Why is a U.S. solar technology firm manufacturing in China instead of the U.S.? Chuck Provini faces this question not just from the market, but also from the U.S. government.

This case allows students to understand some of the core drivers behind joint ventures in China, and at a time when foreign firms might instead opt to become a wholly-owned foreign enterprise.

Comments about quiksilver Makaha Ss Rashguard:
Great fitting, loose-fit rashguard. I've collected a few Quiksilver rashguards over the years and they've all been quality products.
I especially like the back and front printing of this rashguard.
One thing to note is this shirt is slightly thinner than the Waterman Collection rashguards though both are 6.3oz shirts. Not necessarily a bad thing since thinner = more comfortable in the hot sun.

Show synopsis This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1920 Excerpt: ...The Reverend Roger was Alfred Petherton's brother and a master at one of our most glorious public schools. Marjorie hardly agreed with her father in thinking that his presence would add anything to the "festiveness" of the party. It was a pity he should be coming at this particular moment. However, we all have our little cross to bear. Mr. Petherton was feeling playful. "We must bring down," he said, "the choicest Falernian, bottled when Gladstone was consul, for the occasion. We must prepare wreaths and unguents and hire a flute player and a couple of dancing girls..." He spent the rest of the meal in quoting Horace, Catullus, the Greek Anthology, Petronius, and Sidonius Apollinarius. Marjorie's knowledge of the dead languages was decidedly limited. Her thoughts were elsewhere, and it was only dimly and as it were through a mist that she heard her father murmuring--whether merely to himself or with the hope of eliciting an answer from somebody, she hardly knew--" Let me see: how does that epigram go?--that one about the different kinds of fish and the garlands of roses, by Meleager, or is it Poseidippus?..." II GUY and Jacobsen were walking in the Dutch garden, an incongruous couple. On Guy military servitude had left no outwardly visible mark; out of uniform, he still looked like a tall, untidy undergraduate; he stooped and drooped as much as ever; his hair was still bushy and, to judge by the dim expression of his face, he had not yet learnt to think imperially. His khaki always looked like a disguise, like the most absurd fancy dress. Jacobsen trotted beside him, short, fattish, very sleek, and correct. They talked in a desultory way about things indifferent. Guy, anxious for a little intellectual exercise after s...

Growing Your Gratitude
Each year at this time, thankfulness becomes a buzzword. It tends to go hand-in-hand with the foundational message of the holidays, which is to acknowledge all the good of your life. But there are times, people and situations we each face where there isn't a thing in the world to be thankful for. Maybe you're reminding an employee yet again to come to work on time, or your annoying neighbor has his music blaring. Perhaps someone refuses to participate in … Continue reading
Do Your Feedback Gathering Methods Measure Up?

Feedback gathering, in all its forms, is the first step in gauging the success of your programs straight from those people who have invested the most. While you may revisit feedback forms for content every few years, do you grant the same scrutiny to your methods? That is, are your methods the most effective for the type of feedback … Continue reading

Bullying Redux
Bullying receives a lot of press, especially schools adopt anti-bullying programs and states pass anti-bullying laws. Witnessing school shootings that were, in part, retaliation for relentless bullying may have increased our empathy toward both bullies and their targets, as well as our motivation to change. But tragic events, additions to curricula, and press coverage have all made it seem as if bullying is new. It might surprise you to learn that camping professionals have been taking a systematic, proactive role … Continue reading
Frozen Memories
Installing a seasonal rink is easy, affordable and conducive to great times. JIM STOLLER, president of NiceRink, wants you to close your eyes and imagine yourself on a winter night, stepping into your backyard, walking down a walkway, past a lighted-up fire pit, down to the foot of a frozen pond that you made all on your own. It's the imagery authors dream of writing and the "frozen memories" Stoller said his company not only makes, but prides itself on. … Continue reading

How Do We Treat Each Other?
This was the question the leadership director at one of North America's oldest overnight camps asked the staff one evening. It seemed to be an inane question, given the label of "brotherhood" that the staff had given itself for decades. But the silence in the room suggested legitimate soul-searching had begun. The leadership director, Tom Giggi, was also silent, prompting even more serious reflection. (One of Tom's strengths is asking good questions; another is his ability to wait for thoughtful … Continue reading

Canon PowerShot A460 compact camera
I bought one of these a couple of months ago, and I'm very happy with it. There are tons more features not mentioned in this review. My favorite is using the Macro & 'super' macro settings for super close-up photos. (Maybe I'll upload some pics tonight to post as examples)
The ability to turn most (if not all) of the cameras settings to 'manual' gives you ALOT of control, and lets you take some really cool shots.
I totally recommend this camera to anyone looking to buy one.

social networking
Social networking is the anti-social shut ins way of try convincing the

I have a formula that can be used to come identify a persons level of
douchebaggery. (or douchous baggamus in Latin)
· number of facebook friends you have that you've actually met in person at least once
divided by:
· number of facebook friends you have in total
To maintain a non-douchebag status, one must never let this number drop below 1.00 The only two ways to achieve this are;
1) you aren't a facebook user at all. This is the only guaranteed way to
avoid douchebaggifcation. (I fall into this category.)
2) you've met/know every single person in your list at least once.
Like shakespeare said;
To facebook is to douche.
Anyone who posts an angry response this must either be a be facebooker
themselves, or at the very least a douchebag sympathizer.

15 years ago: the first mass-produced GSM phone
my first phone
I can't remember the model number, but it was sometime in the late 90's too.
It was a grey Nokia, built like a tank. It was big, ugly and clumsy, and I loved it! It was bullet-proof. It survived many falls, (one of them being a 10 foot fall onto pavement) not to mention twice accidentally being submerged in water. When I bought a new phone, I gave it to my mom. She actually used it recently. The only reason she had to replace it was because the ear-piece's volume got progressively quieter over the years, until finally it was too hard to hear anything.

INDIANAPOLIS – So now what?
The NBA playoffs began Saturday night, and nothing had changed. They are still the Indiana Puzzles. They are still the enigma that no one can explain, least of all themselves. They are still a shadow of December, only now, the defeats start to really hurt.
It was supposed to be different Saturday when the postseason dawned in Bankers Life Fieldhouse. The Pacers had come through their dark days, grown from their troubles, shown some life at the end of the regular season, when the No. 1 seed plopped into their laps.
They were ready to be their old selves.
What was it Frank Vogel said before Saturday night's game, about whether the Pacers would need any words of inspiration?
Just the atmosphere of the playoffs will work that.
And then they went out and were thumped by the Atlanta Hawks 101-93. As in the No. 8 seed Hawks. As in the 38-44 Hawks. As in ahead by 20 points Hawks.
Just one loss, to be sure.
It isn't the NCAA, George Hill said. One game doesn't mean we're out of the playoffs.
But still. It was supposed to be different, and who can understand why it wasn't? Trying to explain all the rebounds that got away from Indiana, Roy Hibbert finally sighed, I really don't know what to say.
And Vogel mentioned, I'm a little surprised we didn't play better.
The Pacers had gold shirts for all the customers Saturday night, hoping for a reboot from the season. The home team had come through its storm stronger, wiser, more confident, back on task.
Then they played, and the offense turned up numb. From a 50-50 halftime tie, the defense gave up 30 points in the third quarter.
So now what?
I think we're all right, David West said. We talked a little bit after the game. We can't just be in here like mutes. We've got to talk. That's one of the strengths of this group. We immediately start preparing for the next challenge and the next game. We have to have open communications.
This is why it's a long series.
The Indiana camp could talk of strategic changes. Foul less. Control Jeff Teague, who beat the Pacers off the dribble often on his way to 28 points.
Easier said than done, West said.
Move the ball better. Get to more loose balls.
If you don't win the 50-50 battle in the playoffs, Vogel said, you lose.
But there is something more subtle. This just doesn't look like the same team.
Hibbert is still MIO – Missing In Offense. He has not revived his 7-foot-2 inside presence – not when he's fed a nifty pass on the block, hesitates as if he fears Bill Russell might be in the neighborhood, then gets his shot swatted into the seats by Kyle Korver.
And some of the Pacers' disarray in the third quarter was unfathomable.
Paul George left the court for the locker room because of a leg cramp with Indiana down four. When he returned three minutes later, the margin was 15.
It felt too much like the March swoon, and this was supposed to be different. The Pacers looked like a beaten team. What to do about that?
Get a lead, Vogel said. The body language didn't look any different than any team losing a basketball game. We've got to play better. That'll take care of our energy and enthusiasm.
The atmosphere of the playoffs did not transform the Pacers.
Maybe a sense of growing urgency can. They lose at home Tuesday, and that's called a crisis. As it is, they will now have to win at least one game on the road, where they have lost seven of their last nine.
Of course, that was the regular season and this is the playoffs. Things are different, right?

Slaves in Galveston, Texas, finally received the news on June 19, 1865, erupting in spontaneous jubilation and huge celebrations among their communities that became known as Juneteenth, the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of African-American freedom in the United States.
Solano County's Juneteenth Celebration in Vallejo marks its Silver Anniversary on Saturday, June 15. An immeasurable debt of gratitude is owed to Vallejoans Sue King, Thelma Brown, the late Emma Holmon and others for their vision and dedication as founding officers and members of the Solano County Black Family Reunion Celebration Committee in 1989 when the first Juneteenth Celebration took place. Its purpose was to recognize the historic achievements of African-American families in a community picnic environment open to people of all ethnicities. The committee received tax exempt 501 (c) (3) designation in 1994.
We thank Kaiser Permanente, the City of Vallejo, ValCORE, xfinity, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Kappa Beta Omega Chapter, The Solano County Chapter of The Links and Vallejo Education Association for pledging sponsor support.

President, African American Family Reunion Celebration Committee

such tools is itself a system and is, therefore, a reasonable domain for the kinds of systems research carried out by human factors scientists.
There are many ways in which human factors research is and continues to be useful in addressing some of the problems that now are being confronted by the people engaged in providing job-oriented training. In the rest of this chapter, we will explore these problems and the current and potential contribution of human factors to them.
The very nature of work is changing. Instead of the physical manipulations that formerly characterized most industrial jobs, more and more jobs are based on the manipulation of symbols—words and numbers. New technologies and work processes are shifting skill requirements in some types of jobs from manual and job-specific to generic, from concrete to abstract. For example, in many modern factories, the production process is so computerized that many workers no longer physically execute tasks but are now responsible mainly for monitoring automated processes. Whereas previously a machinist adjusted and maintained machinery by hands-on manipulation, today a technician works through a keyboard and CRT display and consequently has a more distant relationship to both process and product.
A direct consequence of computerization is that tangible work outcomes are less evident. There is some evidence suggesting that spontaneous learning and skill transfer do not work as well in highly computerized environments as in more traditional workplaces. For example, the difference in performance between the best and the average appears to be greater in computerized work than in traditional jobs. This finding leads to the conjecture that less incidental or informal learning takes place in work that involves symbol manipulation. This conjecture is supported by the fact that much about symbol manipulation is invisible, unlike the visible actions involved in object manipulation. The findings also suggest that John Seely Brown (1988) and others are correct when they call for new forms of training such as a "cognitive apprenticeship," which would somehow make the mental procedures and decision processes of exemplary performers "visible" so that others might learn from them.
Similar concerns are expressed about the changing demographics of the workforce. In this era of vigorous global competition, rapid technological

I love a good Reuben sandwich and thought, "Why not make it into a pizza?" It's got extra cheesy goodness in the sauce, and smells wonderful coming out of the oven. —Tracy Miller, Wakeman, Ohio
6 Servings
Prep: 20 min. Bake: 15 min.
1 tube (13.8 ounces) refrigerated pizza crust

2 cups cubed pumpernickel bread
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 pound sliced deli corned beef, coarsely chopped
2 cups sauerkraut, rinsed and well drained
1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded Swiss cheese
Preheat oven to 425°. Unroll and press dough onto bottom of a
greased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Bake 6-8 minutes or until edges are

As an early step in the survey process (Figure 7.1), the committee issued a request for information to the astronomy and astrophysics community to solicit input on possible future research activities. More than 100 responses proposed significant construction or programmatic activities. Following an initial analysis by the PPPs, the survey committee requested further and more detailed information from a set of activity teams, which was subjected to a novel cost appraisal and technical evaluation (CATE) process (see Appendix C for a detailed discussion of this process). The objective of the CATE process was to judge the readiness, technical risk, and schedule risk for the proposed projects, and then to construct associated cost and schedule estimates. The CATE process was conducted by a private contractor (the Aerospace Corporation) that was hired by the NRC to assist the committee in executing this element of its charge.
Throughout the course of the survey, the committee and the PPPs remained engaged with the contractor to ensure that the contractor understood the key aspects of the proposed activities and the key points of analysis required by the panels and the committee. All elements of a project required to produce an initial science result were included in the assessment. The assessment was intended to include technical development and construction costs, as well as operating costs for a nominal 5-year mission or project execution, but not research costs needed to exploit the

GLADES COUNTY, Fla.- WINK News has new details the case of a Glades County teen accused of selling homemade poison on a black market website.
Investigators tell WINK News they found a pipe bomb, firearms, ricin and meth labs at Jesse Korff's home in Muse. After hearing of the evidence, the judge said Korff should stay behind bars.
But Korff's attorney argued the 19 year old was cooperating with authorities and said, if released, he would stay under house arrest.
The U.S Attorney's Office says a search warrant at the home uncovered a pistol shotgun and silencer, along with two meth labs, the deadly poison abrin and ricin.
Agents also discovered a pipe bomb, which they detonated on the property. Investigators say the teen admitted there were more toxins inside the home, and believe he acted alone.
Friday WINK News cameras caught Korff's sister and uncle as they left the hearing.
"They (the family) are devastated, I'll tell you that," said attorney Daniel Endrizal, III. He says the family was not surprised the teen would stay locked up.
"They are supportive of Jesse and hope he gets the help that he needs," said Endrizal. "He lost both his parents before he was 15 years old, remanded to foster care, he's had a tough way to go."
Korff is accused of selling the deadly poison abrin, found in a plant, on a black market website. The poison makes it appear as though the victim has the flu before death. The buyer was an undercover agent.
WINK News tried to talk to Jesse Korff's attorney, who had no comment. He said in court the teen was "seriously bullied" at school, insisted Korff was cooperating with authorities, was not a flight risk, and would stay under house arrest if released.
But the judge didn't agree, fearing the teen would once again start selling toxins online, if released, because they were readily available to him.
Investigators say Korff also used meth, heroin, and painkillers.
If convicted, he could spend life if prison.
Right now, there's no set date as to when US Marshals will escort Korff to New Jersey to face his charges. He's being sent there, because that's where the investigation originated.

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
Shedding light on 'dark energy'
With the whir of a giant digital camera, the biggest mystery in the universe is about to become a bit less mysterious.
Fifteen years ago, the world of science was rocked by the discovery that, contrary to our notions of gravity, distant galaxies appeared to be flying apart at an ever-accelerating rate. The observation implied that space itself was stretching apart faster and faster. It was akin to watching a dropped ball reverse course, speed upward and disappear into the sky.
The discovery made many cosmologists - the scientists who probe the very nature of nature itself - acutely uncomfortable. For either our understanding of gravity is cockeyed, or some mysterious repulsive force - quickly and glibly dubbed "dark energy" - permeates the universe.
In 2011, the Nobel Committee blessed the improbable discovery as real, handing their prize in physics to the two teams that nearly simultaneously made the observation.
"As unhappy as it made some of us, the expansion of the universe is indeed accelerating," said Marc Kamionkowski, professor of physics and astronomy at Johns Hopkins University. "That's how the universe works."
Now, after years of planning and construction, four new projects at telescopes in Chile, Hawaii and the South Pole are getting a handle on what, exactly, is doing this unseemly pushing.
Leading the way is the world's most powerful digital camera, constructed at Fermilab, the Energy Department facility in Illinois. The $50 million Dark Energy Camera took a decade to plan and build, and it sports a resolution of 570 megapixels - about a hundredfold more pixels than a smartphone camera. Technicians installed it atop a telescope in Chile last year, and after initial jitters - the camera was so heavy it made the telescope jiggle - the camera has been "tested, tweaked and fine-tuned," said Joshua Frieman, the Fermilab scientist leading the project, which has enlisted 120 scientists from 23 countries.
On Aug. 31, the big camera began snapping its way across a huge swath of the southern sky.
Each click captures light from nearly 100,000 distant galaxies. Over the next five years, the project, called the Dark Energy Survey, will catalog some 300 million galaxies and thousands of exploding stars flung across distant space and time, in what Frieman called "the biggest galactic survey yet."
Every night, scientists will beam 400 gigabytes of camera data to a supercomputing center at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where machines will build a giant time-lapse map of the universe going back some 8 billion years - or more than half way to the Big Bang that started it all.
Frieman calls it "a movie of cosmic history."
Scrutinizing this movie will narrow down the possibilities for what's causing cosmic acceleration. Because this acceleration can't be measured directly, its nature can only be divined indirectly, by measuring, for instance, how clumps of galaxies coalesce across space and time.
One possibility: Our understanding of gravity, explained by Einstein's general theory of relativity, breaks down across huge distances. The theory marked the culmination of Einstein's hardest thinking, and since its inception in 1916 it has withstood every test thrown at it. But general relativity may be incomplete.
Another possibility: A mysterious repulsive force permeates every point in the universe. This dark energy, if revealed, would be instant Nobel Prize fodder, Kamionkowski said.
"This is the one a lot of people would bet on," said David Spergel, an astrophysicist at Princeton University. "It's where I'd put most of my money."
Beyond these two possibilities, there are a "whole bunch of crazy ideas," Kamionkowski said. Spergel called most of these notions "intellectual aardvarks," saying, "They look beautiful only to their mothers." One such idea posits that the visible universe - what we think of as everything - is only one part of a far larger cosmos.
Combined with the Dark Energy Survey, three other projects coming online will further explore cosmic acceleration. Atop Mauna Kea in Hawaii, a camera at the Subaru Telescope is mapping galaxies in much of the northern sky. And at the South Pole and in Chile, two telescopes will take another tack, peering at the glow left over from the Big Bang. Studying this "cosmic background radiation" should reveal how cosmic acceleration has sped up or slowed down over the 13.7-billion-year history of the universe.
Combining data from all four projects could lead to a big "eureka moment," said Kamionkowski, a day the world's puzzled cosmologists would welcome.
"We don't know what makes up three quarters of the universe," Spergel said. "It's a little embarrassing."

Handy Steel Log Saw Horse 250mm CapacityFeatures:- Lightweight saw horse- All steel construction- Folds flat for storage- Holds wood up to 30cm (12") in diameter
Showing 1 to 10 of 19 reviews
Page 1 2 next>>
By Jeff stacey on 25/09/2014
For the money this was worth buying but it is not easy to assemble and must be held down with my foot whilst chain sawing small and medium logs as it is too light for purpose in my view - not easy to wield a chain saw on one leg! Heavy logs help the stability issue. However, it is easy to store and quick to unfold for use. Caution recommended.
Was this review helpful to you? Yes | No
By Eric mcrae on 08/07/2014
I did not want to spend £70 on a saw horse that will only get occasional use.So this one fits my budget.
it was not simple to assemble instructions are poor. 2 braces on the outside legs would make it more sturdy, i will make some when i get a chance.
i have sawn 10 logs with it and it did the job.
By Neil davies on 30/09/2013
could just about read the instructions because the print was so poor.
the bolts and nuts supplied are too long, leaving the whole thing shaking and unstable. Not exactly what you want when you've got a chainsaw in your hands.
By Stephen percival on 26/06/2013
Good value for money, light weight but strong enough for logs 12'' in diameter, folds up flat for storage, only down side is small branches 2 to 3 inch diameter, can flick up when using chain saw, could do with a strap or something to hold down onto saw horse, overall very good product, would reccomend to a friend

Good budget option
By June on 04/12/2012
For a budget item good value
By Chris hill on 13/11/2012
This is an excellent bit of kit for the money.Even though it has teeth it needs something extra in order to hold the log more securely. It appears a liitle flimsy but this is not the case. It has handled some fairly large and heavy logs for me. Previous reviewers have complained about the assembly instructions. If you take your time, read the instructions carfully and look at the pictures on the box you should not have any problems. I recommend this product.
By Charles coombes on 22/10/2012
Poor assembly instructions. Trust to luck and the pictures. Works itself loose after a being used a couple of times. However supports large logs better than small and allows use of chain saw.
By Ian on 12/10/2012
Good value, functional bit of kit. i like the fact it stores flat and is easy to carry to where you want to work. Best carried upside down and stored on hooks in the shed wall that way up. Assembly instructions & diagram are very basic but it is not too difficult to workout what goes where. I can see this tool lasting a good while.
By Simoncc on 02/10/2012
Great item though assembly drawing and instructions are very poor.
it performs extremely well when holding any wood for chain sawing and is easy to store and light to cart about. Overall a great purchase.

Signs of the holiday are already in many valley stores and as Christmas creeps up on us, valley tree farmers worry about their crop because of the drought.
"I like to go out and cut those trees and get the smell of the fresh tree in my house," said Barbara Gough.
Gough has been buying live Christmas trees for more than fifteen years and she says it's a part of her life.
"It brings back memories of my childhood," said Gough. "The smells of Christmas, the baking, the cookies and just the Christmas memories of childhood."
Bill Francisco is the owner of Francisco Farm. He's been in the business for 30 years. He says longevity is key when it comes to the drought and most of the older Christmas trees are doing fine.
"Seven to eight year old trees which are the marketable size trees have deeper roots," said Francisco, "they are not affected by the drought as much, except for rate of growth and color."
Francisco says even though his older trees are doing well, he has lost all his celandines he planted for 2002. That will affect him in a few years.
Francisco says he expects to do well this Christmas and if you are looking for a tree.
"If someone is shopping for a Christmas tree on a farm," said Francisco, they want to look for a tree with good color, height and the shape they want. If they are buying it on a retail lot, they want to make sure the needles don't break and that they are pliable."

NASA Juno probe HOWLS past Earth - and goes into HIBERNATION
NASA's Jupiter-bound Juno spacecraft waved goodbye to Earth as it shot past at 140,000kph - and mysteriously switched into "safe mode", the space agency confirmed to The Register. The $1.1bn probe buzzed our planet to gain a speed boost for its five-year journey to the gas giant. A spokesman for the space agency's Jet Propulsion …
A beer to send it on its way...
And a warning, it's gaining speed from us so we're losing speed and so dooming ourselves to spiral into the sun, oh noes!
Can someone get off the Earth & give it a bit of a push so we get our speed back?
NOTE: It was a coin tossup between beer & troll - the beer won...
If we didn't have all these space missions using the Earth to sling-shot themselves into the solar system and stealing our rotational speed, we wouldn't need these pesky leap seconds that seem to be causing so much grief recently.
Why, oh, why, won't someone think of the little 'uns?
Actually our decreased rotational speed would send us out to a further orbit, strangely enough.
Which is why such a flyby increases the rotational speed ... of the Earth around the Sun (i.e. the Earth drops to a lower orbit and goes faster; if you extract energy from gravitational systems, THEY HEAT UP!)
decreased rotational speed would send us out to a further orbit
And if the Earth's orbital velocity "ground to a complete stop", the planet would defy the Sun's gravity and fly off into space.
Re: Can someone get off the Earth & give it a bit of a push so we get our speed back?
's OK, I farted counterclockwise (when viewed from the North Pole).
re: rotational speeds
You lot are, of course, all wrong about the probe's effect on our *rotational* speed. The Earth does NOT rotate around the Sun. It rotates around its *axis*, and *revolves* around the Sun.
So the probe's passage has an unmeasurably small effect of marginal calculability on the Earth's rotation because it tidally steals a small amount of slowness. It also has an effect of similar size on the Earth's orbital speed, slowing it by conservation of (linear) momentum. This causes the Earth to drop into an orbit that's ever so slightly lower. Atoms are bigger than the difference, though.
I think you could say that it affects the Earth's, um, er, revolutionary speed. Make of that what you will.
"HI" is Morse Code laugh
Contrary to your post, the "HI" that hams are gonna send is the CW equivalent to an IM "LOL". And it's supposed to be sent at an agonizingly slow rate - equivalent to 1/30 Baud, where one "dit" symbol lasts 30 seconds!

Re: "HI" is Morse Code laugh
Mike W5VSI. Your last message was garbled. Please repeat.
Re: "HI" is Morse Code laugh
Diddley dah-di-dah...pip pip!
Re: "HI" is Morse Code laugh
my brain was forced to access its dusty recesses.

"HI" is Morse Code laugh
Contrary to your post's suggestion that "HI" is a greeting, it's actually a ham CW (Morse Code) abbreviation for a laugh, or the IM equivalent of "LOL". And it's supposed to be sent at an agonizingly slow speed of 1/30 Baud.
Not sure how to translate that to words per minute but suspect it's more like words per hour.

Re: Ham radio

A good idea
This thing's heading off into the outer reaches of the solar system and they think arranging a DDoS attack is a wise idea?
Who's the rocket scientist who thought that one up...
Set your alarm clocks for....
August 9 (2014)...talk about advanced warning...that due date is a gestation period away...
October 9th, not August 9th!
It's tonight, not next year! Please amend the article.
Re: October 9th, not August 9th!
For a second I thought this was the beloved "Reg Delay" [tm], but Space Weather indeed lists the event for October 9.
Re: October 9th, not August 9th!
"Juno, launched in August 2011, will be passing 560 km above Earth's surface at 3.21pm Eastern Daylight Time in America on August 9 (7.21 pm GMT, and 4.51 am on Australia's east coast on August 10)."
Is this an example of confusion causes by the Yanks inability to write dates the right way round?
US dates
Does anybody else use middle-endian numbers for anything?
In mitigation it's good to know that the US military uses little endian dates. It's not often that you can see some sanity in military decisions, even though they should of course be using big-endian dates!
Posted 20131010012341
You've forgotten to add the 200mS pause between the Auto CQ repeating, thus ensuring your call is never actually answered. It's just used to hold your frequency whilst you have a personal needs break, meal or seemingly a nap?
If you spend that amount of time sending HI then you've no chance to send your callsign.
Someone will be along to tell us that sending this message without a callsign violates licence conditions in many places <g>
Fortunately with the deliberate shutdown of the FCC by the DemocRATS, including unattended automated databases, you are now free to forget about that pesky ID requirement with impunity. If a station fails to identify, and there is no bureaucrat to hear it, is it really a violation?
They thought of that -- the procedure was to send your call sign at normal CW speed during the first "dit" of the slow-speed "HI" message. So Juno would have heard the first "dit" as being quieter than the rest of the "HI" message, because it consisted of lots of people sending their call sign (hence transmitting about 50% of the time) rather than lots of people sending a continuous carrier.
(If you wanted to get fancy, you could have sent your call sign using frequency shift keying during the first "dit" period --- so this would be heard as a full-volume slow "dit" by Juno's wide-band reciever, and as a normal speed CW call-sign by someone else (e.g. Ofcom) listening with a narrow filter).
Target Practice
I for one welcome our Jovian Overlords...but will nevertheless be keeping my morse key silent during the time when Juno could target its Plasma Blaster at me. Call me suspicious, but this sounds like a chilling conspiracy to rid the world of us Hams !
posted anonymously for extra precaution ;)
Re: Target Practice
Posted "anonymously" with your callsign in plain text. Don't worry, I'm sure the Ofcom DB isn't searchable online.
I however, shall be asleep at that time of the morning. My antenna is rubbish on 10m anyway.
Re: Target Practice
Call me suspicious
Hello, suspicious.
Ground track
Sheesh, Juno is going to make a screeching handbrake turn somewhere above northern Chile!
I'm trying to visualize this in glorious 3-D, complete with Juno's (presumably hyperbolic) trajectory, Earth's orbital motion and rotation, and I'm totally failing! (That bit isn't the joke that the icon refers to, BTW)
i'm just glad NASA had a few spare bucks to keep enough lights on for things like this and watching the ISS.
of course if anything major should go wrong at the ISS, and the Russians can't get everybody out safely, i'm sure that the US congress will immediately get it's poop in a group and fund whatever is needed. in about two years!
who am i kidding? they'd yell something like SPACEGHAZI!!!!! and blame someone else.
beer because i'm going to drink myself into oblivion thinking about all the R&D trashed by this unnecessary shutdown.
What shutdown is this you are talking about, Monsieur
The Pentagon Spent USD 63 x 10⁹ Before the Government Shutdown
That's why there are no aliens
It's the incessant babble of our radio (and TV, for those people who don't realise that, technically speaking, they are the same) transmissions which sends any spacecraft that is unlucky enough to be exposed to them into a safe mode. Where "safe" would mean putting as many light-years as possible between itself and the source.
Maybe the good book doesn't say Mostly harmless. Could the entry really read: Stay away, for your own sanity.
Safe Mode?
It noticed it is GUMMINT SHUTDOWN TIME!
"Yepee. I can sleep in."
Move along, nothing to see here!
Going into safe mode is nothing unsual for spacecraft. In a harsh radiation environment, they're subject to frequent "single event upsets" (SEUs). Well-written flight software detects these, and either repairs the damaged data if possible (by "voting" between redundant copies), power-cycles the affected system if not, or - in more substantial cases - having the safety processor drop the whole system into safe mode, from which the subsystems can be brought up, one by one.
As I think I predicted in an earlier posting here, the Sun's rather weedy "solar maximum" in this 11-year cycle has turned into a double-peak, with a lot of activity in the past few days. Click on this link to see an animation of the GOES X-ray images for the past 24 hours. It's quite impressive at the moment.
I wouldn't be remotely surprised if Juno hit the edge of a small solar storm and was briefly incapacitated. I'd be astonished if it was due to the efforts of the radio hams saying "Hi!", though!
Re: Move along, nothing to see here!
Your spec might say that, but mine says a maximum of 1 safe mode event for a 15 year mission. My majority voting is to help ensure that, and also has to include a SEE in 1 channel and a failure in another channel at the same time. Worst case, some of my circuits expect a SEE every 24 hours. I haven't even started on the new Jovian mission yet.
Saying that, it's easy compared to sticking to the compliance of a certain countries export regulations who suddenly decide that a comparitor designed in 1972 is now a munition and cannot be moved from one building to another without authority, even though it was designed in and manufactured years ago :(

No one, morse doesn't have lowercase letters. :-P
Re: Move along, nothing to see here!
@AC - I work in satellites. As I'm posting under my own name, I can't discuss details like specced SEU or safe mode event frequencies, except to say that we certainly do a lot of defensive coding to prevent disruption, and to recover from more serious events without more than minimum downtime.
Well *I* shall not be adding any more inane morse chatter to the aether (W8YFL) partly because I never got my G4 certification, partly because I let my G8 license lapse thirty summod years ago, but mostly because I don't have a shed with a shortwave radio in it.
Safe mode aye?
Reboot it and press F8, then pick "Start Windows Normally", that usually works for me. Can someone zip out to the console real quick? We have no ILO to it.
