PEABODY — Police say a Central Street woman will be summonsed to court on a charge of disturbing the peace after her car alarm went off two mornings in a row this week.
According to the incident log, police fielded multiple complaints of a car alarm going off on Railroad Avenue shortly after 1 a.m. yesterday morning. Officers responded to the scene and determined that the blue 2007 Honda Civic belonged to a 66-year-old Central Street woman.
Police were unable to contact the woman or turn the alarm off, and the vehicle was towed.
Sgt. Robert Waugh said the department had fielded previous complaints about the woman's car alarm and that attempts to reach her on several different occasions had failed.
According to a previous incident log, an officer responded to Railroad Avenue at about 1:45 a.m. on Tuesday night for an alarm that kept "cycling and sounding." The officer was initially waved down by a person who reported someone had attempted to gain entry to a vehicle — the same Honda Civic that was involved in yesterday morning's incident — but an area check didn't turn up anything suspicious, aside from the car alarm going off.
"Officer checked the vehicle," wrote police. "It is secure. Officer will attempt to locate owner to correct."
Police wrote later: "Officer was not able to locate the owner."
A second report of a car alarm going off on Railroad Avenue came in at 2:05 a.m.

Madison (WQOW) - Tony Evers calls it an exciting and challenging time for public education.
The state superintendent of schools began his second four-year term on Monday and he was critical of the expansion of private school vouchers statewide. "At the same time, the very idea of public education itself is being called into question. In a state that has always prided itself on our strong public schools, educators have been declared enemies, communities have been divided, and resources have been drained. At the state level, many of those in power have tied themselves up in knots about how to expand choices for the few, without focusing on their constitutional obligation to serve all Wisconsin students," said Supt. Evers.
Evers singled out a local school district during his state address on Monday. He said the Cardinal Manufacturing program at Eleva-Strum is one story that embodies what public schools are all about. Evers toured the school in February and saw the program, which focuses on metal fabrication. The class is run like a business. Students do everything from soliciting orders to the piece work to shipping. The program has been recognized nationally through Modern Machine Shop Magazine.

Hello Northeast chapters! As I hope you all have heard by now, December 4 is our Northeast Regional Advocacy Institute at Tufts University in Boston. This is a fabulous event every year, very interesting and re-invigorating for the chapters that attend. You'll hear about some issues PHR is currently advocating on, get new ideas for human rights education and advocacy, both on campus and in the wider political sphere, and meet some other equally motivated students. It's also a great opportunity to network with each other, especially chapters that are near you, to coordinate joint actions and events.
At this year's Insitute, we'll hear from such exciting speakers as PHR CEO Frank Donaghue (who is always a treat), a representative of the Asylum Network, an expert on health and human rights in Burma, and a resident from Dartmouth, who will tell us about keeping yourself active in human rights advocacy through residency, something I'm sure we're all interested in.
So, everyone should come, I promise it will be worth taking the time out of your busy schedule. You can register here. (And on that note, everyone in your chapter should also register themselves to receive updates and opportunities from the PHR National Student Program – you can do that here.)
Hope to see you there!

Team Ratings
Víctor Valdés
A little weak for the goal, but otherwise had very little to do. A desperate shot from Gomez late on was his first real save.
Scored the first goal of the game with an opportunistic rebound, and could have had a second late on had he elected to shoot rather than pass after a great run out of defence. Did what he had to do in defence with little fuss.
Adriano Correia
Did not miss a beat filling in for Dani Alves on the right side of defence, constantly overlapping and looking to get in threatening positions in the attacking third. His third goal, a confident finish after a great run from deep, was just reward for his performance.
Jordi Alba
Not at his marauding best today, but still managed to support the attack effectively, and defend relatively solidly on his side of the back line.
Facilitated the attack superbly from deep, keeping the ball moving from left to right, getting everyone a touch on the ball. Bilbao let up their pressure in midfield after the initial exchanges, so he was never given a stern test for most of the game, and allowed the time and space he needed to dictate proceedings.
Quite simply magnificent, as his raw technique when running with the ball was a sight to behold. Showed his customary ability to wriggle out of the tightest of spaces, and some of his link up play was a joy to watch. The only blot on his performance was a bad miss from close range in the first half.
J. Mascherano
Completed what was required of him, but not really given much to think about by Bilbao.
Heavily involved in the attack, he was superb in his movement from deeper positions to give his team an avenue forward. Had a few tries at goal, with only the alertness of Iraizoz denying him a goal in the first half. Still, he set up Adriano's strike on the stroke of half time with a quickly released through pass, before finally getting his goal with a cool finish.
Was not required to fulfil too many defensive tasks today, but still mopped up effectively in front of the defence, while recycling possession in his usually efficient manner when Barca needed to reset their attack. One key recovery of the ball set the events of Barca's fourth goal in motion.
L. Messi
Moved to within one goal of Muller's record with another superb display. His first had an element of luck about it - and could have well been ruled an own goal - but his second was pure class, a confident finish with his right foot. Simply unstoppable once he gets in full flow.
Did not always seem himself today, as on different occasions, his first touch and shooting let him down. Rather overshadowed by the scintillating form of the rest of the Barcelona offensive players. Still put in a good spell of effort to assist Messi's second though.
Athletic Club
Made a few good saves from Fabregas and Messi shots, but was a little shoddy with his handling of the ball, costing his side a goal.
Like the rest of the defence, he had no answer for Barca's play in the offensive third and was beaten numerous times.
F. Amorebieta
An ugly clearance helped a Messi shot over the line and he never recovered, looking nervy whenever he was faced with a challenge.
Torn left and right by Iniesta and Messi, and was left helpless on the right side of defence. An easy obstacle to bypass.
Given the slip numerous times by Adriano out wide, and simply could not keep up with the pace of the Barca attack.
Gave his team precious little out on the right wing, as he never had close to enough service to make a difference. Isolated and frustrated.
Did well to clip to Gomez for the lone Bilbao goal, but otherwise, failed to inspire much in the middle of the park.
Ander Herrera
Apart from one crucial last-man tackle to stop Messi, he contributed nothing of note and was little more than a passenger in midfield.
Scored the only goal for Bilbao with a cool finish, and was the lone outlet of attacking quality for the visitors. Had the rest of the team matched his performance, Bilbao would have definitely been closer.
Restored to the starting line-up, but contributed absolutely nothing before his withdrawal from the field.
De Marcos
Left chasing shadows in vain time and time again as Barca were simply too dynamic in the middle of the park for him to get a look in.

At dinner we met our Waiter, Santos, and Assistant Waiter, Mylene. I have nothing but great things to say about this duo. They are probably the best wait staff we have had yet. They got to know all of our names and our individual needs. We had three great sea days. It was warm enough the first day for people to be in and around the pool. I played Bingo and we visited the Casino a lot. Since we were in a Grand Suite we had access to the Concierge Lounge. Reyno, the Concierge, had emailed us prior to boarding outlining the Perks with a G.S. He acknowledged everyone as they entered and made you feel welcomed. The Lounge is very small and you have to get there 15-10 minutes early to get a seat. Since we were traveling with friends we split our time between the Concierge Lounge and the Viking Crown Lounge where they held a nightly Diamond Event. The crew on EOS is the very best; they go overboard to make sure you have a good cruise. They all say Hello and have a smile on their faces. The food was okay. RCCL has gone downhill in that department. We went to CHOPS twice and that was excellent. EOS is showing her age but doesn't detract from your cruise experience. She is due for dry dock in December.
We went to five different Ports. Tortola, St. Maarten, St. Johns, St. Thomas, San Juan, and Labadee. We rented a Cabana at Barefoot Beach. This was our third time renting and it was great. The upgraded buffet was very crowded since LOS was also there and Nellie's Beach guests were able to eat at the upgraded buffet.
We had a wonderful time coming back into Baltimore. We love the sea days. There is always something to do. The Quest was played on the fifth day instead of the next to last. It was the night before a Port and that made for a very late night and early morning. Disembarktion was extremely easy and we were off the ship and home by 9:30am.
Once again a great time was had on Enchantment. Looking forward to sailing on her again. A great bunch of Cruise Critic Members made the trip even more enjoyable.

This Orlando Sentinel article says the Florida Board of Education could decide in December whether to ban chocolate milk from Florida schools. Only the District of Columbia has eliminated flavored milk in the United States.
With the banning of chocolate milk, sugary drinks and sodas also would be eliminated. Many schools already don't sell sodas on school campuses during school hours or where they are accessible to students.
The reasoning is that flavored milk has a lot of sugar. But opponents of the idea say children won't drink the regular white milk.
I remember similar arguments over schools serving surgared cereal for breakfast. Parents were opposed, but supporters said having children eat breakfast that had some nutritional value was better than having them go hungry.
What are your thoughts on the debate over chocolate milk?

A good speech addressing some of the critical issues for the next generations. I am surprised that he didn't mention climate change, which he has openly blamed on the Hurricane Sandy that devastated large parts of his city.

What about the 32 oz. big gulp!
on Jun 17, 2013 at 5:06 pm
Bloomberg said it is "national suicide" for the U.S. to educate foreign students and then force them to return to their home countries.
Really appropriate for a Commencement speech.
The Post says he also talked about gay marriage, another really appropriate subject for a Commencement speech.
You might ask where we are now, and how we got here.

The production design and elaborate stage build for the 2010 Essence Music Festival (produced by Rehage Entertainment) might be looked at as a prototype for its effort to fuse elements like lighting, scenic, audio, and video—to combine these assets into one compact stage that is uniform yet an organic and fluid sculpture.
I approached this process with the mindset similar to that of a car designer, one who designs where and how metal bends to meet glass, how glass curves to become the windshield, how these materials then coalesce with technological assets such as LED lighting, speedometer, compass, etc, all to create one comprehensive organism that can "do it all." The same went for this year's stage; it served as a screen for I-Mag content and video, as well as a projection surface, and appeared differently from various viewing angles due to the rounded shape and complementary video content.
The 2010 stage was an endoskeleton structure consisting of two fluid volumes utilizing video mapping and large scale projections to create one uniform sculpture. To expand upon the 2009 production design, a larger volume for actual performance space was created on stage, allowing performers to get out of the main center deck area. This stage sculpture sat atop a glossed black surface, with two additional side catwalks, providing the ability to move far left and right directly in front of two curved screens comprising Barco MiStrips, and alongside the lower projection surface of the stage. Another decision was to create two areas within the canopied projection area that were masked out into an organic shape that could switch from video to I-Mag content. This was targeted toward the audience seated in the upper levels of the Louisiana Superdome, allowing special performance moments and action on stage to be seen on these rooftop canopies.
To eliminate hanging points from previous years, the stage frame was designed as a fabric shell mounted to two stage roof structures measuring 50' wide by 40' deep by 58' high from 24"x 60". Box trusses were built by Premier Global Production (PGP) at stage left and right, with the curved aluminum pipes (directly extracted from RE:BE's wireframe model to accommodate the organic shapes) mounted to these towers. Event Producers Inc. produced the aluminum curves and created the spandex roofing system over PGP's truss towers. John Clark functioned this year as the show's lighting designer, and PGP provided all lighting equipment and trussing. Clark needed to create corresponding lighting moments for areas that could not be reached by the projectors (i.e. the VIP area or center downstage screen). The video mapping was done through XL Video by software operator Emmanuel Zugler. Using the Vioso Presenter system, Zugler made a significant time investment in perfecting all elements of this complex architecture. Overall, this was a great achievement for such an elaborate build in such a short amount of time.
This year, the downstage center screen (surrounded by an ellipsoid frame) functioned as a stage "curtain" and backdrop during set changes, to visually block the activity on stage and catered to sponsor moments and special announcements. The spandex frame created a larger vision block, as well as additional projection surface area when in its highest position above the lighting rig. The screen hovered above the action during performance, showing the Essence logo or I-Mag content, but was brought down and docked into the ellipsoidal MiStrip areas to create a vision block during set changes and backdrop for all special announcements.
Event Producers were the general contractors for this project, manufacturing the stage and delivering video and projection equipment (provided through XL video). During the pre-production phase, I worked with 3D designer Seyavash Zohoori on custom production design vignettes to create a general festival look. Using my organic design, including ink drops transforming into fluid masses that took on the shape of the stage, similar narratives were tested in various 3D animations for the projections. From digital ink and liquid particle animation to real life footage of ink drops, such effects (by Dana Hunt) were revealed over the surface. Once onsite, the general show look was created and finalized for the Essence Music Festival. Due to the fact that it was the 40th anniversary of Essence magazine, a tiled magazine cover look from the past four decades was projected over the canopied canvas, with covers interchanging in a fade in fade out transition projection technique. Specific content—elements and logos for Raphael Saadiq and Earth, Wind, and Fire—was created on site by a full production customization team led by Hunt. It was essential to brief each main stage artist's LD team how to utilize the projections and stage elements in order to blend together and maintain the overall production design.
Every year, featured sponsored moments are spliced in between each performer's set lists, so this year custom vignettes were made for the sponsors. Another goal regarding sponsor presence was to produce something more dynamic and relevant than the classical vinyl sponsor logo banners, typically hung either next to the stage or added to a stage scrim. Zohoori built custom projection content on site after reviewing each sponsor commercial segment. For example, Army was given a camouflage look projected over the entire surface, while a red and white bubbled effect was created for Coca-Cola. This made each sponsor appear unique yet catered to the integrative overall festival design aesthetic. In addition to the single sponsor moments, a sponsor collage was generated, allowing each sponsor logo to appear in different areas on the stage surface through a dynamic rotation of images.
Rehage Entertainment also took on the role of producing Janet Jackson's performance for this year's festival, allowing the group to work closely with her team, including her designer, Vince Foster, who had created her '08 tour. Communication and content sharing began four weeks prior to event day. Foster, Zohoori, and I were working on custom applications of Foster's existing library for the stage. Once Foster was onsite, he teamed up with Matt Webb, the video programmer, to program the show. The projection content, achieved by 10 Barco FLM R22+ projectors , was a strong element in producing one uniform presentation, by bridging what was shown on the I-Mag content on the Chromatek 6mm screen, the Pixled F-7, and the Pixled F-40 upstage screens.
Stay tuned for plots, renderings, video, and more from Beese's design.

Distance Education and Low Residency Programs
Several MEAC-accredited midwifery schools offer at-a-distance or low residency programs. These programs enable students to complete much of their education through an online format and through local preceptorships and apprenticeships (when available). Each of these individual programs may involve different amounts of time spent away from ones home to complete graduation requirements.
If at this time, there arent any MEAC-accredited schools physically located in your area that you could attend on a weekly basis, one of these at-a-distance or low residency programs might be the best choice for you. These programs were designed because many aspiring midwifery students, like you, are not able to or are not interested in relocating to attend school and yet we need more midwives all across the country!
The schools that offer at-a-distance or low residency programs include:
National College of Midwifery,
National Midwifery Institute, and
Bastyr University Department of Midwifery.

I've been readin this article.
And here is the thing that surprised me.
Under "the most common reasons for applications failing the tests" you can see.
2.# The application should only create files on the drive it was installed onto, unless user has explicitly given permission for the files to be installed elsewhere.
Is this a condition for both 2nd and 3rd edition, or is it a 3rd edition restriction only? What does it mean "unless user has explicitly given permission"? Should it be a part of the instalation process, or maybe I should have a dialog asking for permision every time I want to write to such a file?

Police launch hunt for hit and run driver
Updated 6:35pm Tuesday 4th February 2014 in News
POLICE are hunting a driver who failed to stop after hitting a pedestrian leaving him with a broken arm and leg.
Officers say it is possible the motorist may have thought they had hit an animal and not aware that a pedestrian was involved.
The incident happened at around 2am on Sunday on Stoneham Lane near junction five of the M27.
Police say the vehicle was travelling towards Chandlers Ford when it collided with the 31-year-old man, who suffered a broken arm and leg.
PC Martin Vine said: "With very limited lighting along this stretch of road, it may well be that a driver believed that they had been involved in a collision with an animal and is unaware that a pedestrian was involved.
"However, I do need to speak to this driver, so if it was you or you know who it may have been, please contact me."
Anyone with any information is asked to contact PC Martin Vine at Totton Roads Policing Unit on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

This book of photographs arose from my project to build a portfolio of abstract images that might be used as a submission for a Fellowship of the Royal Photographic Society. The first twenty images in the book were the ones I finally selected, and although they were not necessarily the best, they hung together well for the presentation. I am pleased to say that my Fellowship application was successful under the Visual Arts heading in November 2012.
Although only twenty photographs were used in the submission to the Royal Photographic Society, there are many more images in the book.

Article By: Harvey Finkel
The good wine folk of the region avoid the adjective Alsatian, preferring the awkward use of the noun, Alsace, as adjective, i.e., "Alsace wine" in fear of confusion with the British term for German shepherd. They should be reassured: their wines are not dogs.
I like to imagine that Rodney Dangerfield's house wine was Alsatian, for among the world's fine wines it is accorded the least respect – unjust, unfortunate, and in part self-inflicted. Fresh from an educational visit from representatives of fine wine producers of Alsace bearing many tasting samples, I would like to review the high points of the region and share my impressions.
The wines of Alsace are some of the most precise, gracefully aging, food enhancing of all. The vast majority are white and are entitled to an AOC designation. Described as made from German grapes by French methods, they seldom see oak or undergo malolactic fermentation. Almost all are made of one or another single variety. They maintain an unusually high general level of consistent quality. Alone of all French wines, they have been entitled to name themselves by their varietals, but confusion is likely now that administrative gnomes have decided to widely extend the privilege. We'll encounter several other cases of confusion.
Alsace, occupying the northeast corner of France, is another lesson that living in interesting places is usually punished. Warring armies have marched back and forth through the region beyond memory. Although resolutely French, it evinces an essential mixture of the Germanic. The region retains great charm and offers a rich cuisine. It presents well-preserved echoes of medieval times. Once producer of plonk, Alsace began to tentatively shift toward quality wine production only after the Great War. The movement really gained momentum midway through the last century. The Germanic names of the profusion of unfamiliar sites and the number of grape varieties continue to confuse consumers, although the varietal labels are essential to rational purchasing.
The best growing sites are found on the southern and southeastern slopes of the eastern foothills of the Vosges Mountains, at between 18O and 4OO meters of elevation. The mountains provide a rain barrier and a wind break against the Atlantic weather moving from the west. Days are sunny, nights cool, winters cold, rainfall sparse. Alsace is close to the driest part of France. Its soil profile presents a mosaic of 13 to 2O different types, each likely marking the vines, and thus the wines, it nurtures. The vines are trained high. Yields are high, but have been coming down.
Riesling leads in quality and in plantings (22%). It can age astonishingly long, and then linger on the palate after tasting equally astonishingly. Penetrating and complex, it may be the greatest of unsung wines. Pinot Gris (15% of plantings) is often of thick texture, spicy and powerful, ready to take on almost any challenge. Gewürztraminer (19%), the iconic, most characteristic wine of Alsace, aromatically evokes roses or litchi. It is rich and fruity, and may fill in with foods, especially Asian, that other wines misfit. Muscat d'Alsace (2%), the last of the "noble" four, is aromatic, grapy, smelling as likely sweet, but, surprisingly, properly fully dry. It is mainly Muscat Ottonel, often with some Muscat Blanc blended in.
Pinot Blanc (21%), or what passes for Pinot Blanc, is Alsace's second most planted variety. At its best, it can be a fruity, unaggressive wine with Alsatian character. But we have the auxerrois saga. Auxerrois, or, in full, auxerrois blanc de Laquenexy, is widely planted. It is frequently blended into wines labeled Pinot Blanc, to an unknown, even majority, proportion. Vines thought pinot blanc are turning out to be auxerrois, which is likely related to chardonnay, and possibly a member of the pinot family. Auxerrois in Alsace is sometimes called klevner or klevener or clevner or clevener. (There is a "real" klevner de Heiligenstein, grown locally near that village, that is actually a strain of savagnin rosé. Some pinot noir in Switzerland is also called klevner.) Auxerriois is an important component of Edelzwicker, Alsace's multivarietal blend. It can provide good body and fruit. Some illegal alien "chardonnay" in South Africa is really auxerrois.
In Alsace, auxerrois gris has been a synonym for pinot gris, and auxerrois blanc for chardonnay in the French Moselle. Valdiguié, a red grape of southwest France, was once called auxerrois. And auxerrois continues to be the local name of malbec in Cahors. "Pinot Blanc" in Alsace may contain some Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir, but how bad is that? Auxerrois means "of Auxerre", which is a town near Chablis. Had enough?
Sylvaner (8%) can give a light, tart wine. Pinot noir (1O%), last of the three certified pinots, is made into light red or rosé. A number of minor varieties, such as chasselas, are seldom bottled on their own.
After much internal debate, no doubt leavened by local politics and vested interests, just over 5O grand-cru vineyards have been designated. The selection is marred, however, by the charge that some are undeserving or overextended and by the refusal of some of the owners of the best vineyards to be included. Most of the grand-cru vineyard names are unfamiliar. Only Riesling, Pinot Gris, Gewürztraminer, and Muscat d'Alsace qualify, with one or two exceptions.
When I first made the acquaintance of Alsatian wines, nearly all but the late-harvest editions were bone dry. Some Gewürztraminer fittingly retained a modicum of residual sugar. Lately, however, although most wines are dry or nearly so, it ain't necessarily so. I well remember dining out with five others a few years ago, and being asked to order wine to accompany the fish. Unspoken was the reasonable expectation that it would be dry. I ordered a Pinot Gris made by an Alsatian house of repute, one that I thought could be relied upon for well-turned dry wines. We were surprised that the wine turned out to be distinctly sweet. I received five funny looks. The cause of the shift is unclear. I've asked winemakers, who often recite answers worthy of presidential candidates. Three reasons I've heard may make sense, likely in combination. Global warming, which has advanced harvest by as much as a month, has led to greater ripening, thus more sugar. Reduction of yields may also enhance concentration of sugars. The deliberate, though hardly admitted, choice of some of Alsace's hundreds of winemakers to pick later and even arrest fermentation before completion because of their own individual tastes or a mistaken perception of market demands, likely explains some of the trend. Demands that labels clearly indicate the wines' levels of sweetness so far have been met halfheartedly. It is recognized that the same residual sugar concentration will taste more or less sweet in inverse proportion to a wine's acidity, but that can be accounted for if the effort were to be made.
There are two divisions of late-harvest wines. Vendange Tardive (literally "late harvest") wines may be dry or moderately sweet, and may be touched by "noble rot". Their hallmark is intensity. Sélection des Grains Nobles (selected pickings of botrytis-affected grapes) are very sweet, the equivalent of German Beerenauslesen. Each category has prescribed minimum sugars at harvest. Like Grand Cru, they are limited to the four "noble" varieties. Realize that the grands crus and the late-harvest wines add up to a vanishingly small proportion of Alsace's wines.
Crémant d'Alsace, Champagne-method, good-quality sparkling wine, encompasses 22% of total production. Less sensitive than Champagne on average, their somewhat broader flavor profiles and spice tend to make them more suitable to accompany an array of foods. The grape varieties authorized to participate in these blends are pinot blanc (and, perforce, auxerrois), pinot gris, pinot noir, riesling, and chardonnay.
For the wine merchant, Alsatian wines can be difficult, requiring hand selling. For the consumer, these are reliably high-quality, finely focused, gracefully aging, distinctive wines of character, often less expensive than wines of like quality from elsewhere. I still reflect back with gratitude to the wine merchant who introduced me to these wines several decades ago. They are superb with a wide variety of food. Think of them when contemplating your choice.
Confirmation of my contentions came in the form of a complex, multicourse dinner escorted by ten flawless wines of Alsace, arranged by the region's US agency and executed by Tony Maws at his Craigie on Main in Cambridge. Mostly Rieslings, Pinots Gris and Gewürztraminers, the wines ranged from dry and crisp as a bread stick to luscious and concentrated enough to float an ocean liner, always complementing and complimenting perfectly dishes delicate and dishes dense with flavors and textures. Even the wines of less noble grapes, a Crémant af auxerrois and pinot blanc and a field blend of five varieties, played elegant duets with their assigned foods.

The evolution of the future: hands-on with the latest version of the Oculus Rift
The Oculus Rift VR headset has changed significantly since we last wrote about the hardware we saw at QuakeCon, and at PAX Prime I was able to sit down with the team at Oculus to see the next generation of the hardware. They stressed that the finished developer kit will be much cleaner than the hardware we were able to use at PAX, but there had already been much work done to improve the design and usability. The cabling has been cleaned up significantly, the hardware on the front of the unit had been organized to make it look more like a finished piece of hardware, albeit one without a plastic shell, and it was much lighter than the previous unit I had tried. If you look at the images from our original story, you can see the vast improvements in the fit and finish. I praised the newest headset, but Oculus' Palmer Luckey waved away the compliment. "The jump from that to this, and then from this to the developer kit? It's going to be crazy," he said. They called my attention to the single cable that connected to the top of the headset. "We have a really nice cable," Nate Mitchell, the VP of product for Oculus VR, told me. "That HDMI cable is actually really thick. We have a lighter cable that's much nicer." Both Mitchell and Luckey can walk you through the hardware and name all the different ways things will improve before launch, including the HDMI port itself, which will be lighter. Everything can be shaved down, made better, improved. I was also able to see the latest version of the breakout box that powers the Rift. The hardware came in a bulky box that sat on the desk, but Luckey opened up the prototype to show how much of the hardware could be removed to create something that's much smaller. The Rift itself will require a single cable that runs to this box, and then the box is connected to your PC. In the developer kit they said the box will become something like a pendant that you could wear around your neck or clip to a belt; it will be much smaller and lighter. I was also able to see an example of the optics that allow you to focus on the screen that's so close to your eye. "This is a cut lens. The optics are a little bit different [in the working hardware], but that's very similar. If you look at it, you can tell it's not a perfect curve. It gets flatter as it goes. It's not a perfect sphere, it's a non-linear curve," Luckey said. He described the challenges of making larger optics that deform as they cool. Like the images in the Rift, the optics are simply poured incorrectly, and as they cool they deform predictably into the correct shape. Luckey proceeded to pop my glasses on his own face to test my prescription, and wondered aloud how I could see anything. I do, in fact, have a very strong prescription. This is what it's like to live in a world where everything is a solvable problem. "Your glasses actually have the opposite effect of ours, since they bow out," he explained. "So you're actually losing resolution when you look at things like computer monitors. I wonder if we can change the optics so that you have like, super-acuity at the center. But I can't do that, because I'm doing this." He motioned to the Rift, as if he was sad he didn't have the time to give me super-vision. Luckey also said a good strategy for the developer kit is to buy a pair of inexpensive glasses, pop out the lenses, and affix them to the front of the included optics. For $30 extra you can hack together your own "prescription" Rift. Here comes the fun part, playing Doom 3: BFG Edition. Not much has changed; the headset is lighter and Luckey said that they're working on a system where he can use a microphone to speak to people through the headphones as they play. It's also to get wrapped up in the game, and there's no simple way to communication with people wearing the headphones yet. "You don't know how many members of the press we just lose," Mitchell said. Once you put on the headset and the headphones, it does feel like you leave the room you're physically inhabiting and exist in the game itself. It's hard to remember that there are other people around in the "real" world. When I watched the hand of my virtual space marine reload my gun, I felt a wave of vertigo since my own hand hadn't moved. My brain was having trouble separating what my real body was doing in contrast to what I was seeing and hearing in the virtual world. The lighter headset and improved cabling makes it much easier to move your body while you play. "Do you want to sit or stand?" Mitchell asked me. I told him I'd prefer to stand, since that posture allowed me to match the fact I was playing a standing character in the game. "Good man," he said. Wearing the new headset, with Luckey talking to me in the background, was jarring. During longer playing sessions your brain tries to make sense of two sets of inputs: The real and the virtual. I'm a little scared of how immersive the experience will be with noise-cancelling headphones, alone in your gaming space. The hardware has already improved by leaps and bounds, and is set to become even better before the developer kits launch this December. We'll be reporting live from the field with our own developer kit from the Kickstarter, and I'm looking forward to sharing my thoughts on that version of the hardware. Until then, it's nice to see how quickly the hardware is improving.

Hav'nt posted much lately but feel compelled to now have just received issue 226 of Architecture Journal of the RIAI. It features de Blacam + Meagher's Cork Institute of Technology.
Lou Kahn will never be dead as long as de Blacam and Meagher are in practice but the buildings are stunning......pared, rigorous , strong and beautifully detailed. We could not produce a building like that in Scotland, the commitment is not yet in place or vision, intergrity and strength of purpose required and doubt if it could be done in the UK.

Bell, Verlander highlight Media Day
Related Links
Coach Kerwin Bell gave an upbeat assessment of the 2011 Jacksonville University football team and Director of Athletics gave a football stadium update to highlight Media Day Tuesday.
Bell, in his fifth year, said his team "practices with a purpose'' each day and recognizes it has the toughest schedule in the school's history upcoming.
"We don't want to revert back to 2009,'' he said. It was that year the team slid at the end of the season and missed out on a chance at a Pioneer Football League title.
He lauded the team's seniors, who will leave school as the winningest class in history and said he is "disappointed'' more area fans don't come out to see the team as it knocks on the door to national prominence.
"There are great fans in Jacksonville and they should realize that we have some great talent here,'' he said. The Dolphins were 10-1 last season and shared the PFL title with Dayton.
Velander told the media the economy has changed the strategy on renovating the stadium, estimated to be about $4 million.
He said instead of trying to raise a lump sum, the school is talking to individual companies about a variety of in-kind work for the renovation.
Verlander also lauded the efforts of the football team noting that not too long ago few heard of a JU football team and last year the school was "last man out'' for the playoffs.
Seven players: Josh McGregor, Josh Philpart, J.J. Laster, Chad Cypher, Roland Fines, Lacy McDougald and Leonard Smith all attended and met with both print and electronic media at the Crowne Plaza.
The Dolphins have a scrimmage set for Saturday at The Bolles School at 6 p.m. and the first game is Sept. 3 at The Citadel.

The MIDAS study
Losing your memory as you age may be natural. But improving your memory can also be natural. New BrainStrong™ with life'sDHA™, is safe, natural and clinically shown to help protect against normal, cognitive decline as we age.†
The study that proved it.
Adults 55+: The Memory Improvement with Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) Study, or MIDAS, was the first large, randomized and placebo-controlled study demonstrating the benefits of DHA in maintaining and improving brain health in older adults. The study indicated that the use of DHA improves learning and memory recall in healthy aging adults with mild memory complaints.
In other words:
MIDAS found that healthy people with memory complaints who took 900 mg/day algal DHA capsules for six months had almost double the reduction in errors on a test that measures learning and memory performance versus those who took a placebo, a benefit roughly equivalent to having the learning and memory skills of someone three years younger.
The DHA was well-tolerated and subjects taking the DHA also experienced a lower heart rate, providing a significant cardiovascular benefit.
- 900 mg/day algal DHA supplementation for 6 months resulted in a significant decrease of memory errors on a memory test as well as significant increases to verbal recognition memory scores.
- DHA supplementation doubled plasma DHA levels. Higher plasma and red blood cell levels of DHA are associated with better cognitive function.
- DHA supplementation significantly decreased heart rate compared to placebo over the 24-week supplementation, providing a cardiovascular benefit consistent with previously published studies in humans.
A battle plan:
We now have clinical evidence to indicate that 900 mg/day of algal DHA improves memory in aging adults.
†A recent clinical study showed that adults over 55 with a mild memory complaint, who took 900mg/day of life'sDHA™ for 6 months, improved their short-term memory.

Church bells are noise pollution
4:54pm Wednesday 2nd April 2014 in Letters
DO church bells not count as noise pollution or disturbing the peace?
I have to put up with the constant sound of ringing bells from as early as 8.30am every Sunday.
This disturbs my sleep on a regular basis. This is as well as, what I can only assume, is bell practice on Tuesday nights. I'm fairly sure I'd get arrested if I stood outside blasting my horn full blast.

LAGRANGE — These three "houses" were built from canned and packaged food to elicit donations from fairgoers.
In order to "vote" for your favorite house you donate money. The houses are next to the fair office in the 4-H building.
One house was assembled by the 4-H Dog Club; one by the Topeka 4-H Club and the dog house by the Howe 4-H Club.
The Howe 4-H Club used more than 400 cans of dog and cat food that will go to Paws and Claws food pantry in Howe. The food pantry helps those in the county who are having a difficult time with food for their pets.
The project was overseen by recently crowned 4-H Master Achiever Chanden Lawson, who is president of the 4-H Dog Club.
After the contest, the food is donated to the LaGrange Clothes and Food Basket and the dog house goodies are donated to ARK, the LaGrange no-kill animal shelter.
The winning club gets ice cream.
"We worked hard on this project, Lawson said. "It had almost been forgotten this year but we pulled together and got it done."

With sweeping views of York and the surrounding countryside, it isn't hard to see why Clifford's Tower played such a crucial role in the control of northern England. The tower has a turbulent history, surviving 1,000 years of flood, fire and siege. Its origins were violent: William the Conqueror built the castle for his northern campaign of terror in 1069. At various points in its history, Clifford's Tower became a royal mint, functioned as a prison, gruesomely displayed the bodies of leaders of uprisings, and was even a court.

From the Palestine Police Department:
PALESTINE, TX (KLTV) - Acting on information from the Palestine Police Department Drug Unit, members of the police department conducted a search warrant on 501 Variah Street. There were citizen complaints from the area that lead to the PPD Drug Unit doing surveillance of the residence. After several weeks of surveillance and other investigative information, police had enough information to obtain a search warrant for the property.
Police entered the property at 501 Variah Street on May 1 at approximately 6:45 a.m. Police detained four people inside the residence. There were three males and one female inside the residence when police entered the residence.
Police recovered an undetermined amount of crack cocaine, ecstasy pills, marijuana and a small amount of cash. Some of the illegal narcotics were lying on a coffee table when police entered the residence. The street value of the drugs has not yet been determined.
Palestine Police were assisted by the narcotics officers from TDCJ-ID. The TDCJ officers brought the drug dogs to the scene and helped in locating drugs that were hidden in the ceiling of the home.
Those arrested were 22-year-old Frederick Tatum, 22-year-old Darion Turner, 29-year-old Rashad Brookings and 36-year-old Fran
Stephens. The four were charged with the Manufacture & Delivery of a
Controlled Substance Penalty Group 1. This is a felony of the first degree. A
first degree felony carries a sentence of 5 to 99 years or life in prison.

Backpacker Magazine – September 2011
Itsy bitsy? Sure, but spiders loom large in hiker phobias. They shouldn't: Only a few subspecies of the black widow and brown recluse can inflict enough damage to cut short a hike. Here's what you need to know about North America's most venomous spiders, from how to avoid them to treating their bites.

I was bitten in 2007 by a brown recluse at work. While researching for information on remedies I came across the Brown recluse first aid kit at http://www.brown-recluse.com/spiderinfo.html I bought one of the kit rush delivery and after using it quickly reversed the narcosis in the wound in 1 day and I was completely healed in 4 days. The product worked for me then and also worked this week when my wife came home form work claiming she had got bitten on the leg at work. I examined the wound and could see two puncture holes and concluded it was a spider bite. The bite swelling was already about 2" round. I applied the product twice a day for 3 days and it never reached the narcosis stage is completely healed now.
Congress should all have testicle bites, lmfao!
Testicle bites.... Ouch! lol
I can deal with spiders. But congress is another problem.
It's the ticks here in the northeast that scare the hell out of me FAR more than any other living thing in the woods!
Should I use my bee sting epipen if bitten by a spider or snake??
Thanks for the article. Snakes, bears, scorpions, and now the lowdown on spyders. Guess I'll wear a HAZMAT suit next time I go out hiking. Let me google that.

This is a nice article. I don't really worry about spider when hiking or camping, I see them all the time. What I try to watch out for is snakes. I still don't worry about them, but I do watch for them more than spiders.

Excruciating testicle bites? Liquified tissue? Are you kidding me? That's it- all of my backpacking gear is going on ebay and i'm taking up world of warcraft. Now i'm afraid to step foot outside my house! Thanks alot.
Black Widow venom messes with the victim's nervous system. For a child who has been bitten unknowingly, they may not feel any pain anywhere but might cry uncontrollably for no reason. Look for swelling and apparent location of bite. This happened to me when I was 4. For several yrs the location of the bite would swell about once a yr. There is no feeling at the end of my thumb where I was bitten. My grandmother was bitten at age 90 and after 3 days in ICU she was legally blind as the venom caused her retinas to rupture. Search your property for webs during the day then with a flashlight carefully re-visit those sites at night and kill the spider if you see it. If you can see where the spider may be hiding, you can spray spider poison at the hiding spot until it pools below and you may kill it that way. This proves to be successful as many times I check the following day and find the spider dead on the web or on the ground.
A mother in Australia wrapped gauze around the wrist of her baby daughter who was bitten on the hand by a deadly spider. The Drs in the ER said that action is what saved her. We saw this on a cable show about arachnids. I have never read that we should do that as part of first aid so I am wondering if it is a good thing to do or not??

Try not to smash the spider when seeking an ID- this makes it very difficult. You can pop in an old pill bottle or plastic film can with a some 70% rubbing alcohol, or if live, put in a leaf or lightly damp paper towel. Check with your local university or nature center for ID help. Most alleged spider bites are really something else. These bites are rare and most spiders are great to have around for pest control and beauty. With very rare exception they only react in self-defense.

I know a guy who lost his arm and another who lost his life to brown recluse bites. Both developed gangrene because of the open soars that would not heal. So technically the brown recluse didn't kill him or cause the loss of the are, thus I suspect the death and maiming rate is a bit lower than reality.
Agree with Chris. My dad ended up in the emergency room and nearly died from a Hobo spider bite. He had such severe head pain that they thought he was having a brain aneurysm, and it took four doses of morphine to even touch the pain. Admittedly, his experience was a bit extreme, but Hobos can be incredibly problematic for PNW hikers.
Brown recluse almost killed me. Once bit, I was okay till the doctor in ER lanced the bite. He thought it was a boil. I was sent to the Unniversity Hospital four days later. Once there being diabetic a lot things were going wrong from the bite. I was informed surgery now, or be dead in three hours. The rest is history and five surgeries later and learning how to walk again. My battle scar is 17 cm x 17cm and one can lay there hand in the hole. I'm alive. Becareful and check things out to make sure no creatures are around.
" If you�re outside their native habitat, encountering a brown recluse is unlikely." It would be nice if the article said what their native habitat *is*.
with the talk of "preventing blood vessels from pumping the spiders venom much farther than the bite spot" is it suggested to hike out immediately or just get it above the heart and keep it clean for a bit?

I think I may have seen it on google a few days ago.
as an aside, to FIND spiders in the night, turn on your hearlight or hold a flashlight near the plane of your eyes, and whereever you see a little sparkle, walk up close and look and you will see that the sparkle is the reflection of a spider's eyes. One of those little fun camping facts i thought you should know.
Thanks, but you did absolutely nothing to allay my fears. Especially with that pic of the necrotizing recluse bite. Really? What the heck were you thinking?
You should've included the Hobo spider, an introduced species that is now found in the Pacific Northwest. It certainly looks similar to the Brown Recluse, and is typically misidentified as such.

MILWAUKEE (WKOW) -- A subpoena for Governor Scott Walker's testimony in an upcoming criminal trial of one of his former aides has been submitted to a Milwaukee County court.
Clerk Gina Barron for Judge David Hanscher tells 27 News the subpoena was submitted to the court Friday.
Barron says the subpoena documents show the subpoena was served on Walker's attorney, Michael Steinle.
Steinle has yet to return a call from 27 News seeking comment.
Walker was previously identified by a prosecutor as a potential witness in the October 15 trial of Kelly Rindfleisch in Hanscher's court.
But Rindfleisch's attorney, Franklyn Gimbel tells 27 News he had the subpoena served to ensure Walker's appearance.
Gimbel also says the prosecution has backed off from it's original intent to consider calling Walker as a trial witness.
Gimbel tells 27 News, if the scheduled trial takes place, he is "100% sure" he will call the governor to the witness stand.
Authorities say Rindfleisch committed misconduct by working on campaign activities in 2010, while at her government job as deputy chief of staff for Walker when Walker was Milwaukee County executive.
Authorities say Rindfleisch exchanged dozens of emails with others on behalf of the campaign of lieutenant governor candidate Brett Davis, who is now state medicaid director under Walker.
Authorities also say Rindfleisch used a secret email system, with records of emails unknown to county custodians of such records.

Flames Win Series 4-2
The goalies were flawless and both teams did a good job of clearing away dangerous rebounds, until 19:13 of overtime. That's when Red Wings' goalie Curtis Joseph made a nice save off a Jarome Iginla shot, only to be let down by his team mates. As they watched, Craig Conroy shovelled the rebound across the crease, where Martin Gelinas waited to tap it home.
An upset? To be sure. But the Flames had the NHL's 3rd-best defensive team this season, and are now reaping the rewards. In terms of sticking to your game plan, Calgary is this year's most consistent playoff team. Iginla and Kiprusoff get the headlines, but you could argue that this series was won by Calgary's young defense, painstakingly assembled through years of drafting and trading.
For the second straight year, the Red Wings are left to wonder where the big offense went to die. The NHL's highest scoring team scored a total of three goals in four losses to Calgary. Their power play was terrible throughout the series. In this game they were outshot 44-39 and managed just three shots in the third period. Another disturbing stat: the Red Wings have lost 11 of their last 13 playoff overtime games.
Game Five: Flames 1 - Red Wings 0 (Flames lead series 3-2)
Yes, goaltender Miikka Kiprusoff made big saves against the big shooters; and no team wins a 1-0 game without a little luck. But on the basis of overall play, Calgary deserved this one. Only in the last ten minutes, with Detroit getting desperate, did the Flames really lean on their goalie. Even then, the Red Wings rarely saw a rebound.
The only goal came when Jarome Iginla fed the puck to a wide-open Craig Conroy, who neatly drilled it into the top corner. When attempting similar big plays, the Detroit stars often find themselves stapled to the boards or stripped of the puck. It's getting hard to tell which team is the would-be dynasty and which is the low-budget underdog. Further bad news for Detroit: Steve Yzerman did not return after taking a hard shot in the face.
Game Four: Red Wings 4 - Flames 2 (series tied 2-2)
Detroit made this one difficult by squandering a comfortable 2-0 lead in the second period. Martin Gelinas and Ville Niemenen scored 18 seconds apart to pull Calgary even, and the Flames threatened to take the lead several times after that.
A more composed Red Wings team emerged in the third period. Sustained pressure resulted in Boyd Devereaux's winning goal, and Henrik Zetterberg scored into the empty net. This was the most even game of the series, and you have to wonder if Calgary's best chance has slipped away with this loss.
Game Three: Flames 3 - Red Wings 2 (Flames lead series 2-1)
For two periods, at least, Calgary resembled the team that beat Vancouver in round one. Dogged forechecking and churning legs pushed the Red Wings back, producing an ugly goal by Stephane Yelle and a nice one by Shean Donovan. Jarome Iginla scored on the power play, and the Flames had their 3-2 lead after 40 minutes.
The third period was a Red Wings' shooting gallery. But they missed the net a lot, and Miikka Kiprusoff made a dozen saves, as Calgary escaped with the win and the series lead.
Game Two: Red Wings 5 - Flames 2 (series tied 1-1)
Who knows what kind of team the Red Wings will be when they can no longer turn to Steve Yzerman? Detroit's captain for the ages turned in another vintage performance with a pair of goals. Yzerman played with Kris Draper and Kirk Maltby, which opened scoring chances that did not exist in game one. Detroit's moribund power play also stirred, scoring three goals, two of them during 5-on-3 advantages late in the game.
The Flames would not have won this game in any case. But it did not help that defenseman Rhett Warrener left this game with an eye injury. If he does not play game three, Calgary will be without three of its top six defensemen, as well as three of its best forwards.
Game One: Flames 2 Red Wings 1 (OT) (Flames lead series 1-0)
Just the way Darryl Sutter planned it, perhaps? The Calgary coach surely knew his team would have to survive an early Detroit blitzkreig. The Flames did, as goalie Miikka Kiprusoff helped them emerge from a one-sided first period in a scoreless tie. Then it was a matter of playing defense, hoping for the best and waiting for a chance. Marcus Nilson got that chance at 2:39 of overtime, when he was abandoned in front of the net and flicked Martin Gelinas' pass over the shoulder of goalie Curtis Joseph.
"We got lucky, we stole this one," said Calgary center Craig Conroy. True, but Detroit let them get lucky. After their ferocious first period did not deliver results, the Red Wings slacked off a little. The rest of the game was fairly even, which favors the luckier team.
