Creating a Module under Windows
Creating a Module under WindowsPosted by Martin Hennig at November 20. 2012
Is it even possible to build a module and include it in Salome under Windows? I just found tutorials for Linux in the documentation (like the HELLO module).
Would be great if someone could point me to a tutorial or explain shortly what you need to do differently to that tutorial in the documentation!
Thanks in advance,
Hello Martin,
Unfortunately, there is no any "how-to" document that would provide a description of the module implementation specifically for Windows platform. Existing tutorials relate to the Linux platform only.
The main problem is that from its origin SALOME was mainly aimed to the Linux platform and, thus, used build system based on GNU auto-tools (autoconf / automake / libtool / GNUmake). For building SALOME on Windows, CMake was later used that allowed generation of MS Visual Studio solutions. CMake input files are generated from the Makefiles by hand-made Python script. Unfortunately, this script contains some hardcoded staff and, thus, cannot be considered as universal solution that would be appropriate for any custom 3rd-party module. However, it might work in simple cases.
On the other hand, you can refer to PARAVIS as an example of the module, completely based on CMake, that makes cross-platform solution for both Linux and Windows.
So, you have two choices:
1) Take PARAVIS as example of the module based on CMake. Note that PARAVIS is very specific case of SALOME module, so you only need to refer to it for the build procedure.2) Create GNU auto-tools -based module following the description provided in SALOME Tutorial and try am2cmake procedure for converting Makefiles to CMake. If needed, you can also attune am2cmake script for your own purposes, though this might be not an easy task.
May I ask where are these tutorials to create a Salome modules on Linux?
I have not been able to find them.
Is it in the Kernel User's Guide?
Thank you for your help,
Best regards,
Hello William,
SALOME Tutorial is provided within TUTORIAL package which is a part of SALOME distribution. However, it is distributed only with SALOME Install Wizard archives for Linux. Neither universal Linux binaries nor Windows binaries packages contain SALOME Tutorial. In such a case you can download archive with SALOME Tutorial from download page (see Sources and Documentation section).
Re: Creating a Module under WindowsPosted by Martin Hennig at November 21. 2012
Thank you very much, Adam! If I should choose to give this way a try, I'll report back with my results and maybe a small how-to.
Re: Creating a Module under WindowsPosted by Thomas PEDOT at November 21. 2012
Hi Martin,
I will be interested by this subject.
Do you plan to developpe a module in c++ or in python ?

Georges St. Pierre initially predicted that Chris Weidman would win against Anderson Silva, saying that the super-fight between him and fellow dominant UFC champion wouldn't happen because of this. Like most guys who predicted a Weidman victory though, GSP was also very surprised that he took the belt in that way, knocking Silva out cold as the champ was clowning around.
As seen on the clip above, St. Pierre was competing at a WSOP poker tourney when spoke to the guys at Poker Listings, where he discusses the bout and the shocking finish.
"I predicted Chris Weidman would win but I didn't think he'd win the way he did. I thought he would win with ground and pound or some kind of submission but he won with a beautiful knockout standing up."
"But I think Silva just got caught. I still think he's the best in the world."
"Silva's very good at getting into his opponent's head so I don't think it's a lack of respect. It's more that he plays mind-games with his opponents. It almost worked this time but he got caught. It doesn't mean that it was a bad strategy for him."
GSP went on to praise Silva and his stature in the sport's history, but he still stuck with his original prediction when asked about his thoughts on a potential rematch:
"You always recognize a great champion by how they come back from a loss and I know Silva came back from a loss and adversity before. He's the greatest of all time for sure."
"I'm really happy for Chris Weidman. He's my friend, his house got flooded, he's got a family and kid, and it couldn't have happened to a better guy. I'm very happy for him. He's a well deserved guy. He's a good guy. He's a high caliber athlete. He deserves it."
"Depending if Anderson Silva would take a rematch, I believe Weidman can take that win again."
St. Pierre, who was proven right in saying that a Silva super-fight wouldn't happen, is currently scheduled for a welterweight title defense against Johny Hendricks at UFC 167 this November.

4.75/5 rDev +8.4%
So this is actually for Still Jacked the 2013 edition of Jacked again. This is one of my favorite beers. You get a good amount of the the vanilla and flavors of the whiskey without it being overpowering. Comparatively speaking it is an excellent example of a barrel aged beer.

4.01/5 rDev -8.4%
A: poured black into a snifter with a small tan head that fades quickly to leave a ring around the glass
S: chocolate, caramel, roast malt and vanilla. the whiskey has greatly influenced the nose
T: a nice caramel and vanilla sweetness up front with some chocolate and slight roast malt flavors. the flavor from the barrels mingles well with the flavors of the beer. alcohol remains well hidden. sweet chocolate is very predominant in the flavor followed by the caramel and vanilla from the whiskey. slight oakyness to the beer as well. aftertaste is more chocolate, vanilla and caramel with some woody oak flavor.
M: medium in the mouth with soft carbonation. good for a porter and a slightly drying finish
O: Very Impressive. If this is their first foray into barrel aging beers it shows promise. Good whiskey barrel flavors without overpowering the base beer. I might have to start dumping a splash of Jack into bad beers instead of Maker's Mark

Stan's NoTubes Standard Tubeless System $64.00
Going tubeless doesn't have to entail buying special wheels, and in most cases doesn't have to entail tubeless tires. This is the quick 'n easy way to convert standard rims to tubeless. The Stan's No tubes Standard Tubeless Kit looks like one of those things invented in the garage by a guy with too much time on his hands. So what? Tinkerers have made the bike world so darn interesting, and there is a beauty associated with any garage solution -- so utilitarian, so deceptively simple, so appropriately MTB.
This Standard Kit has everything needed to convert one 26in, cross-country wheelset to tubeless. It includes two molded rim strips with Presta valve cores, one pint of Stan's tire sealant with 60g scoop and a spout, and one 10-yard roll of rim tape. Detailed instructions are also included; we recommend following them to the letter. If there's a concern about sealant, buy an extra quart now to recover from those initial screwups without sidelining the wheels and your hard work. The Stan's No Tubes Standard Tubeless Kit should work with most cross-country style 26in MTB rims.

Fantastic idea that works!

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Works exactly as advertised, check out the Stan's website and watch the videos! Follow the instructions carefully and don't get in a hurry.
I can run as low as 30psi for massive traction, and not a single flat. Not a single burp. One small problem - they will leak down slowly, after a month (January) of sitting, they lost air down to under 20psi, but I always check air before every ride anyway.
I've helped 5 others install Stans, only one we couldn't get to work - one well used Kenda just wouldn't seal at the rim, replaced that tire and problem went away.
Even at the same pressure, you can feel a more supple ride and less rolling resistance.
Saved about half a pound off my bike!
Don't forget to add more sealant every six months or so, not sure if it dries up or gets "used up" but it slowly vanishes - just shake the wheel and listen for splashing sounds

Reiki $25

Site: Emmetsburg (800) Time: 6-7:30pm (Wed.)
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy. The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy". So Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force energy." Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing. Many have reported miraculous results.
Self Hypnosis $50
Course #: 54990 Date(s): 3/12/14
Site: Emmetsburg (800) Time: 6-9pm (Wed.)
Hypnosis is a state of extraordinary mental, physical, and emotional relaxation. This state provides a discharge of tensions from all levels of the body. Hypnosis is an altered state of consciousness and sensory awareness, but is a very natural state. You are simply shifting from the conscious level of awareness to the subconscious level of awareness. Selfhypnosis is putting yourself in a state of deep mental, physical, and emotional relaxation by applying hypnotic techniques. Actually, all hypnosis is selfhypnosis. There are many benefits of hypnosis. The two most requested are stop smoking and weight loss. However, there are many, many more benefits; such as: helps with insomnia, fears and phobias, enhance sports performance, speeds up recovery after an accident or surgery, relieve stress, provides a deep state of relaxation, helps cancer patients who are receiving radiation and/or chemo, helps with pain management, heal from a loss or separation, headaches etc., etc.

Allen Park � A few weeks ago, Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh decided it was time for a group hug with the media, extending his arms with a welcoming grin.
�I love you all � let�s have a big hug,� he said, laughing at the puzzled response from reporters gathered around his locker stall. �I�m serious! I want a big hug.�
This was news, of course, coming from a guy who�d mostly kept the local media at arm�s length his rookie season. And I think it was encouraging news for the Lions, who�ve been waiting to see more of this from Suh, their Pro Bowl defensive tackle now entering his fourth NFL season.
Not so much his warm, cuddly side � Suh�s job is to shed blockers and put the squeeze on opposing quarterbacks, not us. But a willingness to openly embrace the full responsibility that comes with that massive contract and his status as one of this franchise�s cornerstone players � that�s what was missing his first few years in the league.
�He�s a young veteran,� Schwartz said at the beginning of the Lions offseason workouts. �It�s time for him and a lot of other guys to start showing that leadership.�
Schwartz was right. It�s time. Past time, in some cases. But with the Lions at a crossroads in 2013 � win now, or else � it�s that young core of players that�ll ultimately decide the fate of the team that brought them here.
Coaching jobs are on the line, presumably. Front-office fates, as well. And after last season�s public splintering � full of selfish acts and a stunning lack of self-awareness, from the coach on down � there does seem to be an acknowledgement this group truly needs to come together if it�s going to get anywhere.
�It�s not just the work we�ve put in,� said Dominic Raiola, the Lions veteran center. �It�s not just the Lions offense, not just the Lions defense. We really made a conscious effort to make it be about the Lions.�
And for that, Raiola adds, �A lot of credit needs to be given to the younger guys. Suh�s really come around.�
Front and center
That�s apparent in ways big and small, with Suh taking rookie defensive end Ezekiel Ansah under his wing and taking a front-row seat for team stretching before each practice now � he�s no longer sitting in the back of the class. He�s even taking the initiative as a secretary of defense, if you will. Suh was busy texting veteran teammates over the summer, planning and organizing and delegating. (�That�s what leaders do,� cornerback Chris Houston said. �[They] don�t wait for the coach to get on us.�)
No one�s asking Suh to be Ray Lewis or to pretend to be something he�s not. But for a defense with 11 starters now age 28 or younger, there�s a leadership void that needed to be filled, particularly up front, where everything has to start for this group.
Questions remain about the revamped Lions offense, with Reggie Bush in the fold and the competition for starting jobs in the trenches still unfolding. But after an offseason overhaul of the defense, it�s up to Suh and tag-team tackle Nick Fairley, in particular, to set the disruptive tone.
There are more playmakers behind them this year, it appears, with the addition of Glover Quin and the return of Louis Delmas � for now � at the safety position, bolstering the back end. Yet it�s at the point of attack, where the Lions have invested three top-15 picks and gone to great lengths � literally � to establish an identity, that the chaos must be generated. The Lions had 34 sacks last season � ranked 20th in the NFL � and saw their takeaway total drop from fifth-best in the league (34 in 2011) to fifth-worst (17) in 2012. If there�s going to be a turnaround in the overall record for the Lions, there�ll have to be a reversal of fortune right there.
�They have a great front,� New England quarterback Tom Brady said after a 40-9 Week 3 exhibition loss in Detroit. �I mean, they have some guys that can really rush the quarterback and put a lot of pressure on the ball. � They�ll have a very good team this year.�
Making a change
That�s high praise coming from a three-time Super Bowl champ and two-time league MVP. It�s also meaningless if the Lions don�t deal with pressure better than they did a year ago.
�How to handle success?� said linebacker Stephen Tulloch, who keeps referencing a renewed �sense of urgency� he feels in the locker room. �I think we learned that the hard way last year.�
They seem to have cleaned up their act off the field, steering clear of trouble thus far in 2013 the way they couldn�t � or didn�t � in 2012. More than likely, they�ll need a few reminders on the importance of doing the same on the field, though.
The personal-foul problems cropped up again this exhibition season, both in the loss at Cleveland and in the victory over New England, highlighted by Willie Young�s taunting of Brady. But as it was with the Tennessee defenses Schwartz coached before arriving in Detroit, living on the edge is part of the deal, I guess.
�You know what? We�re Lions,� said Delmas, the high-energy sparkplug in the secondary. �Once you open that cage up, once you let that lion out of the cage, he�s gonna get aggressive.�
Maybe so, though the fans in Detroit have grown tired of defending the indefensible. Tired of the losing, too.
But listening to Suh talk this summer � �I think everybody has an opportunity to grow up and change their ways,� he said � there�s at least some hope this pride of Lions has built a better coalition.
Defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh, beginning his fourth season, has quietly become what the Lions have needed for more than a decade: An enigmatic leader. / Daniel Mears / Detroit News

Stop Taking Jeremiah 29:11 Out of Context
March 22, 2013
Thom Turner is program manager at International Justice Mission. He is a graduate of Rutgers University (MA in English) and Cairn University (BS English Ed., BS Bible), and blogs at www.everydayliturgy.com.
It's written on graduation cards, quoted to encourage a person who can't seem to find God's well and doled out like a doctor explaining a prescription: Take Jeremiah 29:11 a few times, with a full glass of water, and call me in the morning. I think you'll feel better.
"'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future'" Jeremiah 29:11 tells us—possibly one of our most beloved, yet most misunderstood, verses in the entire Bible.
Sure, it might make a person feel better, but this verse as we often prescribe it is being taken completely out of context. It doesn't mean what people think it means. It's time to back up and see what the author of Jeremiah is actually saying.
We misinterpret Scripture when we are too familiar with the passage to look at it with fresh eyes.
When it comes to reading the Bible, we can sometimes be so familiar with the words on the page that we read them, but we don't really understand them. We see the words and hear the words, but we don't make any sense out of them. Familiarity can breed laziness, and so many of our misunderstandings about the scriptures happen because we are too familiar with the passage to look it with fresh eyes. If we would come to the Word of God with fresh eyes more often, we would realize that some of our most common interpretations of Scripture passed down to us don't make much sense when viewed within the context of the passage.
Like any author worth his salt, the writer in Jeremiah begins by stating the subject of the passage: "This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says to all those I carried into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon ... " (Jeremiah 29:4).
This verse, quoted to countless individuals who are struggling with vocation or discerning God's will, is not written to individuals at all. This passage is written to a whole group of people—an entire nation. For all the grammarians out there, the "you" in Jeremiah 29:11 isn't singular, it's plural. And you don't have to be a Hebrew scholar to realize that "one" versus "many" is a big difference.
And the verse just before it is perhaps even scarier. For in Jeremiah 29:10, God lays down the specifics on this promise: that He will fulfill it "after seventy years are completed for Babylon." In other words, yes, God says, I will redeem you—after 70 years in exile. This is certainly a far cry from our expectation of this verse in what God's plans to prosper us really mean. He did have a future and a hope for them—but it would look far different than the Israelites ever expected.
So what? Some of you may be thinking. Even when the verse is taken out of context, it still offers value, right? God does know the plans of individual people, so it's just as well to keep prescribing Jeremiah 29 for those seeking God's plan for their life, right? Well, yes and no.
We need to let the Bible speak to us, not allow our own personal bent to speak into the Scriptures. If Jeremiah 29 is speaking to the nation of Israel, and not just one person, then we should start with the truth in the Scriptures. Context matters—God speaks at a particular moment in time, to a particular people group, for a reason.
We need to let the Bible speak to us, not allow our own personal bent to speak into the Scriptures.
What this means is that God has plans for a whole group of people, namely the nation of Israel. And if we read on in the Scriptures we find that this promise was fulfilled: those in exile returned, and the nation of Israel was restored for a time. God made a promise through the prophets, and that promise came true.
But that's not the end of the story, either. There is something to the out-of-context prescriptions that so many make using this verse. God is a God of redemption, after all, and He wants to redeem people and put them on a path of wholeness, just as He wanted the nation of Israel to be redeemed and whole again.
As John Calvin says about this passage, the prophet is speaking not just of historical redemption, for that period in time, but also of "future redemption." For the Israelites, God listened to their prayers when they sought Him with all their heart, and in His time, He brought them out of exile.
But how does any of this apply to us today? Can we still take heart in such a beautiful promise—even though it was spoken to people long ago, people in a far different situation than ours?
First and foremost, we are all in this together. This verse does not apply to isolated individuals or to a broad community. It applies to both, together, functioning as one. The image painted here is one of individuals in community, like the Body of Christ which Paul talks about. Here are a bunch of people, worshiping God together, hoping for a future redemption.
The theologians Stanley Grenz and John Franke explain in their book Beyond Foundationalism just how a community "turns the gaze of its members toward the future." The future in Jeremiah is one that is bright—one that everyone in the community through prayer and worship seeks as their collective future hope. Many of us want to desperately know the plan that God has for each one of us as individuals, but let the prophet Jeremiah remind us that it's not all about us, and it might not look like what we think.
Even more important than our decision about which college to attend, which city to move to or what job offer to take is the future hope of the Kingdom of God foretold by the prophets and fulfilled in the reign of our now and coming King. In this way, the promise of Jeremiah 29:11 is bigger than any one of us—and far better.

Really enjoyed the read, but I don't think you were clear enough about the "misuse" you propose. The verse still holds the same hope that Romans 8:28 holds. I agree that many do take scripture out of context, but I've not heard this taken out of context in a secular setting. It's usually given to other believers - my personal opinion is that people give this one out because it's not as known as anything in the New Testament, so it's a fun verse to get people to look it up. Jeremiah and Isaiah both called the Israelites to repentance and brokeness and certainly, if taken into context then this would indeed be the message. "Hey I'm sorry you are going through this, seek Jesus first, become broken before Him, lay aside your desires and know that you will be rewarded with the best gifts of all, just like Jeremiah said in old and Jesus and Paul speak in the New." Thanks for something thought provoking this morning!
This is a very interesting article and some good points of truth in it. We really do need to understand the scriptures in context to what the original authors, ie Jeremiah, was saying to his people when he addressed them. HOWEVER, I also like very much what Nate Fox (commenter her) said so eloquently in his reply, which is just as true.
With this being said, I think that we can take old or new testament scriptures, ie Jerm 29:11, which was meant to be a comforting prophesy to the nation of Israel at that particular time period and later fulfilled, in context with God's will for each individual believer IN CHRIST. For instance; does God want each one of us who reside IN CHRIST, to have a future and a hope? Does God have plans for each of us who make Him Lord of our lives? Why, sure He does! The new testament is full of scriptures that confirm our hope and future in Christ. So, if this is true, then God would still honor this beloved old verse of Scripture in Jeremiah that people stand on. He wants for us to stand on the scriptures for hope! Otherwise, he would not have had the Apostle Paul write:
2 Tim 3:16-17
All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness;so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.
The key is living your life IN CHRIST on a daily basis in order for God to honor these promises in our lives. You cannot live your life like a non believer living in sin (Mon-Sat) and expect for God to honor Jerm 29:11 in your life on Sunday? Thus, as Nate quotes:
2 Corinthians 1:20 For no matter how many promises God has made, they are "Yes" in Christ. And so through him the "Amen" is spoken by us to the glory of God.
As for the prosperity message and standing on those scriptures; you have to do this in context with the rest of God's Word too. For instance, if you want to prosper, are you giving a tenth of your income to the storehouse? Are you being honest and keeping your word to your customers and associates? Is integrity the most important virtue in your business affairs or are you deceptive with others because of your lust for money ? God's blessings will never reside with a lying two faced thief, no matter how many scriptures he is standing on until he truly repents and turns his life around!
God honors His principles as stated in NT and well as OT above all things and He will honor every scripture if you are honoring Him with your life! He wants our lives to overflow with abundance to make a point to those who don't believe. What He doesn't want is for us to covet wealth above His will for our individual lives. For this would violate the Ex 20:1-5.
So, if you are IN CHRIST (obeying the scriptures), you can say "yes!" and "amen!" to ALL His promises as stated in the Word for your life and stand on them!
I knew the background of this verse, and I still used it on my wedding invitations-- My (now) husband and I were separated by distance and deployments while we were dating and engaged. Getting married was a decision I made based on the knowledge that this was God's plan for me. Shortly after we married, my husband deployed again. The knowledge that this was God's plan for us kept us faithful to one another and to God's will. I found great personal comfort in Jer 29:11 and felt like this verse spoke to our circumstances. I don't think it's fair to assume that everyone who cites this verse is misunderstanding its meaning.
The real problem here is people deliberately take scripture out of context to support their theology. This is a serious business and it's how cults form. Poor doctrine and misunderstanding and misapplying Scripture is key to things like the prosperity gospel.
so i guess my question is, does God have an individual plan for us or not? And I also don't think you can unilaterally say that my future is less important to God than His plan for the redemption of His people? Isn't my future a part of His redemptive plan? Am I not called to go forth and proclaim the Gospel? How can you so easily dismiss what is important to me, individually? Am I not important to God?

Jitterbit streamlines data migrations
Straightforward graphical tools come close to satisfying "no expertise needed" promisesFollow @peterwayner
At a previous job, a colleague told me how she went home one night and lovingly described the arcane parameters of our assignment to her husband: Data from four computers must be massaged into several versions of XML before being passed off into a primitive version of a Web service. She was steamed when her husband's reaction was, "So you're just building a data pipe."
Mundane as it may seem, the problem of moving data from system to system is much more than "just building a data pipe." There are deep challenges to getting the information from one system to another without being thwarted by null pointers, character format errors, database incompatibilities, and any number of other things that can go wrong. Jitterbit aims to make the job simple enough that, as its Web site says, you can "integrate your data 'out of the box' without any coding expertise."
Streamlined data, no programming?
Jitterbit 1.0 comes with a server and a client, and both can be installed on Windows or Linux boxes. The packages come either as the free "community edition" protected by the Jitterbit Public License (an open source license similar to the Mozilla License), or as a "professional edition," which is the same software but includes support and training.
In this architecture, the server does the work, and the client offers a GUI for directing the server. You create a set of "operations" that apply "transformations" to data from a source before sending it to a target. Each of these are encoded in XML and are uploaded to the server that runs them according to a schedule you set.
There's really no traditional programming involved, which is part of the system's appeal. You set up your sources, transformations, and targets by filling out forms and selecting options from menus in the Jitterbit UI. Many of these menus are fairly intelligent and draw their information directly from the data sources. The database source, for instance, will look up the tables and columns so that you can choose them instead of typing them in from scratch.
When you're ready to move the data, you select one part of the data from a source, one part from a target, and then push the "map" button to connect the two. When the server runs the operation, it will copy over all data elements in this map from the source to the target.
The folks at Jitterbit have clearly built more than a few data pipes in their time. I've found that much of the programming involves writing code, compiling, uploading, and then finally testing all of the particulars. My favorite part of the Jitterbit interface is the testing tool, which lets you know immediately whether the current settings for a source, an operation, or a target are valid or invalid. When you type in the parameters for a database connection, you can test to see whether the link is valid with a quick push of the button. This testing loop is much simpler than compiling and deploying the application, and for me, it remains the system's biggest advantage.
Embracing Jitterpaks
Jitterbit encourages users to share some of these integration operations with one another by providing an abstracted version of the XML that acts as source code, known as a Jitterpak. If you want to make it easier for others to follow in your footsteps, you can publish a Jitterpak with instructions for interacting with a certain data source, and others can start using it immediately.

|Miller unwavering in compassion
|Monday, December 31, 2012 1:47 PM
"God put us on earth to do good things." Miller spoke with conviction. "I try to be a positive role model and provide a supportive attitude for all the people I come in contact with, whether it's children, adults, athletes or the older adult population."
Miller began volunteering in the early 1980s, after being asked by the Delphos Jaycees to pose as Santa for holiday fundraisers. That first stint as Santa was the catalyst that propelled him into the realm of humanitarianism. No matter the venue, when he plays the part of Old St. Nick, it is a truly magical experience. His wish is that everyone could see the world through Santa's eyes—the imagery of colorful, blinking lights, children in wonderment, parents and grandparents smiling, laughing and sharing the Christmas spirit — and ultimately, be able to experience that "joy" all year round.
In 1983, while working at Blue Cross in Lima, a co-worker asked him to help announce a football game between Delphos St. John's and Celina. This "fun job," as Miller affectionately calls it, spawned a dynamic radio personality, "The Voice of Sports Broadcasting," that has reached out to many differing communities and organizations.
In the early 1990s, Miller found himself in a quandary — Thomas Edison and Brookhill Center Schools were playing a fundraising basketball game against each other and wanted Miller to do a live broadcast of the game. Miller pulled his resources together and along with the owners of the station, donated the time to broadcast the game from the Van Wert YMCA.
"This was my favorite event of my broadcasting career," Miller spoke with pride.
Recently, Miller has championed for other causes related to working with developmentally challenged individuals. Since the early 2000s, both Miller and his wife Lynn have been very active with Up to the Challenge and Families United campaigns.
"My wife Lynn has worked for Thomas Edison School close to 34 years," Miller explained. "I was influenced by my wife's caring of special needs children and adults."
Miller is now serving his third 6-year term and 10th year as president of the senior citizens board of directors and has functioned as an integral component in the revitalization of the center. He was instrumental in the planning and completion of the construction of the new garage that houses the center's vans. Miller has harnessed the resources to give the center a "financial shot in the arm" — funding to keep the senior center up and running. Joyce Hale, Delphos Senior Citizens Center director, describes Miller as a Godsend.
"For the seniors that have vision problems and watch little TV, Rick's radio coverage — the play by play commentary — makes them feel as if they are right there at the game and enjoying every player's move," Hale spoke passionately.
With all of this energy, Miller seems to radiate a natural aura making him a highly visible symbol in the community. It makes sense that when he was diagnosed with ocular melanoma [eye cancer] in 2002, the community took a great interest in his diagnosis, treatment and recovery. Miller feels that if his diagnosis and treatment had not been in the limelight, people unaware of the disease would not have thought to have their vision tested and request the "Rick Miller Eye Test" from Dr. Lois Spangler at Delphos Vision Care.
After hearing about my condition, there were many people who requested that diagnostic test from Dr. Spangler," Miller explained. "A few of them caught the disease in the early stages and avoided a medical crisis."
Miller's repertoire of work with charitable organizations and volunteerism includes: the Arnold C. Dienstberger Foundation, the Delphos Museum of Postal History, the Delphos Institute of Music, Delphos City Council, Delphos Area Chamber of Commerce, Delphos Club and Delphos Rotary Club.
Of all his accomplishments, Miller feels his greatest achievement is co-parenting and raising three children — daughters, Angela and Amy, and his son, Cory, who are responsible, career-oriented, young adults. He also has two granddaughters.
"I am very fortunate," Miller counts his blessings. "Kids are rock solid in adult life."
His whole family has been very understanding of the time he devotes to volunteering. At times, when his patience is wearing thin, his wife is very supportive and helps him get through those stressful times.

It refers to free online access to peer-reviewed journals across the globe. Why should you, the budding medical professional, care about Open Access? In brief, Open Access has the potential to improve patient care and education, to innovations in medical research, to improve global health equity, and to provide public access to the results of our federal research dollars. Not convinced, you can read more of my thoughts here: 6 Reasons Open Access Matters to the Medical Community.
What is Open Access Week?
Open Access Week, now in its 5th year is a week dedicated to advocating for Open Access. Organized by the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition (SPARC) and the Right to Research Coalition of which AMSA is a member. This week is an opportunity to learn about Open Access, educate your peers, and advocate for Open Access at your institution. This year there is a new student action guide to Open Access and two flagship student webcasts which will occur during the week. Read the Open Access Week student action guide now.
The action guide will serve as a launching point for planning the week, with tons of examples for how to get involved. From ambitious projects to something as simple as writing an article or raising awareness of Open Access through Facebook and Twitter, the guide has all kinds of ideas, and there's something for everyone. Whatever it is, pick a way to participate in Open Access Week and join the other students around the world engaging thousands (tens of thousands? millions?) on their campuses and in their organizations!
The webcasts will feature leading figures from the Open Access movement talking directly to students about the impact of Open Access to research and the crucial role of students in making Open Access a reality on their campuses, in their fields of study, and as the new default mode of communication. It will also be a two-way conversation – each webcast will have a live Q&A session for students to ask questions, delve deeper into topics, and get advice.
SAVE THE DATES: The first webcast will be broadcast on Monday, October 24th at 8:00pm EDT (12:00am GMT). The second will be broadcast on Wednesday, October 26th at 12:00pm EDT(4:00pm GMT). No matter where you are in the world, plan to tune in for at least one of the webcasts! Get the details: Open Access Week Webcasts.

Art lovers tune in to sound sculptor's work
5:50pm Wednesday 9th May 2012 in News
WHO said video killed the radio star?
Sound artist Janek Schaefer brought his radio orchestra to Oxford at the weekend.
He was at Modern Art Oxford in Pembroke Street creating music from the cacophony of community radio stations picked up by his collection of vintage radios.
Members of the audience could get involved by using one of the radios to tune in and out of the radio frequencies, allowing them to make new arrangements of the piece of music.
Mr Schaefer, 41, said: "I use sound as a sculptural form. I am not really into interactive art but what I love about it is that it makes an ephemeral thing like sound tangible."

The Herald Bulletin
---- — ANDERSON — Dorothy R. Ayers, 94, of Anderson, passed away June 21, 2013, at Countryside Manor Health Care in Anderson. Dorothy succumbed to illness after a fall in January that broke her hip.
She was born Nov. 3, 1918, in Indiana, to Carl and Lois Summers. She married Gerald D. Ayers on April 21, 1939, and they had three children, Anita, Eric and Teresa.
Dorothy began her career as a legal secretary after attending Anderson Business School. However, she always had a passion for teaching and, in 1957, began taking classes at Anderson College and became an elementary school teacher. She taught for 27 years in Anderson Public Schools, including Riley and Brentwood. Dorothy was a pioneer in team teaching, teaching the fifth grade with Wilma Summit for many years. Dorothy loved children and loved teaching them. She enjoyed reminiscing with past students that she often encountered around town. Her students often told her that she was their favorite teacher and that they appreciated her prayers for them at the beginning of each school day.
While teaching, Dorothy returned to college to obtain her Master's Degree and completed the course work for a PhD at Ball State University. She then taught night classes on teaching methods in the education department of Anderson College for six years. During the summers, Dorothy and Gerald took their children and then grandchildren all over the United States on educational trips, to enrich their lives and knowledge. Education was always Dorothy's passion, no matter who the audience!
Dorothy attended Park Place Church of God and was a devout Christian, reading 10 chapters of her bible every evening. She spent a lot of time in prayer, praying faithfully for her family and those in need. Dorothy's family came first in her life, and she would always tell them, "If you need me, you call and I will be there." You knew that you had a place in her heart and in her home. Dorothy led a rich and interesting life, was loved deeply by her family and will be missed.
Dorothy is survived by her children, Anita Olivia Michael, Paul Eric Ayers (Jan), and Teresa E. Tabor; brothers, John Summers and Mark Summers (Betty); and grandchildren, Gerald Eric Michael (Collette), Marcus D. Fuller (Mary), Kristin A. Fuller and Megan E. Ayers. She also has five great-grandchildren; and several nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Carl and Lois Summers; husband, Gerald D. Ayers; sister, Peggy Frazier; grandson, Jeremiah J. Fuller; and two sons-in-law, D. David Fuller and Donald Tabor.
Visitation 4 to 8 p.m. Thursday, June 27, 2013, at Robert D. Loose Funeral Homes & Crematory, 200 W. 53rd St., Anderson, Ind.
Services will be conducted at 1 p.m. Friday at the funeral home, with Dr. David Markle officiating. Burial will take place at the Park View Cemetery, Alexandria.
Memorial contributions may be made to Anderson University.
Post online condolences at www.loosecares.com or www.theheraldbulletin.com.

The application process is quite simple.
If you have questions, contact our office by phone, e-mail or on Facebook (fan page: Binghamton University Study Abroad). Check out our advising and events information, stop by our office any time, come to walk-in advising hours or set up an appointment with an advisor.
You can download each application for Binghamton Programs on the "How to Apply" page of the program. Some applications are unique, so please be sure that you are using the correct, updated application for the program that you are interested in applying for.
Completed Application Form: Reviewers look for professional applications. This means that your applications should be neat and should be typed or printed clearly.
Study Statement:The study statement is designed to give reviewers of your application a sense of your level of commitment to and knowledge of the study abroad program to which you are applying. Essays that have been favorably reviewed demonstrate that the student has a thorough understanding of the study abroad program and environment and has reflected deeply on the personal and intellectual journey they hope to undertake while abroad.
Who should sign your study statement?: The signature on the study statement is to signify that your proposed program of study -- which you should have discussed in the study statement -- has been reviewed and approved by an academic advisor within your school (CCPA, Education, Harpur, SOM, SON, Watson).
Foreign Language Proficiency Form: You would need to fill out this form ONLY if you are applying to a program conducted in a FOREIGN language. You do NOT need to fill out this form if you are applying to a program in which the primary language for the course of instruction will be ENGLISH, and you often do not need this form if you are applying to a program conducted in a foreign language but with no language requirement. For programs of this type, we recommend checking with the sponsor campus to verify whether the form is needed. If the Foreign Language Proficiency Form does not apply to your program, write "not applicable" on the form.
Confidential Reference forms: Most applications require two academic letters of references.
Transcripts: Be sure to request official copies of transcripts of all university work. You should submit requests for transcripts to your university registrar several weeks in advance of your deadline, as they need time to process your request. Unless a program announces another administrative address, transcripts should be sent to the international programs office at the campus administering the program. For Binghamton transcripts, you will need to order a transcript on BU Brain. Be sure to manually enter in the full address as none of the Offices of International Programs (not even Binghamton's own OIP!) appear on the dropdown menu.
Permission to Release Information: This form is required for programs sponsored by Binghamton University. Other-SUNY programs may have similar requirements. Read the form carefully, fill in the necessary information and sign where indicated.
Judicial Review: Binghamton University requires a judicial review of all applicants for Binghamton-sponsored study abroad programs. This review is automatically processed for Binghamton University students. Other-SUNY and non-SUNY students applying to Binghamton programs must complete the Judicial Review form included with Binghamton program applications. Other-SUNY programs may have similar requirements and procedures for a judicial check.
Notification of Home Campus: Once you have applied, be sure to let the Office of International Programs on your home campus know that you are applying for study abroad. Binghamton students will need to come to our office to fill out a short form with our office so we can get you in our system.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- A Minnesota appeals court has ruled legal guardians can order the end of life support for their wards.
The ruling overturns a Hennepin County District Court finding that end-of-life decisions are too important to be made by the guardian alone. The appeals court disagreed, saying those decisions should not be dictated by the courts.
The case involves Jeffers Tschumy, who was mentally disabled and living in a group home. In 2011 he was declared severely brain damaged after choking on some food. A Hennepin County judge denied his guardian the right to end life support, but ordered that it be discontinued.
The Star Tribune says the judge later issued another order saying that guardians have the power to consent to medical treatment for their wards, but they don't have sole power to end life support.

Wish I could have attended. Such good times. Hopefully I can come to the next one.
~Freestyle Class of 2010
on Oct 31, 2013 at 6:36 pm
I graduated a few years ago and I can honestly say that my time at Freestyle was the absolute best two years of high school. I learned so much and use most of my skills daily (I now design video games). The teachers are all fantastic... Ms. P rocks! Sometimes I wish I could go back and do it all over again.
on Oct 31, 2013 at 6:44 pm
As a parent of a Freestyle student who graduates this June, I am so appreciative of all the hard work and dedication these teachers show their students. The teachers prepare these kids not only for college, but for a professional career in their chosen field. I am so grateful my daughter has been a part of this amazing school. Thank you to the district for backing this superb learning environment, and thank you to all the hard-working teachers. Looking forward to the big show at the Computer History Museum in February!

WILMINGTON, Del. (AP)- Gov. Jack Markell is signing legislation enabling the formation of public benefit corporations in Delaware.
The legislation to be signed Wednesday allows the formation of for-profit companies that seek to balance the bottom line with social consciousness.
Public benefit corporations are managed not only for the benefit of stockholders, as most corporations are, but also for community and public interests.
A dozen other states, including New York, California and neighboring Maryland, already recognize public benefit corporations.
Administration officials have said the addition will enhance Delaware's status as the leading state for corporate law. Delaware is the legal home of more than 1 million legal entities, including many of the nation's largest publicly traded corporations.

A large alligator was caught on Tuesday in Florence County after it persisted staying near a home that has children and family pets.
The 12-foot, 575 pound gator was near a home on Old River Road, said Dennis Matherly, owner of Pee Dee Wildlife Control.
"It's showed up in a man's pond and wouldn't go away," said Matherly, who has been an Alligator Control Agent with SC since 1988.
The man, who lives about 5 miles southeast of Florence, called Matherly's company who caught and then killed the animal.
The large gator was killed because nuisance gators are not allowed to be moved, according to state law, Matherly said.
If moved, the nuisance gators could pose a danger to other humans or could return to their former homes, he said.

The New Jersey Devils will meet welcome the Los Angeles Kings to Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, this evening as the two teams play game one of the 2012 Stanley Cup Final. The Devils, who finished the 2011-12 season in sixth place in the Eastern Conference with 106 points, are 12-7 in the playoffs, having beaten the Panthers in seven games, the Flyers in five games, and the Rangers most recently in the Conference finals. The Kings, who finished the regular season in eighth place in the West with 95 points, have roared through the postseason on a near record pace of 12-2: beating the Canucks in five games, sweeping the Blues, and knocking off the Coyotes 4-1 in the Conference finals. It is important to note both that the Kings are undefeated on the road in the playoffs so far, and the Devils have won two Stanley Cups in their history by beating a team that was 12-2 prior to the Final.
Vezina trophy finalist Jonathan Quick will get the call in goal this evening from Brent Sutter, who's tenure as the head coach in LA began midway through this season. Quick, viewed by some as the best goalie in the NHL, brings a 1.54 GAA, .946 save percentage, and two shutouts into this evening's contest; his GAA and save percentage are both tops in the NHL among postseason goaltenders. Outside of the crease, the Kings have two injuries: winger Simon Gagne (concussion) and winger Scott Parse (upper body).
The ageless Martin Brodeur, the greatest goaltender of all time, will start in game one for head coach Peter DeBoer. The 40 year-old Brodeur, who already has his name on the Cup three times, brings a 2.04 postseason GAA, .923 postseason save percentage, and one postseason shutout into tonight's game. New Jersey does not have any injuries at the moment, although it is important to not that defenseman Henrik Tallinder, who has missed the last four months because of a leg injury, is now healthy and available, should DeBoer elect to swap him in.
Puck drops tonight at around 8:11. I will be in Newark for games of the Cup final played at The Rock, so follow me on Twitter here for all of your needs as the final two play out the final games of the 2011-12 season.

text: Italy 2009 represents my very best images from Italy. The images were selected from the 4,000 images taken in spring of 2009. Inclusion into the book required that the image be representative of what I saw and felt in the regions of Italy that I visited. Being a great fine art image was not enough if it was not something unique to Italy or to the way I felt when I was there. Italy had a distinct feel to it and I hope that feeling is conveyed to the viewer through these images.
