Xastir—Open-Source Client for the Automatic Packet Reporting System
A very useful recent addition to Xastir is the capability to assign tactical call signs to stations and to transmit them across RF or the Internet to other APRS clients (Xastir and APRS+SA are the only two clients that currently decode and display tactical call assignments).
We added this capability just prior to the Seattle Marathon in November 2008 and used it to great effect at that event. It allowed us to assign call signs, such as LEAD and TAIL, to APRS stations helping in the event, without having to change their tracker configurations. This aids reliability when we're not tweaking tracker settings before the event. The old "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" method really does work when dealing with mobile trackers. Don't touch a working tracker unless you have to.
Xastir also was used to good effect in the New York City Marathon. Officials love it for its instant and eye-catching tactical display. You'll see them hanging around the Xastir display when they're not otherwise engaged.
SAR tactical call signs provide similar advantages, assigning TEAM 1, HELO 2, DOGTEAM 3 and similar monikers to teams in the field. Special features have been added to Xastir to support SAR operations.
Example: Seattle Marathon
For the Seattle Marathon, I (Curt) sit in the net control vehicle with the "route" and "start/finish" radio guys. Xastir is running on a Linux laptop with Internet access, along with a remote LCD display for the radio operators to view the current event map. Bob Donnell, KD7NM, has a similar station several hundred feet away at the first-aid station. Trackers are assigned tactical call signs like SAG 1 prior to the event or at the beginning of their assignments.
I listen for runner pick-up or aid requests from the radio operators and send instant messages to Bob. Bob then dispatches vehicles (SAG wagons) via voice radios to pick up the runners. Positions of all SAG wagons appear on both of our maps.
SAG vehicles can't cross the course, so it's tricky getting them to the correct locations. The map display allows Bob to dispatch the vehicle that would be quickest to pick up the runners—you must know how to route vehicles when Seattle is bisected by this event.
We place trackers on the lead vehicles for both the full and half marathons—problematic due to the choice of electric vehicles, which so far haven't completed the mission. If these trackers become unavailable, we shift to monitoring voice reports on the route network and create objects to represent them on the map. The trailing vehicle is driven by a ham who usually can keep its tracker running, although we have the same fallback plan.
Event organizers use the trailing runner information to adjust support needs at the finish line, and we use the information to keep the volunteer hams up to date on the approach of the final runners. The volunteers then share this information with the rest of the marathon volunteers in their area. This helps ensure that we don't leave anyone behind on the course at the end of the day and lets us know when to open streets and when to pick up ham volunteers and equipment.
From its meager beginnings as a Linux-specific application, Xastir has grown significantly in capability but is still tied to OpenMotif or Lesstif for its widget set. Xastir is a large multithreaded and multiprocess program. Developers have talked about splitting Xastir into an SQL database back end plus a dæmon with multiple clients to handle user interface functions. Such clients could use different widget sets, such as Qt, GTK+ or WxWidgets, with correspondingly better integration with modern-day window managers. Rewriting to use Qt without the X11 layers underneath might allow for running on Qtopia embedded devices. In any case, whether we refactor Xastir, it has a bright future as its user base continues to grow and useful features are added continually. See you on the mailing list!

Amateur Radio has been doing digital communications literally since there has been wireless communications. We first used CW (Continuous Wave) or On/Off keying with Morse code. Abbreviations quickly became commonplace. After WWII, surplus teletypes (the heavy, loud electromechanical monsters you see in old movies) became available at reasonable prices and ham radio RTTY (radio teletype) was born, and keyboard shortcuts and abbreviations became even more commonplace.
We use a lot of abbreviations—Q-codes during voice and especially CW conversations (CW or Continuous Wave means Morse code). Even the word conversation has an abbreviation: QSO.
Quite a few of our abbreviations have roots in the Morse code world, spilling over into our e-mail and instant messaging. If we type "hi hi" to you, that means laughter. "QTH" equals location. This is similar to instant-messaging abbreviations that many of you use with SMS messaging or e-mail.
Here are some other common terms:
APRS: Automatic Position Reporting System.
AX.25: the packet radio link-level protocol we use.
digipeater: single-frequency store-and-forward digital repeater for radio.
KISS mode: Keep It Simple Stupid protocol. A simplified protocol used in a TNC for computer control (yes, that really is the name of the protocol).
soundmodem: software to turn a soundcard into a TNC.
TNC: Terminal Node Controller or radio modem.
tracker: a GPS/radio/TNC that emits positions while moving. It may or may not have two-way messaging or a map display.
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.

Illinois lawyer pleads guilty to prostitution charge
BY DAN ROZEK Staff Reporter firstname.lastname@example.com June 20, 2012 2:26PM
Reema Bajaj, 25, a Sycamore attorney, was charged with three counts of prostitution -- including one felony. according to DeKalb Police Lt. Gary Spangler.
Updated: June 20, 2012 5:00PM
A Sycamore attorney admitted turning a trick for $100 less than three months before receiving her law license as she pleaded guilty Wednesday to a misdemeanor prostitution charge. Reema Bajaj, 26, was sentenced to two years of court supervision, fined $2,500, ordered to complete 50 hours of community service work and undergo a psychological evaluation. Bajaj was charged in June 2011 after authorities discovered emails between her and an unidentified man that related to prostitution, DeKalb police said after her arrest. Bajaj accepted $100 to have sex with a man at his DeKalb apartment on Aug. 13, 2010, prosecutor Charles Colburn said in court Wednesday. That was about three months before Bajaj received her law license, according to state records. In return for the guilty plea, prosecutors dropped one felony prostitution charge against her, as well as a second misdemeanor count. The sentence means Bajaj can move to have the conviction expunged once she completes her court supervision. She declined to comment after her hearing, though defense attorney David Camic called the outcome "a fair sentence." The state's Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission will review what, if any, action to take regarding her law license.

Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) Overview
When you're sick, you visit a doctor with an MD after his name. And you may leave the office with a prescription. Your doctor -- and the medication he prescribes -- is considered part of conventional medicine.
If you also visit a chiropractor or acupuncturist for treatment, you'd be in the field of complementary and alternative medicine. It's called "CAM" for short.
International. 3000+ groups. Founded 1974. Religious, educational and emotional aspects of separation, divorce, remarriage and widowhood are addressed through self-help groups, conferences and training programs. Families of all faiths are welcome. Group development guidelines. Newsletter. Membership dues start at $35/yr. (includes newsletter, discounts and resources).

CAM tries to prevent and treat different conditions with techniques such as:
- healing touch
- energy
- herbal medicines
Many CAM therapies have been around for centuries. But do they really work?
There is research to show that some CAM techniques can help with problems like pain and nausea. But other alternative therapies don't have enough medical evidence to determine if they are effective.
Before you try CAM, read this overview. Learn which treatments might actually help you feel better -- and which ones may not be worth the money.
What it is: This traditional Chinese medicine technique uses thin needles to stimulate various points around the body. Each point corresponds to a specific condition. The aim of acupuncture is to restore a balance of energy and good health to the body.
The evidence: Many of acupuncture's benefits still haven't been confirmed. That's because more studies on acupuncture need to be performed. But evidence suggests that acupuncture holds promise for relieving vomiting caused by cancer chemotherapy. It also may help ease some chronic pain conditions, including:
- headaches
- low back pain
- osteoarthritis of the knee
Chiropractic Medicine
What it is: Chiropractors specialize in adjustments -- manipulating the spine to put the body into better alignment. People typically visit the chiropractor when they have pain in their lower back, shoulders, and neck. But many chiropractors claim adjustments can also improve overall health.
The evidence: Chiropractic medicine does seem to provide some relief for lower back pain. But it may not be any better than other back pain treatments.
Studies have also found the technique effective for:
- migraine and neck-related headaches
- neck pain
- joint conditions
- whiplash
But there isn't much data on the effectiveness of chiropractic medicine for some general medical conditions. For example, there's no solid evidence that it can treat asthma, high blood pressure, menstrual pain, or fibromyalgia.
Energy Therapies
Energy therapies use magnets and therapeutic touch to manipulate the body's energy fields and improve health.
Here's a round-up of some common energy therapies:
Magnetic Field Therapy
What it is: Magnets are thought by some to have healing abilities. Centuries ago, people believed magnets could treat everything from gout to baldness. Today, they're worn inside bracelets, shoes, and other accessories.
The evidence: There's no conclusive evidence that magnets are effective pain relievers.
A small study has shown that a magnet therapy called transcranial magnetic stimulation may aid recovery in certain stroke survivors. The results are preliminary. More study is needed to see if the therapy is effective.
Magnets are generally safe. But they can disrupt the function of pacemakers, defibrillators, and insulin pumps. That makes them potentially dangerous for anyone who uses these devices.

No-Nos For Dealing With Your Ex
Not all breakups are clean splits, and you might have to deal with your ex coming back into your life in unexpected ways, or just calling because he wants to be friends. Figuring out what to do in these situations starts with knowing what not to do.
Calling him upWhen you're feeling emotionally weak and in need of attention, calling up an ex and asking him to come over is easy. After all, you were together long enough for him to still care about you as a person, right? Unless you want to start a relationship with this person again, avoid the urge to call him – especially if you had a shaky relationship in the past. Acting like an animal when you cross pathsOK, so maybe he broke your heart, and you'd like nothing more than to tear his eyeballs out in public. Don't do it. If you happen to run into him, act like you're old friends, not just ex lovers. Ask him how he's doing, how work is going, how his mom is. If you don't want to hear about his relationship, don't bring up dating. Be civil, and be human. Comparing yourself to the new ladyCruising through his Facebook photos, finding pictures of his new lass and tearing her (or yourself) down are all too easy. Spare yourself the pain and jealousy. If you're friends with him on Facebook or other social networking sites, delete him or disable his updates in your feed. It might seem harsh, but it quells unnecessary and unproductive jealousy in the long run. Talking about him behind his backSoon after a breakup, many people bask in the fact that they now can say negative things about their exes. If you want to do it, talk to people who have little or no connection to your relationship. Mutual friends might let something slip, which will just make your non-relationship relationship worse. Keeping his things just to make him bitterIf your ex left his favorite shirt at your apartment before the breakup, don't hold it hostage in hopes of reconciling. It makes you look juvenile and will make him bitter toward you. Politely ask him to come get his things, and leave it at that. Keeping things exactly as they were pre-breakupNo one is the same after a breakup, so feel free to change things around. Investigate new hobbies and interests. Head back to the gym. You're a new woman, and the world is your oyster! Excessively reflecting on the relationshipAfter the breakup, take time to look at what you did wrong and what you can do right in the future, but don't dwell on it. Some things just can't be taken back, and there's no use beating yourself up about it. More relationship tips3 Telltale signs he's The One

Marriage Amendment: Where Minnesota Corporations Stand
Here's a great article that looks at where over a dozen Minnesota-based companies stand on the mean-spirited marriage amendment on ballots this fall. The article includes views from the following companies:
- Ameriprise Financial: No public position, it's a state issue
- Best Buy: Solely focused on turning around their business
- Cargill: No public position
- Carlson Cos: No official position (however, I've already posted a couple times about CEO, Marilyn Carlson Nelson and her beliefs that this amendment will do much harm to the state of Minnesota if it were to pass)
- CHS: Does not take positions not directly affecting its business operations
- Ecolab: Does not comment on social issues
- General Mills: Opposes amendment (this blog has been busy over the past week with this news – 1, 2, 3)
- Medtronic: Not taken a position (however, former CEO, Bill George has spoken out in a big way saying that other "corporate leaders need to speak out forcefully against this amendment…")
- St. Jude Medical: Does not believe the proposed constitutional amendment is in the best interests of Minnesota
- Supervalu: Will not engage in this ballot campaign
- Target: Does not believe that a constitutional fight over the issue is good for Minnesota or the state's ability to attract jobs and grow the economy (I blogged about this a couple weeks back)
- 3M: Focuses on business issues, no stand on the amendment
- U.S. Bancorp: Amendment does not relate to their core business of banking
- Xcel Energy: Does not take positions on ballot questions that do not concern energy policy
So there you have it. As promised earlier this spring, I will continue to bring you news as I have it related to where companies in Minnesota stand on the amendment. Let's hope others will follow General Mills' lead this week and speak out for equality.

VIDEO: Bench-clearing QMJHL brawl
By Allan Muir
It's been a long time since fight fans have been treated to a good, old-fashioned bench-clearing brawl, but we got one on Wednesday night after the buzzer sounded to end Game 4 of the heavily hyphenated Baie-Comeau Drakkar-Blainville-Boisbriand Armada QMJHL semifinal playoff series.
This one started not with a bang, but with a gesture. Though it's hard to tell from the video, Cédric Paquette of the victorious Armada taunted the Drakkar's Raphaël Bussières with a dismissive wave as he headed off the ice. No surprise that it was not well received. As the two started jostling, the Armada players who had been skating toward winning goaltender Étienne Marcoux changed direction and headed to the scuffle. The Drakkar then hopped the boards in search of dance partners. The Armada obliged, and the next thing you know, we have a full-on brawl, highlighted by all four goalies squaring off.
It'll be interesting to see how the league handles the suspensions that are slated to be announced early this afternoon. There were 22 penalties handed out at the 20:00-minute mark, with seven players being carded for multiple infractions. Odds are we won't see a few of them for the rest of this series, which currently is knotted up at two games apiece, and some may be lost for part — or all — of the QMJHL final.
We'll update when we hear the verdict.
Here's another look, apparently shot from the press box:

AlmostTI for Blackberry Playbook
I have ported AlmostTI to the Blackberry Playbook. It supports TI82, TI83, TI83+, TI85, and TI86 calculators. You need to supply your own ROM file for whichever calculator you want to use.
If you don't know how to sideload apps see How to play Scramble With Friends on the BlackBerry PlayBook | CrackBerry.com.
Installer version 1.0.3: AlmostTI-pb-1_0_3_1.bar
Installer version 1.0.2: AlmostTI-pb-1_0_2_2.bar
- Requires Blackberry Playbook OS 2.1.
- Removed the case sensitivity from the file loader, general updates, preparation for BB10.
Installer version 1.0.1: AlmostTI-pb-1_0_1_2.bar
- Added checking of ROM file size to help prevent the use of unsupported ROM dumps.
Installer version 1.0.0: AlmostTI-pb-1_0_0_2.bar
The source can also be downloaded from github.
Loading ROMs
Run the application once so that it can set up the folders that it needs then place your ROM files in misc/TI/ROM. Make sure that the ROM filenames contain only capital letters.
AlmostTI-pb is ported from source code written by Marat Fayzullin.Last edited by travisredpath; 03-10-2013 at 11:19 AM. Reason: Moved files to sourceforge because github is removing support for uploaded files.

Make sure that the rom names are all in capital letters (ie. TI83.ROM, TI83P.ROM, etc.). I may have missed checking for lower case names when populating the rom list.
Added you guys to the sticky. thanks!

Got the ROMs to load under the new Dev Beta, but it doesn't seem to work for me.
Using a fresh debrick installation, so I don't think it's a problem with OS corruption. I can see the keyboard layout, but the display window for the calculator shows up as white and keypresses do nothing.
Any suggestions? - 08-17-2012, 10:58 AM #12

Q10 the finest BlackBerry - 08-17-2012, 10:51 PM Thread Author #13
Did a some more testing to look for additional information.
When the RAM file is present, the calculator screen loads grey but unresponsive. When absent, it loads to white the first time and then grey after that.
None of the TI83, TI83+ or TI86 roms I've tried load successfully, but the TI82 rom I've got still works and loads with no difficulty.
Also, letting the Playbook hit the backlight timeout seems to corrupt the RAM file. It crashes the app as the backlight would normally start to dim.Last edited by morlock_man; 08-18-2012 at 11:03 AM.
- 08-21-2012, 03:17 PM Thread Author #16
I think the problem that you are seeing is from your ROM files not being correct for AlmostTI. The only way I could reproduce your errors was to use a ROM file that was bigger than the hardcoded size that AlmostTI was expecting (there was something in it that AlmostTI isn't expecting, I'm not really sure what that might be). I've added a check to AlmostTI so that instead of not loading correctly it informs you if your file is of an incorrect size and then won't load the ROM. I have just added a link to the new installer in the first post. You will need to delete the RAM files of the calculators that aren't working for you before you try a different ROM file otherwise they will load in a bad state and not work. There is also a menu in the new version that you can use to lookup the required sizes of the ROM files.
As for the crash when the backlight starts to dim, this may not actually be a crash. If you leave the calculator idle for long enough it will turn itself off, when it does this AlmostTI closes. If you start the app without a RAM file and there is one created after this event than it was the calculator turning itself off, not a crash. - 08-21-2012, 07:54 PM #17
Great port...Thanks!!!
Tried using 2 83P and a 86 ROMs that matched the byte size, still no go. Made sure to delete the previous .RAM file before trying both.
Also, I'm pretty sure that the corruption/crash is corrupting the .RAM file. If I close the program normally it retains the last calculation shown. If it closes due to the timer, the next time is starts the retained memory shows the first 2 numbers of that stored line repeating and overlapping. - 10-14-2012, 12:01 PM Thread Author #20

Thanks for any information on the missing versions. - 10-14-2012, 10:53 PM Thread Author #23
Re: AlmostTI for Blackberry Playbook
The SE versions as well as the TI-84 and -73 are unfortunately not supported. If you are using the 1.0.1 version take a look at the ROM File Size option in the initial ROM selection window because the name for the TI-83+ rom needs to be TI83P.ROM. The original program was very particular about the rom names and I haven't gotten around to changing that.
Re: AlmostTI for Blackberry Playbook
Thanks for the explanation. I grabbed both BAR files. One bar did object to the file size of the TI83P.ROM. So I UNinstalled it and installed the other.
Something I did find ODD - when opening an Android app, remnants of the TI-splashscreen (or whatever) showed up while Words-w-friends stabilized - I am running OS 2.1 Official. - 10-15-2012, 10:01 AM #25/ device agnosticism or bust!

Rooting and moving to CM10
Getting frustrated with the stock ICS, and am wanting to root and install CM10 now that it appears pretty stable.
Can anyone point me to updated guides about how to root and then how to install CM10 to our specific i777 model with 4.0.3 installed? I've Googled some different guides, but they are for rooting Gingerbread, have links to older files, etc.
Thanks in advance! - 11-01-2012, 04:58 PM #2

At Seth's Broadway Chatterbox I had Melissa Errico as my guest. She's prepping for her new show at Joe's Pub on April 17 at 7 PM. She's a Long Island native and remembers the moment when theatre became her dream. She saw the Broadway revival of On Your Toes at the Virginia Theatre in the early '80s and during the show, she started weeping! Her mother didn't know what was wrong, but Melissa said it was because she was so moved by all the different aspects the show…singing, ballet, tap and wanted to know who those people were and how they got to do that. She was completely riveted and obsessed with it. Cut to: Her first lead on Broadway was ten years later….at the Virginia Theatre! The stagehands heard how obsessed she was with On Your Toes, and one day she came to her dressing room and found that they had gone to the basement and retrieved the original giant placards that were outside the theatre and decorated her room with them! Coincidentally, Christine Andreas who played Frankie in On Your Toes has a very similar voice to Melissa's…soprano but with a smoky grit. Here's a clip of her from 1983 with all the ballet and tap dancers that Melissa was obsessed with.
Melissa got her big break when she was on her way to Yale (yes, she's a smarty pants). She was auditioning the summer before freshman year for Theater By the Sea and…Ringling Bros. Barnum and Bailey circus. I asked her what the H she wanted to do in the circus and she said the audition notice in Backstage said you had to be able to stand on an elephant and she was confident she could do that. Natch. Also, she wanted to be one of those women who hang on a rope from the ankle and spin. Who doesn't? Thankfully, before she auditioned she was spotted in the hallway by Richard Jay-Alexander, who asked her to come in and sing for Les Misérables. She thinks his interest in her was based on her long curly hair, which gave her a Les Miz quality. She sang "A Heart Full of Love" (that has the difficult pianissimo high B flat at the end) and he asked her if she could start in ten days as Cosette on the national tour! Of course, she said yes immediately. Actually, no she didn't! She started arguing with him and said that her B flat wasn't good. He then said, "You should hear what we've hired in the past." Compliment? Insult? Both? Regardless, Melissa decided she could do it but then had to call her parents and ask if she could put off going to Yale! They said yes and she wound up doing her first-year courses via correspondence, or as she called it, "Yale by Mail." She wound up spending so long on the road that she missed a whole year of school. I asked if that meant she had to graduate late and she hemmed and hawed. She finally admitted that she was able to graduate with her class because she began Yale as a sophomore. That's right, she had enough smarty-pants classes/test grades to place out of freshman year! But all of her smarts didn't help when she forgot the lyrics one night to "In My Life." Normally it goes"

The culinary team also designs cakes, offering a range of flavor and filling combinations, such as coconut cake with a cream-cheese filling.
La Bodeguita Meat Market encourages budding oenophiles to entertain and refine their palates during weekly wine-tasting events.

Customers can fill bags or 28-gallon hats with spiny Florida lobster ($12.99/lb.), or line white platters with wild-caught red snapper ($7.99/lb.) and live blue crabs ($5.95/lb.) for patriotic feasts. Friendly staffers also pile lunch plates ($6.99+) to curb midday hunger, and oysters on the half shell ($8.50/dozen) make ideal hors d'oeuvres or platforms for Barbie-doll dioramas of The Birth of Venus.
A salsa-dancing hotspot by night and a palate-pleasing eatery by day, Mango Martini's seasoned chefs churn out a well-rounded menu of breakfast and lunch specialties as bartenders concoct accompanying brews. Palates preferring the yolky flavors of daybreak eats can time travel to prenoon hours with eggs benedict or sausages tucked into pancake blankets. Cuban sandwiches, mac 'n' cheese, and salmon with garlic mashed potatoes conquer guests' cravings for savory noontime feasts. As entrees slowly disappear, unlimited mimosas sate unquenchable thirst with nips of bubbly champagne and tangy orange juice that tango atop taste buds or mambo down guests' bibs.
The gourmet treats at Häagen-Dazs delight discerning palates with a variety of frozen goodies in indulgent flavors. Made from top-quality ingredients, Haagen-Dazs ice creams and sorbets confidently fill cups and top cones ($4.20-$6.00) or blend into shakes ($6.25) and smoothies ($6.50) in an attempt to lose taste-bud tails. Each Dazzler's three scoops of ice cream settle under whipped-cream peaks, with flavors including Dulce Split, Mint Chip, and Rocky Road ($6.95). Patrons select toppings, sauces, and ice-cream flavors to form customizable sundaes ($5.50-$6.95), or deploy straws to taste a Sorbet Sipper ($5.95), which is made of sorbet and then sipped.
