Beaglebone + Ubuntu
We can install Ubuntu 2-ways.
- To the external SDCARD
- To the internal MMC
Installing to the internal MMC requires an SDCARD to install, but the sdcard is not required after that. The process is mostly the same. The MMC setup vs. the SDCARD setup depends on which image you download.
Installing Ubuntu
MMC: Download the latest file of the form BBB-eMMC-flasher-ubuntu-xx.xx-xxxx-xx-xx.img.xz
SDCARD: Download the latest file of the form ubuntu-12.10-console-armhf-xxxx-xx-xx.tar.xz
Extract the image
sudo apt-get install xz
xz -d *.img.xz
Insert the sdcard into your desktop and note the device path. In my case the device is at /dev/sdc.

Flash the image to the sdcard. Substitute <mmc_or_sdcard>.img and /dev/sdX accordingly.
sudo dd if=<mmc_or_sdcard>.img of=/dev/sdX bs=1M
Upon completion remove the sdcard and perform the following:
- Ensure the beaglebone is off
- If you plan on powering the beaglebone with usb, ensure the ethernet is unplugged.
- Insert the sdcard into the beaglebone
- Hold down the button that is by itself near the SDCARD
- Insert the USB power or barrel jack power
- Once the lights begin blinking blue you may release the button
- Wait =~ 45 minutes until all the lights are blue
Once all the lights turn solid blue the MMC is successfully flashed and you may power down your beaglebone (unplug the power), remove the sdcard. Wait a couple seconds, then plug the power back in and the system will boot Ubuntu.
Verifying Ubuntu Install
Find the ip of your beaglebone on your network.

Raspberry Pi + MSP430 + SPI
This tutorial will explain how to communicate from the Raspberry Pi to an MSP430 Launchpad board (M430G2553 chip) using SPI.
- 1 Raspberry pi (running Raspbian)
- 1 MSP430 TI Launchpad
- 3 wires
Your raspberry pi should be running the newest version of Raspbian. To ensure your system is up-to-date please download and run rpi-update.
Flash the below code to your MSP430 chip. Please see this tutorial for information on compiling and programming your MSP430.
MSP430 Code
Raspberry Pi
With your updated rasbian system you should have the drivers that you need. Now it's time to load them.
modprobe spi_bcm2708
modprobe spidev
Check to be sure the modules loaded:

Arduino Poor Man's Oscilloscope
This tutorial will show you how to use your Arduino as an oscilloscope. We end the tutorial with a verification portion that uses the Arduino to generate a square wave, requiring a single wire.
Lxardoscope is another Arduino + real-time graphing project that has the potential to turn an Arduino into an oscilloscope. Unfortunately, I was unable to get any readings (the visual graph remained static).
Poor Man's Oscilloscope
First, download processing.
gzip -d processing-1.5.1-linux.tgz
tar -xf processing-1.5.1-linux.tar
Desktop Application
Arduino uses a modified RXTXcomm.jar library. This causes a problem when the processing project runs poor man's oscilloscope and loads the RXTXcomm.jar library bundles with the processing project. Instead, we wish for process to load the modified Arduino RXTXcomm.jar library. To remedy this problem we simply replace processing RXTXcomm.jar with the Android specific RXTXcomm.jar.
rm processing-1.5.1/modes/java/libraries/serial/library/linux64/librxtxSerial.so
rm processing-1.5.1/modes/java/libraries/serial/library/RXTXcomm.jar
ln -s /usr/share/arduino/lib/RXTXcomm.jar processing-1.5.1/modes/java/libraries/serial/library/
Run processing
cd processing-1.5.1
Running the processing command should result in a GUI application launching that looks a lot like the Arduino idea. Download and open the below code in processing and click play.
Arduino Code
Arduinoscope has a simple arduino component to poll and forward analog 0 to the desktop via the serial connection. Save the below code and flash it to your Arduino.
Verifying the Oscilloscope
To test the oscilloscope we will generate data using the Arduino and feed it in to the analog A0 port to be viewed on our Desktop. Flash the code below to your Arduino.
Connect pin digital pin 13 on the Arduino to analog pin A0. The above code will turn on and off the digital pin to produce a square wave.
- You can alter the baud rate from 9600 to 115200 in the arduino code as well as the processing code.
- Plus sign zooms in (shift and =) while – zooms out (just -, no shift)
- PWM at a normal 50 HZ is easily observable
- Raspberry Pi pin 18 can generate PWM and the arduino can be used to test it.
- An idle capture looks like:
MSP430 Launchpad + PWM
Inspired by this tutorial.
The following tutorial will describe how perform pulse width modulation using a MSP430g2553 TI Launchpad to control a sparkfun servo motor.
Please see Cross-Compiling for TI MSP430 Launchpad to setup your development environment.
- Servo motor
- Power
I'm using the Arduino to power the servo motors. Alternatively you may use USB, a wall plug, or a battery. The MSP430 is being used to generate the PWM for control.
Connect your servo control wire to MSP430 pin P1.2.
Save the below code as pwm.c
Compile install and run the code!
sudo mspdebug rf2500
prog pwm.elf
If your lucky then your device will have moved a bit and you might notice that the device didn't reach its full range of motion. You will need to play with the SERVO_MIN and SERVO_MAX constants to achieve the devices full range of motion.
This section contains hints and debug strategies if things didn't just magically work for you.
Header File
The biggest trouble I had was getting the correct header file. An incorrect header file did not produce any warnings. The only feedback for a header file that didn't match my board was the device moving less than 1 degree and behaving non-deterministic. Look at the documentation that came with your board to find the exact device. A list of device headers can be found in the directory /usr/msp430/include/.
The mspdebug program hosts a suite of commands. A list of commands can be gotten by typing help. The erase command is one that I found late into the night. Be sure to issue the erase command before you issue the load command.
Is it broke?
Often times when things aren't working you will wonder if you broke the board because you touched some pin, got pissed off and threw it across the room, or your kitty cat Mr. Bigglesworth played kitty frisbee with it. Regardless of the reason you want some feedback that the board is still alive. I like to reload a piece of code that blinks the development board built-in lights LED blinking tutorial.

Breakfast Topic: WoW-related merchandise and spin-offs
My brother-in-law gave my wife and I the World of Warcraft board game a couple of years back, and I got more than a few packs of the Trading Card Game (although I was probably just hoping for some cool loot). I love the comic books -- both the ones from Wildstorm and the ones from Tokyopop -- and I enjoy a lot of the Warcraft-based comics online. I gobble up pretty much most anything World of Warcraft.
So here's something to chew on this morning: what World of Warcraft merchandise or spin-offs do you like so far? There's the Frostmourne replica, of course. And we've given away cool stuff from Manaprincess, too. The Bronze Kettle / WoW Insider's Shelbi Roach makes those awesome, awesome, awesome chibi items like stickers and keychains. What World of Warcraft-related stuff do you have? Do you make any of your own?

Fan of Jungle Love?
Hold on to your loincloths, boys and girls—another adaptation of Tarzan (yes … in addition to the 88 that already exist) will be swinging into theaters in 2010! Critics say co-writer and director Stephen Sommers will be focusing on jungle love, but this classic story is sure to have scenes of a boy raised by great apes in the jungle. So, when Anjelica Huston (who has been speaking up for animals abused in the film industry since she was a kid) heard about the film, she contacted Sommers. Anjelica writes:
"Ever since I heard my father complain about animal trainers on the set of his epic The Bible, I've worried about what happens to animal 'actors' behind the scenes.
. . .
Critics lauded King Kong … for the emotional depth that the giant ape displayed—without any real apes suffering in the process. Can I please hear that you similarly plan to use only creative alternatives to great apes in Tarzan?"
Luckily, Sommers has a history of using flashy special effects and CGI in his blockbuster films, which have included Van Helsing and The Mummy. Hopefully, he'll continue to do what he does best and leave great apes in the jungle where they belong. Oh, and Sommers, if Anjelica's lovely letter doesn't convince you, here's a promise: Leave out the live apes and I'll be your personal Jane.
P.S. If you haven't seen it yet, check out Anjelica's behind-the-scenes exposé about great apes forced into the entertainment industry here.

By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
November 21st, 2013 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) In Sao Paulo, Brazil, a woman got the shock of her life when visiting her family's tomb. She witnessed a man clawing his way out of a grave. LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Earlier this month, it was reported that a woman in Sao Paulo, Brazil saw something that would frighten virtually all of us. While visiting her family tomb, the unidentified woman said a man emerged from the dirt, clawing his way out of a grave.Was it the starts of the Resurrection? Zombie apocalypse? Authorities quickly arrived and finished digging the man out of the dirt. Although he managed to get his head and arms out of the grave, the rest of his body remained buried. Authorities rushed the man to a nearby hospital where it was learned he wasn't supposed to be buried at all. The man, also unidentified, was an apparent victim of some violence in the crime-ridden city and had been badly beaten, then buried in a shallow grave while unconscious. Although modern medicine has virtually eliminated the danger of being buried alive, the possibility still exists for some unlucky individuals. This week, it was reported that one child in China was due to be cremated when he awoke, crying. According to Chinese authorities, a baby boy, less than a month old, who had serious deformities and respiratory problems, was already at the funeral home, ready for cremation, when workers heard him crying. The doctor who declared him dead had his license revoked for negligence. The boy remains hospitalized. A birth foretold: click here to learn more!

In reality, the study confirms what we already know; that excessive agricultural residue removal is bad for the soil and has negative impacts on climate. The article says little about real world stover-to-ethanol fuel because it uses corn stover removal rates far exceeding those used in the field. The analysis also models a one-size-fits-all approach to managing soil carbon that, by definition, ignores how farmers manage their land.
Biofuels from corn waste are worse than gasoline, study finds
— By Kirsten Korosec on April 21, 2014, 10:11 PM PST

Did anyone read the article all the way through, and see everything that it really said? When you pare away the verbiage, what those "studies" really claimed was that if *all* corn-waste were used for making fuel-grade ethanol by *one* system, instead of being composted, there would be less CO2 taken out of the atmosphere *in the short term* than using gasoline. Rrrrright.
First, as the ethanol-farmers pointed out, it's impossible to take *all* corn-waste from the soil. Second, there are at least *four* different methods for processing plant-waste/cellulose into alcohol, and the simplest and cheapest of them (the three-yeast solar distillation method) happily absorbs CO2 as it produces fuel-ethanol, takes no energy but sunlight, and it produces good livestock feed besides. This is *not* the method that the "studies" studied.
Third, (gasp!) CO2 is *not* the big, bad, bugbear of Global Warming/Climate Change that the professional alarmists claim. If you'll recall your junior high-school science class, animals inhale Oxygen and exhale CO2, while plants -- all plants -- inhale CO2 and exhale Oxygen. Therefore, if there's an excess of CO2 in the atmosphere, the solution is to *plant more plants* -- particularly trees, which are large and long-lived. In fact, according to the National Academy of Science, the US is a CO2 *sink* because of our extensive forests.
This means that growing more crops to make cellulosic fuel-ethanol would certainly "reduce our carbon footprint" in the *long* run.
This is my last post for awhile as spring is finally coming to the Rockies and I need to get back to getting my Alfa Romeo ready to drive.
This whole argument has been going on for years and boils down to the impacts of releasing carbon sequestered in the soil. Many groups feel it's an important effect, but the advanced biofuels folks position is the science is weak and shouldn't be considered.
Prior to this report, the bulk of studies indicated the carbon debt from plowing new land would take about 7 years to payoff at the tailpipe, ethanol having lower carbon emissions than gasoline.
The key difference in this study is
"The researchers determined that the rate of emissions is constant regardless of whether a small amount of corn residue is removed or all of it is stripped, according to the university."
Pun intended, this study is plowing new ground.
As these studies go to the very heart of the justification for biofuels one can easily understand the strong opposing view points.
Cellulosic Ethanol depends on designing new enzymes to turn fibrous plant material into feedstocks that can be fermented. Essentially this is trying to undo millions of years of evolution or, depending on your religious perspective, 2000 years of history.
These enzymes are feedstock specific, and here's where the trouble starts. The digestive facilities and the ethanol production facilities are quite large and to be profitable (none thus far) require huge quantities of feed stock. In my neck of the woods this meant introducing non-native switch grass (please read about introducing Kudzu in the US) or clear cutting our Aspen forests as they are trees that mimic grasses. Neither seems acceptable.
Within the OECD countries rail transit is already maximized so transport of feedstock must be by truck. To have any, even a vanishingly small, impact on gasoline usage the amount of truck traffic would be huge. To make a real impact on our transportation fuels imagine a line of trucks, staged grill to tailgate. The line would go from the earth to the moon and back again. This is the logistical challenge we face if biofuels are to replace fossil fuels. And this is exactly what biofuels supporters don't want to discuss. We could get even further into the weeds discussing EU policies that end up supporting rain forest destruction to increase production of palm oil, but let's stop here, for now.
I don't disagree we need to reduce the carbon intensity of liquid fuels. I just don't think this is the path.
The "fact" that burning ethanol produces far more carcinogens, notably formaldehyde (the same stuff used to embalm corpses), has been known for DECADES, yet the self induced intellectually retarded left wing liberal Democrats and their soul-mates the environuts, insist, INSIST, on poisoning Americans.
A few years back I sat in the WDC offices of the Pew Foundation, we were meeting with their climate change group to discuss ethanol.
Our side had hard evidence that was irrefutable. Besides ethanol not reducing climate forcing gases, it was a huge waste of water with nearly 700 gallons of water used for irrigation and production of each gallon of ethanol. Additionally the runoff of fertilizers from enhanced corn production was primarily responsible for the greatly expanding Dead Zone where the mouth of the Mississippi meets the Gulf.
The Pew group listened politely and agreed with our points but wouldn't change their support for the Renewable Fuels Standard. They wouldn't step outside the core policies of other NGOs. Basically anything that is against oil and gas is ok regardless of consequences.
Eventually the environmental evidence against the RFS became so pervasive it has become impossible to ignore, so now ethanol support is mainly based on energy security and even that is a weak argument.
Years ago it was clear that the EPA had greatly overestimated the role cellulosic ethanol would play in meeting the RFS. They compensated by allowing an over production of traditional corn ethanol. Eventually we reached the blend limit and the EPA responded by allowing 15% ethanol, which can easily damage existing engines. Thus far the EPA has refused to back off their misguided policy.
I don't believe these were unintended consequences. The anti-fossil fuel feeling runs so strong, they just don't care.
Unfortunately, many of the politically appointed positions within the DOE and the EPA have been filled by members from NGO groups with little knowledge or experience but with agendas like we saw at Pew.
The EPA can't accept the results of the study. The study's results don't jive with the agenda of the EPA, which is to demonize and replace petro-fuels as the preferred and more cost-efficient energy source. The EPA forgot to put liberal environmentalists in charge of the study, and that's why the methods and results have to be invalidated by the EPA. To the EPA, the models for study have to be created with the pre-determined end-results from the EPA in mind. That study failed to abide by the EPA's expectations.
I don't know about corn, but in Brazil they had been using sugar cane to make Ethanol with an incredible success to the point of becoming the first producers in the world of such product and I think it's their most profitable industry.
Again, another skewed piece of journalism - as basically it says stripping fields bare of non-food waste is bad for the environment - well, that's no shit Sherlock moment, and the reason much waste is generally left to re-fertilise the soil - whether ploughed back in or not, ro stable/farmyard/chicken manure added back to gardens, allotments or other production.
The counter argument correcting the case is not really reflected in the alarmist headline - that they already know this, and in production they only use some of it. Other related area's for this are not even mentioned, as attempting to re-use brewers mash from fermentation is another use, as is other organic waste products when a food is processed - husks from nuts/seeds etc with otherwise will be dumped or composted.
No real attempt is made to elaborate on or give context to the rather meanlingless statement/measure this is put up against
"can generate more greenhouse gases than gasoline over the short term" - exactly what does this mean - just burning gasoline, that has come from an oil refinery ? Please tell us, as you are using it to bash the bio-ethanol from waste research.
I'm sure you will find sea-bed trawling is bad for the sea too, or complete slash and burn of the rainforest - both in a strip it bare manner.
A reader has to go to the original paper to get the basic piece of information that this is a balance of SOIL CARBON and atmospheric CO2. Pretty poor writing.
I know this study infuriates the eco-left but it illustrates the well known and important principle of the "law of unintended consequences". Skepticism is a fundamental precept of science and far lefties eschew science. Instead they embrace "feelings", pseudoscience, and near religious transcendence of nearly anything which supports their cause. Alternative energy sources must be evaluated with rigorous studies which take into account the true costs of production and implementation. Because a source "feels green" or is labeled "renewable" doesn't necessarily imply that it really is "green" or is in fact a better alternative. Put that in your Al Gore, Colorado pipe and smoke it.
Not only that, but food costs are affected-big time! Somehow, they had the cart before the horse on this one! Big Agro make their bucks on this one; the world suffers because of them!
@Leslie Fish Interesting that my initial reply never showed up, except when I'm logged in. Maybe URLs aren't allowed? So:
I don't know what your angle is, but part of the problem is that fossil CO2 emissions far exceed uptake by the terrestrial biosphere 'and' the oceans. Despite the partial truth that the U.S. is a net sink (presumably looking at 'natural' carbon fluxes, & excluding off-shored manufacturing), I've yet to see a study suggesting the rapid buildup (no "if" about it) could be solved just by planting trees where they're likely to live long & prosper.
Also, if there is a scalable method of 'economically' producing cellulosic ethanol that is substantially lower net carbon than gasoline, we should be approaching commercial viability soon. I guess we'll see what happens over the next few years, but I'm not holding my breath considering how much premature hype we've seen over the past decade.
Enjoy your Alfa - Was this a heart over head slip ?
Release of Carbon sequestered in soil from bio-ethanol production from crop waste, will be a total drop in the ocean, compared to the release of methane from the permafrost around the globe, largely down to climate change.
I suppose it depends on how it is burned, as modern ultra high compression turbo-ICE's, with catalysts and (for diesel) particulate filters are orders of magnitude better than they were even a few decades ago, with low emissions, better emissions and great fuel economy.
There is the alternative of Direct Ethanol Fuel Cell's too
@JamesDrouin Well the Americans chose the lifestyle to poison themselves. Getting into the car to go to the corner store for a pack of cigarettes ! A little or even a longer walk never hurt anyone. A couple of years back I visited my daughter in NJ. I was in the habit of taking an hour long brisk walk every morning. The weather too was conducive to this exercise. The problem was that there were no side walks in the area. As a matter of fact not within half mile of distance. I would either have to walk on the road with a chance of being knocked down by a speeding car or walk on private lawns with a chance of being chased by a dog!
What is required is how to curb and actually reduce the world population and even more importantly how to reduce every kind of bio/fossil fuel consumption and not "to find substitute".
Several centuries ago, it was accepted that the world was flat too.
I think adornoe still believes this, with his Tea Party neo-creationism agenda.
When Greenpeace, and other eco lobby groups, stop being tree-huggers, and start hugging nuclear power stations, the world will become a better place. I would suggest within the next 50 years, by the time the global population reached 12 billion, and it is realized solar and wind can't even make 50% of energy from 2014, never mind 2064 with it's burgeoning world population, and multiple endemic resource (energy, food, commodities, water) crisis combined with some additional impacts of climate change, and globalization.
@EVdeath I wonder how much of Pew's funding comes from the agribusiness sector. The eco-left has been chanting the "everything we hate is funded by big oil" mantra for so long, that they can't consider the reality that their side has become funded equally as well.
Reality is in the middle, as ever. Stop your black and white nonsense.
With your skewed view on reality, stripping fields of straw/hay/silage-grass for bedding and feed must be CO2 generative too, compared to other methods of animal welfare.
Please read about the relationship between Brazil's success in sugar to ethanol and their massive rainforest destruction.
@dmm99 The joule (J) is the modern measure for energy. It's superseded the calorie (aka gram calorie) and the Calorie (aka kilogram calorie or 1000 calories) though in chemistry and on food packages you'll still find the Calorie/calorie in use. And, mega- of course refers to a million so a megajoule is a million joules.
PS 4.2 J = one calorie = the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by approximately one degree Celsius.
@ajrmd The eco-left likes to blame very roadblock to their ill-conceived dreams as the fault of economically motivated "big oil". And yet few ecological and economic boondoggles better illustrate the corruption of government policy than our nation's ethanol agenda. It only continues to survive because of the unholy alliance between coastal liberal eco-elites, conservative mid-west corn growers, and the feelback look of subsidized interest in between.
This is using the stalks, not the seed that we eat. This specific version of corn ethanol would not appreciably affect food prices if the seed is used for human or animal consumption.
@Neil Postlethwaite @EVdeath Actually, the biggest source of methane today is wetlands, which the US has been legislating the restoration of for decades now. If warming is the threat we're told it is, then we should be draining the swamps; not restoring them.
Heart over head many years back and many times. An addiction
Agree on permafrost from today and ocean acidification from yesterday.
Yes you are correct to follow the money. Here's the flow
(1) Hewlett Foundation > Energy Foundation > Pew. Pew is policy and many of their staffers go into policy positions at DOE, EPA and WH. Very anti oil and gas.
(2) Archer Daniel Midlands (ADM) direct support to congressional candidates. Lots of money here supplied to both parties.
(3) Venture Capital still influential to protect misplaced cellulosic investments.
Both 1 and 3 are also influential in California.
@Neil Postlethwaite @adornoe Oh, grow a brain already; or did God forget to give you an adequate one for a human.
Reality is what is known on the ground. Reality is not what the EPA pushes on the American people. The EPA pushes an agenda which is anti-fossil-fuels, plain and simple, and clear as "black and white".
And, who the heck was talking about animal welfare? I'm strictly talking about the EPA agenda and how they didn't like the results of a study which didn't jive with their preferred results and their biased agenda.
I could care less where energy or its source comes from. But, I do care that agendas not be the main decision-makers for which sources are supported.
And, yes, things can be as simple as "black or white". The nuances are generated by those who are simply looking to cover their asses, or who are afraid to speak their minds. I'm not afraid to speak my mind, and I will tell it like it is. You, on the other hand, are having a very hard time deciding in which direction to go, and you are in dire need of somebody to hold your hand.
If you've got time on your hands start researching the California Air Resources Board study on ethanol in support of their low carbon fuel regulations. The arguments both pro and con on total life cycle emissions are immense, and they reach into the EPA, DOE and White House.
For years the EPA has had in house one of the very best LCA teams in existence. Unfortunately for 8 years under Bush and now for 6 years under Obama their results have either been crushed or shaped by the political appointees.
Career researchers there generally support the soil carbon argument, somewhat in line with @adornoe's position. The "official" EPA position is generally in line with White House office of Environmental Policy, more politically shaped.
By the way from yesterday's discussion, I live in rural Northern Colorado and out of necessity drive a pickup. Not all pickup drivers are rednecks and not all rednecks drive a pickup. Besides like @adornoe, I generally like the ranchers out here, people who would typically be cast as rednecks.
@colinnwn The drawback to many of the bioethanol projects is that they're planting corn for the express purpose of producing bioethanol and gaining access to subsidies.
I suspect that the knee jerk Republicans on here haven't read the study (nor have I) and would not be prepared to admit to that there's a shade of grey here, but, my gut says that the criticism from the bioethanol producers about the assumptions in the study are probably valid.
Anyway, I have neither the time nor inclination to dig deep on this story. Enjoy.
@JohnMcGrew @Neil Postlethwaite@EVdeath The other post on which my reply never went public. So:
That's an interesting comment, because I was under the impression that it
would take a massive surge to overwhelm the methane budget enough to
make it's radiative forcing equal to or greater than fossil CO2. Methane
is per-molecule a more powerful GHG in the shorter term, but both
methane emissions and concentrations are substantially lower than for CO2, and hence it's effect remains secondary, at least as long as catastrophic methane feedbacks aren't in the cards.
@Neil Postlethwaite @JohnMcGrew @EVdeath They are great carbon sinks. Unfortunately, methane is a far more potent greenhouse gas than CO2 is, by about 21 times. The warm-mongers selected CO2 as enemy #1 because it encompasses all of human activity, whereas the politics of attacking methane only makes the radical vegans happy.
I have nothing against wetlands. What I have been against is the over-the-top fascism that the EPA and various state agencies have taken against landowners here in the name of "restoring wetlands" over the last several decades. If a cow pees in a field, that's often enough to instigate a state agency to effectively seize private property.
So you have to understand why I find the idea that if "global warming" is to be taken seriously, then the wetland restoration efforts that we have been undertaking have been a major mistake.
@JohnMcGrew @Neil Postlethwaite@EVdeath
Wetlands/bogs are also great carbon sinks too, in some cases better than forests, and can have benefits in flood prevention/mitigation.
100% agree. I was understating for dramatic purposes. Penn State continues to be compromised. That Penn State Athletic department didn't get the death penalty is a giant blot on the integrity of the NCAA.
@EVdeath Actually, it's worse than that. Penn State wasn't "distracted". Penn State was ethically compromised. Mann was cleared by the very same people who cleared Paterno and his staff. If they were willing to overlook a coach poking little boys in the shower just to save their highly prestigious and profitable football program, it's hardly a stretch to suspect that they'd also be willing to overlook the behavior of Mann to save their highly prestigious and profitable star climatologist.
Great point, I've always felt Mann was seriously compromised. Unfortunately, while the Mann investigation proceeded, Penn State was otherwise distracted by adventures within its athletic department. Mann got a get out of jail free card.
@EVdeath And let's not forget the feedback loop between the government and the academic community. This is my favorite example:
"This level of success in proposing research, and obtaining funding to conduct it, clearly places Dr. Mann among the most respected scientists in his field. Such success would not have been possible had he not met or exceeded the highest standards of his profession for proposing research."
From the Penn State report exonerating its star "climate change" researcher, Micheal Mann for his involvement in the "climategate" scandal.
Success, as defined by Penn State was not by doing high quality research, but for "obtaining funding" for telling his paymasters what they wanted to hear.
So to hear a report coming from a government entity that fails to toe the line is refreshing.
You seem blissfully unaware of how science and statistics works with repeatability, evidence, testing theories to death, quality evidence thresholds and how to design and carry out research, and produce credible conclusions.
YOu back the most unscientific pieces of research, and you have the gall to call others "unscientific". Global warming research is junk science, and you are a proponent of junk science, so, it's you that has no idea what true science is about.
'Reality is a lot more than just what is observed, and is not subject to bias, and is based on clear evidence of what's all around you. Consensus is for losers, and for those who want to justify their inability to take reality and pure science as fact. ' -
LOL, you are beyond all hope.
So, you think that by laughing off my comments that, you'll somehow discredit what I said? Fact is that, you can't dispute anything I did write. So, what part of that statement above do you think you can dispute? Using "LOL" is not a rebuttal; it's the type of rebuttal that a 5 year old would use.
Please continue eating your own Creationist Climate Change Denial Dogma Food,
Geez! Sounds like you're desperate to find something to say in response, but, that stuff above makes no sense whatsoever. "Creationist climate change denial"? How do all of those words belong together? Climate change cannot be denied, because it happens on a daily basis, and long-term climate change has been documented to have occurred on the planet since it was "created". Heck, climate change occurs throughout the solar system and even throughout the universe. It's natural, and man can't control it; we can contribute to it, because, we are part of nature. But, we won't be able to change the planet's forces, nor the sun's forces, nor the universal forces, which all go towards creating the climate, and the changes that have occurred since the Earth was formed.
I opt to believe that an "intelligent designer" created or shaped all that we see and feel and hear and touch and taste. YOu prefer to believe that dumb accidents shaped everything that "exists".
as it's pretty amusing.
Yep! Low forms of life are easily amused.
Just a shame there are so many other Fox News viewers open to your dumb rhetoric.
Yet, studies have shown that, FOX news viewers are better informed than those who read and view the liberal news outlets, and FOX viewers are also more educated, and FOX news viewers are also more mature, while the liberal press depends upon taking the still ignorant and naive and easily led "young, dumb and naive" audience. Liberals do understand that, it's easier to bend somebody that is still young and clueless, than someone who is knowledgeable and experienced and mature and wise". You sound like the ideal candidate for the liberal and progressive press.

Things can be black and white,
IN real life, there are many things that can be decided with simple yes and no answers. No need to over-complicate things when not warranted.
but are not often that clear cut - esp. with complex interdependent systems covering natural resources, environment, industry, weather, power generation, chemical engineering processes - that this discussion overlaps on so many of these systems.
You are using the same arguments that the "nuanced crowd" like to use in order to justify and rationalize their ideas and arguments and regulations. Yet, most of those arguments and ideas are the same exact things that have created so many problems for the U.S. and a lot of other countries. The EPA and other government agencies would love you. You are exactly what keeps them in existence and making life harder for people.
If you are are so closed-minded to that idea,
You actually do need for everything to be in clear black and white answers. I've already explained, very clearly, where I'm coming from and in more detail than you are capable of understanding.
What I'm against, is the over-regulations that hamper economies and everyday life for people. Many of most of the mandates from government are overkill and very unnecessary, and mostly based on political and environmental wacko agendas.
even statistical, sample variation, bias, simple errors in measurement and analysis etc turn the blackest of blacks a shade of grey - please seek out Ben Goldacre's "Bad Science" for a gentle introduction to science and statistics, charlatans, willful liars esp politicians - it's a great read, you would love it.
Well, dude, you just made my case, where every point you made in that last series of clauses, applies exactly to what the EPA and liberals and environmental wackos are about. Shabby science and shabby research, all based on agendas, and not really intended for the greater good of the people.
"Reality is what is on the ground" - oh dear, this is largely subjective, observational evidence - please treat with caution. I go for the Objective, repeatable, consensus ones every time.
I prefer reality every time. Reality is a lot more than just what is observed, and is not subject to bias, and is based on clear evidence of what's all around you. Consensus is for losers, and for those who want to justify their inability to take reality and pure science as fact.

@JimHopf Well all this depends on only one thing. Which is the more moneyed lobby - Nuclear power or Oil ( read Seven Sisters). Personally I am all for Thorium based nuclear power plants.
I was a reactor operator on a nuclear submarine under Admiral Rickover. I know exactly where you're coming from. It's always "The China Syndrome" all day long. All nuclear waste is treated the same, whether it's spent cores or booties worn in the RC. Madness. The mindless opposition to nuclear technology is dumbfounding. I can't imagine where these folks come from.
As for over regulated, my past two decades were spent as a design engineer within the auto industry. I would gently suggest if ever there was an industry segment that was over regulated it's the autos.
I had to silently watch as the Obama administration tore into Toyota over a sudden acceleration problem that never existed.
I realize similar things have happened to the nukes, but not to the tune of $1.4 Billion.
I would not call the UK a 'distant place', and anybody who is advocating creationism over science, whilst labeling people who have the gall to disagree with them and who challenge and seek context and credible supporting quality evidence based research as ignorant is amusing and hypocritical..
Eco-advocates, and their climate change denial counters, have invaded the political landscape across the globe - it's global warming after all, not US Warming.
Speaking as a nuclear power advocate (as well as someone who works in the industry), I would humbly submit that you don't know what real (over) regulation is. You don't know what real intrusion is. Is the blanket exemption gas fracking got from both the Clean Water and Safe Drinking Water acts an example of such "over" regulation. That would be like removing nuke's requirement to have containment domes or any safety systems at all (i.e., something we could never dream of). And yes, it's the main reason why gas is so cheap.
Overall, regulations on fossil fuels (and their pollution) are incredibly lax, whereas the nuclear industry is required to go to the ends of the earth, and spend near infinite sums, to further reduce relatively tiny risks. The regulatory playing field (between nuclear and fossil) is hopelessly unlevel, with nuclear's requirements and standards (as measured by dollars spent per life saved or environmental impact avoided) being thousands of times higher than those imposed on the fossil industry.
My observations, of how the public actually behaves, is that they couldn't care less about risks/impacts related to fossil fuels, including global warming, but are absolutely intolerant of any nuclear-related risks or pollution. This despite the fact that the data clearly show the health/environmental impacts of fossil fuels to be thousands of times higher.
@EVdeath Neil is speaking from a distant place, where he's not aware, like we are, about how the EPA has intruded into every aspect of the lives of Americans, and overall industry, especially with the energy sector. His ignorance might have more to do with his stances.
It's been quietly corrected. It's what you get with journo grad's doing science 'reporting', gaff's on terminology and a lack of understanding of fundamentals of science.

A couple was attacked after trying to stop two men who were stealing items from cars.
Police said the couple was sitting in their car on Sears Drive in Manchester early Wednesday morning, when the two men got into the man's mother's car that was parked in front of them.
The couple got out and confronted the two men.
Police said one culprit sprayed the man with pepper spray, and the other punched the woman in the face. The men took off, leaving several stolen items behind.

In a celebration of Father's Day this month, we bring you a series where we asked a few of our Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, as well as their dads, about their journey to becoming one of America's Sweethearts.
This is the month when we'll take the time to honor the old man, pops, papa, father, ATM machine or, of course, daddy. Wanting to show a little love to those dedicated few who sat through countless hours of dance rehearsals and cheer competitions, we posed questions to several of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders and the men who helped raise them. Today, meet Sydney and Mark.
What do you remember about your relationship growing up as a dancer?
Sydney: My dad went to every performance I was in, and supported me in everything since I was three years old. He was always there with a smile, a big hug, and flowers. I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for his love, support and encouragement!
Mark: Ever since Sydney learned how to walk, she never walked, she always ran everywhere and danced. We enrolled her in dance classes when she was three years old, and she was always happy when she danced. She danced everywhere and at all times of the day. As she grew up, she focused more and more on classical ballet. She performed in Rio Grande Valley Ballet's "The Nutcracker" for five years, and she was the first non-professional dancer in the RGV to take on the role of the Sugar Plum Fairy. She also was the Snow Queen and Clara. I supported her in every performance.
What was the conversation like when you talked about trying out for the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders?
Sydney: I remember saying, "Hey dad, I'm going to move to Dallas!" in a somewhat humorous tone because I never thought I would actually make the team out of so many girls and move away from home. He told me to go for it. Performing has always been a passion of mine, and I have always loved giving back to others. My dad use to be "Santa" at children's hospitals around the Rio Grande Valley, and I was his "elf." I passed out toys and gifts to the kids that didn't get to spend Christmas at home or couldn't afford books, toys, and other things. As I grew up, I was Miss Rio Grande Valley Teen USA 2007, and I gave back to my community in every way possible. When I told him that I was going to audition for the DCC, he knew that it was the right choice for me because I would be able to continue my passions all while representing the best football team and organization in the world.
Mark: Sydney graduated high school early, and was in college by age 17 when she told me she wanted to branch out of ballet and expand her dancing career. She went to a dance competition in Denton, Texas, and when she came back she told me that she had been asked to audition for the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. I knew as soon as she told me that it was the right path for her. I knew she would be able to continue her passion for dance and love for giving back to others as a DCC.
Have you been surprised with what goes into being a DCC, from the tryouts to the games to the appearances?
Mark: As her dad, I have always been supportive and known that she was going to do great things and that she would be busy. When I get a phone call from her saying she is headed to Kuwait and Bahrain or South Korea for over 10 days during Christmas-time and New Years, part of me wishes she was here for the holidays, and the other part is so proud of the things she is doing for our community and U.S. military. I served in the U.S. Air Force, and I know how much it means to the men and women who serve our country. I love talking to Sydney and seeing how much it all means to her, and hearing all of her stories. There is a lot more to being a DCC than just auditions and performing. I couldn't be more proud of the things she does and the things that the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders do.
How does dad handle seeing you perform, not to mention posing in calendars, with millions watching you?
Sydney: I don't think my dad gets nervous watching me perform in front of millions of eyes. He loves it because he knows I am enjoying it!
Mark: I don't get nervous watching her perform or seeing her in calendars. When she is happy and fulfilling her dreams, I am happy.
What has your dad's love and support meant to you?
Sydney: My dad loves me and supports me like no other. He always has the best advice. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be where I am today. I still remember auditioning for the DCC back in 2008. Being away from my friends and family back home, which is nine hours away from Dallas, is not easy when you are 18 years old, but having my dad's love and support helped me achieve my dream, and I am thankful to be representing this amazing organization as a six-year veteran this season!

I've never stopped working. It's been over a decade. You learn to appreciate when it's not overnight. When people get in the game, they come with a song and they have to come with a body of work to complement the song. With me, I always felt I had the body of work; I just needed the song.
On His Debut Album Based on a T.R.U. Story
It took me my whole life to make it. It's different from a mixtape; you don't have to get everything cleared and signed off on. You put it up; people download it. You don't care if it's bootlegged b/c it's free. But when your album is bootlegged, first you get mad, but then you get over it. It felt good to get the response; it's unexplainable.
On Learning From Kanye West
What we tried to do was combine worlds. He was trying to show me the stadium side. He was trying to get me to think outside the box. He thinks of the person in the middle of [New York radio station Hot 97's] Summer Jam. I think of the little dreadhead dude at my show that's been drinking too much and sweating everywhere. And we just combined the stadium with that. We talk all the time and push each other as far as the competition level.

Forums >Health and Nutrition>Wisdom teeth removal
I'm sure this topic has come up already, if someone wants to point me to an old thread...
So I've heard horror stories about dry sockets and such when you come back too soon after your wisdom teeth are removed. I'm asking my dentist about it tomorrow, but I was wondering if anyone heard reliable guidelines for when to come back (pain level/time). Starting tomorrow seems fast compared to what I've heard from other peoples experience but I've felt good so far.
I had the surgery yesterday morning (all 4 at once), and it was relatively clean, (All I've really needed since the surgery is some ibuprofen when I got up this morning), and I'm 20 years old.
Know thyself.
an amazing likeness
Here is a recent 4 page thread on RA about wisdom teeth with lots of advice.
Choosing my words carefully has never been my strength I've been known to be vague and often pointless

60 Inch LCD TV On Sale
60 inch LCD? Is bigger better? Darn right when your talking about what size of a TV screen to get. The bigger the better. Like Tim The Tool Man Taylor says, "More Power, Grunt, Grunt Grunt"!! Same thing when considering is bigger better.
Thanks for clicking on to 60 Inch LCD. Our goal is to help you find a 60 inch LCD TV that best fits your needs, at the cheapest price that fits your budget.
==>In A Hurry? Go Here To 60 Inch LCD<==

Now, there are not a large number of televisions in the 60 LCD HDTV class because they could look out of whack in a smaller sized room.
But if you have the room and you simply desire an incredible TV adventure, then a 60 Inch LCD will unquestionably give you total satisfaction.
If your looking for the largest television you could get devoid of having the largest budget to be able to do so, then you will want to take a look at a 60 inch TV.
If you are wondering what the most cost effective big screen TV is, then traditional LCD TVs are less expensive when compared to a Plasma or LED TV.
You'll be able to find a 60 inch LCD HDTV for less than $2000 while the lowest priced sixty inch LED or Plasma TV will probably be around $500 more pricey.
Check Out The 60 Inch LCD Reviews
In case your sole desire is to buy the largest screen size possible, you might want to steer clear of LED TVs as well as the various other new technological innovations like 3D TVs, and pick the proven LCD TVs.
This may not be as huge a compromise as you may think, due to the fact an LED TV is just a LCD panel using LED illumination instead of fluorescent lamps. Of course high-end LED TVs can generate better benefits than traditional LCD TVs, but they are also way more costly.
And by top-end, all that is meant is the kind that includes rear end illumination and local dimming features, far from the less expensive edge lit LED televisions that are comparable in image quality when compared to LCD TVs.
Choosing the biggest LCD TV for your own price range doesn't mean you're going to have to settle for a standard TV either.
Almost all of the 60 LCD TV on the market will come jam packed with all the features you could want.
And since LCD TVs are becoming even higher in worth ever since the arrival of the LED TVs, it will basically maximize your value for your dollar.
For instance, it's now feasible to get an 60 Inch LCD for barely above $2000, and they can be equipped with 120 Hz TruMotion, a 150,000:1 dynamic contrast rate, wireless web connectivity, and many more options.
Hope these reviews are helpful for you in finding the best 60 inch LCD TV that fits your needs and pocketbook, and thanks for stopping by our 60 Inch LCD site.

This knife has impressed me
It reminded me of a knife of one person
Yes, it was just RRLOVER
It is a pity that many people use nicknames on the forum.
Given the cost of affordable knives Mario, this knife just perfect
Because of the relatively short time Mario's been making knives I'm kinda reluctant to say he's currently making some of the bicest gyutos out there.....but he is.
Haha, I loved the ending. Very impressive knife!

I think it is time for my mom to try a ira gold investment. I am helping her figure out what to do with her money. She is unsure about it and asked for my help.
My parents have always had a little extra money but I wouldn't really call them rich. We always had the money for the things we needed and a lot of what we wanted growing up. It was nice.
I never asked about their money or if they have enough as I didn't think it was my business. That all changed when my dad died and my mom had no idea what was going on. She called me one day and said she needed help with the bills.
She had enough money to pay them but she wasn't sure how as she had never had to do it. My dad was always in charge of that. When he died she felt so lost and wasn't sure what to do.
I flew down to see her and we spent some time organizing bills and figuring it all out. I set her up with some online payments and told her what to do when she got paid each month. She took all my advice and it seemed to be a great setup for her.
It was on this visit that I brought up ira gold investment. I just mentioned it to her. I didn't even say it was something she should do but I told her to look into it.
A few months went by and she didn't say anything about it. I thought she had forgotten or just didn't think it would work for her. Then I got a call that she really wanted to do it.
I was pleased to hear that as I like knowing she is such a part in her finances now. Before she really wasn't. She just went to work, got her paycheck and my dad always took care of the rest. She always had money for what she needed so she never questioned it.
I think she should try a 401k to gold ira rollover investment so that she can feel better about her own money and her future. She is only 52 so she does not have to worry about retirement right now but it is something that will come up in the next few years.
I just want her to be prepared and to be able to support herself as long as possible. She knows that my brother and her are here but I think she would really like being able to support herself. It gives her a sense of independence that I think she really needs right now.
We are all feeling the loss of my dad but I am glad we have figured out how to handle her money. I know that she is feeling better about the whole thing. She really has come along way in the last year when it comes to taking care of herself.

24 The chiefs of the Levites: Hashavyah, Sherevyah, and Yeshua the son of Kadmi'el, with their brothers over against them, to praise and give thanks, according to the mitzvah of David the man of God, watch next to watch. | 24 And the leaders of the Levites were Hashabiah, Sherebiah, Jeshua son of Kadmiel, and their associates, who stood opposite them to give praise and thanksgiving, one section responding to the other, as prescribed by David the man of God. |

26 These were in the days of Yoiakim the son of Yeshua, the son of Yotzadak, and in the days of Nechemyah the governor, and of Ezra the Kohen the Sofer. | 26 They served in the days of Joiakim son of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the governor and of Ezra the priest and scribe. |
27 At the dedication of the wall of Yerushalayim they sought the Levites out of all their places, to bring them to Yerushalayim, to keep the dedication with gladness, both with giving thanks, and with singing, with cymbals, psalteries, and with harps. | 27 At the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem, the Levites were sought out from where they lived and were brought to Jerusalem to celebrate joyfully the dedication with songs of thanksgiving and with the music of cymbals, harps and lyres. |
28 The sons of the singers gathered themselves together, both out of the plain round about Yerushalayim, and from the villages of the Netofati; | 28 The singers also were brought together from the region around Jerusalem--from the villages of the Netophathites, |
29 also from Beit-Gilgal, and out of the fields of Geva and `Azmavet: for the singers had built them villages round about Yerushalayim. | 29 from Beth Gilgal, and from the area of Geba and Azmaveth, for the singers had built villages for themselves around Jerusalem. |
30 The Kohanim and the Levites purified themselves; and they purified the people, and the gates, and the wall. | 30 When the priests and Levites had purified themselves ceremonially, they purified the people, the gates and the wall. |
31 Then I brought up the princes of Yehudah on the wall, and appointed two great companies who gave thanks and went in procession; [whereof one went] on the right hand on the wall toward the dung gate: | 31 I had the leaders of Judah go up on top of the wall. I also assigned two large choirs to give thanks. One was to proceed on top of the wall to the right, toward the Dung Gate. |
32 and after them went Hosha`yah, and half of the princes of Yehudah, | 32 Hoshaiah and half the leaders of Judah followed them, |
33 and `Azaryah, Ezra, and Meshullam, | 33 along with Azariah, Ezra, Meshullam, |
34 Yehudah, and Binyamin, and Shemayah, and Yirmeyahu, | 34 Judah, Benjamin, Shemaiah, Jeremiah, |
35 and certain of the Kohanim' sons with trumpets: Zekharyah the son of Yonatan, the son of Shemayah, the son of Mattanyah, the son of Mikhayahu, the son of Zakkur, the son of Asaf; | 35 as well as some priests with trumpets, and also Zechariah son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Micaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph, |
36 and his brothers, Shemayah, and `Azar'el, Milalai, Gilalai, Ma`ai, Netan'el, and Yehudah, Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God; and Ezra the Sofer was before them. | 36 and his associates--Shemaiah, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, Judah and Hanani--with musical instruments [ prescribed by] David the man of God. Ezra the scribe led the procession. |
37 By the spring gate, and straight before them, they went up by the stairs of the city of David, at the ascent of the wall, above the house of David, even to the water gate eastward. | 37 At the Fountain Gate they continued directly up the steps of the City of David on the ascent to the wall and passed above the house of David to the Water Gate on the east. |
38 The other company of those who gave thanks went to meet them, and I after them, with the half of the people, on the wall, above the tower of the furnaces, even to the broad wall, | 38 The second choir proceeded in the opposite direction. I followed them on top of the wall, together with half the people--past the Tower of the Ovens to the Broad Wall, |
39 and above the gate of Efrayim, and by the old gate, and by the fish gate, and the tower of Hanan'el, and the tower of Hammeah, even to the sheep gate: and they stood still in the gate of the guard. | 39 over the Gate of Ephraim, the Jeshanah Gate, the Fish Gate, the Tower of Hananel and the Tower of the Hundred, as far as the Sheep Gate. At the Gate of the Guard they stopped. |
40 So stood the two companies of those who gave thanks in the house of God, and I, and the half of the rulers with me; | 40 The two choirs that gave thanks then took their places in the house of God; so did I, together with half the officials, |
41 and the Kohanim, Elyakim, Ma`aseyah, Minyamin, Mikhayahu, Elyo`enai, Zekharyah, and Hananyah, with trumpets; | 41 as well as the priests--Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah and Hananiah with their trumpets-- |
42 and Ma`aseyah, and Shemayah, and El`azar, and `Uzzi, and Yehochanan, and Malkiyah, and `Elam, and Etzer. The singers sang loud, with Yizrachyah their overseer. | 42 and also Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazar, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malkijah, Elam and Ezer. The choirs sang under the direction of Jezrahiah. |
43 They offered great sacrifices that day, and rejoiced; for God had made them rejoice with great joy; and the women also and the children rejoiced: so that the joy of Yerushalayim was heard even afar off. | 43 And on that day they offered great sacrifices, rejoicing because God had given them great joy. The women and children also rejoiced. The sound of rejoicing in Jerusalem could be heard far away. |
44 On that day were men appointed over the chambers for the treasures, for the heave-offerings, for the first fruits, and for the tithes, to gather into them, according to the fields of the cities, the portions appointed by the law for the Kohanim and Levites: for Yehudah rejoiced for the Kohanim and for the Levites who waited. | 44 At that time men were appointed to be in charge of the storerooms for the contributions, firstfruits and tithes. From the fields around the towns they were to bring into the storerooms the portions required by the Law for the priests and the Levites, for Judah was pleased with the ministering priests and Levites. |
45 They kept the charge of their God, and the charge of the purification, and [so did] the singers and the porters, according to the mitzvah of David, and of Shlomo his son. | 45 They performed the service of their God and the service of purification, as did also the singers and gatekeepers, according to the commands of David and his son Solomon. |
46 For in the days of David and Asaf of old there was a chief of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving to God. | 46 For long ago, in the days of David and Asaph, there had been directors for the singers and for the songs of praise and thanksgiving to God. |
47 All Yisra'el in the days of Zerubbavel, and in the days of Nechemyah, gave the portions of the singers and the porters, as every day required: and they set apart [that which was] for the Levites; and the Levites set apart [that which was] for the sons of Aharon. | 47 So in the days of Zerubbabel and of Nehemiah, all Israel contributed the daily portions for the singers and gatekeepers. They also set aside the portion for the other Levites, and the Levites set aside the portion for the descendants of Aaron. |
