Patent filings detail Retina MacBook Pro's quiet asymmetric fansA trio of patent applications discovered on Thursday reveal how the asymmetric fan blade spacing used in the newest MacBook Pro with Retina display models quiet the spinning impeller without sacrificing performance.
Source: USPTO
The three patent applications, all titled "Centrifugal blower with asymmetric blade spacing" and numbered sequentially by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (1, 2, 3) cover separate fan designs that feature asymmetrically aligned fan blades, two with 31 blades and one with 61 blades.
Apple first introduced its asymmetric fan design in June with the 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display and a subsequent teardown revealed that the laptop uses a 31-blade unit.
Typical fans incorporate a prime number of blades that are spaced at angles equidistant to each other, an industry standard aimed at reducing unwanted sound. At issue is the blade pass frequency (BPF) which produces harmonics from the pressure wave formed at the tip of each blade. The most noticeable source of noise is the pole pass frequency (PPF) tone, or the "vibration and resulting pressure waves created by the poles in the motor of the fan."
Source: Graph of sound pressure levels in a traditional fan versus on with asymmetric fan blades.
Apple's design calls for variably-angled blades that controls the spectral distribution of tones created by the fan. First-hand tests have found the new design to not necessarily quiet fan noise as much as create a less grating sound.
From the patent:
Dispersing the energy of a tone over a number of discrete frequencies can make the tone seem less noisy to the listener by reducing the perception on the tonal BPF [blade pass frequency]. Spacing fan blades unevenly, while maintaining impeller balance, is one method of controlling pure-tone effects.
According to the invention, the rearrangemnt of the fan blade angles cancels some of the noise usually heard in conventional portable computers but allows for the unit to still be balanced as the center of mass is located at the shaft of the impeller. The modified design also allows for the fan system to be smaller, thus permitting a thinner laptop as seen with the Retina MacBook Pros.

Now, where are the Mariners going find a "yes" man??
Originally written on Low Brow Sports | Last updated 9/27/13
Seattle Mariners manager Eric Wedge saw the writing on the wall and preempted the front office by announcing his resignation at the end of the season. "I accept Eric's decision not to return and thank him for his hard work here the past three years," Mariners GM Jack Zduriencik said in a statement, via USA TODAY Sports. "I want to wish him and his family all the best in the future." Earlier this week, Wedge made a stink about being left "hanging out there" on his status for next season and beyond: "It's tough," Wedge said. "I feel like I'm hanging out there. That's the reality of it. But I'm coming here and doing my job. You know how passionate I am about this team and these players in particular and this organization." Wedge, who was hired by the Mariners in Oct. 2010, has presided over three straight losing seasons, but says he isn't responsible for the Mariners' 70-89 record, or that they haven't reached the playoffs since 2001. "I didn't get here 12 years ago," h

Super Dry Chalk
This chalk has a drying agent in it, so it's great for people who tend to sweat a lot, like me. I'm addicted to this stuff, and feel like I'm slipping off holds if I use regular block chalk now. My best friend has very dry skin, and she doesn't like this chalk because it actually makes her hands too dry (hard for me to relate to). So if you grease off holds a lot, don't have dry skin and/or live in a humid climate, you will probably notice good results with this.

Deeplinks Blog posts about CALEA
EFF just received documents in response to a 2-year old FOIA request for information on the FBI's "Going Dark" program, an initiative to increase the FBI's authority in response to problems the FBI says it's having implementing wiretap and pen register/trap and trace orders on new communications technologies. The documents detail a fully-formed and well-coordinated plan to expand existing surveillance laws and develop new ones. And although they represent only a small fraction of the documents we expect to receive in response to this and a more recent FOIA request, they were released just in time to provide important background information for the House Judiciary Committee's hearing tomorrow on the Going Dark program.
Two hearings tomorrow—one in court and one in Congress—will highlight the brewing debate over whether Congress should expand federal surveillance laws to force Internet communications service providers like Facebook, Google and Skype to build technical backdoors into their systems to enable government wiretapping.
• First, at 10:00 AM EST on Capitol Hill, the House Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing entitled "Going Dark: Lawful Electronic Surveillance in the Face of New Technologies", where law enforcement representatives are expected to make their case for expanded Internet wiretapping capabilities.
Today EFF filed a reply brief in its FOIA lawsuit seeking records from the FBI, DOJ and DEA that would justify the Administration's need to expand federal surveillance laws like the Communications Assistance to Law Enforcement Act (CALEA). The proposed expansion would require communications providers like Skype, Facebook, Blackberry and Twitter to build wiretapping capabilities right into their systems, and although we know Congress intends to turn to this issue early this year, FBI, DEA and DOJ have argued they can't give us all the documents we asked for until the summer of 2012.
"Effective data protection is vital for our democracies and underpins other fundamental rights and freedoms." - Viviane Reding, Vice-President of the European Commission and Commissioner for Justice, Fundamental Rights and Citizenship.
At the beginning of this year EFF identified a dozen important trends in law, technology and business that we thought would play a significant role in shaping digital rights in 2010, with a promise to revisit our predictions at the end of the year. Now, as 2010 comes to a close, we're going through each of our predictions one by one to see how accurate we were in our trend-spotting. Today, we're looking back on Trend #8, Congress, where we predicted:
In retrospect, 2009 wasn't disastrous for online civil liberties in federal technology law. With Washington entirely distracted by health care reform, a lot of the most problematic proposed federal technology legislation was delayed, postponed or temporarily forgotten.

China releases new draft patent law for comment
On 9 August 2012, China's State Intellectual Property Office (SIPO) released a draft fourth amendment to China's Patent Law for public comment. This draft focuses on patent enforcement, and comes at a time of intense international scrutiny of China's patent regime. For example, in July, the United States Patent and Trademark Office released a report summarising patent enforcement issues that US businesses have faced in China.

I bet he didn't say he wanted name suppression so he didn't appear in the NZ Herald
I love this article in the Manawatu Standard.
People want name suppression so they don't appear on WOBH.
I bet he didn't say he wanted name suppression so he didn't appear in the NZ Herald.<
Or on radio.
Or on TV.
A man accused of possessing objectionable material has been given name suppression, after concerns were raised that he could be targeted by Whale Oil blogger Cameron Slater .
The suppression argument, which was heard today and last Friday in the Palmerston North District Court, revolved around what Judge Stephanie Edwards described as a "protracted" case stretching back nearly three years.
The man had interim name suppression orders rolled over after each court appearance, but an order had not been properly made on the two charges he faces, the judge said.
The man has pleaded not guilty to those charges, and elected trial by jury.
During the argument, defence lawyer Fergus Steedman said he had seen the man at various states of distress during proceedings.
"I know full well what a catastrophic effect publication will have."
Steedman said the man would likely be targeted by Slater if named, which would have an effect on both the man's health and his fair trial rights.
The judge gave the man name suppression today, after deciding naming him before the case was resolved could unfairly influence jury members.
The jury members were unlikely to understand some of the steps which had taken place for the case to get to where it was now, she said.
The judge also said naming him before the case was resolved would cause extreme hardship to him and people he knew. Read more »
Nom, nom, nom, dog bites crim who attacked his owner
Some creepy little Indian half-man has had his arms gnawed on by a dog protecting its owner.
It seems it is a bit hard to concentrate on an indecent assault while a dog is chewing through your arm.
Police are looking for an Indian man with bite marks on his arm after a dog helped save his owner during an indecent assault.
The 20-year-old woman was attacked in the car park of the Countdown supermarket on Bridge St, Hamilton on Wednesday, detective sergeant Matt Cranshaw said.
She was walking to her car in the centre of the car park at approximately 8pm when the male offender grabbed her from behind as she opened the driver's side door, he said.
"The dog was in the back on the car and growled…and then he grabbed the guy's arm, and then she kicked him [the offender] in the groin.
"Whether to say the dog saved the day, who knows – but definitely the combined actions of the dog and the lady did the job."
The dog let go of the man's right arm, and the offender fled the scene. He was described as Indian in appearance, of short stature, aged in his mid 30s to early 40s.
This is why you shoot pirates
International law defines only the crime of piracy, not the penalty, it could be argued therefore that you are allowed to execute pirates on the high seas…so Lord knows why the Cheese Eating Surrender Monkeys bothered apprehending them..now it has caused no end of grief.
The European Court of Human Rights says France violated the rights of Somali pirates who had attacked French ships and has ordered compensation for them over judicial delays.
The nine Somali pirates should get thousands of euros because they were not immediately brought before a French judge, the court ruled.
One is to get 9,000 euros (£7,000) and the others sums of up to 7,000 euros.
What they should have got was a bullet. Read more »
From the passenger seat: How to slay Slater?
By Pete
You can't turn on the radio, TV or read news stories without being bombarded with negatives about Cameron Slater. The very Cameron Slater who has come out, legally, squeaky clean out of Government Inquiries, and is facing not a single charge in court for breaking any laws. Nor is he charged, or under investigation by police.
It is no wonder that there is a full court press from Labour. Not only are they implicitly scared of him and his abilities, they also know that a black cloud is forming over them, and their associates. They failed to take him down the first time, and now, they are all out to do a job that they failed to do a few months ago.
What may be odd is that the media are now all after Cam Slater as well. They are assisting Labour in trying to paint Slater as some kind of evil to New Zealand. But what is it that he actually does?
He runs a blog.
Surely that can't be it? Should someone with a web site, that nobody is forced to visit, be so feared and vilified?
The media have other motivations, the least of which is that they have been, and still are, working closely with Cam when it suits them, but at the same time, they are trying to make it look like he's one of the most evil people in the country.
Why would that be? Read more »
Kim Dotcom broke, whining like a baby about it too
Kim Dotcom is crying a river of tears because he is broke…though I note he hasn't yet moved out of his rented mansion.
German entrepreneur Kim Dotcom has acknowledged that he has run out of money after spending over $US10 million on legal costs.
Speaking through a Skype call at the unBound Digital conference in London, Dotcom said his three-year legal fight could be coming to an end. "My legal team resigned after I ran out of money," Dotcom said. "I spent $US10 million to defend myself. They have drained all my resources."
In times past this was referred to as a 'forlorn hope'. Recklessly charging ahead despite overwhleming odds, hoping for a miracle.
He wouldn't have such massive legal bills if he had only just hopped on a plan to the US and cleared his name. He has claimed innocence yet acts like a guilty crook.
Dotcom said the appearance could be his last public interview, because he suspected that the New Zealand government could use his lack of funds to revoke his bail Thursday during his next bail hearing.
"I'm an easy target because of my flamboyant lifestyle," he said. "It's hard to keep a low profile when you have number plates with 'GOD' and 'STONED' on them. Also, I'm German, and Hollywood loves German Bond villains."
Who cares? Why do the media cuddle crims?
David "Tainted" Fisher has his knickers in a bunch over some apparently "wrong" statistics used to justify the toughening up of laws regarding gangs.
I might be missing something here but why is "Tainted" and his employer mounting a campaign on behalf of scum gang members?
Cabinet signed off tough new measures to tackle gangs on the basis of inaccurate information which over-estimated the scale of the crime problem.
The briefing paper told ministers 4000 gang members alone were responsible for a huge number of drug and violence crimes, including murders.
The release of the document through the Official Information Act followed the earlier discovery the wrong information had been used in a press release to justify the policy.
Cabinet ministers were also given the wrong information.
The information, which appeared to have been provided by police to the minister's office, went before Cabinet in June before the August announcement.
The new measures passed by Cabinet were targeted at gang members who were said to be responsible for huge levels of criminal activity. They also show the Government contemplating greater powers for police to tackle gang activity.
Sociologist and gang researcher Dr Jarrod Gilbert outed then Police Minister Anne Tolley over the inaccurate press release and said it was "absurd" the wrong information had also gone to Cabinet. "This was an error of epic proportions. The problem by comparison is almost insignificant."
The inaccurate figures had suggested the 4000 gang members in New Zealand were personally responsible for about 1500 serious violence and drug charges. New figures show this year gang members were actually responsible for 26 of the 649 serious drug charges laid. They were also responsible for 61 of 868 violence charges.
Stephen Franks lashes a judge for her dodgy 3 strikes ruling
Stephen Franks lambasts a judge over her wonky and dodgy 3 strikes ruling last week.
There has been surprisingly little attention paid to the Court's decision last Friday not "to order that [a gang murderer] serve a life sentence without parole" despite the judge's admission that she was "required [by the three strikes law] to order that [he] serve that life sentence without parole" unless it would be manifestly unjust.
She then converted that requirement to find manifest injustice into the standard pre-three strikes judicial quibbling about disproportionality. With breathtaking ease she slid past a previousmanslaughter to focus on the 'relatively minor' nature of the offences that triggered the three strikes law application, managing to take into account also the 'signs that you wish to be more pro-social as noted in the presentence report' .
She completely turns on its head the law's intent that offenders get greater certainty about the consequences of offending, noting that the murderer would not have known at the time of the earlier offences of the three strikes certainty.
Judicial naivete at its worst. It is only by applying the law, that offfenders believe that it will be applied. The most clear lesson from the experience where three strikes certainty was followed by dramatic reductions in offending, was that pitiless certainty finally sent the message to offenders that they could no longer gamble on meeting soft judges and gullible parole boards.
Sensible Sentencing is correct to highlight this judgment in their Judge the Judges website. But the judge concerned is orthodox. Judges generally resist punishment as a legitimate and sufficient purpose of sentencing. With Parliamentary sanction they have collectively warped criminal law from doing justice on behalf of victims and the innocent, into a primary role of therapy for the criminological needs of offenders. They do not respect the common sense intuitions of ordinary people. They resent the demand for retributive, incapacitating and deterrent punishment. To them only rehabilitative objectives are truly noble.
Just one of the lies Labour are spreading
A good Labour source phoned me last night to tell me what Labour is spreading around Wellington about the hacks of my emails and the next big reveal.
I have been getting updates like this regularly, and they are invariably false.
This one however is particularly concerning.
They say that the latest leak will be emails that apparently involve me hiring a hitman and arranging a hit on someone, and that as a result the Police are about to arrest me.
This is a lie. A scurrilous smear, that only the Labour party could put about.
It is my understanding that the supposed victim of this is also spreading this around town.
There is a problem with this story. It is false. No emails exist nor chats. And the alleged assault and crimes were committed well after the hack occurred.
It is something I would never do. If I knew anything about this attack I would inform the Police myself.
In regards to that matter though, the Police have already arrested someone in connection with that crime and he has been charged. Read more »
Politics as Combat
It has come to this after six years of Barack Obama's Chicago-style community-organizer governance: The hard Left no longer believes it necessary to pretend that the rule of law matters. It is politics as combat. The devolution can be measured from the trumped-up indictment of Tom DeLay to the trumped-up indictment of Rick Perry.
Back in 2005, the idea of exploiting prosecutorial power to criminalize one's political opposition was still sufficiently noxious that Democrat apparatchiks in Austin understood the need for camouflage. Tom DeLay of Texas was among the GOP's most effective leaders and fundraisers, having risen to congressional leadership not long after he helped Newt Gingrich lead the 1994 GOP takeover of the House. Democrats decided he had to be sidelined. They also knew they had the raw power to make it happen: a political operative ensconced as the chief prosecutor in a reliably Democratic county. In politics as combat, raw power is all you need — just cause has nothing to do with it.
But nine years ago, it was still unacceptable for the rub-out to look too much like a rub-out. It was not possible to charge DeLay with the non-crime of raising money for Republican candidates — his real offense as far as his adversaries were concerned. So he was indicted for a convoluted money-laundering scheme.
You may have noticed that the political left is using similar tactics here…legal challenges by Graham McCready exclusively against right wing politicians…and now dirty, illegal hacking against the voices that speak against their politics. Read more »

A YEAR IN THE GARDENby Theodore James, Jr. Acclaimed garden author James and garden photographer Harry Haralambou take us on an enjoyable and enlightening tour of their gardens as they evolve through the seasons. They also share the story of the evolutionary background of these gardens from the time James purchased the one acre Long Island, NY property in 1974.

AMERICAN GROWNThe Story of the White House Kitchen Garden and Gardens Across America. By Michelle Obama Every president finds some way to leave a legacy at the White House, whether exotic trees and flowers or a grazing sheep on the South lawn. While there have been many gardens, not since Eleanor Roosevelt has anyone grown food on the White House lawn. First Lady Michelle Obama, a passionate spokesperson in the fight against poor nutrition and obesity related illness, has created a thriving vegetable garden during her time there. She has combined a love of healthy living and a desire to work with children and communities to create the kitchen garden beautifully pictured throughout this engaging book. Community volunteers, White House chefs, elementary school children and master gardeners came together to create this project, which is chronicled from conception to harvest.

March meeting minutes/ Earth Day
Expand Messages
- March 26th, 2000 meeting minutes
Attendees: Mike Ewert, Charles Mauch, James Ferrill, Oral LaFleur, Diane
Clemens, Jonathan Clemens
A few members made it out the Pollution Solutions tour and said that it was
very good. (see www.hotearth.net for details).
Mike Ewert agreed to take a poll about what the main reasons are that we do
not have higher attendance at our bi-monthly meetings.
I have created an anonymous poll on our eGroup. Please go to
www.egroups.com/polls/hreg and register your vote(s). I will close it in
about a week and we will all receive the results.
We approved an increase from $150 to $200 for the solar go-cart project at
Seabrook Intermediate. Mike Ewert reported that the project was going well
and the car would be ready for earth day.
Charles Mauch reported that the Citizen's Environment Coalition (CEC) board
would meet on 4/4 and should approve HREG membership at that time.
We agreed that all should check our membership list on the eGroup and look
for missing members.
HREG elections were discussed. An election will be held at our next regular
meeting on May 28th. We agreed on 3 formally elected positions (I guess
annually): President, VP, and secretary/treasurer. We also plan have less
formal 'point of contact' positions for as long as people are willing to do
The following nominations were made for officers:
President - Jonathan Clemens
Vice president - Oral LaFleur
Secretary/treasurer - James Ferrill
Additional nominations will be accepted by e-mail to me (mike.ewert@...)
or to the group (firstname.lastname@example.com) until the end of April.
Current points of contact are:
Charles Mauch for CEC
Gary Ashcraft for Science and Engineering Council of Houston
James Ferrill for Home Power magazine
Mike Ewert volunteered for Education at this meeting
We discussed future meetings. Mike will invite Leonard Bachman to speak at
the May meeting on 'Passive solar and energy efficient homes in Houston'.
Other ideas for future meetings were Dr. Hill or Oral to speak about TSU's
summer workshop for high school students on Renewable Energy and
Environmental Protection (REEP) and George Bundee, the sustainability
officer for UT Health Science Center.
Other ideas for action are to meet with HISD or other groups who could
implement solar projects. We should apply for Grants for solar demos.
around town. One possibility is a grant that Enron gave at Earth Day
(actually 4 grants for $2000 each I think).
Don't forget about www.renewableenergyroundup.com. We are committed for some
volunteers and Jonathan would like us to do a workshop. Be thinking of a
Report from Earth Day (April 1st):
Oral L., Charles M., James F., Alan Chang and Mike E. were there. We never
got either rain or sun although it looked like we could get either. We had
a nice display! Go-cart, bubble machine, small water heater, windmill,
small car - all solar powered of course. The go-cart and bubble machine had
batteries so could run even without the sun. Thousands walked by and
looked; hundreds stopped by to talk; and we collected more than a dozen
names and will contact them about joining the group. People seemed very
interested! We won't know for a while if we won a prize if it is like last
year. I'll bring pictures to our next meeting.
Budget Report:
Earth Day 1999 Prize +$500
Earth Day 1999 expenses (bubble machine) $25
CEC membership $50
Houston Science and Engineering Council $25?
(approved but not paid)
Solar go-cart materials for Seabrook Inter. $200
Earth Day 2000 expenses (bubble machine) $32.47
P.O. Box, banner (donated by Jonathan) $0
Balance $167.53

In agile manifesto and in many answers here, I found this :
Individuals and interactions over processes and tools.
So, what exactly does it mean?
In my opinion, processes and tools are important part of software development. For example, what is the point of installing continuous integration if people are going to ignore the result for weeks?

My day at CLCC '15
The Cincinnati Library Comic Con was today. I don't have a picture of myself from there this time, and maybe that's just as well, because I was kind of frazzled. The day didn't start out well. First, I lost track of time and had to rush through lunch and hurry out to my car. Then I found that my car wouldn't start — the battery must've died. The one other person in the lot didn't know anything about jumpstarting cars, and in retrospect, that was just as well, since even if I'd made it downtown, I would've probably needed another jumpstart to get back home again. Anyway, I hurried down to the bus stop, lugging my bag of books to sell, and just barely made it in time to catch the bus. I made it in time — early, in fact — but it wasn't an auspicious beginning.
For a while, too, it seemed like I wasn't going to sell many books. As I said in my earlier post, I decided to focus on my superhero stuff this year based on what sold last year, bringing mainly copies of Only Superhuman and my last few leftover copies of my two Marvel novels, and as an afterthought I brought a few Trek novels: a couple of copies each of Ex Machina, The Buried Age, and Greater Than the Sum. But somehow, for the first hour or so, it was only the Trek novels that people were interested in buying. Perhaps it's because I brought TOS and TNG books this time instead of the more unfamiliar stuff like DTI and Rise of the Federation. Anyway, after a while, I was afraid I wouldn't move any of the OS hardcovers and would end up making substantially less money than I did last year. Fortunately, things picked up right near the end and I finally sold a couple of the OS hardcovers, as well as four of the five Marvel books. I made nearly as much as I did last year — though that new car battery is probably going to eat up all of it and then some.
Still, I wonder why I had more trouble getting people interested in OS this year. I suspect it's because I wasn't pitching it as well. The problems with my car and racing for the bus threw me off and tired me out, and I didn't do that great a job talking it up. So even though I managed to come out of the day okay, I feel I could've done better.
Also, when one person asked me to write down my website address for them, I wasn't thinking clearly and I put an "@" before "wordpress.com" instead of a period. I hope they figure out what it's supposed to be.
The weirdest question I got from a convention guest today was when someone asked me if The Hunger Games had anything to do with Star Trek. I have no idea what led to that question. (The only connection I've been able to find is that Robert Knepper is in Mockingjay and was also in TNG: "Haven" and VGR: "Dragon's Teeth." Although you could get a degrees-of-separation thing with Jennifer Lawrence and Sir Patrick Stewart both being in X-Men: Days of Future Past, or Philip Seymour Hoffman and Simon Pegg both being in Mission: Impossible III.) I did have a couple of more constructive conversations with people interested in writing and wanting to learn about the process. Hopefully I was coherent enough to be helpful.
Thanks to LeeAnn and the library staff for their invitation to the event and their support while I was there!
Green Blaze triumphant! ONLY SUPERHUMAN earns out its advance!
I got my latest royalty statement for Only Superhuman today, and since the last few have been less than satisfying, I didn't have much hope that this one would be any different. I'd been edging slowly closer toward the point where the royalties would exceed my advance, but I was starting to doubt if I'd ever actually get there. So imagine my thrilled surprise when I opened the envelope and discovered there was a check enclosed! Not a huge check, but a check! I made it! For the first time in my life, one of my novels has earned out its advance. It's not as big a success as I was hoping for — I still think I would've reached this point sooner if there had been more copies of the mass-market paperback published and put on shelves in the first place, so that readers could find it — and it's not an achievement that's going to put me on the map any more than I was before, but it is a goal reached and surpassed, however modestly. And it's a career first. That's something to be proud of. Plus, it means that any further sales of the book will earn me more money, at least in small amounts. It's still available in every edition except MMPB.
(The check was well-timed, too. Not only is it a bit of extra money at a time when I could use some, but it came within 24 hours of two other unrelated checks, so I only needed to take one trip to the bank to deposit all three.)
Emerald Blair herself is head over heels about the news:
Okay, it's the same pose she's been in since 2012, but she really means it this time!
Book signing: Cincinnati Library Comic Con, May 16
Once again, I'll be signing books at the Cincinnati Library Comic Con on Saturday, May 16. Here's my post on last year's event. I did much better selling Only Superhuman and Spider-Man: Drowned in Thunder there than any of my Star Trek stuff, so this year I think I'm going to focus mainly on my superhero stuff. I still have a good supply of Only Superhuman hardcovers (which moved pretty well last year), and I've got a very few copies remaining of Drowned in Thunder and X-Men: Watchers on the Walls that I've been holding on to "just in case" for long enough that it's probably time I did something with them. (And I'll probably bring a few Trek books too.) So anyone who's in the Cincinnati area and wants signed copies of those books — with a portion of the sale price to be donated to the library, so it's for a good cause — should be at the Main Library on 800 Vine Street in downtown Cincinnati between noon and 5 PM on May 16. Here are directions and parking info.
HUB SPACE is now available!
I'm pleased to announce that Hub Space: Tales from the Greater Galaxy has just gone on sale! That's right, one advantage of e-publishing is that it takes hardly any time at all to get a finished book out to the public. Here's the cover and blurb:
The Hub is the most important place in the galaxy — the single point through which all interstellar travel must pass. Yet no one in the galaxy understands how it works. David LaMacchia, an unimportant man from an unimportant planet called Earth, is determined to change that. He's got no qualifications and no skills. His only friends are a cynical, sharp-tongued space pilot named Nashira Wing and a smugly philanthropic alien named Rynyan, and they both think he's crazy. On top of that, the powers that profit from the Hub might just be trying to kill him. Still… that won't stop David from trying to prove that humanity can make a difference to the greater galaxy.
Now the tales of the Hub from the pages of Analog are collected for the first time in one volume, newly revised and expanded! Includes "The Hub of the Matter," "Home is Where the Hub Is," and "Make Hub, Not War," plus exclusive bonus material!
Considering that the cover is assembled from stock images, I'm quite pleased with how it turned out. It evokes the character dynamic of Vladimir Bondar's art from the Russian edition of "The Hub of the Matter," while coming closer to how I envisioned David and Nashira's appearance. Too bad there wasn't any stock art of a leonine humanoid alien with a feathery mane.
Hub Space is priced at $3.99 US and can be purchased from the following vendors:
Update: Kobo
Dawn probe reaches Ceres orbit!
Or as I like to call it, a Ceres circuit. Ba-dum-bum!
But Ceres-ly, folks…
This morning, at about 1239 GMT (or 7:39 AM where I am), the Dawn space probe successfully entered orbit around the dwarf planet Ceres. The NASA press release is here:
Nasa Spacecraft Becomes First to Orbit a Dwarf Planet
Unfortunately, Dawn is currently on the dark side of Ceres, and is orbiting slowly enough that it won't come around to the light side until mid-April. So the best we get for a photo at the moment is this one from March 1:
This is historic as the first orbit of a dwarf planet (the New Horizons probe later this year will only fly by Pluto, I believe) and the first time a probe has orbited two different bodies. And it's significant to me since it means Dawn has now visited both of the Main Belt protoplanets featured in Only Superhuman, first Vesta back in 2011 and now Ceres. With Vesta, the timing was right to let me incorporate a bit of what Dawn discovered into the novel during the revision process — but with Ceres I just have to hope nothing contradicts what I wrote. My main description of Ceres in the book was as follows:
The sunlit side of the dwarf planet was a dusty gray, except for the bright glints where craters or mining operations had exposed fresh ice beneath.
So far, so good, I'd say, given the other photo we got recently:
Scientists are speculating that those bright spots might be exposed ice, or maybe salt. Although you know what they kinda look like to me?
The on switch.
More news as it develops…
HUB SPACE coming soon!
I've now finished up the manuscript for Hub Space, the revised and expanded collection of my Hub stories from Analog, and turned it in to the publisher. In addition to correcting the errors in the original stories, there's new material within the stories and some bonus items in between, adding about 10 percent to the total length of the work.
Since this is a novella-length e-book exclusive from a small press, apparently the publication process is going to be much faster than I expected. Depending on how long the proofreading takes, it will probably be on sale before the end of February. I'll be sure to post the ordering info as soon as I have it.
Announcing HUB SPACE: The Hub meets the Crossroad
I'm pleased to announce that I've just signed with Crossroad Press to release an e-book compilation of my three "Hub" stories to date, "The Hub of the Matter," "Home is Where the Hub Is," and "Make Hub, Not War." Things are still preliminary, but unless I come up with something better, the title of the collection will be Hub Space: Tales from the Greater Galaxy.
It's always been my hope to do enough Hub stories to collect into a novel-length fixup. But the rise of e-publishing gives me another option that doesn't require waiting so long, since it's opened a market for novella-length publications, a market that didn't really exist in print. The first three stories form a loose arc of their own, so it makes sense to collect them and get them back into print, so that if I sell more stories in the future, it'll be easier for new readers to track down the first three.
Also, this gives me a chance to revise the stories. The first two were published with errors — somehow the final corrections for the first story got lost in the mail, and somehow I got the name of a major character's species wrong in the second. So this is my chance to finally get the corrected versions of the stories into print — another reason I decided to act now rather than waiting years more to accumulate a novel's worth of stories. Not only that, but I'm expanding the stories a bit, adding new material here and there to flesh out the characters and their environment. I went for brevity in the original novelettes, but here I have room to breathe a little more. So readers who own the original Analog issues will still get something extra if they buy the collection.
I don't yet have information on the publication date or the price, but I'll report that as it becomes available. No cover art yet either, but here's the illustration from the Russian reprint of "The Hub of the Matter" again, just because it's cool:

Daniel Radcliffe's lady wants him to clean his act up -- literally!
The "Harry Potter" star told the Daily Mail that girlfriend Rosie Coker has given him "a deadline of two years to be like a fully-functioning human being around the house."
PHOTOS: Harry Potter stars, then and now
What exactly does this mean Radcliffe, 22, needs to do? "I think it means I have to be able to cook for myself better than I can at the moment," he explained. "And it means that I can't leave the house in a state the way I do."
While the actor "didn't promise her anything," he joked, "I have made it my mission to improve myself. There's certainly progress to be made."
When asked whether he'd hired a housekeeper to help him clean in his NYC apartment, he told the Daily Mail his "mum [is] here and she came 'round and tidied everything up for me."
His excuse? He had two performances on Saturday of the Broadway hit "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying," plus a Sunday matinee.
PHOTOS: 10 years of Harry Potter premieres
The star and Coker, a production assistant, met on the "Harry Potter" set over a year ago. "She's busy, I'm busy, but we're making it work and it's good," he told the Daily Mail. "She's helped me grow up, and I love her very much."

Matwyuk guilty of one count of attempted murder
Philip Matwyuk
He faces up to 53 years in prison
By Doug McMurdo
KINGMAN - A jury convicted Philip Steven Matwyuk of 10 of the 12 charges he faced on Friday, including one charge of attempted murder.
Jurors found him guilty of stabbing Michael Hennings on June 2, 2012. Henning nearly died from his wounds. He was not convicted of two other counts of attempted murder for stabbing a former girlfriend and her sister.
Matwyuk faces between seven and 53 years in prison when he's sentenced March 3.
Matwyuk sat with his head bowed while the verdicts were read. Family members sat grim-faced behind him.
Victims Alicia Dena and Kayla Gisewhite sat across the aisle and held hands.
Matwyuk stabbed the two sisters and Hennings multiple times, but the injuries to the women were relatively minor compared to those sustained by Hennings, and perhaps didn't rise in jurors' minds to the level of premeditated attempted murder.
However, jurors agreed that Matwyuk inflicted injuries on three of his victims and threatened to harm a babysitter who was in the home at the time of the attack.
Jurors also convicted him of eight counts of aggravated assault - two of them misdemeanors - and a count of burglary.

Two Black Bears to Compete in Field Hockey World Cup
ORONO, Maine -- It has been announced that current University of Maine field hockey student-athlete Holly Stewart (North Vancouver, British Columbia) and future Black Bear Sydney Veljacic (Coquitlam, British Columbia) have been named to the Under 21 Canadian Junior National Team and will compete in the Women's Junior World Cup in Mönchengladbach, Germany from July 27-August 4.
The team, made up of 18 of the best U21 players in Canada, will feature a pair of Black Bears in Stewart and Veljacic.
As announced on the Field Hockey Canada website, the Junior World Cup is held once every four years and is for nearly every player in the event, the first major international competition of their career. The 16 teams will be split into four pool of four teams each. Following the preliminary round robin, teams will either move into a placement round for the bottom eight finishers or onto a quarterfinal, semi-final and final round. In total, every team is guaranteed six games.
Stewart, who was named America East Co-Rookie of the Year in 2011, is a two-time America East second team selection. The junior forward has totaled 17 goals and 11 assists for 44 points in 36 games as a Black Bear. Following her freshman season, Stewart was honored to the WomensFieldHockey.com All-Rookie team as well as being honored three times as America East Rookie of the Week and once as America East Player of the Week. Last season, Stewart competed for the Canadian Women's Junior National U21 (WJNT) on its trip to Argentina.
Veljacic, who attended Gleneagle Secondary School, will join the Black Bears after playing on the U17 Canadian Junior National Team (2011-present) and the U21 Canadian Junior National Team (2012-present). Veljacic, who was named U16 Field Hockey British Columbia Junior Female Player of the Year in 2011, played in a series with the U17 Junior National team against Team USA (2012) and played a series vs. Mexico with the U21 squad in the summer of 2012. Veljacic, who can play midfield and back, was a member of the British Columbia Provincial teams (2008-12) and a member of the British Columbia Regional team (2007-12). Veljacic helped guide 2012 Team British Columbia to a first place U18 Canadian Junior National Championship while also leading her 2012 AAA BC high school squad to a third place finish at the Provincial Championships and her high school to a District Championship in 2012. In 2010 and 2011, Veljacic led the U16 team to back-to-back Canadian National Championships. She was named tournament XI at the U18 National Championships, her high school leading scorer in 2012 and was a four year honor roll member. Veljacic played club for the Tri City Eagles.
