PORTLAND (AP) — Gary Quackenbush, a gun owner for 40 years, was stuck in a stiff, unforgiving theater seat. The movie he paid to watch was running three hours.
Quackenbush says he spent much of the "The Hobbit" wriggling, trying to get comfortable.
At some point, his pistol fell out of his holster.
The semiautomatic was loaded. According to police, its safety was off, and there was a round in the chamber.
Quackenbush, who was permitted under Oregon law to carry a weapon, says he didn't notice the empty holster until he was nearly home Tuesday.
He tried calling the Tillamook movie theater, but no one answered.
And when he arrived Wednesday to retrieve his weapon, he found some shocked middle school kids, a gaggle of press and a police officer.
A seventh-grader had found the loaded weapon under a theater seat and notified adults.
Quackenbush acknowledges that, if there was a bad year to leave a gun in a movie theater, it was 2012.
A few days after the slaughter at a Connecticut elementary school, earlier massacres at a Colorado theater and an Oregon mall many people across the nation are more concerned than ever about loaded weapons in public places.
Quackenbush said he always keeps the gun loaded with a round in the chamber because he never knows when he may have to use it.
"In a time of crisis like somebody barging into a mall or a theater, you don't have time to do a two-handed cocking of the weapon," he said in a phone interview. "It is my mindset everywhere I go."
Quackenbush said he lives in a rural area where bears and cougars abound. He said he's had to fire his weapon to scare off animals but he hasn't had to fire it at a person.
Mass shootings in recent months, including the one that killed 12 people at the Aurora, Colo., movie theater, could have been averted — or the casualties lessened — if someone besides the gunman had a loaded weapon, Quackenbush said.
"If somebody had been prepared, they could have stopped those perpetrators long before they were able to commit those horrific acts," he said.
Tillamook County Sheriff Andy Long said Quackenbush's case was handled by city police and information was forwarded to the county district attorney, who is considering whether to press charges.
A sheriff's deputy drove to Quackenbush's home Thursday and took his concealed weapons permit. Quackenbush can reapply for a permit as long as no criminal charges are pending, Long said.
"He shouldn't apply for it soon," Long said.
Quackenbush said that after trying to call the theater Tuesday, he spent a sleepless night pacing before he drove to the theater early in the morning.
"I'm totally appalled at the incident and embarrassed, and regret that I gave people distress," Quackenbush said.

For its weight, still quite durable. mine has held up to quite a few run ins with branches/brush. Limitless uses, great temperature range by itself or coupled with a base layer. get ya some
The Patagonia Houdini is my number one go to outer layer no matter what the weather! I wear it mid summer in the rain, I wear it in the spring for a little extra warmth and I wear it on long runs at -30 F. Excellent wind protection keeps you warm in the cold winter months and the lack of weight makes it an excellent summer coat.
Saw it in a store and thought, "Why the frost would someone make such a flimsy jacket."Then I continued on wondering why it was so expensive. I tried it on, it felt alright. When it fit in my pants pocket, I was intrigued. I went for it. That was about 3 years ago and it is my most worn jacket. I keep it in a tiny pouch on my tree climbing harness and I put it on when the wind picks up while I'm up in the canopy.Stop reading. Just get it.
I went to Cooper's Rocks for a bouldering adventure. When I got there, the rain was trickling, like the urine stream from my Yorkie's weewee. The jacket repelled every drop. Once at the crags, weary I would shred the fart thin material, I took it off. But when the wind picked up, I put it back on."Might as well test it I thought" I scuffed it up on some edge work, but the material is super durable and strong for as light as it is. When you rip it out of its self-sealed chest pocket, you start looking for the rest of it. GREAT GEAR! Great piece.
This thing was so sneaky it escaped right out of the package... The Houdini packs well and having the hood was a plus for me. It's only a single simple lining that, like Houdini himself, can help you escape the cold high winds without clobbering all the space in the pack. I used it on a 35 degree New York Day as an outerlayer with a simple fleece and was still warm. The elastic cuffs were a little loose, but didn't cause any wind to sneak-up in. I only hope that its "tent-like" thinness holds up to sharp-rocks and to my buddy's slapstick behavior of letting trail braches swing back at me.
Packs amazingly small. There is no reason why not to take it along it is so light and small. Unlike many other wind shirts, it is very breathable.It is not a hard shell so don't take it out in horrible rain and come back here complaining you got wet.For all of you who don't use a wind shirt it is an essential piece of gear and I highly suggest trying one out.Also, as with many wind shirts I don't suggest going out bushwhacking because it will likely tear.Last thing...Many wind shirts have a reputation of having no longevity. From everything that I can read this is one of the VERY FEW that does not suffer this problem.
Can't beat what you get for a few ounces of weight with this jacket. Packs to tennis ball size, great for stuffing in a leaders pack or on the harness. Blocks the wind and repels rain unless it's a downpour. I was a bit skeptical when I first got it but it's my go to jacket for climbing and trail running. As you would expect from a jacket of this weight and fabric, don't climb off-widths in this thing, it will shred!

Overall, literary developments in Eastern Europe were quite eventful in 1996. It was a memorable year for Polish literature in particular. For the first time, the Nobel Prize was awarded to a Slavic woman poet, Wisława Szymborska. (See NOBEL PRIZES.) A volume of Stanisław Czycz's best-known short stories, revised just before his death in 1996 and entitled Ajol i Laor ("Ajol and Laor"), was published. It concluded with a lengthy interview of the author by Krzysztof Lisowski. A selection of Czesław Miłosz's wartime essays, Legendy nowoczesnoshci ("Legends of Modernity"), in which he questioned certain modernist ideals and values, appeared. The second part of the volume consisted of his correspondence with Jerzy Andrzejewski from the same period. Miłosz also published a biographical work of his late friend the poet Anna Swirszczyńska, Cóz to za goshcia mielishmy ("What a Guest We Had"). The growing presence of women's voices was exemplified by Urszula Kozioł's volume of poetry Wielka pauza ("The Great Pause"). In it Kozioł employed her traditional poetic devices, such as the use of dialogue and digressions, yet added new elements such as poems related to her journeys or based on classical myths and motifs. Anna Burzyńska's novel Fabulant: Powiastka intertekstualna ("The Fabulist: An Intertextual Tale"), filled with quotations and parodies borrowed from classical or fashionable literary works, was considered one of the most interesting debuts of the year.
In the South Slavic region, literature continued to be at the centre of cultural life. The NIN award, the most prestigious of Serbian literary awards, was given to Svetlana Velmar-Janković for her novel Bezdno ("Bottomless"). Velmar-Janković, who belonged to the generation of writers born before World War II, was considered the most powerful woman writer of Serbian literature. Her new novel was a historical work set in the second half of the 19th century in Serbia. Among her characters were members of the Obrenović dynasty. The most important literary event of the year, however, was the publication of the late Borislav Pekić's essays Radjanje Atlantide ("The Birth of Atlantis"). Selected from his diaries after his death in 1992, they dealt partly with an account of the writing of his popular novel Atlantis. Another important collection of essays, Virtuelna Kabala ("The Virtual Kabbalah"), established Svetislav Basara as Serbia's foremost analyst of literary, historical, and cultural issues.
The English translation by Bogdan Rakić and Stephen Dickey of Meša Selimović's Death and the Dervish filled an important gap in the literature of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Although Selimović's first-person narrative took place in the 18th century in Turkish-occupied Sarajevo, it conveyed a universal truth about the dilemma of humankind during times of crisis. The Dominik Tatarek Literary Award for the best book of the year went to Ivan Kadlećik for Hlavolamy ("Brain Twisters"). Kadlećik was a prose writer, essayist, and former dissident who in the 1970s had been banned from publishing in his country. His new book consisted of monologues, aphorisms, and tales that interwove lofty ideas with banal concerns.
The literary scene in the Czech Republic remained as vigorous in 1996 as in previous years. One of the most popular contemporary Czech fiction writers, Michal Viewegh, published the novel Úcastnící zájezdu ("The Excursion Participants"). It was a grotesque description of participants attending a convention and was filled with tragicomic effects. In poetry Petr Borkovec, representative of the younger generation of Czech poets, published his fourth volume of poetry, Mezi oknem, stolem a postelí ("Between the Window, the Table, and the Bed").
Since 1989 a free press and the abolition of censorship had created a new period in the literary life of Romania. The most flourishing genre was nonfiction. Memoirs, diaries, and journals covering the period 1947-89 gave voice to the diverse experiences of a nation oppressed by the former communist regime. The trend was best epitomized by Mircea Zaiciu's Journal, an exceptionally vivid document whose third volume was published in 1996. Written from a personal point of view, it represented the tragedy of Romanian intellectuals silenced during the Nicolae Ceaușescu regime. The unprecedented growth and interest in the political essay was another literary phenomenon. Horia-Roman Patapievici's book of essays Cerul vazut prin lentila ("The Sky Seen Through a Lens") best represented the genre. In it the author questioned the previously idealized Romanian identity shaken by the 1990 miners' "revolt." In May 1996 Patapievici received an award from the Writers Union (Premiile Uniunii Scriitorilor) for the best book written by a beginner. The Writers Union awards, covering 10 different categories, and the annual book fair in Bucharest, were the main events in 1996. The book fair not only served as a showcase of literary talent but also was an event in which the entire literary establishment participated.
The main issue of Hebrew fiction since its revival in the 19th century, that of identity, was reflected in 1996 in novels dealing with the early days of Tel Aviv. They included Nathan Shaham's Lev Tel Aviv ("The Heart of Tel Aviv") and the new edition of Dan Tsalka's Filip Arbes. The same topic was explored on the one hand in a novel that went back to the Holocaust--Ori Dromer's O'ri ("My Skin")--and on the other in novels that examined Israelis in the United States, including Dorit Abush's Ha-Yored ("The Deserter") and Sam Bacharach's Shnei darkonim ("Two Passports"). The veteran writer Yehudit Hendel published the collection of stories Arukhat boker tmima ("An Innocent Breakfast"), and Gabriel Moked collected a number of his existential tales. Yossel Birstein penned the disappointing novel Al tikra li Iyov ("Don't Call Me Job"), and Aharon Megged examined again the inequities of the literary world in his novel Avel ("Iniquity").
The most interesting novel published by the younger generation in 1996 was Lea Aini's Mishehi tzrikha liheyot kan ("Someone Must Be Here"). First novels included Marit Benisrael's Asur lashevet al tzamot ("Let Down Your Braids") and Uzi Gdor's Biktzei ha-mahane ("At the Settlement's Edge"). First collections of short stories were represented by Shoham Smith's postmodernist-oriented Libi omer li ki zikhroni boged bi ("Things That My Heart Fails to Tell") and Yaron Avitov's Adon slihot ("Master of Forgiveness").
The main event in poetry in 1996 was the publication of Nathan Zach's Mikhevan sheˋani baSviva ("Because I'm Around"). Other significant books included Ory Bernstein's Zman shel aherim ("Temps des autres"), Avner Treinin's Maˋalot Ahaz ("The Dial of Ahaz"), and Roni Somek's Gan eden le-orez ("Rice Paradise").
Important critical studies included Avner Holtzman's work on the formative years of M.J. Berdyczewski and Shmuel Werses's book on Yiddish-Hebrew writers and the transformations of their works from one language to the other. The Palestinian writer Emile Habibi (see OBITUARIES) and the poet David Avidan died in 1996.

Australia finished off England in 11 overs on Monday to win the second Test by 218 runs and take a 2-0 series lead into Perth, where they're aiming to regain the Ashes with a third straight win.
England had been behind the game at Adelaide since dropping three catches late on day one to let Australia off the hook after taking three quick wickets. Australia recovered to make 570-9 declared, then Mitchell Johnson took 7-40 to skittle England for 172.
Australia cruised to 132-3 in its second innings before Clarke declared again, 10 minutes before play on day four, and setting England an improbable 531 to win.
"It's not a surprise we've had this success," Australia captain Clarke said. "We've got a very good team that are at the top of our game at the moment, so I'm extremely pleased."
Resuming on 247-6 on Monday, England was bowled out for 312. Joe Root (87) and Kevin Pietersen (53) prolonged the innings with a 111-run third-wicket stand on day four, and Matt Prior (69) batted defiantly until he was out hooking Peter Siddle (4-57) in the fifth day's rain-delayed session.
"On the first day we had an opportunity, we let a few catches go and they made us pay for that," England captain Alastair Cook said. "The main difference was Australia took their chances well. It's been a tough five days."
Mitchell Johnson was voted player of the match for the second Test in succession. "When Mitch bowls the way he did in that first innings, that makes life easier for all the bowlers," Clarke said. " I thought the whole bowling attack did another fantastic job in this match, so the other guys deserve a lot of credit as well."
After the start of play by was delayed 10 minutes, Stuart Broad pulled a six from Siddle on the fourth ball of the morning to drag England past 250.
But he was out trying the same trick to the next ball, pulling Siddle to Nathan Lyon at backward square leg to end a 45-run stand with Prior as England slipped to 255-7.
Prior passed his half-century and stroked boundaries in a 38-run eighth-wicket partnership until Graeme Swann (6) edged Ryan Harris to Michael Clarke at second slip.
After failing to post more than 180 in its first three innings of the series, Prior's cover drive off Siddle took England past 300 in the ninth over of the morning. But he was out next ball hooking Siddle to Harris.
Monty Panesar was the last man out, sparking celebrations in Australia.

Rockwell Collins unveils first touch-control primary flight display
By Darren Quick
July 31, 2011
For the first 50 years of computing, the input and output of a computer have been to different places. Mobile computing and the touch screen are quickly changing things though and the changes extend to the aircraft industry. At the 59th Annual Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Airventure in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, Rockwell Collins has unveiled the first touch-control primary flight displays (PFD) for business jets and turboprop aircraft, which will be available on future applications of the company's Pro Line Fusion avionics system.
The icon-based, touch-controlled interface is designed to make the cockpit more user friendly and keep the pilot's eyes focused up and forward instead of down at the center console. A tap of the display brings up a context-sensitive menu that lets pilots change things such as the speed, altitude and heading of the aircraft with just a couple of taps. Through the icon-based graphical user interface, the pilot can also manage aircraft systems, complete checklists, and review the flightplan on a scrollable map, all without taking their eyes off the PFD.
Through gesture controls, pilots can also redirect the aircraft to a graphically displayed waypoint or destination with a swipe of a finger instead of entering information on a console-mounted keypad. Other gestures control panning and zoom features, while a physical keyboard is retained for alphanumeric input rather than an onscreen virtual keyboard that was decided would cover up too much important information.
With a couple of taps, the screen layout can also be split into two, three or four windows and the elements of the individual windows customized by dragging and dropping icons to provide a wealth of relevant flight information at a glance. Rockwell Collins says the user-friendly, icon-based graphical user interface also cuts the learning curve for pilots transitioning to a new aircraft type.
"These displays demonstrate our focus on empowering pilots with natural head-up, eyes-forward interfaces," said Colin Mahoney, vice president of Sales and Marketing for Rockwell Collins. "Touch-controlled, icon-based controls on the main displays help keep pilots' attention focused up and forward for safer and more efficient flying."
Rockwell Collins expects to receive certification for the touchscreen interface in 2013, after which it is slated to appear in cockpits featuring its Pro Line Fusion avionics suite.
\"safer and more efficient flying\" ? You must be joking!! Get a friend to take you out in a car and while he (or she) throws it into a few curves, try to operate an app on your iPhone or iPad. See how many errors you make, how many times you open unwanted submenus or end up in a different app altogether. Touch screens are unusable in any situation other than a level, flat calm situation. They are well nigh inoperable in a crisis. When your flight hits turbulence just pray this guys at the front have nice positive, chunky, switches to fly with not (whoops!) touch screens.Doug MacLeod
Surely if they mount the display rigid to seat similar to that used in lifeboats (floating) then the air stewardess will be able to accurately touch buttons when seated securely, either that or make the screen/buttons very large!livin_the_dream

Research Interests & Collaborations
My primary area of interest includes the development of effective and efficient behavioral interventions targeting a wide range of health behaviors among various populations and contexts. In particular, I am interested in developing interventions targeting the intersection of sexual and reproductive health, including HIV, alcohol use and obesity among adolescents and young adults. I collaborate with Linda Collins, Lori Francis, Jennifer Savage-Williams and colleagues at UNC-Greensboro on projects using the multiphase optimization strategy (MOST). In addition, I work closely with Donna Coffman on using modern causal inference methods and Jennie Noll on understanding the impact of early child maltreatment on later sexual risk behaviors.

Reviews of The Best Bookkeeping Software Now Available At SoftwareReviewBoffin.Com
Software review website Boffin has published their latest reviews on the best bookkeeping software currently available. They found that several products are capable of efficiently managing finances, and Tiny Books, Basic Bookkeeping, and Bookkeeping for Realtors were named the top three software products in this category.
New York City, NY (PRWEB) May 19, 2013
The Boffin software review website has just released a set of bookkeeping software reviews informing its readers of the most efficient and reliable software products in this category. The Boffin reviewers examined a number of different bookkeeping software products, and concluded that Tiny Books for Macintosh should be the top bookkeeping software pick for 2013.
The basic parameters that guided the reviewers´ software evaluation were ease of use, efficiency, reliability, and accessibility. These factors defined the ultimate ranking for each software tested, and are what placed Tiny Books at the top. Despite being exclusively released for Mac computers, Tiny Books is a thoroughly efficient bookkeeping program especially suited for homeowners and small-size businesses, according to the Boffin website. The Boffin reviewers particularly praised the software's design as it allows the user to easily update their data and instantly understand their finances with a few clicks.
The runner-up bookkeeping software is Basic Bookkeeping, a software which also features a streamlined, logical user interface, making it equally efficient, according to Boffin reviewers. The Basic Bookkeeping software offers the whole range of possible functions, features, and tools that a small to medium business might seek for its bookkeeping needs.
The third top bookkeeping software is Bookkeeping for Realtors, which was awarded a three-star rating by Boffin. A professionally designed software for realtors, the Boffin reviewers argue that its combination of must-have features and user-friendly interface allow realtors to save valuable time otherwise wasted on tedious data entry tasks.
The Boffin website provided a disclosure accompanying the reviews on bookkeeping software stating that all top three software products had only marginal differences in many respects. Additionally, the website noted that Boffin reviews are never final; when new releases or upgrades are available, the Boffin website re-evaluates the software product and thus offers up to date reviews on bookkeeping software. The reviewers pay special attention to the three top software products, and the Boffin reviewers apply a "frequent review" policy making sure Boffin website visitors are always provided with the latest developments.
Software Review Boffin reviews the latest technological products in demand on the market right now. They provide expert, honest and straightforward reviews so customers can objectively measure if a product, especially software is well worth it before making their purchase.

continued The most expensive and burdensome dictates, which should be repealed, he said, were:
• The laws which restrict school boards in effective contract bargaining contracts with teachers' unions and virtually guarantee teachers raises in perpetuity;
• Laws that guarantee top wages for workers on school construction jobs, regardless of the local labor market;
• Restrictions on purchasing of materials and equipment that artificially boost prices born by taxpayers;
• State policies that dictate excess special education procedures and rules; and
• The state's Triborough Amendment, which guarantees teachers raises even while contracts are under protracted negotiation.
Blowers said this last dictate alone costs his school district $550 per year, and adds a burden of about $93.5 million to property tax bills annually across the state.
Rensselaer County Executive Kathleen Jimino said that unfunded mandates boost local taxes in the state so dramatically, they are 80 percent higher than the national average. She noted that in her county, money spent on the mandates spiraled 54 percent over the past five years, while local officials were forced to cut 11 percent from essential but non-mandated local services — which include paving roads, providing veterans' medical transportation and senior meals.
Brian Telesh, a G.O.P official from Clifton Park, called for change via the voting booth.
"Throw out the politicians that aren't voting against mandates, and keep the ones who are fighting for fiscal sanity," he said.
Former Guilderland councilman and reformist Mark Grimm endorsed Telesh's idea, urging citizens to recruit people untainted by politics to run for office and fight for fiscal sanity.
"New Yorkers will be dealing with unfunded mandates from now until doomsday unless we recruit the right new leaders," he said.
Saratoga County Clerk Kathy Marchione told the protesters how citizen outcry could make a difference.
She noted that in fall 2009, when the state tried to impose a requirement that all motorists buy new license plates, 110,000 citizens signed an online petition, and the mandate was dropped.

What You Need:
Cut your materials 1: Use the wire snips to cut a 4" piece of the wire for the eye, leaving 8" for the hook.2: Hold your tube alongside a ruler on a cutting board. Use your craft knife to cut the tube in two pieces, keeping the ends as straight across as possible: 1 piece 2" for the eye, 1 piece 4" for the hook.
Make the eye3: Thread the 4" piece of wire through the 2" piece of tube so the wire protrudes evenly out both ends. Make a wire wrapped loop on both ends, keeping the wrapped loops snug against the rubber. Bend the wired tube into a simple U shape for the "eye."
Make the hook 4: Thread the 8" piece of wire through the 4" tube, and make wire wrapped loops at each end as in Step 3. Bend this piece into a U shape, (this one will be longer than the first one) then bend the middle over to make a hook shape.
You can now attach a piece of jewelry in any way you desire—jump rings, crimped wire, linked wrapped loops. Of course, you can make this hook-and-eye without the tube, using 20 or 18 gauge wire for sturdiness. For some great inspiration on ways to try this clasp technique on other designs, the 2009 issue of Easy Wire is a must-have for your library. Enjoy!
FREE Easy Wire project! The style of my clasp may not be your cup of tea, but you'll find plenty of other styles among the 45 projects in the new issue of Easy Wire–like this gorgeous copper wire and lampwork bead Caramel Swirl Bracelet, for instance. Spiral copper wire in a unique pattern, and pair it with delectable lampwork beads.Download this free Easy Wire project here!

Great experience, great house. Especially impressed with the hospitality of the owners, basically making available everything in the house for our comfort, including groceries that were in the refrigerator and the cabinets
John's place is just amazing and perfectly described. The view out the back is breath taking. It's only a short walk to Castro and other areas. John made sure there wasn't anything we needed and made our stay perfect.
We stayed at John's place for a smooth weekend. It was more than enough space to sleep our group of 6 adults and 1 child. We did not expect NOE valley to be so awesome, but it was. Overall, I am very satisfied with our accommodation, the place was not only very clean, it was large and it fully stocked.
Warm comfortable house, well equipped with top appliances, spectacular views, great beds, cosy neighbourhoods, easy parking, superb host. Need I say more ? Thanks John we really enjoyed our stay in Noe Valley - and highly recommended this house and the location to any prospective renters.
Fabulous!!!! We are impressed with the spectacular view of San Francisco at John's place. The house was fully equipped with everything we need. Great location. John was very easy to work with and flexible with the check-out time for us. We really enjoy our stay and would love to come back again.
"Noe Valley" has been a perfect location for us (family of 6) to spend 5 days in SF.
The location is perfect, the house exactly as described (well equipped, in style, you feel home immediately) and John was available when required...but also leave you in peace when you want...just great.
Thanks for the great SF experience John!
Very organized--all directions for entering, occupying, and leaving the house were well laid out in the email we received in advance of our visit. It was great too that there was a code at the door which accommodated our very late arrival. The n'hood is fab -- lots within walking distance including great restaurants and a wonderful bakery. There was always a Lyft car available within about 2-4 minutes as well and my husband was able to easily take transit to Embarcadero for work. And lovely lovely views with great light and a giant bean bag chair, which delighted the kids!

The recent of passing of Professor Rick Jones (see Rick Jones obituary) caused me to reflect on the past.
I was very fortunate to earn a work placement with Dr Rick Jones at The University of Leeds in the summer of 1990. Rick was enthusiastic about the role of IT in medicine, and after securing funding for a full-time position he employed me as a computer programmer. Early projects included software for automating the monitoring of various blood marker tests and software to diagnose Down's syndrome. At the time many hospitals had in-house solutions for diagnosing Down's syndrome, and although the project took many years and the help of many other people to complete, it eventually gained widespread adoption.
Around 1992, Rick came up with the idea of a statistics package that integrated into Microsoft Excel. Armed with a ring bound folder containing the Excel SDK and a pile of medical statistics books, I set about the task of writing the software in C++. It wasn't long before the first version of Astute was ready and commercially released.
Never short of ideas for new projects, Rick started leaving journal articles in my in-tray covering subjects such as Deming and Passing-Bablok regression, Galen-Gambino sensitivity/specificity and ROC analysis. Rick had widespread experience and knowledge of the statistics needed in the clinical laboratory, and was keen to make the subject less daunting and more accessible to clinicians. The plan was to extend Astute to include these new statistical techniques. It would be an entirely new type of statistics package, so new in fact that when we released the product we didn't have a good name for it and it was simply called "Astute - Module 1".
Rick later co-authored the book Clinical Investigation and Statistics in Laboratory Medicine and it helped many clinicians better understand and appreciate the use of statistics in the laboratory.
Eventually, I moved on from Leeds University to co-found Analyse-it, and develop the successor to Astute. The 'Module 1' product transformed into the Clinical Laboratory Module and later into the Method Validation Edition. From its conception in Astute, to its implementation to Analyse-it, the product has transformed method validation in clinical laboratories and in-vitro diagnostic companies around the world.
Without Rick, Analyse-it would not exist today. Rick was the original catalyst and visionary for the product. Although I am writing this with great sadness, reflecting on the past, Rick's enthusiasm for life leaves me positive and inspired. His inspiration will live on through Analyse-it.

Today we released version 3.80 of the Analyse-it Standard edition.
The new release includes Principal Component Analysis (PCA), an extension to the multivariate analysis already available in Analyse-it. It also includes probably the most advanced implementation of biplots available in any commercial package.
New features include:
The tutorial walks you through a guided example looking at how to use correlation and principal component analysis to discover the underlying relationships in data about New York Neighbourhoods. It demonstrates the amazing new features and helps you understand how to use them. You can either follow the tutorial yourself, at your own pace, or .
If you you will no doubt already know about the recent improvements in the Analyse-it Method Validation edition and the release of our first video tutorial. If not, now is a good time to since we post short announcements and feature previews on Facebook, and use the blog only for news about major releases.
The latest changes and improvements to the Analyse-it Method Validation edition include:
Today we released version 3.70 of Analyse-it.
The new version includes many new features which some of you may have read about on our page over the last few weeks:
New features include:
Compare groups
Fit Model
If you have you will be notified an update is available when you next start Analyse-it, or you can download and install the update now, see . If maintenance on your licence has expired now is a good time to renew it to get this update and forthcoming updates, see .
Probably the greatest concern when using statistical software is reliability. Is the software producing accurate, numerically correct results that have been validated?
It's a very important question. Many of you work in FDA and regulated environments where the penalties for mistakes are very high. And those of you outside such environments are still making important business and research decisions using Analyse-it. It's therefore imperative that the software you depend upon is developed to a professional standard, thoroughly tested and validated.
We have just released version 3.60 of the Analyse-it Standard edition. It now includes repeat-measures ANOVA and Friedman tests in the Compare Pairs analysis.
If you have active maintenance, Analyse-it will notify you an update is available in the next few days, or you can download it immediately at:
If you do not have active maintenance, now is a great time to extend maintenance to get this latest update and all updates for the next 1- or 3-years, see:
Today we released the Analyse-it Method Validation edition version 3.5. The software is feature complete, validated, and includes documentation. It supports Excel 2007, Excel 2010 (32- and 64-bit) and Excel 2013 (32- and 64-bit).
We took this opportunity to rename the product from the Analyse-it Method Evaluation edition to the Method Validation edition. The product is the same, but the new name better reflects the intended purpose of the product.
Today we released the first public beta test version of the Analyse-it Method Evaluation edition, version 3.5. The software is feature complete and is validated – it is now only missing documentation.
We invite everyone to download the beta and try the new version of the software before it is finally released in September. You will need Excel 2007, 2010, or 2013 (32-bit and 64-bit versions are supported) and it can be installed and used alongside older versions of Analyse-it so it won't interrupt your day-to-day work.
Today we released the 3rd alpha release of the Analyse-it Method Evaluation Edition 3.5. Alpha releases are versions of the software that are still in active development, but are released to small group of customers so we can identify and fix any problems before the public beta release.
This release now completes the package with method comparison, which includes Deming regression, Passing-Bablok regression, and Bland-Altman difference plots. Linearity, precision analysis, diagnostic performance (ROC analysis and binary test performance) and reference intervals were already included in earlier alpha releases.
Today we released the 2nd alpha of the Analyse-it Method Evaluation Edition 3.5.
Alpha releases are pre-release versions of the software that are still in active development. We release them to a small group of customers so we can get feedback and quickly identify and fix any problems before the public beta release. If you want to take part in the test phase reply or comment on to this post or . You can use pre-release versions of Analyse-it alongside your
existing version of Analyse-it, so it won't disrupt your work. And, if you help during in the test phases you will get a discount on the upgrade (a free upgrade for those who contribute the most) when the product is released later this year.
Analyse-it is the leading statistics software for Microsoft Excel.
First released in 1997, Analyse-it surpasses traditional statistical software in ease of use, features and price. Over 25,000 customers now rely on Analyse-it for in-depth statistical analysis and visualization in Excel.

People which use mergemaster and have another shell installed know about it. I'm not against changing files in /etc, but the user should know about it (POLA). What about a wrapper script which greps for bacula in /etc/services and starts the original bacula executable if it finds an entry and moans if not? It could tell the use to add the lines. And perhaps add a "addservice" target to the port makefile, which does it for the user if he want it (like those MTA makefiles which modify /etc/mail/mailer.conf upon request) and let the wrapper script explain how to use it ("make addservice").

Pfizer Inc, which is in the process of trying to acquire British rival AstraZeneca for more than $100 billion, on Friday said it planned to seek U.S. approval for palbociclib, its experimental drug for advanced breast cancer, in the third quarter.
The largest U.S. drugmaker said it made the decision to submit its application to the Food and Drug Administration following discussions with the regulatory agency about the results of a midstage clinical trial.
Palbociclib had received the FDA's new breakthrough designation given to help speed up the approval process for potentially important new medicines.
Pfizer presented data from the trial at a cancer meeting last month. Patients in the study who took the experimental Pfizer medicine plus the hormone drug letrozole went 20.2 months on average before their cancer began to worsen, compared with 10.2 months for those that received only letrozole.
Palbociclib is considered to be one of the most important medicines in Pfizer's developmental pipeline. A rival drug is also being developed by Eli Lilly and Co, which several analysts have said appears promising.
Pfizer shares were up 1.2 percent at $29.41 in early afternoon trading on the New York Stock Exchange.
Healthy, high-fat diet may be a pipedream
A much-hyped new study, conducted with just 150 participants, calls for us to "embrace fat" — even the saturated kind. The alleged benefits? Weight loss and, most incredibly, healthier hearts. But the truth is the jury is still out. Commentary

Major problems with BFG 6600
I have been using a the BFG 6600GTOC in my machine (or trying too at least) and they keep dying. The first one the fan died after a week of ownership, the second was DOA from RMA center, I just installed the third and did all the drivers, etc.
It idles at 52C which is hotter than anything i've ever had, and under load it immediately shoots skyhigh, I shut the game down as the temp went north of 134C... The fan is working, but I don't know if its going as fast as it should. I'm more than a little fed up with this. My case is full of fans also, and the PCI slot next to the card is free for airflow For a company that prides itself on having "a great reputation with gamers" their product is garbage. I don't care about a lifetime warranty, or free shipping, i'd rather pay more for a card that works (which is exactly what i'm going to do now) I have no idea what the problem is with these cards, and I have no desire to find out.
As a buisness professional if I screwed something up for one of my customers 3 times in a row I would not expect them to return. I'm officially done with BFG.
On that note, whats the best Nvidia AGP card that money can buy I only have an AGP PC and i'm not really up on the latest graphics cards.

Texas Instruments unleashes industry's most powerful wireless base station SoC, equipping manufacturers and operators with the technology to deliver the promise of 4G
DALLAS, Nov. 9, 2010 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — LTE NORTH AMERICA — As operators worldwide strive to increase their network capacity in more cost effective ways and keep ahead of swelling user data consumption, Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) (NYSE: TXN) today unveiled the industry's first wireless base station System-on-Chip (SoC) with the 4G class performance required to tame the wireless data deluge. Built as a wireless data engine from its inception, the TMS320TCI6616 SoC is based on TI's new TMS320C66x digital signal processor (DSP) generation using TI's new KeyStone multicore architecture, and delivers more than double the performance of any 3G/4G SoC in the market. The TCI6616 also boasts the industry's first multicore DSP that processes both fixed- and floating-point math, an innovative capability that simplifies wireless base station software design.
To facilitate customers' development of more robust, multimode base stations that help operators optimize their spectral, financial and network resources, TI developed the TCI6616 SoC incorporating three critical elements: field proven PHY technology, an autonomous packet processing engine and programmable DSPs enabling full multicore entitlement.
Implemented as configurable coprocessors, TI PHYs enable Software Defined Radio (SDR) which allows operators to migrate to emerging standards without needing external components. Autonomous packet processing in the TCI6616 manages packets from both core and radio networks, offloading packet processing and freeing cycles for algorithms that enhance spectral efficiency. The autonomous operation of the packet coprocessors simplifies design and reduces costs for developers. Together, these configurable coprocessors, which target all major wireless standards, yield the performance equivalent of over 250 DSPs.
The TCI6616 delivers unprecedented programmable performance with TI's new C66x DSP cores, which boast five times more processing performance than any other DSPs, as seen in the independent BDTI benchmarks. The four C66x DSP cores in the TCI6616 provide the performance needed for custom IP implementations that base station developers rely on for product differentiation. Additionally, TI's new multicore KeyStone architecture effectively manages the competition for processing resources and offers the first true network-on-chip infrastructure to unleash full multicore entitlement.
"Our TCI6616 SoC is going to shake things up as there is no other base station technology in the market that solves operators' challenges like ours," said Brian Glinsman, general manager of TI's communications infrastructure business. "We are delivering on all fronts of performance, price and innovation. TI's PHY technology, packet coprocessor and multiple DSP cores work together to provide developers a SoC with immense compute power ideally suited for the challenges of 4G networks."
Key features and benefits:
- First base station SoC based on powerful new C66x DSPs and TI Keystone multicore architecture, enabling scalability and portability from macro to small cells while reducing product development expenses;
- Only solution featuring PHY coprocessors for every 3G and 4G standard, including WCDMA chip rate and LTE bit rate, simplifying 3G to 4G migration (no FPGA/ASIC required);
- Innovative new C66x DSP core integrates fixed- and floating-point support at unprecedented speeds, allowing developers to more efficiently implement advanced floating point algorithms with minimal design and conversion effort;
- High performance network coprocessor provides L2 and transport acceleration for all wireless base station standards, automating core and radio network packet processing;
- KeyStone system elements such as Multicore Navigator and Open Navigator programming interface bring single-core simplicity to multicore SoCs;
- Industry leading power reduction technologies, including TI's SmartReflex(TM) power management techniques, memory retention and dynamic power management, deliver lowest power levels for base stations;
- High-performance 40-nm process technology ensures robust programmable performance and unmatched value for base station developers.

From Cairo to Córdoba: The Story of the Cairo Geniza
Schechter's acquisition of the Cairo Geniza for Cambridge, and his organization of its massacre of manuscripts into an archive, made many other future branches of research possible. In the years before he assumed the presidency of the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York City and leadership of the Conservative movement of American Judaism, he cultivated an astonishing number of them. But his most passionate ministrations were aimed, through the reconstruction of texts like the Hebrew Ben Sira, at the revivification of a Jewish scriptural tradition whose "brutal vivisection," as he saw it, was being carried out by the Christian Higher Critics of his day. "What inspired Ben Sira," wrote Schechter, thinking perhaps also of the inspiration for his own herculean efforts in the Geniza, "was the present and future of his people."
The archive Schechter brought to Cambridge would continue to produce biblical revelation, but the attention of the next generation of explorers—according, at least, to Hoffman and Cole's account of that next generation—was oriented toward a different scriptural marvel discovered in the Geniza: poetry. Whole worlds of Hebrew verse would be almost entirely lost to us were it not for the poems buried in this one graveyard, and the scholars who exhumed them felt empowered with the kiss of life. "Each photostat is a prayer congealed, each page a poem frozen in place," wrote Menahem Zulay. "The dust of the generations has to be shaken from them; they have to be woken and revived; and the workers are busy; and a day doesn't pass without resurrection." Zulay was writing of his monumental reconstruction of some 800 poems written by the sixth- or early seventh-century poet Yannai, whose hymns studded the synagogue services of Palestinian Jewry for centuries before those services were reshaped by the adoption of Babylonian rites, and the poems deformed, forgotten and finally buried in early thirteenth-century Cairo. That reconstruction, published in 1938, was the first to display to modern eyes a medieval cycle of Jewish liturgical poetry in its full glory, and the last Hebrew book to emerge from a press in Nazi Germany.
Peter Cole is himself an inspired writer, translator and resuscitator of verse. His previous book, The Dream of the Poem, opened English-language readers to an entire world of Hebrew poetry that emerged under the tutelage of Arabic verse among the Jews of Spain. So it should not surprise that the chapters he and Hoffman devote to the poetry of the Geniza are especially rich. But neither liturgical poetry nor the poetry of Yannai, for all his gifts (his systematic use of end rhyme, for example, is the earliest in Hebrew literature, and precocious in the poetics of both Near East and West), is the subject of their finest pages. Those are reserved instead for the poetic treasures translated for us in The Dream of the Poem, treasures that were, like the Judeo-Arabic in which so many of the Geniza's texts were written, themselves the product of Jewish life in Muslim lands: I mean, of course, the Hebrew poetry of what the Muslims called Al-Andalus, the Jews Sefarad and we (somewhat anachronistically) "medieval Spain." For although Cairo is far from Córdoba, its closets tell us more about the "Golden Age" of Hebrew poetry than does any archive in the magnificent Islamic city in which that poetry was born.
The authors' description of the scholarly project gives us a good sense of its importance, not only for the history of Hebrew poetry but for the living literature of the present as well:
a concatenation of discoveries stretching into the twenty-first century has only enhanced the aura of wonder surrounding the poetry's origins. Against staggering odds, patient and tenacious scholars have reunited torn pages or separated leaves or even just stray lines of manuscript fragments…. not only new poems and new collections of poems, but new poets, new kinds of poems and poets, and the often extraordinary life stories of some of Hebrew literature's finest writers have been introduced into the modern literary mix.
These scholars, write Hoffman and Cole, "in-â¨jected Andalusian poetry into the blood-â¨stream of modern Hebrew cultural life." Once again, the past as discovered in the Geniza is put to work animating the Jewish present.
The poets and their poems are indeed thrilling. The Moroccan-born Dunash ben Labrat (circa 920–990) studied under the great sage Saadia Gaon in Babylon, where he developed a system of adapting Arabic poetry's rules of quantitative meter to the Hebrew language. ("Nothing like it has ever been seen in Israel," his illustrious teacher is reputed to have said, without stipulating whether these words were praise or blame.) Dunash took his system with him when he migrated to the Caliphate of Córdoba, where his synthesis—for which his own words might serve as motto: "Let Scripture be your Eden, and the Arabs' books your paradise grove"—immediately spawned a school. But there were also those who accused him of "destroying the holy tongue…by casting it into foreign meters," and bringing "calamity upon his people." In the end, for reasons we do not know, Dunash was exiled from Al-Andalus, and his poems, all but for a few stray lines, were lost.
* * *
Lost, that is, until the Geniza was found. From the patient rearticulation of its severed limbs there emerged not only poems by Dunash but details of his life, his poetic community, even his wife. At times Hoffman and Cole work a little too hard to manufacture excitement for this process of textual reconstruction: "As if in a made-for-TV National Geographic special," they write of the discovery that two fragments of a poem fit together. But the result is exciting, and the reconstituted poem is beautiful, a miniature full of the pathos of parting:
Will her love remember his graceful doe,
her only son in her arms as he parted?
On her left hand he placed a ring from his right,
on his wrist she placed her bracelet.
As a keepsake she took his mantle from him,
and he in turn took hers from her.
Beautiful, and also probably unique: the union of fragments reveals the poem to be not by Dunash but by his wife on the occasion of his exile, making it the only known poem by a woman surviving from the 500-year history of medieval Hebrew verse.
The last chapter of Sacred Trash is dedicated not to scholars of poetry but to a historian: specifically, to Shlomo Dov Goitein, whom we might call the re-founder of Geniza studies. Goitein was the first to realize, circa 1955, the significance of the trash within the trash: not the sacred fragments of eternal Scripture or the lost poetic links of an immortal literary tradition but the tattered remnants of quotidian life. There were IOUs, canceled contracts, letters about prices of linen and rumors of drought, amulets and shopping lists: in short, the tens of thousands of documents crammed into two trunks for half a century and stowed in an attic only because an early librarian had opposed on principle the burning of anything, no matter how useless, of such antiquity. Out of the contents of these trunks and other archives, Goitein wrote what would eventually become the five volumes of his A Mediterranean Society, a pluralistic history of medieval Muslim, Jewish and Christian social and economic life that gave historians their first sense of just how interconnected—we might say how globalized—this medieval world was, and how fluid the relations between members of its various faiths.
Goitein's history has proven resonant, not only because it taught a new generation of historians how to explore a vast world of documentation from the distant past but also because Goitein worked hard to make that past relevant to our present. His was not a lachrymose medieval world overflowing with persecution but a "brimming history of life," a life Goitein characterized as a "symbiosis" between Arabs and Jews. Goitein compared the symbiosis he discovered in the Geniza with that of the world in which he found himself as he wrote his master work—the United States of the 1960s, '70s and '80s—and found them similar. The Geniza world was a "religious democracy," "a vigorous, free-enterprise society" of "relative tolerance and liberalism." "We do not wear turbans here [in the United States]," he wrote; "but, while reading many a Geniza document one feels quite at home."
Goitein gave us the history of a medieval Jewish community, one thriving in Muslim lands, and tied by countless bonds of exchange—cultural and social as well as economic—to the vast world in which it found itself, a world stretching from the Indian Ocean to the Atlantic, but cradled in the tolerant and cosmopolitan waters of the Mediterranean. This vision is shared to some extent by all the heroes of Sacred Trash, from Schechter to Goitein, and it's a commonality at least partly because it is also shared by the authors, themselves active in Jerusalem as impresarios of literary integration. Hoffman and Cole's polyglot press, Ibis Editions, publishes writers in Arabic, Hebrew and other languages of the Levant.
The vision is certainly an appealing one, and all the more so today. Its resonance is evident not only in books both popular and scholarly but also in political projects like the "Union for the Mediterranean," whose joint declaration, signed in 2008, proclaims, "Europe and the Mediterranean countries are bound by history, geography and culture. More importantly, they are united by a common ambition: to build together a future of peace, democracy, prosperity and human, social and cultural understanding…. in a renewed partnership for progress." This same ambition, I do not doubt, helps motivate Hoffman and Cole's treatment of the past. To harness history to the needs of the present: this has always been one of the duties of the historian, a duty Hoffman and Cole fulfill as admirably and responsibly as did the scholars they are writing about. (Which is not to say that the resulting histories are the only ones possible, or that citizens of the Geniza would feel at home were they to wake up in their pages. I doubt that the elderly Maimonides—who wrote of Judaism under Islam as "dead" and "ailing," and saw in the communities of Christian Europe "our only hope for help"—would have described his world in Goitein's terms of liberal symbiosis.)

Danny Sullivan's Indy car record at Pocono has held up for nearly 25 years
Jul 2, 2013, 8:42 PM EDT
Records supposedly are made to be broken, but apparently not Danny Sullivan's.
The 1985 Indianapolis 500 winner and 1988 CART series champion still holds the record for fastest average speed in a 500-mile race (170.720 mph) at Pocono Raceway.
Well, there's a caveat to that — Sullivan set the mark in 1989, the last time the 2.5-mile tri-oval on the cusp of the Pocono mountains hosted an open-wheel Indy car race. He also won there in 1984 (both times on the CART circuit).
Now, after a nearly quarter-century, Indy car racing returns to the infamous "Tricky Triangle" on Sunday for the IZOD IndyCar Series' Pocono IndyCar 400 Fueled by Sunoco.
"I think Pocono is an ideal track for IndyCars," Sullivan said in a story on IndyCar.com. "With all of the upgrades, improvements in safety, you should see a great return from the IndyCar Series."
Will a modern day driver like Will Power, Dario Franchitti, Marco Andretti, Indianapolis 500 winner Tony Kanaan, current points leader Helio Castroneves, Ryan Hunter-Reay or James Hinchcliffe finally break Sullivan's 24-year record?
Time will tell. And even if someone does break his mark, Sullivan will still have some great memories both of Pocono and his past time there.
"A great layout, and three distinctly different corners makes a good setup difficult," Sullivan added. "Pocono used to be rough, but that added to the challenge. My races there were always close and competitive. Winning it twice was special."

Unless IndyCar lengthens the race by 100 miles before Sunday, it would be impossible for Sullivan's record to fall this weekend.
- wallio - Jul 3, 2013 at 1:07 AM
I still don't understand why they made it 400 miles, but hopefully they will rectify it next year.

TV window, i think it's worth giving up those 100 miles to be on network TV.

The difference is whether you communicate with the libvirtd process running as root, or with just the session-specific qemu command. If you are running unprivileged but attempt to connect to qemu:///system, this will cause an authentication attempt (you have to supply the root password); but if the user is only running a qemu:///session, this is not what they want. I'm not sure what makes the right thing to do here; hopefully danpb can shed some better insight into this. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
