Magmanus in Free Cirque Performances in Hufnagle Park
Magmanus will bring their family-friendly circus and improvisational skills to two interactive performances in Hufnagle Park on June 25.
Diego Chiri '12 first set foot in the United States in 2006. His English was limited at best, so he spent his first two years at the Community College of Philadelphia improving his second-language skills. There he learned about Bucknell's Community College Scholars program (BCCS).
In 2008, Chiri attended the BCCS summer session. "An entire semester was squeezed into six weeks," he says. "It was a challenge, but the opportunity was too great to let it go."
Chiri transferred to Bucknell in fall 2009. In his native Peru, Chiri had daydreamed about pursuing his passion for being a filmmaker and a theater director. Bucknell has fed and nurtured this passion. He will graduate with a double major in theater and English with a concentration in film and media studies.
Last fall, the Department of Theatre and Dance presented "Shepardfest," 11 of Sam Shepard's short plays, directed by Professor Gary Grant. Chiri's knowledge of film and theater allowed him to capture them all in a unique way. "Theater and film are two different art forms," he says. "As playwright Edward Albee explains, 'Theater is in the present and film is in the past.' The 'Shepardfest' videos are an example of how theater and film can coexist. It was a fascinating experience."
An even more rewarding experience was spending time with Albee, the 2010 Janet Weis Fellow in Contemporary Letters. "He is controversial because of his strong opinions," says Chiri. "Meeting him has been the best academic experience I have had at Bucknell." Chiri made his directorial debut during Family Weekend with Albee's "The Zoo Story." He is working on a documentary on devised theater, a newly developed theater technique employed by the students who participated in this year's Edinburgh Festival Fringe in Scotland.
"Bucknell has given me the opportunity for a new future. I see the world in a new way," says Chiri. "I am honored and grateful to have been a Community College Scholar. Bucknell has opened the doors to the world to me. Thank you, Bucknell."

JERUSALEM, Israel - A 14-member task force of Israeli policemen leaves for Haiti Saturday evening to join multinational forces working under the command of the U.N.
The deployment, which comes at the request of U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, will help the Haitian people recovering from the massive earthquake seven months ago, which killed an estimated 200,000 and left a million people homeless.
"The officers will live in field conditions, spend the nights in sleeping bags and tents and will be equipped with army rations, special uniforms and wide-ranging personal equipment that will allow them to remain there for an extended period," the police said.
On Monday, the officers participated in a special ceremony at the Western Wall in Jerusalem's Old City with Police Insp.-Gen. David Cohen.
"The makeup of this delegation points to the great importance we attack to this humanitarian mission," Cohen said.
"I have no doubt that this mission will provide residents in Haiti with the full professional assistance that we can provide and will serve as a source of pride for the Israel Police and Israeli citizens through its conduct," he said.
Last February, 100 Israeli police officers traveled to Haiti to help people cope with the aftermath of the massive quake.
Israel also dispatched Israel Defense Forces search and rescue teams and medical personnel.
With the support of CBN's Operation Blessing, field hospitals were set up where thousands of injured Haitians were treated.
The Jerusalem Post contributed to this report.

New Book 'Beyond Play' is Released
South Africa
Throughout the world, there are a multitude of companies that provide a variety of services to society, foremost of which is supplying jobs to a lot of people. Sadly though, not all business companies become successful or are sustainable. This is mostly a result of uninformed leadership pertaining to the management of risk and the accountability of the Board of Directors associated with governance and compliance. In "Beyond Play" (published by Xlibris UK), author Dawn Pretorius has written a truly informative read on this concept.
"Beyond Play" brings enterprise-wide governance, risk and compliance (eGRC) to the reader in a way that starts with simple concepts and builds on them to provide insight and a practical guide for a holistic approach to eGRC. It shows how companies have to manage risk in order to remain a sustainable force in the marketplace. This innovative book will change one's thinking and will help directors, risk and compliance practitioners and senior managers pave the way for implementing a framework that can be worked with on a practical level within an enterprise-wide risk management context.

34 year old woman | New Bern, NC, USA | Seeking men 28-38 within 50 miles
Life is one grand sweet song, so start the music.
Has it really taken me this long to figure out exactly what I want? Well, now that I have that cleared up, I guess it's time to work on finding it. Of all that is important to me, my family is the most. I truly value a man who has a good relationship with his family. I believe it builds a certain character. I have owned and operated my own company for 11 years and definitely appreciate a hard worker and someone who is established. I have left my company behind in Cincinnati to start a new venture here in New Bern, although I am still consulting for it. Above all, I would love to get to know someone with a caring heart that is full of laughter. I am constantly joking and probably serious about 4% of the time. I can definitely make you laugh an having light hearted fun is the best! I am a fan of chivalry and respect. That being said, I more than likely will not be the one to message you! I don't like being the one to make the first move. So please message me if you are interested. The winking is a bit ridiculous!
Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Gardening/Landscaping , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Nightclubs/Dancing , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Aerobics, Bowling, Cycling, Dancing, Tennis / Racquet sports, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines, Yoga
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Dogs
I just moved to New Bern from Cincinnati so I am in the dark here!
Music, concerts, and music! I can't get enough!
I am a huge foodie so a night out for me usually starts with an amazing dinner! I love grabbing some cocktails, ball games, concerts, museums, and movies. I also love to round up my girls for a yoga or pilates class.
I read a lot of fitness and nutrition type books. I believe the last one was Bob Harper's new fitness book. Not bad!

When Ellie Hathaway, a disillusioned big-city attorney, comes to Paradise, Pennsylvania, to defend Katie, two cultures collide, and, for the first time in her high-profile career, Ellie faces a system of justice very different from her own. Delving deep inside the world of those who live "plain", Ellie must find a way to reach Katie on her terms. And as she unravels a tangled murder case, Ellie also looks deep within, to confront her own fears and desires when a man from her past reenters her life.
Moving seamlessly from psychological drama to courtroom suspense, Plain Truth is a fascinating portrait of Amish life and a moving exploration of the bonds of love, friendship, and the heart's most complex choices.

The era of the Renaissance and Reformation (c. 1350-1550) witnessed the rise of cities and commerce, the introduction of printing and firearms, the growth of the state, stunning innovation in the arts, scholarship, and sciences, bloody struggles over religion, and the European colonization of the globe. Crucial to many of these developments was the struggle to acquire and control knowledge, generally contained in texts--increasingly, printed ones. We will thus pay particular attention to the role of communication and the "history of the book" in shaping the origins of modernity. The course devotes equal attention to primary sources and secondary literature, introducing students both to the early modern era and to the discipline of history itself. A foundational course in history, social science, humanities, and cultural studies.
|Course Objectives:
Course objective are to impart to participants, specifically:
|Evaluation Criteria:
Students are required to attend class regularly, keep up with a demanding reading load, and complete all assignments (see syllabus and assignments pages for details) on time.

The past few months, it seems that country is moving back toward the traditional side of the spectrum. I'm not sure exactly who started the trend — Zac Brown Band and Chris Young perhaps? Or it could just be that we're getting artists who grew up listening to the "class of '89." Whatever the cause, we're sure hearing a lot more fiddle and steel on radio lately. And one more entrant into the neo-trad fold this past year is Tennessee native Dustin Lynch, who unassumingly snuck into the Top 20 with his slow-burner "Cowboys and Angels." Brett Beavers (in, by my count, only his fourth production credit for someone other than Dierks Bentley) and Luke Wooten man the boards, keeping the sound crisp and modern.
"She Cranks My Tractor" is the upbeat lead-off to the album. Although it seems to be on the surface just another "man, my country girl's hot" kind of song that the Peach Pickers have done to death, it's loaded with clever lyrics like "Ten pounds of sugar in a five pound sack" and "she's the first one up the hayloft ladder." The repeated "she cranks, she cranks, she cranks" in the chorus might be a little annoying after the third time around, but overall, the song's restrained production and Lynch's voice make it seem smooth and charming, not aggressive. Similarly, on the Jake Owen-esque "Wild in Your Smile," the electric guitars come out and Dustin's voice drops to the lower register as he comes on to a hot girl and promises her a good time. But even when he's singing "I know you love a little danger, baby," he sounds authentic and friendly.
"Cowboys and Angels" took me a few listens to get into when I first heard it on the radio. And that's by no means a knock against it. It takes on a well-worn theme (good girl who loves a bad boy) with lines such as "There's a want and there's a need / There's a history between / Girls like her and guys like me." While its lyrics look simple on paper, Dustin sells them convincingly. She's obviously not the same girl he's singing about in "Hurricane," which uses the title object as a metaphor for temptation — and offers the interesting observation that a lot of them are named for women. "Waitin'" also takes another familiar theme (broken heart) and spins it in a new direction. There was a lot of waiting in the start of the relationship, and now that it's over, he's sitting on the couch, drinking whiskey, and waiting for her to come back. Its minor chords and very long chorus recall Kenny Chesney's excellent "Somewhere with You."
"Last Lap" is a smooth, laid-back song about cruising through town. It has a "whoa oh" chorus like Jake Owen's "Barefoot Blue Jean Night," but a slower, more deliberate feel. The inclusion of details like Jackson Street (which actually is the main drag of Dustin's hometown of Tullahoma) color in the song nicely. As I've said before, I'm a sucker for small-town nostalgia like this. And what's a country song without a hot girl sitting in your truck? He's got that in "Last Lap," and he elaborates a little on "Sittin' Pretty." (Yes, she's sitting pretty in a truck. Where else?) The conversational, laughing tone of the song makes it feel very off-the-cuff and organic. And guess what "Yeah Yeah Yeah" is about? Yep, a girl wearing a Haggard shirt and singing along to the radio. I admit I had low expectations with a title like that, but not unlike "Felt Good on My Lips," it fits the theme of singing along. "Rock You Sweet" is about a girl too, but it's more intimate than the songs before it. It uses interesting details like rocking boats in the sea and a jam band by the beach both as means of promising an unhurried good time.
But the good times aren't over. Is life getting to you? Well, you can surely identify with "Unwind It," which perhaps unsurprisingly about kicking back and drinking beer to forget all your troubles. Dustin pushes down to the lower end of his register again, fitting what is surpisingly an unhurried take on that topic. And if you want some partying, there's plenty out back in the woods, and indeed, the girls are "Dancing in the Headlights." Finally, there's "Name on It," yet more promises of partying and girls It's nice to see party anthems that aren't rocking out, and "hot girl" songs that have a little more maturity than most. On the other hand, those themes overtake nearly the entire last half of the album, making the disc a little monotonous at times, while undermining each song's individual lyrical clarity and charming delivery. (There's an acoustic bonus track called "Your Plan," a beautiful soul-baring song of surrendering control of life to the Man Upstairs™. I've said it before: this recent trend of soft, slow, religious-themed closing tracks is a good thing in my book.)
Lynch's debut has plenty of strengths, but they come through best when he breaks away from the omnipresent hot girls and trucks. A few more tracks like "Cowboys and Angels," "Hurricane," or "Waitin'" and a few less like "Name on It" would have made this an exceptional debut instead of just a very good one. Still, each song taken on its own has plenty of strengths, and nearly any would sound great on radio. Dustin has a smooth, low voice not unlike Don Williams minus the sappiness, and he's perfectly matched by uncluttered, often soft production that manages to sound traditional and modern at the same time. Even though I didn't get a lot of fiddle and steel, I was still surprised at how low-key the album was. A little more thematic variety would certainly help, but otherwise,Dustin Lynch is a welcome introduction that stands out even in the slowly-growing field of more traditional newcomers.

E3 2011 Preview: Mass Effect 3
For the last few years, the gaming world has been enamored with BioWare's epic space RPG series, Mass Effect. Its depiction of a strong protagonist championing human leadership in a galaxy full of aliens has been strangely addictive, and the RPG elements and hard-hitting action - along with many story-oriented choices and consequences - have really helped solidify BioWare's fanbase. While the studio made a couple of missteps in the latest Mass Effect 2 DLC and in the mild disappointment at the un-epic-ness of Dragon Age II, BioWare is soldiering on, and from what I've seen of Mass Effect 3, fans that are a little skeptical about those recent releases have nothing to worry about when it comes to this best-selling franchise and the final game in the trilogy.
We've all seen the trailer to set things up: Commander Shepard has not been able to get the galaxy's civilized races to band together and find a solution for the Reaper menace. The Human Alliance (or the Council, if they're still alive in your game) doesn't believe the Reapers even exist anymore, and they don't have the political capital to spend on devoting resources to the threat - not with all of their day-to-day squabbles. Other races are too busy in fighting their own wars, in holding back the Krogans, in being the Krogans, or in trying to gain the favor of the high-ups at the Citadel. It seems like the Reapers defeated the Protheans this way: by preying on sentient life's need to bicker and quibble over the little things. Or at least, that's the impression many players got from the Prothean encounter on the planet Ilos in the first game.
Warning: early game spoilers follow. If you want to go into the game blind, then stop reading this article (as well as other previews from E3, as they spoil things, too), and just wait for next March. And remember, what might be a tiny, allowable spoiler to one player could be a total game-ruiner for another. I can't guarantee I won't spoil something that you'll really hate me for later.
In Mass Effect 3, the Reapers arrive, and it happens right at the beginning of the game; the trailer told us this was going to happen, but we didn't realize it would be right at the start. Shepard is back on Earth, standing trial for the events in the Arrival DLC for the second game, and that's right when they invade Earth. Shepard scrambles to retrieve the Normandy and get off-planet in an attempt to rally together support - from all races that are capable of mounting it - for a unified defense. The player's choices in the first game, both big and small, all play a part in how the third game goes. If you lost (or killed) some of your companions in the first two games, they'll be gone here. If you wiped out the Rachni on Noveria, they're not an option. If you pushed the Quarians towards war with the Geth (and/or if you chose not to try and unify the Geth in Legion's loyalty mission), then that choice will affect these two races' reactions to your request to drop everything and come fight some bigger, badder enemies. You're not just going to need the teams of warriors you assembled in the first two games. You're going to need whole planets' armies at your back, and Mass Effect 3 is about making the final push to get as much of the galaxy behind your goal - end the Reapers forever - and then executing that goal at the end.
BioWare probably gave away a bit too much about Mass Effect 2 at E3 2009; myself along with a ton of other journalists wrote a lot of spoilers that wound up ruining at least one of the second game's big surprises. (We were just reporting on what BioWare showed us!) This time, BioWare has been a little more careful, and instead picked out parts of gameplay that don't spoil some of the big surprises they have in store for us. Mordin's on the Salarian home planet, feeling sorry for having engineered the Krogan genophage and is now trying to ensure the future reproductive viability of the Krogan race. And before Shepard escapes Earth and while whole buildings are collapsing, there's the matter of a little boy, one who is resistant to taking a helping hand. You might find this little scene touching.
The action this time is a little less wooden and more fluid, with scripted setpieces raging around you often. Shepard is more limber and moves around in cover easily, while fights are structured to give you more opportunities for flanking - we saw a preview of this in the way fights were structured in the later ME2 DLC packs, which are very challenging on Insanity difficulty. Additionally, Shepard can now turn the Omni-tool into a rather sharp blade for up-close impalements - Arbiter/Prophet of Truth-style. Nice! And hey, they even brought back frag grenades, which are thrown and bounce like they do in most military games.
Beyond that, we've got an indoctrinated Cerberus out for Shepard's blood, Reapers in huge rail shooter-type gun battles, and Wrex yelling at Shepard from a nearby ship about a fertile Krogan female (which we did see!). Ashley's back (and looking hotter than ever), along with Garrus, Wrex, Mordin, Legion, Liara, and good ol' Captain/Ambassador Anderson. Certainly we'll see more of the cast, too, but that's just a quick list of who we definitely we saw or heard at E3.
All of this content is from the very beginning of the game, as we understand it, so we know little of how Shepard will rally support from each important race in the series, or how things go down in the final battle. One nice part is that while BioWare felt the need to explain a lot of things about ME2's ending before the game was actually released (after all, people wanted to know specifics about taking their Shepard on into the third game), they won't have to do the same thing here since it's the end of the trilogy. It'll be nicer if we just find out on our own!
It seems like BioWare is cranking up not only the level of chaos and scale of each combat scene by introducing huge enemies and big surprises during battle, but they're also making everything much more personal in the conversations, too. With a promised improvement in the dialogue system to underline the importance of every decision made, we don't expect BioWare to change everything, but this is the final game in a trilogy of game-changing design. This most certainly won't be just a continuation of Mass Effect 2. I do hope that they get a better performance out of Mark Meer for the male Shepard role, but I'm still betting on Jennifer Hale's female Shepard to deliver a superior performance.
The few disconnected scenes we saw during BioWare's closed-doors E3 preview show us that Mass Effect 3 is, as you probably expect, right on track to deliver an explosive - but also emotionally charged - end to a truly epic space opera. Without having gotten my hands on the game personally, I'll fall a bit short of calling this as much of a beloved trilogy as another legendary science fiction series I can think of, but the important part is that it could get there, at least for me. And getting that far, even if just in a few minds, is a lot better than many people expected out of Mass Effect when it was first revealed.
The trilogy comes to a close (on PC, PS3, and 360) on March 6, 2012.

Review quote
"This is by far the best book on ancient architecture written in the last few decades, suitable both for those who think they know the field, and for those who are looking for an introduction to Roman architecture. If I was a dictator this would be a set text for an archaeology or art history course - there are insufficient synonyms of the word 'brilliant' to describe it." Dorothy King, Minerva; "A careful, sensible, and delightful consideration of all aspects of building in ancient Rome that will provide new insights for young and old scholars alike." Carol Richardson, Art Book; "Wilson Jones's excellent work combines the knowledge of a practising architect with that of an architectural historian." Choice; "This is an important work which throws new light on a number of aspects of Roman construction. It is well illustrated by the author's own drawings, by reproductions from classical works on the subject, and by excellent colour photographs." Architectural Science Review

Please help - SCSI CDRW
I'm relatively new to linux and am trying to work out how to get my SCSI cd rewriter to work under Redhat 8.0.
The drive is a YAMAHA CRW2100S-VK
with SCSI card: -
Tekram DC-315U
I have no idea where to start with this. I have tried the manufacturers website and searching the internet, but to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Can you post me your dmesg,
but anyway, you are in luck! linux only burns on scsi cdrw ( that is why your ide cdrw would be emulated via scsi emulation)
1 Attachment(s)
Have attatched the dmesg file for you to look at. I started both of those programs and they couldn't detect the CD ROM drive.:rolleyes:
hmm it does not seem to see your scsi card, (from what i can tell )
i see it picking up your sis chip set
making hda and hdc
but i never hsee any other hd's
you are going to have to recompile your kernel and make sure you have scsi support for your card built in to the kernel.
How would I do that?
I managed to find some files on tekrams site, but none of them seem to execute properly. I tried reading the instructions and they made no sense to me at all. :eek:
I'm still struggling with this. I tried using the makefiles off of Tekrams site but they don't work. I just get loads of errors. I've tried using the make xconfig command and enabling scsi through there. I then restarted the computer, but it still didn't see my card.
Is there any program that can enable my card automatically?

3. The module as in claim 2 wherein each module bracket includes a removable extension pin for slideably positioning the module from an installed position within the chassis to a servicing position external to the chassis.
4. The module as in claim 3 wherein said electronic circuit substrate includes holes disposed in the electrically conductive common areas, the holes extending through the electronic circuit substrate having their walls coated with an electrically conductive material, the holes electrically connecting the electrically conductive common areas on the front side of the electronic circuit substrate with the electrically conductive common areas on the backside of the electronic substrate forming a continuous ground plane.
The present invention relates generally to radio frequency (RF) devices, and more particularly to removable electronic circuit modules in which mechanical support, RF shielding the grounding for one or more electronic circuits sensitive to or producing RF signals disposed within are provided.
In the past, electronic instrumentation involving RF circuits have been difficult to repair and service as well as assemble, test and calibrate, because of the interference such operations have on circuit performance. Even where a RF circuit is malfunctioning, repair is difficult because shielding, configuration and calibration of critical components are usually disturbed even while the malfunction is being diagnosed. Thus, such circuit repair often becomes an inconvenient series of trail and error steps involving repeated assembly and disassembly of the circuit components until repaired. Servicing, often merely calibration of instrumentation circuits, may also disturb shielding and configuration of a circuit which, in turn causes an inconvenient iteration of adjustments and component settings.
Typically, RF circuits in electronic instrumentation are isolated by shielding and ground planes from low frequency circuits. However, such RF circuits, which usually include many feedback loops and which often radiate spurious emissions, are often inter-related and therefore not isolated from each other.
RF instrumentation constructed according to the principles of the present invention have all circuits, especially those operating at high frequencies, divided into functional modules. Each module is a section of the instrument taken as a whole, amounting to a subsystem of the instrument, having well defined input and output specifications. Each module has a minimized number of interconnections to other modules of the instrument including, for example, connections for power, digital control and RF signals. Thus, each module contains circuitry which is separately assembled and tested prior to final assembly of the instrument.
Final assembly, test and calibration of a new instrument is greatly facilitated by modularizing according to the present invention. Rapid, on-site field repair of instrumentation such as RF signal generators and analyzers, is now a reality; even if repair of the module itself is not possible, instrument operation can be quickly restored by simply replacing the malfunctioning module. Field servicing is also easy, since separate calibration of each module, none of which interact with other modules while being calibrated, substantially calibrates the whole instrument.
Modules of the present invention include a cast aluminum base having up to two mounting surfaces for mounting electronic circuitry substrates such as printed circuit boards. Each mounting surface may accommodate more than one substrate. The substrates are then each sandwiched between the base and a cast aluminum cover. High frequency gasket material, affixed to the aluminum castings, contact ground plane areas of the printed circuit boards to electrically seal each module. Ground plane areas on the circuit boards extend to the edges thereof and between sections of circuitry requiring shielding from each other thereon. Such ground plane areas incorporate closely spaced, plated-through holes which form a continuous ground plane on both sides of the printed circuit board. All connectors and feed-through filters mounted on the printed circuit boards are grounded to the covers by conductive elastomer grommets.
According to the present invention, the modules are fitted with brackets at each end which slide over corresponding chassis guides mounted on the instrument chassis. Snap fasteners lock each bracket to its respective chassis guide to secure the module in its place in the instrument chassis.
The chassis guides are threaded to receive extension guides which also accept the corresponding snap fastener on each module bracket to lock the module in a servicing position external of the instrument chassis. When the module is in the servicing position, the covers may be removed and the circuits examined while power is applied. The printed circuit boards may also be removed for repair.
FIGS. 1A and 1B are exploded, perspective view illustrating a module for housing RF circuits constructed according to the principles of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a portion of a cover, showing high frequency gasket material attached thereto, for the module shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B.
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a fully assembled module shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B installed in an instrument chassis.
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the module shown in FIG. 3 locked to extension guides in the servicing position according to the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 1, the module 5 for housing RF circuits according to the present invention, comprises base plate 10 to which printed circuit boards 11 are mounted and covers 12, which mounted to base 10 over circuit boards 11 by machine screws 19.
Connectors 18 for receiving RF signal conductors are mounted on printed circuit boards 11. Conductive elastomer grommets 13 electrically seal the connectors by grounding the outer barrels thereof to ground planes 21 on the printed boards 11 and to covers 12, which are contoured to conform with the location of the connectors 18.
Printed circuit boards 11 are interconnected by feed-through filter connectors 14 via feed-through filters 15. Similarly, feed-through filters 24 and flat cable connectors 16 are sealed electrically by conductive elastomer gaskets 17 which are molded to conform to the contours of the feed-throughs 24 and connectors 16.
Printed circuit boards 11 incorporate predefined areas on both sides having electrically conductive surfaces which are used as a common reference point for circuit returns and signal potentials forming ground planes 21. Ground planes 21 may extend to and along the periphery or edges of printed circuit boards 11 and have plated-through holes 20 disposed therein electrically connecting the electrically conductive surfaces on both sides of printed circuit boards 11 to form a continuous ground plane 21 along the peripheral of the printed circuit boards. Similarly, such ground planes 21 and plated-through holes 20 are used to form internal ground planes 21 to shield sections of the printed circuit boards 11 from each other. Base 10 and covers 12 incorporate peripheral walls 9 which, when assembled (as shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B), contact the peripheral ground plane 21 and completely enclose and shield the circuitry mounted on printed circuit boards 11. Further, base 10 and covers 12 incorporate internal shielding walls 28 which conform to the pattern of the ground planes 21 dividing the circuitry on printed circuit boards 11 into sections, thus completely shielding one section of the circuitry from the spurious and conducted emissions of another.
In FIG. 2, high frequency gasket 25 is typically affixed to base 10 and covers 12 by pinch bosses 26 disposed along the route of gasket 25. Any suitable method of attaching gasket 25 to the base and covers may be used so long as it remains flexible and resilient to assure good electrical contact for repeated disassembly and assembly operations. Gasket material 25 can be either spiral wound metal strip or extruded conductive elastomer.
Module 5 is mounted in chassis 7 as shown in FIG. 3. Module brackets 30, attached by machine screws 36 to each end of module 5, slide over corresponding chassis guides 31 mounted on chassis 7 to locate the module 5 in place. Snap fasteners 32 secure module 5 in operating position by locking brackets 30 to corresponding chassis guides 31 as shown. Chassis guides 31 include internally threaded extension mounts 37.
Cable 34 connects signals requiring shielding to module 5 from either another module or from some source external of the instrument (not shown). Cable 33 couples signals from one printed circuit board on one side of the module to the other printed circuit board on the other side. Flat cable 35, held in place by cable pin 38, conducts power and control signals to module 5 from their source elsewhere in the instrument. Feed-through filters 15, shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, conduct power and control signals from one printed circuit board to the other.
Referring now to FIGS. 3 and 4, extension mount 37 comprises a short, hollow tube fixedly attached to the upper end of the chassis guide 31. The extension mount 37 is internally threaded for receiving the external guide 40. The extension mount 37 has an external circumferential groove 39 for receiving the snap fastener 32 which retains the module 5 in the operating position. External guide 40 is an extension or extender pin which is threaded at one end and has a knurled knob 41 at the other end. Similarly, adjacent to the knurled knob 41, the external guide 40 has a circumferential groove 42 for receiving the snap fastener 32.
To move the module 5 from the operating position (as shown in FIG. 3) to the servicing position (as shown in FIG. 4), an extension pin (external guide 40) is screwed into the extension mount 37 at each end of module 5. Snap fasteners 32 are then disconnected and the module 5 is pulled up on the external guides 40. The snap fasteners 32 are then reconnected in the groove 42 at the upper end of each of the external guides 40 to retain the module 5 in place while servicing. When servicing of the module 5 is completed, the procedure is reversed, and the external guides 40 removed.
Referring to FIG. 4, module 5 is shown in the servicing position external of chassis 7. Cables 33, 34 and 35 need not be disconnected while covers 12 are being removed, since connectors 16 and 18 (as shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B) are separately mounted and grounded to their respective printed circuit boards, and covers 12 are contoured to fit around each connector. In this position, module 5 can be fully operating with covers 12 removed for trouble-shooting and servicing while maintaining shielding of circuits in other modules to RF energy.
Cooling of circuit components in module 5 is achieved by drawing air through ventilation holes 29 as shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B. In addition to shielding, internal shielding walls 28 also may be used for directing air flow within module 5. Finally, since base 10 and covers 12 are aluminum having desirably high thermal conductivity, temperatures within module 5 tend to be relatively uniform, even though power dissipation may be concentrated in certain sections of the module. Of course, the number and location of ventilation holes 29, as well as the configuration of the internal shielding walls 28 can be tailored to meet the cooling requirements of each module.
Referring again to FIGS. 1A and 1B, plated-through holes 20 are obtained by well-known printed circuit board production technology. Alternatively, though less reliable, ground plane areas on both sides of the printed circuit boards may be connected by plating the edges of the printed boards.
Base 10 and covers 12 may be either machined parts or castings, thus facilitating virtually any suitable shape, size and convenient placement of internal shielding walls, ventilation and mounting hardware holes.

By my reading, it was pretty obvious that the Omar-Kat fight was not going to happen prior to JFS freaking out. If the scheduled fight were going to happen, I don't think Kid would have put the camera back in the car (even with menacing looks from a psycho JFS.)
Omar was in a no-win situation here. Everyone knows that. It is part of what made this whole drama so funny. And he was given an out by Anna not fighting him right there on the spot.
Edit: After reading the neutral observer's post, I tend to think JFS was acting it up for the camera, trying to jump on the first angle to assure the fight didn't happen.

Style: ti da shuai na--
I was worried for OS's health at that point because it was hard for me to imagine why someone who knows how to fight would lead with something as silly as a flying kick, but... he got up, clinched with JFS and did a double-leg takedown before either of them landed a punch.
JFS seemed to go for a guillotine that turned into a headlock as they fell to the pavement with OS mounted on JFS, his chin tucked, breathing short, rapid breaths.
I walked over to the pair, watching the fight, tried to catch it on camera, but I'm not sure how clear the footage is. Omar took the camera and started filming more carefully somewhere around here.
OS tried to knee JFS a couple times, didn't get anything, JFS said something like, "I don't think so." JFS and OS traded *street lethal eye gouges* to little effect. OS slipped his head out of the headlock (I saw no bite, but I don't think I would have from where I was standing), postured up and whacked JFS. There was some punching and some arm grabbing and so on. They talked for a second (didn't catch what they said), then OS hopped off and walked toward the car. He was saying something about JFS's lack of a mount defense and about going home, JFS calling after about "finishing it," blah, blah, more yelling.
JFS is, in fact, quite bloody at this point, but it looked to me like it was all coming from superficial cuts inflicted by -- irony of ironies -- the very concrete on which he wanted the fight to happen. Also maybe the bite?
I went over to talk to Anna with the goal of setting up a place where the originally scheduled fight could occur, possibly with an OS v. JFS re-match included.
While we were discussing locations, JFS reached in and whacked OS's head via the car window, more shouting, lots of "****** boy" from JFS, even less dignity thus bestowed on an already revolting situation.
Atlanta crew leaves. JFS goes to get car keys in order to drive to new venue, I wait outside to get the details from Anna, who calls with some worries about the police. JFS gets cleaned up -- looks fine, not really hurt at all -- decides to go to the beach instead, he and Omar and Donkey do that, I go have lunch with my mum, then take the bus back to NYC.
Before we parted company I told JFS that I would have done the same thing OS did (minus the flying kick) and so would he (had he been on the other side of things), he nodded and said he couldn't even be mad at the guy. I can't make sense of JFS, who seems in many ways to be two people at once.
Why can't we get together and beat the snot out of each other in a friendly way, like civilized people?

Does video have a Napster problem?March 13, 2006
TV catches the Net video bugFebruary 22, 2006
Earlier this month, that was the actual pitch for a video that's available on the "Girls Girls Girls" playlist at the popular Ifilm Web site, complete with advertisements for the new MacBook Pro and AT&T's broadband service.
Those weren't the only companies sponsoring the video, which shows a parade of apparently high-school-age girls in skirts walking up to and over a shoe-top video camera. After clicking on the thumbnail image, a media player window pops up, displaying the video, which is labeled "mature" on the site. Next to the images is an ad for Comcast that blurts, "It's Comcastic!"
Informed of the juxtaposition of the ads and the video, and other ad-and-video juxapositions of arguably dubious taste on a second Web site, AT&T said it was looking into the matter.
"AT&T has advertising policies to ensure our ads are placed in appropriate mediums consistent with the company's brand," AT&T said in a statement. "It appears the sites in question were part of a large buy vs. a specific target. To date, we've had no complaints or concerns. We are reviewing these sites, and if we determine that it is an inappropriate placement, we will discontinue advertising on those sites."
Apple declined to comment.
Seeing ads from blue-chip companies such as Apple and AT&T next to sexually charged or graphically violent videos may be shocking to parents and corporate marketing departments, but it should hardly come as a surprise. The growing popularity of sites that rely on user-generated content--from blogs to podcasts to homemade video clips--and the continuing embrace of the Web by Fortune 500 advertisers almost ensures that such a collision would occur.
"It's not a unique problem to video," said David Card, an analyst with Jupiter Research. "There is a reason why in Web 1.0 it was difficult to monetize chat rooms. A lot of people didn't want to advertise there."
Clearly, mainstream companies are unlikely to want to see their ads next to questionable content. But it can happen when they or their ad buyers participate in networks in which they target a specific demographic.
Take, for example, a telecom company advertising broadband access services to young adults on a Web site that features bandwidth-intensive videos. The ad buyer in this case is dependent on the site where the ads appear to be diligent in screening and properly identifying content the advertisers don't want their ads to appear next to.
A Comcast spokeswoman said the company had no idea its ads were next to mature content on the Ifilm site until informed by CNET News.com.
"This was an error that was made and it's been corrected. We are taking steps to ensure that this doesn't happen again," said Comcast spokeswoman Jenni Moyer. "The bottom line is we had no intention of having our ads placed alongside this content on their site."
Roger Jackson, vice president of content and programming for Hollywood-based Ifilm, which is owned by MTV Networks, said ads should not have appeared next to video clips the company has rated "mature." At the time of publication, Ifilm was implementing a software-based fix to resolve the problem "so even search results pages will not have any mature content in them that matches with an advertiser," he said.
"I'm assuming it's a one-off bug," Jackson told CNET News.com. "I'm frankly astonished that you have a screenshot (of ads next to mature video clips) because we've spent thousands of hours as a company over several years coming up with systematic solutions to issues like this that keeps both our advertisers and our users happy."
Ads for AT&T also showed up on the site of free video hosting site VidiLife.com, in the "Sinful Sirens" channel next to thumbnails for videos with titles like "lingerie bowl 3," "Lap Dance" and others even more salacious in nature.

I would like to share some thoughts about technology as a lever of change. It is exciting to lead an organisation – IBM Global Business Services (GBS) – that is helping to transform not just some of our countries' most influential organisations, but transforming the very fabric of our daily lives in Australia and New Zealand. As the largest business and technology consulting business globally, as well as in A/NZ, we have a world of capability and technology at our fingertips.
When you pass through a Qantas kiosk at an airport, that is the GBS consulting team at work. We are supporting the deployment of a new blood products management system for the Red Cross, helping to ensure that life-saving transfusions will be available when needed. Our business and technology consulting work is being showcased in many landmark projects that will impact all of us in many different ways.
With the signing of a significant contract to deliver the NASH project, we will be involved in a key part of the e-health information infrastructure services that forms the backbone of Australia's national e-health system. NASH will provide a nationwide, secure and authenticated framework for issuing and managing security credentials for healthcare providers, such as Hospitals and GPs, to exchange health information.
What does this mean? By improving the quality and safety of health information – and by allowing that information to be shared – we can prevent medical errors, unnecessary hospitalisation and testing, and adverse medical events for all Australians. Again, it is technology that can literally save lives.
This is an exciting time for IBM Global Business Services in other fields, too, as we partner with companies that are driving explosive growth in natural resources; providing more environmentally-conscious energies; and implementing the next generation National Broadband Network (NBN) to provide Fibre-To-The-Home connectivity at 100Mbps to 90 percent of Australian premises.
These are just some of the ways that the work we are do is a lever of wide-reaching and profound social and economic change. But whether we are assisting our major banking clients in speeding on-line processes, or paving the way for smarter transport, or providing better management and administrative services for educational institutions, I am proud to say that all of the work that we perform in GBS is work that matters. It matters to me and it matters to everyone that I work with.
Working with our clients and across industries to implement business-changing solutions, is what gets us out of bed in the morning.
It's our DNA.
