Air Travel: Routine No More
Published: September 30, 2001
(Page 2 of 2)
At San Jose International Airport, Julie Stewart, a marketing manager from Carlsbad, Calif., was not so lucky. An inspector took everything out of her small suitcase and garment bag, the contents in view of other passengers. ''I totally understand that they have to do this, but I think they should do it in a private room,'' she said.
For travelers who have dealt with their fears and returned to the skies, perhaps the greatest surprise in the days since Sept. 11 is that -- with several notable exceptions -- getting through an airport can be remarkably quick and simple these days.
Because of the disastrous drop in passenger traffic and new rules barring anyone without a boarding pass from entering secure areas, many airports are all but deserted. While an empty terminal might seem eerie to travelers, it can also mean short lines at check-in counters and X-ray security posts, even at airports where the X-ray inspections are much tighter than before.
In Detroit, Kenneth A. Levy, vice president for corporate communications for DaimlerChrysler, said that he used to leave his office to catch a flight at Metropolitan Airport with only minutes to spare.
But he thought that those days were over in light of the tightened security. So when he was booked on a 7:30 p.m. flight to La Guardia several days ago, he showed up two hours early, only to discover the airport mostly empty. It took him 15 minutes to check in and pass through security, leaving him more than an hour and a half to spare.
''We got here three hours early and there was only one person in front of me,'' said Sarah Bishop, a Delta passenger headed from Salt Lake City to her home in Olympia, Wash. ''It took me 10 minutes to check in.''
On board, passengers typically find planes as empty as airport terminals; many airlines report reservations down by over 40 percent. And many travelers report that the mood on board is noticeably tense.
There have been several instances since Sept. 11 in which panicky airplane crews and passengers have insisted that fellow passengers of Middle Eastern ancestry be removed from planes. In all cases, the targets of the suspicions were found to pose no threat; several were American citizens.
The tightened security measures reach into the galley, where knives and other sharp kitchen implements have been removed. As a result, some airlines are serving presliced meat and cheese.
America West has ended all food service, saying it would ''expedite our boarding processing in the midst of heavy security measures.'' To cut costs, American and its T.W.A. subsidiary are ending meal service in coach on most domestic flights. (Airlines discuss plans to curtail meals, Page 3.)
Even reading material on board is under review. United Airlines removed all copies of its Hemispheres in-flight magazine from its planes and airport lounges after discovering that the September issue carried a photo of the World Trade Center.

Robot Snake Can Climb Trees 90
from the as-long-as-they-aren't-on-planes dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Other than not having limbs, this has little to do with a snake. This looks like a bunch of U-Joints with servo motors, its "rolling" up the tree, after "rolling" on the ground. A snake does not move this way.. No animal that I know of moves this way.
It's also obviously being controlled.. The AI to find a tree then decide to climb it (motivation?) would be really interesting.
This is neat, but I don't see anything to do with snakes here.. Which is a shame.. Many years ago for a Comp Sci project, I had to model a snake and it's movements (virtually -- it was an OpenGL assignment). It was really interesting to do, mimicking those thousands of coordinated muscles with electronics would be pretty fantastic. Of course, different snakes move differently
As far as I know, the only snakes that allow themselves to be on their back are either playing dead or actually dead. There's at least one species that will roll over and emit a "death odor" to fool predators, but with most snakes, even if they're almost dead, if you roll them on their back they go straight over again.

As a string quartet they practiced at least weekly and right away began performing live building a following fast. In 2014 Mark Crowder was brought into the mix for some fiddling finesse and Oak Grove String Band was now complete. Throughout the year they would perform all size shows across the Carolina's.

May 04 - Homily: St. Paul Spreading the Faith
Version 8 and above required to view videos
Uploaded by AirMaria on May 4, 2013
Fr. Ignatius gives the homily for the Mass on the Marian Day at Our Lady of the Redeemer Retreat Center. He links to the theme of the day "the Faith of Our Lady in the Year of Faith," focusing on the Acts of the Apostles and how Paul carried out his God-given task, applying all his human energies and wisdom but always asking and seeking for God's help and guidance. Let us not get discouraged in the face of difficulties but realize that this is what Jesus warned in today's Gospel, "If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you."ĀJohn 15:20 Ave Maria!

"Both sides benefit from learning more about each other's worlds. We recommend that Ops people take a Dev person to lunch and vice versa," said Matt Selheimer, SVP of Marketing at ITinvolve, in this exclusive Q&A with Conference Chair Roger Strukhoff. "It's a great way to build bridges, foster collaboration, and better understand what is "upstream" or "downstream" from your day-to-day work. After all, business value is only delivered when the new application capabilities are deployed and used not just when code is ready."
Cloud Computing Journal: The idea of lean and agile development has been evolving in recent years. To what extent is cloud computing in all its forms driving this evolution toward DevOps?
Matthew Selheimer: Survey data and customer experience show that the drive to cloud computing is more so about agility than just about cost efficiencies. This demonstrates there is strong synergy between those adopting lean and agile principles as well as looking to the cloud for improved time-to-market and the ability to react faster to competitive pressures.
Cloud Computing Journal: How much of a revolution is DevOps, i.e., how much waterfall development do we still see, and how quickly is the world of enterprise IT moving toward a DevOps world?
Selheimer: Here the pace-layering model is a good guide. It's useful to understand which of your systems are truly systems of record that ought to be expected to change infrequently due to compliance and other business stability requirements (e.g., your general ledger) vs. which ones are systems of differentiation or systems of innovation requiring more frequent updates to generate competitive advantage or neutralize competitive threats. DevOps is fundamental to enabling agility through continuous delivery in systems of differentiation and innovation.
Cloud Computing Journal: Who seem to be the best equipped people within an enterprise to handle DevOps: the "Dev" folks or the "Ops" folks? Alternatively, do you find the requisite skills already there within the world of system administrators?
Selheimer: Both sides benefit from learning more about each other's worlds. We recommend that Ops people take a Dev person to lunch and vice versa. It's a great way to build bridges, foster collaboration, and better understand what is "upstream" or "downstream" from your day-to-day work. After all, business value is only delivered when the new application capabilities are deployed and used not just when code is ready.
Cloud Computing Journal: What, if any, tradeoffs are there in moving toward a DevOps world? Are there aspects of this sort-of continuous development, "perpetual beta" world that are disadvantageous compared to the older, slower way of software development? Is there a middle ground, a sort-of "hybrid DevOps"?
Selheimer: Many people are conditioned to the idea of a big release that is going to enable a breakthrough capability. The world of DevOps means that innovation is continuous in small chunks that are quick to code and deploy (and easier to roll back if there are issues). Some may find this environment to be "incrementalism" at first, but the reality is that you can deliver bigger chunks of innovation faster this way than waiting for a 12 or 18 month waterfall cycle.
Cloud Computing Journal: Why do your customers do business with you? What have you learned from them?
Selheimer: We serve customers across many industries and of different sizes, but they all share one thing in common, they are trying to transform IT to better enable their businesses to be agile while ensuring the stability of operations their businesses also demand. ITinvolve's unique combination of collaboration, analysis, and knowledge capture ensure teams have the information they need to effectively execute projects and changes whether those are application releases, infrastructure upgrades, or scenario planning activities like disaster recovery or data center moves.
Cloud Computing Journal: What advantages does the Salesforce1 platform offer to you and to your customers?
Selheimer: Salesforce1 is the industry's leading Platform as a Service with over 125,000 customers and handling over 1 billion transactions every business day. It's proven and trusted in the most demanding organizations around the world, and it scales incredibly well. By building our products on the Salesforce1 platform, we receive all of these benefits and are able to focus 100% of our R&D efforts at the application layer, which enables us to respond faster to our customers and the market with innovative IT management solutions. For example, we've had 7 releases of our products in just two years. No other IT management software vendor has that level of release frequency that we are aware of.

Wearable technology was dominant at this year's International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) , and MWC was no exception to this trend. New versions of favorites, such as the Samsung Gear (three new products were released: the Gear 2, the Gear 2 Neo and the Gear Fit), shared the limelight with new wearables like Pebble Time Steel (the new premium version of the company's previously released smartwatch) and the LG Watch Urbane. The most dramatic difference at MWC was an emphasis on presenting wearables as fashion accessories and moving away from the original clunky technology associated with t...

Utah football notebook: The two Pac-12 newcomers have struggled
Jeffrey D. Allred, Deseret News
BOULDER, Colo. — Life in the Pac-12 hasn't been good for Utah or Colorado. The newcomers have taken their share of lumps since joining the conference last year.
Entering Friday's game at Folsom Field, the Utes are just 6-11 in Pac-12 games and the Buffaloes are a paltry 3-14.
"I think the league is much, much better this year than it was last year across the board," said Utah coach Kyle Whittingham. "I can't speak for Colorado, but speaking for us, I think the league is elevated. There's no doubt about that. We're still working hard to get to the level we need to be at. We're not there yet but it's very competitive."
Whittingham then repeated something he has said often since the program's transition into the Pac-12.
"The bar has been raised in all areas," he explained. "That's really the long and short of it."
Colorado coach Jon Embree recently described his young team's current status as going through "growing pains."
The Buffaloes have lost seven straight Pac-12 games, falling by an average margin of 50-12.
EXTREMELY MOTIVATED: Despite the disappointment of a losing season, Utah's underclassmen are determined to send the senior class out with a win.
"I felt really bad after that game last week, coming into that locker room and seeing their faces," junior defensive lineman Tenny Palepoi said, while noting that being able to play one more game with the seniors kind of eases the pain of last week's 34-24 loss to Arizona. "Ending with a 'W' for them would be really nice."
Sophomore wide receiver Kenneth Scott is confident the Utes will bounce back.
"We can definitely pick it up and end it right," he said.
Freshman quarterback Travis Wilson has similar thoughts, noting: "I know everyone's going to give it their 100 percent and I think we're going to have great game on Friday."
REVENGE FACTOR: Whittingham downplayed any revenge factor from last year's 17-14 upset win by Colorado at Rice-Eccles Stadium. The loss wound up costing Utah a berth in the inaugural Pac-12 championship game against Oregon.
"Is there a revenge factor? I'm not sure about that," Whittingham said. "It's just another game that we need to try to go win."
EXTRA POINTS: Colorado leads the all-time series over Utah by a 31-24-3 margin . . . Although the teams have met just once since 1962, this is the fifth most-played series for the Utes . . . Utah hasn't played in Boulder since 1961 . . . Colorado punter Darragh O'Neill is second in the Pac-12 and 17th nationally with an average of 43.57 yards per kick.

OpenCL, GLSL Back-End For LLVM May Soon Open Up
Published on 27 August 2011 08:31 AM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
8 Comments
A university student that successfully wrote OpenCL and GLSL back-ends to the Low Level Virtual Machine (LLVM) is arranging to have the code open-sourced if there is interest, which already LLVM developers are requesting.
Simon Moll, a German developer wrote the OpenCL LLVM back-end for his thesis at Saarland University. He also wrote an LLVM back-end for the GL Shading Language.
He mentions these details in
this LLVM mailing list message
. His thesis with all of the LLVM engineering details can be found on
the university website
(PDF). "We implemented backends for both OpenCL and GLSL programs, that can de-compile LLVM-Bitcode with some constraints (mostly due to unsupported data-types). The final evaluation shows that the performance of decompiled OpenCL matches that of reference OpenCL programs in most cases."
This is actually quite interesting work since the OpenCL program is generated from the LLVM bit-code, which is derived from whatever high-level language was passed to the Low-Level Virtual Machine. From the thesis, "
The back-end should be restricted as little as possible to specific high-level languages.
This was realized by separating the recovery of high-level control-flow from the generation of target language code. However, the target languages need to be imperative."
The Open Compute Language back-end targets OpenCL 1.0, but likely could be updated to support the newer OpenCL 1.1 revision.
Within the OpenCL/graphics world, LLVM is already used by AMD for their proprietary OpenCL/Stream implementation, is used by parts of Gallium3D, and is being used for the
OpenCL state tracker
Check out the thesis
while this code to these LLVM back-ends will hopefully be open-sourced soon.

WE were the worst of the "lot"BTWERFPGHPVXall outproformed us.Getting BOOOORING!!!!
Sold or a management change
A short while ago, I sold 2 of my 3 blocks of PWE (for a loss) & bought LINE. The best move I've made in a while. I'm up over 40%.
This company should be sold !!!
PWE is 22% of my IRA and I am in it for at least 5 more years.I have dividend reinvestment at an average of 6.2% and with my cost average i'm at 11%. Not great but not bad.As a long term investor I do not want a merger. If you get a 20-25% premium its 5 dollars. They will make that and more on their own.Plus I don't think Canada looks kindly on outsiders buying their companies without a lot of restrictions.
You just MIGHT be right!

Long Sleeve High Low Blouse: You asked for it...your favorite blouse now with long sleeves! The high-low hem has just as much impact when you make your exit as when you walk into the room.
Read what customers are saying about this product:
Rating: 4.60 out of 5 votes cast
So very feminine
This blouse is well-made and figure flattering. It is true to size. The color is very bright, like the summer sun. I've only had the opportunity to wear it once and got lots of compliments. The only criticism is that the catalog should say, "Camisole sold separately, see page ..." Although the description said sheer, the photo looked like the blouse had a solid panel in the front.

Good Quality
The quality of this blouse is good. I wear an XL and found the basic size fit to be on mark, except the sleeves are a bit long. They cuff up nicely though. The color is very pretty.
Eyeota, MN
Sleeves are tight
I normally wear a Large top (14/16). The quality of this blouse is good, but the sleeves are tight in the upper arm. I am reordering in a larger size.

Decision 2012
NARA's interactive electoral college map, here set to show Ronald Reagan's landslide 1984 win, allows users to look up past elections and test scenarios in the current contest.
The 2012 election may be hard to predict, but there are still ways for citizens to estimate how many Electoral College votes each candidate will receive come Tuesday. On Nov. 1, the National Archives' Office of the Federal Register released an interactive map that displays current, historical and hypothetical election data in a visual manner.
Try it here.
Since 2004, the National Archives has displayed electoral vote predictions as a calculator in text form, but this year has switched to the easier-to-use map interface. The Federal Register will also use the map to display electoral votes as they come in on Tuesday, Nov. 6. Users may then share their predictions via Facebook or Twitter, and the Electoral College website keeps a running tally of each prediction.
"We really designed the new section to display information and for people to use as an educational tool. Social media was not our primary focus, but we recognize that it can be an important tool, so we're happy we were able to add that function," Federal Register Staff Attorney Miriam Vincent said.
The site, titled "2012: Make Your Prediction," features a map of all 50 states, with the option to click once to turn the state red for Romney, and click twice to make the state blue for Obama. Election data from every presidential election starting in 1964 is available as red and blue maps with specific popular and electoral vote amounts.
The Federal Register has also posted a video explaining how the Electoral College process works. The video is not subject to any copyright restrictions, allowing its use and free distribution. At press time, the statistics for web traffic were not available.
