PAW Users Guide Version 1.0 Users Guide to the Physics Analysis Workstation Introduction: PAW was developed by the CERN laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland for use in particle physics experiments. It is a general-purpose program to fit arbitrary functions to your data via the method of Chi-square minimization (or maximum likelihood), and offers a variety of plotting options. It's main advantage over a program like Microsoft Excel is that it can fit nonlinear functions, and it returns the errors on the fitted parameters. Also, it is distributed free of charge. You can generally abbreviate commands to the smallest unambiguous set of letters (i.e. vector/create → v/cre). Documentation and Help: PAW does much more than is listed in this quick tutorial. If you need advanced fitting or plotting options, consult the online tutorials and full the PAW manual, which can be found from the following web site: http://wwwinfo.cern.ch/asd/paw/ For help with specific commands, you can type "help" while in the program and navigate through the menus. Starting PAW: Try one of the following to start PAW from a PC: 1. Double-click on the PAW icon 2. Open up an MS-DOS window and type "paw". You may first want to change directory to your working area where you keep all your data files. 3. Go to "Start", select "Run…", and type "c:\paw\pawNT.exe" When the program asks for the workstation type, just hit Return. You exit PAW by typing "exit". Data Entry: vector/create To enter a set of data by hand, try something like the following: vec/cre x(5) R 10.0 20.0 30.0 40.0 50.0 vec/cre y(5) R 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 vec/cre dy(5) R 0.1 0.1 0.1 0.1 0.1 In this example, each array is of dimension 5 and contains real numbers (you can also use type "I" for integers. Darin Acosta Page 1 9/4/2001 PAW Users Guide Version 1.0 vector/read To read data from an ASCII file created by another program, try: vec/read u junk.dat (one column of data in the file) vec/read u,v junk.dat (two columns of data in the file) etc. Note that if a vector has not been created, it will be created for you with a size given by the length of the file. Vector Plotting vector/print You can print out to the screen the contents of a vector: vec/print x vector/plot To plot the values of a vector as a histogram: vec/plot x To plot how one vector depends on another: vec/plot y%x graphics/hplot/errors You can plot data with error bars drawn, but you need vectors for x, y and their associated error bars dx, dy (which might be zero). You also have to provide the number of points and the symbol type, and superimpose the plotting on an existing graph. For example: null 0 1000 0 100 (draw graph with x from 0 to 1000, and y from 0 to 100) gr/hp/err x y dx dy 3 24 0.28 S The four numbers correspond to 3 data points, symbol type 24 (see below), and symbol size 0.28. Some symbol types: 20 (solid circle), 21 (solid square), 22 (solid triangle), 24 (empty circle), 25 (empty square), 26 (empty triangle Parameter Estimation: vector/fit You can fit a variety of functions to your vector data using the method of Chi-square minimization (or maximum likelihood) to estimate parameters in the theory you are testing. It is assumed that your measured quantity is y, with uncertainty dy, and that it depends on variable x. Polynomials Zeroth order polynomial (constant): vec/fit x y dy p0 First order polynomial: vec/fit x y dy p1 Second order polynomial: vec/fit x y dy p2 etc. Notice that a plot of the fitted line is shown through your data, and that the resulting reduced Chi-square is listed in the text window. Moreover, the errors on the fitted parameters are Darin Acosta Page 2 9/4/2001 PAW Users Guide Version 1.0 reported. These uncertainties are determined by allowing the Chi-square to increase by 1. They only make sense if your reported Chi-square is reasonable for the number of degrees of freedom. Exponential, Gaussian: In addition to "Pn" for polynomials, you can also fit an exponential or Gaussian: E : to fit Func=exp(par(1)+par(2)*x) G : to fit Func=par(1)*exp(-0.5*((x-par(2))/par(3))**2) For example: vec/fit x y dy E User Defined Function: You can also fit a function of your own design. You need to write your function in the Fortran programming language. The details can be found by typing "help histogram/fit". Fitting combinations of functions is described later under histogram fitting. Histogram Creation and Filling: histogram/create/1dhisto To book a one-dimensional histogram, you have to give it a numerical label, title, number of bins, and a range. For example: 1d 10 'Energy (keV)' 50 0.0 1000.0 histogram/create/2dhisto You can also book a two-dimensional histogram, where you list the number of bins and range for the x-axis first, followed by the y-axis: 2d 20 'Time vs. Energy' 50 0.0 1000.0 50 0.0 5.0e-9 vector/hfill If you have an array of data stored in a vector that you would like to make a histogram out of, use the following: vec/hfill y 10 The first argument is the vector name, the second is the numerical label of the booked histogram. This will analyze the data and fill the histogram for you. histogram/put_vector/contents Alternatively, your data may already be in a histogram format. For example, you may have dumped the contents of a multi-channel analyzer to a file containing a single column of values representing the contents of each channel. After reading this file into a vector, you can create and fill a histogram with the same number of bins as the multi-channel analyzer. The steps would be something like: vec/read x muon1.dat 1d 99 'Time (us)' 10000 0. 312.5 hi/put_vec/cont 99 x Darin Acosta Page 3 9/4/2001 PAW Users Guide Version 1.0 Notice that you can conveniently change the units of the x axis to something useful, like microseconds or keV rather than just counts. It is only important that the number of bins be set correctly. Histogram Plotting: histogram/plot To plot a histogram, use: hi/pl 10 where "10" is the numerical label of the histogram. You can superimpose one histogram over another by adding the option "S" after the label. You can switch the line type between solid, dashed, and dotted by: set dmod 1 (solid line) set dmod 2 (dashed line) set dmod 3 (dotted line) You also set fill style of the histogram, and the color. See the manual for more details. Histogram Fitting: The same functions available to vector/fit are also available to histogram/fit. For example: hi/fit 10 E (exponential) hi/fit 10 G (Gaussian) The contents of each bin of the histogram are assumed to obey Poisson statistics, where the variance is equal to the mean. Thus, the uncertainty of the contents of each bin is taken to be the square root of the number of bin entries. This uncertainty is used for the Chi-square minimization procedure. Be aware that this method breaks down when the bin has only one or zero entries. PAW will ignore bins with zero entries. Generally, one should use the method of maximum likelihood for low statistics. You can also fit combinations of functions to a histogram. For example, to fit an exponential on top of a flat background, try the following: hi/fit 10 E+P0 ! 3 par To fit a Gaussian signal on top of a sloping background, try: hi/fit 10 G+P1 ! 5 par The exclamation point after the combination of functions tells PAW to do a Chi-Square minimization. If you type 'L' instead, it will perform a maximum likelihood fit (good for low statistics bins). The next argument is the number of parameters to fit (depends on the function) and the last parameter is the parameter array. You may have to first initialize this array (using "vector/create par …" for example) with reasonable starting values to get the fit to converge. You also can fit multiple Gaussians (G+G), multiple exponentials (E+E), or even products of functions (p2*G). You can fit your own user-defined function as well. The details can be found by typing "help histogram/fit". Darin Acosta Page 4 9/4/2001 PAW Users Guide Version 1.0 To fit over a range of bins in your histogram, rather than the full range, you have to specify the range of bin numbers. For example, if your histogram has 100 bins, and you want to fit the central half of the histogram, use something like the following: hi/fit 10(25:75) G Miscellaneous Plotting Commands: For logarithmic scales: opt liny and opt linx for the y and x axes. For linear scales: opt liny and opt linx for the y and x axes. For gridlines: opt grid For no grid: opt ngri For multiple plots on the same page use the "zone" command, where you specify how many columns and rows. For example, zone 2 3 gives you two columns by 3 rows for a total of 6 plots on one page. To return to just 1 per page: zone 1 1 Darin Acosta Page 5 9/4/2001 PAW Users Guide Version 1.0 Working with Ntuples Ntuples are basically binary files used to store data. The file format was invented at CERN years ago, and is known as Zebra. Ntuples are generally stored in random access Zebra files. Data produced from Geant3 are normally stored in sequential Zebra files. A user generally stores a subset of all possible experimental data useful for analysis in an Ntuple, an approach sometimes referred to as creating a Data Summary Tape (DST). Several Ntuples and histograms can be stored in one Zebra file. It should be noted that two types of Ntuples can be made: "row-wise" and "column-wise". The differences will be made clear below. Opening the file: histogram/file You open an ntuple file within PAW by specifying a name (or logical unit number) and the file to open: hi/fil 70 csc_track1.hbook hi/fil 71 csc_track2.hbook To view any subdirectories within a file, type: ldir To change to one of the subdirectories, try something like: cd mydirectory To set the default directory to the first file given in the example above, type: cd //lun70 If you have several files with identical format ntuples, you can chain them together: nt/chain lun72 csc_track1.hbook csc_track2.hbook Then type: cd //lun72 If you would rather merge all the files into one file: nt/hmerge csc_merge.hbook csc_track1.hbook csc_track2.hbook ntuple/list, ntuple/print, and ntuple/scan To see what ntuples exist in the current file and subdirectory, type: nt/list You generally get a list of i.d. numbers labeling all ntuples and histograms stored in the file. To see what variables are attached to any particular ntuple, type: nt/print 10 The number "10" should be replaced with whatever numerical i.d. labels your ntuple. If you want to print to the screen some of the variables in your ntuple, use the format: nt/sc 10 ! ! ! ! 2 x y Here we have specified to list two variables called "x" and "y". You can apply some selection as well, replacing the first "!" with your expression: nt/sc 10 y>20 ! ! ! 2 x y Darin Acosta Page 6 9/4/2001 PAW Users Guide Version 1.0 ntuple/plot To plot one of the variables in the ntuple, use: nt/pl 10.x where "x" is the variable you want to see plotted from ntuple 10. PAW will create a histogram automatically for you (with i.d. 1000000), and set the range and binning as well. If you want to make a 2-D scatter plot of "y" vs. "x", the syntax is: nt/pl 10.y%x You can also plot any Fortran-style arithmetic expression of the variables: nt/pl 10.sqrt(x**2+y**2) If you want to fill a histogram you booked already (assume it has id 90), rather than have PAW choose automatically, use: nt/pl 10.x ! –90 If you want to apply selection cuts before filling your histogram, replace the "!" with the Fortran- style selection: nt/pl 10.x y>10.and.abs(z)<20 -90 Indexed variables As mentioned at the beginning of this section, there are two types of Ntuples. Column-wise ntuples allow you to store and access arrays of data rather than creating a variable name for each array element as in a row-wise ntuple. If you want to access an element of an array, you need to know what the indexing variable is: nt/pl 10.ptvalue(1) ntrack>0 –80 Here "ntrack" is the indexing variable. We have to require the existence of at least one track in order to make the plot, otherwise we would get an access violation. The above will plot the first value in the ptvalue array for all events. If you want to plot all array entries for all events, you could just do: nt/pl 10.ptvalue without the parentheses. Fortran selection functions (COMIS functions): PAW allows you to execute Fortran code in place of the selection cuts and plotting variables. These "COMIS" functions are interpreted by PAW rather than compiled like normal Fortran. You have access to all the utility functions stored in the CERNLIB libraries as well. If you want to be able to access variables within your ntuple, you need to define the Fortran common blocks for them. The way to do that is to execute the following command: nt/uwfunc 10 junk.f This command will create a file called junk.f that has all the variables in ntuple 10 defined. Notice that the created Fortran function must have the same name as the file. You can now edit this file and put whatever selection, loops, and analysis that you want. To use it as a selection function, try: nt/pl 10.x junk.f>0 To plot the output of your function, type: nt/pl 10.junk.f Darin Acosta Page 7 9/4/2001 PAW Users Guide Version 1.0 If your function takes one or more arguments, you define them in your Fortran file and call it from PAW as in: nt/pl 10.x dphi.f(1,2)>10 If your Fortran file is an analysis program that books and fills several histograms, you may not want any particular output to go to the screen. Rather, the results are stored into histograms by the analysis program. You can then use the ntuple/loop command: nt/loop 10 myprogram.f Macros In addition to Fortran files, PAW has a scripting language that allows you to execute interactive commands listed in a file. For example, after your PAW session, all the commands you typed are stored in the file last.kumac. If you would like to execute these commands in a later session, you can edit the file (and rename it so that it won't be overridden!) and type: exec junk.kumac or whatever your file is called. Usually you can omit the "exec" command as well and just type "junk". Printing The simplest way to capture a plot for printing or insertion into a document may be to capture the screen or window and paste in the picture. However, two useful macros have been provided to you to save your plots or print them. They are called saveit.kumac and plotit.kumac, and should be defined in your current PAW path (c:\paw on a PC, or ~/paw on Unix). If you are running PAW under Unix, you can type: plotit and the current display should be sent to the default Postscript printer. Keep in mind that the default printer must be a Postscript printer. If not, you will get lots of unintelligible text. The current script does not work on a PC yet. If you only want to save the output to a postscript file, type: saveit The output will be stored in a file called plot.ps. Darin Acosta Page 8 9/4/2001

One of the more misunderstood areas of Cognos Security is how object permissions are set and how they need to be managed within Cognos. In this blog article we're going to cover both of these and also focus on how to resurrect a Content Store that may be seemingly unrecoverable once object permissions have been messed up.

Cognos 10 was introduced at Insight 2010 at Las Vegas. At the time it was a big deal. Its goal was to bring together social collaboration and business analytics on a single platform and simplify the offering by integrating many of the individual products that were part of the Cognos legacy. By most accounts it has done this very well and in the four years since then IBM has added a number of new features and enhancements. These are almost too numerous to mention so we'll just list the major themes:

Often frustrated by their inability to get the information they need, Cognos users are looking to administrators for help in finding the right report without having to do a slow search through existing reports that may or may not meet their needs. This is especially true in larger organizations and those where Cognos BI has been in use for a while. Many of these rely on standardized reports and have been reluctant to give users the ability to create their own reports or queries.

Cognos audit data tables remain essentially unchanged since the release of Cognos 8.4 a few years ago so any extension of value from the audit data has to come from using what's already there more creatively. At Envisn we've found some ways to do this by using the Cognos Content Store as a reference data source for the audit data. In this blog we will review three use cases where this can be done to provide greater insight into your Cognos environment:

The biggest challenge faced by Cognos administrators in any Cognos BI environment is having the tools and information needed to manage it. A key part of this needed information is a complete picture of usage and overall utilization. Creating this can be a challenge but once it's done the payoff can be huge. In this blog we will focus on going beyond the basics and using the Cognos audit data in some creative ways.

In recent blogs we focused on the Cognos audit tables and the audit extensions. We made the point in one of these articles that working with the Cognos audit data was important in understanding the data itself and how it could be used. So we thought it might be appropriate to pass on some tips of things we learned along the way that may help you maximize the value in creating a set of auditing tools for Cognos BI.

Released with the introduction of Cognos 10.1, IBM Cognos 10 Audit Extension was designed to fill in the cracks of audit coverage beyond the standard audit table coverage. Its purpose is to provide coverage of Cognos auditing into areas that customers have been asking for such as user data and capability assignments. Users have had difficulty complying with their licensing limits if they cannot track these on a day to day basis.

The title of this article has to be taken in the context of how Cognos administrators would like to use Cognos audit data. Many would like to be able to use the activity data in multiple ways to better manage their environment and know what's of value to their users as measured by actual usage. So our focus here is on understanding what's available out of the box and as compared to the ultimate vision of what may be possible.

Introduced in 1990, Cognos PowerPlay set a new standard in terms of both ease of use and power in decision support technology. It quickly became the leading product in the OLAP market and helped make Cognos a leader in solutions that empower the user. Analysts credit PowerPlay and tools like it as having significantly broadened the market by bringing decision support tools into all levels of the organization. Users finally had the ability to align data with the questions they needed answers to.

American Masters
- Watch Complete Episodes:
- at video.kqed.org
An ongoing series of award-winning primetime specials examining the lives, works, and creative processes of our most outstanding cultural artists. Created in 1984, the series is both a celebration and an exploration of creativity in America, documenting the role important individuals, groups, and movements have played in the formation of our cultural identity.
Upcoming Broadcasts:
Marilyn Monroe: Still Life (#1904L) Duration: 56:46 STEREO TVPG-S
There are the movie roles, but it is the still images - the iconic face, expressions and poses - that make up our collective memory of Marilyn. She was, arguably, the most photographed person ever. Her relationship with the camera produced an enduring body of work that still dazzles and moves us, evoking both desire and pathos. These photographs are an ageless testament to her grace, guts and sexiness - her humor and vulnerability. She understood their power, and she exploited it. She created, and curated, her own image - lips puckered to the lens, inviting us to kiss her back. She would be 80 now. She died more than 40 years ago. We look back through Norman Mailer, Gloria Steinem and Hugh Heffner, as Marilyn persists in her image.
Carol Burnett: A Woman of Character (#2008) Duration: 1:26:46 STEREO TVPG
America in the 1960s and 70s was in turmoil. The civil rights struggle, the war in Vietnam and the sexual revolution defined a nation in conflict. But at 10 o'clock every Saturday night, in dorms and dens, in living rooms and bedrooms across the country, Americans watched "The Carol Burnett Show." For 11 years, the wacky performer yelled like Tarzan and won -- and sometimes broke -- our hearts with her edgy, always sympathetic, characters. She could fall down a flight of stairs or hold her own in a duet with Julie Andrews. Yet, as with so many brilliant comedians, hers was a difficult childhood. A glimpse of something deeper and darker began to emerge in the dramatic career that followed her TV variety show.
Harper Lee: American Masters (#2504) Duration: 1:26:46 STEREO TVPG-L (Secondary audio: none)
Reading "To Kill a Mockingbird" has been a national pastime for five decades - it is still selling nearly a million copies a year, its classic popularity and power are a common reference. And the courtroom image of Gregory Peck, as the passionate Atticus Finch, gave us an enduring picture for the novel's message. Behind it all was a young Southern girl named Nelle Harper Lee, who once said she wanted to be Alabama's Jane Austen.
This program explores her life and unravels its mysteries, particularly why she never published again. Illuminated with family photos, revealing personal letters and an exclusive interview with her sister, Alice Finch Lee (100 years old), the film is steeped in the texture of the novel's Deep South and the social changes it inspired. Tom Brokaw, Rosanne Cash, Anna Quindlen, Scott Turow, Oprah Winfrey and Andrew Young reflect on how "Mockingbird" shaped their lives.

42 year old man | Henderson, NV, USA | Seeking women 30-39 within 100 miles
Active within 5 days
Been lots of places, done lots of things. Now...
Been lots of places, done lots of things. Now I'm here and looking for someone to do things with. Me....42 years old, 6'0" 165. Brown/Green, thin athletic build. Never married, no kids, all my teeth, never abducted by aliens. When I was a kid, I asked Santa for a giant pile of dirt in my back yard and he brought it. I love hot weather and hate cold weather. When I was in high school I wanted to be a journalist, and still think about it sometimes. My dad is a retired coach after 40 years, so I have always played sports. I think most politicians are in it for the wrong reasons, and lately I question their ability to accomplish anything of importance. I think Roger Goodell is the worst thing that has ever happened to the NFL. I think Barry Bonds cheated and Bud Selig didn't have the backbone to do anything about it. I believe that Elvis and Tupac are both dead. I was once in a TV commercial with Terry Bradshaw, and he is actually a very intelligent guy. I think it would be great if all adults could be as genuine and honest as little kids. I want to buy a boat. Tequila doesn't like me. I would rather regret something I did than something I didn't do. I know the difference between your and you're. My favorite movie is Lonesome Dove, but The Godfather is a close second. If you have never been to Jazz Fest in New Orleans, you are missing out. I'm nice to everybody I meet. My family is the greatest. I think finding the right girl would be awesome. Dogs and horses are the best pets. And, I once drank 45 year-old scotch with the Justices of the Honduran Supreme Court. If you enjoy loud dance clubs where you can't hear each other talk and fake people try to impress each other, you will probably find me terribly boring. But, if you like going to hole in the wall places and getting to know each other as well as interesting characters all around us, then we would have a great time. I am not looking for a perfect woman. Perfect people are no fun. I want a girl who can wear a black dress to a formal event one night, and drink a beer and tell dirty jokes the next night. Someone with personality who likes out of the way places and taking day trips to discover the world around us. Is that you?
Baseball, Basketball, Billiards / Pool, Bowling, Cycling, Football, Golf, Running, Skiing
I exercise 1-2 times per week.
I like Dogs, Horses
I'm usually up for anything. I like Green Valley Ranch and Town Square. The strip is overrated but fun sometimes. I like out of the way restaurants. Best vacations are sunny places: Hawaii, Cancun and Honduras. I have always enjoyed trips to Florida.
I grew up in Louisiana, so I like a lot of types of foods and I *love* live music. I enjoy what I consider to be "classic" comedy movies...The Blues Brothers, The Jerk, Caddyshack, etc.
I have always played sports, and still enjoy them. I used to play in a softball league with friends, but we played for fun, not to win. Also enjoy football, basketball, biking, traveling, going to a movie, or staying home with the right person.
The Search for God and Guinness. It's about the guy who founded the Guinness Brewery in Dublin and how he changed Ireland. Radical Honesty. It's a little strange, but interesting.

Good practice suit, but after only 2 uses, it is already starting to show signs of wear. A good price, but would consider investing a bit more money to get something of better quality.

We ordered a 28Y navy blue for my 9 year old. He weighs 61 lbs and wears a slim boys size 10 pants. It is perfect and has a little bit of grow room. The tie at the waist is great for him. He has worn them for swim meets and to a swim spot on the parkway. He can wear them hiking comfortably under his clothes because the seams are sewn so well.
My 5yo likes them . Will definitely be good next year also.

BBQ Basics You've Gotta Know
We're all about collections over at Provisions — and we don't want you to miss out on the fun.
Today: It's time for ribs. And burgers. And steak. We're introducing our BBQ collection!
Barbecue is a hotly contested topic. There's a lot of variety in technique: wood choice, cooking time, marinade, spice rub, sauce, and more — and every barbecue cook has his or her own opinion about what makes the best.
We won't weigh in on a definitive favorite (when it comes to ribs, we're equal-opportunity eaters), but we do want to lay out some of the basic elements you should know before firing up the grill.
Here's our extra-quick primer on the nitty gritty of barbecue:
Rubs: A good rub is a blend of assertive spices and herbs — work it into your meat up to 24 hours before cooking, then give it another coat just before you start to grill. Consider trying something new — this Moroccan blend has ginger, cilantro, and fennel — to keep things interesting.
Sauces: The star of any barbecue, your sauce should be part sweet, part salty, and a little acidic. Depending on where you're from, you might prefer a sauce that's vinegar-based, or tomato-heavy, or a version made with mayonnaise. Go with what you like, but make sure it has enough heat to stand up to the sugar. If you like a lot of spice, try this Jamaican jerk sauce made with Scotch Bonnet peppers (one of the world's hottest).

"The Long Kiss Goodnight" is a cinematic comic book, a series of biff!-BAM!-whack! action episodes, all more or less impossible, surrounding the larger-than-life characters. I liked it in the same way I might like an arcade game: It holds your attention until you run out of quarters, and then you wander away without giving it another thought.
Geena Davis, a good sport if ever there was one, stars as a woman who thinks she's a soccer mom named Samantha when actually she's a trained government assassin named Charly. She has forgotten her real identity because of "what the doctors call focal retrograde amnesia." She leads a quiet life in a small town, even playing Mrs. Santa in the Christmas parade, until a TV broadcast and a violent car wreck begin to bring back her past.
Certainly it's a clue to her past life when she kills a deer by breaking its neck with her bare hands. And how about the kitchen scene when Samantha chops a carrot as if she'd never seen a knife before, and suddenly Charly takes over like a human Veg-O-Matic, pulverizing vegetables and then for her encore throwing a tomato in the air and skewering it to the wall with a deftly-thrown knife. "Chefs do that," she explains to her stunned daughter and boyfriend.
She hires a fly-by-night private eye (Samuel L. Jackson) to track down her past, and he turns up clues that lead to a full-scale war with the U.S. intelligence establishment. Without giving away too much of the plot (as if, heh, heh, there was much of a plot), I'll say that bad guys think she was dead and now want to kill her, and she has to defend herself while having flashbacks to violent episodes in her past life.
The movie is put together like a Top 40 radio station, in which you get 10 minutes of hits and then have to listen to somebody talking for 90 seconds. The dialogue serves only to separate and set up the action scenes. Sooner or later they're actually going to advertise one of these movies with the line, "less talk and more action!" It's the kind of film where when the mother undergoes a personality change and decides she does love her little daughter after all, she shouts that information--"I LOVE HER!"--over the noise of battle. Leave out those three words, and the movie's central human dilemma would be misplaced.
Geena Davis has gone on the talk shows to explain that she personally performed all, or most, or many, of her stunts in the movie. For example, that's really her being blown out of a window and flying through the air. My message is: Geena, give yourself a break. I looked really closely as you were blown out the window, and it all happened so fast that I couldn't even be sure it was you--so why not let a stunt woman do it? That's what they're paid for.
The explosion scene allowed me to enjoy one more example of the latest way in which action movies suspend the laws of physics. Davis and Jackson actually outrun a flaming fireball that chases them down a corridor. I've seen that done in a lot of movies lately, and I've got news for them: It can't be done. (It also cannot be done on a motorcycle, although Keanu Reeves does it in "Chain Reaction," or in the Chunnel, although Tom Cruise does it in "Mission: Impossible.") The movie is Hitchcockian in its use of famous locations. The climax involves a truck bomb that is supposed to blow up the bridge at Niagara Falls, and at one point Samantha/Charly actually uses a dead body as a counterweight to lift her into the sky so she can shoot it out with a helicopter under the "Welcome to Canada" arch. Yep. And wouldn't you know that when the truck explodes, Jackson and Davis get to outrun another fireball, this time in a car, although that can't be done, either.Anyway, Geena Davis and Samuel L. Jackson prove they're game in this movie, as they trade quips in the breaks between special effects sequences. And the action is what we expect: sensational, violent and loud. The target audience is apparently 14-year-old boys and those who have not forgotten how to think like 14-year-old boys, a group that apparently includes millions of filmgoers who like to see stuff blowed up real good. I admired it as an example of craftsmanship, but what a lot of time and money to spend on something of no real substance.

I teach a daily social skills group to teenagers with severe communication challenges. I am autistic myself. I find this ironic at times. However, what I find most striking is the unwillingness of my students, on and off the spectrum, to identify negative emotions. I have come to believe it is the way that we teach this skill that is flawed, not our students' ability to acquire the concepts.
( Read more...Collapse )
First, I need to meet with the students' educational team. I need to explain to them how to model using this instructional strategy and how to use it directly with students. I need to get their buy-in for prioritizing learning over decorum, for prioritizing understanding over control. These are not the priorities we are used to. We work in an environment where the administration defines how good a day we had in my classroom by how often they did or did not hear us call for behavior support. However, they are the priorities my students need in ordered to be successful. These are the building blocks of self-monitoring, self-control, and self-advocacy; there are no more important, or more fundamental skills for my students to learn.
I am autistic: I have difficulty recognizing other's perspectives. It is hard for me to understand why they don't see things the same way I do; after all, it's obvious to me. When I stop and reflect, however, I realize that I, myself, have used multiple perspectives over my lifetime to understand myself and the world around me. (a description of that might make for an interesting post, but not this one.) If one person can have multiple perspectives over time, doesn't it stand to reason that different people can have multiple perspectives at the same time?
The metaphors I have used for self-understanding have changed drastically over my lifetime as I have grown, learned more about myself and explored different interests that resonated with me. When I look at the deeper meaning of each metaphor, I realize they are describing the same thing over and over. Different perspectives are like different metaphors: you have to look to the meaning to find where they are different and where they are the same. The language itself will not tell you.
It all comes back to language. I don't use it the same way as a neurotypical would. Autism is, in large part, a difference in communication, and I'm not as good at translating as one would expect from someone who's lived most of her life pretending to be neurotypical. I never paid enough attention to others' perspectives to bother to learn. Seeing a different perspective, for me, requires a translation: a reapplication of metaphors. I can't easily see how the metaphors line up, so I take them at face value and only see the difference.
Instead of putting myself in someone else's shoes, I need to put myself in their language. I need to apply their metaphors to my understanding to really know where they line up and where they diverge. Then, the challenging part, I need to explain it to them using their language, their metaphors, so they can understand me. Translation itself won't bridge the communication gap. The gap of values is so much more than a metaphor translation. The only way to do that is through education: education presented in language the student can understand. They only way I can teach people to see and value my perspective is by understanding and explaining it using theirs.
I am not here to tell you that it never sucks to have Aspergers. Sometimes it does. I know, I've been bulled most of my life because of it. I won't say I wouldn't prefer to be able to communicate the same way as my coworkers, because if I could it would certainly make my working life a whole lot easier. However, Aspergers is an intrinsic part of who I am and I have no desire to change it.
I value direct communication. Missing all the social baggage associated with nonverbal cues means I never had to deal with the awkwardness of the high school social scene, or worse, dating. I found someone who was of like mind, and we simply skipped that step.
Combine my social oblivion with my sensory issues around taste and smell and I never had any interest in smoking or drinking, but I never felt any peer pressure to engage in those behaviors either, even when I was around people who wanted to pressure me. Tactile defensiveness means I'm incredibly picky about the feel of the clothes I wear, but deficits in pragmatic language mean I'm not influenced by any need to look "trendy" so I wear what I want. Occasionally, I even get compliments on my outfit, which never fail to confuse me.
Everyone has different strengths and weaknesses. You will find yours. I won't tell you it is going to be easy: the world was built for neurotypicals and we are not. However, it's well worth the effort. Besides, confusing the NTs can be fun. :)
But Paquette's father, Alfred Paquette, who attended her arraignment, defended her, telling reporters afterward that she was overwhelmed with the challenges of being a single mother and having a special needs child."For her to lock him in his room isn't unusual,'' Richard Paquette said in the courthouse hallway yesterday. "People lock their kids in their rooms all the time.''

Is it merely coincidental that the donation-after-cardiac-death donors are almost always, if not always, severely cognitively impaired or labelled as severely cognitively impaired? Has anyone ever transplanted the heart of donation-after-cardiac-death donor who is not severely cognitively impaired into a recipient who is severely cognitively impaired? If so, I would be delighted to hear about it.Many years ago, in defending the hospitals transplant of a healthy baboon's heart into a human child, David Larson, co-director of the Center for Christian Ethics at Loma Linda University, has quoted as saying, If a primate's capability was higher than a human's—say a severely mentally handicapped child's—I think it would be appropriate to support the opposite approach . . . a transplant from a [severely mentally handicapped] child to save the life of a healthy baboon.So, perhaps the real issue is not whether the donor is already dead or is killed in the process. The real issue is whether anyone cares if he or she is killed, and if the donor has or is thought to have a severe cognitive impairment, no one seems to care very much about the details. In my view, this is the heart of the matter.

The Mentawaiis Posted on January 11, 2011 by SurfGirl A surfer's ultimate dream, the Mentawaiis pump from March till October. There are shed-loads of world class waves up here, from those you see in the mags like Lance's Right (HT's) and left, Macaroni's and Rifles, to less gnarly fun spots like Pussies and Burgers. Several surf camps have sprung up, and of course there are the boat charters. There is nothing like boat trip! Charters range from run-down fishing boats to high-end luxury motor yachts. Trips tend to run for 10-12 days, and a rep will meet you at the airport, take you to your boat. All you have to do is surf, fish and swim.

Local and federal law enforcement officers served search warrants on Colwyn Borough Hall and the police department this morning as part of an investigation into Rochelle Bilal, a Philadelphia cop and president of the Guardian Civic League who has been moonlighting as a public-safety director with Colwyn, according to the Daily News' William Bender, who was at the scene.
In April, Bender and Daily News writers Dana DiFilippo and Barbara Laker reported on Bilal's side gig, which is a violation of city police rules. Commissioner Charles Ramsey said he'd order an Internal Affairs investigation into Bilal after he was informed of her second job.
Looks like he wasn't kidding.
Bill said law enforcement officers with the Delaware County District Attorney's Criminal Investigation Division, Philadelphia police and the FBI's Regional Computer Forensics Laboratory raided borough hall and the police department this morning.

Help Sterilize and Vaccinate Homeless Cats
Roll over image to zoom in
Help manage the homeless cat population humanely.
It is estimated that tens of millions of cats live on the streets of the United States. Sadly, many communities attempt to control their numbers through lethal methods such as catch and kill. Such methods are not only horribly cruel, they are also ineffective and costly. There is a better way.
Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is the humane alternative to euthanasia for managing and reducing homeless cat populations through sterilization. TNR begins with the trapping of cats using humane cage traps. The cats are then taken (in the trap) to be sterilized and vaccinated against rabies, distemper, and other diseases. Finally, the cats are "ear tipped" so they can be easily identified as sterilized. Following surgery, the cat is returned to the trap and allowed to recover, then released to the site of capture to live out its natural life while being cared for by community volunteers.
FixNation is the only clinic in the United States completely dedicated to Trap-Neuter-Return. All services for stray cats are free, including volunteer trapper training, trap rental, and all feline medical care. FixNation and its programs have sterilized more than 100,000 cats.
FixNation's philosophy is that we have just one day—one chance—to love and care for the cats that come through our doors. We treat these cats as if they were our own.

My show at Rachel Uffner Gallery has opened. I just uploaded some images in the Projects section under titles: Which Shifts Out From Under You, Flutter, Terra Incognita, Found Wanting, and Run Aground. The show is up till 24 June and this Sunday, the gallery will be open late to coincide with the Frieze Downtown night on Lower East Side. I'll be hanging out at the gallery in the afternoon and evening...
My show now has a title, an image, and a press release.
I'm in NYC and working hard on my show which opens April 29 at Rachel Uffner Gallery. The show is called Unleveling and will comprise several new bodies of work – works on paper, sculptures and a spatial installation. More info and images shortly!
Got some beautifully weathered sugar pine yesterday for my floor installation, which will consist of a number of low-to-the-ground "platforms" without tops – sort of incomplete platform structures which you cannot step onto, but have to step into in order to negotiate your way through space.
Can't wait for the installation to start (next Wednesday) so that I can start playing with it in the actual space!
My project This Here and That There (Berlin) is being shown as an installation in Social Contract – this year's edition of Artefact festival at STUK Kunstencentrum in Leuven. The program looks really great – exhibitions, performances, talks, cooking projects, music.
Opens Tuesday, 14 February at STUK arts centre:
--> 17h00: opening of the exhibition and the e-flux Time/Bank
--> 19h30: opening reception at STUKcafé
Artefact runs 14-23 February. For more details and the full program, go here and here.
I will be there for the opening - come and say hi!

Comic Vine sits down with DC's Senior Story Editor
Some of the most important names in comics are not on the cover, but can be found in the interior credits. Such is the case with Ian Sattler who, next to Dan Didio, is probably one of the most important people working at DC. It was certainly a pleasure for me to sit down and talk to Ian and learn exactly what it means to be a "Senior Story Editor" at a major comic book company.

Company creates durable bats
at indeed lightens it but also results in a bat that is somewhat more brittle and is apt to splinter and "helicopter away." Moreover, there are some 30 bat companies vying with Louisville Slugger for a share of what Dill estimates to be a $300 million industry "just for wood," which would appear to open the door to a variation in quality. Dill says the timing of the Radial Bat could not be better. Why? "Because of the safety issue and the growing feeling out there that metal bats have degraded the game," says Dill, who produces both ash and maple bats in a factory with a 10-person staff. "And I am not sure if a better idea for a baseball bat will come along in the next 50 years." But as convinced of that as he is himself, Dill has yet to bring MLB onboard. While the Radial Bat has passed the NCAA "Ball Exit Speed Ratio" Performance Test, which is to say that it has been certified for use in NCAA games, Dill says that his presentation before MLB and at the players association was greeted with skepticism. "They were dismissive," says Dill, who explains that the executives he met with said it was "the same as every other composite bat" and that "it will never be approved." Undeterred, Dill says he wants to get the bat into the hands of some up-and-coming players with the hope that they develop an affinity for it. He is also trying to get it in the hands of big-league batting coaches for use in indoor batting cages (only MLB-approved equipment is allowed on the field on game day). While Thompson says that he had not heard of Radial Bats (nor had Orioles batting coach Terry Crowley), Frank Coppenbarger, the Phillies' director of team travel and clubhouse services, said he had "vaguely heard of it" and added that he always recommends someone with an innovation to try to build a client base in the minor leagues. Dill says he understands the position MLB is in. "The problem is that we have a century worth of records that have been established with bats that have been carved from a single piece of wood," says Dill, who earned his living as a management consultant. "So to accommodate the Radial Bat, they would have to rewrite the rules in such a way that it would not let in all kinds of other stuff. I empathize with that challenge, but I also know that our bat performs exactly the same as a single piece of wood." The NCAA found exactly that when it concluded that the Radial Bat behaved with the acceptable parameters for "liveliness." In other words, it did not produce the "trampoline effect" commonly associated with metal bats and which has proved to be so dangerous to players. While 95 percent of amateur players still use metal bats (or variations composed of other alloys), Dill hopes that he can get that to below 50 percent within five years, given that the $100 to $150 cost of the Radial Bat is offset by a longer life cycle and the potential for fewer injuries. Given that it is such a huge transition for high school and college players to switch from metal bats to wooden ones, and even creates certain issues in evaluating them during the scouting process, Dill is so optimistic that the Radial Bat will become a fixture in the bat racks of America that he has ramped up production from 20,000 bats to 60,000 this year alone. Says Dill: "We are out there now but we plan to even be a bigger player." Whatever happens to the Radial Bat, it has achieved one thing: It has married the two passions that have soared inside of Dill since childhood: woodworking and baseball. He was only 15 years old when received his first lathe, and he was a very fine baseball player in high school. "No one had a better arm," says Dill, who remembers that his career came to a halt at the University of Massachusetts as a walk-on. In an intrasquad game one day, he found himself facing Mike Flanagan, who would win a Cy Young Award for the Orioles. Flanagan fell behind in the count 3-0, but then threw three curveballs that were so dazzling that, well … just say that Dill was in no danger of breaking his bat. Or even using it.
