This document covers the usage and technical details of the Motion Sensor platform developed at the Alexandra Institute during 2008-2010 by Jesper Nielsen and Jacob Andersen. The document is comprised of two parts: a user guide part containing an introduction to the platform including basic information on how to program the microcontrollers, and an in-depth technical reference part.
The wireless sensor board top and bottom view, and the USB stick.
The Motion Sensor platform is made up of two device types: a wireless sensor board and a USB stick capable of forming wireless networks. This following sections introduce the two device types.
The sensor board is basically a tiny computer with sensing capabilities, a wireless networking device, a couple of buttons, and LEDs. All of this has been designed with low-power technology, in order to keep the power consumption as low as possible.
The sensor board's power supply is a single coin cell, and a well-designed application may be capable of running for months or even years on a single battery.
A battery test can be performed by pressing both buttons and releasing the "Reset" button first. In case the battery level is (still) OK, both LEDs will light up for a couple of seconds. If the battery level is low either one or no LED will light up. Furthermore, the LED intensity will provide a hint about the battery level. A clear bright light indicates a fresh battery while a very dim light will indicate a battery approaching the end of its life.
The USB stick is used as a bridge between an ordinary computer and the wireless network of sensor devices.
The guides and manuals listed below introduce the Motion Sensor platform at a level of detail appropriate for the new user.
The hairy technical details of the platform can be divided into the following main themes:

Title: Topics on Random Fields, Threshold Estimation and Mixture Models
 Advisors: Associate Professor Moulinath Banerjee, Professor Michael B. Woodroofe
 Committee Members: Professor George Michailidis, Assistant Professor Bodhisattva Sen (Columbia Univ)

Abstract: Random fields have attracted a lot of attention especially in modeling spatially correlated data. Limit theorems for random fields have also motivated a number of papers. We provide sufficient conditions for Central Limit Theorem to hold for linear random fields when the sums are taken over sets of arbitrary shape. Stronger results are obtained for the special cases, namely, rectangles and union of rectangles. The next problem we consider is the estimation of baseline-value regions of a function. In several applications, the data follows a regression model where the regression function is fixed at its baseline value for covariate levels in a certain region and stays above that value otherwise. This is relevant to a broad range of applications. We provide partial results on consistency, rate of convergence and the asymptotic distribution for the proposed estimate in the one dimensional case and discuss directions for future work. Another problem of our interest involves non-parametric maximum likelihood estimation (NPMLE) in mixture models. We mainly discuss two applications: one involving estimation of a criterion for control while classifying bank accounts as sensitive to frauds based on observed number of transactions under certain assumptions and the other involving estimation of distribution of velocity of stars in an isotropic galaxy. The general theory of estimating NPMLE in a mixture model setup is relevant here and has been discussed along with some related problems which will be pursued in future.

AIM LCR3 Three
Taking advantage of the research and development resources invested in the original AIM LCR, we have created a sibling with a much smaller footprint. The AIM LCR 3 is a two-way D'Appolito design with dual 3-inch woofers sandwiching a pivoting 1-inch dome tweeter. As with the original AIM LCR, this speaker features a fully pivoting baffle to allow the installer to focus the sound toward the listening area.
Available in three models, the AIM LCR is perfect for small theater applications as well as any situation that requires a flush mounted speaker that will fit into a very small space like a soffit. Add a subwoofer to fill in the bottom end, and you will be impressed with the amount of sound these diminutive little speakers can produce.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

"Married at First Sight" on FYI has everyone talking and this show is making waves. This week viewers saw that all three couples went through with their weddings and are now married to each other. On Tuesday, Cortney Hendrix went to her Twitter page to share a small tweet that makes it look like things are going well with Jason Carrion.
Her tweet was an Instagram picture that shows her kissing Jason at their wedding. "Married at First Sight" shared on their Twitter page that Cortney and Jason were the only couple to actually kiss on their wedding day. The others did share a kiss but not right on the lips like these two. They obviously have great chemistry together.
If you were to look at the three couples right away, Cortney and Jason seem to be the couple that is the best fit. Jamie was really unsure about Doug at first. Monet and Vaughn seem to be getting along great but their chemistry isn't as big as that between Cortney and Jason yet.
The tweet that Cortney sent out said, "Little moments like this- I live for @kr0ss #marriedatfirstsight @fyi #firstdance." She tagged Jason in the tweet. It really does look like she is saying that she still lives for little moments like this with Jason. That would mean that they are still together and that things are going well for them if that is the case. Of course they won't share spoilers and let anyone know for sure.
"Married at First Sight" is airing on Tuesday nights on FYI network. Three couples are now married and the rest of the season will show if they can make it work or not. Fans are hoping that they all last but they will have to continue to watch to find out for sure. If you have missed this show, repeats are airing and it is also available on Hulu. It is worth watching.

I'm learning Algebra and am curious about some methodological fundamentals here. One, in particular is why the following equation:
6(2x + 1 / 3) = 6(x + 4 / 2)
results in:
2(2x + 1) = 3(x + 4)
It's obvious that the distributive property swaps the numerators of the fractions and chooses to use another distributive property to complete the equation. Is there a specific formula for this, and why does it work that way specifically?

Behind the Scenes with DeAndre Kane:
Being able to play at Madison Square Garden, the best basketball arena in the world, was a special moment for me and my teammates. We were so happy that we actually wanted to go to shoot around in the morning instead of sleep. Just the making to the Sweet 16 and playing in that arena was a blessing.
Playing for Coach Fred has been the best time ever in my life. I couldnt ask for a better coach. He has helped so much on and off the court and I couldnt thank him more. For coach to bring me and mold me into something I never thought I could become was amazing.
To Cyclone Nation, thank you, thank you, thank you! When I got to Ames I didnt know what to expect. I was a little nervous about whether I could survive in the cold of Iowa, but it worked out great. All year long you have been great to the team and myself, Cyclone nation. I can't thank you enough.
To my teammates. Wow, I won't forget the year memories that we shared. I loved playing with you guys and I will miss you all so much. I will never forget what we did for the City of Ames. Bros for life.
Thanks for everything, Cyclone Nation. See you soon
With Love,
Deandre Kane

Dang it it's getting hard to see in here! Must be a fog moving in. Glad he chose us, and that we chose him. One hell of a Cyclone.
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
Remember, you're unique. Just like everyone else.

"I am the one who knocks" -Walter White
Thank You DeAndre! I wish we had you for longer, but I"m glad you were able to adjust to Ames and your new team. We are very appreciative of what you and the team accomplished this year. It was a very exciting season. I wish you the best in what you choose to do, but know that you're always welcome in Ames! Hope to see you playing again soon!
Need to get recruits in here while Kane is still around. Who better to sell the program to potential one n done transfers?
My eyes are tearing up big time. What a great message from a great player and an even better person! I would love it if I could rename my boys DeAndre and Melvin.
So glad he chose ISU. Hindsight is perfect, but can you imagine the player he would have been, or the team this would have been if all, including Hogue, Edozie and Kane, had been here as freshmen under Fred?
-Be kind. That is something you will never regret. You will never say to yourself when you are old "I wish I was not good to that person".

Remember, that's not the "right way" to run a program. You need to bring in HS kids that nobody wanted and yell at them while they don't develop.
DeAndre's contributions won't soon be forgotten!
One of my all time favorites.

I agree. There is a lot of jumping ship. I wonder what the numbers are on the kids that take advantage of this rule and how many actually get advanced degrees.

Baby kicks so strong they make me jump?
What could be the reason that I jump nearly everytime I feel him kick? I'm 30 wks along and it's not painful, but he moves a lot and it feels like he's molding me from the inside...I tend to jump a lot as a reflex. Am I normal? I'm not a weak thing, but sometimes it feels like I'm growing the hulk inside of me. He tends to kick BOTH sides of my belly at once and pretty hard. I love it, but it can also be frustrating when I'm trying to relax.

OSA is a Silent Killer
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is defined as the cessation of airflow during sleep preventing air from entering the lungs caused by an obstruction. These periods of 'stopping breathing' only become clinically significant if the cessation lasts for more than 10 seconds each time and occur more than 5 times every hour.
Snoring is caused by a narrowing of your airway, either from poor sleep posture or abnormalities of the soft tissues in your throat. A narrow airway gets in the way of smooth breathing and creates the sound of snoring.
Obstructive sleep apnea is a potentially serious sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep.
Several types of sleep apnea exist, but the most common type is obstructive sleep apnea, which occurs when your throat muscles intermittently relax and block your airway during sleep. The most noticeable sign of obstructive sleep apnea is snoring.
Anyone can develop obstructive sleep apnea, although it most commonly affects middle-aged and older adults and people who are overweight.
Obstructive sleep apnea treatment may involve using a device to keep your airway open or using a mouthpiece to thrust your jaw forward during sleep. Some people undergo a procedure to change the structure of their nose, mouth or throat.

FEWSTON CHURCH - BUILDING and HISTORY
Most of the original seventeenth century roof timbers are still in place above the ceiling. During repairs to the roof in 1986 it was discovered that the chancel was built later than the nave. The remains of an old pointed chancel arch were exposed in the roof space; its north side is in line with the north side of the present chancel arch, but its south side is about the middle of the present chancel. There is also. some evidence that in 1697 the present arcade (the pillars) was the line of the outer wall and that the north aisle was added a little later. In 1884 the old oak pews were taken away in carts and sold. John Dickinson in his diary which has been published as 'Timble Man' (Hendon Publishing, Nelson) records superintending the work. We believe that the ceiling also dates from this time. All the former altar ornaments and most of the communion plate have been stolen in recent years.

Legendary, powerful football lineman, track and field performer and boxer who was Arizona's first player in the NFL (with the Chicago Cardinals in 1937), he was an early proponent of weightlifting to enhance athletic performance. He was twice All-Border Conference in football and in 1936 was All-America honorable mention, the first UA player so honored. In track and field, he set a UA dual-meet record in the javelin that lasted for 32 years and high jumped 6'2 ½". During boxing's brief tenure as an intercollegiate sport, he was Border Conference heavyweight champion for three years, winning every one of his bouts by early knockout. A much-decorated Marine during World War II, he was named to The Arizona Daily Star's "All-Time Arizona Honor Grid Team" in 1949. In 1969 he was named to the Star's "Modern All-Stars UA Football Team" and the "All-Time Roxy Mountain Southwest Football Team" selected by regional sports editors.

College Hockey:Eastman's Controversial Winner Gives St. Cloud Title
Overtime Goal Stymies UND Comeback in Championship Thriller
ST. PAUL, Minn. — The luck of the Irish can only go so far.
North Dakota, despite having no real connection to the Irish except for wearing green in its jerseys and coach Dean Blais' heritage, played that luck as far as it could on Saturday night, St. Patrick's Day.
It proved to be quite a show, but didn't get the Sioux anything but more anguish.
UND scored three goals in the last 5 minutes, 35 seconds of regulation to erase a 5-2 deficit, but St. Cloud State took it from there.
The Huskies won the first WCHA title of any kind in program history when defenseman Derek Eastman scored 11:33 into overtime for a 6-5 victory in the WCHA Final Five championship game at the Xcel Energy Center.
"It was a strange game tonight," Blais said.
Ah, only if describing it was that easy.
Eastman scored the winner when he took a pass from behind the net and, from the right point, fired the puck into a vacated goal. But while the Huskies jumped off the bench in celebration, the Sioux fumed.
North Dakota goaltender Andy Kollar, joined by a few of his teammates, made a beeline for referee Mike Schmitt. Kollar had been pushed to the ice by St. Cloud forward Ritchie Larson, who was cutting through the crease. Larson, himself, may have been pushed by a Sioux defender.
So video replay decided the game. Larson claimed the contact was unintentional, but that was a moot point by the time the call went upstairs. Schmitt couldn't ask replay official Greg Shepherd if contact was made; that's a call that can only be made on the ice. The play was reviewed to see if Larson was in the crease when the goal was scored.
He wasn't, and St. Cloud State celebrated its playoff title for a second time.
"I was wondering why there was no goalie, but I had no idea [why]," Eastman said. "I just saw people come off the bench running."
Tyler Arnason, who scored three goals on Saturday in addition to two on Friday, was named the tournament's MVP. Twice, in fact. The Sioux's comeback was so swift that it happened after the voting had taken place for the awards.
Before the overtime, league officials called back the all-tournament sheets they had distributed late in regulation.
When the game ended in St. Cloud's favor, the sheets were distributed again.
"He has an absolute rocket, and I think he deserved to be the MVP," Blais said.
The magnitude of the Sioux's comeback was only offset by their inability to finish it off in overtime. Down 5-2, they put on a charge for the ages.
"We showed a lot of heart and character and we came back, and it says a lot about the guys in the locker room," Hobey Baker finalist Jeff Panzer said. "A lot of people I'm sure counted us out but we came back. That's kind of what's going to stick with us for the rest of the season. We have a bunch of guys who aren't going to give up."
Panzer started it with 5:35 left. He blasted a shot from the right circle past Huskies goaltender Scott Meyer to cut the lead to two.
But St. Cloud still appeared in control. That all changed when SCSU sophomore forward Chris Purslow, in an attempt to clear the zone from behind the net, fired it off Meyer and in. With 1:02 remaining, it gave the Sioux one last chance.
They took advantage in the last seconds. Off a faceoff, Travis Roche blasted a shot from the left point through traffic and into the net with 10.7 seconds left.
"We probably got more breaks and bounces tonight than we have in the last two months," Blais said. "There were some strange bounces both ways out there."
In the intermission between the third period and overtime, St. Cloud State coach Craig Dahl addressed a group of players that really didn't know how to react to what just happened.
"I just said, 'Look, this is a life lesson. What's done is done,' " Dahl said. " 'We can't change the score, but we can do something about what's going to happen in overtime.' "
In their comeback, the Sioux somehow managed to wrestle control of the game away from the Huskies, who were in charge for most of the first 55 minutes.
Arnason, on two occasions, gave the Huskies a seemingly safe three-goal margin.
The first came in the second period, when, 60 seconds after Joe Motzko gave St. Cloud a 3-1 lead, Arnason made it 4-1 when he chipped the puck over Kollar as the goaltender went for a poke check.
After North Dakota's Kevin Spiewak closed the lead to two eight minutes into the third period, Arnason again looked to have closed things out. He was the fourth Huskies player to touch the puck in quick succession on a power play, and he buried the puck from the slot.
It was a long way from there to the end, but for Dahl, the end result finally put an end to a longtime criticism of his teams.
"Well, it means they can't say I can't win the big one," Dahl said with a huge grin on his face. "Isn't that funny?"
For the Huskies right now, it's a riot.

ARLINGTON, Texas — Lonnie Chisenhall drove in nine runs, tying a Cleveland record, and had three homers among his five hits against Texas leading the Indians to a 17-7 win.
Chisenhall had two-run home runs in the second and fourth innings Monday night before hitting a three-run shot down the right field line in the eighth to give the Indians a 17-6 lead.
Chisenhall becomes only the fourth major league player since RBIs became a statistic in 1920 to have at least five hits, nine RBIs and three homers in a game, and he is the first since Boston's Fred Lynn in 1975, according to the Indians.
The other nine-RBI game in Cleveland history was by Chris James against Oakland on May 4, 1991. The last player to drive in nine runs in a game was the New York Mets' Carlos Delgado in 2008.
It was the first three-homer game for the Indians since Sept. 17, 2010, by Shin-Soo Choo, who now plays for the Rangers.
Chisenhall also had an RBI single in the first and a run-scoring double in the sixth.

STARKVILLE, Miss. - Super Bowl XLVII is guaranteed to have two former Mississippi State football players squaring off against each other Feb. 3 in New Orleans for a chance to hoist the Vince Lombardi Trophy. Following this weekend's National Football League divisional playoff round, Anthony Dixon's San Francisco 49ers will travel to Charles Mitchell's Atlanta Falcons Sunday at 2 p.m. CT (Fox), while Pernell McPhee's Baltimore Ravens will travel to Kyle Love's New England Patriots at 5:30 p.m. CT (CBS).
The former Bulldogs have not been silent in this year's NFL playoffs, with each player making an impact for their respective team. In the fourth quarter of San Francisco's divisional round victory against Green Bay, Dixon scored from two yards out to put the 49ers up, 45-24, putting the proverbial nail in the coffin.
In New England, Love was a part of a Patriots' defensive line that held Houston All-Pro running back Arian Foster to under 100 yards. Foster had entered the game as the first player in NFL history with 100-plus rushing yards in his first three postseason games.
With the Ravens down, 28-21, with 2:47 left in the first half, McPhee sacked future Hall of Fame quarterback Peyton Manning, forcing a fumble that Baltimore recovered. The big defensive play by McPhee led to the Ravens tying the game with 20 seconds left in the half, giving Baltimore momentum as it won an instant classic, 38-35, in double overtime.
Mitchell was part of a key play in the second quarter of the Falcons' win. With Atlanta up 13-0 , Seattle went for it on fourth and one. Mitchell was part of the defense that stepped up and stuffed Seahawks fullback Michael Robinson for a loss of one.
Along with these former Bulldogs making news, 2011 MSU All-American defensive lineman Fletcher Cox capped off an impressive rookie year with more honors. Cox, who garnered 39 total tackles, 5.5 sacks and a forced fumble this season for the Philadelphia Eagles, was named to the Pro Football Weekly/Pro Football Writers Association All-Rookie team, announced Sunday. Last week, Cox was also named to Mel Kiper's ESPN All-Rookie team.

Mark Fichtel of the New York Board of Trade (NYBOT) spoke about trading futures in this expanding technology market. During his PowerPoint presentation, he discussed the state of the coffee futures and options market, including some information about the infamous "C" contract.
The Symposium took a turn towards the science side of things when Dr. Gerrit van der Stegen, of Sara Lee/Douwe Egberts, the Netherlands, discussed the facts versus fiction of ochratoxins - an extremely toxic compound found in crops, grains, and a number of stored food compounds including coffee that may cause damage to the liver as well as the kidneys. He discussed the damages that ochratoxins can cause and why the industry should try and protect the beans from them. An audience member had some questions about the feasibility of regulating ochratoxins. He thought the cost would be too exorbitant and not worth the trouble. Other members of the audience were against any type of regulation because, in their opinions, ochratoxins are not dangerous enough. Van der Stegen listed simple and inexpensive procedures used throughout the harvesting process to protect the beans from being infected by ochratoxins.
Moving from the chemical side of coffee to the marketing of it, Suzanne Brown of public relations agency Hope-Beckham, U.S., talked about the slow movement of RTD coffee drinks. Her presentation touched on the competition that RTD coffee faces from sports drinks, soy beverages, and energy drinks. She informed the audience that the estimated amount of $232 million in wholesale dollars for RTD coffee in 2000 is expected to explode to $23 billion by 2005. The success of the Frappuccino and its lack of a competitor were also discussed. Brown spoke about the growing trend of consumers wanting a "grab-and-go" product and the popularity of coffee and coffee drinks, especially in Asia. She gave pointers in distribution, positioning, and creating a brand name. Her presentation included an example of a successful marketing campaign, which took the product to the consumers and let them sample the product to help create brand awareness.
We concluded the second day with a discussion about the opportunities that exist in the Chinese and Russian markets. Sergey Kassianenko, chairman of Orimi Trade said that we will continue to see coffee growing in popularity in Russia. Russian imports are expected to increase 16% this year. Coffee has become very popular with Russia's more affluent and more educated population. Kassianenko said that traditionally Russians consume both tea and coffee, rarely are they solely coffee drinkers.
Joăo Staut of Cafés do Brasil discussed the situation in China. Unlike Russia, coffee only has an audience in the big cities in China. He said that it had not been established if coffee had developed a following or is just a passing fad. If China could be tapped as a consuming resource, the benefits would be felt world wide for the coffee community. He doesn't see an explosion of popularity for the next 10 years especially since coffee is only being marketed to the wealthiest Chinese people.
Pods, Marketing, and Don't Forget the Birds
On the last day of the Symposium, Dan Cox, president of Coffee Enterprises, U.S., started the early morning session by discussing current global retail trends. He talked about the Americanization of Europe in terms of coffee marketing. He emphasized the explosion of companies like Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks. He discussed how the "on-the-go" mentality is easing into European consumers' habits.
Patrick Bewley was the chairman of the day and jumped right into this day's presentations. Fabio Franceshi, of IMA, discussed the espresso pod and its market potential. He went through the development of the espresso pod and its exploding popularity. He included pictures of pods - past, present and future.
Next up was Julie Barrett, category director for Dunkin' Donuts, who discussed ways to keep a product's popularity on the market. She went through successful Dunkin' Donuts campaigns including their Coffee Coolata's explosion on the market. She gave some useful tips to help promote a product including always putting quality first, having knowledge of customers, and being proactive.
Changing from marketing to quality in the cup, Krystell Guzman, Café Jade, U.S., and Willem Boot of Boot Consulting, the Netherlands/U.S., talked about producing the highest quality cup of coffee. They discussed developing coffee blends and marketing single origin espresso. Some of their advice for success in running a coffeehouse included beginning by investigating the most successful coffeehouse in town, making sure that baristas have extensive training and that shop workers know the equipment. For roasters, they suggested studying the two most successful local competitors' practices and improving on them, attending a local cupping session at a local coffee importer and, maybe most important, visiting an origin country.
The final discussion of the Symposium revolved around Fairtrade, Sustainability, Shade-Grown & Bird-Friendly. Hans Bolscher of Max Havelaar, David Rosenberg of Royal Ahold, and Chris Wille of Rainforest Alliance talked about the benefits of socially conscious coffee and its feasibility on the market. David Rosenberg discussed how Royal Ahold - as one of the largest food providers in the world - continued to grow while maintaining a commitment to the environment. Hans Bolscher talked about the oversupply problem. And, Chris Wille discussed the economical benefits for small farmers when they grow shade grown coffee.
With all of the exciting topics and the knowledgeable speakers, the three days of the Coffee Symposium provided enough information to satiate any participant until our next conference in 2002 in Bangkok.

The Hawks have had a fairly high-octane offense for most of this year, even if it wasn't reflected in their record. They entered Monday's contest against the Miami Heat with a record of 20-19, but were leading the league in assists poer game and were averaging over 102 points per game.
On Monday, it was a race to get to 120 points first, as the Hawks and Heat kept a fast pace for 48 minutes. The Hawks managed to hold on for a 121-114 victory, despite 30 points from LeBron James and 21 points from Chris Bosh.
The win for Atlanta broke a nine-game losing streak against Miami.
Paul Millsap had 26 points and seven rebounds for Atlanta, coming through down the stretch as the go-to option in the post. Millsap hit 10 of 11 free throws while also making 8 of 13 shots from the floor. The Hawks did well keeping the ball moving, with 33 assists compared to just 13 turnovers. Shelvin Mack had seven of those assists off the bench, while Jeff Teague and Kyle Korver each had six.
DeMarre Carroll had 19 points for Atlanta, including three 3-pointers. Pero Antic, moved into a starting role since Al Horford's injury, had 17 points and six rebounds. Kyle korver, with 12 points, hit a three to extend his NBA-record consecutive games streak of making a three-pointer to 109 games.
The Hawks, now 21-19, are back to third place in the Eastern Conference. They sit far back of Indiana (12 games) and are ahead of a three-way tie between Toronto, Washington, and Chicago by one game.
The Hawks are traveling to Orlando to face the Magic (11-31) tonight at 7:00 PM.

The game is the fourth between the Metropolitan Division rivals this season, with the Devils having won the previous three by a combined 11-5.
In addition to having visions of snowflakes falling on the infield ice at Yankee Stadium, the third-year Devils coach also has a big decision to make Saturday when his team practices at the iconic ballpark.
Who will be his starting goalie against the Rangers, Martin Brodeur or Cory Schneider?
DeBoer acknowledged after a 2-1 victory against the Washington Capitals on Friday that each has played well this season.
"It's a tough decision and that's a credit to both these players" DeBoer said. "I will make a decision first thing [Saturday]. But it just shows the type of professionals both guys are; they've handled this so well all year long."

Orientation Sensor Tips in Android
I went through some pretty frustrating times recently trying to detect the physical orientation of the mobile device in Android recently so I figure I'll share my experience and what I learned here to hopefully prevent some pain for others out there.
Android has sensors to handle everything from acceleration to tricorder readings and all of them are managed via the SensorManager class. In order to detect changes to any sensor's reading you need to register a SensorListener with the manager.
First, I recommend creating your SensorListener inside your activity.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
private final SensorListener sl = new SensorListener() { public void onSensorChanged(int sensor, float[] values) { } public void onAccuracyChanged(int sensor, int accuracy) { } };
Next you'll want to find the Android SensorManager and register your SensorListener to listen for SENSOR_ORIENTATION events. It's best to put this code in your onCreate function of your Activity.
1 2 3 4 5 6
// Locate the SensorManager using Activity.getSystemService SensorManager sm; sm = (SensorManager) getSystemService(SENSOR_SERVICE); // Register your SensorListener sm.registerListener(sl, SensorManager.SENSOR_ORIENTATION SensorManager.SENSOR_DELAY_NORMAL);
Now your listener will be catching orientation events from the SensorManager. As the orientation changes the onSensorChanged method of your listener will be repeatedly called. The first parameter of the method should match the SensorManager.SENSOR_ORIENTATION value, assuming you didn't register it to listen to any other sensors. The second parameter will contain a float array of 3 values; Azimuth, Pitch, and Roll respectively.
Azimuth is used to detect your compass direction, where 0 = North, 90 = East, etc.. Pitch is used to track your devices side to side orientation, where vertical is around 0, tilted so the left side is on top is around 90, and tilted so the right side is on top is around -90. The documentation for pitch says the values range between -180 and 180, however when I tested this with my G1 device I found the values would not go beyond +/-90. As the device is tilted upside down the values would return back to 0 instead of +/- 180. This would make detecting whether the device is being held upside down or not rather difficult. I have not found a solution for this yet. The final value in the float array, roll, represents the degree to which the device is tilted back and forth.
I was only concerned with the side to side Orientation of the device, so I monitored only the pitch value like below and was able to easily track the device orientation.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
float pitch = values[2]; if (pitch <= 45 && pitch >= -45) { // mostly vertical } else if (pitch < -45) { // mostly right side up } else if (pitch > 45) { // mostly left side up }
The primary source of my previously mentioned frustration was from a class I first attempted to use called OrientationListener which extends the SensorListener class. From the name and the documentation you might think this would be the ideal class to use for listening to orientation changes, but it isn't, at least as far as I can tell. When registered in the same manner above the class will call back on it's onOrientationChanged funciton instead. The documentation says that values passed to this method represent the degrees of orientation of the device between 0 and 359 however in testing with my G1 I found the values to be completely useless and incorrect. Perhaps my G1 isn't functioning properly (although the above method using the SensorListener works just fine) or more likely I'm just implementing the OrientationListener incorrectly. I don't know because I haven't taken a look at the source code behind it yet. Perhaps this class needs to be depricated though, regardless, I'd recommend steering clear of it until some more appropriate examples of using it surface.

Howdy, howdy boys and girls.
I'm still here, just awfully busy.
DW lost her job 03 August, so the last few months have been a real challenge for us...our util is going in the WRONG direction...
The good news is that she starts a new job 01 November, so there IS light at the end of the tunnel, but it seems awfully far away.
No Apps since 08 August...I'm about two weeks shy of my silver spade...
Well, in terms of good news / bad news, at least you started with bad news but ended with good news... much better than the other way around! Congrats to your wife for finding a new job and best wishes to her.
Silver spade on the horizon... woo hoo!!!

I got another SW today, and my EQ score has gone up 5 points! I'm now at 722, which is only 1 point shy of where I was before my recent app spree.
This latest boost was from my BoA Visa Signature card "settling" into my garden. Since it's a BoA siggy card, the $5000 CL doesn't report, only the high balance. I had charged and paid off a little over $300 before the very first statement cut, but there was an additional last minute ~$200 charge came through and there was no time to get it paid before the statement cut. So, the card must have been weighted in as being close to maxed out -- yuck! Well, this past month I got my high balance up to $1216 and once again closed out the statement with another charge of around $200. Now the card doesn't look maxed out, so I got a score boost! Next month I'll try to see if I can close out the statement with a $0 balance, and at some point I should be able to up my high balance. But for now, I'm much happier with the way that my siggy card is reporting.
All in all, my little seedlings are settling into my garden very nicely! Now that I've had a couple of statement cycles pass, I have more control over issues relating to the timing of util reporting. Glad see my scores on the rise!

Still gardening, Beacon 5.0 score has flatlined at 643 for the past few months, ah well. Looking back at my plan with more experience, I think I should've applied for a CLI-chaser card (GE-backed something or other) to have something more short-term than the theoretical mortgage to look forward to from a credit building perspective.
I suppose it could be worse as at least I am barely over the minimum mortgage underwriting hurdle with that score .
Trying to build some measuring sticks in the rest of my life other than my finances, hopefully that'll keep me on track towards my goals.
Stick with it Revelate! It sure does seem like you've come a long way in less than 12 months. So imagine what will happen as time continues to take effect. Inquiries falling off, baddies falling off, AAoA increasing, etc. will all bring you to the level you need for that desired mortgage. Congrats on all the progress, and keep your head held high.

Eleven (more) reasons to switch to GlassFish
By sharps on Sep 04, 2006
More kind words from consultant and author Adam Bien - with some more experience of GlassFish he is more specific about what he likes. Read his previous post on GlassFish here.
Many of the things he points out on his list are about ease of use - something we've really been pushing for in the last couple of years and also a major focus of Java EE 5. If there are improvements you'd like to see - why not attend one of the user experience meetings - they're currently run by Sun employees but open to absolutely anyone with an interest in seeing improvements.

Perhaps now Tom Milone is starting to get the attention he deserves, as one of our favorites here will be representing Syracuse in the 2011 International League All-Star Game in Salt Lake City on July 13.
The 24-year-old southpaw currently sports a 6-5, 3.41 ERA in 14 starts and leads the league in strikeouts. For folks more interested in new-school numbers, Milone leads the league in FIP (2.15, ahead of Julio Teheran), second to Teheran in WHIP, the lowest walk rate (0.50/9IP), and sports a 19:1 K/BB ratio.
Milone was the 2010 pitcher of the year for the Washington Nationals farm system and came into the season as the #16 prospect in the 2011 Baseball America Top 30 rankings. He's been recently featured by John Sickels as the Prospect of the Day.
Last, but not least, Milone was the first prospect that I scouted for this site when it was founded by Jordan Tuwiner of Orioles-Nation.com. He's a favorite of mine because he's not the blow-it-by-you thrower, but a pitcher who just gets guys out and has sensational control (that 2.14BB/9 is the worst year of his career; his career average is 1.43). And FWIW, not too shabby a hitter, either (.333BA this season, .233 career).
4 Responses to "Milone To Represent Syracuse In IL All-Star Game"
Big props to Tom Milone; All this kid does is get hitters out.
Great news! I think Marrero should've got a spot, Antonelli would have also got a spot had he played a full AAA season
Purely a personal opinion, but my Top-5 candidates for upcoming promotions (pitchers / hitters) are currently…
Pitchers –
1) Chad Gaudin (28yo RRP/SP, WSH rehab); Return to WSH 25-man (rehab expiring).
2) Christopher Manno (22yo LRP, HAG); HAG to POT bullpen.
3) Tom Milone (24yo LSP, SYR); SYR to WSH 25/40-man.
4) Craig Stammen (27yo RSP/RP, SYR): SYR to WSH 25-man.
5) Brad Peacock (23yo RSP, HAG); HAG to SYR rotation.
Hitters –
1) Rick Ankiel (31yo OF, WSH rehab); Return to WSH 25-man (rehab expiring).
2) Matt Antonelli (26yo IF, SYR): SYR to WSH 25/40-man.
3) Bryce Harper (18yo OF, 40-man [HAG]); HAG to POT.
4) Jeff Kobernus (23yo 2B, POT); POT to HAR.
5) HHWNBN (24yo IF, GCL); GCL to POT.
My 'bottom-5' for demotion / DFA to make room for promotions…
1) Garret Mock (28yo RSP, 40-man [DL-HAR]); A seven-figure arm with a 10-cent head. Just put him out of our misery, please.
2) Matt Stairs (43yo PH-DH, WSH 25-man); Brings all but nothing to the table with the completion of inter-league play. Cut him at the All-Star break, if not before.
3) Chad Gaudin (28yo RRP/SP, WSH rehab); Takes away from, rather than adds to current DC bullpen.
4) Adam Carr (27yo RRP, 40-man [DL-SYR]); Indifferent numbers at AAA while healthy.
5) Chien-Ming Wang (31yo RSP, WSH rehab); Just because I'm tired of waiting for him.
I hear that HHWNBN has a lot of family with that "WNBN" last name.

HERVE LEGER SS13 The ambiance at fashion week is like nowhere else, well the ambiance in New York is like nowhere else at all in general. People are rushing from one place to another, so opened and friendly. The streets have a crazy energy which is definitely overwhelming. It's quite unusual to me actually. Loved admiring all the beautiful people around, all the models and fashion editors in the street wearing bright colors and fancy shoes, not exactly something you can see on a daily basis in Switzerland. Well, it feels good to have a little change of atmosphere. Especially this kind of one! On our second day in New York we were attending the Hervé Léger fashion show which was definitely the highlight of the day. The collection was so sexy, elegant and modern at the same time. I was hypnotized by the incredible structures and colors which seemed to me perfect for next summer. Beware the strap swimwear, going to leave highly fashionable/eccentric shade on the body. At least you'll be able to say that it's by Hervé Léger.
Here's a couple of pictures James took while I was posing for the streetstyle photographers, never have I seen so many of them. It was amazing, they seemed all really motivated and I must believe they had the occasion to snap some gorgeous pictures since there were so many beautiful people around the Lincoln Center. Once the show was finished it was the occasion to chat with some of my blogger pals that I haven't seen for a while, fashion week is the perfect moment to catch up : everybody is in the same place at the same time. For the occasion I decided to wear an all white outfit, and yes most of it is from Zara and I am not even ashamed to say it. Why should I be? They do amazing clothing. I think the only non-Zara piece from this outfit are my shoes which are from Vicini. Love them so much, they seemed like a perfect match with my whole outfit. Also fact : don't ask me how I did my hair… We were running late to the show and I just took a scratchy and twisted my hair around into a low bun. Yep, sometimes a lack of time and a little stress can do great things!

Comments about National Geographic Kids Mission: Wolf Rescue:
My children and I volunteer with a wolf preserve. I bought this book for them, but have found myself reading it too. This book provides a wonderful collection of real wolf biologies, information about those who work in the field to promote conservation, and information about wolves in today's world. I highly recommend it for anyone who is interested in reading about wolves, especially for those who would like to learn about how to help save and protect them.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Your turn to pick for book club? Make everyone read The Age of Miracles ($15) by Karen Thompson Walker. Though the doomsday premise may sound depressing, Walker's end-of-the-world plot unravels slowly, and as shown through the hopeful eyes of preteen Julia. Julia comes of age in a time of uncertainty while battling with everyday issues like her parents' divorce and the pangs of first love. The novel has us saying a quick thanks that the earth isn't slowing beneath our feet.

Nina wrote, "Hey Outblush Staff! I'm a small woman with large breasts (30DD). I need bras but hardly anyone makes them in my size. I try to squeeze into a size that might be similar like a 34C but that really doesn't work. It either hurts or I look...awkward. I either have to get them specially made or I have to go to a specialty shop where bras start at $80 a pop! I can't afford this and I'm at the point where I have one good bra left (it's getting pretty worn though). Can you please help me find an affordable bra in my size? Thanks, Nina."
We feel your pain, Nina - the world wants us to have big boobs, but won't help us support them if we do! All of the bras featured here are available in a 30DD; they are a little pricier than, say, a $12 Target or $20 Victoria's Secret Bra (we couldn't find 30DD at either of those places), but if you care for them well, they'll last awhile. A few tips: ONLY hand-wash them with a lingerie detergent like woolite, lay flat to dry on a clean towel, and never store them with the underwire twisted.
1 - Freya Summer Plunge Underwire Bra ($64)
2 - Calvin Klein Seductive Comfort T-Shirt Bra ($44)

I feel your pain! I'm a 32E. I'm a big fan of Le Mystere bras, but not all come in size 30. I found this community to be helpful: http://community.livejournal.com/thirty_twod
Oh, Emily, you're awesome! Thanks!
Try Bravissimo.com. Great stuff (bras, shirts, dresses, tops - everything) in great quality. It's in UK but shipping is really reasonable. I have gotten some really nice stuff there.
Hey Outblush, I saw this post and was inspired to get your advice for me. I am a 36DD and I'm trying to find a sports bra that I can actually wear to work out in. My problem is that they are still not secured and move too much when I work out. This is especially hard if I run on a treadmill or play DDR (Dance Dance Revolution). Please help me find a bra that I can work out in that works for me.
Hey Alex, try http://www.titlenine.com/
They seem like very supportive stuff.
Thank you so much Outblush!
Thanks outblush for you "SUPPORT" for Nina and everyone else in her situation.
Try ebay on the United Kingdom site. To find put in a search and them scroll to the bottom of the page. You will find them listed in blue near the bottom of the page. Here you can find the same brands as on Bravissimo - which is a great site- for less. I only buy when I can get the bra including postage for less than 20 or 25 dollars.
Brastop is another site that carries these same bras and discounts them.
The english bras also come in a 28 band size. Remember the support should come from the band more than the shoulder straps (thought they help). Also when you go down a band size you need to go up a cup size. Bravissimo and others will list a chart of size conversions for you.
As a 32FF, I've been there! I'll second the recommendation for Bravissimo -- I lived in the UK for a couple of years and still buy many of my bras from them. (Ditto for Brastop, who once replaced an entire order that got lost in the mail!)
Biggerbras.com has a lot of the same brands (my faves are Fantasie and Panache) and they also carry cup-sized swimsuits.
For a sports bra, I am a HUGE (get it? ha!) fan of Enell. Their bras resemble corsets, but your boobs won't move an inch. For really high-impact activity like running, I wear an Enell bra *and* a Frog Bra from Title 9 (the other bras Title 9 has did nothing for me). It's been my go-to combination for years, and I'm really happy with it. The Enell bras are expensive, but you can often find seconds on ebay for around $40.
BiggerBras.com definitely has an excellent selection of plus size undergarments for those Ladies who are of the plus size. Definitely for those Ladies who are looking for an excellent selection of Womens Apparel, whether it be bras, panties, shapewear or swimwear, I would more than recommend them to visit BiggerBras.com as they will be more than satisfied with what they have to offer at quite affordable prices.

While most people would not think of Herman Melville's classic of whaling and revenge as a great basis for science fiction comedy, the sketch artists known as Charles (Charlie Stockman and Chuck Armstrong) used "Moby-Dick" as the launching pad for their latest long form production.
Performing in the dark, with the only light provided by their space helmets, they take the audience on a hunt for a giant space cloud. "Moby Alpha" opened Friday (March 28) at the Ballard Underground in Seattle.
The brains behind the show consented to reveal a bit of their creative past and how they landed on stage with a whale of a tale.
How did two Charles end up working together making sketch comedy?
Stockman: We met at Stanford writing for the college humor magazine, The Chaparral. We became fast friends over our common affinity for Celtic whiskies and our fascination with the Police Academy series. Not long after graduating, Chuck convinced me to move up to Seattle to work on a web series called "Seattle Untimely."
Armstrong: It was supposed to be a Weekend Update type show with a Northwest focus but as it progressed it became more and more sketch-like. I had a friend who was putting on a sketch show, and asked us to open. At the time we had never done a live show before, so we wrote a twenty-minute set and came up with the clever name Charles.
Did you always go by Charlie and Chuck or did you have to change your names when you started working together?
Stockman: Also as far as the names go, fortunately, we have always gone by Chuck and Charlie, so the partnership didn't have to begin with a skirmish over Charles nicknames.
Armstrong: Although our first show did actually have a bit about that. The premise was that nobody wants Chaz.
After moving "Moby-Dick" into space, what parts survived?
Stockman: We keep a lot of the big ideas but change the specifics, and in the process frequently undermine them. For example, we have a Moby-Dick character, but it's not a whale, it's an amorphous energy cloud. And we have doubloon, but it's just been replicated and is hence valueless. We kept the harpoons though, gotta have those.
Armstrong: Also, most people haven't read "Moby-Dick," which gives us some room to tweak the story where it suits us, especially in the middle. Still, for those who have read the book, I think they will be pleasantly surprised by how many elements and scenes have survived the adaptation. Unless their favorite part of "Moby-Dick" is the Cetology chapter, which is just incorrect facts about whales. We cut that.
Stockman: If we ever extend the show, I kind of think we should consider adding that in.
Armstrong: What, so, like a fifteen minute monologue of incorrect science?
Stockman: People love that!
So what's the biggest challenge of telling a big fish tale in Ballard, traditional home of Seattle's fishing fleet?
Stockman: Is a whale a fish?
Armstrong: According to the Cetology chapter in "Moby-Dick" it is.
Stockman: Fortunately, in Moby Alpha, we don't have whales, we have energy clouds. So we don't have to worry about some know-it-all Ballard fisherman telling us that a whale is or isn't a fish.
Armstrong: Of course, it's probably hard to find a Ballard fisherman today amongst all the luxury condos.
What's the biggest reward of performing in Seattle?
Armstrong: The sketch community is great. Everyone who's here working on comedy really cares about what they're doing and genuinely wants the scene to thrive.
Stockman: Seattle also has great audiences. They are smart and willing to get weird with you, but they are also down for more mainstream comedy if that's what you want to do. Basically, we've never felt that we had to shape our comedy to fit a set of expectations in Seattle, which has meant that we have been able to develop our own style.
The remaining "Moby Alpha" performances take place on April 4, 5, 11, and 12 at the Ballard Underground, 2220 Market St. Visit the website for more information on times and tickets. The Cetology chapter and the rest of "Moby-Dick" can be read online at Project Gutenberg.
