A few weeks ago, I found myself in an unlikely place: The Bavarian city of Bamberg, in the medieval cathedral of that German town which avoided significant damage during World War II. The cathedral guide proclaimed that among the treasures of the church is a famous sculpture depicting the primacy of Christianity over Judaism. It does so by representing the church as a beautiful woman, holding a sturdy staff, the light of her eyes gazing toward the future, while Judaism is presented as a woman with her eyes blinded by a scarf, unable to see, leaning on a shattered staff. This perception of Judaism as being an inconveniently persistent relic of the past was of course not just limited to medieval Christianity. Arnold Toynbee and Karl Marx also posited that our time had come and gone, while the Nazis tried to ensure that such was the case. And yet there I was, in that place, to participate in a ritual that would show that despite the best efforts of those who would deny us a future, we persist as a vibrant people, with ideas and values we share with the surrounding civilizations and not just in the confines of our own intellectual and spiritual ghettos. In this age, we as a Jewish people have become whole again — our staff perhaps never broken, but now strengthened by the renewal of Jewish community in various parts of the world, is better able to part the seas of complacency. Today our eyes cast the light of the Jewish spirit, love of learning, and belief that all people, created in God's image, can partner with holiness to bring healing into a world so clearly in need of it. The ritual was the fourth ordination of rabbis from the new progressive German rabbinic seminary, the Geiger School located near Berlin. I was in attendance because a student from Seattle, Paul Strasko, who has an amazing personal story, was about to become a rabbi. He had invited me, as his former rabbi, to participate. The Geiger School does something that at the beginning of my rabbinic career I would never have thought possible. They train men and women for the rabbinate for the express purpose of serving the needs of the European Jewish community — especially in the German-speaking world and the former Soviet Union. I used to believe that in our time Jewish life in Central and Eastern Europe was indeed a relic of the past; that Hitler and Stalin had for the most part succeeded in making Europe a place where the staff of Judaism was broken and where we Jews should not live. But in Germany and Eastern Europe, Jews have chosen to make Jewish life a continuing presence and have started to recreate significant Jewish community. Chabad, God bless them, recognized this reality a while ago, but so did the principals of the Geiger school, two charismatic Jewish leaders — one German, Walter Homolka, and one American, Walter Jacob — rabbis who understood that liberal Judaism would play a necessary role in this revival of European Jewry. This year's graduates will all serve European communities, with my student Paul, who converted to Judaism here at Beth Am, working with Francophone Jewry in Geneva, Switzerland in a growing congregation. I hope Seattle Jewry will be inspired by the example of those Jews who had the vision to create and support this new European rabbinical school as we realize the pivotal role we can take in shaping the Jewish future. We are no longer an outlying community, looking to New York or Los Angeles for direction. We have visionary leaders, from those in our Jewish Federation who are developing a new way for all the community to come together and support each other to rabbis and teachers — and scholars — in our universities and thriving synagogues. This Jewish community is poised to become a significant center of Jewish life. What we still need, however, are business visionaries and philanthropists to step forward and take their place as communal leaders to help to inspire the dynamic renewal of Jewish life both locally and nationally. We are blessed to have the wealthiest Jews in Jewish history living in this town — captains of industry who have transformed how we communicate, how we make third places over a hot beverage, leaders in the distribution of goods. It is a situation not unlike what Isaac Meyer Wise, the founder of American Reform Judaism found in Cincinnati in the 1800s, then the Seattle of its day. He was able to convince Jewish leaders in the business community to support his vision of creating a transformative, progressive Judaism for America. Now we desperately need that kind of visionary commitment to step forward and fund a Jewish Gates Foundation here in Seattle that could help us create the foundation of the New Jewish future, to support our synagogues and the work we are doing, to fund the rabbinical schools — Reform, Orthodox, Conservative, Reconstructionist — that serve all of our communities, to create centers of Jewish music and creativity, including a Center for Jewish Heritage here in this beautiful city. In our own ways all of us in the synagogue and non-profit Jewish communities strive to do this, but on a paltry budget, because our funding is limited. Just think what we could do to bring on the real Golden Age of this generation if we nurtured historic philanthropic leadership in this community that is so capable of producing it. I have been here for 17 years and have yet to meet those who would help us reach that next level — but I am inspired by what I experienced in Germany. There I was reminded that the staff on the statue of Jewish life is beginning to become whole again and it is our privilege in this great Jewish city, to be able to continue to strengthen it!

ISO-MRP STRATEGY: Custom-Engineered Bodybuilding Super Food For serious bodybuilders and athletes, the notion of eating just three "square meals" a day is not an option. That's because eating more often, up to five or six meals per day, provides a wide range of benefits that help active individuals reach even higher fitness levels. Frequent eating revs up the metabolism due to food's "thermic" effect; helps maintain peak energy levels by aiding blood-sugar balance; and promotes increases in lean tissue by regulating insulin levels and providing a steady flow of amino acids into muscle cells. ISO-MRP TACTICS: Increase Meal Frequency, and Provide Maximum Nutrition to Reinforce Improvements in Body Composition While it's true that adding supplemental meals to a structured, whole-food eating regimen offers a whole host of benefits, the actual bodybuilding nutritional value of the extra meals is even more critical. To reap the full advantage of eating five to six meals per day, the Research & Development Team at Nutrabolics have designed ISO-MRP, a nutrient-dense food source that delivers ultra-premium isolate proteins, designer organic complex carbohydrates, fiber and health-promoting essential fatty acids in a convenient, easy-to-use drink mix. Simply put, combined with a vigorous weight-training program, ISO-MRP is a surefire way to increase your energy levels, speed recovery, protect and promote building lean tissue, and minimize bodyfat storage.

Academic Annual Leave
Academic Annual Leave Objectives
The academic annual leave objectives are:
• To exhaust the current year's Annual Leave accrual during that year
• To reduce any Academic Deferred Annual Leave accruals from previous years
A staff member accrues annual leave on a daily basis at the rate of 20 days per year of full-time service (or pro rata for part-time or part-year service).
Staff are expected to take all the annual leave that they have accrued in a particular calendar year within 20 working days following the commencement of the University's annual Christmas Closedown.
Academic annual leave is commonly taken in the non-teaching period during December/ January each year. However, annual leave may also be taken at other times during the year with the approval of the staff member's Head of School or supervisor. In these circumstances the staff member will normally take annual leave in non-teaching periods.
Booking through HRonline
From 1 February 2013, academic staff are required to book all annual leave in HRonline. If annual leave bookings are not made in HRonline within 20 working days following the commencement of the Christmas Closedown, the leave will be deemed to have been taken. Leave balances will then be adjusted accordingly. Link to HRonline: https://hronline.newcastle.edu.au
Note: If staff do not have access to HRonline they can complete an Annual Leave application form: http://www.newcastle.edu.au/Resources/Divisions/Services/Human%20Resource%20Services/Leave-Management/Forms/annual-leave-form.pdf
Academic Deferred Leave
In exceptional circumstances, a staff member who cannot use all their annual leave accrued in a particular year may apply for a credit for the unused portion by completing an "Accrued Annual Leave- Unused Credit Request (Academic Staff)" application form. The application form, and an accompanying leave plan, need to be submitted to the Head of School no later than 31 January the following year.
Once approved by the Head of School and PVC, the application form and leave plan will be forwarded to Human Resource Services for recording in HRonline.
The 'Accrued Annual Leave- Unused Credit Request (Academic Staff)' form can be found at this link:
/Resources/Divisions/Services/Human Resource Services/Leave-Management/Forms/Accrued ALeave - Unused credit request WITH leave_plan_template.docx
Note: Some academic staff will also have Academic Deferred Annual Leave balances appearing in HRonline. This leave can be booked through HRonline or via the Annual Leave application form.
Who can I contact if I have a question?
Please contact your HR Officer. HR Officers contact list: http://www.newcastle.edu.au//unit/human-resource-services/hr-client-service/contacts.html or visit the Frequently Asked Questions page.

My favorite movie Love it ? ^
I love this movie.
this movie its awesome!!! I can see it a thousand times and a thousand times I love it!!! :)
The greatest childrens story written of all time, with such suspense, thrilling adventure, moving drama, and exciting Biblical undertones. It's so simple that a child can not miss it. Adults love it too. Thank you.
Pretty bad. No real character development. No true bad guy to root against and acting was pretty dull. Ending was pretty cool but that's about it. The first one was the best. Hard to recapture that magic.

A dull, meandering storyline and visuals all-but destroyed by a second-rate 3-D conversion make this movie inferior to its predecessors. Full Review

Both sides had their chances but strong goal tending and solid defence at both ends of the ice ensured the puck stayed out of the net.
This was Solihull's first ever visit to the 11,000-seater Edgeley Park to face Stockport County who were relegated from the Conference Premier on the final game last season.
Birmingham & Solihull secured another five points in a relatively comfortable 28-15 victory at home to Hull, though the visitors showed they still have the firepower to stay in National League 2 North.
Berkswell wrapped up their second season in the top division of the Birmingham League with a well-earned four wicket win away at Walsall, the side that won the league in 2012

S3QL is a file system that stores all its data online. It supports Amazon S3, Google Storage, and OpenStack and effectively provides you with a hard disk of dynamic, infinite capacity that can be accessed from any computer with Internet access. S3QL provides a standard, full featured Unix file system that is conceptually indistinguishable from any local file system. Additional features include compression, encryption, data de-duplication, immutable trees, and snapshotting, which make it especially suitable for online backup and archiving. The design favors simplicity and elegance over performance and feature-creep. Care has been taken to make the source code as readable and serviceable as possible. Solid error detection, error handling, and extensive automated test cases are provided.
PeaZip is a cross-platform file archiver utility that provides a unified portable GUI for many open source technologies like 7-Zip, FreeArc, PAQ, UPX, etc. Creates 7Z, ARC, BZ2, GZ, *PAQ, PEA, QUAD/BALZ, TAR, UPX, WIM, XZ, and ZIP files. It extracts more than 150 archive types: ACE, ARJ, CAB, DMG, ISO, LHA, RAR, UDF, ZIPX, and more. Features of PeaZip include extracting, creating, and converting multiple archives at once, creating self-extracting archives, split/join files, strong encryption with two factor authentication, an encrypted password manager, secure deletion, find duplicate files, calculate hashes, and export job definitions as scripts.
pngcrush is an excellent batch-mode compression utility for PNG images. Depending on the application that created the original PNGs, it can improve the file size anywhere from a few percent to 40% or more (completely losslessly). The utility also allows specified PNG chunks (e.g. text comments) to be inserted or deleted, and it can fix incorrect gamma info written by Photoshop 5.0 as well as the erroneous iCCP chunk written by Photoshop 5.5.
The RAZip bitstream format was designed to provide a faster random access to compressed data than what is currently possible using the GZIP format. Its major features include fast random access to compressed data, freedom from patents, single-pass coding/decoding using a bounded amount of intermediate storage, the ability to choose from one of many algorithms for compression, encryption, or error correction, and comprehensive support for Unix file metadata, Macintosh file metadata, and arbitrary file metadata.
OzVM (Virtual Machine Project) is a simple, lightweight, secure virtual machine. The current target application of OzVM is OzStream, which allows platform independent self-decoding of data. The vision of OzStream is to make any and all compressed media self-extracting. OzStream abstracts compressed media from client applications, providing new freedom for users, developers, and compression techniques.
Opendedup is a deduplication-based filesystem and block device designed to provide inline deduplication and flexiblity for applications. It benefits services such as backup, archiving, NAS storage, and Virtual Machine primary and secondary storage, and can be deployed in both a stand alone and distributed, multi node configuration. Standalone, it provides inline deduplication, replication, and unlimited snapshot capabilities. In a multi-node configuration, it adds global intra-volume deduplication, block storage redundancy, and block storage expandability. and will store and share unique data blocks with other volumes within the cluster. These volumes can also specify a level of redundancy for data stored in the cluster.

As autumn approaches, we enjoy all that this new season brings: the heat and humidity are lower and breezes more refreshing; the leaves are turning; the kids are back in school.
However, this is also the season for poor posture - and its production of symptoms in our necks and backs.
As both school and multi-tasking begin, we watch our children trudge off with their backpacks full of necessary and unnecessary items. These new postural stresses create significant weight and strain on their spines - especially their necks.
The body assumes new positions because of this added weight to the back, and they stoop, slouch and bend forward. Compensatory postures are automatically assumed to balance and maintain our new poor postures, so as students move through the hallways with heavy backpacks in tow, their heads protrude forward and the necks extend upward to facilitate forward movement. The rounded back and forward head put the upper part of the neck into a full bent backward position, and the lower part of the neck into a full bent forward position. Our kids begin to complain of headaches, neck pain, and upper body pain; unfortunately, we usually write this off as being caused by stresses of school.
In addition to the stresses the backpack puts on our children's bodies, poor posture while studying adds to the strain.
The usual study posture is sitting in the middle of the bed with legs crossed, the laptop or paperwork on the lap, and the smart phone off to the side, so as not to eliminate constant contact with friends. The television is also placed at the foot of the bed, forcing the neck upwards to watch the occasional snippet of TV.
So the bad postures assumed during the day continue into the evening and night as students complete their homework.
It is these postural stresses that produce pain both temporary and long lasting. We must encourage our kids to stop the pain today and learn effective ways to prevent strains and pains in the future.

We camp at this lake often. Lots of trees and shade. Can pick up all of the Wichita Hi-Def TV stations over the antenna. This park can get very windy at times but that's just the Kansas weather for you.

Found it to be quieter than the State Lake Parks. Staff were very friendly. The campground had a program or something going on every night for the campers to participate in if they chose to. Pool was clean. About 50% of the spaces have trees and shade. No cable but was able to pick up all of the Wichita Hi-Def local stations on the antenna. We are going to camp here again.

Little Miss Stella vs. Miss Marc: Which Chic Cartoon Character Is Your Favorite?
Sketches play a huge role in every fashion designer's day-to-day routine—but sometimes, industry players take their love of doodles another step further—with very cute results.
A few years ago, Stella McCartney teamed with Adam Hargreaves—the son of Roger Hargreaves, who created the acclaimed Mr. Men and Little Miss children's picture book series—on her very own cartoon character, Little Miss Stella. Stella's cheery, hand-drawn alter ego appeared on the designer's Spring 2007 runway show invites, inspired her own storybook, and is now the muse for real Stella's new seven-piece childrenswear collection. The Little Miss Stella lineup, which will include sweaters, tees and more, will hit Stella's stores at the end of next month and online at Stellamccartney.com.
Speaking of designer-crafted cartoons, we're also big fans of Miss Marc, Marc Jacobs' adorably sullen mascot. First drawn up in 2009, the dark-haired face of Marc by Marc Jacobs has appeared on tons of the designer's accessories and special items, many of them very reasonably priced.
Click through for some of our current Miss Marc'd favorites. And in the battle of Miss Marc versus Little Miss Stella, who do you think wins for best character?

Re: How is virgin mobile's 4g network?
Sprint handed the Wimax 4G network down to Virgin and Boost, and Wimax is only available in 71 cities nationwide. If you don't have it in your area, don't expect it. They are not expanding Wimax 4G. Check Virgin's coverage map to check for 4G in your area.

Re: How is virgin mobile's 4g network?
Don't expect WiMAX to be around once Sprint builds out LTE so maybe 2-3 years.
WiMAX is OK speeds and allows simultaneous voice and data but when I had it on an EVO 4G and turning on WiMAX was a battery hog.

Man pleads guilty to striking woman with SUV at park
A South Lyon man pleaded guilty in Livingston County court Friday to charges for striking a woman with his sport utility vehicle at a state park.
Roy Joseph Galdes pleaded guilty as charged to operating a vehicle while intoxicated and causing serious injury to a woman when he struck her with his 2003 Chevrolet TrailBlazer in June at Island Lake Recreation Area in Green Oak Township. He also pleaded guilty to possession of marijuana and possession of open intoxicants in the vehicle.
In entering his plea, Galdes admitted that he was highly intoxicated at the beach and that he backed his vehicle into Novi resident Eden Prescott-Scott.
Authorities said Galdes blood-alcohol content was 0.22, nearly three times the states legal limit of 0.08.
Prescott-Scott and her doctor each testified at an earlier hearing about her injuries, which left her unable to walk for a couple of weeks after the incident. They also said she used a walker for about a month.
Prescott-Scott earlier testified that she and her daughter were unloading the rear cargo area of her minivan when she was hit by the TrailBlazer.
Under the plea deal, the prosecution will recommend that Galdes serve no more than one year in jail and three years of probation. Sentencing is March 20.
Milford woman pleads guilty to felony charges
A Milford woman pleaded guilty to felony charges for stealing baby formula from a Genoa Township store.
Jodie Lynn Whittico admitted that she stole at least $200 to more than $1,000 worth of baby formula from the Genoa Township WalMart and Meijer stores on multiple occasions in October. She also admitted to trying to steal baby formula on two other occasions, but she left the store without the merchandise because she felt a store security officer was watching her.
You were going to steal them from here and sell them somewhere else? Livingston County Circuit Judge Michael P. Hatty asked.
Yes, your honor, Whittico, 30, replied.
Whittico also pleaded guilty to trying to steal two televisions from the Genoa Township Wal-Mart and to assaulting a store security officer at the store when he tried to confront her.
Whittico faces sentencing March 20 for multiple counts of first-degree retail fraud and organized retail crime as well as assault and battery.

Nokia's mystery device? The Nokia N97
Nokia officially unveils the Internet-focused Nokia N97, a full-QWERTY smartphone with a touch screen. Will its style and substance compete with the iPhone, G1, and BlackBerry Storm?
Twenty-four hours after teasing us with news of a major product announcement, Nokia officially took the wraps off its mystery smartphone on Tuesday at the Nokia World 2008 conference in Barcelona, Spain. And despite some close guesses, no one got it quite right, so without further ado, let us introduce you to the Nokia N97.
Part of the company's high-end N series of multimedia computers, the N97 trumps all previous models with a slide-out full QWERTY keyboard and a tilting 3.5-inch touch screen (anyone else reminded of the AT&T Tilt or Sony Ericsson Xperia X1?). Yes, there's the Nokia N810 Internet Tablet, but the N97 includes phone capabilities and is designed for the "needs of Internet-savvy consumers."
For example, the smartphone provides easy access to a number of social-networking sites, and the Web browser supports streaming Flash videos. The N97 also introduces something Nokia calls "social location," which uses the capabilities of the integrated A-GPS sensors and electronic compass to automatically update users' social networks, or let them share their location via photos or videos with friends.
The Home screen can be personalized with widgets of favorite Web and social-networking sites. Finally, the N97 is fully compatible with Nokia's Ovi Internet services, which include the Nokia Music Store, Nokia Maps, and the N-Gage gaming platform--though these services have yet to fully launch in the United States.
The Symbian-based smartphone also features a music and video player, a 5-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, and a whopping 32GB of onboard memory that can be expanded with a 16GB microSD card.
The quad-band (GSM 850/900/1800/1900) world phone is HSDPA-capable handset, but it currently supports only the 900/1900/2100MHz bands (AT&T's 3G network runs on 850/1900MHz, while T-Mobile runs on 1700/2100MHz). There is integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, however.
The Nokia N97 is expected to ship in Europe during the first half of 2009, with an estimated price of 550 euros ($695). As Crave reader UKStory1355 humorously and astutely noted in our blog post yesterday, "Like it matters to U.S. citizens; we won't see it for 18 months, anyway," there is no official word on when we'll see the N97 stateside. Heck, we're still waiting for the Nokia N96.
Of course, there's always the possibility of buying the smartphone unlocked, and who knows? Maybe Nokia will surprise us.
Obviously, the Nokia N97 takes a jab at other popular touch-screen smartphones, namely the Apple iPhone 3G, T-Mobile G1, and Research In Motion BlackBerry Storm, but will it succeed? It certainly has the substance and style to take on the big boys, but will it go the way of the Xperia X1, in which the lack of a U.S. carrier and a high price tag will severely limit its adoption in the States?
Either way, we think that the Nokia N97 looks like a pretty sweet device, and we're looking forward to having some personal hands-on time with it. Above is a Nokia-produced video of the N97. I'd love to hear your initial thoughts.

LONDON, June 20 (Reuters) - British retail sales rebounded much more than expected in May, lifted by discounting at supermarkets and online shopping, official data showed on Thursday.
The Office for National Statistics said sales volumes grew 2.1 percent on the month, after a 1.1 percent drop in April - the sharpest fall in a year. May's rise was well above economists' forecasts for a 0.8 percent increase and the biggest since February.
Compared with a year earlier, sales rose 1.9 percent, again the fastest increase since February.
The figures are the latest in a string of signs that British economic growth is gathering pace in the second quarter.
Bank of England Governor Mervyn King said late on Wednesday that a slow recovery appeared underway, although adequate growth was not yet assured and the economy still needed more support from the central bank.
Sales of food grew by 3.5 percent from April, the strongest pace in two years, as supermarkets offered promotions to lure cash-strapped shoppers.
Non-store retailing, including online, grew by 4.3 percent and overall retail sales also bounced back from a poor showing in April, when unseasonably cool weather dented demand, the ONS said.
Consumers' willingness to spend will largely determine whether the British economy can build on recent evidence of a recovery and achieve solid growth after two years of stagnation.
The ONS said retail sales excluding fuel rose 2.1 percent both on the month and on the year, compared with economists' forecasts for rises of 0.9 percent and 0.5 percent respectively.
The British Retail Consortium, which represents larger stores, had previously reported a strong 3.4 percent rise in retail sales values for May, though May retail figures from the Confederation of British Industry were weak.

Open Source Ham – Is that like free range chicken?
If you have not stopped by the #linuxjournal IRC channel yet, I would encourage you to do so. You never know who you will meet or what sort of new ideas will germinate.
For example: the other day, while having !coffee and a danish, I was chatting with our fearless Editor-in-Geek, Carlie, and she was commenting that someone had left the radio on. No, not that radio, the Amateur Radio. This got my attention as I was not aware Carlie had her ticket (she does not - I am working on her - browbeating is the term my XYL uses, but I digress). As many of you know, I too am an Amateur Radio operator - a ham. [I should note that personally, I don't like the term...it does not mean anything, but it is what most folks know us as so...]. And we started chatting.
The history of Open Source software, especially Linux and Amateur Radio, is well integrated. There are as many hackers in the Amateur Radio hobby as there are in Open Source. In fact you could call Amateur Radio the original Open Source project. A number of modern developments in Information Technology, from the radio (d'uh) to the network card can trace their way back to some home brew radio operators working in their basement. The Linux kernel has long supported the AX.25 protocol (a bastard version of X.25 used in early packet transfers via radio) and several popular programs have Open Source analogs. One of the most recent developments in Amateur Radio, the D-Star digital protocol, is a fully Open Source project and is the first in recent memory where a corporation has developed a radio system utilizing the Open Source model.
As Carlie and I were talking, we wondered if there were enough interest in the communities for articles in the Linux Journal about the projects being done in Amateur Radio. Now before you get all spun up, we are not talking about killing off the Paranoid Penguin or converting the wine cellar into a ham shack, but as Dave Phillips has tapped the world of Linux and musicians and music engineers with the occasional article, we think there is interest in the readership for the occasional Amateur article.
Now is your chance. What sort of cool project are you using in your ham shack? Based on an email I sent to the ARRL PIO reflector, there are a lot of projects out there that we could highlight, everything from making it easier for Section Managers to update their web sites to unique ways to inject messages to the radio network via web interfaces to simple radio control software and logging software.
So are you an Open Source Ham? Because, When all else fails…
David Lane, KG4GIY is a member of Linux Journal's Editorial Advisory Panel and the Control Op for Linux Journal's Virtual Ham Shack
speaking of IRC...
you pointed people at #linuxjournal but isn't there also a linux-specific amateur radio room? /mark
Amateur Radio
I got my Tech ticket in the spring and just passed General this weekend. I would LOVE to see a ham/linux article!! Bring it on!! I second the Packet radio idea!
A friend who lives on Marthas
is All A Capella, on WERS/88.9 in Boston. Listen here. Or on the Public Radio Tuner. Or on WERS own iPhone app. Or iTunes (its in the list called Public). They just started tweeting too: @allacappella889. The performances are just freaking astonishing. Youd think they were playing instruments. And harmonies tight enough to make
sweet would love a linux ham article
I have been using linux since debian first started and a ham since I was 12
I have been melding the two passions for several years giving talks and how to's
would love to see something on LJ and perhaps contribute myself if you feel I am worth contributing to
73's from VO1 land
Loren VO1PWF
How about some How to's?
I'm a long time Linux junkie that just got my Technician Class License 6 months ago. I'd love some articles that could help me get started with a fun project. Here are some suggestions of articles I would certainly appreciate:
-Packet radio, data transmission, and networking over the amateur airwaves
-Automatic Packet Reporting System
-Setting up a Linux based IRLP node
Linux and Amateur Radio
Thanks for raising the point of Amateur Radio (I too resist the Ham-thing but have learned to accept it). I would enjoy articles in this field very much. I use Linux in the ham shack and I have had my problems that I could use help with (like serial ports in WINE... ugh!). I have also had many successes. There are also many good blogs and podcasts out there on this topic. The recent article about FPGAs and learning to develop on them was very interesting to me. While such products exist for radio applications (USRP, QSR1, etc.), I would really like to have the skills necessary to design and build my own. Of course there is HPSDR and a couple of development sites related to this effort, much/most of it is open source. In summary, there are many things to cover in this topic that might interest amateur radio operators and others as well.
Linux ham
Give us more. I think a great many hams would be interested in good articles.
Linux HAM Programs
I'd love to see this. I am using GNOME Predict, which is a HAM satellite tracking program. I am sure there are tons of other HAM programs I'd be interested in.
Ham it up
I have not done any ham radio stuff myself, but I know a few people who are involved. It is something I am very interested in and I hope you do start touching on the subject in the Linux Jounral.
Amateur Radio in the Linux Journal
I think this would be a great idea. QST has had some articles in the past but they only skim the surface. I maintain a 100% linux hamshack and would welcome an in depth occasional article. Thanks for a great magazine!
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

It is very highly detailed and oddly enough it was rather warm and cuddly. I immediately placed it on top of a filing cabinet at work (which is where I had it delivered to).I'm hoping to have hours of fun with it and hopefully will be able to use it to add to this years halloween costume.

If he's a peaceful environmentalist who just happens to be lacking a little in the package department, this is all he has. Don't deny him his outlet.

According to Rabbi Shmuley, today's society is so focused on appearance, it's causing people to get caught up in obsessing and changing what they look like. Women especially are haunted by a society that tells them they are never good enough, he says.
Rabbi Shmuley says all plastic surgery must be kept in balance and warns of the dangers of becoming obsessed with it. A woman's beauty is enhanced by her personality, Rabbi Shmuley says, and the most attractive quality she can have is self-confidence and love for herself. Today's Shmuleyism "Stop feeling so inadequate and start feeling special. Do not look at yourself through the prism of self-hatred. Look at yourself through the looking glass of self-acceptance."

(Knicks Fanatics Admin: ROFLMAO. Very Funny)
1. Don't get in line asking questions about the food African. "Who made the potato salad? 'Is it egg in there?' Are the greens fresh? Is the meat in the greens turkey or pork? Who made the macaroni and cheese? What kind of pie is that? Who made it? Ask one more question and Peaceman will punch you in your mouth, knocking out all your fronts so you won't be able to eat anything but soup.
2. If you can't walk or are missing any limbs, sit your ass down until the Village Ambassador Orange & Blue or someone with sense makes your plate for you. Dinner time is not the time for you to be independent. Nibble on them damn pecans and walnuts to hold you over until the Ghost of Orange & Blue or BARF (if he shows up) brings you a damn plate.
3. If you have kids under the age of twelve Like HarlemMD n'em, Lives the Admin will escort their little asses to the basement and bring their food down to them. They are not gonna tear this damn house up this year. Tell them that they are not allowed upstairs until it's time for Uncle GeorgeM, TMan, Kevin Harewood or StatesMen to start telling old NYK stories about the glory days, Bradley, DaveD, Holtzman, Bernard King, Ewing and Oakley. If they come upstairs for any reason except for that--they are bleeding to death cause Augie will break a foot off in their asses!
4. There is going to be one prayer for Thanksgiving dinner! JUST ONE! We do not care that you are thankful that your BBall Star daughter made the WNBA Sparks BronxMD or your wife just got on the cover of Sports Illustrated DLT. Save that talk for somebody who gives a damn. The time limit for the prayer is one minute. If you are still talking after that one minute is up Cooleyhigh, you will feel something hard come across your lips and they will be swollen for approximately 20 minutes. Furthermore, you ain't gettin' no ice from the punch bowl.

Since 2002 Perimeter Institute has been recording seminars, conference talks, and public outreach events using video cameras installed in our lecture theatres. Perimeter now has 7 formal presentation spaces for its many scientific conferences, seminars, workshops and educational outreach activities, all with advanced audio-visual technical capabilities. Recordings of events in these areas are all available On-Demand from this Video Library and on Perimeter Institute Recorded Seminar Archive (PIRSA). PIRSA is a permanent, free, searchable, and citable archive of recorded seminars from relevant bodies in physics. This resource has been partially modelled after Cornell University's arXiv.org.
A variety of physical phenomena involve multiple length and time scales. Some interesting examples of multiple-scale phenomena are: (a) the mechanical behavior of crystals and in particular the interplay of chemistry and mechanical stress in determining the macroscopic brittle or ductile response of solids; (b) the molecular-scale forces at interfaces and their effect in macroscopic phenomena like wetting and friction; (c) the alteration of the structure and electronic properties of macromolecular systems due to external forces, as in stretched DNA nanowires or carbon nanotubes.
Inside Harvard College Observatory in 1904, a young woman named Henrietta Swan Leavitt sat hunched over a stack of glass photographic plates, patiently counting stars. The images had been taken by a telescope high in the Peruvian Andes, and Miss Leavitt was given the tedious chore of measuring the brightness of thousands of tiny lights, something that would now be done by machine. Her job title was \'computer,\' but during the next few years she rose above her station as a tabulator of data and discovered a new law, one that would change forever our view of the universe.
Inspired by the notion that the differences between quantum theory and classical physics are best expressed in terms of information theory, Hardy (2001) and Clifton, Bub, and Halvorson (2003) have constructed frameworks general enough to embrace both quantum and classical physics, within which one can invoke principles that distinguish the classical from the quantum.
A cosmological model based on an inhomogeneous D3-brane moving in an AdS_5 X S_5 bulk is introduced. Although there is no special points in the bulk, the brane Universe has a center and is isotropic around it. The model has an accelerating expansion and its effective cosmological constant is inversely proportional to the distance from the center, giving a possible geometrical origin for the smallness of a present-day cosmological constant.
Entanglement entropy is currently of interest in several areas in physics, such as condensed matter, field theory, and quantum information. One of the most interesting properties of the entanglement entropy is its scaling behavior, especially close to phase transitions. It was believed that for dimensions higher than 1 the entropy scales like surface area of the subsystem. We will describe a recent result for free fermions at zero temperature, where the entropy in fact scales faster. The latter problem will be related to a mathematical conjecture due to H. Widom (1982).
I will describe some recent advances in the simulation of binary black hole spacetimes using a numerical scheme based on generalized harmonic coordinates. After a brief overview of the formalism and method, I will present results from the evolution of a couple of classes of initial data, including Cook-Pfieffer quasi-circular inspiral data sets, and binaries constructed via scalar field collapse. In the latter case, preliminary studies suggest that in certain regions of parameter space there is extreme sensitivity of the resulting orbit to the initial conditions.
While modern theories lavishly invoke several spatial dimensions within models that seek to unify relativity theory and quantum mechanics, none seems to consider the possibility that a yet-unfamiliar aspect of time may do the work. I introduce the notion of Becoming and then consider its consequences for physical theory. Becoming portrays a possible aspect of time that is "curled" very much like the extra spatial dimensions in superstring theories.

The Japanese influences of the 1870s and 1880s came to silver in many forms. The bright-cut designs of the period utilized such elements as flowers, leaves, birds, and branches found in Japanese textiles, but as in 'Chrysanthemum' (introduced 1885), their asymmetrical dispositions were constrained by the Old English forms into which they were cut. Acid etching is the background of the handles into which the flowers are incised and emphasizes the flowers, branches and leaves...
A classic mid-19th century pattern of the coin period, 'Oval Thread' appears with marks by most makers and retailers. The blades are even, without waviness, bites or burrs; the handles are firm, with no splits. There is no pitting. Wear is commensurate with their 150+ years, and have been well cared for. An anchor, Victorian head, and lion are stamped on the blades, indicating a New York maker. The name Phelps is lightly engraved on the handles in period script...
The mark on the knives is for Saglier Freres, successor to Victor Saglier (1809-1894), a well-known Paris Art Nouveau silver maker who worked largely in plate but also solid silver. Sons Eugene and Andre continued the business until after World War II. These knives, 8-3/8" long, could be for lunch, dessert, cheese – or whatever – and probably date from about 1900-1910. The classic form is punctuated with acanthus leaves and can complement many Nouveau or simpler patterns...
Christofle is perhaps France's most prestigious silver maker, dating from about 1840. 'Marly' is its oldest pattern, still in production. In addition to its innovative designs, Christofle also took the early lead on advancing the plating process which it had licensed from Elkington to make wares which were more heavily plated than their competitors and attractive to prestigious customers from all over the world...
The Fiddle Thread pattern is one of the most representative of the coin period. These spoons are completely unmarked but are doubtless (guaranteed) coin silver. They're in fabulous condition – no dents, burrs, not even age-expected surface scratches – surprising for their 150+ years. There are two sets of monograms, an Old English M on the front and a script FH on the back of the handles. Length of the spoons is 5.6 in. and their weight is 98 g.
These are older D & H Pointed Antique / Broad Antique knives – introduced in 1895 – with stainless French Modern replacement blades marked "Brilliant." They are 9-1/8 in. long and bear a lovely Arts & Crafts monogram. They are marked only "sterling handle" which is very common for knives, but I got them with several other pieces of Dominick & Haff of the same vintage with the same monogram, so I'm comfortable with the identification...
"Nordic" in this case could be Scandinavia (Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Lapland and Norway) or northern Germany (which belonged to Denmark at times) or even the Baltic region – the marks are not consistent with official markings of the time and would point to a region more isolated from a guardein, or silver warden...
These are very attractive spoons, 5.25 long, with a twisted shank terminating in a rounded flat end with a Japanesque bright-cut décor that is in keeping with other patterns ca. 1880. The bowls have raised ridges (to keep the ice cream from sticking?) and have very pale suggestions of original gold treatment...
The mark on the spoons is that of Bigelow, Kennard & Co., 925, and probably date from the last quarter of the 19th Century. The form of the handle is Old English, the bowls have the slightly narrower and elongated oval shape associated with early Georgian silver – and would go very well with flatware of that period. They are 5-5/8 in. long and weigh 258 g. A feathery script F is monogrammed to the front of the handle. There are no distractions of any kind...
'Marie Antoinette' was brought out by Alvin Corp. in 1890; it is reminiscent of French Napoleon III patterns, a sort of fiddle form with motifs of laurel, honeysuckle, and cones. The fork is in fine condition. A large Gothic monogram E is in the cartouche of the handle. Length is 6 inches, weight is 16 grams.
Arthur Stone (1847-1938) is often called "The Dean of American Silversmiths." As an English born and trained silversmith, Arthur Stone's work embodied the fine workmanship associated with English silver, and with the individuality he found so appealing in early American forms. He produced both ecclesiastical and domestic silver. The shop he opened in 1901 trained many fine silversmiths in the hand-wrought method. This serving fork, in a Pointed Antique style, is heavy...
Schohay & Ludwig was a short-lived Philadelphia partnership (ca. 1867-73) producing items of both coin and sterling silver. The marmalade spoon is marked coin. Its handle is twisted with a wide flat terminal, engraved with volutes and blossoms; there is a central field with a script monogram EH. The heavy bowl is ovate with notches on the rim, engraved stems and leaves, and repousee fruits and berries. There are traces of gold. It is 7 in...

V.—No. 34 QUEEN STREET
This house, on the west side of Queen Street, belongs to the late Georgian period. It has no special point of interest beyond its boldly projecting bay-window on the first floor, which overhangs the footway. It may be remarked that this type of window, fitted with sashes, though not uncommon in the suburban parishes of London and many county towns, is yet more particularly noticeable in Hammersmith, and is to be met with among many houses contemporary with the building and others which are later in date. When once introduced its obvious advantages would no doubt lead to its repetition in a given neighbourhood, and it is a matter of regret that the severity of the present building laws have banished these very picturesque features from our modern buildings.

The Sysadmin's Daily Grind: HTTP Antivirus Proxy
Browsers live in continual danger of compromise by a malicious site. An intermediate proxy combined with a virus scanner can help.
Just recently, a colleague who was planning a trip tried to surf to a website run by a major city in Germany. Now this may just be a coincidence, or it may be a character defect, who knows, but this fellow ended up mistyping the URL. The page this took him to immediately tried to attack a vulnerability in his browser. One possible approach – besides regular updates, but I'm sure you've all heard that before! – is an anti-virus proxy such as HAVP [1]. An Antivirus Proxy The HTTP Antivirus Proxy install is a simple configure && make && make install. You need to specify your preferred virus scanner – which has to be pre-installed – at the configure step.
