Graphical user interfaces--History
Software industry--History
Article excerpt
The user interface! What is it and why is it important? How people interact with and use various tools is dependent upon the interface that is provided. A good interface is so seamless that the user is unaware of the fact that the tool that they are using requires much thought.
For a computer system, the human-computer interface is "the point of interaction or communication between a computer and the human operator" (American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language 1992). The importance of the human-computer interface cannot be overemphasized. All communication between the user of a software package and the makers of what appears on the screen must take place on a two-dimensional surface. "Escaping this flatland is the essential task of envisioning information--for all the interesting worlds that we seek to understand are inevitably and happily multivariate in nature. Not flatlands" (Tufte 1990).
This report will focus on human-computer user interfaces and, in particular, the graphical user interface or GUI-pronounced "gooey" as in "Huey, Dewey, Louie, and Gooey." Traditionally, users interfaced with their computers via a character user interface or CUI--pronounced "chewy"--by typing instructions on a keyboard. However, with a GUI, users select options from words or symbols on the computer screen by pressing buttons on a tracking device called a "mouse." This interface--the GUI-has fundamentally changed the way in which individuals work with a computer.
The heart of this report will be a review of a wide variety of GUI-based library automation software products. The reviews focus on the useability of these products and how much these products adhere to good design principles. Unless a product has changed substantially since its review in "Microcomputer-Based Automated Library Systems" (Matthews and Parker 1993), a functional review of the product is not provided in this report.
The graphical user interface is also commonly associated with client/server technology. Readers are encouraged to review a recent report about client/server issues by Richard W. Boss (Library Technology Reports, November-December 1994).
The user interface determines how the user and the computer software communicate. Everything seen on the screen and manipulated with a keyboard or a mouse is part of the user interface. For example, in the on-line catalog environment,
The salient characteristic of interface features
is that they are generally created in a layer of
software that lies between the user at the
terminal and the actual search and retrieval
mechanism of the catalog. The interface "software"
exists to translate the user's entries into search
and display commands that the catalog system can
use, and translate and formats computer results
into a form that the user can understand.
It should be possible to add, change, or remove
interface features without the basic structure of
the online catalog system. To clarify the
distinction: interface software can be modified to
change the way (or to add new ways) that the user
enters a subject, but adding subject search
capabilities where they do not already exist
requires significant structural changes beyond the
scope of the interface software. (Lawrence et al.
A slightly contrary and expanded point of view has been expressed by Yee (1991) when she argues that the human-computer interface must encompass not only the software but also the hardware and the data structures. While Yee's position that the "design of an effective human-computer interface requires an effective design of the system as a whole, including relationships and structures of the data itself" is understandable, for the purposes of this report the narrower software and hardware perspective will be used to define the human-computer interface. …

BOISE -- Canyon County and Kuna residents are being warned to have their vehicles' emissions tested -- or face revocation of their registrations.
The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality says people with an August deadline must pass the test before Dec. 6.
Otherwise, their registrations will be revoked. If that happens, the owner must get their cars or trucks tested -- and purchase new registration.
For those residents still uncertain of their testing deadline, they can go to www.IdahoVIP.org, click the Due Date link, then enter their license plate number or vehicle identification.
Emissions testing has long been a sore spot in Canyon County, where residents and local government officials have bristled at this state requirement aimed at protecting the region's air quality and avoiding more stringent government limits.

Stacey Suarez never set out to be a magician's assistant. It just kind of happened that way.
The 34-year-old Albuquerque native has been involved in theater in one form or another for three decades. She started off as a dancer and worked in the Duke City as a professional dancer for several companies. But she knew there were opportunities in other cities that just didn't exist here. So at 19 she left for Los Angeles.
"It was really hard to leave, but I did," she says.
"This is our first time producing a show," she says. "There's a small magic community in Albuquerque and they have been super supportive."
In addition to looking for movie work, Suarez also kept dancing, appearing at the Playboy Mansion, Universal Studios and Disneyland. She went to audition after audition. Suarez says you don't really know what you're going to; you just go. It was at one of these auditions where Suarez found her calling: magician's assistant.
The 34-year-old Albuquerque native has been involved in theater in one form or another for three decades.
She ain't telling the secrets either, and we decided I'd rather not know anyway.
"If you find out the truth, it's pretty disappointing," she says.
Not that she could spill the beans to this greasy reporter, even if she wanted to. She signs a secrecy agreement with any magician she works with. It lasts for life. Even her own mother can never know.
She says dancers make perfect assistants because they tend to be petite, flexible and limber. They are an integral part of the show. She says the assistant helps make the tricks happen. The most important thing is to smile and make it look easy.
"It's challenging, but I like being challenged," she says. "It's a good thing. The payoff is in the audience's reaction."
Suarez' career choice has allowed her to travel the world. China, Egypt, South America, Australia, Europe. She has worked with many magicians, including Ed Alonzo, also known as Max on "Saved by the Bell" (a show I categorically deny ever having watched). Alonzo set her up with her husband, she says.
The international magic community is tightly knit (Suarez says Albuquerque's own Neil Patrick Harris is heavily involved in it). You can go to China and wind up seeing someone you just worked with on another continent just a few days earlier. She loves being a part of it.
"I'm a lifer," she says. "I definitely love magic."

IoT 105: The Internet of Things as Your Link to Customers
Jun 23, 2015
View webinar
Consider the ways you can support the new customer experience, such as the ability to relate a consumer's activity on your website with their later appearance on in-store proximity beacons. How can you enhance that shopper's experience? Think about ability for a company like GE to optimize the performance and lifespan of a multi-million-dollar piece of heavy equipment at a customer site, improving customer production by 10% or more. How does that translate into customer satisfaction? Then there is the relationship with your own suppliers and trusted business partners. If the IoT allows you to optimize your inventory system, what positive impact in terms of predictability does that have on your own supply partners? This episode will delve deeper into opportunities, highlighting examples that your organization can learn from and emulate.

The story of Maya Angelou's extraordinary life has been chronicled in her multiple bestselling autobiographies. But now, at last, the legendary author shares the deepest personal story of her life: her relationship with her mother.
For the first time, Angelou reveals the triumphs and struggles of being the daughter of Vivian Baxter, an indomitable spirit whose petite size belied her larger-than-life presence—a presence absent during… (mehr)
Perhaps Angelou is counting on the reader to have read her previous memoirs to fill in the blanks; a reader new to Angelou's work may find aspects of the book — such as the glossed-over evolution of her writing life — a bit unsatisfying.
I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings was a ground-breaking triumph. Mom & Me & Mom does a good job of undermining it.
If there is a lesson here – and Angelou's work always offers a lesson – it is that we can choose to be embittered, or we can choose to receive the love extended to us, however difficult that love might be.

Things couldn't get much better for the New Jersey Nets these days.
Aside from sitting six games out of eighth place in the Eastern Conference, people are fairly happy in New Jersey.
Tonight, the Nets fought from behind once again, in a 93-88 win over the Memphis Grizzlies at the Prudential Center.
After falling down 30-16 early in the first quarter, Brook Lopez and Devin Harris lead a spirited Nets squad playing in front of a depleted homw crowd due to an upcoming winter storm.
Lopez finished with 17 points while Harris talliked 13.
Anthony Morrow lead the team off the bench with 19 points.
Kris Humphries also finished in double-figures off the bench, notching 14 points.
With the game hanging in the balance, Lopez knocked down two clutch free throws to essentially end the game with 1.3 seconds remaining on the clock.
Lopez played the hero role in the Nets last win against the Cavaliers earlier in the week when he knocked down the game-winning bucket with just seconds remaining.
With the win, New Jersey improved to 14-32 and sit 21.0 games out of 1st in the conference.
However, the more important number is the fact that they are 5.5 games behind the current eighth place team, Atlanta.

With swine flu spreading across the globe, tourists boarding houseboats to cruise along the backwaters of Alappuzha will now be welcomed with the traditional 'Namaste', and not the regular handshake.
The decision to dispense with the 'foreign' style of greeting and adopt the traditional Indian 'Namaste' came after the Health Department held an awareness campaign among the staff and crew of houseboats earlier this week. They were asked to avoid physical contact with foreigners to whatever extent possible.
Avoiding handshakes would not be enough, the officials have said, asking houseboat operators to report 'suspiciously ill' clients as well. The houseboat operators are to alert authorities and take any tourist with a cold or a running nose to the Sahrudaya Hospital or the Alappuzha General Hospital, the two centres in the district headquarters that have been designated as testing centres for the flu.
The District Health wing, apart from asking the crew to wear masks while interacting with tourists and to destroy the masks immediately after use, have told the crew to wash their with soap at regular intervals. The houseboat staff have also been directed that if any one of them was suffering from a cold and if a handkerchief was not available, the nose was not to be wiped with the hands, but "with the tip of the dress worn at that time".
The directions have come at a time when the tourist season in the coastal town is just picking up. A few tourists, who landed here prior to the Nehru Trophy Boat Race, are still around and more are coming in, though in small numbers. The houseboat industry, however, is still skeptical about a lucrative season, particularly in the backdrop of the global economic slowdown and the swine flu factor.
The district, on the other hand, is yet to report a confirmed case of the flu. Seven suspected cases were reported and throat swabs have been sent for testing. The results are awaited.

Appendix 1 POSTTRAUMATIC HEADACHE h Arnold P. Friedman, M.D. and H. Mikropolous, M.D. A. INTRODUCTION Chronic headache as a sequela of head injury may follow all types and degrees of head trauma. The incidence of headaches following head in- juries varies in the literature from 28 percent to 65 percent. As emphasized by Denny-Brown (36) and his associate (1), it is evident that the complaints of the patient following head injury will vary not only with the manner and degree of injury but with the personality structure, compensation factors, and the environmental status. The present report is based on a series of 169 patients with posttraumatic headache seen at the Montefiore Hospital as a part of the follow-up study. More than one-half of the patients were of Latin and Semitic extractions, and less than 1 percent (only 1) was Negro. The family histories were not significant in their psychiatric aspects. Only five (3 percent) gave a history of any mental illness. From our inquiries, 146 patients (75 percent) had no neurotic or habit disturbances in infancy or childhood; enuresis and nail biting were reported by 12 patients (7 percent). One hundred and thirty-five patients (80 percent) were in active combat at the time of trauma, and 22 (13 percent) were in a combat area. During the first week following injury, 71 patients (42 percent) had no complaints, 17 (10 percent) were torpid, 9 (5 percent) were confused, and 5 (3 percent) were stuporous. Some 152 patients (90 percent) had fair or good school adjustment. Of this group, 44 (26 percent) were high school graduates, 59 (35 percent) had 1 or 2 years of high school, 20 (12 percent) had 1 or more years of college, and 11 (7 percent) had professional training. In this series it was found that 159 patients (94 percent) were headache- free prior to injury. Of the 10 (6 percent) who had pretraumatic head- aches, 7 (4 percent) were classified as suffering from tension headaches. The onset of headaches was immediate in 25 patients, within 1 week in another 25, and within 1 month following injury in another, a total of 93 men (55 percent). Ten percent of the total group developed headache between 1 and 6 months and 13 percent after the sixth month and up to the fifth year. In the others, the time of onset is unknown. In over 50 percent of the patients (86), the onset of headache was abrupt. 165
OCR for page 165
In 118 patients (70 percent) the duration of posttraumatic headache was over 5 years. In eight (5 percent) it was less than 2 months. In 85 (50 percent) severity of headache was indicated as moderate, in 42 (25 percent) it was severe, and in the remaining 25 percent it was variable. Thirty-four patients (20 percent) had generalized headaches, 56 (33 percent) had localized polar headaches (bifrental, bitemporal, etc.), 56 (33 percent) had localized unilateral headaches, while the others were variously located. The most predominant quality was "dull and pressing," but the headaches varied from patient to patient and in each patient, and were described as sharp, pressing, stabbing, aching, burning, etc. Fifty-one (30 percent) had pain localized to the site of scalp injury. One hundred and thirty-five patients (80 percent) reported no spread of their headache, while 15 percent reported spread to the head, neck, or upper face. B. DURATION AND FREQUENCY In 12 patients (7 percent) the headaches were constant, and of the remaining 157 (93 percent) with periodic headaches, 51 (30 percent of the entire group) complained of one or more attacks per day, and 90 (53 per- cent) reported a minimum of 1 to 4 attacks per month. In the remaining group (10 percent) the attacks occurred approximately three times a year. In those patients with periodic headaches, attacks lasted from 30 minutes to 4 hours in approximately half of the patients, and less than 30 minutes in 10 percent. C. PRODROMATA No prodromata were noted in 159 patients (94 percent). In the remain- ing 10 the most common complaints were visual (i.e., scotoma, photo- phobia, blurring), gastric (nausea and anorexia), and emotional (difficulty in concentration, irritability, etc.). D. ASSOCIATED MANIFESTATIONS During an attack of headache the most common associated manfesta- tion was photophobia, which was noted by 37 patients (22 percent). Thirty-four (20 percent) complained of gastric disturbances, i.e., anorexia or nausea, and of this group 12 (7 percent) had vomiting. Neurological complaints as associated manifestations were not noteworthy; a few com- plained of tinnitus. Twenty-five (15 percent) complained of vasomotor phenomena, which included chilly feelings, sweating, coldness, warmth, etc. Fifty-four (32 percent) did not have any associated mental or emo- tional symptoms with their headaches. Of the remaining 115, 106 re- ported irritability, 52 had difficulty in concentration, and 35 reported anxiety with depression. Of the group, 110 men (65 percent) had dizziness without true vertigo associated with the headache or as part of the post- traumatic syndrome. Such feelings were described as "unsteadiness" by a majority of the patients, but attacks of dizziness did not consistently occur with the headache, even in these men. Thirty percent of the patients were free of such symptoms and 5 percent had both dizziness and vertigo. Other associated manifestations were not particularly significant except that 34 (20 percent) reported general weakness and hypersensitivity to noise. 1M

E. TERMINATION OF ATTACKS One hundred and fifty-six patients (92 percent) reported that they had no symptoms accompanying the end of the headaches. The remaining 13 (8 percent) had a variety of complaints, including sleepiness, frequency of urination, etc. F. CONTRIBUTING FACTORS One hundred and one patients (60 percent) reported that mental or physical effort or fatigue precipitated the headache. Change in tempera- ture and weather was a predominant physical factor which the patients said was responsible for precipitating their attacks. In one-half of the patients emotional disturbances alone were responsible for producing an attack. One hundred and eight patients (64 percent) reported that rest and quiet would relieve their attacks, and 60 (15 percent) reported that lying down gave relief. In a small number of patients relief was reported after eating, mental effort, or application of heat. One-third of the patients reported that no specific maneuver helped their headaches. In one-half of the patients, headaches were aggravated by movement of the head. G. RESPONSE TO TREATMENT Only 22 patients (13 percent) received psychotherapy as prophylactic treatment for their headaches. Fifteen failed to respond, and 7 had mod- erate success. Symptomatic Treatment Coal tar derivatives were moderately effective in approximately 60 per- cent of the patients. Opiates, used in a few patients, gave good results. Sedatives, which were used in a very small number of patients, were effec- tive in only one-third. There are no data available on the use of com- binations of sedatives and coal tar derivatives. Data on prophylactic treat- ment by pharmacological methods were not available. 167

Joe Cole says Aston Villa must improve their home form next season.
For the past two seasons Villa have struggled at home.
Cole is keen to change the tide in that respect, and insists Villa Park should become a fortress.
"Villa Park has actually been a very difficult place for me to come and play as an away player.
"I remember at Chelsea we had a particularly bad record there and I don't think West Ham's was much better either.
"I know how difficult it can be for opposition players and we need to get back to making it that fortress.
"If we get a good start we know the fans will get right behind us and it's a good place to play.
"I think I've only scored one goal at Villa Park, in the quarter-final of the cup, so it's a tough place to play. I'm glad I'm on the home side now."

The young business owner sighed in frustration and stood up from beside the bed where he had been kneeling.
Once again, he had desperately asked for guidance, and once again, nothing had come to him.
His father had founded the company in 1952, but had died in 1980, leaving him in charge of the frail business at the age of thirty.
His greatest wish was to carry on his father's legacy, to act and make decisions as his father would have. But he felt inadequate to the task. More than anything, he felt alone.
Years had passed, and with every critical decision, he hit his knees and sought direction. And with every decision, he was left to make the decision on his own.
That night, his father came to him in a dream.
"Dad," he chided, "where have you been all these years? I've been begging you for help. I've asked for guidance so many times. I've done my best to continue building your business. But never in all these years have you ever shown me the way."
His father smiled. "Chris, we really don't care about the business up here," he said. "What we care about very much is who you become because of your business."
That true story* powerfully and profoundly expresses the core reason why I'm so passionate about entrepreneurship.
You can't unleash your greatness until you expose your fears and weaknesses. Your fears and weaknesses can't be exposed until you get out of your comfort zone. And the best way to get out of your comfort zone is to become an entrepreneur.
Fear is the result of false beliefs. False beliefs limit your potential more than any other factor.
To break through your limitations, you must reprogram your false beliefs. But you can't do anything about your false beliefs until you expose them, and you can't expose them until you face your fears.
Struggling to find your purpose? Wondering what mission you were born for? Trying desperately to conquer limitations?
Start a business. It could be any business. A small, local service business. An online business. A photography or a catering or a marketing business.
At the risk of losing subscribers, after starting and operating several small businesses since the age of sixteen, my recommendation is to start a network marketing business.
The start-up costs are incredibly low. You have virtually no overhead. You have no payroll. You don't need to worry about government regulation. No manufacturing, supply chains, or inventory (in most cases) to manage. Truly passive income can be developed — you don't have to be a self-employed slave to your business, trading your time for money.
And here is the greatest benefit of all — network marketing businesses are virtually risk-free. Start any other business and you have no idea whether or not it will fail.
With a network marketing business, there are only two risks: 1) the risk of being ridiculed and 2) the risk of not doing the work. Show up and do the work and ignore the haters and you are virtually guaranteed to succeed. There is no other business model on the planet that offers this.
NOW, LISTEN VERY CAREFULLY TO WHAT I'M SAYING: This is not some lead-in to pitch you on a network marketing company (although I am a proud member of two).
What I'm saying is that I want you to become the best person you can possibly become. I'm saying I want to do everything in my power to help you discover your God-given purpose and to live it with courage and power.
I'm saying that, other than maintaining a marriage and raising a family, I don't know of any more effective way for you to accomplish this than entrepreneurship. And for most people, I don't know of a better entrepreneurial path than network marketing.
I don't care what company you join or what product you pitch. What I care about is who you become in the process.
Every time you pick up that phone, and your knees are shaking and the butterflies in your stomach are churning and threatening to fly out your mouth, you are exposing your fears and weaknesses. By so doing, you are exposing false beliefs; fear is the result of false beliefs. And by exposing and dealing with your false beliefs, you are getting ever closer to discovering your greatness.
And think through this carefully: If your only risk is the risk of being ridiculed — and if that stops you from starting a business — are you ever going to do anything meaningful in your life? Is there anything worth doing, is there anything that will make a difference in this world that doesn't come with that risk, that doesn't require that fear to be conquered?
The world desperately needs your light, your love, and your leadership. But none of these can emerge until you conquer your fears and your weaknesses.
In the name of all things excellent and worthy of a child of God, I beg you to start a business. Because it's not about the business — it's about who you become.
*Story told by J. Christopher Lansing.

Another nuclear stumble by Air Force raises doubts
Thursday - 8/15/2013, 5:34pm EDT
AP National Security Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Another embarrassing stumble by the U.S. nuclear missile force, this time a safety and security inspection failure, is raising questions about the Air Force's management of arguably the military's most sensitive mission.
The head of nuclear air forces, Lt. Gen. James M. Kowalski, revealed to The Associated Press on Tuesday that the 341st Missile Wing at Malmstrom Air Force Base, Mont., had failed what the military calls a "surety" inspection -- a formal check on the unit's adherence to rules ensuring the safety, security and control of its nuclear weapons.
The 341st is one of three units that operate the Air Force's 450 Minuteman 3 intercontinental ballistic missiles, or ICBMs.
Kowalski, commander of Air Force Global Strike Command, said a team of "relatively low-ranking" airmen failed one exercise as part of a broader inspection, which began last week and ended Tuesday. He said that for security reasons he could not be specific about the team or the exercise, although he said the team did not include missile launch crew members.
"This unit fumbled on this exercise," Kowalski said by telephone from his headquarters at Barksdale Air Force Base, La., adding that this did not call into question the safety or control of nuclear weapons at Malmstrom.
"The team did not demonstrate the right procedures," he said, and as a result was rated a failure.
To elaborate "could reveal a potential vulnerability" in the force, Kowalski said.
In a written statement on its website, Kowalski's command said there had been "tactical-level errors" in the snap exercise, revealing "discrepancies."
Without more details it is difficult to reliably judge the extent and severity of the problem uncovered at Malmstrom.
On Capitol Hill, a spokesman for Rep. Howard "Buck" McKeon, R-Calif., chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, said McKeon believes that "two troubling inspections in a row at two different missile wings is unacceptable."
"It is his sense that the Air Force must refocus on the nuclear mission," spokesman John Noonan said. "The Air Force should hold failed leadership at the group and wing level accountable, recommit itself from the top down to the nuclear deterrent mission, and ensure a daily focus on its centrality to our nation's security."
In response to word of the failed inspection, the press secretary for the Pentagon, George Little, said the bottom line for nuclear forces hasn't changed: "Our nuclear forces remain fully capable and ready."
"While the fact that the unit made errors during this exercise is disappointing, this type of exercise is designed to push people to their limits and learn how to improve," Little said.
Asked whether the Air Force intends to take disciplinary action against anyone for the inspection failure, Kowalski said the Air Force is "looking into it." Overall, the 341st wing "did well," he said, earning ratings of excellent or outstanding in the majority of the 13 areas in which it was graded by inspectors. Those areas include management, administration, safety, security, emergency exercises, worker reliability and other facets of a mission that relies on teams of officers and enlisted personnel.
The acting secretary of the Air Force, Eric Fanning, will meet with Kowalski at his Barksdale headquarters on Wednesday to discuss the Malmstrom situation and other aspects of the broader nuclear mission, according to Brig. Gen. Les Kodlick, the top Air Force spokesman. Kodlick said the visit had been scheduled for "some time" and not in response to the failed inspection.
ICBM wings undergo multiple types of inspections. The one at Malmstrom was a "surety" inspection, which the Pentagon defines as "nuclear weapon system safety, security and control." The point is to ensure that no nuclear weapon is accidentally, inadvertently or deliberately armed or launched without presidential authority.
Kowalski said his command's inspector general has conducted 14 such inspections since early 2010 with just two failures -- both involving the 341st wing. The first was in February 2010. The second was this week.
The 341st also failed a safety and security inspection in 2008.
A different type of inspection of the 91st Missile Wing at Minot Air Force Base, N.D., in March of this year led the deputy commander of the wing's operations group to complain of "rot" in the force. Technically, the wing passed that inspection, but its missile crews earned the equivalent of a "D'' grade when tested on their mastery of Minuteman 3 launch operations using a simulator. The following month the 91st temporarily removed 17 officers from launch control duty -- the first time such a large number had been pulled from duty.

Right here and now we are going to look at the best and worst of the NBA Slashies (that's an actor/NBA star and not the other way around).
Let's start with the biggest slashie of them all. Big Shaq Diesel. I'm not sure there is a career he hasn't tried his luck at. Shaq has been panned for his acting and movies he has starred in. In Kazaam Shaq was a 7ft genie. This classic was rated 1.5 stars on IMBD. Blue Chips saw Shaq star with Nick Nolte as a college basketball recruit who was being paid under the table. O'neal has had small roles in the Scary Movie franchise, Grown Ups 2 and the worst movie I have ever seen Freddie Got Fingered (every terrible movie that I watch is compared to this howler). None of Shaq's movies have a rating of over 50% so Shaq might need to try something else. Other hoops heroes to star in movies have been Kevin Durant in Thunderstruck (terrible). A plethora of ballers in Eddie which starred Whoopi Goldberg (mediocre) and Ray Allen as Jesus Shuttlesworth in He Got Game (amazing).
For every NBA star or basketballer who has released a rap album you can blame Shaq. As a rapper the Big Diesel has released five albums, with his debut album 'Shaq Diesel' unbelieveably earning platinum record status. For me there is only one highlight in Shaq's rap career and that is his song Shoot Pass Slam. This is the influenza of raps… It's catchy. Watch it below.
Shaq also had a crack at a professional wrestling career. At one stage he was a special guest general manager for the RAW show and has often been touted as a future opponent for the Adonis that is The Big Show. Shaq also trains in MMA and even appeared on the UFC Undisputed video game as an unlockable character. He has fought 'The Golden Boy' Oscar De La Hoya on his television series 'Shaq Vs' but my favourite of all time was watching two other NBA mega stars enter into the WCW wrestling ring. Karl Malone and Dennis Rodman took trash talk to the next level and 'fought' each other on a WCW show. Check it out.
NBA ballers have also shown that they have big hearts. Helping out people in need wherever they can. Dikembe Mutombo started a self named foundation to improve the living conditions in his homeland of the Democratic Republic of Congo. He has been awarded numerous humanitarian honours and even started a hospital near his home. I'm not sure if the hospital was for victims of his blocked shots but that could be an idea for future Mutombo. Manute Bol was another legend of the NBA humanitarian game and, rumour has it, once killed a lion with a spear in Sudan while he was looking after his family herd of cattle. What a change that must've been for the big man. Killing lions one day and swatting shots in the USA the next. Manute had a huge heart. He helped out Sudan however he could. He wanted reconciliation in his home and spent and raised a great deal of money trying to do so. Eventually it was his big heart and an unfortunate gambling addiction which left him with nothing. This did not stop him from fundraising. At one stage he even became a jockey to raise money. Sadly Manute is no longer with us and in the cruellest of ironies contracted a rare skin disease while on a trip to Sudan which lead to the deterioration of his health and eventual death at just 47. On a lighter note, Dikembe fans have to play this game. It's a game sponsored by Old Spice where you play as Dikembe and get to save the world. Amazing…
I will now finish with the ultimate in all things outside of NBA. Let's forget about MJ when he tried to play baseball. Let's forget about all his 'retirements' and terrible draft choices. Let's remember the finest moment of his life outside of the NBA… Space Jam. The greatest basketball movie of all time. Somehow this movie has a rotten rating from critics on rotten tomatoes. Just 35%. 35%!. I am outraged to say the least. At the top of the official website under the rating there is a quote. 'A harmless mishmash of basketball and animation that'll entertain kids but leave adults less than thrilled'. Did these reviewers watch the same movie as me? I was enthralled. This movie had it all. Basketball. Cartoons. The Looney Tunes. Good Vs Evil. Bugs Bunny falling in love with Lola Bunny and the numerous sexual innuendos that went over the heads of the children who watched. Shawn Bradley. Charles Barkely. Larry Bird and Bill Murray. The real Bill Murray. The word legendary gets thrown around too much but I'm going to use it now. Space Jam and MJ's performance was and still is legendary. Even the website is amazing. It has not changed since the movie was released. It's like jumping in your own internet DeLorean… In other news apparently Jordan has some brand that's pretty famous as well.

What Chinese officials have learned about crisis management since the last earthquake
- By Isaac Stone FishIsaac Stone Fish is FP's Asia editor. A Mandarin speaker, he lived in China for seven years before moving to Washington, D.C. His articles have also appeared in the New York Times, the Economist, the Washington Post, and the Los Angeles Times, and he has appeared as a commentator on MSNBC, the BBC, NPR, Al Jazeera, and PRI, among others.

There's debate about the size of the earthquake that struck a rural region of China's southwestern Sichuan province on Saturday, killing at least 188 people and injuring more than 11,000 (Chinese seismology officials measured the quake at 7.0 while the U.S. Geological Survey pegged it at 6.6 — a huge gap). But it is nevertheless a much smaller earthquake than the magnitude 7.9 one that hit nearby Wenchuan County in May 2008 and killed more than 87,000 people.
That earlier earthquake dominated Chinese conversations and the news cycle in the months leading up to the 2008 Beijing Olympics, and "changed the way many Chinese people talked about government accountability, charity, and citizenship," the New Yorker's Evan Osnos writes. The biggest controversy surrounding that earthquake was the disproportionately large number of children buried to death after flimsy government-constructed schools — from which local official officials had siphoned off money — collapsed.
It appears that no schools collapsed in Saturday's quake, but it's too early to know for sure. (It's also not clear whether schools in Lushan County, where the quake hit, withstood the disaster because they were better built or because the quake was much weaker than in 2008.)
The Wenchuan earthquake also helped propel dissident artist Ai Weiwei, who created a project to find the names of the dead schoolchildren, into the public eye. On Monday, Ai tweeted a link to a December 2012 YouTube video featuring the names of 4,851 children who died from the 2008 earthquake in white letters scrolling down a black screen. He managed to find roughly 80 percent of all the children who perished; the video is nearly an hour and a half long.
Unlike the previous earthquake, this one took place in the age of Weibo — the micro-blogging platforms similar to Twitter. Sina Weibo, the most influential, launched in August 2009 and now has 500 million users. An article published Monday in People's Daily, the official mouthpiece of the Chinese Communist Party spoke of the "maturity" with which Chinese netizens are approaching this earthquake as opposed to in 2008, which helps "stop the spread of rumors."[i.e., politically inconvenient information, sometimes false, sometimes true.]
Generally speaking, Chinese officials have a better sense now than they did five years ago that corrupt and embarrassing actions on their part could go viral on Weibo, which in turn could end their careers or lead to their imprisonment. Last year, for example, one official became the object of ridicule for flashing a fancy watch at the scene of a deadly bus crash.
Ai, who has more than 212,000 followers on Twitter and has sent almost 90,000 tweets, has been relatively silent on this earthquake, focusing more on dissidents like Tan Zuoren, who investigated the deaths of schoolchildren after the 2008 earthquake. Tan was sentenced to five years in prison in February 2010 for "inciting subversion of state power" by criticizing the government's handling of the 1989 student protests and its bloody aftermath, but his supporters believe it was his work on the Sichuan earthquake that led to his arrest.
So far, officials have not taken much heat for their response to the most recent earthquake. A sign that the government has learned a thing or two since 2008? Check out this official in the white-button down looking properly somber, with hands clasped in front of him, during a meeting with Premier Li Keqiang in Lushan this week. There's no watch on his wrist, and one can't help but notice a very obvious watch-shaped tan line.

This industrial controller has been upgraded with Advanced sensor-based robot capabilities, as identified during previous ESA studies. The DLR End Effector, which is a highly sensorized smart end effector, already tested in space during the D2 mission, has been interfaced to the controller to provide additional sensing capabilities (Force / Torque, distance, tactile).
This approach has been preferred to the development of an "ad-hoc" space robot controller for two main reasons:
Main result of this activity is the production of a SPARCO breadboard and its integration in the CAT testbed at ESTEC Robotics Laboratory.
For what concerns sensor-based control techniques, impedance control was considered; this technique allows the execution of most in-contact tasks with relatively low implementation effort.
The system was developed to accommodate, in the future, also other sensor-based control techniques, as hybrid force-position control and control based on distance and proximity sensors. Furthermore, to easy program development, the user of SPARCO breadboard is given a set of library, to perform basic in contact operations.
According to ESA top-level requirements for the designated application / scenario (CAT Testbed), the system shall be capable to execute a set of in-contact tasks like ACTUATE, OPEN, CLOSE. INSTALL, REMOVE, with defined performances.
Aim of Activity Analysis is to break down such tasks in Actions. An Action is uniquely mapped to a well precise control concept. There are two many action categories:
After having characterized actions with specific attributes, each action was further decomposed in smaller parts, corresponding to already existing or new functionalities to be added in the robot control Software.
The major effort in the SPARCO activity was to implement in the already existing robotic system new functionalities to deal with robot actions in which there is contact between End Effector and environment and forces are generated due to uncertainty of the environment.
The designated control concept has been the impedance control, aiming to assign a relation between such forces and displacement of End Effector w.r.t. the nominal desired position. During in-contact tasks, the control goal is to make the End Effector behave like a mass-spring-damper system, whose parameters can be arbitrarily specified. This is achieved calculating a correction in the Cartesian space prior to inverse kinematics and through an outer control loop independent from the inner one in charge of position control at joint level.
The correction is calculated by processing Force / Torque sensor readings aquired by the DLR End Effector sensors.

When Sarah Schulman discovered that deceased librettist Jonathan Larson had lifted the bisexual love triangle from her 1990 novel People in Trouble for the subplot of his hit musical Rent, she considered the "real slap in the face" to be his replacing the original lesbian point of view with a straight male perspective, turning her expose of homophobia into an example of what she calls the "Theatre of Resentment." The story of her frustrating attempts to interest either lawyers or the press in her case makes up the first third of her newly published book Stagestruck: Theatre, AIDS, and the Marketing of Gay America (Duke University Press, $14.95). Schulman devotes the rest of the book to countering what she sees as the trend that underlies such disinterest: The public's willingness to accept "fake" images of African Americans, gays and lesbians, and people with AIDS, she says, serves to supplant "real" art created from these groups' own viewpoints.
In the second third of Stagestruck, she rewrites the history of the 1996 New York theatrical season by reporting on over a dozen new plays and revivals that ran simultaneously with Rent, all of them representing the realities of racism and homophobia glossed over by the "Benetton-like sheen" of Larson's musical. In the final chapters, she throws down the gauntlet to the queer community, charging us with capitulating to niche marketing that represents us as being just like privileged straight people, except maybe we drink a different brand of vodka. From this capitulation it's only a short step to convincing ourselves that Rent is a great musical about the AIDS crisis.
Schulman wants to be part of the mainstream, all right, but only in her proper guise as a powerful American lesbian writer and intellectual. With any luck, Stagestruck will generate the kind of discussion in American letters that Schulman's ideas deserve.

Memorial Day this year for local schools could be characterized as an opportunity for good life lessons from earlier bad weather as city and county schools were in session for the annual holiday.
One example of this was the dedication of a memorial garden at Flat Rock Elementary Monday. Earlier school officials sought the names of late community members who served in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard or National Guard
Monday afternoon, students and staff wearing red, white, and blue met at the elementary school flag garden created through STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) lesson plans, as names of the servicemen and servicewomen were read aloud. Assistant Principal LuAnne Llewellyn said final results of students collecting pennies to pay for the granite marker's engraving are still coming in.
"It is an honor and our responsibility to remember those who served, and sacrificed their lives in the process. This memory garden offers present and future generations a dedicated place to honor the past, and respect those who gave the ultimate gift of life. Flat Rock Elementary School remembers you," said Principal Tracey Lewis. "Our memory garden becomes the cornerstone of our future outdoor learning center. We have received a grant from Lowe's Home Improvement to add to our outdoor area."
Fallen military servicemen and women named at Monday afternoon's ceremony and the wars they served in named at the ceremony included:
Iraq War: North Carolina Army National Guard First Lt. Leevi K. Barnard, North Carolina Army National Guard Pfc. Adam L. Marion
Afghanistan: Army Sgt. Anton J. Hiett
Vietnam War: PFC Donald Edward Fletcher, SP4 Harlan Kenneth Gammons Jr., PFC Gary Dale Hicks, Capt. James Rawley Jones and SP4 Mont Steve Smoot
WWII: William Rodger Boyd of Ararat, Virginia
Special Guests for the ceremony included Monroe and Peggy Donathan. Wesley Freeman, Life Scout, former Flat Rock student and a North Surry High School student, played "Taps" to conclude the ceremony. Hot dogs and hamburgers for families were served after the ceremony.
"We served 400 more hot dogs and hamburgers outside of what we normally serve," said Llewellyn. "We had seven pages of parents who signed in so we were thrilled at the turnout." She said a $5,000 grant from Lowe's Home Improvement to the school will allow additional raised beds to be built.
In fact, Memorial Day activities were held in all county and city schools Monday. Franklin Elementary featured a parade of students and a Memorial Day assembly. Jones Intermediate School's holiday activities included a "student promenade" as children filed out to take part in the solemn activities around the flag which was at half staff.
A tactical vehicle from the Surry County Sheriff's Office and a large ladder truck from the Mount Airy Fire Department displaying a huge American flag also were featured in addition to 911 tribute songs being played throughout Jones with veterans being escorted into the assembly led by a student honor guard.

How To Make 96,000lbs of WWII Machinery Into High-Tech Research Platform 150
from the what's-old-is-new dept.
This type of reuse of ex-military kit quite often happens, although not normally so long after it was originally used. I'm not sure if it's still running on the same engines but I know that the Lovell Radio Telescope at Jodrell Bank (UK), at one time the largest movable dish telescope, originally had a lot of parts cannibalised from engines taken from two battleships. Lovell, the maker of the telescope, had also previously been using quite a lot of reclaimed military kit for his astronomical observations before the actual radio telescope was built.
After WWII German Würzburg 'Riese' GCI radar antennas were repurposed for radio astronomy. Some of them remained in use at least into the 1980s. I wonder if any are still in use?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W [wikipedia.org]ürzburg_radar
http://www.astron.nl/~leeuwen/video/dloo/JAHH9p3.pdf [astron.nl]
While what your saying is correct, I think it's more for the ability to handle weight.
while the platform is about 42MT ( 96,000 lbs in case someone needs that )
the original machine gun turret has a low weight of about 80MT ( the Yamato's were in excess of 2200MT )
so I'm thinking it's for that ability.
Dead? No excuse for laying off work.

There was a little bit of BDSM in it. Not enough for me to qualify as BDSM, but enough for me to consider it deliciously kinky. Ms. Cooper writes hot sex scenes that are raw and arousing. I can always count on this from her. This is a new twist of a story where the main story is about a murder. I was guessing the entire time and it was a pretty slick ending. Ever scene even the ones I figured were pointless tied back in to explain the ending.

Take a look at Orange County's juvenile crime statistics and you're in for a sobering reality check.
In a five-year period, from 2004 through 2008, juvenile referrals to the Orange County Probation Department jumped 48 percent, to 13,873, even as the population grew by less than 5 percent.
There was a slight downturn in 2009 (a total of 12,913 referrals), but that's nothing to write home about. Home, however, is exactly what I zoomed in on when I set out to discover what's happening with our children.
Or more to the point: What's happening with parents? It's a question that I put to experts who deal daily with kids who are either already in, or believed to be at risk for crime, drugs, gangs and other potentially life ruining decisions.
I get that there's frustration felt by people who are tired of news about the latest youth-related crime. But berating the youth doesn't get anybody anywhere. The questions are how did they get there in the first place, and can something be done about it?
So I asked a juvenile court judge, a sheriff officer, an elementary school principal and a supervising probation officer – how their lives and their work would be different if parents did their job. I also asked them what they've done to help mothers and fathers do their job as parents better.
Perhaps nobody is in a better position to address this issue than Sheriff Officer Juan Villegas, a 20-year veteran of the Orange County Sheriff's Department and an instructor for the past nine years for the Orange County Bar Foundation's SHORTSTOP juvenile crime diversion program.
Both on the job, providing security at numerous county facilities, including Juvenile Hall, and off the job as an instructor for SHORTSTOP, Villegas has seen the worst of it: From juvenile sex offenders to 13-year old girls selling crack cocaine.
A common thread, he says, is parents who aren't being parents, either through ignorance or fear or their own lack of control.
Villegas minces no words.
"The problem is not the kids," he says. "The problem is that the parents have failed the kids."
"I don't know anybody who says 'When I grow up I want to be a drug addict.'... Learning what's right and what's wrong — that comes from the parents," he adds.
Hoping to offer parents something more than just a pamphlet, Villegas set out five years ago to write a book that could guide them. In December, he published "La Vida Tiene Valores" ("Life has Values"), a parenting book in Spanish. In it, he tackles everything from domestic violence to tips on how parents can work on their personal development.
Many juveniles Villegas deals with come from single parent homes (primarily single moms), while others hail from homes where domestic violence upsets the family dynamics. Often, the parents never set rules for their kids, then despair when their children become out of control teens.
"Some parents tell me 'I'm trying to do what everybody else does, be a friend to my kid.' I tell them 'You're more than a friend, you are a parent,'" says Villegas, who has a 9-year-old daughter.
Villegas grew up with two active, watchful parents in his house. They discussed morals, he says, and how to do the right thing. If he mentioned he wanted to wear khakis, the response was a firm "no." They knew who his friends were and were always involved.
If parents of the youth he works with did their job?
Villegas has a simple answer:
