Hey! Thanks for thinking of us! Well, Hunter is finally sleeping at night again, which says a lot because Thursday and Friday night he only slept about 4-5 hours on and off. He was miserable. I can't think of another word (probably because I am sleep deprived as well!), but he was WORSE than miserable.
Friday night, we finally had to resort to benedryl to help him sleep. I am a pretty firm believer that sleeping helps your body heal so much faster, and he just wasn't sleeping.
I think he has sores in his throat because he is acting like he can't even swallow, not water, milk, medicine, his own saliva (he just has his mouth open and the drool drips out like a faucet.
Like I said, he actually slept last night from 9:45-5:45, then really wanted a bottle at 5:45 so I also snuck in Ibuprofen, and he is currently still asleep at 7:40!
Oh-also, I found out last night he is getting his first molar! That is NOT helping, lol!!
The worst thing that could happen is Charlotte won't have grown much in her next u/s this Thursday, and the MFM will want me to deliver that day or the next. (his b-day party weekend, still getting over hand/foot/mouth, and while I am freaking out that I am carrying those germs and don't want to give them to Charlotte!)

Noble Rot Restaurant Review: Enjoy Noble Rot's expansive fourth floor perspective from either the outdoor patio or the glassed-in porch. There's a seasonal menu that is about as locally sourced as it gets: many ingredients are grown in the restaurant's expansive rooftop garden (public tours are offered each Tuesday at 5 p.m.). The 300-plus-selection wine list includes 30 to 50 wines by the glass, and typically a half dozen wine flights. Competent servers know their stuff and ably guide patrons through their wine journeys. A full bar is available as well if you prefer a cocktail with dinner. Try one of the interesting salads, perhaps a melding of green beans, red pepper, almonds and manchego, or one of the panini (ham, cheddar and mango chutney, or grilled butternut squash with caramelized onions and goat cheese). Heartier dishes range from rockfish with pepper, squash, corn and shrimp in tomato broth, to fried chicken with red rice, green beans and grilled peaches. The happy hour menu is updated frequently and runs from 5 p.m.-6 p.m.

MaxLinear MxL603 Tuner Selected By Top-Tier Set-Top Box Manufacturers
MaxLinear Inc. (NYSE: MXL), a leading provider of integrated radio frequency (RF) and mixed-signal integrated circuits for broadband communications applications, today announced that it has more than 40 confirmed design wins for its latest generation silicon TV tuner, the MxL603. The MxL603 meets all worldwide cable and terrestrial broadcast specifications, making it the ideal solution for a wide variety of cable and terrestrial set-top box products.
"The MxL603 has been a huge success in the marketplace," said Brian Sprague, vice president and general manager at MaxLinear. "It's the ultimate combination of best-in-class performance with ultra-low power, design flexibility and very competitive pricing that makes the MxL603 extremely attractive to our set-top box customer base."
Because of its ability to support all worldwide digital cable and terrestrial broadcast standards, the MxL603 has been rapidly adopted by virtually all leading set-top box manufacturers, across a variety of market segments including DVB-T2, DVB-T, ATSC, DTMB, ISDB-T and DVB-C.
Next-generation set-top boxes based on MaxLinear's new MxL603 silicon tuner are already under development and will enable manufacturers to achieve a level of RF performance that was previously unobtainable. In typical emerging DVB-T2 markets, field reception issues are common due to the presence of multiple RF interference signals and a crowded analog TV spectrum. The MxL603 is able to operate in this type of difficult reception environment without any external LNA or additional on-board filtering.The MxL603 performance also provides protection against interference from future LTE/4G handset and base-station transmissions, which are known to cause severe reception issues in set-top boxes with low-performance tuners. "Our digital CMOS technology is the key to delivering the low power consumption, high performance and small size that are major reasons we've had such great success in DVB-T2 set-top boxes," Sprague said. "Our tuner technology enables consumer products to be smaller, more environmentally friendly and more robust in the very difficult reception environments typical in emerging market countries."

At times the notions of status, success, and money change due to a generational shift, according to luxury marketing research firm Unit Marketing. It happened in the 1960s, when Baby Boomers came of age--and it will happened again soon with the coming of age of the Millennials.
Unit Marketing plans a new report on Millennials, a generation that the firm says will begin to reach peak earning years in 2010. The wealthiest of this generation will enter a window of affluence that, Unity Marketing said, will last for two decades.
The firm said predicting the behavior of the Millennial generation, born between 1978 and 2000, can be difficult. Past studies by the firm has identified four important ways in which Millennials are different from previous generations.
1. Millennials will reject the status symbols of their parents. Millennials will find status in achievements rather than their purchases. Unity research indicates members of this generation find significantly more satisfaction from earning a degree or completing an athletic event than by items they purchase. One example: a Millennial is likely to be more interested in owning a $500 Ironman triathlon watch signifying the achievement than a $5,000 brand name watch?
2. Millennials will trade money for time, and will therefore have less money to spend on luxury items. A Millennials may be willing work less overtime, and see slower career progress and earnings increases, in order to enjoy their time now.
3. Millennials will shift from conspicuous consumption to conscious consumption, guided by social, environmental, and ethical values. These values will guide Millennials' purchase decisions. Unity said this attitude can already be seen in the generation's rent-rather-than-buy tendencies.
4. Millennials think of "luxury" as a marketer's label: Millennials are savvy to marketing techniques and perceive the term "luxury" as a tool to entice them to buy rather than an adjective conveying something important about a product.
"Affluent Millennials will key in on products that help them live the lives they want, rather than looking for luxury or status as traditionally defined," Unity said.

European Forest Week, 20-24 October 2008
* Forests cover 44 per cent of Europe's land area and continue to expand.
* Europe's forests combat climate change by continuously absorbing and storing harmful greenhouse gases.
* In our changing climate, wood, our oldest renewable source of material and energy, is still the smart choice in the 21st century.
All over Europe next week, the forest sector is seeking to raise awareness of the role of forests in addressing key social, economic and political concerns related to issues such as climate change mitigation, market integration, renewable energy supply and many others. Hundreds of in-country events, and regional meetings in Rome and Brussels, will persuade high level policymakers, experts from other sectors, and the general public of the importance of sustainable forest management and explain the many ways in which European forests contribute to the continent's well being.
The European Forest Week was declared by the ministers responsible for forests of 46 European countries. It is jointly prepared by the European Union, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the Ministerial Conference on the Protection of Forests in Europe and the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE).
Mr. Christopher Prins, Chief of the UNECE/FAO Timber Section, explains:
* "Forest and wood make a major contribution to climate change, but this is not well understood and imperfectly reflected in the current climate change regime.
* Wood is, by far, the most important renewable energy in the UNECE region, and this will grow, to meet the ambitious targets set by policymakers. Sustainable levels are still not clear and there will be tradeoffs with forest industries and biodiversity.
* Forests safeguard water quality and quantity. This role may become more crucial in the face of climate change. Schemes for payment for ecosystem services should be developed.
Addressing these issues, along with many others, the European Forest Week presents an unprecedented opportunity to engage other sectors in a participatory dialogue on forest related issues, and to increase the visibility of the forest sector's contribution to sustainable development and climate change mitigation. UNECE is working with many partners, during and after the European Forest Week, notably the Ministerial Conference on the Protection of Forests in Europe, the European Union and many international, civil society and private sector organizations. The programme for the events in Rome brings together partners from all over the region. Additional details relating to the European Forest Week are available at www.europeanforestweek.org."

About Peoria crime rates
With a crime rate of 52 per one thousand residents, Peoria has one of the highest crime rates in America compared to all communities of all sizes - from the smallest towns to the very largest cities. One's chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime here is one in 19. Within Illinois, more than 96% of the communities have a lower crime rate than Peoria.
Importantly, when you compare Peoria to other communities of similar population, then Peoria crime rate (violent and property crimes combined) is quite a bit higher than average. Regardless of how Peoria does relative to all communities in America of all sizes, when NeighborhoodScout compared it to communities of similar population size, its crime rate per thousand residents stands out as higher than most.
The crime data that NeighborhoodScout used for this analysis are the seven offenses from the uniform crime reports, collected by the FBI from 17,000 local law enforcement agencies, and include both violent and property crimes, combined.
Now let us turn to take a look at how Peoria does for violent crimes specifically, and then how it does for property crimes. This is important because the overall crime rate can be further illuminated by understanding if violent crime or property crimes (or both) are the major contributors to the general rate of crime in Peoria.
For Peoria, we found that the violent crime rate is one of the highest in the nation, across communities of all sizes (both large and small). Violent offenses tracked included forcible rape, murder and non-negligent manslaughter, armed robbery, and aggravated assault, including assault with a deadly weapon. According to NeighborhoodScout's analysis of FBI reported crime data, your chance of becoming a victim of one of these crimes in Peoria is one in 125.
In addition, NeighborhoodScout found that a lot of the crime that takes place in Peoria is property crime. Property crimes that are tracked for this analysis are burglary, larceny over fifty dollars, motor vehicle theft, and arson. In Peoria, your chance of becoming a victim of a property crime is one in 23, which is a rate of 44 per one thousand population.

Rhode Island has this thing where you can plead guilty with a good driving record. I did just that, showed the court officer the certified copy of the driving record, and the judge just dismissed it! Yay!
10 years after introducing 43 Things to the world, we have decided we have met our last goal: completing the incredible experience that has been 43 Things. Please join us in giving one last cheer to all the folks who have shared their goals with the world, as well as all the people who have worked at The Robot Co-op to build this incredible website. We won a Webby Award, published a book, and brought happiness to a lot of people.
Starting today, 43 Things users can export their goals and entries from the site. Starting August 15, we will make the site "read only". 43 Things users will still be able to view the site and export their content, but we won't be taking any new content from users. We hope to leave the site up for folks to see and download their content until the end of the year. Ending on New Year's Eve takes us full circle.
It has been a long ride (one of our original goals was to "build a company that lasts at least 2 years" - we beat that one!) While we wish the site could live on, it has suffered from a number of challenges - changes in how people use the site, the advertising industry, and how search engines view the site. We wish the outcome was different – but we've always been realistic about when our goals are met and when they aren't.
As of today, you will be able to download your goals and entries. See more about that on the FAQ page. Thanks for 10 great years of goal-setting and achieving.
- The Robots.
Rhode Island has this thing where you can plead guilty with a good driving record. I did just that, showed the court officer the certified copy of the driving record, and the judge just dismissed it! Yay!
If I want to accomplish this goal, I'll need to do some work on my motorcycle, because when I rode it this weekend, it had a few issues. It's 21 years old so problems are to be expected, but these will need to be fixed if I'm going to ride it 6000+ miles in 2 months.
1) The biggest problem that I noticed was that the clutch felt like it was going to start slipping, so this winter I'll need to inspect it and probably rebuild it.
2) Then all the cables with rubber on them need to be replaced, because they're cracking.
3) Now both tires have slow leaks instead of just the front one. It's not something that I'll need to fix, but I'll need to be aware of it while I ride.
4) Lastly, the starter motor has a strange problem where it won't shut off. I need to remove a side panel and disconnect the battery before it will stop. That need to be fixed, especialy considering how hard it is to jump start the thing.
I'm 24 and I started giving blood in High School, so I'm up to 11 lifetime units now. I had to take a year off when I got my 1st tattoo and I can't donate again until next March because of my 2nd tattoo, but it's something that I'll definitely keep doing when I'm allowed to.
I learned a little bit of MIG / TIG / brazing in college shop, and I even taught the basics (not TIG) as a TA, but I never really got good at it. I'd love to take a welding class and really learn how to make good welds so that I can eventually go build random stuff in my garage without having to bring the pieces to a shop to have it done.
A more dangerous route would be to earn a private pilot's license and then join the mile high club… I really need to finish getting my license as well!
I'm going to do this next summer on my motorcycle! I've wanted to do it for a few years, and this week I finally made up my mind. Hopefully people will want to come along with me, but that's not really the point. I have a travelling companion of my father, but he won't be able to get the WHOLE time off work, so maybe for a week here and there we'll ride together – I haven't looked into it, but he thinks that renting a bike every so often will work out…
So early next summer I'm going to watch the sun rise over the Atlantic, sometime later watch it set over the Pacific, and then come back to see it rise on the Atlantic again… I plan on camping on a beach, whether or not it gets me a citation :-P
I'll save money by bringing some of my own food along and camping, and I'll waste money on a souvenir from each state :-P I'm also not limiting myself to the USA, I'd be willing to take a side trip through Canada, maybe after I hit up Niagara Falls.
It's all I've been thinking about all week, I can't wait!
I have 37 hours behind me and I got my first solo cross-country trip out of the way, then I went to college and stopped. Someday I'll earn my private pilot's certificate though…
Did it this past Monday (but not the first time)... I'll admit that I did it alone, but it got me thinking about lots of things, and I loved it.
Doing this with someone special at night would be wonderful.
2 tats so far and I want more…
I've done this twice. Once I was alone, and I really needed to think; I even had the radio off for about 8 of the 10 hours of driving that I did. Started in Troy, NY and ended up in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. From there I drove to Mt Washington, NH and then back to Troy. In Cape Elizabeth, I got up early in the AM and drove to a state park (free) and sat there all day watching the ocean. I didn't drive Mt Washington because it was too much money. I'll do that someday (adds new goal).
The second time there were 3 of us, and we only got to Wilmington, VT-ish, but it was a much more roundabout route, and it was TOTALLY worth it; I got to know those people really well, too. We woke up before the sunrise, watched it from a 100-mile view, and drove home.
Both times I slept in the car in some random parking lot because I didn't have the $$ for a hotel room and it was too late anyways.
Buy a map, gas up, pick a direction (N, S, E, W) and go! You only really need a weekend to find some amazing stuff.

For the fourth consecutive year, the U.S. News & World Report has named the University of North Florida a "Best Regional" university in its 2014 edition of "Best Colleges," which includes rankings and data of more than 1,600 schools nationwide. UNF ranked No. 51, in front of local private college, Jacksonville University, which ranked No. 62.
U.S. News and World Report names UNF Best Regional College
U.S. News & World Report has also named UNF to a number of its other lists including:
The University of North Florida is among the hundreds of higher education institutions included in U.S. News & World Report's 2014 Best Online Programs rankings released today. UNF is ranked in the Top 75 in the country for "Best Online Graduate Education Programs," which includes data of nearly 1,000 distance education programs nationwide.
And we did it again. Just recently, the Princeton Review again named UNF a "best value college" for 2014, making it the fourth time UNF made the best value list.
The Princeton Review has also named UNF to a number of its other lists including:
And, for the sixth consecutive year The Princeton Review has named UNF a Best College in the Southeast.
And, for the eighth consecutive year The Princeton Review has named UNF's Coggin College a Best Business School.
For the second consecutive year, UNF has been named as one of the top colleges and universities across the country in the annual "America's Best Colleges" 2012 list, created by Forbes Magazine.
The University was ranked fourth in Florida among all state universities and was the only Northeast Florida institution of higher learning to make the list. This year, UNF moved up 64 places to No. 427 in the nation and was ranked ahead of the University of South Florida (No. 449) and the University of Central Florida (No. 462).
Forbes Magazine Ranks UNF Among Best Colleges in America
For the third consecutive year, Kiplinger Personal Finance named UNF a best value public college, emphasizing the value an investment in an undergraduate education at UNF pays now and in the future.
The College Database, the most current and comprehensive source for U.S. college and university data, has named the University of North Florida to its top colleges for highest financial return on investment in Florida. UNF is ranked No. 5 on the list for providing a high-quality education at an affordable price.
The University of
North Florida has made a unique new list of 60 low-cost colleges with graduates
who earn high starting salaries released by AffordableCollegesOnline.org (ACO).
The University was recognized by the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education as a STARS Bronze Institution based on the University's accomplishments in campus sustainability.
The Sierra Club, America's largest and most influential grassroots environmental organization with more than 1.4 million members working to protect communities and the planet, named UNF as one of it's top 100 "cool green schools" for our commitment to the environment and its preservation even during expansion.
For the sixth consecutive year, UNF has been named one of the most military friendly schools in the United States by G.I. Jobs magazine. The 2015 Military Friendly Schools list honors the top 15 percent of colleges, universities and trade schools nationwide that are doing the most to embrace America's military service members and student veterans.
For the second consecutive year, The President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll named the UNF as a leader for its work in community settings, student volunteerism and philanthropic efforts as well as academic programs that include forms of community-based learning.
The Florida Chapter of the American Institute of Architects named UNF's Student Union as the No. 4 building in the state. The Student Union is the only local building in the top five.
And it doesn't stop there. Not only is the University as a whole being recognized for its outstanding contributions to education, some of our individual programs are receiving acclaim, as well.
After reading through our accomplishments above, we think you now know why at UNF, we say, there is "No one like you. No place like this."

Scientists Are Counting Polar Bears Using Satellite Images
Even though it's their job, not even researchers want to brave the chilly Canadian tundra to count how many polar bears there are. So, instead they're using images obtained from satellites to get an accurate count of how many furry white beasts are around.
The study is being spearheaded by Seth Stapleton, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Minnesota. He told CBC News that is the first time a technique like this has been tested in the region. Read More

Brandy and Monica Planning Summer Tour
Brandy and Monica's new duet, "It All Belongs To Me," reunited the ladies musically for the first time since their 1998 collaboration, "The Boy Is Mine." Now they are set to keep building on their renewed relationship with a possible summer tour in the works.
In a radio interview with Hot 93.7's Jenny Boom Boom, Monica revealed that she and Brandy are doing what they can to make the shows happen.
"We're working on that now and trying to find different sponsors and people that will get us in the cities we feel like we should be in, so it's not just as easy as saying it, but we're actually putting forth the effort to try and make sure it happens."
The tour would come at a perfect time for promotion as Brandy's next album is dropping in May, while Monica's New Life project will be available on April 10. Listen to Monica's chat with Jenny Boom Boom and watch her and Brandy perform their Rico Love produced track on 'The Tonight Show With Jay Leno':

As much as I want to like the Ace Attorney series, by virtue of it being at a detective game in lawyer game's clothing, I could not manage to play past the first trial without becoming irreparably pissed off. Everything that annoyed me in the first two games was back in force for a third outing. I know that asking a Capcom series to change between games is like asking a child to stop flicking the light switch on and off while you're working, but it's not like I'm asking for Mr. Wright to consider a career change to spaceman and swap his lawyer's badge for a photon shotgun; the things that render Ace Attorney unenjoyable for me are easily fixed by hiring someone who can write.[Yet another episode of Phoenix Wright!]

I didn't realize 90/100 on Metacritic was lukewarm.
I am surprised at how few of this year's games I actually played.

Same. Most of this year's great games were not played by me. I voted 1. Mass Effect 2. Portal and then couldn't think of anything else GOTY-worthy. Well, I did manage to scrape up Pokemon and Etrian Odyssey as 4th and 3rd choices. Eh.
because it's amazing and all the games you like are badI don't understand why the bloody fuck you're all gay for portal when it's a simple mechanism crossed with some dark humor.
You fucking blink and it's over not to mention that most of the maps are rather easy.
Was I supposed to play it with some sort of ass toy? I've had orgasms that were more amusing.
Anyone else find reading other people's lists really interesting? I mean 4rch3nemy has Worms DS 2 over Mario!

An interview with Don Shafer
Don Shafer built Athens Group's oil and gas practice and leads engineers in delivering software services for exploration, production, and pipeline monitoring systems for clients such as BP, Chevron, ExxonMobil, ConocoPhillips, and Shell. He led groups developing and marketing hardware and software products for Motorola, AMD, and Crystal Semiconductor. Shafer managed a large PC product group producing award-winning audio components for Apple. From the development of low-level software drivers to the selection and monitoring of semiconductor facilities, he has led key product and process efforts. In December, he spoke with Dick Price, the IEEE Computer Society's Director of Sales and Marketing.
DP:Today I'm talking with Don Shafer, a longtime Computer Society volunteer and friend of mine who is completing a tour as the Society's treasurer. Don, how you doing?
DS: Very good, Dick. Thank you very much for allowing me to do this interview today.
DP: We're conducting these interviews to give people a sense of how they can progress through a field in computer science and software development. Could tell us where you are in your career right now and a little bit about how you got there.
DS: Well, I'd be glad to. Right now—and it seems like only yesterday—but in six months, I will have spent 40 years in engineering and the computer industry. I got my undergraduate degree in 1970, and today, I'm the chief technology officer of a software engineering firm here in Austin, Texas. We've been around 11 years. I'm one of the founders, and we've got international operations where we're doing both systems engineering and software engineering verification and validation of fairly complex control systems for the offshore oil and gas industry.
We've got teams all over the world, from the top of the North Sea to Australia, off Africa, to India and China, doing the commissioning, the analysis, and the verification and validation of control systems on these very large, deep-water oil rigs. Each one of these rigs costs close to a billion dollars to get out of the shipyard, get it configured, and get it onsite so we can start drilling for oil. It's pretty exciting.
Throughout my career is I've always tried to find out what was the exciting part of software engineering and work in those areas.
DP: I believe you travel out to these rigs at times?
DS: Absolutely. I've gone through the all the training. In fact, we got into this business about seven years ago, and at that time, we were doing analysis work for one of our other groups in Houston. I said, "gee, you know, we've got some of these interesting issues with these drilling control systems that don't work, could we go out and take a look at it?"
I had to go back through not only safety training, buying some steel-toed boots, but also had to go through the helicopter training, where they strap you into the helicopter fuselage, turn you upside down and drop you into the water, and you have to go through the escape training.
It's a lot of very interesting stuff for software engineers to do. You don't see a lot of other software engineers out on these rigs because most of them don't want to go through either firefighting school or getting dropped upside down in a swimming pool.
DP: Yeah, I bet. What kinds of things need to be controlled on one of these rigs?
DS: Well, think about where these rigs are, especially in the Gulf of Mexico. One of the first systems we did was a drilling rig that has dynamic positioning. I look over my career and think of the work we did in sensor systems in the 1970s, where we had uplinks to orbiting aircraft—we weren't using satellites that much.
Today, 40 years later, we've got fully dynamically positioned ships. These ships and drilling platforms, their size is pretty hard to grasp unless you've seen one. Some of the largest ones are about 140,000 tons displacement. The largest aircraft carrier in US Navy is only 100,000 tons displacement, so this is larger than the largest aircraft carriers we've ever built.
We're looking at controlling the systems that keep these enormous rigs within 10 meters of a spot on the ocean floor—which is anywhere from 10,000 to 15,000 feet below the rig. They're drilling in 15,000 feet of water, and then once they get to the ocean bottom, they put a whole set of equipment down there to handle different types of protection and the wellhead itself, and then they drill up to five miles beyond that.
So if you can think of the enormity of this and how much software control—wow! This could never have been done without software and without good software controls. Humans just can't keep enough of the data points in their brains to make this happen.
DP: I know you're one of the few fellow Vietnam veterans I'm going to talk to on this series, and I believe you attended one of the military academies. I wondered what factors pulled you from that direction into the career you ultimately pursued.
DS: My father gave me my first soldering iron and breadboard when I was about 7 years old. He was an engineer with Bell Labs. During World War II, he worked on radar systems and then on the original ballistic missile defense system that was put in place in the '50s around Washington, DC. So my bent was always to go into electrical engineering, and I spent a lot of time building radios, doing things like that, building stereos—all that stuff.
I realized that when I was about two years from graduating from high school that I wanted to go to one of the services academies. I had been to West Point; I had been to Annapolis. I had grown up on the East Coast and decided, well, you know, that's not what I really want to do. What I really want to do is go fly. So I went to the Air Force Academy.
My first two years, I thought I was going to be a EE, an electrical engineer. But some time in the second semester of my sophomore year, I went up and talked to the dean of the department, and I said, "you know, all this stuff's really interesting, but I'm not learning anything. I've done all this stuff before." I explained some of my background and what I'd been doing. "So, when am I going to learn something new?"
He said, "Well, probably when you get to graduate school, but you're not going to learn much new as an undergraduate."
So I decided, okay, I want to change my career. I didn't finish in EE. Instead, I decided to go into astrophysics. When I finished my degree, I had had two years of Double E and two years of astronautics. And then I got my commission in the Air Force.
At that time, we were just using large-scale mainframe computers and everything was on punch cards. When I went into the Air Force and I had done a lot of parachuting at the academy. I was on the freefall parachute team and had several hundred freefalls, and in one of those I had had an accident with a parachute, which knocked me out of going to pilot training.
Instead I went to intelligence school, which many of us feel is a contradiction in terms. But I have papers that say I've been to intelligence school, which is more than some of my colleagues have.
After that, since I had had a background in parachuting and had also gone through Army Airborne School, HALO (High Altitude-Low Opening) School, Ranger School, and I had also gone through underwater demolition training.
So with that, when I went into the Air Force, after I finished my intelligence training, I immediately went into a detachment that was part of Defense Intelligence Agency. I ended up trading that to be a basically an Intel combat controller.
In the mid-1960s McNamara had decided that technology was going to help win the Vietnam war. One of the things that he put in place was a project called Igloo White, which was a set of remote sensors on the Ho Chi Minh Trail. The sensors had been designed by companies like Bell Labs—a lot of folks from the different national laboratories, both Los Alamos and Livermore, worked on the design.
These sensors were either earth penetrators or they hung from trees on parachutes. They had sniffers in them, seismic gear, and acoustic gear. All this data was uplinked through aircraft orbiting over South Vietnam—well, actually, mostly over South Vietnam but other spots as well. We had a large computer center in Thailand where we did all the data reduction.
My team did everything from doing the data-reduction sampling to being the Maytag repairman. I had a team that went into the Ho Chi Minh Trail and checked on the sensors, which is something that causes a very high increase in one's pucker factor.
DP: You said your dad was a big influence as a very young boy. But through your college years, and perhaps graduate school, is there somebody else who played a big role in moving you along in your career?
DS: I was lucky. When I got out of the Air Force, I went right to work for Boeing, where I worked on the AWACS—the Airborne Warning and Control System. It was an interesting project. One person who had a real strong affect on me there was a gentleman by the name of Ben Prince. Ben was one of the senior program managers and then became a vice president of Boeing Aerospace.
I had briefed Ben a number of times on some of the things we found. This was 1972-73, the beginnings of really some of the initial software engineering work that was going on. We were putting together teams with folks like Barry Boehm. As I briefed Ben, he helped me understand how to really stay focused on technology—not just from the research point of view, but to take technology and implement it and build products with it.
DP: As you moved through your career later on, was there one decision that you think was particularly smart on your behalf?
DS: Starting out as an engineer and being very technical, I realized when I was at Boeing and interacting a lot with other aerospace companies, that as an engineer, even as an engineering manager, if I didn't understand how the companies worked and how the organizations worked, I was always going be at a loss. So, in the late 1970s, I decided to get an MBA. I tell everybody that I'm just an engineer with an MBA, and the only reason I got an MBA was purely out of defense, so I knew how badly the finance guys were sticking it to my projects.
For all of us who are technical, whether we're in engineering, whether we're in the private sector, the public sector, or even at a university—if you're the dean of a university department or heading up some projects or getting research funds—you better understand the finances and the business aspects, because if not, you're going to become a victim.
DP: Good. So was there a particularly dumb decision, some place you left too quickly or stayed too long?
DS: Probably, I left a job at Advanced Micro Devices too soon and went to another semiconductor company. I left AMD because I had just finished building up an about 160-person team and through no fault of ours—we were hitting all of our targets, but one of the major processors tanked—I got a call from the folks in Sunnyvale saying, "We're sorry, we're going to cancel your project, you've got to lay everybody off."
So I went to another company where got a very nice promotion, but about two weeks afterwards I got a call from the president saying, "We need to talk to you." And again, back in Sunnyvale—this was another semiconductor company—he said, "I've got some good news for you and some bad news. The good news is you're now going to be in charge of three divisions, and the bad news is you've got to fire half the people."
So I should have stayed where I was, because I just jumped from the frying pan into the fire on that one.
DP: At the top, I said that I know you through your long involvement with the Computer Society. I wonder if you could describe one of your more rewarding experiences as a volunteer.
DS: Right now, I'm ending my three-year tour on the Board of Governors and two years as a Treasurer. Being on the Board of Governors these past three years has been a real challenge. We've made a lot of changes to the Computer Society. One of the more rewarding areas on the Board of Governors was pushing for resolution of the Massachusetts Avenue headquarters, getting that sold and really helping fix our financial position and also get something that could have been a fairly long-term liability off our hands.
When I first started out as a volunteer, I worked as the CS Press editor-in-chief. Working with authors, working with the publishers, working with the staff—it was the first time I really had a chance to work closely with the staff in both Los Alamitos and Washington, DC—that was very rewarding because you saw the tangible results by getting books published.
I couldn't recommend becoming an editor in chief more highly to anybody who wants to really see something get done as a volunteer. It's the hardest job but it's the most rewarding job we've got in the Society.
DP: Right. So either in your day job or in your volunteer work, is there one particularly interesting project you're undertaking right now?
DS: We're putting together a fairly extensive system, a rules-based system, where we're using a set of sensor data that's never been used before, to predict the optimized drilling parameters for some of these long-distance drilling wells.
When you start looking at energy exploration and production, software and software process is about where US manufacturing was in the 1970s. There are no standards, there's very little reuse of anything, and they are not taking advantage of what they can do with software and technology. That's one of the areas where we really focus as a company.
One of the more fun projects right now is being able to take the data that they've had for years and years and years and never used, go through the process of data mining and generating rules from it and saying, "look, if you can go out and change how you drill these parameters, you're going to be able to improve productivity."
Not only have we changed the science behind it, we've written a couple patents on it, and we've actually improved productivity by about 30 percent. Well, 30 percent on a 10-day well, if you can save three days on that well, you're going to be saving at least a million dollars, if not more. And this is very simple, straightforward software approach to fixing problems.
It really excites me to find new uses in these industries for some of the software that we worked on in research labs 20 or 30 years ago, where we can make a difference, making things safer and more productive.
DP: Other than learning how to jump out of airplanes, what advice could you give to a recent graduate who might want to pursue a career something like yours?
DS: The first thing I'd want to tell them is to get your bachelor's degree in engineering and go get a job. Don't go to graduate school until you've had three or four years, maybe five years of experience. Go out and understand what it takes to get some of this work done. And don't shy away from taking the difficult courses.
You really need to start sometime in the middle of your junior year and make sure you've done some internships—go do internships with companies you're interested in.
DP: In your field, what do you think the most startling advance or change will be in the next five to 10 years?
DS: Oh, the next real big changes are going to be in nanotechnology. We're going to see the smart, clustering nano objects, where you pump a whole bunch of microscopic glass bubbles, which have a certain amount of intelligence in them, into a system and they decide how things are going in the system. They report back and they may even be able to go in and fix things. That's where we're headed.
We think, "Oh heavens, that's absolute science fiction." Well, if you go back and read science fiction from the 1920s and 30s, they were talking about stuff we're doing today on a regular basis.
DP: Here in the US, what scientific or technological policies would you like to see the Obama Administration pursue?
DS: Two things: One, they've got to get healthcare for everybody. And you say, "Well, gee, you know, you're an engineer, why do you care about that?" Well, I care that the children who are going into school are healthy enough to be in school and their parents are healthy enough to take care of them. Because I want those kids to take advantage of the educational policies that the Administration needs to put in place, so that we get back to where we were in the late 1950s.
Second, we need to have another space program. There's got to be another Sputnik that pushes us out there. The children today who are in elementary school have got to get excited about going into science and engineering. We're going to see an enormous gap if we don't do that.
One of the strengths of our country is the ability to innovate. We've got the freedom to go out and try things, and we've also got the freedom to fail. But the only way we learn and are able to push through technology and really understand how to get new products out the door is by taking chances. Before we can take a chance, we've got to be smart enough to know what we need to take a chance on. So education's got to be one of the top priorities.

20 Flares
20 Flares
Chris McCaffity
March 17, 2013
I started looking into why America's fisheries are being so grossly mismanaged about three years ago. What I found shattered my blissful ignorance and view of capitalism. I found that most politicians, eco-charities and government bureaucracies are being manipulated or paid for by a handful of multi-national corporations. These corporate conspirators want to control all of our natural resources and our access to them. They want us to be workers producing their products and consumers who will enslave ourselves with debt. They don't want independent business owners or self-reliant citizens who do not need government, corporations, or activist shills to "help" them.
We must realize there is a very big difference between free-market capitalist principals and the corporate crony capitalism that plagues our society today. Powerful special interests play both sides of the political isle against one another as they consolidate their control over us. They understand most Republicans will blindly support corporate interests and most Democrats will blindly support environmental agendas. They know most politicians will do whatever it takes to secure big campaign donations. Corporate executives along with their political minions and eco-cohorts can make the masses believe what they are doing is good for them as well as our economy and environment.
Two solutions that could stop the crony capitalist power grab are to vote with our money and voice. The only thing that trumps money in politics is enough people peacefully supporting or opposing an issue. The bigger the issue the more people it takes. We could turn this country around in a few weeks if everyone who invests in the stock market sold their shares in corporations that are not friends of freedom and bought stock in honorable businesses. We could also turn around local economies just as quickly if we stopped shopping at corporate chains full of imports and started shopping exclusively at locally owned businesses for products made as close to home as possible. Will you do your part or nothing at all as evil triumphs?
About the Author: Chris McCaffity is a commercial fisherman from North Carolina. He created the website, FreeFish7, to explain how our fisheries are being mismanaged and to present positive solutions as well as simple ways people can help. Chris believes we should all have a common goal of healthy fisheries that can be responsibly harvested forever with very little waste.
Chris quickly found out his voice meant very little to most members of Congress, so he asked the environmental charities to help him stop the waste and abuse of our resources. Most of them refused to work with Chris on anything. Many of the charities appeared to have other agendas the waste helped to advance. Some wanted catch shares. Some wanted area closures. Some just wanted to end commercial fishing.
Since most of the environmentalists, politicians, and fishery managers would not help, Chris decided to organize his fellow citizens to help defend our freedom to fish and eat American seafood. The only thing that trumps money in politics is enough people supporting or opposing an issue. He asked people to support his public comments with emails and phone calls. Chris created a 10,000+ postcard campaign, addressed to various public servants who are relevant to different fishery issues. The campaign has had positive results.

SKYCIG, A Leading UK Electronic Cigarette Brand, Announces Acquisition By Lorillard
LONDON, October 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Acquisition is expected to significantly further SKYCIG e-cigarette innovation and availability on the UK market
SKYCIG, a leading premium electronic cigarette brand, today announces its acquisition by Lorillard, Inc., the third largest manufacturer of cigarettes in the United States and owner of the best- selling e-cigarette brand in the U.S. , blu eCigs. This venture is expected to support the growth of the SKYCIG brand and further improve its status as an innovation leader in the UK e-cigarette market.
SKYCIG, a brand which maintains a high level of control over its supply chain and product development, will become the second e-cigarette brand owned by Lorillard following its acquisition of the USA-based blu eCigs last year. The acquisition of SKYCIG provides Lorillard with a significant European presence in the e-cigarette market, which, alongside its USA presence, positions it as a leading worldwide e-cigarette company."We are very excited about this development and what it means for both the SKYCIG brand and for our loyal customers," says Tom Rolfe, Co-Founder of SKYCIG. "We chose to move forward with Lorillard for the exceptional resources and expertise which the company can provide to enable SKYCIG to further both our product innovation and availability. This acquisition will allow us to continue to progress as both the best and the most widely available e-cigarette brand in the UK." It has been agreed that SKYCIG will function independently as a separate brand under Lorillard's ownership, with current operations continuing as normal for staff, retailers and customers. SKYCIG's current premises in Great Britain will be retained, and further investment in the UK e-cigarette market is expected as the SKYCIG brand continues to grow. FF&P Advisory advised SKYCIG on the transaction with Mark Winkler as Lead Adviser. About SKYCIG

Illinois law enforcement and transportation officials today stressed safety by urging motorists to prepare for unfavorable winter driving conditions. Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), Illinois Tollway crews and Illinois State Police (ISP) have partnered to implement the state's frontline winter crews and to ensure emergency equipment is ready for the upcoming snow and ice season.
"IDOT has continuously and effectively implemented a proactive approach to safely remove ice and snow during winter months," said Illinois Transportation Secretary Gary Hannig. "Motorists should plan ahead and provide sufficient time to reach their destination, slow down, buckle-up and eliminate all potential distractions in their vehicle before driving. Safety is the number one priority at IDOT and it is never compromised." During the 2010-2011 winter season, more than 3,900 employees and 1,900 pieces of equipment will be available for deployment as needed by IDOT to keep state routes clear and passable. Last year, the agency spent $79.6 million on snow removal, spreading 536,600 tons of salt and logging 811,000 labor hours. For years, ISP, Tollway and IDOT have worked together to urge motorists to drive defensively in winter weather.
"During the winter months, motorists can help protect those who work to keep our roads safe, by yielding to emergency vehicles. The Move Over law requires drivers to change lanes, or reduce speed and proceed with caution when approaching stationary emergency vehicles displaying flashing warning lights," said Illinois State Police Acting Director Jonathon Monken. "Reducing speed, avoiding distractions, and practicing safe driving habits are crucial in the winter months. There is simply less room for error during inclement weather."
On the Illinois Tollway, more than 400 employees are ready with 196 plow trucks and other equipment prepared to combat snow and ice storms this winter across the 286-mile Tollway System. The Tollway has about 80,000 tons of salt on hand along with other supplies, including liquid calcium chloride and angular crushed stone. Stockpiled salt supplies are well in excess of the average 69,000 tons typically used during a single winter season.
"With the majority of roadway improvement projects now complete across the Illinois Tollway system, drivers will find congestion relief and fewer potholes this winter," said Illinois Tollway Executive Director Kristi Lafleur. "But we still encourage drivers to be prepared for winter conditions, use caution and watch out for snow plows and other crews working to clear the way."

After seasons of 74 and 130 points, Pierre Rioux returned to Shawinigan for his third season of junior hockey where he was a QMJHL First Team All-Star and a member of Canada's gold medal winning team at the 1982 World Junior Championships.
In the summer of 1982, the Calgary Flames signed Pierre Rioux as a free agent. Although he spent the majority of the 1982-83 season with the Colorado Flames of the Central Hockey League, Rioux played well enough to earn a call up to Calgary, playing in 14 games with the Flames.
Rioux was a CHL Second Team All-Star in 1984 after an 83-point season in Colorado with the Flames. The 1984-85 season saw Rioux join the Moncton Golden Flames of the American Hockey League, where he led his team in scoring and was AHL First Team All-Star.
After only eleven games into the 1985-86 AHL season split between Moncton and the Binghamton Whalers, Pierre Rioux headed to Switzerland before ending up in Germany for the 1987-88 season where he finished the season with 145 points.
Pierre Rioux found himself in Finland in 1986-87, before he decided to return to Germany for the next 12 years. Rioux played for seven teams while in Germany, before returning to North America in 2000-01 to play for the St.-Georges-de-Beauce Garaga in the Quebec Semi-Pro Hockey League.
In 14 career NHL games, Pierre Rioux accounted for one goal and two assists for three career points.

BBT: How Does It Change Throughout a Cycle?
Please explain basal body temperature changes as they relate to menstruation, ovulation and conception?Question:
A "normal" basal body temperature (BBT) chart is "biphasic," meaning there are two temperature phases. The early temperatures before ovulation are lower than temperatures during the next half of the cycle, following ovulation.
The average BBT is 97.48F plus or minus 0.25 (36.37 ± 0.12C) during the phase prior to ovulation (follicular phase) and 98.09F plus or minus 0.22 (36.72 ± 0.12C) in the phase following ovulation (luteal phase). If conception occurs, the temperature stays at the elevated level and never goes down.
A shift in BBT, following ovulation, to the "hyperthermia phase" of the cycle should occur within a period of 48 hours or less. If you are charting your temperatures, you will typically see that three consecutive daily BBTs are at least 0.36 degrees F (0.2 Celsius) higher than the previous six daily temperatures.
This BBT rise precedes or coincides with ovulation and is associated with the increased production of progesterone by the ovary. Your BBT chart does not predict the day of ovulation, but rather provides evidence of ovulation two or three days after it has occurred. This can be helpful in predicting ovulation once several months have been charted and you are able to see a pattern.
A biphasic BBT usually indicates that ovulation has taken place, although a monophasic (no change in temperature throughout cycle) BBT may be observed in some ovulatory cycles.Answer:

The Bible refers to he (or) it, as the False (religious) Prophet. Students of prophecy from the past, such as the Reformation saints and martyrs, and many present day expositors indicate that the biblical description refers to the Church Of Rome and it's pope or papacy throughout the ages.WHO OR WHAT IS THE SECOND BEAST OF REV 13?
I agree … I believe the Vatican hierarchy (Bishops and Cardinals etc) AND its papacy is the entity described as being the False Prophet.
Dictionary, the word "vatic" means … prophet.
If we use our Bibles only, and not our presuppositions, can we determine whether the False Prophet is a "he" … or an … "it"?VATIC = VATICAN = PROPHET = FALSE PROPHET
The following versions render the False Prophet as … "he".
Amplified Version
KJV and NKJ Version
Mounce Reverse Interlinear
New American Standard
The following versions render the False Prophet as … "it".
New International Version
American Standard
Common English Bible
Darby Translation
English Standard Version
J.B. Phillips New Testament
Young's Literal Translation
Wycliffe Bible
My Greek/English Interlinear renders "it" also.
Well, I believe both are correct. If the False Prophet is the decision making Vatican hierarchy with its bishops and cardinals, than "it" is appropriate.
If the False Prophet is a pope, than "he" is a logical term to use.
Revelation has been a 30 year study of interest for me. I will submit a post describing how THEY cause "fire" to come down from heaven on the earth … in the sight of men. Rev 13:13.
