My Applications
Drive a 7-Segment LED with an Arduino0
Last week I took a day off work and started experimenting with Arduino. Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform that enables anyone to create interactive objects. During the week I started doing basic stuff using simple components such as blinking LEDs and playing tunes with a buzzer, and yesterday I experimented with multiple LEDs. After that I wanted to try and do something with a 7-Segment LED display so I found this tutorial that enabled me to make the circuit and learn the code that should drive the display.
Unfortunately the provided code did not work and I had to modify a lot of parts to finally get the display to work. I had to invert the "HIGH" and "LOW" params in all the function calls and change the way the constants are defined in the beginning.
I can't really explain to you why there is such a difference between my working code and the code provided in the article I based myself on since I'm still a beginner. I might be using a different display and a different version of the IDE. When I'm advanced enough to figure that out I'll make sure to update the article. If you can explain the reason to me please do so in the comments.
Here's the updated code, I also created an additional function that plays a little "snake" animation on the display. (more…)
A Digital Ruler3
A lot of time when I am modifying or making a site, I need to get the width and height of a certain area of the screen. Usually I used to take a screenshot of the screen, go to photoshop and cut the area I need to see the size of it, but that used to take time so yesterday I made this little tool that does the job for me.
It is a window with an empty area in it, just put the window around anything you want to measure and it will give you the size of it directly (in Pixels). You can also set the window to take a certain size you need or change its color.
Here's a Picture of the Digital Ruler running:
To download and run the program you need to agree to its EULA, If the program doesn't run you probably don't have the .Net Framework 2.0 (available in most computers running Vista and XP) so download it from here.
Morse Code Translator V1.06
Morse Code Translator V1.0 is a small and easy to use program I wrote last semester that can translate text to and from Morse code, The program can also "read" Morse code and convert existing Morse code to a code that can be understood by it.
Screen shot:
-Text Input and Output
You can modify Input text in different ways:
1- Directly writing in the text-box.
2- Paste input text by pressing CTRL+V or by going to Edit > Paste Input.
3- By selecting "Clear Input text" in the "After Conversion settings"
4- By selecting "Clear Input" in the Edit Menu.
You can use the Output text in different ways:
1- By selecting "Cut Output" and "Copy Output" in the Edit Menu
2- By selecting "Clear Output" in the Edit Menu.
3- By selecting "Copy Output text" in the "After Conversion settings"
First you must choose the type of translation (Morse to Text or Text to Morse) after that you can change those settings:
A- Morse Code to use:
1- Letters and Numerals (A to Z, 0 to 9) will be used by default during translations; all other letters will be replaced by a character or a word you choose.
This option cannot be deselected
2- You can choose to deselect the usage of Punctuation and Prosigns, if you do this all other letters will be replaced by a character or a word you choose.
B- Character replacement
If the program doesn't recognize a letter during translation it will replace with a word or a sign of your choice, you can select one of the preset words or letters or enter your personal replacement.
C- After Conversion
After the program finishes converting the text, it can perform any operation chosen at this point, if you select "Copy Morse Code" it will copy the generated translation, if you choose "Clear Input Text" it will clear the input text
M-Player is a little tool that allows you to play the Morse Code, to use it select where it should read from and press play.
Note that once Morse Playing starts, it cannot be stopped. (Will be fixed in an upcoming version)
-Morse Code Converter
Morse Code Converter is a tool that lets you convert any Morse Code to a Morse Code that can be used in the Morse Code Translator.
You can choose the Auto Conversion Mode, in this mode the Converter will try to detect each character and convert it, If this mode doesn't work, you can choose your settings manually.
The converted code will be pasted in the Input Box of the Morse Code Converter.
-Minimum Requirements:
To run the Morse Code Translator you must have the .Net Framework (Already available in most computers running XP and Vista) so download it if the program doesn't start.
Please use the comment section to ask a question about the Morse Code Translator.
To Use the program you must agree to its EULA.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
If you have a team that is under .500, then you are going to need a small miracle to make the playoffs. If you feel you are in good position, then I say it is time to look at the many weeks ahead and look at all the matchups your players will be facing. Preparing in the present will equal success in the future.
Kansas City Chiefs QB Brodie Croyle is not playing another game in 2008 thanks to a sprained knee he suffered in the loss to the Titans last Sunday. Tyler Thigpen seems to be the starter for Sunday because Damon Huard is also banged up with a thumb injury.
New Orleans Saints WR Marques Colston, coming off of surgery for a torn thumb ligament, returned to action last Sunday. It was an uneventful return as he caught zero passes and had zero total yards on the day.
New Orleans Saints RB Reggie Bush injured his knee and underwent surgery after injuring it on Sunday against the Panthers. Early reports indicate that Bush will miss an extended period of time.
Now for the ups and downs of Week 7…
Steven Jackson (RB), St. Louis Rams: Jackson looked great on Sunday with 160 rush yds and 3 TD.
Calvin Johnson (WR), Detroit Lions: Johnson didn't seem to be missing Roy Williams or Jon Kitna when he caught 2 passes for 154 yds and a TD.
LenDale White (RB), Tennessee Titans: White had the best game of his young career with 149 rush yds and 3 TD.
LaDainian Tomlinosn (RB), San Diego Chargers: LT couldn't produce another big week as he only amassed 67 total yds on Sunday.
Frank Gore (RB), San Francisco 49ers: Gore finally hit a wall this season when he rushed for only 11 yds and had 50 receiving yds.
Reggie Wayne (WR), Indianapolis Colts: Wayne couldn't get off the ground when he hauled in two catches for a dismal 24 yds.
Visanthe Shiancoe (TE), Minnesota Vikings: I don't know how to pronounce his name but, what I do know is that he caught his 3rd TD of the season to go with his 68 yds on Sunday.
Josh Morgan (WR), San Francisco 49ers: Morgan had a breakout game with 5 catches for 86 yds and a TD.
Matt Cassel (QB), New England Patriots: Cassel doubled his season total for passing TD when he threw for 3 TD in the win over the Broncos on Monday night.

I would like to state that I would have had more than 74 points if a substitution I attempted would have worked (or if I would have made sure it did at 4 in the morning).
I picked up Mewelde Moore when I heard about Larry Johnson going to be inactive and thought I had put him into the lineup Thursday night. However, I was incorrect and Moore ended up with 3 TDs and 31.4 fantasy points on the bench while I got 0.0 from Johnson.
If I would have lost, I would have been extremely pissed off, but against Jeff and his 2 hurt QBs and 3 bye weeks for players in the starting lineup, it made no difference.
– Shotgun
Shotgun you make a good case…you still go lucky though.
And pete – no need to worry about being 3-4. With one more win, you're in 4th place (where you should be), so it's not a big deal yet. If you were two games back, then that would be bush league.
I am having major WR trouble though. See, I knew Houshmandzadeh and Ocho Cinco would be my downfall.
I didnt even want them! Dammit!!!!
What's the matter KC? No Tavaris Jackson defense this week?

PortraitMarianne H. Marchand is Professor of International Relations and the Coordinator of the Canadian Studies Progam in the Department of International Relations and Political Science at the Universidad de las Americas Puebla, Mexico. Anne Sisson Runyan is Professor of Women's Studies and former Head of the Department of Women's Gender, and Sexuality Studies at the University of Cincinnati, USA.
PressestimmenPraise for first edition: 'This exciting collection fills an urgent need. Theorists of International Political Economy (IPE) typically neglect gender, and feminists too often neglect the Global Political Economy. In contrast, this major work brings the cutting edges of IPE and feminist scholarship into productive relation, affording not only thoughtful and thought-provoking case studies but also fresh analytical insights and conceptual breakthroughs. It demands the attention of IR theorists, political economists, feminists and all who seek to understand global restructuring and possibilities for social justice.' - Professor V. Spike Peterson, University of Arizona, USA 'This is a groundbreaking edited volume in its efforts to reveal the complex multidimensional linkages between everyday lives and transformations in subjectivities, markets, societies and states.' - Christine B.N Chin, Assistant Professor of International Relations, American University, Washington Praise for second edition: 'This volume points us to important issues and moments in the trajectory of contemporary globalisation, capturing issues many other writers ignore ... the chapters give much food for thought, and demonstrate the originality and creativity of gender analysis.' - Ruth Pearson, Gender and Development, Vol. 19, 2, July 2011 'A new edition from Marchand and Runyan is cause for celebration. They and their smart contributors show us here so graphically that the surprising twists and turns of today's globalizing trends cannot be realistically tracked without taking women's working lives and political resistances seriously.' - Cynthia Enloe, author of Nimo's War, Emma's War: Making Feminist Sense of the Iraq War 'Bringing together leading scholars in international political economy, Gender and Global Restructuring illuminates the changing effects of neoliberal economic policies on the governance of intimacy, family formation, and the production of raced, gendered, sexualized identities. Sweeping in scope, the volume provides new insights into the complex dynamics of nationstates, international institutions, and transnational social movements as they grapple with increasing inequalities in the twenty-first century.' - Mary Hawkesworth, Rutgers University, Editor, Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society 'An important and timely reconsideration of the ways in which global restructuring includes the restructuring of the 'intimate'. As the cases in this volume remind us, reconfigurations of neoliberalism involve not only structural-level phenomena, but processes that both impact and depend upon subjects and subjectivities, race, gender and sexuality. This is particularly important not only in thinking through global restructuring in the post-9/11 era of economic dislocation and collapse, but as is demonstrated throughout this collection, it is central as well in locating sites of resistance.' - Sandra Whitworth, Editor, International Feminist Journal of Politics, Professor of Political Science, York University, Canada

Dublin Police Arrest Suspected Scammers
Police in Dublin have arrested three people suspected in a hotel scam.
Douglas Hart faces charges of theft by deception, attempted theft by deception and obstructing official business.
Andrea Tackett and Princess Harmon face complicity to theft charges.
Police said they were contacted by a clerk at the Holiday Inn at 5500 Tuttle Crossing.
The clerk reported getting a phone call from someone claiming to be a manager.
Clerk Chanel McDougle said she was working overnight when a woman called her Dublin Holiday Inn with an unusual request.
"She pretended to be my manager, and she said, 'Give this guy all the money in the cash drawer,'" McDougle said. "That doesn't happen. We don't give cash refunds."
That person reportedly claimed to be sending someone over to pick up some cash.
Suspicious, she said she locked the front doors and called her boss and police.
"I'm like, 'Give me one second, I'm on the phone with a manager trying to get you a refund,'" she said. "He stood there for about 10 minutes. When he saw the police, he bolted off."
When officers arrived, they chased Hart about half a mile before catching and arresting him.
The two women were also taken into custody and charged.
Police also found a large amount of cash stashed under a seat in a nearby van.
Officers say the cash came from the Extended Stay America hotel, which is next door to the Holiday Inn at 5530 Tuttle Crossing.
Police are investigating if the suspects are linked to any other crimes.
Hart and Tackett currently are in jail, and Harmon was taken to an area hospital after saying she has a medical condition.
This is not the first time Hart and Harmon have been in trouble.
In November, Hart was accused of crashing an SUV into a southwest Columbus home and fleeing the scene.
In December, he and Harmon were arrested by Sunbury police for allegedly trying to scam a Kroger store out of cash.
After Wednesday's arrest, Dublin police have contacted a number of law enforcement agencies investigating similar cases.

The Middle Miocene Climatic Optimum (16 to 14 million years ago), considered generally to be the warmest period in Earth's history within the past 25 million years, saw a major shift in climate from global warming to cooling.
This reversal of climatic warming has proven difficult to understand because of the limited range of available records. The first records of this time interval from the Congo Fan, West Africa, may shed light on the events preceding the major cooling at 14 million years ago. The results of Kender et al. reveal two acidification events in the deep sea off West Africa about 16 and 15.5 million years ago, coincident with massive flood basalt release in the Columbia River basin, USA. The Columbia River Flood Basalts represent the largest group of eruptions to occur on Earth since the Paleogene, over 50 million years ago, and Kender et al. now suggest that they had a significant effect on the climate at this time.
The acidification events, which dissolved carbonate organisms on the seafloor, probably resulted from the accumulation of dead organic matter on the seafloor. Stronger offshore winds and increased primary productivity in the surface ocean off the west coast of Africa is likely to account for the accumulation and burial of this organic matter, which ultimately removed CO2 from the atmosphere, leading to long-term cooling.
The implications of this study are that Columbia River volcanism likely triggered climatic cooling by sulphuric acid-induced volcanic winters, which would have increased the tradewinds off West Africa and, in turn, fertilized the ocean by transporting more nutrients such as sulphates to the ocean.
Large extinctions in deep-sea organisms (benthic foraminifera) associated with this time interval imply that increasing ocean productivity may have dramatic consequences for ocean ecology.
This reseach by S. Kender et al. of the British Geological Survey is published in the August issue of Geology on pages 699-702.

DAVID Cameron will arrive in Glasgow East today to deride Labour for treating the voters of Glasgow East "like fools" and for relying on a "fifth-choice" candidate in this month's crucial by-election.
The Conservative leader will make the first of what is expected to be a series of visits to the Glasgow East constituency during the campaign.
Even though the Tories are not anywhere close to challenging for the seat, Mr Cameron is aware of how important the by-election is.
A Labour defeat to the SNP would give the Nationalists a massive boost, but it would also help the Conservatives because it would result in massive repercussions within the Labour Party and possibly the removal of the Prime Minister.
Mr Cameron, however, was keen to play down the importance of this by-election for Gordon Brown's future last night.
"This election must be about what we can all do for the people of this part of Glasgow and not about the future of any party or politician," he said.
But he was equally keen to highlight Labour's problems in the seat, which were worsened by the decision of George Ryan, a local councillor, to withdraw as a potential candidate.
Margaret Curran, the MSP for Glasgow Baillieston, agreed to stand in Mr Ryan's place, but only after the candidacy was declined by Stephen Purcell, the Labour leader of Glasgow council, and Frank McAveety, the MSP for Glasgow Shettleston.
Ms Curran's decision to stand in Glasgow East all but rules her out of the race to be the party's leader in Scotland. Her decision makes it likely that the party leadership will be a straight contest between Iain Gray, the former enterprise minister, and Cathy Jamieson, the former justice minister and deputy party leader.
Mr Gray has the support of Alistair Darling, the Chancellor, as well as a number of MSPs and is on the centre right of the party. Ms Jamieson is from the Left and has strong support among the unions.
However, Mr Cameron said it was clear that Ms Curran was Labour's fifth choice for the seat.
"Labour is treating the voters of Glasgow East like fools," he said.
The SNP also hit out at Labour, pointing out that some Labour MSPs had criticised Alex Salmond in the past for his "dual mandate" – remaining as an MP and an MSP until the next election – but they would have to change their message if Ms Curran was elected as the MP for Glasgow East.
Ms Curran has made it clear she will stay on as an MSP until 2011 if she wins in Glasgow East later this month.
The SNP's Westminster leader, Angus Robertson, said yesterday: "Labour are treating the people of Glasgow East with contempt – and the people will have their say on 24 July, and the opportunity to elect an SNP MP who is on their side."
But David Cairns, the Scotland Office minister, hit back for Labour by blaming the Conservatives for problems in Glasgow East and criticising Mr Cameron, who will be touring the constituency with former leader Iain Duncan Smith, who started an initiative to help tackle the worst urban poverty in Britain after visiting Easterhouse.
Mr Cairns said: "The Tories devastated the East End in the 1980s and voted against measures to help people here like the minimum wage, tax credits and pension credits.
"Iain Duncan Smith may be sincere, but he is wrong. His party put thousands of local people on to long-term sickness benefits and was happy to leave them there.
"Labour is getting people off benefits and into work."
However, Labour also came under attack from the Left as Frances Curran, the Scottish Socialist candidate in Glasgow East, accused New Labour of "offering part-time representatives" to the people of the East End.
She said: "Desperate Labour bosses faced panic among potential candidates as one after another refused to face the voters.
"By asking Margaret Curran to stand, arrogant Labour chiefs are trying to impose a part-time MP and MSP on the area which, as one of the most deprived, needs a full-time voice in both parliaments.
"The truth is that Labour is running scared from voters who they have taken for granted for years and who are now feeling the heat of soaring prices and falling living standards.
" A vote for the Scottish Socialist Party will also be a warning shot to Alex Salmond that he needs to deliver for working people before the interests of rich business men like Trump."
Selection debacle has piled on the woes for party
IT WAS, sniped Alex Salmond, Labour's "lost weekend". The party had lost its leader in Scotland, it didn't have a candidate for the Glasgow East by-election and the Prime Minister was refusing to visit the constituency.
However, there was no indication of the furore to come on Friday night, when local Labour activists arrived at the Tollcross Leisure Centre in Glasgow at 7pm for what was expected to be a routine selection meeting for their by-election candidate.
George Ryan, a local councillor, was due to be selected in what was to be no more than a formality. But he failed to show at his own selection meeting. Councillor Ryan had faced allegations ten years ago about housing benefit fraud and had been exonerated.
He had been contacted by a journalist about these allegations last week and did not want to put his family, or his party, through that particular mill again.
Margaret Curran, the feisty MSP for Glasgow Baillieston, agreed to put herself forward and another selection meeting was arranged for tonight.
Labour leaders were desperate to avoid yet another by-election so Ms Curran agreed to stay on as an MSP if elected to Westminster for Glasgow East. Labour had to arrange a hurried meeting of its National Executive Committee to give Ms Curran the go-ahead to stand for the Commons while she is still an MSP.
The end result is that Labour will select its candidate tonight – Ms Curran – and begin its campaign tomorrow a full four days after its rivals. And, in a by-election campaign as short as this one, that four-day delay could make all the difference.

In comments likely to hit Britain's relations with Pakistan, attorney-general Dominic Grieve has said that corruption is 'endemic' in the Pakistani community in Britain and called upon the David Cameron government to 'wake up' to the threat.
In an interview to the Daily Telegraph on Saturday, Grieve, a Conservative MP from Beaconsfield (Buckinghamshire), said ministers should 'wake up' to the threat of corruption in public life, which he attributed to "minority communities" that allegedly function according to a "favour culture".
Asked if he was referring to the Pakistani community in relation to corruption in elections, Grieve said: "Yes, it's mainly the Pakistani community, not the Indian community. I wouldn't draw it down to one. I'd be wary of saying it's just a Pakistani problem."
Grieve, who has a sizeable South Asian community in his constituency, said: "I can see many of them have come because of the opportunities that they get. But they also come from societies where they have been brought up to believe you can only get certain things through a favour culture."
He added: "One of the things you have to make absolutely clear is that that is not the case and it's not acceptable."

The first thing to do is let this person know how important it is to you that they try to quit. Do your best not to nag or bring it up in a way that will make him or her totally close the discussion. Instead, you may want to say something like: "I love you. I want you to live a long and healthy life."

If someone isn't ready to quit just yet, you might make a request about where and when this person smokes. For instance, you can make a rule that he or she never lights up when you're around, or declare some rooms "off-limits." These new limits might make it easier for someone to quit in the near future.
You can't force someone to quit smoking. Be supportive and honest about your concerns, and the rest is up to them.

what is the differnce between a 35/5mfd 440 vac dual run capacitor and a 40/5 440 and does anyone have the wiring diagram.
What is the difference between a 35/5mfd 440 vac dual run capacitor and a 40/5 440 and does anyone have the wiring diagram. Mine has a blue wire on fan, Orange on C, and red on Herm, but I also have a yellow wire ,that in removal, of the old part, the yellow wire came off and i'm not sure which one it was connected to, because there was electrical tape covering it. Right now the unit is shut down until i Get the proper wiring diagram. I don't want to mess up my unit.
Capacitor don't have wiring diagrams but AC's do. Any chance we can get a hint on which one of the thousands of AC brands/models built that you have:whistling2:. Sorry just being a joker. Brand and model number will be needed though to get an answer. BTW I wouldn't put the wrong size capacitor in. What it came with is what you want to buy.
the one that was on there was a gemtech 35/5 x 440vac and the new one is a smart electric but is a 40/5 x 440 vac.
The difference between a 35/5mfd capacitor and a 40/5mfd is 5 microfarads on the compressor side of a dual capacitor. The larger number is the rating for the compressor to use and the smaller is for the cooling fan. The difference of 5mfd for the compressor (between your old cap and the new one) is small. Personally, I wouldn't worry about it, but I'm not telling you what you should do. If you want to put in a 35/5 like your original, that's fine...but the 40/5 should work until you do replace it.
Did you look inside the access cover for a wiring diagram? Usually there is one, which should show you where that yellow wire you mentioned goes.
There is a rule for sizing capacitors and it is called the Rule Of Twenty.
You don't exceed 20% of the original cap micro farad rating.
[quote=Neece;524537]I didn't look inside the access cover but I will. Thanks, I sure do appreciate it.:thumbup:

Pop art star flaunts five decades of cheeky style
Page Tools
Ken Reinhard sits in front of Monarchy of the Cross.
Photo: Tamara Dean
Lissom nudes and naughty pin-ups cavort with chair and table sculptures. A lolling Eve is propped against a fridge. Kinetic installations compete with photographic beauties on the walls of the sitting room. Ken Reinhard, 69, prize-winning pop art star of the '60s and '70s (academia beckoned from 1975 to 1998), is preparing his Fifty Paintings in Fifty Years survey. They are for sale. As is a matching DVD.
"It's either that or, when I fall off the twig, they all go into the garbage," says the artist at his North Shore home.
And he isn't joking. He has amassed so much art over the years the house is bursting. "Also, I thought, let's go back to my work at second year National Art School and show some of that. It might be more appealing for the art-buying public than my stuff at the moment."
If he's sounding sore, it's because his comeback from retirement - he was founding faculty dean of the University of NSW College of Fine Arts in 1998 - went pear-shaped. His Nudes in the Louvre show opened at Gibson's the day after the September 11 terrorist attacks and despite rave reviews didn't sell. "That was such a financial flop. It cost me $15,000. But then there was the timing; no one was in the mood for buying art." It all came home.
"That's why in my 2003 show with Gibson I made a concession and produced 50 little pictures [selling eight], and that's why this show has only three new pictures, not 50. It's grown out of every exhibition I've done before, so there is a logical sequence."
His 1955 pencilled nudes ("people like Harry M. Miller bought them") progress to Pierrot and Clown in 1956 ("my blue period"), Monarchy of the Cross in 1964, a send-up of Kings Cross (Barbara, his wife, is sorry to see that go; he's not), Telephone Girl, 1977, with protruding PVC piping ("I like adding objects to extend the frame") through the decades to his new works including Eve Saw an MG in Venice, 2005 (half-size billiard balls attached).
"There's no political content in the sense of social comment. I did that back in the '60s."
Then he sold well and was the darling of the media with his satirical shots at the Beatles, self-service, weddings, beer-drinking, strippers, Anzac Day. But nobody saw further into the work. "So I was miffed and decided to be more serious. I went into photography and drew stripes, arrows, numbers, letters and still nobody understood me. I should have stayed on the satirical track and been more acceptable. My work since then has been post- pop, if there is such a thing."
It sounds so hard. What keeps him going? "The whole attraction of retirement was to spend time making my art. I do it because it's compulsive. I can't stop."
He applies a tough test to himself. "People must marvel at what I've done or I'm not pushing the limit. So in the '60s and '70s when they bought it and found it interesting and decorative, I obviously hadn't extended myself." In other words, popularity equals humdrum - not acceptable to the professor.
"Look, I know my work is difficult" - indeed, he seems to relish the fact - "I deliberately make pictures which are not easily accepted. People try to read things into them when they shouldn't. I use the term WYSIWYG - what you see is what you get - there's no significant meaning, no deep psychological intense way to read the paintings. It's not the heavy stuff the angst painters of the '80s and early '90s did."
But last year the self-flagellation turned fleetingly to pleasure. His $25,000 prize-winning 1970-72 Marland House, Melbourne glass cubes sculpture, removed from the forecourt of the McClelland Gallery+Sculpture Park in the early '90s for building reasons, was reinstalled, and his three-dimensional works (not for sale) were shown. He chuckles. "At the opening people said, 'Where can I buy these?' 'Visit me in Sydney,' I told them, 'I've tons of the stuff.' "
Ken Reinhard's Fifty Paintings in Fifty Years is at Robin Gibson, Darlinghurst, from Saturday until September 28.

Greenspan's Looming Dilemma
By Rich Miller
Back in the summer of 2002, a confident Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said he was looking forward to a second-half pick-up in the economy. But then corporate chieftains got a case of the willies. Hit by a spate of boardroom scandals and a sinking stock market, they held back on spending and hiring. As a result, the much-anticipated revival didn't materialize in the final six months of that year.
Now, there's some concern at the Fed that the same sort of thing may be happening again. On Aug. 6, the Labor Dept. reported that Corporate America added a mere 32,000 workers to their payrolls in July, when Fed and Wall Street economists had been expecting about 200,000. Coming in the wake of a subpar 78,000 addition to payrolls the month before, the July number raised the possibility that corporate execs may once more be turning cautious, this time in response to skyrocketing oil prices and renewed terrorism threats (see BW Online, 8/6/04, "Jobs: July's Stunning Disappointment")
So does that mean that the Fed will forego raising interest rates at its policy-making meeting on Aug. 10? Probably not. With an increase in short-term rates widely expected, the Fed would run the risk of stoking corporate unease about the state of the economy if it held off from tightening credit. A quarter percentage point rate rise, on the other hand, would be taken as a sign that Greenspan & Co. remain confident -- and it might even help allay some of the apparent anxiety in corporate boardrooms.
Those same sorts of considerations argue against any substantive change in the closely scrutinized statement announcing the Fed's rate decision. Sure, the central bank will acknowledge that the economy has hit a soft patch. But the statement is likely to maintain, as Greenspan argued in Congressional testimony in July, that the slowdown will be short-lived. It's also likely to reiterate that the risks to the economy between faster inflation and slower growth are "roughly equal" and repeat the intention to raise rates in a "measured" fashion.
Right now, there's enough data out there to justify that kind of assessment. Auto sales rebounded smartly in July in response to stepped-up incentives from car makers. Manufacturing activity looks to have increased, based on a survey by the Institute of Supply Management. And consumer confidence remains high, with consumers telling the Conference Board that jobs are becoming easier, not harder, to get.
But the slowdown in hiring as reflected in the government's employment report is a worry. If it continues into August, then there starts to be a good chance that the Fed will refrain from raising interest rates at its Sept. 21 meeting. Until then, though, the central bank is likely to keep its concerns about corporate caution to itself, cross its fingers, and hope for the best.

Your First Time With Her
Here's How To Make Sure She Has A Great Experience The First Time You're Together
Be warm and generousThere's something nice about staying the night. And whether you like to admit it, there should be cuddling. Many women do enjoy this, and most men do as well.
However, if you prefer your space, learn to read the signs, or give some indication that your intentions are to please her immensely. If she invites you to her place and she mentions how she will need to get up early in the morning or that she is a troubled sleeper, she's telling you that it's more than OK with her for you to leave after both of you are glistening with sweat and smiling like loons.
If she tells you about this great coffee place down the street that she visits every morning, she may be telling you that she would like you to stay for breakfast. Your response should be honest. Women can and will interpret much more than they ought to.
If she suspects that you're dissembling she will probably resent you. Your best play is to be gently upfront with her. Let her know what your intentions are. Work, appointments and life keep revolving and sometimes have to take priority. Just make sure she knows that you want to see her again, and make sure your words follow through with action.

text: New York couple's extraordinary, 65-question survey that grills prospective nannies When you advertise for a nanny offering a princely $15-an-hour, most parents aren't expecting Mary Poppins to waft through the door. However one New York couple are setting the bar high after posting a Craigslist ad this week accompanied by 65 highly personal and detailed questions for the future caretaker of their children. The nanny ad was posted online on January 5 by a couple who live with their two sons in the Sunnyside area of Queens, New York. The couple demand full disclosure with an online Spanish Inquisition that covers everything from marijuana smoking to the use of hand sanitizer. The ad opens: 'Grab your umbrella! You are a magical Mary Poppins, a wizard, or a giant spiky Triceratops. 'You love to play, pretend, create, teach, and nurture. You are reliable, warm, and fun, but also know how to say "no" when necessary.' The job description requires the nanny to take care of two boys, aged two and five, two days a week, between the hours of 11.30am and 5.30pm. Tasks include picking up the two children from school, preparing lunch, setting nap times, organizing games, activities and reading. The nanny may also be asked by the parents to work on an occasional 'date night', according to the Craigslist post.So far, so normal - but the slightly off-beat introduction gives no indication of the grilling to come. The opening question of the survey asks: 'Are you an American citizen?' followed up by: 'If your family is from outside America, do you see yourself becoming homesick and needing to return to them?From there, the questions take an even more personal turn. 'Will you be able to provide a letter from your primary care doctor stating that you are in good health and able to perform the rigorous job of caring for two small children?' the couple ask. They add: 'Will you provide a letter from your doctor listing all your current prescription drugs?' This segues into an inquiry over drug use that a narc squad officer would be proud of. Question 25 reads: 'How often do you smoke weed?' The interrogation doesn't end there - the follow-up question asking: 'If you ever smoke weed, how many smokes do you typically have on a social occasion?' The topic then branches out to ask potential nannies how often they use all recreational drugs (with the helpful description of 'all drugs you can't buy at the supermarket'). A check-box list is then included which runs the gauntlet of legal and illegal substances from Percocet and cough med to meth and heroin. The future employers also want to know if the prospective nanny has ever smoked cigarettes and whether he or she is prone to a hangover. Hedonistic habits aside, personal hygiene is also a grave concern of this couple. The employee is asked a rigorous set of questions about how often they shower, when they wash their hands, their length of fingernails and whether they use perfume. And for $15 an hour, the couple inquires as to their prospective Mary Poppins' high school and college GPAs and whether they have an advanced degree. The parents finally state that the nanny is banned from using 'Facebook or blogging' anything about the family - in their public Craigslist ad.

Light-detecting cells in the eye must renew their light-gathering apparatus each day at sunrise (for rod cells) or sunset (for cone cells) by shedding their outermost tips, which are then gobbled up and digested by surface (epithelial) cells. Nandrot and colleages now report in the December 20 issue of The Journal of Experimental Medicine that the epithelial cells need a protein called an integrin to detect when and how to gobble up the debris. Without it, the debris is taken up slowly but then accumulates to toxic levels inside the cell, eventually leading to blindness. An identical build-up of cellular debris is a hallmark of macular degeneration in humans, the most common cause of blindness in the elderly.
Shedding and debris collection must be precisely synchronized to maintain proper rod and cone cell function. How this synchronous cycle of uptake and digestion is maintained is not completely clear. Nandrot and colleagues now show that, in mice lacking the integrin, the normal burst of uptake activity at first light was completely missing and instead uptake occurred steadily throughout the day. Debris accumulated inside the cell and was not destroyed.
That epithelial cells could still take up debris at all was a surprise, as tissue culture experiments showed that cells missing this integrin were unable to pick up rod cell fragments. The link to digestion was also surprising because integrin signaling has never been linked to cellular digestion functions. Perhaps the same signal triggers a cascade that initiates both concerted uptake and digestion. The authors are now trying to identify the protein that binds to the integrin and triggers these functions.

The last half century has revealed a stark contrast between what secular scientists expected to find concerning the big "origins" questions and what scientific research actually uncovered. In part one of this brief series, I'll discuss how this contrast played out regarding the origin of the universe. In future installments, I'll consider the origins of the solar system, the Earth, life, and the human species.
The Origin of the Universe
The ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle (384-322 BC) speculated that the cosmos was eternal. And since the eighteenth century Enlightenment, secular thinkers have often argued that the physical universe was eternal in age and possibly infinite in extent. It was viewed as being a brute reality without beginning and therefore without need of a cause. The skeptical mathematician and philosopher Bertrand Russell insisted (in his famous BBC debate with Catholic philosopher Frederick Copleston on the existence of God) that the universe is "just there."
In the first half of the twentieth century the view of cosmology known as the steady-state theory was popular among secular scientists. This view reflected the belief that the universe somehow contained a continual energy source that allowed the cosmos to remain in a constant state of existence. Philosophically speaking, an eternal universe would seem more consistent with an atheistic, naturalistic view of reality. For if the universe is eternal, then it needs no causal explanation, thus no need to postulate God as a necessary causal agent. (Though, ironically, atheists often fail to appreciate that if God exists as an eternal [and necessary] being, then he as well would need no causal explanation.)
Big Bang Cosmology
Over the last 40 years, however, big bang cosmology has undergone extensive testing and has emerged as the prevailing scientific model for the origin of the universe. According to this well-established theory, the universe (including all matter, energy, time, and space) came into being about 14 billion years ago. This inception was a singular beginning. The conclusion, then, is that the universe is not eternal. Thus the basic big bang cosmological model has now replaced the steady-state (eternal universe) theory. And while the big bang is being refined as a theory, most leading astrophysicists argue that this cosmological theory is here to stay.
But a universe with a singular beginning from nothing was the last thing that secular scientists thought would be discovered. The problem for the atheistic naturalist is how much big bang cosmology resembles the biblical doctrine of creation ex nihilo (God created the universe from or out of nothing [no preexisting materials]: Genesis 1:1; Proverbs 3:19; Romans 4:17; Titus 1:2; Hebrews 11:3).
So while secular scientists thought they would discover an eternal, self-sufficient universe, what they actually discovered is a universe that had a singular beginning and is, therefore, a contingent reality in need of a necessary causal explanation. Thus, the cutting-edge scientific explanation concerning the universe's origin (a singular beginning of all things) seems to comport best with theism rather than atheistic naturalism. While many scientists were no doubt surprised by this discovery, Christian theologians, on the other hand, expected it.
This series was inspired by Robert M. Bowman Jr.'s outline notes in Scripture: Outline Studies in Authority, Canon, and Criticism (used at Biola University). For more on the big bang and other competing cosmological theories, see Hugh Ross, The Creator and the Cosmos.

David Boies on Prop 8 ruling: We proved that same-sex marriage won't hurt society
posted at 7:52 pm on August 4, 2010 by Allahpundit
Note well: He's emphasizing the factual findings in the case here, not the ostensibly more important legal conclusions about due process and equal protection. That's smart as a legal strategy insofar as the facts, not the law, are binding on the appellate courts that'll hear this case, and it's smart as a political strategy insofar as the average joe will likely be interested in the sociological testimony from the trial but not so much the tedium of due process analysis. If you're going to use your limited time on camera to push gay marriage to the public, this is precisely the sort of thing you'd want to emphasize.
That said, while it's no secret that I support gay marriage too, I think they've made a needless mistake in pushing this in the courts instead of doing it legislatively state-by-state. The optics are uniquely bad — a federal judge imperiously tossing out a public referendum enacted by citizens of one of the bluest states in America on the shoulders of a multi-racial coalition. If the goal of gay-rights activists is to make same-sex marriage palatable to the public, then embittering opponents by torpedoing a hard-fought democratic victory seems like … an odd way to go about it. The response to that will be that equality can't wait, just as it couldn't wait vis-a-vis school desegregation in the 1950s. Except that (a) no one, including gay-marriage supporters, seriously believes that the harm here is as egregious as the harm to blacks under Jim Crow, and (b) there was no assurance of a legislative solution to racial injustice in the 1950s the way there currently is for gay marriage. A strong majority already favors civil unions; as I noted earlier, opposition to same-sex marriage is in decline and down to 53 percent. When polled, young adults are invariably heavily in favor, guaranteeing that the legal posture on this issue will shift further over the next decade. The real effect of this decision, assuming it's upheld on appeal, will be to let gay-marriage opponents claim that they were cheated in a debate that they were losing and bound to lose anyway. That's what's called a pyrrhic victory. Too bad.
