The nation's airlines could realize more than $250 billion dollars in savings in the near future thanks to green-related technologies developed and refined by NASA's aeronautics researchers during the past six years.
These new technologies, developed under the purview of NASA's Environmentally Responsible Aviation (ERA) project, could cut airline fuel use in half, pollution by 75 percent and noise to nearly one-eighth of today's levels.
"If these technologies start finding their way into the airline fleet, our computer models show the economic impact could amount to $255 billion in operational savings between 2025 and 2050," said Jaiwon Shin, NASA's associate administrator for aeronautics research.
Created in 2009 and completed in 2015, ERA's mission was to explore and document the feasibility, benefits and technical risk of inventive vehicle concepts and enabling technologies that would reduce aviation's impact on the environment. Project researchers focused on eight major integrated technology demonstrations falling into three categories - airframe technology, propulsion technology and vehicle systems integration.
By the time ERA officially concluded its six-year run, NASA had invested more than $400 million, with another $250 million in-kind resources invested by industry partners who were involved in ERA from the start.
"It was challenging because we had a fixed window, a fixed budget, and all eight demonstrations needed to finish at the same time," said Fayette Collier, ERA project manager. "We then had to synthesize all the results and complete our analysis so we could tell the world what the impact would be. We really did quite well."
Here is a brief summary of each of the eight integrated technology demonstrations completed by the ERA researchers:
+ Tiny embedded nozzles blowing air over the surface of an airplane's vertical tail fin showed that future aircraft could safely be designed with smaller tails, reducing weight and drag. This technology was tested using Boeing's ecoDemonstrator 757 flying laboratory. Also flown was a test of surface coatings designed to minimize drag caused by bug residue building up on the wing's leading edge.
+ NASA developed a new process for stitching together large sections of lightweight composite materials to create damage-tolerant structures that could be used in building uniquely shaped future aircraft that weighed as much as 20 percent less than a similar all-metal aircraft.
+ Teaming with the Air Force Research Laboratory and FlexSys Inc. of Ann Arbor, Michigan, NASA successfully tested a radical new morphing wing technology that allows an aircraft to seamlessly extend its flaps, leaving no drag-inducing, noise-enhancing gaps for air to flow through. FlexSys and Aviation Partners of Seattle already have announced plans to commercialize this technology.
+ NASA worked with General Electric to refine the design of the compressor stage of a turbine engine to improve its aerodynamic efficiency and, after testing, realized that future engines employing this technology could save 2.5 percent in fuel burn.
+ The agency worked with Pratt and Whitney on the company's geared turbofan jet engine to mature an advanced fan design to improve propulsion efficiency and reduce noise. If introduced on the next-generation engine, the technology could reduce fuel burn by 15 percent and significantly reduce noise.
+ NASA also worked with Pratt and Whitney on an improved design for a jet engine combustor, the chamber in which fuel is burned, in an attempt to reduce the amount of nitrogen oxides produced. While the goal was to reduce generated pollution by 75 percent, tests of the new design showed reductions closer to 80 percent.
+ New design tools were developed to aid engineers in reducing noise from deployed wing flaps and landing gear during takeoffs and landings. Information from a successful wind-tunnel campaign, combined with baseline flight tests, were joined together for the first time to create computer-based simulations that could help mature future designs.
+ Significant studies were performed on a hybrid wing body concept in which the wings join the fuselage in a continuous, seamless line and the jet engines are mounted on top of the airplane in the rear. Research included wind-tunnel runs to test how well the aircraft would operate at low speeds and to find the optimal engine placement, while also minimizing fuel burn and reducing noise.
As part of the closeout work for the ERA project, information and results regarding each of these technology demonstrations were categorized and stored for future access and use by the aerospace industry, and will be discussed at the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Sci-Tech Conference in San Diego this week.

We gave it a D+
The formal outrageousness of Blue Velvet established David Lynch as the director best suited to capture end-of-the-millennium willies. The success of his Twin Peaks confirmed the market for hysterical paranoia. Yet Wild at Heart, which won the Palme d'Or at Cannes last year (to a chorus of boos), died at the box office, failing even to attract a cult. Small wonder: It is an incoherent and unpleasant movie. The scenes intended to be funny aren't, the dialogue meant to be wittily banal is merely banal ("This whole world's wild at heart and weird on top," or "I wish I was somewhere over the rainbow"). The profusion of gross-out images — blood, vomit, toilets — is actually preferable to the images that are merely pretentious: fires, endless references to The Wizard of Oz, Elvis Presley ballads, and ideas lifted from Akira Kurosawa and Tennessee Williams.
A plot is barely discernible. Lulu (Laura Dern) runs off with Sailor (Nicolas Cage), followed by assassins put on their trail by Lulu's loathsome mother (Diane Ladd), who apparently murdered Lulu's father. They travel from Cape Fear in North Carolina to Big Tuna, Tex., where they meet hideous Bobby Peru (Willem Dafoe), a killer with inch-high gums and rotted teeth. Before the preposterously sentimental ending, the viewer has plenty of time to ponder the burning question: How did Crispin Glover, who has one line and about 20 seconds of screen time, get billed over key players Ladd and Harry Dean Stanton (who plays a private investigator). The vividness of their performances is the film's most redeeming quality.
To make matters worse, the inept video transfer further muddles the film by showing people talking to dislocated body parts (letterboxing should have been used to retain the full wide-screen picture). The problem robs Wild at Heart even of Lynch's undoubted visual flair. D+

Another excellent "Brother Cadfael" book. Very well written, quite different from modern fiction, which is so poorly written. Highly recommend.
It's 1141 AD and the fourth anniversary of the bringing of a Saint's bones to Shrewsbury rapidly approaches (they were brought in the first Cadfael novel, so no details given here). At this time Empress Maud has entered London and imprisoned King Stephen in the continued vying for the throne, so things are not looking promising for Cadfael's friend, Hugh Beringer who has sworn allegiance to Stephen. An innocent man is murdered in London, and rumours have begun about that.
Pilgrims begin to arrive for the anniversary, and, naturally others are mingled among them. Cadfael helps to tend two of them, one who is lame and has been brought in hopes of a miracle and another who is bound by oath to travel barefoot wearing a very heavy cross by a thin chain. The former has come with his sister and aunt, the latter with a man bound by oath to accompany him.
Problems arise with another group of travellers who have arrived with loaded dice, ready to strip locals and pilgrims alike of their money. Soon Cadfael and Hugh are doing more than solving this mystery, but pondering the question of whether or not one of the travellers may also be the murderer from London.
While I didn't love it, I definitely liked this tenth installment in this series. Good enough to keep me reading to see what happened and to connect me to the key characters, but not so engrossing as to keep me up past my bedtime.
Empress Maud has taken King Stephen hostage. While Maud is in London she turns every nobleman against her with her arrogance and is forced to flee prior to her official coronation.
King Stephen's wife, Queen Matilda, has sent a delegate to negotiate his release. The delegate is hatefully murdered by one who was instructed to allow the delegate safe passage.
Two men of stature meet a young woman, her cripple brother, & their adopted mother while on a pilgrimage to venerate Saint Winifred..... One of these men is unshod with a heavy cross hanging from his neck, the rope the cross is on cutting a groove in the flesh of his neck. The other falls in love with the young woman.....
Brother Cadfael treats the pilgrims' maladies and becomes aware that something is amiss, when a messenger from London brings news of the murder of Queen Matilda's delegate & the fact that one of the delegate's companions has gone missing......
Two young men appear as pilgrims for the Feast of St. Winifrid . Itt iurns out they may be linked to the murder of a knight in Winchester, where a important political meeting is taking place. My memory us this is one of the darker stories in the series, not my favorite.
Just when I was starting to feel like these books were all getting very samey, a return to what I liked about the first one: sincere religious feeling, spiritual doubt, and a hefty dash of medieval politics.

In distant Winchester, however, a knight has been murdered. Could it be because he was a supporter of the Empress Maud, one of numerous pretenders to the throne? It's up to herbalist, sleuth, and Benedictine monk Brother Cadfael to track down the killer in the pious throng.

US women just wonĺt give up
By Michael Lewis
BigAppleSoccer.com Editor
Abby Wambach: "The fact that we grinded it out, came back and had four unanswered goals, thatĺs a little demoralizing for any opponent."
Linda Cuttone/Sports Vue Images
GLASGOW -- It has been the cornerstone of the U.S. Women's National Team since its first game in 1985: Never give up.
When France shocked the United States by taking a 2-0 lead ony 14 minutes into the match on Wednesday, Alex Morgan and Abby Wambach took matters into their own hands, or rather feet and head.
Morgan said that she and "Abby looked at each other and said, ĹAll right, a goal each.'
The American dynamic duo did themselves one better. Morgan scored a brace and Wambach had one to help the U.S. to a 4-2 comeback triumph over the French in an Olympic women's soccer Group G encounter at Hampden Park.
"Going up two goals against us is quite a feat in my opinion," Wambach said. "The fact that we grinded it out, came back and had four unanswered goals, thatĺs a little demoralizing for any opponent truthfully. Iĺm proud of us. This team, no matter what bumps we approach, we hop over them together."
The U.S. players said that nerves got to them in the early part of the match.
"It was more than a wake-up call," captain Christie Rampone said. "One goal was enough."
Before halftime, the U.S. managed to pull even on Wambach's header in the 19th minute off a Megan Rapinoe corner kick (one of her three assists) and Morgan's 32nd-minute score off goalkeeper Hope Solo's long punt.
"We're the best team in the world," said Carli Lloyd, who scored the game-winner in the 56th minute. "If anyone can come back from a two-goal deficit it's us."
She got no argument from Solo.
Some teams would have folded like a beach chair down by two goals. But the Americans realized they plenty of time -- some 76 minutes -- to get back into the match. They did more than that. After halftime, they dominated most of the second half. The French applied pressure for the final 15 minutes, something you would expect by a trailing team.
"It's the commitment to each other on this team," Rampone said. "It's not doing it individually. It shows that we are commited to each other. This team, young, old, all different creative personalities out there. We all know we need each other. We relied on each other at that moment instead of trying to do it individually. This team has grown a lot over the years."

If It Happened There ... the Government Shutdown
By Joshua Keating
This is the first installment of If It Happened There, a regular feature in which American events are described using the tropes and tone normally employed by the American media to describe events in other countries.
WASHINGTON, United StatesThe typical signs of state failure arent evident on the streets of this sleepy capital city. Beret-wearing colonels have not yet taken to the airwaves to declare martial law. Money-changers are not yet buying stacks of useless greenbacks on the street.
But the pleasant autumn weather disguises a government teetering on the brink. Because, at midnight Monday night, the government of this intensely proud and nationalistic people will shut down, a drastic sign of political dysfunction in this moribund republic.
The capitals rival clans find themselves at an impasse, unable to agree on a measure that will allow the American state to carry out its most basic functions. While the factions have come close to such a shutdown before, opponents of President Barack Obamas embattled regime now appear prepared to allow the government to be shuttered over opposition to a controversial plan intended to bring the nations health care system in line with international standards.
Six years into his rule, Obamas position can appear confusing, even contradictory. Though the executive retains control of the countrys powerful intelligence service, capable of the extrajudicial execution of the regimes opponents half a world away, the presidents efforts to govern domestically have been stymied in the legislature by an extremist rump faction of the main opposition party.

1. "bring the nations health care system in line with international standards"?
That would be single payer.
This is an attempt to rescue the discredited idea of private insurance companies and individual/employer responsibility to buy health insurance.

We're two-thirds of the way through 2012, and it's been a wild ride on Wall Street for many public technology companies. I've checked the performance of a dozen tech stocks from the end of last year (or since their initial public offerings) through Thursday's close. Here's how they stand: Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) -- up 64% The Apple juggernaut has kept rolling this year despite the death of co-founder and CEO Steve Jobs last October. Shares have been pushing toward $700 in recent days, and the expected release of the iPhone 5 next month could fuel more upside. eBay (NASDAQ: EBAY) -- up 53.5% The online auction giant has owned that market for years. Only self-inflicted wounds can hurt it at this point. It's committed them -- changes to fee structures in 2008, for example, triggered a one-week seller and buyer strike. But 2012 has been smooth, and shares are at their highest point since 2005. Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN) -- up 42.2% The online retail king is a tremendously well-run company. CEO Jeff Bezos is not afraid to invest in infrastructure at the expense of short-term profits. Shareholders should be grateful for his long-term vision. Amazon's stock is trading near all-time highs. LinkedIn (NASDAQ: LNKD) -- up 41.3% Unlike the other social companies listed below, LinkedIn actually has a coherent business plan and is delivering value via its professional social network. Wall Street seems to understand this. Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) -- up 16.8% After spending about 18 months stuck in the 20s, shares of the software giant cracked the $30 barrier early this year, but are now struggling to stay above that. Can Windows 8 keep Redmond's stock from backsliding or staying stuck in neutral? Honestly, not likely. Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) -- up 5.5% The search giant's shares have posted only modest gains this year, but Google's stock closed 2011 on a roll, and shares currently are near four-year highs. It's rolling out enterprise features for Google+ and hopes to make more inroads into social media now that people are getting sick of Facebook. Yes, they are. Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) -- down 12.7% Speaking of self-inflicted wounds, the DVD and streaming-video provider has never recovered from the poorly received rate hike of a year ago. Indeed, the relatively modest decline in share price this year -- relative to the stocks below, at least -- masks the grim reality that Netflix's stock is down almost 80% from early July 2011, when it crept above $300. Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HPQ) -- down 23.1% Many years of mismanagement and strategic blunders have led to a revolving door in the corner office. The latest occupant is former eBay CEO and wannabe U.S. senator Meg Whitman, who hasn't inspired confidence in investors (and won't). Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) -- down 49.8% (since May 18 IPO) The new poster child for botched IPOs, Facebook is -- my opinion here -- in the beginning stages of a slow-motion collapse. It can't monetize mobile, people are bored with it, it uses inflated membership numbers, and no one reads the ads. Otherwise, Facebook clearly is the most amazing technology company in the history of all planets that everyone said it was. Research in Motion (NASDAQ: RIMM) -- down 53.7% So far, 2012 couldn't have been worse for shareholders of the BlackBerry maker. It's not going to get any better, unless some larger company pays a premium to buy RIM. More likely a continued death spiral. Zynga (NASDAQ: ZNGA) -- down 69.3% Like Facebook, the company from which the maker of time-wasters such as CityVille and FarmVille derives nearly all of its revenue, Zynga also launched a poorly received IPO, back in December. Since then it's been a steady slide south as investors question Zynga's management and business model. Groupon (NASDAQ: GRPN) -- down 79.7% All of the problems that have helped Groupon shares' relentless march to the pink sheets were readily apparent before last November's IPO -- questionable management, questionable business model, questionable growth potential, questionable repeat business. But the Chicago-based daily-deals site went public anyway, even briefly topping $30 a share on opening day. At 4.19 and falling, soon GRPN will be hard-pressed to top $3.

SP-P final connections?
The Edcor xfmrs are shipping, so I should be listening to music sometime next week.
The PCB and chassis were done weeks ago, so all that needs doing (once the iron arrives) are the final connections. There are no wiring diagrams on Tubelab.com for the SP-P last time I looked.
I found some images George posted as to how the terminal strips should be wired, and I don't think I will have any problem. However, I would appreciate any of the SP-P builders who may have sketched out a diagram, to post it. I'd also like to confirm how the connections for UL should be configured in case I want to try it.
I'd rather not blow up anything when I throw the switch for the first time. ;)
I usually draw a schem of anything I build for reference, particularly in this case since I didn't want to get the connections wrong, and wanted something easy to read. This schematic here is correct as far as I can determine. The green dots are the terminal blocks. It shows UL connection but so far I have only tried pentode mode. For pentode mode L-PRI_1-3 and L-PRI_2-2 are jumpered to L-PRI_1-1, and same for the right channel, and the UL leads are disconnected and insulated. For grounding I used the grounding instructions in this Simple SE page, (scroll down.)
The official schematic is here.
I hope I haven't violated any copyright or anything like that. If there are any objections I will remove it.
Thanks for the reply. I was pretty sure of the connections when I first asked, but then I've been wrong before...:D
Curious...have you played much music with your SP-P, and how do you find the sound? I've never had an amplifier that used EL84's before.
BTW: Nice job on the schematic. I usually draw out something too, but on a tiny scrap of paper that only I can decipher!!
Its probably got 300 hours on it by now, it runs every day, nearly all day most days. I'm extremely happy with the sound. It is giving me and my wife a lot of listening pleasure.
I've got mine in the shop. Those speakers appreciate the punch of a good PP amp. It's probably got maybe 50 hours on it now.

The Good and Not so Good: Celebrity Silhouette Cruise Review by The Maine Event
Overall Member Rating
The Good and Not so Good
Destination: Transatlantic
Embarkation: Rome (Civitavecchia)
A unique feature is The Lawn Club with real grass lawns where both bocce and croquet are played. However, for reasons unknown( perhaps they can't grow grass in the sea environment) they discourage the use of the lawns More and only offered a few one-half hour games and many days none at all. This is said to be a "signature" feature of the Silhouette but the guest experience would be better with the addition of a few artificial grass areas to port and starboard (like the competition) upon which play would be encouraged.
The enrichment lectures were a disappointment and the bright lighting in the theater made viewing of images on the screen difficult .
Music, Music everywhere and often TOO LOUD ! Aqua Class Blu restaurant had the background music so loud on the first days that one could hardly have a conversation at the table. We and others made several requests to lower the volume and were old the volume was determined by "corporate in Miami. " Within a few days they must have gotten permission to turn it down and Blu became an enjoyable dining experience. No so at the specialty tapas restaurant Qsine . Again the music was the dominate feature of the dining experience and ruined our evening. No one in our party of six would even consider returning. The IPad menu is perhaps a bit too gimmicky for the ship's customer demographics. The IPad had a wine list which was well presented with pictures and the pricing of each bottle. However, the prices on the IPad wine list were not the prices being charged - there was another price list with higher prices. It seemed like "bait and switch" but the manager when questioned defended the double pricing as "being in transition by corporate in Miami." The wine lists at all dining venues are extensive, pricey and printed in small fonts that make it difficult to even read.
Unlike the grill cafeteria and main dining room which have the ambiance of an high school facility, the specialty restaurants are well appointed. However, due to the up- charge to as much a $45 extra per person, they had few diners who weren't on special pricing. It seemed that about 50% of the food dining options on the ship had ala-carte pricing or a special fee. Strawberries, blue barriers, and raspberries were scarce as were artisan cheese selections. A special luncheon buffet featured hot chocolate fountains but no strawberries to dip!
There are several classes of passengers including Aqua Class, Concierge, and Captains Class with overlaps within each category. There are special deals for each category and discount coupons & free drink coupons etc. Free cocktail/wine coupons are not taken in the specialty or main dining room and dinners run back and forth from the bars to their dining tables with their "freebies." Too many side deals/coupon clipping for our taste. A tour of the ship was priced at $150 ! If you like to play "let's made a deal" you may enjoy this on-board price point policy. We did not.
The Casino will not give out the slot machine payout ratio - but it was rumored to be significantly less than in Las Vegas. Perhaps that is why the slots seemed to get little play.
The ship carries enough life boat capacity for the guests and has life rafts for those not fortunate enough to secure a seat in a life boat. On most cruise lines during emergency and muster drills the crew ware brightly colored hats which make them easily identifiable. During our muster drill, however, the crew wore only brightly colored vests which would be nearly invisible under a life jacket in a real emergency. One can only image the confusion in a crisis situation.
PUBLIC HEALTH 101 - There was a upper respiratory bronchitis which spread among the ship's crew and passengers on our cruise ( reported to be as high as 40% ). There was a real effort to have diners in the cafeteria and grand dining room to have their hands sanitized by an attendant at each entry with hand squint bag and the gym practiced the highest level of personal hygiene regarding machine use.
However, the casino with the slots had sanitizers at only one entry pint and the slots must have a high level of cross germ pollination. There was also a lack of hand sanitation stations by the elevators and stairs hand rails where the push buttons could provide for a rapid spread of germs through the ships population. This situation could have been much better controlled by more comprehensive public health procedures regarding hand sanitation. Both my wife and I contacted the "ships crud" and have been under doctor's care since our return. I noted in the cruise reports of the Center for Disease Control ( CDC) in Atlanta that four on the nine cases on norovirus outbreaks in 2013 were on Celebrity owned ships. Until Celebrity adopt more stringent hand sanitation policy we will not be cruising on their ships. Less

Cabin review:
Apparently 50 of the rooms have the bed next to the balcony and the other have the seating area close to the balcony and sliding glass door. We would have preferred to have couch and desk close to the balcony instead of being next to the bathroom.

I have been trying to get a file from bt4 to my windows machine. do not know any other way but to use winscp, but get an error.
I Nmap my ports and it seems that only port 69 is open, and not 22.
I then checked /etc/services and ssh port 22 is not commented out.
Can someoone please help me figure this out.
Learn Linux basics since it won't be any good if you use BT without knowing them.
Tiocfaidh ár lá
On bt4 you have to generate keys first as they are not configured by default. This is done for a reason.
then start the service like any other
bt~#/etc/init.d/ssh start
As the others have stated, if you have trouble getting ssh going than most likely you may want to start with a easier distro.
Thanks PureHate,
I did not know this thanks for helping me.
I will not forget this one.
That now make a lot of sense. I was trying to start ssh like above, but it would not work, because I did not create the keys.

Dark Night
Two types of "being lost" can be very spiritually dangerous. We have all lost something—car keys, money, perhaps a child in a busy mall. I remember the deep bewilderment I felt in the Frankfurt, Germany huge airport when I got separated from my travel companions and missed a connecting flight. The languages over the intercom were not English and hundreds of people were rushing here and there to make their flights. In the midst of all that airport hurry, I felt lost. Lost is separation. We, until conversion to Jesus Christ, are separate from God in terms of an intimate covenant relationship.
Do you have an experience with the dark night of the soul? What have you learned?
John Newton wrote about this lostness in his famous hymn "Amazing Grace"— "…I once was lost, but now am found…" Jesus told a story of two lost sons (Luke 15)—one was lost geographically, the other relationally. The youngest son went to another country. The eldest son stayed in the father's house, but was deeply separated from his father's heart: two kinds of being lost.
In his riveting book, Into Thin Air: A Personal Account of the Mt. Everest Disaster, Jon Krakauer writes, "For the next two hours, Beidleman, Groom, the two Sherpas, and the seven clients staggered blindly around in the storm, growing more exhausted and hypothermic, hoping to blunder across the camp. … 'It was total chaos,' said Beidleman. 'People are wandering all over the place; I'm yelling at everyone, trying to get them to follow a single leader…'. 'We tried to keep warm by pummeling each other,' Weathers remembers. 'Someone yelled at us to keep moving our arms and our legs. Sandy was hysterical; she kept yelling over and over, 'I don't want to die! I don't want to die!'" Krakauer reports that some climbers simply walked off in panic and were never found. Lost.
The other type of being lost is what St. John of the Cross called "the dark night of the soul." John was a Spanish Carmelite monk (1542-1591), a student of philosophy and theology. Teresa of Avila and St. John were contemporaries. St. John defines the 'dark night.' "The 'dark night' is when persons lose all the pleasure they once experienced in their devotional life." The experience feels like God does not exist. St. John suggests that God wants to wean us from depending even on our own consciousness and experience of God. This is pastorally challenging territory. Some folk just cannot fathom the dark night of the soul and end up jettisoning their faith. Had they the will to persevere, the God on the other side of the dark night would be closer, bigger, much more loving. We've produced an American infantile spirituality that requires God to be our security blanket. What if God "disappears"?
St. John of the Cross describes new believers as eagerly devoted to Christ and rigidly disciplined in spiritual practices. In their following Jesus they develop a "secret pride." They become "too spiritual," condemning others who are not as spiritual as they are. They stay disciplined in order to be esteemed by others. They begin to avoid confession because confession may ruin their image. They become more spiritual for their own sake, not for God's. Enter the dark night. The dark night is a purging work of the Spirit. John writes, "For the truth is that the feelings we receive from the devotional life are the least of its benefits. The invisible and unfelt grace of God is much greater, and it is beyond our comprehension (emphasis added). …For true spirituality consists in perseverance, patience, and humility. …No soul will ever grow deep in the spiritual life unless God works passively in that soul by means of the dark night." The dark night is called dark for a reason; it is an inner darkness that makes one feel like he or she is wandering toward the inky abyss. Pastors must know this hard terrain in order to offer spiritual direction so that all is not lost.

What Is P.C.D.- P.C.D. short for Post Carnival Depression is a phenomenon that usually afflicts Trinidad & Tobago Carnival participants. Symptoms vary from mild to severe and can occur soon after carnival is over or manifest itself in the weeks and months after Trinidad Carnival.
Symptoms include but are not limited to:
Depression, feelings of loss and despair, lack of desire to return to work or to one's native country (if you don't live in Trinidad), intense desire to return to "The Road", attend more carnival/soca parties, participate in heaving drinking & winning even though carnival has long since been over. To get a better idea of P.C.D. we interviewed some patients, here are some of their issues in their own words.
You Know You Have P.C.D. When?
"Yuh start asking yuhself "why does everyone have so much damn clothes on??" "You carry around your carnival drink cup waiting for it to be magically filled with Johnny and coconut water" "You go to the bar for a drink but when they ask you for money... something just feels weird" "When you think you can walk the streets with a COLD STAG in hand!! uuuurrrggghhh no stag here smdh" "When you didn't even go to Carnival and depressed just from watching other peoples pictures on Facebook" "When I say " We Ready ?"....you suddenly breakout into song and throw your hands in the air..."

This week's Brand Insight features Peter Roberts from Origin BJJ.
Where did the idea of starting Origin BJJ come from? What is the meaning behind the name, the logo?
Origin was my brainchild back in 2008-2009. I sidelined the idea for a couple years until I had some time to focus on it. I wanted an "original" bjj brand that catered to bjj players and not mma guys. I was just sick of the skulls, blood and tribal designs. The word Origin just kind of came to me and fell into place with little to no brainstorming. The logo is an inverted japanese samuri symbol they call a tomoye symbol. It is inverted/exploded. Each ring represents a step in the bjj journey (5 steps). Each one has a beginning and end but they all intersect because you never really stop learning.
What is the conception behind Origin BJJ?
Origin is a true lifestyle company. I train and work for the brand full-time. It's my job and I love it. We are not just a gi company. I develop products that we as bjj enthusiasts need for our craft.
You train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu on the daily basis, at what time did it interest you to start your own jiu jitsu brand?
I built brands for 15 years. I made a lot of people a lot of money. I owned a marketing agency and we handled many outdoor and sporting brands. When I started bjj I looked at the level of gear that was out there and I knew something was missing. But it took me a few years to understand the culture of bjj. Once I progresses in the art I knew what was missing and I knew that there was an opportunity for something better.
Is Origin BJJ your full-time job?
It's all I do. Origin is my third love after God and my family. I have a couple employees and at the rate we are growing I will probably hire a handful more.
How hard is it to train jiu jitsu on the daily basis, and run a business at the same time?
Training bjj is a phenomenal blessing that is hard for me to describe. I train at my own school 3 days a week and I travel two days a week (during comp season) to train with my team and my instructor Dedeco. I have goals that are sometimes very hard to focus on because of how the brand consumes my time. Right now we are building a new facility from the ground up. I missed the nogi pans, the nogi worlds and the world pro trials. It pains me…literally pains me to not be competing. The progression of our brand relies on me being on the mats to test products and make innovation happen.
How long did it take to get Origin BJJ going and establish it?
I launched it quick and found immediate success. I think the bjj world was yearning for this and when I launched the brand it was apparent there was indeed a void in the market that was now filled.
Who is behind the brand besides yourself?
My instructor and business partner Andre "Dedeco"Almeida is co -owner of Origin. He came on board maybe 3-4 months into the idea. He saw the potential and took a risk on it. He has a tremendous passion for bjj. We have an amazing relationship both personal and professional.
What is your favorite product of your brand, Origin BJJ?
I invented the OrangaHangs and they are our top selling product. I would say thats my favorite product because grip training was one of those holes I spoke about earlier and they filled a huge void.
What is next for your brand? What can we expect?
All I can say is this. What we have in store for 2013 is going to blow the top off the bjj world and send a shockwave felt by all. I'm not just saying this. It's not even a product I am talking about per say but it's a way of thinking, and doing things. We have some secrets that will be released soon enough. What I can tell you is it has to do a lot with this new facility we are building.

Now that (the first of two) opening general sessions are over, I can tell you more about the Live Text feature that I've been working on for Notes 8.0.1.
Notes 8.0.1 will ship with several types of text that are "recognized", such as an email address or postal address. These recognized terms or phrases get a special underline, and you can (left) click on the underline to get a dialog of options, as shown in the picture below.
If there is only one action to take, then clicking simply performs that one action. Once you have chosen your default action, clicking performs the default action, as shown in the picture below.
You can right-click to get all the options on a contact menu. The context menu also lets you set preferences for live text, such as what the special underline can be, and what types of text to recognize, as you can see in the picture below.
While Notes ships several types of recognized text, I think the power of this feature is in the fact that application developers can create their own recognized text, for example, for part numbers, customer numbers, or emplooyee numbers and hook them up to useful actions that make sense for your organization.
This feature has something for Fred and Ida the Domino administrators as well. They can deploy new recognzers as "widgets" by putting them in a widget catalog (a catalog.nsf, conceptually similar to a database catalog, er, application catalog ). In addition, if you use Desktop policies, we have several new policy settings that allow Admins to choose who gets the feature, who can build their own new widgets, and so on.

You're as excited about your photography as I am about capturing your day! Your wedding day is all about fun, about the joy and excitement of celebrating your love with your family, your friends and each other. The details matter but it's not about check lists or, perfection wrapped up in a big white bow but about the two of you and having a great time with everyone you love! You're looking for a wedding photographer to tell your story, naturally and unobtrusively. Someone who won't be asking you to do cheesy poses but someone who will be there to capture your day – the smiles, laughter, beauty and emotion – as it happened.
Wedding photography is not just what I do but more importantly, it is what I love to do! For me, the best thing in life is a good story and that's what my approach to photography is all about. I'm passionate about photography because I get a real buzz capturing those special moments, moments you might not remember or, perhaps, did not get to see. I love working with couples who want to relax and enjoy their wedding day and not have to pose for photo after photo. Even when I take your portraits, hand in hand by the evening light, it's as simple as letting you enjoy a few moments together, while I capture some discrete, candid images to help you remember it by. According to couples I have worked with, I'm pretty laid back and I'll work my socks off for you! Some even said my pictures aren't half bad!
I'm 6″1 so I can't promise that you won't notice me but I won't be there telling you what to do and how to act and with the exception of your portraits, I keep out of the way as much as I can, preferring to capture your day as it happens. Your wedding shouldn't be stage-managed, so be yourself, enjoy your day and the rest will take care of itself! I'll be with you for as long as you need me, telling your story from the start of your preparations, through your first kiss, your first dance and if the party calls for it, late into the night!
No two couples or, wedding day is ever the same and so my approach to your wedding photography is just as unique as you are. If you like the sound of what you've read so far, take a look at my best of 2016 or, take a look at some of these weddings and if you like my style, then get in touch and let's get the ball rolling! Whether you are from Norwich, Ipswich, Cambridge, or elsewhere in the UK or, indeed, the world (passport ready and up-to-date), then wherever you need me, I'll be there, camera poised and at the ready!
I'm a wedding photographer in Norwich, known with good reason as a "fine city"! So, if you haven't visited, what better excuse than to get together and talk some more about your plans. Norwich isn't short of places to grab a coffee, so, give me a call! You can get in touch the old-fashioned way, on the number below or, if you prefer, just pop your details in this form and I'll get right back to you. If you haven't heard from me within 48 hours, please check your junk mail – spam filters can be a little overzealous at times!
Thanks again for stopping by – I hope that you have enjoyed looking at my work and that my pictures have you excited about the possibilities! I look forward to getting together and helping to capture some of your own amazing memories! Telephone: 07900 251 549 Email: firstname.lastname@example.com

That's a good question! We could probably keep a partial "m0n0" in the
project name, and being known as m0n0Cored isn't so bad. But the reason why
were not m0n0wall is because this is a new design/architecture, and doesn't
fall in line with the current m0n0wall. I've talked with Manuel, and he's
thumbs up with the idea of furthering this project, and hopefully being able
to replace m0n0wall one day. Therefore, this is not m0n0wall, but a venture
into what could be.
I'm okay with m0n0Core or m0n0Cored, but we need to differentiate ourselves
from m0n0wall, as a m0n0wall derived project with intentions of being the
"NEW" m0n0wall. Also, were deviating from the original FreeBSD OS, and

NEW YORK (Oct. 25)
After five years of litigation instituted by the American Jewish Congress, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia restored full citizenship rights to Morris Mendelsohn, a naturalized American who had been involuntarily stranded in Israel from 1936 to 1953, it was announced here today.
The action by the American Jewish Congress sought to test the constitutionality of a section of the Nationality Act of 1940 that deprives a naturalized U.S. citizen of his nationality if he resides abroad continuously for more than five years. This section of the Nationality Act has no application to native-born citizens who, the AJC argued, are thus given an unconstitutional preference over other classes of citizens.
The case involved Morris Mendelsohn, who was born in Poland and acquired U. S. citizenship in 1923. In 1936, he left for Palestine to manage orange groves owned by his father. In 1941, he sought to return to this country but was unable to do so because of lack of funds and wartime transportation difficulties. At the conclusion of the war, Mendelsohn was prevented from returning due to the serious illness of his wife. By the time she recovered, the State Department cancelled his passport under the Nationality Act of 1940 and refused to admit him to this country.

Get Back to Work Fast in Pennsylvania's High-Growth Industries
JobTrakPA offers training in advanced manufacturing, health information technologies, or energy distribution.
When Robert Miller was laid off last July from his electronics manufacturing job, he turned to Bucks County Community College to get back on track. Thanks to JobTrakPA, his tuition is covered by a grant as he earns a certificate for advanced manufacturing and logistics.
"The program is a huge help, because my unemployment insurance is barely enough to get my bills paid," explains the 45-year-old Levittown resident. "If I had to pay out-of-pocket for this training, I'd be more in debt and it would take longer to get back on my feet again."
Miller (pictured, left) says he's able to continue his job search full time during the day while taking courses two nights a week and online. "I like the interactive, online training, and that you can go at your own pace," added Miller.
When he finishes the program, Miller will be eligible to earn the industry certification for PLC, or Programmable Logic Controller, which will make him more hirable for advanced manufacturing positions. In fact, the Pennsylvania Workforce Investment Boards project there will be 4,800 openings in advanced manufacturing in the coming years.
JobTrakPA courses, offered at all 14 of the keystone state's community colleges, are designed to retrain and upgrade skills to meet a critical shortage of qualified workers to fill available job openings in Pennsylvania's high-growth industries.
In addition to advanced manufacturing and logistics, Bucks County Community College offers training for health information technologies, and energy distribution, production, and conservation through JobTrakPA. It's estimated that by 2016, there will be more than 9,000 job openings in health information technologies and 32,000 openings in energy-related fields in Pennsylvania and surrounding states.
What's more, each student is assigned a career coach dedicated to his or her success throughout the training process. The coaches provide personalized help with the intake process, training, resume writing, job-search techniques, and locating potential employers.
JobTrakPA is funded by a $20-million grant from the U.S. Department of Labor as part of the federal government's Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training program, or TAACCCT.

I guess what was once an email hoax could become a reality. Republican Legislator Lee Terry(R-Nebraska) introduced a bill(H.R.-3035) that could create a loophole for telemarketers to call your cellphone. You could be inundated with robocalls for "informational purposes," if the GOP and its corporate handlers get their way.
The bill before the House Committee on Commerce and Energy plays the game of semantics by offering a list of specious arguments because 40% of us use our cellphones as primary landlines. Congressman Terry says most people won't be hit by extra charges because we have:
- Cheap flat-rate plans
- Greatly reduced per-minute charges
- Prior business relationships (if you give your number to any business that will be considered "prior consent")
Terry's measure is designed to do an end run around calls from debt collectors. The Nebraska GOPer has presented the bill in a most altruistic light:
- These calls notify consumers about data breaches and fraud alerts
- Provide timely notice of flight and service appointment cancellations
- Drug recalls
- Protect consumers against the adverse consequences of failure to make timely payments on an account
If you do business with Mike's Garage--could Mike "robo" you with an "informational" call? Maybe. Buy something, request info from a business, enter a competition, ask about a service then you could go on the public hit list.

Manuel has stated in the past that the server functionality is buggy,
with certain clients at least (Win XP in particular, IIRC). He left
that functionality out completely rather than having something that

San Antonio's Express News has an interesting article about the new biological control program in Texas that targets red imported fire ants (Solenopsis invicta). Armed with vials of Brazilian phorid flies (Pseudacteon tricuspis) raised in the USDA's Florida research facility, Texas Cooperative Extension worker Molly Keck is tracking down fire ant mounds in San Antonio and releasing the flies, who pounce on their victims and deposit an egg inside each one's head. But maybe the real story here is Molly's mom, who definitely goes above and beyond her parental duties to walk the area with a cattle prod, zapping the ground to agitate the fire ants and get them out where the flies can find them. Would your mom do that for you?
You can read more about the program in this Texas A&M press release, and an ISW post from 2003 about the Florida program. Thanks to nuthatch over at bootstrap analysis for sending in a link to the article.
About time someone took out the fire ants. As a long-term Houstonian I have been bitten so many times (perhaps "stung" is a better word) that I hardly notice when one of the little beasts lays into me. I have heard a rumor that a protozoan parasite has discovered this abundant trophic resource, and I see that fire-ant mounds out in pastures do not seem to reach the 3+-foot-high level of the 1980s these days. Off-topic, but did you see "Winning the War Against Island Invaders" in the 12/2/05 issue of SCIENCE? If not, you will enjoy it.

The Offspring 'Smash' New York City With Help From Bad Religion, Pennywise + The Vandals
For two nights in New York City, four veteran punk bands brought Southern California to the East Coast. The Offspring, Bad Religion, Pennywise and the Vandals invaded New York's shores for an incredible experience that brought fans of all ages to the Terminal 5. On Aug. 5, the 2014 'Summer Nationals' tour hosted all four bands for the second of two nights in the Big Apple. Naturally, we were there to witness it all.
The Vandals kicked off the night with their unique brand of high-energy, comedic punk. There are no weak links on this tour, so the crowd was hot from the first note of 'It's a Fact.' The Vandals jammed fan favorites such as 'Anarchy Burger (Hold the Government)' and 'My Girlfriend's Dead' before finishing off their set with a wild rendition of Queen's 'Don't Stop Me Now,' which saw guitarist Warren Fitzgerald strip down and entertain the crowd with his vocals, tapping into the psyche of a mental patient.
Pennywise ripped up the stage next, giving fans the heaviest set of the night, ripe with plenty of middle fingers and anti-authoritarian messages. With over 25 years having passed since their formation, Pennywise sounded better than ever, popping the crowd with 'F— Authority,' 'Bro Hymn' and a surprise cover of Minor Threat's 'Minor Threat' featuring Bad Religion's Brian Baker, who was a founding member of the D.C. hardcore staple.
When Bad Religion takes the stage, almost no punk act can follow them. We've had the pleasure of seeing Bad Religion live more times than we can count, and the band simply never diminishes in quality. Acting as a five-piece, Bad Religion powered through 17 punk rock gems, kicking off with the anthemic 'Los Angeles is Burning,' taking a heart-straining turn with 'Sorrow' and finishing their air-tight set with the classic 'American Jesus.'
The crowd went absolutely nuts for Bad Religion, with the exchange of energy between fans and bands hitting dogmatic magnitudes by the end of Bad Religion's communion. At this point, all we had left was the Offspring, and if you think the style of the Vandals, Pennywise or Bad Religion are destined to elicit a more energetic response than the Offspring's brand of punk rock, you're dead wrong.
To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Offspring's landmark album 'Smash,' the band played the entire album followed by a collection of fan favorites. From the first note of 'Nitro (Youth Energy),' the New York crowd exploded with back-to-front, wall-to-wall moshing. The passion exhibited by these fans in the pit was unbelievable, with a tremendous amount of love being sent towards the stage.
Frontman Dexter Holland's voice was a bit thin during the set's commencement, but strengthened as the set progressed, nailing the abrasive highs of 'Self Esteem,' 'Why Don't You Get a Job?' and 'Americana.' And to the 48-year-old frontman's credit, he refused to down-tune his songs even half a step to avoid high notes. The Offspring absolutely killed it as a whole, leaving fans buzzing even after rounding off the night with 'The Kids Aren't Alright.'
Gazing up and down the three stories of Terminal 5, we saw a group of fans spanning perhaps four or five decades enjoying the show. Looking across the second floor balcony, tons of young teenage fans were singing along to every word of 'Smash,' an album that was released long before these kids were born. To truly understand a band's impact and timelessness, live shows are the apex. When a band's fan base grows older and younger simultaneously, you've got proof of an unquestionable legacy. Much like when we all experienced the Offspring live for the first time (I was 13), the excitement seen in those kid's faces was a reflection of our own youth. And if the music of the Offspring, Bad Religion, Pennywise or the Vandals still draws youthful elation from kids searching for something different, blood will pump strong through the life of punk rock.

WSJ wrongly absolved Bolton of "wild accusations," falsely attacked Clinton recess appointments
An August 2 Wall Street Journal editorial [1] falsely defended recently appointed United Nations ambassador John R. Bolton, claiming that "[n]o wild accusation was ever proved" about Bolton "other than that he sought the removal of two intelligence analysts for incompetence and insubordination." The Journal also responded to those criticizing President Bush for "having bypassed the Senate" by using a recess appointment to place Bolton in the ambassador's job, claiming that Bush has not "shown himself willing to abuse the appointment power, unlike the most recent Democratic President." In fact, other claims made against Bolton have been proven true, including allegations that he misled the Senate during the nomination process and overstated Syrian weapons capabilities. Also, Bush is on pace to surpass former President Clinton's number of recess appointments; in less than five years, he is closing in on Clinton's eight-year total.
While the Journal gave little indication as to what constitutes a "wild accusation," it omitted a number of accusations levied against Bolton that have been proven accurate or are strongly supported by available evidence, including recent reports [2] that he gave a false answer on a Senate questionnaire that was part of the nomination process. Bolton answered on the questionnaire that he had not been interviewed by an inspector general, government agency, or grand jury during the past five years. But in response to a letter from Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr. (D-DE), the State Department acknowledged that Bolton had indeed been interviewed by inspectors general from the State Department and the CIA in 2003 regarding disputed claims that Iraq had purchased uranium from Niger. According to a July 30 Los Angeles Times article [3]: "The State Department responded to Biden with a letter saying Bolton did not recall being interviewed by its inspector general's office."
Additionally, the Journal neglected evidence that Bolton, as undersecretary of state for arms control, exaggerated the threat posed by Syrian weapons capabilities. The editorial claimed that "Senators Biden and [Christopher] Dodd [D-CT] ostentatiously demanded that the Administration let them see confidential intelligence intercepts relating to Mr. Bolton's testimony on Syrian weapons of mass destruction. These same Senators agreed that Mr. Bolton's testimony was accurate." But it was the testimony Bolton planned to give before Congress on Syria in 2003 that was problematic, not his actual testimony, as Media Matters for America has documented [4]. In preparing to testify before Congress in 2003, Bolton drafted a statement (not publicly available) on Syrian chemical and biological weapons programs that, according to various news reports, went far beyond what the intelligence community believed at the time. Whether or not Biden and Dodd agreed with Bolton's actual testimony is moot. According to a June 23 Knight Ridder article [5], Biden and Dodd were seeking the draft of the testimony:
Democrats want the White House to hand over an early draft of a speech that Bolton, while a State Department official, was preparing on the state of Syria's weapons programs. They also want a list of 19 names of U.S. officials and companies that Bolton requested regarding secret intercepts of their communications by the National Security Agency. Biden and Dodd say the information would show whether Bolton tried to exaggerate Syria's access to weapons of mass destruction, and tried to keep tabs on officials who had policy differences with him -- such as his then-boss, Secretary of State Colin L. Powell.
Further, the Journal's suggestion that Clinton used his power to make recess appointments more frequently than Bush is false. Bush has made more than 110 recess appointments in just over one term as president -- close to the 140 Clinton made over the course of two whole terms, as Media Matters has noted [6]. Notably, Ronald Reagan, the last two-term president before Clinton, made 240 recess appointments, according to a March 15 report [7] by the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service on recess appointments.

This cabinet is part of the last project posted.
It was completed in January 2010 . It is based of kitchen style base cabinets except for the fact that they are only 16" deep. I used full extension rails and euro style hinges for a seamless look. All the doors and drawers are the 5 piece frame and panel style.
The uppers again are similar to uppers on for a kitchen. I built it using a frameless design except where the three cabinets come together in the center I have an 1 ½" face frame. This hides the seam. I built it to here the center cabinet has the face and the side cabinet, inside panels are back set. When they slide together it is seamless.
The counter tops for the desk was selected by the customer. It was Sedona Bluff from Wilsonart (see sample nice pattern and texture. I used a matching oak on the front edges. We had some left over so I used it on a pullout tray on the bookcases.
The building pictures and recorded videos were too numerous to post here so made a page for them.

Vibhor C.
We would like to thank Mr. Cory Aitken for excellent support, communication, and very satisfying service in arranging fast delivery for a very high quality lead glass (in one of the best packaging I have seen) with a delivery date ahead of requested time despite short notice. The product quality, delivery, and customer care exceeds expectations and meets our radiation safety needs completely. We are very satisfied and happy. Thank you Mr. Cory Aitken and MarShield. We wish you the best in business.
Art D.
Cory is very good. Quoted quickly, handled my several changes, answered all of my questions and confirmed my PO without delay.
Chris M.
The purchase went very smoothly, I will be coming back for more business in the future. Thank you.
Verne B.
Like the easy way salesmen accommodate your needs don't have a lot of hoops to jump through to get what you need and move on.
Kimberly M.
Cory, We have just received the lead containers. We are extremely happy with them and the quick turn around time. I look forward to doing business with your company in the future.
Cory W.
The communication between our parties exceeded our expectations and really made the project move as well as it possibly could. During every phase of this challenge, the lead pouring and subsequent minor repair seemed to be the smallest hurdle to endure, with great help from your end. Mars was able to accommodate us on short notice, and with the promptness of your replies to our numerous questions, you really helped our time management on achieving our production schedules. I hope to work again with James Izzard (Plant Manager) and Dave Holden (MarShield, Sales Manager) in the not-so-distant future on another challenging, yet rewarding, project.
Todd I.
Dave Holden has been a tremendous help in the creation of the Radiation Shielding Enclosure. Dave took our original design and modified the design to meet our needs and save us a great deal of money. The Radiation Shielding Enclosure workmanship and quality have meet our specification. Once Dave Holden received the order the enclosure was built and delivered in less than a month. I would recommend MarShield for any project related to radiation shielding. Thank you MarShield and Dave Holden for the safe guarding of the employees of our NDI Lab.
Liz K.
I met some of the staff from MarShield during the Canadian Radiation Protection Association annual conference. The representatives were highly professional, and extremely knowledgeable about their various products. The followup after the conference was rapid, and I received information and requested products right away. I am pleased with the lead shielding and the subsequent information provided with the products. A no hassle company to deal with.
Selog Medical Contractors Ltd
Two years ago, Mars Metal became our main supplier of lead sheeting. The product, of finest quality arrives on site as quoted, no matter where in Canada.
Jon H.
ATS came to MarShield to get a quote on a lead fill we needed to have done for a build to print project that we were quoting. Not only did I receive a quick response from them, but they were also extremely helpful in making sure that what was quoted was what we needed. Even more impressive was that for our delivery date to be met they had to call in people to do it during their summer shutdown, and at no additional cost to us. David Holden and his crew have gone above and beyond my expectations on the quality of work and service. Everyone at ATS has been very impressed with the guidance and service they have provided us.
A.G GarCon Building Group Limited
This was our first time dealing with MarShield and we were impressed by their product knowledge, timely quote response, their large lead sheet inventory and their overall service.
I had contacted several other Companies looking for a quote to no avail! Except for your guys at MarShield you responded right away with a fast quote at a great price. Thank you for your great service.
I will be recommending you to my friends in the medical community and you will be the preferred vendor for our business going forward. We plan on more expansions over the next few years. You should know that you do a great job and I hope that the product we receive is as great as your service !
Kevin Summey
I'd like to just start with how pleased I am with the level of service and responsiveness from the MarShield team, especially Matt. I feel his efforts were instrumental in helping us reach our extremely aggressive deadlines, and his professionalism throughout our business transaction was outstanding.
Paul J. Smith
Outstanding!!! But I've learned to expect that from you and Mars Metal. Thanks so much.
Scott Gow
I wanted to send my thanks to your team for the expedited shipment and phenomenal service provided in delivering lead lined gyprock to my site in St John's. I initially sourced gyprock locally within the Province and was told by suppliers that my timeline could not be met. Your team was able to meet my tight schedule requirement, at a reasonable price, which has allowed my project to proceed without delay or disruption to patient care. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped make that happen.

A few times a year, a group of scholars, scientists, and industry people gather in Manhattan as part of a Sinai and Synapses working group, and I'm privileged to be one of those folks. Last week, as part of a working group meeting, I and the other members of Sinai and Synapses were treated to a fascinating talk by an expert in religion and technology, Noreen Herzfeld. Herzfeld's talk focused on bodies – on the difference between simulating cognition using abstract 0s or 1s and actually having fleshy, full-body experience of the world. I can't think of a better angle from which to tackle questions of religion and science. [Read more…]

So I have a problem guys and I don't know where else to go.
I ordered some Ram (Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR3) and I bought a SATA cable for the HDD I am to buy soon (I thought I'd attach the SATA cable now so I wouldn't have to go through the trouble of removing my graphics card to reach my sata cables to install the HDD)
I opened up PC, removed my previous ram and installed both of them. I put everything back together and the PC doesn't detect the monitor, at this point I think I've probably just not installed it on properly and it's loose so I try again. It still doesn't work.
I've tried reinstalling the graphics card, I've tried using my old ram sticks, I've tried booting up the PC with no ram sticks but I heard no beeps, I've tried connecting the monitor to my laptop and it worked, I've tried both HDMI and DVI. At this point I'm just completely stumped, I've no idea what to do next.
