Target Your Upper Body
Do the strength routine two to three times a week. Add the intervals (see "Your No-Fail Cardio Plan") twice a week, either on the same or alternating days. If you have time, add some additional moderate-pace cardio, such as running, walking, swimming, cycling, or elliptical training, 30 to 45 minutes twice a week.
What You Need
A resistance band or tubing, a step bench or stairs, and a chair or stability ball (Find it all at fwonline.com.)
The move: Band series
The trainers: Rich and Helene Guzman, co-owners of LA Rox
The clients: Sheryl Crow, Minnie Driver, Hilary Swank
A. Chest flye: Tie a resistance band or tubing around a sturdy object at about chest height. Stand facing away from the anchor point, holding one end of band in each hand with feet staggered and arms out to sides, palms facing forward. Slowly bring ends of band together in front of chest, rotating palms down. Slowly return to start, keeping elbows slightly bent; repeat. Do as many reps as you can without losing form.
B. Triceps extension: Untie the band and place one end under right foot, holding other end in right hand. Raise right arm next to head, keeping elbow bent and close to ear. Slowly extend arm, then lower to start and repeat. Do as many reps as you can; switch sides.
C. Biceps curl: Stand on center of band, feet shoulder-width apart. Hold one end of band in each hand, palms facing up and elbows close to sides. Keeping elbows pressed into rib cage, slowly curl hands toward shoulders, keeping wrists straight. Lower and repeat; do as many reps as you can.
Tone Your Shoulders
The move: Shoulder series
The trainer: Christel Smith
The clients: Daryl Hannah, Uma Thurman
A. Tie the band to the base of a sturdy object. Stand to right side of band, feet hip-distance apart, holding end in left hand, palm facing body. Keeping elbow slightly bent, lift left arm out to side to shoulder height. Hold 1 count; slowly lower and repeat. Do 12 to 15 reps; switch sides.
B. Untie band and place it under the middle of left foot, feet staggered, holding one end in each hand, palms facing behind you. Raise right hand forward to shoulder height while pulling left hand back. Hold 1 count; lower and repeat, lifting left hand forward and right hand back. Do 12 to 15 reps per side.
Flatten Your Abs
The move: Around the world
The trainer: Teddy Bass
The clients: Christina Applegate, Paris Hilton, Lucy Liu
Lie faceup on floor with knees bent, feet flat on floor and hands behind head with elbows out to sides. Cross left ankle over right knee. Lift shoulders as high as possible, bringing left elbow and shoulder toward right knee. Return to center and crunch up, keeping left ankle on right knee. Lower back to start and repeat, this time bringing right shoulder toward left knee. Continue, moving from right to left with each rep. Do 12 to 15 reps; switch legs and repeat, moving from left to right.
Boost Your Lower Body
The move: Rotational step up
The trainer: Joe Dowdell, founder and co-owner of Peak Performance Strength & Conditioning

Hot Workout Tips
Sure, their workouts are effective. But these trainers have developed a loyal celebrity following because they're good at motivating their clients. Here, some of their top workout advice.
Do More in Less Time
"Shorten the time you rest between exercises by alternating upper- and lower-body moves. You'll burn more calories while still giving your muscles time to recover."
— Joe Dowdell
Don't Blame the Clock
"If you have time to eat, drink, or watch TV, you have time to fit in a workout. Even a few minutes a day can make a difference and motivate you to do more."
— Teddy Bass
Give Yourself Breathing Room
"Think of the area you are working and 'breathe' into the muscle, pausing a beat at peak contraction. You'll reduce momentum and get more out of the exercise."
— Christel Smith
Feel the Beat
"Music is my all-time favorite motivator. The right songs can make you want to work harder and go longer. Try to put together a playlist that will boost your mood, but don't pick songs that all have a fast beat or those that don't have any lyrics at all — after a while, even that can become monotonous."
— Jeanette Jenkins
Cross the Finish Line
"Competition can be a great motivator. Sign up for a 5K or 10K race or even a triathlon or long bike ride, then get yourself on a training plan. You'll feel a great sense of accomplishment by training for and then completing your goals."
— Rich and Helene Guzman
Picture Your Success
"Visualization can be an incredibly powerful tool. Before you begin to exercise, take a couple of minutes to sit quietly, eyes closed, and imagine what you will be doing in your workout. Athletes often do this kind of 'blind rehearsal' before a game or competition to motivate themselves to perform at their best."
— Ashley Borden
Don't Skimp Necessities
"If you're dragging midway through your workout, it's probably because you didn't adequately prepare your body. Make sure that you're not only getting enough sleep but that you're also adequately hydrated, and that you're eating right both before and after your routine. All of those things come together to help you perform your best."
— Gunnar Peterson
Be Patient
"Your body isn't going to change overnight. If you expect too much, too soon, you'll likely get discouraged and quit altogether. Progress from easiest to hardest, gradually changing the amount of weight you lift, reps you do, or distance you go so your body can adapt to the demands and become stronger without risking injury."
— Mike Alexander
Follow the Rainbow
"Try to eat at least two servings of fruits and three servings of vegetables a day, following the colors of the rainbow. Choose from tomatoes (red), tangerines (orange), peppers (green, red, or yellow), carrots (orange), blueberries (blue), eggplants (purple), and zucchini (yellow or green). These foods are rich in vitamins and antioxidants to keep you healthy."
— Larry Krug, nutritionist and trainer

Speaking recently at the exclusive Gridiron Club dinner that doubles as a bipartisan comedy roast, President Obama delivered a jab at a Republican and seemed particularly happy with it, then waited for the laughter to die down before quipping: "This lame-duck stuff is fun."
But seated a few feet away in the audience, Obama's speechwriters were far more tense.
The president had the last word that evening, so their responsibilities throughout the night included scratching funny lines that other speakers used first. The assignment made for a roller-coaster dinner of frantic updates, edits and revisions to Obama's remarks.

We've seen plenty of the upcoming BlackBerry Q10 at this point, but some new images of what looks to be an early developer unit have surfaced. The images show the black Q10 but oddly it has a rubberized battery door that is more similar to the that of the BlackBerry Z10. We've seen (and fondled) the Q10 multiple times now and never seen a battery door like this, so we don't expect that it will show up anywhere unless it gets offered up as a third-party replacement for the OEM door.
I for one would love to see this offered as an alternative option though - I totally love the feel of the battery door on the Z10 and it would be great to carry that over to the Q10 as well.
What's cool here too is that we get another look at the Q10's NS1 battery. That bad boy is sporting 2100mAh and to say we're excited to test it out is an understatement. Keep in mind that the Z10 battery is 1800mAh, so with all that extra juice plus a smaller screen size, the Q10 looks to have some amazing battery life.
Check out the gallery for more photos and let us know what you think in the comments!

Testing Configural Invariance with cl...
Mplus Discussion
Multilevel Data/Complex Sample
Maureen Brinkworth
posted on Monday, April 02, 2012 - 12:47 pm
I am studying teacher-student relationships using a survey. This survey consists of parallel versions for teachers and students. Thus, in a classroom of 20 students, each student will complete the survey once about his/her teacher and the teacher will complete the survey 20 times (once for each student). I have clustered the data by "Teacher ID" to account for this nesting.
I would like to conduct a test of configural invariance, so I set up a file for the teacher data and one for the student data and used the method described by Byrne (2012). However, when I did this, I received an error stating "CLUSTER option cannot be used with multiple data files."
How can I conduct this test of invariance given that I need to account for the nesting in my data?
Thank you in advance for your help!

I don't see your data as being appropriate for a multiple group analysis. Multiple group analysis requires the groups to be independent and the students and teachers are not independent. I would suggest a multilevel model for these data where the cluster variable is teacher. Your data set would have a set of student items for each student and a set of teacher items for each student. The teacher items would be the average of the teacher ratings for each student. As a first step, you might want to do a TWOLEVEL EFA to examine the factor structure at both the student and teacher levels. It is often the case that the same number of factors are not found at each level. Please note that you need from 30-50 teachers for this analysis to work well.

Thank you for your reply! I am a bit unclear about your statement: "The teacher items would be the average of the teacher ratings for each student." I have raw data (a response on each item) from each student about one teacher and then responses to the same parallel items from that teacher about that student. I have organized the data such that each student line has the student's responses to the items and the corresponding teacher's responses to parallel items. I did not average any scores. Is that what you were suggesting?
Given this setup, I have clustered the data by "Teacher ID" to account for nesting of students within teachers and created models using Type = Complex and Parameterization = Theta.
I did try to create two-level models, as you suggested, but the only data that are actually at the cluster level are teachers' demographics. The teachers' responses to the items about their students are different for each student - so, although these are completed by the teacher, they are measured at the individual student level. In addition, I am only attempting to model outcomes at the student-level (i.e., students' homework completion, grade in class, feelings of self-efficacy, etc.). I do not have any outcomes at the teacher-level.
Given my data and the outcomes I'm trying to predict, does my approach seem appropriate?
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Tuesday, July 17, 2012 - 6:10 pm
I think you do have an outcome at the teacher-level. Each student in a class rates the teacher. You can average these student ratings of the teacher to create a classroom-level variable. The teacher ratings of each student is a student-level variable.

The candles flickered in the crisp fall air, their melting wax dripping into glass jars, as the tears coursed down the cheeks of 13-year-old Joshuah Delos Santos' classmates.
Together, in the shadow of a veterans' memorial in Nanticoke's Patriot Square, they remembered the eighth-grader's love of drawing and science fiction and his endearing propensity to tell knock-knock jokes that didn't make very much sense at all.
Video of the vigil aired that night on the local news. Photographs of the crying teenagers appeared the next morning on the front pages of the local newspapers. News articles quoted Delos Santos' sister and friends railing against the "bullies" whose harassment they said led the boy to open his father's lockbox, pull a gun and shoot himself in the head.
Within eight days of Delos Santos' Sept. 18 suicide, three more Luzerne County teenagers took their lives: a 16-year-old junior and a 15-year-old sophomore at Pittston Area High School, 14 miles northeast of Nanticoke, and a 14-year-old sophomore at Hazleton Area High School, 28 miles south.
Psychologists interviewed by The Citizens' Voice said the deaths - along with the less-publicized Aug. 24 suicide of a Hazleton Area senior from Drums - were indicative of a suicide cluster, a phenomenon in which people with geographic, academic or social ties end their lives in close succession.
Similar series of suicides have affected communities and high schools across the U.S., including Lake Forest, Ill., near Chicago, where three high school students stepped in front of trains in January and February; Pocono Mountain East High School in Monroe County, where three students committed suicide within a five-week span in 2004 and the Jersey Shore communities that comprise the Manasquan Public School District, where nine people between 16 and 21 ended their lives over a three-year period.
In a cluster, one death will beget another, with teenagers already teetering on the edge with depression or other mental illness seeing death as an escape from their internal demons and external pressures, Madelyn Gould, a professor of psychiatry and mental health at Columbia University, said.
In 90 percent of all suicides, the victim had a diagnosable mental illness, according to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, including 60 percent who suffered from depression.
The death of a peer, Gould said, "presents suicide as an option" to those already suffering.
"It makes it more real," Gould said. "Someone can then start ruminating about it and really start considering it as a way to resolve their problems. It could even start on a backburner and keep going and going and then something horrendous happens - a fight with a parent or a fight with a boyfriend or girlfriend - something triggers it and then another suicide happens in a relatively short period of time."
The tipping point
Luzerne County Coroner William Lisman said last week he hoped the recent string of suicides was a "statistical aberration" in a county that, from 1990 through 2010, averaged 1.9 suicides by persons between the ages of 10 to 19.
According to data from the Pennsylvania Department of Health, there were four suicides in the county by people in that age range in 1990; five in 1995; and three each in 2002, 2003, 2006 and 2008.
"Had these deaths been January, July and December, they very likely would have gone unnoticed in the public eye," Lisman said. "There is pretty consistently usually two, maybe three teenage suicides in a year, but they're not bunched together, grouped together and the public attention isn't drawn to them."
The public attention may have been a significant contributing factor, according to Gould and Frank J. Zenere, the psychologist for the Miami-Dade Public Schools.
By all accounts, the teens in the Luzerne County cluster knew little if anything of one another, yet they each ended their lives within five weeks, including the last four in a chilling eight-day span.
The teens were spread across three different high schools and moved in distinct social circles.
The first and the fifth went to Hazleton Area: a senior from rural Drums who loved the outdoors, and a freshman from within the Hazleton city limits remembered by his family after his Sept. 25 death for a "constant smile and kind heart."
The second, Delos Santos, lived in Nanticoke and played soccer, basketball and baseball. The day after Delos Santos's death, classmates posted a memorial page on Facebook and organized the candlelight vigil that, because it would be held in public, compelled editors and news directors to push aside policies against covering suicides.
The third and fourth went to Pittston Area: a junior named Matthew M. Montagna who played football and cared for animals, and a cheerleader, Jamie Ann Baker, with a 3.5 grade-point average.
None were friends. None spoke regularly or studied together. But they were peers, connected on the periphery by social media and influenced by the successive suicides through the mass media.
Vigils - like the ones held in Nanticoke for Delos Santos and in Pittston for Montagna and Baker - can appear to a fragile mind like overdue appreciation for a neglected life, Zenere said. News coverage of the memorials and remembrances can exacerbate the effect, Zenere said, remembering a headline in the Miami Herald in the mid-1990s that described a double suicide as "Romeo and Juliet revisited."
"When there is a suicide by a youth, that kind of lays down some modeling for other students that are vulnerable to that message that, 'I did this and look at the attention I'm getting,' or 'I did this, and I'm no longer in my pain,'" Zenere said. "You can see why others might be appealed to that message if they're in a lot of psychological distress."
Curing the 'contagion'
The natural instinct after the death of a friend or a loved one is to grieve and mourn.
In the recent string of suicides, that grief and mourning has spilled across Facebook, into the hallways at school and in public forums like Patriot Square and the football field at Pittston Area.
Classmates of the fifth victim, the Hazleton freshman, wrote his initials or his name on their arms.
At the football game Friday at Pittston Area - coincidentally against Hazleton Area - flags were lowered to half-staff and the public address announcer asked for a moment of silence to honor the students lost from those schools.
Players on the Nanticoke Area team wore yellow ribbons, for suicide prevention, on their helmets.
Remembering victims of suicide can be precarious, particularly in the midst of a cluster, Zenere said.
"When it comes to memorializing losses due to suicide, we have to be very cautious," he said. "We don't want to glorify the event and bring undue attention to the cause of the death. What we want to do, appropriately, is of course give students a chance to grieve the loss because it's a loss no matter what kind, the other part is to prevent imitative suicide."
Instead of dwelling on a suicide, or memorializing the victim with plaques, T-shirts or Sharpie tattoos or dedicating the football team's next win in his or her name, experts have encouraged schools to focus on suicide prevention, identifying at-risk students and emphasizing life, Zenere and Gould said.
"We're very concerned about suicide being considered a reasonable thing to do. It's not a reasonable thing to do. It's a very irrational thing to do, but when people are in an extreme psychological pain, reason is out the window," Gould said. "What would seem incomprehensible at a time when they're not overwhelmed all of a sudden seems comprehensible, particularly when someone else has done it."

It takes a singular event to lay claim to a Boston tradition. Lilac Sunday, which celebrates its 106th anniversary this year on May 11, is an annual rite of spring at the Arnold Arboretum. The explosion of color and fragrance in the Syringa collection lining Bussey Hill Road has always been a huge favorite. When Arboretum Director Charles Sprague Sargent became aware of its popularity with the public and the press, he was sure to include the lilacs with his spring flowering predictions in The Bulletin of Popular Information (1911-1940).
"At the Arnold Arboretum in Jamaica Plain there is now in bloom the largest display of lilacs ever seen in this country; it contains from 125 to 160 varieties of Syringa vulgaris. This collection has been obtained from all parts of the world, and also includes every known species in cultivation. This popular flower can be seen at its best during the following week . . . The public is cordially invited."
—Boston Daily Globe, May 25, 1895.
It is interesting to note that Lilac Sunday informally came into being due to coverage in the Boston popular press. On May 25, 1908, the Boston Daily Globe headline read: "Lilac Sunday at Arnold Arboretum." Ever the sagacious publicist, Sargent had cultivated the press with clippings predicting which Arboretum spring-flowering plants would fully bloom at a given time, thus outlining ideal visiting times for the public. Since the Globe was aware that most people worked six days of the week, they simply chose the optimum day for people to fully enjoy the blossoms, thus christening "Lilac Sunday."
Lilac Sunday was first officially designated by the Arboretum in Ernest Henry Wilson's 1925 book America's Greatest Garden. In his chapter "Lilac Time," Wilson writes:
"The Lilac holds a particular place in our affections and in no other flowering shrub is the spirit of home more closely entwined. Go where one will in New England bushes of the Common Lilac may be seen in close proximity to homes and often they are all that are left to mark the site of old homesteads. It is a long-lived accommodating shrub thriving in all sorts of queer places, often under very adverse conditions . . . 'Lilac Sunday' draws the greatest crowd of people to the Arboretum."
Cherish this Mother's Day with a visit to the Lilac Collection!

manager David Dudding (pictured) is to step down from the fund next year to take on a global remit at the group.
The Citywire AAA-rated Dudding will be replaced on the fund by Euro Stars and Citywire Top 1000 star Mark Heslop from 1 January, but will still retain control of his large cap focused fund.
Dudding will take the reins of the Threadneedle (Lux) Global Focus Fund from 1 April 2013, replacing Neil Robson who will continue to run his healthcare and StanLib mandates at the group.
Both Dudding and Heslop have produced strong performances over the past few years, with Heslop ranked 18th in the Citywire Top 1000 and 12th in the European equities sector of Citywire's Euro Stars.

Major Section: PROGRAMMING
The macro
mbt (``must be true'') can be used in order to add code in
order to admit function definitions in
logic mode, without paying
a cost in execution efficiency. Examples below illustrate its intended use.
(mbt x) equals
x. However, in raw Lisp
(mbt x)
x entirely, and macroexpands to
t. ACL2's guard
verification mechanism ensures that the raw Lisp code is only evaluated when
appropriate, since a guard proof obligation
(equal x t) is generated.
See verify-guards and, for general discussion of guards, see guard.
Also see mbe, which stands for ``must be equal.'' Although
mbt is more
natural in many cases,
mbe has more general applicability. In fact,
(mbt x) is essentially defined to be
(mbe :logic x :exec t).
We can illustrate the use of
mbt on the following generic example, where
<rec-x>, and
<base> are intended to be terms
involving only the variable
(defun foo (x) (declare (xargs :guard <g>)) (if <test> (foo <rec-x>) <base>))In order to admit this function, ACL2 needs to discharge the proof obligation that
<rec-x> is smaller than
x, namely:
(implies <test>
(o< (acl2-count
But suppose we need to know that
(acl2-count x)))
<g> is true in order to prove this.
<g> is only the guard, it is not part of the logical
definition of
foo. A solution is to add the guard to the definition of
foo, as follows.
(defun foo (x) (declare (xargs :guard <g>)) (if (mbt <g>) (if <test> (foo <rec-x>) <base>) nil))If we do this using
<g> rather than
(mbt <g>), then evaluation of
every recursive call of
foo will cause the evaluation of (the appropriate
instance of)
<g>. But since
(mbt <g>) expands to
t in raw Lisp,
then once we verify the guards of
foo, the evaluations of
<g> will be
avoided (except at the top level, when we check the guard before allowing
evaluation to take place in Common Lisp).
Other times, the guard isn't the issue, but rather, the problem is that a
recursive call has an argument that itself is a recursive call. For example,
suppose that
<rec-x> is of the form
(foo <expr>). There is no way we
can hope to discharge the termination proof obligation shown above. A
standard solution is to add some version of this test:
(mbt (o< (acl2-count
Here is a specific example based on one sent by Vernon Austel.
<rec-x>) (acl2-count x)))
(defun recurX2 (n) (declare (xargs :guard (and (integerp n) (<= 0 n)) :verify-guards nil)) (cond ((zp n) 0) (t (let ((call (recurX2 (1- n)))) (if (mbt (< (acl2-count call) n)) (recurX2 call) 1 ;; this branch is never actually taken )))))If you
(defthm recurX2-0 (equal (recurX2 n) 0))
(verify-guards recurX2)
acl2-count), you will see that evaluation of
(recurX2 2) causes several calls of
acl2-count before the
verify-guards. But this evaluation does not call
acl2-count after
verify-guards, because the ACL2 evaluation mechanism uses raw Lisp to
do the evaluation, and the form
(mbt (< (acl2-count call) n))
macroexpands to
t in Common Lisp.

So as it has been painfully obvious, I haven't been blogging particularly frequently over the past few months. Now on the one hand, you could just say that the "honeymoon period" for me on the blog is over, but the truth is I've been buried in regulatory compliance stuff and other security related issues. Of late, I've been working especially hard with a customer on implementing IBM Database Encryption Expert and Informix. It's been challenging learning a product that is focused at being integrated into the OS layer, but fun too. Of late though, I've wondered how much that might apply to application developers. Sure the intent is to be as transparent as possible, but if you data is have to be encrypted/unencrypted, do you want to know about it? And if so how much?
So anyway, I'm asking for feedback as to whether you would like to hear a bit more about encrypting databases, the methodologies, and what I firmly believe is the best choice for Informix, well ok all, databases.

At university I programmed a FPGA in a C-like language. However, I also know that one usually programs FPGAs in Verilog or VHDL. Is this a designer choice? If so, what are the performance drawbacks?
I would ideally like to program the FPGA in a C-like language, rather than VHDL.
I was thinking of getting an Xilinx Virtex-5 if it makes any difference?

Brief Synopsis
A woman fights to survive as a prisoner of the Japanese during World War II.
In 1941, Agnes Newton Keith is the only American resident of Sandakan, the capital of British North Borneo. She is married to British colonial officer Harry Keith and, unknown to him, is pregnant with their second child. Concerned about rumors that, in the event of war, Japanese troops could come through the East Indies, Henry suggests that Agnes and their four-year-old son George return to America. Agnes insists on staying but agrees to send George back. However, before that can happen, the Japanese attack Pearl Harbor and the inhabitants of Sandakan are advised that they will soon be invaded, that they cannot be evacuated and that they must not cooperate with the Japanese. Shortly thereafter, the Japanese, led by Colonel Michio Suga, take over the area. Suga, who speaks English fluently, asks to see Agnes as he has read the Japanese edition of a book she has written about Borneo, and asks her to autograph a copy of the American edition. He talks of his children, a girl and two boys, one a little younger than George. The Japanese occupation of Sandakan is a very trying time, and after a month, Agnes has a miscarriage. In May 1942, the Japanese Army orders that all Europeans be evacuated to prison camps and that men and women be imprisoned separately. George goes with his mother by small boat to Berhala, a desolate, ill-equipped camp, where they endure nine months of filth, hunger and degradation. The men are only a few hundred yards away in a separate compound and, occasionally, notes can be passed between them. Thus, a meeting is arranged between Agnes and Harry. Leaving George, who is feverish, in the care of her friend, Betty Sommers, a terrified Agnes sneaks out under the wire, past the guards, to meet Harry for the first time in five months. However, while Agnes is away, George's fever worsens and Betty has to go to the camp's captain to plead for quinine. The captain decides to see George's condition for himself, and Agnes makes it back to the barracks just before he arrives. The women eventually leave Berhala but the men remain there. After ten days at sea in miserable conditions, the women arrive at another appalling camp, run by Lieutenant Nekata, who tells them that the war will last another ten years. Although the women are forced to labor in the rice paddies, their daily food ration consists of one cupful of thin rice gruel, five tablespoonfuls of rice, an occasional vegetable and a cup of tea. One day, Agnes is summoned to Nekata's office to discover that Suga is there, having been put in charge of all camps in the area. He has brought a copy of Agnes' book, which he took from her house, and she autographs it "To Colonel Michio Suga-a lover of beautiful letters." One night, a group of Australian male prisoners-of-war from a nearby camp come to flirt with the women and try to climb the wire fences. Suddenly, the compound is ablaze with light and the guards begin shooting the men, horrifying the women with the sight of bodies impaled on the wire. Months later, Agnes is brutally attacked by one of the guards and complains to Suga. He assigns Nekata to conduct an investigation but Agnes cannot identify her assailant as it was too dark. Suga apologizes to her but, once he leaves the camp, Agnes is again interrogated by Nekata, who insists that she identify the man from a line-up. When she cannot do this, Nekata orders her to sign a document denying that she was attacked. Agnes refuses to sign as, she knows Nekata can have her executed for falsely accusing a Japanese soldier if she does. Agnes is tortured but refuses to sign. Later, Agnes is summoned for another interrogation, and fearing she will not return, she asks Betty to look after George. Nekata is about to torture her again when Suga returns to the camp and learns that Agnes has now decided to drop all charges. In May 1945, the women are working in the fields when the area is bombed by Allied planes. Although they hope the attack means their freedom is imminent, three months pass before the Australian Air Force drops leaflets announcing that Japan has surrendered and that help will arrive as soon as possible. Suga tells Agnes that his wife and children have been killed in the Hiroshima bombing. Later, when Suga finds George and two young friends scavenging for food, he invites them to a picnic at his house where, upon seeing the happy children, he breaks down. One morning, the women awake to find that their captors have left. Soon, trucks loaded with Australian soldiers and liberated male prisoners from surrounding camps arrive, and Suga is captured. Agnes' friend Betty reunites with her husband but there is no sign of Harry. After Agnes and George keep a vigil at the camp's entrance, Harry finally appears on crutches. Although barely able to walk, Harry runs toward Agnes, but falls in the dusty road. Agnes and George rush to help him, and the family is together once more.

I was able to test that the presentation software is interfacing with the stimtracker. The problem that I am having now seems to be with the code sequence. I'm not sure I understand the sequencing for communicating with stimtracker.
I see how mp\x0A\x00\x00\x00 = 10, but I'm not sure I understand how mp\xE8\x03\x00\x00 = 1000 from the Presentation wiki (http://www.neurobs.com/wiki/Presenta...us_StimTracker). Also, it seems that every odd code I send, sends the same code sequence to the Biosemi software (decimal value = 128). Thanks for the help.

Music Monday – "Baby It's Cold Outside!"
Sherry Stocking Kline
January 4, 2010
I had so much fun doing Christmas music video's that when I found this duet Baby, It's Cold Outside (Dean Martin with Martina McBride)on former Kansas girl, Martina McBride's "White Christmas" album I just couldn't resist posting it here.
Besides, here in Kansas, with barely double digit temps, and single digit wind chills, it's pretty appropriate today, 'cuz Baby it's sure cold outside here!
When we were having cold weather (like this week) my dad, Harold 'Jiggs' Stocking, Sr., would always come in from feeding the cattle or working outside (we had a wheat and dairy farm then) and laughingly tell my mom"Baby it's Cold Outside!" After listening to the song a few times, I know why he was laughing when he said it!
The song also reminds me to share a saying that my Mom's mom, Carrie Breneman Jones always told her:
"When the days begin to lengthen, the cold begins to strengthen".
I've been paying attention ever since she shared that with me, and it's often very true! We were working outside in medium weight jackets here right before Christmas.
In just a couple of days, we're going into minus wind chill temps here. Brrrrr!
With a couple of inches of snow and minus wind chills, I won't be doing any 'cemetery stomping' this week, for sure!
Fifty-four days till the first of March! (but who's counting!) Can't wait!
2 Responses to "Music Monday – "Baby It's Cold Outside!""
A true classic, was refreshing to hear Dean Martin and it reinforces why he is a true legend

Each week, we'll ask our stable of scribes across the globe to weigh in on the most important NBA topics of the day — and then give you a chance to step on the scale, too, in the comments below.
BLOGTABLE: Intriguing East teams? | Intriguing West teams? | Taking slow approach with rookie
> As the start of Eastern Conference training camps near, which two teams are you most intrigued by? And what depth chart battle/storyline/offseason move(s) by those teams will you be watching most?
Steve Aschburner, NBA.com: Two? Thought you said there wouldn't be math on this. Well, I'm curious about a pair of East also-rans, New York and Milwaukee. The Knicks have undeniable buzz now, and I'm curious to see (in order of intrigue) how "back" Derrick Rose really is in his new surroundings as he eyes next summer's free agency, how high of a priority Kristaps Porzingis' development remains on New York's to-do list and to what degree Joakim Noah can put the paddles to that team's collective heart. The Bucks, meanwhile, need significant bounce-back because they messed up the ramp-up of their rebuilding (you aren't supposed to go from 15 victories to 41 to 33, especially when healthier and sporting an alleged big free-agent "get" in Greg Monroe). Giannis Antetokounmpo's nine-figure contract extension signed this week is the latest step toward a season that's showtime now rather than any more dress rehearsals.
Scott Howard-Cooper, NBA.com: The Celtics and the Magic, for different reasons. (Among the many possible answers.) Boston has a chance to push into the top three and be in good position if the Cavaliers falter. Brad Stevens is a leading preseason candidate for Coach of the Year. Orlando won't play at the same level, but several offseason moves (especially up front, and hiring Frank Vogel as coach) definitely qualifies as intriguing. The Magic sorting through options and now without Victor Oladipo should be a good watch wherever they are in the standings. The depth-chart battle among Nikola Vucevic, Aaron Gordon, Bismack Biyombo and Serge Ibaka will get the most scrutiny.
Shaun Powell, NBA.com: Bulls and Knicks. And not exactly a coincidence. The defections of Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah this summer will have a measurable impact on each team; we just don't know whether it's positive or negative and to what degree. Both teams will give off some hints during camp about their identity and what we might expect at least for the first month or two. The Bulls need to address their power forward spot with either Nikola Mirotic or Bobby Portis, while the Rose-Courtney Lee dynamic will bear watching.
John Schuhmann, NBA.com: Indiana and Philadelphia. The Pacers could see a boost in their offense with the additions of Jeff Teague, Thaddeus Young and Al Jefferson, along with the development of Myles Turner. But their defense is likely going to take a big step backward with the departures of George Hill, Ian Mahinmi and Frank Vogel. Can Nate McMillan find the right balance, and how much longer will Monta Ellis be around? And of course, it will be fascinating to see just how good the Sixers' trio of rookies — Joel Embiid, Dario Saric and Ben Simmons — is and how Brett Brown is going to work out the frontcourt minutes while he still has all those guys plus Nerlens Noel and Jahlil Okafor.
Sekou Smith, NBA.com: The Chicago Bulls and their three-alpha attack should provide for a fascinating chemistry experiment for Fred Hoiberg and his coaching staff. We all know what Dwyane Wade, Rajon Rondo and Jimmy Butler bring as individuals. How they mesh together and whether or not they can make the Bulls a top-four contender in the conference playoff chase remain the outstanding questions regarding this trio. The Boston Celtics swung for the fences in free agency and came away with a seemingly perfect fit in Al Horford, a veteran center/power forward who should stabilize things in the frontcourt immediately. He helped make Atlanta one of the top teams in the conference the past two seasons. I'm curious to see if Horford can do the same for the Celtics now.
Ian Thomsen, NBA.com: The Heat have enough talent to contend for homecourt advantage in the East — if they can resolve their many issues, including the absence of Dwyane Wade's leadership, the medical uncertainty of Chris Bosh's future, the chemistry between Bosh and Hassan Whiteside, and the potential of Goran Dragic to become a go-to star, which at age 30 he must fulfill this year. This looks like an entirely different franchise because Wade is no longer there to accept the responsibility of making things right. It was his team and he took it personally when the team struggled. How do they replace that level of authority? The other fascinating team is Indiana, which will be playing in a hurry after surrounding Paul George with Jeff Teague and Thaddeus Young. How quickly can 20-year-old Myles Turner emerge as their No. 2 star while creating mismatches at center? Another intriguing addition is backup center Al Jefferson, whose low-post game could enable Indiana's second unit to change and control the pace.
Lang Whitaker, NBA.com's All Ball blog: Atlanta, for one. I know bringing in Dwight Howard to replace Al Horford was made with an eye on the box office, but what kind of result will it have on the win column? I also wonder if enough attention is being paid to the change at the point, with Dennis Schroder replacing Jeff Teague and being asked to take on a starting role. Another Eastern Conference team I think may be interesting is Orlando. I've always admired Frank Vogel's ability to get a team to play a cohesive style of play. The Magic are still staffed with a lot of youth, but I wonder if Ibaka playing a more central role will get him back to being the dominant player he was a few years back?

I'm looking for new ones to read. Currently I read distrowatch, tuxgeek, and linuxhaxor
Slashdot is always a regular for me. Sometimes the articles are good, other times it can be a bit slow but it's updated regularly.
i check heise online now and then for comprehensive open source news; i especially like their kernel updates, check the 2.6.28 one for instance.
ᶘ ᵒᴥᵒᶅ
Ooooh, I just tried heise online, and it seems quite good. Who runs/operates it? Personaly I check slashdot and sometimes lwn. The community section of the ubuntu forums usualy has some interesting stories in it, with more in depth discussion than on the average comments section of a news site.
Consistency is not a virtue.
I check Distrowatch frequently, not so much for the ratings as for the new release updates. Also, Slashdot is great and Linux.com was good but recently was "out of the game" for a few months. I just noticed they have a new temporary page up that says they will be relaunching Linux.com soon with The Linux Foundation behind it. So I will have to check that out... I also like LinuxInsider.

I tend to go to slashdot mainly, but I also have phoronix news and os news on my news feeds.
it's hard to find regular linux/oss news pages that dont have the same articles, but i've found those three to have a good range (for my interests anyway).
I mainly check forums though, like arch, kde, and a couple of others.

heise online is the editorial of a german computer magazine
A quick glance through digg technology and slashdot every day usually keeps me updated. Plus it only takes about an hour of my time.
i also like http://pro-linux.de
http://distrowatch.com/ and http://blogs.computerworld.com/sjvn
Though I find the latter to be less and less interesting lately.
what goes up must come down
Frankly, as entertaining as /. may be, it is highly tendentious at times. I think it's nice when you fit in with the target audience (anything non-Windows and feeling good about that, basically), but it is hardly news-worthy.
Sometimes Slashdot looks a bit like the Sun to me - only in IT.
As for distrowatch... I find the site debatable. I have grown a fond dislike of it due to people thinking of it as important because it shows some arbitrary distro homepage stats, and that probably clouds my overall judgement of the site. But I find it has very little relevant information. If you're a distro jumper/watcher it may be of value but I am barely interested in new release of distro X or Y. But hey, that's just my two cents
I like Ars Technica. Heise looks good too. LWN has interesting stuff too but they have a lot of (hot) subscriber-only content (no, I'm cheap, I don't want to pay for Linux news). LWN is very good for reference stuff though.

Miami Dolphins
Miami Dolphins coach Joe Philbin lightens up — a little
America's first true introduction to Joe Philbin came in weekly installments — not on the football field, but the small screen.
Philbin was the protagonist in HBO's Hard Knocks, the all-access reality TV show that framed the Dolphins' first-year coach as a straight-laced, no-nonsense leader.
Remember the nervous hush that fell over the quarterbacks' meeting room when Philbin entered to announce the starter for the first exhibition game? How he combed the locker room for any errant scrap of paper or trash?
And who could forget his dramatic sit-down with Chad Johnson after the receiver's domestic violence arrest?
Philbin put the "Oh!" in zero tolerance.
But a year later, that script needs revision.
A kinder, gentler Philbin? Maybe not. But certainly a looser one.
"He's letting his hair down a little bit, the little hair he does have," quipped defensive end Cameron Wake.
Added quarterback Ryan Tannehill: "I think we've all gotten more comfortable, ripping him, giving it back to him. He's got that real dry sense of humor. I try to rip him as much as I can."
An example: The always-punctual Philbin was the last onto the practice field for the June 12th minicamp session. He wasn't late, but he cut it closer than usual.
It didn't go unnoticed.
"I got everyone to start ripping him as soon as he walked out," Tannehill said with a chuckle.
Now, that's a small thing, but not inconsequential. Imagine Bill Belichick's reaction if he got semi-publicly chided by his entire team?
'More himself'
"He's more himself, I guess," Dolphins receiver Brian Hartline said. "He doesn't seem as rigid. He's easy to talk to. Probably a combination of that is us getting used to being around with him.
"He's a lot of fun," Hartline added. "He's got a great sense of humor, and once you get that, he's going to be more fun to be around."
And he has shown that even his no-off-field-embarrassments rule isn't hard and fast.
Yes, Philbin cut Johnson during last season's training camp just hours after he got out of jail. But Philbin also gave second chances to Jonathon Amaya and Evan Rodriguez after their respective arrests.
Amaya was accused of assaulting a cab driver — a charge that was later dropped — but Philbin allowed him to finish the season on the team. (He's now a member of the Arizona Cardinals.)
And Philbin green-lit the recent signing of Rodriguez, a fullback who has been arrested twice this offseason. ("I feel like I'm getting a second chance," a grateful Rodriguez said last week.)
Core principles
But even if his demeanor has changed, Philbin's core principles have not.
Philbin said Rodriguez's background was discussed — and surely weighed — before agreeing to offer him a contract. He still doesn't like trash-talking in the media.
And his parting message to his veteran players just before the team broke for the summer: Keep your nose clean, because you are a representative of the Miami Dolphins 365 days a year.
"He's the same," center Mike Pouncey said. "He's the commander-in-chief, he likes to run a program one way, he's very straightforward about it, and he's going to do a great job rebuilding, and building this team from now on out."
Added Wake: "We still get after it. We know what he wants, what he expects and we make sure we do it on the field."
• Talks between NFL teams and Vonta Leach have heated up in recent days, the Miami Herald has learned, and Philbin is said to want a deal done by the end of the week.
Leach, an All-Pro Bowl fullback, has been on the free agent market since the Baltimore Ravens cut him early last week. He visited the Dolphins during last week's minicamp but left for home without a deal in place.
If signed, Leach would assumedly become the starting — and possibly only — fullback on a Dolphins offense that struggled in short-yardage situations a year ago. He has drawn interest from multiple teams.

Well the latest developments in Yemen as Houthi fighters gained much of control and taken the previous president hadi under house arrest.
Someway the president escaped with international backing possibly.
The main concern, accusation by Houthis here is not to gain some secterian control but currently there is backing to international jihadi terrorism in Syria and Yemen as well. This should be made public and vocalized with greater voice by media etc.
similar to the president, usa, qatar installed mb affliated group leaders in the government can be made to escape from Yemen by their backing. After that someway if they gain control back by saudi qatar support they can be reinstalled and alleged international support for terrorism would continue.
Majority votes do not clarify the yemen leadership from the suspected crimes like backing jihadists.
Houthis should take the ruling key position guys suspected of backing terror under arrest with higher secuirty(some escaped so there will be no future risk by doing so). then under objective justice if it is proven then the guilty would be punished. if not they can go free and continue their politics.
This way they wont escape with western backing and with a clear legitimate cause of stopping international terrorism Houthis will gain more both in public eyes and worldwide.
Considering the unstable situation in Yemen to not to reverse things back to what it was before Houthis should not leave their captured bases and land.

Fusion-io changes its CEO again
Co-founder gets the hot seat
Flash card supplier Fusion-io has changed its CEO for a second time, with the incumbent becoming board chairman just 13 months after gaining the CEO mantle.
David Bradford became CEO in February 2009, replacing Don Basile, who had brought Bradford into Fusion-io as its general counsel. Fusion-io was founded by Rick White, currently its chief marketing officer, and David Flynn, Fusion's president and chief technology officer until very recently.
Don Basile went on to become the CEO of Violin Memory, which manufactures an externally-attached, multi-terabyte memory arrays: the 1010 Memory Appliance. This gels nicely with Fusion-io's offerings, as is can be attached to servers by the PCIe bus, the interconnect used by Fusion-io's server-hosted ioDrive line of products. These typically have capacities in the hundreds of gigabytes.
LSI has recently introduced product in the PCIe-connected server flash card area, using Seagate's Pulsar flash chips. Micron is also set on introducing a PCIe-connected flash product, and OCZ already does. The competition is picking up.
Bradford was responsible for the glamorous appointment of Steve Wozniak as chief scientist. Now he is going to concentrate on strengthening the board while Flynn takes over the running of the company. Oddly the CEO change happened under the covers because Fusion-io was going to reveal it next month in conjunction with other announcements. Currently the LinkedIn website has both Bradford and Flynn's entries saying they are both the CEO of Fusion. (Thanks to an eagle-eyed reader for spotting this.)
Rick White said: "[David Flynn] was moved into the office of CTO six months ago and took over the day-to-day running of the company. David Flynn was recommended by Bradford to become the CEO. The board went through a formal interview process and interviewed David Flynn and other [external] candidates and went for Flynn."
Bradford's tenure as CEO has seen the company build out its executive team with Dennis Wolf as the new chief financial officer, Jim Dawson as VP of sales, and others. Bradford's tenure as CEO has also seen Samsung grab a stake in the company and the involvement of Netscape founder Marc Andreessen.
The company's recent financial results have been sparkling and Bradford hands over on a high note. ®

Even though these wall (and floor!) prints are quite busy, the neutral color scheme in both allows them to be a bit less noticeable, so that you can layer the room in additional ways without it being too much.
Right now Anthropologie has a few great wallpapers that would help to create this kind of a look brilliantly: Painted Tulip Wallpaper, Block Begonia Wallpaper, and Watercolor Peony Wallpaper.

Josh.ribakoff necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 109 diseños de 31 diseñadores freelance.
I help people that sell automotive parts. These people are called automotive part retailers. The software that I write, helps these retailers help their customers to find the correct parts for the customer's vehicle.
Automotive retailers.
My website is http://www.vehiclefits.com - I want something done possibly within the automotive theme, or possibly just clean & simple. Either way I think I'd like there to be something more than just letters in my logo.
Please see the youtube video on my homepage, at the end of it where it lists my contact info and the red footage of the car plays in the background, I like the direction he went in with my video and I would like to incorporate that into the identity maybe.
Either way I just need something clean & powerful. You'll also notice my existing "ne8" logo, I like that logo. There should probably be something in the new logo that says "A division of Ne8".
Here's another idea. "Ne8. Formulate. Articulate". Or: "Ne8, Innovate." (I like the latter because it simpler).
Get really creative. Stay away from any single "vertical market" (ex. 12% sell wheels, 12% sell tires, 12% sell suspensions, and so on. So don't target any specific part). But bonus points if you break this rule and still design a kick ass logo. Here's another idea, what if there was little circles under the logo and each one masked out some small photo, to show that the software is made for varying "verticals" (suspension,wheels,rims,wheel adapters,tires,motorcycles,atvs)
An example of something I like is the 99designs logo. An example of what I don't like is google's logo. Too busy. Looks like the Olympic rings or something.
Here is inspiration: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNAL…1&index=18
Your logo will be at SEMA: http://www.google.com/images?q=sema…80&bih=831
