The US is the inventor of the first transistor, computer chip, calculator, LISP, COBOL, C, networking of computing devices, UNIX, CCD's, etc. I am pretty sure that we can do well without hiring IT staff from India to weite code lines for our device drivers. What we need to do is so heavily tax those American corporations that hire Indian and other programmers that it becomes impossible for them to make a profit while at it. Only then will those greedy free marketeers create an environment where American kids will not have to compete for miserable wages with a foreign programmers whose choice is either to program at substandard pay here in the US, or return home to a place without food, AC, roads, sanitation, or health care. Let's not fool ourselves unnecessarily. There is simply no explanation as to why Americans cannot fulfill the jobs now given to foreign IT workers, no explanation other than the excessive greed of our own corporations and "job creators".
USA has traditionally welcomed immigrants and continues to do fine. Their might be some problems with their laws but they are nowhere near as hostile as Indian immigration laws.
Let me turn the argument around and argue that India needs immigrants. Indeed, the need of the hour in India is to have immigrants so that the labour lobby which has guaranteed inefficiency is completely broken. There are lots of software "engineers" who are incapable of engineering and we need a huge influx of teacher workers who are immigrants. Most "Engineers" do not understand seriousness of what they do and hence need an upgrade of "core" skills. This alas can not be taught by us locals. We need immigration to help us. This is just the industry I know and others can not be that different.
Thus, I worry more about our immigration policies than that of the USA. Could someone write a book about this please ?
Jose, A very good idea indeed. PLEASSEEE do that and send our folks back home once they get their masters and PhDs from your best universities. I cant emphasize enough how much I want you to do this!!
I agree with Jose. Americans are definitely capable of doing the IT work and that it is only because of the greed of corporations that Americans are not getting the jobs. Now, if they were to make the jobs available only to Americans then other countries will sure reciprocate it. Effectively, we are saying: let's roll back globalization. 'Is it practically possible?' is the question. But, whatever the situation - globalization, no globalization - it is the top 1% that make rules and laws. So, they will ensure to make the laws and rules that benefit them or at least that does not affect them. You and me are non entities. And the thing that happens to us are incidental. If good - we are fortunate. If bad - unfortunate. That's all.
Ok Jose, everybody says their people are the best. If Indians are so bad at programming why are I.T service (don't get confused with BPO/call center) seekers are not shunning India & opt for some other cheap source?........ that's because those people incharge of the business are not arrogant & fools like you.
No ! Please America send the Indians out of America so that they can come to India and make India more powerful !
@D N Prahlad
I dont think engineers, scientists and other such highly educated people are lining up to get Indian visas. So to say that India's immigration and American immigration problems are exactly same, is living in the fools world. Most of the immigrants India receive is from its neighboring countries who are mostly low skill, which India has plenty even with the immigrants. India does have a hostile visa regime but what it needs desperately is a refugee plan and programme because that is the sort of immigrants India gets, fleeing from Burma, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Tibet. Therefore, there is a reason India is hostile to all immigrants. Obviously India could do a good job at selectively granting citizenship to deserving immigrants but then when has Indian bureaucracy done anything right and why would one hope it might get better in face of such poor governance?
the problem with Indian immigration is due to corruption.this corruption is so rampant and systematic that the black market prize if American visa is 20 lakhs(two millions) of rupees or more that is around40000 dollars.if American embassy in Bombay and newdelhi increases its visa-fee many fold but do the processing of visa-applications systematically,rationally,reasonably,lawfully then their economy will be improved and only genuine engineers and doctors,scientists and good success-full managers will come.at present the southindian cooks on the name of cooking industry-managers,Punjabi drivers, BLACK Money-launderers,agriculturists from India are flooding the applications.the visas are rejected d on the pretext of POTENTIAL IMMIGRANTS IF HE OR SHE IS NOT COMING THROUGH CORRUPT ROUTS.
America is going to collapse pretty soon ? I don't think the Indians are aware that America is bankrupt ? Even Americans can't find work in America Lol !
Why does India need immigrants..it is souring with population, adding more to it would be insane! Instead we should work on achieving higher literacy rate and focus on educating the poorest of the poor.This brings a lot of change!
I understand that immigration is a concern area in US but speaking about Indians, only 1 out of 100 (wild estimate) would think of entreprenuership. The rest are here to do jobs, most of which are IT jobs. A lot of Indians get into low ranked schools just for the sake of landing and eventually settling in USA. After graduation, they are placed in contract IT positions by faking their resumes (done be a lot of small IT consulting companies set up by desis)
Q: Why the U.S. Needs Indian Immigrants?
A: American workers with idiotic needs such as "competitive salary" are simply too costly. Why should corporations pay for their lifestyle which includes such frivolities as "mortgage loans" and children? If we flood the market with low wage servants we can break the back of this monster. Let's push for a low wage USA! What could go wrong? Hooray for us!
America is bankrupt Lol !
The notion that foreign prospective entrepreneurs seeking permanent residency in the United States are facing difficulty in securing green cards is wholly untrue. In fact, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has an immigrant visa category specifically designed for prospective entrepreneurs, the EB-5 visa, which has minimal requirements, including as little as $500,000 investment in a U.S.-based enterprise. The EB-5 is not subject to the green card cap Mr. Wadhwa refers to above. The people having difficulty securing green cards to which he is referring are not prospective entrepreneurs building the next Google but average IT workers who are working in the United States, often for multinational companies, or foreign students who then seek employment in the United States upon graduation.
Mr. Wadhwa's favorite justification is that between 1995-2005, 25% of start-ups had AT LEAST ONE immigrant founder. So this dubious statistic justifies rewarding any Indian or other foreign student (over 100,000 Indian students in the U.S. currently) who attends university in the United States a green card because they may, just may be part of a start-up in the United States that may or may not hire American citizens? Or perhaps green cards for all of the hundreds of thousands of H-1B holders from India currently working in the United States? The vast majority of H-1Bs and foreign students will never start a company in the United States or India, for that matter. So why give them all permanent residency?
If the criterion for better immigration policy is to reward entrepreneurs with green cards, we need to focus on people who will actually build companies, not some blind policy of presuming anyone from India or China with a professional degree will start a company. We have an immigrant visa category for that. These foreign students and H-1Bs already in the United States don't qualify for the entrepreneur visa because they are not entrepreneurs.
An October 2012 U.S. National Science Foundation study found that only 5.2% of Indian PhD students studying in the United States return to India upon graduation; these are the highly skilled potential entrepreneurs and patent developers we need to keep in the United States. Mr. Wadhwa's argument is a blatant attempt to open permanent residency to anyone with a professional degree under the guise of job creation and economic growth, and is disturbingly pointed at favoring one country (his former) over any other. There are skilled workers, and then there are skilled entrepreneurs. Let's not confuse the two.
America is bankrupt ?
Not even Americans can find work in the Us ?
Here are six rigorous studies that show there is no shortage of STEM workers in the United States nor the likelihood of such a shortage in years to come.

Hi Frank
I am a skilled worker doesn't mean that I shouldn't be a skilled entrepreneur. I play a role depends on the situation in the context of my visa status. If I have a green card definitely I float a company.
It all depends we shouldn't generalize.
Jose - Time to mow the lawn and then clean the driveway... chop chop
The reason that the United States can have real unemployment of over 15% AND a virtually open door immigration policy bringing in hordes of skilled and unskilled new labor into the country is that we have no real leaders. What we have in both major parties, left, right, far left, far right, are self-serving whores of Big Business, Big Manufacturing, and Wall Street. Our politicians and lawmakers 'serve the public' for X number of years and then retire from service far, far richer than they were when they entered public service.
Perhaps some day the American voters will wake up to what's going on and we will shut our doors tight for two or three generations, until all Americans who want jobs have them and don't have to compete (and lose) with immigrants who will work cheaper, not look for benefits, and have no feelings or connections to our country other than to see us as a giant ATM machine.
When Americans do wake up, it won't be pretty.
Dear Americans
Think. It helps sometimes. The world has changed. Something called globalization. I could go on about it, but the basic point is this - for a long while, the western world profited on it's ability to manufacture and develop goods that the entire world would pay high prices for, since the rest of the world did not have the expertise to develop it themselves.
But it's different now. If you can, sitting in your couch, write a 100 lines of code to make a fancy website, so can that guy on the other side of the world. It's become much easier for people in developing countries today to perform the same jobs as Americans. That's why corporations are moving to places where the same job can be done at a cheaper rate., like India or China. It'll keep happening until the world is at an equilibrium, where the Indians and Chinese demand the same lifestyle as the Americans. Until then, jobs are moving out.
For those who suggest closing down the borders, to create good ol' american jobs - Sure, go ahead. Pretty soon you'll find yourselves not very different from Somalia. Because you need to buy that car from Germany, or that tee from Honduras, or that TV from Japan, or that oil from Saudi Arabia. But what will you sell in return? Every study shows it's the immigrants who're creating revenue for Americans. And that makes sense, because that's why they're being allowed. If you lose them, they'll stay in their own country, which may not be the best option for them right now, but definitely great for their home country.
In India, the government is very worried about 'brain drain'. There are clauses that prevent skilled Indians from immigrating easily (212(e) rule). If anyone should be worried, it's them. Not Americans.
Smart Guy
The USA is a land of immigrants. The USA prospered due to immigration all throughout history. Now the settlers are no longer ready to work themselves, just enjoy the bounty..Ah..that is not going to happen! Karma will eventually reward the hardworking, constructive and creative chinese (not even the Indians).
The reality is America has always welcomed immigrants, and there is a special statue erected in New York Harbor that holds a special plate in the right hand, with those immortal words regarding the poor and disinfranchised of the world having a nation that welcomes then, and gives opportunites and freedoms not found in their home nations. We now have immigrants from all nations coming here, the rich, the poor, the well educated and the day laborer. When once our nation was comprised of mainly European Caucasians, fleeing religous persecution and poverty we now have races that represent the major countries, and the amazing thing is that we all get along (relatively speaking) and have a Constitution that says we are created equal, endowed with unalienable rights, and a nation that will not perish from the earth.
Immigrants are known for their hard work, as they realized the much higher standard of living they enjoy here than back in their home nations, with governments that do not value them as much, and have policies which prevent the opportunities America grants.
And, our nation has always tried to prod those non-democracies to embrace our freedoms and vision for all its people, with mixed success.
Let's keep the famous president of the early 1960's in mind, though, as we elect our politicians:
"Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country"-JFK.
Hard work and being a team player fits into his vision for our nation.
And, keep in mind the warning of one founder:
"America will prosper if it can keep its republic, and not allow the monarchies which is fled from".
The definitive answer of why America doesn't need Indians: Look at India.
There is a myth that the Indian PR machine has put about. However, an Indian buys a gas station, a corner store or a restaurant, then pulishes a business card with President on it. Does this mean he is a successful businessman. I have lived and worked all over the world, these people in my experience rarely are up to the responsiblities they claim they can handle. They dont take risks, they look for administrative roles rather coalface jobs, they duck and dive from delivery responsiblity, they will not take responsiblity for budgets, deadlines or quality. Living in Europe, Australia, UAE, Canada etc. I have found them turning neighbourhoods into slums, using up health and welfare resources and posts I have read reveal that they rarely as a community make a net contribution. Even Scandanavia has reported a massive upturn in rape and other crimes attributable directly to the Indian population. Scum.
James you have got to be the stupidest person i have ever encountered. Indians have the highest salary of any ethnic in america by a WIDE margin, even higher than whites. Its a good thing they're coming too because clearly people like you arent carrying the mental capacity of the country.
India Real Time offers analysis and insights into the broad range of developments in business, markets, the economy, politics, culture, sports, and entertainment that take place every single day in the world's largest democracy. Regular posts from Wall Street Journal and Dow Jones Newswires reporters around the country provide a unique take on the main stories in the news, shed light on what else mattered and why, and give global readers a snapshot of what Indians have been talking about all week.

Scott Walker Foes Launch New Barrage Of Recall Ads
It's day one in the 28-day campaign pitting Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker against his newly anointed Democratic challenger, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett. Walker's enemies on the left are wasting no time shifting the focus back to the governor as they try to galvanize Wisconsinites to vote him out of office on June 5.
The Progressive Change Campaign Committee (PCCC) unveiled a new recall ad on Wednesday called "Remember. Recall," that draws heavily on the imagery of the populist uprising in Madison, the state capital, in the winter of 2011. PCCC say it is spending $30,000 on its opening ad volley; the ad will appear on broadcast and cable channels in Madison, including spots during the Colbert Report and the national Sunday news programs.
Here's the ad:

The Thomas Cole National Historic Site
River Crossings: Contemporary Art Comes Home
Thomas Cole National Historic Site and The Olana Partnership/Olana State Historic Site will co-host a landmark exhibition of contemporary art to highlight the pivotal role that the two historic properties – and the artists who lived and worked there – played in shaping America's culture of contemporary art. The exhibition – "River Crossings: Contemporary Art Comes Home" – will open on May 3rd and run through November 1st. It will provide an unprecedented opportunity for visitors to consider these historic spaces from a completely new vantage point – that of experiencing contemporary art in these iconic settings.
The exhibition is curated by Stephen Hannock, the celebrated painter, and Jason Rosenfeld, PhD, the art historian who recently curated two enormously popular exhibitions at Tate Britain in London and the National Gallery in Washington, DC. A fully-illustrated companion book will be published by The Artist Book Foundation and will include entries by Rosenfeld on all the artists and works, and reflections by such preeminent writers and historians as Maurice Berger, Ken Burns, Adam Gopnik, and Marvin Heiferman.
The exhibition will take place in the residences and surrounding landscapes of the Thomas Cole Historic Site – home of Thomas Cole (1801-1848), founder of the Hudson River School of art, the first distinctly American art movement – and Olana, the 250-acre home and landscape created by Frederic Edwin Church (1826-1900), Cole's student, who became world-renowned as the School's leading practitioner. The properties lie two miles apart, directly across the Hudson River from each other and connected by a bridge.
The artists whose work is included in the exhibition are Romare Bearden, Elijah Burgher, Chuck Close, Will Cotton, Gregory Crewdson, Lynn Davis, Jerry Gretzinger, Don Gummer, Duncan Hannah, Stephen Hannock, Valerie Hegarty, Angie Keefer with Kara Hamilton and Kianja Strobert, Charles LeDray, Maya Lin, Frank Moore, Elizabeth Murray, Rashaad Newsome, Thomas Nozkowski, Stephen Petegorsky, Martin Puryear, Cindy Sherman, Sienna Shields, Kiki Smith, Joel Sternfeld, Letha Wilson, and Elyn Zimmerman, in addition to selected complementary work by Thomas Cole and Frederic Church from the permanent collections.
In describing the show, Stephen Hannock explains that artists have visual conversations with their predecessors across time, and that he in particular has long been influenced by Thomas Cole and Frederic Church and in conversation with them through his art. This exhibition continues that dialogue by bringing outstanding works of contemporary artists into the homes of these two historic figures.
The works in the exhibition represent a wide range of styles and a broad diversity of artists, but the artists all have a connection to the region that Cole and Church helped ignite as a hot-bed of innovative contemporary American art: from Greater New York City to Lake George and from Niagara Falls to Massachusetts. The exhibition reflects the co-curators' choice of art and artists to participate in that continuing conversation.
Contemporary art is not new to the homes of Thomas Cole and Frederic Church. Cole placed his own work, likely still wet from the studio, onto the walls of his west parlor, and Church frequently displayed his work and that of friends on the walls at Olana in curated arrangements. Both homes were alive with visitors coming to see the artists and the latest in contemporary painting. But this is the first time since the 19th century that contemporary artists have been invited to present work in the context of the historic rooms and the landscapes of the two properties. It is also the first time that these two sites have formally collaborated on such a major scale to present a two-venue exhibition that crosses the Hudson River.
The exhibition's hardcover companion book – also titled "River Crossings: Contemporary Art Comes Home" – will include a foreword by historian Ken Burns on the Hudson River Valley as an ongoing inspiration to artists, essays on the exhibition by both curators as well as cultural historian Maurice Berger and cultural writer Marvin Heiferman, and an afterword by essayist Adam Gopnik. Together the exhibition and the book explore the relationship between past and present and consider new ideas about the meaning of the art and history of the mid-19th century and its resonance today.
"This exhibition provides a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see these magnificent recent works in a unique visual conversation with Cole, Church, and the sites that inspired so much early American art," said Stephen Hannock. "It's a conversation that I've wanted to experience and extend to other artists for some time now."
"The show aims to highlight the continued vitality of the Hudson River Valley as an important site of contemporary artistic production," said Jason Rosenfeld. "Hudson, NY, for example, has become a hotbed for artists both established and new, all of whom, like Cole and Church, sought a place to practice their craft within easy striking distance of New York City, the metropolis that sustains and supports their work. Cole came up by ferry, Church by railway, and now artists come by car, but this region has remained an incubator for the new in American art since 1833."
"This groundbreaking exhibition puts these historic properties in an entirely new context – within the continuum of contemporary art," said Betsy Jacks, Director of the Thomas Cole National Historic Site. "In doing so, it creates a new understanding of how essential the work of Cole and Church has been to the contemporary art that we enjoy today."
"Our sites seek to expand the dialogue between past and present," said Rena Zurofsky, Interim President of The Olana Partnership. "It enables us to reflect the current influence of Cole and Church and their continuing impact today."
The Thomas Cole National Historic Site is in Catskill, NY; Olana is in Hudson, NY. The Rip Van Winkle Bridge connects the two communities, and AMTRAK offers frequent train service to Hudson from New York City and Albany.
Special shuttle service will connect the train station in Hudson to both sites as well as downtown Catskill on certain weekends. This will enable visitors traveling by train to reach both sites and return to the station without needing a car. More information on the exhibition and shuttle service is available at www.rivercrossings.org.
This exhibition is supported by a grant from the New York State Council on the Arts, and by New York State's Empire State Development and the I ♥ NY Division of Tourism under Governor Andrew Cuomo's Regional Economic Development Council Initiative. The companion book and related public programs are supported by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.

4130 Chromoly
AISI 4130 is a low alloy steel containing molybdenum and chromium as strengthening agents. The carbon content is nominally 0.30% and with this relatively low carbon content the alloy is excellent from the fusion weldability standpoint. The alloy can be hardened by heat treatment. Typical applications for 4130 low alloy steel include structural use such as aircraft engine mounts and welded tubing applications.

Towing + No Brakes = Hiroshima!!
I haul my 20ft bay boat around quite often, and usually use this one ramp on base that's real close to my house. The ramp is pretty steep but convenient enough because of it's location. Last weekend I hit the road early to get my morning fishing on and as I was reversing to the ramp my brakes go out. Luckily, I put it in drive and was able to make it out before I hit the water.
After some diagnosing, I realized that my combination valve's pin was stuck out, and by the looks of it wasn't going to be easy to reset (Rust). I hit the junkyard for a new combination valve after weeks of trying to find an OEM replacement and I got lucky finding an 89 Ramcharger. I got a good deal for $2 because apparently the guy at the counter didnt have a clue to what it was. Installed it and no luck again...
So I decided to buy a new aftermarket one from Summit Racing: Classic Performance Brake Proportioning Valve, P/N: PV-2. It is identical in every way to the original configuration and it also bolts right up to the original bracket. The only thing I had to swap was the warning light switch. For only $45 I would definitely recommend this to anyone still dealing with their old steel combination valve on their second generation.
Just my two cents.
when was the last time you changed your brake fluid? i have never had an issue with the proportioning valves on any of my trucks.
I checked it about five months ago when I first got the truck..
but have you actually changed it? up here in the land of rust we usually replace our brake lines about every 10 years and with doing that we have no choice but to change all the fluid. over time brake fluid absorbs water. water will create rust even if it is to the parts inside the brake lines. i think even at one point in time they recommended changing the brake fluid every 2 years because of this.
Yea, I definately know about rust, it's pretty common killer over here by the coast. I ended up replacing all of my lines because they were too corroded.
Towing: Using the "Gain Adjustment" power output
RE: Integrated Trailer Brake Controller - How to set & vary the "Gain Adjustment" power output under varying road conditions.
First, Im a first time truck owner as of 2 weeks ago purchasing the RAM 1500 SLT Crew Cab 4x4, V8 Hemi, towing package, with Integrated Brake Controller.
Second, We just purchased our first travel trailer (Denali 246RK) and will pick up this Friday (June 28th).
Question: What power output settings (+ or -) are made with the Gain Adjustment under varying road conditions? Is there a setting or range for towing on level road, a different range/setting going down a 8% grade hill vs 15% grade, or going the opposite uphill? Or, is it done all automatically?
Question: Is this correct? I first hook up the trailer, drive on a level road at 25 mph, and manually squeeze slowly (?) the Gain Adjustment lever using no truck brakes, and the brake controller will automatically stop the trailer, w/o squealing the tires. Then, the brake controller will display the correct setting to use? Again, that number would be for a level road. Im more confused by any adjustments to be made under different road conditions.
This is all new to me!
Much thanks!!

I know, you've read the headline for this ad and you're thinking, did the Holidays come almost THREE WEEKS EARLY this year?! And my answer to your question would be a resounding, WHAT DO YOU HAVE AGAINST CHRISTMAS, HEATHEN?! And then I would add, "But um, yes, in answer to your question, the holidays ARE early this year!!"
My name's Jason, and I'm in a theatre company called 11:11. (Hey, do you act? We need people: www.1111theatre.com. Moving on...) Our recent show took place in Boston, and we really wanted to transport the audience into our fair city. You can imagine then, staging our show in a giant concrete pit in Midway Studios in South Boston presented a challenge. So you can also imagine our delight when we walked in one day to find 21 Foot Square (450ish square feet) of sod sent by some heavenly observer.
"Look!" our director exclaimed with glee, "Look at all that beautiful sod! I feel as though I have been transported to Boston Commons! Look! Can't you all see the swans swimming merrily along?"
"Yes!" we exclaimed! "We can see them in our minds, for this grass is so evocative!" And we jumped up and down for joy and wrestled in the grass and we had a picnic. Life was good.
But then that sod died and we had to get new sod for our second run of the show. So the original heaven-sent sod has been taken care of - read: thrown in a dumpster - and now we have our store bought sod that we paid 170 dollars for. The show is over and now we don't know what the hell to do with 450 square feet of sod.
Do you want it? You can have it, and for FREE! Just think of all the incredible things you could do with your very own 450 square feet of (FREE) sod!(!!!)
- You could have the world's smallest Arena Football field! Right in your very own home!
- Finally, you can recreate scenes from a Midsummer Night's Dream! (Please note: donkey's head not included with this sod)
- Cover up that dead body in the back yard!
- Tell your pothead friends, hey, I have some grass at my place, wanna smoke? And then they'll all come over and you'll point to the sod and say, "There's the grass, suckas!"
- Too lazy to pick up your animal's poop? Cover it with some sod! No one will ever know!
- Winter got you down? Need to hold on to some semblance of spring before Seasonal Affective Disorder drives you madder than your drunken stepmom? Just lay down some sod on that mound of snow and feel your crushing depression melt away!
The possibilities are endless! Believe me - I cut 20 different scenarios from this ad to save you time!
In short, this sod will rock your socks off, and sock your rocks off. I have no idea what that means.
So won't you come take it, this sod we don't know what to do with? We just laid it down this past Friday, so it's still fresh. It's free - FREE! - you just have to cart it away. What you do with it then is your business. (But if you are recreating Midsummer Night's Dream, you should tell us, we're a skilled troupe).

This film was also reviewed as Return of the Vampire. Although a Hollywood Reporter production chart places Michael Duane in the cast, his participation in the released film has not been confirmed. The film marked actress Nina Foch's screen debut. According to a modern source, Columbia was unable to refer to the vampire as "Dracula" because Universal owned the rights to that name.

Cyber-Physical Security and Privacy
Joint special issue with IEEE Intelligent Systems
Final submissions due: 14 January 2016
Publication issue: September/October 2016
Please email the guest editors a brief description of the article you plan to submit by 14 December 2015.
Guest editors: Bruno Crispo and Alvaro Cardenas (email@example.com)
Cyber-physical systems (CPS) integrate computing and communication capabilities with monitoring and control of entities in the physical world. These systems are usually composed by a set of networked agents, including sensors, actuators, control processing units, and communication devices. While some forms of CPS are already in use, the widespread growth of wireless embedded sensors and actuators is creating several new applications — in areas such as medical devices, automotive, and smart infrastructure — and increasing the role that the information infrastructure plays in existing control systems — such as in the process control industry or the power grid.
Many CPS applications are safety-critical: their failure can cause irreparable harm to the physical system under control and to the people who depend on it. In particular, the protection of our critical infrastructures that rely on CPS, such as the electric power transmission and distribution, industrial control systems, oil and natural gas systems, water and waste-water treatment plants, healthcare devices, and transportation networks play a fundamental and large-scale role in our society — and their disruption can have a significant impact to individuals, and nations at large.
Similarly, because many CPS systems collect sensor data non-intrusively, users of these systems are often unaware of their exposure. Therefore in addition to security, CPS systems must be designed with privacy considerations.
To address some of these issues, we invite original research papers on the security and/or privacy of cyber-physical systems. We seek submissions from multiple interdisciplinary backgrounds representative of CPS, including but not limited to the following:
- intrusion detection for CPS;
- privacy in CPS;
- network security for CPS;
- control theory to enable resilient and secure CPS;
- embedded systems and IoT security and privacy;
- real-time systems;
- game theory applied to CPS;
- human factors and humans in the loop;
- reliability and safety; and
- economics of security and privacy in CPS.
CPS domains of interest include
- manufacturing;
- industrial control systems;
- Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems;
- power grid and smart grid;
- robotics;
- unmanned aerial vehicles;
- transportation systems;
- healthcare and medical devices;
- automotive; and
- abstract theoretical CPS domains that involve sensing and actuation.
Also of interest will be papers that can point the research community to new research directions that set research agendas and priorities in CPS security.
Submission Guidelines
All submissions must be original manuscripts of fewer than 5,000 words, focused on Internet technologies and implementations. All manuscripts are subject to peer review on both technical merit and relevance to IC's international readership — primarily practicing engineers and academics who are looking for material that introduces new technology and broadens familiarity with current topics. We do not accept white papers, and papers which are primarily theoretical or mathematical must clearly relate the mathematical content to a real-life or engineering application. To submit a manuscript, please log on to ScholarOne (https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com:443/ic-cs) to create or access an account, which you can use to log on to IC's Author Center and upload your submission.

Sister concepts -- Lucille's Smokehouse BBQ, Hof's Hut and the soon-to-be open Lucille's Rib Shack -- have been busy tweaking menus and getting on board the social media bandwagon.
Here's the latest updates from all three restaurants:
Lucille's Rib Shack
The fast-casual "mini" Lucille's barbecue joint is slated to open Nov. 1. Construction crews are in the middle of a top-to-bottom remodel of the old Hof's Hut building in Orange. That restaurant closed in August to make way for the Rib Shack, which will offer a limited version of the barbecue dishes found at Lucille's.
[caption id="attachment_35849" align="alignright" width="150" caption="The old Hof's Hut in Orange has been gutted to make room for Lucille's Rib Shack"][/caption]
The eatery recently launched a Facebook fan page and is taking applications for various jobs, including hostess,� cashier, expediter, wiper,� line cook,� prep cook and dishwasher.
Address: 4050 W. Chapman Ave. in Orange
Lucille's Smokehouse BBQ
Three weeks ago, the popular family 'cue chain added a Kids Eat Free night.� The deal is valid for kids 12 and under every Tuesday with the purchase of an adult entrée. Lucille's recently launched a fan page on Facebook.
(More: Kids Eat Free in O.C. listing)
Hof's Hut
The family dining chain added a Kids Eat Free program on Wednesdays with the purchase of an adult entrée. The deal, which launched two weeks ago,� is good for kids 10 and under.
[caption id="attachment_35847" align="alignright" width="150" caption="Red Velvet Cake"][/caption]
Following the cheap fixed-priced meal trend, the chain has also added a $19.99 three-course meal for two to its menu. The bakery is now selling Red Velvet Cakes, and is offering $5 off any whole pies or cheesecakes and $10 off any whole cakes. Hoft's Hut is also on Facebook.

Selfportrait XII -Try Lobotomy by myownselfWatch
©2003-2016 myownself
Application of frontal lobotomy in treatment of various mental disorders has lead Egaz Moniz to his Nobel Prize while to many psychotic people it meant the reduced ability to respond emotionally and/or intellectually. Sounds like a charm song and a panacea for all mental illnesses. Now, when we have non-sedating tranquilizers, lobotomy, I believe, is rarely performed, if ever. But if you feel anxious or depressed, obsessive-compulsive or just a bit upset and tired - pick a simple ice-pick, insert it to your nose and bang on it with a hammer. Try Lobotomy! Satisfaction Guaranteed!
Sculpture-like... and appetizing, in a strange way.
I remember this one from your site. It was one of my very favorites

Really interesting, reminds me of Tool as well, but has it's own uniqueness to it. Good work
reminds me a bit of the Tool music video for Stinkfist. the texture has that "second-skin" feel and look to it.

Additional profile information on Alfred Thompson at Google+
Leadership Day is a project started by Scott McLeod and is now in its fourth year. The idea is for people to "blog about whatever you like related to effective school technology leadership: successes, challenges, reflections, needs, wants, resources, ideas, etc." This is something I have thought about participating in for several years but for one reason or other never gotten to actually do it. This year I thought I really had to because I really do have thoughts about school technology leadership. So here they are:
School Technology Leaders Lead They lead by example. Back when I was a technology coordinator for a private high school I ran learning sessions for teachers called "Technology Tuesdays." The headmaster showed up at several of these sessions. He was aware that he, like many in education from superintendents to teachers to Para professionals, needed to know more about technology and took steps to learn. He realized that teachers would follow his example and so that he had to not only encourage the use of technology and professional development but he had to lead by example. So he learned and he used technology. If leaders don't become lifelong technology users and active technology users they can't expect teachers to do so. Do as I say not as I do doesn't work any better for educational leaders than it does for parents.
School Technology Leaders Remember Who The Boss Is You would not believe how many times I have heard from a Principal or even a superintendent of schools "I'd like to do that but my tech support people will not let me." Astounding. Too many school leaders are willing to subsume their goals to those of the tech support people. I am reminded of a quote attributed to J P Morgan "I don't hire lawyers to tell me what I can't do. I hire lawyers to tell me how I can do what I want." The equivalent is that school technology leaders, who want to really BE leaders, need to hire, train and encourage technology support people who can tell them how they can do what they want rather than what they can and cannot do. For technology to be the learning tool that it can be it has to enable teachers, enable students, and yes, enable administrators to do new and better things. Sure it is easy to lock things down tightly but too often we miss teaching moments because of this.
School Technology Leaders Know When to Say Yes Suppose you had students who were willing to spend their own money to buy a computer several times more powerful than the one that controlled the Apollo lunar lander. Would you let them use it for educational purposes? Or would you ban them from the building? I am of course talking about smart phones. They can of course be a distraction. But if teachers are willing to deal with the classroom management issues to take advantage of these tools do you say yes or quote policy and say no? If teachers want to bring new technology into the classroom like wikis, blogs, Twitter, web pages or other tools that (shudder) take education beyond the four walls of the classroom is the answer an automatic no or is there a fair discussion and an intelligent choice that often results in a yes? I saw some amazing projects at the Partners in Learning 2011 U.S. Innovative Education Forum that had students from all age groups learning from peers in other countries. Students in remote rural areas getting to understand other parts of the country and the world as real places with real people. Would you say yes to that sort of experience.
School Technology Leaders Are Always Learning We'd never accept "I'm just no good at Math" or English from a teacher. We also expect more from those who would be leaders. The best teachers, administrators, the people who are and who remain leaders are constantly learning. There are learning opportunities for learning for administrators. There are of course educational conferences but there are other options as well. Microsoft offers various leadership training opportunities. So do other companies. Sure they are product heavy in some ways but they also offer great networking opportunities and the chances to learn concepts with general applicability.
Basically school technology leaders don't just let things happen. They seek out opportunities, they learn new things, they trust their leading teachers, they take advice from their tech support people but not orders from them – in short they lead.
I'm a huge fan of the FIRST organization and their robotics programs at various education levels. So I thought it might be a good idea to pass along this announcement. Most of us know that STEM – Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math are cool, fun and exciting. A lot of students don't know this. The hope is that this special will help show kids, and adults, that what we know is actually real.

Check out FIRST on:
Recently a friend of mine, Vicki Davis, received a pre-publication copy of the new book by Kevin Mitnick the famous cracker. Vicki wrote here review of the book at Ghost in the Wires: Kevin Mitnick's memoir. She found the book disturbing. BTW I refuse to call him a hacker because that is in many ways a term of respect. I don't have any respect for the things Mitnick did to gain access to computers. What he did was to lie often and effectively to gain access to computers that did not belong to him. He's a great liar – not something that engenders respect in my opinion. Most of what you hear and read about Mitnick comes from his own words. Someone who is both a convicted and admitted liar. There is a word for people who believe Mitnick and it is not a compliment. What you seldom hear are the stories of people whose computers he broke into. Well that changes now.
Are crackers harmless? Not really. I was a software developer some years ago working on a system called The Ark that was broken into. Unfortunately it was accessed during a time when the disk that held the source code for the operating system we were working on had read/write access. Now the hacker claimed that they didn't change anything. So harmless right? Someone lies repeatedly to gain access to a computer. Time after time they tell falsehood after falsehood and now, after they are caught we should believe what they say? Does that sound as foolish to you as it does to me? Fans of Mitnick and others like him find that reasonable. On the other hand for the development team I was on this seemed a bit risky. After all this system would be used by hundreds of thousands of people, perhaps millions of people, all over the world. Major banks would be trusting it to be secure and safe. So we should just trust a serious liar that he left things alone? That was something that seemed unreasonable to us. So what did we do?
For a month approximately 70 people scoured the source code line by line. It was compared to developer notes, personal backups, old listings, read line by line and verified by every means we could think of. Seventy man months shot. The release of the software was delayed meaning lost opportunity costs. The lost productivity was measured, conservatively at hundreds of thousands of dollars. That is real harm. But there is more.
Have you ever had your home or car broken into? Know any one who has? It takes an emotional toll. It makes one feel violated. Having your development computer broken into leaves one much the same way. Thirty years later it still upsets me to remember that feeling of violation. People who break into other people's computers are violating people's personal spaces. They are taking an emotional toll beyond and different from ay financial toll. How would you feel finding out that someone your didn't know was looking all through your personal files and projects? And then there are the people who were tricked, people who just wanted to be helpful and fell for the lies of someone out to prove how smart they are. How must those people feel knowing that they inadvertently let the wolf into the henhouse? Reportedly Mitnick names those people in his book. How can anyone see that as anything but twisting the knife that these people have been living with in their backs for years. "Changed people" don't do that so if you think Mitnick is somehow changed for the better clearly you don't base that on his book.
I know that a lot of people respect Mitnick – I don't understand them but perhaps it is because they don't really understand what Mitnick and others like him did. And what they continue to do today.

Article Summary
When Amazon announced its plan to use drones for home deliveries, a lot of people were quick to point out the huge logistical challenges involved. Among those is the fact that a multicopter's limited battery range would make it rather difficult for just one or two Amazon warehouses to serve an entire city. A team from the University of Cincinnati and AMP Electric Vehicles, however, may have a solution. They've created an octocopter that could make short flights from a traveling delivery van, using that van as a mobile charging station and package depot.

The King"My dear, would you like a drink?" He asked, his voice sends chills down my back. I've never really cared for a Scottish accent but him. He is different. I look at him and nod. He smiled, "Good, I'd hate to share this with anyone but you," He gets two glasses, pours the burgundy color liquid in each glass. He offers one to me, I take it. He then snaps his fingers and the fireplace lights up. As the flames start to warm the room on this chilly fall night, we sit on the floral couch in silence. He looks at me. "Now love, what's your name?"The King3 years ago in Short Stories More Like This
"_______" I say nervously.
"What a beautiful name for a beautiful woman," I look at him, blush and look at the buttons on my coat, and examine the threads like they were the most important thing in the world. I always do that when I'm nervous. He put his hand under my chin and tilted my head up so he could see my face. "Darling, you shouldn't look down. Then I can't see your beautiful face." I smile and blush again. For the King of Hell, he

There's no doubt about it. Pleo, the robotic dinosaur from UGOBE, is an amazing creation. It's movements, actions, and reactions, are surprisingly realistic and lifelike - when it has its skin on.
It's August already, and the ramp-up for the holiday buying season is already well underway. Manufacturers are racing to get their products into the supply chain so that they can fill the shelves at WalMart, Target, and all the other major retailers as customers begin their annual Christmas buying spree. For most manufacturers, especially those in the toy end of the market, the holidays are a do or die proposition. That appears to be especially true for Pleo.
To prime the pump and get the 'Pleo Buzz' going, UGOBE has been sending out a series of newsletters and posting new videos (see below) about Pleo online every two weeks. Their latest newsletter was titled "Sneak Peek into Pleo" and provided an interesting look behind the UGOBE curtain.
For some reason the UGOBE folks seem intent on continually showing off what Pleo looks like underneath his dinosaur skin. The engineers, geeks, nerds, and technologists - including ourselves - are definitely impressed, but after a while it starts to feel like they want to push their egos and creative talent out in front of Pleo itself.
One of UGOBE's three laws of robotics is that their creations have to be able to express emotions. The ability to generate an empathetic response from their owner, to 'bond' with them, will be critical to Pleo's success.
But what if Pleo is capable of communicating more emotion than its human counterparts? That thought occurred to us as we watched Bob Christopher, UGOBE's CEO talking about, and being totally upstaged by, Pleo in this video (note: to see the entire video you have to go to the PleoWorld website):
The second video in the series gives a quick tour behind the scenes at UGOBE, and introduces the key engineers, developers, and designers. One thing that really struck us was the fact that they actually have personality designers - a great concept. Human beings have 'personality designers' too, only we call them parents, teachers, drill sergeants, bosses, and spouses... And, our personality development is much more ad hoc and chaotic.
We have to wonder if Pleo will fair any better in the real world. Perhaps by this time next year there'll be a significant market demand for Pleo pyschotherapy and and counciling. There may even be Pleo 12-step programs...
The key point about 'magic' is simply that it is 'magic'. When the magician shows you how it's actually done, then it stops being 'magic'. Remember how magical the Wizard was in the Wizard of Oz, until little Toto pulled back the curtain disclosing the actual wizard throwing the levers and speaking into the microphone?
If they take all the 'magic' out of the Pleo experience, then what's left? A bunch of plastic, servo motors, sensors, batteries, and sophisticated programing. That's still a lot to be proud of, of course. But for us the real key to the success or failure of Pleo in the market will be whether or not it is 'magical'. Babies are magical. Puppies and kittens are magical. Vacuum cleaners, even when they are blessed with state of the art AI technology, are vacuum cleaners - not magic.
Let's hope that UGOBE finds a way to keep Pleo magical...

Publisher's Description
The Call continues to stand as a classic, reflective work on life's purpose. Best-selling author Os Guinness goes beyond our surface understanding of God's call and addresses the fact that God has a specific calling for our individual lives.
Why am I here? What is God's call in my life? How do I fit God's call with my own individuality? How should God's calling affect my career, my plans for the future, my concepts of success? Guinness now helps the reader discover answers to these questions, and more, through a corresponding workbook - perfect for individual or group study.
According to Guinness, "No idea short of God's call can ground and fulfill the truest human desire for purpose and fulfillment." With tens of thousands of readers to date, The Call is for all who desire a purposeful, intentional life of faith.
Also availbale in audio format, narrated by Os Guinness.

There is an audience of one that we should concerned about. And that "One" is God. He is the "Caller" and we are the "called." Os Guinness is an excellent man of God. I very much recommend this book. It is not a self help book, but a book that will make you realize that God is the one that we all need.
Chris White5 Stars Out Of 5June 13, 2008Chris WhiteA great book and I learned a ton from his incredibly well versed literary and historical knowledge and examples used in his book. Does a great job giving a picture for each topic he describes before diving into it. Only knock is that I wish he had more scripture throughout the book, but the middle and towards the end are GOLD for a person's faith. Great practical mind towards our living for God and our using of our gifts.
David Medina5 Stars Out Of 5September 2, 2004David MedinaOne of the best books I have read in a long, long time. Outstanding! It deals with the subject of christian calling from a refreshing point of view. Profound but very undertsandable, it does not depend of worn out cliches and it is very real. Read it if you want to be face with the Biblical reality of God's calling for your life.

That's offered for an unlimited number of strings by MS Word. That isn't free, of course, but if your question is about word processing and you already have that program, you wouldn't need anything else. I didn't check other word processors such as LibreOffice.
It's different if you want it to work in, say, Notepad and the command processor also. But without the context of your question I don't know if that's the case.
I'm looking for a program that lets you define short key combinations for long words or numbers; e.g., when you press zzk the word kleptomaniac is automatically typed if you've defined that combination. I'm now using Keyboard Booster. It has some flaws but isn't bad. However, the free version only allows 15 combinations. Does anyone know of a free downloadable one? I've searched but can't find anything. I'm running Windows XP sp3 on an HP desktop microtower.
BTW, the search link in the welcome post doesn't seem to work.
