Igby Goes Down
Ahh, fresh Culkins! With Macaulay Culkin now thoroughly chewed up and spat out by the Hollywood machine, destined to spend the rest of his life jumping at the sight of a movie camera, a flashbulb, or another human being, here come younger siblings Kieran and Rory to provide fresh fodder for the cinematic rendering plant. The two Culkins play title character Igby at different ages, and already carry an air of disaffection suggesting it's only a matter of time before one or both of them become entangled in a drug problem, a paparazzi slapfight, or a marriage to Drew Barrymore. But not to worry, father Kit and mother Patricia had the foresight to breed up a whole mess of Culkins (though in the divorce, some of them did reportedly manage to escape).
If only Kieran and Rory had been so lucky. "Igby Goes Down" is billed as a dark comedy, but first-time writer/director Burr Seers forgot to add much in the way of comedy. Igby (Kieran Culkin/Rory Culkin) is the disaffected son of a disaffected mother (Susan Sarandon) and disassociated father (Bill Pullman), whose problems stem from the fact that they're just too rich. Unhappy and bored with his life of wealth and privilege, Igby gets kicked out of one fine School of Future Leaders after another, and eventually escapes to roam New York City with a cast of companions that includes his guileless godfather, D.H. (Jeff Goldblum), a beady-eyed heroin addict (Amanda Peet) and an unconvincing love interest, Sookie (Claire Danes). The only funny part of the movie happens when Ryan Phillippe, in the role of Igby's older brother Oliver, delivers his lines like Thurston Howell the Third on Prozac. Sadly, however, the humor is not intentional.
In what seems to be a growing trend in movies, none of the characters can claim a single redeeming quality. They're mental cases because they're rich and can afford to be. Seers tries hard to get us to at least pity Igby, but when he's threatened with physical harm, you actually root for his attacker. Spending two hours locked in a dark room with these characters is like being forced to endure your own free sample of hell.
The end effect is a film that reads like a failed novel. Once we've had our initial helping of quirky character sketches, things cease to progress and the movie begins to go around in circles like a Monte Carlo driven by a dead guy in a K-mart parking lot. At that point, it's just a matter of waiting for the thing to run out of gas.

When the subject of the top journeymen in the NBA comes up, the first player that comes to mind is probably Jim Jackson. Jackson changed jerseys a whopping 12 times over a 14-year career.
Jim Jackson played for the Dallas Mavericks, New Jersey Nets, Philadelphia 76ers, Golden St. Warriors, Portland Trail Blazers, Atlanta Hawks, Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat, Sacramento Kings, Houston Rockets, Phoenix Suns and finally the Los Angeles Lakers.
This would make Jackson, a former Ohio St. Buckeye, the most prolific journeyman in the history of the NBA. I'm not anointing Jackson as the greatest journeyman ever, simply because he played for 12 teams. I am calling him the most-traveled player with the most skills, that seemed to muster the most interest from NBA general managers than any other player in NBA history.
It behooved Jackson to never change his home address from the original address he had in Dallas while playing as one of the three J's with Jason Kidd and Jamaal Mashburn. Jackson suited up with a lot of different franchises and signed on the dotted line on so many contracts, that until this very day, he probably doesn't remember them all.
As we take a look at a countdown of the players who played for the most teams, keep in mind these players had to do something that not only kept them going from team to team but also kept them on a list of desired players by general managers.
Jackson gets the top billing as the most-traveled and most-desired player in the NBA, and this would undoubtedly make him the best endorser of luggage in all of sports.
Here is a countdown of the players who changed jerseys most often and played the most years in the league.
I am adding together the number of years they played in the league with the number of times they changed jerseys, to come up with my own special journeyman formula.
With my special journeyman formula, Jackson scores a 26 to start the countdown.
So sit back and keep your seat, as we take a look at a list of NBA players that couldn't keep theirs.

With the final trading days of 2013 fast ticking away, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI ) tacked on another win to an already stellar year, pushing further into record territory. The blue chips finished up 73 points, or 0.5%, boosted by a strong consumer confidence report, which hit a five-month high today. After two months of strong economic reports, including back-to-back gains of 200,000 jobs in October and November, the consumer confidence report helps establish that the economic recovery is carrying over to consumers, who drive 70% of the country's economic activity. The University of Michigan's survey jumped from 75.1 in November to 82.5. While that was actually slightly lower than expectations, it's still a strong sign for the economy, as consumers pointed to improved job prospects and gains in stocks and property values as reasons for their restored faith.
Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL ) shares got a 3.8% bounce today after the iPhone-maker signed a long-awaited deal with China Mobile. Apple's lack of a product placement in the biggest country in the world's No. 1 telecom provider was seen as the biggest surmountable obstacle facing the company. China Mobile gives the iPhone-maker access to a whopping 763 million subscribers, but Apple's phones are still believed to be pricey for the vast majority of Chinese consumers. The company was pooh-poohed back in September when it rolled out the iPhone 5c at a price point much higher than investors had hoped for. Still, the new China Mobile deal gives Apple access to a vast lower-end trove of customers if it should choose to target them in the future.
Tiffany (NYSE: TIF ) shares finished the day essentially unchanged, falling 0.1%, as investors ignored news that the jewelry specialist was this morning ordered in arbitration to pay Swatch $449 million because of a breach of contract in their joint venture. The legal standoff began in 2011 when Swatch said Tiffany was impeding the development of its partnership, and Tiffany CEO Michael Kowalski said he was "shocked and extremely disappointed" by the arbitrators' decision. Still, investors seemed to brush off the report, as it won't affect operations going forward and the company has cash on hand to pay for it, even though the award amounts to about 4% of the company's market cap.
Stocks for the long haul

90 Points | Stephen Tanzer's IWC - May/June 2011
(from Monte Bello Vineyard): Vivid ruby. Oak-spicy aromas of redcurrant, dried cherry and cola, with a hint of smokiness in the background. Fleshy and smooth in the mouth, offering juicy dark berry flavors and mounting vanilla and mocha notes. Finishes with good smoky persistence and resonating cherry and vanilla notes. Gentle tannins make for accessibility but also suggest that this will repay at least five years of patience. This wine, made from the lots that are more accessible and elegantly structured than those destined for Ridge's flagship Monte Bello bottling, has 20% merlot, 3% petit verdot and 2% cabernet franc in the blend.

Cardiovascular Training Grant
The Johns Hopkins Division of Cardiology Training Grant in Cardiovascular Medicine has been continuously active for more than 33 years; its guiding mission is to train our nation's leading academic cardiologists and cardiovascular research scientists.
Alumni from the program include scores of faculty members at all ranks in academic Cardiology Divisions throughout the country, many now holding Director positions in various departments, as well as basic science trainees who have gone on to establish their own independent research as clinical or non-clinical faculty.
Our strength is the interdisciplinary nature of the program
We conduct research that spans basic molecular biology, genetics and cell science of the heart and vessels through and including clinical studies and population science focusing on epidemiology, outcomes research and health care policy.
Our faculty has a long history of collaboration, integrating multiple disciplines to achieve a common research goal. Trainees benefit from this environment, engaging in projects that typically bridge different areas of scientific inquiry. The more than 80 faculty members represent the Johns Hopkins Division of Cardiology, as well as faculty from:
- The Department of Biomedical Engineering,
- The Institute of Genetic Medicine,
- The Institute of Cell Therapeutics,
- Neuroscience,
- The Departments of Cellular and Molecular Biology,
- Radiology,
- Epidemiology and Public Health.
Postdoctoral fellowship support
The training program funds 11 post-doctoral fellows providing salary support for from one to three consecutive years of dedicated research, with one to two years as the norm. All candidates for the program must be United States citizens or permanent residents of the United States. The candidate pool is divided between post-doctoral clinical MD or MD-PhD fellows who are admitted to the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine Cardiology training fellowship, and individuals who apply or are recruited from outside institutions with PhD (or MD- PhD) degrees, but who are not involved with the clinical cardiology training. Both groups engage in a broad range of research endeavors, as well as receiving mentoring from senior researchers and primary investigators.
Some examples of current research:
- Molecular Physiology of Heart Failure and Hypertrophy
- Novel treatments of heart failure
- Genetics of heart disease
- Ion channel function and pathophysiology
- Endothelial signaling and thrombosis
- Oxidant and nitrosative stress modulation
- Cardiac Dyssynchrony and Resynchronization

KENTWOOD, MI – After waiting almost three hours for a hearing to begin, the family of shooting victim Michael Bockheim and the families of the men accused of being responsible hugged.
After waiving probable cause hearings, Vernon Lewis Heath and Charles Allen Brown will face maximum sentences of life in prison if convicted in proceedings in Kent County Circuit Court.
Bockheim, 28, was shot while riding in a minivan Jan. 15.
The driver, 28-year-old Nicholas Slater, told police that he was shot during a street robbery, but later said the shooting occurred during a drug deal that turned into a robbery in a parking lot near 48th Street SE and Eastern Avenue, investigators say.
Bockheim died at Barberry Street SW and Byron Center Avenue, where Slater allegedly stopped to call for help.
Police say they do not believe Bockheim was involved in the alleged drug deal.
Court documents include accusations from Kentwood Police that at least two witnesses overheard 19-year-old Brown talk about committing a robbery an hour before the shooting occurred.
In Kentwood District Court, Assistant Kent County Prosecutor Kellee Koncki told Judge William Kelly that while Heath did turn himself in, he still tried to elude police for a time and did not turn himself in until two months after the shooting. She said he left the state to avoid capture.
Koncki said the use of investigative subpoenas was a valuable tool in helping investigators track down the suspects.
Koncki said that while Heath was not believed to be the shooter, he was still culpable.
Heath's Detroit-based attorney Marlon Blake Evans said his client was working to get the money to hire an attorney.
Meanwhile, Brown faces felony murder, armed robbery and felony use of a firearm.
Brown fired the shot that grazed Slater's wrist, but struck Bockheim in the chest, police allege.
Brown was arrested and held in South Carolina.
Heath is charged with armed robbery and conspiracy, although Koncki said a charge of felony murder could be added if the case goes to trial. Felony murder carries a mandatory sentence of life in prison without parole upon conviction.
Brown's attorney Scott Pederson and Evans told the judge they hope to continue negotiations with the prosecutor's office in order to reach an agreement.
Outside the courtroom, relatives of the suspects and the shooting victim hugged and told each other they were sorry for the others' loss.
"I'm so sorry for what has happened," said Heath's uncle Michael Cox who wiped away tears. "I'm just so glad (Heath) didn't pull the trigger."
Rick Emory, Bockheim's uncle, said it makes things easier if everyone gets along.
"Nobody wins here," said Emery pointing out that both families were damaged as a result of the shooting.
Related: Michael Bocheim was the father of two young children.
Brown remains in the Kent County Jail on a $2 million bond while Heath is listed as being in the Ottawa County Jail on a $250,000 bond.

on June 10, 2013 - 9:07 PM
About three dozen people, all clad in hooded sweatshirts, marched down Bailey Avenue on Monday afternoon, holding signs and chanting on the day jury selection began for the second-degree murder trial of George Zimmerman, the Florida man who killed teenager Trayvon Martin last year.
Drivers showed approval by honking their horns at the marchers' signs, which bore slogans such as "Stop Profiling Youth" and "United Against Racism." The rally was part of National Hoodie Day, an event activists around the country organized to coincide with the start of the Zimmerman trial and to call attention to racial profiling and other problems affecting urban youth in the United States.
The demonstration began at Winspear Avenue and proceeded on Bailey to Langfield Drive, where the marchers assembled in front of the Buffalo Police Department's E District station and spoke out against racial profiling.
"This is what needs to be happening in Buffalo regularly," said Morgan Dunbar of Amherst, who organized the local rally. "We need to have a presence on these streets regularly to show support and solidarity for what other people are going through, not just in our little silos, in our homes away from the racial profiling."
Zimmerman – a multiracial Hispanic American who was a neighborhood watch coordinator in a gated Sanford, Fla., community – shot Trayvon Feb. 26, 2012, and told police that Trayvon had attacked him and that he was only defending himself.
Since police later said there was no indication that Trayvon, a black male, was involved in criminal activity, thousands across the country accused Zimmerman of racially profiling Trayvon and demanded he be tried for murder. Trayvon was wearing a hooded sweatshirt when Zimmerman encountered him, and "hoodies" have since become a symbol for racial injustice across the country.
Dunbar organized Monday's event through Save the Kids, a national movement that aims to prevent the incarceration of young people. She started a Buffalo chapter this year.
Other activist and community groups took part in the march, as well. Shenita McLean was representing Fight the Power, a Pan-African organization of students at the University at Buffalo, at the rally. She is from Buffalo's East Side and is pursuing a Ph.D. in physical anthropology. She said she has felt like a victim of racial profiling, particularly in suburban areas.
"These crimes still occur, and one of the biggest problems that we have is that people don't discuss them. There's no discourse," McLean said, adding that she hoped the march would show East Side residents that they can speak up if they feel something is unjust.
Another East Side resident who marched Monday was Paulette Chatman, a spokeswoman for Teens in Progress, a group of neighborhood kids aged 13 to 21 that support positive lifestyles for each other. Nigel McClinton, one of Chatman's three sons, is the president of the organization.
She wants the public to know that her sons and their friends defy the negative stereotypes often associated with urban youth.
"They don't want to be profiled as being the kids that's out there doing all the violence and killing each other," Chatman said.

Mechanical rabbit
Museum no. B.117-1996
The body of the rabbit is made of lithographed tin plate and has an internal clockwork mechanism. The ears are white plastic and the legs are painted metal. The rabbit's dark pink eyes are loosely attached inside the head so that when the toy is wound and the rabbit hops, the eyes wobble. It was made in China probably for the local market rather than for export.

The New York Rangers (29-19-3) defeated the Washington Capitals (27-14-9) by the score of 2-1 in a shootout, tonight. For a recap and box score go to Yahoo! Sports and newyorkrangers.com.
…i know I say it all the time, but you can never, ever count this team out. It looked like Holtby was on his way to one of the easiest shutouts in NHL history then boom an ugly goal and away they go. I can't over-emphasize how impressed I am with how Torts has been able to get this group to buy into what he's selling no matter who's in the line-up. Unreal.
…lots of people, including myself, questioning Torts going with Biron tonight. Remind me to never do that again.
…i know after each of Gaborik's two hat tricks and his four goal game we wondered if they would get him going, but maybe it's a flukey goal like tonight's that snaps him out of it.
…watching someone play defense normally isn't the most exciting thing in the world, but I can watch Staal defend Ovechkin all day long.
…just absolutely ridiculous moves in the shootout by both Wolski and MZA. Speaking of MZA, not sure if anyone saw the Versus post game but he totally name dropped Avery's Bar "Warren 77" in his interview. I think he'll drink for free tonight.
…good for Sauer getting the assignment of Staal's running mate tonight. Did not look out of place at all.
…thought Del Zotto had an uneven game. Out of position on a number plays, but I also thought he used the poke check very effectively to break up some scoring chances.
…didn't the Rangers called up Grachev for the game? 😉
…Prust is an absolute stud. The guy is a game time decision with numerous injuries and he's out there giving 110%.
…couple of quick negatives: continued struggles of pp and faceoffs and absolutely no traffic in front of the Capitals goal. Only time someone was in front was Gaborik on his goal.
…right back at it tomorrow night against Panthers at MSG.

About Psychologists
Psychologists help people by using a variety of orientations and techniques and take into consideration each person's history, issues, and goals to achieve a successful outcome. New Jersey requires degrees to come from programs accredited by a regional accrediting organization recognized by the US Department of Education, such as the American Psychological Association. Only school psychologists require a Master's Degree from a regionally accredited school. Other than this exception, psychologists earn a doctoral degree (either a PhD, PsyD, or EdD) that is one of the highest levels of education for health care professionals. In order to obtain experience working with patients, New Jersey requires at least 2 years (3,500 hours) of supervised practice before obtaining a license. After earning their degree and acquiring the necessary supervised hours, one must pass the Examination for Professional Practice in Psychology in order to become licensed. A mental health provider cannot refer to themselves as a psychologist unless all these conditions have been met.

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) - Bob Knight is coming to town today, and it shows.
The game between his Texas Tech Red Raiders and No. 5 Oklahoma is a sellout - last year, there were about 2,000 empty seats when Tech visited.
And there have been far more media credentials issued than there were issued when Oklahoma played then-No. 2 Maryland in December.
Knight has proven to be a huge draw. Texas Tech has drawn near capacity crowds everywhere it has played this season.
"It's great for the league," Sooners' coach Kelvin Sampson said. "It may be the best thing that's happened to the Big 12 since I've been here."
But those who attend today's game, Sampson said, will find out that Knight isn't the only attraction. He's also got a pretty good basketball team.
Texas Tech is 13-1 overall, 2-0 in the Big 12 after winning at Texas A&M on Wednesday night. The Red Raiders have won 10 straight, their longest winning streak since the 1995-96 season when they went 30-2.
The Raiders are led by center Andy Ellis, who averages 18 points and 7.6 rebounds per game. Guard Andre Emmett is scoring 17 points per game and forward Kasib Powell 15 per game.
"I think the thing that makes Texas Tech so dangerous is they can score at all five positions," Sampson said. "They're solid, and solid to me is a good compliment. By that I mean there's nothing that they don't do good.
"They're not great at a lot of things, but boy they're good at everything, and that makes them hard to play against."
The same can be said for Oklahoma (12-1, 1-0), which won its 11th in a row Monday night, 69-67 on the road against Connecticut.
The Sooners have four players with double-figure scoring averages. Guard Hollis Price leads the way with 16.7 points per game, but guard Ebi Ere is just a notch below that at 16.2.
Forward Aaron McGhee is averaging 13 points per game and center Jabahri Brown has 60 rebounds in his seven games since becoming eligible in mid-December.
Sampson seems proudest of his team's rebounding. The Sooners had a 45-32 edge on the boards against Connecticut, including 28-12 at the offensive end.
"For us, our athleticism is good - outstanding, actually - but our kids are relentless," Sampson said.
"Our kids have developed a toughness about them where they have great trust in each other. That's unusual for a team that has so many new guys," he said. "But we're an evolving team. We're a team that's still going to get better."
As a graduate assistant coach at Michigan State, Sampson said he would occasionally watch visiting teams practice and enjoyed watching Indiana under Knight. Instead of loading the practice with drills, Sampson said, Knight spent much of the time talking and teaching.
That teaching is evident on the court, he said.
"I've coached against coach Knight three times now, and I want to tell you, they take your stuff away," Sampson said. "They force you to beat 'em, and I think that's the mark of a good team. They're not going to beat themselves. It's an honor for me to coach against him."

Winter injury
Winter injury is again evident across much of southern Minnesota, more so than occurs in most years. Conifer discoloration, scattered dieback in hardwood branches and late leaf emergence in some hardwood tree species have been observed. Mortality of fall planted and fall transplanted trees was also observed. Events that contribute to loss of moisture in plant material and/ or freezing of plant tissues will result in winter injury. This might occur in times when the weather conditions are mild enough for plants to loose water from leaves without the ability to replace it from the soil.
A visit to the Climatology Working Group home page, Climate Journal,, for a review of weather history will lead you to several conditions that could have contributed to the recent winter injury. Below is a sampling of that content.
- An uncommon dry spell occurred from November 2002 through March 2003. This was among the driest five-month periods in Minnesota's climate history!
- Warm temperatures on January 7th and 8th. High pressure and an unusual lack of snow cover contributed to a very warm January thaw. The warmest January 7th temperature found in Minnesota was 60 degrees at Fairmont. This 60 degrees is the warmest temperature ever recorded on January 7th in the state and the earliest 60-degree temperature ever recorded in January.
- Record warm temperatures occurred on March 15-16. After a prolonged period of cold for the first half of March, the weather warmed up with southerly breezes that rapidly ate away at the snow pack over Minnesota. The mercury cracked 70 in a few places in southern Minnesota. Waseca reached 73 on the 15th and Preston reached 73 on the 16th.
- All of the above on top of the deepest frost recorded in a decade.

Cooler maintains proper operating temperature.
Acquiring cheap, moving video was impossible in a vacuum environment, due to camera overheating. This overheating is brought on by the lack of cooling media in vacuum. A water-jacketed camera cooler enclosure machined and assembled from copper plate and tube has been developed.
During initial testing of the demonstration unit, the camera cooler kept the CPU (central processing unit) of this video camera at operating temperature. This development allowed video recording of an in-progress test, within a vacuum environment.

EcommerceBytes-Update, Number 323 - November 18, 2012 - ISSN 1528-6703 3 of 6
A few years ago, I did a story on EcommerceBytes about a new Facebook feature called a "kiosk" that enabled a jewelry seller to set up a store on the social networking site. That was long before Facebook went public. Now, a variety of ecommerce service providers, including Volusion and Ecwid, also enable their clients to set up Facebook stores. You can buy gifts for your Facebook friends on the site and even pay for promoted posts.
These days, the relatively "new kid on the block" in the social networking world is Pinterest, the photo sharing site. Pinterest is great for collecting, presenting, and arranging images. It might not seem like you can sell directly on a Pinterest, but Jason Miles has found a way to do it. He thinks the company he works for as a marketer, Liberty Jane Clothing, based in the Seattle, Washington area, is the only one selling on Pinterest.
"I'm not sure if I'm a pioneer, but I do think Pinterest can move toward a more integrated sales system that will permit ecommerce activities," says Miles. As he explains, it's technically possible to sell items on Pinterest with just a few mouse clicks. He used the Oronjo shopping cart software to set up a shopping experience on one of the Liberty Jane Clothing Pinterest pages. Each of the product listings on the page takes visitors to a checkout page where they can pay with PayPal.
However, although eight items have been downloaded for free using the system, no one has actually paid for one of the doll clothing patterns offered by Liberty Jane to date. Miles says that's only because it's not what people expect when they're on Pinterest. "It is technically possible to sell digital goods via Pinterest with just a few clicks, but it is not people's expected user experience," he says.
Miles has published instructions on how to sell on Pinterest on this Pinterest page and is co-author of "Pinterest Power: Market Your Business, Sell Your Product, and Build Your Brand on the World's Hottest Social Network."
Whether or not an ecommerce seller is interested in selling on a new venue such as Pinterest, the site can bring plenty of benefits. He offers the following tips to entrepreneurs who want to take full advantage of the site:
Liberty Jane Patterns says it has the largest collection of doll clothing patterns on the Internet. In October 2012, the site will have had 200,000 of its patterns downloaded. In a given month 6-7,000 patterns are downloaded from its website (LibertyJanePatterns.com). Each spring and fall the company releases new designs and sells them at auction on eBay.
Pinterest just one part of a social marketing strategy, Miles adds. He passes along the following additional tips for driving traffic to your business:
An ecosystem, Miles explains, gives dedicated customers multiple ways to get involved in it and for the various customers that might be inside your unique niche.
"For example, for our customers, we give thousands of digital patterns away for free - for those who are focused on free merchandise," he explains. "We sell patterns from $3.99 to $11.99 for people who want a larger variety of options. We also publish patterns on our site for over 20+ designers who want to sell patterns in this niche."
The website has over 1,000 sew-from-home seamstresses who sew and sell items made from Liberty Jane Patterns and sell on Etsy, eBay and at local craft fairs for a variety of prices. The crafters sell the items under their own label, but give Liberty Jane "credit" in their listings.
For those who don't want to sew their own patterns, the company also sells clothes under the Liberty Jane Clothing label at a relatively high price point. Original designs are auctioned on eBay with final bid prices going for as much as $335. As Miles summarizes, "It all works together to create a complete customer experience."

Rhee insults Philadelphia teachers
Michelle Rhee's assertion in Thursday's commentary ("We're firing our best teachers") is erroneous, irresponsible, and insulting.
With no facts about the Philadelphia School District's disruptive and unnecessary layoff of 1,522 teachers (all but 320 of whom have been rehired), or knowledge of the district's rigorous evaluation and professional development programs, Rhee asserts that effective teachers were let go and ineffective ones retained.
This isn't surprising from a former District of Columbia superintendent who believed she could fire her way to better teaching and learning. Her philosophy of staffing is disruptive to students and wastes more than $7 billion a year nationwide on a revolving-door hiring process that defies years of research showing that, with adequate support, teachers become more effective over time.

Email and web browsing never caught on with grandma, so I repossessed
the Gateway Solo 1100 laptop that we got her in 2000. (Despite being 8
years old, it was still in the box! It has a Celeron processor, 64MB
of RAM and a 5GB hard drive.)
I tried to install Debian (debian-40r3-i386-netinst.iso). It seemed
to be going fine (in "low memory mode") but during "Load Installer
Components from CD" the installation stalled trying to retrieve zliblg-
udeb. I was not able to get passed this point.
There's nothing wrong with the disk, since I used it next to install
Debian on my Dell Dimension 4100 (Pentium III, 394 MB RAM, and 20 GB
Is 64 MB just not enough RAM? I would be grateful for any thoughts
any of you might have about this.
Thanks & Best Regards,

Welcome to the ATM Seminar website
Since 1997 the Federal Aviation Administration and the EUROCONTROL have jointly organized an international seminar series for air traffic management research and development. These conferences are held biannually, alternating between Europe and the USA, and have become the top event for ATM researchers.
The ATM R&D Seminars are particularly important in view of the need to agree and develop solutions that are globally relevant, encompassing SESAR, NextGen and other international programmes. They create and reinforce relationships between leading experts and researchers in the ATM R&D community, showcase research results and encourage discussion and consensus on major issues.
There have so far been ten USA-Europe ATM R&D Seminars and the resulting archive of approximately 750 peer-reviewed papers and presentations, available through this web site, represents one of the most valuable and widely-used records of ATM research available.
Air Traffic Management (ATM) is defined in the ICAO ATM Global Concept document as "the dynamic, integrated management of air traffic and airspace - safely, economically, and efficiently - through the provision of facilities and seamless services in collaboration with all parties". ATM therefore encompasses airspace organization and management, flow and capacity management and en-route, terminal and airport air traffic control.
Upcoming Seminar
The 12th USA-Europe Seminar will take place in 2017 in Seattle, WA, USA. Watch this space for the Call for Papers which will be issued September 2016. Meanwhile all papers and most presentations from previous seminars are available through the Past Seminars links.
You may also wish to check out the ICRAT website at www.icrat.org for news of the 2016 event to take place in Philadelphia, PA.

Stopping Crime in Real Time
By Joseph D'Amico, Deputy Chief, Commanding Officer of the Real Time Crime Center, New York City Police Department, New York
he ability to fight crime in real time-that is the vision of New York City Police Department (NYPD) Commissioner Raymond Kelly. Beginning his second term as police commissioner in 2002, Kelly knew that properly implemented technology could reduce police officers' reliance on paper reports and non-integrated databases to identify crime patterns, thus allowing officers to focus on what they do best: solving crimes and apprehending criminals.
Such a grand vision demands a concrete strategy for execution, and for that Kelly named the NYPD's first chief information officer (CIO). Jim Onalfo,1 a recognized authority in private industry on information technology (IT), was recruited to oversee the entire project and ensure that tight deadlines were met. This multilayer, multiphase effort was choreographed by a team of experts-appointed by Commissioner Kelly-who understand that technology combined with good old-fashioned police work can ultimately create a safer community. The result: the NYPD launched its $11 million Real Time Crime Center (RTCC) in July 2005.
Inside the RTCC The scope of information available to the police officers relying on the RTCC is truly staggering. The system can comb through 120 million New York City criminal complaints, arrests, and 911 call records dating back a decade; five million criminal records and parole files maintained by the state of New York; and more than 31 million records of crime committed nationwide.
In addition, the RTCC has made it possible for officers to receive photographs of individuals via handheld devices; the technology to transmit the photographs to the police car laptops will soon become available. Recently, an officer was able to retrieve a suspect's photograph via a handheld device following a narcotics bust and tie the suspect to a murder in Virginia.
The RTCC has three key elements:
The RTCC puts a wealth of information at the fingertips of those who work there. To ensure data privacy, only NYPD employees who are screened by internal affairs have access to the information housed in the RTCC.
Data Warehouse For the data warehouse, the NYPD worked with IBM Global Services, whose consultants used IBM's WebSphere portal software to create a single front-end access point for some of the department's own homegrown applications and multiple data marts (large databases) running on IBM's DB2 Universal database.
The basic concept is a system that brings information together, freeing it from the different silos (squads, precincts, units, divisions, and departments) where the information is stored. It then uses a reconciliation engine to assemble the information in context for the user. The technology sits on top of existing systems and information repositories, pulling together the content in response to queries. Essentially, the reconciliation engine understands the semantics of information, not just the syntax.2 In other words, it understands the meaning and relationships, and is not just limited to the commands or search term.
Among the arsenal of software tools available to RTCC analysts is a custom-designed ReportNet application, based on the Cognos Series 7 business intelligence software product, which analyzes information and applies law enforcement intelligence based on complaints, summonses, and domestic violence incidents.
Queries can be run against MapInfo Corporation's satellite imaging software, which allows department personnel to quickly display information on a map, making it easy to identify patterns and trends. Layers on the map also provide a simple view of nearby landmarks and resources, such as hospitals, schools, and transit lines.
Satellite imaging and mapping technology enable a real-time picture of police resources throughout the city. This capability include tools such as the following:
The NYPD uses IBM's Omnifind 8.2 Advanced Text Search product to search against text versions of criminal complaints, letting RTCC staff analyze the material in a more intuitive way than had been possible with command-line searching.
For the NYPD, Dimension Data also developed a custom application-the modus operandi and pattern database-which allows the NYPD to search complaints to map and observe patterns that emerge from the total complaints over a period of time. This product greatly reduces the time necessary for this function, previously done by manually sifting reports. Information that in the past had been created and distributed via Microsoft Word documents and faxes is now centrally located in a repository that can be searched and mapped to precincts.
"The investigators have a host of tools at their disposal," says Sergeant Rick Perine, a 20-year NYPD veteran who not only knows a lot about being a police officer, but is also an extremely talented IT professional and the RTCC's project director. The integrated search capabilities enable what is known as a "federated search," in which the data sources mentioned earlier may be queried simultaneously. Whereas before police officers needed days and weeks to sift paper records and field reports to analyze the information and data, today the officers have instant access to computerized records that do this work for them.
Data Wall At the RTCC's core is a room with a two-story video wall composed of 18 connected Mitsubishi TV screen panels and 25 desks, manned by more than 40 detectives and crime analysts. The NYPD hosts its own data centers and uses a backup center to provide redundancy.
When an officer in the field calls in details of a new crime, RTCC experts use analytical software to examine data housed in the data marts to mine the department's collective information stores, looking for clues that will solve the crime or reveal broader patterns of criminal activity. Training people to work in the RTCC takes six to nine months because of the complex nature of the different tools.
The RTCC was recently expanded to include robberies, rapes, missing persons, and other serious crimes beyond homicides and shootings. New search capacities were also added to let users search on multiple keywords.
Another new feature uses graphical clues to help police officers make quick connections among a crime's various elements. These new search capabilities help the NYPD to better understand and identify crime patterns. Instead of investigating one crime, officers can now gather evidence regarding multiple, similar crimes that can be used to identify the person responsible. This technology ultimately helps the NYPD achieve a key goal: to curtail crimes before they become bigger, citywide trends.
For example, with this approach and the pattern database, the NYPD can identify groups of individuals involved in recent thefts, for example, or determine which items burglars or muggers most desire. Being able to run pieces of information about discrete crimes against a larger database means that the NYPD has a finger on the pulse of what is going on in a given crime segment.
What's Next? As the NYPD moves into its second phase, new projects are underway, including creating a recidivist database. Designed to put police officers on a more proactive footing to capture known criminals, the recidivist database will cull information from correctional facilities and courthouses (from which the NYPD is currently seeking permission for access) to create a data source that will store everything: an individual's physical description, the addresses the person has claimed over the years, and the criminals with whom he or she associates, among others. Software used in casinos for years-products that help pick up discrepancies between a person and the phone number or address he or she cites-will be deployed to help advance this data collection.
The NYPD is also working to extend its electronics records database from four to 10 years worth. Some information that it currently generates is not yet linked into the RTCC's data marts; for example, the NYPD still generates half a million records a year in paper form. When it can provide electronic records from 10 years ago, it can be even more thorough: a detective will be able to enter a query that will then crawl through 311 and 911 records, case management records, public databases, and so on.
ResultsMeanwhile, the NYPD has seen measurable results since the RTCC was opened. Approximately three-quarters of the homicides in New York City were solved in 2005, thanks to the tenacious work of NYPD police officers and detectives who, in many cases, were assisted by the technological support provided by the RTCC. In fact, the NYPD is currently attempting to tally the number of long-unsolved crimes about which the RTCC has been able to provide the critical piece of information that solved the case, including cold cases it has been able to resurrect and solve.
"The amount of time saved by officers, detectives, and analysts is tremendous," said David Petri, Dimension Data's pro-gram manager on the NYPD engagement.
"In the past, police personnel had to sift through a multitude of written reports. The RTCC has afforded great productivity gains due to easy access to information."
"Without Commissioner Kelly, the RTCC would never have been developed. Yes, it was his vision-but his role goes far beyond that," says Onalfo. "The commissioner meets with the core team twice a month, he sets the direction, and he signs off on any technology changes. In fact, he is very hands-on, working daily to ensure the RTCC is truly realizing its full potential."
The preliminary statistics indicate that it is doing just that. Under Commissioner Kelly's leadership, the NYPD will continue to implement more and more applications to help the department effectively and efficiently fight crime and close cases. His vision is finally becoming a reality, and the citizens of New York are safer because of it. ■
1 Before joining the NYPD, V. James Onalfo, had 30 years of Fortune 100 IT experience with corporations such as General Foods, Kraft Foods, and Philip Morris International. As NYPD deputy commissioner/CIO, Onalfo heads up the office of technology and systems development that includes the communications and the management information systems divisions. 2 This ability is newly developing in law enforcement and the business community. Only in the past five years have emerging technologies become sophisticated enough to gather information, crosscheck, and reconcile it. In the IT world, this concept is known as "business performance transformation service," and it delivers information in line and in context.Top

You say that you're haven't studied, researched (hands-on), or are qualified to speak on climatology, yet you get an op-ed piece printed. You ask if our world is warming. You go to the go-to people. You say that 30,000 American scientists signed a petition attacking the scientific conclusions underlying international efforts to control emissions yada yada yada. You go on to say that there are about 12,000,000 scientists in the U.S. and that these 30,000 represent just .0025% of all U.S. scientists. But, you offer no breakdown regarding the fields of study of the 12,000,000 or the 30,000. If all scientists are included, how many are really climatologists?


text: You clearly do not have kids.Comparing Adams with Trudeau, Clemens, Guthrie and the like is also suspect, because unlike them, Adams is not a radical critic of what he satirizes. -- StevenNewton Or perhaps it's just that Adams isn't Left enough for you. This suggests that one must be a radical critic to be able to effectively satirize something. I disagree. But based on Scott Adams' writing, I'd say he's certainly a critic of bad management, pointless meetings, etc. Besides, even though Dilbert may have that effect, Dilbert may alternatively have the effect of galvanizing oppressed employees by vocalizing their problems in expressive ways. Adams is forcing people to confront bad corporate practices, and I know I've certainly seen cases where people have said, "We don't want this to turn into a Dilbert situation." Dilbert has many effects, but at some point it becomes ChaosTheory. -- BrentNewhall AugustoBoal makes this same point about drama in TheaterOfTheOppressed?. By providing catharsis about bad feelings, the motivation to address the source of the bad feelings goes away. TOTO has gobs of great exercises that are theater, but lead to change instead of passivity. I saw a great example of this the other day. At the start of a planning session a bright guy stood up and ranted for five minutes about what sucky code we were writing and how much he hated it. Then, with that off his chest, for the next four hours he proceeded to give estimates that included no time for even the most basic refactoring. -- KentBeck

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Andria Richey said Monday that she would consider throwing out a $12 million lawsuit against Michael Jackson by his former financial adviser, Myung-Ho Lee, reports Reuters.
Lee is suing Jackson for breach of contract and fraud, claiming the star failed to pay his bills -- instead squandering his fortune on a parade of "charlatans," "hucksters," "sycophants" and "swindlers."
Jackson's lawyers claim Lee was not a licensed financial adviser in California and so could not have signed a valid contract with their client. Lee's lawsuit claims that Jackson is nearly bankrupt and a "ticking financial time bomb waiting to explode."
Jackson has countersued, alleging that Lee stole millions from him.
At the same hearing Monday, the judge said she would consider a request from news organizations to broadcast the bitter court fight should the case move forward. The next hearing is set for June 18.
Jackson's attorney Zia Modabber pressed the judge to ban cameras from the courtroom, citing the media circus that developed last November during the musician's testimony in a central California court case, Reuters reports. (A concert promoter sued Jackson, 44, for reneging on a series of millennium concerts.)
"The vast majority of the press in that case had to do with what his face looked like and how he acted when he walked through the door," Modabber said. "He has to come in here and endure what really no one else does by virtue of who he is."
But Kelli Sager, an attorney for CourtTV, argued that Jackson (who was not in court Monday) had no right to "veto" public access to a court case simply because he was unhappy with past reporting.
Judge May Toss Out $12 Mil Jackson Case

Finding a Forex Broker in Canada
There are many different forex brokers out there.
Some are really good and reputable. Others are shady and need to be avoided.
There are certainly a good number of reputable online forex brokers currently operating in Canada that deserve your business. The broker that I have listed below actually has physical presence in Canada and is a regulated forex broker. This is an important distinction to make, as there are many unregulated forex brokers out there who will accept Canadian clients.
The broker that I have listed below is a member of the CIPF (Canadian Investor Protection Fund, which means that your account will be protected up to $1 million.
In addition, Questrade is a member of the IIROC (Regulatory Organization of Canada).
Questrade.com offers practically everything under one roof - the ability to trade stocks, options and, most importantly, forex.
As per usual with forex brokers, Questrade doesn't charge commissions - instead, they charge a spread between the bid and ask.
One more note about Questrade - their head office is located in Toronto, Ontario.
Click Here to Open an Account with Questrade
When choosing your forex broker, take your time, do your research and don't be afraid to give them a call if you have any questions.
Any forex broker that doesn't take the time to answer your questions doesn't deserve your business.
Important Note: Regulations can change - please make sure to fully research current rules regarding forex brokers in your country before signing up for an account. Also, do your own research before signing up at any brokerage, as I am not a financial professional.

CNR Rao
From Indian Science Information
Chintamani Nagesa Ramachandra Rao, also known as C.N.R. Rao (Kannada: ಚಿಂತಾಮಣಿ ನಾಗೇಶ ರಾಮಚಂದ್ರ ರಾಯ (Ciṃtāmaṇi Nāgēśa Rāmacaṃdra Rāva)) (born 30 June 1934, Bangalore, India) is an Indian chemist who has worked mainly in solid-state and structural chemistry.
Rao obtained his bachelors degree from Mysore University in 1951, obtaining a masters from Banaras Hindu University two years later, and obtained his PhD in 1958 from Purdue University. He served as a faculty member in the department of Chemistry at the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur from 1963 to 1976 and as the director of the Indian Institute of Science from 1984 to 1994. He has also been a visiting professor at Purdue, the University of Oxford, the University of Cambridge and University of California, Santa Barbara. He is the founding President of the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research.
Rao is currently the National Research Professor and Linus Pauling Research Professor and Honorary President of the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research in Bangalore, India [1] . He was appointed Chair of the Scientific Advisory Council to the Indian Prime Minister in January 2005, a position which he had occupied earlier during 1985-89. He is also the director of the International Centre for Materials Science (ICMS).
Rao is one of the world's foremost solid state and materials chemists. He has contributed to the development of the field over five decades. His work on transition metal oxides has led to basic understanding of novel phenomena and the relationship between materials properties and the structural chemistry of these materials.
Rao serves on the board of the Science Initiative Group.
He was awarded the Hughes Medal by the Royal Society in 2000, and he became the first recipient of the India Science Award, instituted by the Government of India, for his contributions to solid state chemistry and materials science, awarded in 2004.
He has won several international prizes and is a member of many of the world's scientific associations, including the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the Royal Society (London; FRS, 1982), French Academy, Japanese Academy and the Pontifical Academy.
He was awarded Dan David Prize in 2005, by the Dan David Foundation, Tel Aviv University, which he shared with George Whitesides and Robert Langer. In 2005, he was conferred the title Chevalier de la Légion d'honneur (Knight of the Legion of Honour) by France, awarded by the French Government. He had also been given the honours Padma Shri and Padma Vibhushan by the Indian Government and Karnataka Ratna by the Karnataka state government. He is a foreign fellow of Bangladesh Academy of Sciences. He was also awarded an honorary Doctor of Science by the University of Calcutta in 2004.
Rao was one of the earliest to synthesize two-dimensional oxide materials such as La2CuO4. His work has led to a systematic study of compositionally controlled metal-insulator transitions. Such studies have had a profound impact in application fields such as colossal magneto resistance and high temperature superconductivity. Oxide semiconductors have unusual promise. He has made immense contributions to nanomaterials over the last two decades, besides his work on hybrid materials. He is the author of around 1500 research papers. He has authored and edited 42 books.
Currently Prof CNR Rao is working on the advanced materials and nanomaterials including fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, metaloxide tubes and wires.[2]

Yorkshire Building Society has a new Christmas Saver savings account with a fixed interest rate of 3.50% gross/AER.
The new savings account is aimed at helping people spread the cost of next year's festive season.
The account can be opened with a minimum of £10 and savers can put away any amount up to £100 every month between now and 30th November 2011 when the account matures.
The money can then be accessed from the 1st December 2011 – just in time to buy the Christmas presents or get the food for the festivities.
Once the account hit maturity the funds transfer into an Access Saver account – as with all savings accounts it's important to check the small print on interest rates so that you know exactly what interest rate you will be getting and what happens at the end of any fixed term.
A maximum of £1,200 can be invested over the account period and deposits can be made by standing order, cash or cheque.
Sarah Lawrence, Senior Product Manager for savings at the Society says: "There's no better time than the present to start thinking about putting a little aside to ease the financial burden during next year's festive season.
With Yorkshire's Christmas Saver account our members can be assured their money will be working hard throughout the year as well as being safe and secure until it's time to hit the shops!"
You can see the Yorkshire Building Society website to find your nearest branch.
The Christmas Saver account is also available at all Chelsea and Barnsley building society branches, featuring the same product details and also paying 3.50% gross/AER.

Dave Chappelle recently hit Minneapolis, Minnesota, for a week of performances, and capped his stay with a charity event at which he played basketball with fans and served them pancakes.
The second season of Chappelle's Show featured a skit by Charlie Murphy, Eddie Murphy's brother, in which he recounted a story of being challenged to a late-night game of basketball by Prince. Prince and his "crew" easily beat Murphy and his friends, and later served them pancakes. (Chappelle played Prince in the skit.)
Chappelle described the impact of Prince's iconic film Purple Rain on his life in a rare interview, noting that he felt he should perform at First Avenue, the setting for so many scenes in the film, when he came to Minneapolis.
After his performances, Chappelle took part in a charitable event at Minneapolis's Target Center, where fans purchased tickets for a chance to shoot basketball with him. The money raised benefits the Minnesota Timberwolves' Fast Break Foundation, which is the team's youth outreach program. Afterward – appropriately – he served everyone pancakes.
Prince wasn't present, but did donate to the event. "Prince was very charitable tonight," Chappelle said.
For his contributions, Chappelle was awarded a star on the First Avenue wall. "I looked up and I saw that star that said Dave Chappelle. It was like getting the key to the city … I don't have no star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame or none of that, but I got that one in Minneapolis at First Avenue and that is all right with me, that's plenty."
