Hello all,
to perform the power on self-test on my Blade 1000, I entered at the
system prompt
setenv diag-switch? true
setenv diag-level = max
and rebooted the system.
The fans started, the LED in the cdrom flashed, but after that nothing
happened anymore.
My monitor did not get any signal and even the LEDs on the USB
keyboard didn't flash.
The "Sun Blade 1000/2000 Service Manual".says that it might take some
time to perform the POST but even after more than 1h nothing has
The manual also says that I should have set up an TIP connection which
I surely would have done if I had read the manual before :(
Has anybody an idea what I can do to use the system again?
Powering off an on, pressing Stop and Stop-N, deconnecting monitor and
keyboard and trying to connect via serial interface - nothing gave me
the system prompt.

FILE - In this photo taken Wednesday Feb. 20 2013 two Tuesday newspaper headlines carrying the news of Olympian Athlete Oscar Pistorius' applications for six firearms are photographed in Johannesburg. Pistorius applied for licenses for six guns a few weeks before he shot and killed his girlfriend and Pistorius says the shooting of Reeva Steenkamp was accidental. Prosecutors have charged him with premeditated murder. Afrikaans newspaper headline left, reads "Police refuse Oscar weapon, gets 9mm license after appeal". Even if Pistorius is acquitted of murder, firearms and legal experts in South Africa believe that, by his own account, the star violated basic gun-handling regulations by shooting into a closed door without knowing who was behind it, exposing himself to the lesser but still serious charge of culpable homicide.

For many reasons, France means a lot to you. What's your special relation with our country?
Well my wife is French, so this is pretty interesting. I've been coming here since my first exhibition in Paris in '81 and I get excited every time I get a chance to go back and I was here only 5 weeks ago for the Agnès B. show (see here), so here I am.
Agnès B. played a crucial role in your comeback in the nineties when she bought a few paintings from you, allowing you to get a new studio in New York. Can you explain us how everything happened and what's your relation with her today?
Well, I mean Agnès has always been very supportive of street art, this whole movement and I was very fortunate to meet her in the late 80's. Yes, she did help me very much by investing in my work and as a result I was able to continue painting. At that period I wasn't really focusing on art so much and she did help to kind of get me going and then helped me with the studio, gave me a condition in Paris. I saw her when I was here for the show a few weeks ago and yeah, the relationship is amazing. She's such a beautiful person and I'm grateful of her support. If there were not Agnès, a lot of what's happening in Paris for our movement wouldn't be possible. And it's from her heart, it's genuine love and this is rare you know… it's very rare.
You presented brand new works last year at your Strategic Synchronicity Exhibition in LA (see here) and it was a huge success. Is that something that surprised you back then and do you plans to do more big solo shows in different cities?
Well I mean I was surprised! We had this work, we created all this work for this show, like kind of a pop-up show, it was very well received. With that group Krunk who was working on that project, we also did a little something in Dubai (see here) which you mentioned, kind of a Part. II of my working with them. Recently there has been some difficulties with that group, for whatever reason, it's totally cruel. I did this thing in Germany (see here), which was kind of a small version of that pop-up show, but they were friends of mine in Berlin, they had that space and it was pretty easy. In December, I'm going to do something in Stockholm, similar to Germany expect everything will be new. Berlin was more the continuation of paintings from L.A., paintings from Dubai, new works… Now what we're going to do is just move forward, do some new paintings, new drawings. Similar in that it will be an outside of the gallery sort of space event. I will also for the first time properly exhibit some of my photographs, which I've been wanting to do. I'm going to create some light boxes to display the photos, to kind of make them a little more aggressive. That's exciting! But as far as future shows, I mean not really, not on a bigger scale, I like that pop-up idea. It's pretty good because you can make the work for the show more or less and that's what I want to do. I don't want to continue the show with the works or whatever…
You've said in many occasions that you used to feel manipulated and exploited by the gallery scene in the 80's. How did the situation change today?
Well, as far as the economics go, it's still the same principles: 50/50…ok. The problem was that at that time I thought… you know… "I'm manipulated"… whatever, I didn't completely agree with that thing at that time, what can I do? Today I'm a bit in a position where for example, if someone's going to produce that show, the economics can be discussed, it's not like written in stone. So probably they'd say: "For your involvement, you will get 40%". If I can change the dynamics, because now I'm sort of doing an art show, but I'm not in the Art World, so it means I can change the rules a little bit. It becomes less about the space and more about the works. So, yeah I mean, this is not a formula for the future, it's not something like "Yeah I'm going to eliminate the Gallery", no, not at all, it's just a situation of timing and of what was happening. This is my feeling 25 years ago. Today if I have a real gallery, someone who wanted to represent me in some way, perhaps I would consider that, but we'll see, I mean… the future is… weird.
You started writing your name as a graffiti writer out of a strong desire to communicate. What's driving you 40 years later?
I still want to communicate, I really do, yeah! It's just that today it's not happening that way. Today it's happening online. What I'm trying to do with my Flickr, my own site, which is just, you know, nothing special, is share my personal experience, which I think is just as interesting as my work, maybe more actually. I mean today it's easier to communicate that we once did with a marker and spray paint; it's not limited to writing on the wall. Everyone's doing it in a different way. Some people communicate through their sense of fashion, some people are writing, some people take photos. I'm trying to make a creative medium. For the moment, I find myself really into this whole photographic period.

MUMBAI: Fertiliser majors are counting on the time-tested properties of neem to entice farmers. Fertiliser companies, including Tata Chemicals and Indo Gulf Fertilisers, are undertaking trial runs to commercialise technology to produce neem-coated urea.
Some companies have already started demonstrating the product to farmers in the villages of Punjab and Haryana. Neem-coated urea is being marketed as something that can sustain nitrogen in the soil for a very long time, leading to better yield for farmers.

Offal is cheap, readily available, hugely versatile and, most importantly, delicious! Liver is my absolute favourite and especially chicken or any sort of poultry/game bird, calf or beef, but hell, I'll take it all. Kidneys need handling carefully but can elevate the eater into foodie heaven. Heart; fantastic when braised or very quickly pan fried. Sweetbreads; meaty, soft, succulent little clouds of dreams. Other, less common, forms of offal are great too in context; eat lambs intestine in traditional Italian trattorie, sometimes served in richly herbed pasta, indistinguishable from the penne surrounding it, eat head cheese whenever you can, a kind of meaty terrine made from the brain of a calf or a pig. I personally dislike tripe, the stomach lining of a cow or sheep; I've given it several chances, served in several different manners and it has consistently defeated me. But maybe you'll like it. Avoid placenta. Please, we're not animals.
The recipe that follows is for one of my favourite ways of serving offal. It is entirely user friendly - suitable for an offal first timer, perhaps already acclimatised to retro chicken liver pate. Chicken livers, simply sauteed with garlic, rosemary and butter. Soft and rare on the inside, melting on your tongue, browned and flavoured on the outside. Salt, iron, garlic, butter. MM MMM. Served on soft slices of garlic butter brioche fried in the fat the chicken livers were prepared in. Enjoy.
Ingredients (Serves 4):
1 lb chicken livers (free range), trimmed of fat and sinew and patted dry
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 rosemary spear
3 tablespoons butter, unsalted
glug vegetable oil
salt and pepper
For the brioche:
loaf of good quality brioche, cut into 1 inch thick slabs
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
salt and pepper.
1. Heat a saute pan with 2 tablespoons of the butter and oil in it over medium-high heat.
2. Add the garlic and rosemary and saute until the garlic is soft and just starting to brown.
3. Increase the heat to high, add the chicken livers. Season with salt and pepper, generously. Saute for around 4-5 minutes until the chicken livers are brown on the outside but are still very pink and juicy on the inside. Remove from the heat and the pan and rest, covered.
4. Mix the garlic and the butter into a paste. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Smear the brioche with the garlic butter mix.
6. Return the empty pan to the heat. Add the remaining (1 tbsp) butter and a small splash of oil and heat.
7. Place the slices of brioche in the pan. Brown for 2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and toasted. Remove from the heat and pat the surface oil off with a paper towel.
8. Serve the rested chicken livers on top of the brioche, spooning all the juices from the livers on top.

I shop at Wal-Mart.
A lot.
When you live in the country without stop lights and rush hour and drive-through diet cokes….Wal-Mart is considered to be one of the finest retail establishments around.
You can buy pink ball trim for your new curtains to go with your cornice boards and spray paint and material and yarn to make pom-poms and a spare tire for your car….
….all in one place.
But I never realized how attached I had become to Wal-Mart…..until the other day when I called my friend Laura.
I was talking a mile a minute.
I told her about the cutest earrings I just bought and how I was almost finished with the gatehouse and how white leather chairs look amazing next to an old wood table and why in the world did Kim Kardashian dye her hair blonde…..
…..and that I needed to go to Wal-Mart.Continue reading

Bruce Springsteen Bares His Soul at Harlem's Apollo Theater
Last night at the Apollo Theater, Bruce Springsteen, along with his expanded E Street Band, prepped for a U.S. and European tour with a performance that reminded the audience that his four-decade career is built in part on a passion for African-American music – raucous Memphis R&B in his formative years and an exploration of gospel on his new album "Wrecking Ball."
During the two-hour-plus set for a VIP audience that included Elvis Costello, Steve Earle, Bette Midler and Dave Stewart, among others, Springsteen repeatedly cited his love for vintage soul music, doing so even before the first note was played by quoting Fats Gonder's breathless introduction of James Brown 50 years ago in the same venue, with Springsteen replacing the names of Brown's hits with his own. (You can hear Gonder's original intro on "Live at the Apollo" by James Brown & the Famous Flames.) When the show ended, he mimicked Brown's traditional exit, but instead of a valet placing a flowing velvet robe on his shoulders a la Brown, he cajoled guitarist Steve Van Zandt to drape him in a black towel.
In between, Springsteen, backed by five horns and three vocalists in addition to his customary group, performed Smokey Robinson's composition "The Way You Do the Things You Do," Eddie Floyd and Steve Cropper's "684-5789" and the Isaac Hayes-David Porter tune "Hold On, I'm Comin'." Referring to the Apollo as "the temple of soul," he said, "All the men and woman who worked this stage were our teachers and our masters." The concert was held in celebration of Sirius XM radio's 10th anniversary.
In addition to the covers, Springsteen dusted off some of his soul-influenced compositions from early in his career including "The E Street Shuffle" and "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out," showcases for saxophonist Clarence Clemons, who died last June. In the latter, Clemons' nephew Jake, now playing tenor sax in the touring band, took the song's iconic two-bar solo. When Springsteen came to the line that cites the late Clemons by his nickname – "When the change was made uptown and the Big Man joined the band" – the group stopped and the audience roared, prompted by Springsteen.
The set leaned heavily on the new album. A Curtis Mayfield-like "My City of Ruins," from the '02 album, "The Rising," was a high point with Charlie Giordano adding a whistling underpinning on the Hammond organ. (Later, Springsteen and the group sang a snippet of Mayfield's "People Get Ready.") Patti Scialfa, perhaps best known as Springsteen's wife of more than 20 years, provided an affecting vocal harmony on the folk ballad "Mansion on the Hill" as well as adding new color to "Thunder Road" by joining in on the verses.
Now 62, Springsteen is no longer than jack rabbit he was early in his career: He huffs and puffs on occasion and favors a little Popeye jig, but he doesn't stint on showmanship. On this night, he led the horn section up the aisle, tried a bit of bodysurfing and climbed into the audience by walking on the seats' arms. With a mischievous glint in his eye, he studied the overhanging mezzanine; finally, the temptation proved too much: He climbed up and continued singing "864-5789" from on high. Scialfa had a look in her eye too, one familiar to foolish yet adorable husbands who flirt with danger. Meanwhile, the rest of the band stared up in amusement. It was a darling, bravura moment that might've even impressed a consummate stage maven like James Brown.
Next Thursday, Springsteen and the group will play a club date in Austin, Texas. The U.S. and European tour begins March 18 in Atlanta. For dates and ticket information, go here.

DSEAR Area Classification
The Dangerous Substances and Explosives Atmospheres Regulations 2002 (DSEAR) provide for the first time a specific legal requirement to carry out a hazardous area study and document the conclusions, in the form of zones. The zones categorise the risk of a potentially explosive atmosphere occuring.
Area classification is a process which utilises the more appropriate techniques and provides comprehensive information to our customers of the type and extents of zones that exist within their plant and facilities. This allows our customers to ensure that the correct standard of equipment (with the necessary levels of protection) is installed in the designated zones.
Area classification can be provided for new or existing facilities in accordance with BS EN 60079-10, BS EN 50241-10 and appropriate industry specific codes e.g. Institute of Petroleum IP15, Institute of Gas Engineers IGE SR25 Code etc.
The transitional period ended in July 2006. Existing facilities must have complied by this date.

Ocean Spray Opens New Pa. Beverage Facility
Ocean Spray Cranberries, Inc. celebrated the grand opening of its newest beverage facility in the Upper Macungie Township of Pennsylvania. The plant is Ocean Spray's first in Pennsylvania and once fully operational later this year, it will handle about 40 percent of the cooperative's North American volume. The co-op notes that the building of the facility has already served as a catalyst for hundreds of jobs in the Lehigh Valley during construction and Ocean Spray has created 180 permanent jobs at the new facility.
"The grower-owners of Ocean Spray Cranberries have made a major investment here in Pennsylvania and today's celebration is the result of a lot of hard work by our employees and partners on this project," said Randy Papadellis, president and CEO of Ocean Spray. "As a cooperative founded on the work ethic and values of its many Grower-Owners, Ocean Spray is committed to bringing a neighborly culture everywhere we do business. We are pleased to be joining the Lehigh Valley community and we look forward to being a part of the Pennsylvania economy for many decades to come."
During Tuesday's grand opening ceremony, Papadellis was joined by the cooperative's board of directors and senior management as well as Ocean Spray's well-known characters from the TV commercials.
Ocean Spray broke ground on the 44 acre site in April 2012. More than 1,000 men and woman have put in close to 350,000 man hours to build the nearly 300,000 square-foot plant that will produce more than 30 million cases of iconic Ocean Spray juice beverages each year. These beverages range from 100 percent cranberry juice to blends made with blueberry, grapefruit, pomegranate and other juices, all packaged in different-size bottles and boxes. Ocean Spray will also recycle all waste from the facility – sending zero waste to landfill.
The Lehigh Valley Beverage Facility, as it's officially called, is also a leader in innovation and the first beverage facility in North America to be powered by hot water – a major energy savings.
"This state-of-the-art facility truly does represent Ocean Spray's commitment to the future," said Erich Fritz, Vice President of Engineering and New Technologies for Ocean Spray, who has overseen the design and construction of the new beverage facility. "The Lehigh Valley facility is truly innovative with technology and systems designed to provide efficiency and major energy savings now and in the future."
Ocean Spray bottled its first Cranberry Juice Cocktail in the Lehigh Valley on January 29, 2014. The facility will continue to increase volume over the coming months as all its lines come into production.

CHARLESTON - Not always, but sometimes it all just works out in the end like it's supposed to.
That was the case here Saturday afternoon inside the Charleston Civic Center as Wirt County topped Tyler Consolidated in an epic five-set marathon to capture the Class A state volleyball title and give orange and black head coach Janet Frazier the Tigers' ninth championship plaque.
"My 18th birthday is Sunday and at the beginning of the season, I told them that states were the weekend of my birthday and that's what I wanted from all of them and they pinky-promised me that, so they gave me what I wanted for my birthday," said smiling senior Miriam Smith after the match. "That's pretty intense to go five sets, especially being a real, real close match.

Brandy Bunch, right, reacts after her spike attempt found the floor on the Tyler Consolidated side of the net as teammate Miriam Smith runs toward her to celebrate.
"Everyone gave it their all. You couldn't have asked for more. This has been one of the best years I've played volleyball, personally. It's been great to be with all of these girls who actually give it their all, all the time, and just go for it because they wanted to win."
Smith and fellow seniors Mady Campbell, Leah Haines and Brandy Bunch indeed ended their season in style, but it was far from easy. Although the quartet of 12th-graders definitely played an integral part in defeating Little Kanawha Conference rival Tyler Consolidated for the first time in three tries this season, getting to match point was taxing.
"It was nerve-wracking at first, but I had confidence we could do it," said the libero Haines. "I wasn't really worried that we would lose. It's just really exciting because we worked so hard for it."
Haines, along with fellow defensive specialist Campbell, accounted for more than three-dozen digs as the Silver Knights fired shot after shot all match long.
"I think we just worked really hard in the back row and it all paid off in the end," Haines added. "Our blockers helped us with a lot of blocks.
"Personally, I was very emotional. I think we just stepped up and we (the seniors) showed leadership and we just got our whole team pumped and ready to go."
A year ago at this time, the Tigers were sitting home a dejected group after failing to advance out of sectional play. The main reason for that was the January 2012 death of teammate Sarah Hennen, who would've been a senior. As a then-junior, Hennen played an integral part in the Tigers' 2011 Class A title win versus Williamstown as the middle hitter earned a spot on the all-tournament team.
"We had troubles when we lost Sarah," admitted Bunch. "But we pulled through it as a team. Last year was a hard year, but it's something people have to go through and God does everything for a reason."

"MUSIC FOR MZUZU" scheduled on October 7th at the First Unitarian Church located at 306 North Aurora Street in downtown Ithaca at 7pm.
Malawi is a landlocked country in southeast Africa, bordered by Tanzania, Zambia and Mozambique. Malawi is one of the most stable, conflict free countries in Africa and is facing significant social challenges arising from extreme poverty, lack of educational opportunities, and diseases such as HIV/AIDS and malaria. Of malawi's 13.9 million people, 1 million are orphans—700,000 due to AIDS. Tragically, 1 in 5 children won't live to see their 5th birthday.
"Maloto" is an organization with the goal to transform the lives of women and children living in extreme poverty in Northern Malawi by supporting education and economic development activities. Founded by Malawian native Anna Msowoya-Keys in 2006, Maloto has launched two projects, one being the Mzuzu Academy, which opened in September of 2010 and is the first international preparatory school in Northern Malawi.
In January of 2011, Casey Georgi, a graduate of Ithaca College will be volunteering at the Mzuzu Academy to teach music. Since resources are scarce at Mzuzu, instruments and equipment are desperately needed. To succeed in providing these children with the education that they deserve and to meet these needs, there will be a benefit concert: "MUSIC FOR MZUZU" scheduled on October 7th at the First Unitarian Church located at 306 North Aurora Street in downtown Ithaca at 7pm.
Admission is $10 and a silent auction will be held to raise additional funds. Proceeds will go towards the program expenses, instruments and equipment (such as recorders, drums, speakers or a boom box), and other music-related materials.
For further information or to assist with fundraising efforts, please contact Casey Georgi, Fundraiser for Maloto at (845) 323-5794 or firstname.lastname@example.com
For further information about Maloto and their projects, please visit their website at: http://www.malotoinc.org/index.html
About Maloto
Maloto, meaning dreams, is rooted in the belief that through access to education and economic development activities women and children can improve their quality of life and lift themselves out of poverty. Maloto's two main projects: Mzuzu Academy and the Kwithu Orphan Feeding and Community Center were created in direct response to the specific challenges facing the communities in Northern Malawi.
About Casey Georgi
Born and raised in Rockland County, NY, Casey Georgi was an employee of Anna Msowoya-Keys, founder of Maloto. Upon meeting Anna, it has since been a dream of Casey's to contribute to Anna's charitable work in Malawi and is enthusiastic to finally be a part of it. Casey earned her degree in Music Education on double bass at Ithaca College.

Average Rating: 4 in 5 reviews
I played Cloud 9 for the 1st time this week. We played a two games with 3 players and three games with 4 players.
The rules are well written and the play was very smooth. However, there was one annoying thing we noticed. The 1st 3 games were won by the player who was fortunate enough to draw the most wild cards. Typically, wild cards did not get played until the owner of the wild card(s) was alone in the ballon.
We figured the wild card needed to be weakened.
Suggestion 1: Instead of the wild card being sufficient to pilot the ship, we made the wild card equal to any one card (owner's choice). As before, the owner of the wild card was never obligated to play it. We adopted this change and all the players thought it was a good upgrade.
Suggestion 2: Only allow one wild card to be used in any given trip. This might introduce some interesting strategy, especially if there are only two players left in the baloon. We did not try this one.
Suggestion 3: A player cannot use a wild card when flying solo. We did not try this one either.
The rules as written make this game a 4. Fixing the wild card problem makes this game a 5.
Out of the Box has the most amazingly brilliant formula for creating games. At first glance you would almost think their main goal is simply to make their games easy to learn. This IS a major selling feature of all of their games (it's definitely part of the reason that everyone I've played with likes their games). But the amazing part is that they don't sacrifice anything in the quality of the game, when making it easy to learn.
Cloud 9 is another great example of Out of the Box brilliance. It takes me 1 minute to explain the rules of the game, but once everyone understands it takes several plays to develop strategies.
For a detailed description of the rules see other customer reviews. I will merely impart a wee bit of strategy I have developed, in anticipation that you will try this great game. My strategy is simply this, don't look at your own cards. Until you actually have to see if you have the cards to make the balloon rise, don't look. Then you have the greatest poker face of all. No one can read from your expression whether to stay in the balloon or to jump, because you are as clueless as they are. Hey, it may sound silly, but it works for me.
In conclusion I will reiterate that this is a great light game. With easy to follow instructions and very attractive components, pick this one up. It is a blast for the whole family.

FDA consequently is swamped with postmarketing submissions. Last year industry filed more than 2,600 supplements for new drugs and biologics. About one-third require agency prior approval, and the rest are changes-being-effected (CBE) submissions which manufacturers may implement pending FDA approval or after 30 days for a CBE-30 supplement. The Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) requires FDA to review 90% of prior approval supplements within four months and CBE supplements in six months.
CONSIDERING QUALITYThe burdensome task of preparing and filing supplements, moreover, apparently discourages manufacturers from upgrading equipment and modernizing outdated production systems. That reluctance runs counter to FDA's initiative to modernize current good manufacturing practices (cGMPs) for the 21st Century, which encourages manufacturers to adopt modern quality control tools and systems able to ensure consistent quality through the product lifecycle. FDA wants its rules to reward companies that adopt Quality by Design (QbD) approaches and risk management models with reduced regulatory oversight in terms of modified manufacturing supplement filing requirements and less frequent plant inspections.
The GMP modernization initiative thus provides a framework for reviewing manufacturing supplement filing requirements with an eye to reducing the need to review low-risk manufacturing changes. FDA acknowledges that its current policy reflects a desire for "extensive control over virtually every aspect of the manufacturing process," according to its announcement of a February public meeting to discuss agency policy. The goal is to permit manufacturers with strong internal change control systems to have more flexibility to make timely, low-risk improvements in processes without FDA approval. Such a risk-based approach to post-marketing regulation also would permit agency staffers to focus oversight on those changes most likely to have serious consequences for product safety and quality.
Helen Winkle, director of the Office of Pharmaceutical Science (OPS) in the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER), acknowledged at the February meeting that FDA feels there is a "lack of flexibility" in current rules and wants to allow more manufacturing changes to be made without coming to the agency. A first step is to revise current postapproval changes regulations for drugs (section 314.70 of federal regulations), while also considering how to extend such a policy to biologics that are governed by different regulations (section 601.12). The rules are very similar for both product categories, and CDER officials would like a common approach for regulating well-characterized biotech therapies now under their purview. Although it may be more difficult to reduce oversight of manufacturing changes for more complex biologics, officials in the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) are examining ways to update postapproval reporting policies for vaccines, plasma derivatives, and other biologics. CBER is revising its changes-to-be reported guidance for biological products to clarify opportunities for reduced reporting of less risky changes, such as some modifications to water systems or adoption of new potency tests.
Meanwhile, CDER is reviewing comments from industry and other interested parties to the issues raised at the February public meeting, as well as a subsequent workshop on FDA's Pharmaceutical Quality Initiative that was cosponsored by AAPS and ISPE. And further discussion is scheduled for the May meeting of FDA's Pharmaceutical Sciences Advisory Committee.
Although there is broad agreement that the current supplement review system is outmoded and over-prescriptive, revising the rules will not be that easy. Up until the 1990s, most postapproval manufacturing changes required FDA approval, particularly those involving biologics. The agency launched initiatives in the mid-1990s to reduce reporting requirements for certain manufacturing changes to drugs and certain well-characterized biotech products, efforts that were codified by the FDA Modernization Act of 1997 (FDAMA).

The Standards
High School: Functions
Linear, Quadratic, and Exponential Models HSF-LE.A.2
2. Construct linear and exponential functions, including arithmetic and geometric sequences, given a graph, a description of a relationship, or two input-output pairs (include reading these from a table).
Students should know that any relationship is all about give and take. For instance, you'll give them an A if they take their homework seriously (or Shmoopily). In any case, you've been giving them functions for far too long now. It's their turn to give some functions back.
Students should know the difference between an arithmetic sequence and a geometric sequence. An arithmetic sequence is a list of numbers in which we add a constant number to the previous one. A geometric sequence is a list of numbers in which we multiply the previous number by a constant called the "common ratio." Basically, arithmetic is addition and geometric is multiplication.
Given a graph of an equation or inequality, pairs of input and output values, and a description of a relationship, students should be able to come up with an algebraic way to represent it. Namely, functions.
It's easiest to start with input and output values. That way, the students can clearly see how x is changing relative to f(x). For instance, given this table of values, what can we decipher? (Do they form arithmetic or geometric sequences?)
The first thing that must be done is for students to realize by how much our independent, or input value, is changing. That is, compare the x values. In this case, it's a relatively easy 1-unit interval.
Next we must look at how much the dependent value (f(x), or the y variable) is changing with respect to its input value. That is, compare the f(x) value to its x value. In this case, once again, it's simply by 1 unit.
But we're not done yet! We must see how our output values change between one another as the independent variable changes. That is, compare the f(x) values to each other. In this case the interval is a steadfast 1. This is an arithmetic sequence.
Students should recall that when the difference in interval is constant, we can presume that our equation is most likely linear. In this case it is simply a matter of f(x) = x + 1.
When graphs are involved, the easiest thing to do is plot points. That way, students can assemble a list of input and output values from the graph. As for descriptions, words to watch out for are "exponential," "linear," "multiple," "constant," and "factor."

Avira FireWall won't start in Windows XP-mode of Windows 7
General notes about "Windows XP Mode"
"Windows XP-Mode" is a special Windows Virtual PC image, which is only available for Windows 7. It was developed as a temporary solution to make old applications bootable which do not work natively with Windows 7.
The default FireWall installation of Avira in this particular XP-Mode makes the entire virtual machine unbootable. It turned out that this can't be changed with an Avira-Fix, because the bug lies in the architecture of this special virtual XP-Mode.
The Avira setup routine has been refined and recognizes attempts to install Avira in the "Windows XP-Mode" image. Once that happens, the Avira FireWall won't be installed so that the Virtual Machine keeps running.
It is therefore not possible to use the Avira Firewall in this type of Windows virtualization.
Do not use this "Windows XP-Mode", but rather a full virtualization with software, such as VMware, VirtualBox or Windows Virtual PC. Here you should be able to install and use the Avira FireWall without problems.

Activity holidays becoming more popular
Activity holidays are becoming increasingly popular as people want to do more than just lounge around the beach, the Association of Independent Tour Operators (Aito) has said.
The activity holiday market has grown 17.2 per cent between 2003 and 2007, according to recent research by Mintel.
By the end of 2008, activity holidays are expected to account for nearly one in eight holidays taken by Britons, growing from just over one in ten in 2003.
Commenting on the trend, Mr Bradley said: "People are feeling that they want to be more active on holiday rather than just purely relaxing on the beach or just doing a city break.
"They want to feel like they are maybe learning a new skill or they are working out where they are and seeing wonderful places around the world."
Mintel estimates that around 10.2 million activity breaks were taken in 2007.

British Pair Score Shock Wins
Farah - claimed shock victory.
By David Martin, PA Sport
Mohamed Farah and Becky Lyne secured surprise victories in the Newcastle/Gateshead road races as an exceptional summer season for both British athletes ended on a high.
They triumphed in the David Lloyd Leisure Great North Mile, beating quality fields containing overseas and domestic rivals.
Farah, who lost last month's European 5,000metres gold medal by less than half a stride, flung himself over the line to clinch a photo-finish victory.
The Somalia-born 23-year-old denied Ivan Heshko a hat-trick of wins in the race. Heshko had to settle for second, although he was given the same time - four minutes and 5.5 seconds - as Farah.
Kenya's Alex Kipchirchir, the world indoor champion and World Athletics Final gold medalist, was just three hundredths of a second behind.
"Remember those were world-class athletes out there," said Farah.
Farah will rest for a couple of weeks before turning his attention to winning the European Cross Country title in mid-December.
Lyne's victory was every bit as surprising as Farah's.
Competing in only her second road race, the European 800m bronze medalist clocked four minutes and 40.3 seconds, pushing Tatyana Golovchenko into second place.
Golovchenko, Russia's World Student Games 1,500m silver medalist, was 0.99secs adrift, with Poland's Justyna Lesman third in 4:45.4.
"I couldn't get used to it," said 24-year-old Lyne.
"It felt like I was running a lot quicker than I was and I'm not used to holding a steady pace.
"I've been running in a park to get the whole mentality of road running and I just thought I'd follow the leaders and when I decided to go, I gave them no chance."
Meseret Defar and Craig Mottram delighted the huge crowds at the Newcastle Quayside finish, setting new world road running best performances for 3,000m.
Defar lowered the previous women's figure of eight minutes and 53 seconds with 8:46.9.
"It was really hard running on my own and it hurt, but I always thought I could do it," said the Olympic 5,000m champion.
Mottram fought a magnificent duel with defending champion Eliud Kipchoge as both he and the Kenyan shattered the previous men's best of 7:49.
Mottram burst past Kipchoge in the closing 200m to clinch victory by 1.4 seconds in 7:41.7, Ivan Hierro of Spain placing third in 7:54.0.
The 26-year-old Australian said: "I said before the race that winning against Eliud was more important than chasing records but his pace was fast and we both beat the target.
"It's a great way to end the season before I go home to Australia on Monday."

Obama Administration Sued Over Gulf Of Mexico Fracking
Farron Cousins | January 12, 2015
By Farron Cousins • Monday, January 12, 2015 - 11:07
At a time when the rest of the world (for a host of reasons) is shying away from the hydraulic fracturing "boom," the United States appears to be hell-bent on allowing fracking in every available space. The latest target for the industry has been the already imperiled Gulf of Mexico, the same waters that are still reeling from the effects of BP's Deepwater Horizon oil disaster.
In its haste to allow as much fracking as possible in the Gulf, the Obama administration has repeatedly failed to release information about the dangers of fracking in the Gulf of Mexico, as well as information regarding the total number of permits that have been issued.
But a new lawsuit by The Center for Biological Diversity seeks to make that information public.
The lawsuit says that the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management and the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement are obligated to release this information to the public. The government has so far failed to respond to the group's FOIA request to make this information known to the public.
The risks of offshore fracking are well known, and The Center for Biological Diversity has a report that details the dangers that have already been realized off the coast of California, where offshore fracking has been under way for some time.
In that report, the Center uncovered some disturbing trends about the wastewater that is created during fracking:

The basement membranes, which are specialized extracellular matrices overlying epithelial or endothelial cells, play an important role in organogenesis and cancer metastasis. How communication is mediated between basement membranes and cells, however, remains to be one of the most fundamental and unanswered questions in biology. Our research examines how one such basement membrane, namely the pial basement membrane, interacts with neural progenitors and early-born neurons to ensure proper brain development.
While characterizing a newly defined human brain malformation that predominantly disrupts the frontal cortex, we discovered that GPR56, a member of the adhesion G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) family, is the disease-causing gene. We further demonstrated that (1) the ligand of GPR56 in the developing brain is collagen III; (2) collagen III is present in the meninges and the pial basement membrane; (3) GPR56 is expressed in neural progenitors and early-born neurons; (4) loss of GPR56 or its ligand collagen III results in the formation of neuronal ectopias on the brain surface that arise through penetrating the basement membrane, much like what is observed in cancer metastasis. Thus, our work revealed a novel receptor-ligand pair that regulates cerebral cortical development by mediating the communication between migrating neurons and the pial basement membrane. In the next phase of our research, we plan on further studying how GPR56 mediates the interaction between the early-born neurons and the pial basement membrane, in order to both define the boundary between the neocortex and the meninges and provide a framework for the developing cortex.
Although we have made some major strides in characterizing GPR56, there are a total of 33 members of the adhesion GPCR family, of which 2/3 are expressed in the central nervous system. Many of these GPCRs, are considered to be "orphaned" GPCRs, as their respective ligands are unknown. Our lab is also dedicated to characterizing these orphaned GPCRs that are essential to brain development.
To accomplish the research goals listed above, we use a combination of mouse genetics, cell biology, biochemistry, proteomics, imaging techniques, and ex vivo as well as in vivo electroporation.

Not enough teams to fill all bowls
Miami's decision to ban itself from postseason football this season may have a few bowl executives squirming. With the Hurricanes out of the picture, there are now 61 bowl eligible teams — and 70 available spots in the 35 bowls. A handful of teams still have a chance to reach six wins and join the list of qualifiers, but there may not be enough when it's all said and done.

The first day of the first Washington-Oregon Potato Conference 2010 is now in the history books. Let it be noted that it was a cold and rainy Tuesday in Kenewick but the weather didn't hold people from crowding into the Three Rivers Convention Center for the Cultivar Performance Workshop and to pick up all the free schwag at the Ag Expo.
At the Spudman booth Jasa Simon and I had a constant stream of visitors filling out the surveys for a limited edition "Proud to be a Spudman" stocking cap and just as happened at last week's Idaho Potato Conference our supply of caps were exhausted by mid-afternoon. We have an ample supply of bumper stickers and plenty of free magazines. Please stop by and complete a survey if you're at the conference on Wednesday or Thursday.
I'm encouraged by the positive comments I've heard at the conferences about Spudman and I look forward to meeting more growers and people involved in the potato industry during the next two days at the conference. If you don't get to the conference you can always email me with your comments or story suggestions.
I'm picking up on a general consensus among some seed growers that the Norkotah may be the root of all that is wrong in the potato industry. It's a limited field of opinion but just today while speaking individually to a handful of seed growers that all expressed some degree of animosity toward the Norkotah. The basic complaint is that it's a bad tasting potato, doesn't bake, boil or fry well. A good looking potato with a good yield but the people I spoke with today were adamant that the best thing that could happen is if growers stopped producing it.
During the cultivar performance workshop Mark Pavek, Rick Knowles, Dan Hane, Rick Navarre and Chuck Brown discussed some up and coming cultivars that show promise, from standard brown skin, white flesh to speciality varieties including baby potatoes, fingerlings, red skin/red flesh, purple skin/purple flesh and yellow flesh potatoes. I'll have more on this tomorrow.

With almost 500 RR Donnelley workers out of work in Jefferson City, the city's Chamber of Commerce says it has been working hard to bring in new jobs to the city.
Chamber officials say it hopes that one new business moving into town will help alleviate some of the unemployment.
The Chamber of Commerce sold more than nine acres of land to packaging company, Morris Converting, LLC, under market value in hopes of bringing in new jobs to the area.
Morris promises to bring at least 20 new jobs with plans to add more in the future.
"A lot of people will be able to apply for those jobs, and they will be up and running in 2014. So, very quick turnaround for the company," said Missy Bonnot of the Jefferson City Area Chamber of Commerce.

BRP and Piaggio are trying to sell consumers on the benefits of having two wheels in the front and a single drive wheel in the rear. But they're only two of several companies now operating in the trike market. (See Big Twin Dealer inserted after page 112 for updates on a V-twin three-wheeler.)
Take the Cirbin (yes, Cirbin). The makers of the Cirbin V-13R say their vehicle is designed to be fun, stylish and performance-driven. Particular attention has been paid to the driving position, steering geometry and centralized weight distribution. It also has to be affordable. Powered by Harley's V-Rod engine mated to a five-speed sequential transmission, the V13R is now listed in the 2008 edition of the Kelley Blue Book and comes with a VIN and Manufacturer's Certificate of Origin. It also features a 12-month, 10,000-mile limited warranty.
The Canadian company is in its second round of funding and is seeking potential investors, according to Andre Morissette, Cirbin co-founder (along with David Neault). They're now looking for a dealer base, although Morissette says the liquid-cooled 60-degree H-D Revolution V-twin engine should be able to be serviced at any Harley dealer. The company plans to offer free telephone support and replacement part availability.
Then there's T-Rex (see photo above). Developed in 1994 by Campagna Corp. of Quebec and available for nearly a decade, the vehicle is outfitted with a 1400cc Kawasaki engine and a six-speed close-ratio gearbox. It can achieve 0-60 mph in 3.9 seconds, according to the makers, climb to a top speed of 130 mph and carry lateral acceleration of 1.3g. The 2007 model is retailing at $49,999 to start.
What's new with T-Rex is its owner: Ray Georges Chehata, who purchased the company last year. "It is our goal to bring this company and the product to the level that it deserves to be at," he says. He hopes that T-Rex fans will remain "patient during this transition phase."
The T-Rex is being sold through Aquasun Motorsports (New Smyrna Beach, Fla.), DGY Motorsports (Downers Grove, Ill.), Grand Prix Motoring (Houston, Texas), Big Kid Toys (Napa, Calif.), TWG Motorsports (Denver) and Integrated Innovations (Simi Valley, Calif.). — Guido Ebert

Seems to be a great wine cooler.

Comments about Avanti 28 Bottle Free Standing Wine Cooler:
Other than the door sweating (and dripping on the floor) the unit has performed exactly as one would hope. Shelving a little tight but can wiggle and get Champagne bottles in. Shape of door glass allows long bottles that look like they won't fit.This is the best price for a wine cooler that hold this many bottles and works this well that I have found.

This is a great example of Mount Washington's Colonial ware. This vase features a woman in a flowing dress walking through the woods playing a lyre. Detail is wonderful, with trees and foliage extending around the body of the piece. The rim is gold decorated, with thickly enameled gold flowers, leaves and scrolls on the top of the base. The vase is a large size, standing 14" tall and measuring 4 3/8" across at the base.Similar examples can be found in Betty Sisk's book on Mount Washington glassware. This piece is in good condition with no chips, cracks, or repairs. A nice example of a very rare glass!

BEAVER CREEK — For some, Adam Stone's large scale paintings are a scene from their dreams. Literally.
The L.A.-based pop surrealism painter has done plenty of commissions for folks where he "marries" his style with the vision in their head.
"Some people will say 'I like this symbol,' or 'I had a dream of a white elephant or of this underwater sequence,'" Stone said.
For Stone, who takes part in the Beaver Creek Arts Festival today and Sunday, painting is all about imagination anyway, be it his own or others.
"My work encompasses whimsy, humor, bold colors, imagination," he said. "It doesn't matter if you're young or old, it's like walking into a dream and everyone gets something different from it."
"Serendipity," one of Stone's "quintessential" pieces, was the first in what became a series featuring elephants.
"The underlying message is there is no dream too impossible to achieve if you keep your eye on the ball," he said.
Stone was born into a family of professional painters and sculptors.
"I started selling my art work professionally at the age of 17 on the boardwalk in Venice Beach, California," he said. "Growing up inside of this hyper creative family provided me with invaluable support to pursue all of my creative endeavors."
His parents raised three children — who are all artists now — by selling artwork at fine art festivals in California in the '70s.
"They were pioneers when they started," he said. "We recently had a gallery showing here in Culver City, California — a major gallery art hub — where all five family members were showing together for the very first time," Stone said. "My mother, Carole Shultz, was featured posthumously. She was as talented as they come. She raised an entire family by selling her handmade clay sculptures and figurines and paintings in the street. My father started painting in his early 40s, having never taken an art class or picked up a brush. It wasn't long before he was one of the most, if not the most, prolific and successful painter in the U.S., selling over 400 original paintings a year for over two decades."
During the past two decades, Stone has become a very successful street artist himself; he participates in 25-30 exhibitions a year.
"As a result, I've cultivated a very large, diverse and loyal following," Stone said. Celebrities, including Rosie O'Donnell, Eddie Murphy, Nils Lofgren and more have purchased his work.
You can see his work today and tomorrow at booth 9 and 10 at the Beaver Creek Art Festival.

WESTPORT — The Westport Historical Society presents a program that provides a rare and fascinating insight into the lives of women during the early 18th century, Thursday, May 16 at 7 p.m. at the Macomber Cummunity House, 938 Main Road. Independent scholar Michelle Marchetti Coughlin reconstructs the life of Mehetabel Chandler Coit (1673-1758), the author of one of the earliest diaries by an American woman.
Mehetabel kept this diary for over 60 years from the age of 14 into her 70s. After her death, the diary was passed down through her family, and today it remains in private hands.
The diary contains numerous poems, recipes and medical remedies, and depicts a rich and varied life not only running a household and raising a family, but also reading, writing, conducting business and maintaining connections with a wide circle of family and friends.
In her recent publication "One Colonial Woman's World" (published by University of Massachusetts Press), Coughlin explores the numerous — and sometimes surprising — ways in which Mehetabel's personal experiences were linked to broader social and political developments. It also provides insight into the lives of countless other colonial American women whose history remains largely untold.
Suggested donation is $5. For more information, contact Westport Historical Society at (508) 636-6011 or visit www.wpthistory.org.

TracksAuction.com To Auction John Lennon's Gretsch Guitar
Posted: October 7, 2014
TracksAuction.com are set to auction John Lennon's Gretsch 6120 guitar which Lennon gave to his cousin David Birch in 1967.
The Gretsch 6120 is a historically important instrument from the former Beatle's personal collection, used and photographed during the April 1966 "Paperback Writer" session held at EMI Studio 3 at London's Abbey Road.
Birch was given the guitar when he visited Lennon in Weybridge in November 1967. Interested in starting up a band, Birch asked his famous cousin if he had any spare guitars.
"I was just cheeky enough to ask John for one of his spare guitars," recalled Birch.
Lennon then gifted Birch with a Gretsch 6120, serial number 53940, that he's owned ever since.
Beatles historian and author Mark Lewisohn and Birch discuss the instrument in the video clip below.
Online bidding begins on Nov. 14 at www.TracksAuction.com, concluding with a live auction at Le Meridien Hotel in London on Nov. 23.

John Lennon's Gretsch G6120DC Featured In Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame
Posted: June 22, 2012
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame naturally has an extensive Beatles exhibit, and that collection was recently bolstered by the addition of John Lennon's 1963 Gretsch G6120DC guitar.
Howard Kramer, the H.O.F.'s curatorial director, explained that Lennon that the guitar was mainly kept in the studio.
"John picked up this guitar in 1966. He used it in the sessions for 'Paperback Writer, but in fact, he never even played it on stage," Kramer said.
Learn more in the video below.

Fred & Dinah Gretsch Honor John Lennon
Posted: December 9, 2010
Gretsch Guitar Placed at the Imagine Memorial in Central Park
Representing the fourth generation of Gretsch musical-instrument manufacturers, Fred and Dinah Gretsch made a visit to New York City's Central Park today — the 30th anniversary of the assassination of legendary singer, composer and musician John Lennon. The couple was there to place a Gretsch Historic Series acoustic guitar near the "Imagine" memorial within the Strawberry Fields area. The guitar was inscribed with the word "Imagine" as well as being signed by Fred and Dinah. It was their way of paying their respects to John Lennon and to all his fans.
Although the Gretsches have lived in Georgia for many years, Fred Gretsch spent his boyhood in the New York City area.
"I was here in 1964 when the Beatles came," says Fred. "Coming back to New York, where my family roots are, always kindles many tender reminiscences. But coming this time to honor John Lennon's memory makes this visit especially poignant."
Inside the tribute guitar placed by Fred and Dinah was a copy of a photo that's near and dear to their hearts. It shows John Lennon playing a Gretsch guitar during the recording session for the Beatles' classic hit "Paperback Writer" in 1966. The following reference to that guitar appears in the Beatles Gear book by Andy Babiuk:
"Keeping in step with their scheduled LP and 45 releases, the group set out to record a new single, 'Paperback Writer.' The April 13th session was photographically documented for The Beatles Monthly Book providing detailed information on the instruments used. New to their guitar line-up was a Gretsch Chet Atkins 6120 that Lennon used. The early-1960s orange-finished double-cutaway 6120 hollow body guitar had gold-plated hardware apart from its aluminum-colored Bigsby [vibrato tailpiece]."
In addition to the fact that John Lennon played the guitar, Fred Gretsch offered another reason for its sentimental value.
"It would have been made in the 1960s at the Gretsch factory in Brooklyn," he explained. "My uncle, Fred Gretsch Jr., was running the company at that time. And ironically, Uncle Fred died in 1980—the same year in which John Lennon died.
"John's music made an impression on millions of people around the world," he concludes. "And it continues to do so, generation after generation. We placed the guitar at John's memorial as a symbol that we hope will remind people of the power and importance of his music."

Mike Swick. UFC Photo.
It looks like Mike Swick isn't going to get a crack at 2x former UFC champion Matt Hughes as speculated earlier. Instead, his next opponent will be middleweight-prospect-turned-welterweight-contender Martin Kampmann at UFC 103 on Sept. 19.
MMA Junkie with the scoop:
Martin Kampmann (15-2 MMA, 6-1 UFC) and Mike Swick (14-2 MMA, 9-1 UFC) have finalized bout agreements for a contest that will have an immediate impact on the UFC's 170-pound division.
…Additional sources familiar with the bout have indicated the organization may be utilizing the contest to determine who will meet the reigning welterweight titleholder following the UFC 100 title fight between current champ Georges St. Pierre and challenger Thiago Alves.
In my opinion, this is the best welterweight No.1 contender fight the UFC could have possibly made. What do you think?

Heart Association Chief: 'Good Intentions Aren't Enough'
Cass Wheeler, CEO of the American Heart Association, is retiring at the end of the year, after 11 years at the helm of one of the nation's best-known health-advocacy philanthropies.
Normally, the Health Blog turns to cardiologists to talk about advances in heart disease, but we thought the time was right to get an executive's perspective on the fight against the nation's leading killer.
Wheeler, a 68-year-old Texan with a gentleman's Southern drawl, tells the Health Blog he asked the organization for a "breakthrough goal" when he took office in 1997. He got one: reduce death from heart disease and stroke by 25% by 2010. Soon enough, he says, the AHA "synched up" with the CDC's Healthy People 2010 campaign. The target helped energize and focus the organization, he says.
Earlier this year, two years ahead of schedule, the AHA announced that the age-adjusted death rate from heart disease fell 30.7% from 1999, according to CDC data from 2006. Preliminary numbers indicate the target for stroke was surpassed as well. If the rates just hold steady through 2010, that means "190,000 people will be having dinner with their families then that wouldn't have otherwise," Wheeler says.
But a surge in diabetes and obesity, both important factors in heart risk, threatens to unravel the gains. The AHA has long focused its prevention message on middle-age and older people –those approaching prime heart attack age — but these problems are emerging in young people. That means the AHA needs fresh messages geared to a new audience.
"We're going to have to function in a more sophisticated manner," Wheeler says. "Some of the younger individuals out there, if you're not interacting with sophisticated technology, then you're not interacting with them at all." The AHA is increasingly using such channels as YouTube (see the video above, where Wheeler talks about the AHA's position on a bill that would give the FDA power to regulate tobacco) and Facebook to get its message out.
Other AHA initiatives on his watch were Get with the Guidelines and Go Red for Women — aimed at both improving care and increasing awareness of the signs and risk factors for heart disease and stroke.
Behind the scenes, Wheeler modernized the AHA, consolidating 56 state and metropolitan affiliates into 10 regional units under a single corporate structure. In fiscal 2007, the AHA spent 77% of its budget on such mission-related as research, community services, and professional education. Another 8% went for management and 15% for fund-raising. Wheeler wants to reduce operating costs further and says that among other things, the AHA is exploring whether to jointly run back office operations with other charities to save money. The independent Charity Navigator gives the AHA a rating of three stars (out of a possible four).
Hand-in-hand with cost management is appropriate disclosure on the sources of funds, he acknowledges. Donations from pharmaceutical and medical device companies accounted for about 6% of AHA's fiscal 2007 revenues. The organization now posts details on corporate donations on its Web site.
Still, the AHA was criticized earlier this year for issuing a statement some saw as too friendly toward Vytorin, a cholesterol drug co-marketed by Merck and Schering-Plough, who are also substantial AHA donors. The AHA said then the statement wasn't influenced by the companies.
Corporate donors enable the organization to broaden its reach, Wheeler says, but relationships with them need careful management. "We have to make sure there is a firewall to insure there isn't any influence on any of our education messages or our scientific statements," he says. "We are an organization that relies on public trust."
Finally, Wheeler says nonprofits should be poised for some of the turmoil affecting for-profit companies. "The nonprofit sector is going to change substantially," he says, with more demands for accountability and transparency.
"We're moving rapidly to an environment where good intentions aren't enough. You'd better be producing something and focused on end results."
