Big Peace
Will Libya go the way of Egypt?
It is now fairly widely acknowledged that what was hoped for in Egypt after its "Arab spring" revolution began is increasingly unlikely to happen. Namely the emergence of a secular and democratic government which will bring stability, peace and prosperity to its nation. The rise of the Muslim Brotherhood wasn't unexpected to those who understood the dynamics of such revolutions. Nature abhors a vacuum. Power does as well. When the Mubarak regime fell, it created just such a power vacuum. And just as with nature, something was bound to fill that vacuum. In situations like the one in Egypt, that's usually the most organized and ruthless group available. Unsurprisingly, that group was the Muslim Brotherhood, and Egypt, like a good number of other states in the area, appears to be headed down the long road to Islamic fundamentalism where Islam and sharia dominate the culture with the usual results.
As Libya goes through the final throes of ousting a dictator, one has to ask what the dominant group might be to fill the power vacuum created there. We know the Transnational National Council (TNC) is that supposed vehicle for taking power. But who are they?
Claire Lopez at Big Peace does a little research and gives us an idea. First, she starts by reading the proposed constitution put forward by the TNC and points to the reality that document promises :
Part of that reality is actually on full display with the online posting of Libya's "Draft Constitutional Charter for the Transitional Stage. As the equally level-headed Dr. Andrew Bostom wrote in his 22 August 2011 posting, "the salient feature of Libya's new draft constitution is Part 1, Article 1: Islam is the Religion of the State, and the principal source of legislation is Islamic Jurisprudence (Sharia)." [emphasis added]
For those still unsure of what is actually happening in Libya, that Article, which places Islamic law (shariah) at the very top of the constitution, means that principles Jeffersonian republicans consider foundational to a democratic system—such as equality, individual freedom, pluralism, tolerance, minority protections, consent of the governed, natural rights/natural law derived through exercise of human reason, independent (secular) judiciary, and a vibrant free press—even if mentioned later in the draft text, have no real validity. It is what comes first and is stated explicitly in the constitution that carries the real weight. In Libya's case, that means Islamic law.
Among some that revelation will elicit the reply, "well we don't know that. We don't know that such a declaration will really have the effect that critics are claiming". Of course, you have to deny the reality in the vast majority of states in the Middle East where Islam is the state religion and sharia the legal system to say such a thing.
Secondly, Libya is a country with no real experience with western democracy, philosophy or ideals. For at least 40 years, individual rights have been trampled. "Natural law" consisted of Gaddafi dictating and the people obeying. The organs of such a hoped for revolutionary change simply don't exist in Libya. But what does exist is an organization of Islamists bent on taking power. What one has to realize is they believe what they are going to try to do is what is best for both the country and the people. And they have help:
Those taking over are no less a cause for concern: as Walid Phares points out in his insightful Fox News analysis of 23 August 2011, the Libyan TNC is a motley crew comprising "former diplomats, bureaucrats, and military officers from the old regime" as well as "politicians and leaders from movements and groups from the political left, Marxists, Socialists, Arab Nationalists, liberals and Islamists." As in Egypt and elsewhere across the region, however, it is the proponents of shariah who are the best organized and most determined to impose their agenda in the post-revolutionary milieu. Their push for power in Libya already is underway, openly supported by Yousuf al-Qaradawi and the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, and will accelerate from positions within the TNC as its grip on the country is consolidated.
Emphasis mine and an argument I've been making prominently since Egypt. There is nothing at all to indicate that it will be any different in Libya. What most in the West, who have a different take on the involvement of religion in everyday life means, is that Islam is woven into the very fabric of the life of most adherents and is more than something they do once a week. It is going to be interesting to see how NATO and the US handle this, but when all is said and done, I expect to see another "Islamic Republic" in place, mostly hostile to the West and Israel and with its people again under the boot heel of another form of dictatorship – this time religious in nature.

Big Peace launches
One of the reasons I'm highlighting this is I've been invited to write for the site and will be doing so.
It's Andrew Breitbart's latest website in his "Big" genre. Big Government, Big Hollywood, Big Journalism and now Big Peace. The focus will be on national security topics and it has an impressive collection of editors to include Peter Schweizer of the Hoover Institute, Frank Gaffney, founder and president of the Center for Security Policy and Jim Hanson of BlackFive.
It should be an interesting experience. And the 4th of July seemed to be an appropriate launch date – wouldn't you say?
I've also started contributing to the Washington Examiner (as has MichaelW) as a paid blogger (hey, the best kind, no) with opinion pieces and QandO blog reposts.
Anyway, that's the story – give Big Peace a chance.
Sorry, couldn't resist it.
Happy Independence Day – relatively speaking.

Through President James "Jimmy" Simmons tenure as band director, music professor, and dean of the College of Fine Arts and Communication, he brought pride to the Lamar University music program through "the Grandest Band in the Land" and the creation of Lamarissimo! He has also helped to kick-start many successful music careers, according to many of his friends, colleagues and former students.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

Don't you love this photo? Who doesn't want to be a fairy princess?
I grew up on a sheep ranch in southern Idaho. Often, my busy mother would shoo my sister and me outside to play. A heavy list of chores needed done without us around her feet complaining, "I'm bored."
Didn't take us long to come up with ways to entertain ourselves, especially through the summer months.
We pretended.
Some days, we imagined ourselves doctors in a busy hospital filled with patients (i.e. the lambing sheds and chicken coop). Or, we played farmer and used our dad's garden hose to irrigate our tiny dirt fields lined with rocks.
Occasionally, we donned our suits and sunglasses and swam in the cattle trough letting visions of palm trees dance in our minds. (PS – don't use Jergen's hand creme for tanning lotion unless you want a sunburn you'll not soon forget!)
My favorite game was Academy Awards. Glammed up in our mother's nightgowns and high heels, we'd march forward and accept Prell Shampoo bottles (our version of the coveted Oscar statue) and blow kisses to our adoring fans (the fence posts).
I'm often asked how I come up with stories for my novels. The easy answer is this: I go inside my head and pretend. I imagine being someone else and what I'd do, and how I'd feel if this or that happened.
I think most novelists would say the same. We're inspired by our imagination.
As a debut novelist, I admit to closing my eyes and pretending I'm a New York Times bestselling author. What would THAT be like?

On the weekend I tasted some 2010 Mansai Village.
The first two infusions tasted quite good and then it felt somehow week. And I missed this nice smell in the cup that I liked so much with the Nannuo.
But I have to admit that I didn't pay full attention to my tasting. So perhaps I simply have not been in the right mood for it.
Now I have some 2010 Manmai Village. Easy to mix up this two names
Nice first infusions. And the second one gave me a feeling in my belly I can't describe. Felt somehow strange but not unpleasant.
The smell of my cup is nice but only decent. But I still love it.
Had the fourth infusion now and it is pleasant. Will give me some more.
I will try the Mansai again on a better day. Now I'd put the Manmai far over the Mansai.
What do the Pu-specialists here say when will this two Pu-Erhs get to its peak or at least to a very good aged state?
I am very curious

Dealing with the bulliesPosted Monday, August 4, 2008, at 2:46 PM
The local school district has been diligently working to end bullying in local schools.
On August 25, district administrators will take this prevention to another level by offering anti-bullying training to the parents of school children. It is my belief that if everyone involved in a child's life is watching for signs of bullying and making efforts to put an end to it, we will see these types of acts drastically decrease.
Furthermore, if children are taught how to interact with each other without using bullying tactics, I believe, those mannerisms will stay with them as they mature into adults. How can this not cut down on the amount of domestic abuse that occurs everyday in homes throughout Bourbon County?
Something as simple as calling someone a name can have negative effects, lasting long into that person's adult life. How precious our children are, and what an amazing responsibility we have been charged with in their upbringing. Let us raise up a community of self-confident, respectful young adults. Putting an end to school-day bullying is just the beginning of accomplishing this task.

Clean Hooves Before Treating Thrush
- Oct 1, 2004
- Topics:
My 13-year-old Morgan has had very bad thrush for six years. The most recent treatment our vet recommended is soaking the feet in Epsom salts and packing them with iodine-soaked gauze. He's stalled when it's wet, and the stall is cleaned daily. We've tried this for about six weeks; as with the other treatments, we've seen little to no improvement. Do you know any other treatments or possible solutions? Katy
As you have discovered, there are many treatments that are supposed to clear up thrush, but don't. That's because there's a critical part of the treatment that most owners do not recognize: Cleaning up the affected area before you treat the problem. Here's a quote from Michael Wildenstein, American Farrier's Association, Certified Journeyman Farrier, resident farrier at Cornell University's large animal hospital: "Thrush is the most common bacterial infection (of the hoof); it reduces the protection by the insensitive frog. Thrush that invades the central sulcus of the frog can enter the digital cushion, causing inflammation of the sensitive tissue. Treatment of thrush includes daily cleaning of the infected area with a brush (stiff enough to scrape out the debris). Then, and only then, treat the area with a suitable antibiotic preparation.
"Currently I use the bovine mastitis preparations that are designed for dry-cow treatment." (Partly from Equine Medicine and Surgery, 5th ed., 1999, Mosby, Inc., p. 1428.)

Jesse Beal is starting tonight for the Baltimore Orioles. Before a shoulder injury essentially shut him down for two years, Jesse Beal was in the midst of a nice 2010. He has recently been throwing in the low nineties again. Buck says he has liked what he has seen. No, he is not in the hunt for the fifth spot.
Jesse gave up three runs.
Pearce hit a sac fly in the fifth, RBI double by Jones in the sixth and a Chris Davis run-scoring groundout.
Longoria hit a solo HR in the 6th off Tim Bascom.
Teagarden walked, Glynn Davis doubled. None away, Buck Britton at the plate. The ninth inning was going to be a great Oriole come from behind victory, Glynn Davis blundered and ran in to a run down on a comebacker. Kyle Hudson took a called strike that may have kicked up dirt. Kyle beats out an infield single to tie the game. Still one away, and the potential winning run at second again. Steve Pearce takes one of thse bad calls to go down in the count 1 and 2. GPD.
In the tenth and final inning, Rob Delaney gave up lead off singles. With runners at second and third after a fielder choice hit back to him, Rob struck out Benjamin Kline, intentionally walked Longoria, and struck out Ryan Roberts.
Romero walks. Flaherty at the plate. Niuman out attempting to steal. Ryan Ks. Conor Jackson is the final chance. He strikes out.
It's a 4-4 Tie!

Welcome to the forum. I activated my Ischia a few weeks ago and it looked the same as yours did after 24 hours, but it smelled sweet and slightly vomit like. It took 3 washings to get it healthy, after the third wash/feeding it smelled yeasty and rose by a few inches without producing any hooch. Depending on how it smells, I think yours is contaminated and needs washing. Stick will it, the good guys always win -Peter
Hi Dave,I waited about 24 hours between the three washings that I did, keeping the culture at 70F during that time. As the Sourdo.com instructions dictate, initially you should see a large reduction in activity, then consistent growth of 2-3 inches after feeding. Keep at it, smell is the biggest indicator.
Your Ischia culture was "contaminated" the moment you refreshed it. Mail-order cultures will not last more than one refreshment, unless they are, indeed, the very one and the same Lactobacillus species found to dominate all continuously-backslopped wheat and/or rye "Type I" sourdoughs the entire world over. Even then, native strains of Lb Sanfranciscensis will almost always out-compete the exact same species in powderised form more than 80% of the time in laboratory settings, with an even higher success-rate in bakery or home environments.

Sphaerodactylus ariasae is one of the smallest members of the Gekkonidae family and at an adult length of 16-18mm can curl up on a US dime. They are endemic to Hispaniola and can be found in leaf litter near limestone caves or cliffs.
S. ariasae shares the title of smallest of the amniote vertebrates, which are the reptiles, birds, and mammals, with S. parthenopion from the British Virgin Islands. These geckos are thought to be at the lower physiological limit for reptiles. Their large surface area to volume ratio makes them particularly susceptible to dehydration.
S. ariasae is named for Yvonne Arias, a champion for conservation in the Jaragua National Park, an important habitat for these geckos. They are threatened by deforestation, despite efforts to protect the park.

Could someone explain to me why people get dogs, and then tie them up and ignore them except for the occasional water and food?
Do they lie in bed and think "I'll go get a dog and then make its life as miserable as possible"?
Do these people sleep well knowing these animals are suffering?
Do they know animals can die from respiratory problems and heat stroke, and that they are susceptible to frostbite?
All animals deserve to be treated humanely. In my line of work, I see dogs shivering in the cold, and I call the Humane Society every day to report this neglect. By the way, neglect is abuse.
Please don't turn a blind eye to these helpless animals. If you see or know of a dog suffering, please call the Humane Society at 614-777-PETS (614-777-7387).
Just because a dog has a house does not mean it is warm. The floor in some of these shelters is like a sheet of ice.
This winter's temperatures are breaking records. Please be a voice for these helpless animals and report all abuse.

Questions about small solar installationWednesday, April 29th, 2009
Hello Jeff,
Thanks for all the great information you provide BHM readers. I'm planning to install a small PV system using the instructions in your article in issue #116. This will be a very small system and used primarily for back-up during a black out. I have a Uni-Solar US-32 panel and Sunsaver 10 amp controller. I'm installing the panel on a carport roof, (I live in Massachusetts), running the wires to connect to one or two 12-volt deep-cycle marine batteries in my attached garage. I'll be using the 2-pole fused disconnect and correct wire size for the panel and ground wires you recommend.
I have three questions.
1. What can I use as a bracket to mount the panel to the roof? I've seen small RV racks for sale and wondered if there is an alternative mounting bracket that can be purchased at a hardware store.
2. The wiring diagram in your article shows the load wires going to two 12 volt lights, hooked-up in parallel. I plan on wiring one light for the garage and continuing the wires about 30 feet to be run to the inside of the house. Those wires will be hooked up to a wall plate with a 12-volt cigarette plug receptacle mounted on the wall. I want to use the plug for a 12-volt TV or any other 12-volt appliance/charger that works using the auto style plug. What do you think of this arrangement and do you have any suggestions or recommendations.
3. Do I need to vent the batteries outside if they are in an un-insulated garage? I plan on putting the batteries in an insulated box for the winter and wondered if I can drill a hole into the top of the box and let the batteries vent into the garage.
Thanks for the help.
Ernie Smith
I can give you some general answers, but since we would not know everything about a specific installation, we cannot be too specific.
Although most solar dealers offer an "approved" angle "foot" to attach any solar module to a roof, I have taken 1-1/2 X 1-1/2 aluminum angle and installed the leg standing up to the side of the solar module and the flat leg bolted into the roof framing. Keep in mind that if you do not use the pre-drilled mounting holes on the back of the module you will void the warranty, so you might try a combination of two short lengths of angle back to back to make a "Z" shape. This will give you a way to utilize the bolt holes on the back of the module.
As long as your loads are 12 volt DC and wired in parallel, they do not all need to be at the same location. However, I would increase the wire size to the more distant load as there is 10 times the voltage drop at 12 volts DC that there is at 120 volts AC.
Finally, a few RV or golf cart batteries out in a garage will not give off enough gas to cause a problem due to the large space, but don't locate them next to a gas fired hot water heater. Hydrogen gas is only explosive when highly concentrated like in a small sealed up closet or battery box. If you do place the batteries in an insulated box, you will need a vent at the top. For larger battery systems we use a 1-1/2″ PVC pipe vented outside, with screening to prevent insects from entering. The pipe needs to slope uphill since gas rises, but you will need something to keep out the rain.
Good luck,
Jeff Yago

- Subjects:Reading, Teacher Tips and Strategies
Teaching Tolerance Through Photographs
- Grades: 3–5, 6–8
"This book is about you." This is the simple, yet powerful introduction to Toni Morrison's Coretta Scott King Award-winning book Remember: The Journey to School Integration. It reminds me that we need to start with this connection when we begin to plan for February's Black History Month. It is about us: what happened before and what has happened since segregation is part of all of our lives. It also reminds me that as teachers we need to carefully consider how we observe and discuss the life and legacy of African Americans of the past and future.
A Million Words
We've all heard the saying that a picture is worth a thousand words. If that's true, let me recommend that you pick up Toni Morrison's Remember: The Journey to School Integration. Morrison presents the story of school desegregation in the 1950s through a series of narrations that could be the thoughts of those in the photographs.
The School Library Journal describes this book as an "unusual blend of archival photographs, historical background, and fictional narrative that brings to life the experiences and emotions of the African-American students who made the tumultuous journey to school integration." This blend has made one of the strongest impacts on teaching tolerance by allowing students to make a connection between their lives and the imagined thoughts and feelings of people in pictures of the past. I plan to read this book to my class in the near future (probably in a Socratic Seminar); in years past it has reliably been one of my students' favorite lessons. And it's easy to understand why. Toni Morrison DOES make it about them, so it's not just an abstract story of struggle in the past.
If you plan on using this book in your classroom, there are several excellent ways to facilitate conversation. For example, looking at a few photos of seemingly sweet Caucasian boys holding picketing signs, an African-American boy behind a chain link fence, and a crowd of people surrounding two African-American boys entering school, the following questions could be posed:
- What would it have taken for the white boy who is speaking on page 28 NOT to carry a sign protesting blacks attending his school?
- How were the young black teens able to walk through a hostile crowd to enter school?
- What does the young activist on page 61 mean when he says, "I'm scared but not afraid"?
- Have you ever been in a position where you had to choose between what "everyone" was doing, what "everyone" expected, and what you thought was right? What did you choose to do? Why? What were the consequences of your choice?
- What is your definition of courage? Who are the most courageous people you can name? (Include historical and contemporary people.) What qualities do they all share?
In addition I found a detailed overview from Harcourt that really surprised me in its quality. You can also download a PDF of a full teacher guide that includes photographs.
Using Photographs of the Past and Present
Someone suggested to me that I look beyond the typical photographs of Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King for my class. I agree. Although well-known to adults, the photograph of Martin Luther King sitting in a Birmingham jail is probably not to your students. The weight of the world seems to be upon him; it's a sharp contrast to the icon of power we often show our students. But we can go beyond that even. I found photographs of Martin Luther King just sitting around with others, or just talking or working at a desk. A snapshot of ordinary life. Show these pictures to your students as well.
I heard Nikki Giovanni speak once about her friendship with Rosa Parks after publishing the book Rosa. She said Rosa Parks didn't like how she wrote that Parks was digging for a dime in her purse at the bus stop. According to Giovanni, Parks said she'd never be caught digging for change; she'd have the money ready to go. After looking at some photographs of Rosa Parks, you can see what a detail-oriented person she was, just through her carefully selected outfits. Share this with your class. Finding historical images that display emotions of hardship allow us to connect and relate in a deeper, more meaningful way. It also helps us to connect to the present, as equality and acceptance are universally desired.
Expanding upon that, I encourage you to create a historical AND present day collection of photographs to showcase for and discuss with your class. These photographs should feature a mix of emotions and figures, and the collection doesn't need to be restricted to key figures. Include pictures of ordinary citizens just living life captured in the moment. Then allow time for your students to talk and discuss what those ordinary citizens might be thinking or encountering, just as Morrison does in her book. Many sites provide information pertaining to the photographs, and that is a good place to start.
The Dos and Don'ts of Celebrating Black History Month
A few years ago, after reading Morrison's book, students began to open up with stories of modern day racism, relating events that had happened to them or small things said by their parents. As teachers, do we acknowledge that there is still hate today? The answer is "yes." I found a Southern Poverty Law Center site, Teaching Tolerance, particularly helpful in deciphering the "dos and don'ts" of Black History Month. Although it was specifically for MLK Day, I encourage you to read it before embarking on lesson plan ideas. Suggestions include things like "DO invite elders from student families and the community to visit with the class and share personal reflections" and "DON'T assume that all Black children and their families are experts on the Civil Rights Movement and/or the life and legacy of Dr. King."
So, what are some of your plans for February? Or better yet, how do you integrate black history into your curriculum throughout the year? Please share below!
And don't forget to visit Scholastic's African-American heritage pages as well.

Morgan Stanley Coughs Up $5 Million in Facebook Settlement
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Massachusetts has settled a $5 million fine with Morgan Stanley (MS) for what it deemed to be improper research tied to the initial public offering of Facebook (FB) .
The state's securities regulator said on Monday that the bank violated the 2003 Global Research Analyst settlement in its role underwriting Facebook's IPO. In the days leading up to the May 18 offering, Morgan Stanley analysts downgraded earnings outlook of Facebook in an internal research report as a result of alleged conversations with company management orchestrated by underwriters
In the wake of Facebook's poor post-IPO performance, the social network and its underwriters faced criticism of selective disclosure on upcoming earnings weakness.
The report questioned Facebook's execution on mobile devices-tied ad revenue, a weakness that pushed shares lower in the company's first two earnings reports as a public company. In a statement explaining the statement Galvin of Massachusetts said that the analyst had improperly communicated with underwriters of the offering.
On May 9 -- roughly a week prior to Facebook's IPO -- the social network indicated in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission its advertising revenue growth relative to total users was slowing as a result of mobile devices.
Recently, Facebook's seen its shares recover to just 30% below its $38 a share IPO price as mobile device-based revenue begins to trickle in .
"We are pleased to have reached a settlement with Secretary Galvin and the Massachusetts Securities Division and to have put this matter behind us," Mary Claire Delaney, a Morgan Stanley spokesperson said in an e-mailed statement. "Morgan Stanley is committed to robust compliance with both the letter and the spirit of all applicable regulations and laws."
Morgan Stanley neither admitted or denied the claims, in Monday's penalty.
Monday's settlement follows a late October $2 million fine paid by Citigroup(C) to the Massachusetts regulator.
In that fine, details of leaked non-public information cost one of the bank's analysts his job, and another left the firm as a result of compliance violations related to stock ratings of Google(GOOG) .
What was initially seen as a coup by Morgan Stanley in winning the lead underwriting mandate for Facebook soon turned into a public relations disaster when the largest-ever tech IPO flopped falling roughly 50% in the wake of the offering.
Morgan Stanley, Citigroup and other underwriters of the Facebook IPO and its analysts were prohibited from disseminating any non-public information prior to the offeringr. Bloomberg reported in May that the 33 investment banks participating in the offering would pocketed roughly $176 million in fees related to the offering.
Both Morgan Stanley and Citigroup were among 10 Wall Street investment banks that agreed to the Global Research Analyst settlement. In the wake of the dot-com bust, the Securities and Exchange Commission found a host of conflicts of interest inside research and underwriting units of the banks. The fidelity of sell-side research, the settlement found, took a back seat to more lucrative underwriting activity.

In the early years of my research or observation. :) When friends saw my love interest of a different race. They get all inquisitive and ask a lot of questions. The most prevalent question is always about the SEX! Yeah...Yeah...Sex is always the issue. I get questions like (I am sure you are dying to know). 'Is he circumcised?', 'Is he great in bed?', 'What is it like?'...Errrr he is a man with a difference race and possibly culture, so I really dont get it. One black guy who wanted to date me cringed at the thought of me having a white ex and hasn't shown much interest since then. Fair enough. Inadvertently, he proceeded to say. 'Its a Fact babe, Black men have bigger packages'. My swift response was 'I am assuming you are gay and have shagged ALL the white and black men within sight to base your conclusions/opinions upon....huh?'
I think we need to be more open minded interrcially. Looking beyond the imperfections and skin colour or Myths...whatever they are called. I believe it will be unfair to think a certain race are blessed with bigger+ betters features while others are not. Imagine a saying that goes 'White men have better brains than black men' How about that for starters! I am sure that would hurt!
In conclusion, there are no right or wrong answers and besides it isn't conclusive. I have enjoyed relationships with both white and black men but I am tilted towards dating whites as the first white man I dated treated me really really well and he was a godsend. Hence the partiality. As for the sex....its a no-brainer. Sex is based on chemistry. If the chemistry is more intense with a Mr X then you have better sex. Its NOT the race. Dare I add that the biggest penis I have ever seen was attached to a white man ....and it was circumcised. I said it. It was gigantic. There you go!!! Its outta my chest.
Once you go black you can never go back... well I don't know if there is much truth in the saying, but 2 of my exes went on to marry+ engaged proper African ladies after me. So I guess I was doing something right then. So those of you who have 'Bazookas' hanging down your nether regions. Way to go. Good luck!. Average to large+ Chemistry does it for me. A 'toddler's thumb' sized penis or a huge Bazooka are a No No!!!. I really dont know many women who want to be sitting in a hot tub for days on end.

A Generic Approach for Designing Multi-Sensor 3D Video Capture Systems
Karaoglu, Ali
Permanent address of the item is: http://URN.fi/URN:NBN:fi:tty-2011102414857
Publication type: Diplomityö
Issue date: 2011-10-05
University: Tampereen teknillinen yliopisto - Tampere University of Technology
Faculty: Tieto- ja sähkötekniikan tiedekunta – Faculty of Computing and Electrical Engineering
Department: Signaalinkäsittelyn laitos – Department of Signal Processing
The increased availability of 3D devices on the market raises the interest in 3D technologies. A lot of research is going on to advance the current 3D technology and integrate it into market products. Video gaming, displays, cameras, and transmission systems are some examples of such products. However, all of these products use different input 3D video formats. For instance, there are many types of 3D displays that work with different inputs like stereo video, video plus depth map or multi-view video. To provide input for these displays, the development of adequate 3D video capture systems is required. 3D video capture systems in general consist of multiple cameras. They also include tools for interfacing the cameras, synchronizing the captured video and compensating the physical disorientation effect of assembly process over hardware devices. A drawback of the current approaches for data capture is that each of them is suitable only for a specific display type or specific application. Capture systems should be re-designed for each of them particularly. There is no single solution that can provide 3D streams for the multitude of 3D technologies. The main objective of this thesis is to develop a generic solution that can be used with different camera array topologies. A system is developed to interface multiple cameras remotely and capture video from them synchronously in real-time data acquisition. Several computers are used to interface multiple cameras and a physical network is setup to build communication lines between the computers. A client-server software is implemented to interface the cameras remotely. The number of cameras is scalable with the flexibility of software and hardware of the system. This approach can handle integration of different video camera models. Moreover, the system supports integration of depth capture devices, which delivers depth information of the scene in real time. Calibration and rectification of the proposed multi-sensor camera array setup are supported.

In doing the press pack I keep coming across a lot of stuff online that is hybrid tumblr-drupal madness. Sorry to be bringing this up again, but bear with me people.
If you type in "forest cafe workshops" into google, here is the second like (underneath the forest.tumblr one)
This should not be coming up online. "WARNING - THE INFO BELOW IS OUT OF DATE - DISREGARD IT, THANKS - WARNING"
holy whatthefuck? I have seen a lot of bad websites in my life, but seldom one that has a banner across the top saying "WARNING, ALL THE INFORMATION ON THIS WEBPAGE IS FALSE"
can we take this offline until it is fixed please? And by "fixed" i mean more than just the right times of workshops, I mean information, text and photos too.

Face Evil On Three Fronts
To the Reader's Forum:
The horror of evil devastated Newtown, Conn.. We are left to cope with the fallout, agony, and questions gripping us. Evil of this shocking magnitude calls for serious and sober reflection, not rash reactions, like we heard from some politicians who eagerly rushed to exploit it for their agenda.
We have to face evil on three fronts: experientially, intellectually, and practically. For those, like in Connecticut, the experiential front of facing it calls for a humble presence, a listening ear, few words, arms to hug, a shoulder to cry on and brief prayers sensitive to the tenderness and anguish of the situation of those experiencing it. Job 2: 13 illustrates it well as Job's friends initially sat with him silently because his suffering was immense.
The second front is intellectual. It is not illogical to have evil and God exist in the same universe. As C.S. Lewis viewed it, we would not know if a line is crooked without knowing what a straight line is. Likewise, we can only know what evil is by what good is. Everyone knows that good and evil exist together, but why they currently co-exist is best explained through Scripture.
Furthermore, evil is not a thing. It is an absence of a thing, like cold is the absence of heat and dark is the absence of light. Evil is the absence of good. God created man "very good," but man rejected good and in the absence of good, evil set in. The drama of evil beginning dismally for man in Genesis ends with God decisively swallowing it up in victory through Christ. That victory is our hope.
The third front is practical. As the enormity of the evil makes us examine all factors; let me submit two. No matter how well-intentioned it may have been, Newtown's gun-free school zone instantly turned into a victim disarmament zone of murder void of Second Amendment protection. Statistics prove that gun-free zones are big targets for mass murderers.
Shouldn't we learn from Israel and apply what they did to deter murderous violence in their schools?
Besides being a gun-free zone, government-run schools are "God-free zones." The school-sponsored prayer, "Almighty God, we acknowledge our dependence upon thee, and we beg Thy blessings upon us, our parents, our teachers and our Country" has been banned since 1963. In the absence of prayer, aren't we more vulnerable to evil than we are already?
The Rev. Mel McGinnis

When I first began my career as an airline pilot, I really didn't have any idea what to expect. I knew I would be flying—a lot—and I knew that I would be traveling—a lot. But beyond that, I really didn't know what the job would be like. I knew there would be an autopilot, and I was pretty stoked about that. I knew I'd be wearing a uniform, and while many pilots can't stand wearing the hat, it never bothered me.
But the one thing that I was relatively unprepared for was the crew concept. I'd had a bit of experience with it thanks to my previous job, which included using an airplane to photo-map the state's farmland. We also did some atmospheric sampling work, but the "crew" on those flights were nonpilots. The photo-mapping projects, on the other hand, were a true team effort, and while it could be done with two pilots, it was really a three-person job. But, it wasn't the same kind of crew that you'd find in an airline cockpit.
The transition to a crew environment wasn't all that hard. What was hard was realizing how much help I really had, and how little I had to do for myself. For instance, in my previous job, the pilot flying did everything flying-related except talk on the radio. That was handled by the yahoo sitting in the other seat (usually one of my bosses, who were among the finest yahoos I ever knew, except for when they were flying together).
In the crew world, the pilot flying flies…and that's pretty much all he or she does. The gear, flaps, radio, checklists, and almost anything else you can think of are done by what we used to call the nonflying pilot, but whom we now refer to as the "pilot monitoring." I still call them "the yahoo sitting next to me." After all these years, why worry now about political correctness?
It took me a while to get used to not working the gear or flaps, especially since, in the Brasilia, the gear handle was in front of my left knee, and the flap handle was right next to the same knee. I also had to learn just how much I was allowed to ask for. If I wanted the radar on, all I had to do was ask. If I wanted the power set at a certain setting, all I had to do was ask. I did have to work my own HSI, and I got to control my nav radio if I was quick enough to beat the captain to it…which wasn't often.
There were, of course, other duties that came with the territory, such as calling the company on the radio prior to every arrival and after every departure. Talking to a dispatcher was new as well, but it was a Part 135 operation at the time, so we pilots were still more involved in flight planning, though nowhere near to the degree that I had been. I knew more about the route of my first dual cross-country than I have about any airline trip I've flown, and I wish it wasn't so, but short turn times force you to rely on a dispatcher more than you ever would have thought. Besides, trying to follow a sectional from the flight levels or at high speeds would be a challenge.
But it was that transition to a total crew environment that really opened my eyes. I was the low man on the totem pole, and I had to learn how to work with (and sometimes get along with) a captain and a flight attendant. Neither was hard, but it was a period of adaptation that is now effortless, and, I now realize, much better and safer than much of what I'd done before.
There are always going to be stories of cockpit dictators, and occasionally even a story about a fist-fight or some kind of ugly confrontation between two people who simply can't get along. But those are rare. Airlines do a great job of training crews to work together, and while you won't walk away from every trip with a new BFF, you won't always have a new mortal enemy either.
Unless, of course, you insist on doing everything yourself, which will not only aggravate the person next to you, but will also make you extremely busy. Plus, you will be branded as the next yahoo.—Chip Wright

Thank you for the introduction to the Human Touch Zero Gravity Massage Chair. This is the best design combination in your family of chairs. The "zero gravity" position in combination with the robotic massage unit creates a significant advantage in the industry. It, to me, is the front runner in the market place of robotic chairs.
I have these chairs available for patients in my office for pre/post care with the Chiropractic adjustment. I have many patients that utilize the therapeutic effects of the chairs each visit. It is a tremendous asset in my care plan to offer the chairs benefit to calm the muscles, which are part of the vertebral subluxation complex, after an adjustment to clear interference to the quality and quantity of muscle tone.
I have many patients with an array of neuromuscular conditions like fibromyalgia. The patient notices the benefit of relaxation and I, as a Doctor of Chiropractic, notice a greater change in the tone of the muscle after the "perfect massage chair" is incorporated into a care plan. My patients certainly feel an extra benefit in my office with the use of the Human Touch Robotic Massage chairs. Thank you for your continued support and revolutionary technology.
In Good Health,

Social Work Practice and People with Disabilities: Our Future Selves
During the past fifty years a revolution in how we recognize advocate, medically treat, and interact with people with disabilities has taken place within contemporary society. From historical civil rights legislation to greater access to society's rights and benefits, to technological advances and population longevity, people with disabilities are integrating themselves into society. As we begin to explore the 21st Century new concerns regarding the cost of chronic care and society's desire to fund these costs are beginning to emerge. The desire to qualify the cost of care by functional longevity has begun to emerge in both private and public service delivery systems. As professional social workers begin to expand their sociopolitical influence, they will be challenged to uphold the rights of self-determination that people with disabilities have striven to attain.

As mentioned earlier, Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal were on the same party circuit last night after the Globes. Click here for a refresher and to see pictures of Taylor with her sisterhood. At one point they were all at Chateau Marmont. Jake was having a great time with sister Maggie and Ruth Wilson. Full Story
Selena came down with the drama
Elder Ordonez/ INFphoto.com/ Splash
I have a friend, H, and she has an expression. It's the best. She dropped it on me once when we were at a work meeting years ago, before I started blogging full-time. One of our colleagues, P, was upset about some negative feedback. She sulked for the rest of the session, then at the very end, when everyone was getting up to leave, she let the tears fall down her face and ran to the bathroom. Full Story

Lindsay Lohan is back in Los Angeles. Didn't I just read an article the other day about how she's all about London now because she can go for a run and watch the BBC and not get papped all the time? She's been papped a LOT in England, like several times a week, but whatever. Full Story
Ariana Grande's demands
Jason Merritt/ Getty
Ariana Grande was in Australia today to promote her new album. There was some drama. Apparently the media was made to wait an hour. Pfft. With Mimi it's at least 3 hours. Then, when she was ready for the first photographer, her people supposedly passed on some strict instructions: -No relationship questions -Doesn't want to talk about Mimi (As IF!) -Nothing about Sam & Cat or Jennette McCurdy (I don't know what this means and you don't need to explain, I'm good) -Justin Bieber -Her grandfather's death Also…and here it comes… *DON'T use natural light.

How do they kiss and make out?
Jacek doesn't like being totally totally clean shaven on his face. And I, too, prefer him with a one day stubble...aesthetically that is. He looks hot with a little shadow. But, at the risk of sharing too much, when we make out, anywhere below the chin, it scratches, it's uncomfortable, or it tickles, like on the inside of the leg. Full Story
Tears over noodles?
And Chinese noodles? I mean, my people, we know how to do noodles. Noodles are not something to cry over. But this post is about Sienna Miller. And if anyone can find a reason to cry over noodles, it's Sienna Miller. Which is why I already called bullsh-t last week on her assertion that she's removed the drama from her life. Full Story
Drama Queen remembers his bank account
Yesterday during the live blog – click here if you missed it – we talked about why Nicolas Cage dropped out of Trespass with Nicole Kidman, buggering off on holiday and leaving an entire production in disarray. However I noted at the time that: "There's also a sense that he might just be on his period and he'll eventually come back to it. Full Story
Lohan Mayhem 2010
Lindsay Lohan promised on her Twitter at New Year's that 2010 would be all about the Lohan Mayhem. In a "positive" way. Please. Is that possible? Lilo is currently with Ali in St Barts. The mother is nowhere to be found. They've been walking around in their bikinis, attending high roller parties, frying their orange skin. Full Story
Average Cat
Drama. Beanie Sigel's Jay-Z diss track – have you heard it? Beanie is signed to Roc-a-fella and some say he wants out buy Jay won't let him and that he's still pissed because Jay didn't come to see him in prison, and had him removed from his September 11th tribute concert. Full Story
Public crying
Sienna Miller was walking her dog in New York today and they were photographing her and she was arguing with them about photographing her and then she started crying, repeatedly wiping the tears from her eyes. Now I am not an overly emotional person. I don't cry often, let alone cry in public. I understand that sometimes it needs to happen for some people some of the time…but in this case, in her case, don't ask me to feel badly and sympathise with her protests. Full Story

Two-tailed pasha (Charaxes jasius)
One of the most exotic butterfly species in Europe. As soon as I spotted this one, I started chasing it around until I got satisfying captures. Luckily, although I scared it off lots of times, it kept coming back to perch on the wooden bench. So at last (hence the title of the photo) I managed to get this shot with its wings open! Don't miss the other photo of the underside of the wings, too.
Best viewed On Black, Large.
