Dear Santa,
We've tried to be very, very good at The Oldham Era this year. We might have been naughty once or twice, but hopefully you'll embrace the holiday spirit and forgive us. We have a few things to ask you for this year — hopefully they'll fit under our tree...
As bicyclists crossed the finish line Saturday during the La Grange Urban Short Track Series, race organizer Jon Kindig motioned with his right hand and called out the number of each racer as they finished.
"310!" Kindig yelled as Louisville's Tom Brockman won the toughest category.
But as runner-up Nick Barbieri of Louisville approached, he kept his head down, as his earphones blasted music from his Ipod.
"11!" Kindig yelled when Barbieri crossed.
The county's only wildlife rehabilitation center continues to fight efforts to shut down the facility, including a civil lawsuit filed in November.
Attorney Steve Emery filed a motion Dec. 14 to dismiss the lawsuit against Second Chances Wildlife Center's owners, Bruce and Brigette Williams.
A calico cat will return to its original owner after a district court judge's ruling last week.
"Just because you feed it doesn't mean you can keep it," Judge Diana Wheeler said at the conclusion of a two-hour bench trial.
Fraught with vocal allegations of lying, objections and hearsay, the case involved two families on Harvest Drive in Crestwood.
Both families claim to own the cat, which answered to "Safari" on one block and "Jasmine" on the next.
After a major spike in drug-and alcohol-related suspensions three years ago, Oldham County school officials developed a plan to reduce those numbers — and it's working.
Projections for this school year estimate the number of student suspensions will be half what they were in the 2008-09 school year, the year before the plan's implementation. This school year there have been 23 suspensions, compared to 53 at the same time last year.
I got a real treat Thursday as I shadowed South Oldham High School alum Eric Quigley, now a tennis star at the University of Kentucky.
Quigley returned to his alma mater for the first time in three years to be honored for his collegiate All-American recognitions at UK the past two years. SOHS raised a banner in his honor.
I'd heard plenty about Quigley since I arrived at The Oldham Era in August. I realized that he meant a great deal to SOHS and the surrounding community, but I wanted to see how people received him.
The owner of a large puppy mill raided by authorities in rural Campbellsburg last week has died.
Kentucky State Police found the body of Kenneth Smith around 1 p.m. Tuesday at his home on Allyson Lane in rural Campbellsburg.
Terri and Kenneth Smith faced 218 counts of second-degree animal abuse in connection with a puppy mill raid by Henry County animal control officers Dec. 12.
During the raid, crews confiscated 240 animals, including dogs, cats, horses, rabbits and hermit crabs, as well as a screech owl and a hybrid wolf.
Building 7A at Luther Luckett Correctional Complex in La Grange isn't a typical prison
dormitory. It is home to the prison's only single-cell wing. Out of nearly 1,000 inmates, only 12 have single-bunk cells to themselves.
Well, not to themselves. They still have to share their cell — with a dog.
The inmates are handlers in Luther Luckett's Camp Canine program, which trains dogs from the Oldham County Animal Shelter.
Emily Reed's second grade class
Locust Grove Elementary School
What I would like for you to get me is a dog, DS 3D and a Dippin Dots machine. I want a dog because she or he would play with me when I'm bord. I should get it because I've done a great job in math.
Next, I want a DS 3D. I want it because you can take pictures with it and it makes it 3D. I should get it because I help out with Aubrey.

I really want the Lego Death Star from you because you are special to me. do you want hot chocolate ☐ or coffee ☐.

International Medical Corps Delivering Critical Emergency Medical Support in Iraq
October 21, 2014 - Los Angeles, Calif. – International Medical Corps is bolstering efforts to provide additional humanitarian assistance to an estimated 1.8 million Iraqi internally displaced persons (IDPs) who have fled their homes since the beginning of 2014. The violent conflict continues to be dynamic with frontlines changing frequently. Displaced people continue to move into Kurdistan; however, entry into this region is becoming increasingly difficult.
Having operated in Iraq since 2003, International Medical Corps is well placed to immediately deliver a comprehensive emergency response, including relief and medical supplies to those displaced by the violence. The organization is deploying mobile medical units to increase access to primary health care and emergency health services, delivering medical supplies to hospitals struggling to cope with increased caseloads, and preparing for longer-term threats to the health system, such as disease outbreaks. To date, International Medical Corps has:
In Erbil, International Medical Corps continues to be the only health service provider in Baharka IDP Camp by providing both health and mental health services six days a week through a primary health clinic. The clinic sees an average of 100 patients per day and has provided 3,491 consultations to date. International Medical Corps hired a psychiatrist to work in the camp three days per week but his services will soon expand to other camps. Teams are gearing up to support five ambulances in Baharka camp. This will allow 24-hour referrals to be provided to hospitals for emergency cases. As the size of the camp population is expected to continue increasing in the coming months, International Medical Corps is preparing to expand the size of the current facilities and recruit new staff. Also, International Medical Corps recently established two Mobile Medical Units (MMUs) in Erbil which have provided 470 consultations to Syrian refugee populations in urban areas and IDP settlements.
In Dohuk, where an estimated 543,000 IDPs have sought shelter, International Medical Corps and the DoH have been discussing the possibilities of resuming the provision of PHC services in Garmawa camp. International Medical Corps will be working to increase its capacity in Dohuk to meet the increased demands in the governorate.
Child Protection is a growing concern as determined by a recent assessment and service mapping conducted by International Medical Corps. International Medical Corps has trained 52 people from local NGOs in Ninewa and Kirkuk in various Child Protection topics as well as Monitoring and Reporting Mechanisms (MRM). Another five organizations in Kirkuk were trained on conducting Child Friendly Space activities. International Medical Corps will continue to provide follow up support for these organizations in establishing Child Friendly Spaces within their organizations in Kirkuk.
International Medical Corps will begin programs shortly in mental health and gender-based violence.
For more than a decade, International Medical Corps has worked closely with Iraqi central government ministries and regional authorities to address the needs of the most vulnerable. At the height of a violent anti-government insurgency and a campaign of sectarian fighting between Shia and Sunni Muslims in 2006-2007, International Medical Corps was the only international medical relief organization assisting thousands of internally displaced persons (IDPs). In addition to the emergency response operation described above, International Medical Corps continues to provide gender-based violence services, community outreach activities, and community reconciliation projects as part of its ongoing programming in Iraq.
About International Medical Corps:
Since its inception 30 years ago, International Medical Corps' mission has been consistent: relieve the suffering of those impacted by war, natural disaster and disease, by delivering vital health care services that focus on training. This approach of helping people help themselves is critical to returning devastated populations to self-reliance.

drivetrain malfunction

I have a 2010 750Li and have the same problems. It started several months ago. The car was jerky and would only drive around 50 mph when I started it cold. I turned it off/on again and the problem sometimes went away. The drivetrain malfunction light turned on. I took it in and they said it was a battery issue. They gave it back to me and said it was fixed. Since getting it back, the power on the car cuts in and out during normal driving, but it is intermittent. I took it in again today and told them do not give it back to me until it is fixed.
Separately, the car has been driving rough from the beginning. It idles like a diesel truck. They changed the fuel injectors about a year ago. It's still rough.

Besides the government tide table publications, there are several commercial publications available such as Reed's Nautical Almanac or Eldridge's that you may want to consider. Reed's is a complete and easy-to-use reference book for tides, currents, aids to navigation, celestial tables, and weather information. There is a Reed's Almanac for both the East and West Coast of the US in addition to a Caribbean volume. Eldridge's has tables for tides and currents for the East Coast of the US only and covers the Northeast especially well. Like Reed's, it also contains a light list and weather information.
In 1995 the National Ocean Service (NOS) stopped publishing the tide and current tables. Instead it makes the data available to private publishers and distributors. The NOS tidal information tables are much larger and easier to read than the privately published tables and are somewhat less expensive, but contain only tide data. You will also need to buy the tidal current tables that are published separately. Tide tables for various parts of the world are published in four volumes. These volumes are:
Each volume has five common tables:
The US East Coast and West Coast volumes also contain tables for moonrise and moonset, conversion from feet to centimeters, estimated tide prediction accuracies, a glossary of terms, and an index to tide stations. Each table is preceded by a complete explanation and sample problems are given where necessary. The inside back cover of each volume contains a calendar of critical astronomical data to help explain the variations of the tide during each month and throughout the year.
Tide Predictions For Reference Stations For each day of the year, the time and height of each high and low water are listed in chronological order for all reference stations. Although high and low waters are not labeled as such, they can be distinguished by the relative heights given immediately to the right of the times. The heights are given in both feet and centimeters. If two high tides and two low tides occur each tidal day, the tide is semidiurnal. Since the tidal day is 50 minutes longer than the civil day, any given tide occurs later each day. Because of the later times of corresponding tides from day to day, certain days have only one high water or only one low water. Times are given using the 24-hour-clock system and are in local standard time. When in Daylight Saving Time, you must add one hour to the given time to obtain the Daylight Saving Time.
Tide Predictions For Subordinate Stations For each subordinate station listed, the following information is given:
The time difference is the number of hours and minutes to be applied to the reference station time to find the time of the corresponding tide at the subordinate station. This interval is added if preceded by a plus sign (+) and subtracted if preceded by a minus sign (-). The results obtained by the application of the time differences will be in the zone time of the time meridian shown directly above the difference for the subordinate station. Special conditions occurring at a few stations are indicated by footnotes on the applicable pages. In some instances, the corresponding tide may fall on a different date at reference and subordinate stations.
Height differences are shown in a variety of ways. For most entries, separate height differences in feet are given for high water and low water. These are applied to the height given for the reference station. A plus sign indicates that the height is to be added to that given in the reference station while a minus sign means that it is to be subtracted. Remember that on occasion you may end up with a negative height of tide, meaning that the actual depths will be less than that indicated on the chart. In many cases a ratio is given for either high water or low water, or both. Ratios are identified by an asterisk and are given as a decimal fraction. The height at the reference station is multiplied by this ratio to find the height at the subordinate station. For a few stations, both a ratio and difference are given. In this case the height at the reference station is first multiplied by the ratio, and the difference is then applied. Special conditions are indicated in the table or by footnote.
If you are not completely familiar with using published tide tables, you should solve the examples and problems given in Bowditch and Chapman's Piloting or see if you arrive at the same values as the computer program. Don't wait until your electronics fail to learn how to use these tables. On a dark and stormy night it may take too long.

Frankfort, Ky. • The coal industry is shedding thousands of jobs and facing the government's most severe crackdown on carbon emissions yet. But king coal still flexes its political muscle in Kentucky and West Virginia, where Republicans and even Democrats try to out-coal one another by cozying up to the industry and slamming President Barack Obama.
In other coal-producing areas such as Ohio and Virginia, Democrats have been able to win even with the industry against them. That's not an option for politicians in the heart of Appalachia.
Many people here still cling to coal as a source of work and cultural pride, so almost everyone running for office seeks the mantle of coal savior, or at least defender.

Benefits For Permanent Employees And Employees Whose Appointments Are For More Than One Year
This fact sheet provides a brief overview of the benefits to which you are entitled or which you may elect to take advantage of. For additional information, please visit the website links below, or contact your designated . You may also link to valuable Benefits information at OPM's New Federal Employee Enrollment page.
Insurance Coverage
Health Insurance
The Federal Employees' Health Benefits (FEHB) Program offers a wide variety of health plans from which to choose, including some that offer Health Savings Accounts . Some plans may also offer dental benefits. You have a choice of coverage for yourself or for yourself and your family members. The Federal Government pays approximately 75% of the cost of the plan and you pay the balance on a pre-tax basis.
Dental and Vision Insurance
The Federal Employees' Dental and Vision Insurance Program (FEDVIP) provides supplemental dental and/or vision insurance coverage. You have a choice of coverage for yourself, yourself plus one, or yourself and all your family members. Although there is no Federal Government contribution towards the premium, the cost is competitive with commercial rates and on a pre-tax basis.
Life Insurance
Unless you waive coverage, you will be automatically enrolled in basic coverage under the Federal Employees' Group Life Insurance (FEGLI) Program. The basic benefit amount is approximately $2,000 more than your base salary. The Federal Government pays one-third of the cost for basic coverage. Optional insurance is also available to increase your benefit, as well as to provide coverage for your family. You pay the entire premium for any optional coverage you elect.
Long-Term Care Insurance
The Long Term Care (LTC) Insurance Program offers care that you need if you can no longer perform everyday tasks by yourself due to a chronic illness or disability. LTC also includes the supervision you might need due to a severe cognitive impairment (such as Alzheimer's disease). Your spouse, parents, and parents-in-law are also eligible to apply. Although there is no Federal Government contribution towards the premium, the cost is competitive.
Flexible Spending Account
A Flexible Spending Account (FSA) is a tax-favored program that allows you to set aside pre-tax money from your salary to pay for a variety of eligible expenses. There are three types of FSAs:
Health Care FSA (HCFSA)
Allows pre-tax reimbursement of eligible medical costs not covered or reimbursed by insurance, such as co-payments.
Limited Expense Health Care FSA (LEX HCFSA)
Is used in place of HCFSA if you are enrolled in a High Deductible Health Plan with a Health Savings Account. LEX HCFSA allows you to submit eligible dental and vision expenses only.
Dependent Care FSA (DCFSA)
Allows participants to be reimbursed on a pre-tax basis for child care or adult dependent care expenses that are necessary to allow you or your spouse to work, look for work, or attend school full-time. Eligible family members include a child, up to age 13; and/or a person of any age whom you claim as a dependent on your Federal income tax return and who is mentally or physically incapable of self-care.
If you are eligible, you may choose to participate in either of the health care accounts and/or the dependent care account. Each year an FSA open season coincides with the Federal Benefits Open Season that begins in mid-November through early December.
If this is your first appointment in the Federal Government, you will be covered by the Federal Employees' Retirement System (FERS) that combines benefits from three distinct sources. The basic plan and Social Security both provide retirement, disability and survivor benefits. Both systems rely on employee and government contributions.
The third component of FERS is the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP). TSP is a retirement savings and investment plan. You can voluntarily contribute to a TSP account and qualify for automatic and matching agency contributions. The TSP is a critical component of building an adequate retirement income.
Workers' Compensation
If you are injured on the job, you may be eligible for continuation of pay, payment of medical expenses and/or payment for lost wages based on a Department of Labor determination.
Leave and Holidays
Annual Leave
Full-time employees earn:
- Four (4) hours each pay period if service is less than 3 years = 13 days a year
- Six (6) hours each pay period if service is between 3 and 15 years = 20 days a year
- Eight (8) hours each pay period for more than 15 years of service = 26 days a year
- Employees hired into the Senior Executive Service will earn eight (8) hours each pay period = 26 days a year
Each calendar year you may accumulate annual leave. However, excess of 240 hours at the end of the leave year will be lost.
Sick Leave
Full-time employees earn four (4) hours each pay period (13 days each year) with no maximum limit.
Part-time employees accrue annual and sick leave hours on a pro-rated basis, that is, in an amount based on the relationship of their tour of duty as it relates to a full-time tour of duty.
The Federal Government provides 10 paid holidays per year:
- New Year's Day (January 1)
- Martin Luther King, Jr's, Birthday (Third Monday in January)
- President's Day (Third Monday in February)
- Memorial Day (Last Monday in May)
- Independence Day (July 4)
- Labor Day (First Monday in September)
- Columbus Day (Second Monday in October)
- Veterans Day (November 11)
- Thanksgiving Day (Fourth Thursday in November)
- Christmas Day (December 25)

It is known that most athletes in general don't want to come play in Boston because of the weather and it's not flashy enough of a city. For example, Tom Brady jokingly tried to convince Maurice Jones Drew to come to New England and play for them but he said something to the extent of "I am a Cali man it's to cold up there for me." So now imagine this day in age with the NBA and its basketball players, they are all over paid ego- maniacs and that is a problem for the Celtics.
Boston is not appealing, it is historic in its own ways but it's not big enough of a city to showcase themselves. So here comes the question we would all like to have answered: What is it going to take to convince a Dwight Howard to come and join the Celtics if he reaches free agency? I never had faith in Danny pulling off what he did when he got the big 3. Once I heard Paul Pierce basically say" make us a contender or trade me," my first thought was well if the Celtics weren't already bad enough we are in trouble.
What Danny did back then is clearly impossible now because every NBA player for some reason has the choice to dictate where he ends up even through trades. The NBA allows this and in general it's a problem. It's one thing for them to choose with free agency, but now they can make a list to where they want to get traded to and the teams abide to it.
Chris Paul got away with it and now the clippers are up and coming, so these super teams will not stop and now the Celtics are in trouble. But the Celtics were the ones who started this "big 3" teams a long time ago. All the fans can hope and pray for is Danny has something up his sleeve or the Celtics will be back to number 4 when it comes to Boston sports AGAIN.

Transylvania Tours and Day Trips
Greetings from Transylvania!
I am Emanuel Enache, I am Romanian and I live in Sighisoara. After working almost 10 years in the financial sector I decided it was time to start doing what I truly enjoy therefore in 2010 I gave up my banking career and I started working as an independent tour guide & travel agent also being active in the NGO sector protecting biodiversity and traditional architecture of Transylvania. I am fortunate and proud to be a long term collaborator of Mihai Eminescu Trust and Adept Foundation, both local NGO`s supported by HRH Prince Charles of Great Britain.
What else is there to know about me?
I am located in Sighisoara, a city belonging to UNESCO World Heritage, right in the heart of Transylvania.
I offer day tours and trips and also extended tours of Transylvania and Romania that can be tailored according with your specific needs and wishes.
I want to show you places that I love, tell you what's good here, and steer you in the right direction to explore the real Transylvania. I will also give you some general and some customized tips as I want you to enjoy not just your time with me, but your entire stay in Transylvania.
I have lived all my life in Transylvania and was passionate about history and nature since I was a child, therefore I know many secrets about the area that travel books and sites never mention. As a guide, I work with solo travelers, couples, families with children, sometimes even 3 generations of the same family touring together, small and large groups up to 50 people.
I am proud to be independent. I will never take you to a place just because I get some perks for it. Although standard behavior in the tourist industry, I simply think it is wrong.

Our first ever guest appearance for the new product post.Favorited Favorite 0
Hello everyone and welcome to another Friday New Product Post. This week is a first for us - we had our first guest appearance by for our weekly video. Eric from Modular Robotics was kind enough to stop by and help me explain their new product. Check out the video.
Cubelets really are a blast and it's great to play with a wide assortment of them. There are a lot of possibilities and you can really come up with some amazing little robots.
Cubelets are miniature robots that magnetically (magically) snap together to create whatever you can imagine (within reason). Each one has a different function. Some are sensors, some perform specific actions (motors or lights), and others provide power or just help to connect others. There's really no wrong way to connect them. Because of their clever design, you determine their behavior by simply putting them together. If your robot is moving in the opposite direction, just reverse the sensor. Now you can intuitively build complex robots without programming or prototyping. Pretty neat.
It's everything you love about the Maple, just smaller. With the Maple Mini, you lose a few pins, but you gain the ability to put it in a breadboard. With an ARM Cortex M3 and 34 I/Os, this board has a lot of potential applications. And for everyone that's familiar with the Arduino IDE, you should feel right at home using the Maple IDE.
Unfortunately, not everything has USB. Many devices still rely on RS232, but most modern computers have done away with the DB9 connectors. Converters can be tricky because they don't always work. We have been carrying one for some time, but it hasn't been as reliable as we'd hoped. It works a good amount of the time, but not ALL the time. This new RS232 to USB converter uses a trusty FTDI chip to get the job done. It's a few more bucks, but if you had a problem with the old one, it will be well worth it.
I hope there's something up there that sparks your interest. If not, we'll be back again next week with more products. Judging from the pile of new stuff on my desk right now, there will be some good stuff, so be sure to check back. I sense it's going to be a bright week for new products.
Your robot "steers" just like everything else does. You designed the individual parts to work a specific way, and then you configured them to work together to accomplish a specific purpose. You actually "designed" the whole system from the ground up. I don't necessarily disagree with your views, but your argument makes no sense.
The demonstration of your cool robots is much appreciated. Your soapbox commentary on your particular world view…. not so much. Cool robots, though! Keep it up!
I completely agree with Menny here. If anything, this guy is nicely making the case FOR a Designer not against. I'm sorry he has some axe to grind with ID but what does that have to do with cool electronic stuff? Please tell him to go find some evolutionary/ID blog/website/forum and pour out his ideas until his heart is content. This just isn't the right place for it.
SparkFun has always been a really 'fun' site to go to. Crapola like this cubelet rep's comments really put rain on the parade.
Yeah, +1. Have your beliefs, because without them we're nothing, but grind your axe on your own axe grinder, not on someone else's workbench.
I don't think you fully understand what he meant. Yes he designed and programmed each block to have a certain function, but what he was trying to tell is that every particle in the universe has a certain function as well due to laws of physics, so when particles with different functions come together, they start forming even more complex functions. And it's not a "world view," it's one of the greatest things about science; it's true weither you believe it or not. And arguing about cubes being designed is like saying "a picture that illustrates evolutionary tree was drawn by a human, therefor Intelligent Design!!11!"
+1 on that. You guys need to lighten up, I think the majority of sparkfun users would applaud this as a very creative tool for educating kids in science, including an area which for some reason has become a very controversial one. I say for some reason because evolution is not a religious belief it is a scientific principle, and I would hope that sparkfun is science based, and would take that position. It has been a while since the world was flat.
My world was never flat! But I do know that no science has ever proven the THOERY of evolution. But that's the great thing about science, present an idea and test it against known models and formulas of the time and determine if it can be supported. Evolution is not a scientific principle, just a theory. Let me know when science has been able to conclusively prove our origins began in a primordial stew.
Gravity is also just a theory. What you have to understand is that the word "theory" has a different meaning in a scientific term and evoltuion is a theory with an overwhelming amount of evidence. The meaning of scientific theory.
I also agree with the other guys here…. Sparkfun rocks and so do their contributors, I check their site every day and buy as much of my stuff from them as possible. However, this is not the place for personal views. Please refrain from allowing personal beliefs from being presented as fact. I personally disagree with the cublets creator in views and do not want my kids listening to his views (they love watching Sparkfun videos).
Thanks for listening and keep up the good work!
It's a free world, everyone should be allowed to express what they believe just as religious people express their beliefs every morning when they knock on my door to save my soul. I'm sorry that you're trying to close your kid's minds before they have even been opened yet.
so I'm going to assume you don't have kids yet. Otherwise, it's time you take responsibility for raising your own kids. It's not societies job to raise our children and fill their heads with every idea and belief out there. The argument you've used here is hypocritical since you are imposing your belief that kids are harmed by not being exposed to every emergent belief system available. I have not shared my beliefs here and will not share them here since "knocking on doors" doesn't save souls.
I simply stated that there is a place for sharing personal beliefs and I don't believe that place belongs in the public face of a corporation. I don't care if Sparkfun employee's want to share their beliefs, if their guests want to share beliefs, or customers want to share beliefs….It just needs it's own venue to avoid the very thing that happened in this post.
You took the words right out of my mouth. Cool robot cubes. Terrible argument filled with fallacies.
That was a cool demo of the cubes but the robot was still designed. His point would only be valid if you put all the blocks in a box shook it up and then by chance a fully working robot came out.
I agree. He knew the behavior of each block and designed a system based upon the combined behaviors.
well, technically, something working WOULD come out. you can't fail at putting something working together. it WILL do something, just maybe not anything interesting…
But in his example he still designed it to turn it did not happen by accident. I still do not see his logic that the behavior just emerged.
I see what you're saying. His point is that you're not really 'programming' a differential drive system based on a differential sensor input. You're simply putting blocks together and they follow a function based on the form of their assembly.
His example was simple but if you take it further and have several dozen little robots that all do a very small task (driving forward unless they see light, and then going left or something), they would form a group behavior.
The whole concept of emergent behavior is based on systems in nature like ants, bees, etc. Basic reactions (behavior)to input (stimuli) create much more complex systems when scaled up.
Check out their video on the product page, it goes into this a bit.
I see. So you won't be getting many orders from proponents of Intelligent Design. ;^)
I know this is a weird question but do you know when spark fun is going to make there stock market debut?
They'd have to be a publicly traded company to be listed on any stock-market. As I recall, Sparkfun is privately held and will likely stay that way for the forseeable future. Not every company needs to go public, for one thing it would be harder to maintain the employee friendly environment if they "go corporate".
this. we're going to be privately owned for a very long time.
Very cool product, and it should have been left at that I think is the overall theme here. If that one little comment would have been left out of his commentary everyone on this thread would be talking about the bots. Instead you have a mini debate about intelligent design, god, etc and not about electronics and the wonderful things you can create from them and what they can teach you.
Yes, that makes more since that they were not programmed but designed by combining simple behavior of each module. Thanks for making that more clear.
Think about it from a kid's point of view. We are all techies, we mostly know how stuff works. And most importantly because we know how stuff works, we come up with ideas of how we WANT stuff to work and end up hacking our stuff together.
Kids don't have this knowledge initially. This exposes them to the possibility that stuff CAN happen. Knowing how and wanting it to do stuff is what comes afterwards. Discovery is the first step.
Neat little devices, but I think it is a far stretch of the imagination to call call each one a robot. Additionally, and more importantly, the soliloquy on evolution is out of place. This isn't emergent behavior, it is preprogrammed on microprocessors. You are entitled to your opinion on evolution, but if you look around you at the world we live in, you should think again whether or not it was done so by accident. At any rate, this is a electronics video and not the appropriate avenue to make such statements. Aggrivates me enough to avoid your product altogether.
I agree with you; it was very out of place, and extremely disappointing.
I think a lot of people need to spend ten minutes reading and absorbing the wikipedia article on emergence. This IS an excellent example of simple emergence; there is no steering or turning function, yet the machine clearly steers and turns. As a collective, the functionality or ability is more than the individual parts. Nobody has to get more philosophical about it on either side.
These are awesome, and potentially great as a teaching tool, but pretty pricey! And doesn't include a charger? :(
For those interested, there's an interesting set of thought experiments on simple robot behaviors in the book "Vehicles" by Valentino Braitenberg (wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braitenberg_vehicle).
Gets a bit deep after the first few chapters, but we've similar ideas building BEAM style robots for a long time using this sort of design philosophy.
you didn't "program" steering, but there was some level of design going into the order that those blocks went together.
why are the educational, engineering-based toys always the most expensive?
From talking with Eric, there are MANY regulations that makes producing 'toys' very expensive. Materials testing, certification, etc, etc.
Same for kids clothes if you are a silk screener.
Right. I really like the idea of "emergent" behavior, but that's just not how it works in the real world. I think that it is a complete disservice to kids to teach them that all you have to do is snap a bunch of parts together and something cool will come out. No! These parts required a lot of thought, design, and engineering to construct so that they would work well together. This toy is another reason that Engineering is a disappearing profession.
I very respectfully disagree. When you are a kid instant gratification is an AWESOME high. It is fun, amazing, and awe inspiring. As a kid (in my case) I used to like to see what made stuff twitch and then see if I could use it somehow. I would say that the purpose of these cubes is to DO stuff with them. I'd say these things are great because they are a way to explore the world through technology. Kids who want to know how they work will always find a way to. :)
Engineering is a way of making imagination turn into reality. Anything that raises questions, in my opinion, nourishes an engineering spirit.
Keep in mind that a lot of engineering went into LEGO blocks as well. This is a toy that's meant to inspire kids to think about complex behaviors as the sum of simpler behaviors. High level robotics, not design and construction. You will be happy to know, however, that the blocks are themselves programmable and that lower level control is a feature that may be available in the future.
Ahhhhh! The Borg are comming.
I didn't program my iPhone
Your not meant to, actuely apple spends thousands of dollars making sure people don't. What did you mean?
Exactly, someone else created complex hardware and software. And the same is for the cubes. Since his argument is so broad the cube itself has to support the base case which it doesn't.
I'm hooked on the STM32s after playing with one of ST's Discovery boards. You guys should build something similar to this but with the STM32F4.
Hell yeah. Embedded ARM with floating-point hardware!
Even without shaving for a week, I wouldn't meet the facial hair requirement for cubelets.
don't worry, all the facial hair is done in post processing.
Where is your BEARD! man ! DON'T DO THAT!
I shave every so often…
Kept hearing that the Maple IDE looks like the Arduino's so went to check it out at Leaflabs: http://leaflabs.com/docs/ide.html Yeah they do look 'similar' and the language reference guide often points to the Arduino page for more info.
Might try out the larger maple for fun and see how it works.
I have the "normal" (Arduino form-factor) Maple, and can offer a few opinions. Keep in mind I don't use shields so those aren't important to me. The IDE is the same, the language is the same, the library has some small (and very welcome) differences. For example, use of analogWrite() is replaced by pwmWrite() (much more accurate English, plus Maple Native will actually have a DAC on it (so I hear) to possibly use a real analogWrite()). The integer types are different of course, being a 32-bit architecture; keep typedefs or use the ones existing for uint8, int16 etc. to have to avoid porting integer types. There's some pin issues with certain shields; a Google search will help you determine shield compatibility, and so will LeafLab's site/forum.
That said, the ChipKit UNO (SF, please look into carrying?) runs a hair faster clock (80MHz PIC32) that seems to get a huge digital I/O speed boost over the Maple. I assume one does not largely excel in number crunching over the other though.
I'd do a full comparison of benefits between Arduino (Uno), Maple, Arduino Pro Mini/Micro, and Maple Mini, but I only have two of those devices. Maple is a great platform, and it's nice to see something Arduino-like in hardware/programming concept with more power, and yet breaking away from the restrictive Arduino form factor. Personally, I liked the multi-function pin arrangements so that I could have 14 analog lines easily :)

A 12-year veteran of the National Hockey League, Adam Mair has joined the Canisius College hockey staff as Director of Player Development, announced by head coach Dave Smith on Monday.
"I'm very thankful for the opportunity that has been provided by Canisius College, Dave Smith and the entire coaching staff where I'll be able to learn the many aspects involved in coaching and the day-to-day operations of running a program," Mair said. "I look forward to helping Canisius College and its players achieve their goals and aid in their future success. It is great to be involved and give back to the Buffalo hockey community that has given me so much in my career."
At Canisius, Mair will work directly with the coaches on practice and game evaluation. In addition, he will assist the staff with individual and team video to ensure quality control as well as scouting of opponents.
"It is great for our program to have a former NHL player with over 850 professional games join our staff," Smith said. "Adam's passion for the game and his interest in helping our program reach the next level is evident on a daily basis. He is a tremendous asset to Canisius College hockey.
"Working with Adam will benefit all of the coaches, as well as Adam, and this will make a win-win situation for everybody involved. Our relationship with the Buffalo Sabres continues to grow and it's great that we can connect with a former Sabre who chooses to reside in the greater Buffalo area."
Mair spent 12 seasons in the NHL as a member of the Toronto Maple Leafs (1998-01), Los Angeles Kings (2001-02), Buffalo Sabres (2002-10) and New Jersey Devils (2010-11). A member of three teams that advanced to conference finals and the 2006-07 Buffalo Sabres team that won the Presidents' Trophy, Mair appeared in 650 regular-season and postseason NHL games with 122 points, 41 goals and 81 assists.
During his career, Mair was mentored by four former Jack Adams Award winners in Lindy Ruff, Jacques Lemaire, Bruce Boudreau and Pat Quinn as well as a finalist in Andy Murray.
A native of Hamilton, Ontario, Mair also captained the Canadian World Junior Championship team in 1999, earning MVP honors during the gold-medal game.

Greece has three days to reassure Europe and the International Monetary Fund it can deliver on conditions attached to its international bailout in order to receive the next tranche of aid, four euro-zone officials said yesterday.
The lenders are unhappy with progress Greece has made towards reforming its public sector, a senior euro-zone official involved in the negotiations said, while another said they might suspend an inspection visit they resumed on Monday.
Athens, which has about €2.2 billion (HK$22 billion) of bonds to redeem in August, needs the talks to conclude successfully. If they fail, the International Monetary Fund might have to withdraw from the €240 billion bailout to avoid violating its own rules. That would heighten the risk that concerted efforts by policymakers over the past nine months to keep a lid on the euro-zone crisis could unravel, at a time when tensions are rising in other countries on the region's periphery.
Portugal's finance minister, Vitor Gaspar, the architect of its austerity drive under an EU-IMF bailout, resigned on Monday in a potential blow to his country's planned exit from the rescue programme. Political tension has also increased in Italy, where Prime Minister Enrico Letta called a government meeting after a coalition partner threatened to withdraw.
Athens and its creditors resumed talks on Monday to unlock €8.1 billion of rescue loans, after a two-week break during which the government almost collapsed over redundancies at state broadcaster ERT.
"All agreed that Greece has to deliver [pledges] before the Eurogroup on Monday. That's why they must present again on Friday," a second source said.
Euro-zone finance ministers are scheduled to meet on July 8 and discuss the situation in Greece, which is in its sixth year of recession and has seen unemployment surge.
"It is a very difficult negotiation," a senior Greek official participating in the talks said. "We're moving fast to wrap up as many issues as possible as soon as possible."
But Greece's financial overseers - the IMF, the euro zone and the European Central Bank - were unlikely to be able to conclude their review in July and might need to suspend the visit and resume it in September, a senior euro-zone official said on condition of anonymity. Representatives of the EU-IMF-ECB "troika" have been holding serial meetings with government ministers in Athens, struggling to agree on a host of outstanding issues.
If talks are not concluded by the middle of month, Athens risked missing the instalment, the Greek official added.

Rider 1 Sacred Heart 0 (2ot)
College Field Hockey
Rider University 1, Sacred Heart University 0 (2ot)
Northeast Conference Game
FAIRFIELD, Conn.--Senior Gabby Burgo (Collingswood) scored her eighth goal of the season, 1:30 into the second overtime as the Rider University field hockey team escaped Sacred Heart with a 1-0 Northeast Conference win on Friday afternoon.
Burgo tipped in a pass from senior Jackie Adams (Medford Lakes/Shawnee) at the 91:30 mark.
"This was a HARD fought battle," said head coach Lori Hussong, in her 13th season at Rider. "Sacred Heart is so much improved and today was a 50-50 game."
For Burgo, it was her second game-winner of the season and for Adams, it was her fourth assist of the year.
"Jackie hustled and dribbled the ball to the right," Hussong said. "Gabby was in front of the goalie and calmly slammed the ball into the cage. Gabby and the rest of our seniors have come up big for us and that's good to see. Gabby's hard work is paying off for her; every day she comes to practice willing to improve and this is great to see."
"The play was on a corner," Burgo remembered. "The ball got hit up by Jackie (Adams) and I was able to tip it in on the right post."
Making her first start since September 2, freshman Joelle Prettyman (Newark, Del./St. Mark's) recorded her second shutout of the season, making four saves, including two in the overtime periods.
"Prettyman was outstanding," Hussong said. "It was good to see that. We went with a different look and Joelle was poised and in control. She withstood a series of shots and kept the ball out of the cage for us."
Rider (9-4, 2-0 NEC) out-shot Sacred Heart (5-7, 0-2 NEC) 22-16 (14-4 in shots on goal) and the Broncs held a 16-5 penalty corner advantage.
Rider had a golden opportunity to convert a penalty stroke 10 minutes into the second half but the ball was misfired with SHU goalie Mary Altepeter making the save.
Altepeter had 13 saves for the Pioneers.
"We had a lot of opportunities and SHU's goalie was outstanding," Hussong said.
Rider defeated Sacred Heart 4-0 last season on the Ben Cohen Field in Lawrenceville. The Broncs and Pioneers have now met 24 times with Rider winning 18. Rider defeated Sacred Heart 2-0 in Connecticut in 2010 and 3-0 on the road in 2009. In 2008, Rider defeated the Pioneers 3-1 in Lawrenceville and 2-0 in the '08 NEC semifinals at Lock Haven.
This was Rider's second straight NEC overtime win and the Broncs have won 25 straight NEC contests, dating back to the 2008 season.
"Winning the game feels awesome," Burgo said. "We really worked hard to get the victory. Every team gives us their best and it is nerve racking. We just came together as a team and got the win. Being looked at to help lead the team feels great. Having a breakthrough senior year is awesome."
The Broncs are now 4-0 in overtime games this season.
"It is a credit to the players on the field that they can muster up the energy to win in a pressure situation," Hussong said. "This was a championship effort as far as work ethic. As coaches, we are proud that this team can stay cool and get the job done."
Rider stays in Connecticut to face NEC-rival Quinnipiac on Sunday.
"We are going to rest up and get ready for Sunday," Hussong said. "It is going to be another tough battle."

Wiring 2 universal wiper motors together
I have 2 universal wiper motors that I have wired together They are wired as follows:
The negative terminal (-) goes to ground.
The positive terminal (+) goes to a fused power source.
The switched terminal (S) goes to one side of a toggle switch and to ground from the other terminal on the toggle switch.
This is not a "Mighty Wiper" brand as their wiring is not as above.
My problem is that when I start the wipers they work and if after a few seconds I shut them down they will shut down. However, if I leave them on for more than say, 20 seconds, and then shut them down, they won't. They keep on running. Sometimes (rarely) they will shut down, but more often than not they won't. I've been told that a diode is needed as there may be some feed back. There are no relays in the system and I don't want to rewire the whole system so that each wiper has it's own source. Each wiper comes from a common feed and each wiper comes from a common ground. Question.....what type and size of diode do I need and where does it go?

TRENDING NOW - Junk Sleep Is Bad For Your Health
Electronic devices are now with us everywhere we go but there is good reason to keep them out of your bedroom.
Maybe you use your e-reader before bedtime, or stay up to watch one last television show but research shows those things can lead to sub-standard sleep cycles.
The National Sleep Foundation polls show about 95-percent of Americans use an electronic device within a hour of going to sleep and that 89-percent of adults and 75-percent of children have at least one such device in their bedrooms.
But the light and noise from these devices can disrupt sleep cycles by tricking your body into thinking it is daytime and thus stopping it from producing a hormone that helps you sleep.
And a 2013 study published in the Behavioral Sleep Medicine journal found that late night use of computers and mobile phones is related to insomnia.
So what do you do? Try an electronic curfew. One hour before bed, remove or turn off all electronic devices in the bedroom. If you have a television, most now have timers that automatically turn of the screen at a chosen time.

Dual-process action of exercise on appetite control : increase in orexigenic drive but improvement in meal-induced satiety
King, Neil A., Caudwell, Phillipa P., Hopkins , Mark, Stubbs, James R., Naslund, Erik, & Blundell, John E. (2009) Dual-process action of exercise on appetite control : increase in orexigenic drive but improvement in meal-induced satiety. American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 90(4), pp. 921-927.

Background: Exercise could contribute to weight loss by altering the sensitivity of the appetite regulatory system.
Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the effects of 12 wk of mandatory exercise on appetite control.
Design: Fifty-eight overweight and obese men and women [mean (±SD) body mass index (in kg/m2) = 31.8 ± 4.5, age = 39.6 ± 9.8 y, and maximal oxygen intake = 29.1 ± 5.7 mL · kg–1 · min–1] completed 12 wk of supervised exercise in the laboratory. The exercise sessions were designed to expend 2500 kcal/wk. Subjective appetite sensations and the satiating efficiency of a fixed breakfast were compared at baseline (week 0) and at week 12. An Electronic Appetite Rating System was used to measure subjective appetite sensations immediately before and after the fixed breakfast in the immediate postprandial period and across the whole day. The satiety quotient of the breakfast was determined by calculating the change in appetite scores relative to the breakfast's energy content.
Results: Despite large variability, there was a significant reduction in mean body weight (3.2 ± 3.6 kg), fat mass (3.2 ± 2.2 kg), and waist circumference (5.0 ± 3.2 cm) after 12 wk. The analysis showed that a reduction in body weight and body composition was accompanied by an increase in fasting hunger and in average hunger across the day (P < 0.0001). Paradoxically, the immediate and delayed satiety quotient of the breakfast also increased significantly (P < 0.05).
Conclusions: These data show that the effect of exercise on appetite regulation involves at least 2 processes: an increase in the overall (orexigenic) drive to eat and a concomitant increase in the satiating efficiency of a fixed meal.

Chemistry is, I will admit, sometimes hard to love. Essentially, I have devoted my academic life to the electron – a particle no one has ever seen and which noted physicist Richard Feynman postulated there was only one in the entire universe.
Molecular geometry is a thorny subject, requiring students to manipulate 3D objects in their heads and deliver the names and bond angles of the resulting shapes which govern many of their properties, such as boiling point and solubility. Ammonia molecules, for example, are tiny squashed pyramids but there are myriad other shapes from seesaws to dog legs.
Engaging with them in 2D, or briefly in school with a never to be seen again plastic model can, understandably, be uninspiring. There are many ways to teach this peculiar topic which only half of the students are able to grasp at first. So it must be approached multiple times in multiple ways.
I always try to teach using riddles and paradoxes, so for this lesson pose the question: if a teacher wants to seat three chatty students equally apart from each other, what seating arrangement should he or she choose?
An equilateral triangle, comes the answer. So what about four students? In a square maybe? No, this separates the student across the square further apart from the others. A circle? What about a kite? No, no and no.
Eventually some bright spark realises that the only place for the fourth student is on the next floor up, making a tetrahedron.
Then I fire up the video game Garry's Mod. Anything is possible in it. Theatre productions can be storyboarded, individually-built rollercoasters ridden, recreations of Bin Laden's last stand, car races and endless physics including buoyancy, acceleration, pendulums and gravity. More importantly, it is a real game, not some faux education chunky, clunky mess.
A student goes 'behind the eyes' of the main character and investigates a world populated by larger than life molecules. They can walk around, manipulate and then destroy them.
Hooking up a Microsoft Kinect device allows further interaction. Students appear within the game, fully articulated, their body movements correlated to the character. Now the molecule can be struck, rotated and vibrated by the flailing of the kids' limbs, just like scientists would do using specialist equipment such as a dual beam infrared spectrophotometer.
Even the management at my school got involved, with staff nearly slipping a disc with a particularly enthusiastic bond vibration. Until you have seen a supervisor perform Gangnam Style avatared through a zombie with oxygen molecules glued to his hands, you haven't lived.
So, it's time for the 'show-you-know' part of the lesson. Using the Flash Gear online resource http://www.flash-gear.com/stereo/ the kids create 3D stereograms of the molecules. These magic eye images were big in the 90s, but many have never seen them before. This requires the translating of a 3D shape into a 2D height map, which will then be pulled back into 3D. Completion of this results in a deep level of understanding, as well as throngs of pupils blocking corridors near class display boards, ogling the eye-popping images.
In terms of learning outcomes, each student will at some stage have created, manipulated and explained to their peers and me molecular geometry.
For more instant results, nothing impresses quicker than the augmented reality app Aurasma. A static scene in real life, say a picture on your desk, can be made to come to life as a video or animation on a tablet screen.
This is easier to do, rather than explain here. So download and open the Aurasma app, search for 'IB Chemistry', click follow, then press '[ ]'.
Here's a YouTube video to show you exactly what I mean. Hold your tablet up to the photo at the end of the clip and a molecule should spring to life before your very eyes.
Delightfully, some students have taken these ideas and improved on them. If you were to hold a tablet up to the mould stain on my classroom ceiling it will play a video explaining the role of penicillin in bacterial warfare.

HARMONY: Baseball season gets under way
WESTOVER — Baseball and softball practices have started, and the teams will be playing games soon!
The players are excited and ready to start their seasons!
The varsity softball coaches are John Cessna and Melissa Mastrine.
The varsity baseball coaches are Ralph Butterworth and Jason Romagna, with the help of Roger Young, a volunteer assistant coach, and Dustin Kurtz, the junior high student coach.
Jason Romagna said, "Hopefully the weather will break and we can get most of our games in. Look forward to a great season!"
Some of the games have already been canceled due to weather, but the first junior high baseball game was Thursday and the varsity baseball team plays today at Mo Valley.
The first varsity softball game was Tuesday and the junior high had a game on Thursday.
The elementary students got some exciting news this week. The PSEA (Pennsylvania State Education Association) has teamed up with the Altoona Curve baseball club and teachers to help their students.
The program, called "Steamer's Student All-Stars," gave each teacher in grades one through six six pairs of Curve tickets. Each teacher passed them out to deserving students.
The particular students will have a chance to be honored in an on-field ceremony.
Students were rewarded with tickets for continued excellence in any subject, improvement in one or more letter grades, or by displaying exceptional leadership skills in the classroom. Parents also have the chance to order additional grandstand tickets at only $5.
The students will be honored at Curve games on April 26-28.
Don't forget! The drama department will be performing the musical "Seussical" at 7 p.m. April 12 and 13 and at 2 p.m. April 14. Tickets will be sold at the door for $5 for general admission.

Texas Lawmakers Oppose Syria Strike
Congress is back in Washington this week. Among the many issues lawmakers are faced with is what to do about Syria. President Barack Obama wants to take action in the form of air strikes. But there are many politicians that are opposed to it, including lawmakers from Texas.
Senator Ted Cruz told ABC News' 'This Week' that the situation in Syria has him angry.
"All of us are outraged at Assad's conduct. He's a brutal murderer," Cruz said.
But Cruz does not support a military strike. .
"I think a military attack is a mistake. The Obama Administration is proceeding with the wrong objective. They have no viable plan for success," Cruz explained.
Houston Congressman Mike McCaul, Chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security has his doubts as well.
"Lobbing missiles won't restore our credibility overseas," McCaul told 'Meet the Press' on NBC. "It's a face saving measure for the President after he drew the red line."
And McCaul also has serious concerns about who the United States might wind up backing in a civil war that has been going on for over two and a half years.
"Who are we supporting? We are supporting a rebel faction that has been infiltrated and hijacked by many Al Qaeda factions," McCaul explained.

Brothers of the Delta Alpha chapter of Theta Chi Fraternity will be on hand around the clock during the 12-day period to serve refreshments and accept donations from a recreational vehicle parked near Dillin Hall. Sodexho Inc., the Linfield food service contractor, is donating refreshments throughout the event.
Each of the 12 days will focus on a different category of giving. Donations of any kind are appreciated and can be made at any time regardless of the focus of the day, said Theta Chi Philanthropy Chair Devin Salinas, who is coordinating the event. In addition to financial contributions, the 50-member fraternity will collect items such as food, clothing, toys, school supplies and sports equipment. Proceeds will benefit the Salvation Army and the local food bank among other organizations.
Assisting the community and local organizations has always been a priority for the brothers of Theta Chi. "It makes you feel good to be able to help people in need, especially during the holiday season," said Salinas. "12 Days of Christmas is a special event because it gives us the opportunity to directly contribute to those around us by donating all our contributions locally."
The 12 Days of Christmas is one of the largest philanthropic events sponsored by students at Linfield.
Theta Chi has more than 150 chapters across the nation and has been on the Linfield campus for over 70 years.
For more information about Theta Chi's 12 Days of Christmas, contact Salinas at email@example.com or 760-793-1894.

doesn't the same avoidance of CPU time wasted lead to increased
throughput though? In most cases, your bottleneck (on CPU's not of
sufficient speed to achieve wire speed) is CPU time spent on
interrupts, i.e. the CPU gets pegged at 100%. I've done a lot of
performance testing, but never with polling enabled. Manuel has
stated in an email (to me personally) that he's tested with and
without polling and saw about a ~50% performance increase with polling
enabled on a 4501.

I know this is primarily not relevant for firewalling purposes, but
does this not come into play with larger loads? Seems every once in a
while somebody stops in with a large network (couple thousand+ hosts)
and is running out of mbufs.
"out of mbufs" seems to crop up for a few people periodically for no
apparent reason under light loads. From some brief research I did a
while back, I believe I came to the rough guess that it was probably
driver bugs, or something of that nature, though I really have no

not any that I quoted. Most I quoted I did myself, in a firewalling
scenario. Some information taken from other benchmarks I've come
across in the past (like the Linux numbers).

desktops? that's probably the last thing I'd consider to be the focus

beside the point though, I completely agree that it isn't suitable.

they knew. I had email discussions with Robert Watson re: the
performance problems we ran into in 5.3, and the general statement was
exactly as you said above - the kernel changes in 5.x provide
measurable performance benefits in many server scenarios, but really
hurt network performance, especially in firewalling scenarios on low
end hardware. I wouldn't say they didn't care, they just had so many
things to work on going forward that it couldn't reasonably be fixed
in 5.x. FreeBSD 6.0 is already reportedly as much as 30% or more
faster than 4.x in firewalling scenarios with SMP, but it still lags
quite a bit behind in uniprocessor environments. With multiple core
processors becoming the norm going forward in all but the embedded
world, they're certainly moving in the right direction for the future
for the vast majority of the project.

That's not entirely true. I have tested a recent OpenBSD and FreeBSD
6 in firewalling scenarios. I didn't make note of the numbers, so I'm
going to put together some new tests with the latest of everything.
This was the latest of both around June or July of this year. On a
WRAP or 4801, OpenBSD measured at around 20 Mb, FreeBSD 6.0 at around
30 Mb, and FreeBSD 4.11 at around 45 Mb single TCP connection max
throughput. OpenBSD and FreeBSD 4.11 don't seem to degrade much as
you increase pps, while FreeBSD 6.0 does see some degradation.
(though not nearly as severe as 5.3, which could do about 11 Mb single
TCP stream max through a 4501, but only 3.5 Mb when hammered with
bittorrent traffic).

I'd expand this to wireless support in general. It's not only the

I'm no wireless guru, but I believe Jim Thompson, who I would
certainly consider a wireless guru, has stated in the past something
along the lines of the Atheros drivers are binary because much of the
control of the hardware is done via the driver, as far as staying in
compliance with FCC and other regulations around the world. Given the
ability to bypass this, people no doubt would.

Jim Thompson, who I'd consider unbiased and more than qualified to do
this testing, stated OpenBSD's ath support just doesn't work.

I have no idea what's involved with that, but even if that kind of
effort was put into it, you're then in a situation where you have the
driver support, but the software support is very poor in comparison to
FreeBSD 6.0. Again, I'm no wireless expert, but a *lot* of effort has
been put into the wireless support in 6. It's my understanding that
it has many features that aren't in any other BSD, and it's on par
with Linux for the most part.

I can see that argument to some extent, but the computing world
revolves around black box code, in firewalls and the vast majority of
OS installations. Even if all your OS source is open, the BIOS code
likely isn't. There will likely always be "black box" code somewhere.

Just lacking in data, they're correct. whether them being correct is
a major issue is another question.
> 7) Improved IPsec support, including NAT-T.
FreeBSD 6 has this now too, with a NAT-T kernel patch that hasn't yet
been incorporated (but seems to work fine).
I'll give you the rest of the points.
After this post, OpenBSD is sounding a bit more attractive to me.
But there are some major outstanding issues if OpenBSD is to be
successfully implemented, like:
- PPPoE
- PPTP server, passthrough, and WAN support
- implementing captive portal, traffic shaping, and firewalling with a
single firewalling package (pf) - the reason for the captive portal
change back to ipfw in pfsense was due to the fact that it was
extremely difficult to get the rules right for all three of those
simultaneously (with the primary issue being CP and ALTQ being very
difficult to get and keep working together properly)
This still depends on what our end goal is though. If we want good
wireless support, FreeBSD is our best option by far. If we don't care
to almost completely ditch wireless support, and if all the
outstanding issues can be resolved satisfactorily, OpenBSD sounds like
our best bet.
Wireless support seems pretty important though. 27% of our users
(that answered the survey) are currently using it, 63% ranked it as a
3 or higher in importance with only 20% saying not important, and 72%
that don't currently use wireless claim they would if it included
improved hardware and software support. IMO, that's too big of a
number to choose OpenBSD and hence throw out wireless support.
There are also some major issues to wrapping a GUI around ALTQ. I'm
trying to get some details on the shaping and CP issues encountered in
pfsense, and I'll post back if I can get some further info.
