Can technology replace human intelligence?
This week in my Bioelectricity class we learned about extracellular fields. One facet of the study of extracellular field I find interesting is the determination of the field from a known source (AKA the Forward Problem) versus the determination of the source from a known field (AKA the Inverse Problem). Whereas the forward problem is simple and solutions may be obtained through calculations, the inverse problem poses a problem. The lack of uniqueness to the inverse problem means the solution requires interpretation, which may be subjective. We may also apply a mechanism for the interpretation; this mechanism is known as an AI. However, this facet of AI (document classification) is only the surface of the field.
Damon Horowitz gave a recent presentation at TEDxSoMa called "Why machines need people". In it, he says that AI can never approach the intelligence of humans. He gives examples of AI systems, like classification and summarization. He explains that those systems are simply "pattern matching" without any intelligence behind them. If true, perhaps the subjective interpretation of inverse problems is welcomed over the dumb classification. Through experience, the interpreters may have more insight than one can impart on an algorithm.
However, what Damon failed to mention was that most of those AI systems built to do small tasks is known as weak AI. There is a whole other field of study for strong AI, whose methods of creating intelligence is much more than "pattern matching". Proponents of strong AI believe that human intelligence can be replicated. Of course we are a long way off from seeing human-level AI. What makes human intelligence hard to replicate? Can it be simulated? What if we created a model of the human brain, would it be able to think?

Mar 7 2012: Intelligence, definitely. Lewis Smart asked about creativity. Is creativity a form of intelligence? Keep in mind some pretty stupid things have been created.
I think AI can be creative. The programmers simply programs in error and randomness. You know those random playing card programs and random number generators?
So yes, I believe human intelligence can be replaced by tech. As a concrete example, people used to be smart because they knew the definition of words. We have tech now to replace this intelligence: a dictionary.-
Mar 7 2012: Chase,
Your point about how randomness in programs is not truly random brings up a philosophical question. Are humans truly random? There are schools of thought that believe that our actions are very deterministic. In fact, some believe that everything in nature is truly deterministic. If that's the case, then creativity is simply an algorithm we've yet to solve. What you believe is random may actually be very concrete and determined, but it's just seemingly random (like a really good/complex pseudo-random generator)

The herbal tradition of China is valued scientifically, as well as being a fascinating and popular tradition. Scientists working in China and Japan during the past four decades have demonstrated that the herb materials contain active components that can explain many of their claimed actions. Modern drugs have been developed from the herbs, such as treatments for asthma and hay fever from Chinese ephedra, hepatitis remedies from schizandra fruits and licorice roots, and a number of anticancer agents from trees and shrubs. Several popular formulations produced in China, called "patent medicines," are relied upon daily by millions of Chinese (in China and abroad), such as the Bupleurum Sedative Pills and Women's Precious Pills that invigorate the energy, nourish the blood, calm tension, and regulate menstruation, and Yin Chiao Jie Du Pian, which is a reliable treatment for the early stages of common cold, sore throat, and influenza.

Good Tech: Apple dominates mobile enterprise
Apple CEO Tim Cook said this week he wants to get more iPads into big business. The latest figures from enterprise gadget management software company Good suggests it's already happening. Good's RIM-rivalling software comprises a client component that is activated from a company's servers. Good said the iPhone 4S accounted for …
Elephant in the room?
"As Good competes with RIM, there's no BlackBerry support"
So if RIM was the previously (almost) unchallenged incumbent, having glossy charts showing everyone else but RIM is hardly giving a balanced view of the state of enterprise gadget management.
Like a chart of PC operating systems missing Microsoft products.
Re: Elephant in the room?
Still, with RIM's slow but steady slide into insignificance, it says something about iOS vs Android in business, which is what it is coming down to anyway.
And since apparently the original is on top so far, we can now look forward to Android fans calling an entire other category of people sheep.

The Many Benefits of WWID Membership
Welcome to the ISA water/wastewater industry division! Division membership is one of the major benefits of belonging to the ISA. Membership has its privileges, and it's not just your ISA wallet card!
Did you know that many folks who belong to the ISA water/wastewater division don't realize that there is more to the ISA other than the wall plaque and the magazine? I used to be one of those people. In fact, I was a member of the ISA for almost 10 years before I started to really use the benefits of the ISA and the WWID. Sure, just listing your ISA WWID membership on your resume looks good, but there is so much more you can get out of the organization.
One of the most useful benefits of membership is the opportunity to meet other people in your discipline and sector. Unless you are part of a large engineering firm or large plant, it is unusual for more than a few automation professionals to work in a department. I used to be at a firm like that—I worked with a lot of great people, but there really wasn't anyone to talk to if I got stuck on an automation issue. This is where contacts you make through WWID can come in handy.
Through the WWID email mailing list, Linked-In discussion group and symposiums, you can make the contacts that can help you in your job. Stuck on a problem? Send out an email on the discussion list, you'll be amazed how often other fellow professionals want to help and share their knowledge. Looking for new ideas? Subscribe to the mailing lists and read our publications, you'll be surprised on the new techniques you'll discover and the people you will meet. At the end of the day, we can have as much technology as we want but it is the personal connections and sharing of information that helps all of us get the job done.
This brings us to our annual WWAC symposium . Typically held in August, this conference is unique as it caters specifically to the areas of instrumentation, automation and SCADA systems in the water/wastewater sector. The automation challenges involved with disinfection, distribution, collection, and treatment of both municipal and industrial water is the focus of this event. It is only through the WWID that a symposium like this can be held. This is also something that you can't get at WEFTEC, ACE or at the general ISA conferences. Whether you are presenting a new technology in a talk, or coming just to meet new people and find out what is new, this is a great opportunity to find out information that unique to the challenges of automation in the water/wastewater environment. It's also a great way to show to your management that you care about being progressive. Keep your eyes on our newsletter for information about registration, the call for papers, and the various training opportunities associated with the symposium. We hope to see you there!
Think of your WWID as icing on your ISA cake. With your core membership of the ISA you have online access to ISA standards, access to the ISA technical reports library, discounts on ISA publications, the InTech magazine and that shiny membership card that goes in your wallet. All of these core benefits from the ISA are very useful, but it's your WWID membership that adds the networking and information sharing opportunities that we all need for our line of work. Don't be like me; don't wait ten years to make the most of your WWID membership! You'll be amazed about the opportunities that active WWID membership can bring.

O Brother, Where Art Thou? The Effects of Having a Sibling on Geographic Mobility and Labor Market Outcomes
In most industrialized countries, more people than ever are having to cope with the burden of caring for elderly parents. This paper formulates a model to explain how parental care responsibilities and family structure interact in affecting children's mobility characteristics. A key insight we obtain is that the mobility of young adults crucially depends on the presence of a sibling. Our explanation is mainly, but not exclusively, based on a sibling power effect. Siblings compete in location and employment decisions so as to direct parental care decisions at later stages towards their preferred outcome. Only children are not exposed to this kind of competition. This causes an equilibrium in which siblings not only exhibit higher mobility than only children, but also have better labor market outcomes. Using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel Study (SOEP) and from the American National Survey of Families and Households (NSFH), we find strong evidence that confirms these patterns. The implications of our results are then discussed in the context of current population trends in Europe and the United States.Download Info

The search for Earth-like planets explained Video
The search for Earth-like planets explained Video Transcript
-So, as you may notice, it's a little dark outside. It's supposed to be that way 'cause I'm here at the Berkeley campus and I'm gonna go looking for Earth-like planets. Now, I'm just waiting for him to get here. -Kudos, let's go inside. -Okay. -And here's the Remote Observing facility itself. This is Keck I and Keck II. These telescopes are located up high atop a hopefully dormant volcano called Mauna Kea at 14,000 feet. Well, some would say they are the world's best telescopes. You can see pictures of them here. Keck I and Keck II. These telescopes have a mirror that collects the light from the stars and galaxies, and the mirror is 10 meters in diameter. That's 1-tenth the size of a football field, and these mirrors are polished smooth to a parabolic shape to within 1 fraction of a wavelength of light. So, they're enormous mirrors practically the size of football fields. They're polished smooth to collect the light, bring it to a focus. And then what we do is we bring that light not to an eyepiece, but instead, we send the light into a spectrometer, which is a fancy word for prism. And the spectrometer spreads the white light of the star into all of its colors, blue, green, yellow, and red, and we can analyze those wavelengths of light, the colors of the rainbow to measure various properties of the stars. The most important thing is to try to detect planets. We're trying to find small Earth-size planets around nearby stars, stars that are within a few tens of light years of the Earth. And we're also studying stars that have been studied by the Kepler telescope, which is a space-borne telescope and its job is specifically to find Earth-size planets that dim their stars as the Earth cross in front blocking the starlight time and again and again. And so, we're studying the stars that the Kepler telescope has already indicated to us probably have planets. We're trying to verify if they have planets and measure the masses to see if they are truly Earth-size planets, but we found planets. In 1995, a wonderful astronomer in Geneva, Michel Mayor, found the first planet around the star, 51 Pegasi, and then our team found a lot of planets and ever since then, we found hundreds of planets. It's really been just an incredible change for Science, maybe you might even say a change in the way humans view ourselves and our place in the universe because we now know that our Earth and our solar system that goes around the Sun is not unique; there are other planetary systems out there; in fact, billions of them. And so, one of the things we are trying to do is find other Earth-like planets. This is Barnard's Star. This star is the second closest star to us here at the Earth. There's the Sun; there's Alpha Centauri and its system, and then Barnard's Star. So this is an extraordinary star. It's only-- I forgotten now exactly-- It's something like 5 or 6 light years away. You could almost throw a stone. You could pop over to Barnard's Star and borrow a cup of sugar assuming you didn't need the sugar for 700,000 years. The coordinates, the telescopes pointed there now. There's the star right there. The white dot is the star. And see a little black stripe right down the middle of the star? That's the entrance slit of the spectrometer into which the light is passing. And so the light goes into that slit and goes into the spectrometer where the white light gets spread out into all of its colors, blue, green, yellow and red and we analyze them. And that's what shows up over here. This is the actual spectrum and you can kind of see, while you can't really see the colors, but this is sort of a black and blue, white version of the rainbow of colors, and we're monitoring how much light comes from the star at each color, then we analyze that to measure the Doppler effect and the Doppler effect, if it changes with the star, that tells us that it has a planet. -When he was a graduate student, he asked this bold question. Can we find other planets that go around other Suns? He's actually found more than 70 of these extrasolar planets. -And a wonderful privilege and a lucky ride because we thought we wouldn't find any planets. And I thought for many years we would never find any planets and most other people thought we would never find any planets; so, I feel, you know, really lucky that we've been able to find lots of planets, big ones like Jupiter and small ones like nearly the size of the Earth. -I just got down searching for Earth-like planets, and it was super awesome. It puts our place in the universe into perspective.

When teaching place you need to have an enticing place for your dog to go—I like to have a rectangle place with a nice thick edge--You'll see why we need this edge in a little bit. Your dog also needs to have a good understanding of the down command. You'll going to start with a bunch of treats for this exercise. You're going to lure your dog (come Scrubs) tell them to place, and them put them into a down. You won't give them a treat immediately for down—wait a couple of seconds, tell them Yes! Good Place and toss them a treat. Yes good place. Very good. You'll continue to and saying Yes! Good Place. And toss them treats. In your dog's mind lying there is the easiest thing to have treats fall from the sky. Yes, Good Place. Practice from further and further away, be really good with you aim, and that's where the edge helps from keeping the treats from falling off. You'll be surprised how quickly your dog figures this out…this is a fantastic exercise in dealing with nuisance behaviors like begging, barking and jumping up on people.

frozen brake saftey switch
I recently went to start my 2400 to do some plowing. The engine wouldn't turn over. Glow plugs and lights all worked it just wouldn't turn over. It was like the brake wasn't pushed in. I searched for the saftey switch but couldn't find it so I called my dealer. They stated there was a bulletin out that said snow and ice forms in the switch and freezes so the pin inside the switch gets stuck. Once they told me where it was I simply used my wife's hair dryer and had it running in 2 minutes. They have a new switch ordered for me. Just a heads up if anyone runs into this problem.

Under the floorboard that the brake is on. It is as round as a quarter and there is a rubber boot covering it. When the brake is off it pushes the switch in and when the brake is on it releases it.

Vizio VHT510 Video
Vizio VHT510 Video Transcript
Hey, I'm Matthew Moskovciak at CNET.com and this is the Vizio VHT510. This is a sound bar home theater system and it's currently selling for about $320. The main system is pretty standard looking. You've got a long sound bar and a wireless subwoofer, but what makes the VHT510 unique is it includes two rear speakers so you can get a real surround sound effect instead of the simulated surround sound effect that many other sound bars do. Even smarter, Vizio designed it so you connect the speakers directly to the wireless subwoofer, instead of the main sound bar. That means you can place the sub and the speakers in the back of the room without needing to run wires from the front of your home theater all the way to the back. Now, we generally prefer the subwoofer to be placed within a few feet of the sound bar so that you get the best blend between the two units, but if you're willing to live with some sonic compromises, it's a pretty nice setup. The included remote is also excellent. It has a dead simple design with just the power button, volume controls, and a mute button, so anyone can pick it up and use it. And if you slide out the bottom, you get a bunch of additional controls, and it's great that you can easily adjust the volume of the sub right on the remote. Connectivity is around the back and it's one of the Vizio's weaknesses. There's just a single optical audio input and an analog audio input. If you have more than two devices, you can connect everything to your TV and then use your TV's audio output to the Vizio, but many TVs downmix audio to stereo in this configuration, so you're gonna lose out on some of the full benefits of a true 5.1 signal. In terms of audio performance, we were really impressed by the VHT510. Those rear channels really make a difference and you're gonna get a much more immersive sound compared to other sound bars with just virtual sound processing. It did a great job with movies, dialog was easy to hear, and it even handled music well which is pretty rare for a sound bar system. For this price, it's a real standout performer. All together, the Vizio VHT510 is an excellent home theater solution for buyers that want some of the simplicity of a sound bar system with true surround sound performance. We just would have liked a few more inputs on the back. I'm Matthew Moskovciak and this is the Vizio VHT510.

Vizio's competitive home theater sound bar
The Vizio VHT215 is a stylish sound bar with tons of inputs and solid sound quality, especially if you like the ability to adjust the sound. The competing Haier SBEV40-SLIM is a little better overall, but it's very close and the Vizio is definitely worth considering.
The Vizio VHT210 sound bar sports an uncommonly compact design and sounds better playing music than the average in its class, but its input options are limited.

Vizio's S4251w sports rear speakers for unparalleled home theater sonics from a sound bar, although it has some quirks.
The Vizio XVT3SV series' excellent picture quality, thoughtful design, scads of features, and reasonable price combine to make the best value among high-end LED-based LCD TVs today.
Vizio's sound bar is a solid pick -- for now
The Vizio SB4021M-A1 hits a nice blend of features, design, and performance for its price, but better sound bars are coming in a few months.
The Vizio VP50HDTV's bargain pricing will be worth the trade-off in picture quality for many less critical viewers.
The hallmark of Vizio's VO320E isn't "Eco," as the name implies--it's decent picture quality for a rock-bottom price.
The Vizio VP422 is a 42-inch plasma with a rock-bottom price tag and picture quality that, while certainly not perfect, should satisfy casual viewers.
The Vizio 2XVT series offers the best Internet experience we've tested along with very good image quality, all for a price that makes other high-end HDTVs seem steep.
With picture quality decent enough to satisfy most viewers, the affordable, fully featured Vizio GV42L HDTV is one of the best values among big-screen LCDs.

This product left my hair greasier than when it started, which is strange for a dry shampoo. It was powdery and hard to blend into my fine, thin, natural blonde hair.
I have switched the Klorane dry shampoo and it's no fuss, adds volume, and sucks up oil!
I picked up a travel size bottle of Batiste Dry Shampoo in Cherry on a whim. Damn Ulta and those little travel kiosks by the register! Since I don't wash my hair super often sometimes I find I need a little extra umph to get me through a day.
In the past I'd used Frederic Fekkai – Au Naturel Dry Shampoo at twice the price. The problem I found with it was that it was hard to distribute easily. The ketchup style bottle was a bit weird and I lost the cap with in a week. I'd always end up with too much in some spots and so I'd have to work it in vigorously which often would leave my scalp actually feeling dry and itchy later in the day.
I like Batiste's fun scents, but I don't find they linger which is fine with me too. It was easy to get a light application and I didn't notice any ashy color in my light brown hair. I got great volume and a sexy sort of bed head look that I amped up with hair spray. The travel size bottle is small enough to easily toss in my purse for a mid-day pick me up. Of course I love the retro kitsch packaging.

I use the blonde version. I love this stuff! It has a pleasant vanilla fragrance that fades within one hour. I have platinum hair and it doesn't look powdery or like dandruff in my hair. I bought mine at Urban Outfitters for $8.
I really do enjoy this product. I find it's the best dry shampoo I've tried. But the only downside is I do not care for the scented ones and I also just recently bought the "XXL Volume" one. I was looking forward to trying it and getting big bouncy soft hair, but I went to spray it on my hair and my hair felt crunchy, it's almost like I sprayed perfume in my hair. It makes my roots seem more greaser than they were to begin with! But other than that, the regular ones work like a charm! Defiantly repurchasing!

I just finished my second bottle of this and I already can't wait to get a new one. This is probably the best out of the best dry shampoos out there. The price is not very attractive since it is kind of expensive (I buy mine at Winners since they have the cheapest price - even cheaper than Walmart) but it is totally worth it. It definitely makes me feel like the oil in my hair is completely gone when I use it. However, I guess every experience is different in regards to which Batiste product you use (since they come in different varieties).
The first one I tried which I think is the one with the Leopard print is good, the only think that I didn't like about it is the way it smelled. It is too strong and overpowering, I feel like suffocating sometimes.Then I tried a second bottle, which is the pink volumizing one. I really like it a lot since my hair tends to be a tad-bit on the flat side when I don't wash it and it worked perfectly well except for the sticky feeling it leaves my hair when I use it, i suppose it helps with volumizing so whatever, I guess I don't mind it. And also, one of my biggest beefs when it comes to this product is that it would help A LOT if they put a lot more product in there. I feel like a buy a new bottle every so often when I don't even use it a lot :/
My hair is usually oil after 3rd day. To try to save time, hair color and hair breakage I needed a dry shampoo. I wish i had found this years ago!! Works great. Cheap and get well over 15-20 uses per bottle.
More reviews by prettypollyperkins
I have very oily roots which means my hair needs washing every day. I had tried Batiste dry shampoo in the past with no success but thought I'd try it again. I followed other MUA reviewers' advice when spraying it on and my hair still looks greasy. I will finish the can but then I'll probably give up. Shame, as it would have been an absolute godsend if it had worked for me. Its probably not suitable for those with very oily roots, just a moderate level of oiliness.
This is a pretty meh dry shampoo. It left white, powdery flecks on my hair an didn't soak up oil on my roots. I prefer the tresseme one much better.
I absolutely love dry shampoos and am crazy about this brand. They have 5-6 scents that all smell great. The product does come out as a white powder so I do a couple of things to combat having splotches of white in my hair. First of all, with any dry shampoo that comes in an aerosol spray one must shake the can very well before applying. This helps to make sure that the powder hasn't settled in the bottom, if this isn't done regularly you will run out of dispersant before using all the product. Secondly, you have to spray the product holding the can 8" or more away and move the can around so that the product doesn't shoot in just one spot. Also give yourself 30 minutes or more between spraying the product and styling your hair, I have even sprayed it on my hair liberally before going to bed and the next morning I have no white powder residue, all the excess oil is absorbed and I have tons of volume.
Using dry shampoos has helped me extend my blowout and style and has kept my hair in great shape since I am not washing and styling daily. I also use a good boar's hair brush (Mason Pearson) that helps to distribute the oils along the entire hair shaft so that they don't collect at the scalp. If you are using and not getting good results just try lengthening the amount of time you leave the product on your hair before brushing so that it has time to absorb the oils. Hope this helps and that you find the product as useful as I do.

I have very oily hair one day after shower. I had become hopeless trying other dry shampoos that did nothing to my hair. This is absolutely amazing! I am still in see every time I spray my greasy morning hair and it suddenly looks and feels fresh, clean, soft, voluminous! The smell is a fresh baby powder and not too potent. So so in love

Hi. I tried this. Muffins were rising fine but suddenly fell in :( Can anybody tell me what might have gone wrong?Also, In ingredients its written baking soda n in process it says baking powder. Please clarify. Would want to try this again
My first attempt resulted in one of the best muffins I tasted. Thank you for the wonderful recipe.
Tried this recipe but found one trouble that I think the butter quantity in the recipe seems to be lesser b'coz when I made these muffins I found little difficult to swallow.It seemed as if it is sticking to the throat.rest all okay and taste was very good.
it was my first experiment with muffins. my family just loved them. and the amazing taste inspired me to try out many more recipes.
Since i am a non-vegetarian i have tried these with egg too (1/2 egg to the ingredients listed in the recipe). They taste equally great with/without eggs. Yummy and healthy too.
this is one of the greatest recipes of muffins I have ever tasted and tried. hats off to Tarlaji.
i am an ardent tarla dalal fan just because of wonderful recipes like these she innovates. sania can gulp down any number of these delicious muffins with banana and walnut flavour. i too love walnuts and i add little extra amount than mentioned for the extra crunch. i tried to experiment with roasted cashewnut pieces but nothing can beat the walnuts. this recipe is so quick that i dont feel lazy to make it anytime however since sania and i both love it i make it in bulk and refrigerate. don't forget to warm it in micro before eating.

Comments about Autocraft Marine 12V Marine/RV Deep Cycle Service Battery:
I purchased 2 of these batteries in the fall of 2012 for a sailboat to be used for starting and general use radio, bilge pump, etc. The boat was hardly use due to a back injury until recently, midsummer 2013. The motor was run once or twice and as well the batteries being on charge an hour or so once or twice. Otherwise they were sitting in the boat with a dry bilge and no electronics on. I was surprised to find one of the batteries was low on charge while the other was holding a charge.
I was also surprised to find the fluid was low in the one battery. I then checked the other battery it was low also? I will be charging the low battery separate from the good battery but am concerned about it holding a charge.
I purchased these batteries for the new design, light weight, taking up less space. With these batteries you could get 3 batteries where you once had 2 traditional lead cell batteries. I am still excited about have lighter batteries. But I am not sure these are the batteries or the technology is not quite there. If you purchase these batteries you may need to keep a very close eye on the fluid levels, more so than you have needed to with traditional batteries. Hope you have better luck than I have had thus far.

OPO cabins in the Grant for alums and employees, DOC cabins for anybody and everybody, and a couple of random cabins.
Class of '66 Lodge
The new student-built Class of '66 Lodge is a bit different than our other cabins. For more information about this fantastic new student-designed and student-constructed building, click here
Instructional Videos
Come see some great instructional videos filmed at, and centred on, the class of '66 Lodge, but useful for all cabin-goers.
Where can I find out more?
- Read the cabin descriptions.
- Read about cabin reservations (our policies).
- View cabin availability online.
- View Instructional Videos for information about how to light woodstoves, operate gas lamps and properly care for the cabin during your stay.
Who can make a cabin reservation?
- 7 DOC Cabins outside the Grant — anyone!
- 3 DOC Cabins inside the Grant — Dartmouth students, alums, and employees only
- 7 OPO Cabins inside the Grant — Dartmouth alums and employees only
There is also Titcomb Cabin, on Gilman Island in the Connecticut River, which is reserved through the Ledyard Canoe Club .
Finally, it's not really a cabin, but the Moosilauke Ravine Lodge accepts room and meal reservations as well — or you might be thinking of the shelters on the Appalachian Trail which are all first-come, first-serve, no reservations possible.
When can I rent cabins?
- DOC Cabins — three weeks in advance (four weeks for student DOC members)
- OPO Cabins — six months in advance
The DOC cabins are primarily intended for students (whose planning tends to be somewhat short-term) so we allow Dartmouth students who are DOC members to reserve DOC cabins up to four weeks in advance, and everyone else can reserve them three weeks in advance (effectively giving student DOC members first crack at them). But we know alums and employees need to be able to plan their excursions with more notice, so OPO cabins can be reserved up to six months in advance (and wow, do they go quickly six months before hunting season!).
All of the cabins are available year-round, except that we close the Grant down around the month of April for mud season. Also, we don't plow all the roads in the Grant every year (it depends on where logging operations are going on), so some cabins may be far from parking in the winter.
What are the cabins like?
They vary. Dartmouth's cabins were constructed or acquired over many decades, and philosophies of cabin design and construction have varied over time. Sometimes folks want to build cabins with modern amenities, and sometimes folks want a cabin to provide the greatest possible escape from modern life.
Most of the cabins are log structures, one or two rooms, usually with a porch. Most of the cabins are heated by woodstoves (with wood provided to burn), have bunks with mattresses (but no linens, pillows, or blankets), and have an inventory of basic cooking gear: pots, pans and utensils, plates, bowls, glasses and silverware, etc. Most have only outhouses for facilities. See the cabin descriptions for more details on each cabin.
How much do the cabins cost?
All fees are per person/night.
DOC Cabins: $5.00 for DOC Student Members, $10.00 for Dartmouth Students and Non-student DOC Members, $20.00 for others. Free for life members, 50% discount for spouses/partners of life members, 75% discount for children of life members under 18 years of age.
OPO Cabins: $15.00 for Employees and immediate family members (spouses and children under 18), $20.00 for alums and immediate family members (spouses and children under 18) and $25.00 for others.
How do I make a reservation?
For DOC and OPO cabins, first get an overview of the cabin descriptions, and review the reservation policies and procedures. Then check what's available online. Once you and your party have decided on dates, come into the business office in 119 Robinson Hall or call (603) 646-2834, M-F from 8AM-noon or 1:30-3:30PM.
We can not answer questions about cabin availability, nor take cabin reservations by email or fax (because it usually turns into a back-and-forth about what cabins are available what days and it's impossible to keep track of).

Sampling (signal processing)
It has been suggested that Sampling rate be merged into this article. (Discuss) Proposed since September 2013. |
In signal processing, sampling is the reduction of a continuous signal to a discrete signal. A common example is the conversion of a sound wave (a continuous signal) to a sequence of samples (a discrete-time signal).
A sample refers to a value or set of values at a point in time and/or space.
A sampler is a subsystem or operation that extracts samples from a continuous signal.
A theoretical ideal sampler produces samples equivalent to the instantaneous value of the continuous signal at the desired points.
- See also: Nyquist–Shannon sampling theorem
Sampling can be done for functions varying in space, time, or any other dimension, and similar results are obtained in two or more dimensions.
For functions that vary with time, let s(t) be a continuous function (or "signal") to be sampled, and let sampling be performed by measuring the value of the continuous function every T seconds, which is called the sampling interval. Thus, the sampled function is given by the sequence:
- s(nT), for integer values of n.
The sampling frequency or sampling rate fs is defined as the number of samples obtained in one second (samples per second), thus fs = 1/T.
Reconstructing a continuous function from samples is done by interpolation algorithms. The Whittaker–Shannon interpolation formula is mathematically equivalent to an ideal lowpass filter whose input is a sequence of Dirac delta functions that are modulated (multiplied) by the sample values. When the time interval between adjacent samples is a constant (T), the sequence of delta functions is called a Dirac comb. Mathematically, the modulated Dirac comb is equivalent to the product of the comb function with s(t). That purely mathematical abstraction is sometimes referred to as impulse sampling.[1]
Most sampled signals are not simply stored and reconstructed. But the fidelity of a theoretical reconstruction is a customary measure of the effectiveness of sampling. That fidelity is reduced when s(t) contains frequency components higher than fs/2 Hz, which is known as the Nyquist frequency of the sampler. Therefore s(t) is usually the output of a lowpass filter, functionally known as an anti-aliasing filter. Without an anti-aliasing filter, frequencies higher than the Nyquist frequency will influence the samples in a way that is misinterpreted by the interpolation process. For details, see Aliasing.
Practical implications[edit]
In practice, the continuous signal is sampled using an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), a device with various physical limitations. This results in deviations from the theoretically perfect reconstruction, collectively referred to as distortion.
Various types of distortion can occur, including:
- Aliasing. Only theoretical, infinitely long, functions can have no frequency content above the Nyquist frequency. Therefore, some amount of aliasing is inevitable. Aliasing can be made arbitrarily small by increasing the order of the anti-aliasing filter. In a digital system, that increases the amount of arithmetic noise caused by numerical imprecision. Arithmetic noise has a flat spectral distribution, which is generally less disruptive than aliasing.[citation needed]
- Aperture error results from the fact that the sample is obtained as a time average within a sampling region, rather than just being equal to the signal value at the sampling instant. In a capacitor-based sample and hold circuit,aperture error is introduced because the capacitor cannot instantly change voltage thus requiring the sample to have non-zero width.
- Jitter or deviation from the precise sample timing intervals.
- Noise, including thermal sensor noise, analog circuit noise, etc.
- Slew rate limit error, caused by the inability of the ADC input value to change sufficiently rapidly.
- Quantization as a consequence of the finite precision of words that represent the converted values.
- Error due to other non-linear effects of the mapping of input voltage to converted output value (in addition to the effects of quantization).
Although the use of oversampling can completely eliminate aperture error and aliasing by shifting them out of the pass band, this technique cannot be practically used above a few GHz, and maybe prohibitively expensive at much lower frequencies. Furthermore, while oversampling can reduce quantization error and non-linearity, it cannot eliminate these entirely. Consequently, practical ADCs at audio frequencies typically do not exhibit aliasing, aperture error, and are not limited by quantization error. Instead, analog noise dominates. At RF and microwave frequencies where oversampling is impractical and filters are expensive, aperture error, quantization error and aliasing can be significant limitations.
Jitter, noise, and quantization are often analyzed by modeling them as random errors added to the sample values. Integration and zero-order hold effects can be analyzed as a form of low-pass filtering. The non-linearities of either ADC or DAC are analyzed by replacing the ideal linear function mapping with a proposed nonlinear function.
Audio sampling[edit]
Digital audio uses pulse-code modulation and digital signals for sound reproduction. This includes analog-to-digital conversion (ADC), digital-to-analog conversion (DAC), storage, and transmission. In effect, the system commonly referred to as digital is in fact a discrete-time, discrete-level analog of a previous electrical analog. While modern systems can be quite subtle in their methods, the primary usefulness of a digital system is the ability to store, retrieve and transmit signals without any loss of quality.
Sampling rate[edit]
When it is necessary to capture audio covering the entire 20–20,000 Hz range of human hearing, such as when recording music or many types of acoustic events, audio waveforms are typically sampled at 44.1 kHz (CD), 48 kHz (professional audio), or 96 kHz. The approximately double-rate requirement is a consequence of the Nyquist theorem.
There has been an industry trend towards sampling rates well beyond the basic requirements; 96 kHz and even 192 kHz are available.[2] This is in contrast with laboratory experiments, which have failed to show that ultrasonic frequencies are audible to human observers; however in some cases ultrasonic sounds do interact with and modulate the audible part of the frequency spectrum (intermodulation distortion). It is noteworthy that intermodulation distortion is not present in the live audio and so it represents an artificial coloration to the live sound.[3]
One advantage of higher sampling rates is that they can relax the low-pass filter design requirements for ADCs and DACs, but with modern oversampling sigma-delta converters this advantage is less important.
Bit depth (quantization)[edit]
Audio is typically recorded at 8-, 16-, and 20-bit depth, which yield a theoretical maximum Signal-to-quantization-noise ratio (SQNR) for a pure sine wave of, approximately, 49.93 dB, 98.09 dB and 122.17 dB.[4] CD quality audio is recorded at 16-bit. Thermal noise limits the true number of bits that can be used in quantization. Few analog systems have signal to noise ratios (SNR) exceeding 120 dB. However, digital signal processing operations can have very high dynamic range, consequently it is common to perform mixing and mastering operations at 32-bit precision and then convert to 16 or 24 bit for distribution.
Speech sampling[edit]
Speech signals, i.e., signals intended to carry only human speech, can usually be sampled at a much lower rate. For most phonemes, almost all of the energy is contained in the 5Hz-4 kHz range, allowing a sampling rate of 8 kHz. This is the sampling rate used by nearly all telephony systems, which use the G.711 sampling and quantization specifications.
Video sampling[edit]
Standard-definition television (SDTV) uses either 720 by 480 pixels (US NTSC 525-line) or 704 by 576 pixels (UK PAL 625-line) for the visible picture area.
High-definition television (HDTV) uses 720p (progressive), 1080i (interlaced), and 1080p (progressive, also known as Full-HD).
When a bandpass signal is sampled slower than its Nyquist rate, the samples are indistinguishable from samples of a low-frequency alias of the high-frequency signal. That is often done purposefully in such a way that the lowest-frequency alias satisfies the Nyquist criterion, because the bandpass signal is still uniquely represented and recoverable. Such undersampling is also known as bandpass sampling, harmonic sampling, IF sampling, and direct IF to digital conversion.[5]
Oversampling is used in most modern analog-to-digital converters to reduce the distortion introduced by practical digital-to-analog converters, such as a zero-order hold instead of idealizations like the Whittaker–Shannon interpolation formula.
Complex sampling[edit]
Complex sampling (I/Q sampling) refers to the simultaneous sampling of two different, but related, waveforms, resulting in pairs of samples that are subsequently treated as points on a constellation diagram or complex numbers. Usually one waveform is the Hilbert transform of the other waveform and the complex-valued function, is called an analytic signal, whose Fourier transform is zero for all negative values of frequency. In that case, the Nyquist rate for a waveform with no frequencies ≥ B can be reduced to just B (complex samples/sec), instead of 2B (real samples/sec).[note 1] More apparently, the equivalent baseband waveform, also has a Nyquist rate of B, because all of its non-zero frequency content is shifted into the interval [-B/2, B/2).
Although complex-valued samples can be obtained as described above, they are much more commonly created by manipulating samples of a real-valued waveform. For instance, the equivalent baseband waveform can be created without explicitly computing by processing the product sequence[note 2] through a digital lowpass filter whose cutoff frequency is B/2.[note 3] Computing only every other sample of the output sequence reduces the sample-rate commensurate with the reduced Nyquist rate. The result is half as many complex-valued samples as the original number of real samples. No information is lost, and the original s(t) waveform can be recovered, if necessary.
- ^ When the complex sample-rate is B, a frequency component at 0.6 B, for instance, will have an alias at −0.4 B, which is unambiguous because of the constraint that the pre-sampled signal was analytic. Also see Aliasing#Complex_sinusoids
- ^ When s(t) is sampled at the Nyquist frequency (1/T = 2B), the product sequence simplifies to
- ^ The sequence of complex numbers is convolved with the impulse response of a filter with real-valued coefficients. That is equivalent to separately filtering the sequences of real parts and imaginary parts and reforming complex pairs at the outputs.

San Diego was the starting point |
73 Sportsmobile 4x4's made the trip. 23 cancelled, many due to several unfortunate south of the border incidents prior to the rally. |
Alan Feld, President/Owner of Sportsmobile West, his wife Liz and adopted daughter Lucie hosted the rally. |
The rally destination was at the base
of the Guadalupe |
Lots of space permitted everyone to spread out or group together as they pleased. |
Sportsmobile owners are really a great and interesting group of people. They come from all over the country and all walks of life. |
These photos are a sampling of 73 camp sites. |
What an enjoyable way to meet new people, share experiences, and enjoy the great outdoors. Dick Schwenkmeyer |
For some reason one unfortunate fellow (the co-founder of Sportsmobile) wasn't able to share the comforts of a Sportsmobile and had to stay in a snake infested ravine. |
One of the popular activities was hiking. This one was through a beautiful desert oasis. |
Of course everything tastes better outside. The rally included evening meals. Everyone was on their own the rest of the time. |
After dinner entertainment was provided by some very talented musicians and singers around a campfire. |
Somehow a few got separated from the caravan but we are happy to report all finally made it out. We think! |
About 25 miles was through a dry lakebed. |
Tires were deflated on the way in and re-inflated on the way out by an efficient Sportsmobile rally team. |
The final night was spent at the Rancho Tecate Resort and Country Club. Needless to say, the cool water and drinks were first priority upon arrival. The hotel's 5 star restaurant was exceptional. Of course the 12 person mariachi band and more drinks added to the finale of the rally. |
The next morning, late, it was back across the border and onward to varied destinations. |
After the rally four Sportsmobiles headed back south. |
" We'll let you through this time Senor - but next time bring more Tecate. " |
Most of Baja is desert, however the mountains have lush forests. |
Camping on the seashore south of San Felipe was worth the rough ride down. |
It's a good thing we had a "slim-jim" to get into this locked Sportsmobile. |
The Sea of Cortez is beautiful, there are few people and lots of great places to camp. |
Here's one gringo's interpretation of the "Mexican Hat Dance". |
And back to San Diego with a farewell photo. |
