Many service members, whether they have seen combat or not,
may face a major transition when returning from military to civilian life,
especially vets making a big lifestyle change like going to college. UNF is
working to make that transition a little easier.
UNF was recognized as a Military Friendly School in October
by G.I. Jobs magazine. The magazine's Military Friendly School list gives
military and veteran students a way to determine which schools offer them the
most benefits, including their efforts to recruit and retain military and
veteran students.
"The University is really trying to strengthen services and
provide the infrastructure for the returning service members and veterans,"
said Jim Owen, director of One-Stop Services and a member of UNF's Veterans
Task Force. "Being recognized as a military-friendly University means a great
deal because a lot of people have worked really hard to improve what we do for
veterans and service members."
In partnership with the city of Jacksonville's Military
Affairs, Veterans and Disability Services, the Jacksonville Department of
Veterans Affairs Outpatient Clinic, Naval Hospital Jacksonville and The Wounded
Warrior Project, UNF will collaborate to deliver a personal approach to veteran
support, which will help ensure the successful integration of Operation
Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom veterans into campus life and
facilitate academic success, graduation and eventual employment.
Early this year, UNF created a Veterans Task Force whose
mission is to make preparations for the unique challenges presented by
returning veterans from recent Iraq and Afghanistan deployments.
The Veterans Task Force developed a project dubbed
Yesterday's Warriors, Today's Students, Tomorrow's Leaders. It is a group of
programs and services that remove barriers to success facing Operation Enduring
Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom veterans and their families. One of the
project's major goals is to provide a supportive environment for them to
achieve academic and life success.
There are approximately 550 military and veteran students
receiving educational benefits at UNF. Nearly 200,000 Florida service members have been deployed
overseas since the terrorists' attacks of Sept. 11. They are or will become
eligible to attend college using the G.I. Bill.
A veteran's transition from the military to college produces
a unique set of challenges and stresses, especially if the veteran has seen
combat. Many veterans will return from an extended period of exposure to severe
emotional or mental trauma. When they return to school, some may experience
difficulty and frustration adjusting to the stresses and demands of college
The establishment of a veteran's resource center is one
focus of the 10-person UNF Veterans Task Force. The center has been tentatively
named the Military Academic and Support Hub, creating the intentional acronym
of MASH. Among many other services, MASH will assist veterans with what can be
an overwhelming process of admission, enrollment and financial aid. The center
will offer information about University and community services available to
veterans. The center will also provide peer support, mentoring and social
networking as well as referrals for academic advising, tutoring and counseling.
The facility requirements for MASH have been defined and
forwarded to the University's Space Committee. Facilities Planning is in the
process of determining the best location for the facility. They will then determine
a timeline for renovation and preparation of the space for the center. Cindy
Alderson, a retired Navy commander, will oversee the total project to enhance
veterans' services at UNF, including the resource center.
"I am very excited to be a part of this initiative because
it not only honors the service of our military and veteran students, but it
provides a comprehensive support model that seeks to ensure their successful
integration to campus life, academic success, retention and graduation," Alderson
said. "The support throughout the collaboration for this initiative on campus
has been inspiring. Senior
leadership, faculty, key staff members and student volunteers alike are
all anxious to do what it takes to help make this successful."
Other areas the Yesterday's Warriors, Today's Students,
Tomorrow's Leaders Project will concentrate on expanding services of the
Disability Resource Center and Counseling Center on campus. Each center has
made accommodations specifically to help veterans. The Counseling Center will
add a part-time staff member to assist with assessment, individual and group
counseling, coordinate medication management and provide nutrition consultation
and support.
"We're finding that many of these military and veteran students
may benefit from academic accommodations," said Dr. Kristine Webb, director of
UNF's Disability Resource Center and task force member. "In addition to seeing
students with physical and mobility issues, we're also serving military and
veteran students who have challenges such as processing speed, focus, memory
and emotional issues. The Disability Resource Center assists these students and
facilitates access to their classes through the use of note- takers and
electronic books. The DRC houses a collection of books with information about
disabilities. These resources are readily available to faculty, students and
The Brooks College of Health will develop an elective
Military Counseling course in the Mental Health Counseling program and its
program interns, supervised by licensed University counselors, will assist in
providing counseling services to family members of UNF active duty and veteran

The holiday season holds the promise of joyful and exciting social, spiritual and personal events. However, especially in light of the current troubled economy, the holiday season can lead to the experience of sizable stress and disappointment, potentially leading to the holiday blues. Dr. Gabe Ybarra, a psychology professor at UNF, discusses being aware of signs of the holiday blues and taking steps to prevent them to ensure a more enjoyable holiday season.What are the holiday blues? The holiday blues have been theorized as involving struggles of overall exhaustion, the perception of great financial stress, trouble with time management and perceived social isolation. Folks often react with struggles in the forms of excessive crying or moodiness, sadness, insomnia or excessive sleep, over- or under-eating, nervousness and agitation.What are some ways to treat the holiday blues and to prevent its occurrence in the first place?
Keep it simple:
If the day's agenda seems overwhelming or like there is too much to do, it probably is too much. Prioritize the events and cut down the items until the agenda or number of tasks appears manageable. Keeping it simple may include deciding not to visit a troublesome or challenging relative, as there are better times for addressing troubled relationships.
Set a holiday budget to limit how much is spent on gifts, travel, decorations and other potential expenditures. Stay within that budget. Correct your mindset when your thinking translates limits on spending as being somehow insufficient and instead actively work to see such fiscal responsibility as success. Realize that you are helping your family to avoid long-term stress related to overspending. Other tips include name-exchange for gifts. Realize that the greatest gift one can give is one's love and time.
Utilize time management:
Time management and planning a schedule will help most folks avoid over-scheduling certain days. Already-busy families can feel like they are overwhelmed during even busier holiday periods. Schedule time to shop and to prepare holiday meals, and other time to visit with family and friends. Try to overlap visits with friends and key events or festivals, if possible.
Set aside some time for just you. During the holidays, it's likely that you'll be expending much time and energy on others. Protecting time for your morning run, a yoga class, a bubble bath, reading a book in the evening or listening to music will help you to feel like your needs are being met as well. In particular, such disciplined self-effort will help to keep resentments from creeping in.
It will be easier to avoid the holiday blues if you continue to fuel your body in appropriate ways. While allowing holiday treats to celebrate, avoidance of excessive amounts of alcohol or high-caloric foods will help you to continue to meet the challenges that each day brings. Celebration in moderation is an important concept.
Should I have realistic expectations?
Yes. While it's nice to imagine "It's a Wonderful Life" or other fictional holiday stories, reality tends to play out differently. Preparing yourself for the probabilities of another get-together with Mom and Dad and extended friends and family, and being accepting of all the flaws that come with normal family relationships, decreases the likelihood of being sizably let down by an imperfect but otherwise enjoyable holiday event. Such a mindset will help you enjoy the positives in a normal holiday event that might otherwise be overlooked by a distracting and ultimately frustrating search for unattainable perfection.Every month, the column "Ask UNF" runs in Inside and The Florida Times-Union, promoting the expertise of UNF faculty and staff.

Department: Athletics
Position: Athletic Business Manager
Years at UNF: Four years
What do you do at UNF?
I am responsible for providing oversight and ongoing monitoring of the Intercollegiate Athletics Department multi-million dollar budget for all sports programs and support areas. I supervise the initiation, review and maintenance of all fiscal documents, including purchase requisitions, purchase orders, accounts payable invoices, P-card transactions and related work flow. I prepare required financial reports as requested for the University, conference and/or NCAA.
Aren't you also involved with UNF's cheerleading program?
Last year we combined the cheer and dance programs into a non-stunting spirit team due to budget cuts. I volunteered to head the cheerleading program this year since it was brought back by our new athletic director. With my background in cheerleading, including one year cheering at UCF, I jumped at the chance to help bring back this program.
How's that going?
We currently have 14 girls on the team, and they have been extremely successful in my eyes, with every member being a first-time UNF cheerleader. I hope to grow this program and have more students interested in it and autition for the team. These students work very hard at their 7 a.m. practices, and I want them to have respect for themselves and others to respect them for all of their hard work and dedication to making UNF's home basketball games a true collegiate experience.
If you could choose any other career, what would it be and why?
Probably something working with animals (four legged ones – no snakes or spiders). I am not sure if I could make it as a veterinarian or an assistant because I am not good with blood, but I don't mind cleaning up after them or bathing them.
What is your favorite way to blow an hour?
If you asked me a year ago, I would have said taking a nap. But I recently took up sewing and have been enjoying the challenge of learning something new. You should have seen my face when I successfully completed my first blind hem on a pair of pants that I had just bought. I am now purchasing patterns and attempting to create a wearable piece.
What is the proudest/happiest moment of your life?
My wedding. My husband and I both come from very large families, and it is hard to see all of them within a given year. However, all sides of our families were able to attend the wedding, which made it that much more special.
What was the first concert you ever attended, and what was the most recent concert you attended?
Not sure if I want to admit this or not, but I believe that it was a Debbie Gibson concert in downtown Jacksonville. I remember how excited my sister and I were that mother was going to take us. I honestly can't say what the last concert was that I attended. That is how long it has been.
What are you most passionate about?
Since my husband and I have not had children, my dogs get the royal treatment. From toys, treats, beds and walks, they get it all. Sometimes they eat better than I do.
Tell us about your family.
My husband, Andy Matthews, and I were married on Jan. 26, 2008. We live in Yulee, just outside of Jacksonville, and have two dogs – Julep, a 3-year-old boxer and Sky-sky, a 2-year-old golden retriever.
What is the best thing you ever won?
Nothing. But my husband recently won a Samsung 42" plasma television. Of course, he won it a few months after we had just purchased an almost identical television. So we gave it to his parents.
If you won the lottery, what would do with the money?
Travel! I have a list of places that my husband has to take me. Unfortunately, the list has never shrunk - only grown. Toward the top of my list is New York City during Christmas time.
Tell us something that would surprise people to know about you:
I own a 20-gauge Montefeltro Benelli shotgun, and I have to say that I shoot a pretty good round of skeet at the gun range.
What do you hope to accomplish that you have not done yet?
My husband and I would like to start a family. No current plans because there is still a lot we would like to do before the responsibilities of parenthood are brought in to the picture.
What was the last book you read?
"Marley and Me." Trust me. If you saw the movie, the book is much better. Especially the end – the book leaves you with warm and fuzzy feelings where the movie left me crying hysterically.
Q — From Linda Burks (Program Assistant, Admissions) Has anyone suggested changing the bushes in the parking lot of Building 53 [UNF Hall]? I drive a small car and sometimes it is hard to tell if someone is coming into the drive area of the parking lots when I am pulling out to go to one of the exits from the parking area. I have nearly been hit a time or two because my line of sight is blocked by the bushes. There are likely others who have been having the same issue.
A — From Chuck Hubbuch (Assistant Director, Physical Facilities): John Moscarillo from Landscape and Grounds contacted Linda Burks to learn her specific concerns as soon as we received this question. John's staff will remove the coontie plants that block sight lines in the coming weeks. Physical Facilities appreciates notification of problems, especially safety matters. Concerns may be sent to Physical Facilities work orders by e-mail at email@example.com .
Employees who have UNF-related questions they would like to have
answered in the next issue of Inside are encouraged to send them to email@example.com.
Questions submitted will be considered for publication in the "Good
Question" column, which is designed to help inform the campus community
about relevant issues. When submitting questions, please include your
name, department and job title, which will be included if your question
is selected. The submission deadline is the 15th of each month. For
more information, contact Julie Williams at firstname.lastname@example.com .

Solstice Consulting has cleared the launchpad with AppLauncher, its new "build, test, deploy" software for iOS, Android, and HTML5 mobile apps. In the race to provide tools to refine mobile programming, Solstice has engineered AppLauncher to "automatically" deploy new app builds to test devices, app stores, or a developer's mobile device management platform of choice.
This automation procedure automates code quality checking for mobile applications, but also enables continuous builds for iOS, Android, and HTML5 Apps.
Custom Builds vs. Standard Processes
Solstice argues that we have a new challenge to hand, thrown up by the fact that many companies are designing mobile apps specifically for their own customers and workforces. From this point (says the company), "It has become clear that standard processes for building, testing, and deploying test versions of applications are manual, time consuming, and cumbersome."
If this predicament does lead to a "fractured development cycle" where quality control and project management become more difficult, then there may be a case for AppLauncher to standardize and automate the compilation, testing, and deployment steps, allowing app developers to focus on writing innovative code.
AppLauncher aims to further centralize the app build and deployment process by plugging into companies' existing source control and mobile device management systems — as soon as a new build is finished, the company can beam it to all the test devices in the field.
"At Solstice, we run dozens of mobile projects at once, so we saw how difficult it was to deploy many apps for different clients, all with unique requirements. We designed AppLauncher to reduce the tedious, high-risk steps in the app development process," said J Schwan, president and founder of Solstice Consulting. "With AppLauncher, your development team can focus on what you pay them for — creating new products, new features, and better functionality."
The AppLauncher Viewing Deck compiles metrics on the status of each app project. It then delivers that feedback through comprehensive dashboards that highlight an app's overall technical "health", showing specific code infractions. It also calculates the number of hours and dollars required to troubleshoot particular hang-ups. The software automates app unit testing and integrates with external user interface testing tools.

As a farm machinery mechanic and writer, Dan brings a hands-on approach that only a pro can muster. Along with his In the Shop blog, Dan writes a column by the same name as well as the Shop Series for Farm Journal magazine. Always providing practical information, he is a master at tackling technical topics and making them easy for all of our readers to understand. He and his wife, Becky, live near Bouton, Iowa.
A customer was at the dealership this week buying sweeps for a row cultivator. He had a field of soybeans where water hemp had defied two passes with a sprayer, so he was dragging out the cultivator to "apply some iron" to deal with the problem. I joked that if the cultivator didn't do the job, he always had the option of grabbing a hoe or corn knife and "walking" the beans. He assured me that walking beans was NOT an option, no matter how bad the weeds got.
Which got me to thinking about the thousands of hours I spent walking beans when I was younger. That evening I was doing some yardwork and had to pull a few stray butterprints that had sprouted around the Anderson estate. (I call it butterprint, you call it velvetleaf, either way it's still a weed...) I'd almost forgot the pungent odor of crushed butterprint leaves. Which reminded me of the smell of cocklebur, which reminded me of the feel of sunflower, and suddenly I was reminiscing about a part of my farming experience that I never thought I'd reminisce about.
There was a time when I could identify the majority of common farm weeds blindfolded. Butterprint (velvetleaf) has its namesake soft leaves and unique smell. Cocklebur leaves also have a special aroma when crushed. Sunflowers have rough, hairy stems that will leave the inside of your forearms raw if you have to pull lots of large ones--I remember cutting the toes out of old socks and wearing them as sleeves on my forearms to prevent "sunflower rash." Foxtail has its trademark bushy seedheads, smartweed has smooth, waxy leaves and low-growing stems that contribute to a unique type of backache, and pigweed just felt like pigweed, for some reason.
This all reminds me of a family legend about the time our family was driving to town with the car's windows down on a hot, humid summer evening. As we cruised past one of our recently-walked soybean fields, Dad abruptly said, "I smell a weed." He slammed on the brakes, put the car in park, clambered over the fence, waded about 50 yards out into the beans and plucked the lone, offending butterprint. Thinking back, I'm pretty sure that light-colored butterprint in the sea of dark-green soybeans caught the eagle-eye of my weed-hating father, but from that night on, the Anderson kids always sniffed the air for weeds as we drove past our bean fields.

Emergency Information Response Is A Public Service We Can Coordinate Through Real-time Verification
This article was written by Craig Silverman and originally published on Poynter.org on 1 November, 2012. Republished with permission.
It didn't take long for a variety of debunking efforts to help combat misinformation and fake images related to Hurricane Sandy.
The Atlantic launched InstaSnopes, the "Is Twitter Wrong?" Tumblr spread quickly, BuzzFeed collected fake images and produced a related quiz, and Storyful did its usual #dailydebunk of fake content. Others stepped in to help with verification efforts.
Articles at The Week, the "Today" show, ABC News and numerous other media outlets debunked fakes and helped spread the word. But it wasn't only journalists that tried to stop the flow of false information:
Rumors are wrong. The MTA cannot assess damage until Tuesday. It is way too early for a subway reopening timetable. — MTA (@MTAInsider) October 30, 2012
Con Edison's Twitter account even responded directly to a Twitter user that BuzzFeed called out as being a source of misinformation:
@comfortablysmug Info about shutting electrical service is wrong. #ConEd MAY shut service if low-lying areas flood: bit.ly/S6qvhj — Con Edison (@ConEdison) October 28, 2012
As a result, Mathew Ingram and John Herrman emphasized the efficient way that Twitter can knock down misinformation. Poynter's Jeff Sonderman also looked at the self-correcting nature of Twitter.
"Twitter is a fact-processing machine on a grand scale, propagating then destroying rumors at a neck-snapping pace," Herrman wrote. "To dwell on the obnoxiousness of the noise is to miss the result: That we end up with more facts, sooner, with less ambiguity.
"Yes, Twitter is used to spread misinformation, and it's also a powerful fact checking network. Any tool or network that can spread information will spread both good and bad information. This is because humans offer an abundance of both, especially during fast-moving breaking news events.
The question, then, is how can we make Twitter and other networks more efficient at debunking lies and spreading facts?
I believe part of the answer is for news organizations, journalists, government agencies and other entities to coordinate and cooperate on big breaking stories, especially during crisis situations and natural disasters.
Collaboration and coordination
Federal agencies coordinate with state and local officials during events such as Hurricane Sandy. At the same time, we saw New York papers knock down paywalls as a public service so anyone and everyone could freely follow the storm's progress and effects.
This same spirit of cooperation and public service should extend to the coverage of these extraordinary events.
The idea is to bring news organizations and other key players together during disasters and big breaking stories to coordinate the creation and sharing of debunking, and the spread of quality information.
This happened in small doses on Monday. Here's Stephanie Haberman of Mashable pitching in to help Alexis Madrigal of The Atlantic verify an image:
@alexismadrigal Looking into 86th street pic. Instagram photomap shows geotag on Cypress & Jefferson in Ridgewood. Close to an L stop. Fishy — Stephanie Haberman (@StephLauren) October 30, 2012
Tom Phillips and "Is Twitter Wrong?" also partnered with Madrigal.
Here are folks from The Huffington Post, The New York Times and Mashable, among others, interacting to verify another image:
@ckanal @stephlauren @ethanklapper @heyveronica @katz @toddjolmstead same here. also, no reports of flooding in bay ridge, too. — Jordan Cohen (@jorcohen) October 30, 2012
Collaboration and coordination are key during an event like Sandy. We need to formalize this process.
What would that look like?
I previously wrote up a Knight News Challenge proposal for a similar service called TruthTrend. (It was submitted privately, and was therefore not made public.) A central goal of it was to "alert journalists and the public to emerging hoaxes, misinformation and other forms of false information that are making their way into the press and onto social networks."
A few months ago, I updated the proposal after talking with Felim McMahon of Storyful about their debunking work, and how it might be used to help inform the public and other journalists.
I renamed the project WarningWire and focused less on using technology to identify trending misinformation and more on creating a network of news organizations, journalists and other parties to establish a human debunking network.
I hope a group of organizations, including Poynter, can work together to secure a grant and test whether a centralized, non-profit organization could act as a (mis)information clearinghouse during breaking news and other big events, as well as a source of best practices for knocking down misinformation. (A non-profit seems to fit with the goal of it being a public service.)
At the core of the concept is a recognition that many news organizations will still want to do their own debunking work. But now they can avoid the duplication of tasks by focusing on information that hasn't yet been investigated, and hopefully see their work spread farther and faster thanks to a coordinated effort.
WarningWire would aggregate debunkings on its site with clear credit and links out, and work hard to help push out links on Twitter and elsewhere. It would help coordinate debunking efforts, and encourage outlets to promote their work and the related work of others. That's the public service.
A clearinghouse and air traffic controller
The idea is that news organizations — especially those not engaged in debunking — will now know where to check an image or stat before they report or retweet it. Government and aid agencies would have a central point of contact to help spread correct information and share their debunkings. And everyone can work together to combat the flow of misinformation.
There will, of course, be outlets who choose to only trust the information that's been processed by their people. It's a great instinct. But the vast majority of outlets do not do this work. What they need is a place to find some of the best debunkings, especially during a breaking news event.
Outside of breaking events, the small team at WarningWire would track misinformation, suspicious images and video, and aggregate them so as to provide something of an assignment desk for any news organizations checking content. They would also provide guidance as to the best ways to sort misinformation from accurate information.
An obvious challenge: getting news organizations that compete every day for information and stories to work together. One way to get past this is for WarningWire to become a driver of traffic to organizations that do the debunking. The aggregation model of Mediagazer is an example of how the site could showcase content while still driving traffic to participating outlets.
In this sense, WarningWire is a clearinghouse and air traffic controller not a source of all or even most of the debunking. It's a platform for people to share what they've done, see who's debunked what, and have access to important information for dissemination during breaking news events.
People coordinating WarningWire would work in the service of everyone, rather than any single organization or partner. That may suggest the need for a cooperative ownership or oversight structure.
If it proves popular enough to attract ads and/or sponsors, then there would need to be a revenue sharing model after costs are covered. Ultimately, it will need to be self-sustaining so a revenue model built on traffic, sponsorship, and/or a membership structure is eventually essential.
We will never rid public networks of fakery and misinformation. But by banding together to share resources and coordinate efforts, the press and other entities can be more effective at spreading the truth.

Fruit is the new super food
Who knew, when we were playing with the not so pretty pomegranate fruit on my Grandmothers very large bush, it would one day become yet another Super Food? For years I have been using the fruit in holiday decorating, often finding the fruit hard to find and very expensive. But now you can find the fruit at almost all food stores ready not only for its beauty in decoration but for its taste and terrific health benefits as well. Don�t be shy; they add color and taste to your holiday creations.
Of course the best reason to include pomegranate is for it super health benefits.
*Pomegranate is known to regulate cholesterol; they contain paraoxonase � a naturally occurring enzyme in the body that helps keep LDL (bad cholesterol) from accumulating in arteries. In one study, subjects who drank pomegranate juice for two weeks had an 18 percent increase in production of the enzyme.
* Pomegranate seed oil and pomegranate fruit extract have anti-inflammatory effects that stop the destruction of joints caused by osteoarthritis.
* A single pomegranate contains nearly a quarter of the USDA�s daily recommended amount of dietary fiber, which helps you feel full and maintain a healthy weight
* Pomegranate contains compounds with antibacterial properties�pomegranate juice has been found to be just as effective as prescription mouthwash at ridding the mouth of plaque, the bacteria that causes cavities and gingivitis.
* Pomegranate is good for your skin, packed with potent antioxidants (including powerful ellagic acid); pomegranates help limit the damage of UV rays. They also defend against free radicals and increase collagen production.
Pomegranate are fun to eat but can be a tad messy. A tip for seeding the fruit is to fill a large bowl with water. Lightly score the fruit into quarters from crown to stem end, cutting through the skin but not into the interior of the fruit. Hold the fruit under water, break it apart and use your hands to gently separate the plump seeds (arils) from the outer skin and white pith. The seeds will drop to the bottom of the bowl and the pith will float to the surface. Discard the pith. Pour the seeds into a colander. Rinse and pat dry. Seeds can be frozen for up to 3 months.
Pomegranate Wild Rice Pilaf
1 cup of wild rice, dry
3/4 cup pomegranate seeds (approx. 1 medium pomegranate)
1/4 cup pistachios, chopped
1/2 cup red onion, finely diced
1 tsp. balsamic vinegar
1 tsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp. black pepper
Cook rice according to package directions. Toss together seeds, pistachios, onion, vinegar, oil and pepper. Stir in hot cooked rice. Toss thoroughly and serve.
Chocolate Pomegranate Ginger Bark
(This recipe makes a great gift too)
10 oz. bittersweet chocolate (60 percent cacao), broken into 1-inch pieces
1 cup fresh pomegranate seeds (from 1 large pomegranate)
1-1/2 Tbs. minced candied ginger
1/4 tsp. fine sea salt
Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or waxed paper. Put the chocolate in a wide, shallow microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high until it just starts to melt, about 1 minute. Stir with a spatula until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth, heating in additional 15-second increments, if necessary.
Gently stir half of the pomegranate seeds, the ginger (break up any clumps with your fingers), and the salt into the chocolate. Scrape the chocolate mixture onto the baking sheet and spread it into an 8x10-inch rectangle. Sprinkle the remaining pomegranate seeds evenly over the top, pressing them into the chocolate. refrigerate until fully set, about 30 minutes. Break the bark into chunks with your hands (be careful not to crush the seeds), and serve.
Saut�ed Bacon and Blue Cheese Brussels Sprouts and Pomegranate
4 slices uncooked bacon, diced
2 shallots, thinly sliced
4 cups Brussels sprouts, halved
Salt and pepper
1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles
1/4 cup pomegranate arils
In a large saut� pan, cook the bacon pieces over medium-high heat, stirring frequently until just beginning to crisp. Add in the shallots and stir to incorporate before adding in the Brussels sprouts*. Sprinkle lightly with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until Brussels sprouts are golden brown around the edges and on the flat side. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of water over the top and stir until the water is absorbed into a natural sauce.
Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the blue cheese. Pour the sprouts into the serving dish. Sprinkle with pomegranate arils and serve immediately.
*If the bacon is extra lean and you aren�t left with much grease, you may need to add a tablespoon or two of oil or butter to the pan before adding in the Brussels sprouts. Aim for 2 tablespoons of oil/bacon grease total in the pan before adding in the sprouts.
Pork and Pomegranate Pan Sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 (4-ounce) boneless center-cut pork loin chops
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/3 cup chopped shallots
3/4 cup pomegranate juice
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Combine first four ingredients in a small bowl; sprinkle over pork chops.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork chops; cook 3 minutes on each side. Remove and keep warm. Add shallots to pan; cook 45 seconds, stirring constantly. Add juice, 1 tablespoon sugar, and vinegar; bring to a boil. Cook for 5 minutes or until slightly thick. Serve pork with sauce.
Jeweled Fruit Salad
(Some of these ingredients may be hard to find, so feel free to add your own favorites)
1/2 cup pomegranate seeds (about 1 pomegranate)
1/2 cup julienne-cut peeled jicama
1/3 cup sliced seeded kumquats (about 6 medium)
2 medium ripe mangoes, peeled and cut into thin slices
2 tangerines or clementines, peeled and sectioned
2 blood oranges, peeled and sectioned
1 pear, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons honey
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
1/8 teaspoon coarse sea salt
Combine first seven ingredients in a large bowl; toss gently. Combine lime juice, honey, pepper, and salt in a small bowl, stirring well with a whisk. Pour over fruit; toss gently to coat. Serve at room temperature.
Yogurt Trifle with Pomegranate, Pear, and Dates Recipe
3/4 cup plain yogurt
3/4 cup small-dice pear
3 tablespoons pitted small-dice dates
1/2 cup fresh pomegranate seeds
3 tablespoons honey
In a small bowl, layer 1/4 cup of the yogurt, 1/4 cup of the pear, 1 tablespoon of the dates, 3 scant tablespoons of the pomegranate seeds, and 1 tablespoon of the honey. Repeat twice more. Serve immediately.

I'm back from nearly a month away. First, it was a wonderful time in Hong Kong and Bali with the boy. Days after my return, I was devastated by the news of my grandmother being hospitalized... followed by an unexpected trip to Beijing for her funeral. Without much time to adjust, I left for New York city to meet my dad. Nevertheless, here I am... back on the blogging train and starting with pictures from Hong Kong. No matter how many years away, HK remains a place where I feel at home. I spent a good chunk of my childhood living in the city and there's something about it that's luring me back in. During this visit, I realized that it's time to get off cruise control and get on with my career development. A possible move to HK? Time will tell.

Burn 2 programmer, ALDL to USB cable, Burn 2 to USB cable, 6 new blank 2732B chips, C.A.T.S. Tuner CD.
Is the cable the one from aldlcables.com? What files are with the cats cd?
ALDL cable was from moates. Not sure what is on the C.A.T.S CD - just the programming and data logging software - never used it - sold my S-10
Byron, you still have these items for sale? Where you located? Thanks
That's an ALDLcables.com cable. The Moates cable is a little box with two cables that plug into it, an USB cable and an ALDL connector cable. http://www.moates.net/aldu1-and-cabl....html?cPath=64
The Burn2 is obviously from Moates and a great little programmer.
The man who says something is impossible, is usually interrupted by the man doing it.
Six_Shooter, could I use that ALDL-to-USB hooked directly to my computer or do I need to get the Moates with the little box to do data logging? What does the box do for the setup? Is there an advantage to the Moates setup?
Byron: What type is the ALDL--12 or 16 pin?
Sorry for the elementary questions, I'm very new to tuning.
The ALDLcables.com cable works on it's own. The Moates and the ALDLCables.com cables are just two different designs that do the same thing. I haven't used the ALDLCables.com cable, but I do use a Moates cable, and I like that I can replace any cable end easily without needing to buy a whole new cable if anything were to happen to a cable (USB or ALDL interface), even though I haven't yet had the need to do that. lol
The 12 or 16 pin is exactly that, how many pins are in the ALDL connection. OBD1 is 12 pin and OBD2 is 16 pin.
The man who says something is impossible, is usually interrupted by the man doing it.
Six_Shooter, thanks for responding and sharing the info about the cables.
By the way, are you also a contributor on the ThirdGen site? I've been doing a lot of reading on this and the TGO site and noticed your log-on name. While all the reading is a significant task in itself, I am beginning to realize the act of tuning is NOT simply a cut and paste exercise. In addition, the readings have shown that tuning requires being somewhat aware of the intricacies associated with programming.
Maybe, I need to reconsider this whole thing.
Yes, that's me at TGO.
The actual tuning is not that difficult and no, you don't need to know a lot about the actual programming of the ECM, especially with programs like TunerPro, where all of that hard work is done for you, you just need to understand how certain parameters relate to actual engine function, which becomes pretty easy to understand once you actually connect and see things happening. Using datalogging and just watching the data tracing (bubble) shift over tables will help you understand what cells are being used at what times and maybe even why.
The parts that Byron is selling are a great cheap way to get into tuning, at least non-real time tuning which is how many of us started. Datalog, make changes program an EEPROM install and repeat. If it were me I'd add an emulator, such as Moates' Ostrich 2.0 so you can make real time changes as the engine is running and see instantly what those changes do. Then when you're happy with the changes program an EEPROM and install until the next tuning session.
Yes the learn curve is steep, but thankfully not that long for the most part.

The man who says something is impossible, is usually interrupted by the man doing it.
It's been a while since the items were purchased - wasn't sure who's ALDL cable it was. Might have been purchased with the cats software

The study of the history of CGI (computer generated imagery) is an important part of our overall educational experience, not necessarily to build on the historical precedent, but to gain an understanding of the evolution of our discipline and to gain a respect for the key developments that have brought us to where we are. The discipline is so recent in its early developments and so rapidly changing that we are in fact living it, and it evolves as we speak. Yet we have been so busy in advancing the discipline that we have often neglected to accurately record this history. So we will decide to agree upon certain past events in order to begin to develop a definitive record of what has transpired in this evolutionary process.
We must learn from the past, as we develop a theory and methodology which is tuned to the capabilities and qualities inherent in software, hardware, animation techniques, etc. that are part of our broad, contemporary, and creative computer graphics environment. It is in this context that this course has been developed.
Herbert Freeman, in an introduction to his 1980 IEEE compilation of computer graphics papers, presents a succinct overview of the first two decades of the development of the CGI discipline. Like many other disciplines, computer graphics and animation has a rich (albeit relatively short) history that involves the following four eras, which are very much linked and related:
Early pioneers include artists (such as Chuck Csuri and John Whitney) and researchers (such as Ivan Sutherland and Ken Knowlton). These visionaries saw the possibilities of the computer as a resource for making and interacting with pictures, and pushed the limits of an evolving technology to take it where computer scientists never imagined it could go. Their work motivated the work of the others as they tried to realize the potential of this new vision. In this course, we will survey work from Sutherland, Csuri and Whitney, National Research Council of Canada (Burtnyk, Wein and Foldes), Michael Noll, Lillian Schwartz and Ken Knowlton, and others.
Many of the so-called innovators were housed in universities and research labs, and were working toward solving fundamental problems of making "pictures" of data using the computer. We will survey work from many of these facilities, including Bell Labs, Ohio State, University of Utah, New York Institute of Technology, Evans & Sutherland and several aerospace and automotive companies, MIT, and others. Individual work of Nelson Max, Jim Blinn, Loren Carpenter, Turner Whitted, and others will also be reviewed.
The early adapters included pioneering CGI production facilities, artists, researchers, and research labs and industries with an interest in converting much of this early work into a viable (and marketable) tool for realizing their disparate goals. Notable companies include Robert Abel and Associates, Digital Effects, MAGI, Information International Inc., and others. Artists include more from Whitney Sr., Yoichiro Kawaguchi, David Em, Jane Veeder, and others.
The late seventies and early eighties saw the second wave of adapters, which were primarily special effects production companies, equipment and software developers, universities, motion picture companies, etc. We will survey work from PDI, Cranston/Csuri Productions, Digital Productions, Omnibus, LucasFilms, and others.
As the technology advanced and the acceptance of this new approach to image making increased, the industry likewise evolved, and many of the current contributors, or followers (this descriptor is not intended to be demeaning or derogatory) came into being. These include effects production companies such as Pixar, Disney, Metrolight, Rhythm and Hues, ILM, Sony, Digital Domain and others. We will also look at work from universities such as Cal Tech, Ringling, Cornell, Ohio State, UNC, Brown, Utah, etc., and companies and research labs such as Apple, SGI, Microsoft, Alias, Softimage, Interval Research, and others. We will look at the impact on related areas, such as HCI, design, multimedia, virtual reality, scientific visualization, etc.
The course will include a review of the work of these individuals and institutions on video and film, as well as a review and discussion of printed material from the literature. Students are expected to participate in these discussions.
For a review of the various institutions and individuals that have contributed to the discipline and that are covered in the course readings, take a look at the CGI Family Tree (which is also in the infancy stage and evolving on a daily basis!!)
An historical timeline (always under construction) can also be accessed, as can a short history of CGRG and ACCAD. Additional resources (eg, papers) used in this class can be accessed from the readings or obtained from the resources link.

Chicago: Officers Beneath The Downpour
In Mayor Rahm Emanuel's Chicago, a police department struggles to regain control of the streets from violent gangs. Sometimes the rain helps.
Pulitzer Center grantees examine the quality and efficiency of healthcare infrastructure throughout the world, focusing on the need to provide affordable care, prevent future catastrophic outbreaks such as Ebola, rethink business models, and improve healthcare delivery through new diagnostic tools or mobile technology.
Special attention is paid to the healthcare systems in low-income countries where clinics in rural areas are few and far between, healthcare providers scarce, surgical treatment centers often non-existent—and where children under the age of five are 16 times more likely to die than those in high-income countries.
Our journalists also cover safety issues and injury-related deaths, including those caused by firearms, drowning, or car accidents. Our Roads Kill project features an interactive map with reports on road fatalities from around the world—an often neglected, yet preventable, global health crisis, in a world where every year an estimated 1.2 million people are killed in road traffic crashes.

The Erie Canal ran right through the city of Syracuse. For those of us born after the canal was filled in it is hard to imagine Erie Blvd. full of water. I did a terrible job taking this picture of a painting that hangs in the museum. For some great images of the canal through Syracuse, including a 1905 image of the Weighlock building in operation, go here.
The museum is located in the 1850 Weighlock building, where boats stopped to pay their toll. The Frank Buchanan Thomson Line Boat is the museum's showcase exhibit and to give you an idea of just how large it is you can see the top of the boat through the museum's front windows.
It was warm and comfortable inside the museum, a real treat in Syracuse in January! You can walk through the boat and enjoy the various displays onboard.
The sleeping accommodations on board looked less than inviting. These canvas bunks were stowed during the day and hung for passengers at night. As uncomfortable as it looks I'm sure it was much preferable to slow, overland travel.
This display illustrated how the weighlock worked. Boats floated in, the water was drained, the boat weighed and the chamber reflooded.
Replicas of a couple of types of boats that traveled the canal.
I had problems with my camera yesterday so here is another not great picture. This office was wonderfully restored.
The museum also has many displays of Syracuse history. I was surprised but pleased to see Elizabeth Cotton showcased.
It was a last minute decision to attend the lecture so I didn't have time to see all of the displays. There were several displays on the second floor that I missed. It was a bit chilly so I didn't explore the small outdoor exhibits, the boat below and a small urban garden. The museum has obtained the building next door and will be expanding there as well in the future. I do plan to attended more of the lecture series so I will take in some more next time.
A tip if you plan to go. Look for this statue across the street from the museum. There are a few free parking spots in the lot behind and under the highway. The entrance to the lot is off of James St. There is also metered parking available on the streets surrounding the museum.
There are not a lot of fun indoor places to take your kids to here in the winter time. Syracuse is just far enough away that I would plan to combine a trip to the museum with something else. Perhaps the indoor portion of the Rosamond Gifford Zoo or the interactive childrens theater at the Spaghetti Warehouse on Saturday afternoons with younger children. Adults and older kids might enjoy the Onondaga Historical Association Museum a couple of blocks away. Mike is the only one old enough to attend one of the lectures with me. The next one falls during winter break so I may see if he would like to go with me since I rarely get to do things with the grandchildren one on one.

Day 2: Trolltech -- Oops, that's -- Qt Developer Days
Actually, for me it's Day 1 of the Qt Developer Days Conference in Munich, although in fact its Day 2 of the conference -- Monday involved all-day tutorials, I'm told. However, officially according to Qt Software who is putting on the event, it is still Day 1. See how confusing things can get when you don't speak German, Norwegian, Finnish, or any other of the languages you catach smatterings of at this event.
Day 1 or Day 2, whatever. The day started off as a fashion parade to my way of thinking. Eirik Chambe-End, Trolltech co-founder and Technology Advisor to the now Qt Software gave the offical welcome. Eirik was wearing a suit and tie. He was followed by VP Sebastian Nystrom who wore the suit but not a tie. Sebastian was followed by Forrester Research's Mike Gualtieri who wore a sport jacket, sans tie. I followed Mike and I had on jeans and a dress shirt. And finally, I was followed by Benoit Schillings, Qt Software's CTO, who wore a t-shirt and jeans. In all of that, I was the only one who thought he'd dressed up especially for the event.
My session was on "Concurrency and the Multi-core Revolution" and I did my usual stuttering and stammering for 30 minutes. Which was too bad since Benoit, who gives wonderful presentations (I could listen to him all day long), planned on tackling more or less the same topic. Alas, Benoit had to make adjustments on-the-fly, but his presentation was still better than mine. I felt bad about usurping Benoit's presentation, but face it -- I'd felt worse if he had spoken before me. That's life on the event circuit.
But I wasn't done wreaking havoc at the event. In the afternoon, I sat in on a Thiago Macieira's session on "Enhancing Your Qt Applications with Multiple Threads" and I learned a lot. However, I also learned that I covered some of the same issues that Thiago planned on covering, and because he didn't want to repeat too much of what I said, his session ran slightly short. Thank goodness for those Q&A sessions at the end.
Still, the highlight of the day for me (and no, I didn't make another trip to Augustiner's) was sitting next to Benoit, who is an amateur astronomer. He showed me a number of photos of some of the telescopes he's built and used to collect some of the astronomy data that he used in his presentation. Moreover, Benoit closed his presentation by using Code_swarm to answer an audience question. Code_swarm , you recall, is a series of videos about the development of open source software. Using dancing light, rings of color, and snappy music, Code_swarm shows the history of commits in software projects such as Python, Eclipse, PostgreSQL, and Apache. What gave me the kick about seeing this is that I'd just recently written about that very project in Dr. Dobb's Journal. Cool.
And speaking of getting kicked, I suspect any minute for someone to knock at the door and tell me it is time to leave. I hope not, because Eike Ziller has a session on "The Future of Tools" that I'd like to sit in on. In any event, it's been an excellent event, especially since I've had the opportunity to meet some Dr. Dobb's authors and line up some future ones. I'm sorry that I won't be able to attend the North American edition of Qt Developer Days in Redwood City, CA on October 29-30, since I'll be at SD Best Practices conference in Boston from October 27-30. Hmm, I wonder what kind of trouble I can stir up there? In any event, hope to see you in Boston.

Top Apple executives have met with top Samsung executives about settling their patent fights, Paul Barrett at Bloomberg Businessweek reports.
Barrett writes, "Apple CEO Tim Cook does not seem to share his predecessor's passion about laying all foes to waste. Cook appears to view litigation as a necessary evil, not a vehicle of cosmic revenge."
In Walter Isaacson's biography on Steve Jobs, he revealed that Jobs said, "I'm going to destroy Android, because it's a stolen product. I'm willing to go thermonuclear war on this." He also said, "I will spend my last dying breath if I need to, and I will spend every penny of Apple's $40 billion in the bank, to right this wrong."
After the book came out we spoke briefly with Isaacson about those comments. He said Jobs' preferred method of attack on Android was the legal system. (We've always thought this odd, and somewhat pathetic. There are better ways to win a war against Android, no?)
Apple has been attacking Android partners like HTC and Samsung in the courts, trying to say they make copy cat products that infringe on Apple's patents.
Barrett has a long look at the legal back and forth, and seems to conclude that Apple's case is weak.
Apple is arguing that Samsung ripped off its iPhone design because both companies have phones that are, "a rectangular product with four evenly rounded corners, a flat clear face covering the front of the product, [and] a large display screen under the clear surface."
Every smartphone looks like that now. And a lot of phones looked like that before the iPhone. It's hard for Apple to actually assert any legal right to that design.
As a result, it's not winning many of its patent cases. And that's partially why Apple's executives are considering abandoning Apple's "thermonuclear war" on Android.

2-year-old hospitalized after near-drowning on Father's Day
A Liberty County family placed a frantic 911 call around 3:45 p.m. Sunday to report that their 2-year-old had drown.
According to authorities, the family held a barbecue at their home, where relatives played in a 3-foot deep, above -ground pool. After swimming, the family removed the ladder to the pool.
Somehow, the child managed to get back in the pool without anyone seeing him. A relative spotted him and pulled him out, authorities said.
The family drove him to an area hospital, where his condition is unknown at this time.

Some of the
git commands have many options, and it would often be useful to search through them for the one I need - I was just looking for the option which controls the TAB width in
git-gui, but there are about 200 completions for
git config. An obvious workaround is to copy all the completions into an editor and search through them, but I'd rather do
[something] | grep tab
There are no
man or
info pages for
help compgen doesn't even explain its own options, and there's no auto-complete for
compgen (how's that for irony?).
compgen -A doesn't work.
PPS: This is not a question about
git-gui - The solution to the tab width question was elsewhere.
PPPS: This is not about auto-completing commands, only command parameters.

Microsoft's Commitment to Anti-Corruption & Anti-Bribery
Microsoft prohibits corruption of government officials and the payment of bribes or kickbacks of any kind, whether in dealings with public officials or individuals in the private sector.
Corruption promotes poverty, hunger, disease, and crime, and keeps societies and individuals from reaching their full potential. Corruption is one of the leading obstacles to economic and social development. It distorts the rule of law and the institutional foundation on which Microsoft depends. Microsoft is committed to observing the standards of conduct set forth in the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the applicable Anti-Corruption and Anti-Money laundering laws of the countries in which we operate. Microsoft is also committed to continual improvement of the anti-bribery management system in place to assess, monitor, and manage potential bribery risks.
Overview of Microsoft's Standards of Business Conduct
As responsible business leaders, it is not enough to intend to do things right, we must also do them in the right way. That means making business decisions and taking appropriate actions that are ethical and in compliance with applicable legal requirements.

Suppliers and their employees, agents, and subcontractors (collectively referred to as "Suppliers") must adhere to this Supplier Code of Conduct Policy while conducting business with or on behalf of Microsoft (The terms "vendor" and "supplier" are used interchangeably). Suppliers must promptly inform their Microsoft contact (or a member of Microsoft management) when any situation develops that causes the Supplier to operate in violation of this Code of Conduct Policy. While Microsoft Suppliers are expected to self-monitor and demonstrate their compliance with this Code of Conduct, Microsoft may audit Suppliers or inspect Suppliers' facilities to confirm compliance. Microsoft may require the immediate removal of any Supplier representative(s) or personnel who behave in a manner that is unlawful or inconsistent with this Code of Conduct or any Microsoft policy. Compliance with this Code of Conduct, and attending training on this Code of Conduct, as may be offered by Microsoft, is required in addition to any other obligations in any agreement a Supplier may have with Microsoft.
Download the Supplier Code of Conduct or learn more about the Supplier Code of Conduct Training Program.
Representative Vetting and Contracting
Microsoft performs regular monitoring of its Anti-Corruption program through various methods, one of which is risk-based due diligence ("vetting") of Representatives.

A tremendous commotion was started today, as a panel in the Texas Senate decided to cut the $25 million subsidy set aside to help bring Formula 1 to the city of Austin, Texas. Immediately this sent concerns through the motorcycling press as to what it could mean for MotoGP and the Texan GP scheduled to be held in 2013, as it seemed the State of Texas was pulling its support from the still un-built Circuit of the Americas.
The short answer to that question is nothing, as the $25 million was ear-marked to go directly into Formula 1's pocket, not to MotoGP's coffers. However, the long answer to the question is a bit more convoluted, as MotoGP's running in Austin is intrinsically linked to Formula 1 coming to the Texan track, which this budgetary decision seemingly directly affects.
