ATLANTA - Regulators on Tuesday ordered AT&T Corp. to pay the state $100,000 and give prepaid phone cards to Georgia National Guardsmen deployed overseas because the company mistakenly added a charge to thousands of phone bills last year.
AT&T (NYSE: T) implemented the $3.95 a month charge in January of last year to customers of the long distance carrier's basic rate plan. But nearly 47,400 Georgians, including more than 35,000 who were not AT&T customers, also received the charge on their bills even though they were not supposed to, the company reported to the state Public Service Commission.
Though AT&T says it corrected the billing problem, which affected up to a million customers nationwide, and has made steps to avoid a similar mistake in the future, the PSC worked out a consent agreement with the company to put some of the safeguards in writing.
"I think once AT&T became aware of the problem, they didn't put up too much of a fuss," Public Service Commissioner Bobby Baker said. "They acknowledged they had done wrong, and they worked it out with (PSC) staff."
The commission received 249 complaints about the fees last year.
Some people alleged that they received the charge even though they did not use AT&T for long-distance phone service. Other complained that when they contacted company representatives, they were told the charges would be removed only if they switched over to AT&T for service.
The most someone would have paid in the unauthorized charges was $51.52 before the billing problems were fixed, according to the company.
The settlement allows the company to resolve the issue without having to legally admit wrongdoing.
"The company confirms it has completed the work of correcting its systems and coding errors that caused the incorrect billing and that the erroneously billed consumers have now received refunds or had their accounts credited," the company said in a written statement Tuesday.
AT&T also sent out apology letters to people who were affected along with the refunds and bill credits that totaled more than $180,000.
On top of the $100,000 fine AT&T will pay to the state, it also has to give the PSC 2,700 prepaid phone cards for the commission to distribute to Georgia National Guardsmen in Iraq and Afghanistan.
In the next two months, AT&T also has to send out notices to Georgians who do pay the monthly charge because they subscribe to the company's basic rate plan. The notice has to outline what the charge is as well as how to make a report if they think they are not suppose receive the fee.
The PSC will check back in to see if any other consumers are found who were affected by the billing error and if they were properly refunded.

Every teacher struggles with organization from time to time and the challenge of keeping everything under control—from supplies to paperwork to students. And every teacher knows that even the best lesson or greatest instructional skills will not help if kids act out, the glue stick goes missing, or transition time turns into the Wild West.
The good news is that any teacher can get it together and keep it together, even those who are not blessed with natural organizing skills. While managing clutter and setting up bins is part of it, as important is laying a foundation of rules, routines, and procedures that convey to students in no uncertain terms that excellence is expected.
The Elephant in the (Disorderly) Room
We hear teachers say all the time: There's simply not enough hours in the day. I have too many students to teach. That misbehaving student is wrecking my day. It's around here somewhere—give me a minute. Complaints like these are as old as the teaching profession itself. But a closer look may reveal an underlying problem—a failure to organize.
A chaotic classroom wastes precious time, causes stress and frustration, sets a poor example for students, and distracts them from learning, especially those with attention challenges. A well-organized classroom practically runs itself and it isn't all that difficult to set up. But it does require some thought and effort.
On the Road to Organization: 6 Big Ideas
Getting organized boils down to the consistent use of a handful of simple strategies. Let's take a look at how to implement six of the most important:
1. Establish Rules: Setting behavior and organizational expectations early is essential to year-long success. Rules should be set the moment a child enters the classroom at the start of the year and reinforced throughout the year as necessary. They should eliminate any doubt as to how students should enter the room, what they should do immediately, how they should pull out and put away materials and supplies—every behavior that left unaddressed can cause a ruckus.
2. Set Up Routines: Students crave predictability, especially special needs students. Teachers who are able to plan, establish, and enforce daily classroom routines are better able to head off misbehavior, reduce anxiety, and improve the learning experience. Routines can help students navigate the uncertainty of a variety of situations—such as transitioning from room to recess, turning in homework, walking in line, and breaking into groups. Rules calm and focus students who might otherwise feel scattered and distracted.
3. Engage Students: The key to managing a classroom of diverse students is to engage students immediately and keep them engaged. A bored student is more likely to misbehave and send the whole class into a tail spin. Lessons that are appealing and student-centered and materials that are ready-to-use contribute to the impression that learning should be enjoyable.
4. Positively Reinforce. Praise is an effective behavior management tool, but one that is often neglected. A specific, sincere, and timely comment like "Way to go" or "That's the way to share" can be used to build good behavior and phased out as it becomes a habit. Although students may not be consciously aware of it, praise is a super motivator.
5. Enforce Consequences. Students will not always follow the rules. Teachers must realize this and be on top of things with a plan. There will be slip ups and teachers must be prepared to apply consequences—from removal from an activity to isolation to a parent-teacher conference.
6. Manage the Physical Environment. How will the room be set up? What about flow? Can all students be seen at all times? What's the best way to group students to keep them engaged? If teachers properly set up and organize their rooms from their start, they won't have to do it again for the rest of the school year.
Classroom management and organization are intertwined. Together they lay the foundation for a learning culture that everyone—students and teachers—will enjoy and benefit from.

text: Hi Stuart. Thanks for your advice about thunk, though I do not understand *thunk* very well. Is there any other discriptions about thunk ? I have tried the *seq* operation. When input is 10,000,000, the memory still "leak", and there is still a "stack overflow". I changed some mapM_ to sequence . map f, and tried to save some division. The key functions now looks like this: proportions n = unsafePerformIO $ do arr <- newArray (2,n) (False,1/1) :: Fractional t => IO (IOArray Int (Bool,t)) sequence_ $ map (sieve arr n) [2..n] factors <- getElems arr return . map (\(n,(b,f)) -> (f,n)) $ zip [2..n] factors where sieve arr ubound p = do (b,o) <- readArray arr p if b then return () else sequence_ . map (update arr (toRational p)) . takeWhile (<=ubound) $ iterate (+p) p update arr p i = do (_,o) <- readArray arr i --writeArray arr i (True,o*(p-1)/p) let val = o * p / (p-1) val `seq` return () -- force the thunk writeArray arr i (True, val) solutionOf = snd . minimum . filter (\(f,n) -> isPerm (floor $ toRational n/f) n) . proportions ------------------ L.Guo 2007-09-15

Long before Street Fighter II and Soul Calibur, there was another fighting game that had me captivated. Yie Ar Kung-Fu came to arcades in 1985 and was unlike anything before it. For the first time, women were showcased in a fighting game and almost every villain sported a unique weapon. With eight directions for attacks and past-paced action, Yie Ar Kung-Fu showed the possibilities for fighting games of the future. But while some games (such as Street Fighter II) prove to be timeless, Yie Ar hasn't aged well at all. In fact, it's a pretty awful arcade title, proving that not every piece of nostalgia needs to be brought to XBLA.
Yie Ar Kung-Fu is a 2D fighter that lacks competitive play. In place of competing directly against another player, gamers fight a series of colorful characters. Each character uses a different weapon to challenge and/or frustrate gamers. The characters have clever names, such as Star (she throws ninja stars), Club (guess what he fights with), and Chain (he's chunky). All of these names are superior to the main hero, Oolong, who is named for the tea he drinks before whoopin' ass.
Combat is very simple. Just press in any direction on the D-Pad and either punch or kick for single attacks. At the time of its release, the idea of having eight directions for an attack was pretty thrilling. More than 20 years later, the combat is slow and pedestrian. The predictable attacks from AI enemies that were once charming are now boring. The AI is meager and many battles can be one with a few lucky shots up close.
A new and inventive multiplayer could have saved Yie Ar Kung-Fu. Instead, developer Digital Eclipse decided to bring its B game to the table. Rather than opening up control of the different bosses for a competitive fight, the online multiplayer is instead a disappointing contest to see who can last longer in the arcade mode. Competitive play is just you and another player tackling the game at the same time and seeing who can score the most points and survive longest. It's pretty pointless. The co-operative mode is just an online hot potato attempt to beat a path through the AI opponents. That's good only for gamers not skilled enough to take on harder enemies and needing a competent friend to lend an assist. As a complement to a head-to-head online mode, that would be cool, but having it used instead of a true competitive mode is a copout.
I was thrilled to learn Yie Ar Kung-Fu was coming to XBLA. This is a game I treasured as a kid. I was certain it would stand the test of time. It turns out that sentimentality and nostalgia had clouded my memories. Yie Ar Kung-Fu is a game lost to time. It's outdated and no longer enjoyable. It's worth a few quarters in an arcade cabinet, but not worth $5 on Xbox Live Marketplace.

Cover: Embryos of the annual killifish Austrofundulus limnaeus experience anoxia as a normal part of their developmental environment while encased in pond sediments and as a result of their mechanism for surviving dehydrating conditions. Anoxia tolerance varies over embryonic development, with the most tolerant stages surviving over 100 days without oxygen at 25°C. Small noncoding RNAs (sncRNA), in particular mitochondria tRNA-derived fragments, are highly differentially expressed in the embryos in response to anoxia and aerobic recovery. Expression of tRNA-derived fragments is positively correlated with anoxia tolerance. The middle panel of the image is an acrylic painting by Claire Riggsdepicting a larval annual killifish spanning three different backgrounds. The backgrounds, from top to bottom, illustrate the dried cracked mud habitat, cells, and a close-up of the head of an embryo. This painting emphasizes the importance of organismal and cellular physiology
in supporting survival of annual killifish in their seasonal habitat. Cellular physiology, particularly at the level of sncRNAs, is the focus of the featured research article. For details see Riggs CL, Podrabsky JE. Small noncoding RNA expression during extreme anoxia tolerance of annual killifish (Austrofundulus limnaeus) embryos.

Siliguri, May 16: The Bengal governments inability to provide adequate security to Union minister Jairam Ramesh has put a question mark on the reopening of the closed Surendranagar Tea Estate.
The Dooars garden, which has been closed since 2004, was scheduled to start operations in the presence of Ramesh and estate owner Rabin Paul. It would be the first of six such gardens that were identified for reopening at a Tea Board meeting, convened on May 11 by the Union minister.
I was to reach Jalpaiguri on May 17. All arrangements had been made. But at 5.30 pm on May 15, I was informed by the Tea Board chairman that the chief secretary of West Bengal had called him to request me to postpone my visit to Jalpaiguri, reads the press statement issued by Ramesh in New Delhi today. The chief secretary said the state government apprehends trouble and that the presence of the owner along with me could create law and order problems. In deference to this request from the state government, conveyed by Amit Kiran Deb, I have accordingly put off my visit to Jalpaiguri for the reopening of Surendranagar tea estate for the time being, it added.
The ministers failure to make it to the garden to the garden tomorrow, however, has failed to deter Paul, who has decided to go ahead with the reopening.
Although I myself will not go to the garden tomorrow, I have already arranged for rations to be distributed among the permanent workers of the garden. I have also issued a letter authorising Ramesh Lakra, posted at the Dharanipur tea estate at the moment, to act as manager for Surendranagar Tea Estate from tomorrow, said Paul here this evening. I am serious about running the garden and have instructed workers and employees to resume their work from tomorrow.
Most of the workers in the garden have reportedly decided to abide by Pauls instructions.
The workers of the garden have decided to join work from tomorrow and the green leaves they pick up will be delivered to the owners office, said Pradeep Mullick, a leader of the Intuc-backed National Union of Plantation Workers, that enjoys the support of a majority of the garden labourers. However, workers are apprehending trouble from Citu activists from the adjoining Red Bank Tea Estate (also owned by Paul), who control the operations and maintenance committee in Surendranagar.
In another development today, members of Nagarik Mancha, a social rights group from Calcutta, and some human rights activists alleged that a section of residents of the closed Samsing tea estate were trying to build a satellite township in the garden on the lines of Chandmoni Tea Estate here.

#CAASports WLAX Report — April 23
Apr 23, 2014, 5:04 PM EST
Good goalkeeping is hard to come find. It's often a position that gets easily overlooked, especially in today's women's lacrosse game, dictated by high-flying offense and quick scoring systems.
Full Weekly CAA WLAX Report — April 23
This week's CAA women's lacrosse DPOTW, not surprisingly, is a goalie. Schylar Healy of James Madison earned the honor, becoming the only CAA netminder to earn the award twice this season. Healy played in all 120 total minutes of play over two Dukes' wins, both coming in 17-7 fashion over Drexel and Hofstra. Madison enters the CAA Championship as the No. 2 overall seed and will face Delaware in semifinal number two on Friday, May 2.
Healy, a junior, has played and started all 16 games for JMU this season, making 128 saves for a .444 save percentage.
Healy's teammate Stephanie Finley was a force on the other side of the ball for JMU last week, netting five goals and dishing out one helper. Even more telling? Finley grabbed eight total draw controls and now owns 57 on the season, good for a new program single-year record. That proved to be enough to warrant Finley's recognition for POTW.
Last, and not least, this week's rookie nod went to a player who helped her squad win their first and only league win of the season. Abby Junior of William & Mary won the honor after collecting three ground balls, three draw controls and three caused turnovers, all coming if a 11-10 double-OT win over Drexel at home last Sunday. The Tribe close out their season in non-conference versus ODU.
William & Mary's big win also helped produce the weekly #CAASports WLAX Tweet of the Week seen below.
The full CAA Championship field will be determined on Saturday, with the victor of Hofstra at Drexel coming in with the No. 4 seed. That team will play top-seeded Towson on Friday, May 2 in the first semifinal.

CGG now offers cloud-based data management, along with more flexible data storage at lower cost for companies that want to reduce the complexity of managing their infrastructure. CGG selected Microsoft Azure as its new platform to host a range of data applications and services for clients, and as a center for data storage. The new platform offers several important advantages for CGG clients.
Specified and managed by CGG, the environment is based on the latest technology from Microsoft, a company committed to ongoing investment in the Azure service.
Azure's "pay for what you use" environment means that the domain can be changed and scaled to meet client needs and changing business demands. CAPEX budget approval is no longer needed. Ordering or implementation timescales and other delays typical with IT hardware projects are avoided.
Three copies of the data are stored within the data center so if one copy is corrupted, two more are available. This protects the data and improves speed of access. This resilience is significantly greater than typically offered by traditional data centers owned by clients or 3rd parties.
Three copies are stored at another Azure data center at least 500 km away. CGG holds a copy of the application setup on its own servers, enabling speedy recovery if a major incident occurs.
Additional redundancy is not needed when a client stores a data copy for backup purposes with CGG, this reduces the cost even further.
Azure hosts all of Microsoft's products and services and well as those of its business and consumer clients.
The security is based on two principles:
Trustworthy environment
Assume a breach
The Trustworthy environment is based on decades of hosting and storing data securely by one of the world's largest IT companies. This is supported by adherence to certain industry and government standards. Firewalls, 24-hour monitoring, ethical hackers and a range of proactive services constantly improve and monitor security. Attacks trigger a forensic process, irrespective of whether a breach occurs.
A "Sony style" hacking incident could have catastrophic consequences to Microsoft. Thus, security paramount to Microsoft's business, and their commitment and strong investment creates a trustworthy environment.
CGG uses the IaaS product from Azure. This means that CGG creates its own Virtual Machine environment to which Microsoft engineers have access sufficient only for required support and maintenance, and all such work and access is logged and reported. Microsoft engineers have no access to clients' data or applications.
The environment is both secure and private. Data is accessed with only permission through the application, and only the CGG data management technology team and the client have access to the application.
The cloud provides significant opportunities include reliable security, fewer delays, and greater flexibility.
Data audit, clean-up and QC projects can use the cloud, and then data can be moved back to the client's chosen environment. This significantly reduces the costs and timescale associated with such projects.
The future is even brighter. CGG is tackling a range of big data and analytics projects aimed at automating the cataloging of E&P data, both structured and unstructured. This will enable even more advanced analytics on clients' full data sets.

If You're Thinking of Living In/Back-Country Greenwich; Winding Roads and Deep Pockets
By ELEANOR CHARLES
Published: February 19, 1995
THE farmers and shoemakers who settled the lonely northern reaches of Greenwich in the 18th and early 19th centuries would be astounded to see what has become of their neighborhood.
Renowned as one of America's most prestigious addresses, the back country of this Connecticut Gold Coast community is not for everyone who is rich. Families of highly placed executives who traditionally shun publicity gravitate to its silent woods and quiet, winding roads, while celebrities tend to prefer the waterfront and a livelier atmosphere.
As a recent example, the television and sports personalities Kathie Lee and Frank Gifford recently moved from the back country to a waterfront location.
The legendary great estates are investments that hold their value in recessions and appreciate when times are good. But other back-country homes are equally resilient, whether they are antique farmhouses expanded into handsome residences, large homes on the minimum four-acre lots, or modest houses in the Banksville section on the New York State border.
The term great estates is reserved for exceptional homes on the shore, in the mid-country and the back country. The latter covers an area bounded by the Merritt Parkway to the south, Westchester County to the west and north, and Stamford to the east.
Among the most famous of the back country's 13 great estates is Dunnellen Hall, currently owned by Leona and Harry Helmsley. Completed in 1918, it was built for Daniel Grey Reid, a New York financier, as a gift for his daughter, Rhea, and her husband, Henry J. Topping, son of the president of Republic Steel.
Situated at one time on 208 acres, the 28-room Elizabethan mansion had additional accommodations for 23 servants. The lake was stocked with perch and black bass, and there was an eight-car garage, stables, pool, tennis court, greenhouse, a working farm and specimen gardens.
It was used to advantage by the Toppings' sons, who entertained lavishly and enjoyed the company of movie stars. Don and Henry Jr. each married the actress Arlene Judge, at different times of course; Don was also married to Sonja Henie, and Henry Jr. was wed to Lana Turner.
It usually takes a year or more for estates to be sold because the market is obviously limited and the owners can afford to wait for the right buyer. The Nuckols Estate, for example, on 14 acres, is for sale at $18 million, the highest current price on the market.
"It is seldom shown," said Linda Hodge, vice president of Preferred Properties of Greenwich, a company that specializes in marketing high-priced homes. "The price reflects the value of scarce prime land close to New York," she said.
THERE are no restaurants or shops except in Banksville, where a tannery once served a shoemaking cottage industry. But the Uptown Deli and Finch's serve breakfast and lunch to people who work on the estates, and an IGA market, dry cleaner, pharmacy and hardware store are patronized by area residents.
There is also a general store on Round Hill Road opposite the firehouse. The firehouse, which is home base for about 20 volunteer firefighters, and its equipment are maintained by a $5,000 annual stipend from the town and major contributions from the wealthy residents it serves.
An open house fund-raiser is held there each October when children are given rides on the fire engines.
Brad Hvolbeck, owner of Prudential Hvolbeck Real Estate, sold a 3,800-square-foot house on one acre in Banksville this year for $525,000.
Almost half of back-country children attend private schools, two of which are located in the area. The Whitby Montessori School enrolls children from 1 year old through the eighth grade, with annual tuition ranging from $7,250 to $11,250. The Convent of the Sacred Heart accepts children of all faiths from age 3 through 12th grade. Tuition is $6,000 to $13,900.
The only public school in the area is Parkway Elementary School, where the curriculum includes art, music, science, physical education and a computer lab, all in separately equipped rooms.
CHILDREN maintain their own word-processing files and write stories that are published in the school newspaper or adapted into dance, drama, art or choral music. Almost 300 pupils in kindergarten through the fifth grade are bused for 15 to 40 minutes each way depending on where they live.
"They are not only from wealthy homes," said Dr. Sandra Mond, the principal, "but from families of stable grooms and housekeepers who live on the estates."
The Convent of the Sacred Heart is in the main house of what was once Overlook Farm, built in 1916. It is typical of several conversions of back-country estates in recent years. Together with zoning laws that allow homes to be built on 2-acre lots provided that 40 percent of the total property is dedicated to open space, conversions signal a significant departure from the otherwise rigidly enforced four-acre minimum single family zoning.

In the length and breadth of our work, we sometimes come across children whose parents aren't involved actively in their deaf child's well-being and education. This happens for a multitude of reasons. It could be because of the loss of hope that comes with the fact that their child is disabled, the lack of time […]Read More

Iman Rappetti talks future plans after leaving ENCA
"You know news is an organism, it lives, it sparks legs, and it becomes an alien sometimes. You just respond to it in the moment."
This is coming from seasoned broadcast journalist Iman Rappetti, whilst we are talking on the phone.
We are discussing how she gracefully handled earth tremors while live on TV during a recent broadcast.
Rappetti has decided to leave eNCA after 11 years to focus on family life. However, her fans will still have a chance to catch up with her on radio. She has a radio show weekdays between 9am -12pm on Power FM.
"I got to a point in my life where my children need me. I need to be more visible and more present with them and so I've been on Power FM for close to three years now and I really love it," she explains.
"I'm fortunate to be in a place where they want to retain my talent. It's also at the perfect time of the day where the end of my work day coincides with my child finishing school. I drop her off at school and I can meet her in the afternoon."
Rappetti's illustrious journalism career dates back to her first permanent job in Iran in 1997 where she used to host a weekly current affairs show called Forum. Upon returning to South Africa in the year 2000, she hoped to make her broadcast debut in a grand manner.
However she received a rude awakening. She ended up having to settle for an SABC online spot after applying for a TV job on etv with no reply. After the SABC, Rappetti had a stint at Business Day and Talk Radio 702 before eventually making her way to eNCA.
Her appeal as an anchor and journalist is due to her outstanding work ethic and attitude. She states that the beginning of her journey at eNCA was a 'baptism of fire'. She joined the broadcaster during an election year and when President Jacob Zuma's rape trial had just started. She handled it all within her stride.
"With news you can't go in there with the attitude that you are in the theatre and you're the star player. Your journalism chops are always with you. You are always a journalist, whether you are an anchor or whatever. That is kind of in my DNA," she points out.
eNCA on Twitter
And that's a wrap for @ImanRappetti at eNCA. We put together a little video of some of her highlights... #GoodbyeIman and thank you! https://t.co/URjktG6bec
Future Plans
The future certainly looks promising for Rappetti. She is going to be staying on at Power FM and hints that she will be 'playing a big role'. She also has a book and a television project in the pipeline.
Although she opted not to give too much away on the book, she did reveal that the book will be her memoirs. She wants to start a television talk show as well.
"I want it to be crazy, funny and serious'' she says on her talk show.
She's also not closing the door totally on eNCA, she remarked that people might still see her on the channel for special events as her association with the broadcaster was definitely going to continue.
On the state of our country
It seemed natural to ask the seasoned journalist her thoughts on our country's current political state. Rappetti remarked that there is almost a "prescriptive aura" in the country. People seem torn in two opposite directions and maybe with the right information they will be able to navigate forward.
"For me as media practitioner [we need to give] good trustworthy information. We need to give people information that allows them to make up their own minds. We can't make up people's minds," she says
"We need to let them know what the landscape is with the best analysis and best credible information. Lastly, allow them to have access to that and what they want to do."
The Phoenix, Kwa-Zulu Natal, native also expressed that the country needed to figure out what its greatest need is.
"All the big national debates which are centred around populist politics, the questions we have to ask ourselves is what is in it for my neighbour? What is in it for my mom's neighbour who still lives in a poor community? We might have grown up and moved to Jo'burg but a lot of the communities we come from are still stuck in the past in terms of access to opportunity," she says.

MEGA DEATHTAG - Even More Revolutionary Team Play
MEGA DEATHTAG - Even More Revolutionary Team Play
WAD Type
Read Me
================================================================= Title : MEGA DEATHTAG - Even More Revolutionary Team Play for Doom ][ Filename : MTAG.WAD Authors : Original/Ultimate Deathtag: Talon and Aikman Mega Deathtag: Demon Eater Email Addresses : Talon : <email removed> Aikman : <email removed> Demon : <email removed> Description : Totally new team game that works within Doom ]['s current architecture. Deathtag requires that a team score 5 points (score is tallied WITHIN the map), and once a team scores 5 points, you will then have access to the final point (The Flag). READ RULES.TXT for a clear understanding of how to play this level. I built this because having the rad suit and the switch for the other fort in different rooms SUCKED. There were other things, too. Like no BFG/Plasma in Skill 4, those damn jumps across the ooze, no beserk pack (fun!), the 4-4 tie to get megasphere almost never happens with average players, and also the level was a bit dark (no light changes, but there is a light-amp). The original Deathtag was better, but didn't have the Flag and some of the other stuff. This is a hybrid, with some new ideas. Additional Credits to : Nameless and Salmon, for all their ideas on improving the play from Ultimate Deathtag (although many were discarded as BS, some of their ideas are in here). Thanks to the playtesters Charlie, Grean'se Lightning, and AceJas, too All the guys at id for making this AWESOME game, even though we had to stretch the limits a bit. MegaSphere, for providing the most awesome multi- player server in Indiana! (hey, DWANGO is 20 bucks just to log on, MegaSphere has VERY reasonable pricing, 40 cents an hour in most cases). ================================================================ * Play Information * Level # : MAP01 Single Player : NO! Cooperative 2-4 Player : NO! Deathmatch 2-4 Player : NO! (See next line!) Deathtag 4-Player : YES!!! Difficulty Settings : Nope New Sounds : Yes New Graphics : Yes New Music : Yes Demos Replaced : One * Construction * Base : Deathtag (DETHTAG.WAD) and Ultimate Deathtag (U_DTAG.WAD) Editor(s) used : DCK 2.2, DEU II 1.0, LVIEW Pro Build Time : About 5 hours Known Bugs : None Demo info : I'm not perfectly happy with it. There were two pauses (I tried to get them not to pause it, but they did), one when we were sorting out who's who, and the other when Red fell in a pit. I tried to remove them with COOLMP, but it went crazy. Also, there are many idle moments as I wait for my partner Brown to hit the switch, although he had his hands full. Score was 6-0, teams were Green (me, who's eyes you will be looking through) and Brown (Red Team), and Indigo and Red (Blue Team). * Copyright / Permissions * Do whatever you want. But please, be careful where you upload it. Aikman and Talon (the original authors) said in their copyright section that you may only build a Deathtag level from scratch, not from theirs. So please be careful where you upload this, or I might get my butt fried. Thanks. * Where to get this WAD * MegaSphere BBS: (317) 273-9666

Yesterday was an unusual day. It started with the red army arriving unexpectedly ontime, corresponding perfectly with the full moon, and then spending an hour or so reading while Gabe played at the park. Starhawk's Earth Path is a book I just pick up and start reading randomly, never getting the same place twice yet. It was good to sink my mental teeth into that kind of reading, it's been too long, and her writing just makes so much sense. For me the constant struggle is between living both outside and inside, trying to be both political and spiritual, but not at the same time, trying not to be too 'hippie dippie' as a new friend describes it, but at the same time being true to myself and how I feel/percieve the world around me. My reverence for the sun, for wind in the trees, for toes in the ocean, for hands in the dirt, isn't faked or put on for people around me; it IS ME but it's something that I hide. People don't like it when you get spiritual around them, and no, it doesn't matter what kind of spirituality I'm talking about; we (as a culture) are awkward around faith. There's a stigma that those with faith are unthinking automatons, or rabid fundamentalists, or against science and education. Yes, there's some out there of all faiths like that, but it's a small (vocal) fringe element. Most Pagans and witches I know are pro-science as it helps to understand the sacred living systems around us. Science and education don't take anything away from our rituals and ceremonies, they only add to it. Our deities exist comfortably alongside the periodic table of elements or Newton's theories. Science can't explain everything yet, and for the rest, we have the Mysteries.
So after an afternoon of reading in some lovely shade while the breeze whipped about and kept us all cool at the park, I made dinner and then hurried off to an esbat. An esbat is a Wiccan full-moon ceremony. (Note: Not all Pagans are Wiccans, but all Wiccans are Pagan.) Many cultures and faiths practise some sort of full-moon ceremony, (I've been to a Ojibway Mide ceremony) but this was the first time I'd ever been to an actual Wiccan ritual. We met at dusk down by the ocean on the edge of a quiet lagoon with the moon rising out of a darkening sky, a great white pearl in the blackness. We moved opening to close without any interruptions or disruptions, following a guided meditation focused on Beauty as the main 'event'. We complimented each other and then had our minds blown, yes collectively, as the High Priestess shared that we can only give compliments if we have the quality we see in the other person in ourselves first. It's like it says in the Charge: And you who seek to know Me, know that the seeking and yearning will avail you not, unless you know the Mystery: for if that which you seek, you find not within yourself, you will never find it without."
We *know* that, most of us gathered last night, we read it and recite it but to have it said, pointed out, hit over the head with it while in circle, while still in that place between times and places, it finally hit home fully and completely. I could see it on the faces of those I was with, faces illuminated by the grace of the full moon. This also means when we recognize something we dislike in another, we see it because it resides in us as well. I think this has deep implications for fat acceptance and how we can move forward; the root of fat hate is noone wants to be like us, to be hated for being who we are, to be ostracized for something we can't control. It's why the prejudice of being fat, or disabled, or old, or poor, is so strong and deeply rooted. Deep down, people know that you can't control your weight, not entirely, just like you can't control having an accident and suddenly becoming disabled, or losing your job and suddenly become poor. It's fear, and loathing, rooted in their own minds and hearts, that they project on what they can see.
I'm being dragged off from my computer now, unfortunately, so the rest will have to wait for another day.

Despite enjoying visiting different farming systems in New Zealand for the past month, 41 students from the University of Nebraska have yet to develop a taste for Vegemite, tour leader and animal science professor Steven Jones says.
The tour, which is held every two years, is the fifth organised jointly by Lincoln University and Nebraska University. It is for mainly second- and third-year agricultural students.
Professor Jones said the students, who had a range of agricultural backgrounds, were studying various disciplines including agri-economics, agronomy, ecology, land and farm management, animal and food science and agri-education.
''They are aged between 18 and 24 and this is by the far the biggest group we have had,'' Professor Jones said.
''We have been on the West Coast and seen several farms around Canterbury.
''We also went down to Te Anau to the Landcorp's Stuart Farm, and also visited some meat works.''
They also visited Rex and Audrey Stevenson, of Glenkylie Farms, also near Te Anau.
''Some of the students had never left Nebraska before and now they are getting a good appreciation of international agriculture.
''We have also had some fun and went on a boat trip to Milford Sound, got to jump out of an aeroplane and jump off a cliff with rubber bands on our feet.''
He said for some what they had seen on the tour was a ''life-changing experience''.
''Some are altering career plans to include more international agriculture than before they went on tour.''
He said several had asked about internships within New Zealand.
''Many would love to come back.
''They have enjoyed the hospitality they received here but have not yet developed a liking for Vegemite.
''I don't know if they ever will.''

Optimism IV - Dealing with Fear Effectively
To eliminate fear and regain control, you must experience your fears and see how they limit you. Then you need to take steps to counteract those fears, control your anxiety, and move forward once again.
Positive thoughts are powerful.
- You can visualize your treament success.
- When you can imagine the way you really want your life to be, you vastly improve your chances of actually achieving your goal.
- Visualizing predicts success and motivates you to reach for the real thing.
- Visualizing trains you to think and act positively, to say "I can beat cancer!" and "I will get better!" instead of "I can't" or "I'll never."
- Visualizing helps you push through fear so that you stop looking at the worst possibilities and focus instead on good things in your life - what life will be like when you recover.

Using Adobe CS5 to Create Websites and Apps for Mobile & Tablets
If you'd like to learn how to use Adobe's Creative Suite tools to easily and portably create websites and apps for tablets, smartphones, and mobile devices there's a new 2¼-hour course you'll be interested in…
Guru Paul Trani teaches an extensive free class with 18 video chapters that will take you step-by-step on how to create portable content that will run on both Apple iOS and Google Android devices with a wide variety of screen sizes using a single code base. Basic usage of HTML5 and CSS3 is covered, as well as how to bring in Adobe's recent additions PhoneGap (for building fast, cross-platform mobile applications) and Typekit (for delivering custom web fonts).
The first half of the video series employs Adobe Dreamweaver CS5.5 to develop both websites and apps, with steps on how to convert a website into a portable mobile app. The tutorials then move on to using Flash-based tools (with Adobe AIR) to build multi-platform mobile apps. We already know that Flash Professional CS5 can be used to build apps for the iPad and iPhone, but this takes it a step further. The videos guide you all the way through to how to publish your app to your device and to the Android Market (which shows immediately) or to the Apple App Store.
Adobe Photoshop Best Tips, Tricks, Techniques, Training & Tutorials
[UPDATE (October 2012) – Looking for CS6 tutorials? Check out this Photoshop CS6 primer, or 1,000 pages of free CS6 ebooks, or 30 hours of free CS6 videos.]
Adobe Photoshop is a sophisticated tool with a 21-year history and a seemingly-endless array of powerful capabilities. And after spending $549 for the product with discounts (or $199 for students), who wants to pay a lot more to learn how to use it all?
Fortunately there are a number of avenues to get great training and tutorials for free. The first stop is Adobe TV, which has nearly four hours and 37 chapters of 100% free tutorials for Photoshop CS5 alone. There is also a wealth of content for prior versions like Photoshop CS3 and CS4. It's a good place to get started and orient yourself with the major functions, and all of it is gratis.
For learning how to use the best new features added in Photoshop CS5, take a look at our collection of articles with tours of:
- Content-Aware Fill
- Puppet Warp
- Top Masking Techniques
- Creating Time-Lapse Videos
- Impressionist Oil Painting
We also have a regular page here on the site with a rotating selection of tuts for all versions of Photoshop, stepping through various tips and tricks. And for a terrific set of little-known but very handy techniques, check out Adobe's Photoshop "Hidden Gems" series with Product Manager Bryan O'Neil Hughes.
Photoshop CS5 Basic and Advanced Masking Techniques [Videos]
Knowing how to make a good mask is one of the most important things you can learn to do in Photoshop. With accurate masks you can completely control the placement and movement of all the elements of your image. The techniques shared in these videos will help you get the most out of the new masking capabilities in Photoshop CS5… And when you combine them with the new content-aware fill feature to magically fill backgrounds of moved or deleted objects, well then you've really got something.
The first video is a two-part playlist, New Masking Basics: Get up-to-speed with the great new masking tools and techniques in Photoshop CS5, to quickly and easily create professional quality masks, including a photograph with challenging hair.
The second video, to the right, also plays in two parts – New Advanced Masking: Learn some of Photoshop guru Russell Brown's favorite methods for masking out the background from a really difficult image.
The third and final video is Advanced Motion Blur Masking and Blending: This tutorial will get you through the toughest motion blur with flying colors… Also learn some advanced blending tips and techniques.
Free: 4 Hours of Video Tutorials for New Photoshop Elements 10 & 9
[UPDATE – Elements 11 is out! Get free tutorials for the new version.]
We've previously covered 17+ hours of free video tutorials for Creative Suite 5, plus three hours for Lightroom 3 – so here are some brand new training resources for the just-released Adobe Photoshop Elements 10… Most of these tutorials also apply to Photoshop Elements 9, which shares the same interface but just doesn't have as many features.
In these three courses the experts share how to get started, the basics of the software, new features, how to use key tools and functions, plus their favorite tips and techniques. In sum, there is over four hours of free content, with 46 separate chapters.
[ Bonus! Here also are 70 minutes of free tutorials for Premiere Elements 10 for taking care of your video. ]
If you need a copy of Photoshop or Premiere Elements 10 to get going right away, just download the free trial and it will work fully for 30 calendar days, which should be plenty of time to get through the classes.
If you prefer learning in written form, we've got the Adobe Photoshop Elements Guide – a free 95-page e-book you can download as well.
Adobe Sneaks New Video Features for Premiere Pro & After Effects
Last week Adobe revealed 11 sneak peek videos of technology they are working on but haven't released yet, and while Photoshop Image Deblurring and InDesign Liquid Layout got much of the attention, there were still some amazing developments in the video realm as well – and all three of those are covered below.
Naturally, Adobe says there are never any guarantees for what may or may not appear in a production release, or when… (maybe CS6?) But nevertheless, major new product features very often appear in these previews before they make the real tools (case in point, Content-Aware Fill).
Photoshop Image Deblurring: Adobe Proves Tech with New Photos
[UPDATE (April 2013) – Confirmed: Image Deblurring is coming soon in Photoshop!]
Here is the latest news on Photoshop Image Deblurring: In response to some of your questions here at ProDesignTools, we contacted Adobe and requested they help "bring into focus" the new Deblur feature that could be in a future Photoshop. We got in touch with Dr. Jue Wang, Adobe senior research scientist, and as a direct result his team has provided more examples of the technology using notable photographs. Most of these are well-known from history or come from independent sources, and thus began with natural camera blur.
For those just joining us on the story, here's a quick review: Earlier this month we ran a feature article on this "sneak peek" of an amazing new capability revealed at Adobe MAX. Several blurry photographs were processed through a new Photoshop plug-in to give before-and-after results that wowed the crowd, even more than the other popular sneak demos at the show. [See the full video in HD]
Why did controversy later arise? For the last brief image of his demonstration, intending to be entertaining and relevant to the audience, Dr. Wang used a photo of Adobe CTO Kevin Lynch that had been synthetically blurred. Creation of synthetic inputs is common practice across the research in this field, but out of simplicity, Dr. Wang did not go into those origins at the time.
The original sharp version was found online, and even though the other images came from real-world blur due to camera shake, this opened the door for some to raise questions about the efficacy of the developing technology. After we contacted them, Adobe added an update to their Photoshop.com blog post explaining why synthetic blurring was used for that example, but some skepticism remained.
InDesign CS6 Sneak Peek: Liquid Layout from Adobe MAX 2011
This very cool InDesign "sneak" comes fresh from the big Adobe MAX conference earlier this month… What's a sneak?
We've gone through the company and found the 11 coolest demos of technology that are at work within Adobe. These are things that are on the cutting edge of the technology. They may show up in a product, they may not. The demo may work, it may not. But this is your chance to get closer and really understand where we're going and what we're doing.
OK fair enough. Here's the set up:
"I want to show you some things we're thinking about on the InDesign Team. As you know, it's actually been about a year since we launched Digital Publishing Suite, and we've had fantastic traction in terms of getting great-looking content on tablet devices. So I have an iPad here and as you see I can turn it over and tilt it, let the accelerometer do its trick. We're actually seeing two different layouts here – two different layouts – which creates two different files. So designers actually have to create two separate InDesign files for this one device.
Photoshop Sneak Peek: Image Deblurring from Adobe MAX 2011
[UPDATE (April 2013) – Confirmed: Image Deblurring is coming soon in Photoshop!]
Can you imagine a new feature in Photoshop that could automatically deblur photographs to restore the originally-intended subject material to clarity and focus? Adobe can…
CS5.5 or CS6? New Adobe "Sneak Peek" Preview Videos Out
Similar to how they did before the launch of CS5, Adobe has been quietly slipping out a bevy of "sneaks" (now numbering 16 videos) for new features that may be in a forthcoming release of the Creative Suite…
"Check out what new technologies, features and innovations the Adobe product teams are working on behind the scenes. Stay tuned to get an early glimpse of what could be next from Adobe."
The products covered include: InDesign, Dreamweaver, After Effects, Premiere Pro, Audition, Adobe Story, Media Encoder, Flex, Flash Pro, Flash Builder and Flash Catalyst.
Given the recent news of a "mid-cycle release to CS5" (e.g., CS5.5), and a forecast for when CS6 could be out, one question might be in which future version might we see these new capabilities?
Well, Adobe tips their hand once again – because at the end of a couple of these videos they flash the graphic, "CS5 is Evolving: April 11th, 2011″……
Which says to us, you might expect some of these features soon, in fact you might expect more about them next week!
The company has scheduled a special session with Creative Suite Evangelists on Monday, and is tweeting: "CS5 is getting even better. Stay tuned to #Adobe.com on 4/11, and join this Q&A"

Gadhafi Stages Event to Show Libyan Tribal Unity
TRIPOLI, Libya—Hundreds of tribal leaders from government-controlled areas of Libya gathered under a giant tent here Thursday to call for an end to an armed uprising against Col. Moammar Gadhafi and aerial attacks by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization on his forces.
But what the government billed as a nationwide show of support drew only limited participation.

That Bandla Ganesh goes way out of control whenever speaking about Pawan Kalyan is a known thing, but what he was talking at the Katamarayudu pre-release function, takes the cake. Every time we think he can't outdo his past, Bandla Ganesh takes it a notch higher.
The way the producer behaves and looks publicity, with absolutely no offense meant, seems quite uneducated. But when we watch Bandla Ganesh's speech at the function, one is left wondering about the kind of quotes he brings up, all to make a "Godly" conclusion. If it is all memorized, then, that is surely a well put out act, without any doubt.
Check out the speech of Bandla Ganesh below. We can't explain it anymore, watch to realize the lengths the producer has gone just to praise a star.

Conference Call and Web Cast Information
NVIDIA will conduct a conference call with analysts and investors to discuss its fourth quarter fiscal 2008 financial results and current financial prospects today at 2:00 P.M. Pacific Time (5:00 P.M. Eastern Time). To listen to the call, please dial 212-231-2901; no password is required. A live Web cast (listen-only mode) of the conference call will be held at the NVIDIA investor relations Web site www.nvidia.com/investor and at http://www.streetevents.com. The Web cast will be recorded and available for replay until the Company's conference call to discuss its financial results for its first quarter fiscal 2009.
Non-GAAP Measures
To supplement the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income presented in accordance with GAAP, we use non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP diluted net income per share. In order for our investors to be better able to compare our current results with those of previous periods, we have shown a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures. These reconciliations adjust the related GAAP financial measures to exclude stock-based compensation, patent license fees for past usage, in-process research & development charges related to acquisitions, a non-recurring credit associated with the net cumulative impact of estimating forfeitures as a result of the adoption of SFAS 123R, and the associated tax impact, where applicable. We believe the presentation of our non-GAAP financial measures enhances the user's overall understanding of our historical financial performance. The presentation of our non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, and our non-GAAP measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

Hey there! I have a cool widget to add to the blogs! I know, some of you know already, but it took me a while to find the "like" box in facebook. Probably because I don't spend a lot of time there, but anyway, I was so tickled I wanted to share this video:
Where they explain very nicely and simple how to do it. It is for word-press, but the only difference is that for blogger, you "add a gadget" for java/html and you are ready to go! The rest of the explanation is the same.
Well, enjoy! And let me know when you are done, so I can go and "like" you :oD

Call for seminar papers—not currently open
Each year, proposals for seminar papers not on the conference theme are invited from members and non-members attending the conference. The seminars focus on particular areas or subdisciplines of theology and continue over a number of years. Papers should be delivered in a maximum of 20 minutes, followed by 15 minutes' discussion, and should be no more than 2000 words in length.
The Society is committed to increasing its own inclusivity and diversity and that of the theological academy. We welcome paper submissions which bring the conference theme into conversation with issues such as gender, sexuality, ability and disability, ethnicity and race. We also welcome submissions from postgraduate students, early career researchers, independent scholars, and those working outside the academy.
The seminars and their convenors are:
Christology and Trinity:Jenny Daggers (e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com)
The necessary interconnection between the key doctrines of Christology and Trinity is emphasized by combining them within a single seminar, though individual papers with either a Christological or a Trinitarian focus are also welcome. Submissions which investigate Christology and/or the Trinity in relation to issues of power and diversity in human life are encouraged as one area of concern in the life of the seminar.
Church, Theology and Ministry:Julie Gittoes (e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com)
The Church, Theology and Ministry seminar seeks to engage with ecclesiology from a rich variety of perspectives. We welcome papers which examine the nature of the church in context, tradition and doctrine; this seminar offers space for papers which explore theologically questions relating to ministry, worship, witness, ecumenism and mission.
Philosophy and Theology:Marika Rose (e-mail email@example.com)
This seminar focuses on the intersection of philosophy and theology: philosophical approaches to theology, theological engagements with philosophy, and explorations of the ways in which theology and philosophy have shaped and continue to shape one another. This year, and in light of current events, we especially welcome submissions which critically engage the role of white supremacy, Eurocentrism and colonialism in forming the Western philosophical and Christian theological traditions.
Sacramentality, Liturgy and Theology:James Steven (e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com)
The seminar on Sacramentality, Liturgy and Theology focuses on a range of issues located at the intersection of theology, worship and praxis, particularly on theological engagements with Christian sacramental and liturgical practices. We welcome descriptive, critical and constructive papers addressing any aspect of theological work on sacrament and liturgy.
Theological Anthropology:Alistair McFadyen (e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com)
The Theological Anthropology seminar seeks papers on the Christian understanding of humanity. We have a preference for papers that do not consider Christian doctrine or biblical material in isolation from secular thought, practice or that engage in theoretical considerations disengaged from lived human experience and reality. Our intention is to gather papers that consider human life and experience in its concreteness, or as theorised in secular disciplines reflecting on human reality or guiding practice and, on that basis, consider how theological anthropology might be challenged by exposure to situations of human reality, and how they might in turn be illuminated by Christian understanding of the human.
Theological Ethics:David Clough (e-mail email@example.com)
The Theological Ethics seminar provides a space for participants to reflect on the interface between theology and ethics. We welcome papers addressing any aspect of this interface, including theoretically oriented discussions and papers addressing specific ethical issues from a theological perspective.
Theology and Science:Mark Harris (e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com)
The natural sciences have changed the religious landscape of the modern world dramatically and irreversibly, and theology is often seen to be fighting a rearguard action in the face of the widespread perception that science and religion are irreconcilably at odds. Over the past few decades a flourishing academic discipline (often referred to simply as 'science and religion') has grown up, seeking to engage theology more positively with scientific advances. The Theology and Science seminar exists to promote this positive dialogue with science. Proposals for papers which explore any angle of the dialogue between theology and science are most welcome.
Theology and the Arts:Ben Quash (e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com)
The Theology and the Arts seminar welcomes paper proposals from, and participation by, anyone with an interest in exploring the intersections of theology and the arts, regardless of period, geography or tradition. Our focus on the arts is broad, and not limited to the visual arts alone. We look at questions of architecture and urban space as well as literature, music, film, dance and theatre, aiming to foster as rich an interdisciplinary set of engagements as possible.
The convenor will notify you by e-mail (to the address from which you applied) whether your proposal has been accepted by 27 February. This is in order to give you time to book and pay before the early booking rate deadline if your conference attendance depends on your proposal being accepted.
Proposals for short papers on the conference theme are also invited. More slots are available for these papers than for seminar papers.
Only one paper proposal may be submitted, either to one seminar or for a short paper. In the event of a shortage of good proposals to a seminar, proposals submitted to other seminars or for a short paper will be considered for that seminar.
We operate a mentoring scheme for those submitting papers for the first time or after a long break. If you would like feedback on a draft proposal before the final submission date, please contact one of our mentors.
In the event that your proposal is unsuccessful and you would like feedback, please contact the appropriate seminar convenor.

As the only person to ever wear the UFC flyweight title, Demetrious Johnson has no plans to surrender it anytime soon.
"Mighty Mouse," who was a special guest on a recent episode of "UFC Tonight," returns to the Octagon later this year vs. Kyoji Horiguchi at UFC 186.
Johnson (21-2-1) has won seven in a row, including five successful defenses of the 125-pound title. Last September, he submitted Chris Cariaso after also earning a 2014 victory over Ali Bagautinov.
Horiguchi, meanwhile, is 15-1 and on a nine-fight win streak that includes Octagon wins over Louis Gaudinot, Jon Delos Reyes, Darrell Montague and Dustin Pague.
"The guy's on a hot streak," Johnson said. "He's 4-0 in the UFC and I'm ready to go to work.
"I just have to go in there and put pressure on my opponents. I have to mix up my wrestling, my muay Thai clinch and striking."
Johnson came under some heat recently when he was asked about a potential champion vs. champion match with bantamweight titleholder T.J. Dillashaw, who defends his belt the same night vs. Renan Barao. He didn't back down from his previous comments, reiterating the price tag for such a fight.
"Absolutely (I'll fight Dillashaw)," he said. "The price tag is $2 million. Let's make it happen."
While some have failed to recognize the skills and victories of Johnson, he is only concerned with remaining on top.
"All have to do as a champion is go out and win fights impressively," he said. "The attention will come."

2D-simulation of flow
Im a an konstruction ingineer student from Denmark, and I have a qustion regarding:
"How to make a 2D-simulation of windflow around i.e an airfoile profile??"
I have no problem setting up 3D simulations in a windtunnel, but do not know how to do the simulation i 2D - Please help!
Thanks in advance!!
Re: 2D-simulation of flow
Dear Jesper,
If you want experimental data for a 2D numerical simulation via experiments for the flow past an airfoil, you need to either
a) Use a wing with larger span (ie a long wing), so that the AR is high enough to lead to a lower induced drag and therfore lesser three dimensional effects
b) Use end plates for a finite wing model, to eliminate any possibility of circulation at wing tips and essentially diminishing three dimesionality effects.
On a wind tunnel, clearly option (b) is most feasible.
Hope this helps
Re: 2D-simulation of flow
Thanks for that input Ganesh -
but was not in perticular the awnser I were looking for. The model has to have a specific size! The problem is how to "draw", so to speak, the 2D model in the CFX program-place it in a windtunnel, and then generate a 2d mesh for the problem in hand!
Re: 2D-simulation of flow
Dear Jesper,
If you are looking at a numerical simulation, there are two possibilities, once again.
1. Get the coordinates of the airfoil, and enerate the airfoil using a suitable spline fit. Then generate a frafield, say 10-20 chords away and mesh the closed domain thereby produced. This mesh can then be used to simulate the flow past the airfoil.
2. Generate the three dimensional wing and a suitable farfield, these now being 3d rather than 2d. To simulate the 2D problem, we need to eliminate the three dimesionality effects, which can be achieved by using periodic BCs at the ends (it is as if you kept endplates when doing experiments).
I believe you are looking out for Option 2
Hope this helps
