Ultra-wideband (UWB) communication systems are used in indoor environments with dense multi-path characteristics. Therefore channel estimation has an important role in the receiver of these systems. A new approach for data-aided (DA) and non-data-aided (NDA) channel estimation is proposed, which is called the pulse compression (PC) method. This method is useful for UWB systems employing time-hopping pulse position modulation. The PC method requires only some basic operations such as sampling, overlap-add and finite impulse response filtering. The PC method, in both DA and NDA scenarios, in spite of its low complexity, outperforms the maximum-likelihood (ML) method in channel parameters estimation. The bit error rate (BER) of the DA method, in single-user scenario, performs as well as the ML method, and in multi-user scenario, in the worst case, there is only 0.5 dB loss compared with the ML method. In the case of NDA scenario, the proposed method outperforms the NDA-ML method, that is, in the single-user scenario about 4 dB gain at the BER of 10-3 is observed. In multi-user scenario, it outperforms significantly the NDA-ML method, and its performance loss in comparison with the perfect channel knowledge scenario is about 3 dB at the BER of 10-3.

The Banner Saga: Factions out now
The Banner Saga: Factions is out now on Steam. It's a free-to-play, multiplayer spin-off to story-driven single-player RPG The Banner Saga, the product of a couple of former BioWare staffers at Stoic Games expected later this year. The turn-based strategy affair is getting hammered by launch interest, so be patient while you wait your turn.

Overall Experience:
The School is a great school to go. One thing I like about TSTC, the teacher helps break down the material their teaching. The teachers is always available at work and home. They help students find jobs that's in the field they are in.
Overall Experience:
I would choose this school every time because, the teachers want you to succeed in your life and they help you find a job so when you graduate you can go straight to work.
Tuition & Financial Aid:
When you lose financial aid for a semester it hurts, some of us do not have jobs and parents that can afford to pay. It would be nice if you could create your own payment plan and have it paid by the end of the semester. It would be great if there was an emergency loan or book loan. But other then that Mrs Pam is the BEST financial aid adviser.
Academic Experience:
My academic experience has been ok, I have had great teachers like the Delarosas and then a very rude careless teacher. I do not like online classes on other campuses because it is hard to communicate with the teacher. But all and all it has been ok.
Academic Experience:
I wish that tstc marshall would have more courses like the other tstc campuses.
Online Courses:
Some online classes are great, but Example Medical Coding should NOT be online.
Student Body:
90% of the student I have met have been very friendly and nice. We all kind of stick together.
Academic Flexibility:
This is the first college I have ever been to. I have had good and bad experiences. Most of the teachers are there for you when you need help but there are a couple that seem to not care at all. Its hard trying to find a adviser to make your schedule, or even contact you back. But this is a good school to start your college experience.
Career Services:
The teachers give you real life situations and help you get ready for the future.
Campus Resources:
The resources at this school are great, there are enough computers with internet access. It would be even better if there was a way for students to print out.
Academic Experience:
I am a office technology major, and the classes I have taken so far are exactly everything I expected. But i set a high standard, and I knew I would be taking on some aggressive challenges, along with; work, school, children, volunteer work with the animal hospital. It's everything I expected. The classes associated with the major are not overwhelming, but challenging.
Tuition & Financial Aid:
the tuition is extremely cheap but if your parents or you made over $50k be prepared to be denied everything except for student loans
Academic Experience:
so far every instructor has been great except for one but the circumstances were understandable in her situation.
Campus Resources:
The network in the main campus area is alright, but in the hosing area the network signal is constantly up and down along with the speeds and half the time end up going to mcdonalds for free wifi
Campus Resources:
TSTC marshall is lacking any form of athletic center at the moment, but that's not what the kind of people that come here are really here for. the main classrooms are all in a large visually appealing building in the center that is generally very easy to navigate, and the library has a good enough selection for student use.
Student Body:
the students here at tstc are a bit of a rag-tag bunch. there's not that many of us compared to a full university though, so we tend to group together pretty quickly and get along fine.
Campus Resources:
TSTC in marshall has an amazing atmosphere and very small class sizes. the previous university i went to was so overcrowded that the professors barely knew i was there when it came time to get help. there's no real athletics programs or performing arts here for the most part, but that's not what you're there for. the programs offered are excellent and i wouldn't have it any other way.
Career Services:
I feel that T.S.T.C should offer job placement after graduation so that us as students can feel more encouraged on having a great paying job. I have been struggling to paying for classes and I feel nervous that I won't be able to find a job
Campus Resources:
TSTC Marshall has many resources available. In addition to having very helpful faculty and staff. TSTC offers many types of assistance to students in need.
Campus Resources:
Networking Is Great – the networking is easy and anytime it shuts down the is someone there to fix it asap. everything is done just about online so they keep it up and running at all times. if you do have problems most professors will give students thier numbers for you to call them and let them know that you are having problems. it dont matter if you dont understand the assignment or your having problems with the network they are always happy to help.
Academic Experience:
Classes Fit the Fields – I'm a CAD major and before going to college i had some knowledge of the field. My father was in this field and i learned alot from him. the classes are basid to teach you how to work in the real world and thats exactly what i learned in my classes.
Academic Experience:
the professors are very involved with helping students learn what they need to work in their field. they offer tutoring to all students whom need help. the campus is easy to move around in and hard to get lost because there is always some one willing to help you find your way. the student programs are fun to join and the are always helping others.

Cherries don't go as well as fava beans do with liver and a nice Chianti. They make me gassy.
I love cherries soooooooo much. We had four cherry trees on the farm I grew up on and every year I would spend an hour or so barefoot in the dirt picking the best ones right off the trees. *sigh* I miss tree ripened fruit. Cherries were my favorite and plums came in a close second.
When I first saw that pic, I thought it was going to be a Charles post and was seriously worried what was to come.
Angela Garbesbetter than cherries.
The only thing better than cherries is having a girlfriend who can tie a cherry stem into a knot with her tongue.
Annie- You know you can always call or email us in Customer Service at P.O. to get credit for an item if it's sub-par, right? It'll give us something to do on these long, slow afternoons (aside from reading Slog, of course).
starbucks should bring back the cherry canoe, a vaguely obscene pastry that was also the inspiration for my dj name. i still wouldn't drink their coffee but, damn, that cherry canoe was naughty.
I almost worked at Pioneer Organics. Decided to take a job at summer camp instead. Ahhh, irresponsible youth.
But I'm still a customer of theirs. Good stuff.
@6. Yes. Oh, but it's so nice when customer service comes to me! The fava beans are fine, I think. But if not, I'll email.
wasn't that low for Erica to try and one-up you? i hate that shit. here's the chilling recipe which prompted my crassness towards her, the cunt. her and Feit are into using Slog to talk trash, so very fuckin low- get back to student council, you dips.
Annie, it seems to me that basil is pretty abundant in the markets these days. While it may not be fresh basil directly from someone's garden, it's still usable for this purpose. Another possibility is to buy a basil plant and, instead of putting it in the ground, clipping off what you require when making the recipe. Hey, if you have enough basil left over (a few leaves) then set the rest of the plant in a window, water it and enjoy basil throughout the summer.

I can't help wonder why I don't belong, even though I have all the right parts to fit and complete the puzzle. I can't help but wonder why the hell I try so hard and receive nothing.

Started From The Bottom...
I considered starting up something new just for this purpose, but, when everything is said and done, I would like to be able to look back and see my whole journey from start to finish, and the beginnings that led me to where I am now, and to where I'm going.
First stop on the journey: My days of being fat are numbered.
I've made a few steps forward on this and a hundred steps back, but now the wheels are in motion, and there's no going back. Eighteen months from now, I will be a completely different person, not only physically, but in every other metaphysical form there is.
After TONS of research, idea kicking-around, advice, and soul searching, I have opted to go for weight loss surgery. I'm realizing that after much failure, I can't do this on my own, and I'm out of time to lose what I need to in order to be healthy. Lucky for me now, I am still relatively healthy despite my current size, but I'd rather not tempt fate any longer, because I know that luck is temporary.
I am beyond excited, so much in fact that I've already started compiling a list of my NSVs (Non-Scale Victories). It started small; things like being able to cross my legs again, and being able to buckle my seatbelt on a plane without the use of an extender, wearing straight sizes again. From there it grew into this monster list that I continue to add on to every day. I saw all the things I've either been missing out on or have lost the ability to do because of my size- It was humbling and embarrassing. I realize that, along with my body, my whole life has to change. I've been priming myself a little at a time for the last few months for this, so then when crunch time comes, the transition won't be so jarring. In the interim before surgery, I will be using the Weight Watchers program, which I'm actually pretty excited about. The support system is exactly what I need; it will make me more accountable when I know I have people rooting for me to succeed, and at this point, I have no choice- it's succeed or lose my life.
By now you're probably wondering what the process is and how much I want/have to lose. Well..
Before I'm even near an operating table, I have to lose 35 lbs in 6 months with the help of WW. Sort of a show of good faith that (1) I've made an attempt to lose weight without surgery, and (2) That I'm capable of committing to a healthy lifestyle. I totally get it.
After that, I have 6 more months to continue to lose weight, have to go through a litany of tests to make sure the old bod is up for such a thing, oh, and have to see a SHRINK to make sure I'm not secretly crazy or anorexic or gonna throw myself in front of a train before, after or during surgery, so there's that. Once ALL of that is out of the way and I pass, the Bariatric Surgeon and his team will clear me for surgery, and the rest will be history.
At the end of the day, my goal is to lose 175lbs total.
Think about that.
175 pounds is a WHOLE PERSON. And not even a small person. I literally need to take off a whole human being in order to be healthy and back where I want to be weight wise.
I don't plan to go for the gold and get super skinny- My body isn't made that way, and I honestly enjoy having a little extra cushion, I just don't want to be the whole couch.
It is a BRAND NEW DAY, ladies and gentlemen.Which brings me to step two:
Getting right on the inside.
During this journey to get my body and health right, I'll also be working on my soul. I've discovered Transcendental Meditation. I think it's something I've always been drawn to, and just never knew how to put it into action, or that it was actually something I could practice. I've always had an odd draw to the ocean. Being at or near the beach fills me with a calm I never have otherwise. When I'm away from it and I meditate, I imagine that's where I am; the waves rolling in, grabbing my worries, and washing them out to sea. It sounds really fucking hokey and new age-y, I know, but dammit of it doesn't help. I've started reading about TM, and it just sort of clicks with me. You actually have to take classes for it to learn how to do it the right way, so that's my plan. Your outside can't be good and healthy until you're good from within.
I have spent so many years not living my life, and only existing in it, and I'm so done with that. I want to be in control of myself again- I want to travel and take hikes and be able to do a cartwheel, and put on my socks without getting winded. You only get one life, and I'd like to have mine for as long as I can, and on my last days, be able to say that I did something with it. I've spent too many years being a prisoner to myself.
It's time I finally broke free.
Wednesday, May 27, 2015
OK, so let's start a list.
-Got over my ex: ✔
-Taken time to "find myself" after said breakup (whatever that means): ✔
-Attended a restaurant/movie/concert/wedding alone ✔
-Taken a trip solo: ✔x3
.. Oh, and lest we forget the biggest & baddest...
-Learned how to love myself and be comfortable with being single: ✔✔✔✔✔✔✔✔
.. Though it should be noted that such a task would be tough to complete when one has been single as long as I have.
I checked all the boxes, did all the stuff single people are supposed to do during their single days. I've had adventures and sowed my oats (or something), I've been the kick ass single chick for way longer than I signed up for, but I'm bored!! I'm done being single, it's not fun anymore. It's not fun attending social events and not having someone to rehash the highlights with over ice cream in your pajamas when it's over. It's not fun being out and about on a nice night in a cool place amongst all the other couples, and instead of hanging out, taking in the scenery, you dash to your car and leave instead of staying and looking like some lonely loser. Adventures are less fun when you don't have someone to share them with. I miss having someone to share moments with. I miss the 'sharing a look and not having to say a word cuz we just get each other' stuff. I miss being chosen. I miss connecting. I miss waking up next to someone, knowing that 99.9% of the reasons they'll smile that day is because of me. I miss the comfort of always having a date at social obligations, and not having to scramble for one. Mostly I miss the comfort and peace that only my chosen human can bring.
I miss it...more than I can articulate.

Breaking Up Is FUCKING AGONY.
In case I haven't mentioned before, Poppa is my BGF (Best Guy Friend). We're closer than close, more than friends, less than romantic, more than family. We talk multiple times a day, have our own weird language, he's my other half and my sanctuary. He told me recently that the reason he could never date me is because he puts me on a pedestal- he says he sizes up all potential mates to me, and loves me too much to ruin what we have with a relationship...kinda lame, but I guess I understand. I feel the same about him, and feel blessed that I have him in the capacity that I do. We've seen each other through everything- births, deaths, breakups, divorces, illness. We clicked instantly the day we met 12 years ago, and have never looked back.
It's now been seven days since he's spoken to me in any sort of friendly fashion.
Seven days ago, things were fine, normal.Then, suddenly, no warning, they..weren't. He's completely cut me off. The only communication we've had in the last week was a fight, 4 days ago, over (you guessed it) the fact that he's gone rogue and distant for no apparent reason. He's NEVER done this. EVER. Even when things were fucked up in his life, or he was having health problems, he ALWAYS came to me, usually first. We don't do this. This is so completely out of character for him that I contacted his ex wife, the only other one he speaks to, to see if she knows something I don't.
I'm flabbergasted, and so fucking devastated by this I could crumble to bits. Nothing happened, other than me canceling his birthday lunch because I had to work, which obviously shouldn't be relationship-ending. If you've read my posts in any capacity, you know that I'm no stranger to nasty breakups, but this...this is like a stick of dynamite to my heart, and I honestly don't know how I'm gonna make it through this. How does someone who was everything to you one day end up as a stranger the next? I've texted, called, emailed hoping for answers, and he just fucking ignores me. I'm just..sigh. I can't.

Sour Grapes
It sucks to still be pathetically single. It sucks worse to be bombarded by friends getting engaged all around you. In one day, five couples I know have gotten engaged. FIVE. In one day. Including my ex, for the second time. Meanwhile, a dude I dont even like decided he doesn't even want me. I am making a valiant effort to be happy for them. Some of them I actually don't have to fake. Still doesn't make it suck any less that it's them and not me. Doesn't make it suck less that I don't even have anyone on the radar to hope for.
I dont want to be this person. The bitter, lonely hag that begrudges everyone else's happiness, but my chances of that are slimming every single day.

I tried shaking it off last night, had Flaco in my bed, just for the company.. That man is so special to me. But even with him next to me, and all the comforts that come with him, I wished he was someone else in particular. I didn't deserve Flaco and all his amazing.
Is it possible to fall for someone that fast? Why would it hurt so bad if there wasn't real feelings involved? It's actually palpable, like it was a real break up. I got a taste of everything I wanted, and then it was snatched from me when I blinked. Keeping me blissfully ignorant would have been better than giving me a something I wanted but couldn't keep for myself...
Monday, December 15, 2014
Yeah, Ok.
We had two amazing dates, the second better than the first. Lots of smiling, kissing, laughing..he held my hand while we drove. He met the family- hugged my mom, sat and had an actual conversation with my kids for over an hour. Told me he couldn't wait to see me again as he was kissing me goodbye. We were on track, heading towards something awesome. I was like a shaken bottle of champagne.
Then it just...stopped.
Our conversations over the weekend were slim to none. He barely said 5 sentences to me, and that was only after I reached out to him. I tried calling him last night, and of course, he didn't answer, nor did he make any moves to return my call or text me to say he was busy. He texted me this morning with a simple 'How are you'. When I mentioned my call the night before, I tried to open things up, letting him know I was just hoping to hear his voice. Ordinarily when someone says that to you, it's a really sweet fucking gesture that hints that you're missed, and you should reply accordingly. Instead I got one word- 'Soon.'. What the fuck? How does someone respond to that?
Twenty minutes later, I couldn't take anymore, so I tapped out an 'are we cool?' message just to see where we stood. I wanted to make sure I hadn't possibly done something to offend him, or at the very least, give him the floor if he needed an out. At press time, it's now been about 5 hours since it was sent, and my message is still just hanging there. Guess I got my answer.
I um...I'm pretty well crushed, if I'm being honest. This isn't a 'cry about being single again' thing either. I had real feelings for this one, and it scares me a little how much it hurts. He pulled at something in me that I forgot was there, that I forgot how to use, and I allowed myself to just feel everything for a change...it was nice. I felt like I could breathe again. Now, old wounds have been torn open, ones that I closed up a long time ago, and I'm feeling pretty fucking rough.
There is no way that I can ever do this again. My heart can't take anymore. I fell, he didn't catch me- story of my life. Evidently I'm not worth catching..time to hang it up while I still have a tiny shred of dignity.

Faking It
Everyday I have to pretend I'm not dying inside. That's almost as hard as that dying part.
I don't begrudge my friends or family's happiness, I just want a little piece of my own. My second cousin is celebrating 43(!) years of marriage, that's amazing to me. But it also serves to remind me that I'll never have that.. A lifetime with someone I love. I feel like my life has been wasted waiting for that person, wondering if they'll ever come at all.

Product Overview
As with all of our Rolled Tone Hole models, our truly unique rolling process uses the saxophone's existing material; unlike rolled tone holes of the past, there is no soldering here, the tone holes are drawn from the body and then rolled over allowing superior resonance throughout the entire saxophone and increased response in all ranges. We've also enlarged the bell to compliment an already warm, fat sound. The PMXT-66 RUL's raw brass finish allows the saxophone, uninhibited by layers of lacquer, to resonate freely. In addition, the absence of lacquer allows the brass to age over time, creating a unique vintage look and feel, while allowing players to forge a mature sound that is uniquely their own.
Available finishes:
18K Gold Plate
Vintage Dark Lacquer

Cast: Haley (I), Ariana Jollee, Tyler Houston, Johnny Thrust (I), Mr. Pete, Scott Lyons, Rick Masters, Sarah Jordan, Jasmine Lynn, Vanessa (VII), Ciera Sage, Hollie Stevens, Andrew Rivera, Jay Ashley, Lisa Sparxxx, Soma (I), Emily Davinci, Buster Good
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: All-Sex
It\'s Gag Factor. You know how this sells.
The throat fucking magic in this edition of the series is as sparkly as ever and will please fans of this kind of oral.
Lisa Sparxxx gets punished for not having Jay Ashley's beer handy with a sound tonsil pounding. It's a good scene with Ashley's balls coated in spit and Sparxxx's mascara all over the place. She barfs a bunch of bile up at one point when he's face fucking her.
Lovers Jasmine Lynn and Johnny Thrust decide to make love to christen their new R.V., and what says love more than a face covered in slime? Not a frickin' lot. Thrust does have to remind her to not use her teeth, though. Emily Davinci takes Thrust's hand and cock at the same time and then swallows his cum with a smile. This reviewer hearts that attitude.
Ariana Jollee takes three cocks on in her scene, and Ciera Sage and Sarah Jordan double-team Scott Lyons and engage in some fine cum swapping.

Ok, the problem is presented like this:
- I have a single IP (188.8.131.52)
- I have multiple domains
- I work with subdomains for testing
So basically I need to host www.example.com, wwww.example2.com as well as subdomains for a couple of development users user1.example.com and user2.example2.com. On top of that www.example.com will also need to use port 443.
I've seen a lot of things suggested and none of them seem to work. Maybe I just need the blanks filled in here that will actually work?
Listen ???
NameVirtualHost ???
<VirtualHost ???>
DocumentRoot /home/user1/example.com

Then the same sort of thing for example2.com. Example2.com may use a different ssl cert than example.com, which I know will probably require a second IP address, but maybe someone here can advise.

Power Consumption
We are now able to find out what kind of power is being used by our test system and the associated graphics cards installed. Keep in mind; it tests the complete system (minus LCD monitor, which is plugged directly into an AC wall socket).
There are a few important notes to remember though; while our maximum power is taken in 3DMark Vantage at the same exact point, we have seen in particular tests the power being drawn as much as 10% more. We test at the exact same stage every time; therefore tests should be very consistent and accurate.
The other thing to remember is that our test system is bare minimum - only a 7,200RPM SATA-II single hard drive is used without CD-ROM or many cooling fans.
So while the system might draw 400 watts in our test system, placing it into your own PC with a number of other items, the draw is going to be higher.
Power wise; both chipsets perform identically. They are mirror images of each other.
Heat Generation
As a new measure, we are now monitoring the heat generation from the key components on the motherboards, this being the Northbridge, Southbridge (if it contains one) as well as the Mosfets around the CPU. The results are recorded at idle and load during the power consumption tests.
The P45 board runs slightly hotter on the MCH, but this could be due to its dual PCI Express x8 capabilities.

Is there any way to edit the code to remove the "close box" X in the left corner?
I love the both the "never see this again" user click function and/or the "don't show this if viewed less than x times" rule, which make the X useless and a bit of an eyesore on my site.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Love this plugin! This would put it over the top for me.

I'm having about the same problems as many others here too. Site was working fine, installed this plug-in and the moment I activated, the browser reports "Forbidden..." This is so bad, I can't even get to the login page on my WAMP/localhost to deactivate or uninstall this thing without seeing:
You don't have permission to access /wp-login.php on this server.
Apache/2.4.9 (Win32) PHP/5.5.12 Server at volzone Port 80
I've moved the plugin folder off. In mySQL, I've tweaked the wp-options > it_sec > hide backend thing. Restarted the server a dozen times. I completely deleted the instances of it_sec**** suggested by Viktor, no results. I've looked through wp-conf.php and don't see any offending "define" lines to comment out. The result is now always '403.
What should I do now besides scrap the whole project and re-do the whole thing?

It is your typical aquarium background , I use it as a background on my 10 gal. hospital tank , not much more to explain .
I figured when I purchased this background it was a self adhesive type thing. This is not the case, after quite a while trying to peel the background apart, I came here to find that someone else said to tape it. Had there been instructions included, I would have known this important piece of info from the start rather than wasting my time. My opinion is that for the high price of this plastic picture they could have at least included instructions. Total waste.
its a peice of decorated plastic wall paper.
No directions come with it.
it does not stick to the aquarium.

Using WP Multisite and all seemed to install fine, except when trying to change settings in Media: they will not save. Any advice? Thanks!
Using WP Multisite and all seemed to install fine, except when trying to change settings in Media: they will not save. Any advice? Thanks!
Let me clarify my previous comment: "Watch Cache?" and "Sharpen Image" select inputs will not save, other changes seem to change just fine.
I have the same problem. On top of that, the plus in does not work. I mean, it doesn't resize the images. At all.
1. Check if your .htaccess file is being read properly by your server, e.g. apache, nginx, or whatever your web server is.
2. Has the plugin created ai-cache folder in your uploads folder?
3. Are your plugin and ai-cache folder writable by you/ proper permissions?
4. Is your install a wp multisite installation and if so make sure your .htaccess file contains the correct rewrite line.
5. Check with the Adaptive Images dev support for possible troubleshooting techniques.
6. Try Wp-Responsive plugin.
7. Most importantly SHARE your fix or experience.
Good luck!
The adaptive rewrite rule needs to come before WP rewrite rules:
# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} wp-content/uploads/sites/7
RewriteRule \.(?:jpe?g|gif|png)$ wp-content/plugins/new-nine-adaptive-images/adaptive-images.php [L]
RewriteBase /

Social Helps Raytheon Build B2G relationships
While some might think security concerns would make social media not such a good fit for a government contractor, Raytheon CMO Pam Wickham says that's a bit of a miscalculation. "The level of social engagement has exploded," says Wickham. "The government understands that social channels are a good way to develop advocacy."
The defense and aerospace tech contractor maintains significant presences on Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn, and is also active on YouTube and Google+.
Facebook is used as a forum to recruit and engage prospective employees, while LinkedIn serves more as a networking forum for existing staff members. Twitter, meanwhile, serves as a channel to deliver news and create brand advocacy.
Raytheon judges the success of its social connections with a dashboard of metrics. "We focus less on numbers and more on engagement—it's not the old-fashioned numbers game of PR inches and ad dollars," says Wickham.
The company's social media efforts are managed by a digital team with a core group at the corporate level, and then by dedicated teams who oversee interactions with different business units enterprise-wide.
"We rarely do anything in just one channel, no matter what the message is," says Wickham. She notes that as soon as a piece of content is created, it is "merchandised" to multiple teams internally, such as PR or digital, so they can share it with different audiences.
Content that is multifaceted and tells a story leads to much broader engagement in most channels. Rather than stories like "Raytheon Announces XXX for the Pentagon," the content is a little more creative, with pieces such as a Valentine's Day story about synthetic diamonds in the defense industry.
"Clickthrough rates have skyrocketed," she says. "If followers are engaged and clicking through, they'll help amplify and share the story through their own channels. It's all about amplification."
For now, Raytheon is focused on building its network and engaging with followers. It has done tweet-ups related to different business platforms at trade shows, and related to community outreach initiatives that support veterans' activities. "It helps broaden our reach," says Wickham.
In 2010, Raytheon created a roadmap to understand how social touched every aspect of the company's communications strategy. It then did about eight months of research to see where the growth potential was. "In 2012 we were able to adapt and really capitalize on how this happens as a communications function," she says. "Now the focus is to make sure this permeates the organization—and to make sure our team is highly aware of what is happening in the channels, so we can scale access and match up a training program to responsibility and [specific] roles."

Objective consequentialism and the licensing dilemma

Frank Jackson has put forward a famous thought experiment of a physician who has to decide on the correct treatment for her patient. Subjective consequentialism tells the physician to do what intuitively seems to be the right action, whereas objective consequentialism fails to guide the physician's action. I suppose that objective consequentialists want to supplement their theory so that it guides the physician's action towards what intuitively seems to be the right treatment. Since this treatment is wrong according to objective consequentialism, objective consequentialists have to license it without calling it right. I consider eight strategies to spell out the idea of licensing the intuitively right treatment and argue that objective consequentialism is on the horns of what I call the licensing dilemma: Either the physician's action is not guided towards the intuitively right treatment. Or the guidance towards the intuitively right treatment is ad hoc in some respect or the other.

Sterling Publishers
Poetry for young readers appears in many forms: lullabies, silly verses, thoughtful story-poems and jingles to tantalize and memorize. Following are recent poetry collections including long-lost treasures, expressive poems to accompany music, the beauties of nature, and a story told in free verse.
"GOODNIGHT SONGS," by Margaret Wise Brown, Sterling, $17.95 (ages 3-6)
Margaret Wise Brown (1910-1952), one of the world's most loved authors of children's books, is best remembered for "Goodnight Moon" and "The Runaway Bunny." At the time of her death, she left a trunk full of unpublished manuscripts that, according to the executor of her estate, were "gathered with rusted paper clips."
"Goodnight Songs" is part of a larger collection of the author's poems with original songs for which she had been writing music.
Each of the 12 poems in this new anthology, which is about dreams, night skies and solemn slumber, is illustrated by an award-winning artist. A brief biography of each artist appears in the glossary. A CD is included with new music for this volume of poetry.
"Goodnight Songs" is an ambitious and remarkable addition to the legacy of Brown and will be a treasure for a family bookshelf.
"SUMMONING THE PHOENIX: Poems and Prose About Chinese Musical Instruments," by Emily Jiang, illustrated by April Chu, Shen's Books, $18.95 (ages 5-11)
"Summoning the Phoenix" introduces 12 Chinese musical instruments with expressive poems about children learning to combine their talents into a grand Chinese orchestra. Sidebars on double-page spreads provide a guide to pronunciation and the history of each instrument. Short verses provide the thoughts of the musicians. One girl with a yangqin whispers, "I must play softly / Says the conductor." Two boys have a competition with a suona: "We play as fast as we can / until the music turns to mush."
The exquisite paintings, the fascinating instruments and the feelings of the young musicians told in verse make "Summoning the Phoenix" a total artistic experience for readers of all ages.
"HI, KOO! A YEAR OF SEASONS," by Jon J. Muth, Scholastic, $17.99 (ages 4-8)
Koo, Panda nephew of Stillwater ("Zen Shorts"), frolics through 26 scenes of nature with haiku-like poetry representing seasons of the year. "Icicles / reach down with dripping fingers / Will they touch the ground?" is illustrated with a soft winter afternoon as Koo and twins (author Jon Muth admits they are his own children) measure the hanging ice.
At the very end, Koo sits with a cardinal friend "becoming so quiet / Zero sound / only breath" as a fitting conclusion to a joyous season.
Muth's luminous watercolor paintings that focus on Koo and his friends make "Hi, Koo! A Year of Seasons" a masterful picture book for the whole family to enjoy.
"WORDS WITH WINGS," by Nikki Grimes, Word Song/Boyds Mills, $15.95 (ages 8-12)
Gabby is a daydreamer. In school, "my new teacher complains / about how much I daydream."
When her parents fight, "The word 'fly' / had set me free."
As Gabby is having trouble in school with only her daydreams for comfort, her teacher devises a plan to use the daydreams as a means to focus and attend instead of "carrying my thoughts away."
Gabby learns that "words have wings / that wake my daydreams."
In the author notes, Nikki Grimes says "Words With Wings" is her own personal story and pays respect to the teacher who taught her the value of "daydream time" as she became a writer.

The dormant season is a good time to check woody plants for scale insect infestations. I have been asked questions about scale insects during the growing season and many times it is too late to control them. This time of year, deciduous plants do not have leaves, so scale are more easily seen. If an infestation is detected, make plans to apply a dormant oil for control by March 1. Be sure temperature is 40 degrees or above before spraying.
Scale insects are easily overlooked because they are small and immobile most of their lives, and they do not resemble most other insects. Many of them resemble small shells that areoval or circular, but some have more unusual shapes like oyster shells. Their coloring varies, but can include white, tan, and brown.
Plants that should be inspected for scales include apples, pears, other fruit trees,
bush fruits, lilac, crabapple, oak, ash, elm, lilac, maple, linden, arborvitae, juniper, pine, spruce and yew. Euonymus is especially noted for having scale problems and that is the one I receive the most calls on. Plants are not usually harmed if only a few scales are present. But scale population can increase dramatically during the growing season. Heavy scale infestations can damage fruit crops, destroy branches and kill entire plants.

50 Cent Rushed To ER?!Sassy Smith
What happened to hip hop artist 50 Cent? The 33-year-old rapper was reportedly rushed to the hospital after he collapsed.
From Long Island Press:
One the same day that his book, The 50th Law, co-written by 48 Laws of Power author Robert Greene, hit #9 on the bestseller list, rapper 50 Cent was reportedly rushed to the hospital.
Initial word of the event was noticed and quickly repeated throughout the social world of Twitter, and while in the past, such alerts have turned out to be false, similar tweets were seen from known friends and associates, such as Tony Yayo (@tonyyayo).
However, a posting on his highly-trafficked website www.thisis50.com explains:
…employees say that 50 Cent was listening to Fat Joe's new album, "J.O.S.E. 2³ when all the sudden, he collapsed. Doctors say after performing a Cat Scan and EKG there seems to be some damage to his auditory cortex, which is the region of the brain that is responsible for processing sound.
The "news" was then followed by a link to download a pirated copy of Bronx rapper Fat Joe's new album, with the toungue-in-cheek warning "DOWNLOAD AT YOUR OWN RISK!". The twitter-fueled marketing ploy is an extension of past "beef" between the two artists.
Say what you will about 50 Cent, but using the proven by-product of Twitter to facilitate false rumors to his advantage is a shrewd move in a time when obtaining online buzz becomes more difficult as more entities master established methods.
Really? I mean, sure, promote the hell out of your hard work, but to promote yourself using false injured and/or death rumors? Not so cool. What if 50's 11-year-old son Marquise Jackson wasn't aware that his dad was doing that and he heard the rumors? Kind of upsetting for the boy!
Must be better ways to get the word out there that your music is good, right?

AbstractDeveloping a multi-fuel capable burner with an electronic controls subsystem for a Stirling engine represents an opportunity to develop a power source capable of running on a variety of military fuels. TIAX has developed a Stirling engine power plant technology, an operational third-generation laboratory prototype. The existing engine prototype has a multi-fuel compatible vaporizing burner with a 1.5-5 kW variable burn. There are technical limitations in atomizing less than 5 kW of heavy fuels (atomizers suffer from orifice clogging) and in vaporizing heavy fuels (fuel vaporization temperatures and coke-formation temperatures overlap). However, the TIAX-developed vaporizing burner achieves a clean, uniform flame with negligible coke formation after hours of use with a variety of fuels. In this project we will further optimize the burner flow field for improved thermal efficiency and heat recuperation. We will also modify our electronic controls subsystem to allow for multi-fuel, switch "on-the-fly" use. This project will improve the TRL of the TIAX Stirling engine. If this project is successfully implemented for military direct power and hybrid power applications, then commercial manufacturers would adopt the same features for applications in recreational vehicles/cabins and emergency vehicles/rescue stations as a compact source for combined heat and power output.

Where is says Allow people to post comments on the article, uncheck.
I often wonder if people actually take 10 minutes to go through all the options on the WP Dashboard. I guess it's easier to ask someone else.
THis is such a simple query but its looks like innocent one...I prefer to go to through the complete document on wordpress first before using it...

Yeah. It's called the Pygmalion effect and it's been well known in Education circles since 1968. Get with the times!
LOL math gene. Most AP study articles are usually a product of superficial, poorly thought out research projects.
Both my parents were HS dropouts and couldn't do math for beans, and I got as far as Calculus with stellar grades and an easy time for the most part.
Is there a gene that determines aptitude for a career as a geneticist? 'Cause that would be cool.
I have an idea that might help based on this current research. What if, for Halloween, women started dressing up in sexy mathematician costumes? Definitely must include the glasses.
I think an AP study, even a lousy one, outranks someone's anecdote.
Just because your parents didn't know math and you excelled at it isn't statistically relevant. Good for you, though. I suck at math.
C+ troll. Hit all the major bullet-points but was far too obvious a troll attempt. Subtlety counts.
"just raising the question about genes has harmful consequences."
Hiney and The-Nimrod have a point with this quote. Our lives will be in more danger because of their research.
I'm wondering how they got that study approved. Do those chicks have to go through life thinking that women suck at math?
Perhaps a study into whether or not females have math learning disabilities more often than men is in order. A LOT of people have dyscalculia and go undiagnosed for years. I was 33 when I learned I had it.
Sadly, dyscalculia studies are rare, poorly funded and misunderstood by the learning community.
People just want simple answers in a complex world.
My daughter suffers from dyspraxia. She can't spell worth diddly, though there are ways to help with the problem, and progress is slowly being made. (In short, you make words visual items to remember instead of text, which apprently are processed by different parts of the brain.) And yet I typically get told about how well she can describe or explain things vocally in class.
She got both, apparently, from my dad, and my two sisters have it in varying degrees. And yet my dad went through college and grad school almost with straight As, save for two Bs, both from the same teacher, both because that teacher wouldn't give As to undergrad students in his graduate-level classes. (What saved my dad was that he didn't go to college until he found something he loved to learn about, was married before he went to college, my mom can type both quickly and well, and she can spell, as can I, pretty effortlessly and well.)
My daughter is also kicking butt in 8th Grade math. And she loves it. (In fact, she's just enough of a math nerd that one of her many internet handles is "littleangle" (deliberately misspelling "angel"), because "it's an a-CUTE angle, Dad." (Cue groans now...)) Girls enjoying math without social reprecussions in Middle School is one, big, frickin' deal, trust me.
So, life and the people within it are just not that simple to figure out. Just marvel, and deal, with what comes. The explanations, assuming you want to really know instead of desiring to madly pigeonhole the answers into the prescribed boxes, will come.

This may be a very basic question, but I am not able to find a clear answer in the Samba documentation here or elsewhere on the net. For various reasons I am attempting to give a Linux machine a different name as a Samba host - i.e. not the name specified in /etc/hostname). Is such a thing possible?
In /etc/samba/smb.conf, it appears possible to specify the workgroup and the description, but not the name of the computer.
