Custom High Voltage Suppressors
What are Hazardous Transient Threats?
A Hazardous Transient Threat is any unexpected or unanticipated change in voltage caused by an unpredictable and sometimes unprecedented occurrence. Very often it is a random electrical phenomenon, such as a high voltage or current pulse for a brief duration of time.
Electrostatic threats are categorized into four basic groups:
- NUCLEAR ELECTROMAGNETIC PULSE(NEMP)Transient
High Voltage Suppressors are designed to protect sensitive Electronic equipment during hazardous transient conditions. They are employed to absorb a potentially destructive overshoot voltage. Under normal voltage conditions, the suppressor circuit exhibits high off-state impedance and appear transparent to the circuits they protect. If a voltage exceeding the switching voltage is applied to the circuit, the suppressor circuit switches to very low impedance effectively shorting out the high voltage. The suppressor circuit will remain in the low impedance state until the current flowing through the suppressor is either interrupted or drops to a safe level. Once this occurs, the suppressor resets and returns to a high off-state impedance.
- Capacitance Rating: Typically less than 5pF per circuit.
- Clamping Voltage: Can be specified from 8 Volts to 700 Volts.
- Number of Circuits: Limited only by case size. Typically up to 50.
- Connections: MIL Circular 'D' Connector, Terminal Block, RJ connector, Terminal Lugs, etc.
- Mounting: Captive Nut Inserts, Locking Inserts, Flanges, etc.
- Dimensions: Typical TSE case is 3.5"x2.5"x2.5" but we will consider any case size and custom shapes.
- Manufactured to meet typical military environmental requirements.
8x20 µS. High Voltage, High Current Test.
Test Lab results of an 8x20µS. pulse with a Voltage of 5.6 kV and a Current of 3 kA.
Eight Circuit High Voltage Suppressor
A return lightning strike can contain currents in excess of 200,000 Amps. It can be stated, that "Lightning is predictably unpredictable". It will not only take the easiest path to ground, but it can take all available paths to ground as well.

I recommend Edwin Schklar
I was appointed by the Superior Court of Fulton Couty to act as a Special Master in a highly complex legal malpractice case in which Mr. Schklar represented a number of well-known VC firms. I had never met Mr. Schklar, so I did not know what to expect from him or his fairly small firm. I was, to say the least, pleasantly surprised. The level of thoughtful preparation evidenced by Mr. Schklar and everyone on his team was truly impressive. Although his firm was much smaller than those on the other side, Mr. Schklar and his team were never out-work or out-prepared.

Homemade Ice Cream Drumsticks-All on your own!
By: Kate Winninger
Makes: 9 Cones
Prep: 10 minutes
1. Take the cardboard egg carton and place upside down, so the mounds are facing up. Pop the bottom of the empty sugar cones through each mound. This will be your assembly base.
2. Shake the bottle of Magic Shell and drizzle contents into the cones and swirl to coat. *For a special treat, add a frozen blueberry or strawberries to the bottom of the cone. This also helps to avoid leakage.*
3. Place in freezer for 10 minutes. While waiting; take the ice cream out of the freezer to soften.
4. Take cones out of freezer. Wrap each cone in wax paper and cut tops to about 2" above the edge of the cone.
5. Fill the cones with the softened ice cream to within ½" of the wax paper. Return to freezer for 15 min or until frozen.
6. Once the ice cream has firmed, take out of freezer. Pour Magic Shell into a bowl for dipping. Gather the kids, and let each of them dip the top of their drum stick into the Magic Shell till the ice cream is covered. Then sprinkle on the desired toppings.
7. Enjoy! Mmmmm…

If you're computer isn't running, the Apple TV can still access any music you have in iTunes Match, or any movies and tv shows you previously purchased from iTunes. It can also access Netflix, Youtube, Podcasts, Photo Stream, the iTunes Movie Store and Flickr.

Yes, it can access any movies, TV shows and music that you have purchased on iTunes. Thanks to the 5.2 update Apple TV can access purchased iTunes music without having to subscribe to iTunes Match. It can also connect to Netflix, YouTube, Hulu and it allows you to check baseball, basketball, hockey and football score.

However, working in conjunction with Microsoft, Citrix has just posted a new blog entry which outlines how the two products continue to interoperate, bringing the best of both solutions together to maximize the customer management experience.
Microsoft also has a KB article and white paper on integrations between the two solutions:
KB931576 - How to publish a SoftGrid-enabled application in Citrix MetaFrame (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/931576)
Best Practices for Integrating Microsoft® SoftGrid® Application Virtualization with Terminal Services and Citrix® Presentation Server®:

About CEL-SCI:
CEL-SCI is dedicated to research and development directed at improving the treatment of cancer and other diseases by utilizing the immune system, the body's natural defense system. The lead investigational therapy is Multikine (Leukocyte Interleukin, Injection), currently being studied in a pivotal global Phase III clinical trial. CEL-SCI is also investigating a different peptide-based immunotherapy (LEAPS-H1N1-DC) as a possible treatment for H1N1 hospitalized patients and a vaccine (CEL-2000) for Rheumatoid Arthritis (currently in preclinical testing) using its LEAPS technology platform. The investigational immunotherapy LEAPS-H1N1-DC treatment involves non-changing regions of H1N1 Pandemic Flu (See Journal of Clinical Investigation - J Clin Invest. 2013; 123(7):2850-2861. doi: 10.1172/JCI67550) Avian Flu (H5N1), and the Spanish Flu, as CEL-SCI scientists are very concerned about the possible emergence of a new more virulent hybrid virus through the combination of H1N1 and Avian Flu, or maybe Spanish Flu. The Company has operations in Vienna, Virginia, and in/near Baltimore, Maryland.
Multikine is the trademark that CEL-SCI has registered for this investigational therapy, and this proprietary name is subject to FDA review in connection with its future anticipated regulatory submission for approval.

Catching Up With Katelan Foisy
Catching Up With Katelan Foisy
by Cary
This is your second appearance in fIXE Magazine, what was the reaction the first time?
The reaction was great. I was really honored to be featured with amazing people like Margaret Cho, Stoya, Stark Arts, and Lux Berlin. The biggest response was from people who knew me growing up. I was really awkward looking as a kid. I had frizzy hair, braces, and a face full of freckles. It wasn't until I was in my mid twenties that I started to grow into my look. Now people that I grew up with read the interviews and are flabbergasted that it's the same girl.
Your first interview is the #1 most popular on the site, to what do you attribute your popularity?
It's more like to whom. Warren Ellis posted a link on his website. Warren is like the nexus of the internet. He's introduced me to half the people I know, and if I didn't meet them through him or through his personal site, then it was through his message board Whitechapel. He has a way of bringing creatives together. I can't say enough good things about him. Other than that, maybe it was the red lipstick.
You've recently released a memoir called Blood and Pudding, can you tell us a little about it?
Blood and Pudding chronicles my teenage years with my cousin Holly and boyfriend Brian. It takes you into a world of obsessive-compulsive relationships, drug addiction, first loves, and untimely death. It is based on journals and microcassettes of road trips Holly and I kept during our friendship. We were obsessive about documenting everything and had a pact that if anything happened to either of us we'd finish the book for the other. I think that frantic need to document came from an inner feeling that something would happen. Unfortunately she died and I felt I owed it to her to finish the book. The book is hard to read at times, as it was hard to write. When you're a teenager, you are so vulnerable and don't even know it. Your emotions are at an all time high, your desire for recognition, and individuality are soaring. It's awkward, it's invigorating. It's the most intense time of your life and you have no idea where you are going, so you just go, no matter where that road takes you, you just go. My favorite review is from Dan Holloway at Eight Cuts.
"Blood and Pudding is a celebration of life and all that means. It deals with tragedy and fragility, using little more than the words of Katelan and her teenage best friend Holly, which Katelan obsessively recorded on their adventures. One of THE great accounts of teenage life. Best release of 2010 so far."
-Dan Holloway Eight Cuts
I started my book tour in the UK and Dan was really amazing at putting it all together. The London and Oxford audience was wonderful, open, and receptive. It was really the perfect place to start the tour. It was also where it was described as "Sid and Nancy meets On the Road" it's the perfect description.
What was the experience of putting Blood and Pudding together like?
Putting the book together was probably one of the most difficult experiences of my life. Not only backtracking and finding all the journals again, which were scattered around from moving so much, but also reliving through words the most painful moments of my life. I was terrified that people would judge me. I was terrified that old friends would hate more for keeping such huge secrets from them. I was terrified that people would call me a liar because I had kept everything so hush hush. If it wasn't for Jess Tilley, the woman the book is dedicated to coming forth and saying, "I remember all this, you guys confided in me." I might not have put it out at all. The scariest thing you can do is to open yourself up, and I did that taking a leap of faith that I would be understood; and that both Holly and Brian could be heard and understood. Really the book is a love letter to them. They were the greatest loves of my life. But I also know by writing this and releasing it that I was letting go. You have to let go in order to let new wonderful people and things in. While it's nice to reminisce, you can't live with ghosts and say it's the future. I needed to move on.
Can we expect to see more writing from you in the future?
I was going to take a break but recently I have been called to write a book on guerrilla self-promotion. So I'm putting together a proposal for that. Other than that I'm always writing on my blog and I'm currently pitching a few articles to some incredible publications.
You've also embarked on a long term cross media project with poet Mike Lala, can you describe it for us?
Basically it's as simple as words on flesh. I wanted to create a series of beautiful images combining poetry and photography. I wanted to depict beautiful moments, like viewing an incredibly intimate interaction between two people. I'm about creating worlds within worlds through art. I'm going to pull Mike in on this as well as his perspective on the project is different than mine but flows together so well.
Mike: Oh, I was thinking a lot about the poem as object, one which, visually has a form on the page and cognitively takes up some space, whatever space that is. I think then that the body and the poem become sort of cross-metaphors for each other in the photographs, one being fetishized or objectified for the way it looks, its form, and the other held in some impossibly high regard for the way it escapes its own form and accomplishes something beyond physicality. Whatever post you assign the one, blurs or inverts when looking at the photographs of both. Then of course there's the act of photographing the process of getting the poem on the body, and the photographer thrown into the mix, so you've got three people in a room playing with a lot of ideas. I don't really know what'll come of it.
You can find it at: http://lieandindite.tumblr.com/
What inspired this collaboration?
It started with this idea I had. I've always thought a man writing on woman was incredibly sexy and an art form itself. I didn't have anyone in mind and then I met Mike. The first time I heard his poetry I knew he was the person, so one day in Union Square Park I asked to see his handwriting. It was the perfect boy handwriting. I have this obsession with handwriting and his fit in with exactly what I was looking for. It took us a while to find photographers. At first I only wanted one friend to shoot it but as Mike and I started talking more, we realized this should be an ongoing project. We both thought it would be interesting to have a bunch of different photographers photograph it, each with their own perspective.
Mike: I think the ways my poems look when they're handwritten is, well, better than when they're typed up. They're more nuanced, more visual, and formatting things like spacing and indentation aren't standardized like they are on a computer. That and there's a topographical aspect of writing on a body, so the form of the poem is really determined by where I am writing on Katelan, rather than where I want to put stresses or line breaks, or where I want there to be blank spaces on the page.
How do you choose the photographers involved?
Mostly they are friends. I know an amazing amount of photographers in the city as well as out of. Sometimes I see their work and it just clicks. So I email them. That's how we got Balthazar. He had commented on one of my images and I had just been looking through his portfolio, so I emailed Mike and said, "what do you think about him?" Mike emailed me right away with a definite yes. From there we started a dialogue over email. Balthazar was heading into NYC so we booked the date, I found a sleazy motel and we went. The photos came out beautiful and we are so happy with the results.
Mike: Balthazar was great to work with. The place was the Elk Hotel—one of the last hourlys in Times Sq. We had four people carrying a bunch of bags with lights and other photo equipment, so they made us rent two rooms, though we said we only needed one. The two guys looked kind of freaked-out, and then really surprised when they came to tell us our time was up. They were expecting something different than a photoshoot, I'm sure.
You're also house mates with one of my favorite photographers Lux Berlin, what's it like when the two of you are together?
Basically it's like living with Dr. Seuss's Thing 1 and Thing 2 but scantily clad. We have a blast all the time. We're constantly creating, even if it's just with an iphone. There is never a dull moment because there is so much to do and make. We laugh and laugh and laugh. It's all about the joie de vivre with us. We have 5 minute dance parties in the morning and paint and photograph all evening. We have underwear parties, drench ourselves in electrical tape and take photos in the bathtub. It's magic.
You and Lux have also started an artist collective, can you describe it and your goals for it?
It's called "The Desert" and it's a collective under the guise of a cult. Basically it will be a place for artists of all kinds to promote their work. Each person will take an "official" cult photo and their only mission is to create. My friend and mega talent Jasen Rolfe is creating a tattoo for the cult. Tattoos can be temporary, permanent, stick and poke or imaginary.
We eventually want to work with galleries promoting the artists in the group.
Dan Holloway writes:
The desert is a place of testing, of aloneness – with God, with the Devil, with the sound of the wind and the silence of the endless white noise inside our heads stretching out like a drowning pool leaking to the horizon. It is a place of cleansing and rebirth, of desiccation, preservation, mirage and fire. It is the place where we encounter the Other, and the Self, the new, the eternally old, the broken and the healed. It is the outside, the strange, the empty embracing familiar, a place we run from, a place we run to, an endless drum that echoes the pulsebeat of our blood, calling. Calling. Calling.
From Into the Desert by Eight Cuts
How do you find the time and energy for all these different projects?
I live off coffee and barely sleep. I try to take it one day at a time and do one thing each day. I hate to be bored so by doing so many projects I'm constantly in that state of excitement. The best way to get a lot done is to just organize projects into priorities and do one thing that will help you attain your goal every day.
What advise would you have for someone who aspires to be a prolific creative force like yourself?
Do everything you're not supposed to do. Use social networking, create a world that you want to live in. If you're not happy with your surroundings, work towards changing them. Really it all comes down to believing you can do something and then just going for it. Fortune favors the bold. I had a basic idea of what I wanted and I fine tune it every day. The more focus you have, the better the chance of those goals manifesting.

Definition of 'Drop'
The difference in price between the front month and back month in a mortgage-backed security (MBS) dollar roll trade. A dollar roll is a popular type of trade in the MBS pass-through TBA market.
According to forward securities pricing theory, the front month price should be higher than the back month price. The drop is a function of current short-term interest rates, prepayment estimates, and the supply and demand for pass-throughs in the current delivery or front month. |
Investopedia explains 'Drop'
A pass-through TBA security is said to be trading through fail when the drop is larger than what it would cost a mortgage originator, investor or securities dealer to fail to deliver into a TBA contract for an entire month. When there is a shortage of supply or extreme demand for a TBA security in the current delivery month, the drop can increase to fail or larger, reflecting the fact that securities dealers would rather roll a trade out an additional month at a large drop or fail to deliver that security for an entire month than make delivery in the current month.

years, separated by lulls that last anywhere from about 2,000 to 8,000 years.
"This is clearly the most active of the major Cascade volcanoes; there's no doubt about that," says Clynne.
Most eruptions, he notes, are mild affairs more akin to the one that began in 2004, when molten rock oozed into the crater floor to heighten the lava dome that's rebuilding the peak.
But every once in a while, Mount St. Helens blows itself sky high.
The 1980 eruption started with a rumble, when a magnitude 5. 1 quake deep inside the volcano triggered the largest landslide ever witnessed. About 2. 5 cubic kilometers of the peak's northern flank — a snow-dappled slope that for weeks had been bulging outward a couple of meters more each day — sloughed away and raced downhill at speeds that may have exceeded 200 kilometers per hour.
The sudden release of pressure was like uncorking a bottle of champagne. The blast of hot, stone-filled wind that surged northward over the rugged, forested
terrain destroyed or damaged enough timber to build 150,000 wood-frame homes. The rock mixed with and melted snow and ice that had been carried from the peak, creating debris flows called lahars with the consistency of wet cement. As these lahars swept down rivers and streams, they scoured the sinuous, treelined waterways into straight-channeled, lifeless and sediment-choked torrents.
Material carried by the largest of these lahars, which flowed into the North Fork Toutle River valley just north of the volcano, buried a 60-square-kilometer area to an average depth of 45 meters and disrupted drainage patterns throughout the watershed. Heat from the volcanic ash in that freshly deposited blanket— a landscape that some scientists call "the pumice plain" — vaporized groundwater in the underlying soil, triggering blowouts of steam that excavated craters up to 400 meters across.
Some researchers feared the area north ofthe volcano would remain a sterile moon-scape for decades. But scientists studyingthe blast-seared zone north of the peakfound vegetation on the landslide withina few years, says Peter Frenzen, a U.S.Forest Service biologist at the Mount St.Helens National Volcanic Monument.

With all of the videos and blog posts claiming to reveal the secrets of viral video, it's amazing that the number of viral videos doesn't increase exponentially everyday. Tips run the gambit from plausible to absurd, but in general are opaque and a faith-based. If Harvard professor Thales Teixeira were a marketing blogger, he might be able to interject some pragmatism into the conversation.
Teixiera asserts that the number of online video advertisements that go viral is about .1%. By sheer volume we must assume that for general video content posted to sites like YouTube the percentage is infinitesimally smaller. For every advertisement that goes viral there are 999 that don't, as there are millions of stagnant videos for each viral (non-advertising) video. The odds are so astronomical that it makes a blog post claiming to share the secret quite (ahem) ambitious.
Professor Teixiera has developed a mechanism for ad video virality based upon research of people's responses to viral advertising ads. His insights may offer the best observations yet of what causes videos to be shared and consumed on a massive scale.
Two components of video virality
It seems obvious if you think about it, but Teixiera describes the virality process into two parts: consumption and sharing. What isn't as obvious is that the decision to watch a video is independent from the decision to share it.
Teixiera describes that 90% of viral ad video is humorous (he calls this "entertainment" video, with the other 10% labelled as "information"). He further labels the humor used into two types: typical and shocking. He discovered that people will watch each type of humor equally, but they will not share shocking humor anywhere near as much as typically humor.
Shock kills, at least so far as virality is concerned.
If you ever doubted Sally Hogshead when she asserts that we have nine-second attention spans, never doubt her again.
Professor Teixiera asserts as much. In order to have viewers watch a video to completion, it has to immediately draw them in with a humor element, and then take it away. Why take it away? Because it turns out that we adapt to the joy caused by the humor and can actually get bored by persistent humor.
This is not unique to video content. Michael Laskow of Taxi Music lamented in one of his videos that he used to mix down twenty-some tracks for popular music, and now engineers mix hundreds of tracks to make just one song. The reason that they do this is to change the elements of the music several times during the song to keep listeners interested. Listen to any current popular music and you'll hear it. Darn attention spans!
Teixiera also states that you have to reintroduce the humor (and take it away) throughout the video in order to keep viewer interest.
One other note, Teixiera comments that viewers are very turned off by conspicuous branding and it's probably good to note that this tactic actually diminishes trust for online videos.
Why we share
The final insight that Teixiera offers may be important to content marketers beyond online video.
In circumstances where users watched a video to completion and shared it with a broad audience, their motivation was selfish (for the most part). Teixiera says that the desire to build social capital through sharing new or interesting content was a far more prevalent motivation to share than altruism.
What do you think? Are Professor Teixiera's research observations consistent with what you've observed with viral videos?
For more information please check out the embedded videos of Professor Teixiera describing his observations in greater detail.

Software Evolution: An Empirical Study of Mozilla Firefox
-Anita Ganpati,Dr. Arvind Kalia,Dr. Hardeep Singh Abstract
The changes to software are inevitable as new requirements emerge with the use of the software. The change is necessary in terms of correcting errors, improving the performance and reliability of the system. The changes corresponding to corrective, preventive, adaptive and perfective maintenance leads to evolution of software. Software product is an evolving entity which starts with an initial implementation of a set of requirements and from then onwards software undergoes frequent modifications generally for the purpose of increasing its functionality, performance or in order to adapt to a changed environment. Software evolution refers to the phenomenon of software change and growth. The environment where software has to operate changes over time and software itself must adapt to this changing environment. The software does not change by itself but changed by the development and maintenance teams. In this study the evolution of Mozilla Firefox Open Source Software (OSS) was analysed empirically on latest fifty versions. The applicability of Lehman's Law of software evolution was investigated on Mozilla Firefox using different software metrics. The Resource Standard Metrics (RSM) software metrics tool was used to get the values of the size and complexity measures of the software. It is evident from the results of the study that the evolution of the Mozilla Firefox for the latest fifty versions was in accordance with Lehman's laws of continuing change, increasing complexity, continuing growth and declining quality

Performance Overview of Image Fusion Techniques -Sachin A. Sonawane,Shashikant S. Patil Abstract
In Multi-focus image fusion, multiple partially defocused images are combined into a new image with all the interested objects focused. Various techniques of Multi-focus image fusion already exist and still researchers in the area are introducing new algorithms for improved results. Different parameters like PSNR, Entropy can be used to evaluate the performance of these algorithms. In this paper we compute and evaluate performance measures for some of the techniques like Discrete Wavelet Transform, Simple Average Method, and Select Maximum etc. The comparative statement based on the evaluation of experimental results certainly helps to select a particular fusion method. Generally performance measures are dependent on defocused area of the image and size of input images is the major consideration in computation. Artificially defocused images are utilized for experiment purpose.

Modeling and Simulation of Data Encryption Standard Algorithm on FPGA -Shivangi Vajpayee, Rajesh Rai Abstract
In this paper we demonstrate an efficient and compact reconfigurable hardware implementation of the Data Encryption Standard (DES) algorithm. Our design was implemented on FPGA of device VirtexEXCV400e. As a strategy to reduce the associated design critical path, we utilized a parallel structure that allowed us to compute all the eight DES S-boxes simultaneously. Our DES round design achieved a data encryption/decryption rate of 274 Mbits/s occupying only 117 CLB slices. These results are quite competitive when compared with other reported reconfigurable hardware implementations of DES.

Robust Watermarking Scheme for Quality Loss of Data -Chirag Sharma,Anshu Sharma,Shilpa Sharma Abstract
Watermarking is a technique of embedding hidden and unnoticeable signal into an image in the form of text and image so that even if unauthorized person tries to access and use it illegally, he could be caught on the basis of Copyright Protection and Ownership Identification. There are 2 methods that can be followed to embed a watermark in an image: Visible Watermarking and Invisible Watermarking. Visible Watermarking is used to display the watermark inside the image so that intruder can't use it unless he has copyrights for that image. Invisible Watermarking hides watermark from the intruder so that he can be caught on the basis of Copyright Protection. Quality loss is the major issue in Watermarking. Embedding watermark inside the image can degrade the quality of watermarked image. In this paper we are going to present a technique that can reduce less amount of quality after the insertion of watermark in both visible and invisible watermarking methods. The implementation of Visible and Invisible Watermarking methods is realized with the help of MATLAB. Results are taken by calculation of PSNR values of Watermarked images after applying various attacks on Watermarked image to check the efficiency of Watermarking

Prediction tool for Crime Analysis -Priyanka Pitale,Asha Ambhaikar Abstract
Regression is one of a powerful tool for predicting the future values based on previous data sets. The use of prediction in crime analysis can make crime free region.. The proposed technique can predict those regions which are sensitive to criminal activities like theft, murder, rape, Anti-social behaviour, Domestic violence etc. The scheme uses the data sets taken from the local police stations and can be used to predict the number of criminal activities in future. The data will then supplied with other factors like population, month and year to the regression model which will predict the future value for the criminal activities. This predicted number of activities will indicate that the region is high sensitive or low sensitive. If the predicted number will be high then the region is high sensitive and if low then the region is low sensitive

Fingerprint Image Enhancement using Wavelet over Gabor filters -T. Vidhya,T. K. Thivakaran Abstract
Fingerprint identification is one of the most popular biometric technologies and is used in criminal investigations, commercial applications, and so on. The performance of a fingerprint image-matching algorithm depends heavily on the quality of the input fingerprint images. It is very important to acquire good quality images but in practice a significant percentage of acquired images is of poor quality due to some environmental factors or user's body condition. Therefore, an image enhancement algorithm is necessary to increase the performance of the minutiae extraction algorithm. The traditional approach is based on Gabor filter, which is the most common approach used in the fingerprint image enhancement. The proposed approach deals with the wavelet denoising which enhances the fingerprint image by reducing noise and selecting threshold values by the computation of discrete wavelet transform, and thus comparing the performance of the traditional and proposed approach.

An Efficient IRIS Recognition System -Prashant Sarode Abstract
The human iris, an annular part between the pupil and the white sclera is emerging as a highly reliable biometric trait for personal identification. Although the area of the iris is small it has enormous pattern variability which makes it unique for every person and hence leads to high reliability. Modern cameras that are used for acquiring iris are less intrusive compared to earlier iris scanning devices and public awareness of system reliability and difficulty to circumvent is developing. An iris has a mesh like texture to it, with numerous overlays and patterns. Basically, iris recognition system comprises of four main modules: Image Acquisition, Preprocessing, Feature Extraction and Pattern Matching. Firstly an image containing the users eye is captured by the system. Then the image is preprocessed. Thirdly, features representing the iris patterns are extracted. Finally, decision is made by means of matching

Automated Inspection of Defects in Glass by proper Color space selection and Segmentation Technique of Digital Image processing -Nishu,Sunil Agrawal Abstract
Glass defects which result into poor quality are a major reason of embarrassment for manufacturers. It is an extremely tedious process to manually inspect very large size glasses. The manual inspection process is slow, time-consuming and prone to human error. Automatic inspection systems using image processing can overcome many of these disadvantages and offer manufacturers an opportunity to significantly improve quality and reduce costs. In this paper we propose an evaluation system for detection of various glass defects like scratches, inclusions, surface defects etc. The process involves the color space selection and a segmentation technique often used in medical imaging has been tested for detection of various defects in glass. The color space conversion helps in the selection of best color space for quantifying the visibility of the defects while the segmentation algorithm involves the use of contour method based on intensity inhomogeneities.

Image Encryption using Blowfish and Genetic Algorithm -Varsha Nemade,Prof.R.B.Wagh Abstract
Today in the world of Internet information security is more important. Encryption is the technique by which readable information is converted into unreadable form. This is the useful technique to avoid unauthorized access. In the area of multimedia, an image has become important medium of communication, they are used in many fields such as medical science, military; they are stored or transfer through network, security of such image data is important. Text encryption algorithms which have been already developed are not suitable for the image encryption, because image containing large amount of data means it contains number of pixels. Image encryption techniques decrease the correlation among the pixels, so that we will get lower correlation among the pixel and get the encrypted image. In this paper one of the method proposed for image encryption in which first blowfish encryption is applied and then on the result chaotic function is applied to generate number of encrypted images after that genetic algorithm is applied to get the optimized result.

A Noval Approach of AODV for Stability and Energy Efficient Routing for MANET using IPV6 -Shival Chadda,Mritunjay Kumar Rai Abstract
In a mobile ad hoc network (MANET), the topology of the network may change rapidly and unexpectedly due to mobility of nodes. Thus, setting up routes that meet high reliability is a very challenging issue. Another important problem in the MANETs is the energy consumption of nodes. This paper presents experiments on the performance and stability of the AODV protocol (Ad hoc On-demand Distance Vector protocol) in multi-hop ad hoc networks. We study the network performance such as throughput, delivery ratio, and end-to end delay. After this experimental study of the problems that may arise in this type of communication and its origins, we conclude that better performance is possible with the modification of some of the protocol´s parameters, without modifying the protocol algorithm. Applying these changes, experimental tests show an improvement in the performance of the protocol.

A Proposed Service Broker Policy for Data Center Selection in Cloud Environment with Implementation -Dhaval Limbani, Bhavesh Oza Abstract
Cloud Services may be offered as public or private or combined. There is the demand of timely, repeatable, and controllable methodologies for evaluation of algorithms, applications, and policies before actual development of cloud products. Using simulation, we can study the behavior of them in cloud environment. Cloud-Analyst, the Cloud-Sim based tool, is useful to model and analyze cloud computing environment and applications. The simulator uses different algorithms (Service Broker Algorithms, Load balancing algorithms etc) and generates report as per configuration. With the help of simulation report, we can modify the cloud environment as per requirement. The service proximity based routing policy used in the simulator selects data center from the earliest region to route the user requests. When there is the situation to select one data center from those with same region, the policy selects data-center randomly without considering cost-effectiveness or other parameters. We have proposed the extended service proximity based routing policy. Using proposed policy, we can have cost effective routing of user requests to the data center than in the original one. And thus, some of the research issues related to cost can be explored

Logistic Model Tree With Modified AIC -Mitesh J. Thakkar, Neha J. Thakkar, Dr. J.S.Shah Abstract
Logistic Model Trees have been shown to be very accurate and compact classifiers. Their greatest disadvantage is the computational complexity of inducing the logistic regression models in the tree. This issue is addressed by using the modified AIC criterion instead of crossvalidation to prevent overfitting these models. In addition, to fill the missing values, mean and mode are used class wise for numeric and nominal attributes respectively. The comparison of training time and accuracy of the new induction process with the original one on various datasets and show that the training time often decreases and the classification accuracy also increase slightly.

Comment: Re:Wow (Score 1) 190
There are plenty of opportunities for people to race sailboats that are less about money. There are small strict one design classes where the boats are relatively inexpensive and from a performance perspective pretty much identical to each other when new or at least well taken care of. Modifications that can be made are severely restricted.
In fact if you just want to crew you can often do it for free if you live somewhere near where they race boats. Depending on the size of the boat and the seriousness of the competition, they will take people with no experience at all.

I've been through it several times now, not my favorite experience. 70 Audi inexplicably had a caliper break, such that the seal pushed out of the cavity.

I didn't notice the brakes didn't work until after I was going downhill into an underground parking garage with no outlet. Did everything I knew to stop, including literally dragging my feet ... still hit the wall at the end hard enough to push the front apron back into the radiator. The car wound up getting crushed (but that's another story). I've become rather religious about making sure the handbrake is in A-1 condition. 71 Stag literally on the way to the shop to have (among other things) the MC rebuilt. Total failure of both hydraulic systems, followed by the handbrake fading into uselessness. Fortunately there was no one coming when I sailed across the intersection off of the I-10 freeway. Only casualty was the bent handbrake lever (it's amazing how strong sheer panic can make one <G>) Randall

Got nailed – golf tee shot gone bad
Last week I was assigned to go out of town with three sports reporters for an overnight trip about golf. I really really really hate golf! So when I was told we were going to spend the the night in Montpelier, Idaho and spend the next day following the trio as they golfed four courses in four different states ( Idaho, Wyoming, Utah and Nevada) in one day … I wasn't exactly impressed. But I have a job, what more can I ask for. I got this little gem of video as we were golfing at Purple Sage golf course in Evanston, Wyoming. I looked up just in time and was able to move just a bit to avoid a direct hit. I still took a fair shot to my calf.
3 Responses to "Got nailed – golf tee shot gone bad"
The morale of the story is to stick to skiing/snowboarding…its safer! (obviously this guy was no Tiger Woods, eh?)
I know how you feel. Almost took a shot to the head (felt the breeze as the ball passed over) years ago at a high school golf meet. I was lying flat on the ground, it looks like in almost the same position you were in. The little chickie had the gall to p.o'd. at ME for getting in the way of her shot!! Seriusly
Oh dude!, Granted I'm laughing but that hurts like hell I know. See ya next month at the UNPA gig hopefully.
