Syndicating a Website's Content in Five Minutes
Responding to the tremendous buzz over RSS (Really Simply Syndication) a number of free sites on the Web have sprung up that completely automate the process of syndicating site content across the Web. In practice, this means that in a matter of minutes, you're now able to tweak your site so that hotlinks to your company press releases and similar promotional materials can be sent to RSS readers across the Web.
The popularity of RSS is growing exponentially. The technology is being seen by increasing numbers of Web users as an alternative to e-mail, because it can be used by Web surfers to track changes on websites without requiring a user to release an e-mail address.
In practice, RSS-generated news of website updates--including press releases, white papers, new product downloads and site changes--arrives as headline hotlinks, which RSS-users can click on to view the full press release or other site change.
While initially popularized by bloggers to alert their readers about blog updates, RSS is currently poised to go mainstream. Megaportal My Yahoo (my.yahoo.com/s/rss-faq.html), a site used by millions worldwide to track news and information, recently added RSS-tracking to its arsenal of Web data gathering tools, for example. Third-party products like RSS Explorer (rssexplorer.planet-hood.com) are enabling users to add a toolbar to Internet Explorer to makes the browser RSS-ready.
Also fueling mainstream acceptance are sites like Ice Rocket (rss.icerocket.com), which offer easy-to-use RSS builders that automatically generate the tiny strip of code needed to make a Web page RSS-readable. Ice Rocket offers the service free-of-charge as a way to encourage use of its main product: its Web search engine.
NPR (www.npr.org/rss) offers a wide-range of RSS-syndicated programming, each on its own, individual RSS "channel." Minnesota Public Radio (minnesota.publicradio.org/about/site/rss) takes a similar approach, as does CBC/Radio Canada (www.cbc.ca/rss) and KSL News Radio 1160 AM, Salt Lake City (radio.ksl.com/index.php?sid=112927&nid=19).
Generally, an individual can find invitations for RSS tracking--little tags stamped with the acronyms RSS or XML--on the home page of websites encoded with RSS.
How it works
Probably the first thing users will notice when they get to Ice Rocket's RSS builder is the great pains the company has taken to simplify and goof-proof the process of RSS-link generation. Essentially, creating the link takes four steps: registration, channel creation, item creation and publishing. The process takes about five minutes.
The first step, registration, will take seconds. All Ice Rocket asks for is the user's e-mail address, a password and the user's first and last name.
Next, the user will be asked to create a channel, which is used by RSS distribution sites to send his RSS link across the Web. To create a channel, users need some data inputs: the user's website name, URL, a brief description, a URL that will be used to source an image for the channel (usually the home page), the user's e-mail and any copyright info he would like to add.
Once a channel has been created, begin adding links to specific items--such as press releases, white papers and new Web brochures. Ice Rocket requires is a title for the item, a URL, a brief description of the item and the user's e-mail address. As an added service, Ice Rocket also verifies that the item as rendered on the user's Web page can be read by RSS news aggregators, and republished on other websites.
The last step is actually handled automatically by Ice Rocket. It automatically generates the code for a tiny RSS icon, which can be cut-and-pasted onto the user's website where his item appears. The icon serves as a heads-up for anyone using an RSS-reader — or anyone using an RSS-capable portal like My Yahoo — that changes to the site can be tracked via RSS.
With these four steps, anyone can create an "RSS feed," and his site has joined the ranks of tens of thousands of others, including The New York Times, CNN, BBC and About.com, that have decided to broaden their reach by making their sites readable to the RSS community.
(If Ice Rocket doesn't suit your fancy, you can find several other free RSS builders by entering key-phrase "RSS builder" into any search engine.)
Promoting and tracking
Even though Ice Rocket's RSS builder is virtually goof-proof, users may want to spend some extra time making sure the feed is picked up by all the major RSS news aggregators, and that all the major RSS readers are picking up on the feed as well.
The major RSS news aggregators include Syndic8 (www.syndic8.com), Complete RSS (www.completerss.com), Feedster Finder (feedfinder.feedster.com), News Is Free (www.newsisfree.com), and RSS Feeds (www.rssfeeds.com). Each of these sites will offer a link to click on to enter the URL of a site where RSS-coded content is available.
Also, double check the readability of your site's RSS feed in a few, well-established RSS readers. These include Feed Demon (www.feeddemon.com), Feed Reader (www.feedreader.com), Newz Crawler (www.newzcrawler.com), Ampheta Desk (disobey.com/amphetadesk), Net News Wire (www.rancher.com/netnewswire), Newsgator (www.newsgator.com), Bloglines (www.bloglines.com), My Wire Service (www.mywireservice.cm) and Feed-Me (www.feed-me.info).
Yet another group of sites, RSS search engines, specializes in searching out RSS content on the Web and summarizing those offerings. These sites differ from the others in that they go beyond simply citing RSS feed names and descriptions, and bringing back summaries of the actual text being offered by the RSS feeds. These sites include Technorati (www.technorati.com), Daypop (www.daypop.com), Feedster (www.feedster.com), Pub Sub (www.pubsub.com) and Rocket News (www.rocketnews.com).
Dysart is an Internet business consultant based in Thousand Oaks, CA.

This site is easily one of the most comprehensive informational sites on RSS available. Essentially: Stop one for anyone looking to get an overview of the technology.RSS: Your Gateway to News and Blog Content by Danny Sullivan searchenginewatch.com/sereport/article.php/2175281

Victory Pharma Inc. has completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of MiddleBrook Pharmaceuticals Inc.
Supplier News Breaks Archives
SAN DIEGO – Victory Pharma Inc. has completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of MiddleBrook Pharmaceuticals Inc.
With the deal, terms of which weren't disclosed, Victory Pharma has expanded its product portfolio with the addition of anti-infective products Moxatag and Keflex, along with the Pulsys drug delivery technology platform.
Victory added that the product additions complement its current products, such as Naprelan, which the company markets to primary care and specialist physicians.
"This acquisition reflects our strategy of leveraging our existing commercial infrastructure to expand our portfolio of marketed products," Matt Heck, president and chief executive officer of Victory Pharma, said in a statement. "The addition of these products balances our portfolio nicely, as Naprelan's highest period of utilization is in the spring and summer, while Moxatag's utilization peaks during the flu season. And we believe Moxatag will substantially benefit from our management team's prior, successful experience marketing anti-infective products."
Westlake, Texas-based MiddleBrook had announced at the end of April that it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
Moxatag is the only Food and Drug Administration-approved, once-daily formulation of amoxicillin and is indicated for the treatment of tonsillitis and/or pharyngitis. It uses the Pulsys technology to deliver drug at set intervals over a 24-hour period, whereas other amoxicillin products require multiple-times-daily dosing.

Turkey, pumpkin pie, and pilgrims for all. Oh what a glorious day.
Yes, it has come. The day when you, my fine American friends, gather 'round the television to embrace the warmth of family and spread good cheer, while we here in the great nation of Canada do the same. Together, we'll celebrate the Thanksgiving gift of football.
But what of the fantasy gifts of the season? Are there any bargains to be had in the hours before kickoff today? To answer those questions I did a miniature version of the weekly Friday defensive streaming post, because if there are cheap but possibly rewarding last-minute plays out there, that's where they lie.
Unfortunately, we're looking at mostly desperate times. But if certain matchups fall in your favor, there's still some high upside riverboat gambling potential.
Dallas Cowboys vs. Raiders (percentage owned: 65%): The ownership here is higher-ish, meaning your opportunity to stream DeMarcus Ware et al against an undrafted rookie in only his third start that's happening under the Thanksgiving spotlight are dwindling. But we're still flirting with 40 percent availability in Yahoo leagues for the Cowboys, and against a weak Raiders offensive line, this could be a prime opportunity for dem 'Boys to tee off.
The Raiders have given up 38 sacks, with 54 quarterback hits, which works out to a little over three sacks per game, and Ware has five sacks in just eight game appearances. When he faced a similar presence in JJ. Watt two weeks ago, Matt McGloin's yards per attempt finished at only 6.2, and he was held to 197 passing yards. In the Cowboys' secondary there may actually be some addition through subtraction with Morris Claiborne's continued absence due to injury. The vastly underperforming sophomore gives way to Orlando Scandrick, the veteran who's done just the opposite.
But the most appealing aspect of the Cowboys vs. McGloin matchup is Denarius Moore sitting. Moore is still struggling with a shoulder injury, stripping McGloin of his primary deep threat. His game is better suited for the intermediate routes run by Rod Streater and tight end Mychal Rivera, but the subtraction of Moore takes away the primary home run potential.
A Rashad Jennings trucking could be very real, especially with Sean Lee watching. Accept that from the guy who's led the NFL in yards from scrimmage and then shrug if you're trotting out these Cowboys, and know that when McGloin drops back, the matchup gets more appealing.
Detroit Lions vs. Packers (percentage owned: 10%): If it was mandated that actual turkeys had to be thrown during Thanksgiving Day games, the Lions still couldn't stop a damn thing. They're days removed from allowing rookie Mike Glennon to record a passer rating of 138.4 with a yards per attempt of 11.8, and over their last three games they've given up 926 passing yards with eight touchdowns.
None of that is good, and all of it would normally make you run far away from the Lions. But then there's the Matt Flynn factor, he of the noddle arm glory.
He's being protected by a much better offensive line now than the feeble one he stood behind in Oakland. But at some point that doesn't matter with his poor decision-making ability and tendency to hold on to the ball for too long. Back in Week 4 during his lone Raiders start that contributed to seven sacks — seven – and three fumbles, making the fact he was facing the Redskins and one of the league's worst secondaries (they're still allowing a league low 8.6 yards per pass attempt) of little concern.
So despite the chunks upon chunks that the Lions have given up through the air, there's intrigue in their matchup against Flynn. If you're in a deep league and the reasonable streaming options are thin this week, jumping on the Lions today is something far better than awful. That's especially true when we combine the Flynn fun with the likelihood that a front seven allowing only 88.0 rushing yards per game can contain Eddie Lacy.
More notes, reading, stray thoughts, and other such randomness
Elsewhere in Turkey Day matchup previewing
Evan Silva is required reading before setting your lineups today, as he is prior to every NFL weekend. He reminds us of just how damn good Rashad Jennings has been of late, averaging 22 touches for 139 yards per game over the past month.
Still better than Flynn?
Oh, and one more fun Flynn fact
This Aaron Rodgers injury deal has led to a lot more than just a massive quarterback downgrade. We're watching history here, guys.
Matt Flynn will be the 4th different starting QB for the Packers this season. In the previous 21 years, they started 3 different QBs

An award winning local photographer is responsible for the cover of the current issue of Surfer Magazine. For 25 year old Chris Burkard of Arroyo Grande this is his second Surfer Magazine cover.
It was at the age of 20 when Burkard who grew up in Pismo Beach got his big break. He won the "Follow the Light Foundation" grant for a picture he shot. The award, voted on by some of the top surf photographers earned him a grant that he used to pay for a trip up and down the California Coast to create a book of surf photographs. The book titled "The California Surf Project" got published.
Burkard now shoots for surfeline.com in addition to Surfer Magazine, which is known as the bible of surfing. The magazines October cover features a picture Burkard shot while in India, of a surfer on the beach looking at a wave.
"For me one of the unique things about the cover is that it's just an empty wave and it's just kind of like every surfers dream" says Burkard.
Burkard's greatest achievement as a photographer came last October when he won the premier adventure sports photography competition in the world, the "Red Bull Illume Competition." He beat out entries from all around the world with a beautifully illuminated shot of a surfer riding a wave on Chile's west coast.
"In a way you want to kind of sell the dream. You want to bring back photo's that are going to make people want to pick up the magazine or maybe want to go there and experience what you have" says Burkard.
Burkard has traveled all around the world with his camera to capture surfing images. He considers the travel to be the best part of his job. To view Burkard's website, click here

Scientific photography is about visualizing things that can't be seen with the unaided eye. It is used to describe natural and man-made phenomena in a way that clarifies, educates, and illuminates.
scientific photography, we can describe things to other scientists, but
also to the public, which in many cases supports the research with its
tax money.
Science photography that is beautiful and otherwise
aesthetically pleasing is able to capture the imagination of the viewer
to a degree unlike any other style of photography. Something about
images of things never scene before: witness the fascination with the
remarkable space photographs brought back by the Hubble telescope.
Scientific photographs address a deep human need to explore, to push
frontiers, and to answer fundamental questions about the world around
Photography careers that use scientific photography are
rare, but they exist. Most of the practitioners of scientific imaging
are trained in a particular field of study, and use photography to
explain their work to other scientists and to the general public.
worked with researchers in a number of settings, I can tell you that
the average quality level of scientific photographs leaves much to be
desired. That's too bad, because good photography is essential to
communicating new scientific ideas to people with a limited
understanding of the subject.
A scientist who understands basic photography is a rare,
but valuable team member. As photography jobs go, scientific
is more than anything driven by a thirst for discovery, and for
creating striking images of things that have never been seen before.
Before we move on,
here's a list of the other pages in this Macro Photography Careers
The answer
to that question is as varied as science itself. If a
process or a phenomenon or an object can be seen, it can (and
be photographed. If it can
be seen, but is believed to exist in a certain state outside of our
normal comprehension, it's a safe bet that someone is figuring out how
to photograph
it! A scientific photographer will understand both the
objects to be photographed (i.e., what makes it unique or special), and
the equipment necessary to acquire the image.
Over the years,
scientific imaging has grown up alongside scientific progress in many
fields. This is due not only to the questions that scientific
photography help us answer, but to the new questions that arise out of
those answers. That is the essence of science!
Scientific disciplines as varied as Biology, Chemistry, Physics,
Geology, Oceanography, Astronomy, Medicine, and Engineering will all
have specific uses for scientific photography.
are several technical photography techniques that have arisen in
response to the need to visualize things that are hidden. They include
infrared and ultraviolet imaging, stroboscopic photography, Schlieren
techniques, electron microscopy, polarized lighting and many others.
A scientific
photographer has a dizzying variety of photography principles to wade
through when choosing how to photograph a particular subject. Here are
just a few:
"Earthrise": this image, from the Apollo 8 mission as it orbited the moon in 1968, struck a deep chord with millions of viewers. Never before had Planet Earth's fragile beauty been on such graceful display. Photo by NASA. | |
Until Eadweard Muybridge made "The Horse in Motion" series (1878), the question of whether a galloping horse's hooves all leave the ground at the same time was open to debate. This is a prime example of how scientific photography reveals aspects of the natural world that are hidden from the unaided eye. Photo Library of Congress. | |
A milk drop, frozen in time by Harold "Doc" Edgerton, a pioneer in the use of high-speed strobe. Photo courtesy Edgerton Digital Collections. |
photography jobs in scientific photography are held by people with
primary training as scientists, researchers, or research assistants.
Even so, just as there are special skills that make good scientists,
there are qualities that define successful scientific photographers.
Scientific photography demands technical precision. All images
must be as well-focused, as well-exposed,
and as free of distractions as the situation permits. A keen
understanding of the subject being photographed, a sense of curiosity
and imagination, and a well-developed artistic
sensibility are essential, along with a firm grasp of basic
science. This includes basic optics, the physics of light, and electronic
images are used routinely in published research papers, posters,
lectures, and in grant applications. A solid background and/or flair
for graphic arts is priceless!
is about solving problems and answering questions. Any
scientific photographer worth his/her
salt will approach an imaging conundrum with an open mind and a
curiosity about how to use the equipment available to get the shot.
He/she will also know when equipment upgrades are necessary, and will
understand the market to make intelligent purchases.
all else fails, build it yourself! Many of the greatest photography
inventions began as contraptions cobbled together in the lab.
Electronic flash is a perfect example: stroboscopes used in engineering
were modified to synchronize with cameras, with stunning results (see
the milk drop photo above).
final point: Successful scientific photography is highly collaborative.
Scientific imaging specialists must be able to communicate well to
overcome obstacles to acquiring great images.
small stuff is a matter of routine in scientific photography. Makes
sense: if the purpose of scientific imaging is to reveal things never
seen before, then it follows that high magnification photography would
play a big role.
about how to photography a
particular object or phenomenon often revolve around what degree of
magnification to use. High magnification is usually associated with
more detail, which is a good thing. However, there is a trade-off. As magnification increases,
photographic control decreases.
High-magnification microscopes are
usually equipped with limited lighting controls, whereas lower
magnification macro photography and close-up photography set-ups allow
full lighting manipulation as well as more mobility in choosing the
shooting angle.
Scientific photographers must have mastered the basic
principles of close-up and macro photography. They will use
appropriate macro
lenses, macro accessories, and lighting
accessories, such as ring flash. They must also understand filtration and basic lighting
equipment in
this field must be rugged and able to withstand heavy use: insist on
the best
professional equipment available. Beware of the high cost of cheap
equipment! Break-downs are expensive!
Most people who
practice scientific and technical photography are employed first and
foremost as scientists or research assistants. For these folks,
photography skills are an add-on to their core skills. But where, oh
where, can a person learn photography without dropping everything and
enrolling in photography school?
A person working in the sciences can learn photography through formal
coursework, home-study, workshops, or on the job. This website
offers a lot of material in and around macro photography, and close-up
photography, but also about basic photography, photography lighting, and digital
an undergraduate degree or certificate program fits your circumstances,
congratulations! A 2- or 4-year photography degree should be augmented
with study in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Mathematics.
Degree programs abound, and although it would be impossible to list all
of them here, I know and respect many graduates of the Biomedical
Photography program at Rochester Institute of Technology. I will fill out
this list as time goes on.
There is no one clear path into photography careers, as illustrated by my own long, strange trip into a photography job. Visit the Macro Photography Careers page where we discuss education and more, written for those interested in photography jobs.
Industries change, and it is impossible to predict the future with any
certainty. It
is also difficult to find official data that projects the future of a
specialty area such as scientific photography. What I offer is my
based on my experience working as an ophthalmic
photographer, a sub-specialty in which scientific photography
principles carry a lot of weight.
world of science is astoundingly complex, and there are a lot of big,
big problems in this world that need solving. It is indisputable that
ability to image intricate phenomena continues to improve as the years
march on. It is therefore a safe bet that imaging will help scientists
to explain the work they are doing, to catalyze support within and
outside of the scientific community.
will be an increasing need for good visual communicators working in the
sciences. I do predict a need for specialist scientific
photographers, however not as much as for scientists and researchers

Hi again, It's been a while since I was last on here! I had one Adenium then, now I have three. (Plus several little seedlings) Two are in bloom, one's pink and the other is white. The third one I just picked up yesterday, It's grafted! I have one question about the newest arrival, but mostly I just wanted to show off my flowers. As for the question, is it okay to repot the new guy? It appears to be pretty root bound, little roots poking out all around the bottom of it's old pot. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Show photo of root bound plant. |
And here's a picture of the bottom of the pot. |

Mandy, this new plant looks very good. Repot is needed for this new member of yours. It is grafted and I hope it keeps you plenty of double and triple. Marie |
That will bee a nice addition for you Mandy. Looks to have a few branches also coming off the root stock below the graft junction? They would usually be removed. Rick |

Issues & Current Projects
Keep up to date on the latest projects and issues via the YALSAblog.
Advocacy Benchmarks: a member taskforce is currently working on developing a document that librarians and library workers can use to measure their current level of advocacy activity and identify strategies for even greater success and impact.
Badges for Librarians: with $75,000 in funds from Digital Media & Learning, YALSA is developing digital badges as a new means of delivering continuing education to its members and to the library community. Continuing education is critically important in the field of librarianship, due to the constantly changing nature of information technologies and the fact that libraries are seeing a fundamental shift from being content providers to also assisting patrons with using, creating and sharing content. The badges are being tested in early 2014, for a launch later in the year. To keep up on the latest developments, visit the YALSAblog. Read about an overview of the project via this four page case study (.pdf) from Mozilla.
The Future of Library Services for & with Teens: As part of a year-long grant funded effort that brought together key stakeholders from the areas of libraries, education, technology, adolescent development and the for-profit and nonprofit sectors to explore the world of young adults and library services to this population, YALSA published a report in Jan. 2014 which provides direction on how libraries need to adapt and change to better meet the needs of 21st century teens. Grant funding is generously provided by the Institute of Museum and Library Services. For more information, and to access the report please visit http://www.ala.org/yaforum/.
Infographics for Advocacy: throughout 2014 YALSA will publish a series of infographics which illustrate the importance of library services for teens, and the vital role libraries play in helping teens succeed in school and beyond.
Makerspace Resources: throughout 2014 - 2015 a taskforce is working to create a variety of resources to help members learn about the maker movement and how libraries can be a part of it in order to increase their value in their community. Activities include: creating a "Making in Libraries" toolkit (PDF) released in conjunction with 2014 's Teen Tech Week; implementing a maker programming contest during summer 2014 for members to highlight best practices; maintaining the maker page on YALSA's public wiki on an ongoing basis and encouraging members to contribute to the content there; identify writers to create maker related posts and articles.
Professional Values: A taskforce is working throughout 2014 to investigate best practices in associations and professionalism, then identify core professionalism values of a librarian or library worker serving teens, and use it for a basis for creating guidelines for professionalism for librarians and library workers who work with and for teens.
Programming Clearinghouse: with grant funds from the Best Buy Children's Foundation and the Dollar General Literacy Foundation, in 2014 YALSA will create an online clearinghouse of teen programming. Users will be able to upload and share their own program ideas.
Programming Guidelines: a member taskforce is currently developing national standards for planning, delivering and evaluating teen programs. A draft document (.pdf) was shared with YALSA's Board in Jan. 2014.
Teen Book Finder app: With grant funds from the Dollar General Literacy Foundation, YALSA is able to provide both the Apple version and Android version of the Teen Book Finder app. Dollar General funds multiple projects that support libraries. Watch this video to learn more.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Design by Patricia Urquiola.
Made in Italy by Kartell.
Conducting a dialogue between natural and artificial reality, the Foliage collection is infused with the characteristics of Spanish designer Patricia Urquiola. Looking as if it has grown naturally, the quilted leaves form a crest resting on the frame made of "virtual branches". This three-seater sofa has great personality with a soft seat and quilted stitching that covers the entire surface, including the back. Its artistic appeal can be enjoyed from any angle. The Foliage Sofa is available in a wide range of 100% wool or polyester fabric with legs fashioned from epoxy coated iron.
- Overall: 68.9"W X 33"D X 37"H
- Seat Height: 18"
- Weight: 85.43 lbs

Model(s): 6085
Born in Oviedo, a town of Northern Spain, Patricia Urquiola studied first in Madrid and then in Milan where in 1989 she graduated from the Milan Polytechnic with her thesis supervised by the internationally renowned designer and architect Achille Castiglioni. Even though from a sociocultural point of view she is very attached to the Spanish tradition, the studies she got involved with influenced her to such an extent that she became of the most important figures of modern Italian design.
From 1990 to 1992 she taught in the role of assistant professor at the Milan Polytechnic, and at the Ensci (Ecole nationale supérieure de création industrielle) in Paris, France. During that period she also started a partnership with the Italian design company Maddalena De Padova where she met another internationally renowned designer, Vico Magistretti, with whom she designed the chair Flower, the sofa Loom, and the horizontal chair Chaise Longue. Like Achille Castiglioni, Vico Mgistretti noticed her talent and advised her to aspire to achieve the highest professional standards at a worldwide level.
From 1993 to 1996 she worked in a design workshop that she had initiated with other designers where she was involved in architectural planning of buildings, interior design, and exhibition design. In 1998 she started partnership with the firm Moroso and created elegant upholstered pieces of furniture that people found irresistible.
Patricia Urquiola while working in harmony with the highest academic standards, also takes into consideration the impact that her products have on the vast public. She focuses on the design of exchangeable units without using modular elements, and successfully creates environments designed to encourage positive feelings and company.
From 1996 she is a coordinator of the design group of the company Lissoni Associati and articulates her professional activity around countless work partnerships with design and architecture companies of worldwide importance like her teachers Achille Castiglioni and Vico Magistretti had wished.

Linux Powers Four-Wall 3-D Display
A variety of software is used to deal with the active stereo and scene synchronization needs of the cluster. The commodity cluster was built upon a standard installation of Red Hat Linux 7.2, and the kernel was then patched to include the Real-Time Application Interface (RTAI), which allows for low latency and task completion timing.
SoftGenLock and RTAI are used in concert to provide a software active stereo solution. The RTAI kernel module detects the vertical refresh of the monitor and changes a pointer in the video card memory that tells the video card what to draw on the screen. A double-sized buffer is provided to the application by specifying a virtual frame buffer in XFree86, which is twice the size of the actual frame buffer being drawn to the screen. For example, if displaying at a resolution of 1024 × 768 in active stereo, the virtual desktop would need to be at a resolution of 2048 × 768. The RTAI kernel module splits the frame buffer in half and alternatingly displays the scene in 1024 × 768 pieces. An application draws in stereo by rendering to the right and left sides of the X frame buffer for the right and left eye.
Genlock/data lock is achieved by synchronizing the machines in the cluster over the parallel ports. The RTAI kernel module writes to one pin on the parallel port and reads from another to make sure that the other machines in the cluster have completed a frame. The master tells all the other nodes in the cluster when to draw, and the other nodes in the cluster report back when they are ready for a new frame. Data lock is achieved by making sure that the slave machines in the cluster are on the correct eye when the parallel port is in a certain state.
SoftGenLock does not synchronize applications between the nodes of a cluster; it provides data lock and stereo. It is the responsibility of the application to synchronize the viewing frustum and animations in the application. Lastly, since SoftGenLock only uses VGA registers, it potentially can work with any graphics card.
When installing a PC cluster, a lot of issues must be dealt with before setup. Here are the important points and some recommendations on how to set up the system properly:
Be sure to have adequate HVAC, power and network access where the cluster will be set up.
Set up the cluster and display system in separate rooms, because noise levels from fans, drives, etc., may be distracting.
Prepare to deal with a lot of issues associated with laying down the cables. The time taken at this stage to label and check the cabling for proper size and lengths will save time later. This will alleviate problems with signal degradation and simply losing a cable in the "nest".
Create a master power switch to turn off all units at once.
We constructed and installed a three-wall cluster in less than two weeks. This cluster was configured to use active stereo and has the ability to demonstrate swap locking and data locking.
We tested the PC commodity cluster by implementing a simple visualization software system. We utilized an interoperable software architecture, VR Juggler, which provides a set of programming abstractions for interfacing with a variety of display, tracking and computing systems and a variety of interaction devices. The software, which is used for visualizing terrain information, has a variety of display modes including stereo. It can be recompiled to work on different computing architectures and reconfigured at execution time by including different default device configuration files.
The application integrated smoothly with the cluster system and performed better than expected. The quality of the displays and stereo viewing was comparable to the same software running on three walls using an SGI Onyx 2 with IR2 graphics. However, the cluster was able to visualize the data with better performance. Figure 3 shows the cluster software running in the four-wall display system on the three side walls.
The use of a graphics PC cluster is now becoming a viable low-cost alternative to the use of single large visualization supercomputers. The PCs and related video hardware are fairly cheap, computationally powerful and flexible. There also is an abundance of software available for them, such as VR Juggler, which allow for applications to interface with a variety of display systems and interaction devices easily. Our cluster experiment explored the feasibility of phasing out and replacing existing expensive single large computing hardware. The results show we can make this kind of transition in the near future, and we believe our experiences will be motivation for others to follow suit.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

My car looked better crashed than it did when it came out of this place. It took them 3 weeks to replace a rear quarter panel, bumper, and exhaust. They used the cheapest of products. The bumper was a $75.00 knock off that had a good 1/4" gap around my car. They didn't even shave the seams down. The quarter panel is bowed out like they didn't tac it right. The paint, what they did paint, has so much orange peel I wanted to eat it. They didnt paint the inside of my trunk under the windshield but managed to not tape off my trunk and oversprayed all over my trunk including the spare fucking tire. The parts they did tape off, they taped off with duct tape and left the adhesive residue all over my car. Not to mention, they didn't cover my car and while sandblasting another car, destroyed the entire paint on the top of my car and then left it like i wouldn't notice. Even someone that was blind would have noticed that. Along with the sandblasted top of my car, they chipped the shit out of my windshield thanks to hot metal shards from the grinder and refuse to replace it. They were given $300.00 for an exhaust, used a $70.00 used exhaust and didn't even replace the f****** hangers. There was overspray all over my door panel, the rear window seal was broken on removal and they didn't replace. They broke the plastic clips on my inside body panel when removing and left it hanging. They didn't even need to touch my headlight and they did to buff them and be nice and busted my $300.00 HID headlights and the seal around my drivers headlight. Needless to say they still have my car and at this point i dont even want the f******* thing back. DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR HERE!!!!

HORSE Poker Games
About HORSE Poker
Horse is an extremely popular "mixed game" of poker. It is an acronym for Hold'em, Omaha, Razz, Stud, and Eight or better (7 card stud Hi/lo split). In a tournament the game will switch when the blind levels increase and in a cash game it will be a set number of hands, usually one orbit of the button.
Many people believe that the $50k HORSE event at the World Series of Poker crowns the "true" world champion because the winner must be proficient in all of the games and not just hold'em .It is because of this that the event has a $50,000 buy in and is usually filled with the world best professional players.
It should also be said that the biggest regular game running is a mixed game. It can be found running in Bobby's room in the Bellagio with stakes as high as 4000/8000.

I thought last night that I'd finished quilting the star quilt. This morning I looked at some of the pictures I originally used for inspiration and realized that none of the quilts left as many unquilted areas. This one will be washed before I give it. First to removed the marker and secondly to close any small needle holes where I ripped stitching. I also used spray baste (which I absolutely love!) and think it would be best to wash it out. That said it will have the post washed look, not the pristine new look. I still don't know if the blank areas will look bad or not. Any opinions? Starting over in not an option ;-) The turquoise looking lines are just marker. The smaller close up of the back is a better view of where the spaces are. |

Can't you just go in and fill the unquilted spaces? I would think they would puff up too much if left alone. I'd make the quilting density the same all over. |
I agree. Keep the density similar. If it's a big, open quilting pattern, then it works to have lots of open spaces, but with these nice feathers, I think it would look more balanced to fill it in some more. Really nice job on the feathers, by the way!!! It's a pattern I cannot seem to master so I'm always impressed when I see them done so well, Kate |

That is beautiful and you did a wonderful job! Are the dark blue areas quilted? I can sort of see they might be quilted like the blue floral adjacent to the dark blue? If there is quilting on the blue floral border, then I think you have sufficient quilting - just my opinion. I do not care for heavy quilting usually, but if you plan to enter this in shows, you might want to add some more quilting. Those judges like a quilt to be quilted within an inch of it's life - make that a quarter inch! Teresa |

Wow...it's beautiful! I can't tell if the dark blue is quilted either, but the quilting I can see is really well done...just lovely. V. |

Beautiful quilting!!! My opinion: I think you do need to fill in the blank spaces next to the feathers, keeping the density of the quilting equal. You may want to simply echo the feathers in the white space where you are able, extra echo quilting on the humps you are able to. The goal being to fill in, but keeping it simple and open like the rest of the feathers. What is not quilted is what will pop or stand out after it is washed. Please repost a picture after it is washed. I can't wait to see the final quilt, even if you leave it as is. Thanks! |
I recognise that block as "Carpenter's Wheel", one I particularly love and finally finished last month because it's been on my bucket list for a long time. I am new to FMQ and struggled too with how to quilt mine on machine and settled for a meander and just thrilled to have carried that one off. Of course your quilting puts mine to shame. It's just beautifully done and I'm reserving comment to see what some of the more experienced quilters recommend. The actually quilting part of a quilt usually perplexes me, and hoping I'll get more of a feel for it and how to use beautiful designs like you have. |

Awesome quilting! Was the fabric washed before using? If so, then yes, I think you'll want to fill in the puffy places a little bit. But, I'm far from being an expert. SharonG/FL |
Thanks everyone for the suggestions and the compliments. I've been almost two days without internet and going nuts! ;-) I went and bought MORE thread! Can't believe how much I've used already. Have to learn another skill to finish, but I'm game, just hoping I don't have to deal with any puckers now. I'd already signed up for a machine quilting class and went back to the store yesterday and looked at her samples. She echo quilted around her feathers and then did a small fill stitch of little kinda, c shapes. It looks good. Thought I'd practice a bit and if I can't figure it out the class is in two weeks and I'll just have to wait. Again, thanks for all the help. This group is great! |

On December 5, 2013, the University of Minnesota's Faculty Senate passed a resolution calling for an inquiry to examine the current policies, practices and oversight of clinical research on human subjects at the University of Minnesota, in particular clinical research involving adult participants with diminished functional abilities.
The Office of the Vice President for Research was charged by University President Eric Kaler to conduct the search, in collaboration with the University Faculty Senate, for the contractor to manage the inquiry with a panel of independent, outside experts.
After undergoing a rigorous selection process, the University has accepted the proposal by the Association for the Accreditation of Human Research Protection Programs, Inc. (AAHRPP) to logistically manage the independent inquiry process. The review will conclude in six months, and upon conclusion, the panel's report will be made public and reported back to the Faculty Senate by one or more of the experts serving on the investigative panel.
The University is dedicated to meeting, upholding and exceeding the highest ethical standards for human subject research, and we remain committed to ensuring that any and all mechanisms are in place to instill confidence among our faculty and the public that the University continues to meet the highest standards in its research practices.
Please see the following links for materials related to the Senate resolution, RFP process, and contractor proposal.

One is again reminded of Einstein's insights sometimes coming amid his imaginary "thought experiments"). The by-then double-doctor (PhD, MD), Schweitzer, reports he had been pondering and writing notes, "….struggling to find the elementary and universal concept of the ethical that I had not discovered in any philosophy…" Then, quite suddenly, "… there flashed upon my mind, unforeseen and unsought, the phrase : "Ehrfurcht vor dem Leben" ["Reverence for Life"].

LG has introduced their new Wireless Charging Pad (WCP-700). Unlike other wireless charging solutions, WCP-700 uses inductive coils in the battery door to absorb the charge from the charging mat placed under it.
WCP-700 is special in that it has a number of features including audible alerts. You will feel a quick vibration and hear a distinctive tone when your devices is placed correctly on the mat. Charging is effective only when your mobile device is within 7mm of mat's center.
There are some cool LED status indicators updates you on the charge without having to get up and check the phone by yourselves. A blue light indicates that WCP-700 is plugged in, orange light indicates that the mat is ready to charge your device, your phone is still charging if the light is a 'flashing green' and a solid green indicates that your mobile device has fully charged.
At 125 grams/4.4 ounces and dimensions of 0.4"H x 6.3"W x 3.5"D it isn't too big to carry around in your bag, which makes it very portable. The only short coming of this product perhaps right now is that it can charge only on device at a time. Perhaps that will change over time with improvements on the current technology.
Official Specs:
- Approximately two hours of charging time for standard smartphones
- Audible and tactile feedback when phone is properly placed on pad
- Multi Color LED indicated Charging Status
- Dimensions : 0.4"H x 6.3"W x 3.5"D
- Weight : 4.4 ounces
However, there's no word on the pricing as yet or availability of inductive battery doors but we expect LG's line up of smartphones to get inductive battery doors soon.
