St. Louie Here We ARE!!!!
... pleasantries and asked where ya'll were from. I went on to explain that we were touring ballparks and had just left KC and headed to St. Louis. She smiled and said, "I beg your pardon" So I said, we are on vaycayshun. She said, "oh, that's nice, enjoy!". LOL. WE got out to the car and Bryan said, "you talk to fast, she had no idea what you were saying". Giddyup!

Afternoon in St Louis
... was to arrive on the riverfront in St Louis before 12 noon and take a bus tour of St Louis which I did. The bus tour lasted 1 1/2 hrs and showed a lot of the attractions/museums/history etc and was good value for the money. A lot of the museums, attractions and the Zoo are free of charge to get in. If one was to come to St Louis to sightsee one would need at least a week. After I went over to see the Gateway Arch ...
Trip up the St. Louis Arch
... took our 2-3 min ride to the top and got out.
At the top Mel was able to get some really neat pictures of St. Louis with the arch's shadow over it. After about 10 min Mel was ready to go down, because at the top of the 630 foot high arch on a windy day it kind of feels like be on a small boat on a choppy lake. The difference is of coarse in this scenario you can see that you have 630 feet to fall. So we came down in car 1. This time ...

The Toys singles chronology | ||||
"A Lover's Concerto" is a pop song, written by American songwriters Sandy Linzer and Denny Randell and recorded in 1965 by The Toys.[1]
Their original version of the song was a major hit in the United States, the UK and elsewhere during 1965. It peaked on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart at number 2,[2] and both reached number 1 on the US Cashbox chart, (Billboard 's main competitor) and in Canada on the RPM national singles chart. It peaked at number 5 in the UK Singles Chart.[3] "A Lover's Concerto" sold more than two million copies and was awarded gold record certification by the R.I.A.A..[4]
Critic Dave Thompson wrote, "Few records are this perfect. Riding across one of the most deceptively hook-laden melodies ever conceived ... 'A Lover's Concerto' marks the apogee of the Girl Group sound."[2] The song also had an unusual structure that blurred the differences between its verses and choruses.[2]
The lyrics begin with:
- How gentle is the rain
- That falls softly on the meadow,
- Birds high up in the trees
- Serenade the flowers with their melodies
Linzer and Randell based the melody on the familiar "Minuet in G major" (BWV Anh. 114) from J.S. Bach's Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach.[2] One key difference is that the "Minuet in G major" is written in 3/4 time, whereas "A Lover's Concerto" is arranged in 4/4 time. Although often attributed to Bach himself, the "Minuet in G major" is now believed to have been written by Christian Petzold.[5][6][7]
In subsequent years, "A Lover's Concerto" has been recorded by numerous other notable artists, including Cilla Black, Kelly Chen, the Delfonics, the Fleetwoods, Audrey Hall, Doyle Lawson, the Lennon Sisters, Mrs. Elva Miller, the Peanuts, the Pearls, Perrey and Kingsley, the Supremes, Carla Thomas, Tight Fit, Leslie Uggams, and Sarah Vaughan. Karina rendered the song in Spanish as "Concierto para enamorados" in 1966: that same year Alma Cogan made a German translation "So Fängt Es Immer An". Also Kai Lind (fi) recorded the Finnish rendering named "Aamukonsertto". It was also covered in Japanese by the group SA under the title "Delight". The American singer Neil Sedaka recorded an Italian version, "Lettera Bruciata".
"A Lover's Concerto" was used in the 1995 film Mr. Holland's Opus, in which the title character builds a lesson around comparing it with the original minuet, in order to help his students gain an appreciation of classical music.[citation needed] The song is also featured, as a duet between a cello and a computer, in the 1984 film, Electric Dreams.[citation needed]

Is Facebook's Change Your Own Damn Fault?
It's good to see people talking about Facebook's dissolution of the privacy walls its members were accustomed to. With any active discussion you get disagreement, but I wasn't ready to see sentiments suggesting that people deserve embarrassing exposure because they made the mistake of trusting Facebook, or any web service for that matter.
Chris Pirillo, long standing web citizen, really surprised me with this tweet today:
How to protect your privacy online. Step 1: STOP SHARING SHIT YOU DON'T WANT THE WORLD TO DISCOVER. Step 2: See Step 1.
Is this where we're at? That trust in the way a service behaves has no place on online? Chris isn't the first person to express the sentiment that those feeling exposed are authors of their own misery. In performative terms, yes, they are the ones who posted compromising information. Or their friends did it for them thinking it wouldn't be shared. But that guideline doesn't cover that case. So let's over-simplify it and pretend they posted everything themselves.
Since Chris put it as bluntly as I've seen it, and I have a hard time believing he advocates blaming the victims, I'll use his tweet as a springboard to explore that idea.
The heart of my beef is that Facebook established a level of privacy between members, then changed it without warning and made it hard for a lot of people to understand. It's not that networks can't leak things that we'd rather keep among friends or family, but I reject that we should agree to give up privacy, at random, in exchange for being online.
This online stuff can be kind of abstract, so how about some examples to show how this attitude plays out in contexts beyond Facebook:
- Example 1: DropBox allows you to share some folders with selected people. What if they change that and expose all your files to the people you shared something with, or just everything with everyone. Is that my fault?
Or let's take it offline:
- Example 2: You and I have a conversation that you ask to keep private, and I agree. What if I change my mind, and share not only that conversation but all others we've ever had. Is that your fault?
Let's not even bother with the obvious problems in the contexts of online banking or asking a doctor for advice from a remote location. By the logic of Chris's tweet, and I am picking on him here, it's your fault if your finances and medical problems are disclosed to the world, because you didn't "See Step 1."
But let's take it even further. Food services are built on trust. I can walk into any number of restaurants, world-wide, and expect not to be poisoned. I place critical, existential trust in people I never meet every time I dine out. Can you imagine the tweet?
How to not get poisoned in restaurants. Step 1: STOP EATING FOOD YOU DIDN'T GROW AND MAKE YOURSELF. Step 2: See Step 1.
See? It's your fault because you didn't carry your Personal Food Tester kit to the pizzeria. Let's take it one more step, and say that if I don't know how to defend myself when walking down the street that anyone should be able to beat me up, because I naively trusted the social contract.
Wow! How did we get here from a silly little privacy change?
Because it's not little. The web is becoming an essential part of daily life in the first world, and the same expectations of trust in a business and the expectation of responsible behaviour need to apply if that is to succeed. Otherwise we'll have a machine on our hands that burns anyone who doesn't handle it from a default position of paranoid distrust, and a mob of Browncoats who are there to blame them for not knowing better.
Does that sound like the web we want to live with? Not to me.
Leave a Comment
I'm the last person who would ever chalk something up to user error, but I'd also go as far as to say that oversharing has become the norm – not the exception. People often forget that they're putting "stuff" out there, damning the consequences.
It's simple: if you don't want something online, don't put it online. Facebook has nothing to do with your personal responsibility. Just as you have a choice on whether or not to eat food at a restaurant, you also have a choice whether or not to post something online.
"Personal responsibility" is the key phrase, there.
[Thank you for the cogent discussion.]
I agree with you wholeheartedly. I think that we as IT people need to really lead in this situation. You and your friends in IT are the first line of defence in situations regarding computers and technology that your friends and family rely on for advice whether we like it or not. They do not know any better and would rather care less to learn about security or privacy. That is why we need to be sounding the alarms when sites or companies purposely deceive their users for monetary gain. I think of my Mom, sister and other friends who have absolutely no clue what has changed. All they want is to be able to communicate easily.
A lot of people will stay with FB until another site comes along. We as IT should be guiding them on that path not blaming them for not knowing any better. -
I agree that we can't prevent a company from changing the rules, and retroactively exposing our data to the world. I don't believe that it is the users' fault, although I am disgusted with the level of trust placed in a company whose purpose is to make a profit, at our expense.
I think that given these types of post facto privacy changes, Facebook has violated the contract with its users, and should be punished for that violation. Since the only effective punishment would be a boycott, I propose that we pick a date, advertise it widely, and cancel our accounts on that date, should facebook not correct their privacy failures by that time.

Thanks for stopping by to comment, Chris.
I think I get what you're saying, but can't agree that everything begins and ends with what you're calling personal responsibility. When we enter into social agreements, like using a web service or eating at a restaurant, there's also responsibility to the agreement. Restaurants can't be let off the hook for food poisoning because someone chose to eat there, and nor should Facebook be let off the hook for going back on the privacy promises that people posted their data under. If we just lean on a mantra of 'personal responsibility' then we end up with it only running one way, towards the victim, and never towards the perp.
In the end, the network has the capability of privacy, and it needs to have that capability in some contexts. Saying that it's my fault if my online medical records or credit card number leak out because I entered the data or gave consent under a premise of privacy just doesn't cut it in the real world or online.
I like Josh's idea of a mass protest, and ironically Facebook has been good at providing features to coordinate such things. For me, I deleted my account a couple weeks ago, as I don't see any prospect for meaningful change in FB's behaviour. It's also harder to get a lot of people cancelling at once, as many feel they need to be there.
Maybe a good protest would be for participants to change their profile photo to one of their back turned, taking the face outta facebook for a day or more to show their unhappiness with the new policy and how it's been implemented.

ESPN Adds Mangini And Woody To NFL Coverage
A former coach that Browns fans called "Mangina" and a former player with a last named of Woody. Somehow I veered away from an immature title to this article and played it straight.
Every year ESPN reshuffles their lineup of analysts covering a sport and this year have added former Jets and Browns coach Eric Mangini as well and former Jet's lineman Damien Woody. ESPN had this to say in regards to Mangini's particular role.
"He will appear on "NFL Live," "SportsCenter," "First Take" and other programs throughout the year and also will contribute analysis on ESPN Radio and other platforms. He is scheduled to start Aug. 17."
Woody will apparently have a similar beat although will not do radio and will spend some time on ESPN News as well.
ESPN has increasingly shown preference to adding recently removed head coaches as guys like Herm Edwards and Jon Gruden have been well received by viewers. Mangini's addition will give ESPN a second former coach as a studio analyst with Gruden mostly utilized on Monday Night Football.
Woody's addition had been speculated for awhile, even by himself when interviewed by the NFL Live crew last week in regards to the new CBA and if he'd play another year or would be wearing a suit as an analyst.
Woody follows the path of dozens of former athletes who do a hybrid announcement of a retirement and new career. Like many athletes who move to broadcasting, Woody likely might have had some twilight years ahead of him but instead opted for a coveted job at ESPN. Most guys prefer the security of finding a new job and staying engaged with the sport they love, but as we've seen with Tiki Barber, there seems to be some level of regret as players abruptly put an end to their careers.
I haven't seen much of either Mangini or Woody on camera so it remains to be seen what to expect from these guys in their rookie years at Bristol. It's also interesting we haven't heard too much about departures from ESPN'S NFL team, thus there is some intrigue as to just how they'll make room or reduce others roles on camera.
Also interesting is that Woody hasn't necessarily been the biggest fan of Mangini saying this about his former head coach upon the arrival of Rex Ryan.
"Here I am 31 years old, I've got my own kids, and I'm married, and here's someone that's not that much older than me -- or whatever the case may be -- telling me what I can and can't do," Woody said. "It's so regimented where the game is just not a game anymore. It's not fun. Even when you win it's not fun."
On another note, the media really loves guy from the AFC/NFC East and AL/NL East. Rodney Harrison, Woody, Mangini, Darren Woodson, Michael Irvin, Emmitt Smith, Troy Aikman, Tiki Barber, Phil Simms, Aaron Boone, Normar, Curt Schilling, Steve Phillips, John Kruk, David Justice, Doug Glanville, Bobby Valentine, Larry Bowa, Tino Martinez, and Buck Martinez. Lots of those guys are gone now but sheesh that's a lot of names. Who says there's an East Coast bias...

We LOVED the beach and the beautiful temperature! Wow, wall to wall sun,,, Wonderful!!!!! Regarding the hotel, we had several annoyances ... Arrived at our hotel room with 7 hours of delay (Air Cubana sent us waiting at the Havana airport for 6 hours ..!! Then we bring in Santa Clara, which took flight only 30 min ... why? was never known anything) we arrived at our room with the hope to cool off with a good shower ... broken shower ... water splashing around ... and two single beds not able to stick together ... a dozen spiders on the walls ... we ask to change rooms ... they give us the keys to a room already occupied ... you. recalled for advise them and tell them that we had a successful repair the shower while we stay in our room ... at night .. someone walks into our room the hotel manager called us at night ... we is explained, it gives us an appointment the next day am to meet him because he is very sorry ... we go in the morning, it is absent for the day .. finally seen the day after, it gives us another room ... here we go ... that it occupied too!! we return to see him ... then we got another room .. not busy! phew! not very fun! In any case, we were not impressed ... it has not done too many cases, because we had already lost several hours of our vacation ... but let's say we wrote commentaries on the evaluation. Hope it corrects itself .. the hotel is very beautiful, but it is neglected, especially at the household level, windows dirty, torn sofa cushions .. etc. .. it's a shame.
Positive :

I live in Denver, but I've also lived in 7 other states, and I do think that Denver has a vague accent, though it's not very noticeable.

Shibuya is Our Playfield! -UEI's Reality Game, "Crimsonfox"-
March 14, 2010
As one of UEI's AR (Alternative Reality) experiments, we hold a reality game, "Crimsonfox – Find the Codes Hidden in Real City" on the 13th March 2010.
In the Crimsonfox, players search for and collect the codes with iPhone to find the goal. The players becomes detectives, Crimsonfox, and search for the codes to find the hideout of the secret society, "Moonlights". Both codes and the hideout are hidden in real city, this time in Shibuya. Players use the app "Shibuya scanner", developed by Mr Kondo. When the app is launched, the places of codes are indicated in camera overlay view. The app can show the direction and length to the place by getting the GPS information and using the build-in compass of the iPhone.
The codes are indicated in red, and the sky blue one is the goal. The goal will shown after the player got a certain points. Although, the places are shown on the iPhone, the information of GPS is not precise. So, clues are also given to find the codes. For example, if a code is hidden under the planter in front of a restaurant, the clue says, "Check the wooden bowl in front of a house to eat lunch."
Clues and GPS information will let players find the hidden codes like this. When players read the code with the Shibuya Scanner, the moon emblem will shown as the proof that the player got the code successfully.
Players will get points as they collect the codes. Players can end the game when they read the final code in the goal. They got the raffles according to the points they got during the game. The special present was iPad (Ryo will get it in America and we'll send it to the player who got the prize as soon as we've got it)!!
Role playing games can provide players with another world. We thought that it would be more interesting and exciting if the players can experience the game actually in their world. The role of games, I think, is to make the life more interesting, not to isolate the players from their real world. So, "AR" for the Crimsonfox has double meaning. One is the "augmented reality" that let you know the information you cannot see or know in usual life. The other is the "alternative reality" which provide you with another or more possibility of experience.
Originally, this event was planned as the spin-off project of Japanese government, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. Recently, the Internet is well developed and becomes popular. People get the information of the city in advance and go directly to the shop or place. Less people walk around the city without special aim. Even Shibuya is such city. Some places or buildings are really popular, like the shop building, 109, or meeting point, Hachi-ko stature. But people don't go to or search for the places voluntarily except such popular places.
To make such stagnancy of the city recover, this game was suitable. We set the codes not only center but also outside or minor streets of Shibuya. The event was took place from the noon and 7 pm. So player will visit the places which they don't go or know through their usual life. Also, they have much time to visit and enter the places actually, because to complete the game itself takes one or two hours.
Following "#crimsonfox" on Twitter, we could know that players enjoyed the game and they actually go to the restaurants or shops during the game or after the game! Game lovers, couples, families, more people played the game than we expected. The total number of the players was over 200!
The event programms for the event were broadcasted through "Nico-nico Namahousou" (live broadcasting) twice during the day. The first was the introduction of the event by Toshiro Fukuoka (Ascii Media Works) and Ryo. We could invite the special guest, Kenji Kamiyama, the director of the animation movie, "Eden of the East, the Movie Ⅱ -Paradise Lost-". The movie was shown the first time in Shibuya on that day, so we could meet him and he favourably come to our programme.
The next one was broadcasted in the afternoon of the day. We invited Satoshi Endo (Ascii Media Works) as the MC and Mikiya Kato (The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry) as a commentator. The programme was relay broadcasting of model playing of the Crimsonfox. Kohei Suzuki was the player.
The total viewer of morning and evening programmes reached over 7000! We could read many buzz in the twitter too.
We could hold this event thanks to the help and cooperation of many many companies and friends. The image recognition system use in Shibuya Scanner was developed by Koozyt. The KART system was the necessary to develop the app. Though usually there is not the license for the system, they agreed our plan and favorably lend it to us on the day when we visited their office!
We cannot say much thanks to the everyone who helped us. Although, organizing this event was really tough task, we were really happy to see the players' smiles and to hear that they enjoyed the game. Our project of the reality game was just started. We'd like to produce more interesting and exciting reality game in the future to see people's smile

MONTBLANC Pen for iPhone/iPod touch
August 22, 2009
Hello, we haven't seen you for ages, but under our silence, we are creating some new apps.
Do you remember that I mentioned the sister of iShodo, the app of MONTBLANC's fountain pen? To tell the truth, it has already been released in Japan. So, today, I will introduce more detail of the app.
Just tap "WRITE NOW" and write anything you want on the sheet!
If you tap on the left edge of the screen, you can select the boldness of line: EF (thin), F(middle), and M(bold).
Also, by tapping right edge, 4 ink pods will show up. 4 colours are available: Royal blue, Blue-black, violet, and Bordeaux.
Of course, your work can be saved in your photo library and be sent to your Twitter account with your comment.
This application is the first official application of Montblanc and is designed for its longtime support to the children aid organisation, UNICEF. The model of this is a traditional and well-known fountain pen of Montblanc, Meisterstu"ck, loved by many people since its first appearance in 1924.
This is FREE app, but we contribute 1 yen to UNICEF according to the number of download (total in December 2009)of this application.
Your download will be contribution to the UNICEF!
Oh, but sorry users overseas… I know that some readers of this blog are really interested in this app, but currently, it is available only in Japan. It will be released at the AppStore around the world bofore so long. Sorry but thank you for your understanidng.
See you soon.
MONTBLANC × iShodo = New App
July 9, 2009
Hi everyone,
Regarding our goal to create alternative stationary for future, that does not mean to eliminate traditional ones. What we try to do is to renovate them for future style, so iPhone app is the new way for the renovation…
iShodo was born in December and have been loved by many users since its released. We are really happy our app is loved by many users. Regarding the app, her sister was born!!!
She is s fountain pen application. As for fountain pens, many people would use the fountain pens by MONTBLANC. The company is one of the most famous stationary makers in the world, and the new application was created in collaboration with the company! The same technology as iShodo is applied to her to realize the reality of the way to write with a fountain pen.
The baby's face is now open to the pubic at Mitsukoshi in Nihonbashi, Japan. I put some pictures of her on this post. She will stand with her feet and start to walk before so long. First in Japan, and soon after that, she will be able to visit your iPhone around the world!
Hope you will love the application and we can create something interesting for you. Please wait for her until she is released on the AppStore!
Let's have a carrier pigeon with you!
June 19, 2009
As for our new application for iPhone OS 3.0, we have released QuickPigeon. It's FREE app and now available on the AppStore
Some of you may have already noticed on the AppStore! The top middle one is it!
This is a "carrier pigeon" application which utilizes the Push Notification Service, one of new features of iPhone OS 3.0. Though, a few decades ago, carrier pigeons were more popular than now, recently, instead of them, we use email, mobile phones and iPhone.
Email or text are much faster and certain way to send someone specifically something and get contact with them. But don't you feel that email took longer to get replies to casual short question, such as "How about having lunch with me?" "Do you wanna go to drink?" and text is expensive to do that? If you have felt such things, please try QuickPigeon!
Just write and send Yes/No question to your friends, and your questions will be sent as HTML mail. Your friends can directly answer Yes or No to the mail.
By the Push Notification Service, the Pigeon will tell you that you have received the answers. His notification singing will be different depending on the answer. After some exchanges, you will be able to know whether the answer is Yes or No only by hearing his singing.
When you asked more than one friend, you can chekc their answers in a list.
Though, this application utilizes the Push Notification Service, you can send your pigeon to any version of iPhone/ iPod touch and Mac. Receivers can also reply with any of them.
How about experiencing the little excitement of sending and receiving pigeons again with this application?
Hope this application will make your iPhone life and communication a little more joyful and a bit dear.
Hum… I feel like going have lunch with friends, "Have you have had lunch?" and send it to them by my Pigeon … OK!
WWDC, iPhone 3G S, and Zeptotools
June 9, 2009
WWDC is now being held in San Francisco. As one of developers of iPhone/iPod touch Apps, of course, we are attending the conference and heard the keynote. We are very excited.
On the first day, we stood in the line of attendees from early morning. Though we tried going there as early as possible, there had been already some other attendees when we arrived at Moscone Center!
You would be glad at the new features of iPhone, such as copy and past from app to app. For us, interesting new points are voice control and built-in digital compass. I often roughly estimate the direction by seeing the direction of the sun. But from iPhone 3G S, such primitive way you (I) do not have to use anymore. You (I) will be able to read maps smarter with the compass
Regarding Apps, Push Notification Service would push the usability and possibility of Zeptotools up. iPhone is changing people's life style, and we hope Zeptotools will change people's work style too, for more easire and comfortable way.
Before we developed ZeptoPad and Zeptoline, we had to sit in front of PC or on the chair to write documents or draw images with PC or by handwriting.But now, using ZeptoPad and ZeptoLiner, we can write draft of documents and share image sketches wherever and whenever.
Up to now, Apps' new notification was shown only when we checked it. However, Push Notification Service will notify you of something new in the Apps automatically. In addition, iPhone's alarm sounds are changeable in each App. So, we think that the system will provide something new work style as well as some tricks!
Considering such things, we are planning to develop something new app using the system. Of course, we are upgrading ZeptoPad and ZeptoLiner to be more tactful tools. I'm really looking forward to the future of iPhone, Apps and Zeptotools.
Hope the future will be more exciting and wonderful for you.
See you on next post or at WWDC!
Easier to complete? Glandarius 1.2
May 17, 2009
Hi all, how things going?
The other day, I finally, finally completed all levels of Glandarius Wing Strike!!! Yetta!!
Maybe some of them also have completed all the stages and seen the ending. But some have not yet. The attacks by enemies especially in level 5 or 6 are extremely hard and merciless. Some people might think that the game is too hard to complete and quit playing. However, please try it again! Because we have released Glandarius 1.2 that has easier levels in addition to current ones.
In "Easy" mode, you can play 5 levels. The situations are almost the same, but there are less enemies and less attacks of them. Also, it is easier to defeat enemies than normal mode. Your score will be ranked separately in normal and easy mode. Let's upgrade to 1.2 and go through all the levels of Glandarius Wing Strike!
I'm looking forward to your join in the rankings.
See you
Chain Takes You to the Next Level -tips for GWS-
April 21, 2009
Hi all, how's going?
Do you enjoy Glandarius Wing Strike? I'm now at level 5 and struggling with the incredibly armed boss… I've sent my score to the website of GWS. We're looking forward to your join the ranking. Please check it out and renew it one after another!
By the way, some players may also be struggling with the challenging levels. So I'd like to let you know some little tips to break through the levels!
First of all, many lives make it easier to endure enemy's merciless attacks. At every 300 thousand points, you can earn one more player life. To get more point, it's better to succeed in "chains." If you locked on 4 enemies at the same time and defeat them, you can earn a chain count. The number of the count multiplys the points you get. So, the more you add the chain count, the easier to earn your player's lives. If you get used to, you will earn 3 lives at the first level.
And more, actually, collision detection is set low. So, it is not so difficult to slip into the openings between enemies' attacks. Just try it when you thought your player was surrounded by enemies' attacks and couldn't escape from them!
Have you seen level 6? Up to level 5, you can check the images on the official website, but the final one is still top secret. Hope these tips will take you to the next level and you will see the final level!
See you at the ranking;-)

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the goal of the SOLAR program?
Our goal is to provide underrepresented minority students interested in careers in biomolecular research with an opportunity to carry out independent research projects under the guidance of a UNC faculty mentor. This intense summer research experience will introduce you to cutting-edge research and will provide you with a realistic view of graduate school and biomedical research careers. You will be immersed in the research process, including the design of a research project, methods for conducting controlled experiments, data collection, data analysis, and team-work. We will help you develop strong scientific communication skills and you will have the opportunity to present your work in the REU Symposium at the end of the summer.
How many summer scholars are accepted each year?
This summer we anticipate having funding for 12 students in the SOLAR program. We invite applicants from universities across the United States. Go to https://www.med.unc.edu/tibbs/SOLAR/2009-solar-alumni to see alumni from the summer of 2009.
What are the dates for summer 2014?
The dates for SOLAR 2014 are May 18th through July 25th.
Do I choose what lab I work in?
In your personal statement we ask that you identify what fields of science interest you the most and using that information as a guide we will choose a lab for you based on a variety of issues such as which labs have space and funding and which labs can provide superior training and mentoring.
Where will I live during the program?
The Program has arranged housing in Ram Village (http://housing.unc.edu/community/ram-village/index.html), a dormitory located on campus.
Do I need a car?
No, Chapel Hill has an extensive and free public transportation service. Maps of all bus routes in Chapel Hill and real-time information about arrival at specific sites are available at http://www.ci.chapel-hill.nc.us/index.asp?NID=397. Parking at Rams Village is available at a cost of $2.25/ day during the summer. Parking expenses are the responsibility of individual scholars.
Is travel to and from UNC provided?
If you are traveling by plane to UNC we have limited funds to cover your airfare to and from UNC. You can also check with your home institution to see if they can sponsor your travel costs.
Do I receive a stipend?
You will receive a $4200 stipend for the ten-week period. This will be paid in two installments - 50% during your first week and the remainder during your last week. Housing is also provided on campus at no cost to you.
What do I do in case of a health emergency?
Students who need to see a physician will need to go to the North Carolina Memorial Hospital Clinics or Emergency room, or to one of the small, minor emergency clinics located near the town.

Do I need to bring my own computer?
We recommend that you bring a computer with you, preferably a laptop. While you will have access to computers in the labs, you will often find that you need access to a computer in the evening when you are preparing for journal clubs and lab talks. Many journal articles are available on campus only through an electronic interface.
Will I need a UNC ID?
It is mandatory that you sign up for a UNC One-Card. This picture identification card provides you with access to many University services, including the libraries, and in some cases in necessary to gain entrance to campus buildings.
Will I have access to any athletic facilities?
For a small fee you can purchase a gym pass that gives you access to campus fitness centers, fitness classes, gyms, pools, courts, climbing walls, etc.
What is the weather like in Chapel Hill?
Chapel Hill's summers are hot (average temperature 85-95 degrees) and humid. All buildings are air-conditioned to about 75 degrees so, if you find air-conditioning a bit chilly, a lightweight sweater will be a good backup. Most everyone dresses very informally. There is one planned activity for which you will want to dress nicely, i.e., the presentations at the end of the program.
Can you tell me a little more about UNC?
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the nation's first public university, is the largest of the 16 campuses in the UNC system and its flagship research institution.

The campus has a 200-year history, blending the old and the new among its many tree-lined quadrangles and gardens. Other campus attractions include the Dean E. Smith sports complex, home of the 2005 and 2009 NCAA National Champion Men's Basketball team, the Ackland Art Museum, and the Morehead Planetarium, at which the Apollo astronauts trained in celestial navigation.

Getting more of the people who come to your site to buy , or join your list, or download something is called conversions. It doesn't mean you have to join a new religion but it is something we can all learn to do better.
You want your visitors to get a few messages clearly and right away; Above the fold so they don't have to scroll down to see all this:
• Who you are, your company name or blog name and logo.
• Why you are cool; why they should listen to you; why they should choose you: like, Over 3 Billion Served, or 10 years serving happy customers, or Our Many Reviews
• Why We Are Better: Your USP (Unique Selling Proposition). A benefit only you can provide.
• The 1st Step: What do they do to start falling into your sales funnel? Download a free report? Answer a Poll? Spell it out.
• Show them how they can buy right now. This is especially important for the returning visitors who have come back to buy, they do not want to be run around or have to search to find what they want.
Questions to ask your website:
• Is it confusing to follow and find places?
• Are there a lot of distractions?
• Are there too many ads going to other websites?
• Do the colors and layout create tension?
• If you have a shopping cart, is it easy to use and work in all browsers?
• If they want to contact key company people or customer service is that clearly visible and easy to find or do people have to search around?
• If you have forms, are they asking too many questions or difficult to fill out?
• Are user instructions available and connected to tasks?
One very important part of SEO that will lead directly to sales is taking a second look at your Title Tags and your Descriptions Tags. This is the information shown in the search engines. First of all I hope you are using well researched keywords in your Title and Description, but, do the "Sell The Click"? Is what people see in the search results result pages (SERPS) grabbing their interest and enticing them to click the golden link that takes them to your wonderful website? Do the words speak to the needs and wants and desires reflected in that search phrase you showed up for?
Of course it is crucial that page is relevant to what that person is looking for not only for the visitor but for SEO because they are analyzing for relevancy as must as possible.
Making your site easier to read and making the navigation easier to follow can give you a quick boost in conversions.

Better late than never, right? The SPF recommended reading from the past month is back on schedule. Writing one week ago today simply was not going to happen. As always I believe I found some gems written by our blogging peers over the last 35 days or so. 10 great reads, 3 Editors picks and the always fantastic Editors Choice. Enjoy!
- Enjoy well written, thorough, extremely useful articles? I love 'em. Suba, the writer behind Wealth Informatics, provides ridiculously great content on a consistent basis. Her step by step guide on how to negotiate salary even in a tough economy is yet another example why Suba is included in this round up so often. Employees who know they deserve higher compensation than they are earning can learn a lot from this 10 step guide.
- Canadian Couch Potato pointed our a new way for Canadians to side step currency conversion costs. A very interesting method to purchase ETFs sold in U.S. currency by utilizing the appropriate accounts to hold U.S. dollars and the ETFs.
- My Journey to Millions uses Google Docs spreadsheets to manage his investing. Aside from having Google know more about me than I already allow these tips really do integrate some tools that can help out investors.
- Never an easy question: remodel a kitchen to increase value vs paying down the mortgage. Life and My Finances is faced with such a decision. I wish him the best of luck. We try to balance both goals by doubling up our payments every 2 weeks while also saving to improve our home.
- So Teacherman, who writes here @ SPF, has an article up @ Invest It Wisely where he discusses why he wishes he controlled his pension. TM, a teacher in Canada, receives a defined benefit pension. Simply put, he is one of the lucky ones who get some sort of pension. He has his reasons, I just don't agree with him on the topic. And I wonder if a common law spouse is entitled to DBPs?
- Switching to the sustainability front, PT Money writes about living off the grid in a practical way. Depends on your priorities I suppose. We have thought about the investment and it is daunting … but also so enticing.
- Big fan of compost here. One of my first articles was about compost. If you garden and buy dirt (the good stuff or the cheap) you are much better off composting. Reduce waste, stop buying dirt! Financially Consumed is loving his compost too.
- Over at his own site TM isn't interested in having kids and has put a lot of thought into his decision. My advice? Don't close the door entirely TM. I wasn't sure I wanted kids in my 20s and I had put a whole lot of rational thought into it at the time. Circumstances and people sure can change.
- For the second month in a row Daily Money Shot graces this list. A topic close to her nerve endings is discussing the assignment of "salary" to motherhood. The passion and argument are compelling to say the least. For Mrs. SPF and I we would look closely at our financial reality if she were to stay @ home with lil' SPF versus returning to work. It is a prudent thing to do.
- An Alternative Life is a new Canadian blog I recently discovered. The post, 10 Questions From Wedding Guests You Don't Need to Answer is a good one. I enjoyed the perspective. If you see this Jordann I hope you check out Mrs. SPF's Sustainable Wedding Planning Series. You wrote about smart wedding spending today.
- Want to work from home? Studenomics discusses the Dark Side of Working from Home. Quite a number of his points I take to heart. I am not sure I could pull it off.
Editor Picks!
EP3: Aloysa has a new blog folks! She found it odd I linked to her old blog in my SPF Best Reads of 2011, but quality is quality and her article about tipping. This time Aloysa summed up quite succintly 20 things bloggers should stop doing. Dead on. Check out the old article too – then read more of her current site. You'll like it – including her recent series: My Mother Was a Mail Order Bride. I still mean to get over there to comment. The last 2 weeks have been brutal for us so my blogging commenting on great articles has been poor. I hope highlighting some of your great articles now makes up for it a bit!
EP2: Matt and Betsy Jabs have site I really enjoy. Why? Because we don't want to live a life where we waste and consume because it is convenient. These folks explain what is and what are the benefits of Community Supported Agriculture.
Members (you) pay in advance for a growing season so farmers have operating capital. During the growing season, members receive a box of produce from the CSA on a regular schedule (usually once per week)
We joined one this year. While we want to make a healthy veg garden as well. But we also know we can't realistically get all of the great vegetables we want to eat during the summer from our local market. As such, this DIY Natural is equally as useful helping us with how to find a CSA.
EP1: Looking at safer (IMO) investment vehicles? Dividends and bonds are the staple of lower risk investing. Dividend Ninja explains how he is building his portfolio with dividends and bonds. I think if we had similar circumstances as DN has we'd follow this approach in an instant. We already do, largely.
EDITOR CHOICE: A lot of debate recently here in Ontario and in Canada about the Public Service. Specifically about total compensation. Don't Quit Your Day Job takes a close look at the gap between public and private sector jobs. From where I sit the private option would be much more lucrative given my profession (IT). Check it out for yourself … please!
Hope you enjoyed the round up. If you find articles you think Mrs. SPF and/or I would like to read please send us an email and include the URL! Thanks!

As we all know, 'iostat' is part of 'sysstat' and it relies on '/proc/diskstats' for data collection. An independent port of 'iostat' from FreeBSD would need a name change on our side, or the incorporation of the generic name 'iostat' into the alternate subsystem, which hardly seems desirable.

This reminds me a bit of eggplant parmesan, only much healthier. You could probably make this ahead and just save the baking part until you are ready to serve. I modified this recipe from Vegetarian Times magazine to give it more flavor. Among the things I added were the tomato sauce and extra cheese. I have listed them as optional ingredients, but I highly recommend it since it really adds so much to this dish. You can use whatever sauce you want (leftover spaghetti or pizza sauce would be good). I simply chopped up a few roma tomatoes and added a bit of red wine vinegar, garlic, and herbs, and cooked them all in a pan for a few minutes.

Mildand City Residents Vote 'No Confidence' Against Mayor
Posted: 1:05 PM Dec 5, 2012
Reporter: Bethany Anderson
(Dothan, AL)-- Midland City Residents have turned in a vote of no confidence for Mayor Virgil Skipper. Councilman George Williams turned in the petition with more than 200 signatures Tuesday night.
Williams said residents have many issues, including how Skipper is handling city money.
"Going through public records we found a receipt addressed to Mayor Skipper for a car repair," Williams said. "The car does not belong to the city, so why is the city paying for it? he said.
City Clerk Melissa Knighton believes the check could have been signed off by accident. However Knighton also said that all city bookkeeping is audited and held to state standards.
"This isn't about the Mayor, this is a witch hunt," Knighton said. "We have checks and balances on everything," she said.
People also accuse Skipper of being rude and refusing to listen during meetings. However, some council members argue that while the public can attend a meeting, it doesn't necessarily give them the right to direct the meeting.
Midland's city attorney is now looking incident. Residents will also have to go through the attorney if they want to push the mayor out. Mayor Skipper is not making any comments at this time.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
The Android malware scanner called Bouncer, which Google uses to scrutinize all apps uploaded to Google Play, can be easily bypassed, a pair of security researchers said on Monday.
Mobile security researchers Jon Oberheide and Charlie Miller have devised several methods that could allow malicious apps to determine when they are being inspected by Google's scanner and hide their real purpose.
In February, Google revealed that it uses an in-house developed service called Bouncer to scan all apps that are made available for download or purchase on Google Play -- then known as the Android Market -- for signs of malware. The company explained that Bouncer executes every newly uploaded app inside an Android emulator and analyzes its behavior.
Antivirus programs have long used built-in emulators to safely observe how suspicious files behave when executed and most antivirus experts analyze malware samples in virtual machines. As a result, a lot of malware programs are now designed to suppress their malicious behavior if they detect the use of emulated environments.
Oberheide and Miller took a similar approach in their attempt to bypass Bouncer. "If you know your app is running in Bouncer, you just play dead," Oberheide said via email. "If you know your app is outside Bouncer on a real user's device, then you just pull down your root exploit from an external server."
The two researchers created an app that connects back to their server and allows them to issue basic Linux commands on the Android device where it runs. This is known as a connect-back shell and can be opened by apps that don't require special Android permissions.
The researchers created a fake Google Play developer account, which Oberheide says is pretty easy to do, and submitted the app. When it got executed by Bouncer inside its Android emulator for analysis, the app called back home and allowed the researchers to gather information about the environment.
Using the connect-back shell opened by the app, Oberheide and Miller were able to identify bits of information that are unique to the Bouncer system and can act like a fingerprint. Malicious apps can use this fingerprint to determine whether the system they run in is Google's scanner or a real device.
However, the connect-back shell is not the only method that can be used to fingerprint Bouncer, Oberheide said. The researchers plan to showcase several techniques they developed for this purpose on Friday, at the SummerCon conference in New York.
"We've been in touch with the Android security team and will be working with them to address some of the problems we've discovered," Oberheide said in a blog post on Monday.
However, the researcher doesn't believe that all fingerprinting techniques will be easy to block, because Google needs to keep the ratio of false positive detections at a low level.
"If your app can fingerprint Bouncer using the same common operations that millions of apps use, then Google will be unable to flag it since it would be infeasible to also flag those millions of apps," Oberheide said via email.
Making Bouncer impossible to fingerprint by removing all signs that it uses an emulated environment would also be extremely difficult, Oberheide said. However, its current state can be improved, he said.
Google did not immediately return a request for comment.
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

WINNIPEG – The Winnipeg Jets came within 10.8 seconds of taking over first place in the Southeast Division for the first time this season and sweeping their four-game series with the Philadelphia Flyers.
Instead, the Jets will have to settle for one point and another in a long line of learning experiences. Philadelphia's Jaromir Jagr scored with 43.6 seconds left in overtime on the Flyers' 55th shot of the game, giving them a 5-4 victory on Tuesday night at the MTS Centre.
Holding a 4-3 lead in the final minute of regulation, the Jets nearly survived Philadelphia's 18-shot third-period bombardment, only to see Wayne Simmonds score with 10.8 seconds left when he stuffed James van Riemsdyk's centering feed behind Ondrej Pavelec.
Then in overtime, the Flyers outshot the Jets, 6-1, and won the game when Daniel Briere stole the puck behind the Winnipeg net and fed Jagr for a quick snap shot that beat Pavelec cleanly.
"As far as the attack goes," Flyers coach Peter Laviolette said, "I really liked our game, and I'm really proud that the guys kept coming, and pumping. It was one of those gutsy efforts that you look back on and it might have been one of our best, toughest wins of the year."
The Jets now have 65 points, matching the Florida Panthers for the Southeast Division's points lead and the Toronto Maple Leafs for eighth place in the Eastern Conference. But the Jets have played more games than both teams and trail them in the Eastern Conference playoff race.
"It's a game where we probably could have gotten two [points]," Jets coach Claude Noel said. "Did we deserve two? I'll let you be the judge of that."
Philadelphia's win helped the Flyers keep pace with the Penguins and hold them in the Eastern Conference's fifth-place slot. Claude Giroux, Scott Hartnell and Max Talbot also scored for the Flyers, who outshot the Jets 55-26 in the opener of a four-game trip that continues Thursday night at Edmonton. The 55 shots were the most by any team in a game this season and tied a Winnipeg franchise mark for shots allowed.
"We have four lines and they all can score goals," said Jagr, who scored his 16th overtime goal, breaking a four-way tie for the most in NHL history. "You have to make the other team tired, you know, because every line can score. That's what made us dangerous in the first half of the season. Any line you put on the ice, they can score."
"It doesn't matter how many they score against us," Jagr continued, "because we know we can score a lot of goals."
The Flyers needed that offensive output, because goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov, whom coach Peter Laviolette pulled in last Saturday's home loss to Pittsburgh, struggled again, stopping only 22 shots. Afterward Bryzgalov was grateful that his teammates bailed him out.
"I think we won, because the team deserved to win," Bryzgalov said. "They played unbelievably. They created so many chances to score. I think it was a fair result."
While Bryzgalov struggled, Pavelec turned in another stout effort in making his 51st appearance of the season and tying a career high for saves in a game. The loss left Pavelec pacing in the hallway of the Winnipeg dressing room afterward, and he did not speak to the media.
"Right after the game, I kind of went up to him," forward Tim Stapleton said of Pavelec, "and you could tell how frustrated he was. It's obviously not his fault."
While Pavelec did not speak, his coach had plenty to say about his goaltender.
"Say what you want, goalies like that, you can win championships with goalies like that, goaltending like that," Noel said.
Along with Pavelec, the Jets also built a lead via a power-play unit that broke a 2-for-29 slump on Sunday night with tallies against Colorado continued its hot touch. The Jets converted all three of their man-advantage opportunities with goals from Andrew Ladd, Dustin Byfuglien and Evander Kane. Ladd also supplied another even-strength goal, the second of his two during a 1:04 span in the second period. Stapleton contributed three assists, Bryan Little chipped in a pair of helpers, and Blake Wheeler added an assist, giving him 11 points in his past six games.
Kane had put the Jets ahead 4-3 on their third power play when he motored away from a cluster of players along the right half-boards toward the top of the circle. Kane then used Matt Read to screen a rising wrist shot that fooled Bryzgalov 4:57 into the third period.
But the Jets were outshot 18-3 in the final period, and Stapleton said they may have been too passive.
"I think when we were up 4-3," Stapleton said, "we kind of just focused on playing defensively and just trying to get the puck out. We weren't really focused on scoring, and maybe that kind of killed us, too. We weren't playing to win. We were playing not to lose -- and sure enough, they scored one late and then they won in overtime."
The Jets punished the Flyers and Talbot for a cross-check on Jim Slater behind the play halfway through the first period. Thirty-three seconds into the resulting power play, Byfuglien used a Ladd screen to launch a long left-point shot that skidded through Bryzgalov's pads at 12:31 for a 1-0 lead.
Philadelphia responded 3:21 later after breaking down Winnipeg's down-low coverage. Hartnell snuck free and shoveled a pass from the edge of the crease that reached Giroux, who lifted a shot on his backhand under the crossbar. The Flyers then repaid Winnipeg by scoring on the power play 1:09 into the second period when Hartnell pushed a loose rebound past Pavelec for his League-leading 14th power-play goal and a 2-1 lead.
Ladd tied the game at 2-2 with 43 seconds left on the Jets' second power play. He charged off the right boards toward the Philadelphia net. Wheeler fired a hard pass from behind the net that Ladd one-timed far-side past Bryzgalov at 7:52. Winnipeg regained the lead 64 seconds later when Ladd outmuscled newly acquired defenseman Nicklas Grossman in the slot and shoveled a rebound under Bryzgalov, the quickest span in which a Winnipeg player has scored this season.
But the Flyers pulled even when Talbot snuck in from the right circle and converted a long rebound at 11:14 for his career-best 17th goal and a 3-3 tie.
The loss left the Jets a somber group as they continue their eight-game homestand on Thursday when the Tampa Bay Lightning visit.
"We spoiled a great performance on [Pavelec's] part," Ladd said.

These days, big technology companies�particularly those in the hyper-competitive mobile phone and tablet industries�are starting to resemble big film production houses. Similar to opening week at the movies, every mobile phone or tablet release needs to be a blockbuster and the only measure of success are the gross unit shipments and corresponding sales in the initial weeks. Sell big or die fast seems to be the harsh market reality.
Blackberry: In defence of the keypad master
Take the case of BlackBerry, the Canadian device maker which invented the concept of on-the-go email more than a decade ago with clunky little devices with a mini keyboard. The gadgets, which offered powerful security features, allowed the company to corner the lucrative market serving business and legal professionals as well as government workers. But competition soon followed and many in that market are now moving to other devices�especially Apple Inc.'s iPhone and mobile phones using Google�s Android technology�leaving BlackBerry struggling to make its mark both at the top and the bottom of a competitive smartphone market.

Cut to the present. BlackBerry is charting a new course by officially adopting its iconic brand name. Its new platform and products are raising eyebrows, especially among those who had written off the company and its previous products. First quarter results for the three months ended June 1, 2013 might have prompted ever-deeper skepticism about a long-promised turnaround, but company officials are quick to point out that there are always challenges in the transition period and the company is staying on course for rapid growth in the future.
�During the first quarter, we continued to focus our efforts on the global roll out of the BlackBerry 10 platform,� said Thorsten Heins, president and CEO of BlackBerry. �We are still in the early stages of this launch, but already, the BlackBerry 10 platform and BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 are proving themselves to customers to be very secure, flexible and dynamic mobile computing solutions. Over the next three quarters, we will be increasing our investments to

Clean and everything is nicely aligned, i like it. My only gripe is the text on your DBM bars below the target frame are missing a shadow to match everything else.
Not tested cause my DBM is skinned with ElvUI and ElvUI_AddonSkins, so i've never had to try this.
Open up DBM-Core -> DBT.lua lines 798 and 799
change toCode:name:SetFont(self.owner.options.Font, self.owner.options.FontSize) timer:SetFont(self.owner.options.Font, self.owner.options.FontSize)
Code:name:SetFont(self.owner.options.Font, self.owner.options.FontSize, "OUTLINE") timer:SetFont(self.owner.options.Font, self.owner.options.FontSize, "OUTLINE")
Then try this
add in 2 linesCode:name:SetFont(self.owner.options.Font, self.owner.options.FontSize) timer:SetFont(self.owner.options.Font, self.owner.options.FontSize)
Code:name:SetFont(self.owner.options.Font, self.owner.options.FontSize) name:SetShadowColor(0, 0, 0, 1) timer:SetFont(self.owner.options.Font, self.owner.options.FontSize) timer:SetShadowColor(0, 0, 0, 1)

This^ Have not played enough recently to even think about tinkering with my UI. When I do log on it's usually before raids, which I have to make. It's such a minor issue that will be changed once I have time! Would also like to get rid of the in combat icon on the player frame too.

Have you uped the screenshot quality ingame from 3 to 10?
Try changing screenshot format?
@Pixil, Welcome back, we missed you! :P

I really like this, clear and aligned, no extra crap. Very very nice
What addon are you using for nameplates?
Anyway, this is mine; I've fixed things like text alignment on the Bossbar by now though.

Ha, digging through my screenshots folder, found a UI from back around Ulduar patch, might rebuild that.
No idea who's UI it was however, so when I post I will throw up the old screen aswell, would like to give credit to whoever it was that built it in the first place.

- The 4th row of your raid frames has a 1px thicker power bar on the bottom than everything else.
- The text on your Fire Elemental timer bar is touching the bottom, make the bar 1px thicker.
- The text on all your unit frames, castbar and skada title bar are closer to the top, while everything else has the text closer to the bottom.
- The timer text on your second buff row lies lower than on the first buff row.
4 pages back and no one seemed to have noticed this. Outrageous!
