Pressure Sensors Plod Along
No Matter What Market Researchers Say, High Technology Has Not Reached The Pressure Sensor Business
Look through the collection of pressure sensors that follows, and count the number of devices with advanced technology.
We saw no sensors or transmitters with MEMS technology, for example. Not a single device claims to use IEEE P1451.4 smart sensor technology. Nor did we see any fieldbus-compatible devices.
We saw one device with RS232/IEEE 488, one with a HART interface, and one with an Ethernet connection. Most transmittters are sticking with tried and true sensor interfacing methods, such as 4-20 mA, 0-5 VDC, and so on.
The most advanced devices have built-in microprocessors and software for remote adjustments, remote re-ranging, or temperature compensation.
Today's pressure sensors are smaller and faster than ever before, provide extremely good accuracy and resolution, and perform better than ever. But their manufacturers seem to be resisting the adoption of any other advanced technologies.
It looks like the concept of putting pressure sensors onto the information highway has taken a detour.
In spite of the evidence, market research companies still claim that modern technology is driving the sensor market.
Michael Valenti, principal analyst for Technical Insights, a unit of John Wiley,
We didn't see any wireless sensors, by the way.
"The fastest growth will occur in sensors based on advanced, sophisticated technology especially micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) and optoelectronics," says a sensors study from The Freedonia Group (www.freedoniagroup.com). "More generally, many types of sensors are incorporating the latest advances in microchip fabrication technology, especially those that are inherently solid-state devices."
It may be that MEMS and microchip fabrication technology are actually being used in some new pressure sensors, but we didn't see it. It could just be that the vendors didn't see fit to include these technologies in their otherwise glowing product descriptions.
Or it could be that market researchers, as is their wont, are taking flights of fancy once again to sell their expensive market studies.
If such products do come to the industrial market, we will be the first to bring them to you. In the meantime, the following pressure sensors represent a cross section of what is actually available today. They may not have MEMS technology or web servers, but the pressure instruments that follow represent some awfully advanced sensor technology.

in partnership with
The Imperial War Museum
The Western Front Association, together with the Imperial War Museum (IWM) in London, is involved in a joint project to produce a series of DVDs of trench maps and aerial photographs from the IWM archives. This project, called Mapping the Front, aims to create a set of themed DVDs of Great War maps and photographs covering significant and interesting aspects of The Great War. The quality of the maps will allow high resolution and colour depth images as good as the originals. The DVDs will be themed by area with maps of different scales detailing the changes to landscape over months and years.
Locations will include the Somme, Ypres, Arras, Lens & Loos, Gallipoli, etc. Other themes will also include Cemeteries on the Western Front, Haig's personal maps, cartography, transport, tanks, artillery, light railways and many others.
Each themed DVD will contain:
a) Maps.
b) Aerial photographs (where available).
c) A standard set of index maps.
d) Help on how to read the military maps of the period. (you can download the article - see downloads list)
e) Other contemporary and modern documents of relevance or interest such as the 'Report on Survey on the Western front, 1914-1918'. (1)
This Mapping project involves the scanning of the whole of the IWM's collection of Trench and Great War maps. To date 7,000 maps and 1000+ photographs have been scanned in high resolution. We hope to be able to publish the majority over the coming months.

NB Please see the viewing instructions for details of how to view the maps.
The discs are readable on almost all computers regardless of operating system, so Vista, Windows XP, Mac, eeepc, linux based machines etc. are fine. The reason is that no specific software is required, the discs contain images file and users are expected to have sufficient knowldege to open and view such files. For convenience, a copy of erviewer is on each disc, the latest version of this file viewer is also available free of charge from www.ermapper.com. Thet have kindly given us permission to include their software, but please take careful note of the viewing instructions.
Although original maps from the Great War have been available for viewing by the public at various locations, the number of high quality maps available for use at home has been very limited. The Mapping the Front project aims to greatly increase the number of maps and aerial photographs available.
In the past, the accent has been to concentrate on the regular 1/10,000 series of trench maps at the expense of other equally interesting maps, but in the words of Colonel E.M. Jack, a key figure in Great War cartography, "The 1/20,000 was the map commonly used by the Artillery, and as trenches could be shown on it in sufficient detail to be of use to the infantry it was the most useful scale of all, and the one that could least easily be dispensed with." * The series of DVDs will include 1/20,000 and 1/10,000 trench maps but will also present 1/5,000, 1/40,000, 1/80,000 and smaller scale maps where these show information not available on the standard trench maps.
In addition, we will present specialised maps such as those showing burials, colloquially known as the "body density" series, normal 1/40,000 maps showing temporary cemeteries and the areas from where the fallen were collected after the war.
Some DVDs will include hand annotated maps of all scales, artillery and machine gun barrage maps showing the planning for a creeping barrage, intelligence maps showing the enemy order of battle, relief maps and even hand drawn maps.
The trench maps were updated from aerial photographs and, where available, examples of these photographs will be presented alongside the relevant map.
Whether your interest in The Great War is family history or serious military research, the Mapping the Front project will provide an excellent and affordable archive from the collections of the Imperial War Museum.

There was plenty going on both at home and abroad last weekend but before I come to my roundup some of you may be aware that the ice rink at The Peak in Stirling (above) is currently closed after cracks were discovered in the wall.
If you weren't already aware of the issue then you can read more about the closure here on the RCCC's website, here on the BBC and here on the Active Stirling site.
The Peak is without doubt one of the finest facilities we have in Scotland and it is where our top curlers spend a great deal of time training so I hope that we will see the rink up and running again as soon as possible.
A post on the Scottish Curling Forum suggests that Waterfront in Greenock is also without curling at the moment – let's hope local curlers from both parts of the country can get back on the ice again soon.
So, back to the recent action.
Basel, Switzerland was hosting the latest event on the Curling Champions Tour, the Women's Masters.
Teams from nine European countries and one from the USA were competing in the ninth edition of this tournament and three Scottish teams featured in the lineup – Teams Muirhead, Fleming and Gray.
Happily, all three teams made the quarter-finals where Eve Muirhead was rewarded with an all-Scottish tie against Hannah Fleming while Lauren Gray faced Switzerland's Silvana Tirinzoni.
Team Gray were unable to see off the Swiss team and missed out on the chance to face the winners of the Muirhead v. Fleming clash in the semis. As it was, Team Muirhead faced Tirinzoni in the last four but lost out 8-5.
The three Scottish teams won an impressive fourteen games between them over the weekend, only losing seven – our women's teams would appear to be in good shape just now.
The event was ultimately won by Binia Feltscher and her World Champions in an all-Swiss final against Silvana Tirinzoni.
For all the scores check out the event website.
The Curling Champions Tour's junior competition, the European Junior Curling Tour, was in Härnösand, Sweden for the Livechannel Cup and two Scottish teams were playing in this one as well – our teams really are getting around this season aren't they?
Gina Aitken had her team of Naomi Brown, Rowena Kerr and Rachel Hannen in Sweden while Stuart Taylor was there with Ross Fraser, Bobby Lammie, Gregor Cannon and Alasdair Schreiber.
Team Taylor won all five of their group games which earned them a semi-final spot against Sweden's Team Zip-Up(!) which they lost 7-6 after an extra-end.
The junior men's competition was won by Norway's Gaute Nepstad while Team Taylor lost the bronze game 7-2 to Sweden's Team Riteice.
Gina Aitken's team won all three group games which also got them a semi-final spot where they won 5-3 against Team Byman from Sweden. They then faced Sweden's Team Rilea in the final which you can watch in full here.
As you can see (if you watch until the end) the girls lost out 6-4 to the Swedes but should be very proud of their performance – that's first place and second place so far on the EJCT.
All the scores are here.
Stranraer was hosting the Scottish Senior Mixed Curling Championship over the weekend – the first national championship of the season.
Archie Craig and his team of Marion Craig, Robin Aitken and Yvonne Aitken won the event after beating Jim Cannon's team 4-3 despite being 3-1 down with two ends to play – Robin Aitken was injured for the final and was replaced by David Hardie.
All the scores are here and a report is here.
The National Super League Finals were being played at Forfar and more information about the event was available here.
Dundee 1 (Cameron Bryce, Frazer Shaw, Callum Macfarlane and David Jones) beat Forfar 2 skipped by Duncan Menzies in the final.
Finally, Aberdeen was hosting the first of this season's Under 14 Slam events on Saturday.
The final saw James Craik's team taking on Lisa Davie and it was Team Craik who came out on top 5-3 after an extra-end.
A full report is here.

That is why he hastens to disown authorship.
Gullibility of the poor and the subconscious desire of the African nouveau riche to disown their heritage and even their skin colour.
This is not to say the party should disown its achievements.
Suddenly, the big-haired, Day-Glo decade that modern pop had tried to disown was being reassessed with renewed affection.

R.I.P.: Esteemed Boxing Trainer, Correspondent, And Boxing Enthusiast 'Emanuel Steward' Dies At 68!
You will be missed brother:
Emanuel Steward, revered as one of the best trainers in boxing history and whose Kronk Gym symbolized Detroit's gritty, blue-collar boxing scene and produced numerous world champions, died Thursday after a short illness. He was 68.
Steward, who also managed many of the fighters he trained, worked with more than two dozen champions during his decades-long career. A younger generation of boxing fans knew him as an expert analyst on HBO's boxing telecasts.
Victoria Kirton, Steward's executive assistant, told The Associated Press that Steward died in a Chicago hospital Thursday afternoon.
Often called the Godfather of Detroit boxing, Steward was a beloved figure because of his outgoing personality, seemingly endless energy to talk about boxing with anyone who would approach him and his dedication to his fighters. As a cornerman, he commanded respect because of his strategic genius and for having the knack of saying the right thing at the right time during the heat of battle.
Fighters also loved him for his generosity and for the father-figure role he often played in their lives. Training fighters was not just a job for Steward. He often took fighters in to live with him in his Detroit home, training them by day and parenting them by night.
Steward was most closely identified with his work with three superstar fighters: multi-divisional world champion Thomas Hearns, who was with Steward from the beginning; former heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis; and reigning heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko.
"He brought the very, very best out of me," Hearns once said of his trainer.
Steward kept his usual busy schedule through the summer, training middleweight contender Andy Lee — who lived with Steward — for his loss to Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. on June 16, and Klitschko for his title-retaining sixth-round knockout win against Tony Thompson in their July 7 rematch. But he had been hospitalized since September, causing him to miss two HBO broadcasts, and underwent surgery. His sister, Diane Steward Jones, said the surgery was for the stomach disorder diverticulitis, although many others who knew Steward said it was for advanced cancer.
"There are no adequate words to describe the enormous degree of sadness and loss we feel at HBO Sports with the tragic passing of Manny Steward," HBO Sports president Ken Hershman said. "For more than a decade, Manny was a respected colleague who taught us so much not only about the sweet science but also about friendship and loyalty. His energy, enthusiasm and bright smile were a constant presence. Ten bells do not seem enough to mourn his passing. His contributions to the sport and to HBO will never be forgotten. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family."
Born in West Virginia on July 7, 1944, Steward became interested in boxing at age 8 after he was given a pair of boxing gloves. When he was 12, he moved with his mother to Detroit and began training at Brewster's Gym, the famed gym that produced the great Joe Louis.
Sympathies go out to his friends and family. R.I.P.

After previously being rumored to have dated Cameron Quiseng and Taylor Lautner, Selena Gomez insists she is dating nobody.
Disney star Selena Gomez has slammed reports she's already moved on from Nick Jonas - insisting she's still "single". The 17 year old split from the Jonas Brothers star in March because of their busy work schedules.
Gomez has since been romantically linked to Allstar Weekend bassist Cameron Quiseng and has previously faced rumours she's dating Taylor Lautner. But the singer/actress has now spoken out to refute the reports. She says, "I'm single. When I'm linked with guys it's like: 'Oh, they're my friend. That's awkward!'"
The "Wizards of Waverly Place" star is right now preparing to release her new album tentatively titled "A Year Without Rain". She is also waiting the release of her new movie "Ramona and Beezus" which is due to open in theaters later this year.

Police officer Rick Grimes was unconscious while in action and woke up one day only to find out that zombies have destroyed the civilization.
Zombies are now on small screens, thanks to AMC. "The Walking Dead" has been promoted at the San Diego Comic Con this year and a trailer was played during the panel. Few days after, the trailer leaked online in a bootleg version but AMC has anticipated it by releasing the official version.
"The Walking Dead" tells the story of the months and years that follow after a zombie apocalypse. It follows a group of survivors, led by police officer Rick Grimes, who travel in search of a safe and secure home. The comic goes on to explore the challenges of life in a world overrun by zombies who take a toll on the survivors, and sometimes the interpersonal conflicts present a greater danger to their continuing survival than the zombies that roam the country. Over time, the characters are changed by the constant exposure to death and some grow willing to do anything to survive.
The TV series is based on a comic book by writer Robert Kirkman. The 90-minute pilot episode will air on Halloween starting at 10 P.M. during AMC's "Fearfest". Andrew Lincoln stars as police officer Rick Grimes who woke up alone in a hospital while most of other people were swallowed by the zombies.

'I think that maybe my name is bandied about because I'm known to be bald,' the 'Breaking Bad' actor says.
Bryan Cranston, who allegedly has inked a six "appearance" deal to play Lex Luthor in Zack Snyder's Superman-Batman movie, laughs off the rumor during an interview with The Boston Globe. The Golden Globe-nominated actor, who plays Walter White on "Breaking Bad", says, "I've heard that too. Six? This is all news to me."
"I think that maybe my name is bandied about because I'm known to be bald," the 57-year-old actor, who also showed up in "Argo" as Jack O'Donnell, jokes. The father of one adds, " 'What bald guy can we get?' The reality is they can take any actor and shave his head or put a bald cap on him."
Asked whether he would seek Gene Hackman for advice if he were to nab the villain role, Cranston laughs and answers, "I can just see how that phone call would go. 'Gene? Hi, this is Bryan Cranston.' 'Who? Bryan Cranston? What do you want? How did you get this number?' "
Cranston has emerged as fans' top choice to portray the villainous character that has come into conflict with both DC heroes in comics. Completely aware of this, he once expressed interest in tackling the role. "Give me a call. I like Lex Luthor. I think he's misunderstood. He's a loveable, sweet man," he said with a grin.

NPR's branding isn't exactly shabby-chic. It's more snobby-chic. So maybe they don't think it's a PR blunder to play along for the Wall Street Journal in an article titled "Next Up On NPR: The Clothes Behind the Voices."
In the captions to fashion photos, we see evening anchor Audie Cornish wears a skirt by Diane Von Furstenberg. Chief marketing officer Emma Carrasco is wearing a Prada top. Weekend anchor Scott Simon has a pocket square and tie from Hermes. The Nina Totenberg caption touts the luxury Worth Collection:
"Nina Totenberg, legal affairs correspondent. Dress, Worth Collection; shoes, Bruno Magli. "I'm a person that dresses up," she says." In a longer interview, she added "If I dress like a schlump, I think like a schlump and I work like a schlump."
The Journal's Robin Kawakami elaborated:
Nina Totenberg, veteran correspondent on legal affairs, requires that people working for her dress up at the Supreme Court. At minimum, they must wear presentable dark slacks and a white shirt. "My view of that is, that is so boring, why would anybody do that?" she said. "Why wouldn't you have some fun with your clothes?"
Dressing for Radio: Visitors are often surprised by the way people at NPR look. "You have this vision in your mind of this very wise, older, bearded sage, and you can see that every time somebody comes in, they're deflated," said Guy Raz, host of "TED Radio Hour."
"You kind of feel bad," he said. "I wish there was something I could do to fulfill that."

Articles about reggae music, reviews, interviews, reports and more...
At the launch of Sting 2012 dubbed The Truth, there were all indications that the organizers are determined that this year's show will remind us why its slogan has always been 'the greatest one night show on earth'. The launch held at the Wyndham Kingston Hotel on Wednesday, November 28th gave patrons a preview of what can be expected on December 26th (Boxing Day). On this its twenty-eighth anniversary; the event is being jointly presented by Supreme Promotions and new comers Down Sound Records.
This year, the organisers are presenting the show as sectionalised tributes to the different eras of reggae and dancehall. No doubt the biggest attraction will be the section for the 'Twelve Disciplines of Dancehall' including the controversial Tommy Lee Sparta, one of the most popular acts of this year, Popcaan, veteran Ninja Man, Mavado, Sizzla and Busy Signal. The Reggae Best section will feature the likes of Daville, Romain Virgo and Gyptian. While the Three the Hard Way comprises perennial favourites John Holt, George Nooks and Errol Dunkley. Other sections such as the Fantastic Four, Face Off Clashes, Independent Ladies, including Gaza Slim and Stacious, and the New Generation section will feature a host of new artistes, rising stars, all time favourites and current hit makers. The backing bands will be Ruff Cutt and Warrior Love, while music will be provided by Flava Unit sound system.
Eagerly anticipated performances are expected from Ninja Man who has not graced the stage of Sting for a number of years and who is always a major drawing card, and Busy Signal who was recently released from a federal prison in the USA. That this will be his first performance in Jamaica in four years makes this even more hotly anticipated. The organisers indicated that they are well aware of how highly anticipated his appearance is by fittingly scheduling him to hit the stage at 12:50 am (in commemoration of the Jamaica 50th Celebrations).
Fans of Busy Signal wishing to see him in action before the year end, can only see him in at Sting, as his management team have indicated that it will be Busy's only performance for the remainder of 2012.
The organisers have demonstrated that they are making the security of patrons a high priority when they outlined the details of their security arrangements. The arrangements include cordoning off the area with double stacks of empty shipping containers and establishing separate entrance gates for VIP, the press, artistes and general admissions. They have also advised that Security Officers will be dispersed into the general audience to control any disruption and confiscate projectiles. Additionally, the ticket office will have at least 20 windows to facilitate the smooth flow of patrons.
The usual spectacular line-up of artistes and the enhanced security arrangements are indications that Sting 2013 will indeed continue to be regarded as the 'the greatest one night show on earth'.

Emperor Akihito surprised the nation last month when palace officials announced plans for his funeral. His wishes for a relatively modest one — and the act of planning ahead — were widely seen as a good example in this rapidly aging country.
The Emperor, who turned 80 on Monday, is still active, making an official visit to India in November with his wife, the 79-year-old Empress Michiko. But concerns have grown since he had heart bypass surgery nearly two years ago on top of prostate cancer earlier.
After an expert panel discussion for more than a year, the palace announced that Emperor Akihito would be cremated, and his remains placed in a mausoleum smaller than those of his predecessors, with Empress Michiko by his side at the Imperial compound in western Tokyo. Emperor Akihito's cremation breaks a 400-year burial custom of the world's oldest monarchy, as he wishes to trim cost, space and burden on the people, officials said.
The revelation of the couple's life-end plans was well received in the world's fastest-graying nation, where 20 years from now 1 in 3 people will be senior citizens. Eroding traditions and changing demographics mean many of them lack younger relatives to look after their affairs or their graves.
"I really empathize with their feelings," said Setsuko Imamura, a former part-time kimono-dressing instructor who turned 79 this month. "We cannot simply compare the Imperial Couple's situation with us commoners, but their concerns make sense."
Imamura has been planning for her life's end for some time. A year after her husband died of cancer in 2010, she sold their house in Hamamatsu, Shizuoka Prefecture, and moved to a retirement home in western Tokyo, near her niece. She has sorted out her finances, written a will and selected her favorite kimono for her burial, all kept in a box. She doesn't want a ceremony.
Now, she is trying to reserve a spot in a group tomb, which would cost ¥300,000 per participant. That way her remains wouldn't be abandoned, and disposed of as waste. And someone, living members of the group or their relatives, would visit the tomb and lay flowers.
"My husband and I didn't have children, so we had agreed not to leave anything behind, and that's how I want to live through the end," she said. "I don't want to trouble anyone."
Imamura represents a growing segment of Japan's expanding elderly population, particularly women who often outlive their husbands and are likely to die alone with no one to arrange their funeral or settle their affairs.
A 2011 national survey by Ibaraki Christian University sociology professor Kenji Mori showed that only about 60 percent of Japanese had a gravesite with relatives to take care of it. The majority considered funeral ceremonies an obligation, and about 40 percent worried the arrangements would cause trouble for relatives and neighbors.
More and more Japanese in their 60s and 70s are planning for their own deaths, just like Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko. A majority in Mori's survey said funeral ceremonies should reflect the wishes of the dead, a new way of thinking encouraged by companies in the now-booming "end-of-life" business.
Funerals used to be send-off rituals conducted by neighbors or families of the dead, but now the rituals are affected by business incentives and have lost their traditional meaning, Mori said.
Toshiko Sasaki, an executive at the Institute of Community Association Network, which runs retirement facilities and aging society research, said Japan's rapid aging, low birthrate and weakening community and family ties have caused many elderly people to feel isolated and abandoned. Well into the second half of the 20th century, the oldest son, even after marriage, often lived with his parents until their death.
"Family ties have changed so much," Sasaki said. "People now consider funerals and graves should reflect their own thoughts rather than for families or ancestors."
Books on how to write "ending notes" have become best-sellers and "ending activity" seminars abound, organized by funeral homes, tombstone stores and even supermarket chains, like Aeon Co. Cemetery tours are also available.
"Life after retirement is long and many people are healthy and active. I think they want to take care of their concerns early on so they can enjoy the rest of their lives without lingering uncertainty," said Kazuhiro Yoshida, a spokesman for Aeon's funeral-related services.
The 2008 Oscar-winning film "Departures," about a man who prepares bodies for funerals, inspired many Japanese to think and talk more openly about the topic.
At the high-tech temple Daitokuin, where indoor graves are operated by Nichiryoku Co., visitors can pray for up to eight of their loved ones at one of about two dozen card-operated booths, each housing a tombstone with changing nameplates for each family.
Nichiryoku and other companies also provide an after-death house-cleaning service for people who die on their own. Masahiko Muraki, an executive of Nichiryoku, said he expects the need for the service would grow in coming years.
"People finally started realizing there is so much to do," he said. "It's not just about funeral and grave. We're all responsible for deciding the process leading up to the end of our lives."

My blog friend Behan is living the life we all secretly want, sailing the world and homeschooling/unschooling/natural learning with her kids on the way.Ā I read voraciously, because I am taking notes for my next holiday, and hope I can be as cool as her one day!
She recently confessed a love of anemone fish (which I share), so I promised her an anecdote about one of these guys on our first Vietnam trip.Ā I may have already shared it here, so look away if you don't want to read it again, but I suspect my storytelling is slightly better this time – cross posted from Behan's blog.
We were staying at a little island of Nha Trang in Vietnam (Whale Island).Ā I'm asthmatic, and though enthusiastic, not a confident snorkeler.Ā I couldn't go out unless the bay was as flat as plate glass, because getting water down my snorkel was terrifying (the asthma has made me quite claustrophobic).
So one day, the water is a little too choppy for my liking (but I'm becoming more confident), and Mark is intent on exploring some new areas we hadn't visited before.Ā My rented mask keeps letting in water, but only a bit at a time, so I put on my bog girl panties and decide to just deal with it.
Mark freedives down to look at an anemone, out of which darts the most aggressive anemone fish I have EVER seen.Ā It fully charged him, stopping only about 6 inches from his mask, to stare him down in as bold a manner as a Kings Cross bouncer.
At which point I cracked up, my laugh lines created a channel by which the sea water was able to stream into my mask, and the resultant hysterical laughter coupled with inhalation of seawater was a sight to behold.

IC in the Media
A sampling from media accounts that reference Ithaca College or quote members of the college community.
Wednesday, May 14, 2014
Jeff Cohen, director, Park Center for Independent Media, and associate professor, Department of Journalism
Thom Hartmann, host of The Big Picture, spoke with Cohen about how media consolidation has led to "infotainment" pushing out information in journalism. "The decline of journalism since the 1980s is directly in line with the conglomeration of media power and communications power in the hands of fewer and fewer giant corporations."

JACKSON, Miss. — Police in Mississippi say actor and former television host Gary Collins has paid a $500 fine for leaving the scene of an accident last month.

Collins was cited for the misdemeanor Nov. 2 after his Jeep rear-ended a car at a stoplight in Jackson. Police say he exchanged information with the other driver but left before authorities arrived. Police later went to his house and gave him the ticket.
Collins attorney, Tom Royals, has said the charge was reasonable.
Collins is married to former Miss America Mary Ann Mobley. He starred in the 1970s series "The Sixth Sense" and has made appearances on such series as "JAG," "Yes, Dear" and "The Young and the Restless."
Collins hosted the talk show "Hour Magazine" in the 1980s, and won a daytime Emmy for it in 1983.

North Allegheny coach Art Walker knew it wasn't going to be easy for his team to defend its WPIAL Quad-A title this season.
And Upper St. Clair wasn't about to sit by idly and watch it happen.
The Panthers gave top-seeded North Allegheny all it could handle, but after 48 minutes of regulation and an overtime period, the Tigers accomplished their goal of a title repeat with a 28-21 victory at Heinz Field.
Mack Leftwich's 1-yard touchdown run in overtime gave North Allegheny the lead, and the Tigers defense shut the door on No. 3 Upper St. Clair to seal the win.
A touchdown that shouldn't have been played a major role in the outcome, as well
North Allegheny's Brendan Coniker was awarded a TD catch on a 23-yard pass from Leftwich with 27 seconds left in the first half, but Heinz Field scoreboard replays clearly showed Coniker's landing foot hit out of bounds.
Since instant replay is not part of western Pennsylvania high school football, though, the referee's original call stood and North Allegheny was overjoyed with a 14-14 tie at halftime with Upper St. Clair.
The two teams went back and forth in an exciting second quarter that saw A.J. McGuire score two touchdowns for Upper St. Clair, one on a 2-yard run and the other on a 65-yard TD pass from Pete Coughlin.
North Allegheny got on the board on a 66-yard run by Leftwich and added Coniker's "score" later in the half.
In the second half, the Tigers got a 1-yard TD run from Vinnie Congedo midway through the third quarter and held a 21-14 advantage until there was under five minutes to play.
That's when Mike Wilcox tied the game at 21, as he took a pitch from QB Pete Coughlin and with a flying leap, just crossed the goal line.
The Tigers (13-0) will play State College (7-4) next weekend in the PIAA quarterfinals.
Upper St. Clair finished the season 11-2.
Stat leaders…
North Allegheny
Mack Leftwich: 10 of 16 for 148 yards and 1 TD, 20 carries for 117 yards and 2 TDs
Brendan Coniker: 4 catches for 80 yards, 1 TD
Upper St. Clair
Pete Coughlin: 7 of 12 for 146 yards and 1 TD, 23 carries for 63 yards
AJ McGuire: 18 carries for 69 yards, 1 TD; 1 catch for 65 yards, 1 TD
What they had to say….
North Allegheny coach Art Walker
On ending "We got stronger at the end. I thought our enthusiasm picked up. I thought our defense was coming off the ball and giving them some problems. I liked our chances in overtime. When they took the ball first, there was no question we wanted to score a touchdown, and we wanted to do it in a safe way. We didn't want to turn the ball over. We got as many blockers as we could and let Mack run."
Leftwich "Down there, him and I discussed it that he was going to run it. It wasn't going to be any dump offs. It was all run."
"He's a great leader from the standpoint that he's always positive. He's a team guy. You can tell he's been brought up around the game. He works hard and has the right attitude toward everything."
Controversial TD "I don't know exactly what happened. My job is to call the plays. I know the refs sometimes think I can call the penalties too. I just have to stick to my job. From my vision, I thought he was in. I didn't look at (the replay). They called it. That's it."
On USC QB Pete Coughlin "You have to give the kid credit. It was a gutsy performance for a second start in a championship game. You have to applaud his efforts."
OT defense "It was an aggressive style, and that was the main reason we won in overtime."
On the Repeat "It takes a lot of hard work from the kids. Our kids were dedicated when we started lifting in February and into the summer. You have to have a dedicated coaching staff. The guys I have working for me put in a ton of hours. They are committed to the kids and making them better. It's an amazing staff. They are the difference."
NA's Brendan Coniker
On Controversial TD catch "I thought I was in, but then when I went up in the air, I felt like the defensive back pushed me out of bounds. But I got lucky there."
USC coach Jim Render
On the loss "We had a lot of things to overcome. We just wore out, and we can't overcome things like the touchdown right before the half, when the guy has a foot out of bounds."
On the team "Our kids played their fannies off, which is what we ask them to do. At halftime, we didn't want to leave here with excuses."
On Dakota Conwell "I didn't want him to get reinjured. Kids always think they can do more than they are able to do… He probably would have (played more). He told me before the game he felt fine. I don't think he did. He wasn't himself. In the overtime, that's where we really could have used his strength and agility."
On controversial TD at end of first half "(The referee) told one of my assistants that he would have come down in bounds had we not (hit him). But our kid didn't even bump him. We'd feel better if they'd just say, 'We missed it.'"
"I think (the referee) has to live with himself. My job is to defend my kids."
On his seniors "They were a special group. I feel terrible. I always evaluate myself first. I always think there is one more thing I could have done to help. They competed. They enjoyed each other and accepted coaching. We hadn't put any additions in our trophy case since 2006, so we wanted to add to the tradition. They did that."

Dear Editor,
Christmas, Christians, and other Religions; or those with no Religion:
Some describe a fine line principle as the small difference that sometimes separates what is good from what is evil, or what is right from what is wrong. A word such as "Pogrom" sounds much like Program, and could easily be confused when not listening carefully or having a hearing defect. But, their meanings are worlds apart. A program, as we all know, is simply a plan of things to do. However, Pogrom is "organized Massacre", like the plan by Hitler to eradicate Jews from Germany.
Religion is defined as recognition, and worship, of a controlling superhuman power. The world has produced too many "Gods", and religions, to elaborate on here. I will only say, that too often, religions were used by leaders to control the behavior of their followers, and too many innocent victims were sacrificed to appease Gods of Harvest, Gods of Rain, Gods of War, etc. Later came the Monotheistic beliefs in God, but even that one God has resulted in more deaths in God's name than salvation in God's name. Searching for, and hoping for eternal life, has probably been with human beings since evolution placed us on top of the animal kingdom here on earth, and gave us the ability to think, and reason. Searching for the truth has always been part of that search; dealing with those who always claim they are the only ones to have found the truth causes conflict, discord among all who may have some differences in their perception of the truth, and finally wars to settle differences.
For those who are not Christian in their belief, and do not think of Jesus as the son of god; why can they not reflect on the life Jesus led, the influence of peace and forgiveness he gave to the very evil world of the roman empire, and has managed to persist until this day. For the Atheist or Agnostic who do not accept the Kingdom of Heaven, or Christ haven risen bodily from the dead, why not try the perception that he did live, he had a profound effect on the entire world, his kingdom was over the hearts and minds of all the people who live within our world, and that if his physical body didn't rise from the dead, then his spirit which lives in all men of good will did rise and exists in all of us today! That would be a better thought for them than to place signs in Times Square asking "Who needs Christ for Christmas"?
The end time as described in the Bible, and by Philosophers may vary but what both suggest is that we are in that "Germination Time" in the life of every planet, or " End Time" of our world. The problem is not knowing whether that time is 100, 1000, 10,000, or millions of years. What is sure is that we have completed many principles listed by philosophers which could lead to the end time: Human Population explosion, Man winning the evolution battle, man having completed the exploration of his planet, man's thousand fold increase in the speed of travel, ten million fold or more speed up and outreach in communication, explosion of knowledge, proliferation of computation, rise in wealth, liberation of women, slaves, and minorities, universalization of education, and the possible coming of a world language and world government.
Knowing Washington Government as well as I do; I would think it impossible to find enough honest people to run a world government, so that scenario is frightening. But, with the accomplishments of man listed above, and the discord among religions, races, financial inequalities, and political ideologies, the time has come for the world to learn to work in harmony or we have the knowledge and the capability of bringing on "The End Time".
The Spirit of Jesus, as followed during Christmas Time, whether Jesus is regarded by non believers as the son of god, or just a fantastic citizen of the world whose spirit has persisted to guide the world, would be a great start. We, the citizens of the world need to decide whether to guide this old planet on to new glories for another few billion years, or do we want to actually witness "The End"?

Wow, I've been busy since OOW2011. This is the first post since I left for San Francisco. My Android phone got blown out by a forced upgrade and would only charge when actively connected across the USB to the computer. At the conference, my laptop was sidelined as a charger.
Anyway, I'm back working on virtual environments again. I found a couple slight variation installing VMWare Tools on Oracle Unbreakable Linux. Here are the post installation steps that I encountered, and the IP addresses are based on how VMWare configured DHCP, which is qualified in this older post.
cd /media/VMware\ Tools cp VMwareTools-8.4.7-416484.tar.gz /tmp cd /tmp gunzip VMwareTools-8.4.7-416484.tar.gz tar -xvf VMwareTools-8.4.7-416484.tar cd vmware-tools-distrib sudo ./vmware-install.pl
The last step requires that you reply to a set of prompts. If you'd like to accept the default at one time, you can use the following command:
sudo ./vmware-install.pl --default
You should most likely encounter an error like the following, which it appears you can ignore. If I find anything to the contrary, the post will be updated with findings.
(EE) Failed to load module "vmwgfx" (module does not exist, 0) (EE) vmware: Please ignore the above warnings about not being able to load module/driver vmwgfx (EE) open /dev/fb0: No such device
sudo, you should open a
root shell by doing:
su - root
Enter your user's password:
You should use
vi to edit and save the
resolv.conf file with appropriate domain, search, and nameserver values. The values below work for VMWare when the gateway IP address is
# Generated by NetworkManager
domain localdomain
search localdomain
nameserver 172.16.123.2
vi, edit the
/etc/sysconfig/network file to include an appropriate gateway IP address, like so:
NETWORKING=yes HOSTNAME=localhost.localdomain GATEWAY=172.16.123.2
The last file to fix is
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file. This is the file that isn't completely configured by the GUI component (it fails set the
ONBOOT value to
DEVICE=eth0 HWADDR=00:0c:29:31:ef:46 ONBOOT=yes NM_CONTROLLED=yes BOOTPROTO=dhcp TYPE=Ethernet DNS1=172.16.123.2 USERCTL=no PEERDNS=yes IPV6INIT=no
You reset networking with the following command:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart
As always, I hope this helps a few folks.

JOHANNESBURG (Aug. 25)
President P.W. Botha promised South Africa's 110,000-member Jewish community that his government would protect them against any neo-Nazi attacks. This statement Tuesday came after an upsurge of neo-Nazi activity prompted by the death of Rudolf Hess last week.
White extremists, who view Botha as too liberal towards Blacks and are overtly anti-Semitic, enraged South African Jews by eulogizing Hess. A memorial service, complete with Nazi salutes, was held by a neo-Nazi group last week at Pretoria's cenotaph.
Other neo-Nazi activity included the laying of a wreath commemorating Hess in the Indian Ocean city of Durban, and in north Johannesburg, a businessman raised a huge swastika at his plush home and distributed T-shirts displaying pictures of Hitler to his family.
The extreme right-wing Afrikaner Resistance Movement (AWB), which has attracted mounting support this year, warned Jewish critics. Its leader, Eugene Terreblanche, said if Jews complained about AWB tributes to Hess they "would make life very difficult for themselves."
In reaction to these events, Botha made a special statement to Parliament saying: "As long as this government is in power, there will be no hesitation to act against any elements which threaten or defame any of our communities or minority groups. For this purpose, existing measures will be applied strictly." He added, "If that does not prove sufficient, additional measures will be submitted to Parliament for approval."
In the past, Botha's ruling National Party itself used anti-Semitic propaganda. In the 1940's they portrayed Dutch-descent Afrikaner whites as victims of exploitation by the Jewish business community.
In addressing the Parliament Tuesday, Botha said: "I want to tell the Jewish community of South Africa: We appreciate your contribution to the economic, cultural and technological achievements of our fatherland." He stressed, "We reject racial superiority. We reject religious coercion."

Another campus cell phone tower for Pasco schools
Often times, there's a public outcry when Hillsborough County schools propose putting a cell phone tower on a campus.
Plans to do so at Pasco schools rarely get a raised eyebrow. Less than half a dozen people complained when news emerged of a tower to rise at John Long Middle School in Wesley Chapel, and the district has gotten almost no communication -- pro or con -- over the latest pending contract to put one at Gulf Trace Elementary in Holiday.
The district stands to make $15,000 a year in rent, with an annual 4 percent increase and an added $6,000 for every tenant that uses the tower. It's a deal similar to those at Long Middle, Fivay High and Sunlake High.
It's also generated no calls or e-mails to the superintendent's offices. If the past is any guide, the agreement is likely to win board approval on Tuesday without any comment.
