This FAQ has been retired and replaced by the PUG FAQ Wiki, which should have all of the same information, except updated regularly to match current reality.
Current Maintainer: Jamie Faris (and the Princeton Unix Group)
Version $Id: index.html,v 1.11 2009/04/19 14:49:29 pug Exp $
Do NOT run a dhcp SERVER: This makes it impossible for anyone in your building to log onto the network, and will get CIT very angry. They will then shut off network access to your computer and it will be a pain to get it back. The best thing to do is to make sure that it isn't installed - if it is, make sure it doesn't start automatically (try the ntsysv program for controlling which services get started at boot time)
Are you tired of DOS? Bored with Windows? Looking for something more exciting than OS/2? Then try Linux! Linux is a copy-lefted 32-bit version of Unix for the Intel x86 architecture (IBM PC's and compatibles). It is completely free, and released under the GNU License.
Developed from scratch by Linus Torvalds, with the assistance of a loosely-knit team of hackers from across the 'Net, it aims towards POSIX compliance. Linux is a "full-fledged" implementation of Unix, with all the expected features, including true multitasking, virtual memory, shared libraries, demand loading, shared copy-on-write executables, proper memory management, and TCP/IP networking. For more information on Linux, read the FAQ.
The purpose of this HOWTO is to help anyone at Princeton to configure their Linux system to take advantage of Dormnet. This assumes (a) you have a Dormnet compatible machine, and (b) you already have Linux installed, or are going to do so.
If you're looking for information on installing Linux, check out the Installation HOWTO and Matt Welsh's Linux Installation and Getting Started. There are other sources on installing Linux available on the 'net, but these are the big two.
For more info on all things Linux, check Linuxdoc.org. They are the authoritative source of all the (mainstream) HOWTOs and guides.
This Howto was originally compiled by Mark Woon, and has been maintained by David Menestrina (1998-2000) and Victor Shnayder (2000-2003). The current maintainer is Jamie Faris (firstname.lastname@example.com). PUG would like to thank all those who have contributed to the howto, including:
Everybody is more than welcome to contribute to the faq. Suggestions, ideas, error reports, anything at all, just send them in to me! And before I forget, I'd like to thank all those that have already helped out.
This document is not gospel. Nobody is responsible for what happens to your machine but yourself. If doing anything suggested in this faq causes your computer to go up in flames, destroy all your hard won data, or otherwise do something unpleasant, I'm not responsible. But do mail me about it so I can warn others...
The first step is easy enough: make sure you're registered with CIT. You must have a Dormnet account if you intend to access the net with your Linux box. There are two ways to accomplish this. The easiest is through the World Wide Web; just follow the links from http://www.princeton.edu/Dormnet. You can also do it in person by showing up at CIT headquarters at 171 Broadmead.
Next, you'll have to register your ethernet address. You can do this through the World Wide Web at http://heymon.princeton.edu/hostmaster/ or by e-mailing email@example.com with your name, userid, and your ethernet address.
The easiest way to get your ethernet address is to run 'ifconfig -a' (you have to be root) and look for the HWaddr field of your network card - it will most likely be device eth0.
You might also want to register your alias while you're at it (see section 2.4 below).
It seems that most of this is no longer needed: you should be able
to use DHCP to set up everything automatically. In RedHat, run
linuxconf, go to the Networking/Client tasks/Basic host info/Adaptor 1
tab , and just set the Config mode to DHCP. You will still have to specify the
correct Net device (almost always eth0), and the correct kernel module
for the card (which you need to know-it should be in
/etc/conf.modules). If you get an alias, then enter it in the hostname
field in the host name tab in the same dialog.
If you have a different distribution, look at the docs that came with it for info on setting up DHCP. (Most current install programs should have an option to automatically set up DHCP - all you have to do is input your hostname)
I've left the rest of this section in for now in case the above doesn't work for some reason (it should, and before you give up, triple check everything - do you have the correct module/device, does the card actually work, etc...)
There are several important bits of information that you must know before your Linux box can connect to the network: your IP address, your netmask, your gateway address, and your name server address.
Once you have all these handy-dandy numbers, you're all ready to roll. All distributions I'm familiar with have a script to automatically configure all necessary files. For Red Hat, it's the "Network Configuration" module in control-panel (an X Windows program). For Slackware, it's netconfig. This will start up a program that prompts you for the numbers above. (It will also ask you for some other names - see below.)
Depending on which distribution you use, the configuration script may or may not ask you for the broadcast address. If it doesn't ask you for one, it may have automatically calculated it for you. Check your rc.inet1 file in /etc/rc.d to see that the broadcast address value is set correctly.
You can use more than one name server in the resolv.conf file located in /etc. I would suggest using gambit as the main one and any of the others as backups. This way, machines on Dormnet can resolve their addresses (allowing name lookup, printing, news reading, etc.) even when dormgate, the gateway for dormnet, goes down. UPDATE (01/08/2001): It seems that this machine no longer exists, and that 188.8.131.52 is now printserve.princeton.edu
Note that netconfig only asks for one name server, but you can add additional ones later by editing /etc/resolv.conf .
Here's an example resolv.conf:
domain Princeton.EDU search Princeton.EDU student.Princeton.EDU nameserver 22.214.171.124 # a dormnet nameserver Not anymore it seems nameserver 126.96.36.199 # a princeton nameserver nameserver 126.96.36.199 # an outside nameserver
You can add multiple nameservers directly in Red Hat's "Network Configuration" module in control-panel without messing with resolv.conf.
Now for the fun part - naming your computer! While the name for your computer on Dormnet is always userid.student, you're allowed to have it aliased to something else. For example, if you decide to name your computer Zorro, both userid.student and Zorro now refer to your computer.
The easy part is teaching your computer what it's name is. When running the aforementioned netconfig, it will prompt you for a name. Enter it. When it prompts you for a domain, use princeton.edu. Your computer's full name is now zorro.princeton.edu. For Red Hat's "Network Configuration" module in control-panel, it will ask for both your computer's real name (userid.student.princeton.edu) and any aliases (alias.princeton.edu). You can also use the command /bin/hostname to set the hostname - check the manpage for details.
And what's the hard part, you ask? Well, not so much hard as slow. You'll have to tell the PU hostmaster the name you've given to your computer. This used to take days, but I hear the turn around time is pretty quick now (a day or so - sometimes even less). You can do this through the World Wide Web at http://heymon.princeton.edu/hostmaster/, or by e-mailing email@example.com with your name, userid, the alias you want for your computer.
Here is the basic information needed to configure an email client. Detailed instructions follow for some common email clients, but if yours isn't listed this should be able to figure it out from this.
This section has some specific instructions with screenshots for some popular email programs.
These instructions are for KMail version 1.5.4, but they should work for other versions.
First, open the settings dialog by choosing Configure KMail from the Settings menu. Select the Network button on the left. In the Sending tab, click on Add... and when asked, choose SMTP as the transport. Fill in the dialog box as shown in figures 3.1 and 3.2.
In the Receiving tab, click on Add... and choose IMAP as the account type. Fill in the settings as shown in figure 3.3. For the security settings you want Encryption: Use SSL and Authentication Method: Clear Text.
This needs to be filled in.
This needs to be filled in.
This needs to be filled in. KDE Address Book, others?
I'm not sure how up to date this info is, because I just use netscape when I need to use news - the server is news.princeton.edu.
The news server at Princeton is news.princeton.edu (an alias for cnn.princeton.edu).
Some of the most important things as far as news reading is concerned is to make sure you're posting correctly. Check the headers in your posts, especially the "FROM:" line. If it doesn't say userid@machine_name.princeton.edu, you have something misconfigured somewhere. Here are some likely culprits:
If you run into trouble, I recommend reading the Linux Printing HOWTO and the Printing Usage HOWTO. The former is much more useful for actually setting up printing services on your Linux box, while the latter mainly deals with how to print (programs, etc.).
First go to www.princeton.edu/clusters/printers.shtml and find the printer you want to add. You need to know the Printer Model and the Unix Queue. To print single-sided, replace the last 'd' with 's', for example 'xe_pyne_d' becomes 'xe_pyne_s'. You can add these as two separate printers.
Install the packages cupsys, cupsys-bsd, and
cupsys-client (as root, apt-get install cupsys
cupsys-client cupsys-bsd) . Go to http://localhost:631. Click "Do
Administration Tasks". Click "Add Printer". Enter a short, memorable
name into "Name" (it's the one you'll use on the command line, as in
lpr -Pprintername foo.ps, so you don't want any spaces in
it). Enter whatever you want into "Location" and "Description". Hit
continue. From "Device", pick "LPD/LPR Host or Printer". In "Device
URI", enter, lpd://
Open the Control Center and go to the Printers section under the Peripherals category. Right click on the background of the printers list and select "Add Printer/Class". This will start the Add Printer Wizard. Click next to start.
In order to be able to clear your print jobs through the Pharos print stations, you must print from a user account on your computer with the same name as your netid.
That's it!
ADSM is a backup program that allows you to backup your hard drive through the 'Net onto the OIT servers. To start backing up your Linux partitions, follow this link to the TSM website, which provides installation instructions.
[From the man page:]
NFS (Network File System) allows a client to perform transparent file access over the network. Using it, a client can operate on files that reside on a variety of servers, server architectures, and across avariety of operating systems.
[suggested by Hui-Hui Hu]
[from Leszek Mazur]
Good options to specify are:
This will give you 8kB reads and writes and a timeout value of 15 seconds, so if you're hard mounting cnn and it goes down, your machine won't freeze on boot.
There have been a few problems of late with people trying to run routed. Why they would need to, I have no idea, but they try, and inadvertantly screw up their local network by sending out bogus routing information.
There is a simple solution for this: don't run routed. According to OIT, if you really want to run it, please use the -q option. Slackware's commented out call to routed in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet2 uses the -s flag (which causes the problem), so please delete the flag if you uncomment the line!
While OIT has said that they have changed the system such that a crazy routed will not bring down and entire subnet, let's not tempt fate, ok?
The easiest way to do this is if you have SMBFS (samba file system) support in the kernel (either as a module or compiled in). As far as I know, most distributions have it included by default. If it is, create the directory where you want your UNIX files. (Ex: mkdir /home/user/netID)
Then, run:
mount -t smbfs -o username=netID,password=foobar //smbserve/netID /home/user/netID
If you don't want to put the password on the command line, omit it and you should be prompted for it.
Note: Al Hammell sent me the following instructions for some newer distributions:
I hadn't been able to mount my unix directory according to the howto with newer Linux distributions (Red Hat 7.1,7.2 and Mandrake 8.1,8.2). I was finally able to do it by first editing smb.conf according to this page, http://helpdesk.princeton.edu/kb/display.plx?id=8986, and then mount it with regular user by.
as root,
$ chmod a+s smbmount
then as regular user,
$ smbmount //smbserve/userid /home/directory/smb -o username=userid
This worked on Mandrake 8.2, samba 2.2.4 and I assume it would work on other newer distributions as well.
If the above doesn't work for you, try these older instructions. They have been known to work on various older distributions.
To mount your UNIX directory under Linux, you need the SAMBA package, which is universally available. There are many HOWTOs and other documents available which describe how to do this. On a Red Hat system it is as easy as installing the samba RPM. Once this package is properly installed, set the suid bit for the programs smbmount and smbumount, which are probably located in /usr/bin. This is accomplished with the following commands (run as root).
$ chmod a+s /usr/bin/smbmount
$ chmod a+s /usr/bin/smbumount
Now, as a normal user, create the directory where you want to mount your UNIX directory (say /home/user/userid). Now, to mount your directory there, logged in as user, run the following command:
smbmount //smbserve/userid -c 'mount /home/user/userid' -U userid
Type in your NT password when it asks, and your home directory will be mounted at /home/user/userid. You can simply add the above command to your .login file and it will automatically mount your UNIX directory every time you log into your computer.
Note: Some distributions hack the smbmount command to make its command line slightly easier to type. If the above command doesn't work for you, try the following command instead:
smbmount //smbserve/userid /home/user/userid -U userid
Yet Another Note: If that still doesn't work, get the latest version of Samba (2.2.5 as of 06/19/2002), and read the documentation. (not the manpage though - it was hopelessly out of date last time I checked. Your best bet is to just run the program with no options, which makes it spit out usage info (or of course check the website)) If you get a different version to work, please send me mail and tell me what you did. Also, newer kernels have smbfs as a supported filesystem, so support for that needs to be compiled in (Mine doesn't for some reason - I guess I screwed up my config when I last recompiled, which is why I can't give better info here)
> Error returning browse list: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED
when trying to list shares?
smbclient -L dormprint -U netid -W PRINCETON
smbclient //dormprint/Forbes -U netid -W PRINCETON
First of all, there isn't anywhere near enough info here - I will just give some general suggestions and provide some links to (much) more detailed info.
As a matter of fact, if you're at all serious about securing your machine , you might as well just start reading some of these right away, so I'll put the links first (these are in no particular order):
Here are the general idea for making your machine secure:
I'll now cover each point in a bit more detail:
The first point is one which a lot of people seem to completely forget while worrying about hackers on the net - you computer can be unplugged from the network completely, but if someone can walk into your room and walk out with it, it won't help you any if your machine is "hackerproof" (and there's no such thing :). Not much more can be said for this then "use common sense".
Don't run unnecessary services: This is the general principle of getting security - most current distributions have a very unsecure default install. To see what you have running, run ps -aux and look for things like inetd, httpd, nfsd, smbd, nmbd, and other things that end with d :). Most services (but not all) are run from inetd. So basically, what you want to do is comment out everything in /etc/inetd.conf unless you have a good reason to keep it running. Then run killall -HUP inetd. Even better, just don't run inetd at all if you don't need anything from it. Note: As far as I know, Red Hat 7 doesn't use inetd anymore, but something called xinetd instead. Read the docs for info on how to disable services.
Other things to watch for - apache (it will show up as httpd), ftp (this may or may not be run out of inetd), samba (smbd, nmbd), and anything else you don't recognize (Be careful about just killing random processes though - for example, xfs is the X font server, and is needed for X to run). To change whether these servers start up, you can use linuxconf, run ntsysv (at least on redhat), or just change the symlinks in /etc/rc.* by hand.
Don't use telnet/rcp/rlogin... - this is a particular case of the above: all these programs send everything in the session (including the password) over the network in plain text, where it can be sniffed very easily (I've seen it done - the programs out there make it completely trivial). Use SSH instead (see below).
Use SSH - get a free implementation at www.openssh.com. They provide a server as well as a client, and also have scp, which is a replacement for rcp. SSH is very easy to use - it is basically identical to telnet: just use ssh [-l username] hostname to connect to other machines (of course, see the docs for more info :). If you need access to your machine from remote computers, use sshd. It is also very easy to set up, and provides secure connections to your machines. There are also a bunch of free windows clients for ssh, so you can connect to your machine even if you're stuck with a windows machine at home. You can find a list of free ssh programs at www.freessh.org (if I can't install any of these for some reason, and have to connect to a machine that only allows ssh (as it should), I can telnet to phoenix or some other OIT machine, and then use ssh from there - this does of course defeat the point somewhat, but it does give you a way to get to your machine in emergencies without running telnet.)
So to summarize on services... here are the services that I think
constitute a secure system (for a personal workstation):
httpd (If you have a good reason why the web page space on phoenix isn't good enough for you)
And nothing else unless you really need it.
Keep up to date on patches - there are security holes found in different packages all the time - keep a lookout on your distribution's site and keep your machine up to date. An easy way on redhat is to download all the files in the updates directory for your version, and use rpm -Fvh - this will "freshen" everything, so it will only install updated versions of programs that you already have.
Don't give accounts to people you can't trust - getting shell access is the first step to getting root on a machine, and usually the hardest step. Don't give out accounts, and don't do things like giving all your friends a single account with a single password - it will be very likely that soon that info will be given to others (for some reason, people think that if 10 people already know the password, giving it to someone else isn't a big deal).
Firewall - I haven't had time to set one up myself, so I can't say much about it besides the fact that running one is a pretty good idea, especially if are running services beyond those mentioned above, and it isn't too hard. Read the Firewall HOWTO for more info.
Intrusion detection - these can be useful, though they may be a bit of overkill for a personal system. I've personally used Tripwire. It's one of the best ones out there, and is free for linux.
The most important thing however, is to scroll back up and click on a couple of those security links (and then read the pages that come up :) - this is just a brief overview from someone who isn't an expert on security, and shouldn't be taken as being anywhere near all you need to know.

|Mock election peaks Landeck students' political interests
|Wednesday, November 07, 2012 2:10 PM
First-grade teacher Sue Barclay, who has taught at Landeck for 8 years, held the school's first mock Presidential Election 4 years ago. She believes and teaches her students that everyone has their own voice and it is their right to speak up.
"The first time we did it," Barclay reflected back, "McCain won. Today, Romney won 92 to Obama's 34."
The mock election has served as a catalyst for a variety of classroom learning activities. Barclay ties her Social Studies lessons to the historical value of the election process.
The kids are taught that rather than having a king in power, the founding fathers of the United States created a system where the American people had the power and responsibility to select their leader. With this new system, George Washington, the first U.S. president, was elected in 1789. At that time, only white men who owned property could vote but the 15th, 19th and 26th Amendments to the Constitution have since expanded the right of suffrage to all citizens over 18. Taking place every four years, presidential campaigns and elections and the stories behind each provides a road map to the events of U.S. history.
"In addition, I integrate the tallying of the votes into a mathematics lesson," Barclay explained.
The election has also generated conversations between students voicing their perspectives on the candidates and political process. Generally, the students agree that the election is beneficial for everyone.
"There's no king controlling the country and telling people what to do." Emily Rode declared, "It is better for everyone and for the country."

I work for a state health program and am looking for the most efficient way to route inspectors from restaurant to restaurant. This is something like the travelling salesman problem, but with additional complexities. We have 75 inspectors, making less than 8 hour round trips from 17 different offices, inspecting ~18,000 businesses at 1.25 hours an inspection (not counting travel time). These businesses either need inspected annually, 3 times a year, or 5 times a year depending on their assigned risk level. Does anyone have any ideas/suggestions for this? I am talking to Telogis and Viamente as far as getting quotes for using their products but am interested in looking into all avenues. It's possible this is not on the right Stackexchange, if you know of a more appropriate venue I'd appreciate knowing that as well.

Geographic Information Systems Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for cartographers, geographers and GIS professionals. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Our FleetEngine software can also handle such tasks, although you would have to break the problem into smaller tasks, to handle it efficiently.
I have been using RouteSmart for some time, and recommend it highly. It's specifically designed to solve "high density" routing problems (~20K points is something I would refer to as dense), i.e., those involving a very large number of points that must be serviced regularly. It is not an open-source product but imho worth investing to.
If you do not have a problem with Java code you could have a look into my Open Source GraphHopper project.

I have some doubts and questions with AllFiles and TCB capabilities.
Let me clear from my point of view.
I just want to test on only one phone(one IMEI). I don't want to purchase ACS Publisher ID right now. And I don't want to pay for Manufaturer's capabilities right now.
I am going to have developer certificate for other required capabilities(except AllFiles and TCB-as they are not supported without manufacture's capabilities+ACS Publisher's ID)
Now it goes here:
In my application, i want to hide my application's icon from the phone on particular event, say on SMS arrival, on phone call ,etc.. any particluar sort of event which belongs to my application.
Now the SDK help says:
In earlier versions i was able to do it with changing some attributes of my file from the system\apps\.... But in 3rd edition there are lot many problems even if i want to modify my own file attributes.\resource
Read-only resource files shared by (potentially) all applications.
Applications without any capabilities can read these files.
Tcb capability required to modify the \resource contents.
The Software installer adds and updates these files, but not anything else.
So my questions are:
1) Can't i process with my own file for genuine reason?
2) How much it will cost for manufacturer's capabilites? Any clue.
3) Do you have any other solution to hide my application's icon on particular event?
Please help me. I am stuck here.
Any pointers, help will be greatly appreciated....
Waiting for your replies............

Rapid Deployment CCTV
A single rapid deployment CCTV trailer and mobile surveillance tower with immediate vast
360° panoramic coverage for effective temporary outdoor surveillance
Known as the solution to the problem of open space security, the Viseum Intelligent Moving Camera (Viseum IMC) is commonly known as a virtual guard, a virtual operator and a virtual gigapixel camera and significantly out-performs the industry's leading megapixel cameras.

for London's River Thames Olympic torch relay
Rapid Deployment CCTV Trailer / Mobile CCTV Tower
for Temporary 360 CCTV Coverage
Viseum's rapid deployment CCTV (mobile surveillance tower) intelligent surveillance system can be easily moved from one location to the next and becomes fully operational within moments to provide temporary surveillance. Each intelligent surveillance trailer produces more court quality identification evidence than a minimum of 200 installed standard high resolution fixed cameras and is proven to outperform at least 5 to 6 of any other advanced PTZ camera installation – and without the need for any surveillance infrastructure.
Rapid deployment CCTV tower / mobile surveillance CCTV tower endorsed
by major UK Police Force as their temporary CCTV surveillance of choice.

Using the best in class intelligent PTZ camera array, security organisations are proven to be significantly more productive. A recent endorsement shows that a single surveillance operator using just 4 Viseum rapid deployment security cameras produced more results, more easily and more quickly, than more operators using at least 20 of any other advanced pan tilt zoom camera deployment.
Known as portable surveillance, surveillance tower, mobile surveillance tower, temporary CCTV, or rapid deployment surveillance trailer, the Viseum system is ideal for short-term events, or other temporary deployment security (for example, construction site security). The best value for money for reducing, or even eliminating crime, as well as freeing up staffing resources to focus on other security issues. This results in the reduction, or even the elimination, of security deployment management and cost headaches.
Rapid Deployment CCTV Trailer
for Remote Site Security
Before the availability of Viseum's rapid deployment CCTV and intelligent surveillance trailer, the costs related to other technical solution to today's typical surveillance really precluded the provision of any protection for the majority of temporary events, crime hot spots, and many other environments which would benefit from rapid deployment security. This particular Viseum trailer has overcome all technical and financial constraints to provide effective surveillance even for the most challenging environments. Indeed, Viseum's security cameras are all that's needed for security.

Deep beneath the border of France and Switzerland, the world's most massive physics machine is sending subatomic particles smashing into each other at speeds nearing the speed of light. Physicists working with the 17-mile-long Large Hadron Collider hope it will help solve some of the universe's mysteries.
But first, researchers must overcome two very mundane hurdles: how to handle all of the data the LHC generates, and how to get non-scientists to care.
One physicist has a novel way to solve both problems: sound.
"I have some musician friends that I was talking to about physics, which I do a lot, if people will let me, and I was doing impersonations of particles — as you do — or maybe not," Lily Asquith says with a laugh. She is a physicist who until recently worked with the LHC at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research.
Here's How It Works
The concept underlying the LHC Sound project is a principle called sonification — using data to make sound. At the most basic level, sonification correlates any physical property, such as a distance, speed or direction, to a sound property such as loudness, pitch or duration. On her blog, Lily Asquith explains how to make sound out of anything. The audio clip below is sonified data from the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. Here's how the sound was made: Enlarge image Lily Asquith/LHC Sound Listen To The Data playlist As a beam of particles is fired through the detector, three data points are collected and mapped to sound parameters: (1) The distance the particle travels away from the beam (dR in the diagram above) becomes the sound's pitch, (2) the amount of energy a particle has correlates to volume, and (3) how far the particle travels becomes the timing of the notes. Asquith, like many physicists, spends a lot of time thinking about particles like the elusive Higgs boson — the subatomic particle that scientists say endows everything in the universe with mass. Proving the existence of the Higgs boson is one of the main goals of the collider.
"You tend to personify things that you think about a lot," she says. She gives particles personalities, colors and sounds. "I think electrons, perhaps, sound like a glockenspiel to me."
In the process of the search for the Higgs, the collider generates a massive amount of information — more than 40 million pieces of data every second. And that's just from the ATLAS detector, one of the four main detectors in the deep underground complex that tunnels back and forth across the French-Swiss border.
So Asquith was trying to figure out a new way to understand and sort through all of this data. The LHC currently produces colorful images as an output from the data — sprays of particles in different directions.
"It's quite easy to step from there, really, to consider that there could be some kind of sound associated with these things," she says.
Making Sound From The Data
She thought about a heart monitor in a hospital; it turns the electrical data from your heart into sound.
"You don't have to watch the monitor because you can hear it without making any effort," she says. "Just a steady beep — you can quite easily detect if it starts going quicker or if it stops even for a second."
She wondered what would happen if she used music composition software to turn data from the collider into sound. So she fed in a sample of the LHC data — three columns of numbers.
"So we'll map, for example, the first column of numbers, which may be a distance, to time," Asquith says. "And we may map the second column of numbers to pitch, and the third, perhaps, to volume."
What she got isn't quite music, but sounds that are more out of this world — bells, beeps and clangs.
Interpreting The Sounds
Right now, Asquith says, the sounds don't tell scientists very much. But she hopes that in the future, it could help them understand the data in new ways.
Video: Colliding Particles This animation shows a collision between particles in the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. Note: the video clip has no sound.
Credit: ATLAS Experiment She says that in certain situations, it's much easier to use your ears than your eyes, particularly with something that's changing over time. Collider data do that.
"You could certainly have an alarm system which told you when, for example, you have an event which looks ridiculous according to what you've expected," she says. "And that's quite difficult to do using your eyes."
But the project is doing something else — making what's going on at the collider accessible and interesting to people without a Ph.D. That includes many of Lily's friends who are musicians.
They are really interested in — even fascinated by — what's going on at the LHC. But she says they start to look frightened when she brings up the hard science.
"I just think that's unnecessary that it frightens people — it should be something that everyone should enjoy," she says.

We celebrated our one month anniversary a few days ago, so it seemed fitting to run with the very first episode that we produced back when we were kicking around ideas for getting the podcast off the ground. It's a page out of Kevin's research on the history of hacker culture, which turns to a meditation on the role of telephony and sound in our world. Enjoy!
Major Thanks…
The phreak who goes by Mark Bernay is a wonderful and gracious guy for talking with me and for lending me some of his audio to use in this episode. If you want to check out more of his recordings, head over to Phone Trips.
Once long past, listening gave clues for survival. Now we listen unconsciously, blocking noise and tuning in to what we want to hear. Yet the unwanted sounds we filter out tell us a lot about our environment and our lives. Broadcaster Teresa Goff listens for the messages in our walls of sound.
As civilization has become more mechanized, more urbanized and more digitized, the amount of noise has increased in tandem. This noise, according to Garrett Keizer, author of The Unwanted Sound of Everything We Want: A Book about Noise , "is a window for understanding some of the paradoxes and contradictions of being human." If you take the sum total of all sounds within any area, what you have is an intimate reflection of the social, technological, and natural conditions of that place.
Hildegard Westerkamp, a founding member of the World Forum for Acoustic Ecology, says that "Environmental sound is like a spoken word with each sound or soundscape having its own meanings and expressions." So when you listen to the noise, what does it have to tell you? "Noise is a pit of interpretation," says noise musician Brian Chippendale. Broadcaster Teresa Goff goes into the pit with her documentary, The Signal of Noise.
Reverb is a natural phenomenon, but for more than 60 years, sound engineers have found artificial ways to recreate it in music.
For reasons that remain mostly mysterious, the note we call "B flat" does the oddest things. It aggravates alligators, it lurks in the stairwell of an office building, and it emanates from a supermassive black hole 250 million light years from Earth.

On this episode of "Mustang Physics," Matt Bellis (Stanford University) discusses his spontaneous collaboration with both physicists and non-physicists that has turned particle collision data into music with the goal of giving new communities an experience with physics data. "Mustang Physics" is your gateway into the world of physics and the lives and thoughts of physicists.
Matt Bellis is a post-doctoral researcher at Stanford University. He works on the BaBar Experiment at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. He presented the SMU Physics Department Seminar on March 7, 2011, where he discussed his work on the search for fundamental symmetry violations that might explain our asymmetric cosmos. He spoke with me about his effort to use particle physics data to produce music. This effort would allow whole new communities to experience and use particle physics data.

It takes only a few seconds of sound — a spaceship launching, the familiar clash of lightsabers — to know that you are positively not in Kansas anymore. These are the sounds of Star Wars — from a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, three-dimensional in a way that envelops you and that has changed the way movie soundtracks get assembled.
Now the most celebrated of these sounds have been collected for a new book-and-audio collection, The Sounds of Star Wars, written by J.W. Rinzler and including a foreword by the architect of that audioscape himself: renowned sound designer Ben Burtt.

I'm rating this trip a 4 out of 5, mainly for the dining issues.
Parking and embarkation in Miami was fairly quick and easy, not cheap though. $120 for 6 days. Check in time was 1-3 PM with a 4 PM departure, we arrived about 1:30 PM. We basically drove up, dropped off the luggage, parked, walked in, waited on line about 10 minutes for security/passport check, then less than 10 minutes upstairs for sail and sign cards/pics. We opted for the advance online check in and completed our account set up prior to arriving.
Our room was ready as soon as we boarded (2 PM), and our luggage was there about an hour later (3 PM). We were able to get settled and start exploring the ship an hour before departure. My only complaint with the time period between 2 PM - 4 PM was there seemed to not be any A/C in any interior area, I mentioned something and they said they were working on it.
We opted for an interior room this trip mainly due to cost, it was $299 PP for the week + taxes/fees. A great deal! The room was small but acceptable, the king bed was set up, there was adequate room and storage for 2 people, room and bathroom were clean. Throughout the week the room steward kept the room tidy and well stocked with towels and extra soap. No issues with the room.
If you are someone who likes to sleep in on the Sea Days, you will not be able to past 10 AM. Butch the Cruise Director came on promptly at 10 AM on the PA system and detailed all of the days activities.
The ship itself was lacking interior decorating pizzazz, it has a subdued tropical decor which was nice but a bit boring.
We did not use the spa services, although noticed the prices for them declined daily to peak your interest.
We utilized each pool (2 available) and found an abundance of lounge chairs available at anytime.
We enjoyed the hammocks on the Serenity Deck (adults only/21 over) however the placement of this "serene" area is next to and under the stairs/loading area for the water slides which didn't make it very tranquil or private.
The casino was a lot of fun, the machines actually were paying out, I hit a jackpot over $100 and we had a lot of staying/playing power on a little budget.
The fitness center was well stocked with equipment, my only complaint was that it was warm.
We were unable to make any of the comedy shows, the lines were long, the waits were long, and the venue must have been small because they shut the doors 1/2 way through the line. We tried 3 times.
OK, so all was great so far, BUT we were fairly disappointed with the food buffets and dining room. The buffets are closed quite a bit for long stretches of time. We were seated in the Blush Dining Room (Lower) for the late dinner, our table was in a corner next to a busy wait station. I looked at 2 walls for a week. I tried to change the location but was told nothing was available, although the dining room was slightly over 1/2 full each night. Dinner the first night took over 1 hour to receive and almost 2 hours total for all courses, it was like they never served dinner before and it was their first time. Our waiter was rushed and did not interact with us at all, nothing like any other cruise I've been on. Night after night, they did not remember the few little things that we liked routinely. Variety, presentation and freshness of food was acceptable. There is no fanfare in the dining room.

This was in a fan shot, but HAWKEYES can attest to the lack of exposure in that realm. All credit for this link goes to Newsinz. And to get to the word limit, what say I?
Yes. This team begs for taking advantage of athleticism. Practicing with a 14 second shot clock? I really think trades should wait until closer to the deadline just to assess what we really have, unless of course a no-brainer deal comes along. DJ, T-Time, Crash, D-Brown... These guys are just begging to be out on the break. At the very least, exciting basketball brings in the fans. For example: I would rather watch the Clippers than the Bulls. Derrick Rose is very exciting, but watching Boozer on the block puts me to sleep. Meanwhile, the Clippers are losing but all I can remember is Blake Griffin starting an entire art gallery of posterizing dunks.
Ladies and gentlemen, I think we may be in for a wild ride the rest of the season.

text: Fish, Wildlife & Parks officials are still tallying the final numbers, but so far they've recorded more than 350 boats harboring aquatic invasive species. FWP officials said most of the dangerous species found on or in boats were invasive weeds, but 13 inspections turned up zebra or quagga mussels. Officials said these types of mussels are from eastern Europe and therefore have no natural predators in Montana.FWP officials said the mussels strain nutrients out of water bodies, destroy boat motors, and when they die, their shells become sharp hazards on beaches. Linnaea Shroeer, of Fish, Wildlife & Parks, said, "They breed extremely prolifically, and if the conditions are right, they can quickly overwhelm the native populations."Twenty FWP crews inspected about 24,000 boats all over the state, and those teams found the mussels on boats in Dillon, Hardin, Swan Lake and Wibaux. They advise all boaters to run your hand over your boat, drain standing water, and if possible, use high pressure hot water to clean the boat or let it completely dry in the sun.

CATEGORIES Documentary, Fandom, Exhibition, Newsstand, Movies, CinematicalI can hear you now. "My life would be complete, if only I could watch all 485 minutes of Andy Warhol's Empire. Preferably outside, perhaps in London." I don't know how many times I've said the same thing myself - and our chance has finally come! (The film, which consists of a single, overnight shot of the Empire State Building, promoted Warhol to announce that he preferred movie-making to painting, because the former was easier.)
Empire will be shown four times in London next month, projected every Friday night onto the facade of the National Theatre (notice the proper spelling). Each screening will begin at dusk, so that night in New York and night in London will coincide. While only the certifiably insane are likely to sit and watch the thing for eight hours, it would be pretty cool to glance over and see the Empire State Building on the banks of the Thames, if only for a few minutes.
[Curious non-Londoners can see a clip here.]

"I love the that the card is an ornament for friends and family to display on their tree. Shipping was super slow but according to tracking there was a storm that delayed shipping. I still got my cards in plenty of time to send out so not horrible."
"This card was perfect from start to finish. Formatting and ordering the card was simple, even for those who are not tech-savvy. There were 3 colors to choose from. Shipping was very quick. I was nervous about how much time it would take to tie on the ribbons, but it went surprisingly quickly. I have received so much positive feedback from my friends and family- they all love the fact that this can be hung on the tree!"
"I personalized this card by changing the color to red and putting my children's recent family picture on it. The card turned out beautifully. The paper the card is made of is sturdy and thick. I chose to have the image printed in matte vs glossy. My cards arrived quickly and came with ribbon so the receiver can hang it on their Christmas tree. The envelope that came with the cards are opaque. Overall, I am pleased with the outcome of my cards & with Tiny Prints. Everything turned out nicely & I highly recommend these cards."
"Such a great concept! Friends and Family loved the ornament and will hang on the tree each year! The quality met all my expectations and more! The card is larger than I expected, which was nice. The ribbon was quality and coordinated well. I highly recommend this product. I have ordered numerous photo cards from TP in the last 3 years, each time I'm a satisfied customer. Keep in mind, the photo itself is matte finish. Be sure your resolution etc is suitable or the photo will seem dull."

NASCAR announced two rule changes for Talladega Superspeedway on Wednesday morning it apparently hopes will address the two-car drafts that are unpopular with some fans and competitors.
The changes:
• NASCAR will increase the size of the restrictor-plate by 1/64 of an inch, which will add 7-10 horsepower to the motors.
• Officials will set the pop-off valve in the cooling system to spout off with less water pressure than before.
So what do the changes mean?
Hopefully, it means drivers won't be able to stay in the two-car draft as long. There's no doubt the two-car tandems will still exist, even at the slightly higher speeds; but drivers won't want to lose water when their engines begin to overheat sooner than before, so they'll probably switch more often.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. has been a big proponent of dramatically increasing the size of the restrictor plate to get rid of the two-car drafts, arguing that drivers won't be able to draft as they do now at much higher speeds.
NASCAR's move is a small step in that direction, though not as much as Earnhardt Jr. wanted.
"After the last few superspeedway races, we've heard many drivers express their desire to open up the size of the restrictor plate some and we thought the time was right to do that," said NASCAR vice president of competition Robin Pemberton. "We anticipate these revisions in the rules package for Talladega will help continue to provide competitive and exciting racing for the fans."
Front Row Motorsports competition director Derrick Finley said speeds will go over the 200 mph mark now, but he assumes NASCAR "is comfortable with it."
"As far as breaking up the two-car draft, it probably won't," he said. "Cars have already been running with the lower-PSI pressure relief valve and have been able to make it work. So, dropping it eight PSI probably won't have a lot of affect on it.
"But as far as more horsepower, these guys are paid to go fast and that's what they do. It won't stop them from hooking up. I think they'll just go faster."
Martin Truex Jr.'s crew chief, Chad Johnston, said the rule changes will make drivers switch more often – "which could be a good thing or it could be a bad thing."
"The chances of something going wrong on a swap are going to go up obviously, but hopefully it will eliminate or lessen the two-by-two racing," he said.
David Reutimann crew chief Rodney Childers predicted cars would only be able to do a two-car draft for "a half of a lap or a lap" before having to switch.

The hardest part was finding dried pears. The process was simple. The taste was unique. Many asked for the recipe. You could use pecans instead of walnuts.

MADISON (WKOW) -- Co-workers of missing man Charles Geurts tell 27 News nothing was out of the ordinary in Geurts' behavior, as Geurts and other workers socialized in Madison before Geurts disappeared on the eve of a work conference.
Bill Madigan of Agri-Partners Co-op says he and more than a dozen of the firm's employees dined at Samba's restaurant in downtown Madison Tuesday evening. Madigan says Geurts and others went bowling, and he heard the group arrive home at the Sheraton Hotel.
"They didn't feel there was anything excessive, they were doing anything out of the ordinary," Madigan tells 27 News.
Madison Police spokesperson Joel DeSpain says hotel surveillance camera video shows Geurts leaving the hotel just after 2 A.M. Wednesday morning.
DeSpain says there is nothing to indicate any foul play in Geurts' disappearance.
DeSpain also says there are no apparent, red flags in the life of the 26-year old Kaka agronomist. "His life was going quite well," DeSpain tells 27 News.
DeSpain and co-workers tell 27 News Geurts failed to attend Tuesday's opening day of the conference of agricultural consultants at the Alliant Energy Center due to business appointments, and attendance at a funeral. They say Geurts met co-workers at the restaurant Tuesday evening.
Using police dogs and a police officer on horseback, authorities conducted searches of the hotel grounds Thursday, a large wooded area of cross country ski trails with access to Lake Monona, and portions of the lake itself. DeSpain said searching had also taken place Wednesday.
DeSpain said reverse 911 calls were placed to lakefront residents in both Madison and Monona to urge them to check garages and outbuildings for any sign of Geurts.
"He joined us at the restaurant and seemed fine," co-worker Amy Haack tells 27 News.
"When you find out someone that you know, that works with you, all of a sudden, isn't there, and you don't know what happened, it's unnerving," Haack says.
MADISON (WKOW) -- Madison police have done a reverse 911 call to residents regarding a missing man.
Charles Geurts, 26, from Kaukauna, was in town with co-workers for the WABA Convention and Trade Show at the Alliant Energy Center.
Joel DeSpain with the Madison Police Department says Geurts went out with co-workers Tuesday evening and at some point came back to his hotel room. His roommate told police it didn't appear Geurts ever went to sleep and may have left the hotel room again.
DeSpain says it would also be prudent for residents living near Waunona Way to check their property, as a bike path connects the area of disappearance to Waunona Way, and it's possible Mr. Geurts could have walked in that direction. The police are also asking those who live along the John Nolen Drive corridor to check their detached garages, sheds, etc., just in case Geurts tried to find shelter.
MADISON (WKOW) -- Madison police are searching again Thursday morning for a man who went missing early Wednesday.
Police say Charles Geurts, 26, from Kaukauna, was in town with co-workers for the WABA Convention and Trade Show at the Alliant Energy Center. Joel DeSpain with the Madison Police Department says Geurts went out with co-workers Tuesday evening and at some point came back to his hotel room. But his roommate told police it didn't appear Geurts ever went to sleep and might have left the hotel room again.
Police searched behind the Sheraton Hotel on John Nolen Drive Wednesday morning with K-9s and are back out there Thursday morning to search the area again.
Investigators say they're concerned about Geurts' welfare because of the cold weather. They do not suspect foul play and say Geurts is not believed to be a danger to himself or anyone else. They also don't believe he left the area.
Geurts is 26, about 5'11" tall with blond hair and blue eyes. He was last seen wearing a gray sweatshirt, blue jeans and boots.
DeSpain says Geurts works for Agri-Partners Co-op out of Appleton.
If you know where he is, contact the Madison Police Department at (608) 266-4275.
