Companion of Life, Guardian of Death,
more and more I resemble an old gnarled tree,
wrinkled bark, gray boughs, thinning leaves.
The ground around my roots is weakening.
My limbs bend and no longer stretch very far.
Grant me the ability to not be afraid,
even in face of significant physical change.
Be a source of deepening hope
during my internal and external adjustment.
Keep me trusting in the deepest part of myself
where love and vitality are stored.
Teach me about true and everlasting beauty,
to be compassionate with my body in its growing frailty,
to love my mind and heart even as my life wanes,
to befriend the wrinkles and accept the grayness,
to be unthreatened by the depletion of my energy
and the waning of memory that was once keenly alert.
Ancient One,
Fill my heart with joy in the little gifts of life.
Let me find sources of comfort and serenity
in the midst of my aches and loss.
Be my near, ever-vigilant Beloved, as I experience
The creaks and groans of the aging process.
Show me how to embrace this transition time
as my soul ripens for its final journey home.
"When you have grey hair, you will still find wisdom." – Ecclesiastes 6:18

Running back Edgerrin James, receivers Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald and quarterbacks Matt Leinart and Kurt Warner are household names.
But the biggest upgrade has been made on defense, where the additions of players such as linebackers Clark Haggans and Travis LaBoy should make a big difference.
"Oh, man. I didn't even know how many weapons we have," said defensive end Antonio Smith. "We have so many weapons. We're going to be stacked. I don't think it's going to be a starter or a non-starter. I think it's going to be more like what New York had last year, when anybody could come in and make the defense work."
The Cardinals had one of the most explosive offenses in the NFL in the latter half of 2007. Every starter returns, but there are still challenges.
Coach Ken Whisenhunt didn't settle on a quarterback through camp, and now it appears Matt Leinart has lost the job to Kurt Warner. Leinart likely will have to play some this year, so Whisenhunt will need to restore Leinart's confidence.
Boldin is upset the team hasn't extended his contract, and he's ripped management and Whisenhunt.
The impact of those issues remains to be seen. It probably won't be great since professional athletes are more accustomed to contract squabbles than anyone.
The biggest challenge for Whisenhunt and his staff will be instilling some discipline and intelligence. The Cardinals were penalized more than any other team last year, and they don't look much better in the preseason.
Mistakes ruined their season last year, playing big roles in two losses to the 49ers, as well as to the Redskins, Panthers and a handful of other NFC teams.
"They always say the first year is the learning year and the next year is the polishing year," said left tackle Mike Gandy. "And I think that's definitely the case. Anytime you get new players and new schemes you just have to learn how to get better as a team and grow as a team."
COACHING: Ken Whisenhunt, 2nd year (8-8).
REMEMBERING: 2007 record: 8-8 (2nd in NFC West). The team was 2-6 on the road and lost twice to the 49ers.
PREDICTING: 2008 regular season record 9-7 (2nd in NFC West); lose in the wild-card round.
--Ken Whisenhunt made good on his threat to start benching players who commit selfish penalties. After DE Darnell Dockett was called for unsportsmanlike conduct against the Raiders, he was out for the next two series. "Penalties kind of calmed down after that, didn't they?" Whisenhunt said.
--Whisenhunt denied a report that he had named QB Kurt Warner the starter. "Contrary to everything I've heard. We have not made a decision. We have not named Kurt the starting quarterback. So that was inaccurate and it was unfortunate it was out there."
--WR Anquan Boldin tried to back away a bit from his recent criticism of Whisenhunt for getting involved in negotiations. Boldin told a national radio show that his comments were taken out of context. But he's the one who first brought them, criticizing Whisenhunt to a reporter from NFL.com.
--"I said to the team, 'Please, nobody get hurt and trip in the stampede to leave this field,'" Whisenhunt said as the team left training camp in Flagstaff.
BY THE NUMBERS: 11 - The number of years that have passed since the team returned its entire starting offensive line from the previous season.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "Oh, man. I didn't even know how many weapons we have. We have so many weapons. We're going to be stacked. I don't think it's going to be a starter or a non-starter. I think it's going to be more like what New York had last year, when anybody could come in and make the defense work." -- DE Antonio Smith on the talent on defense.
Coach Ken Whisenhunt might not name a starting quarterback until next week. If Whisenhunt knows what he's going to do, he's not admitting it. Most observers expect him to go with Kurt Warner.
PLAYER TO WATCH: RB Tim Hightower - A fifth-round pick from Richmond, he supposedly lacked breakaway speed. But he's shown a great burst this preseason and he's scored touchdowns in every game. Hightower is a downhill, one-cut runner who also shows great patience in reading blocks. He won't take over for Edgerrin James this year, but that could change a year from now.
Rd. 1/16, CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, Tennessee State -- He's shown great speed in the preseason and a willingness to tackle. Still needs work on technique and will be a backup this season.
Rd. 2/50, DE Calais Campbell, Miami -- A good athlete and at 6-8, he can be disruptive. He'll be a backup and will play in nickel situations at tackle.
Rd. 3/81, WR Early Doucet, LSU -- Progress was delayed by a hamstring injury. He won't be a factor early but could contribute after a few weeks.
Rd. 4/116, DE Kenny Iwebema, Iowa -- A strong run defender who has shown flashes. He should be able to play a few snaps off the bench.
Rd. 5/149, RB Tim Hightower, Richmond - Looks like one of the team's best late-round picks in years. Explosive and quick to make cuts. He's smart and mature, too.
Rd. 6/185, OLB Chris Harrington, Texas A&M -- He played defensive end in college, so the transition isn't easy. He looks like he could be a good player.
Rd. 7/225, OT Brandon Keith, Northern Iowa -- He has the athletic ability to play left tackle one day. The Cardinals think he was a great value.
QUARTERBACK: Starter - Kurt Warner. Backups - Matt Leinart, Brian St. Pierre, Anthony Morelli.
Whisenhunt hasn't named a starter, but Leinart's inconsistencies will make it hard not to pick Warner. Warner lacks mobility and fumbles too much, but he's also fearless and this team trusts him. Leinart has looked tentative in recent weeks and doesn't appear confident. St. Pierre is a solid veteran and Morelli has a great arm.
RUNNING BACKS: Starters - RB Edgerrin James, FB Tim Castille. Backups - RB Tim Hightower, RB J.J. Arrington, FB Terrelle Smith.
James still has the talent to rush for 1,200 to 1,400 yards and handle 300 plus carries. But Hightower might ease that work load. He's too explosive to sit on the bench. Castille is a good athlete who can catch, but Smith is a better blocker. It will be hard to keep Smith on the bench.
TIGHT ENDS: Starter - Leonard Pope. Backups - Ben Patrick, Jerame Tuman.
Pope is an excellent receiver who sometimes struggles to block. Patrick also is a good receiver and is learning how to block. Tuman is a solid veteran who is a capable blocker.
WIDE RECEIVERS: Starters - Anquan Boldin, Larry Fitzgerald. Backups - Steve Breaston, Jerheme Urban, Early Doucet, Sean Morey.
Boldin is one of the toughest, most competitive guys in the league and is dangerous after he catches the ball. Fitzgerald has freakish ability. He is so strong and athletic that smaller corners don't have much of a chance. Breaston has improved from a year ago but he's unproven. Urban has size and speed, but he hasn't proven he can make the tough catch. Doucet, a rookie, should make a push to play. Morey is a special teams player.
OFFENSIVE LINE: Starters - LT Mike Gandy, LG Reggie Wells, C Al Johnson, RG Deuce Lutui, RT Levi Brown. Backups - G/T Elton Brown, C Lyle Sendlein, G/T Brandon Keith, T Keith Butler, C Pat Ross.
Gandy, Wells and Johnson are solid, although Johnson will miss the opener. Lutui and Brown must play better than last year. Brown is a solid reserve, as is Sendlein. The others are unproven. Coaches are high on Keith, but the club is in trouble if injuries hit.
DEFENSIVE LINE: Starters - LE Darnell Dockett, NT Bryan Robinson, RE Antonio Smith. Backups - DE Calais Campbell, DE Kenny Iwebema, NT Gabe Watson, NT Alan Branch, DE Joe Tafoya.
Dockett has Pro Bowl ability but must play smarter. He gets too many penalties. Robinson will be a backup once Watson returns from injury. Smith is solid, not spectacular. Robinson is valuable because he plays inside and outside. Campbell and Iwebema are promising rookies.
LINEBACKERS: Starters - OLB Chike Okeafor, OLB Travis LaBoy, ILB Gerald Hayes, ILB Karlos Dansby. Backups - OLB Bertrand Berry, OLB Clark Haggans, OLB Chris Harrington. ILB Ali Highsmith, ILB Monty Beisel, ILB Matt Stewart, ILB Brandon Moore.
This is the deepest position on the team. The starters are solid, and Dansby has Pro Bowl ability. Hayes is a real thumper. Haggans and Berry are two great backups. Beisel is reliable and Highsmith is a talented rookie.
DEFENSIVE BACKS: Starters - CB Rod Hood, CB Eric Green, SS Adrian Wilson, FS Antrel Rolle. Backups - CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, CB Ralph Brown, S Aaron Francisco, S Matt Ware, CB Michael Adams.
Hood is an underrated cover guy, and Green is showing improvement. The strength of the unit is at safety. Wilson is among the best in the NFL, and Rolle should be better at free safety than he was at cornerback. Francisco and Ware have played a lot of snaps in recent years. Rodgers-Cromartie, the first-round pick, has tremendous speed. Brown is a smart veteran.
SPECIAL TEAMS: PK Neil Rackers, P Dirk Johnson, LS Nathan Hodel, PR Steve Breaston, KOR Steve Breaston, J.J. Arrington.
Rackers is coming off a disappointing year when he missed two potential game winners. Johnson has been average in the preseason. Breaston is a breakaway threat, as is Arrington.

The Benefit of Loving A Dog
Owning a dog could decrease your risk of developing heart disease. That was the finding of a new study published on Circulation online. Researchers found that pet ownership, especially dog ownership, is linked to reduced blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and development of obestity.
"It reaffirms the notion that having a dog is good for your heart, lowering your blood pressure, lowering the stress hormones in your body, and is a good thing to keep your heart healthy," KTRH health expert Dr. Joe Galati says.
The study looked at more than 5,200 adults and found those that owned dogs were more active, an inevitable effect of owning a pet that requires frequent outings.
"We would agree with that report," confirms KTRH pet expert Dr. Brian Beale. "Many studies in the past by many different groups have looked at the benefits of animals on human health."
Almost 80 million American own a dog, and even more, 86.4 million, own at least one cat. The impact of cats on the health of their owners is still being evaluated.
"The effect of having pets when you do have health problems is that it certainly benefits by lowering blood pressure and lowering overall stress levels," said Dr. Beale. "They have a relaxing effect on people, and this undoubtedly will lead to improvement in your health."
He says some people not only live longer lives as the result of owning pets, but happier ones as well.

High sensitivity GPS receivers have extended the use of GNSS navigation to environments which were previously deemed unsuitable for satellite signal reception. Under adverse conditions the signals become attenuated and reflected. High sensitivity receivers achieve signal reception by using a large number of correlators and an extended integration time. Processing the observation data in dynamic and rapidly changing conditions requires a careful and consistent treatment. Code-based autonomous solutions can cause major errors in the estimated position, due primarily to multipath effects. A custom procedure of autonomous GPS positioning has been developed, boosting the positioning performance through appropriate processing of code and Doppler observations. Besides the common positioning procedures, robust estimation methods have been used to minimise the effects of gross observation errors. In normal conditions, differential GNSS yields good results, however, under adverse conditions, it fails to improve significantly the receiver's position. Therefore, a so-called conditional DGPS has been developed which determines the position differentially by using data from the strong signals only. These custom-developed procedures have been tested in different conditions in static and kinematic cases and the results have been compared to those processed by the receiver.
Standard GNSS positioning was previously limited to open areas that guaranteed the unobstructed reception of GNSS satellites signals. With the emergence of so-called high sensitivity GPS receivers (HS GPS), the practical application of GNSS has expanded to include areas with poor signal reception. Challenging environments, such as urban canyons, forested areas and indoors are often labelled as "indoor" environments [
Upon its arrival on Earth, the GPS signal is already weak. Regular GNSS receivers are able to track signals attenuated by the atmosphere only. If a signal passes through a physical substance, the signal becomes too weak to be tracked by a regular GNSS receiver. HS GPS receivers are able to track exceptionally weak signals by incorporating a large number of correlators and employing an extended integration period. Regular GNSS receivers incorporate up to 50 correlators [
According to [
HS GPS receivers track signals from GPS satellites on the L1 frequency. The results of the signal tracking are usually code pseudoranges, carrier-phase and Doppler observables. A SNR value is also typically available. Most of the HS GPS receivers available on the open market determine the current position internally and output their results via NMEA 0183 messages. Only a few of them can be setup to output raw observation data.
Custom positioning procedures can be developed only by processing raw observation data. Therefore, only GPS receivers with raw data output were considered for the survey tests. Two u-blox evaluation kits with a raw data output option were used in the tests, namely the AEK-4T and EVK-5T. The AEK-4T employs the Antaris GPS chip and offers rates of up to 10 Hz for raw data, whilst the EVK-5T relies on the u-blox 5 Positioning Engine which supports a 2 Hz raw data update rate. Both receivers are able to determine and output the following data: code pseudoranges; carrier-phase measurements; Doppler measurements and SNR values. However, the AEK-4T receiver is able to output carrier-phase observables only for signals with a SNR over 30 dBHz, meaning that there is no carrier-phase data for the attenuated signals. On the other hand, carrier-phase measurements from the EVK-5T are available even for the weakest signals. Owing to the limitations of one of the receivers, the custom positioning solution depends on code pseudoranges and Doppler observables only.
Basic autonomous positioning is based on processing the code pseudoranges in the least squares adjustment. Four unknowns have to be determined in the process: the 3D position coordinates of the receiver and the receiver clock offset. A pseudorange is affected by a number of biases and possible errors: the satellite position; the satellite clock offsets; the ionosphere bias; the troposphere bias; multipath and noise. All biases have to be modelled to obtain the estimated unknowns to the highest possible degree of accuracy and reliability.
Multipath is a phenomenon whereby the receiver's antenna receives a GPS signal from different paths. This is caused by the reflection of the signal off reflective surfaces near the receiver. Multipath depends entirely on the local environment and is therefore nearly impossible to model. Theoretically, multipath can reach up to one half of a wavelength of a pseudorange (up to 150 m for code observations) and up to one quarter of a wavelength of the carrier phase (a few cm) [
Atmospheric biases can be mitigated with ionosphere and troposphere models. An ionosphere bias can be cancelled out by applying dual frequency observations. However, HS GPS receivers are single frequency receivers and for such observations an ionosphere model has to be used, e.g., the Klobuchar model. A troposphere bias can be mitigated via a combination of a tropospheric zenith delay and a mapping function. More on the topic can be found in [
Some additional methods are used in classical GPS positioning procedures to attempt to enhance the accuracy of the results achieved. Signals with low elevation angles are affected to a greater degree with atmospheric refraction than signals at high elevation angles. Elevation angle weighting can be used to compensate for the different quality of the signals. Signals with lower SNR values are generally assumed to be of a lesser quality than those with high SNR values. Some authors suggest using SNR weighting [
If carrier-phase or Doppler observations are available, then errors in code-based observations can be mitigated by smoothing code-based observations. This smoothing technique is achieved using aso-called Hatch filter [
Outliers are common in observations that take place in multipath and attenuated environments. The first option is to try to eliminate outliers from the mathematical model. However, based on our experience, it is difficult to accurately detect and eliminate outliers in such conditions. The second option is to minimise the effect of gross errors on the final solution. This can be achieved by robust estimation.
Least squares adjustment methods yield a correct interpretation of the results if no outliers are present in the solution and all the systematic errors are modelled. According to [
The custom developed procedure for GNSS positioning under adverse conditions relies on the modified L1-norm robust estimation. A residual value of zero results in a deletion by zero, see
As mentioned above, Doppler measurements can be used to smooth code observations. In our experiments, however, this procedure has not produced promising results. Doppler values can also be used for so-called Doppler positioning. Positioning is realised using Doppler observations only, as suggested in [
The custom procedure for the positioning of the following epochs (after the initial epoch) determines the receiver clock offset and the position unknowns separately. The receiver clock offset is determined by Doppler observables only. The use of code-based observations in estimating the receiver clock offset can cause anomalies which often occur when the number of tracked satellites changes between epochs. After the receiver clock offset has been determined, the position unknowns are determined using code and Doppler observations. Doppler observations are included in the model as shown in
One additional feature of the procedure is the recalculation of the ranges after each epoch. The ranges between the receiver and the satellites are calculated using the adjusted current position. These ranges then become input data for the following epoch instead of the pseudoranges.
DGPS is a positioning technique whereby the position of the rover is determined using code pseudorange corrections, calculated by the reference receiver. The achieved position accuracy is refined to a scale of 1 metre, whereas the accuracy of an autonomous position is around 10 metres [
Since DGPS does not perform well under adverse conditions where signal reception is poor, so-called conditional DGPS (cDGPS) has been developed, in which only strong signals are used to secure the positioning. Strong signals are defined as those with a SNR value above 35 dBHz, which is usually the limit value for the signal tracking of regular GNSS receivers [
The experiments were carried out on-site at the Faculty of Civil and Geodetic Engineering in Ljubljana, Slovenia. The tests were performed under different conditions and at different times in static and kinematic modes. Reference points and kinematic survey outlines are shown in
The horizontal coordinates of the surveyed points are expressed as
Several autonomous solutions were determined from each survey: C1 (code-based positioning); D1 (Doppler positioning); C1&D1 (common processing of code and Doppler observations); custom C1&D1 (as described in Section 2.1.); NMEA (positions, determined by the receiver, extracted from NMEA messages). The elevation angle weighting and SNR weighting were also tested. DGPS solutions are labelled DGPS, whereas the conditional DGPS is represented by the label cDGPS. The symbols I and T represent the use of ionosphere and troposphere models respectively.
The first task was to assess DGPS under different conditions. As expected, DGPS performs well under normal conditions. The results of a 10-minute static survey in environment (a) are shown in
Under adverse conditions, the results are markedly different.
All signals are attenuated and multipath becomes a permanent feature inside objects. This causes large errors in positions which were estimated using code-based positioning. As seen in
The positioning procedures and the equipment were both tested in different kinematic surveys and under different conditions. Their outlines are depicted in
Once again, code-only positioning yields major position errors—see plot (i). The results are considerably better using the custom positioning procedure, when either the initial position is known (ii) or the ionosphere and the troposphere models are used (iii). As a comparison, the internal position is also shown—see plot (iv). The positions remain close to one another, although the cluster of points ought to be under the overhanging roof.
The results of the cDGPS of the same survey are shown in
The first plot (i) demonstrates why the Doppler-only solution is not the best option. Whilst the Doppler positioning performs particularly well under normal conditions this is not the case under adverse conditions. The path scale appears to be slightly reduced. Plot (ii) illustrates the results of Doppler smoothing of code observations using the Hatch filter. The procedure causes major deviations from the actual path. In this particular case, the best solution is the custom procedure of C1 and D1 with the additional application of the elevation angle weighting and the SNR weighting. Again, the results of the internal processing are also shown as a comparison.
The results of the cDGPS of the same survey are shown in
Environment (f) presents consistently adverse conditions for the reception of GPS signals. Some characteristic solutions are presented in
Once again, the custom positioning procedure offers the best results. If the atmosphere models are applied, the positions shift by approximately 4 metres to the south, although the heights are considerably closer to the real values. The difference in the height component is more than 30 metres. If the elevation angle weighting is applied, the positions shift almost 20 metres to the north. The cDGPS cannot be performed since only 1 epoch fulfils the required conditions for cDGPS.
A wide range of experiments under different conditions were carried out. Several solutions were obtained for each test survey, although only some of the solutions for each case have been presented. Other solutions and cases not presented here demonstrated the same tendencies.
In general, basic positioning using code pseudoranges only tend to cause major position errors beyond 100 m under adverse conditions. The application of Doppler observations in addition to code-based observations and proper processing procedure can drastically improve the accuracy of the results achieved. The Doppler-only solution is clearly deficient, as can be seen in
The best overall solution and also the sturdiest positioning technique is the custom procedure using both types of observables, code and Doppler. As can be seen from
The ionosphere and the troposphere both affect the propagation of all signals, irrespective of the conditions experienced by the receiver. Therefore, the ionosphere and the troposphere models should be used in any case to enhance the accuracy of the results. Proof of this is indicated by the case studies presented.
The conditional DGPS is applicable in a mixed-condition environment of a kinematic survey. If the conditions for the reception of the signals are particularly bad, then the cDGPS cannot be used. Conditional DGPS can be used however under conditions which experience periods of minor attenuation and multipath level. Results of the cDGPS in two cases can be seen in
High sensitivity GPS extends the use of GNSS positioning to environments where signals are attenuated and reflected. HS GPS enables positioning even indoors, although only to a certain degree. GPS positioning inside objects is usually limited to top floors and the proximity of outer walls.
Code-based autonomous positioning can often result in major errors of the estimated position. Therefore, observations under adverse conditions should be treated with caution. Owing to the limitations of the equipment available, the custom developed positioning is based on single frequency code pseudoranges and Doppler observations. The procedure relies on the modified L1-norm robust estimation to mitigate the influence of gross observation errors. The receiver clock offset and the position unknowns are determined separately. The clock offset is estimated using Doppler observations only, whereas the position is determined using both code and Doppler observables. An additional feature is the recalculation of the satellite ranges after each epoch. Geometric ranges are used instead of pseudoranges in the subsequent epoch. The initial position, however, has to be determined by code-only positioning since only relative velocities between the receiver and the satellites can be derived from Doppler observations. Therefore, in order to consider Doppler observables for positioning, reference ranges are required. The accuracy of the positions of the subsequent epochs depends upon the accuracy of the initial position. For this reason, it is essential that the initial position should be determined in an environment where conditions are favourable. The best initial position would ideally be determined by DGPS or by the cDGPS.
Additional models and weightings can be applied to the positioning procedure. The elevation angle weighting and the SNR weighting can, in some cases, result in a better solution, although they can also cause gross position errors. On the other hand, the ionosphere and the troposphere models should be used in any case and under any conditions. The custom positioning procedure using code and Doppler observations with applied atmosphere models offers the best results for autonomous positioning under adverse conditions. The accuracy achieved is close to the accuracy level obtained under normal conditions.
Under adverse conditions DGPS cannot be used because the quality of the results deteriorates. On the other hand, conditional DGPS maybe applicable if enough strong signals are available. In should be noted that DGPS in general can only be performed if the data from a reference receiver is available. The use of conditional DGPS raises the quality of the calculated positions considerably.

Marry, F**k Or Kill: "Dexter," "Homeland" & "Revenge" Return!
Listen up friends and family members: if you're interested in seeing me for the next few months, you'll have to pick any other day but Sunday. See, every Sunday I have a standing date with my television to watch a trifecta of my favorite shows: the new seasons of "Dexter," "Homeland," and "Revenge" all premiered last night and it was basically the hottest and most exciting date night my TV and I have had in months. (No offense to one of my other favorite Sunday night shows, "Breaking Bad," but even the most exciting episode of BB can't be expected to trump three shows, you know?) After the jump, a key scene from each premiere episode. Spoilers abound, so proceed with caution!
KILL: "Revenge." To be honest, the "Revenge" premiere was a little lacking in comparison to the brilliance found in the preview two episodes, but it also definitely took the edge off the stress they brought on. So many things have changed since last summer in the Hamptons! Daniel is dating Ashley! Amanda is really, really pregnant with Jack's baby … or we think it's Jack's baby anyway. Charlotte is doing well in rehab! Sort of. And Victoria is dead … or is she?

NEW PORT RICHEY — River Ridge's second-half comeback fell short as Pasco held on 49-30 Friday night.
The Pirates (7-3) scored every point in the first half. Jaquan Clower scored on their opening drive from 62 yards out. Malik Johns scored the next three touchdowns on passes of 5, 33 and 31 yards from Grant Starling to make it 28-0 at the half.
"They're competitors; we knew we had a big challenge with Pasco," River Ridge coach Ryan Benjamin said. "These guys step up to any challenge."
River Ridge (3-7) came out ready to play in the second half. Patrick Mathieson gave the Royal Knights life with touchdown passes to Craig Bell (12 yards) and Brandon Lempfert (35 yards).
Clower responded with a 4-yard touchdown run. But River Ridge never backed down. Chris Schwarz ran for a 2-yard touchdown and Patrick Cook returned a fumble 49 yards to cut the lead to 35-30.
But Johns was determined to seal the deal. He scored a 14-yard touchdown and scored his fifth from 21 yards late in the fourth quarter to put the game out of reach.

Biography of Saul Bass
Saul Bass, a native of New York City, was educated at the Art Students League and then studied with Gyorgy Kepes at Brooklyn College. Bass was enormously influenced by Kepes, from whom he learned the basic elements of design and developed a growing sense of humanism in the visual arts. After working for a number of advertising agencies, Bass established the design consulting firm Saul Bass and Associates in 1952. During his career, Bass worked for both major corporations and smaller enterprises and was responsible for some of this century's most enduring emblems, including the AT&T globe logo.
In addition to creating posters and prints, Bass was very active in the field of motion pictures. He designed promotional material for studios and soon began creating on-screen graphic sequences that, like his corporate designs, were major innovative advances in the field. Bass also wrote and directed a number of short films and directed the now famous shower scene in the film Psycho.
Aside from its widespread public presence, Bass's graphic work has been exhibited in museums throughout the United States and Europe, including the Museum of Modern Art and the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum in New York, as well as the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. The recipient of numerous design awards, Bass was also recognized for his excellence in motion-picture making.

In what could jump-start agencies' steps toward open government, a two-day Codeathon event for the developer and IT communities will be held this weekend in Washington, D.C.
Sponsored by Microsoft and the League of Technical Voters (LTV) -- a nonprofit group that aims to motivate and assist technical experts to improve lawmaking and governmental processes -- the event will display examples of improved citability on government Web sites.
Citability supports making public government documents and data available online and citable so they can be easily referenced for public debate, commentary and analysis, according to the event Web page. This requires that archived versions of documents be stored and linkable so that changes can be easily spotted and reference links remain intact.
"This is a great way to spend time with a lot of other smart, interesting techies while putting your skills toward something good in the world," according to the Web page. "We will make the implementation of citability free and easy for government employees by providing modifications to free open source software, new free software and extensions to existing proprietary systems."
The citations can be as simple as linking a specific paragraph in a policy by a blogger or as complex as a group of attorneys and judges debating a regulation, Microsoft officials stated in a press release.

You'd have to slit my throat and kill me,
Detaching my head from its enabled body,
To spill my thoughts and experience my dream world.
Only then could you ever truly paint
With all the pigments of my imagination to recreate
My fantasies and bind them in a book to finally read my mind.
You'd have to take a saw to my chest and cut me open,
Separating skin and bones from my soul,
To hear the broken beat and know my heart.
Only then could you ever truly see
The imperfection that is my genetic makeup
When all you've ever known is my flawlessness.
You'd have to crush my hands and smash my fingers,
Unbuttoning my joints, keeping these capable palms
From my will, never again to get a hold on my thoughts.
Only then could you ever truly feel
The empty weight of your hands hanging at your sides,
Knowing that mine no longer carry emotion.
You'd have to break my legs and unscrew my feet,
Leaving me without means of escape, so I could lay on my back
Forever, searching for lightless points on your popcorn ceiling.
Only then could you ever truly realize,
That my creativity is not limited by a lack of limbs;
And no limitation on inspiration could take that away.

What is the Microsoft Select scheme?
The University of Dundee has an agreement with CHEST (the Combined Higher Education Software Team), also known as EDUSERV, with Microsoft, and with a designated Microsoft Reseller. This enables us to sell individual Microsoft software products at much reduced prices to University departments.
The software covered is a large proportion of all software produced by Microsoft, although it does not cover everything.
Different to the University's Campus Agreements, which are essentially renewable rental agreements, MS Select allows departments to purchase and use software for as long as they wish.
The agreement is administered on the University's behalf by UoD IT. This is unrelated to site licensing, as Microsoft does not sell site licences.
How can I access the Microsoft Select scheme?
We advise that you firstly check that the software you want is not already licensed under the University's Campus Agreements. This is the most cost effective way of accessing licensed software.
If the software you are looking for is not available under Campus Agreements, check the product list on the CHEST site to find out if it's available that way.
To order software - submit a Purchase Order via Service Desk
Note: We can only order software on receipt of a University Purchase order. We cannot accept cash or sell software to individuals.
What products are available and how much are they?
An up-to-date list of all software products is available on the CHEST website.
What are the conditions of purchasing a licence?
For more details about the Microsoft Select scheme or to place an order please contact Service Desk.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 2/9/2009 (2880 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Barbara Schott
I don't know where Lindor Reynolds got her facts, but a women at 5-11 and 180 pounds has a BMI of 25, which is considered normal by the medical community. A BMI over 33 is obese (depending on age and height). The average Canadian woman is 5-4 and weighs 153 pounds, which is considered slightly overweight. I was angered by her idea of plus-size as a size 12 (which again is the average pant size for a Canadian woman). The plus-size dress shops don't even start at size 12, it is 14 and their 14 is bigger than a department store. Most of us are not tall and slim but much shorter and heavier. From a real plus-size woman.

To act or not to act? There should be no question
I'm proud to say I'm the father of three athletes. I'm lucky to say that none of my children have fallen victim to sudden cardiac arrest. But, what if this did happen? What if I wasn't there? Would someone know how to help?
In addition to my role as dad, I also am a cardiologist at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin. One of the programs we offer is Project ADAM, an initiative that helps schools recognize and respond appropriately to cardiac emergencies.
Each year we experience episodes of sudden cardiac arrest in children and adolescents, many of them athletes. These victims were with people who knew how to help, but didn't. Why? In many cases, these victims appeared to be having a seizure.
When someone goes into cardiac arrest, what appears to be a seizure can be the result of lack of blood flow and oxygen to the brain. During this time, it always is better to do something than nothing. In this setting, tell someone to call 911 immediately, start CPR and apply an automated external defibrillator. The AED will determine if a shockable rhythm is present. It will not shock someone who does not need to be shocked.
If someone has gasping respirations it may also be a cardiac arrest. Check for a pulse. If in doubt, use an AED. The 2010 American Health Association has created these guidelines for responding to an actual sudden cardiac arrest.
Learn more about how you can help your child's school get the CPR training and AEDs it needs here. You could help save a life.

Sorting into bins
I wish to sort a list of {{x,y}...} values into uneven bins using the
x values to locate the bin but have the bins contain the y values.
This seems like an application for BinLists but it only seems to work
on a list of x values. The motivation is to give a spectra in terms of
1/3 octaves which is a standard presentation in acoustics. Below I
construct the bin center frequencies cf, the bin boundaries bb and
generate a time history th, spectra, yy and corresponding frequencies
xx. How do I then sort the list into my bins?
Hugh Goyder
cf = Table[(1/100.) Round[100 (1000/1024) 2^n], {n, 1, 15, 1/3}];
bb = Table[Sqrt[cc[[i]]*cc[[i + 1]]], {i, 1, Length[cc] - 1}];
sr = 60000.;
th = Table[y, {y, 0, 1, 1/sr}]; n = Length[th];
yy = Take[
Fourier[th, FourierParameters -> {1, -1}], {1, Ceiling[n/2]}];
data = Transpose[{xx, yy}];

Pittypat And Tippytoe - Poem by Eugene Field
All day long they come and go--
Pittypat and Tippytoe;
Footprints up and down the hall,
Playthings scattered on the floor,
Finger-marks along the wall,
Tell-tale smudges on the door--
By these presents you shall know
Pittypat and Tippytoe.
How they riot at their play!
And a dozen times a day
In they troop, demanding bread--
Only buttered bread will do,
And the butter must be spread
Inches thick with sugar too!
And I never can say "No,
Pittypat and Tippytoe!"
Sometimes there are griefs to soothe,
Sometimes ruffled brows to smooth;
For (I much regret to say)
Tippytoe and Pittypat
Sometimes interrupt their play
With an internecine spat;
Fie, for shame! to quarrel so--
Pittypat and Tippytoe!
Oh the thousand worrying things
Every day recurrent brings!
Hands to scrub and hair to brush,
Search for playthings gone amiss,
Many a wee complaint to hush,
Many a little bump to kiss;
Life seems one vain, fleeting show
To Pittypat and Tippytoe!
And when day is at an end,
There are little duds to mend;
Little frocks are strangely torn,
Little shows great holes reveal,
Little hose, but one day worn,
Rudely yawn at toe and heel!
Who but you could work such woe,
Pittypat and Tippytoe!
On the floor and down the hall,
Rudely smutched upon the wall,
There are proofs in every kind
Of the havoc they have wrought,
And upon my heart you'd find
Just such trade-marks, if you sought;
Oh, how glad I am 'tis so,
Pittypat and Tippytoe!

My grandpa told me he tears up every time he reads this. It certainly is a wonderful tribute to the fleeting wonders of childhood and to the heroes and heroines who look after those same children. (Report) Reply

Shipping your goods abroad can add to the stress of relocating, if you choose a shoddy shipping agency. But a reliable agency will ensure a stress-free experience, avoiding any unwanted surprises along the way. The key word here: reliability.
Easy online quote
Your shipping agency should give you a quote without having to leave your home, deal with tons of paper work or spend ages on the telephone. It's the 21st century – if you're not online, you're behind.
Sufficient choices for shipping your cargo
Your agency should give you the option to choose the mode of transport that suits your final destination, urgency and budget, letting you choose to ship your goods by road, sea or air. If transport options are limited, skip it.
Track your goods online
Never lose track of your goods again. We all know someone whose prized parakeet somehow ended up in Peru, and not Australia, as planned. Make sure the company offers a sophisticated online shipment tracking system; one that lets you monitor the location and status of your consignment. This system should preferably include the vessel/flight, container number/air waybill number, estimated date of arrival at destination port/airport, as well as the contact details of a local representative.
Nationwide service
Your shipping company should let you deliver and collect excess baggage and packing cartons from all over the United Kingdom. A reliable agency should ensure that certain areas, like Manchester, Edinburgh and Glasgow, enjoy a next-day free delivery and collection service, while other UK collection points might need an outside courier service at a small fee.
Free cartons and packing materials
The last thing you need during the rush of relocating is to have to choose your own packaging. Make sure your agency gives advice on which box sizes would be best, as well as excess baggage shipping cartons and other packing materials like packaging tape, bubble wrap and tissue paper – all free of charge.
Reliable, safe and secure
Make sure the company's network of agents are accredited by FIDI/FAIM – the respected global international removals trade body. Consider this the Euro NCAP pedigree of shipping.
British Association of Removers (BAR)
Choose a company that is a BAR member, which means you have protection knowing that your goods will be delivered to their final destination, with no unwanted surprises along the way.
With more than 25 years' experience delivering over 500 000 consignments, 1st Contact has become a trusted name in helping customers relocate or adapt to a new country. If you need to ship your goods abroad, visit 1st Contact Shipping to get an online quote or find out more about the service.

Hand-Cuffing Is The Newest Stupid Internet Fad
Lots and lots of stupid stuff on the internet. So far this year, people have done planking, owling, cone-ing and now Hand-Cuffing. Watch what happens when idiots get access to a flipcam and YouTube.
I'm going to put Hand-Cuffing in the kinda funny, but really stupid file. If you were a drive-thru employee you'd be freaked by seeing a dude in cuffs get fast food, I'm surprised that they didn't get the police called on them.

Demi Lovato Tackles Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas is You" at "Christmas in Washington"
Taking on the newest true holiday classic, Demi Lovato performed Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas is You" at the 2012 "Christmas in Washington" special on Friday (December 21).
The "X Factor" judge was backed by a choir as she belted out the hit song in a black leather jacket with gold trim.
Though her future as a judge on the competition show is uncertain after this week's finale, it's clear that the 20-year-old singer is sad to see the season end.
On Friday she tweeted, "I think the Mayans knew that The X Factor USA was gonna end last night. I feel them though.. feels like the end of the world to me too.."
Check out Demi's performance below.

New page

1. On the ALCTS page, scroll down until you get to the heading that's above and closest to where your entry should go. Click the [edit] link beside the heading.

 2. In the edit screen that will appear, paste in this new head (everything inside the quotes):

 <nowiki>"===='''ALCTS ABC Meeting''' on Day HH-HH p.m.====

 *[http://abc/filename.html handouts] | [http://abc/filename.html presentation]"</nowiki>

 Then add whatever content you'd like. Follow the simple formatting from the other entries. When you're finished, scroll down and click "Save page"

 3. Upload a file by clicking the link "Upload file" in the "Toolbox" box on the left-hand column. That page is a standard "browse-for-your-file and click upload" page. Make sure that your file isn't bigger than 2MB. It won't upload if it's bigger than that. If necessary, break it into two or three parts and upload each part separately.

 4. When the file has uploaded, there will be a results page that contains a link to the file. I right-click on the link and select "Copy shortcut/link location" If doing more than one upload at a time, I then paste that code into a word processor or the notepad software or something to hold it. ''This is just the process that works for me. There are instructions on how to link to your uploaded files on the results page''

 5. When finished uploading all the files and you have all of the link text pasted safely, go back to the ALCTS page and click the [edit] link beside your event's heading. Replace the placeholder filenames (http://abc/filename.html) with the real filenames that you copied out to your notepad. Save your page and test the links to make sure they work.

1. Re: How and who generates the aid of an applet (found in .opt file)?Umer Oct 22, 2012 5:13 AM (in response to 936354)Hi,
AID is used to uniquely identify your application on the card. It has two components:
RID is issued by ISO and the companies need to obtain a unique RID from ISO. RID should have length of 5-bytes while PIX is propriety to every companies and it is also an optional part of the AID. It's length various from 0-11bytes. Now if you are using AID for learning purpose than you don;t need to have RID assigned by ISO, you can use any (hex) value within range of 5-16 bytes as your applet'/package' AID.
2. Re: How and who generates the aid of an applet (found in .opt file)?936354 Oct 22, 2012 5:52 AM (in response to Umer)I wonder, because the system is used for in-house book-keeping purposes. It has nothing to do with the outside world. Is it safe to ignore any iso assigned id, and continuously use the casual 'id' that I give to it?
3. Re: How and who generates the aid of an applet (found in .opt file)?safarmer Nov 13, 2012 12:00 AM (in response to 936354)Hi,
AID's are defined in ISO7816-4. The first nibble will tell you what kind of AID it is. If you have an in house applet you can use F for the first nibble and what ever you want after that.
'F' Proprietary No registration of application providers- Shane

- The Stomping Land RefundKing Of Pol
Refund all backers and steam purchases, removal from steam store
Developers have scammed the community, abandoned the community, provided false advertisement, refused to communicate with the playerbase, openly admit to shady contracts with PR to have them say they are working on the game when in reality they are intentionally being paid to disinfo the fans to avoid conflict with Lead Developer Jig's scam. If we get enough to sign it ill file a hearing with Alex Fundora with Hillsborough county Justice system in Tampa, FL to have him sued and brought up on charges of fraud and theft Please guys, lets stop this type of business from ever affecting anyone else again.

This article is written to answer following two questions I have received in last one week.
Questions 1) How to hide code of my Stored Procedure that no one can see it? 2) Our DBA has left the job and one of the function which retrieves important information is encrypted, how can we decrypt it and find original code?
Answers 1) Use WITH ENCRYPTION while creating Stored Procedure or User Defined Function. 2) Sorry, unfortunately there is no simple way to decrypt the code. Hard way is too hard to even attempt.
Explanations of WITH ENCRYPTION clause If SP or UDF are created WITH ENCRYPTION it is one way street and it is not possible to decrypt it using SQL Server commands. It is always advised to save a copy of the script used to create the SP or UDF on other media than SQL Server. There is no way to get the original source code once it is executed on Server. Only privileged users who can access system tables over the DAC port or directly access database files as well as can attach a debugger to the server process can retrieve the decrypted procedure from memory at runtime.
CLR SP and UDF can not be encrypted. SQL Server replication can not replicate encrypted SP or UDF.
I believe in fair programming techniques and strongly recommend against encryption. There should be no need to encrypt any code. If there is need to hide any code from certain users in that case user should be restricted using user login permissions.

Well, it's pretty easy. Run Optillect SQL Decryptor Freeware, decrypt a stored procedure you need, and copy the DDL script. Then run Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio, create new SQL editor with the same connection, paste the DDL script from the clipboard. Now remove "WITH ENCRYPTION" option, replace "CREATE" keyword with "ALTER" and execute the script. Thus you'll get your stored procedure stored with no ecryption.
Unfortunately, SQL Decryptor v1.1 cannot do it automatically at the moment, but we are planning to support this feature in the next release.
i was working on SQL SERVER DBA
i faced one problem from ENCRYPTED STORED PROCEDURES
I have onlin exam how i do encrypt /decrypt database files or tables like ( question , answer . and result …etc) please can you explenation me step by step
@Naga, does SQL Decryptor Freeware meet your needs?
is there any to get the SP main query part only…for example
create proc getinfo
@id int
) select *from infotable where id=@id
we can the sp parametres and data type with help of sys tables…but how i can get the sp main script part i.e. select *from infotable where id=@id only???
is there any tool for sp encryption??
no need to reply..i have created my own utilities for script creation using SMO programming
Update Optillect decrypter was able to decrypt the SQL server 2008, 2008r2,
when I tried to use on SQL server 2012 RC0 it is giving me an error
Error : No Object definition found
I guess the SQL team might have changed the encryption algorithm for the new
sql server 2012
How to write in sp wth in sql queries
Another update, Optillect's web site is not available any more. Would it be possible fou you to send me the tool?
As you said that "With Encryption" cannot be decrypted when i use alter command to modify sp without using "With Encryption" in that alter command then definitely it will remove the encryption for that sp.
This may cause Readable of stored procedure…
The code which i used for Encryption is
create proc proc123
With Encryption
select Title as [Name of Song],director as [Director] from videos
—–Encryption is done here—-
*Alter proc proc123
As Begin
select * from videos
Please give me another way to use the encryption for UDF and SP's.
I have few views which is encrypted in my database , is there any way to open and alter the view. or I should Drop and recreate the view,
Pls Do Help me in this
but we can not encrypted any stored procedure (if parameterised) plz suggest me if is it possible
Hello Pinal,
We are hosting our DB at our client's machine in their premise. They have full access of the database, which we cannot stop. In this case, can we hide SP code and trigger code?
