In an effort to bring greater awareness (if such a thing were possible) to the plight of now-stateless leaker Edward Snowden, Anonymous has announced #OpFreeSnowden, which takes the form of a Tweetstorm today, starting at 10am Pacific Standard Time. The stated objective, to "Take our PRIVACY BACK!" is clearly not going to be won by any action on Twitter, but in a propaganda war every little bit helps. The Tweetstorm package is designed and distributed in French and English, and signed by Anonym Hope and Anonymous Ekspct.
A scant handful of previous Anon-sponsored tweetstorms have been successful at trending globally, and with the widespread awareness of the Snowdon situation, this hashtag has as good a shot at the top as any Anonymous has ever launched. Clearly it will appeal only to those who support the ex-Booz Allen employee and his revelations of government spy programs, most famously PRISM and Tempora. There are no shortage of these; although surveys indicate the average American is content to give up the right to privacy for government surveillance, Americans also like a good David and Goliath story, and this one has one hell of a narrative.
EU nations banding together to pin the Bolivian ambassador's plane and force it to land in Austria, on the off chance Snowden was aboard? No screenwriter would pen such a far-fetched scene. A marriage proposal from the most famous spy in the world? A legended white-haired hacker ensconced in an Ecuadorean embassy in deepest, darkest Knightsbridge, apparently pulling invisible strings? A flame-haired ingenue accompanying the leaker around the world and vanishing with him into the mysterious international zone at Moscow's airport? And now, the internet's most famous hacktivist hivemind, banding together to drive his name to the top of Twitter? Check, check, check and check.
The ground rules of a tweetstorm are simple: instead of retweeting the posts, you copy and paste them into your Tweet box, so that they seem to be original to you. Tweetstorms were developed in response to widespread Anonymous frustration that they could get hundreds of retweets but never, ever make it to the Trending list. With copy/pasting, they can. If you can't think of anything to say but want to support the hashtag, they've already gone ahead and made up some tweets; some quotes from Snowden's interviews, some simply statements of support. You're allowed to make your own original tweets in a tweetstorm, the Tweetstorm Police won't throw you off the hashtag, but the concept of repetition is important to the strategy: in marketing they say it takes nine exposures to make an impression, and Anonymous is counting on the power of repetition to get noticed.
What difference that makes to the fate of Edward Snowden, or the American people, remains to be seen. This is far from the last item in Anonymous' bag of tricks.
One of the unintended side-effects of staring too long at a DramaSec op (previously known as Dramz, Flamewars, or Fucking Pointless Internet Drama Put Your Big Girl Panties On And Cut It Out FFS) is the contagion of the Derp Factor.
You have been warned.
Hero. Revolutionary. Soldier. Assassin. Loser.
Guy Fawkes? Or Christopher Jordan Dorner?
"#Dorner killed two civilians. But the State is making it about much more than that. This is a message about social control. #wakeup"
Mainstream media and the general public reacted with understandable consternation to the news that Anonymous, or at least parts of the famously fractious internet hive mind, adopted accused spree killer the now-late Christopher Dorner as a new icon, a rallying point if not a hero. Dorner, a former University football star, LAPD officer and Navy pilot, was on the run from the police and accused of killing three people when he died of a single, allegedly self-administered gunshot as police burned the cabin in which he was hiding to the ground. A million-dollar bounty had been put on his head, and in a contentious move the government authorized the use of drones to locate, if not assassinate, him, one of the first times drones have been used against American citizens on American soil.
"One man's freedom fighter is another man's terrorist."
Jeremy Hammond
Dorner's fame stems not primarily from his actions, but rather from his powerful manifesto shared on Facebook in which he stated his intention to kill as many police officers as he could, in what he said was revenge for institutionalized racism among the LAPD and the way he himself was victimized. His first two claimed victims, however, were guilty of nothing more than being related to an officer who had drawn his ire. Meanwhile, the LAPD seemed like a more-malevolent Keystone Kops, having failed to located Dorner, mistaking two little old ladies for the so-called "Chocolate Rambo" and firing on them.
"Anyone else feel like the safest place to hide from LAPD gun fire is directly behind dorner? @YourAnonNews #Dorner #LAPD"
At first glance, Dorner seems little different from many another political revenge killer, from Andrew Kehoe to George Sodini: above average intelligence, good training, strong work ethic, and a powerful moral center. A man, in short, with every reason to expect success in life, who nonetheless tragically failed at the goal closest to his heart, and snapped as a result. For Dorner, it was a career as an LAPD officer.
For Guy Fawkes, it was bringing about a Catholic revolution in Protestant England by blowing up Parliament.
Unlikely icons for any movement, however splintered and self-contradictory, but it is their very failure which makes them eligible for the role.
"Guy Fawkes, as far as Anon is concerned was chosen because he failed. Fight Club is much closer to Anon's culture. If people wonder whether Anon supports Dorner (no, just the LAPD meltdown) because of Guy Fawkes, G.F. was always a joke. What's clear here: the subtext. Drones, fear, Erin Burnett the shark jumping drone hawk, this is like with Kony: war mind games, the whole lot of it. We cut thru dog and Kony show early on. Same here. Dorner is LAPD's karma. Guy Fawkes a failure."
Hectoring Hegemon
Anonymous' public "face" was once a faceless stick figure cartoon known as Epic Fail Guy, a self-deprecating identifier for 4chan members, a group which at the time largely saw itself as basement dwelling wankers. But awesome basement-dwelling wankers. Anonymous emerged from 4chan, essentially evolving into its internet pranking arm. Not long after his creation, Epic Fail Guy stumbled across a Guy Fawkes mask, put it on, and the rest is history. Truly: English history.
Once OpChanology, the in-person protests against Scientology, was initiated in 2008, Anons needed a way to identify themselves as Anons while hiding their faces, and facelessness of the shiny green morph suit (another 4chan/Anon favorite) was not accessible to many people. The Guy Fawkes mask was chosen because, thanks to the anarchist (originally anti-Thatcherite) movie V for Vendetta, it was both affordable and ubiquitous worldwide. Revolutionary echoes handed down from Fawkes himself added to its appeal, as long as you didn't look at the history too closely; however, the semiotics of the mask were actually directed at Scientology, intended to brand it a failure. Fawkes, after all, had to replace his gunpowder stock when the first stash deteriorated, failed in his attempt to get Spain to invade England or support his revolution, failed at this ultimate attempt to take out Parliament, and at last succeeded in killing himself. Score one for the revolutionary.
Instead of registering as a symbol of "Fail," the heroic/outsider aspects of the mask were taken to heart by the public at large (who had no knowledge of 4chan's history) and ultimately by Anonymous itself, which is not immune to the warm fuzzies given to our cultural icons. It's better to be a lost, noble cause than a basement-dwelling wanker, no?
Remember: Epic Fail Guy = failure. Guy Fawkes = failure. Christopher Dorner?
A colleague and friend of Dorner's was interviewed on KPFA's Hard Knock Radio, and claimed the benefit of small-A anonymity, calling himself "Ben." When asked why, he said, "I have an interest in raising my children. Someone might have an animus against me for speaking the truth, and that's what I don't want to happen." And that is what Chris Dorner was talking about.
A new Facebook manifesto, written by former LAPD officer Joe Jones, has surfaced, and echoes many of the accusations of racism and nepotism that Dorner made. Jones, however, repeatedly stresses that taking lives is not the answer, is never the answer, and is clearly not about to "go rogue." Respect for the rule of law is currently unfashionable, and is insufficiently controversial to make Jones a renegade hero, however much courage was involved in speaking out with honor about dishonorable truths.
Was anyone, ever, willing to put money on Dorner's achieving the goals of his manifesto? To eliminate institutional racism in the United States, to retroactively win his police hearing, to clear his name, and yet to simultaneously die while killing as many LAPD officers as he could? Would he ever have been embraced, even conditionally, if people truly believed that there were any chance of his ultimate success? People prefer dead (or obviously doomed) martyrs to live, inconvenient revolutionaries. They are easier to incorporate into political narratives. They are less likely to repudiate their earlier beliefs.
They are simply more convenient.
Christopher Dorner the man had already passed into legend long before his mountain hideout was surrounded and burned.
"Whatever pre-planned responses you have established for a scenario like me, shelve it. Whatever contingency plan you have, shelve it. Whatever tertiary plan you've created, shelve it. I am a walking exigent circumstance with no OFF or reset button.
The only thing that changes policy and garners attention is death."
Christopher Dorner
"The real story here is that methods of oppression by our corpos are now coming home. From PERF to drones, we. let. it. happen."
Hectoring Hegemons
But when it comes to what Hunter Thompson used to call the shitrain it's always easier to watch a movie than to look in a mirror.
Ever tried to do a simple tarot reading and keep having it come out weird? Yeah, so like that.
Ron is not a Ninja. Ron is, apparently, Asher Wolf. You may wish to get a piece of paper and pen to diagram out this particular post. As always, it gets confusing when the Lamo card is played.
Sorry, Asher, you haven't got a Ninja Trading Card yet like Ron and Lamo and Me.
First on Friday our old pal Ron goes apeshit on me, gloating about getting my articles edited after the fact (I have to find this out from Ron boasting on Twitter about getting the Daily Dot to eat crow? Imagine my joy). Then on Saturday, internet privacy activist and Cryptoparty founder Asher Wolf decides that doxing Barrett Brown's ex-girlfriend is a moral imperative. Why? Because, since Asher can't find any record of her online prior to 2011, she must be a Fed plant.
Let's review that: because someone leaves no tracks online, a leading internet privacy activist decides she is ipso facto an FBI plant.
As part of the pointless #DramaSec (my coinage, thank you, and you may Paypal me five bucks every time you use it if you wish. And why not? Times are tough chez raincoaster lately), Asher publicized a Pastebin someone had made of a Facebook thread in which BB's ex and her friends, including me, basically went "what the actual fuck, Asher?" It's not rocket science; nor is it spywork. It is ludicrous, my friends.
This of course inspired my own Facebook thread, which is reproduced here for fans of pointless, internecine internet drama. Once again, I find myself saying:

hey guys, i was wondering if you knew where i could find even a demo (that doesn't just last 30 days) of a lighting plot program i don't mind the 30 day one but i need to use it in more than thirty days so i could download it later but i don't want to the ones i have been looking at Softplot Stardraw Lighting 2D
Well you can look into MacLux Pro, if you have a mac. It's free completely, but does not do a whole lot. I have it but have not played around with it too much, since I have vectorworks. -dan
hey with a bit of searching i have found one program that is free it is called microlux light http://www.luxart.com/download.htm i am about to download it to see what it's like hope this helps some other people in my position
I used Luxart years ago when it run off DOS (remember DOS kids?). It was a pain back then, but this newer version seems decent enough. its good they've done that.
UPDATE: free lighting plot software hey everyone, i enquried about the software suggested by me and emailed the person who was selling the software and was given a choice buy the program or get it for free and add lights to the database i took one look at the light database they had and said that i would do it i will design the symbles for the lights i am currently adding Selecon (they had none) and then i will move on to adding Strand lighting having been able to sample the software in it's full capacity i belive it is a good buy but if you have the money for Vectorworks i would buy vectorworks i wonder if they need their database updated?
Hello: Vectorworks is a standout product and they, like other higher end programs are constantly updating their databases. Also, Steve Shelly at Lime Light has symbol updates for Vectorworks. What program did you opt for? Good luck, dwt1
Just do what i did Make a template in MS paint of your fixtures and make another template (in MS paint) of your theater. Save a blank copy of your theaater and copy and paste fixtures into your theater template.

TO SPENCER ROANE.mad. mss.Septr. 2; 1819. Dear Sir I have recd. your favor of the 22d Ult1 inclosing a copy of your observations on the Judgment of the Supreme Court of the U. S. in the case of M'Culloch agst. the State of Maryland; and I have found their latitudinary mode of expounding the Constitution, combated in them with the ability and the force which were to be expected. It appears to me as it does to you that the occasion did not call for the general and abstract doctrine interwoven with the decision of the particular case. I have always supposed that the meaning of a law, and for a like reason, of a Constitution, so far as it depends on Judicial interpretation, was to result from a course of particular decisions, and not these from a previous and abstract comment on the subject. The example in this instance tends to reverse the rule and to forego the illustration to be derived from a series of cases actually occurring for adjudication. I could have wished also that the Judges had delivered their opinions seriatim. The case was of such magnitude, in the scope given to it, as to call, if any case could do so, for the views of the subject separately taken by them. This might either by the harmony of their reasoning have produced a greater conviction in the Public mind; or by its discordance have impaired the force of the precedent now ostensibly supported by a unanimous & perfect concurrence in every argument & dictum in the judgment pronounced. But what is of most importance is the high sanction given to a latitude in expounding the Constitution which seems to break down the landmarks intended by a specification of the Powers of Congress, and to substitute for a definite connection between means and ends, a Legislative discretion as to the former to which no practical limit can be assigned. In the great system of Political Economy having for its general object the national welfare, everything is related immediately or remotely to every other thing; and consequently a Power over any one thing, if not limited by some obvious and precise affinity, may amount to a Power over every other. Ends & means may shift their character at the will & according to the ingenuity of the Legislative Body. What is an end in one case may be a means in another; nay in the same case, may be either an end or a means at the Legislative option. The British Parliament in collecting a revenue from the commerce of America found no difficulty in calling it either a tax for the regulation of trade, or a regulation of trade with a view to the tax, as it suited the argument or the policy of the moment. Is there a Legislative power in fact, not expressly prohibited by the Constitution, which might not, according to the doctrine of the Court, be exercised as a means of carrying into effect some specified Power? Does not the Court also relinquish by their doctrine, all controul on the Legislative exercise of unconstitutional powers? According to that doctrine, the expediency & constitutionality of means for carrying into effect a specified Power are convertible terms; and Congress are admitted to be Judges of the expediency. The Court certainly cannot be so; a question, the moment it assumes the character of mere expediency or policy, being evidently beyond the reach of Judicial cognizance. It is true, the Court are disposed to retain a guardianship of the Constitution against legislative encroachments. "Should Congress," say they, "under the pretext of executing its Powers, pass laws for the accomplishment of objects not entrusted to the Government, it would become the painful duty of this Tribunal to say that such an act was not the law of the land." But suppose Congress should, as would doubtless happen, pass unconstitutional laws not to accomplish objects not specified in the Constitution, but the same laws as means expedient, convenient or conducive to the accomplishment of objects entrusted to the Government; by what handle could the Court take hold of the case? We are told that it was the policy of the old Government of France to grant monopolies, such as that of Tobacco, in order to create funds in particular hands from which loans could be made to the Public, adequate capitalists not being formed in that Country in the ordinary course of commerce. Were Congress to grant a like monopoly merely to aggrandize those enjoying it, the Court might consistently say, that this not being an object entrusted to the Governt. the grant was unconstitutional and void. Should Congress however grant the monopoly according to the French policy as a means judged by them to be necessary, expedient or conducive to the borrowing of money, which is an object entrusted to them by the Constitution, it seems clear that the Court, adhering to its doctrine, could not interfere without stepping on Legislative ground, to do which they justly disclaim all pretension. It could not but happen, and was foreseen at the birth of the Constitution, that difficulties and differences of opinion might occasionally arise in expounding terms & phrases necessarily used in such a charter; more especially those which divide legislation between the General & local Governments; and that it might require a regular course of practice to liquidate & settle the meaning of some of them. But it was anticipated I believe by few if any of the friends of the Constitution, that a rule of construction would be introduced as broad & as pliant as what has occurred. And those who recollect, and still more those who shared in what passed in the State Conventions, thro' which the people ratified the Constitution, with respect to the extent of the powers vested in Congress, cannot easily be persuaded that the avowal of such a rule would not have prevented its ratification. It has been the misfortune, if not the reproach, of other nations, that their Govts. have not been freely and deliberately established by themselves. It is the boast of ours that such has been its source and that it can be altered by the same authority only which established it. It is a further boast that a regular mode of making proper alterations has been providently inserted in the Constitution itself. It is anxiously to be wished therefore, that no innovations may take place in other modes, one of which would be a constructive assumption of powers never meant to be granted. If the powers be deficient, the legitimate source of additional ones is always open, and ought to be resorted to. Much of the error in expounding the Constitution has its origin in the use made of the species of sovereignty implied in the nature of Govt. The specified powers vested in Congress, it is said, are sovereign powers, and that as such they carry with them an unlimited discretion as to the means of executing them. It may surely be remarked that a limited Govt. may be limited in its sovereignty as well with respect to the means as to the objects of his powers; and that to give an extent to the former, superseding the limits to the latter, is in effect to convert a limited into an unlimited Govt. There is certainly a reasonable medium between expounding the Constitution with the strictness of a penal law, or other ordinary statute, and expounding it with a laxity which may vary its essential character, and encroach on the local sovereignties with wch. it was meant to be reconcilable. The very existence of these local sovereignties is a controul on the pleas for a constructive amplification of the powers of the General Govt. Within a single State possessing the entire sovereignty, the powers given to the Govt. by the People are understood to extend to all the Acts whether as means or ends required for the welfare of the Community, and falling within the range of just Govt. To withhold from such a Govt. any particular power necessary or useful in itself, would be to deprive the people of the good dependent on its exercise; since the power must be there or not exist at all. In the Govt. of the U. S. the case is obviously different. In establishing that Govt. the people retained other Govts. capable of exercising such necessary and useful powers as were not to be exercised by the General Govt. No necessary presumption therefore arises from the importance of any particular power in itself, that it has been vested in that Govt. because tho' not vested there, it may exist elsewhere, and the exercise of it elsewhere might be preferred by those who alone had a right to make the distribution. The presumption which ought to be indulged is that any improvement of this distribution sufficiently pointed out by experience would not be withheld. Altho' I have confined myself to the single question concerning the rule of interpreting the Constitution, I find that my pen has carried me to a length which would not have been permitted by a recollection that my remarks are merely for an eye to which no aspect of the subject is likely to be new. I hasten therefore to conclude with assurances &c &c.

As big as the Utah win was, and as big as the Knicks win was tonight, now we have another big game. Tomorrow we play the Bucks, who are going to be rested. We will be coming to play on a back to back. We have not done well with the back end of the back to backs this season. The Bucks are 10-15, a 1/2 game worse than our record. We are more than capable of winning now, so this is not the most important game of the season coming up. (and yes, if we win it, then the next one will be the most important game coming up)
We are slowly getting ourselves back into the playoff hunt and tomorrow night will be crucial. We have to make us ground when playing bad teams because the last of the season will be a grueling road challenge for us. We have to get back into contention now, get established, and then hang on during the last month of the regular season. Right now, we are 1 and 1/2 games out of the 8th spot.

Description [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a heat sink for cooling an electronic device mounted to a printed circuit board, and in particular to a surface mounted collector plate which is in direct thermal contact with a CPU. [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art [0004] The current collector plate incorporates features for mounting to a printed circuit board, thermal contact with a CPU and heat spreading, and connection to a heat pipe all in a single part. This requires multiple machining steps and plating on a monolithic part. [0005] Referring to FIGS. 1A and 1B, a CPU 12 is mounted to a PCB 10 which is provided with studs 14 for mounting a heat collector 20 including a mounting plate 25 having tabs 22 and holes 23 for receiving the studs 14. The collector 20 is also provided with parallel ridges 24 defining a central channel 26 which receives a heat pipe 16 connected to a heat dissipator 18 having cooling fins. It is partially filled with liquid which undergoes a cycle of condensation and evaporation between the collector 20 and the heat dissipator 18. The pipe may be received in the channel in a press-fit, or it may be soldered or held by thermally conductive bonding, whereupon a cover plate 28 is soldered or bonded in place to improve heat transfer. The pipe 16 is shown having a closed end, buy may also be part of a conventional cooling loop. [0006]FIGS. 2A to 2C show the steps which are necessary to produce the unitary heat collector 20 and mounting plate 20 according to the prior art. FIG. 2A shows a machined or extruded block of metal 21 having a pair of ridges 24 upstanding from a plate 25 and flanking a central channel 26, and an inset 27 for receiving a cover plate. Whether the block is machined or extruded depends on the material; copper is not as readily extruded as aluminum. The material chosen depends on the desired properties such as cost, weight, thermal conductivity, extrudability, and solderability. The block of FIG. 2A is milled to enlarge the base plate 25 at both ends of the ridges 24 (FIG. 2B) . The plate 25 is then milled to form the tabs 23 and drilled to form the holes (FIG. 2C). [0007]FIG. 3A shows the first step in producing a unitary pin fin type heat sink according to the prior art, wherein a plate 32 having upstanding ribs 33 is extruded. FIG. 3B shows the second step, wherein the ribs are machined or gang-sawed to produce pins 34. As shown in FIG. 3C, the plate is then machined to produce tabs 36, and the tabs are drilled to produce holes 38. [0008] According to the invention, the attachment/alignment features are separated from the thermal features, thereby reducing production costs by eliminating multiple machining steps. The heat collector according to the invention includes two parts, a block to collect heat from a CPU or the like, and a molded or stamped frame that surrounds and locates the block and also provides mounting features such as bosses for screws, bolts, rivets, push-pins or the like. [0009] The invention is based on the realization that the heat collecting and dissipating function is independent of the mounting and locating function, whereby the functions may be assumed by separate parts which are collectively less expensive to manufacture than a single part, which typically requires numerous machining steps. The invention also permits using any number of heat collector configurations with the same mounting plate. [0010] The metal heat collector may be an extrusion, plated (if required) as one part and cut to length. This is preferable for a heat-pipe type heat collector or a fin type heat sink. Pin fin type heat sinks as depicted in the figures require some machining after extrusion. Note that the term �heat collector� as used herein refers to an element which �collects� the heat from a source such as a chip, and either dissipates the heat or transfers it by a pipe or the like to a remote heat dissipator. The term �heat sink� as used herein refers to an element which not only collects the heat, but performs the dissipating function. Thus a heat sink is a species of collector. [0011] The mounting frame may be molded of plastic, thereby eliminating all machining and drilling. Plastic may be molded of metal filled material for EMI shielding. The plastic may be highly heat resistant so that the heat pipe can be soldered to the heat sink after assembly. [0012] The mounting frame may also be stamped and formed of metal, which would not only eliminate machining and drilling, but would also aid in heat dissipation. Similar parts could be made of spring steels and incorporate springs for heat sink attachment to PCB's. Where both parts are metal, several methods including soldering, swaging, staking, brazing, bonding, welding and spot welding can be used to join the parts. [0013] Other objects and features of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is to be understood, however, that the drawings are designed solely for purposes of illustration and not as a definition of the limits of the invention, for which reference should be made to the appended claims. It should be further understood that the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale and that, unless otherwise indicated, they are merely intended to conceptually illustrate the structures and procedures described herein. [0014]FIG. 1A is an exploded perspective of a prior art heat pipe type heat collector assembly and a printed circuit board; [0015]FIG. 1B is a perspective of the prior art heat collector assembly as assembled to a printed circuit board; [0016]FIGS. 2A-2C show manufacturing steps of a prior art heat collector for a heat pipe; [0017]FIGS. 3A-3C show manufacturing steps of a prior art pin fin type heat sink with mounting tabs; [0018]FIG. 4A is an exploded perspective of a two-part heat collector according to the invention; [0019]FIG. 4B is a perspective of an assembled two-part heat collector according to the invention; [0020]FIG. 5 is a perspective of a heat collector having multiple channels for receiving heat pipes; [0021]FIG. 6 is a perspective of a system having a single heat collector connected to multiple heat dissipators; [0022]FIG. 7A is an exploded perspective of a first embodiment of a two part pin fin type heat sink according to the invention; [0023]FIG. 7B is a perspective of an assembled two-part pin fin type heat sink of FIG. 6A; [0024]FIG. 8A is an exploded perspective of a second embodiment of a two part pin fin type heat sink according to the invention; [0025]FIG. 8B is a perspective of an assembled two-part pin fin type heat sink of FIG. 7A; [0026]FIG. 9 is a perspective of a third embodiment of a two-part pin fin type heat sink, as assembled; [0027]FIG. 10 is a perspective of a fourth embodiment of a two-part pin fin type heat sink, as assembled, and [0028]FIG. 11 is a perspective of a fifth embodiment of a two-part pin fin type heat sink, as assembled. [0029] Referring to FIGS. 4A and 4B, the mounting frame 40 is stamped and formed of metal plate such as aluminum and includes mounting tabs 42 having holes 43, a central aperture 44, and retaining tabs 45 formed to extend above a plane containing the mounting tabs 42. The heat collector 50 is profiled for close reception in the central aperture 44 of the mounting frame 40, and has side flanges 53 which bear against retaining tabs 45. Parallel ridges 51 define a channel 52 which receives the heat pipe, the collector 50 preferably being extruded copper in order to facilitate soldering to a copper heat pipe. Note that soldering of the retaining plate 40 to the collector 50 is not necessary, but is possible where both parts are solder-compatible, thereby further improving heat dissipation. [0030]FIG. 5 shows a heat collector having multiple channels 26 for connecting multiple heat pipes to multiple dissipators in applications which require a high heat transfer. Conversely, discrete heat collectors having single channels may be connected to a single heat dissipator 18 by discrete heat pipes 16, as shown in FIG. 6. [0031]FIGS. 7A and 7B show a mounting plate 40 which is substantially identical to the mounting plate in FIGS. 4A and 4B, and may likewise be either molded plastic or stamped and formed metal. Here a pin fin type heat sink 56 is provided with flanges 57 for retention by the retaining tabs 42 of the mounting plate. The heat sink 56 may be manufactured by extruding to form parallel fins, then gang sawing transversely to the fins to form fins 50, as described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,884,331. [0032]FIGS. 8A and 8B show an embodiment similar to that of FIGS. 7A and 7B, wherein the retaining tabs 45 are provided with comb-like spring teeth 46 which fit between columns of pins 58. Where both parts are made of metal, this arrangement can improve thermal contact without solder, whereby one or both of the parts may be aluminum. [0033]FIG. 9 shows an embodiment wherein the mounting plate 40 is formed with upwardly extending retaining tabs 47 which are attached to the heat collector by rivets 48 fitted through holes (not visible) and wedged between pins 58. [0034]FIG. 10 shows an embodiment wherein upwardly extending tabs 48 engage against detents 59 formed on outside rows of pins 58, thereby retaining the heat sink 50 to the mounting plate 40 in a snap-fit. [0035]FIG. 11 shows a pin fin type heat sink 56 having flanges 57 (FIG. 6A) which are held against the underside of a stamped retaining plate 40 which does not have formed tabs. Here the bottom of the heat sink is not flush with the bottom of the mounting plate 40, whereby the mounting plate 40 will be spaced from the PCB when mounted. [0036] Note that other described embodiments having retaining tabs 45 may be designed so the bottom of the heat sink is recessed in the mounting plate, whereby the mounting plate may be mounted flushly against the PCB while a CPU upstanding from the PCB is flush against the bottom of the heat sink. [0037] Thus, while there have shown and described and pointed out fundamental novel features of the invention as applied to a preferred embodiment thereof, it will be understood that various omissions and substitutions and changes in the form and details of the devices illustrated, and in their operation, may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the invention. For example, it is expressly intended that all combinations of those elements and/or method steps which perform substantially the same function in substantially the same way to achieve the same results are within the scope of the invention. Moreover, it should be recognized that structures and/or elements and/or method steps shown and/or described in connection with any disclosed form or embodiment of the invention may be incorporated in any other disclosed or described or suggested form or embodiment as a general matter of design choice. It is the intention, therefore, to be limited only as indicated by the scope of the claims appended hereto. Referenced by

Competitive pricing, timely shipping, friendly phone support. I look fwd to placing my 3rd order just as soon as the need arises. Kudos, Geeks...
I ordered replacement windshield wipers for my Volkswagen GTI. The price was much better than local auto parts stores, and my parts arrived two days later in their original packaging and protected by bubble-wrap. What can I say? It was a simple order but they nailed it. It was my first time ordering from Parts Geek and I would definitely do it again.

The γ Secretase Antibody Sampler Kit provides an economical means of evaluating components of the gamma secretase complex. The kit contains enough primary and secondary antibodies to perform four western miniblot experiments.
Specificity / Sensitivity
Presenilin 1 (D39D1) Rabbit mAb recognizes endogenous levels of total Presenilin 1 protein. The antibody may detect a nonspecific band at 60 kDa. Presenilin 2 Antibody detects endogenous levels of the carboxy-terminal fragment of Presenilin 2 (23 kDa) and the full length protein (54 kDa) to a lesser extent. It does not cross-react with endogenous levels of presenilin 1. Nicastrin (D38F9) Rabbit mAb recognizes endogenous levels of total Nicastrin protein. PEN2 Antibody detects endogenous levels of total PEN2 protein.
Source / Purification
Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with: a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Ser330 of human Presenilin 2 or a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Lys11 of human PEN2 protein. Polyclonal antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography. Monoclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with: a recombinant protein specific to the carboxy terminus of human Presenilin 1 protein or a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Val390 of human Nicastrin protein.
The γ secretase protease complex interacts with and cleaves intramembrane substrates as an essential function for regulation of intracellular signaling and cell-cell interactions. This multiprotein complex is comprised of four integral membrane proteins, Presenilin, Nicastrin, Aph-1, and PEN2, all of which are essential for complete proteolytic activity (1). Presenilin 1 and presenilin 2 are transmembrane proteins belonging to the presenilin family. Mutation of presenilin genes has been linked to early onset of Alzheimer disease, probably due to presenilin's associated γ-secretase activity for amyloid-β protein processing (2,3). Endogenous presenilin mainly exists in a heterodimeric complex formed from the endoproteolytically processed amino-terminal (34 kDa) and carboxy-terminal (~20, 22, 23 kDa) fragments (CTF) (3,4). Nicastrin is a transmembrane glycoprotein serving as an essential component of the γ-secretase complex (5,6). Nicastrin protein is physically associated with presenilin and plays an important role in stabilization and correct localization of presenilin to the membrane-bound γ-secretase complex (7). Nicastrin also serves as a docking site for γ-secretase substrates such as APP and Notch, directly binding to them and presenting them properly to γ-secretase to ensure the correct cleavage process (6,8). Presenilin Enhancer 2 (PEN2) is a small integral membrane glycoprotein that contains two recognized transmembrane domains. Both the N- and C-terminal domains are oriented into the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum (9). PEN2 is an important part of the γ-secretase complex as its knock down results in reduced amounts of the complex, resulting in a loss of γ-secretase activity (10).

Apple apologizes, reveals 600,000 first-day iPhone 4 pre-orders
Apple has issued a statement regarding iPhone 4 pre-orders, revealing that the company and its carrier partners took pre-orders for more than 600,000 iPhone 4 units. Calling it "the largest number of pre-orders Apple has ever taken in a single day," the company said the response was "far higher than we anticipated, resulting in many order and approval system malfunctions." In the release, Apple admits that "[m]any customers were turned away or abandoned the process in frustration," and says it apologizes "to everyone who encountered difficulties, and hope that they will try again or visit an Apple or carrier store once the iPhone 4 is in stock."

I think Apple should include a free Bumper case for these pre-orders yesterday and today for all the inconvenience… but they won't.

No information about the absence of white iPhones?

@1, was it really that bad that you need free stuff? I mean come on.
Posted by sting7k on June 16, 2010 at 10:46 AM (PST)
@1 - The people who got their pre-orders in aren't the ones who need the apology. It's the people who tried and tried in vain and never got through—and are now looking at mid-July for receiving their iPhones.
Those are the people who deserve an apology for the "inconvenience."

Oh yes, you POOR victims of Apple.
Apologize, freebies, wah wah wah.
No wonder people hate Apple users.
You embarrass us all.

Actually, I am a poor victim of Apple.
I just overpaid for an iPhone!
... happy?

Good Afternoon,
I am trying to find some information about my uncle who, according to his marker in the Ardennes American Cemetery, was a part of the 12 Infantry 4th Division in WWII. A friend suggested I get in touch with you and see if you have any resources that may help me research his time in the war. Any information you can share will be greatly appreciated.
Carlton C English
From Bedford Va.
DOD reported as Nov. 16, 1944
Thank you
I joined the company in October, 1969. Just in time to head out to Plei Mrong. I was wounded in an ambush there on Oct. 19th. Would love to hear from anyone in the company. Especially from my platoon. Sgt. Spence was my squad leader.
If any of you are still breathing, have a great memorial day! "COSMO" you gave all, and will never be forgotten.
I was the platoon leader for 3rd plt Co A 2/8 . Cpt Sprout was the CO for a few months then Cpt Harvey took command. I was wounded at the Oasis and medivaced out . The unit was just about to go mech when I was wounded. Sure would like to hear from anyone who remembers me.
getting old, so hurry up
bless you all

That was our 43rd straight Nat'l Reunion we have attended. since 1970.I will be 90 on Monday so still plan to be in Lexington, Ky next Sept.if all goes well, Fourthfully Wayne and Jerry Brown
Every year, the reunion is marvelous. This year exceeded all the others. The camaraderie I experience sustains me throughout the year. I consider myself profoundly fortunate to be a member of the National Fourth Infantry Division Association. May God bless all our soldiers, past and present, and their families.
Just found this web site today 7/28/13 , would like to email or tx or talk to any who were there when I was and might know me . WELCOME HOME MY BROTHERS !
I am an exhibit builder and consultant with the Jacksonville Museum of Military History, Jacksonville, Arkansas. I am enhancing our D-Day exhibit for the 70th anniversary next 6 June. I am trying to find pictures of a 4th ID soldier that landed on D-Day. Rank, whether or not the soldier survived is unimportant as long as he was from Arkansas. If anyone can help me with this, please e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com. We want to honor all the men that participated with our overall exhibit, but want to focus on an Arkansan. Thank you, Robert
Hi Does anyone know the name of Grant Jackson's Company that was selling merchandise at the reunion this year I'm trying to get A hold of him to see if he still has 1/10 cav ballmarkers but I can't remember there Company name they were out of Chicago, Illinois thanks Wally
Thanks to all the hard working members of the Carolina Chapter for planning and managing a great reunion. It was an excellent location for the reunion.
Andrea and I had a wonderful time and are already looking forward to next year in Lexington, Kentucky.
A special thanks to Mr. Gerry Howard and all the others who made the 4th Infantry Division Memorial Monument at the Infantry Museum "Walk of Honor" a reality. This is a world class Monument that we should all be very proud of.
You Are All Great Americans. Can Do.
A great Reunion, many thanks to the Carolina's chapter for all your hard work! You really went all out to insure that all of us had everything we needed.
Thank you to the Association for honoring Bruce and myself. It was quite a surprise and a very humbling experience.
And a really special experience when the guys from Bruce's unit in Vietnam (D/22nd Inf) showed up in person for their special reunion--hadn't seen each other in 40+ years. AWESOME!
Great to meet our current MOHR Clint Romesha and his beautiful wife Tammy. They are very special people and we hope to see a lot more of them in the future. If you missed this Reunion we missed you. Know some who were planning to be there but circumstances prevented it. Hope to see you next year. STEADFAST AND LOYAL!
What a great reunion! Thanks to all the hard working people who helped make it a great time for all.

We look forward to seeing you and you won't be disappointed.

Gender Balance and Book Reviewing: A New Survey Renews the Debate
By PATRICIA COHENWhy do magazines and periodicals review many more books written by men than women, and choose many more men than women to review them?
That ongoing debate was re-energized by a survey of major publications' 2010 records that was posted online last week by the grassroots women's literary group VIDA. The most lopsided male-to-female ratio belonged to one of the most influential literary publications, The New York Review of Books, with a tally of 462 male bylines to 79 female, a nearly 6-to-1 ratio. The Atlantic published many more male bylines than female (154 vs. 55), but it reviewed more books by women than men (19 to 13). The New Yorker reviewed 36 books by men and nine by women, while Harpers reviewed more than twice as many books by men as by women. You get the idea.
We should add that The New York Times Book Review had the most gender-balanced record over all — a byline ratio of 1.5 men to 1 woman (438 compared to 295) and an authors-reviewed ratio of 1.9 to 1 (524 compared to 283).
What the numbers don't explain is whether men write more books (and book proposals) than women or whether they more frequently and aggressively ask magazine editors for assignments. Read more…

How To Launch A Boat
Posted by ssproair on Dec. 10, 2010
Posted by ssproair on Dec. 10, 2010
if it ain't broke don't fix it! ship launching like that has worked for a very long time
How do you expect them to improve on launching boats break? Pick them up and carry them to the water?
why do ppl say there she goes. its now like they cant see a big fuuckin boat flying sideways into the ocean
the one of the noaa boat looks like it was launched at a yard the company i work for owns
Its not the only way...the other way is to build it in dry dock, then fill the chamber up with water when its completed. This is simply the old school badass way.
clearly break is out of touch with what their viewers want. successful boat launches? are you kidding us, break? let us viewers know when one of these boat launches fail. in the meantime, stop posting crap like this.
this video has been on youtube for years, its amazing that someone slaps a break sign on it and uploads it here to get paid...
Does that work every time? Looks like it probably shouldn't and that there would be a better way. Do they do that with the really huge ones also?
i WONDER IF THERE ARE ANY PEOPLE ON THE SHIPS WHEN THEY ARE LAUCHED. OOPS............left the cap locks on. My bad.
No. The really huge ones they build in warm and fuzzy hangars and lift them in anti-gravitational field to place them gently to the water.
they have to launch it that way so the balance weights in the ship even out when getting dropped

Our Top Seven Picks for This Weekend's Berlin & Beyond Film Fest
Ah Germany, the land of Beer and Techno. I've always been a fan of Germany's cultural output but I never saw what happened this year coming–Berlin has drawn nearly as many of my friends away from me as has New York, and I've increasingly found myself attempting to slot a trip to the city into my schedule. Not an easy task for someone who works mostly in non-profit film. The closest I'll probably get this year is a slew of trips to Public Works and the Berlin and Beyond Film Festival, which runs this weekend into next week at the Castro.
On Location: "The Room"
Welcome to "On Location," a micro-feature taking you to little-known cinematic locations of SF and taking a look at the films shot in the city by the bay over the years.
The First Ever Philip K. Dick Festival Blows Through Town This Weekend
"Does everyone here love Dick?"
"Are you here because you're a Dick Head?"
"Who's a Dick Head?"
"We are!"
"I can't hear you!"
No, I'm not preparing my carnival barker routine for the Folsom Street Fair this Saturday–in my head, that's how the opening remarks will go down at this weekend's first-ever Philip K. Dick Festival, where PKD scholars from all over the country will gather to discuss the "Ubik" author's life and lasting contributions to science fiction (and science fact).
Get Ready, Film Festival Season Starts NOW
Whether you're too busy to notice it or swimming in too many invitations to see the forest for the trees, an invisible war for your attention (and cash) is being waged in theaters, art spaces and non-profits around the Bay; the fall film festival season has officially begun. Save a real war, few things could be less rewarding or more dangerous to head into blind than a film festival. Here's a primer on some of September's strong contenders so you don't get caught in an ambush.
On Location: Michael Douglas in "The Game"
Welcome to "On Location," a micro-feature taking you to little-known cinematic locations of SF and taking a look at the films shot in the city by the bay over the years.
Seven Films to Fall in Love with at the SF Shorts Festival
This year marks the 7th anniversary of the SF Shorts Film Fest–but you won't see that anywhere on their calendar, program, or in their literature. Like the films within, the festival is almost mercilessly direct in its presentation, from the jaunty pink poster of a cute charicature atop film cannisters apparently planning his suicide (pictographically reminding us that "life is short"), to the unvarnished program listings that cut directly to the films, dispensing with the now-ubiquitous art world priming of "programmer's notes" or "curator's statement."
Classic Woody Allen Sightings
Since Woody Allen touched down in the city to begin filming his as-yet-untitled WASP project, San Francisco is in the grips of Woody Allen mania.

Seven Small Rooms to See Big Movies in this Weekend
It's not a big news week here in San Francisco: The Guardian is writing about weed again, and the Weekly's cover story is about a disaster that happened in 1900. With everyone's eyes still rolling from Outside Lands and the weather moving from cloudy to …partly cloudy, who can blame you for wanting to take it easy? Unfortunately, movie distribs are also taking it easy and the new releases really aren't much to look at. As Colonel Kurtz might have said: When the dominating culture doesn't satisfy, the best thing to do is go native. Here are 7 films worth catching in the smaller rooms around town during this mini-movie-drought.

Kerry Magro was diagnosed with Pervasive Developmental Disorder-Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS) at age 4. Growing up, he dealt with many difficulties in regards to sensory integration, motor problems, overall social interaction and communication delays. After being re-diagnosed at 6, Kerry's future was very uncertain.
Today however, after countless hours of therapy and the support of a loving family, Kerry has conquered many of his challenges. Now 24 years old, he is a graduate student in Strategic Communications and Leadership at Seton Hall University. Along with being a full-time student, Kerry is also the co-host of Autism Radio: Hope Saves The Day, a life coach, motivational speaker, and writes a personal blog called My Autism My Voice, and an aspiring author.
Kerry has also become a tireless advocate for students with disabilities around the state and nationally. He has appeared on Emmy-winner Steve Adubato's Caucus Education Show, "One-on-One with Steve Adubato," writes a blog for Autism Speaks, has been published in the San Francisco Chronicle, and served as an advisor on the movie Joyful Noise starring Queen Latifah and Dolly Parton. Kerry recently met Senator Robert Menendez to discuss the reauthorization of The Combating Autism Act. For his efforts, last summer Kerry received the 2011 Outstanding Individual with Autism Award from the Autism Society of America.
In the coming months, Kerry hopes to complete his first book, based on his college experience. He is also in the process of launching a nonprofit KFM Making a Difference in The Community.
Note: Kerry's book was originally titled, "College on the Spectrum: A Guide to Surviving College with A Disability." The title will be changed as it coincides with a trademarked entity.
Self-advocacy can be very interesting. It's given me the ability to advocate for a cause that is very close to me on a personal level.
Last week I had the opportunity to attend the 44th Annual Autism Society Conference in Pittsburgh.
One of the biggest days of my life is almost here! Next week I can finally say I'm an author.
Today a first of its kind event called "Autism Pride Week" is concluding in North Carolina.
I've mentioned in other posts about my passion for theater and with that, my love for a great number of movies and plays.
Dani Bowman, an 18-year-old on the autism spectrum, is an illustrator, animator, writer, motivational speaker and author.
The future creeps up on you when you're busy doing other things. Deadlines and decisions come jumping at you just when you start to relax.
Last week, Cameron had an interview with the director of a postsecondary program we are considering. The interview was done via Skype.
Brad Fremmerlind, a 25-year-old man in Edmonton, Alberta, has been making headlines with his furniture-assembly business, Made by Brad.
Being a self-advocate in the autism community for the past several years has definitely had a few perks here and there.
Last night I had a dream that found me raging through my childhood home. For some reason, I was very angry with my family.

User Review: Big Agnes Big House 6
Sleeps: 5
Ease of Setup: easy with 2 people ok with 1
Weight: 14lbs
Price Paid: $329
This is a great tent. Me and my family have used it three times and it has been a good choice. Big Agnes has done a good job sealing all the seams because not a drop of water got inside. Good venting. Easy set up. Good in the wind if you stake it down correctly.
I would suggest getting the added vestibule because it is a good place to keep your coolers and other supplies in the shade. the vestibule is not as big as the pic but still good size. Sleeps 5 comfortably. Really a good family tent.
