Sky beat Mystics 92-86
Courtesy of the Associated Press | 9/6/2009, 5:58 p.m.
CHICAGO (AP) -- Sylvia Fowles scored 13 points and Jia Perkins and Dominique Canty had 12 each to help the Chicago Sky beat the Washington Mystics 92-86 on Friday night for their franchise-record 15th victory of the season.
At 15-16 with three regular-season games left, the Sky and Mystics are tied for the fourth and final Eastern Conference playoff berth. Matee Ajavon led Washington with 32 points, and Crystal Langhorne had 23.
Langhorne's long jumper gave the Mystics an 85-84 lead with 38 seconds left, but Perkins scored off a rebound, and Tamera Young added two free throws in a 6-second span to give Chicago a three-point lead at 88-85. Fowles returned to the Sky after missing five games because of an ankle injury.
"(Fowles) is just so dominant offensively and defensively (with her) shot-blocking ability and her presence on the inside," Langhorne. "We didn't know she was going to play, but you never know about these things. You just have to be prepared."
Chicago broke the victory mark of 14 set in 2007. "Defense won it for us," Fowles said. "I'm happy that we stuck in there and duked it out."
Ajavon was 10 of 20 from the field, going 3 of 5 from 3-point range. "I was aggressive, trying to lift my team any way I could," Ajavon said. "Fortunately, the ball was going in tonight."

Hi fraggle and musicenthusiast,
welcome to my pages! If you found this site, I guess you are interested in Psytrance music somehow. This is no party calendar, festival guide, radio station or social network. If you are searching for this, have look into Links. I`m a Psychadelic Trance music lover (especially Progressive Psytrance) and this is the platform of my private "research". Never I have been convinced from this night sound concept, and in the meantime it is generally known that Katharsis leads into the opposite direction than intended. Dark Psy, Dark Metal, Dark Matter – leave me alone. Let there be light and serotonin for the damned!
What is it all about? It started in the year 2000 with a new release from Atmos called "Headcleaner" which has been one of the first albums of a remarkable development in the domain of Psytrance later called "Progressive Psytrance". This style really moves me until the present day, so that I`m convinced one should take a closer look at it. With "closer look" I mean to study this kind of music with the tools of musicology – musical analysis – to clearify e.g. what does the addition "progressive" really means (if there is a meaning) and what are the specifics of this kind of music.
While analysing each track, I will try to put my focus on the main (sound) elements, the form and other specialities, which make the piece for me outstanding. Of course I will try to find out something regarding the technical equipment, which has been used to produce the music.
Don`t be afraid. This won`t be a stiff scientific essay. Pure subjective opinions and comments are going to pave the way .
But first of all I will give a short overview regarding the roots of Psytrance. I don`t want to go too deep into the history of the Goa parties, scene and culture, because this part is already well documented.

Seemingly, the common reaction to deals like the one inked by Andy Sutton and Cam Barker is straight forward: the Oilers need defensive help, they're signing guys on short-term deals, and the dollars don't matter so why worry about them?
There's a very good reason to worry about them.
Jason Gregor
February 21 2012 01:01PM
The Oilers are 4-4-2 in their last ten. They've been good, bad, great and awful in the ten-game stretch, and with only Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Theo Peckham/Corey Potter out of the lineup this is the healthiest they've been all season. Unfortunately, their play lately hasn't shown much to make you believe that next year will be better. I know it has only been a short window of healthiness, and not having your #1 centre is a big void, but imagine this lineup with Nugent-Hopkins and without Ales Hemsky and will they be that much better?
If this team is going to improve it has to start within the NW, and especially against the despised Calgary Flames. The Flames have beaten the Oilers nine straight, and they've outscored them 37-19.
Since December 31st, 2008 the Flames are 18-2 v. the Oilers. The past 38 months of the Battle of Alberta (BOA) has been more one-sided than * The Battle of Omdurman. (pictured above)

Group forms to campaign against council wards
The Columbus Dispatch - June 27, 2012 03:03 PM
A group of neighborhood and area business leaders are speaking out against the proposal to change Columbus City Council to ward or district representation.
Dave Paul, a member of the Northland Community Council, said he is part of a newly formed Keep Columbus Strong coalition made up of community leaders that will "educate Columbus voters" on the cons of a ward-based city council.
The group has called a press conference for 3 p.m. today at City Hall.
On Monday the grassroots Columbus Coalition of Responsive Government hand delivered what it said was 31,000 signatures in support of changing council from seven at-large seats to an at-large/district representation mix. If the Franklin County Board of Elections certifies at least 19,164 of those signatures, the issue must appear on the November ballot.
Paul said he is urging Columbus voters to turn back such a change if it makes the ballot.

Defense Department CIO Teri Takai said on Feb. 20 that the Pentagon will look to replace legacy systems with more "militarily effective" technologies.
The Defense Department has outlined plans for a new approach to military use of electromagnetic spectrum, an increasingly precious resource subject to tug-of-war with the commercial world.
DOD officials described a strategy that will serve as the initial push to become more efficient in the use of spectrum while collaborating with industry to strike a balance between national security and economic interests competing for bandwidth.
"The release of the strategy is the first step," DOD CIO Teri Takai said in a Pentagon press briefing held Feb. 20, the day the strategy was issued. "It will be updated periodically to reflect lessons learned, the changing spectrum environment and our changing needs. This kicks off a multi-year effort to align existing processes and spur decisions over the future of key systems."
In the near term, Pentagon leaders will spend the next six months developing an implementation plan with a governance structure, roadmap and action plan that includes timelines and details for moving forward, Takai said. In the long term, DOD will look to replace legacy systems with more "militarily effective" and efficient technologies.
Officials in the press briefing said that it is too early to put a dollar figure on the strategy, which will unfold in coordination with other government agencies – chiefly the Federal Communications Commission and the National Telecommunications and Information Administration.
"If you look at where we are today, the objective is to be more proactive than reactive, to be followed with an implementation plan to build out" within the services, said Maj. Gen. Robert Wheeler, DOD deputy CIO for control, communications and computers and information infrastructure. "There are areas where we will save [and] others where will spend -- we have to work that out [from an] investment perspective."
The strategy comes as the military and the private sector vie for a limited amount of bandwidth. An increasing consumer demand for fast mobile capabilities, combined with growing requirements from troops in the theater, digital training and electronic warfare, means that the government needs a new way forward.
"These competing requirements for finite spectrum resources have changed the spectrum landscape, nationally and internationally, for the foreseeable future," the strategy states. "The demand for more and timely information at every echelon is driving an increase in DOD's need for spectrum. Increasingly lower echelons, including individual soldiers, require situational awareness information resulting in more spectrum-enabled network links. The growth in the complexity of modern military systems has similarly led to an increase in spectrum requirements."
Spectrum also is becoming more of a factor in DOD acquisition, the officials noted, as technologies evolve and inherently require more bandwidth. Takai pointed out that in five years, the spectrum picture will look significantly different than now.
"It's not a question how to utilize DOD's spectrum, but what are the opportunities to take advantage of spectrum currently owned and operated by industry, leveraging commercial technologies," she said. "Because of our long lead times ... it's important that we have a strategy that is thinking long-term. We cannot shift in a short-term frame -– we just have too much equipment and too much capability that has to be transitioned in a very thoughtful way so as not to impose a major burden on budgets and on taxpayers."

BIOS Setup
EVGA nForce 750i SLI FTW mainboard uses BIOS based on Phoenix-Award code. It is very similar to the BIOS we discussed in our ZOTAC nForce 790i-Supreme mainboard review. Only this BIOS has fewer features and is not as convenient at times.
First we have to check out Advanced BIOS Features section to check the processor technologies and the number of active CPU cores in the CPU Features sub-section.
Then there is a list of sections with very familiar names and functionality, which we will not dwell on here. After that we arrive to the PC Health Status page:
Pretty good functions. We can control two temperatures, a set of standard voltages including processor Vcore, FSB voltage and memory voltage, rotation speed of five fans out of six that can be connected to the board. You need to switch to Dynamic Fan Control page to be able to control fan rotation speeds.
Only three fans can be controlled automatically, and only two can have their rotation speed adjusted depending on the temperature. However, you can set fixed rotation speed for all of them if you like. Unfortunately, the fan of the processor cooler should have a four-pin connector, otherwise you will not be able to adjust its rotation speed.
So, little by little we got to Frequency/Voltage Control section. Here you can change processor clock frequency multiplier, frequency of the HyperTrasnport bus between the chipset North and South Bridges, save or load a limited set of parameters for CPU, memory or voltage settings.

Jevon is growing fast. Now almost 7.5 months and 8kgs, he is noticing more and more. We want him to interact with other kids and at some point he'll be in a playgroup. Ika tends to pander to him 24/7 and we noticed he is a bit shy with other people. The sooner he is in pre-school the better.
After that we have to decide where to put him. My friend who had a 7 year old daughter told me that in the Balinese school the kids will be friendly, but after Jevon tells the kids what he gets away with and they tell their parents, the parents will say 'stay away from that bule kid'. It happens to everyone. In the end campur (mixed) kids end up befriending each other.
The Balinese schools look pretty basic to me and the International schools turn the kids into little snobs. My friend recommended the Catholic school. I can't remember where it is but it close to Kuta, Tuban maybe.

With reference to an electrical system, noise may be defined as any unwanted form of energy which tends to interfere with proper reception and reproduction of wanted signal.
Noise is random, undesirable electrical energy that enters the communications system via the communicating medium and interferes with the transmitted message. However, some noise is also produced in the receiver.
Classification of Noise
Noise may be put into following two categories.
- External noises, i.e. noise whose sources are external.
External noise may be classified into the following three types:
- Atmospheric noises
- Extraterrestrial noises
- Man-made noises or industrial noises.
- Internal noise in communication, i.e. noises which get, generated within the receiver or communication system.
Internal noise may be put into the following four categories.
- Thermal noise or white noise or Johnson noise
- Shot noise.
- Transit time noise
- Miscellaneous internal noise.
External noise cannot be reduced except by changing the location of the receiver or the entire system. Internal noise on the other hand can be easily evaluated Mathematically and can be reduced to a great extent by proper design. As already said, because of the fact that internal noise can be reduced to a great extent, study of noise characteristics is a very important part of the communication engineering.
Explanation of External Noise
Atmospheric Noise
Atmospheric noise or static is caused by lighting discharges in thunderstorms and other natural electrical disturbances occurring in the atmosphere. These electrical impulses are random in nature. Hence the energy is spread over the complete frequency spectrum used for radio communication.
Atmospheric noise accordingly consists of spurious radio signals with components spread over a wide frequency range. These spurious radio waves constituting the noise get propagated over the earth in the same fashion as the desired radio waves of the same frequency. Accordingly at a given receiving point, the receiving antenna picks up not only the signal but also the static from all the thunderstorms, local or remote.
The field strength of atmospheric noise varies approximately inversely with the frequency. Thus large atmospheric noise is generated in low and medium frequency (broadcast) bands while very little noise is generated in the VHF and UHF bands. Further VHF and UHF components of noise are limited to the line-of-sight (less than about 80 Km) propagation. For these two-reasons, the atmospheric noise becomes less severe at Frequencies exceeding about 30 MHz.
Extraterrestrial Noise
There are numerous types of extraterrestrial noise or space noises depending on their sources. However, these may be put into following two subgroups.
- Solar noise
- Cosmic noise
Solar Noise
This is the electrical noise emanating from the sun. Under quite conditions, there is a steady radiation of noise from the sun. This results because sun is a large body at a very high temperature (exceeding 6000°C on the surface), and radiates electrical energy in the form of noise over a very wide frequency spectrum including the spectrum used for radio communication. The intensity produced by the sun varies with time. In fact, the sun has a repeating 11-Year noise cycle. During the peak of the cycle, the sun produces some amount of noise that causes tremendous radio signal interference, making many frequencies unusable for communications. During other years. the noise is at a minimum level.
Cosmic noise
Distant stars are also suns and have high temperatures. These stars, therefore, radiate noise in the same way as our sun. The noise received from these distant stars is thermal noise (or black body noise) and is distributing almost uniformly over the entire sky. We also receive noise from the center of our own galaxy (The Milky Way) from other distant galaxies and from other virtual point sources such as quasars and pulsars.
Man-Made Noise (Industrial Noise)
By man-made noise or industrial- noise is meant the electrical noise produced by such sources as automobiles and aircraft ignition, electrical motors and switch gears, leakage from high voltage lines, fluorescent lights, and numerous other heavy electrical machines. Such noises are produced by the arc discharge taking place during operation of these machines. Such man-made noise is most intensive in industrial and densely populated areas. Man-made noise in such areas far exceeds all other sources of noise in the frequency range extending from about 1 MHz to 600 MHz
Explanation of Internal Noise in communication
Thermal Noise
Conductors contain a large number of 'free" electrons and "ions" strongly bound by molecular forces. The ions vibrate randomly about their normal (average) positions, however, this vibration being a function of the temperature. Continuous collisions between the electrons and the vibrating ions take place. Thus there is a continuous transfer of energy between the ions and electrons. This is the source of resistance in a conductor. The movement of free electrons constitutes a current which is purely random in nature and over a long time averages zero. There is a random motion of the electrons which give rise to noise voltage called thermal noise.
Thus noise generated in any resistance due to random motion of electrons i5 called thermal noise or white or Johnson noise.
The analysis of thermal noise is based on the Kinetic theory. It shows that the temperature of particles is a way of expressing its internal kinetic energy. Thus "Temperature" of a body can be said to be equivalent to the statistical rms value of the velocity of motion of the particles in the body. At -273°C (or zero degree Kelvin) the kinetic energy of the particles of a body becomes zero .Thus we can relate the noise power generated by a resistor to be proportional to its absolute temperature. Noise power is also proportional to the bandwidth over which it is measured. From the above discussion we can write down.
Pn ∝ TB
Pn = KTB ------ (1)
Pn = Maximum noise power output of a resistor.
K = Boltzmann's constant = 1.38 x10-23 joules I Kelvin.
T = Absolute temperature.
B = Bandwidth over which noise is measured.
From equation (1), an equivalent circuit can be drawn as shown in below figure
From equation (2), we see that the square of the rms noise voltage is proportional to the absolute temperature of le resistor, the value of the resistor, and the bandwidth over which it is measured. En is quite independent of the Frequency.
R.F. amplifier is saving an input resistor of 8Kr and works in the frequency range of 12 to 15.5 MHz Calculate the rms noise voltage at the input to this amplifier at an ambient temperature of 17oC?
Shot Noise
The most common type of noise is referred to as shot noise which is produced by the random arrival of 'electrons or holes at the output element, at the plate in a tube, or at the collector or drain in a transistor. Shot noise is also produced by the random movement of electrons or holes across a PN junction. Even through current flow is established by external bias voltages, there will still be some random movement of electrons or holes due to discontinuities in the device. An example of such a discontinuity is the contact between the copper lead and the semiconductor materials. The interface between the two creates a discontinuity that causes random movement of the current carriers.
Transit Time Noise
Another kind of noise that occurs in transistors is called transit time noise.
Transit time is (he duration of time that it takes for a current carrier such as a hole or current to move from the input to the output.
The devices themselves are very tiny, so the distances involved are minimal. Yet the time it takes for the current carriers to move even a short distance is finite. At low frequencies this time is negligible. But when the frequency of operation is high and the signal being processed is the magnitude as the transit time, then problem can occur. The transit time shows up as a kind of random noise within the device, and this is directly proportional to the frequency of operation.
MISCELLANEOUS INTERNAL NOISES Flicker Noise
Flicker noise or modulation noise is the one appearing in transistors operating at low audio frequencies. Flicker noise is proportional to the emitter current and junction temperature. However, this noise is inversely proportional to the frequency. Hence it may be neglected at frequencies above about 500 Hz and it, Therefore, possess no serious problem.
Transistor Thermal Noise
Within the transistor, thermal noise is caused by the emitter, base and collector internal resistances. Out of these three regions, the base region contributes maximum thermal noise.
Partition Noise
Partition noise occurs whenever current has to divide between two or more paths, and results from the random fluctuations in the division. It would be expected, therefore, that a diode would be less noisy than a transistor (all other factors being equal) If the third electrode draws current (i.e.., the base current). It is for this reason that the inputs of microwave receivers are often taken directly to diode mixers.
Signal to Noise Ratio.
Noise is usually expressed as a power because the received signal is also expressed in terms of power. By Knowing the signal to noise powers the signal to noise ratio can be computed. Rather than express the signal to noise ratio as simply a number, you will usually see it expressed in terms of decibels.
A receiver has an input signal power of l.2µW. The noise power is 0.80µW. The signal to noise ratio is
Signal to Noise Ratio = 10 Log (1.2/0.8)
= 10 log 1.5
= 10 (0.176)
= 1.76 dB
Noise Figure
Noise Figure F is designed as the ratio of the signal-to-noise power at the input to the signal to noise power at the output.
The device under consideration can be the entire receiver or a single amplifier stage. The noise figure F also called the noise factor can be computed with the expression
F = Signal to Noise power Input/Signal to noise power output
You can express the noise figure as a number, more often you will see it expressed in decibels.

Dynamic Plaques - FVT Plaques
FVT Plaques is introducing new dynamic plaques to recognize police and sheriff's...
While Pierce County's elected prosecutor claims a decision by Arkansas authorities cleared the way for accused cop killer Maurice Clemmons' release from jail, Arkansas corrections officials say they issued a warrant in October that could have kept him confined.On parole for various felony convictions in Arkansas, Clemmons was briefly jailed in May after allegedly punching a police officer during an incident at his Parkland home. He was again booked into jail in July on a series of allegations, including that he'd raped a 12-year-old girl at his home.Clemmons' confinement was initially guaranteed by a no-bail warrant issued by the Arkansas Department of Community Corrections after he missed a Pierce County court date. That warrant was later dropped and Clemmons was released after posting bail on Nov. 23, days before he allegedly gunned down four Lakewood Police officers at a coffee shop.

Jennie Garth Shows Off Her Athletic Abs In Workout Gear
We spotted Jennie Garth walking her dog near her home in Los Angeles on Tuesday. The actress looks pretty fantastic for 40. She wore a bright green sports bra and navy sweat pants, showing off her slender, yet fit, frame.
The actress came under fire last month for looking too skinny following her split from husband Peter Facinelli. While she's still thin, Garth looks much healthier in these new photos.
The actress, who recently appeared in the reality show "Little Bit Country," hopes to land another scripted role. She and her former "Beverly Hills 90210" co-star Luke Perry are working together on a new TV project. The pals, who played lovers on the hit 90s show, are pitching a a multi-camera, half-hour show to TV executives.

Chris, I am an 88 year old man and I am trying to write a book relating to global warming but I have not been able to find out what the height and position of the pollution belt is. I am very concerned about the effect the pollution is having on the Earth. I need that information because of the two possible solutions I have for eliminating the pollution belt. The first is to fly space ships through the belt with collecter devises that would pick up the pollution. I need that information because I am not sure if the space ships could fly at that elevation. My second idea is to explode an atomic bomb in the pollution and the chain reaction would destroy the pollution. BUT I do not know the height of the belt and do not know if the radiation fall out from the bomb would contaminate the Earth. I would appreciate it if you could help me in any way to find that information.

The MSM Is Unfair — Get Over It.
It's true, as Mariel notes, that there's no conspiracy among MSM types, but that doesn't mean there isn't a bias — shared attitudes and values among a class that's rather politically and culturally homogenous. That bias has come out in some of the breathless pro-Obama coverage we've seen this year.
While Jonathan's right that some pundits have griped about Obama's shifting positions, that's different from the reporting about him, which has bordered on hagiography.
No, Bridget, McCain won't get fair treatment from the MSM. But then, presidential candidates who whine about the media — see Clinton, Bill and Hillary — remind me of sad-sap sports fans who complain about the referees. Life's not fair, get over it.
Presidential campaigns have an army of consultants and millions of dollars to get out their message. If McCain proves unable to do that, it will be nobody's fault but his own.
Did Bubba Go All Shaq on Obama?
On the way into work this morning, I heard reports on the radio that Bill Clinton had said Barack Obama would have to "kiss my ass" if he wanted the former president's help in the campaign. And immediately, all I could think of was Bill taking the place of Shaq up at the microphone in that infamous rap …
"Hillary can't do it without me; Hillary can't do it without me; Hillary can't do it without me. Hey Barack, tell me how my @$$ tastes … "
Alas, as they say, if a story is too good to be true, it usually is. Turns out the source was the British press — always a red flag. And if you read the story, it's a quote of an anonymous source quoting another anonymous source supposedly quoting Bill. Which is to say, this story ain't worth the paper it's printed on.
Still, the also anonymously sourced Clinton denial of the story has some comedic value. Bill's defense, reportedly, is that he doesn't talk that way.
Funny, that's not how Paula Jones remembers things …
Comings and Goings
Just wanted to welcome the Daily News editorial intern, Lina Chung. Lina is a junior at at UCLA, and she'll be with us all summer. Welcome!
And, with a heavy heart, I report that Bridget Johnson won't be with us much longer. Bridget is leaving Southern California to become an editorial board member/writer, columnist, and online opinion editor at Rocky Mountain News in Denver, Colo. Bon Voyage, Bridget — and good luck!
Guns & SCOTUS
What strikes me as amusing about the Supreme Court's split ruling on gun ownership — and the predictable responses to it — is this:
Why is that people who are convinced that the Constitution guarantees a right to abortion, despite its never mentioning the subject, are generally the same people who believe the Constitution doesn't protect a right to bear arms — even though it articulates one explicitly?
Shock fatigue
More than a decade ago, I used to listen to Imus in New York. He was no Howard Stern, and no racist, either. For the most part, his show featured long, thoughtful conversations with prominent newsmakers of all kinds — think NPR, but without the monotonic hosts and with a sense of humor.
But "Imus in the Morning" always had its edgy moments, too. What mass entertainment these days doesn't? This is the era of dehumanizing reality TV, of gangsta rap, of public "Scarface" swear-alongs; an age in which an insulting, God-trashing scold like George Carlin gets heralded as a comedic prophet.
Imus plays to his times, knowing that pushing the limits of good taste makes for boffo ratings. It's a dangerous game, because sometimes you get burned — especially, as Mariel notes, if you pick on the wrong groups.
Compared to the offenses of countless others, I'm not sure Imus is getting treated fairly, with demands that he make an offering, once again, at the altar of Al Sharpton. But I don't weep for him. America's love of "shock" has grown wearisome — and shock's purveyors make their millions at their own peril.
Immigration Opponents Who Hate Being Called Racists …
… are going to go bonkers over this video, courtesy of the Southern Poverty Law Center:
There's a lot of guilt by association here, a lot of innuendo, and a lot of circular logic: "Organization X claims to just be against immigration, but really, it's a hate group. Why? Because it's against immigration!"
That said, through all the smoke there are a few flashes of fire in here. Not, not all immigration restrictionists are racists, but their ranks certainly are populated by more than a few. (Just go read the comments box on any article dealing with immigration if you doubt it.)
Yet what's funniest about this video is the SPLC's repeatedly expressed surprise that people "of the left" or environmental extremists could come to hold rabid anti-immigration positions. Duh. Left-wing "population control" zealots and right-wing nativists are the two sides of the same misanthropic coin. Generally, the two hate each other too much for largely cultural reasons to come together, but occasionally you see signs of an alliance.
Both, ultimately, think there's just enough of "us," and far too many of "them" — and want government to do something about it.
OK, I know them's dangerous words to be saying in these parts, but if you read my latest column — A Celtics fan learns to love L.A. — you'll understand.
Terrorist Squirrels Attack LAX
This story from City News Service …
Travelers at LAX had more to deal with than long lines Monday morning: The air conditioning went out in "most of the terminals," said airport spokesman Marshall Lowe.
The air-conditioning problem stemmed from a "10-secound outage caused by a squirrel on one of our commercial lines that feeds the airport," said Joe Ramallo of the Dpeartment of Water and Power.

While I was doing reporting for this big story about GitHub, a side discussion came up with Scott Chacon, one of GitHub's founders and the tsar of their new office, known to GitHubbers as Office 3.0. As we talked about the architecture of the new space, a "blank slate" industrial building where GitHub will move next month, it became easy to draw an analogical connection to the architecture of good software.
Pattern Languages In Architecture And Software
This anecdote stuck out: One GitHubber suggested Chacon read a book called A Pattern Language: Towns, Buildings And Construction to help vet ideas for the space. Of course, the title will sound familiar to any front-end designers out there: Design "patterns" are commonly discussed in software as well as architecture.
Since everything at GitHub is done in the open, there were a lot of ideas to vet. Chacon has been managing feedback about Office 3.0 in—where else—a GitHub repo. Since most of GitHub's staffers are remote—about 70% of its employees are not located in San Francisco—the use cases for the office vary somewhat dramatically.
"I opened up a repository and emailed everybody saying: If you want to see something built, if you try to think about your daily life. Try to think about the time that you spend in the office—which is different whether you live in San Francisco and you use this for work, or whether you don't, and use it to visit," says Chacon. "Identify the problem-set [you face] when you're in the office and let me know what works well, and what doesn't work well."
But in the back of my mind, that book gnawed. Without much training in architecture, I was curious how town and city "pattern languages" could teach me more about interface design, something I think about constantly for Writebot, the collaborative platform I'm building with two friends (and which we use here at Fast Company internally.) I bought A Pattern Language: Towns, Buildings And Construction on Amazon for about $23 used and pored over it for useful advice for software architects. Here's what I found.
Think About Your App's "Circulation Realms"
Chapter 98 of this tome covers "circulation realms," which I'll loosely define as the ease with which people can navigate a huge campus of buildings—or in a web analogy, how easy it is for users to find their way around your site. The chapter opens with a pertinent warning on page 481:
In many modern building complexes the problem of disorientation is acute. People have no idea where they are, and they experience considerable mental stress as a result.
Anyone who has tried to adjust settings in Facebook will know this feeling well; having a non-obvious structure or organization to a space makes navigating feel like cognitive molasses. The real problem, according to the authors, is lack of adequate language to describe where you are. Imagine a first-time visitor to your building (or app, or website) the book says:
From your point of view, the building is easy to grasp if someone can explain the position of this address to you, in a way you can remember easily, and carry in your head while you are looking for it.
Imagine your mom asks you how you might change her preferences in a certain app. In a user-friendly space—let's use Mac OS as an example—it's easy. Navigate to the Apple menu, then select System Preferences. Now imagine explaining how to change privacy settings in Facebook. You'd have to write three paragraphs. The book continues on p.482:
To put this in its most pungent form: a person must be able to explain any given address within the building, to any other person, who does not know his way around, in one sentence.
This is not just crucial for new users, the book says, but for anyone who has to carry around a mental map of a space. The more complex and nuanced the map required, the more cognitive load the person experiences—even if he's been in the space for years.
If he spends a great deal of time looking out for landmarks, thinking about where to go next, then his time is entirely occupied, and leaves him little time for the process of reflection, tranquil contemplation, and thought.
What Are Your App's "Main Buildings?"
Here the book gives some advice that might sound familiar to anyone who has designed iOS apps, or other applications where extreme simplicity and parsimony are crucial to usability. The book is talking about "main buildings" in a complex of buildings—say, the Rotunda at the University of Virginia, my alma mater—the brain, the locus of activity for the community of users. But it could easily be talking about an app's "main task." From p.487:
For any collection of buildings, decide which building in the group houses the most essential function—which building is the soul of the group, as a human institution... [B]uild the marin part of it higher and more prominent than the rest, so that they eye goes immediately to the part which is most important.
Apps or sites which have flat, uniform navigation inevitably leave people wondering what they're supposed to be doing there. Apps that clearly call out the main task—for example, Instagram's front-and-center camera button—are much easier for people to gain expertise in. Once they know what the main task is, everything else can be explored in the context of ancillary features.
Public Spaces And "Pedestrian Streets" In Software Design
This section could easily be titled "why people prefer to do things in public." It's why countless closed, proprietary networks have lost out to the robust public-ness of Twitter. From p.489:
The simple social intercourse created when people rub shoulders in public is one of the most essential kinds of social "glue" in society.
Software spaces, like physical buildings, often have centralized "corridors" or gathering spaces where people rub shoulders. This can be a feed or group chat; another example is people commenting around a piece of comment. Too much privacy, the book argues, can make these spaces feel awkwardly intimate:
... It is therefore unpleasant, even unnerving, to move through them; people in them are in no state to generate, or benefit from, social intercourse.
The book suggests allowing people to move between private spaces via outdoor areas that re-create pedestrian streets, where all sorts of activity is permissible and visible. This should make software architects think twice about what appears on their "home" or "dashboard" screens—whatever the user considers to be the app's resting place. This is the place to house your most open social environment; closed feeds, groups, and person-to-person communications can branch off the central agora, but what people really want is a public space.
Coder Caves: GitHub's Homebrewed Architectural Pattern
GitHubbers also used the book for inspiration, says Chacon, coming up with ideas that ranged from "super academic discussions" to "we want to have dark, smaller spaces with sound dampening, so it's easy to concentrate."
Those dark, small spaces earned the nickname "coder caves." As Chacon describes the design: "It's this maze-like structure where there are all very smaller rooms, they're dark and there are small walls" to break up the space. "People can go in there and escape and have a quiet small space for themselves."
Chacon shopped the idea around with other GitHubbers. "I was going back and forth with design and sketches with different people in the company, would it look cool like this, or like this? Should it we use it for design? Should we lay them out? Should we be able to see each other?" After some consensus-building, the caves were framed out by the contractor. "They're built now—we can actually go through and walk through them," says Chacon.
Design patterns also helped Chacon figure out which ideas to reject. One that seemed particularly dangerous was any design that encouraged GitHubbers to spend too much time in the office.
"Beds—that was something that I specifically pushed back on," says Chacon. "We said, 'We're not a company that wants you to spend 18 hours at the office. We want you to go home. We don't want you to plan to sleep in the office. We want to make sure that you have a life outside of GitHub."

WASHINGTON, September 10, 2009 - President Barack Obama today announced his intent to nominate Harris Sherman as Under Secretary for Natural Resources and Environment at the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Sherman will serve with Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack.
"For decades, Harris Sherman has been dedicated to conserving and improving the environment in Colorado and beyond," said Vilsack. "It would be a privilege to have a public servant like Harris join the USDA leadership team to help carry out President Obama's vision for protecting the natural resources we need for a healthy and prosperous America."
The Natural Resources and Environment mission of USDA includes the U.S. Forest Service and the Natural Resources Conservation Service, which are the United States' primary public and private lands agencies charged with conserving, maintaining and improving natural resources. President Obama and Secretary Vilsack have charged this mission area with the restoration, conservation, and management of America's forests and private working lands in order to make them more resilient to climate change and ecologically sustainable for current and future generations.
Sherman is the Executive Director of the Colorado Department of Natural Resources and a member of Governor Ritter's Cabinet. As Director, he oversees Colorado's energy, water, wildlife, parks, forestry, and state lands programs. He also serves as the Director of Compact Negotiations for the Colorado Interbasin Compact Commission, Chairman of the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, and Co-chair of the Governor's Forest Health Advisory Council.
Sherman has also served on a wide variety of public and private agencies and organizations. He has been Chairman of the Colorado Water Quality Control Commission, Chair of the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board, and Chair of the Denver Regional Air Quality Council. He has served as a Commissioner of Mines, as a Commissioner of the Denver Water Board, and as a Trustee of Colorado College. For several decades, Sherman has been active in land conservation efforts with the Nature Conservancy, Colorado Open Lands, and the Trust for Public Land.
Sherman received his B.A. degree from Colorado College and his law degree from Columbia University Law School.
USDA is an equal opportunity provider, employer and lender. To file a complaint of discrimination, write: USDA, Director, Office of Civil Rights, 1400 Independence Avenue, SW, Washington, DC 20250-9410 or call (800) 795-3272 (voice), or (202) 720-6382 (TDD).

AURORA, COLO. — The psychiatrist who treated suspected movie-theater shooter James Holmes contacted a University of Colorado police officer to express concerns about Holmes' behavior several weeks before the rampage, ABC News reported, citing unnamed sources.
The sources did not know what the officer approached by Dr. Lynne Fenton did with the information she passed along, ABC said in a report late Monday on its website.
They said, however, that the officer recently was interviewed, with an attorney present, by the Aurora Police Department as part of the investigation of the July 20 shooting that left 12 people dead and 58 wounded.
Holmes, 24, was a doctoral student of neuroscience at the University of Colorado's Anschutz Medical Campus before turning in paperwork to drop out in June, the month before the shooting in an Aurora theater.
Under Colorado law, a psychiatrist can legally breach a pledge of confidentiality with a patient after becoming aware of a serious and imminent threat that the patient might cause harm to others, ABC said. Psychiatrists also can breach confidentiality if a court has ordered them to do so.
University spokeswoman Jacque Montgomery declined to comment on what, if anything, the university police officer might have done with information provided by Fenton.
Montgomery cited a court-issued gag order preventing her from confirming or denying any information related to Fenton or the shooting investigation.
Holmes was charged with 24 counts of first-degree murder and 116 counts of attempted murder in the shooting at a midnight screening of The Dark Knight Rises in a suburb of Denver.

In a national survey, fewer than half of the participants realized meat contaminated with fecal food-poisoning bacteria, such as Salmonella, can still legally be sold. Rather than producing safe products, the meat industry shifts the responsibility for safety onto the consumer.
Zero Tolerance to Acceptable Risk
The fish and poultry industries propose moving from a zero tolerance policy on certain dangerous foodborne pathogens to an "acceptable risk" policy—given how widely contaminated their products are with potentially deadly fecal bacteria.

Finding My Happy Place:
Helsinki is a magical wonderland. Everything is made of gumdrops and lollipops and anything that anyone would care about far exceeds the expectations of even the pickiest chap. Everyone is as beautiful as the architecture which is as beautiful as the landscape which is more beautiful than anything. I need to come back, everybody needs to come with me, and we need to stay a long time. We started the day with a four-hour bus tour of the city guided by a beautiful Fin named Mia. She was a fine arts/architecture student herself, so she had a lot of great knowledge and insight into the places we were seeing. We went through some of the older sectors, but also some new ones, which were very good to me. The amount of snow and ice here is comparable to the amount I trudged through in Saint Petersburg. It is great to see people ice skating and playing hockey all over the city, I wish I could have joined them. After the guided tour we had roughly 5 hours to explore on our own, so we quickly boarded a tram to the northern part of the city where Alvar Aalto's home/studio and office are. The neighborhood is full of gorgeous buildings seated nicely in the birch and pine covered hills overlooking the Baltic Sea. His home was inspiring and I took enough pictures to digitally reconstruct the masterpiece if I so desire. After Aalto we took another tram back to the city center and stopped at the Contemporary Art Museum by Stephen Holl (damn he has been busy). It wasn't a bad museum both in it's architecture and content, but it couldn't compare to the Aalto buildings and the ones surrounding them. Hot damn this city is a delight. I NEED MORE! We left Helsinki on a large, ice-breaking ferry to Tallinn across the frozen Baltic. It was challenging to figure out whether the chunks of ice were moving the boat or the boat was moving the chunks of ice. I think it was a little of both. It was eerie. I liked it.

Light heavyweight James Te-Huna got a brutal KO victory over Ricardo Romero on tonight's UFC 135 preliminary card, and it came in just 47 seconds.
For Romero, it's his second knockout loss in under a minute in a row, and he has been on the receiving end of many highlight-reel finishes MMA fans have been able to see this year from the best of the UFC's undercard fighters.
Spinning back fists, left hook, knees and other strikes all make up the best of 2011's preliminary card knockouts, and these are the top five.

Coterminal angles are angles that have their terminating rays in the exact same location. By definition, any two angles whose difference is some multiple of 360 degrees. In this lesson, Professor Burger will show you what coterminal angles look like, how to determine if two angles are coterminal using simple math and then he will review several examples of coterminal angles. He will also demonstrate visually how coterminal angles behave and why the definition is appropriate for these types of angles.
Taught by Professor Edward Burger, this lesson was selected from a broader, comprehensive course, Precalculus. This course and others are available from Thinkwell, Inc. The full course can be found at http://www.thinkwell.com/student/product/precalculus.

Angles and Radian Measure
Finding Coterminal Angles Page [1 of 1]
Okay, so co-terminal angles are just any two angles that basically land at the same spot in terms of where their
terminating ray is. So, for example, this is an angle right here, but we could have also gotten there by doing this.
Now, watch this. Spinning around and then going up there. Or we could have also gotten to this point by starting over
here and going backwards all the way to here. So, in fact those are all considered co-terminal angles. So, what's the
actual definition of a co-terminal angle? Well, this would be any two angles whose difference is some multiple of 360
degrees, because that would mean that I spun around some number of times but ended up in the exact same spot.
So, for example, let's just see if the following are co-terminal angles or not.
Suppose I have 360 degrees, and I want to see if that is co-terminal with zero degrees. Well, all I have to do is say,
"Is the difference a multiple of 360?" Well, plainly the answer is, yes, because 360 – 0 = 360, and that's a multiple of
360. So, what I'm observing here is that basically, the angle that starts and stops here is the exact same angle as if I
would have gone once around and then just stopped. It looks the same at the end. What about minus 570 versus
150? Well, let's see. All I have to do is take the difference, so I take minus 570 and subtract 150 and let's see what I
get. If I subtract, I would see –well, I see negative and negative, so I just am basically adding these things, which will
be more negative. So seven and five is two, and five, six and one, is seven. So I see minus 720. Now is that a
multiple of 360? And the answer is, it sure is, because that's just negative 2 times 360. So, it means these are, in
fact, co-terminal, which means that if you were to sweep out minus 570, what would that look like? Well, minus
means I'm going to go in a clockwise direction, 570. Well, that means I go once around, that's minus 360, and then I
have to keep going to get to 570. So I go sort of all the way up to here. But it turns out that's the exact same thing as
going just starting from here and going 150 this way. See, it's the same angle. So, those are co-terminal angles.
They end in the same spot. One last one. How about minus 800 compared to minus 80? Are those co-terminal or
not? Well, it's a subtract and see. So, what I do is I take minus 800 and I subtract off minus 80. So, that means I
have –800° + 80, and what does that equal? That equals minus 720 again. And we know that actually is a multiple of
360. So, in fact, these are co-terminal, which means that when I spin around here, where I land here is the same
place I'm going to land here. Now, different angles are measured. This is a huge angle with a negative sign in front.
This is a much more modest angle with a negative sign in front. So they're different angles but they land in the same
Well, we'll actually use this idea of coterminal angles, just the angles where in fact, it's sort of like a spinner. When
you spin around, if there's no memory of it, the question is, where do you land? Well, if I land there, that's the same
thing I would have gotten if I would have spun for a long, long time, and then finally land there. Those are co-terminal.
Their differences would have to be a multiple of 360. So, I just get rid of all the spinning and I see where I land. That
happens if they're co-terminal.

"President Bush, Will You Please Shut Up?"
Everyone else in the world knows that the unstable and corrupt Saakashvili, who proclaims democracy and runs a police state, would not have taken on Russia by attacking South Ossetia unless given the go-ahead by Washington.
The purpose of the Georgian attack on the Russian population of South Ossetia is twofold:
To convince Europeans that their action in delaying Georgia's NATO membership is the cause of "the Russian aggression" and that to save Georgia from conquest Georgia must be given NATO membership.
To ethnically cleanse South Ossetia of its Russian population. Two thousand Russian civilians were targeted and killed by the US-equipped and trained Georgian Army, and tens of thousands fled into Russia.
Apparently, the members of this administration felt that they don't have quite enough blood on their hands with the invasion and occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan, so they green-lit Georgia to move forward this little escapade.
And what is perhaps the most despicable part of this whole situation is that congress, plumped up financially with their defense department investments, has been the criminal enabler of a completely corrupt regime.
They refuse to impeach Bush and Cheney because no matter who wins or loses on the geopolitical stage (including our own vets who have been sickened and killed because of their exposure to depleted uranium weapons), congress members win!

Twins lose 3-1 to Royals to complete sweepAP , Associated Press

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — This was one difficult series for the Minnesota Twins, and it took a turn for the worse when Samuel Deduno was hampered by right shoulder soreness on Thursday.

4 of 4
Deduno left after three innings and Minnesota lost 3-1 to the Kansas City Royals, completing a three-game series sweep with its fifth consecutive loss.
Deduno (8-8) allowed three runs and four hits, struck out four and walked one. He had been bothered by biceps tendinitis, but he wanted to keep pitching. When he had trouble locating the ball against Kansas City, the Twins decided enough was enough.
He said he felt a little pain when trying to throw his fastball hard.
"I wanted to be aggressive. That's when I felt it," he said. "I wanted to keep pitching, but they told me they want to see what's wrong with my shoulder."
Deduno is scheduled for an MRI Friday. He said he wasn't sure if he'd make his next start.
The Royals outscored Minnesota 17-3 in the three-game set to finish the season series with a 15-4 record against their AL Central rival. Kansas City has won seven straight at Target Field.
"This was a nice series for us," manager Ned Yost said. "We did everything really well, we pitched well, swung the bats well, played solid defense."
Royals left-hander Bruce Chen (6-2) gave up one run and five hits in 5 2-3 innings, bouncing back from a pair of shaky starts. In his past two games, he allowed 13 runs in nine innings.
"I went back and tried to be more aggressive," Chen said. "I wanted to make sure I pound the strike zone."
The Twins hit just 15 for 91 (.165) in the series. Brian Dozier homered for Minnesota, which has totaled just six runs during its skid.
Minnesota is one game ahead of last-place Chicago in the division.
"It's a tough time of the year," said bench coach Terry Steinbach, who filled in when manager Ron Gardenhire was ejected in the second inning. "They don't call it the 'Dog Days of August' for nothing, and whether you're in first place or last place or somewhere in the middle, as players and as organizations and teams you've got to figure out a way to get through this stuff."
Justin Maxwell was hit by a pitch — the ninth batter plunked this season by Deduno — and both benches were warned by home plate umpire Alan Porter. Gardenhire came out to protest and was tossed for the fourth time this year.
"If anybody was watching the game today, Sammy didn't have his 'A' control today," Steinbach said. "So when the ball takes off like that and instantly right away they warn you, it's kind of frustrating."
Chris Getz, Alcides Escobar and Alex Gordon each had an RBI single in Kansas City's three-run second.
Dozier connected in the sixth for his 14th homer, tying him with Tim Teufel (1984) for most homers in a season by a Minnesota second baseman.
Already playing short-handed because outfielder Oswaldo Arcia was unavailable with a sore wrist, Minnesota lost right fielder Wilkin Ramirez in the fifth inning after he fouled a ball off his left shin. He was scheduled for an MRI later Thursday.
NOTES: Minnesota is one game ahead of last-place Chicago in the division. ... Minnesota C Joe Mauer, out since Aug. 20 with a concussion, said before the game that he is "feeling better," but is not close to returning. "It's not any fun watching, so hopefully I can get back there soon." ... Ervin Santana (8-7, 3.21 ERA) starts for Kansas City on Friday when the Royals open a three-game series in Toronto. Mark Buehrle (10-7, 4.08 ERA) is scheduled to start for the Blue Jays. ... Minnesota opens a weekend series at Texas Friday with Liam Hendriks (0-2, 6.20 ERA) scheduled to face the Rangers' Yu Darvish (12-5, 2.68 ERA).

What a whipping! But then again, that's what you expect when you are a middle-of-the-road MLS team like Bruce Arena's Los Angeles Galaxy.
They were thoroughly dismantled by Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid by a score of 5-1 on Thursday. The match was part of the 2012 Herbalife World Football Challenge and it took place at the Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif.
Real Madrid continue their preseason tour on Sunday against Santos Laguna in Las Vegas; the Galaxy resume MLS play against the Seattle Sounders.
Here are six things we learned from Thursday's woodshed treatment.

Situation in the Great Lakes region – Signing of a framework agreement for peace (February 24, 2013)
France welcomes the signing on February 24 in Addis Ababa of the framework agreement for peace, security and cooperation for the Democratic Republic of Congo and the region. This agreement was concluded under the auspices of the UN, the African Union, the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region and the Southern African Development Community, which will guarantee its implementation.
It notably calls on the authorities of the DRC to reform their security forces in order to reaffirm the state's authority in the east of the country, as well as to carry out basic institutional reforms. The countries of the region, for their part, pledge to respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of their neighbors.
We call on all signatory states to implement in good faith the commitments they have taken and to continue their dialogue aimed at finding a political solution to the crisis. The security and humanitarian situation in the east of the DRC remains fragile. Given the urgency of the situation, France calls for efforts to prevent the abuses and human rights violations committed against the civilian populations.
France thanks the UN Secretary-General for his good offices. It wants to see the swift appointment of a UN special envoy tasked with facilitating the implementation of the commitments made as part of this framework agreement. It also calls on the establishment of a response team as part of efforts to strengthen MONUSCO.
