Russell R. Roberts, Jr.'s curator insight,
March 20, 4:17 AM
Savvy broadcast and media companies are putting more emphasis on social networks to keep the public informed. Recent studies have shown that the "younger generation" will keep up with the news and public events if they are presented well on social media. Even print outlets such as newspapers and magazines are publishing digital editions to appeal to younger audiences equipped with social media tools. The communications future has arrived! Aloha, Russ.

Joseph McCaleb's curator insight,

social media has value "in building relationships with customers, offering responsive technical support, and engaging efforts to establish a sustainable base of consumer advocates."
Alex Grech's curator insight,
March 11, 6:01 PM
As usual, these things are never in black and white. Looking for a direct, linear relationship between social media 'marketing' and the bottom seems equally flawed.

Els processos d'aprenentatge éstructurats com una combinació d'activitats, metodologies i contextos rics i variats. Aquest quatre models il·lustren una mateixa visió, basada en la riquesa i varietat de recursos i situacions, així com en el treball de l'autonomia personal a partir de la pràctica.

This frightening observation merits closer examination. Imagine what you could do if you exploited every avenue available to build your business.
Gracie Marcoux's curator insight,
March 24, 2:29 AM
The article, in summary, goes over how there are so many users of social media around the world, especially young adults. Apparently, terrorists absolutely love twitter. What we need to realize is that social media can be taken as a terrorism breeding house, and everyone is subjugated to its danger. This applies to terrorism in Unit 4. How? Instead of direct attacks like 9/11, people are now targeted worlds away. And that's far more terrifying. |

Ankeny, Iowa couple delivers baby in bathroom
UPDATED 5:15 AM PDT Jun 26, 2013An Iowa couple calls 911 for help when their baby arrives earlier than expected.
Video TranscriptLITTLE CONTRACTIONS TO - I AM FEELING THIS BABY - AND IT IS COMING VERY FAST. Her fourth child came quickly! And with a very unusual delivery! Of course, this all happened on MOTHER'S Day. Emily Price shows us this baby's entrance into the world was a real team effort. 911 what is the location of your emergency? The call came from the master bathroom of this Ankeny home. My wife is pregnant - the water just broke and it seems like she is having the baby NOW. How many minutes apart are the contractions do you know? Like within seconds. On one end - Polk County dispatcher Thomas Heckler. It was my first delivery - I had to remain cool and calm. On the other end - expectant father Kenny Ayers. Basically laid on the floor and the next thing - there was the head. And yeah - it was definitely unexpected. nat sound screaming - do you see? It's coming! It's coming! My thought was - once I seen the head was - basically am I going to have to deliver this? Are they going to get someone here fast enough? He wanted to push the baby back in - I told him no - we are going to have a baby. You gotta have a baby and we're going to push. Is there anyway you can get a towel the baby can lay on when the baby comes out? I was yelling a lot of orders at him - catch the baby get her out! I really had no choice in the matter on this one. Paramedics were still minutes away - and his daughter wasn't waiting. The baby is out - the baby is out. But Kenny and Thomas were going to have to do more. Delivering her was somehow the easy part. Is the baby crying or breathing right now? She is not crying! She is not crying. Can you gently wipe off the baby's mouth and nose? She was laying on the floor and I could see kenny rubbing her back. It felt an eternity for me a long time. We didn't have anything to suck it out of her mouth or anything so I am just kind of trying to tip her over - kind of like baby CPR - and just cough it out herself. It's crying - it's trying to cry. You got it wiped down and it's breathing and crying? Yeah - it's crying. Okay you got a boy or a girl? Girl. Congratulations. Thank you. I'm normally not an emotional person - but that stood out. Today the baby girl they named Stormy... She came out like a storm with a vengeance. ...is healthy and back home. it's going to be an interesting story when she gets older. If he wasn't there I don't know what we would've done. Dispatcher Thomas Heckler and Stormy got to meet last week for the first time. Here's a great shot from their meeting. Heckler got an award from the sheriff for his calm demeanor that day. How did he know exactly what to do? Training. And they have manuals in the computer system that walk them through what to say.

Being a national NGO, the EMACE Foundation has acquired substantial local knowledge and sensitivity to ensure that our activities benefit those intended, as we are in constant interaction with the government of Sri Lanka, the private sector, and other NGOs and community-based organizations. We have built a significant network, with local as well as international support.
[show]Recent news and developments
- January 2013: EMACE continues to promote solar cooking with rural villagers - Fifteen solar box cookers will be distributed at the completion of a training workshop to be held in the Bolgoda Lake catchment area in the western province of Sri Lanka. The project was developed with a partnership with the Lake Biodiversity Project funded by the Global Nature Fund (GNF). Three additional programs are scheduled with other development non-profit organizations in northern and eastern locales for re-settlement villagers.
- October 2011: The foundation began teaching solar cooking in 1995, and has taught over 3400 individuals to date, and has distributed over 1100 solar cookers.
- November 2009: A workshop on "Renewable energy at village level" was held in Trincomalee on November 25, 2009 at Grace Church vocational center, for 100 newly-resettled families under the sponsorhip of a local NGO. More details here.
- April 2009: Sri Lanka's Sun in a Box! - Islam Online
- July 2004: The EMACE Foundation continues its efforts to spread solar cooking in Sri Lanka, particularly war-torn northern and eastern regions. Workshops were recently held in the Vavuniya district and orders for 50 solar box cookers were filled. Twenty parabolic solar cookers ― designed and provided by Dominic Michaelis of Solar Energy Ltd. ― were also distributed. According to EMACE, "Women in particular are benefiting from the cookers as they enable them … to spend more time away from cooking and to save money otherwise spent on firewood. Many have used the extra time and money to start their own micro-businesses ― some have even used the cookers themselves to gain extra income by selling cakes and sweets prepared in them." Demand for cookers among these communities is currently outstripping supply. EMACE is looking for additional support to assist with production and transport costs. EMACE recently began to produce its own solar box cookers, helping to keep costs down and ensure the project's viability.

Yep, but adapters are pretty easy to find for normal resolutions.
My admin system showed up with a PC that only had VGA and DP connectors, along with a display that only supported DVI and HDMI (my fault, I asked for a bigger display ). There was a bit of cursing when I unpacked it and started plugging in cables.
I borrowed a passive DP-to-DVI dongle and everything seems to work fine.

A's, Angels square off to start AL West showdown
Chavez takes the mound for Oakland against Los Angeles' Richards
The Angels may be the A's biggest competition in the American League West this year, but judging by the teams' meetings so far, you wouldn't know it.
Oakland has taken five of six games from the Angels in 2014, most recently earning a three-game sweep at home from May 30-June 1 that widened its division lead from 1 1/2 to 4 1/2 games.
On Monday, the Angels will try to regain ground when they welcome the A's to Angel Stadium for a three-game set.
"I think it was just a bump in the road," Angels catcher Hank Conger said of the previous series against Oakland. "We've been playing good baseball throughout the whole year. For us to be back on track, I don't think something just drastically changed. I think it was just one of those times where you hit a rough skid."
This time, they will have two stars in their lineup who were battling injuries earlier in the month. Mike Trout returned Thursday after sitting out three of four games with upper back stiffness, and Josh Hamilton returned Tuesday after missing 48 games following surgery on his left thumb.
Despite outscoring the Angels 26-11 in the last series, the A's know better than to underestimate their opponent -- especially at full strength.
"We saw a very good team, and we played as well as we could play against them at our place," A's manager Bob Melvin said. "We see them so many times over the course of the season. We know them well, they know us well. Sometimes it's just a matter of how a team is playing at a particular time, but you know that, offensively, they're doing things very well."
The same three Angels pitchers who picked up losses in the previous series -- Garrett Richards, Tyler Skaggs and Jered Weaver -- will get another crack at the top offense in the Majors.
Richards had his worst start of the season on May 30 in Oakland, recording just two outs while allowing five earned runs. The right-hander bounced back with eight shutout innings against the Astros on Wednesday.
Taking the mound against Richards will be righty Jesse Chavez, who has slowed down a bit after a stellar start. After giving up four runs in six innings to the Yankees on Wednesday, his ERA climbed over 3.00 for the first time this year.
Entering Sunday, A's pitching was tops in the Majors with a 2.95 ERA.
A's: Crisp to sit at least once in Anaheim
Coco Crisp was not in the A's lineup Sunday, as Melvin continues to give him an occasional day off to deal with an ongoing neck issue.
The leadoff man did not start Friday's game, either, and Melvin plans to keep him out of the lineup at least once in Anaheim in advance of an off-day Thursday, hoping to get him back to 100 percent.
"I think, now, it's just about trying to get him a few days of rest to try to get him better," said Melvin. "He'll feel pretty good after a day of rest and then play a game and then maybe take half a step backward. So I'm going to be a little bit more proactive about getting him more rest here, so there will be some days you won't see him in the lineup."
With Crisp recovering and with right fielder Josh Reddick (knee) on the disabled list, Craig Gentry has seen increased playing time.
The speedy outfielder has made a couple of spectacular diving plays on the A's road trip, robbing Brett Gardner in New York and Nick Markakis in Baltimore.
Angels: Calhoun, Cowgill continue to platoon in right field
With Hamilton's return to the Angels lineup, manager Mike Scioscia had to make a decision: Who plays in right field?
It could be Kole Calhoun, who has started 25 games in right, or it could be Collin Cowgill, who has started 37 games across all three outfield spots. The answer so far has been both.
In six games since Hamilton's return, Scioscia has platooned the pair. Calhoun has started the four games against right-handers while Cowgill has played against lefties.
"I don't think anything has changed about our confidence if Kole's going to hit left-handers, but I do feel that Collin Cowgill, you want to keep him fresh with some at-bats instead of having him sit for a long time," Scioscia said Sunday. "Against lefties, we've played much better and Collin was a big part of that. When Josh gets a day off or when Josh DHs, we're going to have to keep Collin in the mix. But Kole will be out there tomorrow."
Against left-handers this season, Cowgill is hitting .306/.377/.452 while Calhoun is .250/.250/.375. After the right-hander Chavez, Oakland will trot out lefties Drew Pomeranz and Tommy Milone.
Worth noting
• The A's starting lineup on Sunday featured all three of their catchers, with Derek Norris behind the plate, John Jaso at designated hitter, and Stephen Vogt in right field.
• Oakland has homered in a season-high 16 consecutive games.
• The Angels called up right-handed reliever Cory Rasmus on Saturday, optioning infielder Grant Green to Triple-A to return to a seven-man bullpen.

It is really hard to decide which hardware should be used for a Linux based console. Basically the Nvidia runs everything rule is already broken by Killing Floor. I tried to report the bug to icculus and via the tripwire contact form but nobody contacted me. I compared fglrx vs. nvidia (and after i packaged mesa 9.1 intel as well). That game checks for nvidia vendor and enables some stupid hack that show rendering errors with OpenGL on Win too - they only work in Direct3D mode. If you use apitrace and record the opengl commands then you can playback a recorded session with fglrx cards flawlessly with nvidia driver - when you try it the other way then you see the rendering errors with fglrx as well.
Basically nvidia 310+ drivers have been tuned a bit for the new steam games. Mainly tested with source engine games like TF2 and Serious Sam 3. Nvidia 304 drivers are much slower especially when you don't force performance mode (cpufreq). fglrx still has got more issues with that - especially with slower cpus (or just say: amd cpus in ondemand mode). Valve could use a wrapper that changes cpu to performance mode when a game is started, maybe in general or just for more demanding games.
So when you look at the next option it would be intel only. Haswell might faster than HD 4000 (could not test that) but Intel driver in general is really bad supported by Serious Sam 3. With a hack and gfx to lowest it runs but it looks extremely ugly.
Killing Floor on Intel is not really fast but you could play it. TF2 was ok, similar to cheaper nvidia gpus.
So what did i do? I exchanged my gfx cards depending on the game i wanted to play... That can not be the solution for a console. It does not really matter which gfx solution will be used for valve's own source games (fglrx is right now only problematic with AA enabled, but i hope amd can sort this out) but for 3rd party games it looks different.
If you really combine a i5 cpu with nvidia dedicated chip then you can not call the result a console, thats just a normal gamer pc. A modified PS4 gpu without sony extra commands maybe with fewer cores but higher clockspeed might be an interesting option but it depends on amd at what speed such a chip could run (and what cooling is needed). Currently amd has interesting gfx options, but intel has the better production process. So maybe let intel produce the new amd apus that they could run at higher clockspeeds. You have to see that when sony wants an 8 core system (basically 8 integer and 4 float cores) the clockspeed will be just adjusted so that the power use does not raise over a certain level. But that resulting speed is most likely too slow for current Linux ports. The Win counterparts run much better, some because of more optimizations in the engines like the Unreal 2.5+ based Killing Floor game or Serious Sam 3, the other problematic thing is the default Linux sheduler. It switches so often tasks when another core is unused but downclocked that it can not scale up fast enough. Games like SS3 suffered from that and they tried to bind the main logic to always the same core. The speed is still not optimal for other games.
It dont see a Steambox winning against PS4 even if would be similar priced (unlikely as PS4 will be sold much more often). It is somehow always a matter of time, but right now the time is not working for Valve because PS4 will hit the stores for xmas. I don't think that ppl will buy a 2nd console thats just a pc in a different (smaller) case to play less optimized games. In case it would really be intel cpu + nvidia gpu combined it would be VERY expensive, intel only would too slow for some games (even with haswell), default amd apus you can completely forget, that ps4 thing maybe. When you need to combine a cpu with ddr3 and a 2nd chip with gddr5 it will be more expensive as well, maybe a tiny bit cheaper than intel but it will use more power.
What should happen is that important 3rd party game devs get help from amd/nvidia/intel to really optimize the opengl codepath. That this can work you can see with the source engine - nothing is more frustrating than a game that runs too slow on Linux and on Win it runs great on the same hardware. Not every game is so demanding but some really need more speed. I don't see the problem only in the driver quality - when you compare SS3 Direct3D vs OpenGL then OpenGL is just slower - no matter if the OS is Linux or Win or if you use Fglrx or Nvidia or Intel gpu.
Well call it whatever you like, the Killing Floor game engine has nvidia checks which should not be there. Let em know in a way they get the message, i tried but nothing changed.
Btw. it is not logical that opengl is slower than direct3d when the same hardware features are used. Its really time to profile the games to find the bottlenecks. Maybe some updated design guidelines would help.
Finally some news that clears things out: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/20...rts-at-USD1000
wtf? did you even bother to read it?
And I think Valve is smart enough to know that no one in the right mind would get a $1000 console, and maybe that nVidia is the way to go ATM.UPDATE: Valve has distanced itself from the Xi3 Piston, dubbed an unofficial Steam Box. It had been believed that Valve had backed the grapefruit-sized computer ahead of the release of its own Steam Box, but this appears to be false. Valve's Doug Lombardi told Eurogamer that Valve had some dealings with Xi3 Corporation, the company behind the Piston, but not any more. "Valve began some exploratory work with Xi3 last year, but currently has no involvement in any product of theirs," he said. Eurogamer contacted Xi3 yesterday after it was revealed the Piston would cost - at a minimum - $1000, and launch this Christmas. A UK price or delivery details are still to be announced.
Getting clear, clearer, cleared, by the day: http://kotaku.com/5990254/piston-mak...ally-for-valve
Pardon? Correct me if wrong but is not one of the Steam Boxes using AMD Radeon? And is not the PS4 using linux?From a Linux driver perspective, there really is no other compelling choice for a Linux gamer.
HD 4000 can't compete with low discrete GPUs neither with AMD integrated graphics (APUs).A high-performance discrete GPU isn't needed for video playback and very lax games, but Intel HD 4000 "Ivy Bridge" graphics or Haswell would be more than enough for those lighter-weight workloads. Intel graphics support on Linux is good, but their integrated graphics can't compete with high-end NVIDIA/AMD GPUs.
Why? After losing the contract with PS4, Nvidia said us that they were not interested in consoles. We know that they could not provide the hardware to Sony, because Nvidia lacks the technology, but even if we accept Nvidia excuse, with what face would they be proud of powering a console now after saying they are not interested in consoles?NVIDIA may also be trying hard to get its chips in the Steam Box given Sony going with Radeon graphics and Microsoft's Xbox "Durango" also having been rumored to rely upon Radeon graphics.
Please don't give us virtual cores, give us real cores.I would expect the CPU to be at least a quad-core with the possibility of Hyper Threading.
4 Gb is too little and 8 GB is as well. The PS4/Xbox have 8 GB of unified memory. E.g. the PS4 is based in an advanced APU HSA hUMA design by AMD. This implies, among other things, you don't need a copy of VRAM data on RAM. As consequence, the 8 GB of the PS4 don't translate to 8 GB on PCs locked to the traditional architecture CPU + dGPU. Epic is selecting an Intel i7 with 16 GB RAM plus 2 GB VRAM (Nvidia GPU) in their comparisons PC-PS4. I don't know exactly why they selected 16 GB of RAM, but their unreal engine uses 8:1 and 4:1 texture compressions which impliesMemory: The PlayStation 4 has 8GB of system memory and the next-generation Xbox also looks that way too, in which case I would expect Valve to match that or at least provide 4GB. I haven't hit any memory pressure issues with the Valve's games on Linux.
2 GB VRAM x 4 = 8 GB RAM
2 GB VRAM x 8 = 16 GB RAM
If they are storing textures uncompressed in RAM, about 12 GB could be textures, plus the game engine, plus Windows, account for the 16 GB. In any case looking to the Epic specs for PC, 16 GB RAM looks more reasonable for Valve if they finally go towards a more inefficient Intel CPU + Nvidia GPU conf. and still pretend to outperform consoles.
Note that the PS4 has unified GDDR5 memory, which means developers can use 4-5 GB as VRAM. What Nvidia card could provide such memory capacities. Most of the their cards would be out. Only a pair high-end models would pass the cut. Do you really believe that all the Steam Box will be incorporating a $1000 noisy and power hungry GTX Titan?
Disk: I wait a real disk here. A SSD is not really needed for gaming and would increase the cost of the console.
Haswell igpu performance gains are minimal for the desktop chips and still far behind AMD trinity. Only big gains are promised for the mobile Haswell chips, but they are targeting mobile graphics cards, which would match to low end desktop cards.
Intel lies about the nanometer. Their 22nm process are what everyone else calls 28nm. Their production process has quality issues as well. E.g. the IHS issue with the Ivy Bridge chips. AMD has solid production process. That is why it is AMD who owns the worldwide record of overclocking. Intel chips cannot achieve record clockspeeds.
Interesting reading. I only knew scheduler issues on W7.
Neither I see.

Dave's past comes back to haunt him, Adam has a secret admirer and Marisol is teamed up with an unwilling partner for Model UN. Find out what happened on tonight's brand new episode of Degrassi under the jump!
Click here to watch episodes, read recaps, browse galleries, check out exclusive clips and more on Degrassi!
Katie is in the hospital ready to have surgery on her knee and Marisol stops by to wish her good luck. Marisol wants to start prepping for model UN with Katie, but she'll still be in the hospital and instead suggests that Marisol tried to find a cute, single guy to work with her.
Marisol's new partner is assigned to her and it's Mo. Neither of them are jumping out of their seats with joy.
Rather than work together on their project, Marisol suggests they go solo and put their ideas together the next day during practice.
When Mo makes fun of Marisol's idea in Model UN, the two go from mild dislike to loathing. Instead of trying to work things out, Mo puts his gum in Marisol's hair when she's not looking. Ew.
Marisol and Drew stop in to visit Katie before her surgery, but the topic quickly turns from knees to Marisol's hatred for Mo. Katie and Drew think she should give him a chance and that the gum-in-hair trick is a clear sign that Mo is interested. But Marisol won't date someone that is heavy, even though Drew points out all of Mo's good qualities.
It's a Torres singalong to Summer of 69 while Dave texts up a storm to Alli. While he's driving. Bieber told us about this. Dave almost hits Alli with his car while he's busy texting and driving and for some craaaazy reason she doesn't go running into his arms. Drew and Adam suggest that Dave give up on Alli, but he's determined to make them a couple again.
In an attempt to woo Alli, Dave decides that he should volunteer for Model UN, which Alli is in charge of organizing. Dave arrives to the meeting late and knocks over about five signs on his way in.
Alli doesn't think Dave should be allowed to sign up since he's only interested in learning about her, but they need more people and she can't say no. Dave tries asking Alli out to lunch, but she won't even talk to him. Dave gets an idea that he needs to do something amazing to show Alli that he's serious about being with her again.
Alli finds the gym ready for Model UN and Dave standing in the middle of the room smiling. Alli appreciates the effort, but tells him that she's still not interested. Dave asks Alli whether she's ever done anything she regretted and she admits that they had a good thing once. She agrees to talk. It's a step! Take it and run with it, Dave!
This is them talking.
During their make-out session, Dave gets a text from Jacinta, asking whether he's forgotten her. Dave pretends it's Adam and throws his phone in the backseat. I'm assuming that Jacinta is the girl he hooked up with in the summer. She's cute!
But before Dave can move forward with Alli, he still has his past pulling him back. Dave tells Drew about Jacinta, the girl he hooked up with during the summer while he and Alli were on a break, and says that not only is she hot, but she's crazy.
I don't think expecting someone you slept with to call you is crazy, but Dave decides that he needs to do something drastic and block her on all forms of social media.
Jacinta notices right way that Dave has blocked her and calls him repeatedly. Dave picks up the phone and is super harsh, telling her to never, ever contact him again. Maybe something along the lines of, "I have a new girlfriend, I think it's best if we stop talking, but I really enjoyed my time with you" could have worked as well. Just a thought.
Alli confides in Jenna that kissing Dave may have been a huge mistake. She still doesn't trust him and isn't sure that she can date him again after finding out about his fling this past summer.
Alli makes a list of demands that she wants met if she's to consider getting them getting back together.
Dave agrees to do whatever it takes to be with Alli, and that includes hiring a mariachi band to woo Alli during their date in Little Miss Steaks. I expected more of a country vibe from that place.
Dave is helping Alli welcome all the other schools that traveled to Degrassi to take part in the Model UN tournament and that's when he and Drew spot Jacinta. I spot the two hot guys behind her. Get those students transfer papers for Degrassi asap!
Jacinta zeros in on Dave and tells him that he can't avoid her. Alli runs up to introduce herself, not
realizing that Jacinta is the girl Dave slept with.
Coming up with ideas on how to eradicate famine in another country seem less daunting than getting out of this situation at the moment.
Clare and Adam are sharing their creative writing stories and Adam finds a note from a secret admirer in his bag. He rips it up without reading the whole thing, assuming that it's someone playing a practical joke on him. Adam wants to concentrate on skateboarding instead of dating until he has his sex reassignment surgery.
Adam joins the rest of the skateboarders after school and is approached by Tori, who tells him that she's working on a survey for school.
Tori begins asking him questions about whether he's single and who he would want to date. What class is this for again? Adam asks Tori if she sent him a note and she quickly wraps up the survey and runs off.
Clare finds Adam in the hall later that day watching his locker. Adam received a second note from his secret admirer, this time in his locker, and wants to keep watch in case his admirer drops off another letter.
The two spot Tori slipping a letter into Adam's locker and he runs up to the grade nine student and confronts her. Tori admits that all the letters have been from her, but she's just the delivery girl. Her friend has a crush on Adam and Tori suggests they all go on a double date. Reluctantly, Adam agrees. We know that Tori is friends with Maya and Tristan, meaning Adam's admirer is likely one of the two, but which one?

At this point it seems more likely that we'd get a Linux-exclusive Duke Nukem before UT3 ever gets done.
Phoronix: Ryan Gordon On Linux UT3: "still on its way"
The Linux client for Unreal Tournament 3 should have been out over 550 days ago, but it appears to be dead with not even Epic Games being sure about its status. However, the independent developer that is responsible for porting this game's server and client over to Linux, Ryan Gordon, claims that the game is still on. Following our news post on Friday regarding this matter, Mr...
At this point it seems more likely that we'd get a Linux-exclusive Duke Nukem before UT3 ever gets done.
"optimizing" is just an excuse.
It has to be a legal issue of some sorts
the ETQW linux client was shipped without threaded support and un-optimized
The ETQW linux client now has threaded support BUT still no optimized SIMD
Its most likely legal bs preventing the clients' release. Most likely what Ryan is stating is true, he's optimising and bug fixing. I doubt its because the client isn't ready, but more likely he's continuing to work on it so he continues to get paid while Epic has their thumbs up their @$$es while deciding on if they want to release it. Eventually I'm expecting a leak a few years from now when they move on from the Unreal3 engine to the Unreal4 engine.
If Ryan has truly been optimizing UT3 for two years, the linux version will likely run on a P2 using a software renderer while still churning out more fps @ 2560x1600 than the win version with dual 4870x2.
Why you want an UT3 client for Linux? The game is pretty much horrible, nothing like 2K4. It's an amateur-quality game that is not worth our time.

While it's difficult to improve an automatic leveling control that already does what it's supposed to do - keep a submerged submarine level while under way - we've done it. Measuring only .75" X 1.1" X 0.3", APC-4 is the smallest and yet the most capable, user friendly, automatic leveling control available. Based on 25 years of "hands on" research and development, APC-4 is arguably the best there is. Simple installation, intuitive adjustment which allows fine tuning to meet your own boat's needs, variable sensitivity (the most sensitivity is not the best sensitivity - this is where experience tells the tale), and it's able to "stand alone" (no signal input required) so you don't have to waste a channel unnecessarily. The incredibly small size allows installation in even the smallest boats, the tightest compartments.
Not just ON the leading edge of technology, WE DEFINE IT!
Coming soon:
SubSafe II - State of the art failsafe which will control a servo and/or solenoid on loss of signal.
ST-15 - 15 amps of continuous current won't make this speed control even breathe hard. Measures 1.5" X 1.5" X .75"

KFC announced this week it will make a never-before-seen autobiography and cookbook written by Colonel Sanders available for download on its Facebook page starting June 4th. Interestingly, as Smithsonian Magazine's Food & Think blog noted last month, there was pretty much nothing Colonel Sanders hated more than Kentucky Fried Chicken.
KFC announced they had stumbled across the autobiography and cookbook in their archives last November. Harland Sanders (who was made an honorary colonel by the governor of Kentucky in 1935, but did not achieve the rank while serving in the military) wrote the book in 1966.
That was about a decade before the franchise was bought by a liquor and food conglomerate called Heublein. While on the company payroll as a goodwill brand ambassador, Sanders blasted the Heublein executives to The Washington Post as "a bunch of booze hounds" and accused them of treating him like "the saloon bums they're used to dealing with rather than a sophisticated Southern businessman."
As for the quality of the restaurants themselves, Sanders echoed many modern critics:
"I am not too proud of having my name associated with some of my restaurants."
He even attempted to start up another chain called the Colonel's Lady Dinner House, modeled after his own family dining room.
It's unlikely any of those sentiments will appear in the book posted on the KFC Facebook page. For one thing, Heublein wasn't even on the Colonel's radar in 1966 – though, by that point, he had already sold the franchise to its first non-Colonel owners, or, in his words, "the biggest bunch of sharpies you ever saw."
In order to see the book, users will have to "like" the official KFC Facebook page and then not hate themselves for doing so.
They will have to authorize the Colonel Sanders Cookbook app to access their profiles, which is annoying and something most people probably won't bother doing.
Incidentally, in the cookbook's introduction, the Colonel promises he "won't just use a cold mathematical formula to help you put [the food] on your table," but, rather, will tell you "how to prepare it like a man who's talking to you right over your kitchen stove."
This, as I can tell you from attempting to cook from my great-grandmother's recipes ("add flour until it's right"), is a very frustrating way to give instructions.
A couple sample recipes (for upside down peach cobbler and potato pancakes) are already available on the page if you're in the mood for "American country cookin'," to use the colonel's own g-drop.
He also says this:
"A lot of learned men think people really are the food they've eaten."
No one has ever thought that. What a crazy book of lies this will be.

Lackey, Red Sox out to sweep Twins at Fenway
Minnesota's Gibson coming off back-to-back strong performances
The Red Sox haven't hit much in the last few weeks, or much of this season, for that matter. But with consistent starting pitching and a bullpen that refuses to yield, Boston has made up for it in some ways.
On Wednesday, the Sox will go for a three-game sweep behind right-hander John Lackey, who in 2014 has been as consistent as they come. He'll oppose Minnesota righty Kyle Gibson in a midweek matinee at Fenway Park before the Sox head to Oakland and the Twins return home to face the White Sox.
Gibson has tossed seven scoreless innings in each of his past two starts, against the Tigers and Astros. He has allowed one or no runs in eight starts this season and 27 combined in his other five outings.
He entered his last start with a 7.39 road ERA, but was able to get out of a big jam by getting Detroit's Miguel Cabrera to ground into an inning-ending double play in the fifth.
"There was a big chance for that inning to blow up and become a two-, three- or four-spot and be right back to a normal road start for me," Gibson said. "From a development standpoint, that's going to be big for me."
Lackey, meanwhile, has a 3.24 ERA and 4.50 K/BB ratio in 14 starts. He's surrendered three runs or fewer in nine of his last 10 starts and got some rare offensive support in his last outing, a 10-3 decision over Cleveland on Friday.
Boston's lack of offense, though, has begun to tax its bullpen. Manager John Farrell hasn't been able to work in struggling Chris Capuano and Edward Mujica because many of their games have been so close, though Mujica got the save in Tuesday's 2-1 win. Junichi Tazawa, Andrew Miller, Burke Badenhop and Koji Uehara, in particular, have been needed in high-leverage situations more often as a result.
"They've done a great job of taking care of themselves to be available on multiple days consecutively," Farrell said. "We'll continue to balance it out and not put anyone in harm's way."
Boston's bullpen ranked fourth in the Majors in ERA and first in Wins Above Replacement (WAR) entering play Tuesday.
Red Sox: Holt starts in center for first time
• It seems there are few things Brock Holt can't do on a baseball field, and Tuesday, the Red Sox tested that theory even further by starting him in center field for the first time.
Righties have had more success against Minnesota's Tuesday starter, Phil Hughes, so Farrell wanted to get left fielder Jonny Gomes in the lineup. That meant lefty Jackie Bradley Jr. would sit in favor of Holt. Switch-hitter Daniel Nava started in right.
Holt made a terrific catch in the third, laying out for a high fly ball that Gomes appeared to settle under routinely. But the left fielder lost it in the lights before Holt, about 20 feet behind him, dove to make the grab.
This season, Holt has played 23 games at third base, six at first and seven in the outfield.
He came through the Pirates' system as a second baseman, but when he came to Boston last winter, he needed to find a new home on the field. He saw time at third initially before Stephen Drew rejoined the club and the Sox moved Xander Bogaerts to the hot corner. But with how well Holt has been swinging the bat --- .338/.378/.464 entering Wednesday --- Farrell wants him in the lineup.
"He's done an excellent job on both sides of the ball," Farrell said. "We're fully confident that Brock will do a consistent job in center."
Twins: Nunez expects to be available Wednesday
• Utility man Eduardo Nunez said he'll likely be available Wednesday off the bench. He's been slowed by a strained hamstring since Saturday.
Manager Ron Gardenhire hopes Nunez will be back in the lineup by Thursday, and acknowledged the difficulties of playing with a three-man bench while Nunez is limited.
"It limits your ability to pinch-run and all those things," Gardenhire said. "We have to wait until the last second to make decisions like that right now. I want him healthy, and it's taken longer than I originally wanted."
Worth noting
• Twins outfielder Aaron Hicks will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A New Britain on Wednesday. He's been on the disabled list since Friday with a right shoulder strain.
Hicks has posted a .198/.338/.262 slash line in 48 games for Minnesota this season.
• The Red Sox designated outfielder Grady Sizemore for assignment Tuesday morning, but there have been no discussions on whether or not he'll accept a Minor League spot if no other team claims him.
"Today wasn't the time to talk about that. That would be up to him at some point, if he wanted to consider that," general manager Ben Cherington said. "I'm sure he'd have opportunities to do that if he wanted to, but I'm guessing he'll probably try to see if there's a Major League opportunity out there."

Gigantes Plaki (Greek Baked Beans)
While I was on vacation in Greece I saw a dish consisting of huge beans baked in a tomato sauce that looked good but I did not end up getting a chance to try it while I was there. A quick search of the internet revealed that the dish was gigantes (or yigantes) plaki or Greek baked beans, that uses gigantes beans (also known as elephant beans, large lima beans or butter beans). The beans are baked in a simple tomato sauce that reminds me a lot of a marinara sauce that uses plenty of fresh herbs. This recipe takes a bit of time with the soaking the beans over night followed by simmering them and then making the tomato sauce and finally baking everything but it is worth it. The gigantes plaki turned out really well! The beans were nice and tender and creamy and they had a great meaty texture. The tomato sauce had reduced down until it was nice and thick and full of flavour! I made sure to leave the beans in the oven until the top just started to charred and those caramelized bits were the tastiest part of all. I served the gigantes plaki with some crusty bread to wipe up all of the tasty tomato sauce and a garnish of feta. The gigantes plaki also works well as an appetizer in crostini form.
