K-Meleon: Lean, mean Web
By Larry Blasko, Associated Press
One of the nicest things about writing about computing
for the public is that you get the benefit of readers' knowledge. A mention of
Netscape's latest browser brought an e-mail from Noel Warner of Jacksonville,
Fla. He asked: "Have you taken the K-Meleon browser for a test drive? I found
this Mozilla-based program a few weeks ago, and was immediately impressed. It's
definitely browser-lite, as that is all it does. Small RAM footprint. No e-mail,
news-reader, etc. It is very stable, and lightning fast at loading pages. Good
cookie control, and best of all pop-up ad blocking! I am not sure I would
trust it for secure transactions, but I do very little shopping on the 'net."
said he had no connection with K-Meleon other than being a satisfied user. So
a quick hop with the URL he provided and a 4-megabyte free download later, K-Meleon
installed itself.
After a couple of days of surfing
with K-Meleon, I found Warner to be right on the money. The browser is small and
quick. And I haven't encountered a problem. Visually, it looks like a Netscape
Navigator that took up jogging and a diet. Same overall feel as Netscape without
some of the clutter.
It displayed Web pages quickly
and accurately. In all, pretty nifty.
The version downloaded
was Release 0.6 as of Oct. 29. And the system requirements are modest: Windows
95 or better and 32 megabytes of RAM.
In case you are
wondering if Mozilla is the thing that periodically tries to eat Tokyo, my favorite
online encyclopedia revealed that Mozilla is: The code name for Netscape Navigator
and Netscape's first alligator-like mascot. It stood for "Mosaic Killer." Mosaic
was the Web browser that caused the Web to become popular, which was created by
the same people who later founded Netscape.
When Netscape
became free in 1998 and the source code was available for developers, Netscape
created mozilla.org as a clearinghouse for improvements to the code. Now, Mozilla
is its own open-source Web browser, available from that site.
other word that might throw you is GNU. You will be asked to agree with a GNU
license. Huh?
GNU is an acronym for "Gnu's Not Unix".
It is maintained by the Free Software Foundation, a nonprofit organization that
promotes the development and use of "freely redistributable software." What that
means to users is that it's free, you can pass it on and even modify it, but you
can't sell it.

If you're shooting lead, invest in a bottle of copper solvant. Sit the barrel in it for 5 minutes, flip it around, another 5 while doing something else and then scrub-it comes right out.

It rained all day today, so I detail-stripped that dreaded, crusty ol' Remington Speedmaster while listening to .38 Special's 'greatest hits'.
It took hours and fortunately, '.38 Special' made a lot of great songs and my ipod was on 'repeat'. I grabbed a handful of tiny pointed wooden shish-kabob skewers out of the kitchen to help me with the leading around the breech that had been building up. Man, that really works well - you can buy them in just about any supermarket, and they've officially been added to my cleaning supplies.
That ol' rifle has never been this clean, and the action is now running smooth as silk. Even the most dreaded chores can be pleasurable in the right environment.

Napoleon is depicted as a greedy and avaricious character who spies the 'sacred faith, and general happiness' across the channel with an envious eye as he ponders when to launch his assault on the British people.
Between 1803 and 1805 Napoleon Bonaparte formed his 'Army of England': a formidable force of 200,000 soldiers and sailors garrisoned in channel ports in readiness for a potential invasion of England. The French encampments at Calais, Boulogne and various other coastal towns were the cause of much consternation in the British government, countered by the mobilisation of some 400,000 civil volunteers and the construction of fortified defences up and down the English coastline. Although Napoleonic forces were distracted by continental warfare commitments, the threat of invasion by French troops remained a very real possibility, which only finally dissipated in 1812 following Napoleon's disastrous defeat in Russia.

we still have people come in to my shop once in a while with punctures like that. they get all upset that we cant fix sidewall damage. then you get the old timers that still ask to put a tube in the tire
Our new CX-7 is due for a new tire (under 1000 miles on the entire car) thanks to a nail where the tread and sidewall meet. Not even a payment made on the vehicle yet and $200 spent on a new tire.
Tire came in, so I dropped the wheel off. Thought I would be funny and just walk in and say, "I think there is something wrong with my tire, can you help me?" and then show him this. I was not as funny as I thought...
Anyways, I pulled this out, and it was in there about 1.5 inches.

My worst was a chunk of thin metal with a nail sticking out of it... the metal whipped around in the wheel well slicing up the fender liner and mud flap. The metal departed, leaving just the nail. Thankfully no paint damage. I made it 95 miles on the tire before the nail finally vacated its new home and left me with a flat.
And by 2012 we should have a better way to patch tires or sealing them with some vulcanized rubber or something.
We sent a team to the moon 50 years ago! We can't patch sidewalls on tires? INSANE.
I *JUST* replaced a brand new tire with under 1,000 miles on it on our new CX-7 thanks to a screw too close to the sidewall (still in the tread).
Here is the problem.
A tire generally has two main plies that are the main casing of the tire. These are the only plies on the sidewall of the tire. Some tires only have one, and some truck tires have three. They can be nylon, rayon, and a few other materials.
When those main plies are breached, they lose strength and start to come apart, just as if you ripped a piece of yarn in your favorite Christmas sweater. In the tread part of the tire there are more plies, two of which are woven steel. They can still come apart but they are much stronger and do not flex nearly as much as a sidewall does.
Patching it is not going to stop the sidewall plies from coming apart. This is why a tire sidewall bulges sometimes if you hit a pothole or something. The air is coming through the plies and is only being held in by the outer rubber itself.
Add a new piece of sidewall with new plies on the inside, vulcanize it against the punctured part.
Win all around?

Optical designers are working to develop approaches for aspheric metrology that combine accuracy with flexibility. This article addresses current developments and reviews the state
of the art in testing with computer-generated holography.
A computer-generated hologram is used as a phase-transmission diffractive null corrector for testing aspheric optics.
Aspheric lenses have become synonymous with high-performance optics. In fact, many lens vendors have made their aspheric elements a prominent part of their advertising campaigns. Aspheres are increasingly being used in optical systems for all kinds of applications, with varying degrees of asphericities (deviations from a best-fit sphere) and accuracy requirements.
These surfaces can be powerful tools for reducing the number of elements in a lens (and with it the size and weight), thereby enhancing system performance. If a surface is allowed to deviate from spherical designs, additional aberrations can be corrected as well. However, these advantages come with major drawbacks in fabrication and assembly.
Nevertheless, modern optical systems, ranging from those used in daily applications to the ones in high-end technological systems, depend more and more on the use of aspheric surfaces, making the cost-effective production of aspheres a subject of central importance to the optics industry.
In recent years, the production of these elements has seen an overwhelming increase, in part due to the development of new fabrication technologies such as computer-controlled polishing, magnetorheological finishing and ion beam figuring. These techniques allow the deterministic polishing of precise surfaces in less time than was previously possible.
As the fabrication of extremely accurate surfaces has proliferated, so too has the demand for high-precision measurement. After all, one cannot produce surfaces better than it is possible to measure.
The measurement of aspheres in the production process is of essential importance for achieving the final desired surface. Since the production sequence is iterative, several steps must be taken between surface shaping and measurement before the required accuracy level is achieved.
Up until now, the lack of an effective measurement system has prevented a reduction in the production costs of aspheric elements. The source of problems for the testing of aspheres is the same thing that makes these surfaces so attractive to optical designers: their individual shape. The challenge is to find an effective measurement system that provides the flexibility for engineers to cope with a wide range of asphericities while maintaining the required degree of accuracy.
Before one can understand the complexities of aspheric testing, it may be helpful to review the interferometric testing of standard spherical surfaces, which is simplified due to their intrinsic symmetry.
The only free parameter of a sphere is its radius. A spherical wavefront generated by, for example, a transmission sphere is enough to test a whole range of spheres. Putting the center of curvature of the test part coincident with the focus position of the transmission sphere, the test wave of the interferometer makes a normal incidence angle with the surface under test and is retroreflected.
This test configuration, commonly known as a null test, shows the deviations of the measured surface from the reference sphere.
If we try to test an aspheric surface with such a standard interferometer, not only will the fabrication errors be measured but also the deviation of the asphere from the test spherical wave produced by the interferometer. Depending on how big this deviation is, the number of fringes in the interferogram will increase until its evaluation is no longer possible due to subsampling.
Typical asphericities range from 10 µm to more than 1,000 µm, and the deviation of the asphere from its design form is usually required with accuracies better than λ/10, or, in the case of lithography systems, on the scale of nanometers. This huge ratio between measurement accuracy and dynamic range shows the difficulties associated with characterizing these elements.
Aspheres frequently are described as conic sections. (See the box above, "What is an asphere?") Purely conic sections—i.e., those defined only by the conic constant, without correction polynomial—are so-called stigmatic surfaces. The name stigmatic is due to their unique imaging properties: When used as a mirror, these surfaces image a point source to a perfect focus.
Interferometric testing of conic sections. (Left) Test of a concave hyperboloidal surface with a Hindle sphere. (Right) Convex paraboloid tested with a Hindle shell.
This property is exploited in optic design, but it can also be used to design relatively simple test setups. For conic-section surfaces of revolution like paraboloids, hyperboloids and ellipsoids, several tests are available. These test arrangements usually make use of spherical auxiliary components such as a Hindle sphere for hyperboloids or the Hindle shell for convex paraboloids and ellipsoids.
Although these tests have been of the utmost importance for developing mirror systems, such as those used for astronomy applications, they cannot provide a complete solution to today's problem of aspheric testing, since pure conic sections constitute a minority of surfaces. In the general case for non-conic sections, these simple test configurations fail to provide a proper measurement arrangement.
Direct laser writing system CLWS300. The polar coordinate system can write diffractive elements on substrates with a diameter of up to 300 mm and 20 mm in thickness.
The standard way to deal with a general asphere is to introduce some sort of correction optics in order to adapt the incoming test wavefront to the surface under test. This null optic (or null compensator or null corrector) generates from the incoming spherical wave a wavefront that impinges normally to the test surface and is thus retroreflected, forming a null interferogram.
As in the case of testing spheres, the resulting interferogram shows the deviations of the surface from the design prescription if the null optic is perfect. The accuracy of the method is clearly dependent on how well the null compensator is fabricated. The fact that each type of asphere requires its own custom-made null corrector is largely what makes asphere testing and generation so expensive and time-consuming.
Null correctors may be implemented with refractive, reflective or diffractive optics. Refractive compensators are optical systems designed to generate the appropriate aspheric test wavefront for the test surface. The fabrication of these systems is extremely expensive and time-consuming, and the certification of the compensators is challenging.
Diffractive null optics with peripheral alignment structures. (Left) The alignment ring is a diffractive mirror that retroreflects the spherical wave coming from the transmission sphere when the CGH is placed in the correct position. (Right) Simulated interferogram showing some misalignment (external ring-shaped interferogram).
The most commonly used way to implement null correctors is diffractive—by means of computer-generated holograms (CGHs). A CGH is a diffractive element that uses grating-like structures with lateral feature sizes down to a few micrometers and heights of a few hundred nanometers. A CGH can be considered as a hologram that reconstructs the desired aspheric wavefront when illuminated correctly.
The difference between a CGH and a conventional hologram is that the recorded object does not need to exist physically. The recorded object is a perfect asphere that may exist only in the computer. From the perfect asphere shape and the known illumination, it is possible to directly calculate the microscopic grating structures of the hologram and produce it by means of high-resolution printers. In practice, engineers typically use high-precision lithography equipment, such as laser-writing systems or electron-beam writers.
In fact, diffractive null correctors have, in practice, almost entirely replaced the costly and time-consuming fabrication of refractive compensators.
The accuracy of CGHs is defined by the lateral positioning accuracy of the lithographic equipment. A distortion of the pattern of the CGH results in a phase error of the reconstructed wavefront that is proportional to the local line density of the CGH and the amount of the CGH pattern error:
WPD = –mRλ0ζNνN
(PD=Wavefront aberrration caused by hologram pattern distortion, R=Diffraction order, λ=Wavelength, ζ=CGH pattern error, ν=Spatial frequency)
WPD = –mRλ0ζNνN
(PD=Wavefront aberrration caused by hologram pattern distortion, R=Diffraction order, λ=Wavelength, ζ=CGH pattern error, ν=Spatial frequency)
Positioning accuracies of 50 nm and better over the whole surface of the element are state-of-the-art. The dimensions of the CGH are dependent on the geometry and size of the surface we desire to test; common CGH sizes range from tens to hundreds of millimeters.
The fabrication of such elements can take anywhere from a couple of hours to several days, depending on the writing system. One of the advantages of diffractive null correctors over conventional refractive or reflective null optics is the broad range of asphericities that can be covered. The amount of asphericity has only a minor influence on the accuracy of the reconstructed wavefront.
Diffractive reflection element with alignment elements on its periphery.
An additional advantage is the possibility of implementing alignment structures that help to control the position of the null element with respect to the interferometer and the asphere. This reduces alignment errors that could otherwise be misinterpreted as surface-figure errors. The alignment structures are written in the same instance as the null element and have virtually no decentering error.
The figure on the right shows a diffractive mirror implemented as a binary-phase CGH. The central area is used for the testing of an aspheric system, while all the additional external structures (cylindrical and Fresnel lenses) are used for alignment purposes.
One of the disadvantages of diffractive elements is the generation of unwanted diffraction orders and spurious light.
A widely used technique to ease the filtering out of stray light is to add a wedge to the hologram phase function. This generates a carrier frequency on the hologram pattern that helps to separate spatially the unwanted orders from the desired design wavefront.
Then, by means of an appropriate aperture, we can filter out these spurious orders and select the correct one. Although modern fabrication equipment shows an excellent and ever-improving writing accuracy—which has been pushed by the requirements of the semiconductor, aerospace and other industries—the need to catch the residual uncertainties still remains; for high-precision measurements with accuracies in the range of nanometers, the measurement setup as well as the CGH must be calibrated.
The calibration of aspheric null optics is a critical issue, since the null optic ultimately defines the reference shape of the asphere. Calibration can be done against an existing reference. An absolute calibration procedure does not require such a reference, but calibrates against a mathematically perfect shape. Absolute calibration procedures exist for special surfaces with high symmetry, such as planar or spherical surfaces.
Absolute calibration procedure for an aspheric null test with a diffractive master element. Step (a): Calibration of the diffractive master element. Twin-CGH used as a zone plate. Step (b): Calibration of the aspheric null setup. Twin-CGH used as diffractive aspheric master (null mode). Step (c): Testing of the asphere with the calibrated test setup.
However, for the general case of an aspheric surface, there are no established methods for measuring the complete generated aspheric wavefront with the required accuracy and lateral resolution. In the case of rotationally symmetric surfaces, the symmetry can be used to separate the rotationally and non-rotationally symmetric parts of the surface error.
Within recent years, researchers have proposed and demonstrated absolute calibration methods based on CGH. With a computer-generated hologram, it is possible to produce, simultaneously, several different wavefronts. This approach allows for the generation of auxiliary wavefronts that can be measured with standard test procedures. The results of these measurements are the errors intrinsic to this CGH—i.e., error due to the pattern distortion of the diffractive structures and error due to the substrate (surface figure error, glass inhomogeneity).
From these errors, the absolute errors of the aspheric wavefront can be deduced. As we mentioned before, the pattern distortion error is proportional to the local spatial frequency of the diffractive structures and can thus be easily recalculated for the design function of the aspheric wave. To this, the substrate error is added, corrected for the slightly changed path of the test wave through the substrate.
The figure above shows the necessary elements and measurements for calibrating an aspheric setup using a diffractive calibration element that replaces the surface under test. This diffractive calibration element (twin-CGH) is, on one hand, the holographic analogue to the asphere that it replaces, and, on the other, the hologram of a spherical mirror (a Fresnel zone plate). With the five-position test for Fresnel zone plates depicted on the left of the figure, the diffractive calibration element can be characterized and then used to in turn calibrate the test setup before the aspheric surface is measured.
Interferometer with multiple test beams. A point source array generates several tilted wavefronts that reach the test surface under different angles. MA=microlens array; PA=point source array; M=source selection mask.
The increasing availability of CGH has made diffractive null optics an economic alternative to refractive and reflective null optics. Nevertheless, testing with individual null optics is not an economic solution for the production of small-series or prototype aspheres. Also, the production times (design and fabrication itself) for the null corrector might become prohibitive. Current research efforts are oriented toward developing alternative techniques for the rapid, flexible and precise characterization of aspheric surfaces.
In the past few years, several approaches for aspheric testing have reached the market. The ones that have made the most impact are stitching-based configurations and a so-called absolute method, where the asphere under test is scanned using a distance-measurement principle.
One of the main disadvantages of these methods is that they require many mechanical displacements of the test part. Therefore, these measurement systems split up the metrology task into a series of subsequent measurements that, after they have been acquired, are put together to yield the complete measurement.
The mechanical displacement slows down the measurement process and requires a somewhat bulky multi-axis positioning system. This might represent a problem for the integration of such measurement systems into an automated production chain of aspherical elements.
Recently, researchers have proposed an approach that targets the boundary condition of process-integrated aspheric testing (see Liesener and Garbusi et al.). It avoids all mechanical movements of the surface under test, but works instead with a non-standard illumination. As opposed to a standard interferometer, where only one wavefront impinges onto the surface under test, this new type of interferometer uses many wavefronts simultaneously; they are generated using an array of coherent point sources.
Test regions on this steep asphere (with an aspheric departure of 800 µm) are generated by the multiple test beams and are eval-uated in parallel.
This strategy allows for the parallel measurement of aspheric surfaces in a very short time, even for strong aspheres with deviations from the best-fit sphere of several hundred microns. Each source generates a defined test area on the surface of the test element where no subsampling or vignetting takes place. The system is designed such that the measurement areas generated by the whole source array cover the whole surface of the asphere.
Leaving the null-test configuration enables a wide dynamic range in the asphericities to be measured but also implies that the interferometer must be fully characterized in order to separate the phase contributions of the interferometer itself and the wavefront being measured. Thus, special calibration and measurement procedures were developed to cope with the effects of the so-called retrace aberrations introduced by the non-null test configuration.
The interferometer is designed to achieve an accuracy of λ/30 with sag deviations from the best-fit asphere of up to 1,000 µm; it has shown a measurement time of less than 40s. Although the system has been developed for the testing of aspheres, it is capable of measuring mild free-form surfaces with deviations of the surface normals from the best-fit sphere of up to 5°.
There is no optimal solution for aspheric testing that will fit every optical engineer's needs. However, researchers are now developing viable alternatives to the static null compensator. Some of these methods are even primed to tackle the next challenge for high-precision metrology—testing freeform surfaces without any symmetry, such as those used for heads-up displays or more complex and unique optical systems.
The authors greatly appreciate the funding of part of this work under German Government grants BMBF FKZ 13N7861 and FKZ 13N8742.

Regarding the Nov. 22 editorial "The D.C. Council's latest stunner":
I want to applaud the National Capital Planning Commission for rejecting any changes to the city's height restrictions. Commission members Arrington Dixon, a former D.C. Council chairman, and current chairman Phil Mendelson represented city residents who appreciate the historic view and landscape of the entire city.
A National Park Service official's statement that the city's building heights are "a matter of national interest" needs to be repeated loud and often, particularly at a time when the views emerging from the Wilson Building are both self-centered and provincial.

AT&T Employee Resource Groups
AT&T has 11 employee resource groups (ERGs) that are open to all employees and reflect the diversity of the company's employee base. AT&T's ERGs support the company's commitment to diversity and inclusion through their efforts in the workplace, the marketplace and the community.
In Your Backyard — All Around the Globe
We are constantly hiring new talent as our job mix and product line change with our industry. Last year we filled thousands of positions both internally and externally.
We know how important our jobs are to the communities we serve. The majority of our more than 240,000 employees on our payroll are U.S. based — we have employees in every one of the 50 states. And as we continue to grow globally, we now have employees in more than 60 countries.
Good Wages, Good Benefits
With highly competitive wages and benefits, AT&T jobs are among the best in the U.S. In an era when many companies are either curtailing or totally abandoning such benefits, we continue to provide great benefits — including market-competitive health and welfare, pension and savings plans — to our employees, retirees and dependents, AT&T provides benefits to more than one million people.
Union Partnerships
AT&T is proud of our long-standing cooperative relationship with our unions — primarily the Communications Workers of America and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers.
As of May 2012, about 54 percent of our employees were union-represented. We have more full-time bargained-for jobs than any other company in America.
Our wireless union-represented headcount has soared from about 21,000 in 2005 to about 41,000 today. AT&T's wireless workforce is the only major wireless workforce to be union-represented. The CWA spotlights wireless service from AT&T as the "only union choice" for its members.

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Use caution if choosing to use this company for design work.
We can not comment on the quality of the finished design yet as it has not been presented to us at this time.
We can however say that the company has very poor customer service and lacks communication skills. All we ever asked from Pennsylvania Signs and Designs is they keep us updated, even a simple "we are working on it" email every week or so would have been enough to satisfy our needs.
We feel that our communication issues started after first payment was made. We made one final request to fix crooked lines and a slight size mismatch on the final product that was presented to us, and have heard nothing back for over a month. (Again, not even a conformation Pennsylvania Signs and Designs understands our concerns.) We even encountered an issue where they changed their phone number and never updated us. We were eventually able to restore email communication where this was addressed. However as a customer you can understand the feeling of not being able to contact a company you just paid money to.
The company's website features some really good work, and we are not disputing that. We recommend not making payment to Pennsylvania Signs and Designs until your product has been completed.
We wish them the best of luck in their future endeavors. However we feel it is in our best interest not to do business with Pennsylvania Signs and Designs in the future.

It was confirmed during yesterday's airing of SmackDown in Australia that John Cena is no longer set to be part of the company's Australian tour, which runs from August 7th through the 9th.
Roman Reigns will take Cena's place on the tour.
As noted earlier here on the website, current long-term plans call for Roman Reigns to face Brock Lesnar for the WWE World Heavyweight Title at WrestleMania 31, with Lesnar assumedly winning the title at SummerSlam against John Cena. This would be his "big WrestleMania moment" and his official coronation as the new top babyface in the company.
It's worth noting that there is still no confirmation that Lesnar will win the title at SummerSlam, but he is also expected to work Night of Champions. Both shows are expected to be built up heavily.

Hispanic Heritage Foundation Spokesman William Levy Reaches Out To Community [PHOTOS]
The talented Dancing With The Stars third runner up hearthrob is a spokesman for the Hispanic Heritage Foundation (HHF) 2012 Youth Awards. As a representative, Levy reaches out to high school seniors in the Latino communities across the US to address the importance of identifying and nurturing leadership qualities in students in the classroom to apply for various academic grants provided by the organization. The variety of academic disciplines for grants offered range from Education, Math and Engineering Heathcare and several more.
It is only sensible to involve William Levy in such campaign and it was all too clear to the HHF Vice President and Executive Producer Maria-Esmeralda Paguaga that he is a major contributor and active model in his efforts to invite the youth of the Latino community to reach their potential. Speaking about Levy, Paguaga says " As an agent of change and role model for achievement, William offers inspiration and enthusiasm to our Latino youth to continue shaping a brilliant future for our community. "Levy is a role model in the campaign to get students involved to take on leadership in the workforce for the future of the United States. Levy is involved in a Public Service Awareness campaign to promote the organization and its cause.

My interest mainly lies within CG.. although I've never truly been able to draw on paper I thought it would be wise to step aside from CG and start from scratch , I am pointing towards the earliest artform. 2D drawing. Most artists today are very good at drawing and It's also the most spontaneous way to create art. Wanting to one day work in the world of CG and work with animation I think this is a smart idea, clicking buttons is easy but to draw using only your imagination that's the real challenge.
I purchased myself the wonderful Betty Edwards "Drawing on the right side of the Brain" and have come to the point where I realized I simply can't draw with what Betty Edwards call "the inside eye". When I look at zbrush central and all the magnificent art.. I can't help but wonder.. where does all this magic come from? Sure I can draw with reference images... in fact I am pretty decent at drawing from references but when it comes to drawing for example a magical creature, where and how can I find and utilize it to put it on my paper? What I can visualize are moving and I can't seem to freeze it and get a clear image of it. How do you do it? I try my very best but I can't seem to get my images how I wish them to be.
Could any of you help a fellow friend out, how do you guys get an idea into a mental/visual concept to then be transfered to the physical world?
Thanks in advance,

Volunteers add $8 million in value to DNR
Nearly 26,000 citizens donated services valued at $8 million during 2011 to assist the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) in accomplishing its conservation mission through a variety of projects and programs. That's the equivalent of an extra 179 full-time staff, according to the DNR.
"We're fortunate to have so many dedicated Minnesotans who are willing to donate their time and talents for conservation projects," said Renée Vail, DNR volunteer programs administrator. "We're extremely grateful for their efforts. Many of our projects would not be possible without their help."
DNR managers, professionals and technicians work alongside volunteers to help manage the state's diverse natural resources. Volunteer positions can range from specialist jobs requiring extensive skill and experience to work requiring little or no previous experience.
For example, for several years now Russ Johnsrud, Ron Norenberg, Don Marg, Denny Ernst, Chuck Yliniemi and Steve Maanum have used their woodworking skills to assist staff at the Park Rapids Wildlife office.
Last year, the volunteers built 68 bluebird houses for the DNR Nongame Wildlife Program. They also built 103 Peterson bluebird boxes, 10 mallard nesting boxes, 50 wood duck boxes, and two purple martin houses. Most of these went to the Detroit Lakes Wildlife Management Area. Twenty-five bluebird houses were built for Park Rapids School and 30 bluebird houses were for Bagley School.
Volunteer opportunities are available at state parks, state forest campgrounds, wildlife management areas, fisheries and hatcheries, as well as at DNR area, regional and headquarters offices.
Special event sites offer volunteer experiences, too. More than 500 volunteers assisted the DNR at the Minnesota State Fair last year. They helped at the laser shot booth and archery range, acted as Smokey Bear, and provided entertainment and environmental education presentations on the DNR volunteer outdoor stage.
Elsewhere around the state, volunteers helped with firearms safety instruction, wildlife habitat improvement, river cleanups, state park campground hosting, loon monitoring, trail clearing, precipitation observing, burning permit issuing and wildlife research.
For more information about DNR volunteering opportunities, visit the DNR website at www.mndnr.gov and click on the word "volunteering." Information is also available by contacting the DNR Information Center at 651-296-6157 or toll free at 888-646-6367.

The Destination
Start with rural New England beauty, then add a dash of scholarly sophistication. Let stand for at least 200 years and you'll get Middlebury, Vermont. Home of prestigious Middlebury College, this village in Addison County is the model New England college town. Gifted young people mingle with friendly locals along Main Street, while the surrounding forests begin to glow with red and yellow leaves as students return to school. If you like the sound of those ingredients, you'll find the recipe for a perfect vacation in Middlebury.
The Digs
The Middlebury Inn was recently recognized by the Zagat travel blog as one of the five oldest operating hotels in the US. Its four historic buildings feature Victorian touches ranging from the white trim and large porch that greet guests outside to the spiral staircases and period furniture within. Each morning, you'll wake refreshed in a queen- or king-size bed, then head to Morgan's Tavern for pancakes or oatmeal complete with the requisite Vermont maple syrup. For a relaxing day, indulge in a pedicure or massage at the inn's Waterfalls Day Spa.

• Robert Frost Wayside Trail
• University of Vermont Morgan Horse Farm

Robert Blick, an Electrical and Computer Engineering Associate Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and colleagues in Germany have demonstrated a new nanoscale mechanism for field emission that could lead to a new type of energy efficient flat-panel display. The team's article in Physical Review Letters describes how a nanoscale gold-tipped island is able to mechanically oscillate between two facing electrodes, which provide recharging and detection of the emission current. Additionally, unlike many nanoscale experiments in field emission, the device does not need to be cryogenically cooled.
Field emission, also called Fowler-Nordheim tunneling, is the process in which electrons tunnel through a barrier in the presence of a high electric field. This quantum mechanical tunneling process is an important mechanism for thin barriers such as those in metal-semiconductor junctions on highly-doped semiconductors. With its nanoscale device, the team is able to trace and reproduce the transition from current flow through a rectangular tunneling barrier to the regime of field emission.
"Field emission from microscopic tips has been a fundamental tools of experimental physics for decades, and nanoscale emitters are the subject of intense research" explains Blick. "However, contrary to earlier observed deviation from the Fowler-Nordheim, our isolated nanomechanical pendulum shows new behavior already at low voltages. The fact that the emitter is isolated alters the Fowler-Nordheim description to a behavior which becomes linear for large voltages."
The team will continue its research with the goal of understanding how field emission is performed in a controlled fashion, one electron at a time.

st: generate sum by categorical variable
23 Sep 2008 17:45:38 +0100
I have an individual patient level data with two variables of interest, one is the number of weeks spent by each patient in the study (values between 1 and 52) and other being stratum they belong to (values between 1 and 3). I want to generate a new variable (total_weeks) that summarises the total number of weeks spent by each stratum. So the new variable will have 3 values only, one for each stratum. I can obviously use -sum- and -r(sum) to generate separate variables by strata but I was wondering there must be a quicker way of doing it in one line. Can you advise please?
Thank you,

UPDATE: Christie announces lieutenant governor pick
Republican gubernatorial candidate Chris Christie has selected Monmouth County Sheriff Kim Guadagno as his running mate for lieutenant governor.
Christie posted a video announcement on his campaign website this morning. He hailed Guadagno for earning "national acclaim" for keeping "Monmouth County safe and secure."
He also called Guadagno, a former assistant U.S. Attorney, as someone willing to put voter interests "before the party bosses, before the special interests."
Guadagno was elected Monmouth County's first female sheriff in 2007. She oversees a 695-member department and supervises a 1,328-bed maximum security prison, according to her biography posted on her website.
Guadagno's name entered the rumor mill in recent weeks. Bergen County clerk Kathleen Donovan had been among his top choices for the post.
"As a federal prosecutor and later as the Monmouth County sheriff, I had to make tough decisions," the 49-year-old Guadagno said in the video that was also posted on You Tube and Twitter. "This is the time in New Jersey's history where we have to make tough decisions, Chris. I am proud to be a part of your team because I know you will face those challenges head on."
Christie and Guadagno will embark on an announcement tour with events in Asbury Park, Woodbridge and at the home of Garfield councilwoman Tana Raymond.
In the announcement video, Guadagno says her law enforcement experience had groomed her for the difficult task of grappling with New Jersey's economic problems.
"As a federal prosecutor and later as Monmouth County sheriff, I had to make tough decisions and this is a time in New Jersey's history that requires tough decisions,'' she said.
In a biographical flourish, Guadagno recalled moving to New Jersey with her husband two decades ago, where they have raised their three sons.
"And unfortunately, because of the economy today, they're not going to be able to stay. They're going to have to go and find opportunities elsewhere, because this state is broken," she said.
New Jersey voters will select a lieutenant governor for the first time in state history this fall. The candidates will be bracketed on the ballots similar to president and vice presidential elections — voters will cast only one vote for the combined pair.
Guadagno was a commissioner in Monmouth Beach until she replaced Joseph Oxley as sheriff in 2007. At the time, she was an attorney who taught at the Rutgers University Law School.
She also served as deputy director of the state Division of Criminal Justice from 1998 to 2000, overseeing the prosecutions of David L. Smith -- the "Melissa virus" hacker -- and John Natale in a $40 million hedge fund fraud, according to a Star-Ledger profile in 2008.
She also served as deputy chief in the corruption unit for the U.S. Attorney's Office in Newark from 1990 to 1998. She prosecuted Essex County Executive Thomas D'Alessio and former Somerset County Prosecutor Nicholas Bissell.
Her husband, Michael Guadagno, is a Superior Court judge in Ocean County, appointed in 2005 by then-acting Governor Richard J. Codey.
Governor Corzine has yet to disclose his choice. Names reportedly under consideration include state Sen. Loretta Weinberg, the Teaneck Democrat, and Tahesha Way, a Passaic County freeholder from Wayne.

He blew a chance to be taken in the first round when he told the draft interview board that his long-term goal was to be an "international pimp". Gil later said the comment was "tongue-in-cheek", but after hearing the answer, several teams passed on him. In SLAM Magazine's prescient December 2009 article titled "Return of the Mack" ( http://clicky.me/7la ), SLAM mentioned Gil's new level of maturity and professionalism versus his earlier days in the league. Crittendon was a McDonald's All-American coming out of Southwest Atlanta Christian Academy in 2006. He had a stellar year at Georgia Tech his freshman year and was the 19th pick in the 2007 NBA draft in 2007. I have not heard much about him since entering the NBA. In fact, neither Arenas nor Crittendon are known for what they are actually paid to do - win games.
It wasn't long ago that the NBA was a considered a niche sport and trailed both the NFL and Major League Baseball in popularity. In the early to mid-1970's the league was about 75 per cent African-American and had a reputation as being "drug infested". At the time Simon Gourdine, a lawyer and Harvard MBA, was deputy commissioner under Larry O'Brien and the highest ranking African American in the NBA's front office. Gourdine had to answer the drug allegations on behalf of the league as well as help develop the 1976 collective argaining agreement that lead to free agency and work on the merger between the ABA and the NBA. That all seems like ancient history now after Dr. J, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, and Michael Jordan helped broaden the NBA's appeal with their exciting brand of basketball on the court, and their diplomacy and charisma off it. Somewhere Simon Gourdine must be shaking his head at the thought that current players (i) are either unaware that the NBA was once thought to be "too black" to ever gain mass appeal or (ii) have reneged on their obligation to remain ambassadors for the league.
One thing not up for debate is that gun play in the NBA is a career limiting move, as described here ( http://clicky.me/Shockims ). If it is confirmed by the NBA that either Arenas or Crittendon brandished a gun on a teammate, long-term suspensions and fines are likely to be handed down by the league. The incident is currently being investigated by local Washington DC authorities. There is also a remote possibility that Arena's $111 million contract, signed in 2008, could be voided by the Wizards. Once considered one of the fastest players in the league, Arenas missed all but two games last season due to a knee injury. Given his diminished mobility due to injury and the Wizards' losing record (10-20), that scenario is not out of the question. The NBA Players' Association has stated that they will resist any such attempt by the Wizards to void Arenas' contract. Stay tuned.

The gringo of Saquarema
... moments of "where the hell am I getting off", I arrived in Saquarema and coincidentally right outside the tourist office. Knowing the hostel was only a 30 minute walk. I'd taken a very brief glance at the map at the time of booking the hostel but asked the lady in the tourist office for a map and to point me in the right direction. With my Portuguese not being remotely up to stratch, this is always a risky tact, but having faith in my natural sense ...
24, and there's so much more...
... opponent was a brown belt, and I could feel my impending doom. However, to my own amazement, I was able to control the grapple for a solid portion at the beginning, but as soon as he got loose, it was a different matter; he kicked my ass multiple times. Regardless, my early success earned me the title of "fake white belt", which, when called this by a 5th degree BJJ master, it's a bit flattering.
The last detail I will mention is a new game I have learned. When I ...
No room at the Inn
Monday 19th April
So we arrived yesterday around 7pm, and having failed to contact the hostel before we arrived took a cab to the said hostel. The cab driver drove straight past it by miles, but can hardly blame as it was closed. So we head to the other end of town and find another place to stay. The place is actually pretty nice, right on the beach. Double room for 40 Reais each, and it has a restaurant, which is where we ate and then hit the very quite ...
Jumping seven waves
... Marina decorated the pizzeria with a million balloons and cooked a magnificent Brazilian feast for all the guests who wanted it. Anna came by after dinner and we wandered down to the beach to watch the fireworks. The whole town was there and everyone was dressed in white (for peace) and had brought floral offerings to the sea goddess Yemanja (spelling?) to toss into the waves. There were gladiolas galore and candles all over the beach. ...
The Death Train, Iguazu, B.A. and Rio
... meant to be quite a spectacle. It was a great night but it went so fast that we were there until it shut at 7am... We headed back to our digs, checked out and headed for the airport. Due to a mix-up I was given an exit stamp for Argentina and an entry stamp for Uruguay..... they then crossed it out... long story... Rio, Vicks arrives and my birthday We arrived into Rio after 3 stop off�s and over 10hrs of waiting around and flight time. I ...

MONROE COUNTY -- Florida Keys home prices made a substantial leap in the third quarter, while the number of sales stayed relatively flat.
Between July and September, 418 residences sold in the Keys, down just slightly from 429 last year. The average cost of a residence, however, was $453,000 during the third quarter, up 8.1 percent from last year, according to Multiple Listing Service data compiled by Century 21 Schwartz Realty as well as Coldwell Banker Schmitt Real Estate.
The median home price -- the number at which half of the residences cost more and half cost less -- also ticked upward, rising 6.7 percent, to $342,000.
The increases cut across the entire Keys except Key West. From Stock Island north in the Lower Keys, the median home price rose to $328,000 last quarter, up 6 percent from 2011.
In the Middle Keys, the median price was $337,000, up a hearty 17 percent. The increase was 17 percent in the Upper Keys as well, where the median home price jumped from $300,000 to $350,000.
MLS date does not capture homes sold at the Ocean Reef Club, nor does it include those that are not listed with an agent.
The local jump in home values comes as prices through much of the state are on the rise. Florida's Home Value Index is up 4.2 percent over the past year, according to Zillow.com.
Coldwell Banker Schmitt owner Brian Schmitt said he believes the uptick in Keys housing prices has been driven in part by a decrease in the percentage of distressed homes on the market and by an overall reduction in housing inventory.
Foreclosure and short sale properties make up 12 to 13 percent of local listings, compared to approximately twice that number 18 months ago, Schmitt said. In the meantime inventory sat at 16 months at the end of September, the lowest since 2005.
Schmitt said the 67-unit Indigo Reef complex in Marathon is an example of how the market has improved. Two years ago, approximately 25 townhomes, many of them distressed, were for sale there. Now he knows of just one unit in the complex that is on the market.
"It just sort of tells the story," he said.
Not all sectors of the market are equal, however. For example, in the Upper Keys, the average sales price increased over the last year for oceanfront and dry-lot homes. Meanwhile, prices went down for condos and canalfront homes.
On the other hand, total closings dropped for dry-lot homes. Closings stayed nearly flat for oceanfront homes and increased for condos and canalfront properties.
Century 21/Schwartz agent Tracy Larson said she's hopeful the overall number of home sales will begin rising in unison with prices now that the presidential campaign has come to an end.
"I was talking last night to a buyer and he told me that he was waiting to see how the election turns out before he makes any big investments," she said.

I thought I should just put this up as an FYI more than anything.
I am in the process of having to move in the next month and its likely that with the Holidays fast approaching that I won't be able to take on any sewing commissions till after the New Year. I'm sorry:angry I'm not exactly thrilled myself to be yet again moving this close to the Holidays. Gah!!!
The sewing studio will be packed up in the next two weeks and all my machines will be in for a much needed service in the next month.
If you should be trying to get ahold of me for any sewing work its gonna be hit or miss for me at least in the next month to be able to get on here and check my pm's.
My email goes straight to my phone which is likely to be the best way to reach me at this time. email@example.com or email@example.com

Former secretary of state Hillary Rodham Clinton has urged Canada to forge a unified front with its U.S. neighbour to counter what she portrayed as heightened aggression by Russia in the Arctic.
Speaking to a sold-out crowd in Montreal on Tuesday night, the former first lady and possible future presidential candidate used her podium to denounce Russian President Vladimir Putin's actions not just in Ukraine, but closer to Canada's borders.
Russia has the longest coastline in the Arctic, and "they have been aggressively reopening military bases" in the region, she told an audience in a talk hosted by the Board of Trade of Metropolitan Montreal. The country recently imprisoned several Greenpeace activists and regularly sends military air flights over parts of Canada and Alaska, "testing our responses."
"We need a united front," she said, adding that the opening of Arctic exploitation and Canada's "huge coastline" is pressing the issue.
Ms. Clinton spent most of her talk to more than 4,000 ticket holders focusing on her favoured theme of empowering women around the world through increased participation work and public life. As a testament to her high-wattage star power despite losing the Democratic nomination to Barack Obama in 2008, her speech attracted members of Quebec's business and political elite.
All three main provincial party leaders, including Premier Pauline Marois, were in the audience, along with the mayors of Montreal and Quebec City and federal cabinet ministers John Baird and Denis Lebel.
Ms. Clinton lived up to the reputation she earned as her country's top diplomat by scrupulously avoiding the treacherous terrain of Quebec politics – omitting any word about the province and zeroing in on Canada's strong relationship with the United States.
Earlier in the day, Premier Marois praised Ms. Clinton's "resilience" and her "capacity to serve her country."
Ms. Marois might have been disappointed if she'd hoped for a boost from Ms. Clinton, who has been dubbed the most powerful woman in U.S. history. Ms. Clinton said she is "a great fan of Canada."
Ms. Clinton hammered Mr. Putin's moves into Crimea, saying he acted in violation of international law.
"This is a clash of values. It's an effort by Putin to rewrite the boundaries of post-World War II Europe," she said, predicting similar treatment for other countries if Russia is allowed to "get away with it."
"There's a lot at stake here."
Ms. Clinton is considered a frontrunner as the Democratic presidential candidate in 2016, but nimbly sidestepped the question of whether she would run.
"I haven't made up my mind," she said.Report Typo/Error

International Tasting Tours
Examples of Vancouver's vast cultural influences are evident throughout the city, from its distinct neighborhoods to its visually stunning public artwork. But the cultural diversity becomes even more apparent with the city's incredible array of international cuisines. Below are 10 suggestions for introducing your palate to authentic and delicious culinary styles from across the globe, without ever leaving Vancouver.
Why: Vancouver has some of the best Indian restaurants in the country, thanks to the city's large South Asian population. You'll find family run cafes through to grand palaces of cuisine, with lots of options for carnivores and vegetarians alike.
Try: Vij's and it's more casual spin-off, Rangoli are well-known for their authentic yet approachable Indian dishes. Chutney Villa is one of the city's only restaurants specializing in dishes from the south of India.
Other Indian restaurants to consider
Why: Vancouver's long-standing Japanese population was originally attracted to the fishing industry in British Columbia, and you'll definitely see a Japanese influence in how the city eats its seafood! Sushi is practically the signature dish of Vancouver, and trying Japanese food while you're here is a must. But don't stop at sushi – there are plenty of other great specialties to try.
Try: It's hard to go past Tojo's for a high-end Japanese experience, but other innovative places to consider at Miku and Minami – sister restaurants that specialize in lightly seared Aburi-style sushi. For a more casual experience, try a pub-like izakaya like Hapa Izakaya or Guu Garden.
Other Japanese restaurants to consider
Why: With more than 50 percent of the city claiming Asian heritage, Vancouver's Chinese food is authentic, high-quality and delicious. You'll find traditional dining rooms offering dim sum and banquets, but you'll also find modern bistros that bring together Chinese and Western ingredients in an chic environment.
Try: For a traditional Chinese experience, head to Floata in Chinatown, or one of the upscale Kirin Restaurants. For something more contemporary, visit Gastown's Bambudda or Sai Woo in Chinatown, both of which also offer an excellent cocktail list.
Other Chinese restaurants to consider
Why: After a large post-war influx of Italian immigrants in the 1950s, Vancouver's palate started becoming woken up by ingredients that were previously considered exotic. The city's Italian community is no longer the only place you'll find a great plate of pasta, regional specialties or authentic Neapolitan pizza.
Try: The nose-to-tail Campagnolo Restaurant is the place to try seasonally-inspired regional Italian flavours as well as house-made salumi. If you'd like a side of celebrity spotting with your linguine, try CinCin Ristorante, right on Robson Street. For a fun, Italian-American red sauce sort of experience, check out The Distillery in Yaletown, and for Neapolitan-certified pizza, visit Nicli Antica Pizzeria.
Other Italian restaurants to consider
Mexican and Latin American
Why: Over the past decade, many immigrants and foreign language students from Mexico and points south have made their home in Vancouver. The city's food scene has welcomed the influx of new flavours, and you can now find plenty of great Mexican food, along with dishes from Peru, Argentina, and Colombia in the city's culinary mix.
Try: Tacofino in Gastown is one of the city's top spots to grab a taco and other Mexican specialties. For a taste of Peru, try the waterfront Ancora, or Chicha in Mt Pleasant. Baru Latino Restaurante brings together influences from around South America in an inventive multi-national menu.
Other Mexican and Latin American restaurants to consider
