DA says rape investigation will include other NCCC students
Feb 12, 2009 — Yesterday, we reported on a North Country Community College student jailed in Essex County after being charged with rape. Michael Odumosu has been held without bail because he's a foreign student and his visa has been suspended. Franklin County District Attorney Dereck Champagne now says a grand jury will likely hear the charges against Odumosu "within the next two or three weeks." He also says more student-athletes at the school are being investigated. Meanwhile, college officials say they're handling of the case was appropriate. Brian Mann has this update. Go to full article
Foreign college student jailed for weeks in Adirondacks, raising questions
Feb 11, 2009 — A former student from North Country Community College in Saranac Lake remains behind bars this week, following his arrest in mid-December. Michael Odumosu traveled to the North Country from London, England, to play for the school's basketball team. He is accused of raping a young woman in a student apartment just off campus. The charges have also triggered an inquiry by Federal Immigration officials. As Brian Mann reports, Odumosu's supporters are raising questions about the way his case was handled, both by the school and by police.
Correction: North Country Community College officials did make an effort to reach NCPR before this story aired. Tomorrow during regional news, we'll hear from Ed Trathen, Vice President for Enrollment & Student Services. Go to full article

Deadline pressures possible NCCC move
Apr 05, 2007 — Lawmakers from Essex and Franklin counties have less than two weeks to decide whether they'll support North Country Community College's proposed move to the former Upstate Biotechnology property just outside Lake Placid. County and local leaders met with the college's trustees yesterday. There was no clear decision on the move, but the clock is ticking.

I participated in the Alcohol Education Program of Richland County. I did everything required of me (attended classes, impact panels, etc.). We also had to do Community Service too and turn in a form by 5:00 PM today. Unfortunately with being on rotation for school and moving it slipped my mind until I realized at about 5:15 today and rushed to Staples to fax it in which occurred at 5:26 before calling and leaving a message for my case worker at 5:30 asking for her to call me. What are the chances of repercussions coming on to me? I would hate to have to go through the entire program just to fail like that.

NARRATOR: What sets War Craft apart from other video games are the official discussion zones, also known as "forums", where players can discuss the events of Azeroth and interact with the game's developers. Jonathan, who goes by the name Melian on the forums, finds the discussion on how the patch affects his character class, known as The Druid.
JONATHAN MALFOY, typing angrily: Incompetant fools!
NARRATOR: He immediately registers his disgust about the new patch.
NARRATOR: The game of World of War Craft is only half the story. The game is so popular that players sometimes have to wait up to 2 hours to enter what are known as "player vs. player battlegrounds", ironic considering the often boasted limitless vastness of the web. While Jonathan waits his turn he engages in a spirited discussion about his experiences with the game on a second computer designed for just such a purpose.
JOHNATHAN MALFOY, biting into his sandwich: I've had it up to here with Blizzard's mishandling of my class!
NARRATOR: Jonathan, or Melian as he is better known, is exhibiting a behavior known as nerd rage.
DAVID MILLER, Director of Internet Aggression Research, Univ. of California, Irvine: Nerd rage is the intense overreaction to things that upset you over the Internet, usually related to video games and computers that, at the end of day really don't matter.
NARRATOR: David Miller is the leading researcher of net aggression in the country. He's been studying nerd rage at the University of California in Irvine for over 15 years.
DAVID MILLER, Director of Internet Aggression Research, Univ. of California, Irvine: It isn't just enough to be angry. You have to exhibit an elitist attitude towards anyone you perceive has wronged you. Everybody is horrible at their job except for you. You know how everything should run, and if they just would listen to you, everything would be perfect. That's what goes through these guy's brains.
NARRATOR: At one point Jonathan becomes so angry that he threatens to cancel his World of War Craft subscription, valued at around 15 dollars per month.
JOHNATHAN MALFOY: There are other companies that deserve my hard-earned dollars more than Blizzard ever did. Has Sony fixed Everquest 2 yet? Heh, I doubt it considering how incompetent S.O.E. is. But after this insulting patch I'm taking my money elsewhere.
DAVID MILLER, Director of Internet Aggression Research, Univ. of California, Irvine: They always threaten to cancel. Every single time. It's an extension of their massive egos. They believe their presence is so important to this virtual world that leaving would somehow be detrimental to the game.

Significant premiums over stock market prices in biotechnology acquisitionsBy Jeremy Webster, Chris Yatscoff and David Smythe |
In the past few months there have been several acquisitions of biotechnology companies at significant premiums to their stock market prices. Several companies have been purchased at over two to three times its pre-announcement stock market price. The purpose of this article is to examine this issue to see if these are isolated events or more of a trend. We will also seek to explain why this may be occurring from the perspective of various stakeholders including biotechnology executives, pharmaceutical executives, board members, investment bankers, analysts and other industry representatives to identify reasons why these premiums are being paid. |

I was looking for a nursing chair that was reasonably priced and recently bought the bopsii glider chair from Simplybaby.
The chair was delivered to my house within two days of me ordering it-well before the delivery estimate!
It completely matches the product description, not claiming to be anything it isn't. It isn't the finest quality fabric but I wasn't expecting it to be. It was easy to assemble, looks great, feels very comfy and I'm very glad I didn't need to pay through the roof for a good nursing chair.
I'm looking forward to using it when the baby comes and would highly recommend simplybaby and the bopsii glider chair.

The minutes from yesterday's CSSWG face-to-face meeting are a very interesting read in all sorts of ways. I was somewhat struck by this part:
tantek: I think if you're working on open standards, you should propose your features before you implement them and discuss that here. smfr: We can't do that. sylvaing: We can't do that either.
Those are the Apple and Microsoft representatives replying to Tantek.
Now I won't claim that Mozilla always does this, or that it's even always desirable; it's often better to have a prototype and then discuss the standard than discuss standardization in a completely theoretical way. But this is not about prototypes; this is about not being able to talk about a feature until there's a more or less complete implementation, which is when Microsoft and Apple tend to announce new features. I knew that both Microsoft and Apple had longstanding policies of refusing to discuss future plans, but hadn't really thought about the negative effect this blanket policy has on standardization efforts...
Posted by bzbarsky at February 7, 2012 1:50 PM | TrackBackRandom thoughts:
Right now, the way the ecosystem works with vendor prefixes, the likes of Google and Apple are being effectively rewarded by _not_ pushing to standardize their vendor prefixed properties. That is, under the current vendor prefix agreement, the technological advances made under the vendor prefixes are not accessible to other vendors/browsers. While that makes sense for experimental features with an evolving spec that risks changing very often, the intentions of vendor prefix is being abused when vendors refuse to move to standardize properties.
And the reality is that they have a huge reason not to do so: vendors can rig the field in their favors. If Google and Apple would speak honestly, they would probably say "why would we change anything? changing things would be against our interests."
Creating a whitelist of specific vendor prefixed properties that can be implemented by other vendors would effectively but an end to this vicious "collateral damage", remove the reward, and ultimately, if this comes hand-in-hand with an awareness campaign, could result in tangible moves toward standardized properties.
A whitelist agreed and managed by a group of vendors would probably be a good way to move forward to insure things are not derailing and for standardization (versus penetration) to still be the ultimate goal for new properties.
The war over IE6 was won in big part by building overall better products which pushed migration of users out of IE6. While the same can't really be done in the iOS ecosystem (thanks to Apple's decision to block 3rd party browser engines on its platform), it can be achieved on Android. Leveling the playing field by agreeing on a whitelist of -webkit- properties - alongside building a kick-ass mobile browser - might be enough to secure enough of a market share and change the way things are done on mobile.
Blah, random disorganized thoughts. Wish everyone the best possible future we can shape for ourselves : )
Posted by: Mathieu Pellerin on February 10, 2012 2:25 AMThe possible downside of a vendor prefix properties whitelist is that other vendors will be at the "mercy" of the original vendor and that vendor could change spec with the intention of harming other vendors parsing that vendor's prefixed property.
That said, it'd most probably not happen as playing with spec (for no other reason than harming competitors) would also mean unjustified messing up of web developers CSS code.
The good of a jointly managed vendor prefixed properties whitelist appears to outweigh the bad. And it seems to avoid the ugly :)

YouTube - Jim Rome on Softball Guy War Carl in Rosemead I will agree that bit is funny....problem is that one has to listen to a bunch of crap (OMG..that was soo funny Rome..coke shot out my nose all over my keyboard! HAhHAHHA) to get to it.
I love the "How was the softball game" "You know, would you just shut up!"
Like I said, he has his moments but you get to sit through boring interviews with NASCAR drivers and NBA players to get to it. Then on top of having to hear the interview you then get to hear him talk about how great of a person the interviewee was for the next 1/2 hour of the show. If my kids ever are going down the wrong road in the future I'll just get them interviewed on the Rome show because apparently that makes everyone a "great guy".
Well, one thing for sure. He definitely thinks that if he repeats himself enough, you'll belive what he says. Honestly, if he repeats himself enough....you'll believe what he says. Seriously, anyone else with me on this.... If he...repeats himself...enough times...you have to believe it.
I'm serious. Give it two weeks of unbias listening....you all point out the bad things but there are many more good things about him.
I'm glad it floats your boat but I've listened off and on for 5 years now so I don't think I'm going to suddenly "get it". I get all of his little jokes but they're usually just stupid and not funny. I'm more a fan of opinion-based sports shows rather than simply interviews so I can understand why I don't love his show...I'm also not big on Dan Patrick but at least he doesn't come off as pompous and self-loving as does Rome.
Actually Dan Patrick is 10 times more arrogant than Rome. At least Rome is sarcastic. DP has great interviews but he really does love himself. At least he comes off that way. I am really starting to like the Herd
Rome's interviews are ok, but he's so bad at being a radio personality it makes his show unlistenable. You can tell he has nothing to say half the time, so either he just doesn't say anything and leaves dead air, or he talks about the same stupid thing over and over and over again until what was once funny, is no longer funny.
Now we can agree on something, Colin is the best show on ESPN Radio as of now IMO.
I never get why people love bashing Rome. Why say anything if you don't like someone. It seems a lot of people at ISU love the Family Guy show for some reason, because I do not think that show has ever done anything funny do I interrupt all the Family Guy threads just so people know how much I hate it? What is the point? Anyway.. Cant wait for the next smackoff :)

FARMINGTON -- Physics trumped meteorology Friday at Utah State University's Physics Day at Lagoon.
Students from Idaho, Wyoming, Nevada and Utah arrived under-dressed for the 50-degree weather, wearing T-shirts and shorts or jeans. But they put on disposable rain ponchos or wrapped up in towels, and were off, ignoring the rain.
Some sought out thrill rides while others fussed over projects they entered into science competitions.
"It looks like they're just soldiering on despite the weather," said Dick Andrew, Lagoon's vice president of marketing. "We've been doing this more than 20 years, and we've never canceled."
Pulling the plug would have been problematic, since 6,000 to 7,000 guests were expected, and many had traveled hundreds of miles in one of the 72 buses parked outside the park gate.
T.J. Benard, 14, and a student at Bountiful Junior High, balanced fun with scientific competition. He rode 10 rides before heading to the park's Davis building to prepare the ride model he designed for judging.
Crafted from foam pipe insulation, dowels and a lot of electrical tape, T.J.'s "Rolling Thunder" was designed as a water slide through a long, twisted dark tube.
"Having it dark adds to the suspense," T.J. explained.
The project taught him the potential of kinetic energy, T.J. said.
Paige Hammer, 14, and also from Bountiful Junior High, designed a model water ride. "Splash Through Time" encased its riders in large plastic orbs, a larger version of hamster exercise balls, and send them floating down a twisted river surrounded by life-sized models of dinosaurs, then astronauts.
"It's like time travel," Paige said. "I would love to ride something like this. And I learned that G- forces increase when you turn a corner, and I learned about centrifugal force and gravity."
Kenneth Bennion, USU event coordinator, said the students deeply committed to the sciences tend to sign up for the Physics Bowl, an academic competition that rewards the winning team with six full, four-year scholarships to attend USU.
"But the event is really a chance for all the students to be a scientist for a day," Bennion said. "They can ride a roller coaster and measure the G- force with accelerometers they made and strap to their wrist."
Other activities included an efficiency challenge for student-designed windmills; a time trial for sending student-built robot vehicles through a maze; and battles between robot vehicles.
"I thought it would be fun to see what I could build," said Sarah Lamb, 12, of Bluff Ridge Elementary School in Syracuse. "I've learned you have to be very patient to make a robot work."
"We got knocked out of the circle," said Sarah's project partner, 12-year-old Kalena Ericksen. "But we won two rounds earlier, and we're having fun. The only problem is my hands are freezing and it's hard to push the buttons."
The rain cleared in the early afternoon, but Eric Held, USU physics associate professor, still had to worry about egg missiles plunging from above.
"One almost got me one year," said Held, who runs the egg drop event.
Students wrap raw eggs in materials intended to cushion their fall, then drop them from the Sky Ride down to a bull's eye target on the ground.
"It's when things slow down that you start wandering a little," Held said. "That can put you near the target."
About 40 percent of eggs survive intact, Held said, as he stood near a roll of white toilet paper tinged with yolk-yellow on its inner layers.
Held said the egg drop teaches Newton's Laws: The law of inertia; force equals mass times acceleration; and for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Held offered one tip for egg droppers of the future.
"Students always think they are moving faster than they are," he said of the Sky Ride. "Notice most of the carnage is in front of the target."

If you have stumbled across this article then chances are that you want to know what to do before it's too late. The first thing you need to understand is that your break up does not have to be permanent, in fact a vast majority of break ups can be reversed. The problem with reuniting after a break up is being to act maturely and rationally and not allow you emotions to make you do or say something that you may quickly regret. Post break up behaviour is the number one cause of shattered hopes of ex's and it is usually due to stupid and silly common mistakes that almost ALL ex's make.
If you are struggling to get your emotions under control you need to put things in perceptive. While I can not guarantee you what I am about to reveal with get your ex back, making the same mistakes as so many other ex's will quickly destroy any hope that you are holding onto.
One of the best ways to help turn things around is to do the complete opposite of what you are doing now! Chances are you are waiting by the phone or trying to stay in contact with your ex right? If so, you must stop ALL communication with your ex immediately. The last thing you want your ex to feel right now is that you will be waiting on the sidelines if he or she decides to change their mind. The last thing you want to be is the little puppy dog desperately waiting by the phone to speak to their ex, don't do it!
Both men and women love confidence so you must do you best to contain your emotions and put a smile on your face! I can't tell you how effective it is when your ex sees that you are happily living without him or her in your life, it can make them wonder why you now have a change of heart and what has bought on this sudden change!
Confidence after a break up is really the key to getting your ex to want you back. Break ups have almost nothing to do with love but everything to do with indifference. The key is to show your ex that you can respect and be mature about the break up, it is almost like reverse psychology!
If you can hold your composure and stick to your guns then you have a great chance to make things around get back together after a break up. If you want to discover amazing techniques that will teach you what to do when you want your ex back then check out this site for some great step by step guides. Good luck!

Chuuwee Reveals Large Professor Collaboration For Debut LP
Chuuwee lines up a collab with Large Professor for his upcoming debut LP "Wild Style."
With his debut album Wild Style slated for a release this May 29 on Amalgam Digital, rapper Chuuwee has been gaining a strong buzz among Hip Hop heads. Now, the Sacramento rep reveals that he has a big collab with Large Professor for his album.
According to a recent interview with Squeeze Time Radio, Chuuwee and Large Pro have linked up for a song that will appear on his forthcoming debut. Chuuwee said that when he visited Extra P in the studio, he though he was going to be simply listening to beats; instead, he ended up writing and recording a verse with the legendary emcee/producer.
"Big, big, big shout out to Large Professor. I just came from Large Professor and Cormega's stu right now," he revealed. "That was crazy, man. My stomach dropped when I walked in there…I wrote right then and there. I thought he was just gonna play me beats, he was like, 'You got something to spit right now?' Yeah! I've got verses for days."
Check out the full interview below.

A multi-resolution census algorithm for calculating vortex statistics in turbulent flows
The fundamental equations that model turbulent flow do not provide much insight into the size and shape of observed turbulent structures. We investigate the efficient and accurate representation of structures in two-dimensional turbulence by applying statistical models directly to the simulated vorticity field. Rather than extract the coherent portion of the image from the background variation, as in the classical signal-plus-noise model, we present a model for individual vortices using the non-decimated discrete wavelet transform. A template image, which is supplied by the user, provides the features to be extracted from the vorticity field. By transforming the vortex template into the wavelet domain, specific characteristics that are present in the template, such as size and symmetry, are broken down into components that are associated with spatial frequencies. Multivariate multiple linear regression is used to fit the vortex template to the vorticity field in the wavelet domain. Since all levels of the template decomposition may be used to model each level in the field decomposition, the resulting model need not be identical to the template. Application to a vortex census algorithm that records quantities of interest (such as size, peak amplitude and circulation) as the vorticity field evolves is given. The multiresolution census algorithm extracts coherent structures of all shapes and sizes in simulated vorticity fields and can reproduce known physical scaling laws when processing a set of vorticity fields that evolve over time.

Max Scherzer gave me a scare with some early struggles but eventually rebounded to post a more Scherzer-like 10 strikeouts and a win over the Twins. As I suspected, Matt Harvey in a road start, even against the Minnows, was a more challenging win opportunity than most people expected. While most of my offense did almost nothing, Brandon Moss had a banner day slugging two homers and combining with Scherzer to propel my team to fifth-place in a 20-team, 50/50 contest.

Hey Actionsquid, you make a good point but...
I really think The-Swain has had little experience with driving shooters so you're helping him more than you think, I still agree with you.
Exciting at first but boring while playing a while...
Great concept with mediocre execution. There are so many little things that add up to really be a nuisance.
-Why is the shooter dependent on the car's lane position? It would make more sense to include independent controls for the car and the shooter. No sense in shooting forward when the threat is beside you.
-The mouse tracking is pretty awful. It took me a while to figure out that you could somewhat control the speed of the vehicle. With the mouse way up in the air with the car down low, it just doesn't really make sense.
-The weapon system is boring. I get to use a dinky pistol 90% of the time, if not more. There's just something satisfying about letting a machine gun rip on full auto. That said, if weapons must be limited to pickups, then the classic keep-what-you-got or the more modern choose-when-to-use-it are much more preferable. The former is best used when there's a multiple life system, die and lose it.
-The perspective is really annoying. The size changes make little sense, the speed at which things approach is inconsistent.
-Small details like agents actually PUNCHING a car, and the road having so many cones, barricades and rocks add up to be more than just trivial.
-The game itself is challenging, yes, but SO unrewarding. It's dull, nothing special other than perhaps its relation to the madness series. It's so simple and mind numbingly repetitive that it doesn't even feel like it's WORTH trying to progress.
The worst part is having seen The-Swain's work in the past, being well-planned and filled with all sorts of details to work with. This just doesn't come close.
This was a quick time-waster game. My brother's wedding is in a few months and as Best Man I'm to give a short speech. If everyone is expecting the Gettysburg Address, then of course they're going to be disappointed when I fill only a minute with words. I hope you can appreciate the analogy.
In most cases your points are totally valid, but under the pretense that this game should have been more than Luis and I ever wanted it to be. I do agree that your advancement through the game should feel more rewarding, but unfortunately this was our first attempt at a game of this kind, and we were/are happy with what it is because it's all we meant for it to be.
If you want to try a disappointing game that was actually INTENDED to be spectacular, go try out my Blockhead game.
AWESOME~!! ...but again it's hard
I only saw a truck and a few agents in Madness Combat 9, but this is still cool! eventhough it's hard.
awesome gameXD but hard
this is an awesome game!!! happy madness day!!

To evaluate changes in cup/disc (C/D) diameter ratios and parapapillary atrophy in patients with non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NA-AION), using morphometric methods.
The clinical non-interventional study included 157 patients with unilateral or bilateral NA-AION. Optic disc photographs taken from both eyes at the end of follow-up were morphometrically examined.
Follow-up was 86.3±70.3 months. Horizontal and vertical disc diameters (P?=?0.30;P?=?0.61, respectively), horizontal and vertical C/D ratios (P?=?0.47;P?=?0.19,resp.), and size of alpha zone and beta zone of parapapillary atrophy (P?=?0.27;P?=?0.32,resp.) did not differ significantly between affected eyes and contralateral normal eyes in patients with unilateral NA-AION. Similarly, horizontal and vertical disc diameters, horizontal and vertical C/D ratios, and size of alpha zone and beta zone did not vary significantly (all P>0.05) between the unaffected eyes of patients with unilateral NA-AION and the eyes of patients with bilateral NA-AION. Optic disc diameters, C/D ratios, size of alpha zone or beta zone of parapapillary atrophy were not significantly associated with final visual outcome in the eyes affected with NA-AION (all P>0.20) nor with the difference in final visual acuity between affected eyes and unaffected eyes in patients with unilateral NA-AION (all P>0.25).
NA-AION did not affect C/D ratios nor alpha zone and beta zone of parapapillary atrophy. Optic disc size was not related to the final visual acuity outcome in NA-AION.

Yanal appointed new Fenerbahce manager
Turkey's former national coach Ersun Yanal was on Friday named as the new manager of Fenerbahce, who this week were kicked out of the Champions League for match-fixing.
Yanal joins the club on a one year deal after a two year spell with Eskisehirspor.
He succeeds Aykut Kocaman, who resigned at the end of last season after a second-place finish in the league behind their arch rivals Galatasaray.
Fenerbahce and another Turkish club Besiktas were barred from European competition next season by UEFA for their involvement in a corruption scandal.
Both clubs are appealing the verdict.

Miami Hurricanes guard Shane Larkin threw the ceremonial first pitch before Saturday's NCAA baseball game at Coral Gables between Miami and Clemson.
Shane is the son of Barry Larkin, Baseball Hall of Famer, but chose basketball over baseball. Based on this video showing Shane throwing the ceremonial first pitch over the catcher's head and into the backstop, we'd say he made the right choice.

| Windows 7 Backup Broken I am finding that I have a bit of a problem at the moment. I installed a trial version of Acronis True Image Home and decided to give it a try for a few days to compare it to the built in Windows backup. I liked it but decided it was not much different then the windows backup and uninstalled it. Sense that point my windows backup has not worked. I do not know what to do at this point. I go to the control panel - System and Security - and try to click on either Backup and Restore or Back up your computer and neither are able to be selected. I click on them and nothing happens. I have asked Acronis about this and they have acknowledged the problem and offered some fixes, but none of them have solved my problem. Is there anyone here who might have some insight into what I might be able to do? I do not want my option to be that I have to go back to buying and using Acronis after they have caused massive amounts of frustration for me. On another note does anyone know a way of using a backup utility of some type that would allow me to create multiple backups on multiple drives at the same time? I.E. I have a usb external drive connected to a laptop dock at my office and a network drive at my house. I want them to both be backed up to, but I have not found something that will do the same backup say daily to multiple drives. Thanks in advance for any help on this. Matt |

| You should still be able to do a system restore to before you installed the software. Personally I only back up files, not whole disk images. If problems arise I always like to start from fresh with only my files being the thing the same as before. |

| I am only backing up data not doing a disk image. I just tried out the acronis true image. That is why I want to be able to go back. I did try doing a system restore, but no luck. The oldest restore I have is after I installed that unless there is something I am not aware of to go back further. Matt |

| Sorry about your predicament - and can't help you with that I'm afraid. I use Macrium Reflect free version to image to a second internal HDD and then Teracopy this to the system drive (separate partition). I also save a copy on a USB HDD. With my images being less than 15GB I can store quite a few versions. I believe a back-up utility such as SyncBack or SyncToy can be scheduled to do automatic copying - SyncBack certainly can and there is a free version. I use SyncBack to back-up my data regularly but I don't use an automatic schedule. I have done several restores using the original images all of which have succeeded so I've never needed any back-up copies. Better safe than sorry though since HDD space is (was) cheap. |

| Go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Administrative Tools\Services and make sure Volume Shadow copy And windows Backup services are enabled and set to Manual. Acronis and Macrium are better imaging choices than the native Windows Backup. They are both configurable while Windows Backup is not. After you back up your data, you can try a Repair Install |

| The full version of Acronis takes over windows backup. Simply uninstalling Acronis does not reverse this. Acronis takes over registry keys and is extremely hard to remove. This link from Microsoft Answers may help. Here is the link from Acronis to remove it. |

LinuxFest Northwest 2009 - April 25th and 26th - Bellingham, Washington
Paw Prints: Writings of the maddog
What are you doing on Saturday and Sunday April 25th and 26th?
If you are anywhere near Bellingham, Washington, USA you could stop in at the Bellingham Technical College for the 10th annversary of the LinuxFest Northwest 2009.
Many talks and activities are scheduled from things for newbies to highly technical. I was there many years ago, and I can tell you the people of the Pacific Northwest are very open and friendly. I look forward to this return visit.
I will be there, talking about how and why Linux and Free Software will reach world dominiation, and how there is virtually nothing that anyone can do about it other than enjoy the ride. Sure, it still takes "work" to make sure that free software meets the needs of everyone, and there will probably "always" be closed source proprietary software in small pockets, but the writing is on the wall....so enjoy it, Mr. Gates.
I will also be celebrating my 40th year in commercial computing, 32nd year using Unix, fifteenth year using Linux and helping to celebrate the 10th year of the LinuxFest (whippersnappers!). I am still trying to find out if my professor was right when he said in 1972: "Jon, you will never be able to make a living writing software." So far he has been wrong.
Along with talking about the past (real programmers measure computers in tons) I will be talking about my present and future projects, including my retirement project of "maddog's mansion and marina of math, music, micro-computing, micro-brewing, micro-winery, micro-distillery and bait shop".
I hope to see you there.
See you there!
See you in Washington!

It's always exciting to be caught off guard by the abilities of a band you've never seen. Having heard amazing things about Rocktin Grove—a group out of Boulder—I was excited to finally see them play, especially at their biggest headlining show yet: The Fox Theater.
On Saturday August 4th, Rocktin Grove managed to epitomize a postmodern band without the slightest hint of pretention. Seamlessly sewing together select pieces of other genres, Rocktin Grove concocts their own unique blend of music, complete with a wide variety of instrumentation, rich, engaging vocal harmonies, and original material.

Comments about REI Alpine Lakes Rain Pants - Women's Petite:
jumped on the ski/snowboard season late and couldn't find any "real" ski/snowboard pants. i found these pants at the last minute, thanks to the help of an REI staff member, who also suggested using lightweight wool tights as a liner. the pants fit great and kept me dry. they're not too heavy which is nice so i can use them any other time of the year, especially hiking.

Evaluating the trade effect of developing regional trade agreements : a semi-parametric approach
Many recent papers have pointed to ambiguous trade effects of developing regional trade agreements (RTAs), calling for a reassessment of their economic merits. The author focuses on seven such agreements currently in force in Sub-Saharan Africa (ECOWAS and SADC), Asia (AFTA and SAPTA) and Latin America (CACM, CAN, and MERCOSUR), estimating their impacts on their members'trade flows. Instead of the usual dummy variables for RTAs, he proposes a variable taking into account the number of years of membership. He then combines a gravity model with kernel estimation techniques to capture the non-monotonic trade effects while imposing minimal structure on the model. The results indicate that except for SAPTA, these RTAs have had a positive impact on their members'intra-trade over the estimation period (1960-99). AFTA seems to be the most successful among them, with an estimated positive impact on its members'imports from the rest of the world (hence no trade diversion), but its impact on their exports to the rest of the world is rather limited. During its first 10 years of existence, ECOWAS appears to have had a positive impact on its members'imports from the rest of the world (hence no trade diversion), but this positive impact vanished over time. SAPTA's negative impact on its members'intra-trade is probably an implicit effect of the India-Pakistan tensions over the estimation period.Download Info

Product Type: Technics turntables
Newest Review: ... 16.2 cm and weighs just 11 kg. I now have this hooked up in my studio to my Denon amp and I love it to bits. The first thing that I notice... more
When they're gone, they're gone!!
Technics SL-1200MK2
Member Name: Stardleg
Technics SL-1200MK2
Date: 06/10/11
Advantages: Built like a Swiss watch
Disadvantages: Should be treated like a Swiss watch.
These decks are now out of production, so if you're interested, my advice is to buy them now as their value is only going upwards. They may have been designed almost forty years ago, but that design is so good that it has stood the test of time. Essentially the innards are made from top quality components, as are all the external components, explaining why these are the default choice of turntable for virtually all DJ's. I've had my 1200's for ten years now and they haven't missed a beat. My only gripe would be the target light. When I first got my decks the target light would move into position with a smooth, damped motion, however after a couple of weeks they lost this action and come up with a bit of a clang. Other than this my 1200's have been perfect.
I would advise anyone who is considering buying a set of these to do so now, as they are gathering value. However as they have gone out of production, any retailers that have any new stock left tend to be charging exorbitant prices. Many independent retailers are selling second hand ones and the small ads are full of them.If you are lucky enough to find a retailer with unopened stock at a price of £350 or less per turntable, my advice would be to snap them up.
To everyone else considering buying a set, here's some advice to avoid you getting stung:
1. At present it is a buyer's market, there is plenty of choice if you are patient and keep looking. Try to get the most pristine set you can and remember to haggle; most people will only part with their beloved Technics when they absolutely have to.
2. Check that the gimbal (pivot) for the tonearm has no play in it, as it can be a pain to sort. Even if the gimbal does have play in it, it will most likely still track pretty well, but when it is in proper nick, you will be able to carry out insane scratching and it will never leave the groove.
3. When checking the gimbal, check the tonearm itself. Look for any dents or dings, as they will affect the audio quality. A new tonearm is around £60 and about the same to have installed. If the tonearm is dented and the gimbal isn't tight, walk away.
4. Ensure that the cartridge fits snuggly into the tonearm and has no play in it as this is an expensive fix. Likewise, avoid like the plague, any decks which have coins stuck on top of the cartridge. This absolutely destroys the needle, but more importantly will give you an insight into the sort of life the decks have had. (Some stylus/cartridge manufacturers make small weights designed for placing on top of the cartridge which resemble a 5 pence piece, but close inspection will usually distinguish these from actual coins).
5. Check it is still calibrated. Start the turntable and move the pitch to zero (ensuring the green light comes on when you do). Now look at the strobe light (the light with the power switch on top) where it lights up the edge of the platter. The second row of dots should be completely motionless. If you are buying a pair, run them both simultaneously, and then move both pitches to their slowest and fastest positions and check they are synced. If they aren't they will need to be dismantled and re-calibated, a job best left to the experts, or one or both of the platters will need to be replaced, at around £60 a go.
6. Move the pitch controller slowly away from zero in each direction. Check that the green light goes out as soon as it clicks out of the zero position. If it stays on with the pitch control moved even a tiny distance, the pitch control is knackered and needs replaced. I tend to find that 1200's with duff pitch controls have usually been ragged anyway.
7. Place a record on the platter and put the needle in the first groove with music on it. Press down on the record on the opposite side from the needle, there should be virtually no vertical movement on either side of the platter. While still holding the record on the opposite side from the needle, start the deck. Now start to scratch it back and forward. If the needle is going to skip it is most likely to do it when stylus is at the far edge. It should be able to withstand some pretty vigorous scratching (don't go daft) and not leave the groove.
8. Don't be put off by aftermarket phono leads. The original phone leads were a weakness and any aftermarket leads fitted will almost always be of superior quality. However as they are hardwired in, make sure they been installed properly. Do this by moving the leads around while you have the needle on a stationary record, and then listen for any crackling or "rustling."
9. Check that the earth lead is correctly attached as these are very thin and flimsy, and easily pulled out when moving decks around. Some decks have been modified so that they don't need an earth, but to make sure this has been done right, listen for any low frequency humming, with the needle both on and off a stationary record.
10. Unplug the deck and remove the slipmatt. On the platter are two holes through which you need to place the tops of your index fingers, with one thumb on the centre spindle. Now pull upwards to remove the platter. This will need to be be done with quite a bit of force so be ready for it to come free. Once you have the platter off, check the underside. You are wanting to check the iron core which runs around the platter. It is rare for these to be damaged, but it is brittle and if it gets chipped, it will affect the performance and precision of the deck, as it is this which the electro-magnets use to rotate and brake the platter.
11. Lastly, don't get fobbed off by sellers trying to explain away any short comings from their turntables. Whilst 1200's which have components which are a bit loose and slack will still function pretty well with and stay in the groove most of the time, a tight, well maintained set will operate just as they did when they came out of the box, and that means the only time you will touch the needle is to place it at the start of a track and remove it afterwards. My 1200's are ten years old and it is a very, very rare occasion when the needle skips.
Remember all Technics turntables are built like a Swiss watch, but like a Swiss watch, if treated with a bit of TLC, will last a lifetime, so when judging a potential purchase, set your standards high and don't worry if you don't use them a lot, because as I mentioned earlier they are no longer in production, so they are an asset which will only increase in value.
