Solar parallax
The basic method used for determining solar parallax is the determination of trigonometric parallax. In accordance with the law of gravitation, the relative distances of the planets from the Sun are known, and the distance of the Sun from Earth can be taken as the unit of length. The measurement of the distance or parallax of any planet will determine the value of this unit. The smaller the distance of the planet from Earth, the larger will be the parallactic displacements to be measured, with a corresponding increase in accuracy of the determined parallax. The most favourable conditions are therefore provided by the observation, near the time of opposition, of planets approaching close to Earth. The determination can be based either on simultaneous or nearly simultaneous observations from two different places on Earth's surface, or on observations made after sunset and before sunrise at the same place, when the displacement of the place of observation produced by the rotation of Earth provides the base line for the measurements.
The first reasonably accurate determination of the Sun's parallax was made in 1672 from observations of Mars at Cayenne, French Guiana, and Paris, from which a value of 9.5″ was obtained.
Methods depending on velocity of light are also employed to ascertain solar parallax. The value of the velocity of light has been determined with very high precision and may be utilized in several different ways. A direct method is the converse of the procedure of Ole Rømer in the discovery of the velocity of light; i.e., to use the light equation, or time taken by the light to reach us at the varying distances of Jupiter, but great accuracy is hardly obtainable in this way. A second method is by means of the constant of aberration, which gives the ratio of the velocity of Earth in its orbit to the velocity of light. As aberration produces an annual term of amplitude 20.496″ in the positions of all stars, its amount has been determined in numerous ways. Observations made at Greenwich in the years 1911 to 1936 gave the value 20.489″ ± 0.003″ leading to the value 8.797″ ± 0.013″ for solar parallax. This method is not free from the suspicion of systematic error.
The velocities of stars toward or away from Earth are determined from spectroscopic observations. By choosing times when the orbital motion of Earth is carrying it toward or from a star, astronomers are able to determine mathematically the velocity of the Earth in its orbit. In this way the solar parallax was found from observations at the Cape of Good Hope to be 8.802″ ± 0.004″.
Radar measures of the distance from Earth to Venus have provided the best determination of the solar parallax. By measuring the flight time of a radar pulse to Venus, the distance between the two planets can be obtained, allowing the determination of the unit distance between Earth and the Sun.
The present value for the astronomical unit is 149,597,871 km (92,955,807 miles). The principal limitations of using radar to measure the astronomical unit are the dependence on knowledge of the planetary orbits, the uncertainty in the value of the velocity of light, and the possibility of electromagnetic effects in the Earth–Venus plasma delaying the radar pulse.
Gravitational methods are still another means of determining solar parallax. In lunar theory there is a term of period one month known as the parallactic inequality. The coefficient of the term contains the ratio of the parallaxes of the Sun and Moon as a factor. The coefficient's large size makes it of value.
The ratio of the combined mass of Earth and the Moon to that of the Sun may be determined from the disturbing action of Earth and Moon on the elliptic motion of the planets. The ratio of the Moon's mass to that of Earth is 1/81.30, and thus the ratio of Earth's mass to that of the Sun is found. In a manner similar to that described above for the Moon's parallax, the solar parallax is then derived.
Stellar parallax
The stars are too distant for any difference of position to be perceptible from two places on Earth's surface, but, as Earth revolves at 149,600,000 km from the Sun, stars are seen from widely different viewpoints during the year. The effect on their positions is called annual parallax, defined as the difference in position of a star as seen from Earth and from the Sun. Its amount and direction vary with the time of year, and its maximum is a/r, where a is the radius of the Earth's orbit and r the distance of the star. The quantity is very small and never reaches 1/206,265 in radians, or 1″ in sexagesimal measure.
Using a heliometer designed by German physicist Joseph von Fraunhofer, German astronomer Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel was the first to measure stellar parallax in 1838. Choosing 61 Cygni, a star barely visible to the naked eye and known to possess a relatively high velocity in the plane of the sky, Bessel showed in 1838 that, after correcting for velocity, the star apparently moved in an ellipse every year. This back-and-forth motion was the annual parallax. Astronomers had known for centuries that such an effect must occur, but Bessel was the first to demonstrate it accurately. Bessel's parallax of about one-third of a second of arc corresponds to a distance of about 10.3 light-years from Earth to 61 Cygni, though Bessel did not express it this way. (The nearest star known is Alpha Centauri, 4.3 light-years away, with a parallax of about 0.75″.)

OK, all this is kinda confusing for a dimwit like me. But . . .
The OEM rear moto wheel and tire for a 1150GSA is 150/70-17 with a diameter of about 25.5". Right now, I have a 155/80-15 Vredestein Snow+ car tire on the rear with a diameter of about 25". So I've lost about 1/4" in rear axle height because axle height depends on radius, not diameter. If I was to mount a 165/65-15 Vredestein Snowtrac 3 with a diameter of about 23.5" that would drop my rear axle height about 1".
That means then to balance out the front and rear, I'd need to drop the front axle by about 1" too. The OEM front tire is around 26". A 145/65-15 (like the Blizzak) according to that TacomaWorld calculator should run around 22.4" which sounds a little too short. With a 145/80-15 (Michelin, Firestone and Nankang make 'em) I get a diameter of about 24.2 which is just about right (.9" drop in axle height.)
But to complicate matters, I have a DMC trail reducer on the forks which is going to lower the front ride height, and a big spring (a 15-62) on my front Ohlins that heightens the front.
I'm thinking that maybe I should simply park the loaded rig on a flat piece of asphalt and get a buddy to take some pics from the side with me and Kirby on board. If it "looks" OK, then it's OK. If it "looks" too tall up front then it is, and if it "looks" too short, then it's too short.
I wonder how everybody else does this? Like when a builder is making custom leading-link forks for an outfit, how do they figure out how tall to make them?
After all this blather, I do have a question for DaveBig. I know that you've got the Dedone-style lower fork mount (so it doesn't change your ride height) and you have the OEM front shock with a 13-56 spring. With the Nankang 135/80-15 on the Stroker wheel, what is the height of your front axle from your garage floor? Is it, in fact, 11 3/4"?

Horne found a home in Arizona
ANAHEIM Travel-ball teammates as teens in San Diego, Malcolm Thomas of San Diego State and Jamelle Horne of Arizona have played against each other once in college, but now they're one game away from possibly meeting again for a berth in the Final Four.
Asked in Wednesday's interview sessions at the NCAA West Regional for his recollections and assessment of Horne as a younger player, Thomas immediately summoned up one word:
Thomas was referring to Horne's talents, of course, but he might also have been talking about the road that brought Horne to the Sweet 16. Before heading to Arizona, Horne played at three different high schools, including one year at what then was known as University of San Diego High, a junior year at Hoover and senior season at San Diego High.
Since becoming a Wildcat, too, Horne has played for four different head coaches. Lute Olson was the legend who brought Horne to Tucson, but he took a leave of absence and turned the program over to assistant Kevin O'Neill, now head coach at USC. Russ Pennell was named interim coach for 2008-09, but despite an appearance in the Sweet 16, he was not retained and the head-coaching position went to Xavier's Sean Miller.
"Continuity's such a big part of a young person's development, knowing what to expect and having expectations placed on them," Miller said. "Jamelle's come a long way, both maturing as a person and coming a long way as a player in two years with us from an attitude perspective. He's a part of the reason for the season we've had."
Given the way he bounced around in high school and the near-constant upheaval his first two years at Arizona, perhaps more remarkable than Horne's third NCAA Tournament experience is the simple fact that he's still with the vaunted U of A program.
"I didn't want to bail," Horne said. "I made a commitment."
Though he was highly recruited as a Caver — he said San Diego State was among his considerations — Horne has not been the star some thought he might be when joining La Costa Canyon product Chase Budinger at Arizona. There's only one of those on the Wildcats, forward Derrick Williams, who no doubt will be drawing an immense amount of Duke's attention tonight.
Miller has changed the dynamics at Arizona, once a high-flying, high-scoring program that's now more about physicality, man-to-man defense and depth. The 6-foot-8, 225-pound Horne is one of 10 different Wildcats who averages more than 10 minutes of playing time per game — he's at 18.3 — with a scoring norm of 6.1 points per game.
"It's a special team," Horne said. "We have 11 guys who can play, 11 guys who can go for 20 on any given night."
His first three years were rough ones all around in Tucson, especially when last season ended short of the NCAA Tournament for the first time in a quarter-century, and Horne was a natural target of derision.

Web Letter
Thanks for this excellent perspective on the events surrounding the G20 summit in Pittsburgh. Mr. Eshelman really hit the nail on the head in the way he described the strangeness of tho scene here last week. I was there for the protests Thursday afternoon and have been trying to really understand what happened.
Eshelman makes a great observation, "Rather than communicating with the general public, protesters so isolated become engaged in a rehearsed ritual of confrontations with the police that the police will win." That's exactly what it was. Some moderate percentage of the protesters were seasoned activists, mostly out-of-towners who show up at all of these things. Some small percentage of them were looking for a confrontation. Or if not looking for one, they were ready, even eager, for it.
But most of the people there were regular people. A lot of young folks who had a nagging sense that their interests are largely unrepresented, and wanted to show themselves in the street.
For what it's worth, near the end of the article I think the author means to say Phipps Conservatory, not Phipps University. There are two universities in that area: University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon.
Thanks again for this solid piece of journalism. It scratched a nagging itch in my brain that's been there since Thursday.

652 candidates verify documents since June 5
As many as 652 candidates appeared in person for the document verification for Common Entrance Test rank holders at the helpline centre at Government Engineering College here since June 5.
The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) set up the centre to help candidates from Hassan and parts of Tumkur, Chikmagalur and Mandya districts. KEA coordinator B.M. Jagadeesh told The Hindu that the interactive session conducted by the KEA ahead of document verification was helpful for students.
Meanwhile, a section of students, particularly those from rural areas, suggested that the KEA make arrangements to help them go through the online counselling without confusion. Ravi from Mallenahalli in Chikmagalur district, who is aspiring to get a seat in one of the agriculture colleges, said: "I have not used computers so far. I have to depend on others to make option entry online and follow-up further process," he said.
Ravi said the KEA should conduct training sessions at the centres to help candidates access internet and make option entry.

Boston Marathon: RI Trooper Doesn't Consider Himself A Hero
Rhode Island State Police trooper Roupen Bastajian had just crossed the finish line of the Boston Marathon when the bombs went off. He was one of many who rushed into the chaos to help the injured. He talks with Rhode Island Public Radio's Catherine Welch about that day and how it's changed him a year later.
Last year's marathon was the 117th and 117 is Bastajian's badge number. It was a beautiful day, other state troopers were also running the marathon and he did it, he crossed the finish line. Minutes later, as he was on his way to the medical tent, the first bomb exploded.
Do you have insight or expertise on this topic? Please email us, we'd like to hear from you. email@example.com

Darryl Willis wears polo shirts and always says the right things: His father was in the oil business. He has cousins who fish. His mom lost her home to Hurricane Katrina. In addition to the TV ads, he is featured in newspaper ads and has made the rounds on television news shows.
Detractors say he is a shill for the company, that he is allowing himself to be used so for the benefit of BP. Supporters say Willis is sincere and authentic and that the company is tapping into a great asset who is both reassuring and effective. African Americans on the web seem to be split between those who are wary and mistrust the intentions of BP to those who are proud to see a Black man with all of that responsibility.
BP has a long way to go. The effects of this spill will linger for many years. It is not certain that BP will even stay out of bankruptcy court, much less see the cleanup through until the end.
Having found a spokesperson who can connect with the people -- whether you believe it was fate or fabrication -- has helped to keep BP in the game. In the end however, marketing, advertising and public relations will not save them; that will take years of responsible decisions carried out flawlessly.

Election a eulogy for America of old
This election suggests that the America of past generations is gone. The Obama supporters have forgotten, or never learned those values that made the country great, like hard work, personal responsibility, and selflessness. They have long ago forgotten the inspirational words of John F. Kennedy, Democratic leader from a bygone era, who called for some of that selflessness when he proclaimed, "Ask not what your country can do for you ... " That's exactly what today's voters are asking. They are inspired by promises of free contraceptives, free health care, and free education. In fact, they demand nothing less than cradle-to-tomb care guaranteed by the government, and funded by the taxpayer.
There was another world leader from Kennedy's era who comes to mind. He said something not particularly inspirational, but just as memorable. In 1956, Nikita Khrushchev, first secretary of the Communist Party of the USSR, predicted the demise of capitalism and free enterprise, announcing to the West, "We will bury you." Fifty-six years later, his prediction has come to pass.

This summer saw huge numbers of visitors at popular spots like Crater Lake and the Four Pass Loop. As Aspen Public Radio's Marci Krivonen reports, forest service officials are working to educate the public before exploring solutions. Rangers in the Aspen Sopris Ranger District released a youtube video in October detailing the problems they saw this summer. Conundrum At Conundrum Hot Springs: Large Crowds Hurting Environment By Marci Krivonen • Jul 8, 2014 High Country News/hcn.org White River National Forest officials are concerned about overuse at Conundrum Hot Springs, outside Aspen. Forest Service staffers recently pulled more than 35 pounds of trash from the popular recreation area and the number of visitors continues to grow. Visitors hike from Aspen and Crested Butte to reach the hot springs in the Maroon Bells/Snowmass Wilderness. The area sees more than 3000 people each summer. Martha Moran with the Forest Service says the numbers are impacting the area's Wilderness character.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|3 nights
Escape to a northern Michigan lake country retreat, centrally located between Green and Duck Lakes in Interlochen, MI, 15 miles south of Traverse City. Traditional two bedroom and one bath cottage, recently remodeled with character left intact. Comfortably sleeps four to five…uncluttered, clean, and perfect for couples or small families. Wood floors throughout with a dining area, open living room , a cozy reading room, and a bathroom with shower/tub. Full kitchen includes: microwave, cooking utensils, toaster, coffee maker, stove/oven, pots/pans. Other features: a double bed, single bed, sleeper sofa, pillows, linens and blankets provided, and a washer/dryer for your convenience.
Very close to the Center for the Arts and all the other beautiful areas Northern Michigan has to offer.
For anyone visiting ICA but not wanting or able to stay on campus, this cottage/home would be an excellent choice. The photos on the website are accurate; the property is well-maintained and generously supplied with kitchen appliances, dishes, cooking essentials and more -- and plenty of towels. The owner was easy to work with, and the value is great. The Interlochen State Park is also very close for those wishing a swim in Duck Lake. Clean, comfortable, cozy, close to ICA.
Highly recommended!
Spent two weeks at the Cottage while my daughter was at summer camp at Interlochen. The cottage is only a mile from camp, and is a perfect base for exploring Northern Mi, and going to camp concerts or plays at night. Rooms are spacious and comfortable. The back yard is really a special place to relax, and birds are plentiful. Feels like you are a part of the neighborhood here, not just visiting. State park is just up the street for swimming. Would be great for both short and longer term stays.
This house is perfect for a couple or a family of 5. It is clean with a lot of neat decorations. There is a nice walking trail behind the house. You can easily ride a bike over to Interlochen Center for the Arts. It's also a very short distance from Duck Lake & Green Lake. Location is far enough off the road that you don't hear any traffic. I highly recommend this little house for an excellent getaway.
This is a charming, comfortable cottage a mile from the Interlochen Center For the Arts. You will love it.
We recently spent a few days at this cozy hideaway just across the road from the world-famous Interlochen Center for the Arts. The accommodations were more than adequate. The cottage was clean, attractive, comfortable and convenient to shopping, sight-seeing and more. The cottage is surrounded by a meadow with wildflowers and bordered by woods with a screen of trees covering the road at the entrance. This creates an environment of cozy seclusion seldom found in vacation cottages.
What a charming retreat from the hustle and bustle of big city life!!
The kids really enjoyed the spacious yard for exploring and the nearby trails and playground.We also enjoyed the close proximity to the Interlochen school/camp.We look forward to coming back.
Peaceful, yet only a short distance from a park/playground by following a pathway through the adjacent state forest. Enjoy music, dance, art, and theatrical performances at the world renowned Interlochen Center for the Arts (only a one-mile bike ride or walk). Fine dining, shopping and other entertainment is only 20 minutes away in Traverse City,which also includes the Cherry Festival and the nationally acclaimed Film Festival (summer only).Other nearby attractions include the quaint towns of Frankfurt and Empire with spectacular views of Lake Michigan. The unusual Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes are only 30 minutes away. Don't miss other inviting towns such as Beulah, where you can visit the famous Cherry Hut, or in Benzonia for the internationally famous Gwen Frostic Print Shop. Many of Michigan's finest vineyards and golf courses are located within a 30 minute drive.
Other Activities: canoeing, kayaking,hiking,swimming,bird watching, miniature golf,ice cream
Golf: Interlochen Golf Course-4 mi.

Technology has become a change agent when it comes to roles, processes and people in organizations. It has transformed modern-day workplaces in many ways. Typically, a CIO/CTO is considered as the torch-bearer of technology/IT in most organisations. The dramatic technology changes have taken computing from a back-room utility to a strategic operations role.
Today, we think of a CIO as a person managing a portfolio of technologies, people and processes. They drive innovation from information and technology. Above all, discover and manage talent in a way, that creativity and innovation become the bedrock of culture. On that note, TechGig.com Conversations kick-started the second edition of Boardroom Discussion on 'The Evolution of Role of CIO/CTO: Information and Technology to Innovation' in Pune.
The eminent panelists for the discussion were Ajit Pethkar, VP- CTO and CIO, Zensar Technologies, Jagat Pal Singh, CTO, Cybage, Charuchandra Kanade, vice president – IS, AllScripts, Abhay Ghate, CTO, Nihilent Technologies, R Venkateswaran, CTO, Persistent Technologies, Kesavan Srinivasan, CTO, Sears, Mandar Marulkar, head – IT & chief information security officer (CISO), KPIT and Mukul Kumar, co-founder and senior vice president of engineering, PubMatic.
CIOs/CTOs-The 'innovative' business enablers
Initiating the discussion, Abhay Ghate of Nihilent Technologies said, "Technology, with social media and mobility, has transformed the way business is being done. A CIO is no longer a person who supports business; he/she leads the business now."
Endorsing this change, Mandar Marulkar said that new technology offerings such as cloud, mobility, analytics, social has changed the traditional business game and showed how IT/CIOs can innovate and create different offerings for customers.
According to R Venkateswaran of Persistent Technologies, "The role of a CIO has been strengthened due to technological changes. If the CIO is not aligned with the business strategy, they will be left behind and get reduced to a support function."
To this Jagat Pal Singh of Cybage, added that in last 10 years, CEOs were only worried about how to get the business and what they need to get it. They were not aware of technology and how it is changing rapidly. "Today, they know what they need to deliver a task. This has put CIOs/CTOs on their toes to be ahead of technology and business."
Supporting this, Kesavan Srinivasan of Sears replied that business can challenge IT today. "No more can a CIO hold the key to the IT function. Business knows what can be done and what cannot."
"The rate of innovation in tech companies is very fast. To keep pace with it, CIOs should move fast, bring technology, reduce cost pressures, enhance efficiency and should stay ahead of the game," added Mukul Kumar of PubMatic.
Charuchandra Kanade of AllScripts described the CIOs role as a balancing act where they should allow innovation but take into consideration that it should not harm the infrastructure and should not create risk for the business.
Building Culture of Innovation
Many IT companies are losing their top talent to start-ups as they fail to provide a culture of innovation, within the organisation, which has become a necessity.
Kesavan Srinivasan: "To motivate employees, we host internal contests, provide them mentorship, expos them to new technologies and give them room to explore. We provide them the opportunity to fail and take risk, without any inhibitions. We are also including it in our performance analysis system."
Jagat Pal Singh: "We assure our employees that it is fine to fail, but the most important thing is to try new things as this leads to innovation."
R Venkateswaran: "When ideas come to us, they are half-baked. We tell our employees to think about it in a structured manner; we don't impose our views on them, only act as mentors to empower innovation in our organisation."
Mandar Marulkar: "To enable a culture of innovation, we have invested in a technology platform which allows us to hire employees from any part of the world and give employees' flexibility to work from anywhere, without compromising on the data security of our company."
Ajith Pethkar: "We are laying the foundation of a platform, where employees have financial independence and they can take risk to develop their ideas into products."
The panelists also said that it is essential for a CIO/CTO to stay aligned with the business strategy, to stay relevant. Their job is to enable innovation in the organisation, to motivate employees to take risk and think of disruptive ideas, and thus, contribute to the bottom line.

Reflector Sportswriter
PLYMOUTH — It is not by coincidence that the name Follett has shown up in the coaching ranks at Plymouth High School. The father-son track coaching duo of Mike and Jay Follett has been around Plymouth for a number of years but only this past season joined forces.
"It's been great working with Dad," Jay Follett said.
Jay Follett and his father were at Jesse Owens Stadium over the weekend tutoring two Plymouth boys' relay teams and Derrick Beers, who advanced in the 200 meter dash.
Jay Follett was back in his home-town coaching at the Plymouth Middle School two years ago and then moved up to the varsity track job last season while continuing to work at the Middle School with coaching veteran Marty McKenzie.
"I kind of fell into the head coaching job," he said. "That happening, it was a natural that I would seek the help of my father who probably knows the sport better than I do although I will never admit that."
Mike Follett, 53, coached Jay at Plymouth High and when Jay went to Ashland College in the fall of 1999, Mike assisted Ashland coach Dave Smalley with the sprinters.
And Ashland was a community Mike Follett knew well.
He ran for Ashland High School and was a state qualifier in cross country, running for Smalley who was then at the high school.
"No claim to fame at Ashland," Jay said. "I was non-scholarship, just enjoying running and it was nice to have Dad over there with me."
Ironically, neither of the Follett's teaches at Plymouth.
Jay is now a math teacher at Pioneer Vocational School, while his father retired this past year from Plymouth after teaching science for 35 years.
Jay Follett is elated at the numbers that came out for track this spring.
"Numbers are a huge asset because it creates competition," he said. "And competition makes for running excellence. Marty (McKenzie) remarked that the year after Todd Smart won the high hurdles title in Columbus, he had something like 60 out. This year we had 31 boys and 14 girls in uniform, our best numbers in years. We even had issues with uniforms and that's a nice problem to have.
"And the future is bright,'' Jay added. "We have proven juniors back along with some sophomores who stepped up big this year. The freshmen class is thin but possibly success over the next couple years will draw more of them to the sport. Our junior high group is very talented so if we are down for a year or two, we will be right back up there in no time."

2.6.6 kernel breaks NVIDIA driver?

Re: 2.6.6 kernel breaks NVIDIA driver?
Hello!!! This thread is about the newly released 2.6.6 kernal, not 2.6.6-rc or any of the mm's.
What part of this statement don't you understand:
" At present 4k stacks are selectable in config. When the feature has settled
in we should remove the 8k option. This will break the nvidia modules. But
Fedora uses 4k stacks so a new nvidia driver is expected soon"
So, the whole point is that NVidia has to keep up with Kernal development, 4kstacks is now the default and the option to change will soon disappear.
So, for the people who want fedora core2 (and that is me too) you can download the standard kernal source and compile(and have a unsupportable system) or you can wait for the new drivers.
And for all you SUSE, Debian and other distribution of the day people, you can thank the fedora folks for making sure that everything works when you get to 2.6.6.

Property Details
Villa, 1 Bedrooms, 1 Baths, 4 Sleeps
Unpack and enjoy the sun, read a book, sip a drink on your private patio or take a dip in the shared community pool next door. Our villa is situated near the end of a quiet street with a peaceful patio facing the East. Decorated in Southwest decor, the Villa is fully furnished and equipped and is located 100 yards from the shared pool and 50 yards from a coin-operated community laundry. A designated parking area is right outside with easy, flat access. For rentals of two months or more, we will add Green Valley Recreation membership for up to two tenants. This allows access to various recreational facilities, including several swimming pools and gyms, and activities.
We have access to another rental Villa across the street, so if you want to come with another couple (i.e. need two villas) we can arrange that too.

look elsewhere
During the time i was there,sink pluged up gate fell apart,kitchen chair backs were coming off,little things but anoying. Being a handy man i fixed them all. Back door won,t lock, too keys, only one will work,front door slams hard,must piss the neighbors off.
Two things i liked is the location and the owners were
nice to work with.
Also if they are paying to have it cleaned, they wasted there money.

Very sad
Terrible...hopefully the criminal will at least spend the rest of his days in a small cell.
Man why waste all the money incarcerating him for the rest of his life . Here is one instance where the death penalty is too humane . Death by long drawn out torture !!
