|Formatted Contents Note:
| In which I introduce the ancient mind-body problem, explain why I am on a quest to use reason and empirical inquiry to solve it, acquaint you with Francis Crick, explain how he relates to this quest, make a confession, and end on a sad note -- In which I write about the wellsprings of my inner conflict between religion and reason, why I grew up wanting to be a scientist, why I wear a lapel pin of Professor Calculus, and how I acquired a second mentor late in life -- In which I explain why consciousness challenges the scientific view of the world, how consciousness can be investigated empirically with both feet firmly planted on the ground, why animals share consciousness with humans, and why self-consciousness is not as important as many people think it is -- In which you hear tales of scientist-magicians that make you look but not see, how they track the footprints of consciousness by peering into your skull, why you don't see with your eyes, and why attention and consciousness are not the same -- In which you learn from neurologists and neurosurgeons that some neurons care a great deal about celebrities, that cutting the cerebral cortex in two does not reduce consciousness by half, that color is leached from the world by the loss of a small cortical region, and that the destruction of a sugar cube-sized chunk of brain stem or thalamic tissue leaves you undead -- In which I defend two propositions that my younger self found nonsense: you are unaware of most of the things that go on in your head, and zombie agents control much of your life, even though you confidently believe that you are in charge -- In which I throw caution to the wind, bring up free will, Der Ring des Nibelungen, and what physics says about determinism, explain the impoverished ability of your mind to choose, show that your will lags behind your brain's decision, and that freedom is just another word for feeling -- In which I argue that consciousness is a fundamental property of complex things, rhapsodize about integrated information theory, how it explains many puzzling facts about consciousness and provides a blueprint for building sentient machines -- In which I outline an electromagnetic gadget to measure consciousness, describe efforts to harness the power of genetic engineering to track consciousness in mice, and find myself building cortical observatories -- In which I muse about final matters considered off-limits to polite scientific discourse: to wit, the relationship between science and religion, the existence of God, whether this God can intervene in the universe, the death of my mentor, and my recent tribulations.

Professional rainwater tank installation Adelaide
We offer a complete installation service for rainwater tanks throughout Adelaide, Adelaide Hills and the Barossa valley. Even if you have purchased your tank elsewhere we can help with complete connection of gutters, base preparation, pumps, plumbing and rainwater tank connection. Call us today for a quote.
Base preparation
Getting the base preparation correct for your tank is critical. Water weighs 1 tonne per 1000 litres so the installation of a solid base is important.
We have a range of solutions depending on your individual circumstances including compacted rubble and concrete, we even build combination steel and sleeper retaining walls if your area is on a slope. We'll visit your site and discuss the most suitable and cost effective solution for your rain harvesting system.
Storm water connection & trenching
From a simple overhead gutter connection right through to a complete whole home storm water system we can help.
Design of your storm water system is an important factor in an effective rain harvesting system. Considerations need to be made to ensure your pipe work doesn't trap leaves and debris or hold stagnant water or become a mozzie breeding ground. When we visit your home we'll discuss your requirements and recommend the most suitable system. We even do complete storm water systems for new homes saving you the hassle of having to deal with several contractors.
Plumbing connection
Our plumbing installations are carried out by licensed and insured Master Plumbers with many years experience in the connection of rain harvesting systems.
Whether it's a simple hook up for a new home or a complete complete connection to your whole home and irrigation system we can help. We'll design your system with back flow and switching to ensure easy transition between mains and rain water while complying with all relevant standards and legal requirements.
Electrical connection
Most rain harvesting systems require power to connect a pump and accessories. Taylor Made Tanks have licensed and insured electricians available to install new weatherproof outdoor power points or convert your existing outdoor power outlet from single to double.
We were very satisfied with Taylor Made Rainwater Tanks. They were extremely professional and helpful in not only explaining what was required but also the installation of our new rainwater tank, rebate information and plumbing and fitting of down pipes to connect to the tank for the first stage of the rain harvesting system.
Henry the installer went out of his way to ensure that we were completely satisfied with the work carried out. Recommending Taylor Made Rainwater Tanks to our friend has been easy because of the work that was done. The second stage is due to commence shortly and we look forward to continued excellent service.
When I approached Taylor Made Rainwater Tanks, I was surprised by the service I was given, and the approach by the managing director. Within a few days the managing director "Mr. Chris Taylor" came over to my place and explained everything, so I could understand what was needed. With in a few days the new tank had arrived, and with the removal of the rusty old tank, placed where needed manually.
Installation of the tank by Taylor Made Rainwater Tanks, electrical connections, and plumbing was performed by tradespeople who worked in conjunction with my self and the result was amazing. I would recommend this company to anyone.

GOSHEN — The Big Band Sound will perform at 6 p.m. Aug. 3 in the boardroom of Main Street School in Goshen, sponsored by the Friends of the Goshen Public Library and Historical Society.
What's the Scoop will provide ice cream for all, and the law firm of Norton and Christensen will underwrite the performance by the Big Band Sound orchestra, a 20-piece band from Poughkeepsie that re-creates the music of the big-band era.
Jim Tarvin, Goshen Public Library and Historical Society trustee, said last year's event ran out of chairs but not out of space, so he suggests bringing a folding chair if you can.

On the PC side, new codec upgrades for streaming media players will improve audio quality at lower bit-rates.
On the PC side, new codec upgrades for streaming media players will improve audio quality at lower bit-rates.
Any demarcation point in time makes us think about taking inventory, so what better occasion than a millennial break to evaluate the hot topics in radio? They are listed below, in no particular order, along with some projections on what's likely to happen for each in 2001 and beyond:
S-DARS: Sirius Satellite Radio will inaugurate its service, and XM Satellite Radio will launch its birds. The DBS radio era finally begins.
IBOC: Uncertainty will continue, with some on-air testing likely, but not much other progress.
International DAB: Eureka 147 receivers will finally hit the store shelves, but their high prices will keep most of them there.
LPFM: Splash this one. By this time next year, we'll have trouble remembering what it stood for.
Streaming media: Growth of broadband access will stimulate on-line media providers to begin offering higher bit-rate services. The use of edge-servers for distribution of this content will grow to meet the new demand. Meanwhile, more on-line audio appliances with funny names will debut. Their use of broadband access will make their on-line reception nearly indistinguishable from (if not better than) their off-air performance. On the PC side, new codec upgrades for streaming media players will improve audio quality at lower bit-rates.
Wireless: Auctions for 3G service will open the U.S. broadband wireless age in earnest. By year's end, the first handheld streaming media devices may be appearing on holiday wish-lists.
FCC: The new administration will impose substantial change on the Commission, so Congress doesn't keep having to.
Advertising revenues: Profits from traditional on-air terrestrial radio service may hit their historical peak this year, as advertising opportunities in new media begin to siphon funds at noticeable levels. Growth in the overall advertising market may also suffer as the U.S. economy plateaus.
Consolidation: Activity here has already peaked. A few more station groups may merge, and several more stations may be acquired or traded, but the consolidation feeding frenzy is largely over. There may be some surprise shifts of control/ownership among the largest groups, however, as major media companies adjust their portfolios.
Copyright issues: The recent move by the U.S. Copyright Office to levy performance royalty fees on radio broadcasters' on-line services will kick off a series of legal maneuvers that ultimately causes dramatic change in the traditionally placid world of radio content acquisition and compensation.
LEOsats: Notwithstanding the Iridium debacle, speculative development of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite systems will continue, but now aimed at providing broadband service. This could extend the impact of broadband streaming media to rural areas of the U.S., and to international markets, within the next two to three years—significantly faster than terrestrial broadband might be deployed to these areas.
Music downloads and Software radio: Younger listeners will move away from traditional radio in increasing numbers, drawn by the personalization capabilities of music download sites and customizable streaming audio services.
Automation: PC-based systems in radio will continue to grow in sophistication, as their usage grows in both the content creation and technical distribution sides of the business. It's more of the same good luck/bad luck with this 13th issue: Operations staff will suffer, while computer-savvy tech support will benefit.
Arthur C. Clarke fans in our industry will find mild irony in the fact that geostationary satellites (which Clarke first proposed) will become cosmically significant for radio in the year 2001 (the title and period of Clarke's best known sci-fi work).
That development, along with the others noted here (and, no doubt, a few that aren't), will shape a pivotal year for the radio industry — and for the media world in general. But that's the way any decent new millennium should start, not with a whimper but a bang. Best of luck, and buckle up.

It's much tougher to score when you don't have the football. Lompoc will try and play keep away against Southern California power Chaminade in Friday's CIF Western Division semifinal game in the San Fernando Valley.
The Braves have one of the top rushing attacks around and if they can control the clock, they feel that they will have a shot to knock off the 13th ranked team in the state.
Chaminade has talented playmakers all over the field including two-way star Donovan Lee and Miami-bound quarterback Brad Kaaya.
Lompoc is 11-1 on the year and will be making it's fourth consecutive trip to the semifinals. They won CIF titles in 2010 and 2011.

What Happens if You File Your Taxes Late?
With just a few days left before taxes are due, I thought it would be worth talking about what happens if you miss the deadline and wind up filing late. The short answer is that you run the risk of penalties and interest, and failing to file on time is much worse than failing to pay on time. For more details, read on…
Enforcing the filing deadline
For starters, rumor has it that the IRS doesn't bother checking postmarks for returns that are just a couple days late, so you might be okay. The problem is that there is a lot of variation inherent in the US Postal Service, and they'll also be receiving millions (and millions) of last minute returns. Thus, as long as your return is close to being on time, they might not even notice.
I can't speak for the actual filing deadline, as I've never rolled the dice on that one, but I've certainly found this to be true for quarterly tax deadlines. On more than one occasion in the past, I've mailed our quarterly payments a day or two late and I've never heard back from the IRS about it. It might be that they didn't notice, or perhaps they realized that it was more costly to print and mail a notice than it was to just let it slide.
But if you do file late – and the IRS catches you – the interest and penalties will accrue from the actual due date through the postmark date. So… What if you file (or pay) late, and you get caught?
Penalties for filing and/or paying late
As it turns out, the penalty for "failure to file" is much steeper than the penalty for a late payment. Thus, if you can't afford the amount due, you should still file your return (or request a filing extension) in a timely manner and then explore alternative payment options.
To be a bit more specific, the penalty for late payment is typically 0.5% of your unpaid taxes per month (or portion thereof) after the deadline that your taxes go unpaid. This penalty can wind up being as much as 25% of your total amount due, so don't let it slide any longer than absolutely necessary.
In contrast, the penalty for filing your return late is typically a whopping 5% of your unpaid taxes per month (or portion thereof) after the deadline that they receive your return, topping out at 25%. And if you file more than 60 days late, the minimum penalty is the smaller of $135 or 100% of the taxes that you owe.
Keep in mind that, as long as you request an extension and pay in at least 90% of your actual tax liability by the original due date (including withholding and estimated payments), you'll avoid any underpayment penalties as long as the balance if paid no later than the extended due date.
(More on penalties from IRS.gov: link)
What if you're expecting a refund?
If you're expecting a refund there's actually no need to file on time. As I've detailed above, all penalties and interest are based on your unpaid balance. If you don't owe a dime, the penalties will add up to a whopping zero dollars. Thus, as I've detailed elsewhere, if you're expecting a refund, you may not have to file on time.
Of course, if the IRS owes you money, you should do whatever you can to collect it as quickly as possible. And keep in mind that the IRS statute of limitations runs out after three years so, whatever you do, make sure you claim your refund within that timeframe or you'll forfeit the money that you are due.
P.S. If you need more time to finish your taxes, don't forget to request a state income tax filing extension in addition to your federal extension.

The IRS just cares that you pay them at all – not really if you pay when they say you should pay.
My wife works for herself and we are REQUIRED to file quarterly taxes. However, we have not for the last 10 years. I have extra taxes taken from my wages and I have never heard a peep from the IRS.
We always get a refund so I feel I doing nothing unethical.

"pay in at least 90% of your actual tax liability by the original due date (including withholding and estimated payments)"
This is INCORRECT. Consumerism Commentary made the same error in their similar post. 90% is the amount you must have withheld during the year to avoid an underwithholding penalty. Taxes are due on April 15th (or the next business day) regardless of getting an extension to file!

David M: You are only "required" to pay quarterly taxes if you would otherwise owe more than $1000 on April 15. If you are having extra withholding done, that is just as good. Those quarterly payments are estimates, not tax returns, and that's why the IRS is somewhat loose about the date on which they arrive. If they don't arrive at all, the IRS assumes you have determined that they will be getting enough money some other way.

I just found my tax forms my accountant completed on March 10, 2012 for me. I must have inadvertently put them under some papers and forgot to mail them, until today. I owed nothing, as I am basically semi-retired and expecting a refund. Will this be a problem?… will I be penalized for this? I have never been late before, nor had a zero balance to pay the government, but to receive a small refund. I am totally amazed I forgot to mail them, but will today. Thanks. Sylvia
5Nickel Says:

Sylvia: Penalties for filing late are calculated as a percentage of what you owe, so if you don't owe anything, your penalty should be $0.

New Zealand organic products are clocking up export orders after a successful showing at the world's largest organic trade fair in Germany.
"I have had my eyes opened to the true extent and possibilities of the organics market - it's really huge," says David Mitchell, the Managing Director of DM Palmer, one of the seven New Zealand organisations that have just returned from the event.
This year was the first time DM Palmer (which exports organic apples and squash) had attended the massive organics fair, and David Mitchell says he was blown away by the variety of items there - and the amount of interest in New Zealand's organic products.
"We picked up new customers in Europe and South East Asia - there are people at Biofach from all over the world. It was well worth the effort of going."
Zespri, New Zealand's largest organic producer, has attended Biofach for several years and saw a 'significant upsurge' in interest in organics this year, says Zespri's Technology Transfer Manager Stuart Abbott.
"Biofach has increased at least 20% in size over last year. It's truly massive now," he says.
Mr Abbott believes the collective approach, which sees all organics companies exhibiting overseas come under the New Zealand brand, gives this country's organics producers real strength.
"Respect for the New Zealand brand is more important in organics than in other areas. We are seen as clean, non-corrupt and trustworthy, and that gives us a lot of weight. Producers need to think very carefully before they move away from that. "
Jill Bradley, Managing Director of Ocean Organics, which manufactures organics fertilizers and liquid sprays, agrees that New Zealand has a very good name in the organics world.
"Our products are highly sought after. It is the second year we have attended Biofach, and we are delighted with the response we got. We are working through a ton of enquiries, some of which will lead to orders. As a result of contacts made at Biofach we also currently have trials going on at the French Organic Research Institute, and our products are being trailed by key organics farmers in Europe."
This year was the first time that New Zealand's dairy giant Fonterra joined the New Zealand stand, and Trade New Zealand's Sector Specialist in Horticulture and Organics, Peter Healy, sees its presence at Biofach as lending enormous weight and credibility to New Zealand's organics movement.
"When a large multi-national takes organics seriously, you know that this is big business", he says. "Fonterra expects a significant proportion of its dairy exports to be organic in the future."
"We left with a number of serious follow up companies who wish to pursue business with us," says Rick Carmont of Fonterra. "There is no doubt that our presence at Biofach was beneficial."
The organics sector currently accounts for $60 million of New Zealand exports, though that can be hard to quantify because some exporters, such as leading wine companies, do not specify which of their products are organic.
Peter Healy hopes local companies take notice of the demand overseas, which is happening in parallel to high local demand.
"There is a danger that some producers may take the easier route of just selling to the local market rather than exporting", he says. "For some, it is easier to sell at the farm gate than it is to face the complexities of exporting. But the export market is where the real opportunities lie."
New Zealand companies exhibiting at Biofach 2003 were:
Organic Product Exporters of New Zealand (OPENZ)
The organisation representing organic producers, which has more than 60 members.
Bio-Gro NZ
The country's leading organic certifier and organic producers' association.
DM Palmer (Auckland)

Researchers Wrestle with When to Make...
The Poisons and Venoms of Organisms...
Treatment of B-Cell Lymphomas with Monoclonal...
From the Quagmire to Savior and...
A majority of respondents to a Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News (GEN) poll believe the FDA does not always act as a positive force. The GEN poll asked: "Do FDA regulations do as much harm as good?" The results: 48.7% replied yes, 38.7 % said no, and 12.6% were undecided.
Looking at the results, James R. Prudent, Ph.D., president and CEO of Madison, WI-based Centrose, noted that although the FDA regulatory and approval process is complicated, the agency can in some cases cause harm. "It costs $20 million dollars to get an oncology product into Phase I clinical trials," said Dr. Prudent, whose company is developing novel therapies for cancer. "We are trying to treat people with very serious diseases. The FDA should relax some of its regulations regarding new cancer drugs, particularly those for terminally ill people."
Safi Bahcall, Ph.D., president and CEO of Synta Pharmaceuticals, based in Lexington, MA, struck a more conciliatory note.
"From our experience with the FDA, I believe there are people at the agency who should be national treasures. They ignore the incoming artillery fire of easy sound-bite criticism from every direction and stay focused on the data, making difficult decisions of assessing risk vs. benefit in highly charged situations with often very hard to appreciate subtleties," he told GEN. "The FDA has recognized that like any large organization there are both structural and organizational improvements they can make to continue to improve. I am hopeful they will continue those changes, including progressive initiatives such as Critical Path, Biomarker Consortium, and the Predictive Safety Testing Consortium that can allow all of us in the public and private sectors together to improve our ability to deliver innovative new medicines that save lives."
John Sterling, Editor-in-Chief of GEN, echoed the opinion that the negative poll respondents are mostly reacting to the perception that the FDA is not moving fast enough to approve new therapeutics. "I don't think the criticism is directed at the FDA per se," he said. "But I do believe many of our poll respondents are convinced that the agency can do much, much more to get life-saving drugs to patients who are truly in need."
"The FDA is underfunded and understaffed", said GEN publisher, Mary Ann Liebert. "It has a very broad mandate. This is a long standing issue, and Congress needs to address it to ensure timely evaluations and approvals that will affect health care."

Here is an answer to a few of the questions that have arisen lately:
Q: full list of supported chips:
(Note that the list is dated August 2007, so hopefully they will add
some more this August. Consequently, if we reach the 30 orders, we
should wait until the the start of September and a possible new list to
send the order)
Q: Is it possible to produce a driver that is ACPI/APIC compliant ?
A: No. Nobody will pay for such development. 30 licenses is our cost for
re-release, QA and archive new driver only. Adding of features will
create more costs.
Q: Any possibility of an agreement between SSI and TSSC/APSoft to
decrease the price of the driver for eComStation users ?
A: We cannot reduce price on our side. Very few people are paying for
license. It's not worst for us to maintain such driver.
It will be more logical if Serenity buy OEM license, however they never
asked us for it.
Q: Any tips to the OS/2 community as to how to get USB through PCMCIA
It's not possible because there is no standard for such devices (like it
is for PCMCIA). Therefore it's not possible to write driver that
supports multiple devices. We have the same problem under Windows.
I hope this answers your questions too.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- A woman is accused of leaving her child in an Augusta parking lot on Wednesday night.
A customer said he was walking through the Bi-Lo parking lot when he saw a 2-year-old girl asleep in the backseat of a car with any adults nearby.
A deputy came to the store and got an employee to page the driver of the car.
Ashley Nicole Cruz later returned to the car and was charged with contributing to the deprivation of a minor.
The Division of Family and Children Services came to the scene and took the child into custody, later releasing the girl to her father.
The child was not injured in the incident.

Gospel of Luke
Gospel of Luke Chapter 18:1-17 Summary
Prayer For Dummies—Again
- Do we even need to say it? Time for another story. This time showing the disciples how to pray.
- Okay, so there's this judge in a certain city who has no respect for God or mortals. In the same city there's also a widow who keeps going to the judge.
- She's demanding that he grant her justice, but he refuses. After a while, though, the judge reasons that he should decide in her favor. It's not that he really cares about justice, it's just that this lady keeps bugging him.
- If this stupid judge will grant justice to a pesky lady, it's pretty certain that God will do at least that much. (Sound like 11:13 much?)
- The lesson? Prayer is sort of like annoying God into giving people their due. We've heard this before (11:5-8).
- Now Jesus rolls out another story tailored especially for snobs who think they're something special and treat others as though they're trash.
- Two guys are praying in the temple. One's a Pharisee, and the other's a tax collector.
- The Pharisee prays this priggish prayer that goes something like this: "Dear God, I sure am glad I'm not like other people. They're a bunch of stupid losers. They're all greedy, unjust, and hungry for sex with married women. You know, like this tax collector over here. While he's busy sinning, I'm fasting twice per week and giving ten percent of everything I own away."
- Meanwhile, the tax collector's standing far away and won't even lift his eyes to heaven. He's mournfully beating his chest, begging God for mercy and admitting that he's sinful.
- Jesus concludes that the tax collector's the moral one. We bet you saw that one coming.
- After all, "all who exalt themselves will be humbled, but all who humble themselves will be exalted" (18:14).
- Jesus also gives a shout out to babies. That's right: God's kingdom belongs to these little cuties.

Community Notes. August 26, 2006.
CNIB is conducting a study that focuses on the positive employment-related experiences of people living with vision loss.
There is lots of information about the barriers, and very little on how people living with vision loss achieve success. This study is designed to learn more about the factors that help people living with vision loss find success in their job search.
We are looking for people who are willing to complete a short survey (online or telephone) in which they reflect on the role that various factors have played in their finding work that satisfies them.
Eligibility Criteria
Must be a Canadian citizen living with vision loss
Must have looked for work over the past two years (it does not matter if you were employed while looking for work or whether or not you are currently employed)
Proficient in English
If you meet these criteria and are interested, please contact:
CNIB Research
Toll-free: 1-866-577-7727
Email: email@example.com
Help to Spread the Word
If you know others who meet the eligibility criteria for this study and who might be willing to participate, please pass this information onto them. Your assistance with this study can make a difference in the lives of people living with vision loss.
Please note: This project is funded by Social Development Canada and approved by the Research Ethics Board of the University of Toronto.

Dear Abby: What's become of maternity wear?
Dear Abby: I am wondering why pregnant women these days don't wear smocks like we all wore years ago. While I do think pregnant women are attractive, I really don't want to see their swollen bellies. Wouldn't it be better to just "imagine" what is under that smock or long skirt? Does anyone agree with me?

Talk about adding insult to injury.
This bus ad seems to have appeared in Boston recently (whether or not it stuck around after the team's epic collapse we don't know), and has since been going incredibly viral across the internet. Though we can't prove that the ad, which more than implies that the Red Sox would be in the playoffs, is real, it did appear on Reddit on Friday, however.
It seems TBS jumped the gun a little bit. But could you blame them? On September 1, the Sox still held a slim edge over the Yankees for the division lead, and no one could have foreseen the epic collapse that left them a game out in the Wild Card standings.
Yet still, it could have been worse. At least the ad doesn't feature Terry Francona as well.

Bruce Jenkins is President of Ora Research, an engineering research and advisory service. Maplesoft commissioned him to examine how systems-driven engineering practices are being integrated into the early stages of product development, the results of which are available in a free whitepaper entitled System-Level Physical Modeling and Simulation. In the coming weeks, Mr. Jenkins will discuss the results of his research in a series of blog posts. This is the first entry in the series.
Discussions of how to bring simulation to bear starting in the early stages of product development have become commonplace today. Driving these discussions, I believe, is growing recognition that engineering design in general, and conceptual and preliminary engineering in particular, face unprecedented pressures to move beyond the intuition-based, guess-and-correct methods that have long dominated product development practices in discrete manufacturing. To continue meeting their enterprises' strategic business imperatives, engineering organizations must move more deeply into applying all the capabilities for systematic, rational, rapid design development, exploration and optimization available from today's simulation software technologies.
Unfortunately, discussions of how to simulate early still fixate all too often on 3D CAE methods such as finite element analysis and computational fluid dynamics. This reveals a widespread dearth of awareness and understanding—compounded by some fear, intimidation and avoidance—of system-level physical modeling and simulation software. This technology empowers engineers and engineering teams to begin studying, exploring and optimizing designs in the beginning stages of projects—when product geometry is seldom available for 3D CAE, but when informed engineering decision-making can have its strongest impact and leverage on product development outcomes. Then, properly applied, systems modeling tools can help engineering teams maintain visibility and control at the subsystems, systems and whole-product levels as the design evolves through development, integration, optimization and validation.
As part of my ongoing research and reporting intended to help remedy the low awareness and substantial under-utilization of system-level physical modeling software in too many manufacturing industries today, earlier this year I produced a white paper, "System-Level Physical Modeling and Simulation: Strategies for Accelerating the Move to Simulation-Led, Systems-Driven Engineering in Off-Highway Equipment and Mining Machinery." The project that resulted in this white paper originated during a technology briefing I received in late 2015 from Maplesoft. The company had noticed my commentary in industry and trade publications expressing the views set out above, and approached me to explore what they saw as shared perspectives.
From these discussions, I proposed that Maplesoft commission me to further investigate these issues through primary research among expert practitioners and engineering management, with emphasis on the off-highway equipment and mining machinery industries. In this research, focused not on software-brand-specific factors but instead on industry-wide issues, I interviewed users of a broad range of systems modeling software products including Dassault Systèmes' Dymola, Maplesoft's MapleSim, The MathWorks' Simulink, Siemens PLM's LMS Imagine.Lab Amesim, and the Modelica tools and libraries from various providers. Interviewees were drawn from manufacturers of off-highway equipment and mining machinery as well as some makers of materials handling machinery.
At the outset, I worked with Maplesoft to define the project methodology. My firm, Ora Research, then executed the interviews, analyzed the findings and developed the white paper independently of input from Maplesoft. That said, I believe the findings of this project strongly support and validate Maplesoft's vision and strategy for what it calls model-driven innovation. You can download the white paper here.
Bruce Jenkins, Ora Researchoraresearch.com
just reading this story... a large quantity of information does not add up for me, like he denies it is his work and was done by hamilton? also its blasted across the net that he his proof is valid, so he cant say he doesnt want fame because its been all over the internet, and the sheer lack of logic of refusing money based on a moral code of conduct? then give it to charity, pay for a dozen scholarships but what the money is dirty?
pretty sure this whole thing is a pile of crap made up by someone.

A Quote by unknown on action, admiration, anger, competence, cowardice, curiosity, fatherhood, heart, improvement, life, love, mountains, people, reflection, relationships, sons, surprises, understanding, and world
Echo A son and his father were walking on the mountains. Suddenly, his son falls, hurts himself and screams: AAAhhhhhhhhhhh!!!" To his surprise, the son hears the voice repeating, somewhere in the mountain: "AAAhhhhhhhhhhh!!!" Curious, he yells: "Who are you?" He receives the answer: "Who are you?" Angered at the response, he screams: "Coward!" He receives the answer: "Coward!" He looks to his father and asks: "What's going on?" The father smiles and says: "My son, pay attention." And then he screams to the mountain: "I admire you!" The voice answers: "I admire you!" Again the man screams: "You are a champion!" The voice answers: "You are a champion!" The boy is surprised, but does not understand. Then the father explains: "People call this ECHO, but really this is LIFE. It gives you back everything you say or do. Our life is simply a reflection of our actions. If you want more love in the world, create more love in your heart. If you want more competence in your team, improve your competence. This relationship applies to everything, in all aspects of life; Life will give you back everything you have given to it." YOUR LIFE IS NOT A COINCIDENCE. IT'S A REFLECTION OF YOU!

Examples of trolling lures for striped bass fishing are shown below.
Good examples of deep diving trolling plugs are the Mann's Stretch series.
The Stretch 25 is 8 inches long, weighs 2 ounces and will dive to 25+ feet.
The Stretch 30 is 11 inches long, weighs 6 ounces and will dive to 30+ feet. These large profile lures make great imitations of large baitfish like herring or bunker.
Another deep diving trolling lure is the Bomber. To see the Bomber, and more about Stretch lures, follow this link: Deep Divers.
A good example of a Umbrella Rig is the Chesapeake Bay Lures Red Eye.
It comes partially rigged with shad bodies. Add more shad bodies.
The Umbrella Rig emulates a small school of baitfish.

Radon, the Cancer-Causing Gas
Radon is a cancer-causing radioactive gas. You can't see, smell, or taste radon. But it may be a problem in your home. Studies performed at the University of Iowa have helped show that radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer and the leading environmental cause of cancer deaths in the United States. And Iowans are most at risk.
- Where does radon come from?
Radon gas is a radioactive gas that comes from the breakdown of naturally occurring radium-226 found in soils and rocks that surround the foundations of our homes and offices. Iowa has the highest average indoor radon concentration in the nation due to our glacial history. As the glaciers came over Iowa, they deposited finely ground rocks that contain radium. Because the rocks that make up our soils are so finely ground, they have a large surface area to emit radon gas. Since the highest average radon concentrations are found in Iowa, Iowans are at even greater risk of radon-induced lung cancer compared to most Americans. In fact, about 400 Iowans die each year from radon exposure.
- How does radon get into our homes?
Radon gas can enter even through small cracks in the foundation or openings in the foundation of homes like sump pumps or spaces around pipes. For some individuals with wells, radon in the well water can enter the home and become airborne during showering or dishwashing. The amount of radon from groundwater is generally small compared to the amount of radon that comes from the soil.
- Who should test their home for radon?
Everyone should test their homes for radon, especially in Iowa where we have the highest average radon concentrations in the nation. And you can't really predict the levels in your home based on your neighbor's levels. Even if two homes on a street have low radon concentrations, the home between them may exhibit high concentrations. The only way to know is to test.
- How can I test my home for radon?
Radon test kits can be purchased from a variety of local stores, including hardware stores or large discount stores. They can also be purchased at a discount from the Iowa Cancer Consortium.
One type of detector is known as a short-term test; it's usually placed for a few days to a week. Or, longer-term testing can be done for three months to a year. In the United States, more short-term tests are purchased since they provide a rapid indication of whether a home has the potential for elevated radon levels. Radon testing can also be performed by certified professionals. Regardless of who performs the testing, it should be done following EPA recommendations.
- If we find high levels of radon in our home, what can we do?
If the test results indicate radon levels at or above 4 pCi/L (picocuries per liter), the EPA recommends doing a second test to confirm the initial findings. If the average of the two short-term radon tests is 4 pCi/L or greater, homeowners can take steps to reduce the radon concentration. The EPA notes that since there is no safe level of radon gas exposure, reducing radon to below 2 pCi/L also helps reduce the number of radon-related lung cancers.
- Can householders or owners of businesses take steps to reduce the radon concentrations themselves?
Usually it takes the assistance of a radon mitigation specialist to significantly reduce the radon concentrations long-term. Radon can be removed from homes or offices by installing a radon mitigation system, which vents the radon before it enters the building. Elevated radon levels in most homes and offices can be reduced to below 2 pCi/L by a radon mitigation system. The cost of a radon mitigation system runs around $1,200 to $1,500. Fortunately, these costs can be covered under a health care spending account if a homeowner has such a plan through their workplace. A list of certified radon testers and mitigators can be obtained from the Iowa Department of Public Health by calling their toll-free number at 800-383-5992.

When your main character does most of her talking to someone who's in a vegetative state, and much of the action takes place in one drab room, it's difficult to be textured and lyrical and sensual.
But the skillfully crafted Patience Stone manages to be all of those things, as it tells the story of a war-weary, abandoned woman struggling to care for her wounded husband while trapped in their rubble of an apartment.
Anchoring the film is an outstanding performance from Iranian actress Golshifteh Farahani, who plays the timid, nameless woman who comes to believe that her jihadist spouse — rendered silent by a bullet in the neck — is a "patience stone" that can absorb all the misery confided in it.
And confide she does. The woman gradually becomes more daring in front of her husband, revealing her hidden desires and her deep frustrations about their emotionally empty relationship — blunt pronouncements that could get her killed if the patient emerges from his comatose condition.
Afghan-born director Atiq Rahimi, who wrote the novel on which the film is based, never allows the proceedings to get claustrophobic. And with the help of gritty Morocco locations and nifty guerrilla camerawork in Kabul, we always feel like we are part of the woman's war-torn world.
Despite a few unnecessary flourishes in the final act, Rahimi also avoids being didactic: Without any judgments, we feel the burden that a patriarchal society places on this devout woman. Yet ultimately, we also celebrate her courage and strength. From beginning to end, it's a very human story.
B Directed by Atiq Rahimi. R (sexual content, some violence and language). 102 mins. In Farsi with English subtitles. At the Angelika Dallas.

Taking Solaris mobile with 3G/GPRS/EDGE/HSDPA
By bond on Jan 04, 2008
So I feel a little dirty.. this is technical and work related. Up to now I've only used my blog for the pointless musings of a broken mind.
But here we are....
The story is that due to a bit of a crunch over the Christmas period this year I couldn't get any vacation. The problem with this was that I needed to spend the time with my aging Mum who would otherwise have been on her own. So I needed to work from a location where there would be no broadband.
I had a look at a couple of possibilites and in the end I ended up (in desperation) looking to see if we had any USB modem support in Solaris yet..... Bingo,
So I borrowed a Nokia e61i hooked it up and found two new devices under /dev/cua/[0-1]. I tip to one of those and type "AT" <return> I was surprised when I got an "OK" response. I never did look up what the other one was for because after checking out how to set the APN for my Vodafone connection
(AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","internet") next a tiny (hours and hours) bit of fiddling with pppd (haven't touched that in years!) and hey presto I got a 3g connection. I VPN'd into Sun across my new sppp0 interface and it was fast and stable all week!
The good part of the story ends there because, despite the fantastic hot spot of 3g coverage centred around my Mum's house when I tried to use it I found the network unusable from there despite being able to get a connection reliably. Still I eventually managed to disable 3g and get the e61i to run in GPRS only mode (network->settings: disable UMTS, enable GSM only) It was a bit slow but it got the job done. 3g is great, much faster a totally usable. But that's the limit of my equipment, if anyone want's to send me an HSDPA capable handset then get in touch!
So if you want to try then here are the ppp config files I used:
ABORT BUSY ABORT 'NO CARRIER' '' ATZ OK AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","internet" OK ATDT\*99\*\*\*1# CONNECT
asyncmap 0xa0000
connect "/usr/bin/chat -f /etc/ppp/3g-chat" # dial into ISP
user web
remotename 3g # name of the ISP; for pap-secrets
#noauth # do not authenticate the ISP's identity (client)
noipdefault # assume no IP address; get it from ISP
defaultroute # install default route; ISP is Internet gateway
updetach # log errors and CONNECT string to invoker
noccp # ISP doesn't support free compression
To make it go I issued "pppd call 3g".web 3g web
If you want name resolution then you can hack up a script to stuff the returned DNS server addresses into /etc/resolv.conf yourself, personally as my VPN solution has IP address based configuration, I didn't bother. So just to reiterate if you want to send me a super fast data handset.... I may post some comparative test results!

Lap Swim
Posted by Brad Hefta-Gaub under: Swim.
Well, today I confirmed what I had suspected before. The Garmin 910xt although pretty good at detecting lap swimming distances can get confused and count phantom lengths that never happened. I made a point of counting my laps, and I swam 2,000 yards. But the Garmin thinks I swam 2,150. 6 lengths of the pool that never happened. I'm not sure if it's just my form… that maybe I'm such a sloppy swimmer that it thinks I'm turning when I'm not… but I know this means I need to do a better job of tracking my pool distances if I want them to be accurate.
