As the namesake of both his innova debut and the suite that lies at its heart, the Antikythera Mechanism is a fitting metaphor for composer Andrew McPherson's musical approach. A kind of cogwheel computer designed to calculate astronomical positions, the Antikythera Mechanism was discovered aboard the sunken wreck of an Ancient Greek ship at the turn of the last century, although its astonishing secrets have only unfolded recently. Through his work with his own invention, the magnetic resonator piano, McPherson explores the intersection of technology and art, of science and craft, and in the process discovers an entirely new landscape where tradition and the future walk hand-in-hand.
The record as a whole describes an arc of exploration, beginning first with the forceful solo violin piece "Kinematics," written for and played by Martin Shultz. That energetic statement of purpose gives way to "d'Amore," named for the viola d'amore, a baroque instrument with both bowed and sympathetic strings. Here, the magnetic resonator piano functions as a huge collection of sympathetic strings, producing shifting clouds of tone that echo and prefigure the movement of the piece, dreamily played by star violist Nadia Sirota.
"Secrets of Antikythera" begins with the ghostly sounds of the magnetic resonator piano and it sounds at once like the distant past and the distant future. But even within its alien tones you can perceive the keys being pressed by human hands (those belonging to Ryan MacEvoy McCullough). Gradually, the electronics are stripped away until the eighth movement is played entirely without them. The epilogue brings the elements into balance again: the past, present, and future blurring together into one unending cycle of experience – and the sheer wonder of invention – that is ever fresh and constantly renewing itself.
Andrew McPherson is a composer, engineer and instrument designer working in the Centre for Digital Music at Queen Mary, University of London.
"[T]he title suite … offers the most complete account of what the magnetic resonator piano is capable of contributing to a given piece. In the opening part ('I. Prologue: Mystery'), the instrument … sounds like a church organ more than anything else; when McCullough enters in 'II. Conception,' the vivid contrast between the unaltered piano and its rather ghostly counterpart comes strikingly to the fore. … [But] Secrets Of Antikythera is ultimately less about an innovative sound treatment than it is about the three compositions featured on the recording. They are the release's true drawing card." [FULL ARTICLE]

Louisiana College looking for elusive eighth win
Linebacker Peter "Phil" Ford
is one of the lynchpins of the Louisiana College defense. "We are
all just flying around and having fun; we're always running to the
ball," he said. Louisiana College athletics photo |
Who doesn't like the number seven? It's the number of international super agent James Bond, 7-Up is a tasty lemon-lime beverage, the No. 7 has been worn by some of our greatest athletes like Mickey Mantle and John Elway, and it's just plain lucky. However, the Louisiana College football program may have a different view of the number as it has kept them from the playoffs for the past four seasons.
The Wildcats collected the infamous win No. 7 for the fifth straight season Saturday in a 72-14 massacre of Mississippi College, leaving one opportunity for the Wildcats to finally get over the hump against Hardin-Simmons on their home field Saturday.
A victory would mean not only the best record in the school's history at 8-2 but could propel the American Southwest Conference school into the NCAA national playoffs for the first time.
Standing in the way of those achievements and threatening the possibility of a fifth consecutive 7-3 season for the Wildcats is Hardin-Simmons. HSU boasts the No. 2 offense in the nation at 556.6 yards per contest, and the Cowboys are gunning for a 7-3 record.
However, Louisiana College is determined to climb beyond the plateau, and in the meantime get a little revenge. Last season, after a late loss to McMurry, Louisiana College still had a chance to go 8-2 and get an at-large bid, but HSU defeated the Wildcats in Abilene, 41-27.
This season, seventh-year coach Dennis Dunn has challenged the largest group of seniors he's had since taking over to make history.
"Certainly we feel like we're poised and put ourselves in the position to have the opportunity. Now it's before us and for a lot of people from the outside looking in, the jury is still out on whether our guys can respond in a big game," Dunn said. "I've challenged our seniors that this is their team and their opportunity. What legacy will they leave that's been different than the one left for you? And, the question can only be answered Saturday."
The past Wildcats teams had been defined by their offenses, especially when Ben McLaughlin was at the helm at quarterback. However, Dunn said that the defense has exceeded expectations this season, allowing the team to become more balanced and a better ground team offensively.
"Our defense has been lights out for most of the year," he said. "We've struggled in years past, but we've been extremely consistent this year, and [it] has been a real strength for our team, where in 2010 we were simply having to outscore people."
The Wildcat defense has forced 15 fumbles this season, recovered 14, picked off 14 passes, broke up 56 passes, and scored three defensive touchdowns while holding opponents to just 312.8 yards per contest.
Junior linebacker Peter "Phil" Ford leads LC with nine tackles for a loss, six sacks and...

Thanks for the clear info Claude, seems I am fortunate in having an earlier model.

Hi Gordon,
Fine for you !
I've successfully upgraded my firmware from 02.05.81 to 02.06.81!
I've upgraded Merlin over real HW serial port. My father modified Bitchmouse card cracking module for my needs.
Really happy for you !!!
I am happy to report that I have also updated my Merlin to the newer firmware. I used Tronisoft RS232 to TTL converter together with serial cable connected to a PC.
Hi, new to this and am confused - nothing unusual there!
I plan to buy a merlin/orion from http://www.cameracentre.co.uk/product_i … cts_id=397
Is this the correct one to buy - seems like a good deal at £159.
It is called the 'Acuter Merlin Multi-function mount'
Also wondering what happened to the forum on wifi connection to the merlin/orion seems to have ended - is there a link to the recommended solution?
Hi Liverpool
Yes that is the correct Merlin mount.
Here is a link to where i bought mine in UK as it is a bit cheaper and you get a free
large heavy steel table top A frame base which could be handy , all for £139.99 including
Check postage for your area first just in case it does not cover where you live as the box
is quite heavy and very big.
You may also find you have to update the Firmware after receiving it unless you are
lucky but its quite simple to do.
http://www.scopesnskies.com/prod/merlin … eluxe.html
i have to buy a new merlin in the near future. just to be sure...
all the new heads need a firmware upgrade?? or a the newest models already ready for use??
thanks, boris
Hello Boris,
If you buy the head from "Teleskop-Austria" (see FAQ's), we have the formal garantee that the firmware is the right one!
"Probably" that the heads from Galileo.cc will also have the right firmware, because they just start with the selling of the Skywatcher heads.
This is in my plans to go to the Galileo store in Belgium and check the firmware version ? but I have not yet found the time to proceed ...
Anyway upgrading the firmware is a mather of few minutes when you have the right equipment (PC Windows with USB and ad-hoc FTDI convertor)
In Germany, France, Belgium and UK we have "ad-hoc FTDI convertors" in circulation and freely availlable (just to pay the shipping costs ...).
We can send one of them in Switzerland if necessary ...
great news!
thanks for the fast response.
I just upgraded from 2.04.xx to 2.06.81. I can't wait to get out and take a few hundred shots now.
I used the GMUS-03 USB to Serial cable. Works great, and you can pick the COM port too. I had it for years when I bought a diagnostics tool for my truck.
I am a little bit lost now.
I have checked the log and it says firmeware version=020581 , so I guess that I need an upgrate.
What do I need for this upgrate? I guess that I need a cable and fixed firmware.
Thanks for your help.
Hello Martin,
The Merlin Firmware version need certainly the upgrade.
The upgrade is very easy, I have assembled all needed documents, the upgrade software and the new firmware into my web site
The necessary FTDI cable/convertor for the UK/Eire are actually in the ned of "iamwilll" and I will ask him to send it to you ...

Given that these posts are about as old as my Skywatcher it probably fits in here. I'm a little confused though.
Looking closer at my test run, every second column drops which sounds like it's related to this. The drop occurs where the shift between columns occurred at the top. Not being a regular array of rows and columns there was some fast movement between images on the way up, but as I wasn't expecting this I wasn't paying too much attention at the time.
My firmware version is 010981 and the only thing I've read is don't upgrade it???
Last edited by ozbigben (2011-04-26 13:33:44)
Hello Ozbigbeen,
I confirm that you should not upgrade your firmware ....!
BUT you should tighten the bolts of both vertical and horizontal axis ...
Not too much ... but normally it should not be possible to turn the head with hand !
Thanks Claude.
I'll check these. The vertical axis is the most likely one and is a little looser then the horizontal one (which is fairly tight)... especially I guess since the camera is on the heavy side. I'll have to buy/borrow a socket to tighten it. I'll give it another test run on the weekend. Everything else is looking very promising

Generally avoid moving the head by hand in both axis - use the controller you´re workin with. That´s a bit uncomfortable, but . . . .
Horizontally it can be done easily by turning the centercolum. Vertically don´t force it to move by hand. Merlin is a clever product - but not a very sturdy one.
best, Klaus
I never do... just tested it to see how much force was needed to budge it in case it was the problem. Anything that small designed to move slowly probably doesn't like being moved quickly
Tightened the vertical arm but this didn't help.

We found that when we ask the Merlin/Orion to go to a position < 6°, it does not reach full speed, but remains at a very slow speed. So, in Papywizard, I added this feature: when the asked angle is < 6° (this angle is customizabled as the 'alternate drive angle'), I don't use the Merlin goto function, but instead start to move it at full speed (like when using the arrow buttons), then I poll its position, and stop it when OK. In fact, I stop it *before*, because of the inertia. This angle is called 'inertia angle'. It depends on the load. Once stopped, I make a final move with the Merlin goto function, to be accurate.
So, if you set the alternate drive angle to 15°, it will use this feature even when not necessary. In your preset, you have small moves, so you should enable this feature.
Thanks for that explanation... I think it all makes sense now which is a big relief .
So if I understand it correctly I should probably reset these back to their defaults (things worked well with the short moves and the speed was faster) but I should increase the inertia angle to slow it down sooner on the long moves to compensate for the weight of the camera/lens. Since my drift was ~1° I'd want to change it from 1° to something more like 2.5°.. although I should probably double check with a fast move in the downward direction.
Yes, try to change the inertia angle to match your system...

4. | Suzie | ||
She is generally good-looking because she tries to cover up her flaws. She is one to keep things bottled up inside of her. She hardly ever lets out her angry or sad side because she is constantly trying to show people that she is happy and enjoying life! She is often anxious and worried about others, but never herself. She doesnt know who her true self is because she is just pretending to herself to be happy 24/7. Who is really THAT happy all the time..!? She must be a Suzie.

"We give students the tools to learn by themselves"

Teach students how to use social media first, and language skills will follow. That's Pedro Peixoto's line of action, which his company, Idiomplus, implements in the classroom.
Pedro Peixoto runs a company that teaches social media skills as a gateway to language learning. He argues that by showing students how to use various different platforms, you give them tools to learn a language by themselves. He says social media works as a virtual setting that gives a taste of authenticity for those who aren't physically immersed in their target language and culture.
Is this method effective? Is greater global access to online resources blurring the boundaries between formal and informal education? How can teachers implement this philosophy in the classroom?
Listen to what Peixoto has to say on our TV Channel.

10+ days, 3671.56 km (2281.40 mi)
Discover the diverse culture of BC's Aboriginal peoples, catch the pioneer spirit on the Gold Rush Trail, journey to historic destinations and ferry through the Inside Passage. Heritage sites line this route, along with stops to see tunnels, fossils, totem poles and grizzly bears.
428.64 km - about 6 hours 6 min
559.40 km - about 8 hours 22 min
920.22 km - about 14 hours 46 min
1169.19 km - about 21 hours 30 min
271.83 km - about 4 hours 17 min
161.11 km - about 2 hours 9 min
161.17 km - about 3 hours 46 min
In Vancouver, begin your exploration with a tour of some 6,000 objects from BC's Aboriginal peoples at the Museum of Anthropology. Travel east and stop at Fort Langley National Historic Site. This is the birthplace of British Columbia and a must-see attraction! Continue on to Hope through the rich farm country of the Fraser Valley; walk through the Othello Tunnels, part of the famous Kettle Valley Railway, built between 1910 and 1916. Continue on Highway 1 to Lytton for a guided rafting trip down the mighty Fraser or Thompson rivers. Take Highway 12 to Lillooet and try panning for gold. Continue north on Highway 99 back to Highway 97 and experience the arid desert settings near Clinton.
Continue to Clinton by following the original Gold Rush Trail north on Highway 97. Further north is 100 Mile House, named because it was 100 miles along the original Cariboo Wagon Road from Lillooet – mile zero of this famous route. See one of the few surviving stagecoaches of the Barnard Express and Stage Line here, then continue on to 108 Mile Heritage site and learn about the gold rush at this picturesque lunch spot. From here to Williams Lake and Quesnel, enjoy fishing, camping, canoeing, mountain biking and horseback riding. Make sure you bring your golf clubs and stop at the many community courses in the area – these are challenging courses where tee-off times are easily accessible. To see where the gold rush boomed, make a side-trip east to Barkerville, a historic gold rush town settled in 1862. With more than 125 restored heritage buildings, the town has been named the "Best Large Provincial Attraction" by Attractions Canada on two separate occasions. Continue north to Prince George.
From Prince George, drive Highway 16 west and follow the trail of settlers, gold seekers, fur traders and explorers. Detour north to see Fort St. James National Historic Site. It was the centre of the fur trade in the 1890s, and it's now a restored Hudson's Bay Company trading post. Don't miss the 50-million-year-old fossils at Driftwood Canyon Provincial Park near Smithers. In the Hazeltons, visit the fascinating 'Ksan Historical Village. This replicated ancient Gitxsan village features northwest-style longhouses and totem poles that face the river, in keeping with tradition. Continue on to view the famous totems at Gitwangak and Gitanyow – there are more than 50 in the surrounding area. Detour on Highway 113 to explore the Nisga'a Memorial Lava Bed Provincial Park where a volcano erupted more than two centuries ago, leaving a pocked lava moonscape. Backtrack and spend time in lively Terrace; stroll the Grand Trunk Pathway and learn the history of this Skeena River city. Head south on Highway 37 to Kitimat, which offers plenty of outdoor recreation. Continue west to Prince Rupert.
Spend a few days of cultural exploration near Prince Rupert. Get a close-up view of the area's diverse Aboriginal communities: the Nisga'a, Haisla, Tsimshian and Haida. From Prince Rupert, take a guided grizzly bear watching tour to the Khutzeymateen – Canada's only grizzly bear sanctuary. In Prince Rupert, board BC Ferries to Haida Gwaii (Queen Charlotte Islands). Learn about the Haida's enduring presence amid these magical islands at the Haida Heritage Centre in Skidegate. Arrange a tour to Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve and Haida Heritage Site, a celebration of more than 10,000 years of connection between land, sea and Haida culture. Back in Prince Rupert, tour the fish cannery at the North Pacific Historic Fishing Village, and then enjoy a full day cruise on another BC Ferries vessel down the Inside Passage. Travel through dramatic fjords and green forested channels to Port Hardy on Vancouver Island. This scenic trip also offers glimpses of porpoises, whales, seals and black bears. In Port Hardy, make sure to visit the Copper Maker Gallery, where you can inhale the aroma of cedar in the downstairs workshop and watch carvers creating beautiful, original northwest First Nations artwork.
Drive south to Port McNeill where another memorable BC Ferries trip glides you to Alert Bay on Cormorant Island. Visit the U'mista Cultural Centre, which preserves the rich culture of the Kwakwaka'wakw Aboriginal peoples, and see the totems of the 'Namgis Burial Ground. Back on Vancouver Island, take a side trip to historic Telegraph Cove. Much of the town is built on stilts, raised above the water, and linked by a wooden boardwalk. Follow Highway 19 to Campbell River and witness traditional drumming and dancing at Gildas Box of Treasures Theatre. Don't miss the Museum at Campbell River's "Treasures of the Siwidi" exhibit – a dramatic light and sound presentation which spotlights a series of Aboriginal masks. Continue south to Courtenay.
Visit the the Courtenay and District Museum to dig for fossils in the 80-million-year-old sea bed at the Puntledge River, then drive onward to the communities of Royston, Union Bay, Fanny Bay and finally Qualicum Beach, renowned for its flower gardens and views of Georgia Strait. Further south, sunny Parksville has 7km/4.3mi of sandy beaches and may offer the warmest saltwater swimming on Vancouver Island. Stop in Nanaimo's Petroglyph Park to see 1,000-year-old stone engravings of mythological sea creatures and other fascinating symbols. While in Nanaimo, visit the Nanaimo Museum for a unique glimpse into the lives of the town's Aboriginal settlers dating back more than 2,000 years.
In Duncan, the ancestral home of the Cowichan peoples and the famous Cowichan sweaters, watch carvers at work at the Quw'utsun' Cultural and Conference Centre. In Victoria, the Royal BC Museum showcases the human and natural history of BC, and features outstanding Aboriginal exhibits, natural history galleries and pioneer artifacts. Finally, relax on another scenic cruise with BC Ferries back to Tsawwassen, south of Vancouver. To complete your tour, visit the Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary west of Ladner, which has had more than 260 bird species recorded across its managed wetlands and marshes.

Kiss 'Em Goodbye: Mets
Re-signing Reyes a priority, but health still a concern for lineup, rotation
Kiss 'Em Goodbye is a series focusing on MLB teams as their postseason dreams fade -- whether in September (or before), the league division series, league championship series or World Series.

(The Humanitarian Social Network)
We all know there are aid donors and international funding partners out there that want to change "business as usual" in development (or at least people inside those institutions that do). We also all know that for various reasons, they're not moving quick enough for those working on the ground.
New donors could come in and fill the gaps. But more importantly, we need a new kind of donor, whether they are recent to the scene or not.
The organizations that I see doing the most important and exciting work out there these days most often do not fit into current donors' way of doing business. Donors who rely on lengthy proposals, onerous reporting, and heavy-handed funding mechanisms frankly cannot offer useful capital to organizations that don't fit the mold.
To change this, this new kind of donors will do four things better than donors still stuck in the old ways of moving money around:
1) They are patient. They invest not just today's services or activities delivered, but allow for uncertainty and potentially lower short-term results in favor of long-term outcomes.
2) Their money follows ideas and people, rather than activities. Project may be the modus operandi, but they do not allow them define or confine relationships.
3) They demonstrate a tolerance for risk, rather than failure. They help keep a focus on results, yet offer flexibility and responsiveness to changing conditions.
4) They are able and willing to look within and examine how their own policies and practices exclude and/or inhibit some of the most innovative and effective organizations.
Aid financing can no longer be disconnected from people and place, flowing into a community based on a donor's imperatives. A new kind of aid donor is courageous enough to put their partners' needs first and is adaptive to arising needs, inherent complexities, and local realities.
A new kind of aid donor knows that serving their partners' interests first is what will ultimately fulfill their own.

@Rowan, see you in the new thread :)
@LCD - that was sort of my point. Big donors don't want certain types of agencies to apply because they know it will come back to bite them in the ass. They want to fund middle-men who have small, local partners so they can take responsibility for problems. How often do you see the 'local network' mentioned in funder outlines these days?
@ Rowan and LCD: I'm actually quite interested in the discussion you seem to be starting, here. I've added it as a new discussion (http://aidsource.ning.com/group/humanitarian-practice/forum/topics/...) inside the "Humanitarian Practice" working group.
Hope to see additional debate there!
@Rowan, bilateral donors require onerous proposal and reporting paperwork for many reasons, but in my experience accountability to parliament/congress (and ultimately the taxpayer) for the money spent is the biggest one. This is not to say that their policies and procedures don't make it difficult for smaller NGOs to receive funding, or that we shouldn't be agitating for better bureaucratic practices. The lack of donors of the type described above is down to a whole lot of complex factors. I don't think a calculated attempt to squeeze out the little guy is the aim of many big donors -- it just happens because their interests lead them to put in place structures that happen to exclude them.
Aren't the donors who require lots of paperwork, time, money, effort doing so because they want to weed out smaller orgs? What I mean is: is the lack of donors of the kind you describe an oversight or a calculated move?
@M Couldn't agree more with regards to whose evaluation counts. (Our proclivity for pain in the ass-ness must be shared.) For this particular donor I am describing in the piece, keep in mind that program staff do not function as assessors of a particular project, or even grant, but rather of partnerships. The only question in their mind is...shall another grant be given? Therefore, in terms of our "outcomes", we were looking for the extent to which grantees utilized the very approach you describe, namely who's driving and how are "beneficiaries" shaping the organization's activities? http://www.how-matters.org/2011/09/05/already-of-the-community/
You're absolutely that funding sustainability continues to be an issue, large or small scale. You might also be interested in reading, "The Poor Philanthropist: How and why the poor help each other." http://www.impactalliance.org/ev_en.php?ID=14913_201&ID2=DO_TOPIC It describes how as outsiders we need to re-orient ourselves around this issue...
Interesting approach, the micro, surely full of hope I think. It is not my intention to be negative but Im trained to be a pain in the ass, sorry. So even though I see hope for evelopment to happen in this way, it occurs to me that the issue of sustainability and continuation after project/grant/intervention is finished ( pera subject that personally obsesses me) seems not to be addressed either.
Correct me if I'm wrong, I read through it really quickly. And the issue of evaluation of performance is addressed in a way ("we dont evaluate becasue it's expensive") that for me lacks something while perpetuating the classic power approach (us-them, donor/receiver): they say "foundation staff analyzed grantee reports (..) and conducted site visits in order to determine the extent of responsible use of the funds (...) empowerment of communities and families, holistic programming, and demonstrated outcomes". And reading this comes to my mind, that maybe the ones who should evaluate the intervention are the people who benefited from it, actually, as simple as that. I would perhaps ask the community (after finding out who exactly is the commnity) if she fees empowered, if she feels she has benefited form some outcome, if she feels the outcome is long lasting and has produced sustainable change.
just my humble thoughts. I still find the micro approach as being able to respond to challenges that some big ngo's and their dinosaur approach can't. thanks,
This post discusses some organizations that are making small, responsive grants internationally directly to local groups (mostly with private money): http://www.how-matters.org/2011/01/13/small-grants-part-2/ Many of them emphasize funding "core operating costs" in addition to activities in order to make sure that the people that make up the organizations have what they need.
Yes, please name them :)
have you found this kind of donor? if so, could you inform us on who they are? thanks,

Health Center
Welcome to the Gonzaga University Health Center website.
> Click here for the current schedule
The Flu Season has arrived!!
The Gonzaga Student Health Center is here to help. If you are experiencing a fever, cough, headache, body aches and/or fatigue, you may have the flu. You may contact the Health Center at (509)313-4066 to schedule an appointment with a medical provider.
The Spokane Regional Health District reports that more people are getting the flu this year. In Spokane County there have been approximately 31 hospitalizations so far compared to 4 at this time last year.
1200 doses of flu vaccine was given by the GU Student Health Center during fall semester until the supply was gone. To get a flu shot, you may go to Safeway or Walgreens where they still have flu vaccine available. Getting the flu vaccine is highly recommended.
What can you do to protect yourself and others from influenza?
As with any contagious disease that spreads through the respiratory system, the Health Center recommends the following precautions:
- Get a flu shot each year to prevent the flu.
- Wash your hands for at least 20-30 seconds with soap and warm water, or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
- Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you sneeze, cough, or blow your nose. Quickly throw away used tissues, then wash your hands.
- If you don't have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your sleeve/elbow - not into your hands.
- Regularly clean surfaces in your home that are touched often, like light switches, doorknobs, faucets, and appliance handles.
- Don't share food, utensils, beverages, towels, lipstick, toys, cigarettes, or anything else that might become contaminated with germs.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth. Germs can spread by touching them.
- Avoid close contact with sick people. Most germs are spread when a sick person coughs, sneezes, or talks.
If you have a cough, fever or the flu, stay home until symptoms are gone and until you have been free of fever (less than 100ºF, without the use of a fever-reducing medicine) for at least 24 hours.
Pertussis (Whooping Cough) Information
A pertussis epidemic was declared in Washington on April 3, 2012. There have been 3,484 cases reported statewide through August 11, 2012, compared to 312 reported cases in 2011 during the same time period. There were 965 cases reported statewide in 2011 compared to 608 reported cases in 2010. Pertussis (Whooping cough) spreads easily by coughing and sneezing. It is a very serious illness for babies and children. Vaccination is the best protection against whooping cough. Whooping cough vaccines are recommended for all kids and adults. Kids under seven should get a series of five DTaP vaccines. Kids aged 7 to 10 years who aren't fully vaccinated against whooping cough and everyone aged 11 and older should get a whooping cough booster, called Tdap.
Tdap vaccines are currently available at the Gonzaga University Student Health Center.

About the Health Center
The Health Center functions as your private physician's office with a strong emphasis on wellness. We want you to fully benefit from this Jesuit education. In the event of an accident or illness, our Board Certified Family Physician, Nurse Practitioner and Registered Nurses are here to give you our expertise and care.
The every day decisions you make will determine your ability to stay healthy and enjoy your experiences here. The daily choices you make in regard to nutrition, exercise and rest will play a major role in your success. In a new environment your immunity will be challenged. Besides those choices mentioned, there are several more that will aid your natural resistance to diseases. They include current immunizations to measles, mumps, rubella, chickenpox, Hepatitis A & B, Meningitis, Gardasil (HPV vaccine) and the yearly flu vaccine. These are vital tools to insure your wellness. Besides needing two measles (MMR) injections, the other very important vaccine is Menectra. Bacterial meningitis is slightly increased when you attend college as a first year student and live on campus. Bacterial meningitis is an infection of the fluid surrounding the brain and spine, which causes serious and even life threatening illness. There is a vaccine that can help to prevent four of the known five kinds. We recommend you consult with your own physician and receive this vaccine or come and receive it when you arrive. We prefer that you receive it before you arrive.
Our staff are well versed on ways to assist you in making wellness lifestyle choices as you engage on this trek to independence and knowledge. Life is about change and this is a major change in your life. We are ready to assist you in this transition to an independent healthy person by either medical care or by wellness consultations.

Planisphere Watch…to spot Constellations!
We must have come across those fancy wrist worn PCs or watches with Bluetooth capabilities but a watch which helps us to keep a track of constellations in the sky is something different, isn't it? This Planisphere watch helps us to guide all the constellations in the sky. It has a mini Planisphere on the dial, displaying the constellations visible in the Northern Hemisphere. Simply adjust the date and time which is displayed on the bezel and you are set to witness all the major constellations visible that evening. Location plays a great role though. The watch works only if you are in North America. The watch boasts of a durable brass case, a scratch resistant crystal dome lens and a compass to show you the directions. It has a "Super Luminescent" dial which glows for 2-3 hours straight to make it easily viewable in the dark. So this watch is for all those 'wanaa be astronomers' who love to gaze at sky in the night. Price: $49.99

I am now enjoying a week off from racing after competing 8 times in the last 18 days. I decided to stay right in Antholz, Italy after the last races for my off week. Antholz is the perfect place for the week with great Italian food, beautiful mountains, sunshine and perfect ski tracks right out the front door.
The last week of world cup racing went pretty well. I was happy with my 12th place in the sprint but I was also a little frustrated because I clearly could have reached the podium with better shooting. The same could be said for the Mass Start on Saturday where I had the best ski shape that I have had all winter but I did not combine this with solid shooting. This is why biathlon can be such a frustrating sport! So much has to come together on the same day to have a chance at a top result. But I guess this is also what makes it so special on those days when everything works out.
After a few easier recovery days, I am back to a full training schedule for the week. With World Championships still over a month away, it is important to keep the training volume high in order to be in top shape when it counts. Training longer hours is no problem when you are in a place like this!
On Monday I will leave Italy for Norway and the next round of the World Cup. Of course I enjoy training but I am already looking forward to the next race!

Great & fast servicePros: Unboxing package from Newegg.com, I must say I think they are trying to spoil me. I ordered standard free shipping one day and got it the next day, now that is what I call prompt service. Thank you Newegg. Cons: Box was slightly dented. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Reliabel Media DrivePros: Runs cool, was detected by Win7 x64 immediately, hasn't done anything strange in 6 months of continuous use as a movie and TV storage drive. Streams HD movies throughout my network without a hitch. 5400 RPM doesn't hold back the SATA speed at all -2TB movies transfer in less than a minute. Price is not bad for such a versatile 1TB drive. Cons: None Other Thoughts: Got it for a laptop but realized its size was better suited to media storage when my other hard drive started filling up. Best decision I could have made as it transfers large files quickly and plays movies and TV shows in full HD with any media player I choose. Did you find this review helpful? |
Pretty GoodPros: Fast and quiet enough for my needs. Cons: None Other Thoughts: Installed into an old Seagate enclosure with FireWire 800. Added a ton of storage to my 2009 Mac Mini being used as a media server. Copied a 30GB mkv in about 7 minutes. Allows playback of 1080p movies without stuttering. Did you find this review helpful? |
Died after 2 weeksPros: Quite Cons: Drive was slow, MBP Seemed to drop battery faster with this drive installed. Other Thoughts: With regards to my Cons... Keep in mind that this drive completely died on me after 2 weeks of extreme light use, possibly 16 hours total and I seriously think that's pushing it. Even though the drive went down hill in a days period, it may have been a faulty drive from the get go which may account for the slight battery drainage and slow-poor performance. Not sure if I'll try another or go with a WD. 3 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Great for my HP DV7 laptopPros: Fit nicely in my HP DV7 Cons: None so far 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Why is NewEgg pushing the extended warranty?Pros: High capacity Cons: Real hard sell from NewEgg about the extended warranty Other Thoughts: It's a 5400RPM drive, so the speed isn't great, but in this case capacity was more important to me. 3 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Good so farPros: Installed into my PS3, now to have a ton of space. it's be a long time before i fill this up, i wish i done this from the start. Cons: None so far 3 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Be awarePros: Cheap and OK. Cons: Device must me fixed. do not shake even after done with writing. 1 out of 6 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Great Upgrade! Quiet and Lightning Fast!Pros: Speed over stock MBP HDD 1.5 GBPS -> 3 GBPS plus an additional 750GB for wayyy less than Apple prices. Cons: Not really any...block copying the original HDD took a while but that's not this product's fault. 1 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
A bit disappointedPros: High capacity, small form factor, low price. Cons: Failed after one month of use. Woke up one morning to hear the alarm on my RAID array, and saw this drive was the culprit. Ejected it and re-inserted it (in case of a false alarm), and seven minutes into the rebuild it failed again. Given that I purchased it on 9 October, and it is now 9 November, it's outside of newegg's return policy. I'm trying now to get in contact with seagate to get a replacement. 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
"Bought this HDD to use in my new PS3 slim. Worked right out of the box and my PS3 loves it. I'm more or less buying games ..."— 11/5/2012
"Fit nicely in my HP DV7— 1/13/2013
Double the capacity of my original 500 GB drive."

Where in the world is the Kmart money? It is a question that commissioners and voters alike should be asking.
When the county acquired $700,000 in proceeds from the sale of the building commissioners earmarked the money for industrial development, vowing only to use it when a prime piece of industrial property came along.
Now nearly two years and what seems like a zillion debates later the same group has managed to spend nearly every penny.

Renewable Energy Screening for All ESPCs: Tool to collect high-level site and related energy data to conduct pre-screening analysis for energy projects.
Technology Deployment Matrix: Tool to help Federal agencies evaluate new technologies for energy management projects used for ESPCs.

The following software assists Federal agencies in evaluating utility projects and services:
Building Life-cycle Cost (BLCC): Conducts economic analyses by evaluating the relative cost effectiveness of alternative buildings and building-related systems or components. The program is typically used to evaluate designs that have higher initial costs but lower operating costs of the life of a project.
Energy Escalation Rate Calculator (EERC): Computes an average annual escalation rate for fuel prices from the annual energy price forecasts of the DOE Energy Information Administration. This rate can be used to escalate contract payments in UESCs and ESPCs when the payments are based on projected annual energy cost savings.
FEMP offers Federal agencies an ongoing series of workshops and webinars to train Federal agencies on how to implement UESC projects. Consult the FEMP events calendar for upcoming training opportunities.
The purpose of the Virtual Center of Expertise is to help federal agencies and utilities significantly streamline the UESC implementation process and access the resources and expertise needed to overcome project barriers. The center provides project teams with FEMP points-of-contact and maintains a listing of agency, utility, and financing experts who are willing to assist their peers with project implementation based on their own experiences. The center offers sample documents and templates that are necessary for UESC implementation. These resources are made available to help promote the benefits of implementing a UESC project.
FEMP maintains a list of contacts from agencies and utilities who have volunteered to serve as references to UESC inquiries. These points-of-contact are available to provide support in areas of interest, including contracts, technical services, and regulations concerning UESC project implementation.

Sirius XM Investors: Stop Chasing the Carrot and Buy Pandora
Whatever the case, there are investors of Sirius XM(SIRI) pathetically incapable of realizing that the carrot they have been chasing over the past three years is really out of reach. It has become more of a figment of their imagination. They have yet to realize that they have all been a part of someone's poor attempt at humor by being convinced that they can acquire wealth simply by investing in the idea of satellite radio.
On the heels of Pandora(P) announcing better-than-expected earnings, it was once again time to reassess the long-term viability of Sirius XM -- one that will pin its satellite delivery mechanism over the simpler and more scalable IP format that is used by Pandora, Last.fm, iHeartRadio and a host of other lesser known companies.
As easily I as I have named these alternatives to satellite radio, remarkably Sirius investors are quick to point out that the company is a monopoly ad has no competition. But they don't realize what an indictment this would be on the company if it were true.
As great as it is to constantly proclaim that Sirius has no competition, astute investors can easily study the company's recent performances, its balance sheet and its income statements and ask some very important questions. For instance, why has the company demonstrated such a struggle to secure 50% of the auto market if it has the market all to itself? Essentially, with no competition, not only has Sirius failed to lock up subscribers at an impressive rate, but it loses subscribers to cancellations at a faster rate than it secures them -- at a ratio of almost 7 to 2, and that's being conservative.
For 2011, the company reported 7 million cancellations, while growing subscribers by only 1.7 million. So does that sound like an investment based on anything more than hope -- or as I like to call it, chasing the carrot?
What this should tell investors is that not only is the model not working, but they should bail and find one that is.

If there was ever a time to get involved in politics, it's now. If we allow Congress to pass legislation in favor of Big Entertainment our rights as a generation will be diminished. What's worse is that the original distributor of piracy software was Cnet, a division of CBS/Viacom. And they shared the technology with other major entertainment companies who in turn distributed it as well. Now these media companies have lobbied Congress to make it a criminal act to have used what they distributed. This makes no sense.

There is no way SOPA is going to pass. The techies of the world will totally bug that system and restore free info! It's pretty crazy though that SOPA/PIPA, NDAA, and FEMA Camps all became pubic knowledge around the same time. Do they think we don't notice this?
