It's a loss to Intel. He has restored tick-tock, developed FinFets, developed 14nm and the pathway to 5nm, Haswell and the Atom lineup. These are great achievements. These things will pay the ever increasing dividend and propel INTC to $50 in a year or so.
Another one bites the dust ...
He didn't "restore" tick-tock, as it had never existed before the concept emerged about 6 years ago. He didn't develop FinFET's, that was a multi-decade, multi-disciplinary, multi-person effort that was fundamentally led by Mark Bohr and others in PTD, who are also responsible for the pathway to 14 nm and below. I can date stuff back to '92 that we did that's just emerging. Otellini never was much of a technologist, believe me, but that wasn't a problem because Intel is chock-full of process, design, and packaging technologists. Where PSO brought value was in the business and management side, and in recognizing the value of a robust software operation, something the prior CEO's didn't. Where he lacked as a CEO (and he's not alone in this) is in the visionary space - Jobs is the one everyone thinks of, but there are plenty of others, such as Hewlett, Packard, Grove, etc. Nobody really stepped up to the plate to back him up as a true CTO, with an exciting and involving vision on par with what came from Grove in the past ("Billion connected PC's"). Maybe the next CEO can do that or find someone who can. Best thing is that at least PSO didn't blow $20B with virtually zero return as did his predecessor.
Although he didn't develop these things himself, he enabled the development and should always be remembered for this and other achievements. $50 might seem cheap if the dual core Atom based phones are better than the competition, as I believe they will be. Regardless of the huge profits Intel makes on PC's, the whole "PC is Dead" meme means significant gains in mobile market share are needed going forward as a catalyst.

I honestly think he needs to strike while he's still a fringe first rounder (which he will be leading into the draft). Someone will take a chance and get burned by Vontaze, I just really hope it's not us. I've been watching this kid since he was in HS (I'm a CFB recruiting nut), and this is who he's always been.

Avid cyclists know the local roads and streets to avoid.
When riding his bicycle from his Greenwood home to Shelbyville, Michael Kyle knows he has to avoid Whiteland Road because it's too narrow to allow the heavy traffic to safely get around him. There is some room on the shoulders of U.S. 31, but the traffic is too heavy and fast-moving to make that route safe, he said.
Local cyclists have plenty of options in Johnson County where they can ride safely, including bike trails in Greenwood and Franklin and low-traffic county roads with hills near Prince's Lakes and Trafalgar.
But the challenge can be in getting there. Some roads are too narrow, while others are falling apart on the shoulder.
Riders also have to worry about sharing the road with motorists who can be inattentive or frustrated that they're being slowed down by a bicycle.
Adam Kasch and Dan Catlin were riding on a county road to Shelbyville when they heard a truck quickly drive up behind them.
That truck barely moved over when passing the cyclists, and Kasch said he could have been hit by simply extending his elbow.
"We all have a wife and kids, and we want to go home to them every night," Kasch said.
Local cyclists have a wish list.
First, they don't feel that they need a huge trails system, similar to the Monon Trail in Indianapolis. They simply would like to see a few more bike lanes and easier places to cross some of the busiest roads.
And they wish motorists would better share the road and not cut it so close when passing.
"We've made a lot of progress, but the biggest challenges are the human challenge and the infrastructure challenge," Catlin said.
In the past five years, as cycling has become more popular, local communities have found ways to give cyclists safer routes to travel on, such as in Franklin, which has a system of trails in the city and at the high school.
And cyclists would hope motorists want even more people to cycle, which cuts down on traffic due to fewer cars and trucks being on the road, Catlin said.
Franklin city officials are weighing the best places to build more trails or improving the quality of the road or their shoulders. Their maps clearly show areas where their trails don't connect, and city officials are considering ways to fix the problem, such as building more or repairing some roads.
"For the most part the broken areas are in places where the trail may end or pick up in a half of a mile," Franklin Mayor Joe McGuinness said. "There may be a safe road or other lane they can use to get to the next section of trails. But we have the maps that show where they're not connected and working toward improving those places."
Franklin city officials are working to improve their trails for cyclists. The city has about 10 miles of trails and plans to build walking and bicycle paths that will connect the city's east side to the high school. For example, the city wants to build bicycle paths along the proposed truck route that runs from State Road 44 to U.S. 31 along Eastview, Arvin and Commerce drives.
One of the biggest concerns is crossing U.S. 31, Catlin said. He would like to see another crosswalk but understands there's only so much a city can do when it comes to the busiest roads. The state has to make any changes to intersections with U.S. 31, since that is a state-maintained highway.
Recent improvements have made Franklin the place cyclists want to meet for rides that can provide a mixture of trails with nice scenery and safe roads with minimal traffic, Catlin said.
"I think Franklin has done a considerably better job than Greenwood has done," said Bob Locke, manager of Bicycle Garage Indy in Greenwood. "Franklin is working on their trail system constantly. I go down there and ride frequently with friends, and we ride through the trail system because it's easier than crossing (U.S.) 31."
Greenwood has built some trails that can be used by cyclists, such as a path that runs on Graham Road between Main Street and County Line Road. A similar path will be built on both sides of Worthsville Road as part of work to widen the road. The city also has some multiuse paths in Freedom Park that can be used by cyclists, community development services director Mark Richards said.
The city is looking for ways to extend and connect the trails, but bike lanes have not been a focus because of limited space in many areas to expand the roadway without having to purchase property, Richards said.
"We don't have any plans for bike lanes currently," he said. "We've worked fairly diligently to include multiuse pathways where possible and where we feel is most appropriate."
But cyclists' concern is that those trails don't lead to enough safe options. Cyclists would like the trails to lead to roads that aren't too narrow or heavily used to be considered safe, Catlin said.
Locke said cyclists can help by obeying traffic laws and being considerate. All cyclists should stop at traffic lights and not cruise through them.
Kyle doesn't think cyclists should even travel on busy roads like U.S. 31, which causes traffic to back up and leads to frustrated motorists more willing to pass a bicycle without much space between them.
"It's just so inconsiderate," Kyle said. "I think sometimes we deservedly get a bad reputation for running through stop signs and being the cause of problems."

What is the September Equinox?
There are two equinoxes every year – in September and March – when the sun shines directly on the equator and the length of day and night is nearly equal.
Spring in the South
Seasons are opposite on either side of the Equator, so the equinox in September is also known as the Autumnal (fall) equinox in the northern hemisphere. In the Southern Hemisphere, it's known as the Spring (vernal) equinox.
September Equinox in Washington DC, District of Columbia, USA is on
Thursday, September 22, 2016 at 10:21 AM EDT (Change city)
September Equinox in Universal Coordinated Time is on
Thursday, September 22, 2016 at 14:21 UTC
Sun Crosses Celestial Equator
The September equinox occurs the moment the Sun crosses the celestial equator – the imaginary line in the sky above the Earth's Equator – from north to south. This happens either on September 22, 23, or 24 every year.10 Facts About the March Equinox
The Axial Tilt
The Earth's axis is always tilted at an angle of about 23.4° in relation to the ecliptic, the imaginary plane created by the Earth's path around the Sun. On any other day of the year, either the southern hemisphere or the Northern Hemisphere tilts a little towards the Sun. But on the two equinoxes, the tilt of the Earth's axis is perpendicular to the Sun's rays, like the illustration shows.
Why "Equinox"?
On the equinox, night and day are nearly exactly the same length – 12 hours – all over the world. This is the reason it's called an "equinox", derived from Latin, meaning "equal night". However, even if this is widely accepted, it isn't entirely true. In reality equinoxes don't have exactly 12 hours of daylight
Traditions and Folklore
In the Northern Hemisphere, the September equinox marks the start of fall (autumn). Many cultures and religions celebrate or observe holidays and festivals around the September equinox.

I have a 93 (or 94?) trek 970 which has a worn out rear rim (concave, brake grabbing, etc).
I'd like to replace the wheel with a sealed bearing hub good quality wheel that allows for rim braking (wayyyy before disk brakes) and stay at 7 speed so I don't have to upgrade the shifters, etc.
I am a little confused in reading the posts on a couple of items
(1) if the wheel is a disk brake wheel (and I obviously skip installing the disk), is it still OK for rim braking (i.e. do they make rims different now?)
(2) Assuming it has a free hub (my current wheel has a freewheel), can I find a seven speed cassette, and will it fit OK, as most cassettes are 8+ speeds now.
If anybody could point me to the correct wheel to order I'd much appreciate it. I'm willing to pay a bit for this, because I hate cheap parts, but don't want to break the bank for this older bike.

This debate is a contentious one between the people in New Hartford Thursday. Both sides firmly believe they're right.
The debate is all because of the Supreme Court decision that allows company's like Hobby Lobby to not provide contraceptives because of their religious beliefs.
"Once it starts to affect the freedoms of other individuals and encroach upon that, then that's where I think we need to draw the line. That's exactly what this is doing. It's affecting individual people's lives. It's putting a damper on their rights," said protester against the decision Amy Francisco-Nugent.
"These are not medical necessities we are talking about. If they want contraception they can pay for it themselves just like people have always done. I don't know why the employer should be forced or think that have to be forced into doing something like that if that's not what they believe in," said a Hobby Lobby supporter Carla Locaccio.
Some protesters said it comes down to a constitutional debate.
"I just think that we need to stop nit picking on women's rights and stick to the original constitution with the separation of church and state," said protester against the decision Sonny Cardinal.
"I think that trying to force hobby lobby into the position that these people want is against the Constitution. I just feel like it's their freedom to do that," said Hobby Lobby supporter Ed Urbanik.
While other people at the protest say it goes even farther than that into a religious debate.
"I believe that they're not really against hobby lobby, they're against god. That's what it comes down to," said Hobby Lobby supporter Brit Rose.
"I wish that the people in charge of these corporations instead of doing what they think what Jesus would want, or Jesus would do, would take a look at the lives of the individuals that they're effecting, because these decisions ultimately effect individual people's lives," said Francisco-Nugent.
This debate is not over. A bill in the senate is still alive that would overrule the Supreme Court's decision from a few weeks ago.

A minister friend of mine received a Christmas card with a note in it from a lady in his congregation. He said she was very complimentary about his preaching, & compared him with Billy Graham. She finished by writing, "I think you are one of the really great preachers of all time."
Later that day, when he showed the note to his wife, she asked, "Who is that woman?" He replied, "She is a very intelligent woman in the congregation who loves great preaching." He then asked his wife, "How many great preachers do you suppose there really are in the world?" She replied, "One less than you think."

Three things you didn't know about Assistant Professor Jiwon Park
Thu. October 8, 2015
Jiwon Park joined the Department of Art and Art History as an assistant professor in Design this year. She shared three facts about herself over email:
#1 My favorite color is Neon Orange: Pantone 804 and 805.
It's a creative color. Also when you stare at it, it makes you feel happy and sometimes hungry. I get annoyed when people say, "Oh you must be happy walking around the UT campus filled with orange." UT Austin's burnt orange is so burnt that it is much closer to brown!
#2 I'm a rare art book collector.
In my library, there are limited edition collectibles, signed copies, and rare first editions. They are the most valuable (and expensive) things I possess.
One of my favorites is a book collaboratively produced by a Dutch graphic designer Irma Boom and conceptual artist Job Koelewijn titled The Road Not Taken. The poem "The Road Not Taken," written by Robert Frost, is repeated over 730 pages and printed with ink mixed with a base of beef bouillon. The hard cover book was published in an edition of 123, all of which were displayed in the artist's exhibition in Amsterdam in 2000.
If you happen to be in London, visit Marcus Campbell Art Books. It's around the side of Tate Modern, and they stock a variety range of rare art books at a fraction of the price.
#3 I own over 50 pairs of stiletto heels—all above 4 inches in height.

text: In September, Google and Adobe announced plans to bring Photoshop over to Chrome OS. The project has actually been going on for nearly two years and, today, Photoshop Streaming has made its way to the Chrome Web Store. For now, only educational institutions have access to Photoshop Streaming. The testing period will last for six months and then it is fair game for anyone to use. Adobe did provide an explanation as to how Photoshop on Chrome OS works.

I think this is the same problem after today's update via CVS of my local development machine.
I still can login as admin using my old password (which doesn't confirm to any password policy as this is only a local development installation after all) but are prompted to change my password again and again - to no avail (see screenshot)
I have found a logic problem in the code, the first weak password was forcing change of all subsequent users in the file.
the changing of passwords works fine for me, it might be a separate problem
thanks for the report
does it work fine for you now? if not, are you able to replicate the problem on another site?
My problem seems to persist even after updating today to 1.9.7 (Build: 20091126).
Which CVS branch is the most current one I should use for testing:
Can I disable the password policy somehow directly in the database?
MOODLE_19_STABLE is the branch with last code, MOODLE_19_WEEKLY is the recommended tag for updating via CVS.
You can force most setting by hardcoding values in config.php
I did a fresh install of Moodle 1.9.7 (Build: 20091126) with an empty database which worked alright.
The only difference to 1.9.6 I noticed was the $CFG->passwordsaltmain = '3nKMDLHM^<7<z k^c65?TL-&P,.Hfd!6'; entry in config.php.
And in 1.9.7 Password Policy is enforced by default. I checked manually that passwordpolicy was indeed set to 0 in the old database. I fiddled around a bit with those password settings but to no avail.
My conclusion is that the code base is OK but there must be some permissions setting in the old database for the admin user which forces him to change his password again and again. But changing the password doesn't seem to work either, even when following the password policy rules. So he's stuck.

If Pets Had Thumbs Day
When : Always March 3rd
If Pets Had Thumbs Day leaves you wondering what would happen if.......
One thing that sets man apart from many other species on the planet is an opposable thumb. It allows us to do many things that other creatures can't do.
Now imagine what it would be like if your pet had thumbs. Do you get a clear image of your pet with thumbs? Are you seeing your pet doing things with their new thumb? If so, your mind is in spirit with today.
Note: If you have a pet monkey, you already know what it would be like for your pet to have thumbs.

"We've got a two-room office with no private offices," says Godgart. "We're brainstorming all day long. There are seven white boards but there is not a spec of [available] white space on any wall."
The ChannelEyes build-out started in 2011. Fast forward to 2012, and the social media platform has been operational for roughly 60 days. To generate buzz and awareness, ChannelEyes has been working closely with the ASCII Group, CompTIA, HTG Peer Groups and other channel industry organizations. More than 2,000 resellers and IT solutions providers have joined the ChannelEyes platform, along with several hundred vendors.
In recent weeks, the ChannelEyes team has been helping vendors to load the system with partner program information. Now, the ChannelEyes team says it is in education mode and listen mode.
On the education front, Godgart notes that it took IT vendors a year or two to understand how to leverage mainstream social media platforms like FaceBook and Twitter. With ChannelEyes, Godgart wants to shorten that learning curve for partners. "We've spoken with all of the top 100 [IT] vendors," said Godgart. "The majority are building out their presence on ChannelEyes."
Bright IdeasNow, Godgart and his team have gone into listen mode -- gathering feedback and ideas from channel partners that have joined ChannelEyes.
So what do early members want next from ChannelEyes? Godgart points to competitive analytics and business intelligence from vendors that can potentially help partners win more deals. Also, partners are looking for special offers from vendors -- inventory clearances, special promotions and other information that's sometimes hard to find out on the web.
The VAR Guy isn't suggesting this is gonna be easy. The ChannelEyes platform remains ambitious. Pulling VARs, IT service providers and vendors into a social media platform was step one. Driving a healthy, daily, profitable dialog between those audiences is the ongoing goal -- and a challenging one at that.

Police looking for woman in armed robberyBy Josh OGorman
STAFF WRITER | February 24,2014
DANBY Police are investigating the armed robbery of a convenience store Saturday night.
According to state police, at approximately 6:30 p.m., a woman entered Nichols Store on Main Street and handed a note to the clerk demanding money. The woman displayed a black revolver in the right pocket of her hooded sweatshirt, but never removed the pistol from her pocket, police said.
The robber made off with what police called a small amount of cash from the register and fled the immediate area on foot, although police believe she used a vehicle to leave the area.
There were no injuries.
Police described the suspect as a woman, between 5 feet, 2 inches tall and 5 feet, 4 inches tall, weighing approximately 100 to 110 pounds. The woman wore a black hooded sweatshirt with a Peace sign on the front, blue jeans and a mask made from some sort of fabric.
Saturdays incident was the second armed robbery of a convenience store by a woman in the area in four days. Shortly before midnight Wednesday, a woman walked into the Stewarts shop at 232 Main St. in West Rutland and demanded money.
Much like Saturdays robbery, the woman in the West Rutland robbery handed the clerk a note and displayed a handgun, which was tucked into her waistband. Police said the weapon appeared to be a gray revolver.
Police said the West Rutland robber was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt with a star pattern on its front and back, blue jeans and a light-colored ski mask.
Anyone with information about either of these robberies is asked to call the Vermont State Police Rutland Barracks at 773-9101. Tips can also be submitted anonymously online at goo.gl/OZAZks.

Born to Run-Walk?
"Wogging" Can Be a Step Toward Running, or a Workout All Its Own
By Barbara Russi Sarnataro
Reviewed By Kathleen Zelman, MPH, RD, LD
We crawl before we learn to walk.
We wog before we learn to run.
Wog? That's right, W-O-G.
Wogging is a word used in some circles to describe a combination of walking and jogging, or walking and running. You may not have heard the term, but this way of exercising is far from new, fitness experts say.
"It's a catchword for what we all do," says Michael Hewitt, exercise physiologist and research director for exercise science at the Canyon Ranch spa in Tucson, Ariz. "We like to attach labels to things but if you look at any 8-year-old kid, they're wogging. They'll run for a while and then walk when they get tired, and then run again. Kids are smart, and kids wog."
So do adults who are trying to make a transition from walking to running.
Woggers, Hewitt tells WebMD, are people who want to be runners, but don't yet have the muscular endurance to run.
"It's what we've been teaching people for years and years," says Julie Isphording, former Olympic marathon runner and host of "FIT: Fitness Information Talk" and "On Your Feet," two popular health and fitness radio shows aired on National Public Radio in and around Cincinnati.
Isphording trains people to become runners by interspersing short bouts of running into their walking routines.
"Whenever you embark on a fitness program and you want to become a runner, you start by walking," says Isphording. "Then you set a goal, like from this stop sign to the next corner, I'm going to run. You keep building that until you're jogging."

The first Little People Nursery was established in 1989 by the owner/proprietor Marguerite Hallas and her husband Geoff. Marguerite, who has been a Nursery Nurse since she was 16, had always dreamed of opening her own nursery and offering the best childcare in Leeds. Geoff originally trained in accountancy giving him the business knowledge needed to help Marguerite make her dream a reality.
The family were passionate about childcare and in 1992 welcomed daughter, Vicky, to the team. Vicky worked at the Nursery whilst completing her studies, both in Childcare and also Accounts and Finance, and then achieving Early Years Professional Status. With the opening of a third nursery in 2004, son Chris joined the team, following in his father's footsteps by training in both Business Administration and Accountancy.
Over 25 years later the Nurseries are still run hands on by the Hallas family, along side long standing Area Manager, Tracy Windle, who has been a part of the team from the very beginning. With a dynamic and dedicated Leadership team, and our wonderful Managers who together have clocked up over 50 years' experience with us, we believe we can offer your Little Person a wonderful start in life.

Businesses today are met with unique challenges and opportunities that necessitate pause. For years, management models were developed to optimize the pursuit of business objectives. Processes were established and hierarchies, technologies and reporting systems supported them. Everything was business as usual until it wasn't.
Nothing is permanent. As in life, things change. And so is true in the world of business. The models and practices that have been taught for generations are tested in a time when customer and employee behaviors and resulting expectations are evolving without official study, strategy and systematic transformation.
Digital Darwinism: Survival of the Fitting
Technology permeated society to the point where the vast separation between professional and personal access was obliterated. And, the line between online and offline was forever obscured creating an always-on society with an insatiable appetite for consumption and connectedness.
Over the years, technology has impacted how everyday people communicate, share, discover, and learn. Some of you will read the previous sentence and think, "and yes, it's completely ruined our society and we are worse for it." Others will read it and continue without contemplation as the sentence states the obvious, "and?"
This divide reveals a stunningly under appreciated challenge facing any organization that hopes to survive in an era connectedness. With foresight, its clear that the situation before us is dire. It is how decision makers react now that either defines their destiny or seals their fate. In a world where Digital Darwinism rewards those who adapt as technology and society evolve, I believe many models governing how organizations are not only outdated, they reflect management's vision in how it competes for the future.
With the barrage of digital devices, services, networks, apps, many organizations are merely reacting to trends with terminal skepticism or half-baked attempts to embrace new technologies and opportunities. In each case, what's new is often interpreted or dealt with through the very perspective, methods and practices that contribute to business as usual.
"Wheel of Disruption" from What's the Future of Business: Changing the way businesses create experiences
Social media, mobile, real-time, each has contributed to the digital lifestyle that everyday people, your consumers AND your employees, embrace as second nature. It's not just a Millennial or a Generation Z thing…it's everyone who uses a smartphone, a tablet, or any smart device. It's someone who takes selfies and takes pictures and videos at every live event. It's also that person who checks Twitter and Facebook each morning before email for mentions of their name and see what they might have missed. It is for all intents and purposes, you and me.
This isn't about age; this is about a connected generation (Generation-C) and it represents a significant share of consumerism. Simply said, this category of consumers is different from the traditional customers and employees around which many organizations are modeled.
To reach them requires a different approach. To see them and the value they represent to an organization takes vision and a different philosophy. Instead however, most executives or decision-makers employ an "us vs. them" mentality. They see the world as they know it rather than seeing the world for what it is or what it's becoming.
#AdaptorDie – Lead by example, don't lead by following examples
Let me put this plainly...
Connected customers are growing.
Traditional customers are fading.
To compete for the future takes an investment in new philosophies and models where relevance and resilience become part of the corporate DNA.
Traditional management practices and the structures that support them are not only aging, they're liabilities and competitive disadvantages. It's not just today's competitors who will realize that connected consumers are a different breed. Unforeseen competitors, some that may not even exist today, will see what it is that you do not to change market direction, and as a result, take market share.
This is a time that requires great introspection and empathy. This is a time for leadership.
The goal now is to open our perspective to explore a world that we do not know in order to lead our organization in a direction of greater relevance. We must discover what is truly is valuable to Generation-C, why, and how to use these insights to inspire more desirable products, services, and even stories and messages. The next step is of course to bring them to life through new processes, systems, and directives.
This is why I believe that the future of business takes leadership not management. Executives, employees, and other stakeholders or shareholders who do not share in the desire to earn relevance with a different customer is standing in the way of progress.
Born Digital – We are the Champions
Well-meaning decision makers don't know what they don't know. As such, they will need a little help and this is an opportunity for champions who believe in the need for organizational transformation.
The case for change won't be won by new technology alone. It's not social, mobile, or real-time that presents the answer in of itself. It is the affect they have on consumer behavior that matters. Attempting to convince anyone of the need for change should never include mentions of Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, iPhones, iPads, et al. These are means but not a means to an end. What's required is an understanding of market trends and impact, missed opportunities versus actual short and long term losses, the balance of connected vs. traditional consumerism, and a better understanding of how innovation in the product roadmap will prevent disruption while disrupting others through innovation.
Technology is merely an enabler…and a powerful one at that. But without vision, purpose, direction, or meaning, new channels are the conduits for old reasoning and convictions. Without understanding technology and its relationship with behavior, without aligning a bigger mission or vision with what we are trying to do — something that is going to matter to people — we are just managing businesses the way we always have. We are not moving in any new direction.
This is a time to lead the next era where ideas are "born digital." Rather than discount how, when, and where people connect...innovate! Born digital is a mantra and a philosophy that invests in products, services, and supporting systems that align with the expectations and behaviors of Generation C...consistently, across every screen, in in the context of every scenario.
Born digital doesn't take what already exists and attempt to repackage it as something new. Born digital isn't conceived by groups of strategists or executives who question the logic of a selfie. Seriously. Born digital is the result of empathy and inspiration to do something extraordinary in the truest meaning of the word...something that is designed for a new generation...purpose built to deliver unique and exceptional experiences.
Born digital is deliberate and it is inspired. But to conceive it takes vision to see what others do not and courage to do what others will not or cannot.
