Subject: Lets get the party started
I am from Knoxville.I am from the south side of Knoxville and graduated
from good old Young High School, class of 1959.Some of our best football
game was with Central. I now live in Neenah Wisconsin for the last 35
I two have been blessed with great research in the Graves line. John
Sebastian Graves (Graves) is 9th grandfather and three of his children
are of my line. John and Sarah Sharp, Sebastian Graves and Sarah
Effland, Barbara Graves and Henry Sharp. Now the females lines I have
not been so lucky at. Thomas Hall and his wife Nancy Hayes, Michael
Fraker, Peter Kitts, Margaret Severs or Sevier,and it covers Claiborne,
Grainger, Anderson, Union and Knox , most of these name are about the
time Tennessee became a state.
Its good to be home again if only in my dreams. I am not just interested
in names and dates. I want some history.I would l would like to know if
a book has been written on Ft. Sanders Hospital. Young High School
history, Founders and history of Sharps Chapel, Halls
Crossroads,Highland Memorial Cemetery, More about those early settlers
that settle the land like the Graves, in Graverson, Sharps, Gibbs,
Albrights, and some of the others that came from Orange County NC. in
the 1790s and 1800.

Subject: Re: Let's get this party started
I didn't realize this list was new, thought I had just overlooked it. I
retired 3 yrs ago from Bellsouth and have just been "researching my roots"
for about a year. I regret not getting interested in it while my father was
still alive, he had a wonderful memory and I know would have been a great
help. I have already benefited greatly from my search. I have developed very
close relationships with 3 of my first cousins whom I barely knew since
childhood. I managed to get them interested and now we are all "addicted". I
have also met several "cousins" online and a few in person whom I never knew
existed. It is really weird how we are all about the same age and all just
getting interested in genealogy at the same time.
The Knox Co. lines I am researching are: BROWN, WOOD, CATE, McCLAIN and
FRAKER, with collateral lines ATCHLEY, RIDDLE, COFFMAN, HALL, McCLOUD,
RENFRO, TUNNELL, WILHITE. Some of the collateral lines are developed and some
not. Though Knox Co. is the main location, these families were also found in
Anderson, Jefferson and Greene counties.
My brick wall is John Brown b. 1799 NC m. Sarah Wood 1825 Knox Co. Sarah
was the daughter of Joseph Wood and Sarah McClain. Cannot find out who John's
parents were. Suspect that he had brothers named Maxwell, Clement and
William, they are at the same locations at the same time but not confirmed
their relationship to John. Any help will be GREATLY appreciated.

Hi, Sabrina! You're right about East Tennessee being one of the most
beautiful places on earth. Every time I've moved away, I've absolutely
pined to get back home -- and paid Delta a fortune to make sure I did at
least every couple of months! I dunno about the Vols -- I'm a
Carson-Newman fan myself....<g>
You sure do have some early Knox County surnames. Maybe there's a strong
connection between the ones that stayed here and yours that moved on. The
Browns have always been one of Knoxville's finer families. Are your
Wrights the ones the ferry was named for? We've got Walkers everywhere --
there are even separate discussion lists for some of the more prolific
branches!!! I'm not familiar with your Paul or Hay(e)s surnames -- I'll
keep an eye out for them, though!
You may not be aware of it, but Fentress and Overton Counties were heavily
settled by people who seem to have migrated in groups. I call them
"turnstile" counties because so many people passed through there on their
way west (even if it was only as far west as Middle Tennessee).

Having a tough time tracing the history of Oliver
STEADMAN, often listed as Perry STEADMAN. I know
he was in TN and that his son Henry moved back to
Crawford Co., PA. I believe that Effie Steadman

cardiac failure.
From Kathy Brubaker:-
They are all listed in the same reference, so I'll
transcribe it for you here: on page 940, in the
biographical sketch section for Randolph Township:
"Henry P. Steadman, farmer, P.O. Guys Mills, was
born in Rome Township, this county, December 18,
1863; son of Perry and Esther (Baldwin) Steadman,

New York State, March 2, 1831. They were married
July 28, 1849, and had a family of ten children,
six of whom are now living, viz: Alvah D.,
Catherine N., Cyrus W., Mary E., Henry P. and
Effie K. Our subject received a common school
education. During the winter seasons for several
years he worked in a saw-mill. In the spring of
1884 he rented a farm of fifty acres and began
life for himself. Mr. Steadman was married October
4, 1880, to Miss Mary GRINNELL, a native of
Crawford County, Penn., born September 7, 1863,
daughter of Morris B. and Maggie (Airnes)
GRINNELL, early settlers of Greenwood Township,
this county, both now deceased. To this union were
born two children: Jeptha and Maggie. Our subject

Maxwell Introduces 390-Volt Ultracapacitor Module for Heavy-Duty Vehicles
20 March 2007
Maxwell Technologies has introduced a rugged 390-volt BOOSTCAP ultracapacitor module to provide scalable, easy-to-integrate, energy storage and power delivery solutions for heavy hybrid and electric vehicles and heavy duty industrial applications requiring up to 1,170 volts.
The new Heavy Duty Transportation (HTM) module features enhanced integration technology and up to 2.8 times greater energy storage than earlier products.
This rugged, high-performance, module is designed specifically to meet the demanding requirements of regenerative braking systems in hybrid and electric buses, trucks, electric rail and other heavy vehicles, as well as cranes and other heavy-duty industrial applications.—Richard Balanson, Maxwell president and chief executive officer
The new module meets or exceeds transportation industry requirements for watt-hours of energy storage and watts of power delivery per kilogram, and is designed to perform reliably through one million or more deep discharge cycles, or about 15 years of operational life for most vehicles or industrial systems. It has integrated voltage management circuitry and monitoring capabilities and highly efficient, fan-driven, forced air cooling that ensures good thermal performance at high continuous currents.
In addition to efficiently managing thermal loads under high current cycling conditions, this module is built to withstand the harsh environments, shock, vibration and extremely demanding duty cycles that are typical with heavy transportation applications. Improvements in module design and advancing cell performance through material science are enabling enhanced functionality and robustness while significantly reducing manufacturing cost.—Michael Everett, Maxwell vice president and chief technical officer
The self-cooled HTM BMOD0018-P390 is encased in a rugged, splash- and dust-proof, IP 65-compliant, aluminum chassis. Each module is rated at 18 farads, and up to three modules may be linked in series to deliver a total of up to 1,170 volts.
Maxwell also offers standard 16-, 48- and 125-volt modules, and a Quick-Turn program that offers shipment within 14 days of receipt of a customer purchase order for custom-configured modules for applications requiring up to 540 volts.

Listed below are links to weblogs that reference Maxwell Introduces 390-Volt Ultracapacitor Module for Heavy-Duty Vehicles:
I am ignorant in Electrical Engineering. Can anyone tel me the KWH equivalent? Is it close to 3KWH?
For some rough numbers:
Derate operating voltage to 300 V. [That's a typical derating for conventional capacitors. I don't know the manufacturer's recommended derating for this technology.]
1/2C*V^2=~800,000 Joules => 80 kW for 10 seconds per module; three times that if used in series. For stop and go delivery vehicles that's a lot of stored energy from regenerative braking. So what are the cost and physical dimensions?
Divide 800 kJ by 3600 seconds/hr to get 0.22 kWHr.
Nowhere near 3 kWHr.
Maxwells were typically around 7 Wh/kg - so if similar energy densities then each module should weigh in at around 30kg, not including casing etc.
Should be able to absorb the decelleration of a 2 ton vehicle from 30 mph to 0 ( or 40 to 0 )
Or that should be the benchmark for stop / start driving.
Kinetic energy is 1/2MV^2, so for 5000 kg at 40 mph (17.9 m/s) the energy is about 800,000 J ... or one bank of supercaps at, say, 50 kg including packaging, cooling, mounting, etc. If 50 kg of capacitors can recuperate 800 kJ a million times over its lifetime that's 222 MWHr.
Of course there are efficiency losses along the way, and this assumes the single bank of capacitors can accept energy at a very high rate (80 kW for 10 s). So call it 150 MWHr. Multiply times 100, 000+ delivery vehicles, buses, etc ... now you're talking about some significant energy savings (15,000 GWHr). Assuming 25% efficiency for the diesel engine that equates to about 350 million barrels of oil (at 1718 kWHr/barrel), worth $20B at $55/barrel, and some 280 billion lbs of CO2 (at 800 lbs/barrel).
That's a lot of energy to save, and the weight of the energy storage device isn't that much of a burden. Carrying heavy batteries around adds a lot of weight to a vehicle, which in turn is a big drag on efficiency.
Check my math ... please. And you ME types can also check my efficiency assumptions. This is admittedly a "back of the envelope" estimate.
Energy contained in capacitor bank when fully loaded:
1/2 * C * Vmax^2 = 0.381 kWh
Energy contained when empty: Vmin = 1/4 * Vmax:
1/2 * C * Vmin^2 = 0.024 kWh
Difference: Wpot = 0.356 kWh
Figure 94% charge efficiency (true only if charging is slow enough, ~10s): 0.380 kWh at the power converter DC terminals
Figure 85% average efficiency for the power converter: 0.446 kWh at the generator AC terminals
Figure 85% average efficiency for the PM generator: 0.52 kWh at the crankshaft
Figure 94% average efficiency for the tranny and diff: 0.558 kWh where the rubber meets the road
(total efficiency wheels to ultracaps: 64%)
HDV mass fully laden: 12,000kg (medium duty truck)
Vehicle speed corresponding to 0.558 kWh: 49kph = 31mph
Total efficiency wheels-ultracaps-wheels: 64%^2 = 41%, so the vehicle can be accelerated back up to 32kph = 20 mph using recuperated energy alone, disregarding the effect of rolling resistance.
Note that this is a best case scenario, assuming the full voltage range and sufficient time for braking are available. In practice, ultracaps may indeed have to be derated in design, if only to account for the 20% or so loss in capacitance over the lifespan of the cells. Also, the power converter may not be able to handle the current at voltages as low as 1/4 Vmax.
HDVs that must operate frequently in stop-and-go traffic, ultracaps make more sense. Examples: delivery vans, city buses, garbage trucks.
An 18-wheeler (40,000kg fully laden) whose duty cycle includes a lot of hill climbing on the highway would benefit more from a battery-based hybrid system. The higher specific capacity overcompensates for the lower recuperation efficiency (~25% wheels-battery-wheels).
Its likely the old design of ultracap just bigger and thus higher capcity. The newer ultracaps can store alot more power.
I have read your posts before and throughly respect your scientific opinions. You display an ability to sort technical wheat from scientific chaff.
I recomend that you review the video presented here and feel free to comment. You can PM me if you wish.
Its time to electrify the auto fleets...
Let me try to disprove this claim of how revolutionary this module is. To do this, I will apply real electrical engineering science:
The energy stored in a capacitor is given by the formula:
E = (1/2)* C * V^2, where C is capacitance in Farads and V is the voltage across the capacitor.
From the manufacturer's data sheet for this module, the capacitance is 17.8 Farads and the max voltage is 390 V, the maximum energy that can be stored is:
E = (1/2) * 17.8 F * (390 V)^2 = 1368900 Joules
1 KW*hr(kilo-watt-hour) = 3,600,000 Joules, therefore this module can store 0.38025 KW*hr.
Now the real problem. From the manufacturer's data sheet, I obtained a mass of 165 Kg for this module, therefore the energy density is about 380.25 W*hr/165 kg = 2.3 W*hr/kg. This is extremely low for any useful energy storage devise for an EV or plug in hybrid.
How about Power density, the real strength of a capacitor? You can have 150 Amps for continuous discharge or 950 Amps for short bursts. This means that the maximum continuous power is about (150 Amp * 390 V)= 58.5 KW and the maximum peak power of (950 * 390V) = 370.5 KW. With a mass of 165 Kg, the continous and peak power density comes out to be about 0.355 KW/Kg and 2.245 KW/Kg respectively.
How does this "revolutionary module" compare with the state of the art lithium ion battery? Well, let's take Altair Nano as the standard.
Energy density = 90 W*hr/Kg (which is very poor when compared with other lithium ion batteries and yet is 39.13 times more energy dense than this capacitor module!)
Continuous Power density = 4000 W/Kg (the Maxwell module peak power density of 2245 W/Kg is lower than the battery continuous power density!)
How about the number of charges/discharges? It turns out that the Altair Nano batterys can be fully charged/discharged for 20,000 times and still retain 85% or nominal capacity. This means that over the life of the battery, a module of 165 Kg of Altair Nano batteries can store and release about:
165Kg * (85%) * 90 (W*hr/Kg)/(charge/discharge) * 20,000 Charge/discharge = 252,450 KW*hr of energy
A mid size electric car can go 4 miles for each KW*hr of energy, therefore an EV with this 165 Kg module of lithium batteries can go up to 1,009,800 miles! This far exceeds the expected milage of any car. In practice, the calendar life of the battery will reduce this number.
Conclusion: Unless there is a quantum leap in both energy density and power density, the Ultra capacitor is dead.
This is a bit premature. Ultracaps can compliment batteries because of their ability to do lots of discharges at high power density. Think launch assist combined with regenerative braking. The back of the envelope analysis that shows ultracaps having lower power densities than batteries is a bit naive and disingenuous. These are based on lab reports for maximum power bursts which certainly arent going to be recommended for general use, and it doesnt represent charging power either.
The other big point for ultracaps is efficiency. Its obvious that they'll never compete with batteries on raw energy density, but they dont have to.
Stan - Thanks for the link. IMO every thinking person should do themselves a favor and view that video. It's quite long (1h13m32s) but well worth the time.
Thanks for the analysis. 41% efficiency wheels-ultracapacitor-wheels makes things less compelling. But I'm surprised that the power converter would have such a low efficiency (85%). I thought 90+% was readily achievable at these power levels. In any case the overall round trip efficiency is still under 50%. But hey, if we can save half the breaking energy that's still quite a few barrels of oil.
Thanks for the update on the module weight. 165 kg is a lot more that I had assumed. Still, nobody (including the manufacturer's press release cited above) said this ultracapacitor was "revolutionary." I agree we're not going to make an EV or PHEV using ultracapacitors for bulk energy storage. I believe the context is stop and go driving for medium duty delivery trucks and buses. They spend much of their energy getting going, only to dissipate it as heat in the brakes.
A hybrid vehicle that has the peak power capability to capture that energy can save a lot of oil. I don't know the price for the ultracap, but I'd bet it's cheaper than a bank of Li batteries with the same power capability. And you can buy the ultracapacitor -- not true for the ALTI battery. For the future of PHEV's we all hope that will change. But if ultracapacitors can work for this application that's a positive step.
Stan & Bob,
I watched the video. It is indeed very interesting. I'm not a climate scientist, so I recognize I'm not qualified to referee the argument about global warming. But I don't need to. My son is a US Marine, and I haven't forgotten 9-11. So for personal reasons I want to save oil whether it's peaking or not, and whether CO2 causes global warming or not. Energy security crazies (like me) and global warming crazies may have very different political views, but our answers to some questions are the same.
Has anybody compared this to the hydraulic hybrids(yes I know, hydraulic/nitrogen hybrids)that UPS is testing? I believe that was quoted as having a higher wheel to pressure tank to wheel efficiency. They both seemed to be aimed at the same target, heavy duty commercial vehicles that operate in a stop and go driving pattern. Oh well test them both out and see which one comes out on top.
I veiwed the video. Very interesting. The experts involved in the video lent a great deal of credibility. They did an impressive job of putting the whole movement in context.
Supercaps are no competitor to batteries, rather complement to adsorb high currents associated with regenerative braking, prolonging battery life. From all batteries Altair Nanosafe is the last to benefit from this combination.
Maxwell supercaps are extensively used in leveling-off surges in wind turbines, as emergency energy storage in smart electricity meters, and as initial (7 seconds) power supply in un-interrupted power supply systems – before diesel generator kicks-in, and many other applications. Also supercaps are considered as the only viable option for heavy-duty hybrid vehicles, like 18-wheelers.
I believe that your estimation is a little bit on pessimistic side: regenerative braking efficiency around 50% is reported for Toyota Prius, heavy-duty supercap systems should perform better. Oshkosh Truck series hybrid military truck eliminates transmission, transfer case, driveshafts, and claims 40% improvement in fuel efficiency:
I have read a lot of comments on Swindle documentary, including from some scientists, and the only factual mistake they found is overestimation of CO2 emissions from volcanoes (political staff aside). Everything else is correct. BTW, there is another nice piece, current Congress testimony of President of Czech Republic Vaclav Klaus:
Um folks this device is made for one purpose only. To catch the energy of a big ass bis or train or other HEAVY device as is stops and fling it back into the system as it moves again.
Its NOT anything like a prius needs.
Its main selling points are likely very low cost and very low maintenance.
I'm not sure about low cost - particularly when compared to batteries in terms of $ per kWh. Also, the voltage conversion from battery to motor is much easier (read cheaper) than the expensive electronics required to convert the plummeting voltage from a capacitor on discharge.
If the Toyota Prius already captures 50% of the regenerative braking energy with their slow charge NIMH batteries, regenerative braking efficiency may go up to 90% with Altair nano (or equivalent) very quick charge batteries.
This would preclude the use of super-caps for Hybrids, PHEVs and BEVs equipped with such batteries unless super-caps can extend the useful life of the on-board batteries (if it is still a problem).
One regenerative idea was to use compressing nitrogen. You could combine ultra caps with that scheme. Use the caps from above 5 mph and below use the compression, which claimed to be 70% efficient at recovering the energy. Your brake pads would sure last a long time.
Your looking at the wrong metric. They dont care about kwh they care about volts and kw. This is basicaly just a big ass electrical pogo stick. It likely doesnt even use much in controls. It prolly just catches everything it can then releases it all.
"Supercaps are considered as the only viable option for heavy-duty hybrid vehicles, like 18-wheelers."
Volvo Trucks would presumably beg to differ:
Rafael- I read the linked article again but I still can't find the reference to Supercaps in it. The article is indeed about Volvo trucks, but where's the tie-in to Supercaps?
Basic electrical principles say that a generators voltage is proportional to its speed. As the vehicle slows the voltage goes down as the voltage of the ultracap goes up. Current and therefore braking force is a function of the voltage difference and at some point well before a full stop the voltages will be equal and no braking force will be available. How does this system overcome this problem???
i am new to ev's, i am very interested in building my first. i want to do it right though. can anyone tell me where to start? i want to use capacitors/lithium ion batteries, and good motors etc...

ONE of the most bizarre cases ever to be heard in an Australian court, centring on a creationist's claim that Noah's Ark has been discovered in Turkey, has left the geologist who brought the suit facing financial ruin.
Ian Plimer, head of the School of Earth Sciences at the University of Melbourne, sued Allen Roberts, a Sydney-based creationist, under Australia's Trade Practices Act. He alleged that videos, audio tapes and literature distributed by Ark Search, an organisation run by Roberts, were "misleading and deceptive" (This Week, 30 November 1996, p 4).
But in a ruling delivered on 2 June in the Sydney Federal Court, Justice Ronald Sackville rejected Plimer's complaint. While some of the claims made by Roberts were false, Sackville ruled that the creationist's activities did not constitute "trade or commerce". Plimer, who is facing bankruptcy after selling his house to finance a series of legal battles ...

Home Scene
Thomas Eakins painted several works with music-related themes during his career. In Home Scene, his older sister Margaret sits at the piano, and a young Caroline lies on the floor, studiously writing on a slate tablet. The prominent placement of the piano reflects the instrument's importance in middle-class homes in the late nineteenth century, when piano lessons were pursued for cultural refinement and self-improvement. Eakins's dark and somber composition conveys a sense of stillness and introspection rather than the narrative typical of genre painting.

Wolfpack in Second Following Opening Day at Tar Heel Intercollegiate
Sept. 14, 2013
Day One Results | Tar Heel Final Pairings
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - The NC State University men's golf team turned in a very strong showing during the opening day of the 2013 Tar Heel Intercollegiate on Saturday, ending the afternoon ranked second in the 14-team field. The Wolfpack was buoyed by a strong first-round score of 284 and was able to hold its second-place position throughout the afternoon, shooting a 295 its second time through the course.
Through two rounds of play, State has accumulated a two-round score of 579 (+3).
NC State ended the day behind only fellow ACC school Georgia Tech, a program which finished the 2012-13 season ranked No. 8 in the nation. In addition to finishing the first 36 holes ahead of Duke (No. 7 in the country to end 2012-13), the Wolfpack ended Saturday's portion of the competition ahead of ACC foes North Carolina (tournament host), Maryland, and Boston College.
"We got off to a good start in the first round," said head coach Richard Sykes. "We didn't necessarily finish it off the way we would have liked to in the afternoon, but we did put ourselves in position to have a good result (at the end of the tournament)."
Carter Page (Waynesville, N.C.) led the way for the Wolfpack on the first day of action, shooting an even-par score of 144 through the first 36 holes. The sophomore was very steady throughout the entire day, shooting back-to-back 72s to reach his Saturday final score. Page ended the day with eight birdies, hitting three in the first round and five in the second.
On the individual side of the tournament, Chad Cox (Charlotte, N.C.) also shot a two-round 144. He is tied for eighth in the field and level with Robert Register of North Carolina for the top score recorded by student-athletes competing in the individual portion of the tournament.
Logan Harrell and Stanhope Johnson (Greensboro, N.C.) ended the day in second for the Pack, tying for 12th in the field with two-round scores of 145. Harrell shot scores of 69 and 76, while Johnson carded two steady marks of 72 and 73.
Andrew Decker (Greenville, N.C.) ranked fourth for NC State (T-36 overall), shooting a two-round score of 149. The junior improved by one stroke from the first round to the second.
The Wolfpack got off to a great start during the first round of the day, ending the opening 18 holes in second place with a -4 team score of 284, just one stroke behind Georgia Tech for the lead. Harrell (Huntersville, N.C.) led the way for NC State and was tied atop the leaderboard following 18 holes, shooting an impressive three-under-par score of 69. Harrell turned in a masterful first round, collecting seven total birdies on his first time through the course. He would end the day with nine birdies, tying for fourth most in the field.
"Logan had a pretty special first round today," Sykes added. "He had a few double bogies but was able to balance that out with a lot of birdies."
Redshirt junior James Chapman (Gastonia, N.C.) also had a very solid first round, finishing the first 18 holes tied for sixth place with a one-under-par score of 71. Chapman finished the round with four birdies. He would end the day in fifth place for NC State, tying for 40th in the field with a two-round score of 150.
NC State will be back in action at the tournament on Sunday to complete the final 18 holes of the competition. First golfers in the field will tee off beginning at 7:40 a.m., but the Wolfpack men will not begin until 9:10 a.m.

Mina Rees and the Funding of the Mathematical Sciences
by Amy E. Shell-Gellasch
Federal support for research in the mathematical sciences in the United States was essentially developed during the Second World War and the years immediately following. Through her work on the Applied Mathematics Panel during the war, mathematician Mina Rees (1902-1997) was instrumental in facilitating scientific research for the war effort. As Head of the Mathematical Sciences Division and Deputy Science Director of the Office of Naval Research following the war, she helped revolutionize the form and scope of federal support of scientific research, and guided much of the development of early computers. She was dedicated to creating an environment in the United States in which the sciences, and mathematics in particular, grew and flourished.
Minimal Perimeter Triangles
by Mark Levi
Let K be an arbitrary closed convex curve in the plane. Of all the triangles circumscribed around K, let ABC be the one of least perimeter, and let A' be the point of tangency of the side BC with K. Similarly we define the tangency points B' and C'd . Then the lines AA' , BB' , and CC' are concurrent (i.e., they meet at a point). Moreover, the perpendiculars to the sides of the triangle at the points A' , B', and C' are concurrent as well. This latter property is much more general: it holds for triangles minimizing "most" other functions, such as the area, the sum of the squares of the sides, etc. I had first discovered these facts by an argument based on physics. This physical argument (along with a rigorous proof) is given in the article.
Tangents and Subtangents Used to Calculate Areas
by Tom M. Apostol and Mamikon A. Mnatsakanian
firstname.lastname@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com
A recent paper by the authors (Amer. Math. Monthly, June/July 2002) showed that subtangents can be used in practice to draw tangent lines, and it revealed that subtangents provide an unexpected connection between the tractrix and exponential curves. That paper also contains a rigorous justification of a geometric method of tangent sweeps developed by Mamikon Mnatsakanian that can be used to calculate area of many classical plane regions. This paper gives an alternate treatment for power functions, again using tangent sweeps and properties of subtangents. It finds (without calculus) the area of a parabolic segment, a hyperbolic segment, and all generalized ssegments arising from arbitrary real power functions. It also relates subtangents and the mean-value theorem for integrals.

Early Bird Publications
Early Bird has produced a number of publications that can be divided into three major categories. The primary focus of the Early Bird project was deep avian phylogenetics and the related resource development, and we have have written a number of paper describing the evolution of birds as a whole or relationships within specific orders.
Early Bird also included studies of comparative molecular and organismal evolution and a number of additional publications focused on a variety of topics including phylogenomics and more recent evolutionary divergences. In addition to the alphabetical lists within these categories we also provide a complete chronological list of Early Bird publications.
Word cloud summarizing a subset of Early Bird publications focused on deep avian phylogentics. The word cloud was produced using wordle.

A question
Very good the tutorial, thanks. I have a question, how can I change the labels "avaible options" and "selected options"?
Thanks for your help.
The standard multiple select list can be difficult to use, if your users are not very technical. Most of the time they won't know that you have to hold down command or ctrl key if you want to select multiple options. Also, once you have more than 10 options, the select list becomes very difficult to use. One wrong move and you can loose all the selected options.
The Multiselect module defines a widget that allows users to move selected items from one box to another. Visually this helps users to see which items have been selected. The widget can be used on a bunch of field types and it can be implemented as a form element using FAPI.
If you want to use Multiselect on an entity reference field, then use the 7.x-1.x-dev version.
Download and install the Multiselect module.
In this section, we'll use the Multiselect widget on the Tags field that is created when you install Drupal using the standard installation profile.
1. Structure -> "Content types" and click on "manage fields" within the Article row.
2. Click on Edit within the Tags row and then click on the "Widget tab" in the top right corner.
3. Select Multiselect from the "Widget type" select list and click on Continue.
4. Go to Content -> "Add content" and click on Article. Now the Tags widget has changed to a Multiselect widget.
You can also use the Multiselect widget on custom forms by defining
'#type' => 'multiselect' on a form element. Thankfully, the module ships with "Multiselect FAPI Example" module that shows you a working example.
1. Enable the "Multiselect FAPI Example" module.
2. Go to
/multiselect_fapi_example and you should see the example form.
Open the
multiselect_fapi_example.module file and go to
multiselect_fapi_example_display(). In this function you'll see the
multiselector form element.
$form['multiselector'] = array( '#type' => 'multiselect', '#title' => t('Here is the multiselect'), '#options' => array( 'title' => t('Titles only'), 'teaser' => t('Titles plus teaser'), 'fulltext' => t('Full text'), '1' => t('Option 1'), '2' => t('Option 2'), ), '#default_value' => _multiselect_fapi_example_options(), '#multiple' => TRUE, '#size' => 15, '#required' => TRUE, );
If you have any questions, please leave a comment.

Very good the tutorial, thanks. I have a question, how can I change the labels "avaible options" and "selected options"?
Thanks for your help.
You can't change those labels via a configuration page. However, there are two ways you could do it.
The first way, is to use the String Overrides (http://drupal.org/project/stringoverrides) module. This module allows you to override text that is passed through the "t()" function. This is the least "hacky" way. :)
Another possible option is to use JavaScript to change the labels.
If you're curious, look at the _multiselect_build_widget_code() function to see the labels.
Is there a way to make the multi select widget wider in D6. We are using two fields in a view as the source for the data populating the widget, but not all of the information is visible.
I haven't used the D6 version in a while, but couldn't you widen the form elements using CSS?
Hello ivan, Thanks for this great post,
Can u please tell me how to use multiselect in drupal 7 webform.
I don't think there is out-of-the-box integration between Webform and Multiselect. You'll have to implement a custom webform field to use Multiselect.
I found an issue in the Webform issue queue asking the same question. (https://drupal.org/node/1984178)
i will try to do it by template preprocessor ...by d way thanks for reply :)
Ivan, thanks for the hint to use the 7.x-1.x-dev version of the module on entity reference fields.
I was ready to give up and not use the module but then found your posting. Perfect!
In both the example and the on my custom module. The select boxes are not side by side they are on top of each other and neither the Add or Remove links work. Any ideas about what I might be doing wrong?
Not sure what the problem is, you should ask in the issue queue.

"Steering into the slide" is basically the rider being completely relaxed on the handlebars, the bike's geometry keeps the front wheel pointed in the direction of travel on its own. If the rider is tense on the bars it makes the bike less stable, if he makes a steering input it changes lean angle.
I can tell you from experience (although not Pro experience) that the only way to change lean angle at 100mph or so is with a deliberate counter-steer. Brakes causes the bike to stand up and/or push wider, throttle with a small slide will tighten your line a bit (but remember you are accelerating which widens your line) and body steering doesn't do shit. If you want the bike to change lean angle, you need to counter-steer just like you do on the street.
What MotoGP riders do with a motorcycle is amazing but it isn't magic.
Very well said.
I think the crossed up front wheel often comes from that they are still trying to steer with the bars with the front wheel off the ground.

The Teen Toolbox sponsors two annual drives/events to raise awareness about the issues faced by youth aging out of foster care and to show teens that someone cares:
Phase II:
We more than doubled our National Foster Care Awareness Month Second Annual Pack A Backpack Drive goal and collected 210 backpacks (duffel bags and knapsacks) filled with personal hygiene items to teen males in foster homes, group homes, and homeless shelters during the months of May and June 2013. (Our goal was 80.)
The backpacks were donated to eight organizations:
We are grateful to our generous donors. THANK YOU:
National Foster Care Month provides an opportunity raise awareness of the experiences and needs of the more than 400,000 children and youth in the foster care system. Pack A Backpack Drive is The Teen Toolbox's annual National Foster Care Month event. During the month of May we have collected and distributed new and gently used backpacks (duffel bags, and luggage) and new personal hygiene items to teenage males in group homes, foster homes, and homeless shelters.
Today is the last day to donate: toothbrush, toothpaste, mouthwash, dental floss, hand sanitizer, deodorant, soap, acne products, lotion, powder, shampoo, conditioner, shaving items, etc. We are also collecting disposable cameras and wallets.
What I Know Now:
Every state in the United States has children and teens in the foster care system. These young people belong to all of us. May is National Foster Care Month. Let's show that we care.
National Foster Care Month Core Messages:
Today is the day. May 1st marks the beginning of National Foster Care Month. This entire month is dedicated to showcasing that each of us can play a part in enhancing the lives of children and youth in foster care.
National Foster Care Month 2013 – Supporting Youth In Transition
National Foster Care Month also provides an opportunity for acknowledging the thousands of dedicated foster families and other caring individuals and organizations who are already supporting youth in foster care. We can never publicly recognize all the agencies supporting these young people. We will highlight various agencies throughout National Foster Care Month.
Global Youth Service Day (GYSD) celebrates and mobilizes the millions of young people who improve their communities each day of the year through service. Established in 1988, Global Youth Service Day is the largest service event in the world, and the only day of service dedicated to children and youth.
Pack A Backpack Drive is our annual drive to collect and distribute backpacks, duffel bags, and luggage with personal hygiene items to teen males in foster homes, group homes and homeless shelters each May during National Foster Care Month. Our Pack a Backpack Drive makes an awesome GYSD project.
National Volunteer Week begins today. National Volunteer Week 2013 is celebrated April 21-27. It is about inspiring, recognizing and encouraging people to seek out imaginative ways to engage in their communities. It's about demonstrating to the nation that by working together, we have the fortitude to meet our challenges and accomplish our goals.
National Volunteer Week is sponsored by Points of Light and was established in 1974.
It is about taking action and encouraging individuals and their respective communities to be at the center of social change – discovering and actively demonstrating their collective power to foster positive transformation.
You can get involved with National Volunteer Week by becoming a Pack A Backpack Ambassador. An Ambassador organizes and hosts a collection site for our Pack A Backpack Drive. We would like to collaborate with fraternities, youth groups, churches, sports teams, school clubs, and parent groups.

The survey ranks among the largest surveys of any kind ever conducted nationally.The survey helps school leaders understand what key members of the school community say about the learning environment at each school. The information captured by the survey is designed to support a dialogue among all members of the school community about how to make the school a better place to learn. The 2014-2015 version of the NYC School Survey is aligned to the DOE's Framework for Great Schools. The survey will collect vital information about a school's capacity to improve student achievement by measuring the extent to which each school incorporates the six essential elements— rigorous instruction, supportive environment, collaborative teachers, effective school leadership, strong family and community ties, and trust—that drive school improvement and develop students to compete in the 21st century. The survey will be one of multiple measures used to help the DOE assess the six essential elements.
For more information about the research behind the Framework for Great Schools, see here.
Below are materials that schools can use to get acquainted with the background and administration of the 2015 NYC School Survey.
981,253 New York City parents, students, and teachers completed the 2014 NYC School Survey. Feedback gathered by the survey is aggregated at the citywide level and also summarized and reported for each individual school.

NEW YORK/BEIRUT: Brrrr. It's time for all good children, at least those in chilly territory, to curl up with a good book featuring snow. Picture books showing off the white stuff make perfect Christmas presents for budding readers. Here's eight to get you started:
1. "The Snowy Day," written and illustrated by Ezra Jack Keats, reprint edition from Puffin. This 1963 Caldecott Medal winner is the tranquil story of a city boy named Peter who bundles up for crunchy outdoor adventures after discovering it snowed overnight. Cutouts, watercolors and the Brooklyn-born creator's classic collage work. It's considered the first full-color picture book to feature an African-American protagonist.
2. "Snow," written and illustrated by Uri Shulevitz, reprint edition from Square Fish. First out in 1998. A hopeful "boy with dog" lives in a great, gray city inhabited by doubtful grown-ups transformed with the season's first snowflake. It earned Shulevitz, who survived the bombing of Warsaw as a boy, a Caldecott Honor and may be just the thing to cheer up a modern-day "grandfather with beard" who utters: "It's only a snowflake."
3. "Snowflake Bentley," by Jacqueline Briggs Martin, illustrated by Mary Azarian, reprint edition from HMH Books for Young Readers. Another Caldecott Medal winner, this one was also first published in 1998. It tells the story of Vermont's Wilson "Snowflake" Bentley, a self-educated farmer who combined a microscope and an old bellows camera to become the first person to photograph a single snow crystal in 1885.
4. "Atelier du père Noël" by Cécile Petit and Sébastien Pelon. First out in 2012 by Editions Milan. This French children's book offers an interactive exploration of the North Pole with paper cutouts to assemble into the workshop of Father Christmas and his elves.
5. "Frosty the Snowman," illustrated by Wade Zahares, music and lyrics by Steve Nelson and Jack Rollins, from Imagine. This retelling of the seasonal song standard features a trippy-looking Frosty in black top hat and green mittens. Includes a three-track CD with the song and others performed by Grammy winner Kenny Loggins.
6. "Sisi Malaket" or "Sisi Tweezers – Wearing a Sheep and Two Worms" in Arabic by Rania Zaghir and illustrated by Heba Farran. Published in 2009 by Al-Khayyat al-Saghir. The awarding-winning tale of Sisi, who teaches other young girls about the changing seasons through her changing outfits. The books aims to teach children fabrics and how appropriate each is as the temperature changes.
7. "The Snow Queen," by Hans Christian Andersen, illustrated by Bagram Ibatoulline, from Harper. The black crow and troll almost jump off the page with detailed, lifelike drawings by the Russian-born artist. The queen, with winged headpiece and icy eyes, lures Kai to her frozen castle, where he nearly dies from cold until his rescue by friend Gerda.
8. "Big Snow," written and illustrated by Jonathan Bean, from Farrar Straus Giroux, tells the story of an antsy young boy who awaits a big snowstorm. Botching chores with his mother when changing bedsheets, fluffy flour for cookies and sudsy soap bubbles while cleaning the bathroom lead him into a blizzard dream at naptime.
9. "When it Snows," by Richard Collingridge, from Feiwel and Friends. A picture-book debut that features not only an eery ode to megasnow and various large icy creatures, but also a good word at the end for reading itself.
10. "Ladybug Girl and the Big Snow," by David Soman and Jacky Davis, Dial Books for Young Readers. The latest in the best-selling franchise by this husband-and-wife team. Lulu dons her trademark all-red ladybug look, dotted wings and tutu over puffy jacket and snow pants to romp in a magical big snow with her dog, Bingo. Joined by her brother, they create lots of snow animals, including a nice likeness of her pet.

Calmare Pain Therapy Treatment® is a non-invasive, non-pharmaceutical solution for pain control and drug resistant pain. It uses biophysical "scrambler" technology, a type of treatment for nerve pain that uses electrodes placed on the skin. Very low doses of electricity are transmitted from the electrodes through the skin to block the pain. Pain may be a result of chronic conditions including injury, cancer and chemotherapy, diabetic pain, lower back pain, chronic neck pain, post surgical pain, failed back surgery syndrome, phantom limb syndrome, RSD, fibromyalgia, radiating pain and neuropathy.
Why Calmare is revolutionary in the treatment of pain:
It has been proven successful in the treatment of pain by leading oncologic studies. In 2010, the Journal of Clinical Oncology published a report reporting Calmare scrambler therapy had proven to be effective in helping cancer patients overcome chronic pain http://bit.ly/gQnnNT
- FDA-cleared 510(k)-cleared and European CE mark-certified
- Pain free
- Non-invasive
- Drug-free
- No side affects
Calmare History:
The Calmare medical device was developed by Professor Giuseppe Marineo, a researcher and bioengineer and the founder and manager of Delta Research & Development. Delta R&D is the Bioengineering Research Center affiliated with Tor Vergata University in Rome. "Calmare" in Italian means "to soothe or ease."
Throughout our website, you will see published reports by respected medical organizations documenting patient studies that confirm Calmare therapy is successful in the treatment of many types of pain. For example, a teenager recently turned to Calmare therapy to treat his severe pain after being struck by lightning. Click here http://competitivetech.net/news/101228.html to read his story.
Calmare Technology:
Calmare Pain Therapy Treatment® uses a biophysical (using physical methods to treat biological problems) rather than a biochemical (drugs) approach. The device works to relieve pain directly at the pain site without any reliance on medication. Via small electrodes, a 'no-pain' message is transmitted directly to the nerve for a period of approximately 35 minutes per session. Regardless of severity, pain symptoms have been proven to be significantly reduced or alleviated during the treatment series process.
How does it work?
Patients are comfortably connected to the Calmare Pain Therapy Treatment® device via small electrodes (similar to those used in EKG and other medical procedures) placed on the patient's skin at the pain site/s. The device then sends a very low current of electrical stimulation through the skin and nerve fibers, which carries a "no pain" signal to the brain, essentially overriding the previous pain signal.
During the treatment process, the patient's pain steadily decreases to allow the patient to participate in normal daily activities and resume a better quality of life. In some cases, pain relief has been reported in as few as three treatments, but each patient's case is unique.
Since research studies began in 2002, Calmare therapy has no reported side effects after several treatments.

Thread: Need some proportion advice

Need some proportion advice
Hi people im in the process of making a bikini model picture, and i just need to know which of these 2 pieces is more anatomically correct, the 1st one is directly copied from the picture i'm aiming to recreate, and the 2nd is referenced from the same picture but using more of my style on it. Btw if they're both crap pleae tell me what i can do on the pic itself that will help it.
I do aim to finish this so i just need some early look over from the pros. Thank loads.

The only thing I would suggest at the moment is to really study anatomy. If you're wanting to do character art, there's really no avoiding it. Try and get copies of anatomy books by Loomis, Hogarth and Vilppu. You'll learn how to craft anatomically correct, or convincing, characters without having to always use reference. Just draw, and practice all the time, going through the books. It should help immeasurably.
Regarding this figure, I would say try and think of the figure as a 3d shape. Try and block in the important masses first of all. I like to start with a couple of sweeping lines to establish a general pose for the character. One of these lines will loosely represent the curve of the spine. Then, I would block in the torso using simple shapes. After this, I would position the legs, paying attention to which leg the weight is being carried on.
The second figure is in a really awkward pose. The position and width of the shoulders don't seem to match up with the position of her head. Also, the arms are anatomically suspect, they both look bent unnaturally.
Anyway, hope this helps, and good luck with the image.
February 12th, 2007 #3
Thanks a lot mate i appreciate u taking to time to help me out, i've actually been drawng for a looooong time funnily, i only recently got into this figure drawing study proper as i never took a proper art course outside of secondary education (me in UK)
I've already done some stuff in that department. If you wanna check it out i've started my own sketchbook thread which i'll be posting all my study stuff good or bad.
I'll check out those books u mentioned as well. Cheers for the assistance man
February 13th, 2007 #4
The first one is better, the second girls head is too small, and the hands look off. I's a good pose however. the recommended books are a great idea, especially "Figure Drawing for all it's worth" by Loomis. If you can't find it, there are numerous pdfs floating around for reference purposes, just google it.
Remember to draw what you see, not what you think you see. Look at your ref at least every 2 seconds, I know it sounds extreme, bt it works!
Hope that helps mate.
The sketchbook thread!

The Hands are too big. And the Pose seems a little bit stiff.
I guess you can gain some experiance by getting some books with human anatomy and you will gain more experiance with every drawing you make...
I had a lot of experience with people smarter than I am.

In your 2nd drawing always take note of the angle of the shoulders and hips as well. Check your proportions. Study the planes of the head and body. And the way the head is tilted, that means it's in perspective so the features should recede in the direction of the perspective lines that will converge at some point to the vanishing point. The lips are also placed on a cylindrical mass of the superior and inferior maxillary( where the teeth is) so its shape should follow the cylinder. The eyes should have a feeling of being spherical and a feeling of resting in the eye sockets which are concave and often in the shadows.

Editor's Note: As some Charleston City Council members are calling for measures to reduce cat overpopulation in city neighborhoods, animal rescue advocate and Dog Bless co-founder Chelsea Staley has penned a guest blog for Cap West's Pet City on the subject.
By Chelsea Staley
If you're within the circulation territory of the Daily Mail, odds are there are dozens of stray cats roaming your neighborhood. The same is true across the country, as tens of millions of strays are estimated to be roaming freely.
Such cats can become a nuisance (dare I say a public health risk?), and municipalities nationwide are cracking down on their very existence. Programs to eliminate "community cats" vary in approach from traditional (dare I say inhumane?) trap-and-kill methods, to cat limit ordinances, to the more progressive TNR approach.
TNR stands for Trap, Neuter, Return, and the process is exactly that. (1) Trap community cats; (2) Have cats spayed/neutered and vaccinated; and (3) return cats to their habitat.
Though TNR does not immediately reduce the number of community cats roaming neighborhoods, it does provide many desirable benefits instantly.
First, TNR stabilizes community cat colonies and is estimated to reduce the colony population by 66 percent over ten years (www.alleycat.org).
TNR also improves cats' (and citizens') lives.
It reduces the stress of mating and pregnancy in community cats, eliminating mating behaviors like roaming, spraying, fighting, and yowling. Public health risks are eliminated because cats are vaccinated against rabies.
Last, TNR eliminates wasteful spending of taxpayer dollars. In a study commissioned by Best Friends Animal Society, TNR was estimated to reduce animal control costs associated with community cats by more than half (www.bestfriends.org).
Some communities are taking TNR one step further, providing housing for cats. By providing designated community cat housing and feeding colonies consistently at those locations, municipalities have effectively relocated their cats from populated neighborhoods to more desirable locations.
A fun way to get citizens involved is to commission local artists to design community cat housing with aesthetic appeal, like this retro style:
In sum, TNR is the only proven solution to humanely stabilize and reduce cat colonies, improve cats' (and citizens') lives, and save taxpayer dollars. Jazzed up colony housing is just an added bonus (and perhaps a FestivALL contest?).
West Virginia communities practicing TNR: Parkersburg, Braxton County (4 municipalities)

There are plenty of ways to pay for TNR programs. Pet supply retailer PetSmart offers a $100,000 grant, for example:
