Full Title
Field Museum of Natural History (Zoology) Invertebrate Collection
Established in 1938, the Division of Invertebrates is in charge of all invertebrate groups except insects and other non-marine arthropods. The first curator of this Division was Fritz Haas, formerly of the Senckenberg Museum in Frankfurt, Germany. Haas (1938 - 1969) and his successor Alan Solem (1957 - 1990) built massive mollusk collections, particularly strong in unionid bivalves and terrestrial snails, reflecting their respective research interests. Current curators Rüdiger Bieler (1990 -) and Janet Voight (1990 -) focus their research and collection-building on marine molluscan groups. The varied curatorial research interests, the collecting efforts of past and present collections managers (e.g., John Slapcinsky and Jochen Gerber), and acquisitions of private collections and "orphan collections"

Anna Nicole Smith: Movie Star |
Anna Nicole's last film was "Illegal Aliens." David Giancola directed that ill fated film and made a documentary about his insane experience. David and I talk via Skype about making both "Illegal Aliens" and the documentary "Addicted To Fame." We also talk about making films in Vermont, shooting bar mitzvahs, using media and being used by media and what Howard K. Stern is really like.
And oh yeah, David's first film "Time Chasers" is a MST3K staple.
Plus local rock legend: Johnny Azer. He's great. I booked him on a TV show 10 years ago. He was great. His YOUTUBE video is at the bottom of the page.
From their official website: "ADDICTED TO FAME" is the hilarious, outrageous, and ultimately tragic true story of one filmmaker's journey from obscurity to moral blindness in the seductive glare of the media spotlight. Director DAVID GIANCOLA wanted to break out by making a "Movie that mocked B-Movies". He thought he could manipulate the media by casting ANNA NICOLE SMITH. In the end the media manipulated him instead as his star and one of his Producers died in a media feeding frenzy. The film bombed but the story was the most reported event of 2007 - behind only coverage of the Iraq war. The truth is always stranger and more unbelievable than fiction...

ADDUSER(8) MidnightBSD System Manager's Manual ADDUSER(8)
adduser — command for adding new users
adduser [−CDENShq] [−G groups] [−L login_class] [−d partition] [−f file] [−g login_group] [−k dotdir] [−m message_file] [−s shell] [−u uid_start] [−w type]
The adduser utility is a shell script, implemented around the pw(8) command, for adding new users. It creates passwd/group entries, a home directory, copies dotfiles and sends the new user a welcome message. It supports two modes of operation. It may be used interactively at the command line to add one user at a time, or it may be directed to get the list of new users from a file and operate in batch mode without requiring any user interaction.
Login name. The user name is restricted to whatever pw(8) will accept. Generally this means it may contain only lowercase characters or digits but cannot begin with the '-' character. Maximum length is 16 characters. The reasons for this limit are historical. Given that people have traditionally wanted to break this limit for aesthetic reasons, it has never been of great importance to break such a basic fundamental parameter in UNIX. You can change UT_NAMESIZE in <utmp.h> and recompile the world; people have done this and it works, but you will have problems with any precompiled programs, or source that assumes the 8-character name limit, such as NIS. The NIS protocol mandates an 8-character username. If you need a longer login name for e-mail addresses, you can define an alias in /etc/mail/aliases.
full name
This is typically known as the gecos field and usually contains the user's full name. Additionally, it may contain a comma separated list of values such as office number and work and home phones. If the name contains an ampersand it will be replaced by the capitalized login name when displayed by other programs. The ':' character is not allowed.
Unless the −S argument is supplied only valid shells from the shell database (/etc/shells) are allowed. In addition, either the base name or the full path of the shell may be supplied.
Automatically generated or your choice. It must be less than 32000.
GID/login group
Automatically generated or your choice. It must be less than 32000.
You may choose an empty password, disable the password, use a randomly generated password or specify your own plaintext password, which will be encrypted before being stored in the user database.
Perhaps you are missing what can be done with this scheme that falls apart with most other schemes. With each user in their own group, they can safely run with a umask of 002 instead of the usual 022 and create files in their home directory without worrying about others being able to change them.
For a shared area you create a separate UID/GID (like cvs or ncvs on freefall), you place each person that should be able to access this area into that new group.
This model of UID/GID administration allows far greater flexibility than lumping users into groups and having to muck with the umask when working in a shared area.
I have been using this model for almost 10 years and found that it works for most situations, and has never gotten in the way. (Rod Grimes)
The adduser utility reads its configuration information from /etc/adduser.conf. If this file does not exist, it will use predefined defaults. While this file may be edited by hand, the safer option is to use the −C command line argument. With this argument, adduser will start interactive input, save the answers to its prompts in /etc/adduser.conf, and promptly exit without modifying the user database. Options specified on the command line will take precedence over any values saved in this file.
Create new configuration file and exit. This option is mutually exclusive with the −f option.
−d partition
Home partition. Default partition, under which all user directories will be located. The /nonexistent partition is considered special. The adduser script will not create and populate a home directory by that name. Otherwise, by default it attempts to create a home directory.
Do not attempt to create the home directory.
Disable the account. This option will lock the account by prepending the string ''*LOCKED*'' to the password field. The account may be unlocked by the super-user with the pw(8) command:
pw unlock [name | uid]
−f file
Get the list of accounts to create from file. If file is ''−'', then get the list from standard input. If this option is specified, adduser will operate in batch mode and will not seek any user input. If an error is encountered while processing an account, it will write a message to standard error and move to the next account. The format of the input file is described below.
−g login_group
Normally, if no login group is specified, it is assumed to be the same as the username. This option makes login_group the default.
−G groups
Space-separated list of additional groups. This option allows the user to specify additional groups to add users to. The user is a member of these groups in addition to their login group.
Print a summary of options and exit.
−k directory
Copy files from directory into the home directory of new users; dot.foo will be renamed to .foo.
−L login_class
Set default login class.
−m file
Send new users a welcome message from file. Specifying a value of no for file causes no message to be sent to new users. Please note that the message file can reference the internal variables of the adduser script.
Do not read the default configuration file.
Minimal user feedback. In particular, the random password will not be echoed to standard output.
−s shell
Default shell for new users. The shell argument may be the base name of the shell or the full path. Unless the −S argument is supplied the shell must exist in /etc/shells or be the special shell nologin to be considered a valid shell.
The existence or validity of the specified shell will not be checked.
−u uid
Use UIDs from uid on up.
−w type
Password type. The adduser utility allows the user to specify what type of password to create. The type argument may have one of the following values:
Disable the password. Instead of an encrypted string, the password field will contain a single '*' character. The user may not log in until the super-user manually enables the password.
Use an empty string as the password.
Use a user-supplied string as the password. In interactive mode, the user will be prompted for the password. In batch mode, the last (10th) field in the line is assumed to be the password.
Generate a random string and use it as a password. The password will be echoed to standard output. In addition, it will be available for inclusion in the message file in the randompass variable.
When the −f option is used, the account information must be stored in a specific format. All empty lines or lines beginning with a '#' will be ignored. All other lines must contain ten colon (':') separated fields as described below. Command line options do not take precedence over values in the fields. Only the password field may contain a ':' character as part of the string.
Login name. This field may not be empty.
Numeric login user ID. If this field is left empty, it will be automatically generated.
Numeric primary group ID. If this field is left empty, a group with the same name as the user name will be created and its GID will be used instead.
Login class. This field may be left empty.
Password ageing. This field denotes the password change date for the account. The format of this field is the same as the format of the −p argument to pw(8). It may be dd-mmm-yy[yy], where dd is for the day, mmm is for the month in numeric or alphabetical format: ''10'' or ''Oct'', and yy[yy] is the four or two digit year. To denote a time relative to the current date the format is: +n[mhdwoy], where n denotes a number, followed by the minutes, hours, days, weeks, months or years after which the password must be changed. This field may be left empty to turn it off.
Account expiration. This field denotes the expiry date of the account. The account may not be used after the specified date. The format of this field is the same as that for password ageing. This field may be left empty to turn it off.
Full name and other extra information about the user.
Home directory. If this field is left empty, it will be automatically created by appending the username to the home partition. The /nonexistent home directory is considered special and is understood to mean that no home directory is to be created for the user.
Login shell. This field should contain either the base name or the full path to a valid login shell.
User password. This field should contain a plaintext string, which will be encrypted before being placed in the user database. If the password type is yes and this field is empty, it is assumed the account will have an empty password. If the password type is random and this field is not empty, its contents will be used as a password. This field will be ignored if the −p option is used with a no or none argument. Be careful not to terminate this field with a closing ':' because it will be treated as part of the password.

The adduser command appeared in FreeBSD 2.1.
This manual page and the original script, in Perl, was written by Wolfram Schneider 〈firstname.lastname@example.com〉. The replacement script, written as a Bourne shell script with some enhancements, and the man page modification that came with it were done by Mike Makonnen 〈email@example.com〉.
In order for adduser to correctly expand variables such as $username and $randompass in the message sent to new users, it must let the shell evaluate each line of the message file. This means that shell commands can also be embedded in the message file. The adduser utility attempts to mitigate the possibility of an attacker using this feature by refusing to evaluate the file if it is not owned and writable only by the root user. In addition, shell special characters and operators will have to be escaped when used in the message file.
Also, password ageing and account expiry times are currently settable only in batch mode or when specified in /etc/adduser.conf. The user should be able to set them in interactive mode as well.

We went to the gym today to workout with Lily who showed us all of her favorite exercises. She was wearing a small cut off top that her boobs were busting out of and booty shorts which didn't cover much of her nice round ass. It was an amazing sight watching her do squats, pushups and then bench presses. Soon after worshiping her perfectly fit physique, Jmac whipped out his schlong and laid it over the barbell for Lilly to slob on. He then fucked her on the workout bench and all over the gym. Before their workout session ended, he shot his load all over her big titties.

Many of us in the U.S. think Cinco de Mayo is a day to squeeze lime into your beer, eat something spicy, and say "Hola!" to everyone you meet.
Others mistake the holiday for Mexican Independence Day, which it's not. Cinco de Mayo celebrates an 1862 victory over the French in the Battle of Puebla. Even 146 years later, Mexico is still showing the world its strength and resilience, but this time using pesos in place of pistolas.
Mexico's economy has been absolutely en fuego, and investors in the iShares MSCI Mexico Index (NYSE: EWW ) have enjoyed an annualized gain of 17% over the past 10 years. In the past year, however, this ETF's chart has gone horizontal, so I'm turning to the collective wisdom of the Motley Fool CAPS community for its perspective on whether further gains are irons in the fire for Mexico's hottest stocks.
Categories of stocks in the CAPS database are very easy to search using tags, and the Mexico tag contains 24 listings. Of these, 14 have received the highest possible rating by CAPS players, earning cinco stars. Let's take a look at a few of these picks.

Reach out and touch someone
America Movil, which comprises 25% of holdings in the Mexico ETF, is the most beloved of Mexican companies within CAPS. Of the All-Star players, 594 expect shares to outperform the S&P 500, and only four take the dissenting view. After delighting shareholders with an 917% return over the past five years, the stock's popularity comes as no surprise.
Top-rated CAPS All-Star Madmykl, who has a rating of 99.82, had nothing but praise for the telecom giant. He wrote this bullish pitch a week after last year's Cinco de Mayo:
[America Movil] is a HUGE Mexican company, owned by the second richest guy in the world. Its day-to-day operations are already run by his sons, however, so if something happened to him the show would go on. ... A 5-fold increase over the next 5 years would not surprise me in the least. So here it is ... a safe, large company, growing in a fast but sustainable manner, the owner has billions of his own dollars in the company, and its priced about half of what your average ho-hum 30% growth company should be. Good stuff.
Like a rock
Although down more than 30% from the 52-week high, shares of cement maker Cemex have exhibited resilience in the face of a building downturn in the U.S. and the nationalization of its Venezuelan assets by Hugo Chavez.
CAPS player Bruce1967, one of CAPS' "most helpful" pitchers, saw deep value in Cemex shares early this year:
Over the last 5 years, book value has grown at an annual rate of about 17 percent and Valueline figures it should continue to grow at about 13 percent. If this all pans out, and you buy the shares at $25, your investment should grow at about 13 percent for the next five years. Add in a 3% annual dividend and you're looking at a pretty decent return of 15 to 16%. Sometime in the next 5 years, If Mr. Market returns to a more optimistic state of mind, he might offer to buy your shares for 1.5 times book, in which case your return would jump to about 24%. At that rate you would double your money in about 3 years. Warren would be so proud of us!
The shares haven't risen that much since then. Fool contributor David Lee Smith agrees and recently encouraged Fools to load up on Cemex shares.
Whether you're considering a single company or a basket of shares through the ETF, there's no denying the growth story that lies just south of the border. With the overwhelming majority of CAPS players lining up behind these companies, I like the odds for continued growth going forward. Ole!
If you like the idea of a free online community where investors help each other identify great stocks and exchange ideas, then come on in and join the fun!
Cemex is both a Stock Advisor and Global Gains recommendation, and The Motley Fool owns shares. Grupo Aeroportuario Centro Norte is also a Global Gains pick. For more international investing ideas, try it free for 30 days.
Fool contributor Christopher Barker captains yachts and writes about stocks. He can also be found acting foolishly within the CAPS community under the username Sinchiruna. He owns no shares in the companies mentioned. The Motley Fool has a disclosure policy.

As authorities in London struggle to regain control after three days of rioting and looting following a controversial police shooting, at least one official is calling for a temporary shutdown of BlackBerry service, to prevent participants from instant-messaging their plans to each other and circumventing police.
However, the messages, which are being forwarded to authorities by some who receive them, are also useful to police and likely will eventually help authorities track down the culprits, according to Bloomberg.
Facebook and Twitter posts also have played a role in the situation, for good and for bad. On the positive side, some are using social media to coordinate clean-up efforts in London, notes the Technology Live page of USA Today.
And police are using social media to reassure residents, reports the Gazette.
However, some teens may not realize how seriously authorities are taking words that could incite violence, Chief Superintendent Karen Manners of the Hampshire police department tells the newspaper.
"If you are publishing messages encouraging violence, you need to know you can expect a visit from the police," she says. "We would ask parents also to help us keep communities safe by making sure you know what your children are doing online. Please be vigilant and help us to put an end to this."
A "Catch a Looter" page on the Tumbler blogging platform features photos of apparent crimes in progress, seemingly in the hope that this will help identify the culprits, points out PC World.
The problem is, Internet messages tend to be more effective in organizing the flash mobs that can quickly wreak havoc than in helping authorities contain them.
"In an age of social media in which disgruntled youth are frequently more skilled with smart phones than are the adults who police them, London authorities believe handheld technologies may have helped those trying to instigate violence to spread their message," writes Time.
Although not as extensive as the rioting in London, which reportedly is the worst in decades, similar groups have done damage in various cities throughout the United States, notes the Associated Press.
Deluged with an ocean of material that needs to be sorted through and responded to quickly in order to control such violence, "We need to be able to get better on the intelligence side to pick up on communications that are going on," said Capt. Jon Peters of the Los Angeles police.
At last report, some 16,000 police had flooded London in an effort to control what is going on in the UK's capital, according to the Telegraph.
The BBC News and the Daily Mail are among the publications that also have stories.

I think some of the younger actors are beginning to expect Tom and I will break into our rhythms and be the Bosom Buddies, says Peter Scolari, 57, referring to the 80s sitcom in which he starred with Tom Hanks. Today, the buddies are on Broadway in Lucky Guy. Though Scolari, who also plays Hannahs father on HBOs Girls, is a stage vet Im never more comfortable than when theres a full house, he says its Hanks Broadway debut. One of the things I love about Tom is that if the stakes are raised, he anticipates rising to the challenge.

ImageGoogle Books has been a saviour to students and ordinary citizens alike for years, but has not been met without great controversy over issues of copyright and intellectual property rights.
Many groups and individuals have attempted to bring legal action against Google for their use of widespread "snippets of copyrighted work" and "massive copyright infringement".
One of the major issues is, while Google in some cases provides no content available in books, it has scanned and made searchable millions of books for which many argue it has no right to do so.
Only recently, three top French publishers say they will sue Google for scanning and applying search technologies to their books and content "without permission".

The 26-year-old is one of the midfield mainstays of the senior national team. The central midfielder is versatile due to his ability to be a left winger at times. His foot produces powerful pile drivers and professional free kicks that result in important goals for his side.
Muntari came into the limelight during the 2001 FIFA World Youth Championship in Argentina. He is also a product of Liberty Professionals, a club that have carved a niche for themselves in fine tuning raw materials into productive footballers. The left-footer became a regular member of Ghana's U-20 team at the age of 16 as they finished runners-up at the 2001 FIFA World Youth Championship.
The Ghanaian international impressed during a trial session with top English club Manchester United but opted for Udinese in Italy.
Despite his intermittent brushes with football authorities both at the national and club levels, the Inter ace has remained a regular for the Black Stars and his team. He will be remembered for his refusal to apologise to coach Milovan Rajevac for skipping an international friendly against Angola in 2009 without permission. He was dropped from the squad to the last Nations Cup and made a return to the team after patching things up with the coach again.
Sulley has played for Liberty Professionals in Ghana, Udinese in Italy and Portsmouth in England.
Did you know?
Sulley was selected for the Olympic side at Athens 2004, but was sent home for disciplinary reasons.

Traffic congestion experts have long warned that pollution caused by idling vehicles on crowded roads was harming Americans' health.

Freeway Air Pollution = Bad
2 comments:
I brought this up last fall. Last summer we were pretty "soc'd" in by May Haze, June Gloom, and July??? I thought my plants had a black disease but then I noticed that my glass patio table was coated in a black greasy film, as well as my grand daughters toys and scooters, I realized this was the pollution from the I-5 being trapped in the Marine Layer and settling on everything (It stained the plastic toys). I'm west of the 101. It was quite disturbing to realize this is what's in the air we breath. I don't know the solution... but, I concluded we need to widen the I-5 to prevent cars from idling and moving them through our area faster. With the widening at Solona Beach a new bottleneck was created at Manchester past Encinitas Blvd. It's bad!
Thank you for posting on the Leucadia Blog.

Members of the Committee visited five manufacturing companies now
using computer-aided des ign and computer-aided manufacturing sys t ems .
These companies have all been leaders in using computerized automation
and were in the process of integrating existing capabilities or
implementing new integrated systems. The site visits were designed to
gain a better understanding of data requirements, data flow, and
linkage problems associated with these systems.
The companies visited were McDonnell Aircraft Company, Deere &
Company, Westinghouse Defense and Electronics Center, General Motors
Corporation, and Ingersoll Milling Machine Company. They were chosen
to represent leaders in computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM) in a
variety of industries, both defense and commercial, large and smaller
companies, with product lot sizes ranging from one to many. There
are, of course, other companies that have been leaders in the use of
CIM, but the experience of these five companies covers a variety of
products, company sizes, and corporate styles.
The Committee also met with the managers of the three major
government programs that relate to computer-integrated manufacturing:
the NASA/Navy Integrated Program for Aerospace Vehicle Design (IPAD);
the Air Force's Integrated Computer-Aided Manufacturing (ICAM)
program; and the National Bureau of Standards ' Automated Manufacturing
Research Facility (AMRF).
This chapter summarizes the information that the Committee
collected as a result of its talks with industrial and federal
managers. The results of the interviews are reflected in a broader
context in Chapter 3.
The companies visited agreed with the Committee's definition
of computer-integrated manufacturing. As stated in Chapter l, a
manufacturing enterprise can be said to be integrated when:
� all the processing functions and related managerial functions
are expressed in the form of data,
OCR for page 14
� these data are in a form that may be generated, transformed,
used, moved and stored by computer technology, and
� these data move freely between functions in the system
throughout the life of the product,
with the objective that the enterprise as a whole have the information
needed to operate at maximum effectiveness.
The companies stressed the participation of people in
integration. They view CIM as a combination of computer-based data,
automation, and people working harmoniously at, a high level of
effectiveness at all times. People are an important part of the
system, which should be recognized in any definition of CIM.
The companies also spoke about CIM as involving continual f low
of information among the several functions, such as that shown in
Figure 1 of Chapter 1. Such a flow is required whether the integra-
tion of functions is occurring manually among people, automated via
computer systems, or by a combination of the two .
Each company visited viewed its business from both global and
domes tic perspectives and considered integration technology a primary
need for supporting its business strategy. They all cited competition
from foreign nations and a need to improve responsiveness to meet
worldwide demand as a major strategic issue and incentive for CIM.
One company noted that it was continually forced to improve on its own
technology, which was being exported through offshore sales and
through offset agreements that require production of parts and
assemblies by foreign manufacturers. Demand for quality and
responsiveness in the U.S. marketplace was another incentive. Each of
these leading companies introduced computer integration only after
serious consideration of the resources required, the risks, and the
expected benefits.
The efforts in these companies focused on improving the
information flow within the factory and particularly between the
engineering design and production functions. The companies
capitalized on the capabilities of computers to improve communication
and control of the enterprise. The managers interviewed remain
unsatisfied with the adequacy and timeliness of the information flow
and believe that improvement in data communication will further
improve corporate productivity and product quality.
Long-Range Planning
Each of the five companies has a formal plan for achieving CIM.
Each plan has a broad, long-term perspective; in at least one of the
OCR for page 14
companies, the plan looks 10 years into the future. The companies set
yearly objectives and budgets and measure progress toward those
objectives. -
These pioneers had to learn what has become obvious today: that
it is enormously difficult to link heterogeneous groups of hardware
and software. They now demand that new systems they acquire be able
to link with existing equipment. The companies emphasized the need to
create communication, understanding, and acceptance among people in
various functions before expecting to succeed in automating the
information flow among these functions. Their integration plans
required a clear understanding of the information flow among the
several functions.
Justification of CAD/CAM Integration
The companies visited generally had started their CAD/CAM
activities in at least two separate areas. Automation of the
engineering design process often began with computer-aided drafting
and progressed to computer-aided design and analysis, while automation
in production typically began with numerically controlled machines and
evolved to computer-aided production facilities. These early efforts
were often described as "islands of automation." As additional
computer-aided technology was added, the need became clear to bridge
the islands.
These companies independently concluded that the usual financial
measures, such as return on investment, were inadequate for assessing
the results of integration. These traditional measures have been
useful for highly focused investments. In the integration of
computer-aided technologies, however, both costs and benefits span
multiple functions and are difficult to capture by traditional
accounting procedures. The best measures, these companies say, are
responsiveness, productivity, quality, lead time, design excellence,
flexibility, and work-in-process inventories. Progress is also
measured in terms of its consistency with corporate objectives.
Each company found that the introduction of coordinated CAD/CAM
systems brought substantial improvements in productivity. A few
o Printed circuit board assembly from design release to delivered
product was reduced from 18 weeks to 4 weeks.
� Inventory was reduced from three months' supply to one month.
� By passing geometric data instead of drawings from design to
numerical control programming, the man-hours per part programmed was
reduced by well over one-third.
� A computer-integrated flexible manufacturing system reduced
total personnel in routing, purchasing, torch programming, inspection,
and machine operation by one half for the same output.

efforts. Further benefits are expected to accrue as full integration
is approached.

One large conglomerate! made a special study of the results
achieved by a diverse group of independent companies through the
modernization of production management systems. Production management
systems are narrower than CIM, but the data indicate that significant
savings have already resulted from the application of this portion of
CIM technology. The findings of that study are in Appendix B.
Management Commitment to CIM
The direct involvement of top management was found to be the key
to successful CIM programs in the companies visited. At one company,
for example, systems designers were spending 60 percent of their time
reconciling data bases, and action by the chief executive officer
(CEO) was necessary to bring about change. He initiated a review of
the data structure and data access needs and ordered a halt to new
computerization during the two years necessary to create a new,
unified data base. At another company, insufficient visibility of top
management support caused the CIM effort to founder. With the
creation of an executive vice presidency for technology, the company
regained focus and direct involvement of top management in CIM.
OCR for page 14
Without exception, the senior managers selected highly competent
people to plan and conduct their CIM activity and gave them clear
authority, individual accountability, and a clear understanding of how
their work linked to company goals. People on the CIM teams had
informal, clear, frequent, and in-depth communication with the top
management of their companies.
During the 20 to 30 years that these companies have been building
the infrastructure for computer integration, they have learned a
number of important lessons. Significant progress required the total
commitment of strong technical staff and management teams.
Managements had to learn, in the words of one, "to be smart, not
sophisticated." The implication was that the existence of new
technology did not necessarily mean that it was appropriate or
necessary for the company to use it.
Progress toward CIM accelerated with understanding of the CIM plan
at all levels of the organization and acceptance of the plan as a
corporate goal. Good human relations and shared goals were a
precursor for acceptance. -
The Committee attempted to discern whether the companies visited
would achieve the level of integration described in our definition.
The issue turned out to be not if they would, but when. Estimates
ranged from five to ten years, based on today's perception of
integration. Nonetheless, substantial technical, social, and
financial barriers remain, as detailed in Chapter 3.
The companies visited expressed concern that they were in a small
minority. With few companies making such efforts on a large scale,
progress will be limited: the greater the number of companies working
on CIM, the greater the benefits to all from shared experience.
Furthermore, the large companies visited viewed the lack of CIM
capabilities in their suppliers as an impediment to their own CIM
plans . The few suppliers that had computer links to the company that
did final product assembly were able to respond quickly to design
All of the companies visited were faced initially with a
relatively narrowly trained work force. They expressed a general need
to provide improved training in new skills for nearly everyone,
including the machine operator, the engineering work force, and the
management team. These companies today have broad skill bases because
of their extensive computerization effort over a long period. Other
companies that undertake CAD/CAM integration will find the lack of
skilled people one of their most serious problems. The availability
of skills and training could very well determine how rapidly they can
take advantage of this new technology.
OCR for page 14
2. Determine the factors that will be keys to the success of this
business in the future.
3. Develop a long-range plan that defines product evolution, rate
of new product introduction, mission and objectives of facilities, and
existing and planned capabilities.
4. If the previous steps have disclosed opportunities for
improvement through development of CAD/CAM systems, the chief
executive officer is then in a position to start the project.
The more experienced companies have evolved their own methods of
selecting, developing, and implementing CAD/CAM activities. The
pioneering companies often underestimated the time and money required
to learn how best to undertake these activities. Companies starting
computer integration today can learn from the experience of the
pioneers. The Air Force ICAM program has outlined key steps2 for
successful implementation of a CAD/CAM system at minimum cost.
Information gathered on the site visits supports the outline:
1 . De termine how the company is going to run its business in the
In all of the companies visited, the CEO set up a multi-
functional task force, led by a top level official. The functional
representatives had departmental decision-making authority. This team
determined the direction of the project, supported by internal and
consulting expertise as required.
Industry is using several systems development cycles or steps
today. One being used extensively was developed by the Air Force ICAM
program and is called the Program Life Cycle. It guides the
documentation of sys tem development and has eight key steps:
(1) Needs analysis
(2) Requirements definition
(3) Preliminary design
(4) Detail design
(5) Construction & verif ication testing
(6) Integration & validation testing
(7) Implementation & user acceptance
(8) Maintenance & support
Companies take diverse approaches to CIM. Most of those visited
started with narrow applications and gradually linked them to broaden
the integration effort. The one company that planned to start by
putting in place a comprehensive system found it necessary to abandon
the effort and to work instead toward more modest, intermediate

technological and organizational changes required for CIM. Managerial
organization often is an impediment to computer integration,
particularly if lines of communication do not exist among the
appropriate parties.
The three major federal programs directed at the integration of
computerized systems in engineering design and production are directed
at the solutions of problems that much of industry faces. No single
program, however, has addressed the integrated system as a whole.
Rather, IPAD addresses engineering design, ICAM addresses the
architecture of manufacturing and the control of production, and the
AMRF assists medium-sized and other companies to use shop-floor
Federal technology programs tend to be reasonably applicable to
many companies and therefore exactly applicable to none. Thus,
companies seeking to integrate can find many useful technological
accomplishments in these programs, but each company must customize its
own integrated system. To the extent that these companies have access
to information on technological accomplishments elsewhere, creation of
a CIM system will be easier.
Integrated Program for Aerospace Vehicle Design
The initial objective of the Integrated Program for Aerospace
Vehicle Design (IPAD) was to develop a computer software system for
use by the U.S. aerospace industry in the design of future vehicles.
This system was intended to reduce time and cost substantially and to
foster improved vehicle performance.
The work began in 1976 at the Boeing Commercial Airplane Company
with the preparation of specifications and preliminary design for an
IPAD system. It was to support the full engineering activities of a
large aerospace organization composed of many people working on many
projects at several levels of design over long periods of time.
The project was broken into four phases:
1. Requirements for the IPAD program were defined by an
examination of the aerospace design process and its interactions with
- 2. Integrated information processing requirements for aerospace
design were established.
3. A software specification and preliminary design of a full IPAD
system were prepared to support the requirements for aerospace design.
4. A partial version of the full IPAD system was developed,
resulting in prototype software that demonstrated the feasibility and
technology needs of data base management systems which could support
the intent of a fully integrated system.
OCR for page 14
The requirements were for a general purpose: an interactive
computer-aided engineering system capable of supporting engineering
data associated with the design process and its interfaces with
production. The system would serve management and engineering staffs
at all levels, including the production processes.
The preliminary sys tem des ign focused on a dis tributed,
heterogeneous machine environment in which data base management
technology and networks played critical roles in the total solution.
In 1978, NASA decided to concentrate IPAD resources on two areas:
data management and networking between heterogeneous machines.
Large improvements can be made in the way'information is managed
and shared, which IPAD demonstrated in its data base management system
(DBMS) prototype, called IPIP. It is a multimodal, multiuser,
multilevel schema, concurrent access DBMS that includes the data
definition language (DDL) and data manipulation language (DML)
required to solve engineering problems. IPIP supports multiple data
models (relation, hierarchy, and network). These features promote a
high degree of data independence.
The {PAD network system provides ultrahigh-speed exchange of data
between heterogeneous equipment. It provides the equivalent of levels
3 through 6 of the International Standards Organization (ISO) seven-
level model of communications. The system was the first to use
Network System Corporation's Hyperchannel to provide process-to-
process communications (levels 1 and 2 of the ISO model) between
different computers (a VAX 11/780 and a CDC CYBER 835) using different
operating systems.
In summary:
1. The IPAD studies of engineering processes provided a broad
understanding of the system requirements that will have to be
supported to reach integration.
2. The IPAD research work provided useful prototype software for
advanced network communication and engineering data management,
illustrating the nature of future products.
3. IPAD tutorials, reports, and applications established the
advanced technology requirements of engineering data management, data
schema, and integration of engineering applications with an
engineering data management system.
4. The development of a software prototype helped stimulate
vendors to produce new products in the areas of data management and
network communications.
Recent NASA reviews of the projects led to the conclusion that
IPAD had fulfilled to a large extent its original research objective.
Consequently, NASA and Boeing are formulating a redirection of the
OCR for page 14
Integrated Computer Aided Manufacturing
While NASA and the Navy have sponsored IPAD, an engineering design
system, the Air Force has sponsored the Integrated Computer Aided
Manufacturing (ICAM) program, a production system. Both types of
system are required for computer-integrated manufacturing.
Air Force studies in 1975 disclosed increased complexity of
weapons systems, declining quality and productivity, and increased
procurement lead times in much of the industry supporting Air Force
procurement. In response to these studies, the Air Force created the
ICAM program in 1976 to achieve major increases in productivity in
aerospace batch manufacturing through widespread application of
computer based, fully integrated factory management and operation
systems. ICAM had a nine-year budget of almost $100 million. The
demonstration of an integrated sheet metal center at Boeing Military
Airplane Company in 1985 will culminate the program.
The Air Force approach was to create integrated management systems
that tie all of the key production functions--product development,
production, and product support--into a common data base. Production,
the principal concern of ICAM, includes planning of facilities,
assembly, fabrication, quality control, production control, inventory
control, and data collection.
Early efforts were directed at identifying the key barriers to
more effective integration. Through the use of industry/university
consortia, ICAM then identified and demonstrated ways to break down
these barriers in the industrial environment. Additional effort is
directed at transferring the technology.
Product Definition Data Interface
Perhaps the most formidable technological barrier to CAD/CAM
integration is the transfer of geometry and instructions across the
design-production interface. The government program addressing this
barrier most directly is the Product Definition Data Interface (PDDI)
project within the ICAM program. It seeks to provide a framework for
exchange of digital data defining the geometry of the product, which
ing drawing.
(IGES), managed by the
National Bureau of Standards, established the initial base for direct
digital exchange of graphics data. It has been adopted as a standard
by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI Y14.26M,
Section 2-4) and is being used by major vendors and users.
- ICES provides a product definition data interface for limited
applications. Full integration will require a complete product
description that is accessible and understandable by users at all
points in the manufacturing process. Advanced manufacturing
technologies in numerical control, robotics, automated process
planning, and inspection, and their integration into a cohesive
system, are practically impossible if the product cannot be defined
by digital data that can directly feed these processes.
serve the function of the conventional engineer
The Initial Graphics Exchange Specification
OCR for page 14
The PDDI project is likely to extend the applicability of ICES
considerably. Its objective is twofold, as shown in Figure 2. First,
it will identify the current state of ICES implementation through the
appl ication o f test procedures for current graphics sys tems . Second,
it will define long-range manufacturing needs and demonstrate a
prototype interface for product definition data that meets these
needs. To these ends, the project will:
� analyze needs for product definition data in manufacturing,
using sample aerospace parts
� define an automated framework for a Product Definition Data
� develop a data format and utilities required to support the PDDI
� prove the concept of the PDDI through demonstration of the
utility software
The PDDI prototype system is intended to serve as the information
interface between engineering and all manufacturing functions that use
today's blueprint, including process planning, numerical control (NC)
programming, quality assurance, and tool design. It will be
demonstrated with an advanced NC programming system and an advanced
process planning system. The system also will be operated with two
commercial CAD systems to demonstrate its general applicability.
Automated Manufacturing Research Facility
The Automated Manufacturing Research Facility (AMRF) of the
National Bureau of Standards serves as an engineering "tes t bed" to
supply U.S. industry with "new ways of making precise measurements of
machined parts derived from NBS standards that will be developed using
capabilities inherent in modern, computer-controlled machinery."4 A
second objective is to encourage the modernization of U.S. industries
through the development and common use of standard interfaces between
various types of equipment.
Standard interfaces would enable heterogeneous components of a
manufacturing system to communicate without a need for custom-designed
interfaces. The challenge is to develop standard procedures,
protocols, and interfaces that will support current and emerging
technology without stifling innovation.
The AMRF seeks the most practical incremental route to automation
for small to medium sized companies. It uses domestically built,
commercially available machines, most of which involve two or more
components made by different manufacturers. The modular, hierarchical
software is believed by NBS to be the most flexible program available
today. The program was first demonstrated in November 1983, and
enhancements are planned over the next two or more years.
AMRF research is aimed at inspection of parts while they are being
processed. With advanced machine-control systems and new computer
technology, the computer can be programmed to compensate continually
for known errors in machine movement, using sensors to determine

machine condition. An important question still to be answered is how
to calibrate precisely a measurement process that is deeply embedded
in the manufacturing process and that depends on the machine-tool
control system.
Most large industrial firms now have heterogeneous
computer-controlled equipment and the skills and resources to work out
the complex interface problems of integration. However, 87 percent of
discrete parts manufacturing companies have fewer than 50 employees.5
Smaller companies, with limited resources, cannot invest in large-
scale automated systems all at once. Yet large companies that
purchase parts from smaller companies find that their own CIM efforts
are slowed by their suppliers' lack of CIM abilities.
Because the AMRF system is a research facility to be used by
government, industry, and academia to evaluate different systems
concepts, it has an emulation capability. Emulation is the ability to
perform the computer functions of one computer or hardware element in
another computer so that, from a logical basis, the rest of the system
does not recognize the substitution. Any piece of equipment, group of
machines, or subsystem can be caused to emulate another subsystem, so
that the AMRF hardware and software can be used to evaluate a system
using alternative choices of hardware and software.

Well, I support Blackpool, and we made the playoffs, but we got a difficult game facing the likes of Birmingham City. I believe in them enough that we can snatch a win and play either Cardiff or West Ham (Although we'd like to play Cardiff and humiliate them again >: D ) But if we end up against West Ham, it's gonna be a very difficult game.
As far as tonight's game goes, I'm rooting for Man City. I have never liked Man Utd, and I hope they get a thumping like last time. Man Utd winning the titles is really starting to bore the premier league, and I want a different team for a change winnig the title.
Next project: Pokemon Dark Nebula?

Kenya's M-PESA is hailed as one of the world's innovative mobile money programs. It was launched in 2007 as a joint venture between Vodafone and the Kenyan telecommunications company Safaricom, but it now also operates in some sub-Sahara African countries as well as in India and Afghanistan. It is basically a virtual wallet, allowing users to transfer money without the need for a bank account. This initiative brought a new option to most of the 80 percent of the country's 44 million citizens that have cellphones – but most of them do not bank accounts; the percentage of people without bank accounts in Kenya is especially high.
Thanks to a new venture called Kipochi, M-PESA now operates in the virtual currencies space as well. Through M-PESA, users are now able to buy bitcoins, which can be used for digital commerce or even for making cross border money transfers, something M-PESA users cannot do now.
Gyft, which "manages your gift cards without the hassle or plastic", is a platform with approximately 200 retailer relationships, including Burger King, Lowes, American Eagle and Nike. Now, through a partnership with Bitcoin payment processor BitPay Inc., Bitcoins can now be used for Gyft purchases. Gyft gives Bitcoin users more options. Gyft supports mobile Bitcoin purchases only on the Android platform, however.
The CEO of Gyft, Vinny Lingham, says "The biggest issue with Bitcoin to date is: Where do you spend these bitcoins?" Even though the currency can now be used at around 50,000 retail locations, the problem in the past was that making payments with the currency was mostly not supported. That might also have been a reason for the currency acting more like a commodity for some time.
It is truly exciting to see where Bitcoin may go into the future. For more of our coverage on Bitcoin check out these posts.

Help please
(89 Posts)I know there a few people on here who can give me some advice, im making a 6inch top tier cake in chocolate with ganache in the middle, can i use it fir the crumb coat?( would it show through the white fondant) or do i just put it in the middle and keep to buttercream for the crumb coat? I need an answer by wed if poss from anyone.
Awww thank you Mike, the damed thing got me so stressed must admit, and i have another 5 cakes to make in the next month, which should be a breeze after this one, ha ha. Dont say its good if you dont think it i,iuts been a learning curve if i'm honest and next time i would do things soooo differently. Now all i have to do is get it there, aaaarrrrrgh.x
Honestly. It is very good. I wouldnt lie. Has the bride seen it?
I've got loads of cakes the next few weeks too. I'm trying to limit myself to one a week. It's so hard to keep up with work, the dc and cakes sometimes.
Nooooo, she didnt want to, i did a suprise for her too, because she loves my lemon cake i made her a 6 inch just for her and put her name on it and some flowers in the same colour as the big cake, then she can take it home with her and domolish it all by her self. Working fulltime i try and do one aweek, and look after a 4 yr old on the odd day till he goes to school in Sept.
Dont suppose you've made a VW camper van have you? Thats my next cake for a week today.
Wow that cake is fab! I am really impressed and wish I was as good as you. Have a lovely day tomorrow.
No. Nothing as ambitious as a camper van.
Have you looked on youtube for tutorials?
I bet she loves the lemon cake. I'm doing a lemon wedding cake next month. Just an 8in round and cupcakes.
2ofsted, thats nice of you to say so. Have a go, you dont know what you can or cant do till you try. As long as i get it there in one piece i'll be a happy bunny!!
Mike, its my favourite too, i cut into 3 layers, put lemon curd in the bottom layer, then fresh lemon in the buttrcream then drizzle lemon curd on top of that , yummy. What will you do you cupcakes like?
I think she is having all lemon. Will fill with home made lemon curd and top with butter cream.
She is having a cadbury purple and white colour scheme, so I'm a little worried about the buttercream not being white enough. She wants similar to the last wedding I did (pics on my profile) so a mix of swirls and fondant decs.
That sounds fab. Do you buy the wilton whitner? I use that all the time and beat my buttrecream for about 10mins Mike.
Lovely pics Mike. What are the cream thingys on the first two pics?
They are just fondant. They were a practice for the wedding cupcakes.
I have the wilton whitner. Not used yet though.
I find if I use lurpak butter and leave the mixer on for 10-15 mins its pretty much white anyway.
Hi Mike, just an update, the bride said the cake was amazing, so pleased, so many many lovely comments, its all gone so that cant be a bad thing i guess.x
If you go on FB and put Barbara Herbert in theres a few nicer pics on there Mike.
Thats lovely.
How was the wedding? The weather wasn't brilliant was it?
On to the camper van next then?
No not really, it didnt rain thp but very windy and so cold, i had a wrap so it wasnt too bad. She looked lovely, i had a special thank you fo making her cake and an official photo with the cake, bride and groom, thatmade me feel so special, and a prezzie, 18mths subscription to Good Food mag, bless them , oh yes and a hangover, not nice but worth it, ha ha. I feel i can make anything now, lol, yep campervan next week.!!
I got a name check in the speeches too at. I was very . Plus some lovely champers and chocs.
Keep me updated on the campervan.
I have a request for a skydiving cake. No idea what to do with that?
Oh flip, where would you start with that one? Have no idea, the campervan's enough of a challenge for me at the moment and thats for this Fri, arrrghhh.
nannycook How did the campervan turn out?
2ofsted, when i finally got my act togther after the wedding cake i rung the lady to find out how many were attending the party, when i found out it was for 90 people i thought no way would a cake campervan be anywhere near enought, so i made a 12 inch jam and cream sponge then made a campervan out of icing and put it in the top of the cake on a piece of grass with a road, thanfully she loved it! On to my next one for the end of the week, a first b'day cake,lol.
How you doing? anything going on with you?
Will post some pics now, also made owl cupcakes, very easy to make.
I love the camper! Did you get it from a tutorial or anything?
Very good indeed.
Hiya Mike, no not really, just googled campervan images and up they came, just fancied one and went from there. Do that for your skydiving cake, i'll be interested to see what comes up for that, do you have any ideas yet?
Love the cake!
I went back to using cold butter and eggs as well as beating the life out of the mix after adding the flour and am back to making great cakes.
Have not baked for a week due to end of term madness but need to plan DDs cakes. I need to do 3 but not sure what yet although she has asked for another giant cupcake. Not looking forward to that as it was a pain to cook due to the size of the mould.
mmm, i haven't cooked the dreaded giant cupcake yet, i do worry about cooking a cake so deep, but saying that lots of peeps do so cant be too much of an issue, just find the right one for you and stick to it i guess, let me know how you get on and pics please.
I have a first b'day cake for this weekend, a single tier the week after and 60 anniversary week after that, so busy busy.x
Still havent planned the skydiving one yet. I'll start looking for inspiration this week.
2ofsted. I make quite a lot of giant cups and have a really nice choc recipe if you would like it?. Always cooks to perfection.
Im having a cake break for a few weeks. Then I have some princess cupcakes, a wedding cake on the 17th and a betty boop single tier at the end of the month. I've also got a big candy crush cake to do in sept. That will be my first topsy turvy one. Really looking forward to it all.
mike your chocolate cake recipe would be great. I tried a madeira last year and it was really dense and tasteless. I have a silicon mould that's in 2 pieces if it makes a difference.

Focus on problems, you'll have more problems. When you focus on possibilities, you'll have more opportunities.
I'm a very open and talkative person, I enjoy spending time around those that can hold a conversation. I feel that life is full of possibilities and have no problem taking chances. If you hold back on life, you will never really see all that it has in store for you. I am passionate about everything I do, and surround myself with others that are just as passionate as myself. I love food and all of the amazing things you can do with it, a food critic will be my best friend. I can't stand lazy people, I feel you must work hard to get what you want in life. If you are a person that can truly appreciate life, can laugh at yourself, confident but not cocky, enjoy a good meal, and can handle someone with my kind of enthusiasm and energy-send me a message, we should get along famously. :)
I like Birds, Cats, Dogs, Exotic Pets, Fish, Horses, Other
Some other viewpoint
Local parks and green ways. I enjoy nature and it's simple beauty, and hate being indoors unless it is too cold. I don't drink but enjoy going to local bars(JP Looney's, Ham's) and people watching. I don't really eat out much but Yamato is a fave.
Everest Online, Tempe, AZ
Favorite: Food; anything delicious. Games; puzzles or word games. Exercise; lunges and yoga. Book; Lightning by Dean Koontz. Movie; comedies. Holiday; Halloween. Body part; on me-feet, on him-eyes & smile. Past time; singing and dancing with my son.
I love to do anything involving the outdoors. This includes camping, hiking, exploring my local wooded areas, or anything you can think of. I'll try anything once, if I like it I'll never stop loving it.
Book of Lies-Brad Meltzer, What the Night Knows-Dean Koontz, A Man Named Dave-Dave Pelzer. I tend to read more than one at a time simply because I have so many in different places.

Dr. David Sherman's Ratings
I've seen Dr. Sherman a few times in the past and wasn't too fond of him, but lately, trips to his office are a nightmare. He hires staff who don't speak a word of English and they had the nerve to cop an attitude with me because I couldn't understand them. Dr. Sherman himself is not worth the long wait you to put up with every time you go there. He doesn't have a good bedside manner and I've felt like he was trying to rush me out of the office on more than one occassion. He has looked at me in a very unprofessional manner - almost in a flirty way, which made me feel uncomfortable. I would not recommend him or his office staff. I have switched to Dr. Glick.

so bitter.
by a game and zero playoff races.
rex walked into a team that missed 2 straight postseasons and hadn't won a playoff game in 5 years and won 2 playoff games in his rookie year. Let me know when philbin has you in a playoff race.
Rex has done maybe his best job this year and last year, switch the coaches and Miami is a playoff lock this year while we have the 2-3 wins most predicted.
Rex did his best coaching with mangenious's players.
Now that most of them mare gone you see his product.
My Draft:
Round 1: DeVante Parker (WR):
Speed, size/height, and efficient WR.
Round 2: Denzel Perryman (I-LB):
Behind Suh, quality I-LB.
Round 4: Ali Marpet (Guard)
Quality late round starting Guard, very smart, and tough.
Round 5: Jalen Collins (CB)
Possible quality CB w/ work.
Round 5: Jamil Douglas (Guard/Center/Tackle)
Guard, can also play center and tackle.
Round 6: Malcolm Brown (RB)
Consistent short yardage powerback.

Grant considered MLS move
Avram Grant's decision to return to Portsmouth as director of football followed more than a month of talks about a similar job at Major League Soccer's New York Red Bulls, according to the Israeli's agent.
Don Barnett, who represents Grant in the United States, revealed the former Chelsea boss was discussing a combined head coach and sporting director role at the currently managerless Red Bulls, who have the worst record in MLS this season with three games left to play.
"Grant would make history in New York based on the demographics of the area," Barnett told the New York Times.
"With all the Jewish residents and expat Israelis in the area, coupled with his profile at Chelsea, he would have raised the profile of Red Bull to a higher level on and off the field - and helped to sell tickets and attract players.
"He wants the job but I guess he couldn't wait on them any longer."
The struggling Red Bulls will see out the MLS season playing under caretaker coach Richie Williams following the resignation of Juan Carlos Osorio in late August.

Now, at nineteen, it's time for her to choose her own career and she's chosen to be a warrior. Unfortunately, for her, that's an impossible dream for a woman of AEssyria. Colonel Caraculla is a Razorback AEssyrian and the general's right hand man. He served under Gavin for a very long time and the two are as close as brothers.
