Let me take you back to 1969, the year of Woodstock and of Neil Armstrong's giant leap for mankind. Nixon was in the White House that year, Elvis was playing Vegas, and the Beatles were recording Abbey Road. Bill Gates and Steve Jobs were high school kids. Such a long time ago it was—half a lifetime. In the world of computer technology, 1969 is halfway back to the dawn of time.
And yet, when you look closely at the latest computer hardware and software, it's not hard to find vestiges of 1969. Your shiny new Pentium processor can trace its heritage back to a chip whose design was begun that very year. The Unix operating system, whose offshoots are blooming luxuriantly these days, also has its roots in that flower-power summer. And the first four nodes of the ARPANET, progenitor of today's Internet, began exchanging packets in the last months of 1969. The window-and-menu interface we know so well was still a few years in the future; but, on the other hand, the computer mouse was already a few years old.
One reaction to the longevity of so much early computer technology is admiration for the pioneers of the field. They must have been clear-thinking and far-seeing innovators to get so much right on the first try. And it's true: Giants strode the earth in those days. Hats off to all of them!
But in celebrating the accomplishments of that golden age, I can't quite escape the obvious nagging question: What has everybody been doing for the past 35 years? Can it be true that technologies conceived in the era of time-sharing, teletypes and nine-track tape are the very best that computer science has to offer in the 21st century?
It's no secret that the success of a technology is not always explained by merit alone; there are also qwerks of history and qwerks of fate—named for the most famous example, the qwerty keyboard on which I am typing these words. The qwerty layout is not the best possible arrangement of the letters—it may even be the worst—but once everyone has learned it, the cost of change is too great. A slightly different kind of qwerk is sometimes cited to explain the ascendancy of the gasoline-fueled automobile engine. Whether or not this powerplant was the best choice at the outset, the argument goes, so much engineering effort was invested in its development that rivals couldn't keep up. By now, the global infrastructure supporting gasoline engines gives them an almost insuperable advantage. The story of color television offers yet another variation on the theme: The broadcast format adopted in the 1950s was chosen not because it gave the highest picture quality but because it was compatible with existing black-and-white TV sets. Even 50 years later, replacing that suboptimal format with the digital HDTV standard has been slow going.
These stories imply a certain mental model of technological evolution. When a new product category appears, there's an initial free-for-all period, in which diverse ideas compete on a more-or-less equal basis. But multiple alternatives cannot co-exist indefinitely. Eventually one technology becomes dominant—for whatever reason—and all others are driven out. A latecomer to the market has little hope of breaking in.
The trouble with this neat formulation is that counterexamples are as easy to find as examples. If it were true that an established technology could never be dislodged from its niche, we would still be listening to vinyl LP records. If competing technologies could never co-exist, we would not have three incompatible standards for cellular telephones in the U.S., with a fourth standard prevalent elsewhere. It appears that some technologies remain fluid over long periods, whereas others freeze solid early in their history. How do we tell them apart? What is it about audio recording that has allowed such a profusion of media (wax cylinders, 78s, 45s, 33s, eight-track cartridges, cassette tapes, CDs, MP3s), while keyboards have remained steadfastly faithful to qwerty? Perhaps close examination of specific cases and circumstances would explain these discrepancies, but I don't see much hope for a simple, predictive theory of technological evolution.
The realm of computing offers a great many further illustrations of qwerkiness. Here I shall discuss two examples of strangely long-lived technologies, both of them distinguished members of the class of 1969: the Intel family of microprocessors and the Unix operating system.
The chip that founded the Intel dynasty was designed for a Japanese desktop calculator. The processor, called the 4004, had about 2,300 transistors and operated on four bits of data at a time. The 4004 was followed by the 8008 and the 8080, which were eight-bit processors, and later by the 16-bit 8086. (A transitional morph designated the 8088 was chosen for the first IBM PC in 1981.) Later came the 80186 and the 80286; then, expanding the data path to 32 bits, the 80386 and the 80486. Just when we thought we understood the naming scheme, the next chip in the series was called the Pentium. There have been several further iterations; the current model is the Pentium 4, with a transistor count of 42 million.
The processors in the "x86" series have much more in common than just the corporate logo stamped on the package. (Indeed, chips made by several other companies belong to the same family.) All of the processors since the 8086 are machine-code compatible; that is, a program written for the 8086 in 1978 should run without change on the latest Pentium. This impressive feat of backward compatibility did not come without cost and effort. Through all the generations of processors, the designers have had to preserve the same basic architecture—features such as a set of eight general-purpose registers, a partitioning of the computer's memory space into fixed-size segments, and an instruction set that by modern standards might best be described as funky. The instructions vary in length from eight bits to 108, and they include a baffling variety of modes for addressing data in memory.
Fashions in computer engineering have changed since 1969, and the x86 instruction set now looks as retro as a pair of wide-wale bell-bottoms. Stylish microprocessors these days are mostly RISC designs—an acronym for reduced-instruction-set computer. The instructions are kept simple and few so that they can be executed very fast. This strategy frees up space on the chip for other resources, such as a large set of registers. Uniformity and orthogonality are also prized virtues of RISC designs: Usually, all the instructions have the same length and the same format, and all the registers are interchangeable.
By now, RISC is everywhere in the world of microprocessors—except the x86 line. Even Intel has introduced RISC chips, as well as another adventurous new technology called a very-long-instruction-word processor, but these products are not being marketed for mainstream personal computers. One reading of this situation is that Intel has been trapped by its own success. The designers might well prefer to leave behind the qwerks of the past, but the marketplace will not allow them to abandon 25 years' worth of "legacy code" written for the x86 chips.
It's interesting to compare Intel's predicament with the experience of Apple Computer, which converted the Macintosh to a RISC architecture in 1994, yet maintained compatibility with older software. The changeover was rather like jacking up a house and moving it to a new foundation while the family inside sat down for dinner. The key to backward compatibility was an emulator, a program running on the new hardware that impersonates the old.
Why couldn't Intel do something similar to liberate their customers from the x86 architecture? In fact they did, although the impersonation is done in hardware rather than software. Inside the latest Pentium processors is a core that looks nothing like the earlier x86 chips; it is a RISC-like machine with a large bank of registers and a repertoire of simple instructions called R-ops (for RISC operations). But this core is entirely hidden from the programmer, who continues to deal with the chip as if it had the usual set of eight general-purpose registers and other qwerks. A decoder on the chip reads incoming x86 instructions and translates them into R-ops. Most of the translations are straightforward, but a few of the x86 instructions give rise to streams of more than 100 R-ops.
One might try to argue that the Pentium 4 would be faster without the overhead of translation. The chip real estate dedicated to the decoder could be put to some other use that would improve overall performance. This may be true. On the other hand, users of Pentium 4 systems are not complaining about traveling in the slow lane while the world passes them by; on the contrary, makers of other chips have had to struggle to keep pace. The fastest Pentium has a clock rate greater than 3 gigahertz. It is the gasoline engine of computing.
Software, as the word itself suggests, is more malleable than hardware, and so one might think it would also be more ephemeral. The history of Unix suggests otherwise.
Unix began as a small-scale, low-budget project of Dennis M. Ritchie and Ken Thompson at Bell Laboratories. It has grown and prospered. Today it is the software of choice for scientific and engineering workstations and for multicomputer grids and clusters; it also runs many Internet servers and other "back office" machines. The Linux variant is installed on several million PCs. Recently the Macintosh has become yet another Unix box. Furthermore, Unix has exerted an unmistakable influence on other operating systems, not least Microsoft Windows. In certain crucial internal structures, such as the organization of files into nested directories, almost all computer systems today have adopted methods that were first introduced in Unix.
The early versions of Unix were written for minicomputers in the PDP series, made by Digital Equipment Corporation. Many of those machines had only a few kilobytes of memory; disk storage was equally scant; the standard means of communicating with the computer was a hard-copy teletypewriter or a text-only video terminal. Looking back from our present abundance of gigabytes and megapixels, it seems remarkable that a complex software system could be made to work at all on such primitive machinery. That it would still be running today—and would be widely regarded as the best of its kind—is astonishing.
Of course the Unix of today is not your grandfather's operating system. If you wish, you can still invoke programs from a 24-by-40-character terminal (and some thoughtful people insist that this "command line" remains the best interface), but there are also glitzy window-and-mouse alternatives. Under the hood, the internals of the system have been rewritten over and over—so much so that Unix has to be seen as a kind of standing wave, a pattern that persists even though all of its substance is constantly in flux. Quite possibly, not one line of code has been preserved from the earliest versions. (In the case of Linux, lawyers are currently wrangling over this very question.) Nevertheless, the essence-of-Unix has remained quite stable through all the transformations.
When Unix was young, computers were scarce and expensive, which meant that each machine had many users. Dozens of terminals would be wired to a single CPU, and it was the function of time-sharing software like Unix to create the illusion that you had a computer of your own. Part of this magic trick lay in arranging for the processor to switch tasks so rapidly that it could run snippets of your program in between other users' keystrokes. Another aspect was walling off each user in a separate compartment, so that no one could trespass on anyone else's space, either deliberately or inadvertently.
Computers are no longer scarce. In many offices and even in some households, they outnumber people. The challenge today is not dividing a single CPU among multiple users but helping each individual manage and coordinate the resources of multiple machines. Where is the latest version of that document you were looking for—on the file server, on your laptop, on the PC at home? These days it could even be on your keychain. A time-sharing operating system is not the obvious solution to such problems. And yet Unix and its offspring have adapted themselves surprisingly well to this new environment.
Even on a computer with just a single user, the task-switching mechanism remains vitally important: It allows you to keep dozens of programs active at the same time. And the barriers originally meant to isolate users from one another now prevent a rogue program from clobbering other software. Admittedly, the multiuser security apparatus can seem a little excessive—a little qwerky—when you're working all by yourself. In the Unix social milieu, each user has a private domain; groups of users can share resources; there's a public space accessible to all; and there's an inner sanctum off limits to everyone but the "superuser," also known as "root." When you try to delete a file and your laptop curtly objects, "You don't have permission to do that," you will probably not run down the hall looking for someone with root privileges.
But the scheme of file permissions, developed for the hub-and-spoke world of time-sharing computers, turns out to work reasonably well in network file systems, which create a decentralized information universe. A network file system frees you to wander from one machine to another within a local network, taking your entire computing environment with you, including your private documents and programs.
My candidate for the most important single innovation introduced by Unix is the hierarchical file system. I also consider it the feature most desperately in need of a better idea.
In the 1950s, a computer file system was a cabinet full of magnetic tapes, tended by a poor drudge who retrieved them as needed. Disk storage allowed information to be kept on-line without manual intervention, but the early disks were small enough that organizing files was not a serious problem. Nevertheless, Ritchie and Thompson foresaw that a simple, flat list of files would soon become unwieldy. Their solution, a tree of directories nested inside directories, has held up quite well for 35 years. (Incidentally, this phylogeny was recapitulated twice in the ontogeny of microcomputers. The first versions of both MS-DOS and the Macintosh operating system had no nested subdirectories; they were flat file systems. In both cases tree-structured directories were added in the next release.)
The Unix file system has the topology of a rooted tree, a structure made up of linked nodes called parents and children. The root of the tree—which by qwerky tradition is always placed at the top—is a special node that has no parent. Directly below the root are its children, which can have children of their own, and so on to arbitrary depth. Any node can have any number of children (including zero), but every node other than the root has exactly one parent. Because of this single-parent constraint, there is always a unique path from the root to any node of the tree. In other words, you can find any directory or file by starting at the root and following some path from parent to child—and there will be only one such path.
By now both the pleasures and the frustrations of directory trees are familiar to all. When you organize your correspondence, you can do it chronologically, setting up a directory for each year, with nested directories for each month. Or instead you can create a directory for each recipient. Or you can invent topical categories—love letters, crank letters, letters to the editor. The trouble is, any one such scheme precludes all the others. If you arrange the files topically, you can't also keep them in chronological sequence. (A mechanism called a symbolic link can create shortcuts between distant nodes of the tree, but it's not a practical solution to this problem.)
The great advantage of trees as a data structure is efficiency of access. Suppose you are searching for a specific document among N files. Going from file to file through a flat, unstructured list, the effort required is proportional to N. With a tree of directories, the effort is reduced to the logarithm of N—a tremendous gain. But for some value of N, even log N grows unreasonably large.
I recently installed a new implementation of the TeX typesetting system (another magnificently qwerky artifact, although it does not go back quite as far as 1969). The system includes more than 13,000 files; a small part of the tree is shown in Figure 3. Note that for the program to work, it is not enough that all the files be present; they must also be in the right places. The hard work of creating this structure was done by an automated installer that goes out over the Internet, finds the necessary components, and puts them where they belong. I could never have constructed it by hand. If it breaks, I have no idea how to fix it.
I take my own helplessness in this situation as a sign that trees may be nearing their practical limit as an organizational device. For a glimpse of what could lie ahead, look at the third notable technology among the 1969 alumni—the Internet, and specifically the World Wide Web. The topology of the Web is uncannily like that of a Unix file system. Internet domain names take the form of a tree (or rather a small copse of trees, since the top-level domains .com, .org and so on are independent roots). Hyperlinks between Web pages are equivalent to symbolic links to Unix files. The only difference is that the Web is several orders of magnitude larger. So as personal file systems continue to grow, perhaps we will manage them with the same kinds of tools we now use for the Web. Indeed, it is widely assumed that the Web browser will be the model for the next generation of operating system. This is a prospect I do not find reassuring. The Web is a wonderful resource, but few of us would view it as a reliable storage-and-retrieval medium, where you can put something in and count on getting it out again. I'd say it's more like a fishing hole, where you throw your hook in and hope that something bites it. Don't be surprised if you see the error message "Go fish!"
The premise of this column is a bit of fraud. It's too easy to look back 35 years and pick out a few ideas that proved to be winners; the real trick is to name the present-day technologies that will emerge as qwerks of the future. I'm not even sure about the further evolution of the three choices discussed here. In one form or another the Internet will surely survive, and it's a fair bet there will be microprocessors that recognize x86 instructions for some time to come. But what will systems software look like in 10 years, or 35?
A number of visionary proposals are on the record already. Jef Raskin, the first architect of the Macintosh, offers the idea of a "zooming space" to replace operating systems, Web browsers and various other kinds of programs. The metaphor is geographic: Documents are spread out over a landscape, and the user soars above them, zooming in to see details and zooming out for an overview. It's an appealing (if slightly dizzying) notion, but I wonder whether it will scale any better than nested trees of directories.
David Gelernter of Yale argues that the key organizing principle should be temporal rather than spatial. His "lifestreams" model arranges documents in sequences and subsequences, with various facilities for browsing and searching. Underneath this interface is a database called tuple space. It's worth noting that both Raskin and Gelernter focus on the problem of organizing documents—texts, music, pictures, or more generally what nowadays tends to be called "content." But the original purpose of operating systems was mainly to organize the software that runs the computer itself, and this still needs to be done. Can a zooming space or a lifestream help me manage that gargantuan TeX tree?
The most radical proposal comes from Donald A. Norman, another interface expert who was once at Apple. He solves the complexity problem at a stroke: If computers are too hard to use, just get rid of them! They can be replaced by more-specialized "information appliances"—one device to send e-mail, one to balance your checkbook, one to do tax returns, etc. I don't trust myself to gauge the plausibility of this idea because I find it so thoroughly uncongenial. I want to know which information appliance replaces the computer that I compute with.
As for my own predictions, I'm going to paraphrase an old joke that used to be told about the Fortran programming language. I don't know what the operating system of the future will look like. All I know is that it will be called Unix.

No big deal. Actually get that a lot. Just never been told I havent been in a real combat zone becuase I didnt have to eat mre's for a month straight. But as for origional subject, I PERSONALY think that your body can adjust to eating nothing but an mre a day, but its by far not the best thing for you. And you can probly get other things for cheaper that are just as good or better.
-I have ate them for days straight, they suck.

I have two individual meal packs. I will save them till the end. When there is nothing else to eat. My last meal, an MRE.
I never had a problem eating nothing but MREs for a long period of time and I think for most people it just comes down to appetite fatigue. I never really had many complaints about them, some of the older ones sucked (the omlet and the ham and chicken loaf come to mind).
And not to get too picky but the Coast Guard is not, and has never been, a part of the military. They are a fine paramilitary force but they were originally a part of the DOT and now they fall under the DHS. Not much of a distinction really because they have fought in damn near every conflict we have been involved in since their inception and their service has matched that of every branch under the DOD.
As for the MREs, if anyone wants some I have a friend back in the states who has recently acquired a couple hundred cases from a PD that is surplusing them out. As I understand it they are all late 06 production date and they were stored in a climate controled warehouse. I think he is asking $50 per case or $45 each for 10 or more. If you want his contact info I can get it for you.

WOW. And what would you know? I'm not trying to start an argument, but you are wrong in so many ways. Actually, you are out of your f-ing mind. If I did actually argue it would be WAY to long of a post. Some "non-military" facts for you: The USCG is the "longest continuing sea going service",since the Navy was disbanded a few times. The reason we are not under the DOD, is because of our law enforcement/counter terrorism mission. The other four under DOD cannot do what we do in that area (ie. boarding vessels without cause). There's a bunch of WWII Marines, and Vietnam aviators, and even a few Marine corp aircrews around here who would also disagree with you on your "USCG is not military" quote. They do not award the Medal of Honor, to a non-military branch. A non military branch does not operate naval destroyers and landing craft. A non military branch does not secure off shore oil platforms in the beginning of the Iraq war, and stay till the end. I don't care to much what you say about me, but you basically just sh-t all over thousands of coasties that died serving their country in the UNITED STATES MILITARY, as well as hundreds of thousands that have served.
If your in a fair fight, your tactics suck.

Boone County commissioners to eliminate 911 landline phone tax
New sales tax will fund new 911 call center and additional employees
BOONE COUNTY, Mo. - On Tuesday morning, Boone County leaders started work to eliminate the current 911 tax on landline phones.
Instead, county commissioners are going to rely on the new sales tax that was approved by voters in April. The county is hoping the new sales tax will generate around $9.3 million for the new 911/Joint Communications center and employees.
That tax goes into effect in October and the goal is to upgrade services.
Currently, Joint Communications is interviewing to fill five positions for call takers. Those five employees will make up for the current one 24/7 call taker. The ultimate goal is to someday have four call takers, which would mean adding at least 20 new employees.
"When I started here 22 years ago, we had one call taker and today, we still have one dedicated call taker, so it's long overdue," said Joe Piper, interim director of operations for the 911 center in Boone County.
The new facility will be on the current Boone County law enforcement campus just north of Columbia and should be completed by 2015.
The county is in the process of naming a project manager to build the new facility, and could know in the next couple of weeks who gets the job.
Also in the next couple of weeks, a date will be announced for when the transition will take place for the city employees to become county employees. Officials have been figuring out sick days, pension benefits rolling over, seniority and salary. They are still figuring out how to transfer vacation days.
"They can start with a vacation balance with the county, but that will require a change in the city ordinance and we have received positive feedback that that is possible," said Nicole Galloway, chair of the 911 personnel transition committee. "As far as personnel transition, in the next month or so, we should have the date of the actual transition from city to county."

This flat in Dublin has been very nice. Everything was very well prepared and in an useful arrangement. Even if it was very close to the center of Dublin (walking distance) it was quiet. The flat was exactly as described on Wimdu. It was very easy to communicate with Liam and he helped us to find our way through Dublin. We can highly recomend this flat to everybody. Thanks.
Nice appartement on the ground floor well equipped and fitted out. Supermarket neaby. Friendly owner. Bus stop nearby. Nice trip!
Very nice apartment, comfortable and clean. It is very well located, 2 minutes from the bus stop and it takes only 10 minutes to reach the town centre by bus. It had everything necessary and we loved the quietness of the place. No noise at all, it was the perfect place to rest after a busy day. The host was very kind and helpful.
He even left some fruit and dairies as a welcome coutsey.
The flat is comfortable for a small family, not far from city center (about 15 min walk). Liam is very helpful and arranged taxi from and to the airport. We had a great time in Dublin and will certainly stay at Liam's house if we travel to Dublin again..
We had a marvellous stay with Liam. Great apartment, great host and a very nice person to deal with. Communication was great and we recommend both Liam as a host and the appartment as a place to stay in Dublin. The bowl of fruit and the bread stick were nice little touches.

The apartment was very nice, clean and cosy, fits two people very well. Good value for your money. City centre within easy reach, either by walking or by bus. I would definetely recommend Liam's place while staying in Dublin.
We enjoyed our stay, the apartment is perfect and fully equiped. Liam is available if needed and answer all of our questions.
liam war immer sehr hilfsbereit und gab uns wertvolle tipps. Bei einer kleinen reklamation reagierte er sofort. Die unterkunft ist sehr ruhig und gemütlich. Vor dem haus liegt die bushaltestation mit dem linienbus 46A, der einen schnell in das zentrum bringt. Aber auch zu fuß ist das zentrum nur einen kleinen spaziergang weit entfernt. Der pub "cobblestone", etwa 12 minuten zu fuß entfernt, bringt allabendlich irish folk und guiness in reichlich großer menge...

UTSA Spotlight: Cristina Forbes receives nonprofit management leadership scholarship
By James M. Benavides
Public Affairs Specialist
(Jan. 29, 2009)--American Humanics, UTSA's nonprofit management certification program, awarded a Next Generation Leadership scholarship for the 2008-2009 academic year to Cristina Forbes, a UTSA senior business major.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
The NextGen award is a national competitive scholarship underwritten by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation to defray tuition and other college expenses for students studying nonprofit management. Forbes will receive $4,500.
"Scholarships like NextGen enable talented students to enter the underserved and understaffed nonprofit sector," said Molly Cox, UTSA senior program coordinator for American Humanics.
Forbes has chosen to participate in an internship at Mission Road Ministries, a nonprofit organization serving more than 600 children and adults with mental retardation and other developmental disabilities. The organization assists clients through residential and day services and vocational programs to help them gain independence, productivity and inclusion in the community.
"We are not just individuals going about our daily lives, but are part of something bigger," said Forbes. "Making a positive impact in other's lives motivates me daily."
American Humanics is a national alliance of colleges, universities and nonprofits dedicated to preparing the next generation of nonprofit sector leaders.
"Young professionals are often dissuaded by the prospects of unpaid internships or low-pay positions upon entering the nonprofit sector," said Cox. "That's a misconception. Many nonprofit organizations realize that student interns must forgo hours they could spend at a regular job. They are offering paid internships or stipend positions. The nonprofit sector is definitely a viable career path, even when staring down student loan debt."
Cox cites Bureau of Labor Statistics materials that show full-time nonprofit professionals often earning higher hourly wages than their corporate sector counterparts. Additionally, the increased number of baby boomers retiring is creating an institutional leadership gap. According to Cox, this gap creates demand for competent, certified nonprofit professionals who can fill those roles.
"Nonprofits must continue to staff their agencies and provide services regardless of economic conditions," she said. "If anything, the current economy is creating demand for nonprofit services."
UTSA's American Humanics nonprofit management minor is open to all majors. It requires three business courses (accounting, management and marketing), two nonprofit courses (nonprofit management and fundraising), a 300-hour internship with a nonprofit organization and attending at least one of the annual American Humanics Management Institute (AHMI) educational symposiums. UTSA is one of only three universities in Texas offering the American Humanics certification for undergraduates.
American Humanics is accepting applications for the 2009-2010 academic year. For information, contact Molly Cox at (210) 458-2691.

there's always screen printing with underglazes. Would that work for what you want to do?
It would work, but I just want to be able to stick something on the piece and be done with it. Not fuss with underglazes.

Rumors flying that Mark Barron has suffered a sports hernia which will drop him in the draft. He could definitely be an option for us now if we wanted to take a shot at the top safety in the draft. He could have gone pro last year as well but he tore a pectoral muscle in the final regular season game.
Barron and Brandon Boykin are 2 great secondary players coming off injuries that we could probably get at a great value. Boykin could also be a great return guy.

INTERPOL Firearms Reference Table (IFRT)
The INTERPOL Firearms Reference Table (IFRT) is an interactive online tool available to authorized users via INTERPOL's restricted website.
It utilizes a standardized methodology to identify and describe firearms, and enables an investigator to obtain or verify the details of a firearm – including the make, model, calibre and serial number.
This information is regularly updated in consultation with firearm experts. INTERPOL also welcomes input from the law enforcement community to identify additional firearms for inclusion in the IFRT.
The IFRT contains:
- More than 250,000 firearm references;
- More than 57, 000 firearm images;
- Extensive information on firearm markings including trademarks, logos and insignias;
- Thousands of useful definitions and terms for firearm parts, accessories, functions and processes;
- Company histories;
- Acronyms;
- Manufacturers' codes.
The proper identification and description of a specific firearm is a fundamental aspect of a firearm-related crime investigation, and significantly increases the chances of acquiring firearm ownership history through an international trace request.
As such, we recommend that all iARMS users consult the IFRT in order to verify the unique identifiers of a firearm for which a search will be conducted, or for which a trace request will be created.
What data is shared?
No data is shared through the IFRT as it is a reference tool. INTERPOL does, however, encourage users of the tool to provide us with information when the user identifies that a known firearm cannot be found in the IFRT. This voluntary process involves the submission of detailed information on the firearm, including close-up and detailed photographs of the firearm from various angles showings its pertinent characteristics.

In Tampa, Mitt Romney officially accepts the Republican Presidential nomination.
Cue the balloons! Drop the confetti! On Thursday, a party atmosphere prevailed in Tampa, Florida, as Mitt Romney officially accepted the Republican Party's nomination for President of the United States.
Romney's address was the most anticipated of the three-day political event. In it, Romney made the case for why Americans should reject President Barack Obama and elect him as the country's next leader. "President Obama promised to begin to slow the rise of the oceans and to heal the planet," he said, echoing a 2008 Obama speech. "My promise is to help you and your family."
Romney explained that his success in business made him the right choice for a country struggling with high unemployment. The latest figures released by the U.S. Department of Labor show that 12.8 million Americans are out of work.
"What Americans need is jobs, lots of jobs," Romney told the crowd gathered at the Tampa Bay Times Forum for the Republican National Convention. He said that he had a plan to create 12 million of them. He promised to put unemployed Americans back to work, to balance the budget and to give parents a say in where they send their children to school.
Who is Romney?
Willard Mitt Romney was born March 12, 1947, in Detroit, Michigan. His parents, George and Lenore, had four kids. Mitt is the youngest. In 1969, Mitt married Ann Davies. At the time, they were both students at Brigham Young University, in Utah. The couple later moved to Massachusetts, where Romney attended Harvard Law School and Harvard Business School. He went on to have a career in business, helping to start such companies as Sports Authority and the office-supply store, Staples. From 2003 to 2007, Romney served as Governor of Massachusetts.
But Romney had ambitions for even higher office. In 2008, he ran for the GOP nomination for President. Romney lost that bid to Arizona Senator John McCain. McCain faced off against Barack Obama, who was then serving as a U.S. Senator from Illinois. This time around, Republicans are determined to win the White House.
What Happens Next?
Next week, Democrats will hold their convention in Charlotte, North Carolina. They will officially name Barack Obama and Joe Biden as their party's candidates for President and Vice President. TFK will be at the convention.
From now until Election Day, November 6, it will be a race to the finish to see who will be elected the country's President. Who would you pick? To vote in TFK's election poll, go to timeforkids.com/election12.

Students in the automotive technology program at the Saline County Career Center will
Students will work in three-men teams, changing tires around similar to a NASCAR pit crew. Each team will complete a series of tasks, including jacking up the car, removing and replacing tires and tightening lug nuts -- as fast as they can.
Competitions will take place Nov. 17 at the Saline County Career Center in Bauxite located at 3201 South Reynolds Road, on the former campus of Alcoa Reynolds.
Two competitions will be held -- at 9 a.m. for the morning classes and at 1 p.m. for the afternoon classes.
"They have worked hard to increase their speed while using safe practices," said Mary Jane Dove, the center's director.
"We've got some teams down to two minutes," Woodard said. "It's a fun competition, and they're honing their skills, too. We have students who are interested in that kind of work. They have aspirations of working on race cars, so we try to expose them to different kinds of experiences."
The Saline County Career Center, a division of Pulaski Technical College, offers secondary career programs for high school. Programs are offered in automotive technology, cosmetology and medical professions education.
About 80 students from Benton, Bryant and Bauxite high schools are enrolled in the automotive technology program.
Students learn tasks essential for entry-level work in the automotive technology field, such as mounting and balancing tires, diagnosing and repairing brake systems, changing fluids, diagnosing and repairing parts of a suspension system, diagnosing simple electronic circuits for faults, and minor engine diagnosis.
The program recently gained certification by the National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation in the areas of brakes, electrical electronics systems, engine performance, and suspension and steering.

Nice Apartement. In a nice Barrio de Buenos Aires. With all the Busses and the Subte you can go easily to each Place in BA. The Barrio Boedo is not so Touristic like San Telmo and other Hotspots. A nice place to start and end your trips through BA. I did not meet Egle myself, but her Emails with recommendations were very helpful to find my way in this big City.
Excelent, very clean and modern apartment wiht a attentive and helpful doorman (who was very patient with my poor Spanish). Egle gave good recommendations for BA (both concerning tourist related things, but also practical issues). We enjoyed the neighborhood, which felt very genuine and safe.
You ask for the third time for a review. I have already sent two times a judgment, including a thank-mail Egle. Where that have remained a raadssel?
We have had it good in BA Boedo 662 3d.
A beautiful room, kitchen and balcony, with all basic amenities. We are very satisfied. The location was also ideal. The metro and buses in the street. We have a lot from the information that Egle sent us through the mail.
Thanks, thanks!
John Bekkers
U vraagt voor de derde keer om een beoordeling. Ik heb reeds 2 keer een beoordeling gestuurd alsook een bedankmail aan Egle. Waar die gebleven zijn, een raadssel?
We hebben het heel goed gehad in B.A in Boedo 662 3d.
Een mooie kamer, keuken en balkon, met alle basisvoorzieningen. We zijn zeer tevreden. De ligging was ook ideaal. De metro en bussen in de straat. We hebben veel gehad aan de informatie die Egle ons stuurde via de mail.
Dank, dank!

AOL was proud to continue the bold and important conversations started at the 2010 TED Women conference by live-streaming TEDxWomen yesterday. Hundreds of AOLers gathered in 17 offices worldwide to watch luminaries such as best-selling author Rachel Simmons and New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof speak on combating continued gender inequality.
The speakers hailed from a variety of backgrounds, giving audiences a wide look at what people are currently doing to help both men and women be happier, healthier and more effective. Cedars-Sinai Women's Heart Center director Dr. Noel Merz dazzled the audience with her revolutionary approach to female cardiac health, showing us that even stem cells have drastic gender differences. Renowned activist Gloria Steinem applauded the gathering, reminding the audience that feminism's success requires a strong community.
Tan Le (a must-see speaker, to watch another one of her talks click here) had tears in her eyes as she delivered her incredible and moving story of escaping poverty in Vietnam by taking a dangerous boat ride towards a more promising future in Australia. Her story of international success as an entrepreneur is an inspiration to anyone who wants to bring about change.
Finally, Jennifer Siebel Newsom had a crucial message for those of us in the media industry. If we want girls to grow up with the same ambitions as boys (a hurdle sometimes more insidious and pervasive than lack of opportunity), we have to portray both genders as having the same potential in the media. "We can't imagine what we can't see," she reminded us, underscoring the outsized effect that mainstream media's obsession with youth, beauty and materialism has on young girls. This is a particularly important takeaway for all of us at AOL, where we can have a huge impact on gender representation in the content we're creating.
For those of you that missed the talks, be sure to check back regularly on the TED website where the videos will be posted. You can also follow yesterday's conversation on Twitter under the hashtag #tedxwomen.

My bees survived last winter succesfully, but this year's hive now shows no signs of life. I prepared the hive in the same way, with plenty of food, upper entrance, bees from a mite-resistant Russian queen, and medication, although this year I did not use apistan strips.
I'm very surprised that my bees seem to have died so early in the winter. Does anyone have any ideas about what's happening?

이 호스트의 또 다른 숙소후기
I booked the property for my friends, who were in trouble - already approaching Stuttgart, but in turned out that their Wimdu booking had been turned down without them noticing. Dagmar reacted very quickly after my request and and we can't thank her enough.
So what I heard: The flat was nice, location quite good and free parking was marvellous.
My wife and I spent one night, in a clean, tastefully furnished room with kitchen and modern bathroom. We even had our own little terrace. We had a little trouble getting the key out of the safe, but Dagmar was immediately to hand to help us out. Parking was no problem.
But for the fact that the accommodation turned out to be a hostel, we loved the location. Sharing bathroom and toilet with 5 other guests is a bit tasteless and we wanted double bed and not 2 single beds side by side. We made the best of it and loved it. Was a brief stay anyway.
We had very comfortable stay. The apartment was near the station, and easy to find. From the station, we can get many U-bahn. The room, the kitchen and the bathroom were clean. Thank you, Ms. Dagmar.
Apartment conditions are pretty good, and reception of Dagmar was very good too. The only drawback is the length of hot water, use a tank that ends very quickly, just to clean a few dishes or showering for 1 minute.
New bedroom and nice furnitures. Friendly and helpfull proprietress
Good room and location.
very good! we liked
Couple of days after booking the apartment I was informed by Dagmar that the apartment was not available. Nevertheless Dagmar offered another one that was at least of the same size and standard. She also provided photos of the other apartment within no time. The house in which was the apartment was not directly by the main street therefore it was very quiet (no noise from cars at all). Handing over the keys was just a question of one phone call and took just few minutes; keys were handed over by a very helpful friend of Dagmar that explained everything in very pleasant way. Communication was perfect (I always got answer within few minutes or max. hours). Apartment was clean, newly furnished, modern, floor heating that could be set by ourselves according to our need of heat :), nice spacious bathroom, basic but absolutely sufficient kitchen. Perfect connection to the Messe (13 min. to the Messe West gate), bus stop about 5 min. walk, perfect connection to the center (both U and S-bahn within 5 min. walk). Parking in surrounding area was not a problem, there were several free spaces even late at night, which is not usual in other parts of Stuttgart, I assume. Internet connection (sufficient speed and stable) was provided for free (which is a standard today) via LAN cable. The only thinks I could think of for improving is the kitchen utensils where was missing a sharp knife or any knife actually (the Swiss knife does not count for me:)) and replacing the LAN connection by WIFI (was not problem for me but might be for someone :)). I would definitively recommend this accommodation to anyone without any hesitation.
I loved staying here. It was very clean, quiet and relaxing. The whole place still smells new. Nice bed and modern ftlatscreen.

2 days ago I split a hive, took the top brood box and placed it with a new top and bottom about 20 feet away, I THOUGHT they would realize they did not have a queen and therefore requeen themselves. I watched the hive I split and the bees are just flying back and forth to the old hive. What do I need to do?
Buy a queen and put her into the new hive? or something else, I don't know.
They are eating about a quart of syrup a day(the new queenless hive). If I order a new queen and introduce her to the new hive will they stop flying back to there old hive? Any help would be appreciated.

When my very O/C neighbour got upset about a swarm in a tree in his yard, I did not say they were my bees (could have been from anywhere) but obviously he was convinced the nearest hive, mine, was the origin (and it might have been...no one saw where they came from). I was able to quickly call one of our two local Master Beekeepers (if it had been a weekday I could also have given him the local state apiculturalist's number), who came to retrieve the swarm, which within the hour it took for her to arrive had dissipated. I left him with a contact list for any future incidents.
There is also a list of local beekeepers who will come retrieve swarms.
I too will have to find an outyard to expand my hobby. I don't mind that but I do want to keep one hive here at home as I love to watch the bees.
Which is all by way of saying....in these incidents never admit it is or may be your bees unless there is concrete evidence it WAS your bees, but offer all the arm's length help possible as a gesture of good will. Neutrality is important...suggest remedies that the homeowner can take if possible, and offer to find them help for swarm retrieval if you can. Sympathize but do not apologize.

By Scott Goldfine · November 10, 2013
The November issue of SSI includes coverage of this year's CSAA Five Diamond Marketing Marvel award-winner, Metrodial Corp., as well as runner-up Engineered Protection Systems (EPS). As a bonus, executives from each company are featured in a pair of Under Surveillance blogs. Below in this second one, EPS Director of Business Development David Hood discusses how his company achieves marketing success, tips for other providers, and a look at general industry challenges and opportunities. EPS was also a runner-up for this year's Police Dispatch Quality (PDQ) Award.
What were the drivers in EPS deciding to participate for Marketing Marvel consideration?
David Hood: We understand the value of using the CSAA Five-Diamond certification to our advantage. To that end, we believe our use of the certification within our marketing plan fit very well with the marketing marvel distinction. Our use of the Five-Diamond certification is unique and the Five-Diamond certification is a large part of that.
What is the company's general philosophy or approach to marketing initiatives and expenditures?
Hood: EPS stresses two core concepts when it comes to marketing the brand: one, we are a local company who has been doing what we do for over 50 years; two, we are a highly certified security provider with a collection of engineering and technical prowess exclusive to EPS. Following that philosophy, the next goal is to harness the creative logo and brand EPS has built over decades in the market. Lastly, we are diligent in tracking any available marketing metrics. This allows us to continue to mold our marketing materials and programs toward fulfilling carefully designed and obtainable business goals.
How are decisions reached about what the best marketing methods materials?
Hood: There is certainly some experimentation with EPS marketing methods, but we are careful not to stray too far from a brand which has great recognition. The EPS logo and color scheme allows for a variety of creative design. This lends itself to a brand that is easily transferred from print, to online media, to promotional material. Ultimately, the EPS marketing team is able to quickly react to a marketing opportunity while keeping the brands integrity intact.
How do you judge whether a marketing initiative or materials are successful or not?
Hood: The end-game for marketing is to increase the quantity and quality of sales leads. For that reason we go out of our way to ask a simple question to all prospective customers, "How did you hear about EPS?" With a response rate of about 40%, it's easy to relevantly associate simple responses to what marking initiatives or materials may, or may not, be working. Campaigns and programs are also evaluated throughout and after implementation to discover and define any opportunities for improvement. This includes everything from the media used, to the copy chosen, and the timeframe in which the project was implemented.
What are some other specific marketing items that have proved beneficial for EPS and why?
Hood: Recently, there are three examples of marketing programs which we believe have been very successful. First and foremost, the EPS marketing team goes out of its way to participate in large community events where a security company like EPS can fit a relevant role. These events reach thousands of people and provide a possible one-on-one conversation about life safety and our services. They are also powerful for expanding and penetrating the EPS brand. Secondly, EPS has spent a lot of effort into regional billboard campaigns. The area's in which EPS serves happen to be incredibly successful billboard markets. We have partnered with award-winning creative teams to come up with simple, yet powerful creative to reach a critical part of a prospective customer's day; when they are away from their home or business. Lastly, in 2013 EPS redesigned and refined the technology involved with our Web site. This has proven to be instantly successful by internal measurements of around 100%. A lot of hard work and conversation went into creating a lead-generating Web site and its most certainly paying off.
What have been some of the greatest challenges in creating and distributing these materials?
Hood: One distinct challenge has been penetration into smaller markets where some strategies simply are not as effective. These areas are where the most experimentation takes place. Fortunately, we have discovered some strategies that have success.
Who produces your materials, is it an internal function, outsourced? Why?
Hood: Before 2013, almost all marketing materials were outsourced to local business partners. During Q1 of 2013 much of the month-to-month and recurring marketing design was brought in-house. This helped increase production of marketing material while ultimately decreasing the overall cost of design.
What is your opinion of the electronic security industry's marketing sophistication? What advice would you offer a company on a limited budget looking to market itself in this industry?
Hood: The security industry continues to evolve in not only technology but marketing efforts as well. A great amount of consumer interest is on remote connectivity and lifestyle solutions. Our industry is marketing with this particular focus. If you are on a limited budget, you must develop a strong "go-to market" strategy and stick with it; don't spread yourself too thin by trying to do everything.
What does it mean to you to be runner-up for the second Marketing Marvel Award? Do you believe your approach/plan should serve as a blueprint for other companies to follow?
Hood: For EPS, it means that we are recognized for being an effective and proficient advocate of one of our cornerstone certifications. We believe it's a critical part of our marketing strategy and being recognized by CSAA shows the perception is mutual. As far as other companies, it's hard to say. Some specific uses, such as print and Web site inclusion, could be easily mimicked in a universal fashion, yet others may be hard to implement as they are squarely unique to EPS.

Easton EC90 SL Riser Handlebar - $119.96
While Easton's EC90 Flat Handlebar is the undisputed featherweight champion of XC bars, it's a pure racer's tool. This Easton EC90 SL Carbon Riser Bar is a slightly more comfortable way to go, while only giving up 25g -- the mighty heft of an energy gel.Just like its flat brother, Easton's EC90 SL Carbon Riser Bar still benefits from brand-exclusive EC90 SL Carbon and from the TaperWall technology that is elemental to their superior layup. In a bar this light, that's critical; voids and pockets are invitations for a carbon bar to become brittle over time. TaperWall is really Easton's way of precisely allocating every microgram of fiber in its bars, putting more material in key locations for reinforcing, and it's how they carefully slim down elsewhere for weight savings. With the smoothest and cleanest possible layup, the EC90 Riser Bar will be the ultimate in durability for such a light weight bar.As for the aforementioned comfort benefits of the Easton EC90 SL Carbon Riser Bar, it not only gets a 20mm rise, but at 635mm, is also 45mm wider (1.75 inches) than the EC90 Flat Handlebar. That'll give you better steering control as well as put you in a more upright position for marathon-distance racing or for long throw downs on the trail when you're not wearing a number, but given the pace, sure should be.The EC90 SL Carbon Riser Bar is made of Easton EC90 SL Carbon. It comes in a 635mm width and has a 31.8mm clamp diameter. It has a 9 degree backsweep, 5 degree upsweep, and comes in a uni-directional Matte Carbon Black finish. Application: XC/Trail - $119.96

Use Dr. Seuss' whimsical books to set the stage for introducing biblical wisdom to children with these 6 Sunday School Lessons Based on Dr. Seuss Books. Find more great Sunday school lessons to help kids grow in their faith.
The whimsical world of Dr. Seuss has entertained and educated children and adults for the last 64 years with stories that rhyme and charismatic characters who delight their listening audience. Underneath the silliness, Dr. Seuss' stories tend to shed light on human nature and the world we live in. They can also be used to relate the gospel and biblical wisdom in a colorful way.
So…when you find you're in the mood to run and play, when rhyming sounds like just the plan for the day, take these lessons that can't be beat, and let Dr. Seuss teach that the Bible is neat! You can use all these lessons for a full week of summer camp. Or use a lesson every now and then to reinforce a Sunday school lesson that has the same theme.
Sharing Jesus
From The Book — "Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him" (Psalm 34:8).
Here's the Hook — Kids will learn about sharing Jesus with others and trying something different.
You'll need two plates of mashed potatoes — one white and one mixed with green food coloring.
Ask kids which plate of mashed potatoes they'd rather eat. Tell them you're going to read Green Eggs and Ham, and you'll need a volunteer during the story to take a bite of the white mashed potatoes every time the man in the book says, "I do not like them, Sam-I-am." Every time he says, "I like green eggs and ham!" the volunteer will take a bite out of the green potatoes.
For just $6.67 a month, your next 12 parent newsletters are done! Subscribe today and start getting the ease and professionalism of the Parenting Christian Kids newsletter for your families.
Read the book Green Eggs and Ham. After you've read the story, ask, "Why do you think Sam wanted to share the green eggs and ham with his friend? Why didn't his friend want to try them? Do you think you'd want to try green eggs and ham? Why or why not? When was the first time you heard about Jesus? Did you want to become Jesus' friend right away? After you discovered that Jesus was good, did you want to tell your friends? Why or why not?"
Say, "Today's verse is Psalm 34:8. It says 'Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.' Many of you have 'tasted' or tried out God's way. It may've been scary at first, but once you tried it, you liked it! You may have friends who don't know about Jesus and are scared to come to church. You need to take Jesus to them just as Sam in this story took something new to his friend!"
Eat That Food! — You'll need celery sticks, green apples, green jelly beans, peeled kiwi fruit, green M&M's candy, poster board, and a brass brad.
Cut out a poster-board circle and draw five pie sections on the circle. Write one of the above food items in each section. Draw and cut out an arrow from a different piece of poster board, and attach the arrow to the poster-board circle with a brass brad to help it spin.
Have kids take turns spinning the wheel. Wheel-spinners must eat whatever food comes up on the wheel. Play until each person has had a turn.

Lisa, I'm sending the Asian rows out tomorrow. They're labeled and sitting on the mailbox on my front porch!
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Lisa, I'm sending the Asian rows out tomorrow. They're labeled and sitting on the mailbox on my front porch!
Mischief Managed.
Excellent, Kelly. The LQS is having a sale next week and I happen to know she has some cool Asian fabrics.
Pat did you receive the quilt rows yet? They were up pose to be there on Monday?
The Asian rows are safely at my house. I really like what has been done to it so far. After seeing it, I'm thinking my original idea of appliqueing some Asian themed things really won't work. I think it would break up the more traditional blocks oddly. Now I'm thinking more traditional blocks in goregous prints. I have quite a few 2.5 inch squares of Asian prints I'd love to use. Time to play!
I am zoom-zooming along on the Asian quilt. Three blocks down; two to go. It has 42 different prints in it, but I promise it doesn't look like a fabric store explosion.
I saw some amazing koi fish fabric today in the remnant bin at my favorite LQS. I *almost* bought it and forwarded it to Lisa for whomever else still gets to work on the row. But then I saw the price tag and thought to myself, "No one needs $30 of koi fish fabric."
Mischief Managed.
Here are a few shots of Judy's quilt row. I couldn't get far enough to show the whole row at once and still show the fabric prints. I hope this is what she had in mind.
Thanks Pat I am glad you got the rows. I also got confused about sending off the blocks so I sent out early as well! Don't know what happened but I will try not to do that on the next rows! Lisa your fabrics for the Asian rows are absolutely beautiful! I can't wait till I getto see it I person!
