Focus: Internationalization and Emerging Markets
Having recently returned from CeBIT in Hannover, Germany, where Jon "maddog" Hall of Linux International took excellent advantage of his precious opportunities to explain what Linux offers to key German cabinet members, I have a better understanding of the enthusiasm Western Europe reserves for Linux. Attendees who stopped by the Linux Journal booth to express their fervor included Dutch, German, English, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Belgian. But this is to be expected. What Linux enthusiast is unfamiliar with SuSE and Mandrake? Linux is, after all, the offspring of a European mind.
What has surprised me somewhat more is something I've discovered since beginning to work for Linux Journal--the impact Linux has had in other corners of the globe, in fact in every corner of the globe. For instance, what I found to be the most impressive Linux product displayed at CeBIT was neither European nor American, but the Mobile Multimedia Communicator offered by Galleo, an Israeli company. Of course I shouldn't have been surprised as Linux started as an international endeavor, a child of the Internet with little regard for geographical boundaries, and cost (except as it relates to internet connectivity) doesn't really constitute a barrier. As I'm sure our readers have noticed, our contributors reside in diverse parts of the world and face diverse computing challenges. Their solutions demonstrate the scalability and flexibity Linux offers.
In these pages Michael Stafford reviews The Hacker Ethic in which Linus Torvalds explains the entertainment value of hacking, the pleasure derived from computer creation. Perhaps this pleasure that so easily transcends national boundaries has something to do with the worldwide success of Linux. Linux, by nature of its flexibility and learning curve, encourages enthusiasm for hacking—something those who employ the more "user-friendly" OSes miss out on.
However, it's not all peace, love and Linux warm fuzzies as Wayne Marshall, in his article "Algorithms in Africa" on page 72 points out. Linux is perhaps best known for powering the Internet, and internet connectivity is behind the hopes to bridge the Digital Divide said to exist between developed nations and those termed Third World. Wayne, a favorite regular contributor who has been living in Guinea for some time, highlights the fact that the divide is less than digital, though still informational—and the Western world may be on the ignorant side.
John Biggs recently spent two years in Poland and in his article "Linux in Poland", on page 80, discusses to what point Linux has been embraced there and what obstacles remain.
Finally, Jorge Eduardo Nieto Lema reminds us of the potential advantages open-source software presents to nations having more important things to worry about than licensing fees. On page 82 he explains the Linux Terminal Server Project that allows setting up diskless workstations that boot from a Linux network server, a real boon to companies on a tight budget. Jorge tells of his experiences setting up the LTSP for a Colombian company and explains the installation.

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.

The automotive industry is really a small world, when you consider the smaller market share Volvo has across the entire range, it gets even smaller. I came to meet John Farris who owns Apex Restorations through our former Volvo tech here at ipd/RalliTEK, Eli. I was looking for a local V50 or S40 owner who wanted to upgrade their ECU using the ipd Softloader and use the experience to introduce the Softloader for the S40/V50/C30/C70 models. As it turns out John was searching for something else, with a recent trip to the dealer to replace the oil pan in his 2007 V50 AWD from curb damage just a few days before, he was more concerned about the skid plate I had recently been designing and heard about from Eli. Once we started talking and I mentioned ECU upgrades, protection took a back seat to performance. John shared with me that he was already an avid track driver with fully built Mazda RX7 as a play toy. Then on a recently scheduled track day he couldnt get the RX7 there, and his spouse had the V50, so what is a guy to do? He drove his Honda Element instead. John .. Its time to tune the V50.
We talked for a bit longer and added a high flow intake and one of our signature ipd rear sway bars to his ride to go along with the Softloader. His shop had already equipped his V50 with 18 custom painted wheels, lowering springs, tinted glass, body matched paint accents, and clear bra protection.
Once we got the vehicle down here to ipd we readout the ECU and sent the files off to Sweden for massaging. I scheduled time at the local AWD dyno shop and made sure our graphics/marketing genius Bryan Cottrell was ready to do some video and photo shooting of the car while we had it with us. We got into the dyno shop later the next day and made numerous passes both stock and then tuned to the MTE stage I files that we had received earlier that day. We were so happy with the power delivery at the wheels (especially considering this was an AWD model and had more parasitic loss from drag and inertia) I couldnt wait to get out on the road and see what it drove like.
The dyno shop is right off the 405 to I-5 interchange on the north side of downtown Portland so I jumped on the highway there, over the Freemont bridge, and ran the loop to the south interchange, kept the wheel to the right and came back around the horn. The car performed better than any other V50 Ive been in, some of that is due to the additional improvements like springs, and the rear sway bar but the overall engine performance was outstanding. MTE does a good amount of work smoothing the throttle application to keep power delivery predictable and controllable with the additional HP from boost development, this helps reduce unnecessary wheel spin from abrupt and jerky boost curves. I was happy and I knew John would be too.
With spring rapidly approaching and the local track here freshly repaved, there are certainly a few track days in this V50s future. At the time we went to press John had taken delivery of the car and was excited to see what it can do off the local highways were he can really push the limits. We look forward to seeing more from our favorite local V50, nicknamed Penguin.

First Book of Frags is being launched on Saturday 20th of April at 8 O'Clock in McGrattans Bar on Talbot Street with a introduction by Sean O'Reilly and a gala night of performance featuring Dave Lordan, Karl Parkinson and many more of Dublin's top spoken word artists.
The Iron Lady, below is taken from the new book.
The embedded video is another Frag, The F**king Titanic read by me using footage from the film 'A Night To Remember' (1958). The video was created by the film-maker Eamonn Crudden
According to Mel Ulm of The Reading Life, First Book of Frags is amazing, almost flabbergastingly original.
"Dave Lordan's First Book of Frags is experimental work of an accessible kind – unsentimental, original.[…] a wry sensibility throughout, reminiscent of the early stories of Peter Carey." — Patrick Chapman
The Iron Lady
When the Iron Lady died we melted her down immediately.
After some debate (coinage, medals, spearheads, a unique musical instrument, an elaborate candlestand…?) we decided to divide her and use her to make five Alloy Ladies.
These were the Cast Iron Lady, the Pig Iron lady, the Celestium Lady, Lady Cobalt and the Lady of Ferrovanadium.
We placed an Alloy Lady on a special display pedestal at each one of our Starfort's five points and floodlit them from below. They were martial hallucinations, ethereal and terrifyi.ng.
The Alloy Ladies were taken by many of our citizens to be representations of cult deities; unofficial grottoes sprung up. These were always garlanded with fresh rose and hydrangea bouquets, perfumed with jasmine and incense, illumined by the flames of gigantic votive candles. Some citizens started leaving notes of supplication, as well as coins and other wish-offerings, but this was put a stop to as it was untidy, attracted petty criminals, and generated mendicancy.

Congrats to Boubacar! Why soSubmitted by Bronze Venus (not verified) on Sat, 09/29/2012 - 8:17am.
Congrats to Boubacar! Why so much negativity? From the tone of it it's not just general concern. Yes, this may be his first year, but when your child first started playing sports did the coach say,"oh no, why can't we get someone with more experience?" When your child made the team the coach did not look at him or her and say "um, so you've only assisted? Yeah I don't have that much faith in you." The coach treated the players as players, PERIOD. You could try the same technique with him as a coach. Support him. He was assistant last year so I'm sure that counts for something. He is not cluless. GOOD LUCK COACH AW! You are in my prayers. Sincerely, *Go Gators* ;-) »

Father Jim's Camera Brings Justice, Again

Posted to: Legal Writes, Fair Haven
The last time Father James Manship whipped out his camera to capture wrongdoing, his video helped lead to a federal probe of mendacious East Haven cops who harassed immigrants.
Sunday Manship pulled out his camera again—and helped cops catch an allegedly out-of-control dirt-biker who harasses Fair Haveners.
Manship (pictured at right), the priest at St. Rose of Lima Church, was on his way back from picking up a burrito from a new eatery at Ferry and Lombard ("Good food; I highly recommend it") when he had to stop his car at the corner of Poplar and Saltonstall at around 4:30 p.m. Sunday. A dirt-biker was in the intersection "popping wheelies, spinning around," Manship said.
Manship knew that dirt-bikers have been giving fits to neighbors and cops all over town with reckless driving.
He also remembered some personal advice from Sgt. Anthony Zona, until recently the head cop in Fair Haven, about how to deal with young people causing trouble: "If you get a picture, send it to us, so school resource officers can identify them."
So Manship, who was wearing his clerical collar, took out his cellphone.
"Just as I was taking his picture [with the cellphone], he looked right at me," Manship said. "That's how I got his picture. He charged the car with the bike. I thought he was going to hit me. Instead, he came up—and spit right on me."
"Did he just do what I think he just did?" Manship thought to himself. Meanwhile, the dirt-biker fled.
Manship forwarded the photos to Zona's replacement as top Fair Haven cop, Sgt. Herb Johnson, who in turn distributed the photos to his beat cops. They recognized the 20-year-old man in the photos. They got an arrest warrant signed then tracked the man down at Criscuolo Park, where they arrested him. They charged him with threatening, breach of peace, reckless driving, and driving without a license. They also charged him similar offenses in connection with a separate April 7 incident. The man, who is on probation for burglary, posted a $30,000 bond and was released.
"I showed the picture to a couple of our folks [at the church]. They recognized the guy," Manship said later. "These guys really are out of control. They can hurt other people. It depends on residents of the neighborhood to help the cops identify who these people are," Manship said.
Back in 2009, Father Manship video-recorded an East Haven cop asking him why he was pointing a "camera" at him. The cop arrested Manship and confiscated the camera—claiming he thought Manship had pointed a "shiny object" at him. Manship was investigating wide-scale police harassment of Latino immigrants in East Haven; that incident sparked years of investigation and arrests and a shake-up of the department.
Scooter Rider Busted: Meanwhile, at Columbus and Washington avenues in the Hill Saturday afternoon police arrested a scooter rider who ended up having eight-balls of crack on him as well as a loaded .45 caliber pistol (loaded and cocked) with identifying marks scratched out. The scooter, too, was unregistered. He'd been driving recklessly, police said.
Man Allegedly Beats Girlfriend, Shoots Her Uncle: A 52-year-old man is in "critical bust stable" condition Monday after suffering a heart attack following a confrontation with a man who allegedly beat his niece.
The uncle went to Peck Street some time after midnight Monday morning after the niece reported that her 31-year-old boyfriend had assaulted her. The uncle confronted the man, who shot him in the groin and then fled in a grey Ford Escort wagon, according to police.
Police went looking for the boyfriend. Officer Gene Trotman spotted the car at Church and Chapel and stopped the car; the boyfriend was a passenger. Police arrested him and said they found him with a .9mm Springfield Armory XD pistol. The boyfriend, a convicted felon, was wanted for a parole violation and was being sought by the State Parole Division Fugitive Unit," according to police spokesman Officer David Hartman.

Kudos to Father Jim. The dirt bikers and quad riders were out of control Sunday in my neighborhood; up and down the Boulevard all afternoon in large packs. They produce obnoxious noise and fumes and are dangerous. They define lawlessness. It is clear that the police cannot solve this problem alone. Community Policing is a two way street. The solution is to enforce a community standard and that can be done in conjunction with the police. The community needs to stand up and take Father Manship's kind of action. These kids (and not so kids) are intimidating-it takes courage to stand up to them. Father Manship admirably displayed it and its up to the rest of us to emulate him.

Good. Even through theres little chance a guy like that will ever behave like an adult, its good to see adults who are acting like children accountable to the law like adults.
posted by: FrontStreet on April 29, 2013 7:56pm
Which just begs the question: if a priest is able to gather enough evidence on his cell phone to bring charges, why can't NHPD beat police do the same? Yes, hopefully, thanks to efforts of community activists, Elicker, and Looney, we will have legislation from Hartford enabling the police department to charge $2000 for retrieval of dirtbikes after confiscation. But that law won't be in effect until the summer of 2014. In the mean time, the dirtbikers have begun to terrorize our neighborhoods again. Does Esserman care about this issue? I've never heard or read peep from him about the dirtbike problem.

Last Sunday I was driving on Gran Avenue and Ferry around 2:00pm and I saw two guys with their dirt bikes wearing mountain black masks. It was a lot of traffic since Sunday's afternoon that corner is full of families buying their groceries.

If we only had a dirt bike park, none of this would ever happen.
(There is this bridge in Brooklyn, I hear it is for sale.)
posted by: Fairhavener on April 29, 2013 9:59pm
Where's Chief Esserman's voice on all of this—not a peep so far as far as how and when the NHPD plans to deal with this in a systemic way. This is as glaring a broken window as I've witnessed in New Haven. Moreover, Mr. Stone has had his video on how to brazenly break the law on the Internet for months, why wasn't this enough to catch him before? See "New Haven Bikelife Layron" on Youtube.
Lastly, the scooter rider incident is most worrying. We have unlicensed, unregistered dirt bike/atv/scooter riders that already ride with impunity that in addition feel they can also carry loaded unregistered weapons?

If you can afford a to put up the $3,000 for a $30k bond, why in god's name you were burglarizing places beforehand?

Are roadblocks in neighborhoods where you know this is going to happen not an option?
posted by: Curious on April 30, 2013 9:13am
Harlem, Baltimore, and Philly all have dirt bike/ATV problems, and they have developed tip lines and email reporting to help shut it down.
The community is even using Facebook. Too bad the PD didn't get that social media/communications post they were looking to add.
posted by: Curious on May 1, 2013 9:09am
Another idea…
We have cameras on the poles at a LOT of intersections in town.
Can't the police follow these bikers and note the time and place they all pass by a camera, then preserve that footage and analyze it to see how these people are?
Heck, SeeClickFix might even be able to help. If people snap a pic and mark the time that the bikers drove by, then police could get that information and review the footage from that intersection at that time.
posted by: Claudia Herrera on May 1, 2013 9:34am
Video cameras, photos and writing the dirt bike plate soon are not going to work to help bring these people to face consequences.
Now they are wearing black masks during the day too!
The policy should be working, with the city legal department to start an strategy NOW. The community in general are more terrorized of their actions than bother for the noise. It has to be laws to attract to these individuals from other legal angle.
If not we are going to have a "hell summer".

LVDT Sensor Modeling and Signal Conditioning Design
Product Demo
This presentation shows how the VHDL-AMS modeling language can be used to model a "multi-physics" sensor component: A Linear Variable Differential Transformer (LVDT). The model is based on fundamental textbook equations, but it can be characterized to match actual LVDT datasheet specifications. This model is then used to analyze performance trade-offs for various analog and digital signal conditioning circuits and algorithms. These include an analog rectifier/low-pass filter, a digital phase demodulation method, as well as the unique ratiometric algorithm of a commercial AD598 LVDT Signal Conditioning IC. Simulation is used to quantify the degradation effects of a long cable run, between the sensor and the conditioning circuit. Temperature variations cause the cable resistance to change, which generally leads to position measurement errors. Parametric analysis techniques are used to identify the design that is most effective at mitigating these environmental disturbance errors.

After running 600 miles on Memorial Day weekend — 900 for Kurt Busch — Sprint Cup drivers could use a break.Start Slideshow
Instead, they get a trip to Dover, which is no picnic. At least they get to run 400 miles instead of the old 500-mile marathons at the Monster Mile.
The long, grueling Sprint Cup schedule gets even tougher from there, with trips to Pocono and Michigan followed by a cross-country journey to Northern California.

Several drivers need a bit of a break after tough weekends, including Busch, who ran more than 900 miles between Charlotte and Indy, and Jeff Gordon, who ran 600 miles despite an ailing back.
While Busch and Gordon are no doubt sore, others have a sore disposition after mechanical trouble or just poor performances at Charlotte.
NASCAR's longest race took a toll on our Power Rankings. Here's how.
PHOTOS: Coca-Cola 600 | Patriotism in NASCAR
After winning at Kansas, Gordon slipped to seventh at Charlotte, but how do you drop a guy who ran 600 miles with an ailing back? Gordon had a chance to win the Coca-Cola 600 but his two-tire strategy didn't work out. Instead, he settled for a top-10 finish to hang onto his points lead.Next
His back pain is troubling, though. Surely Gordon's best season in years isn't going to get derailed by an injury.

There are two common themes developing for Harvick. One, he is fast every week. Two, his pit crew keeps costing him chances to win. Harvick led 100 laps and finished second at Charlotte but was understandably miffed that another mistake on pit road cost him a chance to win.Next
He continues to be one of the most dominant drivers this year and should have at least twice as many victories as he does.

After weeks of ridiculous questions about why he hasn't won yet, Johnson hushed his critics with a dominating performance in the Coca-Cola 600. So guess what? He's back, although he never really went anywhere.Next
Now that Johnson has snapped that long, 13-race winless streak, he's likely to go on a tear, especially with another one of his best tracks coming up. Soon the media will start asking if anyone can stop Johnson again.

Now it's Kenseth's turn to snap out of his winless streak (20 races) and all will be right with the world. Kenseth's "slump" is a bit more alarming considering that he won seven races and was dominant last year. It's not as if he's running badly, though. His third-place finish at Charlotte was his fourth top-five and series-high ninth top-10. He should win soon, possibly this weekend at Dover.Next
Despite all the talk that he's all but gone from Roush Fenway Racing after this season, Edwards keeps plugging along and scoring solid finishes. He was fourth at Charlotte to climb to fourth in the standings.Next
As long as the contract talks and rumors don't become a distraction, he should remain a contender for wins and the championship. -
Logano had a rare off week at Charlotte, failing to lead a lap and finishing 12th. With two wins and a series-high six top-five finishes, that was just a speed bump for Logano, who should get back on track at Dover.Next
Busch has three top-fives and six top-10s and is third in the standings. He has led just 183 laps, however, which is eighth best among all drivers. That is not the Rowdy we are accustomed to. Consistency is nice, but Busch likely will get antsy if he's not back up front soon.Next
Earnhardt and his fans suffered a big letdown at Charlotte — even his donkey was not happy. Earnhardt ran in the top five most of the race and believes his car was fast enough to win at the end. But his car picked up a vibration, started running hot and he had to pit for an unexplained mechanical problem. Turns out, he might have been OK and nursed his car home in 19th.Next
The good news is that Earnhardt was fast again. If he keeps running up front, another win will come.

Vickers continues to impress in his first full season with Michael Waltrip Racing. He finished sixth at Charlotte to climb to eighth in points. He has his eye on that July 13 race at New Hampshire, where he won last year.Next
Keselowski led 43 laps and was in position to win the race on fuel mileage until a late caution foiled his plan. Keselowski keeps creeping into contention to win. The problem is, he's doing it too often on pit strategy and not speed.Next
Kahne's two weeks at Charlotte pretty much sum up his whole season. He had the fastest car in the Sprint All-Star race but smacked the wall late in the race. He was expected to contend again in the 600, but missed his pit box on his first pit stop, went a lap down and never recovered, finishing 14th. Kahne is good enough to win, but his team makes too many mistakes and sometimes he can't get out of his own way.Next
Newman remains in the top 10 in the standings, but he's doing it by just finishing races. He has just two top-10 finishes (eighth and 10th) in his last nine races and doesn't look close to winning.Next
Larson wore out the field in the Nationwide race at Charlotte, but couldn't carry it over to the Coca-Cola 600. Chalk it up to another rookie lesson.Next
Rumors are now starting to swirl that Biffle might leave Roush, too. It doesn't help such speculation when he continues to struggle on the track. He's finished 16th at Kansas and 21st at Charlotte in his last two races, both at tracks where he should be a contender.Next
Almirola led a lap and ran in the top 10 much of the race before finishing 11th at Charlotte. He's put together three solid finishes (13th, eighth, 11th), but can he and Richard Petty Motorsports keep it up?Next
With six top-10 finishes in 12 races — his career-high is nine — Menard is well on his way to the best season of his career. The question is, can he keep it up? He's been prone to summer swoons throughout his career.Next
Nine months after suffering a severely broken leg, Stewart climbed back into a sprint car last week. Yeah, that's just what he needs to curb his struggles in NASCAR. Or maybe it is. Stewart has just four top-10 finishes and is 22nd in points after his 13th-place finish at Charlotte. He usually heats up this time of year, but there are no signs of it on the horizon.Next
Once again, Bowyer can't buy a break and can't sustain any kind of momentum. He was confident after winning the Sprint Showdown to make the all-star race and was strong early in the Coca-Cola 600. But he had to pit twice for a vibration and ruined his mood and his night. He has finished 23rd and 17th the past two weeks on tracks he expected to do well at. His luck has to turn soon.Next
Dillon finished a respectable 16th at Charlotte — another decent finish for a rookie still finding his way. At least he finished ahead of rookie rival Kyle Larson for the first time in six weeks and just the fourth time all season.Next
With just three top-10 finishes all season, it's time to start asking questions about Hamlin. Is his back really healed? Did he take too many hard hits last season? Or is there some other problem preventing him from running up front on a regular basis like he used to?Next
Funny how some drivers just excel at certain tracks. For McMurray, it's Charlotte, where he won the Sprint All-Star Race and finished fifth in the 600. McMurray had been struggling so badly that he slumped to 24th in points and fell out of our Power Rankings. Two weeks in Charlotte cured those ills.Next
Mears has just one top-10 but he keeps finishing races in the middle of the pack, and that's enough to keep him in our Power Rankings — for now.Next
Ambrose's Twisted Tear Ford was twisted at Charlotte, causing him to spin out and finish 29th. Note to Ambrose: don't take that car to Sonoma or Watkins Glen.Next
Busch was the star of the week, finishing sixth in his first IndyCar race and Indy 500. That did little, though, to help his Sprint Cup team, which had all sorts of problems and finally blew an engine, leading to a sixth straight dismal finish for Busch. With his NASCAR struggles and the way he ran at Indy, you have to wonder if Busch might not start thinking about going to IndyCar full time.

Police bust 11 teens at underage party
Wednesday, April 30, 2014
SOUTH BERWICK, Maine — Police charged 11 teenagers with alcohol offenses Saturday night after breaking up a house party on Great Works Drive.
Tip lines for the York and Kittery area are in the works but not yet set up, according to a coalition news release. North Berwick also is considering the program.
Officers broke up the party without incident and charged 11 people who allegedly had been drinking. The teens were taken to the police station and released to their parents. |

Fed Talking Heads to Dominate Week: Dave's Daily
Let's see, throughout the week Fed governors will be making speeches: Dennis Lockhart (two speeches), Charles Evans (two speeches), Esther George, John Williams, Charles Plosser and Jeffrey Lacker. This is part of their transparency mission and/or a campaign to pump-up investor confidence. You choose.
Talking heads aside earnings will be front and center. Alcoa (AA) just reported another loss. They maintain their habit of delivering results ex-everything one can imagine. With negative preannouncements analysts were busy downgraded their expectations allowing the company's report to meet expectations. After hours the stock is up a little with Inspector Clouseau perhaps trading the news. Juniper Networks (JNPR) reported an earnings miss and barely budged after being much higher during trading. The semiconductor sector (SOXX) jumped on an upgrade from Deutsche Bank. Netflix (NFLX) shares soared after hedge fund manager Whtney Tilson said on CNBC the firm is a likely takeover target. No doubt Whitney is long and wants you to be long too.
The only economic headline Monday was a report that consumer debt expanded by, wait for it, the largest amount ($20 billion) since November 2011. Seriously? Let's focus on the previous date. The previous high was just after 9/11 when consumers were just coming out for air. This is a misleading headline. If it isn't then it has more to do with new car buying. The dollar, euro and gold were essentially flat on Monday. Bonds were stable as was crude oil as tensions remain high with Iran. Volume was (where is everybody?) ultra-light while breadth per the WSJ was positive. Follow our pithy comments on twitter and join the banter with me on facebook.

Richard Thompson Wins Lashley Award
USC College memory expert joins 'who's who in neuroscience' honored by American Philosophical Society.
Richard Thompson, holder of the William M. Keck Chair in Biological Sciences in USC College and one of the leading behavioral neuroscientists in the world, will receive the 2007 Karl Spencer Lashley Award from the American Philosophical Society on Nov. 9 in Philadelphia.
The Lashley Award is one of the most prestigious prizes in behavioral neuroscience, said Michael Quick, executive vice dean for academic affairs for USC College.
"It is probably the top prize in behavioral neuroscience and one of the top two or three awards given in the entire field of understanding the brain," Quick said. "The list of prior winners reads like a who's who in neuroscience. People like Roger Sperry, Eric Kandel, Torsten Wiesel and David Hubel, all winners of the Nobel Prize, were recipients of the Lashley Prize.
"I can't say that I was shocked to hear that Professor Thompson won this award. Very very happy, but not surprised. Professor Thompson has spent his career identifying the neural basis of learning and memory, and for his entire career his laboratory has been at the forefront of answering this very difficult question. I can't think of a more deserving recipient."
Thompson already holds many honors, including a seat on the 24-member National Science Board and membership in the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, as well as the American Philosophical Society.
Receiving the Karl Spencer Lashley Award is particularly meaningful for Thompson because the influential behavioral psychologist is a longtime hero of his. As an undergraduate at Reed College, Thompson devoted his senior thesis to testing one of Lashely's hypotheses. When Thompson was on the faculty at Harvard University in the 70s, he held a chair that had last been occupied by Lashley.
"It's very special for me," Thompson said. "He was the man who started my field in the United States."
Thompson, professor of psychology and biological sciences, has spent nearly a half century studying the physical basis of memory, specifically the memory involved in classical conditioning.
Made famous by Russian psychologist Ivan Pavlov with his salivating dog experiments, classical conditioning theory showed that animals can be taught to anticipate a reward.
In 2002, Thompson became the first to identify and map the neural circuits involved in classical conditioning.
In addition, Thompson and others have shown that the brain saves a memory by strengthening the synapses, or connections between neurons. Neurons also create new synapses during the learning process, which Thompson defines as the creation of memory.
Memory: The Key to Consciousness (Joseph Henry Press), a collaboration with longtime colleague Stephen Madigan of USC College, was published in 2005.
As the winner of the Lashley Award, Thompson will receive a hand-illuminated certificate and $20,000 honorarium.

no kidding around
Posted by Mark J. Miller on November 1, 2011 01:02 PM
The American Beverage Association is keeping busy these days as cities and states threaten to put extra taxes on sugary drinks and other entities try to reduce consumption of the organization members' products.
The latest battle for ABA is to dispute a study that was released Monday by Yale University's Rudd Center for Food Policy & Obesity that shows that "U.S. children and teenagers are seeing far more soda advertising than before, with blacks and Hispanics the major targets, as marketers have expanded online," according to Reuters.
"This report is another attack by known critics in an ongoing attempt to single out one product as the cause of obesity when both common sense and widely accepted science have shown that the reality is far more complicated," said ABA CEO Susan Neely in a statement.
Neely's main weapon in response to the Yale Rudd Center's Sugary Drink F.A.C.T.S. (short for Food Advertising to Children and Teens Score) report is opposing research by Georgetown Economic Services for the Grocery Manufacturers Association and the Association of National Advertisers that "showed that between 2004 and 2010, advertisements for soft drinks decreased by 96 percent, while those for fruit and vegetable juices increased by 199 percent," Reuters reports.
Meanwhile, Yale's report has it that "children's and teens' exposure to full-calorie soda ads on television doubled from 2008 to 2010, fueled by increases from Coca-Cola Co. and Dr Pepper Snapple Group Inc.," according to Reuters. And those numbers are much higher for black and Hispanic kids (causing some consternation in the Latino community) and teens as well.
"Our children are being assaulted by these drinks that are high in sugar and low in nutrition," said Yale's Kelly Brownell. "The companies are marketing them in highly aggressive ways."
Brownell objects to the fact that consumers interact with brands for much longer periods online than they would when watching a 30-second television commercial, pointing to the fact that least 21 different sugary drink brands have YouTube channels, which had collected more than 229 million views by June 2011. On Facebook, the biggest brand page (Coca-Cola) has more than 30 million fans.
Yale's Rudd Center is also spreading its views on YouTube, Facebook and Twitter to try to educate teens, caregivers, teachers and others about what they see as insidious marketing by beverage manufacturers.

Interview: Writer Bryan Fuller Talks Reinventing Stephen King's CARRIE and Reflections on VOYAGER!
Typhon Station is a very fastpaced PBeM RPG with skilled, experienced players and a warm sense of bonding and community. We play at the turn-of-the-century, 2400, and are located in the Typhon Expanses, bordering the Neutral Zone, proximate to the Romulan Empire, and near the Iconian Digs, and are on the first warning route of the original Borg Incursion. We have three stations to post from, SB 185, USS Odyssey, and USS Wraith. They all have general and particular storylines and all interact. This game is not for the faint of heart! The writing is superb and comes hot and heavy. We have some open spots and also we will consider character suggestions. So, longtime RPGers and novices, check us out. See if you want to make Typhon Station your home away from home.(0 comments | Add)
Written by Steve Krutzler
After finishing at the University of Southern California's prestigious film school, Bryan Fuller went on to become one of the formative influences in STAR TREK: VOYAGER. He freelanced two episodes for DEEP SPACE NINE's fifth season ("The Darkness and the Light" and "Empok Nor") before becoming a writer and eventual co-producer on VOYAGER. Contributing such memorable episodes as "Drone," "Living Witness," "Bride of Chaotica!," "One Small Step" and "Friendship One," Fuller brought a desire to break format and tell stories outside the traditional norm.
Since VOY ended in 2001 the writer has been busy, developing his own series for Showtime and writing the screenplay for an updated version of Stephen King's CARRIE, airing on NBC Monday November 4th, at 8/7c. TrekWeb caught up with Bryan to get the scoop behind this horror classic, his reflections on VOYAGER and his prescription for Captain Janeway.
TW: Tell us about CARRIE, your new version airing on NBC Monday the 4th of November. What attracted you to this project, the latest of several Stephen King remakes?
BF: I [had] just finished writing a pilot for MGM called "Dead Like Me" (formerly titled "Dead Girl") and the studio was very happy with the script. They asked if I would be interested in doing a remake of Carrie and giving it an updated spin. I of course flipped. You have no idea what a huge Stephen King fan I am. His books were a cornerstone of my adolescence. If we were playing Sophie's Choice with my fandom and I had to choose Trek or King, I would chose King every time. One of the reasons I was so attracted to this project is that it was a veritable minefield. There were so many ways it could go wrong. I was just as pissed off by Carrie 2: The Rage as anybody else and was determined not to let that happen again. I felt if I was involved I might be able to prevent it from becoming a schlock fest -- which both MGM and NBC desperately wanted to avoid. As far as it being another in a long line of recent Stephen King remakes, I wasn't daunted. Dead Zone has proven itself and is quite successful both in terms of what Mister A.C. Neilsen has to say and what Michael Piller and his posse have done creatively. [TDZ] showed me that if you are true to the source material and have a quality product, you will find an audience.
TW: David Livingston was the line producer on CARRIE. Did you visit the set at all and did you and David ever work together on VOYAGER or DS9?
BF: I worked with David Livingston several times on Star Trek as a director and sincerely feel he is one of the best directors episodic Trek has ever had. David Carson (director GENERATIONS, CARRIE, -ed.), however, I had never worked with before. I phoned Rick Berman when we were considering Carson for the job and he gave him a glowing recommendation. Rick said without hesitation that David Carson would give us an amazing movie and he was right. I was on the set all but 5 or 6 days of the 35+ day shoot. It was an amazing experience to work with a director as truly gifted as David Carson.
TW: What sets this CARRIE adaptation apart from its predecessor?
BF: The remake has always been about going back to the book and grounding the characters and situations in a grittier post-Columbine reality. The Brian DePalma version has a wonderful fairy tale quality to it. It's a much more innocent film than our remake in many ways. Whereas the characters in the original are very clearly drawn in black and white, we had fun playing them more ambiguously. Sissy Spacek's Carrie is very naive and very much the innocent. Angela Bettis' Carrie is still the innocent but she knows the score and doesn't have any delusions as to who she is and where she stands in this high school society. Piper Laurie's Margaret was off her rocker and clearly insane, Patricia Clarkson plays the same role much closer to her vest with a quiet intensity that's just as unnerving. A lot of the differences in the two versions can be boiled down to attitude, and our attitude was greatly informed by the times in which we are living. Brian DePalma's version is indicative of the 70's era of waning innocence. Our version has a harder-hitting quality of LOST innocence -- we simply don't have the same perception of high school violence that we used to.
What's great about this version of Carrie is that you have essentially the same story, but you have scenes that were in the book that weren't in the movie. What's more you have scenes that weren't in either the original or the book and that are only in this version. This gives us a little more insight into the characters and why they do the things they do.
TW: Can you give us an example of an element or scene that's entirely new in your CARRIE?
BF: This version of Carrie begins two weeks after prom night. This allows us to use the convention of a criminal investigation into the events of Prom Night to tell the story from the perspective of various survivors. This approximates the narrative device of the book that tells the story of the original movie through flashbacks with added information shared by the survivors ten years after the fact. It's as if authorities didn't know Klebold and Harris were responsible for Columbine and are trying to figure out why all these teenagers died and who is responsible. In this case, the Nancy Allen (Chris) and John Travolta (Billy) characters (now played by Emilie De Raven of Roswell fame and Jesse Cadotte) are essentially the Klebold and Harris of Chamberlain, Maine but what happened was so huge and so unexplainable nobody knows for certain. In addition to this, we have new scenes between Carrie and Sue Snell, Carrie and Chris, and Carrie and her mother that deepen the motivations for these characters. It was particularly interesting to delve into the mind of the bully and rationalize her behavior. Naturally, I tapped into my own anti-religious sentiments and made Chris' motivations a little clearer: she loathes Carrie not because she's a harmless geek but because she's a deeply religious person. Chris is threatened by that. Religion pisses her off and she takes it out on Carrie, who personifies what she hates. We also get to see a little more of the positive side of religion. This was inspired by a conversation with David Keith who asked that there be at least one scene that portrayed religious people a little more sympathetically and a little less like fanatical nuts. So you get to see that side of Carrie, as well.
TW: What's the story behind your Showtime series?
BF: "Dead Girl" is now called "Dead Like Me." It's about a young girl who has no idea what she wants to do with her life. She ends up dying and becomes a grim reaper. I worked very closely with Joe developing stories for the show should it go to series. He is a fountain of ideas and truly one of the most creative people I have ever met. Joe [Menosky] wrote a script for Dead Like Me called "Doggie Style" and if we do go to series, it will be the second episode after the pilot. I hope it's his first of many. We just focus-tested "Dead Like Me" yesterday and it went very well. We'll know soon if we're going to series. Keep your fingers crossed.
TW: Which do you prefer: horror or sci-fi?
BF: Actually I prefer to meld those genres. The movie that really turned me onto science-fiction was Alien, and it's actually just as much horror as it is sci-fi. The setting was science-fiction but the situation was horror. I look at Carrie the same way. Psycho-kinesis or any other paranormal mental ability is very much a science-fiction convention but what's done with it in Carrie is very much horror. And I know this is going to damage my credibility, but I enjoyed the hell out of "Jason X" and that was primarily because of the science-fiction twists the writer added to the Friday the 13th mythos. But if we're just talking about purebreds, I'd have to say I prefer horror.
TW: Many of Brannon Braga's early TREK scripts were firmly rooted in ideas that might be considered closer to horror than sci-fi. Did that help develop a friendship relationship between the two of you on VOYAGER or was the difference in hierarchy too much to surmount?
BF: The writing staff worked very closely on Voyager and since Brannon and I share a lot of the same sensibilities it was only natural that we became good friends. The hierarchy was not always insurmountable. At times it was wonderful because we were just a bunch of people with like-minded interests in a room trying to tell some really cool stories. Other times the hierarchy was a huge pain in the ass that left you with the desire to slap a few select people.
TW: What are some of your favorite Bryan Fuller VOYAGER episodes?
BF: There are a few that I'm very proud of. "Barge of the Dead," "Course: Oblivion," "Bride of Chaotica," and "Mortal Coil" are among my favorites. Naturally, I love the ones that have a bit more of a horror element to them better like "Barge" and "Course: Oblivion."
TW: You seem to like breaking the format of TREK with episodes like Chaotica and off-beat almost fatalistic installments like Course: Oblivion. What is an idea you vigorously wanted to do on VOY and never could because of politics or otherwise?
BF: I really wanted to do the episode where the entire crew died and was harvested by those aliens that reanimate other species' dead to propagate their own race. That story eventually became "Workforce" which I felt was a little lacking. Alas.
TW: VOY is often lambasted for producing perhaps only a season's worth of classic, valuable STAR TREK, How do you respond and what do you think the series' ultimate legacy will be?
BF: To be fair, I'd say there were at least two, maybe even three, seasons of classic valuable Trek from Voyager. I think the show's ultimate legacy would be the uneasy relationship between Janeway and Seven of Nine and The Doctor. The best episodes of the series always somehow revolved around one of those three characters. For me, the dynamic between Janeway and Seven of Nine was (and I know I'll get knocked in the head for this) much deeper and much more interesting than the friendship between Spock and Kirk. Spock and Kirk are fantastic characters but their friendship was never the powder keg that existed between Janeway and Seven.
TW: What do you mean "powderkeg?" Give us an example from an episode that really galvanizes this notion for you.
BF: "Prey" is the first episode that really illustrated the great things to come between these two characters. Seven was always disobeying orders to do what she felt was best for any given situation. She couldn't care less about diplomacy or the prime directive, and that made her the perfect foil for Janeway.
TW: Do you think Kathryn Janeway should have an insane asylum named after her? What kind of feelings did the staff have when they read fan reactions that decried the uneven and erratic portrayal of Janeway throughout the series?
BF: I think Janeway's uneven and erratic characterization is what made her real. People are not even-tempered. People are not always stable, especially when they're cut off from the chain of command. Kate Mulgrew gave Janeway a sense of danger and unpredictability. I loved that about her. You never knew when this lady was going to go ballistic on your ass so you better not screw with her and that's that. She was a loose cannon and I wouldn't have it any other way. I think it's unfortunate that fans missed out on one of the most interesting attributes of her character and felt it was a flaw.
TW: Let's talk ENTERPRISE. Would you have been interested in joining Brannon's staff or were you ready to move on?
BF: To be absolutely honest, I was very much ready to move on. That's not to say I wouldn't have stayed if circumstances were different. I love Star Trek and will always love Star Trek, but it's not my show and that was very frustrating at times. Rick and Brannon knew I was frustrated and they could sense my creative interest in the show was definitely beginning to wane. We parted on very good terms and I have a tremendous amount of respect for both Rick and Brannon and hope to work with them again.
TW: Where do you see yourself in ten years?
BF: In ten years I hope to be doing more of the same of what I'm doing now. I'm really having a great time in my life and career right now. I hope to sustain it for as long as possible.

text: 'Kiss This Guy': Spotify's 10 most misquoted songsBy Doug Gross, CNNUpdated 4:46 PM ET, Thu July 11, 2013Excuse him while he does what? Jimi Hendrix's "Purple Haze" is among Spotify's songs most often misquoted.Story highlightsSpotify polled listeners for the songs whose lyrics they most often hear incorrectly"Blinded By the Light" topped list with its mistaken line, "wrapped up like a douche"Jimi Hendrix, the Clash and Elton John also made the listFive percent of respondents said they never get lyrics wrong. Liars.There's no bathroom on the right, and Jimi Hendrix never asked to be excused so he could kiss a dude. And, no, no matter how blinded by the light you may have been, you weren't wrapped up like ... a feminine hygiene product.But all those are among the world's most frequently misquoted song lyrics -- at least according to Spotify.The popular music-streaming service conducted an unscientific poll to find the most commonly botched lines from popular songs. (Of course, nobody had to fess up to getting the words wrong themselves. The poll, of 1,042 people, asked for the songs they most commonly hear other people singing incorrectly.)The winner? By a long shot, Manfred Mann's Earth Band confused the most folks with "Blinded By the Light," the 1976 hit written and first recorded by Bruce Springsteen. Fifty-two percent of respondents reported hearing "Wrapped up like a douche/when you're rollin' in the night" instead of the correct lyric: "Revved up like a deuce/another runner in the night."Manfred Mann's Earth Band performs in 2012 in Cologne, Germany. We bet the crowd sang along incorrectly.Listen: Spotify's top misquoted song lyricsJimi Hendrix took the second spot (19%) with his line "Excuse me while I kiss the sky," from "Purple Haze" being confused for the less abstract, albeit more open-minded, "Excuse me while I kiss this guy."And in third place, 14% of respondents said they've heard "Rock the Casbah," by The Clash, mangled into "Rock the Cat Box."We're not happy about these garbled lyrics, either.Seventy percent of respondents said they get annoyed hearing other people sing lyrics wrong. They said the most common places they hear frustratingly mangled wording is concerts (34%), followed by karaoke bars (23%), public transportation (20%) and the office (18%).Also ... hubris alert. Five percent of the people who responded to the poll said they "never" get lyrics wrong themselves. (Might we suggest some early R.E.M. to remedy that?)Here's the rest of Spotify's top 10:No, Elton John didn't sing, "Hold me closer, Tony Danza."-- "Tiny Dancer," Elton John. "Hold me closer, Tony Danza." Actual lyric: "Hold me closer, tiny dancer."-- "Bad Moon Rising," Creedence Clearwater Revival. "There's a bathroom on the right." Actual lyric: "There's a bad moon on the rise."-- "Paradise City," Guns N' Roses. "Take me down to a very nice city." Actual lyric: "Take me down to the Paradise City."-- "Panama," Van Halen. "Animal!" Actual lyric: "Panama!"-- "Like a G-6," Far East Movement. "Like a cheese stick." Actual lyric: "Like a G-6."-- "Waterfalls," TLC. "Don't go, Jason Waterfalls." Actual lyric: "Don't go chasing waterfalls."-- "I Try," Macy Gray. "I blow bubbles when you are not here."
