I'm surprised he didn't try to make the guy look stupid or try to call him unamerican. It seems Neil is of a higher caliber than most Fox News pundits. He always seemed to treat Dr. Paul with respect as well. Hopefully Neil's corporate overlords don't pull the plug on his program like they did with Judge Napolitano.

With nearby Cambodia's tourism market eclipsing 4.2 million in 2013, the stage is set for growth this year.
There is an underlying concern though that one single destination within the country is overleveraging growth.
In this case its Siem Reap where last year's tally of overseas visitors was more than 2.2 million and well over half of the sum total for all of Cambodia.
There remain fears of the destination being a one trick pony, though development of the Southern coastal areas is seeing momentum.

Today, Thumbtack Technology published a blog post highlighting the final results of the NoSQL benchmark (link).
In June, the databases were benchmarked on 4 physical servers. I could see MongoDB and DataStax in the rearview mirror (link). Then, the databases were benchmarked on 4, 6, and 8 physical servers.
The performance tests were executed with two workloads.
Today we released a very minor version 1.3.9 of the Couchbase .NET SDK with a single patch. With the .NET SDK 2.0 Beta just around the corner, priorities have shifted to 2.0 development and specifically: stamping out major bugs, documentation and the new example applications.
As always, the binaries can be found on S3 or you can install it directly througgh Nuget by typeing the following in the Nuget Package Manager Console:
Hi Couchbase Mobile users, since our 1.0.0 release we've been make gradual pushes of bug fixes and performance optimizations to the public. Our latest efforts in addressing the feedback we received for 1.0.0 was made this week with the release of 1.0.2 packages for Couchbase Lite iOS and Android, as well as a 1.0.2 release for the Sync Gateway.
Alex Heneveld, CTO Cloudsoft, will be introduce Apache Brooklyn (link) and demonstrate how to deploy Couchbase Server to Amazon Web Services with Cloudsoft Application Management Platform (AMP), a commerically supported distribution of Apache Brooklyn.
What is Apache Brooklyn?
Brooklyn is a framework for modeling, monitoring, and managing applications through autonomic blueprints.
Brooklyn is a framework for modeling, monitoring, and managing applications through autonomic blueprints.
On behalf of the whole SDK team I'm happy to announce the first beta release of the Java/JVM SDK release train nicknamed Armstrong. It contains both the JVM core package "core-io" 1.0.0-beta as well as the Java SDK 2.0.0-beta.
I am pleased to announce the beta release of the new PHP SDK. This release includes a few minor interface changes from the previous release (developer preview 2), as well as the addition of a more comprehensive management interface.
So here is what has been happening in Couchbase recently
Couchbase 3.0 Office Hours Matt, Don, Michael and Annie did a great hangout focusing on 3.0, which is out in beta right now and answered questions along the way.
require('lx') Had its anniversary meetup (yes there was cake) and Phil talked about Couchbase node.js and how it works together to build applications which scale.
Today we are releasing version 1.3.8 of the Couchbase .NET SDK. Like the previous couple of 1.X releases, this is a bug fix/maintanence release. Note that nearly all new development is happening on the 2.0 Version of the .NET SDK, which should be GA early this fall!
On behalf of the whole SDK team I'm happy to announce the third developer preview of the Java/JVM SDK release train nicknamed Armstrong. It contains both the JVM core package "core-io" 0.3 as well as the Java SDK 2.0 developer preview 3.
This preview provides many more APIs which bring us closer to API completion (and a beta release to follow), as well as changes to configuration management and dependencies.

Jon Stewart Rally Draws Modest TV Audience
1:24 PM PDT 11/1/2010 by James Hibberd
Comedy Central's coverage of Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert's weekend rally drew a modest TV audience.
According to the network, 2 million viewers tuned in between noon and 3 p.m. on Saturday to watch the hosts and musical guests entertain about 200,000 fans on the Washington mall.
Many more doubtless saw the show online, or caught coverage on the cable networks newtorks.
This time period rarely draws big numbers for non-sports networks (the Rally audience was more than three times what the Comedy Central slot averages).
Still, the rally received enormous media hype and 2 million is less than your average viewership for an episode of Comedy Central's Tosh.0.

David Murdock donates $50M to research institute in Kannapolis
Send this to a friend
- Jennifer Thomas
- Staff Writer- Charlotte Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+
The David H. Murdock Research Institute in Kannapolis received a $50 million gift Wednesday from its founder, David Murdock.
The nonprofit institute is part of N.C. Research Campus, a 350-acre biotech hub in Kannapolis, which Murdock also founded.
The donation will support operations at the research institute over the next eight years.
"This is truly a long-term transformational gift for operations," says Steve Lommel, interim president of the research institute. "It really does liberate us to grow."
The donation will allow the institute to begin conducting its own research tied to improving health and life through nutrition.
That, in turn, will help attract more clients and potential tenants to the research campus to take advantage of collaborative opportunities, Lommel says.
The funds also will help cover the costs of replacing the lab's state-of-the art scientific equipment as it ages. That equipment includes mass spectrometers used to identify small molecules, and genomic sequencers used to evaluate DNA.
"The kind of questions we're trying to answer are really big questions," Lommel says. "The research addresses big issues and solutions."
Murdock established the institute to serve as a core laboratory for the research campus. It provides research support to the university and partners on campus. It also conducts contract research for companies and organizations off campus.
Lommel notes the money will aid ongoing recruitment efforts for the research institute's next president.
Lommel has filled that role on an interim basis since June 2012, since former N.C. State Chancellor James Oblinger resigned. Oblinger had been president of the research institute since September 2011.
Jennifer Thomas covers retail, health care and education for the Charlotte Business Journal.

Vt. man charged with Hanover burglaries
HANOVER - Two incidents of a man sneaking into a home in town has lead to the arrest of a Vermont man on burglary charges.
Hanover police said the burglary suspect was arrested after he was confronted by residents in two homes early Sunday.
The first report came from residents of a Buell Street address who told police they arrived home shortly before 6 a.m. to find the man in their house. Police said the man left without an altercation.
Some time later, those residents discovered that cash was missing from their home and called police.
A short while later, there was a similar incident on Mitchell lane.
A description of the invader in both incidents was compiled and police arrested Dean Carvalho, 21, of Windsor Vt.
Carvalho was charged with multiple counts of burglary.
Any resident who may have experienced a similar incident involving someone entering their home has been asked to contact Hanover Police at 643-2222.
Police also said it is important to lock doors at night and when away.

Information is fed to the control unit and consequently also to the microcontroller contained in it via various connections. The control unit and the microcontroller contained in it are able to output control signals via other connections. As a function of specifiable data, the vehicle electrical system control unit opens or closes the connection between the two batteries, and goes over into a sleep mode after switching off. In this context, for the wake-up from the sleep mode, a field effect transistor is patched through for putting into operation the control unit by supplying a signal.
[0003] Control units like the vehicle electrical system control unit just described are, as a rule, sent into a standby mode or a sleep mode based on the no-signal current requirements, or rather their no-signal current consumption, when it happens not to be needed, or rather, is not being used. This applies to all control units, just as, for instance, to the vehicle electrical system control unit or comfort control units or peripheral control units in particular in a vehicle, which do not have to execute an uninterrupted processing of tasks with respect to their function. This also applies, for instance, to control units in locking systems, control units which drive servomotors such as, for example, for window lifters or a sunroof, or even an outer mirror adjustment.
[0004] All these control units which are intermittently able to be put into standby mode or sleep mode, independent of whether they are being used in the vehicle or elsewhere, are cyclically activated in a sort of polling operation. This applies above all to the controller, as well as parts of the periphery. It thereby becomes possible, during these active phases, to record time-critical and other external events and signals, such as switching positions. Depending on that, the entire control unit is then activated anew or remains in sleep mode or standy mode. This method leads to a high current consumption of the control unit.
[0005] Now if, for example, several control units are simultaneously activated in this way, then for each control unit only ascertain part of the overall available energy or current is usable. In this manner, either not many control units are able to be operated simultaneously like this, or attempts are made to solve the problem, in that very large scanning times, that is, cycle times, are selected between two activity phases.
[0006] Thus, the related art has not been able to yield optimum results in all regards. What is important, therefore, is to develop a concept by which the problem situation that was addressed is able to be mastered.
[0007] The present invention starts from a method and a circuit for inputting a start signal, as a function of the start signal a controller being transferred from a first state, a standby mode or a sleep mode, into a second state of an active nature; the energy consumption of the controller in the second state being higher than in the first state. In an advantageous manner this is achieved in that the circuit has a clocked energy source which emits an energy signal within the scope of this clocking, and the start signal is formed as a function of this energy signal.
[0008] By doing this, in an advantageous manner, a reduction in the no-signal current consumption of the control unit may be achieved in connection with the circuit according to the present invention, while at the same time the real-time capability with respect to recording the signals during the first energy-poor state, i.e. the sleep mode or standby mode is maintained, to a great extent.
[0009] By the use of the wake-up circuit according to the present invention, the actual control unit may even be switched off completely, and only the wake-up circuit, that is, the circuitry, may be supplied with energy. Thereby, chiefly the rest energy consumption, especially the no-signal current consumption of the wake-up circuitry is relevant, which is able to be reduced to a minimum by the use of the clocked energy source or a clocked energy signal.
[0010] This also eliminates the necessity, for reasons of energy or current, of recording and processing the signals which may lead to the activation of the control unit or the controller only at large time intervals.
[0011] By using a threshold circuit element, especially a comparator, which is connected to the clocked energy source, in an advantageous manner this yields a simple possibility of detecting the signal state.
[0012] If, in an advantageous manner, a storage means having at least one storage cell is connected to the threshold circuit element, the signal state may be preserved, and thereby made better able to be processed and compared. In particular, if the storage means is designed as a shift register and the storage cell content is shifted further at the pulse of the clocked energy source, complex selection methods and comparison methods are possible which then, in conclusion, result in the emission of a start signal as a wake-up signal to the microcontroller.
[0013] This comparison possibility comes about in an advantageous manner in that a further storage means, likewise in particular designed as a register, especially as a shift register, contains a certain storage content, particularly in the form of a bit pattern, and by the comparison of the bit patterns a start signal is triggered. For this, in an advantageous manner, a simple evaluation means in the form of a simple logic may be used, this evaluation means being connected to the at least one storage means and emitting the start signal to the controller.
[0014] In this context, it is advantageously also conceivable that, when two storage means are used for the comparison, in an active phase of the controller, one storage means is filled by the controller with specifiable content, so that the controller itself is able to specify the start criteria.
[0015] In another specific embodiment, the clocked energy source is preferably designed so that it may be adjusted, so that the energy signal emitted in clock time is able to be changed in its level. The use of such clocked energy signals that have their level changed then makes possible in an advantageous way the yield of additional data which may be used, for example, for diagnostic purposes.
[0016] The level of the energy signal is advantageously executed by a control means, in particular a state machine, whereby a specifiable change in the energy signal may be implemented.
[0017] Instead of, or additionally to the use an energy signal variable in its level, a reference means may advantageously be provided, by which the threshold value of the threshold circuit element is able to be changed.
[0018] Further advantages and advantageous refinements result from the specification and the claims.
[0019] The present invention is explained in greater detail with reference to the exemplary embodiments shown in the drawings.
[0020] For that purpose,
[0021]FIG. 1 shows a wake-up circuit, according to the present invention, in connection with possibilities of generating input signals as well as connection to the controller.
[0022]FIG. 2 shows the signal pattern for a simply timed signal energy source.
[0023] In an additional specific embodiment,
[0024]FIG. 3 shows a circuit according to the present invention, having signal connections and the option of changing the level of the energy signal.
[0025]FIG. 4 shows the signal pattern in response to variations of the level of the energy signal.
[0026] In an additional specific embodiment,
[0027]FIG. 5 shows a circuit according to the present invention, having reference means for varying the comparison threshold.
[0028]FIG. 6 shows the signal pattern in response to variations of the comparison threshold.
[0029] For reasons of clarity, various options of the present invention are appropriately shown by different figures. However, according to the present invention it is possible to combine the different figures or the options shown in them with one another, as a matter of choice, so as, in turn, to obtain another subject matter according to the present invention.
[0030]FIG. 1 shows a circuit 100 according to the present invention, having a controllable energy source, in particular a current source, as well as a timing pulse means 103 combined in a clocked energy source 101. The energy source may be a voltage source, a charge source, a current source, etc.
[0031] For reasons of clarity, we speak of a current source as the preferred design case.
[0032] Clocked current source 101 is connected to a threshold value circuit element, especially a comparator 104, at whose second input there is a reference threshold Ur. Threshold value circuit element 104, on its part, is connected to a storage means 105, in particular a register, for instance a shift register, whose individual cells are denoted by Z. This storage means 105, in turn, has a connection to an evaluation means 106, in particular a simple comparison logic.
[0033] Further storage means are shown as 107, especially registers 108 and 109, which, on the one hand, may be accommodated within evaluation means 106, or outside of it, but within circuit 100. A start signal or wake-up signal is transmitted to the microcontroller or controller 110 via connection 112. In this context, the wake-up signal may also first operate a circuit element, not explicitly shown here, and by which the energy supply of controller 110 is made available. The circuit element in this case may be positioned externally or internally to controller 110, or may be a part of 100.
[0034] Optionally, controller 110 may be connected via connection 111, unidirectionally or bidirectionally to optional registers 108 and 109, for instance by a serial interface, such as an SPI.
[0035] At input terminal 119 of circuit 100 a switch 115 is connected, which is connected via a load 120, particularly a resistor, to a voltage Ub, which particularly corresponds to the battery voltage in the vehicle. Circuit 100 itself is also supplied with energy using a supply voltage Uv, Uv being able to correspond to battery voltage Ub, to be formed from it, or to correspond to its own energy supply.
[0036] Additional energy supplies, such as of controller 110 and corresponding ground connections have been omitted, since these are known and are not essential.
[0037] A dashed line shows a resistor at switch 115, which represents parasitic resistances of switch 115, and which is created, for example, by manufacturing inaccuracies, material properties or aging and/or wear of the switch.
[0038] An optional circuit is shown by 116, which also performs a signal generation to terminal 119, in which a controllable energy source, especially a controllable current source 118 is controlled by an analog circuit 117. This circuit may be present instead of, or in addition to switch 115.
[0039] The functional procedure will now be further explained in the light of FIG. 2. It is true, in general, that comments on the individual and also subsequent specific embodiments are not limited to these, but, as a rule, are valid for all specific embodiments, taking into consideration that the options or the features of the individual specific embodiments may be combined arbitrarily to form new specific embodiments.
[0040] Current source 102 is clocked by clock pulse generator 103. In the voltage-time diagram U(t) of FIG. 2, Ub illustrates the battery voltage and Ur the threshold value, or rather, here, the reference voltage. When switch 115 is closed, voltage Ub is present at input 119. At point in time t1, a pulse I of width t1 to t2 is triggered by clock pulse generator 103. Thus, when the switch is closed, almost the entire voltage Ub is present at the comparator input, that is, driven only to a slight extent by current source 102. A voltage level U1 comes about, which differs from Ub by the voltage drop at load 120 as well as at the internal resistance of current source 102 and parasitic resistor 114. At an appropriately dimensioned (setting value) of current source 102, the voltage drop is at level U1, that is, only slightly below supply voltage Ub.
[0041] Since level U1 lies above reference threshold Ur, the comparator, i.e. the threshold value circuit element 104 does not switch, and into the cell of register 105 a 0 is written. At point t3, clocked current source 101 again emits a pulse I with switch 115 closed, whereby here too a 0 is written into the register. Expediently for this, the register has applied to it the same clock pulse of clock pulse generator 103 as clocked energy source 101, whereby the results of the threshold value comparison are written into the cells of the register one after another.
[0042] In the simplest case, only one register cell is present for this. But an arbitrary number of register cells may be used, depending on the complexity of the specific embodiment. Consequently, the clock pulse in this specific embodiment from t1 to t3 has a on/off ratio of 1 to 5 with reference to pulse ranges t1 to t2, which corresponds to I. At time t4 switch 115 is opened, whereby, when a pulse I is emitted, a level U2 sets in here from t4 to t5 at the input to the comparator, from the clocked current source. This level then comes about again at t6, where again a pulse I is emitted from the clocked current source, using the on/off ratio of 1 to 5, given here.
[0043] Using this procedure, since the object to be measured only has relatively low current values applied to it, an additional switch 113 is provided. This may be operated in phases in which the no-signal current requirement is estimated to be noncritical, so that possibly required switch contact currents may be set.
[0044] It already becomes clear from this example that, for instance, at an emission of 50 μA of pulse I at t4, this effectively yields a no-signal current consumption of at most 10 μA over clock pulse t4 to t6, for example at a clock ratio of 1 to 5. This is clearly lower than the high current consumption by controller 110, so that, on the one hand, several controllers may be used simultaneously with the aid of the wake-up circuit, and on the other hand, real-time scanning clock pulses of the input signals, here of switch 115, may be carried out.
[0045] For example, controller 110 may make inputs for registers 108 and 109 via connecting line 111, based on which logic 106 may then compare whether the scanning pattern in register 105, which is formed according to the respective pulses, agrees with the ones required in 108 and/or 109 for the purpose of generating a start signal via line 112. Likewise, for reasons of security, in logic 106 one may carry out any exclusionary method, e.g. two of three, six of eight, five of ten, etc., with regard to the register cells.
[0046] Besides the use of switch positions, naturally other signals may also be used for comparison or scanned, for instance, analog signals of an analog circuit 117, the analog circuit driving a controllable current source 118, and the current signals then being able to be compared.
[0047]FIG. 3 shows a further exemplary embodiment, similar elements not being described again.
[0048] In this context, circuit 200 additionally includes a selecting element 203 by which various connections 119 a to 119 d may one after another be scanned and have the current pulse of the clocked current source applied to them. Thereby several input signals of several switches 115 a to 115 d and appertaining resistors 120 a to 120 d may be tested.
[0049]FIG. 3 also includes a control means 202, such as a state machine, by which a change in the pulse level of the emitted current pulses is possible. This is then explained in more detail in FIG. 4. Thus, for example, at point in time t7 a first pulse, again of width I is emitted by the current source from t7 to t8.
[0050] Here, for example, an on/off ratio of 1 to 3 is selected, so that, therefore, every three scanning steps a new pulse I is emitted. Thus, when switch 115 a is closed, for example, three times in a row, at points t7, t9 and t10 a pulse I is emitted by the current source. This pulse of width I is now varied in its level. This occurs by control means 202, particularly a state machine. This yields different voltage levels U3, U4 and U5, which in this case all lie above reference Ur. Thereby, in the register, in the first three cells, in each case 0, i.e. 0 0 0 is written in. As the procedure continues, with switch 115 a open, at points t11, t12, and t13 a pulse I of variable level is repeatedly emitted, whereupon voltage levels U7, U8 and U9 set in. In this case, all three voltage levels lie below the threshold voltage, as a result of which 1 1 1 is written into the registers. In the case of an additional switch, such as 115 b in the open position, voltage levels U6, U7 and U8 set in, for example, when three pulses are emitted at t14, t15 and t16.
[0051] For reasons of clarity, in this case, the same voltage level is selected for switch 115 a and switch 115 b for the pulses at t15 and t11, as well as at t12 and t16. But as a rule, they may be and will be different.
[0052] In any case, what is shown with 115 b open is that voltage level U6 lies above reference voltage Ur. Consequently, for example, for switch 115 b open, on the one hand, for security reasons a two of three evaluation may be reached by the logic, meaning that a start signal is emitted when two pulses yield voltage levels below the reference voltage, or, on the other hand, at known current values, conclusions may be reached on the wear of a switch over time, and here, above all, the parasitic resistances should be addressed. It should be emphasized once more at this point that a start signal is only emitted when a signal change (e.g. open/closed) that was established before has occurred.
[0053] Now, in FIG. 4 it may be seen that, on the one hand, because of the different pulse levels, the impedance of each respective switch or its resistance is able to be determined, because it is able to be detected at which current the exceeding of the threshold voltage exists, shown by a bit pattern in the register, and on the other hand, conditions of wear of the switches may be detected via a fingerprint of a switch which was created before. It means that the switch may be tested in succession beforehand using certain predefined currents, whereby a bit sequence comes about in the register. If the switch now undergoes wear, its resistance changes because of the parasitic effects, and the difference in the bit pattern of the register, in response to a comparison, for example, with the optionally shown additional registers in 107, that is 108 or 109, gives information concerning aging and wear, and may consequently be used for diagnosis purposes.
[0054] That is, the circuit corresponds to a wake-up circuit having a current source that may be set and clocked, which is connected to a threshold value evaluation, individual comparison results being registered. By variations of the current value and/or the switching thresholds, as is further shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, in addition to the switching states open/closed, the electrical properties, specifically, for instance, the fingerprint of the switch, may also be determined and elucidated. And all this is done at a very low no-signal current consumption.
[0055] An additional specific embodiment in FIG. 5 shows a circuit 500, which besides the already mentioned elements also has a voltage divider having an adjustable resistance 502, as well as an additional reference setting means, such as an adjustable voltage source 501. In this case, for example, Ub is selected as supply voltage for circuit 500 via line 503, which, as has been mentioned, may correspond to the aforementioned supply voltage Uv, or may differ from it, as was mentioned in the previous examples.
[0056] The effect of this circuit will now be explained in FIG. 6 in more detail. By using reference means 501 or 502, the reference thresholds, which were previously fixed at Ur, may now be varied.
[0057] With that, as shown by reference thresholds Ur1 and Ur2, a comparable evaluation may be achieved, as is possible by varying the currents or the pulse level.
[0058] That means here too, that an open switch 115 may be tested by varying the reference from Ur to Ur1 or Ur2, to see whether level U2 lies above or below, as a function of the pulse current. By forming such a corridor from reference thresholds, the same diagnostic properties may then be achieved as by the variation of the currents. Thus, for example, at point Tv and switch 115 open, one may draw a conclusion as to its wear at a voltage level U3, or the resistance value or the impedance of another switch may be tested by changing the threshold.
[0059] That means, that in all these exemplary embodiments, by using the clocked energy source, a lower rest energy value consumption may be achieved, and controller 110 may be switched off. Thus the supplier of a signal that is to be monitored, such as a switch, is supplied with current in pulse fashion from an energy source shown, particularly a current source. In this context, the clock pulse generator determines the time pattern as well as the taking-over of each measuring result into register 105 of the actual values. Logic block 106 makes the decision on emitting a start signal, that is, a wake-up signal to the controller, and it does it in the light of, for example, the overall result in the register cells, such as 0100111, as well as the status bit of this energy source that is present, thus, for example, in the case of the switch, whether open or closed.
[0060] This result in actual value register 105 may be compared, for this purpose, to setpoint values, that may be input from the controller, in setpoint value registers, these setpoint value registers being able to be made available also from the outside, such as via the CAN controller and also using an SPI or a similar interface.
[0061] In this context, the current values and/or switching thresholds may be set in individual fashion�globally or individually for each switch or individually for each signal supplier.

DEFINITION of 'Open Interest'
1. The total number of options and/or futures contracts that are not closed or delivered on a particular day.
2. The number of buy market orders before the stock market opens.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Open Interest'
1. A common misconception is that open interest is the same thing as volume of options and futures trades. This is not correct, as demonstrated in the following example:
-On January 1, A buys an option, which leaves an open interest and also creates trading volume of 1.
-On January 2, C and D create trading volume of 5 and there are also five more options left open.
-On January 3, A takes an offsetting position, open interest is reduced by 1 and trading volume is 1.
-On January 4, E simply replaces C and open interest does not change, trading volume increases by 5.

"Amazing and Riveting... but I wanted more!"
I knew Ben Franklin was impressive and famous and that he did a lot of things, but I had NO idea how many. His personal philosophy as well as his place in history are told in his own words. He helped found the US Postal service, created hospitals, banks, libraries, and helped establish many of the conventions that we enjoy and take for granted now. He had such tremendous powers of persuasion that just studying him to see how he did that is worthwhile. Almost all his learning was self-taught. You really get a feeling for his personal style and flair as well as the personal convictions that made him the man he was. My only regret is that he didn't write more and say more about his place in the founding of our great nation or more about his scientific discoveries. I think he just got too busy being a part of history. You won't want to stop here. I thoroughly recommend the audible book Ben Franklin: Inventing America to get the rest of the things Ben, himself, left out. If you don't read this one though, you will never really understand his inner workings and how he did what he did. I highly recommend this book.

Cardiff City veteran Craig Bellamy is critical of Wales capping 16 year-old Liverpool winger Harry Wilson.
Manager Chris Coleman confirmed that Wales had been made aware that Wilson, who was born in Wrexham, could have qualified for Roy Hodgson's team via his grandmother, who was born in Chester.
"I'm not sure about it," the 34-year-old, who is the third most highly capped player in his country's history, said. "I really don't know.
"I think Harry's a talent. I think he's going to do well in the years to come. But I'd like to see him do well first (before being capped).
"I don't mean that in a bad way, but 16 years old is young, it's really young.
"He can't play for anyone else now but is that really the most important thing? I've known him for some time and I've seen his progress. He's great.
"I've taken an interest in it because he's the same age as my boy. So it's one of those. I'd like to see the lad given a chance.
"I'm just not sure about it at the age of 16. There's plenty more time to address the situation."

This lecture derives from research undertaken for Jared Goss's latest book, French Art Deco (Yale University Press, Oct. 2014), which examines about 100 pieces from The Metropolitan Museum of Art's modern design collection. The talk will focus on some of the most colorful figures from the roster of international clients who commissioned high-style French Art Deco interiors during the 1910s, '20s, and '30s, including silent movie stars, stage actresses, fashion designers, industrialists, explorers, courtesans, and even royalty.
Jared Goss is an independent art historian. Formerly an associate curator in the Department of Modern and Contemporary Art at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, during his 20-year career there he specialized in post-1900 design and architecture, helping organize exhibitions including Charles Rennie Mackintosh (1996), Cartier: 1900-1939 (1997), and American Modern, 1925-1940: Design for a New Age (2000). His 2009 exhibition, Masterpieces of French Art Deco, which drew over 600,000 visitors, serves as the basis for the book.
There will be a reception and book signing for French Art Decoimmediately following the lecture.

Krista Ninivaggi, named Contract Magazine's 2014 "Designer of the Year" and a "Young Gun" by Curbed.com, has worked at three influential firms in the first 12 years of her career: The Rockwell Group, AvroKo, and SHoP Architects, where she was the first director of the Interior Design Group. Each experience has profoundly influenced her opinions and methodologies of design. In this lecture, Ninivaggi will distill the lessons learned at each firm and how these created a road map in the founding of her own practice and newest venture, K & Co.
Barry Bergdoll is Meyer Schapiro professor of art history at Columbia University. He was from 2007 to 2013 the Philip Johnson chief curator of architecture and design at the Museum of Modern Art, where he continues to serve as a curator of architecture. This lecture will examine the historical evolution of the modern practice of displaying architecture out of its original setting to create public debate and then look at some of the experiments Bergdoll undertook during his seven year tenure at MoMA, from projects on architecture and climate change to others on new models of providing housing in changing urban and financial landscapes.
There will be a reception immediately following the lecture.

The Building symposium
Saturday 15 November, 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM
Columbia Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation, Wood Auditorium
Ever since the theoretical turn of the 1960s, right through to the present, the status of the architectural object in the sphere of history, theory and criticism keeps taking on more and more forms. Whether as the reification of power structures, as a facilitator of participatory processes, as the locus of phenomenological content, as the hypostatization of terms pertaining to other systems of thought, as a vehicle to reflect upon unmediated practices, as a catalyst to investigate the psychology of perception, as amenable to mirror processes in the natural world—its increasing epistemological diversification is an index for the growing sophistication of our field. Within this tendency, however, the object emerges more often as a medium through which to tap into another domain—if not as altogether absent—than it does as the ultimate realm of research in its own right.
This event suggests that discussions taking the object as their primary concern can today extend the bounds of possibility for the production of discursive knowledge in a substantial fashion. In order to do so, it invokes the architectural object par excellence—the building. A number of historians, theorists, architects and PhD candidates, from both Europe and the US, have been asked to choose a building, built or designed within the last 25 years, which they can show embodies a historically substantial contribution in terms of a particular design aspect or a concept relevant to the reading of buildings in general. In addition, they have been invited to speculate on the possibility for such a design technique or concept to become the seed of a metadisciplinary theoretical framework. The first installment of this event took place at the Architectural Association on June 2, 2014.

This event is made possible through support from the Columbia Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation.
While giants in the field of American architecture have left their important works across the breadth of America, little attention has been paid to where and how these architects have been laid to rest. In this quest, previously unknown and important information has been uncovered on over 200 of the country's greatest architects. Henry Kuehn will share insights on this topic and sign copies of his new book, Their Final Place, A Guide to the Graves of Notable American Architects.
TIME: 12:15 - 1pm COST: FREE LOCATION: Lecture Hall, 224 S. Michigan Ave. AIA CES: 1
Join us for an exclusive tour of the brand new Northeastern Illinois University (NEIU) El Centro urban campus with architect Juan Moreno of JGMA. Since opening its doors in September 2014, this striking building near the Kennedy Expressway and Belmont blue line station has offered convenience to commuter students and a heightened visibility for the University, in addition to providing an anchor for outreach to the Latino community in Chicago and neighbors in Avondale.
Moreno will speak to the group about designing this new anchor for NEIU, then small group tours led by members of the JGMA design team and NEIU student and faculty members will guide you through the classrooms, computer labs, a multi-media resource center, conference rooms, community and study rooms, and double-height reception lobby.
Moreno will present his talk in Spanish at 6:00pm then in English at 6:30pm. Please reserve your ticket based on language preference.
TIME: 6pm-8pm COST: $15/$10 Members LOCATION: El Centro, 3390 N. Avondale Avenue AIA CES: 1
180 million years ago, Australia was once enmeshed as part of the Gondwanaland supercontinent, which included Africa, South America, and Antarctica. Early antiquarian maps drawn by maritime explorers envisioned the earth as a flat, infinite surface that unfurled seamlessly into interconnected continents and oceans. A Genovese chart named after Christopher Columbus depicted the Mediterranean region including Portuguese discoveries encased into a perfect circle (1488). The Earth as an object ofstudy has long symbolized both physical ground and more fluid cosmological conceptions of the world across cultures.
Beyond methods of cartographic writing, the earth summons intellectual forays into topographic descriptions, natural landscapes, and scientific theories. In observing the geological state of the Earth, Charles Lyell's uniformitarianism, which used the Great Flood as the basis of catastrophic development, signaled an important precursor to Charles Darwin's theory of evolution. In this sense, slow-acting processes such as erosion and sediment deposition, have been proposed agents of geological change. Even John Ruskin and Viollet le Duc delineated the physical outlines of mountain ranges such as the Alps as perceptible signs of the forces underlying nature. Later twentieth-century writers such as John McPhee in Annals of the Former World mapped the American landscape through his road journeys across the country in the company of famed geologists. More recently, architectural history and theory as well as other humanities fields have explored geology, ecology, and landscape studies in diverse forms – one such notable trend is "landform building" where buildings have begun to emulate natural formations. Moving away from a human-centred world, approaches to deep history (Andrew Shyrock and Daniel Smail) and big history (David Christian and Cynthia Stokes Brown) evoke the immense scale of the past by beginning with the birth of the universe. Continental drift and plate tectonics not only begin to re-position human beings against the age of the earth butalso summon global theories as attempts to explain the presence of mountains, valleys, volcanoes, and earthquakes.
Architectural Theory Review special issue 20.1 will address a wide spectrum of historical and contemporary topics dealing with the earth and its attendant representations throughout time. How have humanities fields in architecture, art history, history, and literature redefined the earth as point of polemics in light of cultural, scientific, political and social revolutions? We invite submissions that examine the earth, including but not limited to the following themes: cartography; architectural design in relation to volatiledisasters; energy and matter; geological thought in architecture; interior and external environments; mining and industry; natural history; scales of history in relation to the anthropocene era such as deep time; underground spaces.
The deadline for completed manuscripts is 31 December 2014. Please send all enquiries to editor Jennifer Ferng at email@example.com.
The conference features 45 continuing education programs and tours offering multi-discipline perspectives on projects, processes, technologies and important issues facing the design and building industries.
In conjunction with the 2013 Landslide® the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust in partnership with the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy will host the Landscape Architecture Legacy of Dan Kiley, a traveling photographic exhibition celebrating the life and career of Dan Kiley, one of the most important and influential Modernist landscape architects of the 20th century. The exhibition features 45 vibrant photographs documenting the current state of some of Kiley's most significant designs.
Generous support has been provided by Presenting Sponsors, The Davey Tree Expert Company and Victor Stanley, Inc., with additional support from the American Society of Landscape Architects, Landscape Architecture magazine and the Hubbard Educational Foundation.

This What's Out There Weekend focuses on the built legacy of Los Angeles-based landscape architect Ralph Cornell, who studied at Pomona College and Harvard University, and opened one of the city's first landscape architecture practices in 1919. Considered by some "the Olmsted of Los Angeles," Cornell is known for his design restraint and thoughtful use of indigenous plantings. His work can be seen throughout Southern California, including Beverly Gardens Park, the UCLA campus, Hillside Memorial Park, downtown LA's Civic Center, and the restoration of the historic grounds at the National Historic Landmark-designated Rancho Los Cerritos. This What's Out There Weekend features free, expert-led tours of more than a dozen significant Cornell-designed landscapes in greater Los Angeles. Read more about Cornell and his legacy.
Please join us for the launch event on Friday evening.
The Weekend kicks off with an event co-sponsored by California Garden and Landscape History Society and UCLA Library Special Collections including a lecture by Brian Tichenor, professor at USC's School of Architecture, and the opening of an exhibit in the UCLA Charles E. Young Research Library, "Ralph D. Cornell: Dean of Southern California Landscape Architecture." This retrospective of Cornell's life and career, on view November 7 through December 23, 2014, features a diverse array of drawings, renderings, photographs, and artifacts, many of which have never been publicly displayed. Steven Keylon, Curator, with Kelly Comras. Curatorial assistance from Sam Watters and Genie Guerard. Installation by Octavio Olvera.
The What's Out There Weekend program dovetails with the Web-based What's Out There, the nation's most comprehensive searchable database of historic designed landscapes. The database currently features more than 1,700 sites, 10,000 images and 900 designer profiles. And, What's Out There is optimized for iPhones and similar handheld devices, and includes What's Nearby - a GPS-enabled function that locates all landscapes in the database within a 25-mile radius of any given location.
REVEAL ( Reconstruction and Exploratory Visualization: Engineering meets ArchaeoLogy)
REVEAL is a free and open-source software toolkit for fieldwork recording, documentation, and automated 3D model generation.
There are many computer-based data collection systems for architectural history and archaeology; many databases, many digital archives, and many digital publications for the disciplines. REVEAL is special, because it's a single piece of software that coordinates all data types (e.g., plans, photos, 3D models, tabular information) with semi-automated tools to ease the process of documenting sites, trenches and objects, of recording architectural research documentation and excavation progress, of researching and analyzing the collected evidence, and even of automatically creating 3D models and virtual worlds. Search and retrieval, visualization, and thus testing hypotheses against the excavated material, happen in real time, as the excavation proceeds. That's an important advance.
Since the past happened in 3D, in color, and as a continuous set of actions, that's the way it should be studied and understood. What's needed for fieldwork is a single complete package that keeps things digital from acquisition to publication, integrates all datatypes together, can be used at different types of sites with minimal modification, and places interactive 3D contexts at the heart of the matter. That is what REVEAL does.
REVEAL is already being used at dozens of sites around the world.
Remember, it's free and open-source !
REVEAL has just been updated and improved (see version 188.8.131.52)--your tool of choice for recording archaeological excavations, is now ready for downloading. The current release updates REVEAL to work with the latest version of WAMP (2.5), fixes some bugs, and adds a feature for uploading a 3D model with its texture files so they stay together and display correctly in the REVEAL Analyzer module.
We want to hear from you. Please tell us if you are using REVEAL, or are thinking about using REVEAL, or have comments and suggested upgrades that would help us improve it for everyone's fieldwork.
Contact VIZIN at email@example.com !!

REVEAL has been co-developed by the Institute for the Visualization of History, Brown University's Division of Engineering, Laboratory for Man/Machine Systems, and the University of North Carolina's Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. REVEAL is a unique, exciting, and continually expanding resource for archaeologists, architectural historians, and others working in related heritage fields. REVEAL was created with funding from National Science Foundation Grant No.0808718, Promoting Paradigm Shifts in Archaeology.
New Features Coming to REVEAL
Sherd Reassembly Package
Overview: The Sherd Reassembly Package is a computer-based system for automatically reassembling an unorganized group of thin-wall sherds into a digital simulation of the vessel that broke into the collected sherds. The assumption is that the original vessel(s) was axially symmetric, i.e., made on a wheel. The original sherd grouping may contain only a subset of the fragments belonging to an original vessel, and the grouping may contain sherds from more than one vessel.
The Process: The input data supplied to the system consists of a 3D dense-data scan of each sherd, where the scan covers the outer surface and break surface. The input data may also be a meshed set of 3D points. The package can work with the commonly used file formats for these data sets. The REVEAL software kit's photomodeling feature can provide such data.
For each scanned or modeled sherd, the package then automatically extracts the points on the outer surface of the sherd and the break-curve for the sherd (the curve on the outer surface along which the sherd broke from its neighbors). The method first processes the scanned sherds having significant surface curvature and distinctive surface shape. It measures an axis and a profile curve for each such sherd, and does a preliminary reassembly of these sherds based on aligning their axes and then fitting together their profile curves. The process then completes these reassembled configurations based on how well the sherds' break-curves fit together. The system then tries to add to the achieved configurations those sherds that do not have significant outer surface curvature. This addition is based on how well the break-curves of the additional sherds fit the break-curves of the sherds in the reassembled configurations.
There may be sets of sherds which are all roughly flat, that is, have no usable outer-surface curvature. For these sets, the system tries to reassemble configurations based only on how the sherd boundary curves fit together.
The Results: The package may not be able to fit all appropriate sherds together because of (a) a lack of distinctive 3D outer surface shape, (b) a lack of sufficient sherd neighbors, or (c) because of gaps (due to chipping or erosion) in appropriate pairs of break-curves. Nevertheless, the process can reconstruct complete vessels or significant portions of vessels. The output is a 3D model of a vessel or portions of a vessel, that can be viewed interactively from arbitrary directions to see how the individual sherds fit together. Our reassembly system involves 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional puzzle-solving systems that include algorithms uniquely developed for the REVEAL platform.
Semi-Automated Architectural Model Generator
Overview: The Semi-Automated Architectural Model Generator module facilitates visualization and exploration of buildings and related archaeological site data by providing tools to automatically generate 3D models of architecture that survives only partially. The package uses a shape program to describe the organization of the architectural elements and shape generator software to run specialized programs to generate the resulting 3D models.
The Process: Users specify shapes that describe how major elements of the structure are organized. The package processes the user-specified attributes of the shapes and generates the 3D model of the architecture. New and different models can be generated by modifying the shape program, thus allowing users to efficiently explore alternative completions of architectural features that may be missing or unexcavated.
Thus, the package is a procedural model building. Buildings are built from basic solids that stem from cylinders, spheres, cones, rectangular solids, and ramps/tetrahedrons. These base geometries can be altered by using boolean operators to make more sophisticated geometry (such as Gothic arches or vaults). Each of the controlling shape parameters are controlled via external "attribute" files, which in turn control generation of aspects like texture, size, and position.
Attributes of the Output 3D Models:
* The resulting 3D models are constructed hierarchically and include labels that can endow the model with a sequence of semantically-meaningful sub-structures, e.g., entrance structure -> gateway -> portcullis -> ashlar blocks.
* Feature attributes can be queried and extracted from the hierarchy, e.g., "give me all ashlar blocks that are part of the entrance structure or gateway."
* Field data and 3D models of the excavated architectural remains can be visualized together with automatically generated 3D architecture models.
Potential Applications:
* Quickly creating digitally reconstructed complete 3D visualizations of fragmentary architectural structures.
* Results from queries on the geometry can be used to answer holistic questions; e.g., "if the wall of the gateway is 10m high, then how much volume in wall debris should exist and what proportion of that debris should be made of ashlar?"
* Reconstructions can provide visualizations of potential completions of damaged and/or partially excavated structures which in turn may influence future excavation strategies.
The Association of Architecture School Librarians is seeking proposals for its Lightning Round session to be held during its annual conference in Toronto, March 17-19, 2015.
Lightning Rounds have become a popular feature of our annual conference. A typical lightning round presentation lasts no more than 6 minutes. If a PowerPoint presentation accompanies the talk, presenters are limited to the use of 12 slides.
Featured topics tend to reflect innovative, "local" solutions to current work-related challenges of common interest to our members. The Conference Planning Committee would like Lightening Round presentations to align with the theme of the ACSA conference: The Expanding Periphery and the Migrating Center. For instance:
· What is still core to library operations in terms of serving a profession with a migrating center? How has maintaining and developing the core helped the library to remain relevant? Please elaborate.
· What new services and/or collections have enabled you to attract and maintain your existing audience?
· What services and/or collections have you "appropriated "from other fields? For instance, materials collections have long been important to interior design. The librarian working in the actual studio might parallel the work of the medical profession in its clinical approach. What else has been "migrated" or is possible to appropriate and use in a new way to benefit the architecture library? What issues have or are arising as a result this migrating center? What gaps are you seeing in services and/or collections?
· How are you collaborating in new ways with other librarians at your institution?
· How do you define the new terrain in terms of the library? Has the perception of the library changed ? How is the library more or less relevant than it was?
· How has the globalization of architecture impacted the library in terms of the nature and scope of resources as well as the depth of information needed about other parts of the world?
· How has the composition of the "new" student body and the internationalism of the recruitment of students and faculty impacted resources? What language considerations have changed? Are the resources needed different- e.g. information about the climate of arid regions? Do the "new" international students and faculty require different levels of instruction and/or exposure to " western" library resources? Are you able to leverage this in terms of funding?
· Propose your topic that ties in with the overall conference theme.
Submit your Lightning Round proposal via this online form. Proposal descriptions should not exceed 400-words.
The deadline for submission is: November, 14, 2014.
Building on the core concepts of this year's ACSA theme, The Expanding Periphery and the Migrating Center, the Conference Planning Committee has been working hard to develop a suite of programs, tours, talks, and social events designed to address AASL members' interests.
In addition to hearing from local experts about the architecture of Toronto, attendees will have the opportunity to—during Lightning Rounds—share ideas with their colleagues about potential solutions to common concerns pertaining to contemporary architecture librarianship and we will experiment with a new type of unconference session entitled Venture and Vexation. Stay tuned for announcements about additional conference programming that is currently under development.
Please plan to join us at the Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel, March 17 – 19, 2015.
We are planning to activate our conference website in November, complete with registration information.
The beloved decorating tradition is back—and more festive than ever—with the addition this year of the traditional Chinese interior set to ring in the Chinese New Year! Plus, a new long-term loan, a miniature replica of a Pullman Observation Car that was exhibited at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, is unveiled for the first time.
Several other rooms once again get their seasonal trimmings. Among the most elaborate is the English Drawing Room of the Victorian Period, the only room with a Christmas tree. Now a ubiquitous feature of the season, the Christmas tree ortannenbaum, was only brought to England from Germany in 1840 with the marriage of Prince Albert to Queen Victoria. The Thorne Room tree and accoutrements are based on a famous engraving of the royal couple and their children surrounding a trimmed and toy-bedecked tree, an image that would forever popularize this holiday fixture. Other ornamented rooms include:
