Wrote one woman, 'I'm totally astounded. The measure of peace I find in listening to this music is so tremendous.' It all started with Ray Manzarek of The Doors. Ever since that one night in the 1960's when Nick sat three feet from Mr. Manzarek wailing away on the electric organ, Nick had a dream of playing the organ too. A few decades later, a successful doctor with a beautiful wife and two daughters, he had his first organ lesson. After a while, Nick replaced his organ with a Yamaha keyboard, the keyboard that this CD was recorded with. He grew tired of playing other peoples' music, and in the evenings after taking care of his patients in his medical practice, he settled down at the keyboard to compose his own melodies. This CD, recorded in DJ Jazzy Jeff's studio in PA, is a result of those nights. It is simple, yet beautiful, and full of the relaxation that Dr. Nick sought in his music all those nights after work. His family, friends, and patients have all enjoyed it. Now it's your turn.

Green Hills Unveils Optimizing Compilers and Development Environment for Siemens' New TriCore CPU
Post a comment
Santa Barbara, Calif.--Sept. 19, 1997--Green Hills Software (Santa Barbara) announced the availability of its MULTI Development Environment and family of C, C++, Fortran, and Ada 95 optimizing compilers for Siemens' new TriCore family of CPUs.
TriCore is a high-performance, 32-bit, superscalar RISC CPU that combines a 32-bit microcontroller with a 16-bit DSP. Featuring a peak performance of 130 MIPS (80 uC MIPS plus 50 DSP MIPS) and four-cycle context switching, TriCore maximizes data throughput by employing a Harvard architecture with three external 32-bit buses, one each for instruction, data, and peripheral access. To maximize code density, TriCore also employs a combination of 16- and 32-bit instructions that enables it to achieve a 30 percent reduction in code size over CPUs that use only 32-bit instructions.
Green Hills has worked closely with Siemens throughout the TriCore design and development process, resulting in a "tools-friendly" microprocessor that provides architectural support for many compiler optimizations and debug interfaces. In support of the TriCore, Green Hills has developed optimizing C and C++ compilers that are well matched to the TriCore architecture and instruction set. Green Hills has also added TriCore support to its MULTI development environment.
MULTI's integrated debug, program build, profiling, and version control facilities greatly simplify the development of complex software for the TriCore. At the same time, Green Hills' optimizing compilers, which are tightly integrated with MULTI, enable designers to take advantage of the increased code density and execution efficiency provided by TriCore's hybrid 16/32-bit architecture.
The MULTI Development Environment and Green Hills compilers automate every aspect of C, C++, Fortran, Pascal, and Ada 95 software development, from editing and source-level debugging, to run-time error checking, application profiling, and project/version control. Moreover, MULTI provides a uniform set of capabilities across Windows 95, Windows NT, and Unix host platforms.
The heart of the MULTI environment is an RTOS-aware source-level debugger that features task- and system-level debug capabilities. The debugger provides special support for C++ (including a Class Browser, object display, and template debug capability), Ada95 (including a type inheritance browser, source code navigation and cross reference browser, and graphical call tree display), and X-Windows debugging.
MULTI's program builder, editor, and debugger are tightly integrated to offer quick, convenient single- and double-click transfers between debug mode and full source editing. For example, simply clicking on a compiler error message brings the user to the editor, opens the file containing the error, moves the cursor to the line containing the error, and highlights the error.
The MULTI Development Environment for Windows NT or Windows 95, including a C/C++ compiler, costs $5,900 for a single-seat developer's license. The Unix version of MULTI costs $8,900.

Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California
My wife and I wish to sell our 21 year old son a car. Although he will get a bill of sale reflecting ongoing payments, we wish to maintain the title in our names until he has finished paying for the car (approx 12 months). He will have valid driver's license and auto insurance. Will we be liable, in any way, for any potential mishaps, accidents or tickets he may come in contact with during the 12 months he is paying the car off and the title is in our name?
2 Answers from Attorneys
Yes. As the titled owner of the car you may have vicarious liability under a negligent entrust/permissive use theory if an accident were to occur.
This is directly from the form California jury instructions:
720. Motor Vehicle Owner Liability - Permissive Use of Vehicle
[Name of plaintiff] claims that [he/she] was harmed and that [name of defendant] is responsible for the harm because [name of defendant] gave [name of driver] permission to operate the vehicle. To establish this claim, [name of plaintiff] must prove all of the following:
1. That [name of driver] was negligent in operating the vehicle;
2. That [name of defendant] was an owner of the vehicle at the time of the injury to [name of plaintiff]; and
3. That [name of defendant], by words or conduct, gave permission to [name of driver] to use the vehicle.
In determining whether permission was given, you may consider the relationship between the owner and the operator. [For example, if the parties are related or the owner and the operator are employer and employee, such a relationship may support a finding that there was implied permission to use the vehicle.]
[If the vehicle owner has given a person permission to use the vehicle, and that person authorizes a third person to operate the vehicle, the third person may be considered to have used the vehicle with the permission of the owner.]
Vehicle Code section 17150 provides: "Every owner of a motor vehicle is liable and responsible for death or injury to person or property resulting from a negligent or wrongful act or omission in the operation of the motor vehicle, in the business of the owner or otherwise, by any erson using or operating the same with the permission, express or implied, of the owner."
Vehicle Code section 17151(a) provides, in part: "The liability of an owner . . . is limited to the amount of fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000) for the death of or injury to one person . . . and . . . to the amount of thirty thousand dollars ($30,000) for the death of or injury to more than one person . . . and is limited to the amount of five thousand dollars ($5,000) for damage to property."
The statutory limitation under section 17151(a) "does not apply . . . to a vehicle owner's own common law negligence, as distinguished from the owner's statutory vicarious liability for the operator's negligence." (Fremont Compensation Insurance Co. v. Hartnett (1993) 19 Cal.App.4th 669, 675-676 [23 Cal.Rptr.2d 567].)
I agree with Mr. Becker.

Kalil named to first Pro Bowl
- Blog Post by: Mark Craig
- January 25, 2013 - 3:46 PM
If the Pro Bowl is held any later than Sunday, the Vikings might have to overnight their entire team to Hawaii.
Rookie left tackle Matt Kalil became the seventh Vikings player named to the Pro Bowl when Washington's Trent Williams was scratched due to injury. Kalil also is the third Viking added as an injury replacement, joining linebacker Chad Greenway and tight end Kyle Rudolph.
Kalil, the fourth overall draft pick, joined Hall of Famer Gary Zimmerman (1986) and Todd Steussie as the only tackles to start all 16 games as a rookie. In doing so, Kalil was there every step of the way as running back Adrian Peterson ran for 2,097 yards, the second-highest rushing total in NFL history.
Kalil also is the fourth Vikings rookie to make the Pro Bowl since 2007. The others are Peterson (2007), receiver Percy Harvin (2009) and kicker Blair Walsh, also a rookie this year.
Peterson, Walsh, fullback Jerome Felton and defensive end Jared Allen were the Vikings' original selections to the Pro Bowl.

I have an old and in good condition NC6220 business notepad
I have noticed recently that when I start it up it doesn't always light up the main screen? - nothing is visible.
I know my battery is weak and when I took out the battery done the usual unplug and hold down poer button - no difference really.
When I left the battery out and the unit disconnected for a few days no problem - it started went on line just like normal, and then it frooze - perhaps doing too many things - not sure?
So i rebooted it and it only went to the blank screen section and did not highlight anything.
I thought is it charging - the charge light is indicated as green whereas beforehand when this first happened it was amber, leading me to think it is a bettery problem?
Can these units run without a battery and docking station?
Does anyone have any idea what is happening to it?
Thank you

PROVO — As a young boy, Dixon Woodbury remembers catching giant bugs in the Seattle woods with his friends, eagerly bringing them home so his mother could tell him what they were, what they ate and what ate them. Growing up with an entomologist mother and a physiologist father, Woodbury peppered them with questions at the dinner table, always curious about the world around him.
When the topic of evolution came up, Woodbury remembers his father scratching his head then saying, "I believe that is how God did it."
"It made a lot of sense to me and I never really needed to ask again," said Woodbury who now teaches physiology and developmental biology at Brigham Young University. "I didn't understand the details of it, but that idea fit right into other things I was learning at church and school."
Over the years, Woodbury's beliefs in religion and science have remained harmonious, helping to break the stereotype that scientists are hardened atheists or anti-religion advocates.
In fact, researchers at Rice University and Baylor recently released a study that showed 85 percent of the 275 scientists they interviewed believe that science and religion never or only occasionally conflict, and that spirituality is personally important to them.
"They cover different things," Woodbury said of faith and science. "I have no trouble believing in a God, a benevolent being who takes care of us ... and expects us to learn what in the world he's doing here and how the Earth works. He's given us senses to do that."
The warfare mentality
Centuries ago, men sucha as Johannes Kepler, Robert Boyle and Isaac Newton studied the movement of the planets, geometry and laws of motion as natural philosophers — what we would now call scientists, said Charles Carrigan, a geology professor at Olivet Nazarene University in Illinois.
"Science was, and still is, a branch of philosophy that focuses on what can be learned from the study of the natural world," said Carrigan, who is also the president of the Affiliation of Christian Geologists.
For these natural philosophers, studying nature was one way to understand God, and studying scripture was the other way. Both were important for different reasons, and the two were compatible because they were both created by God.
Yet, two books published in the late 1800s — the "History of the Conflict Between Religion and Science," and "History of the Warfare of Science With Theology in Christendom" — were instrumental in pushing the idea that the Bible and biology could never be compatible.
People began to take sides, and today, far too many scientists, politicians and average Americans wield their position like a battle ax.
"If there is a war between science and religion, it's gone on long enough and for what purpose?" asked religious scholar and BYU law professor John Welch during a recent lecture discussing faith and science.
"The purpose of this certainly cannot be to annihilate the opponent. They both have need of the other," Welch said.
Yet for some, that symbiosis is unsettling, even threatening to their way of thinking.
During a recent Republican primary debate, presidential hopeful Texas Gov. Rick Perry expressed skepticism for manmade climate change — "the science is not settled on this" — and for evolution, calling it a "theory out there."
Anti-science comments from conservative, religious individuals such as Perry do little to help heal the perceived rift or win support, pointed out Jon M. Huntsman Jr., who is also running for president.
"In order for the Republican Party to win," he told his fellow candidates, "we can't run from science."
Ideas about evolution
For some, faith and science don't conflict until it comes to evolution, which may explain the large number of theories that range from complete rejection to absolute acceptance.
One theory among Christians and Jews is that Genesis should be read literally, meaning the Earth is less than 10,000 years old, and man was created by God, not evolved from a common ancestor.
This position is usually referred to as young-earth creationism and often represents a misunderstanding of scripture, says the Rev. Dr. Rodney Holder, course director of The Faraday Institute for Science and Religion at St. Edmund's College, Cambridge, U.K.
"The early chapters of Genesis are telling us theological truths about the relationship of God to the world, not giving us a scientific account rivaling the Big Bang theory and the theory of evolution," he told the Deseret News.
"This was realized by the theologians of the early church ... who knew that you couldn't literally have three 24-hour days before there was a sun."
Holder added that if the creation account was taken literally, young-earth creationists — about 40 percent of Americans, according to a Gallup poll from December — would believe there was a metal dome over the Earth, because of how the word "firmament" is translated in Hebrew.
Instead, the account conveys that there is one God, God's creations are good and the sun and moon are intended to give light, not to be worshipped as pagan deities.
"Once one realizes all this," Holder says, "then it seems to me that it ceases to be a problem to recognize evolution as God's means of creating the living creatures and ultimately ourselves who are uniquely 'made in God's image.' "
Others agree with an allegorical creation story and accept geological and astronomical conclusions that the Earth is more than 4.5 billion years old; however, they discard evolutionary theory and common descent and assert that God created life progressively, a position called old-earth or progressive creationism, explained Jonathan Baker, a graduate of Weber State University who is working on a Ph.D. in Geology at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
A lesser-known but heavily supported position among scientists is one of theistic evolution — that God exists and he created the universe and all life in that universe using evolution as a tool.
Christian scientists can take theistic evolution one step further to evolutionary creationism, which holds that God is a personal god with a grand purpose to his work, not just an uninterested observer in the evolutionary process, said Baker, a Presbyterian who writes a blog on the science/faith dialogue.
On the opposite end of the spectrum are atheists such as theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking and evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins, who assert that science has proved God is not necessary and that those who believe in God are delusional, respectively.
Rejecting ideas like Dawkins', proponents of Intelligent Design believe that some things in nature, those that are "irreducibly complex," cannot be explained by natural evolution processes and thus require an intelligent designer (God) to fill in the gaps.
Theistic evolutionists differ from Intelligent Design supporters in that they believe God used evolution and natural selection to create things, and that God continues to work among his creations by the laws of science which he put in place, Holder said.
Intelligent Design has its own movement, fueled by individuals who want it taught in classrooms instead of evolution, even promoting a "Teach the Controversy" campaign, to point out perceived flaws in evolutionary theory.
However, a majority of scientists reject Intelligent Design as a non-scientific theory.
"ID doesn't make predictions nor does it publish its 'results' in scientific journals, so if it is science then it is bad science," Holder said in an interview with the BBC in June. "If it is theology then it's bad theology because orthodox theology sees God involved in the whole process of the world, upholding and sustaining the laws he has ordained and bringing about his purposes through those laws. God is not to be confined to ever narrower gaps in scientific knowledge. Quite the opposite: God is to be found in what we know from science, not from what we don't know."
Finding harmony
There's a profound message in the title of Francis Collins' foundation: "BioLogos."
The combination of the Greek words, "Bios" for life, and "Logos" for the Word, reflects a conviction that "the universe, and the life within it, can be understood as a manifestation of God's creative purpose," wrote Collins, a physician, geneticist, Christian, and former director of the Human Genome Project, a 13-year project funded by the U.S. Department of Energy and the National Institutes of Health to identify the nearly 25,000 genes in human DNA and make them accessible for further study.
"We're heavily invested in seeing that public understanding of science improves," said Kathryn Applegate, program director for BioLogos. "And certainly to show that there's no reason to think you can't have a vibrant Christian faith and at the same time, accept conclusions of mainstream science like evolution. It's less about telling people what to believe than it is about really helping people to see that we need to have this conversation."
And the conversation only progresses when individuals are well-versed about the current scientific research, plus understand what their scriptures really do and do not say.
"Like a good scientist, all readers, all people must take stock of what we really know, assess how well we know what we know, why we know what we know, quantify our margin of error and formulate tactics to move our knowledge ahead," Welch said. "This is good scientific procedure and it applies just as well in the area of religion."58 comments on this story
For those who are afraid to dive into the science, for fear it will shake their faith, Holder assures them they'll be fine.
"If God is the Creator of the Universe, then learning more about science is learning more about God," says Holder. "How can anything we discover threaten our faith?"
It's that promise of new discoveries that keeps Woodbury excitedly glued to his job.
"As a scientist, I have the enviable job of working every day trying to figure out how God did cool things," he said. "I consider myself a lucky person. I don't suspend my faith, I'm in awe as it unfolds before me."

As you know, each school year the Texas Education Agency issues each school district a financial accountability rating through the School Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas (School FIRST), as required by law. The rating for a particular school year is based on the financial data for the prior year, as specified in Texas Administrative Code rules. For example, the school year 2012–2013 rating is based on the financial data for 2011–2012.
One of the ways in which a school district can view its rating for a particular year is through the online School FIRST application, part of which can be accessed from the FIRST web page. During a comprehensive review of our web pages, we recently became aware that the labeling of the year options in the "FIRST Rating for Fiscal Year" field of that application was causing confusion. In the application, to view the rating for a particular year (for example, school year 2012–2013), a user had to select the prior year (2011–2012) in the "FIRST Rating for Fiscal Year" field. To eliminate confusion, we have revised the application so that users who wish to view the rating for a particular school year can choose that school year in the "FIRST Rating for Fiscal Year" field instead of the prior year (the year from which financial data are being drawn). Also, we have changed the label for the field to read "Rating Year."These changes are for clarification only and do not substantively change School FIRST or any ratings under that system. We hope that the changes will make the School FIRST web pages and application easier to use and understand.

vnxnro racsiMru: Posnr. svs'rs'M I This invention relates to radio facsimiie transmission systems and, more particularly, to a radio facsimile postal image signals. Coaxial lines, radio relay links, or the like, are also included-,--to transmit these image signals to a central, or
electronic,"post office, where a predetermined electrical code is added, indicative of the name and address of the one person for -.whomthe letter is destined. The composite message,i;e.,'image and code signals together, are then directed by way of an included transmitter and either microwave relay network or satellite in synchronous equatoria l. orbit, for example, to that geographical area in which delivery" isto be made. A radio facsimile recorder located at the situs of the addressee is'further included and conditioned to respond only to message signals having that identifying code, to provide a permanent copy of the transmitted letter.
lt will be readily apparent that a postal system of this type I can greatly simplify the delivery of mail, especially on a crosscountry and transoceanic basis. Not only will such a system significantly reduce the time between sending and receipt of mail, but the tremendous rail, plane and ship tonnages involved in such delivery will also be greatly cut. By further providing for the return. of the deposited. letter to the sender immediately after it has been converted into a video message,
. complete privacy is assured because no one other than the sender and the addressee will have access to the letter.
The 'novel features which are considered to be characteristic of this invention are set forth with particularity in the appended claims/The inventionitself, however, both as to its organizationand method of operation as well as objects and advantages thereof. will bestbe'understood from the following description when read in connection with the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a pictorial diagram showing one embodiment of a radio facsimile *postal system constructed according to the present invention;
' FIG. 2 is a'bl ock diagram showing one arrangement for the v transmitting portion-of the postal system of FIG. 1; and
F IG. 3 is a block diagram showing one arrangement for the receiving-portion of that postal system.
Referring now to FIG. l,'the'radio facsimile postal system pictorial ly'shown includes a plurality of electronic scanner units or radio mailboxes 10, ll, l2, 13, etc., each of which is coupled by means of a coaxial line, radio relay link, or the like, 100. 1'0], 102, 103, etc. to a central, or electronic, post office 200. One of these post offices may be so located as to serve the entire population of a small town, while many may be employed in serving the needs of a large city. The individual scanner units 10. ll. l2, 13, etc. may be located in public places, in office buildings, in multiple-dwelling units, or, in general, in any place where people congregate.
A person wishing to send a letter or other type of written communication prepares the letter in the usual fashion, but adds the name and address of the desired recipient at the heading ofthe first sheet. Depending upon the number of sheets to be transmitted, he then affixes the proper postage or, alternatively, attaches a credit card to, or inserts a credit card with, the letter being sent. The first sheet of the letter, with postage or credit card attached or added, is then deposited by the sender in the scanner slot (100, Ila, 12a, 13a, etc.) of the I one of the radio mailboxes 10, ll, l2, 13, etc., serving his particular area, for example.
The central post office 200, typically includes a first plurality'of units to store the message informations received prior to their being transmitted in anorderly fashion, a data processing unit including central address and coding memory files for supplying destination codes'to be tmmmeat sg withjthe individual messages,asecond plurality ofzuiiits to combine the codes with the messages and to concentrate the resulting composite messages for later, successive communications, and one or more transmitter units to transmit the written messagestocancel the attached stamps) or to record the credit cardda tai (such as name, address and identification 'number). The scanner is also conditioned to scan the letter and to, convert the written heading address and message into videoor image representative signals. If the letter to be communicated consists of more than one sheet, the sender feeds the remaining sheets intothe scanner slot 104, Ila, 120, or tea, etc., in a sequential manner for successive conversion to image signals.
The image representative signals so developed are carried along the connecting coaxial line, radio relay link, or the like 100, 10], I02, 103, etc., to the central office 200. The signals are there recorded in the information storage unit associated with the electronic scanner unit in use, on magnetic tape for example, while a "privacy code" is supplied by the dataprocessing memory file indicative of the name and addressaof the one person for whom the letter is destined. Because this code is uniquely associated with only one-individual, the a ddressee, and because this code is securely maintained in the central office, assurance against unauthorized eavesdropping or interception of the transmission is afforded. I As was previously mentioned, the central post office also includes a plurality of units serving to combine individual messages and codes and to concentrate the resulting com- 1 posite messages for later, successive communications. Such units function to store in numerical sequence the individual messages serially recorded on each of the plurality of included information units prior to a single communication by one of the microwave transmitter units in the central post off ce. More particularly, each concentrator 'unit incorporated in the post office effectively adds the image-representative signals and identifyingcode signals associated with the letter a sender wishes to transmit to the corresponding image and code signals associated with the letter previously deposited in the same radio mailbox, for example. I
The concentrator units, in addition, serve to route-all messages intended for a particular geographical location to mission of these composite messages to the desired addressee.
Where the addressee resides in the same general locality as does the sender, the concentrator unit can route the message to a community antenna television (CATV) coaxial network 400 serving that area and to which the addressee 401 is connected. (In this respect, it will be understood that such a network may comprise a system of coaxial cable circuits for carrying the desired information to a plurality of receiving units.) Alternatively, it can route the message ,toa television broadcast transmitter (operating at a 250i) MHz. frequency, for example) for transmission to a television receiver modified somewhat (as will be described hereinafter) so as to provide a hard copy record of the communication. Where the transmis- I television transmissions. The code signals identifying the addressee can in this last arrangement, provide an indication as to where in this network, the message is to be dropped off-in other words, at an intermediate location in a larger network system. In a fourth arrangement, applicable to cross-country and transoceanic transmissions, the concentrator can route the facsimile messages to microwave transmitters 500, 501 operating in conjunction with satellites 502, 503 in synchronous equatorial orbit. Transmissions from New York to an addressee location 504 in the midwestern part of the United States, for example, can be accomplished by directing the transmitter 500 at the satellite 502 located on the 90 west meridian, while similar transmission to an addressee location 505 on the west coast of the United States can be accomplished by transmitting from the transmitter 501 towards the satellite 503 situated on the 120 west meridian. Mail deliveties" for specific localities served by these satellite can be had by radiating from the satellite from several transmitters included thereon, operating on a different frequency for each location and beamed into the same general geographical area, or on the same frequency for all locations but beamed into different geographical areas. Alternatively, transmission to the satellite at different frequencies for the different localities intended, and directive radiation of those frequency transmissions from the satellite to those regions can also be employed to provide the delivery.
The receiving unit of the electronic postal system includes a radio facsimile recorder and for all but the first transmitting arrangement described above, an antenna for receiving the message transmissions. In that first arrangement, a simple connection from the recorder to the CATV coaxial system is all that is required. In practice, almost every home and office might be equipped with one of these units--each, however, being preset with its own unique code corresponding to that interposed with the image-representative signals at the central post office location. Although all such units are capable of receiving the transmitted image and code signals, only that one recorder at the location of the assigned addressee having a corresponding identifying code will be activated to reproduce the transmitted message from the image signals. Since the message can not be recorded on any other receiving unit, they each being associated with different identifying codes, privacy will be maintained at the receiving end" of the postal system, and complete privacy from the sender to the recipient will be assured.
Referring now to FIG. 2, the block diagram of the transmitting portion of the electronic postal system there shown includes means providing a written message for transmission to a preassigned destination. Such means, shown by one of the insertion slots a, Ila, I20, I30, etc., is an integral portion of the radio mailbox or electronic scanner units 10, 11, l2, 13, etc., and cooperates therewith to generate image signals representative of the written message, including its assigned destination. The scanner units 10, ll, 12, 13, etc., may each be of the well-known flying spot type, as shown, with the belt system of each serving to return the written message to the sender via the slot 10b, 11b, 12b, 13b, etc., after the conversion of the message to corresponding image signals. The coaxial lines 100, 101, I02, 103, etc., carry these signals to the central or electronic post office 200 servicing, for example, all the scanner units employed in the sender's city.
The central post office of the system includes a plurality of information storage units 200a,, 2000 2000 200a,, the precise number being determined by the number of radio mailbox scanners linked to the post office 200, by the delay in establishing the operability of the information storage units, and by the capacity of each storage unit. Indicated as including magnetic tape recorders in FIG. 2, these information storage units each record the image signals, with a typical 400 kHz. bandwidth, representative of the messages to be commu' nicated and are designed to shut down upon completion of the individual message recordations.
Also included in the central post office are means responsive to the image signals representative of the preassigned destination for providing code signals uniquely identifying the destination as to location. Indicated by the data processing code file unit 2001;, such means responds to the imagerepresentative destination signals to select from its memory that one code signal which identifies the particular addressee for whom the message is intended. The code signal, for example, may be in the form of a digital code gleaned from a predetermined characteristic in the message-heading address, such as a telephone subscriber code or social security number. The code signals provided by the unit 200k are supplied when playback of the stored image signals is directed, to a plurality of adder units 200e,, 2005 200e,, 2002,, etc., which multiplexes the code signals with the image signals in an appropriate manner to form composite radio facsimile messages for transmission.
The central post office 200 further includes a plurality of concentrator units 2000,, 200c 200c which units route the radio facsimile messages in numerical sequence to one of a like number of transmitters to complete the transmission. That is, the concentrator unit 200cscans the code signal outputs of the multiplexer adders 200e,, 200e 2008 200e,, etc., in turn, and sequentially couples, for example: (a) all image and code signals directed for transoceanic communication to a transmitter 200d serving the prescribed area by means of a first satellite in synchronous equatorial orbit; (b) all image and code signals directed for cross-country communication to a transmitter 200d serving the intended area by means of a second such satellite; and (c) all such signals directed for local communication to the input of a CATV network operating within that region. Each concentrator typically may include its own magnetic tape recorder in which the message information to be routed to its respective transmitter is stored prior to the actual transmissions. In a typical arrangement, the video bandwidth capability of the concentrators 2000,, etc., may each be of the order of4 MHz.
Transmission from each of the units 200d, and 200d in FIG. 2 may be at a single frequency or at different frequencies, depending upon the design of the satellite station employed. Where the satellite design is such that reradiated message signals can be assigned different identifying frequencies in response to transmitted code signals signifying different geographical locations, the message transmissions can be at a single frequency. Where the design is such that different identifying frequencies can not be determined in response to differing code signals, then the message transmissions will be at differing frequencies. In this way, a satellite serving the west coast of the United Stages, for example, can reradiate message signals destined for California at a frequency f,, those destined for Oregon at a frequency f those for Washington at a frequency f;,, etc. Several antennas or a single phased array capable of forming a number of independent beams may thus be used.
The block diagram of a receiving unit for the electronic postal system shown in FIG. 3 includes means conditioned to receive and reproduce the radiated message signals only at the location of the addressee of the written communication. As shown, this means may comprise a directive antenna 300 coupled to a television-type receiver 301 which is modified somewhat to make the received video signal available at an output terminal 302. The video signal is coupled from the terminal 302 to a radio facsimile recorder 303, which though shown as a separate unit, may be an integral part of a console including the television receiver 301. The recorder 303 is preset by an included decoder 304 to respond only to the presence of a unique code signal in the applied video signal, and all such decoder units are assigned different code signals with which to operate. Moreover, the code signal to which each decoder 304 is preset to operate with is set to exactly correspond with the code signal added to the message representative image signals by direction of the data processing unit 200b at the central post office (FIG. 2), in
identifying the recipient of the desired communication. When a code signal is received which matches that preset into the decoder 304, the entire message-representative video signal is coupled from the output terminal 302 to the recording apparatus 305 of the unit 303, which then operates to reproduce the message information in an appropriate manner. Since the only recording apparatus which will respond to the received message signal is that located at the addressees location, complete privacy will be assured because the reproduced hard copy will be generated only in the addressees home or office.
I claim:
1. A radio facsimile postal system providing privacy in the transmission of a written message from the sender of the message to its intended recipient, comprising:
first means providing said message for transmission to said intended recipient;
second means cooperating with said first means for generating image signals representative of said message including the name and address of said recipient;
third means responsive to the image signals representative of the name and address of said recipient for providing category code signals uniquely identifying said recipient and for multiplexing said code signals with the image signals representative of said message to form a composite radio facsimile signal for direct transmission to said recipient and in which the code signals precede the message image signals;
fourth means for transmitting said composite radio facsimile signal including the assigned code signal uniquely identifying the intended recipient and the image message signal intended for his receipt into a geographical area in which said recipient is located are in which are located great numbers of other possible recipients of the intended message but each identified by differing category codes; and
fifth means located at the address of the intended recipient for receiving said composite signals and conditioned to reproduce only those messages at his address location which are accompanied by said unique code signal as signed to him;
whereby privacy of transmission is fostered since said image message signal will only be reproduced at the address of the intended recipient to the exclusion of said other possi ble recipients in the same geographical area into which said composite signal is transmitted and since no intervening human factor forms part of the transmission system.
2. The system of claim 1 wherein said fourth means includes a microwave transmitter beamed at a relay satellite in synchronous equatorial orbit serving the geographical area in which said intended recipient and said other possible recipients are located.
3. The system of claim 1 wherein said fourth means includes a community antenna television network serving the geographical area in which said intended recipient and said other possible recipients are located.
4. The system of claim 1 wherein there is also included sixth means for returning said written message to the sender thereof after the generation of image signals representative of the message to further enhance privacy in the message transmission as no human factor need intervene in order to destroy the message after the transmission thereof.

Last week, we quietly released to Windows Update a new version of the Universal Driver for Windows SideShow! This new release includes support for additional transports, bringing the complete list to:
- Bluetooth
- TCP/IP with SSL
In addition to powering devices built using the Windows SideShow Device SDK for .NET Micro Framework v1.4 (and later), and perhaps the most exciting part of this release, is the protocol documentation which explains how you (yes, you) can implement your very own Windows SideShow-compatible device without having to write any PC code at all. That's right, no more writing a PC driver when you build a SideShow-compatible device; we've done that work for you. And did I mention it's free? Yes, that's right: there's no royalty, license, or any other legal documents you need to sign in order to get access to, and use, the documentation and driver for your device.
This driver even has a few more tricks up its sleeve, including the ability to support custom icons for devices. When your device shows up in Windows, it actually looks like your device (instead of the generic Windows SideShow-compatible device icon, and assuming you provide your own). Hey, it's all the little things that count 🙂
We're extremely excited that the universal driver and documentation are now available, and hope that this helps make it easier for you to add SideShow support to your devices. As always, if you need any assistance getting things going, head on over to our Windows SideShow Development forum on MSDN and post away!

Experimental: Doxazosin
Doxazosin is a long-acting and selective alpha 1-NE blocker, which inhibits the binding of norepinephrine to alpha receptors in the autonomic nervous system.
Drug: Doxazosin
Doxazosin is initiated at 2 mg/wk, and titrated up to a maximum of 8 mg/day over approximately 4 weeks. Participants will be maintained on 8mg daily dosing until week 13. The subjects will undergo the discontinuation from the study medication during weeks 14 -15.
Other Name: Cardura (Doxazosin Mesylate)
Placebo Comparator: Placebo
Matched placebo daily dosing.
Drug: Placebo
Matched placebo daily dosing
Other Name: Sugar pills (capsule)
Detailed Description:
The noradrenergic system, especially the alpha 1-adrenergic receptor, may play an important role in cocaine addiction in humans. Doxazosin is a long-acting and selective alpha 1-adrenergic receptor blocker, which inhibits the binding of norepinephrine to alpha receptors in the autonomic nervous system. This study will evaluate the efficacy of doxazosin in reducing cocaine-using behavior in treatment seeking cocaine-dependent individuals, and will guide future pharmacotherapy trials using Doxazosin or related alpha 1 receptor antagonists for treatment of cocaine addiction. Additionally, this study will identify genetic subpopulations of participants for whom doxazosin is preferentially effective, specifically examining the R492C functional polymorphism of the ADRA1A gene.
This 15-week double-blind, placebo controlled clinical trial will provide treatment for 100 cocaine-dependent patients and includes a 13 week medication trial (weeks 1-13) and up to 2 week washout period (weeks 14-15). Qualifying subjects will be randomized to receive Doxazosin 8 mg/day, or placebo during the study participation.
Subjects will be receiving 2 mg study medication/placebo capsules at week 1, with 2mg/week induction rate for 3 weeks, according to their randomized assignments, and are maintained on these agents through week 13. During the course of the trial, all participants will receive manual-guided cognitive behavioral therapy. At the end of the study (weeks 14-15), participants will undergo discontinuation from active/placebo medication over a 2-week period.

College can be an exciting and transformative time, but it can also be overwhelming and stressful.
Stress, anxiety and a wide range of other emotions can be normal reactions to college life. When emotional, relational, or psychological difficulties make it hard to be a successful student, it is important to reach out and ask for help. Various types of support and treatment are available and may address your needs. The SHC is pleased to be able to offer psychiatric care to students through our psychiatric nurse practitioner.
The main focus of psychiatric care at the SHC is the management of psychiatric medications. If you or your therapist thinks psychiatric medication might be helpful to you, or you would like to discuss the option of medication, you may set up an initial psychopharmacology evaluation. This initial evaluation, scheduled for forty-five minutes, is an opportunity for the prescribing clinician to hear about your current problem and symptoms, and to assess if medication is appropriate. This visit is also a time for you to ask questions about psychiatric medication, learn about medication options, possible side effects, risks and benefits, as well as non-pharmacological options.
If you are a student interested in counseling and psychotherapy, please contact AU's Counseling Center by phone or stop by their office to schedule a confidential appointment with a counselor. The Counseling Center can also provide referrals to psychiatric and psychological care in the community. The University's Counseling Center also addresses all urgent psychiatric emergencies. You can reach them at 202.885.3500 or find them in MGC 214.

Pacts or facts?
The unusual sight of President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner and City Mayor Mauricio Macri jointly inaugurating a decisive stretch of the Illia highway on Tuesday inevitably revived theories of a "pact" which were denied by CFK in her speech even before the speculation could be renewed. Before entering into the political analysis, it should be said that anything to ease downtown traffic congestion is both sufficiently urgent and ideologically neutral to be readymade bipartisan territory (thus many Kirchnerites without a single kind word for Macri praised Metrobus at the time of its launch) — this long overdue relief for commuting motorists is thus hardly something which would be inexplicable without some hidden political agenda.
As for the alleged "pact," the theories usually take the form of CFK seeking to revisit 1999 when an outgoing Peronist president visibly preferred an opposition alliance over his own party's candidate — so deep-seated is the notion that the Peronist movement is the country's natural ruling party that it seems easier to relinquish the presidency rather than control of Peronism for any politician fancying comeback chances. Since at times this year CFK has been given a rough time by some of the problems snowballing over the last decade, the thought of handing them over to somebody else must surely have its appeal. Yet rather than rumouring any tacit agreement with Macri, it might be more accurate to see this as a presidential political strategy which is mostly win-win — especially where the PRO centre-right mayor is concerned. If the "pact" theories of mutual back-scratching are correct, then CFK is favoured by passing on the presidency to a rightist who is easily demonized and eases her own return (something akin to the Chilean scenario of Michelle Bachelet on either side of Sebastián Piñera) instead of being displaced by a party colleague taking control of both the government and Peronist machinery. But if Macri were to suffer from being linked to a president who has lost half her popularity in the last three years, that would have its advantages too — yet either way, much less in it for Macri, thus raising doubts if there is any pact. Given that some of the decline in presidential popularity stems from an abrasive image, a display of common sense and practical results instead of ideologically loaded polarization might well carry opinion poll benefits. Finally, proximity to a mayor also facing court charges might remind some of the opposition that their pressure on Vice-President Amado Boudou to resign or request leave can cut both ways.
All very intriguing but none the less speculation for that.

Title: Observation of Ro-vibrational OH Emission in Transitional Disks
Abstract: While the SEDs of transition objects are commonly interpreted as arising from the dynamical sculpting of the inner disk by a giant planet, other processes such as planetesimal formation and photoevaporation can produce similar SEDs. Luckily, these scenarios make different predictions for the radial distribution of the gaseous disk, allowing us to distinguish among them. Recent studies that have used [OI](lambda)6300Aand 4.7\micron CO fundamental emission to probe the radial distribution of gas in intermediate mass transition objects have yielded conflicting results regarding the nature of these systems. The OI observations have been interpreted to suggest the presence of OH in the inner disk, while the CO observations indicate that the inner disk is devoid of warm molecular gas. We propose to resolve the conflict by observing near-infrared OH emission. High- resolution spectra of the OH line profiles will allow us to compare the radial distribution of OH, CO and OI. The results of this study will clarify the evolutionary state of these transition objects and provide important constraints on the chemistry of inner disks.

Every day the Washington Nationals are reminded of the baseball treasure they still have in their midst but will be losing at the end of this season. Each week brings new Davey Johnson quips and batting tips, old stories and fresh theories — where does he come up with them all? — on seemingly everything.
All of these moments form a portrait of how kind baseball can be to a 70-year-old. Some of us wondered whether Johnson, after 101 / 2 years away from managing in the majors, would have the same good-but-no-longer-great experience as Joe Gibbs after 11 years retired from the NFL. Now we know.
Gibbs went from 140-65 (counting the playoffs) to 31-36 and had to hire new coordinators to get him up to speed. Davey went from a .564 career percentage to .563 so far with the Nats and was named the National League manager of the year last season. In the Washington clubhouse, everyone lines up to learn from Davey while there is still time. No one doubts that the best baseball mind in the room is the manager.
So, Davey, did you talk to Rafael Soriano in Spanish or English?
"Oh, he speaks good English," Johnson said. "I grew up in San Antonio where a lot of Spanish is spoken. My brother is fluent. But I understand it better than I speak it. Sometimes I get my Spanish mixed up with my Japanese. . . . I speak in one [language] and think in the other."
Hold on just a second, Davey. You speak Japanese, too, along with the pilot's license, the scuba instructor stuff, the scratch-golfer bit, the poisonous snakes killed in mid-air with a two-iron, the made-my-first-million selling real estate, the degree in math, the recent offseason safari ("I like Africa. I didn't get eaten"), the computer geek skills, the oldster communicating by iPad with his players and the sabermetric studies with Prof. Earnshaw Cook of Johns Hopkins as far back as the '60s — and you speak Japanese, too?
"When I played in Japan [two years as a Yomiuri Giant and teammate of Sadaharu Oh], I had a translator who couldn't speak English. They all called him 'Rich boy.' So I had to learn to speak Japanese," Johnson said. "Sometimes I try to speak to the Japanese reporters in Japanese."
Okay, how good is Chad Tracy's Japanese after he played in Japan?
"Pretty weak," Johnson said. "I asked him to say something. He said 'salutations.' What's that [good for]? How about, 'You're good-looking.' "
So, if any Nat wants to learn a pickup line in any language where baseball is played, just ask Davey.
As Danny Espinosa said, "Seventy is only a number to him." Who has known Bryce Harper since he was 15 and probably gets him better than anyone? Yes, the guy 50 years older. One second Davey's almost installed Harper in the superstar No. 3 spot in the batting order, but with the next, he's consigning him to left field, saying in his Texas twang, "He ain't hit a cutoff man since he's been here."
Washington's recent experience of Gibbs II and Davey V (he's been fired four times) probably says more about the nature of their sports than about the two men's adaptability with age. Both left their sports as men with an edge: Johnson's tongue got him in trouble, and Gibbs could chill a veteran with one cold look and, along with all his virtues, was part NFL shark.
Both came back as grandfathers, unthreatening, funny at times, self-deprecating and maybe wiser. How would that work?
Apparently, baseball is kinder and less changing than football. Johnson may now be a different man and manager in subtle ways, but overall he is as good as or maybe slightly better than ever.
In baseball, change in techniques and theories are always built on the same base of fundamentals. In the NFL, not only do new formations and systems arrive in a constantly shifting continuum, but the rules change, too, forcing adaptation. You almost have to live the evolution of the sport to be completely up to speed. For example, when the NFL cut the play clock to 35 seconds, some of Gibbs's innovative multi-package, motion-and-shift-based offense of the '80s was impractical. It just took too much time.
Baseball changes, too, but not in the same whiplash way. When the Nats hired Rick Eckstein as hitting coach, he was state-of-the 21st-century art, both technically and in film study. Yet his theories clashed with minor league instructors (now gone) and even some in the big league clubhouse. Johnson quickly saw Eckstein as a modern continuation of classic methods.
The team's hitting has steadily improved as Eckstein and Johnson complement each other. For example, Eckstein studied Denard Span game films from 2009 to help the Nats' new center fielder get back to his best self this spring. Johnson watched batting practice and told Span to stop pointing his front foot at the pitcher and, instead to keep his front side closed to handle outside pitches better.
That Davey pointer was true when he was young and obsessively picking the brains of Ted Williams, Hank Aaron, Oh and Frank Robinson. It was true when he managed Hall of Famers such as Gary Carter, Eddie Murray, Cal Ripken and Barry Larkin. That "offensive theory" never changes.
All in all, Johnson is now so attuned to players' needs, so intuitive after 51 years of pro experience and so good at masking his managing as mere casual conversation that it seems likely he's never been so fine a manager. You can't grade gravitas but, after decades of playing the smart aleck, he has it, though not the way anyone would want to get it after the death of his daughter, a stepson and his own near death from a stomach infection.
If Johnson has a flaw now, his in-game sense of flow may not be as good as when I covered his '96-97 Orioles. I can't prove it, and I may just be wrong. But the Nats wasted an 8-0 lead after four innings in 2011 and a 9-0 squander after five in 2012. Both times, the Nats' odds of winning (per baseball-reference.com) rounded off to 100 percent. That can't happen. And it may have planted doubt for Game 5 against the Cardinals. Johnson made no outright blunders that night, just hard justifiable decisions, but both he and the Nats may have questions to answer to themselves about "finishing."
If Davey is as good as, or better than, ever, how can he retire? He has roots throughout baseball. Come on, Jack McKeon came out of retirement at 72 to win the '03 World Series. Teams will try to hire Johnson for several years.
"I know it," Johnson said.
The British writer E.C. Bentley once wrote of a financial buccaneer who aged into a Wall Street eminence: "Now and then the pirate would suddenly glare out, the knife in his teeth and the sulfur matches sputtering in his hatband."
Will Davey be tempted back by another team for more spoils of the Main?
"This is it," Johnson said. "Most people believe in destiny or whatever. I really did start off [as a batboy] for the old Senators in spring training. It all seems so much like a 'full circle.'
"This feels like fate."

Grilled Portabella Carpaccio Bruschetta
Get Ready
Servings: Serves 2 to 16
Cook Time: 12 minutes
Prep Time: 38 minutes
Grilled Portabella Carpaccio Bruschetta
4 teaspoon Extra virgin olive oil
4 teaspoon Fresh lemon juice
1/2 whole Garlic cloves, peeled and minced
1/4 teaspoon Hannaford Inspirations Honey Mustard
1/8 teaspoon Salt
1/16 teaspoon Black pepper
4 oz Fresh portabella mushrooms, stems removed
1/2 lb Hannaford Inspirations French Demi baguette10 1/2" long
11/2 teaspoon Grated Asiago cheese
11/2 teaspoon Fresh flat leaf parsley, finely chopped
1. Prepare grill.
2. For the mushroom marinade, combine first listed amount of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, mustard, salt, and black pepper in a medium bowl. Mix well.
3. Lay mushrooms on a flat pan and pour marinade over them. Gently toss mushrooms to coat completely, using a brush if necessary.
4. Carefully place mushrooms on the hot grill, top-side down. Grill for about 4 minutes, then gently turn and grill another 3 minutes. Move mushrooms to the cooler part of the grill so they will cook a bit more slowly and turn them top-side down again. Let cook for another 4 minutes. Mushrooms will darken and shrink as they finish. Remove from grill and let sit for about 20 minutes or until they're room temperature. Mushrooms will give off a fair amount of liquid during cooling.
5. With a very sharp knife, slice the mushrooms very thinly, at a slight angle.
6. Slice the baguettes into 1/2-inch slices and place on grill for about a minute. Place two to three mushroom slices on each slice of bread. Transfer the slices to a platter. Drizzle second listed amount of olive oil over the mushrooms. Sprinkle with the Asiago cheese and the flat-leaf parsley. To finish, add a few grindings of black pepper.

Category: Cleaning Kit
Works With: iMac, MacBook
Price: £19.95 ($33.38)
Chalk it up to the state of modern life if you want — where we're much more comfortable looking at an iPhone screen than building fires and hunting wild animals — but there's something undeniably manly about the idea of cleaning your iMac with something called a Screen Cleaning Blade.
Okay, so things get less rugged individualist when you hear that this is a scented, anti-bacterial Screen Cleaning Blade, and still less so when you hear that it features a "vibrant satin finish" — but, hey, at least it's something, right? Coming packaged with another cleaner designed for your keyboard (the Keyboard Blade?), these two handy gadgets promise to keep your Apple products looking as shiny as the day you first unboxed them.
So do they live up to their word?

Would there be a way of scheduling events so that they dont appear on the website until after a specified date?
Sorry about asking for too much up front :\
I updated the CalendarEventClass
class CalendarEvent extends Page
static $db = array (
'ActivationDate' => 'Date'
I'm having problems finding out what the syntax would be to compare this field with the current date. I've narrowed it down to modifying Calendar.ss about here
<% if Events %>
<div id="events">
<% control Events %>
I thought of encapsulating the remainder of the control block into something like
<% if $ActivationDate < time() %>
<% end_if %>
It doesn't work. heh.
Can anyone tell me the correct syntax please?
Still trying to understand this code ...
In the file Calendar.php there's protected members $start_date and $end_date that appear global to the class. There's also a function 'Events' which the template file is 'control'-ing to display the list of event on the website. The function 'Events' takes a bunch of arguments, including the variables $start_date and $end_date. Why is that ? Are these new $start_date and $end_date variables?
Shouldn't the function 'Events' naturally have access to these variables ?
Well, I've given up trying to accomplish the date activation that way.
Does anyone (apart from unclechee$e) know how to add another date to the Dates and Times tab of the CMS?

Free paint is available for community restoration projects
For the 14th consecutive year, the Northwest Minnesota Foundation has announced the availability of free paint for community fix-up and restoration projects.
In partnership with the Valspar Corporation and the Minnesota Beautiful Picture-It-Painted Program, help will be given to towns and organizations to obtain the paint and other coating materials required for selected projects.
"Over the years, visual improvements all around the region have resulted from The Picture-It-Painted Program. Literally thousands of gallons of paint have been given for a wide range of projects," said Nancy Vyskocil, NMF president. "We're pleased to be working with Valspar once again to help bring the Minnesota Beautiful project to our communities."
Free paint will be made available by NMF and Valspar in support of projects that best meet certain eligibility criteria. Selection will be based on the visual impact of the proposed projects, potential advantages to the public, volunteer participation and support, current and/or intended use of the structure to be refurbished, and benefits to those in need.
Qualifying projects might include, but are not limited to, those involving historic structures, senior citizen and community centers, facilities for the disabled, publicly owned buildings, and murals or other visual-impact designs. Projects that would not qualify include those involving denominational churches, city maintenance, private properties or school projects (except for murals).
Picture-It-Painted applications are due by March 7. Awards will be announced March 28. Applications are available at www.nwmf.org, or by calling NMF at 759-2057 or 800-659-7859.
"Many towns and organizations will compete for this chance to renew or preserve a community asset," Vyskocil said. "We encourage all applications and appreciate the spirit shown for the projects."
The Northwest Minnesota Foundation invests resources, creates opportunities and promotes philanthropy to make the region a better place to live and work.
