Danks leads White Sox over Royals 6-3
Saturday, September 24, 2011
CHICAGO (AP) — Alex Rios and Brent Morel homered to back John Danks and lead the White Sox over the Kansas City Royals 6-3 Saturday night, stopping Chicago's five-game home losing streak.
Danks (8-12) improved to 5-0 in 12 starts against the Royals, allowing three runs and six hits in 7 1-3 innings. He retired his first 14 batters before Salvador Perez's fifth-inning single.
Rios had three hits, including a a two-run homer in the second and a leadoff triple in the eighth. Morel's homer was his 10th of the season, including eight in September.
While Chicago won for just the fourth time in 14 games, the Royals lost for the third time in their last 12. At 77-81, the White Sox need to win their remaining games to avoid their third losing season in eight years under manager Ozzie Guillen.
Chicago's Adam Dunn went 0 for 3 with a walk, leaving him with a .162 batting average. He has 485 plate appearances and needs 17 in the team's last four games to become an official qualifier. The post-1900 record for lowest batting average by a qualifier is .179 by Detroit's Rob Deer in 1991, according to STATS LLC.
Everett Teaford (3-0) allowed five runs and six hits in five innings after giving up one run in 11 innings during his first two major league starts.
Melky Cabrera had a two-run double and two hits, reaching 199 for the season.
Teaford walked three in the four-run second, when Rios homered, Juan Pierre walked with the bases full and Alexei Ramirez hit a sacrifice fly.
Morel homered leading off the fourth. His second-inning walk was his 15th of September — he had just seven this year before then.
Cabrera's 44th double of the season drove in two runs in the sixth, and Hosmer's RBI single cut the deficit to 5-3.
NOTES: Alex Gordon was back with the Royals after spending Friday's game at the team's hotel because of flu-like symptoms. He was expected to play on Sunday. ... Gavin Floyd will take the mound for the White Sox in Sunday's series finale, looking to improve upon his 3-7 mark against Kansas City. The Royals will counter with Luis Mendoza, who allowed one run in seven innings Tuesday in his first big league start of the season.

Indiana University-Purdue University Columbus will begin a diverse speaker series this month that school officials say is designed to expose students to world-class leaders on social issues.
Dubbed the Excellence in Leadership Initiative Speaker Series, the program aims to address twin goals of increasing diversity initiatives on campus and inspiring students to give back to communities in creative ways throughout their lives.
Speakers include:
Molly Barker, founder of Girls on the Run International, which aims to boost the self-image of girls in Grades 3 to 8.
Parvez Sharma, an Indian-born filmmaker and gay Muslim who has campaigned for acceptance of gay and lesbian Muslims in Islamic countries.
Ugandan refugee Derreck Kayongo, who fled civil war in his homeland at age 10 and, as an adult, created the Global Soap Project, an Atlanta-based nonprofit that promotes health in under-
developed parts of the world.
Sandra Miles, director of student affairs at IUPUC, said the leadership series for the 2013-14 school year is oriented more toward social issues than similar programs presented at the IUPUC campus in the past.
"This really is the first time we're bringing in national and international speakers," said Miles, who is starting her third year as head of student affairs.
The speaker series also ties in with a broader program that awards students certificates in leadership if they become involved in community service projects and maintain at least a 2.5 grade-point average.
Miles said this year's speaker series attempts to match similar programs at larger universities that bring in big names from the corporate, political and nonprofit worlds to address students.
For instance, Barker will speak at IUPUC at 11 a.m. Sept. 30 and then head to the Indiana University campus in Bloomington for an appearance that evening.
"Part of our goal with the series is to show successful philanthropists doing great things," Miles said.
Attendance at the events will help IUPUC students qualify for a special leadership certificate, which also is designed to increase their involvement in student organizations and various service-oriented programs.
To successfully complete the leadership program, students must attend five guest lectures or leadership workshops, complete at least three credit hours focused on leadership, partner with a faculty member for leadership mentoring and meet other requirements involving community service, internships or on-campus projects.
The series will run late September through mid-February.

As far as I understand this problem (in other words, not much), the problem is that there are properties involved in the object hierarchy. Tab completing calls the getters. I suspect the getters are not being called in the UI event loop, and as a result, some race condition kicks in. Of course all of this is speculative, but AFAIK the problems don't happen if you run ipython in thread-less mode. I hope this information helps the core ipython team narrowing down the problem.

The remnants of Tropical Depression Barry helped replenish a bit of North Carolina's water table and add some green to dry foliage over the weekend.
But weather officials say much more rain is needed to improve drought conditions across the state.
Brandon Locklear is a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Raleigh. He says the storm brought a steady rain so the ground was able to absorb a lot of it without much runoff.
Local government officials have taken water conservation measures to help offset drought conditions affecting more than three-fourths of the state. The worst of it is in the mountains.
But western North Carolina received the smallest benefit from the weekend storm, with barely any rainfall recorded in Asheville.
Some good news though: More showers are expected in the coming

Reduce halts to gain speed on Mumbai local trains, say experts
Cyclic timetable appears to be a well-tested scientific tool of timetable planning which has benefitted many countries in their public transport operations. It can also be used successfully on Mumbai's vast suburban rail network
Rajaram Bojji, former managing director of Konkan Railway and inventor of the anti-collision device (ACD) has supported the cyclic timetable (CTT) concept for suburban (local) trains in Mumbai. In an email, Mr Bojji said, "I remember for Skybus too, I had proposed a similar concept of running to keep average speeds higher. The halt time makes a difference to the average speed actually. Less halts, more average speed."
Several activists have been requesting the Railways to follow the cyclic timetable on Mumbai's vast rail network. After doing research and due diligence for years, Dipak Gandhi, chairman of the Mumbai Suburban Railway Passenger Association (MSRPA), and his colleagues have proposed a cyclic timetable, which they feel can reduce the passenger load on each local train by about 30% to 40% and also cut the travel time by 20% to 25% for long-distance commuters. Cyclic timetable also makes it possible to introduce 30% more services with the same number of rakes and tracks through super-fast and sector-wise services.
A simple mathematical analysis done by Mr Bojji or B Rajaram, as he is famously known, also shows that use of cyclic timetable can reduce the turnaround time for a local train by around 30% as well as waiting period for a commuter. He said, "A commuter has to wait, skipping a train to board the right one. To some extent, the railway platform may carry a little extra number of passengers. Maybe it is better than crowding the train. There are other factors like percentage failure of signals, track conditions and maintenance speed restrictions, the unauthorised slums crowding the track sides forcing motormen to drive cautiously, which may deny the benefit. However, the idea is worth trying."
Here is the analysis given by Mr Bojji...
The suburban railway system in Mumbai is the most complex, densely loaded and intensively utilised system in the world and has the highest passenger density in the world—69 lakh commuters travel every day. Specifically, a nine-car rake carries over 5,000 passengers against its carrying capacity of 1,700, which leads to unbearably overcrowded trains during peak hours. Traditional approaches of increasing capacity by increasing the number of coaches in rakes have not resulted in significant improvement in the problem of overcrowding. The situation is further aggravated with frequent delays and uneven frequency of trains.
"The basic wishes of any railway customer are fairly simple; he or she wants to travel fast and comfortably for a reasonable price. Furthermore, railway services should be transparent and reliable to provide a choice of service and comfort levels," said Mr Gandhi.
The Railways today is in a position to give not only safe but also speedy and comfortable rides to all its commuters from tomorrow, only if it redesigns its suburban timetable as per principles of timetable construction laid down under the Indian Railways Act and its rules—and in conformity with today's traffic needs, Mr Gandhi added.
Cyclic timetable as the name suggests is a timetable, which repeats itself after a fixed duration. A key feature of this timetable is that commuters do not have to memorise the whole timetable. All that they need to remember is the cycle time at which a train repeats itself; thus, if the cycle time is 12 minutes then even if someone has missed his train he knows that he will have to wait a maximum of 12 minutes to catch the next train.
Here is a sample time table developed by the MSRPA...
(Two Fast Services for VR Sector & One MX-VR Shuffle)
This timetable works on four basic principles.
The first principle of CTT states that all the services will have to repeat in a cyclic pattern. In the above table in case of the fast corridor Virar service, after the first service at 17:00 the next will be at 17:12—a gap of 12 minutes. Similarly all the other services will be repeated after a duration of every 12 minutes.
The second principle is Uniform Frequency: this is one of the most important principles on which CTT is based. According to this principle, if the frequency of the train services is uniform it will clearly help to segregate the demand by dividing the commuter traffic evenly in peak hours which is a basic necessity in order to reduce the level of overcrowding and thus the risk of accidents.
The third principle on which CTT works is; Dedicated Sector Wise Clearing as part of which the railway network is divided into various sectors, which are defined on the basis of passenger demand. In any sector a limited number of stations are served and not all the stations overlap or repeat in other sectors. Limited halts ensure that the rakes turn around faster leading to increased services.
Thus, currently, a Virar fast train starts from Churchgate and gets completely filled by the time it reaches Bandra. It then goes on to stop at Andheri and Borivali where there are already a number of people waiting to get in and only a few getting down. This leads to unbearably overcrowded situations and threat to the lives of those who are leaning outside the train. This is a daily pattern.
As per the specimen cyclical timetable illustrated above, the timetable is designed in such a manner that a fast train in the Virar sector would not stop at Andheri and Borivali ensuring that commuters from Churchgate would reach their destinations faster. It would also ensure that the same rake is available faster for a turnaround and can transport more commuters. In this time table commuters of Andheri and Borivali have no choice but to avoid a Virar train. In between stations would be served by other fast and slow services running for other sectors.
The fourth feature of CTT is Limited Loading: A cyclical timetable is made on par with Section (57) of the Railway Act 1989, according to which railway administration shall fix the maximum number of passengers, which may be carried in each compartment. Unlike the current overcrowded conditions CTT emphasises on limited loading by sequencing the services in such a way that it serves few stations with every service thus distributing passenger load evenly, resulting in limited loading.
According to MSRPA, the CTT, if implemented, would increase the services by 30% using the same number of rakes and railway tracks through super-fast and sector-wise services. It will also reduce overcrowding by 30% to 40% and may help in curbing accidents. Most importantly, CTT can be implemented without much additional cost.
Currently, several countries like the Netherlands, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, the UK, Norway and Switzerland use CTT for their railway networks. In the Czech Republic, the CTT was implemented during 2004-05 and increased the railway services by 7% in the first year itself. Later it went to 15% during 2007-08 and the railway operations in that country have now achieved stability in services.
While ideas like CTT or ACD sound like a magic wand, history tells us that when it comes to applying indigenous solutions, the Indian Railways and their babus are not the best. Ask Mr Bojji, he is still waiting for the ACDs to see light of day. The biggest sorry mistake is the patent for ACDs is held by none other than the Indian Railways itself and yet the babus don't want to implement it for reasons known only to them.

I have been a frequent visitor to Mumbai and as far as the suburban railway service is concerned the only thing the managers seem to have been able to do is to increase the frequency of the services. In fact on the harbour line they have not even been able to introduce fast trains or provide direct links to places beyond Andheri on the Western Railways! People need to think creatively or atleast listen to people offering creative solutions!

Sensible proposals - hope they are implemented.
The 2012 Indian Railway Budget has been very good for Mumbai city. In addition to 75 new train services, there are concrete infrastructure proposals for the long term viability of suburban local railways in Bombay.
Hope these proposals can be implemented. I guess a lot depends not on the railway minister, but Mamta Banarjee.

Introducing CTT is a welcome idea. Another way of increasing available capacity on the Mumbai suburban section is creating a new terminus at Dadar. Between CR Sion & Parel and WR Mahim & Elphistone a huge tract of land is available which is currently used for recreation centre, offices, guest houses etc. All upcountry trains be terminated at this Teminus and tracks released between Dadar & CST/ Bombay Central be converted to suburban tracks. Local trains from Dadar be run in both directions on CR & WR from the new terminus and meet incoming passenger as well as commuter demands. The current activities on the land such as a work-shop, recreation centre, guest houses be relocated.
End use of land will be better and a common terminus will serve Mumbai better. Most up country trains have hardly 10% of residual passengers.

Something needs to be done, and very soon, about commuting in and around Mumbai. Train timetables are one important part of the solution. Best of luck.
Maybe city planners can try to take some examples from Delhi, where there are no fast/slow services on the Metro trains as well as EMUs, but they do have "short services" for partial routes in the middle to assist in reducing the problem for people trying to board from stations en route.
In addition, entry to the platforms is also regulated, and also boarding is denied/blocked if the train is over-loaded and some space is planned for the next stations - this may not be possible in the open station at Mumbai method.
Anyways, good luck, Mumbai deserves a better transport system. From being one of the best in the world to now somewhere at the bottom.

May 13, 2011 — A TV broadcast on Al Jazeera English's "NEWSHOUR" program features an interview with Kim McQuay on the recent escalation of violence in Thailand's southern provinces. McQuay highlights findings in The Asia Foundation's 2010 Democracy and Conflict in Southern Thailand: A Survey of the Thai Electorate in Yala, Narathiwas, and Pattani. "Some of the [survey] findings that emerged were quite striking. There's no doubt that at the poles of the extremist movements there are very strong views. But amongst the population at large, the view that seemed to come across was characterizing the conflict…as one for recognition by the Thai state, recognizing the unique cultural circumstances of the Pattani Malay people…rather than the independence struggle as it's portrayed in some quarters," says McQuay. The segment aired on Thursday, May 12, 2011 at 5:00 p.m. (Bangkok time).

2011 Ducati Motorcycle
The smallest of the Ducati Monster line, the 696 presents itself as a bike willing to accommodate new riders, as well as those returning to the fold after an absence from two-wheeling.
Power develops in a predictable manner, but the Desmodromic motor has a short stroke and is capable of producing 80 horsepower at 9000 rpm.
2011 Yamaha Star Motorcycles
There is only one Star Stratoliner for 2011, but it's Deluxe.That means you get a fork-mounted fairing that houses an iPod-ready stereo system.
The combination of a stout, lightweight aluminum frame and an air-cooled, pushrod, 113 cubic inch powerplant, means the Stratoliner is a satisfying ride, in both power and handling.
MV Agusta Motorcycle
The newest MV Agusta F4 is sleeker and even prettier than its predecessor, while the stiff ride, difficult brakes, and fuel mapping that courted calamity are gone.
Still breathtakingly quick, the F4 has also lost 22 pounds, gained a slipper clutch and traction control and become one of the easiest, most responsive performers in the class.
2011 Kawasaki Motorcycle
Full-scale adventure bikes like the BMW R 1200 GS can be quite intimidating, so Kawasaki's Versys is a friendly way to introduce yourself to that genre.
For shorter riders the 33.3-inch seat height may give pause, but if you can hold the bike up at a stop, you'll find everything else about it agreeable.
2011 Ducati Motorcycle
When it comes to blitzing concrete urban canyons or the tightest back roads you can find, nothing beats the supermoto concept, which brings dirt biking to street riding.
The Ducati Hypermotard 1100 EVO SP ramps up the supermoto idea by giving the chassis 95 horsepower to work with and 80 ft/lbs of torque.
2011 BMW Motorcycle
To many, the BMW R 1200 RT is the gold standard for sport touring, offering a classic air-cooled boxer twin design that has decades-old roots.
The standard 2011 BMW RT has a few updates, including Integral ABS, a centerstand, and new turn signals.
2011 Star Motorcycle
Star's Royal Star Venture S is nothing new, but that doesn't stop it from being a fine old-school metric touring cruiser.
Powered by a 79 cubic inch V-4 motor that made its name in the original V-Max, the Venture S cranks out almost 100 horsepower and 89 ft/lbs of torque.
2011 Indian Motorcycle
Indian's cleanly designed 2011 bagger, the Chief Roadmaster, is meant to master the road with its luxury touring seat and saddlebags (both available with or without fringe), 5.5-gallon fuel tank, Brembo brakes, quick-release windshield (for those non-touring rides), and the air-cooled pushrod powerplant that is solidly mounted.
2011 Triumph Motorcycle
Triumph has upgraded the America for 2011, giving it a new look to go with the unique sound produced by the 270-degree firing parallel twin.
Displacing a relatively small 850cc, the 60 horsepower engine has plenty of grunt to acquit itself nicely on any public road.
2011 KTM Motorcycle
The 2011 KTM 990 SM R is a high-performance supermoto machine that just happens to be an outstanding and versatile street bike.
2011 Kawasaki Motorcycle
For 2011, Kawasaki completely redesigned its flagship and have made it smaller, lighter, and considerably more powerful.
2011 BMW Motorcycle
Sleek and powerful, the BMW K 1300 S's inline-four cylinder motor outputs a considerable 175 horsepower (claimed).
BMW's superb quick-shifter now aids the six-speed gearbox, and the second-generation electronically adjustable (on-the-fly) suspension makes a noticeable difference in varying road conditions aboard the K1300S.
2011 Ducati Motorcycle
Powered by a (claimed) 150 horsepower L-twin that grinds out 87.5 ft/ lbs of torque, the 2011 Ducati S Touring version of the Multistrada comes equipped with the high-end Ducati Electronic Suspension by Öhlins you demand.

What is the purpose of MobileXpression?
The goal of MobileXpression is to develop a better understanding of the trends and patterns affecting the mobile Internet. Just as television uses ratings to determine which programs are the highest rated and most watched, MobileXpression uses the knowledge of its members' mobile Internet habits to determine the popularity and importance of various mobile web sites and applications. Companies can then use this market research to make informed decisions regarding their mobile marketing strategies.
Who can join MobileXpression?
All participants in MobileXpression must be at least 18 years of age and capable of entering into a binding agreement. You must also own or control a mobile phone or device that is compatible with the MobileXpression software and you must be able to access the Internet from your mobile device.
I only access the Internet from my mobile device occasionally. Can I still participate?
Yes, in order to accurately monitor mobile Internet trends, it's important that all types of users participate in MobileXpression. As long as you have the ability to access the Internet from your phone, you are eligible to join the research panel and receive its member benefits.
I checked my eligibility for MobileXpression and it says that my phone is not currently compatible. When will I be able to participate?
We are continually working to add more types of phones to our list of compatible devices. If you checked "yes" to receive notification when your phone is compatible, we will contact you as soon as you are eligible to participate.
Why do you need my demographic information?
All of our reports are aggregated across many participating mobile phone consumers. We collect basic demographic information, like age, gender, education level, etc., so that we can describe the type of people who have different preferences and opinions about mobile communications on their mobile devices without revealing any personally identifiable information. We also use this demographic information in our statistical projections to all mobile phone users. For example, information collected and aggregated from men age 25-34 in our panel is extrapolated to describe the preferences and opinions of all men age 25-34 in the US mobile phone user population.
Does your software monitor my phone calls?
No, our research software does not monitor your phone calls, nor does it record the phone numbers that you call or that call your phone. We never record or monitor your private conversations or voice mail messages.
What does your research software do?
MobileXpression records and collects information about participants' mobile phone data usage via an app, or if you're using an iPhone, through a VPN connection. This may include messaging services, mobile web browsing activity, usage and titles of downloaded applications and files as well as usage of cameras, video streaming and other utilities on the mobile device. The software may also collect information regarding the web pages you view, the links you access, and usage times for certain device activities (e.g., text messaging, call lengths, and web browsing).
Maintaining our panel members' privacy is our number one priority. Therefore, we do not collect or view the text or other personal content in any of our panel members files including the actual content of text, email or instant messages, image files either downloaded or captured via the camera on a phone, or contact, address book or calendar entries saved on the phone.
How much space or memory does your software require?
For RIM, Android, and Windows Mobile users, the memory requirement for the phone will vary depending on the phone model and version of the software. Generally, however, it requires less than 100KB of memory to store the research software and 128KB to store the collected data before it is encrypted and securely sent to the MobileXpression servers. For iPhone users, the memory requirements are minimal for the configuration file and related VPN modules.
Will the MobileXpression software affect my phone's performance?
For RIM, Android, and Windows Mobile users, the MobileXpression software should have no impact on the phone's performance.
For iPhone users, you may notice a very small delay when connecting to the Internet as the VPN connects, but after that, Internet speed will not be affected. Additionally, some applications, such as the HBO Go and Cinemax Go apps, are incompatible with VPN settings and thus will not be compatible with the MobileXpression software.
Why do I have to install software on my mobile phone?
In order to make the process of collecting your mobile phone usage data simple and highly accurate, MobileXpression has developed proprietary research software that is easy to install on your mobile phone. Participation in other types of consumer research among mobile phone users may require participants to complete long surveys or telephone interviews about their preferences, or to share their mobile phone billing statements. However, by installing the MobileXpression research software on your phone, you can participate without any inconvenience. And, using the research software, the collection of mobile consumer preferences is both highly accurate and fast, allowing your opinions to be heard quickly by today's mobile services decision makers.
How long do I have to participate?
Participation in MobileXpression's community is voluntary. Should you ever decide to stop participating, you may do so at any time. Simply follow our uninstall instructions to cancel your participation.
Will participating in MobileXpression cost me anything?
For RIM, Android, Windows Mobile, and Palm users: Depending on your data and messaging plan, you may or may not incur additional charges by participating in MobileXpression. You will receive a text message when you register for MobileXpression for which you may be charged if you pay for individual text messages. Downloading the MobileXpression software and any subsequent upgrades incurs the same charges you would incur for visiting a web site on your mobile phone. If you have unlimited access to data services and aren't charged anything for surfing, then these downloads should not incur any other charges. If you are on a data plan that charges you on a pay-as-you-go basis, then the time spent downloading the application may be charged to your account. The application is very small, so charges should be limited. On an ongoing basis, the MobileXpression software uses your Internet connection to send data about your mobile activities to MobileXpression. If you have an unlimited data plan, you should not see any other charges, however users paying for data on a pay-as-you-go basis will incur additional charges. You can log into your MobileXpression account at any time to see the amount of data that has been sent from your phone.
For iPhone users: Downloading the MobileXpression software and any subsequent upgrades incurs the same charges you would incur for visiting a web site on your mobile phone. If you have unlimited access to data services and aren't charged anything for surfing, then these downloads should not incur any other charges. If you are on a data plan that charges you on a pay-as-you-go basis, then the time spent downloading the application may be charged to your account. The application is very small, so charges should be limited.
How do I know if the software is installed?
For RIM, Android, Windows Mobile, and Palm users: When you successfully install the software on your phone or mobile device you will see a MobileXpression icon on your phone screen. You will also receive an email letting you know the download is complete. At any time, you will also be able to login to your MobileXpression account and view your Activity Status.
For iPhone users: The MobileXpression software installs a VPN profile on your phone. You can find this profile by going to "Settings" then "General" and you will find MobileXpression listed under "Profile."
Why did the VPN icon on my iPhone appear after I installed the MobileXpression profile?
In order to participate in MobileXpression, iPhone users are asked to download a configuration file which allows your web traffic to route through the MobileXpression servers so that we can accurately collect your mobile web data. This configuration file utilizes the VPN settings on your iPhone.

Analysts Will Date Morgan Stanley, But Bring Goldman Home to Mother
TheStreet) -- Morgan Stanley (MS - Get Report) got some long stares from Wall Street analysts following its fourth-quarter earnings, but it's still Goldman Sachs that gets the love. Morgan Stanley execs laid out a strategic plan to improve returns for shareholders Friday, but analysts remain skeptical of the investment bank's ability to deliver in the near term.The company, whichNEW YORK (
reported solid earnings for the fourth quarter
, said it could deliver a return on tangible equity in excess of 10%, through a combination of a higher contribution from its wealth management business, restructuring of fixed income business, lower expenses and returning more capital to investors.
The investment bank will purchase the remaining stake in the Morgan Stanley Smith Barney venture ahead of schedule and reduce expenses by $1.6 billion over two years in a flat-revenue environment, lower fixed income risk-weighted assets from $280 billion end of 2012 to $200 billion in 2016. CEO James Gorman also said the company will return excess capital "as soon as possible", once its completes the purchase of the remaining MSSB stake.
The detailed plan was well-received by Wall Street analysts, many of whom raised their estimates and target price for the stock.
Still, most analysts believe that the company faces challenges in achieving its target.
"While surely an improvement from the mid-single digit recent performance, MS' targets only meets its cost of capital, suggesting valuation near tangible book value in more than a year," Wells Fargo Securities analyst Matt Burnell wrote in a report. He added that lackluster performance of the institutional securities business in recent quarters suggests "revenue improvement is needed as much as capital efficiency to improve returns in the business."
Burnell believes "meaningful capital return" is at least 2 years away for Morgan Stanley shareholders.
Moreover, Goldman Sachs is a better bet according to the analyst."We note that rival GS currently earns its cost of capital and offers meaningfully higher capital returns and yields with less volatility."
Barclays Capital analyst Roger Freeman expects Morgan Stanley to deliver return on equity of 6.7% in 2013 and 7.6% in 2014 and believes the stock will still be valued at a discount to tangible book in the near term, as its ROE is still below its cost of capital. Delivering returns on equity above 10% would be highly dependent on profitable market conditions, he noted.

Exclusive: Blessthefall Premiere Behind-the-Scenes Video for "Hollow Bodies"
Sammi Chichester | Mar 10, 2014 | Comments 1 | Tags: Blessthefall
Last week Phoenix metalcore band, Blessthefall, released their music video for "Hollow Bodies." Revolver has the behind-the-scenes exclusive video. Check it out below and let us know what you think in the comments!
Guitarist Eric Lambert said, "This video is easily my favorite that we have ever done. Surprisingly, it was also the easiest video we have ever done as well. All we really had to do was show up and jump of stuff in front of a green screen. Daniel did such an incredible job with all of the postproduction and it's insane to see everything come to life."
Blessthefall is touring on support of their record, Hollow Bodies (available on iTunes), on the Rockstar Presents Hollow Bodies tour with Silverstein, The Amity Affliction, Secrets, and Heartist. For more on Blessthefall, visit their Twitter and Facebook.

Part 1
The Great Lakes are such a treasure and the Mackinac Bridge is an amazing architectural fete. A must see if you get the chance to travel to this part of the country. The summer weather is perfect and the natural resources are abundant. We made sure to stop at the lookout on the Upper Peninsula side of the bridge after crossing. The kids had a great time playing in the cold, cold water. They got soaked and we had to do a clothing change before hitting the road on our way to Grandpa and Grandma's house.
After the parade and before our cookout and fireworks the kids had fun with a frog they found in Grandma's garden. They had a blast on the slip-n-slide set up on the backyard hillside and my son got a ride on Grandpa's six wheeler. Definitely can't have one of those where we live right now.
I grew up in a kids paradise and I'm glad my children got to experience a little bit of the country life.
Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for being so hospitable.
Thanks for stopping by Blue Sky Confections!!!

Boundary layer fan position relative to primary

I've seen great results on smaller,closed-tube scopes that don't even blow on the mirror face, but on the back. Because the back of the tube is closed, there is effectively a column of fresh air moving up the entire tube length and pulling the boundary layer with it. The effect in the eyepiece is dramatic, like flipping a switch. The image sharpens up within seconds. It's obviously not related to mirror cooling because of the rapid result seen.
It probably won't work with a primary in an open arrangement such as a truss. Then you have to blow across the face of the mirror.
Posted 29 April 2013 - 04:25 PM
Don, that is a great idea but I am afraid it's more involved than I can commit to right now.
I was contemplating the approach taken by Rob Teeter, but before I cut into the mirror box I think I will experiment with closing off the back of my scope like what has been explored in recent threads and pioneered most famously by Mauro Da Lio.

I have a 10" version of the cell under construction, done in plate aluminum. Will post photos on my next day-off, if interested.

My goal is to remove the fans from contact with the scope to prevent vibration. The air multiplier would allow doing just that. I was also thinking of an easier to build compressed air distribution system (nozzles and tubing) with a small air reservoir and compressor located off scope. The compressed air nozzles would be located around the mirror to homogenize the boundary layer and no need for ducting or a closed tube.
Most people just use too large a fan. It's surprising how little air needs to be moved to break up the boundary layer. Also all fans aren't created equal. Some are noticeably out-of-balance and that, coupled with too large a unit, is usually what contributes to vibration issues.
I've found that it's not really necessary to have a homogeneous air density all along the optical path, from my experience.
The compressed air idea sounds intriguing, Don, but seems like a lot more trouble in practice than a well-placed, properly-sized fan or two. That said, I'm keen to see the results if you build it.
Posted 30 April 2013 - 10:14 PM
Looking at tight doubles at high magnification shows no vibration. I also have a larger Noctua fan behind the mirror strung from rubber bands at each corner.

Some of them are takeouts, so be warned. Not necessarily a bad thing, but it may mean a shortened lifespan in the telescope.
Posted 01 May 2013 - 08:16 AM
With an open mirror box, you're not even recirculating the same warm air.
Keep us posted on this effort.
I've been experimenting with this type

Chuck, please do post.
Here you are, sorry it took me so long. It's busy season at the day job.
Here is a view of a 6-inch cell under construction. It is almost identical to the cells used on the "Woodshop" telescopes from S&T, March 99. Single small fan, centered on the rear of the mirror.
A rear view. The aluminum cover on the left is the battery compartment. 8 AAA cells provide either a high or low speed, provided by the DPDT, center-off switch seen at upper right.
This cell design has been in-use since 1998 and works very well in a closed-tube. I've used it on 6" f/8, 6" f/5, and will be using this one on a 6" f/10.
The six-inch cell fan clears-up image degradation within 2 seconds of turning on the fan, even with very warm optics that have been sitting in a closed, hot garage all day.
Here is the same concept in a 10-inch, 9- point floatation cell. A dummy plastic disk is sitting-in for the mirror in these pics. The three black plastic housings each hold 8 AAA cells.
The back side of the cell. This one is also designed for a closed tube. Here you can see the access doors for the 3 battery compartments as well as the collimation knobs. The fan itself is mounted in a PVC block on a Sorbothane gasket. The PVC block is also separated from the aluminum back plate by another Sorbothane gasket.
A side view of the cell. Each collimation bolt has 2 springs, one inside the other. The batteries will be wired in parallel to extend the run time of the fan. I'll probably use NiMH rechargeables and be able to charge them from the car 12V system enroute to the observing site, or at home with a wall wart type charger.
You can also see the stainless-steel ball-bearing pivot under one of the floatation pads. Each ball is loosely caged by the 4 SS allen-head screws that also hold the pads themselves. The balls nest in conical seats on both the back of the pads, and the cell back.
Looking through the plastic dummy mirror at the "out" side of the fan. While this system works very well in the smaller 6" scopes, I haven't tried it yet on the 10" (12" OD aluminum tube), so I have a plan for a second fan blowing across the face of the mirror if this arrangement proves too anemic.
Both the 6" and 10" cells were made using woodworking tools only, on thick sheet PVC and aluminum plate up to 1/2" thick.
Some "old school" stuff here, for sure. Be gentle and patient with me.
Posted 05 May 2013 - 07:22 PM
Posted 05 May 2013 - 08:39 PM
"Be patient with" you? That is fantastic work and design. Thanks for sharing. I don't understand the relationship of the allen screws to the ball bearing pivot. Any link on the hardware used?
Thanks for the kind words, David.
Here's a quick pencil sketch of the floatation mechanism. The steel ball is nested between two conical recesses, one on the bottom of the triangular floatation pad, the other on the main mirror carrier plate below it. Each ball is "caged" by four stainless allen-head screws. They are countersunk into the pad but the pad isn't threaded and they pass through. The pad holes are slightly oversized. They are threaded into tapped holes in the main carrier plate, under the pads (the big triangular plate with the mirror edge clips on it). I've only indicated one screw in the sktech, but there are four per pad. In practice, the pad can wiggle and rock a bit with no mirror on there, so it's a true floatation system. The ball can't fall out when the mirror is on-edge because it's constrained by the opposing cone seats and the pad itself is held by the four allen screws. They keep the pad from rotating around the ball, as well.
Hope this makes sense. I've got Solidworks on my office computer but not at home at present.

Stiction doesn't seem to be a problem with these smaller mirrors. A little graphite keeps the float pad loose enough. A similar mechanical pivot on my old Novak 17.5" cell is still moving freely when it has to.
We've really sidetracked from the OPs question, lol.

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) constitutes one-quarter of all avoidable deaths in developing countries. In the Eastern Cape, South Africa, TB is a public health problem of epidemic proportion. Poor compliance and frequent interruption to treatment are associated with increased transmission rates, morbidity, and costs to TB control programs. This study explored determinants of (non-)compliance from the patients' perspective. Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with patients (33 treatment compliers and 34 treatment non-compliers) and 14 community health workers from local community clinics and the hospital in the township of Grahamstown, Eastern Cape, South Africa. Q-methodology was used. Patients rank ordered 32 opinion statements describing determinants of treatment compliance from the TB adherence model. By-person factor analysis was used to explore patterns in the rankings of statements by compliers and non-compliers. These patterns were interpreted and described as patient views on determinants of compliance with treatment. Patients and community health workers selected the top five determinants of compliance and non-compliance. Results: Compliers believed that completing treatment would cure them of TB. Economic prospects were crucial for compliance. Compliers felt that the support of the government disability grant helped with compliance. Non-compliers believed that stigmatization had the greatest impact on non-compliance, together with the burden of disease, the arrangements involved with receiving treatment, restrictions accompanying treatment, and the association of TB with HIV/AIDS infection. Conclusions: Stigmatization makes TB a 'social disease'. Individual motivation and self-efficacy appear to have a considerable effect on compliance, but, for non-compliers, the general lack of job prospects and being able to provide for themselves or their family also makes TB very much an 'economic disease'.

Welcome to Mirrorlabs Skin Studio!
Hello everyone!
I want to make a formal announcement to invite you to try my new website, Mirrorlabs Skin Studio.
Mirrorlabs Skin Studio is a new and exciting way of creating skins for use in Second Life. Using this flash web interface, you can create a custom avatar skin right on the 3d model and export your finished skin instantly! You can read all about it on the review posted on Second Style Fashionista:
Mirrorlabs: your own custom skins at a mouseclick.
It currently uses Eloh Eliots open source skins as a base, and is in the alpha testing phase. I am going to be improving and adding new skins, options and content as the testing continues. ( tattoos, makeup, freckles , special features) . Testing has been going great so far, and the feedback has been excellent.
See my future file for a list of ideas and future improvements that are planned.
What this demo website can potentially mean to skin artists:
– Allow your customers to create custom skins with the features they want – eliminating the need to create hundreds of different makeup combinations in different skin tones. This eliminates the work of having to create, upload, sort, organize, and maintain hundreds of vendors for a single skin line. Your customers can simply pick the features they want.
– Currently the website allows the customer access to the full-perm textures, but I am currently researching possible alternatives. The full-perm textures can also be created in folders privately, and uploaded by the creator and distributed to customers personally.
– Brand and customize the look and feel of the site to suit your line!
If this interests you, please contact me at gbtunney [at] mac.com or use my contact form and we can discuss the possibilities.
CHECK IT OUT! THE SITE : Mirrorlabs Skin Studio
Get a quick idea of whats going on from the demo vids:
