The Great Hunt Panel has been the center preservation efforts for a very long time.
The Utah School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration recently partnered with interested parties to complete a stewardship project, enhancing the protection of one of the state's most famous ancient rock art specimens - the Great Hunt Panel.
Located in Nine Mile Canyon 51 miles Northeast of Price, the Great Hunt Panel is part one of the largest concentrations of ancient rock art in the world, explained the school trust lands administration.
The panel is one of the most photographed and visited panels in the canyon on property administered by the state agency.
With increasing traffic in the canyon, it became apparent that measures to protect the panel from damage were necessary.
The first project, undertaken five years ago was re-routing the roadâoriginally within just a few feet of the panel.
This work was done by Bill Barrett Corporation (BBC), a natural gas exploration company with operations in the area.
Since that time, BBC and TLA have worked with Carbon County, College of Eastern Utah, Utah State University, Castle Valley archaeological society chapter and the Nine Mile Coalition, creating the recently completed improvements.
During the first three weeks in April, TLA provided construction materials and equipment while TLA employees, College of Eastern Utah (CEU) Sun Center volunteers and members of the Nine Mile Coalition provided labor for the project. Rustic fences were installed, defining the site, an interpretive kiosk was placed in the parking lot, and a graveled walkway from the parking lot to the site was created. A seating bench was built, and other improvements made. This site is now a destination for everyone who visits the canyon.
The Trust Lands Administration encourages the public to visit this important site and to remember that cultural resources, such as the Great Hunt Panel, are irreplaceable heritage assets reminding us of our commonly shared past.
The School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration is an independent state agency that manages 3.4 million acres of Utah trust lands for the financial benefit of Utah's public schools and 11 other public institutions.
Money generated from school trust lands is deposited in the state Permanent School Fund, a perpetual endowment that annually distributes income to each K-12 public school in Utah.

Looking through all the elliptical cross trainer reviews I realized I just didn't have time nor did I care to review "34 popular brands and 200 plus elliptical models". I just wanted to buy the best cross trainer I could while staying within my budget.
I have experience and preferred the household name brand elliptical machines like Precor, Life Fitness, NordicTrack, etc. But I've been training for over 20 years and by way of word of mouth I discovered companies like Yowza and Smooth Fitness who seemed to offer a lot more 'elliptical' for your buck. But like most I've been a member at my local YMCA and knew from experience what Precor and Life Fitness ellipticals felt like and I wasn't quiet ready to leave that comfort zone yet.
Nonetheless, I wanted to objectively review and compare basically the top selling elliptical cross trainers. Factoring Yowza and Smooth Fitness ellipticals into the equation was a no brainer as both are the top cardio equipment sellers online.
Here's my little cheat sheet I used to compare and review cross trainers around the $2,500 price point:
#4 Life Fitness X3 cross trainer:
Price: $2,700
Pro's: Smooth and quiet. Includes heart rate sensors on stationary handle bars. Extremely easy to use.
Con's: Price. You can payless for more of a rugged elliptical with more options.
#3 PreCor 5.25 Elliptical crosstrainer:
Price: $3,400
Pros: Adjustable crossramp and variable stride allows the machine to adjust to you. Moving handlebars are always better than stationary
Con's: Price. Like the X3 the 5.25 is one step up from its base residential model but still expensive. But there are credible retailers that sell refurbished or used Precor ellipticals. They're about 30-40% less than buying a new Precor. Stick to a trusted used cross trainer retailer (not eBay) if you go this route.
#2 SmoothFitness Agile DMT Elliptical:
Price: $2,600 (not including 5% coupon)
Pros: Smooth Fitness' best cross trainer. Offers 12 adjustable motionl levels, 20 intensity levels and
variable stride lengths that adjust to your step between 19″-24″. Moving handlebars with infrared sensor thumb controls. Included 5 year warranty. Factory Direct Pricing makes this price better than most competitors.
Cons: You've never test driven one before but the Guarantee pretty much dissolves that as any real concern.
#1 Yowza Captiva Cross Trainer:
Price: $1,999. (not including $100 discount plus free shipping)
Pros: The Captiva is Yowza's best elliptical trainer and besides that…it just looks really cool! Variable Motion Control allows you to touch a button to change the motion of your elliptical stride. What's new is theadded Core Training arm motion that works both your arms and abs simultaneously. I found this to be a completely new concept that no other elliptical offers. Bottom line is you get a better workout overall with Yowza's latest invention.
Again, factory direct pricing allows this manufacturer to keep costs down.
Cons: You've never test driven one before but again their Guarantee pretty much dissolves that as any real concern.
If at this point you've been comparing elliptical machines Yowza's Captiva is now your standard. Unless
you're just hell bent on buying a name brand or because it's what you used at your local health club
you're going to get a lot more elliptical with Yowza ellipticals.
What's the catch? Why is Yowza so much less?
I asked that and the reason is mainly due that when you buy through Yowza or SmoothFitness your buying factory direct or wholesale (no middle man). With Precor, LifeFitness, Sole, NordicTrak, etc. you're paying for a significant retail markup.
Please add your comments or your own cross trainer reviews for the benefit of the community.

AT&T Launches ShopAlerts
AT&T Launches ShopAlerts Deals Program; Will You Use It?
The difference between the new ShopAlerts service and other similar services, like Facebook Deals, is that it doesn't require the user to check in or perform any other action in order to get the deal. Just being in the vicinity of a participating location or retailer is enough to receive the alert. Messages vary, and may be notifications for sales, special events, new products, or special offers. And, thankfully, the service is limited to just four notifications per week, so there's no worry about becoming inundated with invitations (or messaging fees).
Find out who's already on board with ShopAlerts (and if there's any news on expansion) when you read more.
Launch partners include JetBlue, Kmart, HP, and more, with additional providers being added soon. No word yet on when or if AT&T expects to extend the service beyond the initial list of cities, but if other location-based services are any indication, it could go nationwide fast!

Science Friday ventured into the interior of Alaska for a look at Denali National Park this week. A guide who works for the Alaska Railroad told us that Denali includes over 6 million acres of land, and is larger than the state of New Hampshire. From Fairbanks, it took about 12 hours by bus and train to get into the center of the park.
Denali is home to many different species of wildlife–caribou, moose, Dall sheep, wolves. But the park's signature animal seems to be the grizzly bear. We even spotted a few lumbering around the tundra while we were there.
Despite their reputation as blood-thirsty man-eaters (I'm thinking of the documentary Grizzly Man), I was pretty surprised to learn that grizzly bears in some inland places, like Denali, are primarily vegetarians. According to John McPhee's book Coming into the Country (1977), eighty percent of a grizzly bear's diet comes from vegetables and roots—particularly milkvetch (Astragalus L.) and Eskimo potatoes (Hedysarum alpinum). A recent study published in the Journal of Mammology provides more insight into what grizzlies like to eat: After analyzing over 650 feces samples, scientists concluded that grizzly bears living in the foothills of Alberta, Canada dined on as many as forty different food items—from moose to dandelions.

Hans said the infections play a bigger role in premature deliveries prior to 30 weeks than those that happen later in pregnancy and can result in babies born with many health challenges and who struggle to thrive at their low-birth weights.
According to 2003 statistics from the March of Dimes (http://www.marchofdimes.com/prematurity/15341_10734.asp), hospital charges for newborns without complications averaged $1,700. In contrast, hospital costs for infants born too soon to too small averaged a startling $77,000. Also in 2003, hospital charges for all infants totaled $36.7 billion. Nearly half of that, $18.1 billion, was for babies with a diagnosis of prematurity or low birth weight. Today 1,300 babies in the U.S. will be born prematurely. While doctors have made tremendous advances in caring for babies born too soon and too small, scientists have not yet developed effective ways to help prevent premature delivery.
Finding why mothers give birth prematurely is important for the health of the baby and mother and to drive down medical costs, said Han.
The mother, who had the presence of Bergeyella, came to MetroHealth when in preterm labor and dilated at 24 weeks. She was induced after it was determined by low glucose levels and elevated white blood cell counts in her amniotic fluid that she had an infection. An examination of the placenta, fetal lining and umbilical cord following the birth supported the infection.
Han's tests of the amniotic fluid found the Bergeyella bacteria.
This study continues Han's research into the suspicion that oral bacteria, once entering the blood, can cause a host of health problems including preterm labor.
She confirmed the harm oral bacteria can cause in a mice study in April 2004 when she injected the common oral

Oracle Linux 5.7 brings all of the new features and fixes found in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.7, which has been available for a little over a week, plus a few patches of its own.
For all intents and purposes, it is fully compatible with RHEL 5.7, all apps and components should work the same, which was always the aim, but it is missing the Red Hat logos, artwork and other specific components. The first is Oracle's own Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel 2.6.32 (200.13.1.el5uek) which is also the default. The second option is the vanilla Red Hat compatible kernel 2.6.18 (274.el5), which is also installed by default, but is not the default option.
Download Oracle Linux 5.7 now from Softpedia.
On August 4th, Canonical announced the third Alpha version of the upcoming Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) operating system. Ubuntu 11.10 Alpha 3 is now powered by the latest stable version of Linux kernel 3.0 and the GNOME 3.1.4 desktop environment. Mozilla Thunderbird 6.0 is now the default email client and Mozilla Firefox 6.0 is the default web browser. Unity menu and launcher integration has also been added for Thunderbird.
This release features experimental versions of Compiz and Unity. Moreover, the old ALT+Tab functionality has been replaced with CTRL+Tab one, the launcher and panel perform better, and the indicator stack was ported to GTK3.
Last but not least, a lot of new options for a pleasant desktop experience have been added to the power indicator, such as easy access to setup your monitor, bluetooth devices, startup applications, printers, USB devices, and system updates. Ubuntu Software Center got a new "top rated" views feature to all the subcategory pages and the main category page. Moreover, installing individual deb files is a lot faster now.

· Gnome 3 doesn't have too many fans among power users and when the father of Linux, Linus Torvalds, speaks out against Gnome 3 and switches to Xfce, it doesn't look good. Linus believes that Gnome 3 has serious usability issues. Of course, Linus Torvalds is not representative of a broad user base, not even of a regular Linux user, but his words carry a lot more weight than almost anyone else in the Linux community. Read more about it here.

What Do Orthopedic Technicians Do?
Orthopedic technicians, also known as orthopedic technologists, work under the direct supervision of orthopedic surgeons. They assist in the operating room, apply and remove casts, fit walking aids, and perform other support duties. Keep reading to learn more about orthopedic technicians' duties and certification requirements. Schools offering Medical Assisting degrees can also be found in these popular choices.
Career Overview
Orthopedic technicians, more commonly called orthopedic technologists, assist orthopedic surgeons in the care of patients with injuries or diseases of the musculoskeletal system. One of the most important duties of an orthopedic technician is aiding surgeons in the operating room by assembling fracture tables and preparing for surgical procedures.
Orthopedic technicians apply and remove plaster and synthetic casts and inform patients about the risks of treatment. Working under the guidance of physicians, orthopedic technicians also set up and make adjustments to certain types of traction and assess patients in traction.
Additionally, orthopedic technicians teach patients to use walking aids, such as canes and crutches, and fit and adjust equipment as necessary. Under the guidance of surgeons, orthopedic technicians fabricate splints and manage other simple medical technology, including braces and prosthetic limbs.
The National Board for Certification of Orthopaedic Technologists (NBCOT, www.nbcot.net) administers a written certification examination. Because orthopedic technology professionals come from diverse educational and experience-related backgrounds, NBCOT has developed the following qualifications to sit for the exam:
- Full-time, on-the-job training in orthopedic technology, under the supervision of an orthopedic physician, for a minimum of two years
- Graduation from an orthopedic technology training program, plus one year of related work experience
- Graduation from an orthopedic technology training program recognized by the National Association of Orthopaedic Technologists (www.naot.org) or a U.S. military training program
- Certification or licensure as an athletic trainer, plus at least six months relevant work experience in orthopedic technology, under the supervision of an orthopedic physician

LAKELAND, Fla. - Dozens of farm workers and their supporters are protesting in front of the Publix headquarters. Not only are they holding up signs, but many are also fasting, drinking only water, for six days.
The Coalition of Immokalee Workers and their supporters are trying to get the grocery giant to sign their Fair Food Agreement, which a number of fast food companies and grocery stores are already a part of. Under that, Publix would pay an extra penny per pound for tomatoes harvested.
"If Publix were to pay the penny, it would nearly double farm workers' pay for the tomatoes that go to their stores, because you get an additional 32 cents on top of the 50 cents we're paid for every bucket," said farm worker Leonel Perez.
Officials with Publix said the issue is a labor dispute and they are not involved. As retailers, they added the company does not set or negotiate the price.
"We are more than willing to pay a penny more per pound of whatever the industry price is that they charge us for the goods, but we're simply saying put it in the price," said Publix spokesperson Shannon Patten.
The CIW has been after Publix to sign on for about three years. The protest and fast ends Saturday with a 3-mile procession to the Publix headquarters along with a ceremony.

Goal of Targeted Therapy for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL)
Targeted cancer therapies are designed to recognize a specific change in a cancer cell that drives the growth, division, and spread of cancer cells. These drugs zero in on their molecular or immunologic target. That's how they destroy or slow the growth of cancer cells. They do this without affecting most normal, healthy cells. Because most healthy tissues are spared, these treatments tend to cause fewer and less severe side effects than other standard treatments.
Monoclonal antibody therapy is a kind of targeted therapy. Recently this treatment has been developed for CLL. It precisely targets receptors on the outside of leukemia cells. The goal is to kill as many cancer cells as possible. It uses laboratory-created antibodies. They are similar to those your immune system makes naturally. They attach to cancer cells, killing them or blocking their growth. Monoclonal antibodies used to treat CLL include rituximab, alemtuzumab, and ofatumumab.
Monoclonal antibodies may be used if your CLL requires treatment. They are often used (either along with chemotherapy or by themselves) as part of the initial treatment for CLL. They may also be used (alone or with chemotherapy) if the initial treatment doesn't work or if the leukemia returns.

UBS Global Asset Management publishes "The Bond Bubble - the danger of risk aversion"
London, 27 January 2006. The report examines the distortion of UK bond markets and the increase in investment risk caused by the UK pension funds' acute risk aversion. UBS believes that pension funds should be wary of committing assets to these markets at current yields.
Actuate risk aversion by UK funds has created a bubble that has distorted UK bond markets and increased investment risks. There has been a dramatic collapse in real yields on long-dated UK bonds as pension fund demand has outstripped supply.
For many defined benefit pension funds, the impact on liability costs has been severe. Even strong equity markets have not been enough to prevent deficits rising sharply.
Nic Barnes, Executive Director and Head of Sterling Fixed Income at UBS Global Asset Management and author of the report comments: "Real yields at current low levels are unsustainable. As a consequence we have positioned our clients' discretionary managed pension funds accordingly."
Barnes adds, "even pensions funds considering low-risk liability matching using long-dated, index-linked gilts should be wary of committing assets to the market at current yields."

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the kitchen, a nonprofit health organization might have you thinking twice. The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine has released its list of the five worst cookbooks of 2011 based on the unhealthy options they each present.
The cookbook that sizzles to the top of the worst list is "Jamie Oliver's Meals in Minutes." PCRM says that despite Oliver's attempts on national television to push for healthier foods in schools, some of the recipes in his book are extremely high in fat and cholesterol.
Take a bite out of Oliver's meatball sandwich recipe, which PCRM says contains more fat than a Big Mac. It also tips the scale with 1,182 calories, 185 milligrams of cholesterol and 2,352 milligrams of sodium.
Here are the other cookbooks on the worst list with PCRM's reasoning for tossing them in the mix:
- "Guy Fieri Food": The Jambalaya Sandwich contains bacon, smoked sausage, and Andouille sausage; such processed meats raise colon cancer risk.
- "Paula Deen's Southern Cooking Bible": One serving of Hot Buffalo Wings (three wings) contains 910 calories and 85 grams of fat; meat-heavy diets raise obesity risk.
- "The Cook's Illustrated Cookbook": More than 50 pages of recipes featuring grilled meat, which increases cancer risk.
- "The Neely's Celebration Cookbook": Bourbon Bread Pudding is saturated with butter, half-and-half, and whole milk; high-fat diets increase heart-disease risk.

Salute to troops
faith brought us together
My husband has been in the Navy for 6 years and we met online through a dating service. After a long conversation we were both shocked to find out that we lived 20 minutes apart and both are natives of Wisconsin but it took living in California to find one another. The Navy brought him out here and a previous marriage to a military member dragged me here. It was love at first sight when me met the next day and everything fell into place. We got married here in California and are planning to go back to Wisconsin in July to celebrate with our family.
We have been together for almost 2 years and have a wonderful 7 and a half month old boy named Blake. I also have an 8 year old son, Landen, who he treats like his own. Landen is proud of his dad and wants to follow in his foot steps by joining the young Marine program here at Camp Pendleton. I am so proud of my husband CS3 Sean Halfmann for standing in a voided place in not only my heart but my son's as well. We cannot imagine a life without him. I am proud to call myself his wife and have my best friend by my side through thick and thin. I will forever be grateful to have you in my life. We love you.

In Memoriam
October 2011
The Department of Computer Science is saddened to report that Emeritus Professor John McCarthy died on October 24, 2011 at age 84. John was one of the founders of artificial intelligence (AI), coining that name in 1955. From that time until his death he made foundational contributions both to AI and to computer science in general. In a famous 1958 paper and subsequent memos, he proposed (and thereafter strongly held) that the knowledge needed by AI programs should be represented in declarative sentences (principally in a logical language) rather than being encoded within the programs that use that knowledge. As he put it, "Sentences can be true in much wider contexts than specific programs can be useful."
John's work on AI systems that could reason with declarative knowledge inspired a legion of researchers who, along with John, advanced this approach to AI and produced many practical applications of it. Realizing some of the difficulties of getting logical systems to reason with commonsense knowledge, John extended logic to be able to deal with contexts and with the use of default (but not necessarily universally true) knowledge.
In 1958, John invented the list processing language LISP, which became the language of choice for programming AI systems. Programs written in LISP have flown in a NASA spacecraft and are key parts of several practical AI systems. John's 1960 paper "Recursive Functions of Symbolic Expressions and Their Computation by Machine, Part I," established the theoretical foundations of LISP as a...

Rajeev Motwani, Professor of Computer Science at Stanford University, passed away on June 5, 2009.
Rajeev was a luminary in many academic disciplines. He made fundamental contributions to the foundations of computer science, search and information retrieval, streaming databases and data mining, and robotics. In these areas, he considered questions as philosophical as what makes problems inherently intractable, and as practical as finding similar images and documents from a database. His text book, Randomized Algorithms, with Prabhakar Raghavan, epitomizes this meeting of the abstract and the concrete, and has been a source of inspiration to countless students. He has received many awards for his research; notably, the Gödel Prize, and the Arthur P. Sloan Foundation Research Fellowship. Rajeev's academic legacy extends to teaching and advising a large number of students, many of whom have gone on to successful academic careers.
In addition to his academic accomplishments, Rajeev was a legendary figure in Silicon Valley. He was an early investor and technical advisor for many ventures, and mentored dozens of young enterpreneurs. In the words of one of those young enterpreneurs, Sergey Brin, "Today, whenever you use a piece of technology, there is a good chance a little bit of Rajeev Motwani is behind it."

November 2007
Gene Golub, Professor of Computer Science, died on November 16, 2007 at age 75 after a recent diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia. Gene was born on February 29, 1932 in Chicago. He earned his bachelors, masters and PhD, all in mathematics, from the University of Illinois. His PhD advisor was Abraham Taub, who was influenced in turn by John von Neumann and became the general editor of John van Neumann's 6 volume biography. In 1959 Gene received an NFS Fellowship and worked as a fellow at the Mathematical Laboratory at University of Cambridge for 15 months. He worked for several industrial companies, Lawrence Radiation Laboratory, and Space Technology Laboratories before he returned to academia. In 1962, Gene joined the faculty of Stanford as a visiting assistant professor in the Computer Science Division. Gene joined the newly formed Computer Science Department in and was chairman of the department from 1981 to 1985.
Gene was a leading pioneer in the field of numerical analysis, creating algorithms and software that allowed researchers to run large engineering and science calculations effectively on computers. In 1964, together with William Kahan and Christian Reinsch, he created an algorithm to compute the Singular Value Decomposition, or SVD, which will forever be an essential computational tool.
Professor Golub's many contributions have been internationally recognized. He was the recipient of 10 honorary degrees from institutions around the world and an honorary member of numerous societies. He authored or co-...
August 2005
Joseph Oliger, professor emeritus of computer science and co-founder of Stanford's Scientific Computing and Computational Mathematics Program, died of cancer at his home in Truckee, Calif. He was 63.
Oliger was born Sept. 3, 1941, in Greensburg, Ind. He received his bachelor's degree in mathematics in 1966 and his master's degree in 1971, both from the University of Colorado. Between 1965 and 1973, he worked as a programmer and numerical analyst at the National Center for Atmospheric Research. He received a doctorate in computer science from the University of Uppsala, Sweden, in 1973.
Oliger joined the Stanford Computer Science Department in 1974 as an assistant professor, teaching numerical analysis courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. He became a full professor in 1980. In 1987, Oliger co-founded the Scientific Computing and Computational Mathematics Program with professors Gene Golub, George Homsy and Joseph Keller. Oliger was noted for his influential work on partial differential equations that arise in meteorological problems.
He was an active adviser and mentor for a number of graduate students. In addition to his work in the Computer Science Department, Oliger consulted with students and faculty in the departments of Mechanical Engineering and Geophysics. Joe wrote many technical articles, reports and books, notably Time Dependent Problems and Difference Methods, with his former thesis adviser, Heinz-Otto Kreiss, and Bertil Gustafsson, published in 1996.
In addition to his academic pursuits, Oliger enjoyed the...
March 2003
"Jack" joined the Math Department in 1942 and again in 1946 after two years as a physicist with Ames Aeronautical Laboratory at Moffett Field. In 1953 Stanford University received its first computer and Prof. Herriot, a pure mathematician, assumed responsibility as the first Director of the newly founded Computation Center. In Spring of 1955, he taught the first programming course "Theory and Operation of Computing Machines" to 25 students using an IBM Card Programmed Calculator, Model II. Enrollment mushroomed to 150 in 1959 In 1956, he started working with students in a new math masters program in "Scientific Computation". In 1957, he helped recruit George Forsythe to the math department. In 1961, he and George Forsythe founded the Computer Science Division of the Mathematics Department and started hiring computer science faculty. In January 1965 the faculty of the Computer Science Division moved to the newly founded Computer Science Department. He served as acting department chairman from 66-67 and 72-73. His principal interests were in numerical analysis, especially in the development and description of algorithms useful for solving various problems arising in numerical analysis.
Professor Herriot passed away March 16, 2003, at the age of 87.
September 2001
Computer pioneer Robert W. Floyd, a professor emeritus and former chair of the Department of Computer Science, died on Sept. 25 after a long illness. He was 65.
"In the old days, programmers would just twiddle with programs till they seemed to work," says Professor Emeritus of The Art of Computer Programming Donald Knuth. "Floyd showed that there was a way to prove programs would work." His approach of marrying math with computer science was "a revelation to the field," Knuth says.
"Floyd's 1960s method of invariants, in which assertions are attached to points in a computer program, is still the basis of much work in proving that computer programs meet their specifications," says John McCarthy, professor emeritus of computer science.
Born in New York on June 8, 1936, Floyd was recognized as a child prodigy at age 6; he skipped three grades and finished high school at 14. A scholarship allowed him to study at the University of Chicago, where he received a bachelor's degree in liberal arts in 1953 at age 17. After that he supported himself and earned another bachelor's degree in physics in 1958.
Though he never went through the formalities of obtaining a doctorate, prior to his appointment as an associate professor of computer science at Stanford in 1968, he had written at least a dozen papers considered superior to any doctoral dissertation in computer science at the time. One of the hottest topics in computer science at the time was the language of computer programming. Says Knuth: "There were only four good papers on the topic -- all by...
July 1990
Professor Emeritus Arthur L. Samuel died July 29, 1990 at Stanford hospital from complications related to Parkinson's disease. Arthur Samuel was a pioneer of artificial intelligence research. His life spanned a broad personal and scientific history.
Arthur Samuel was born in Emporia, Kansas in 1901. He graduated from M.I.T. with a Master's of Science degree in Electrical Engineering in 1926, working intermittently at General Electric Co. in Schenectady. He later did graduate work in Physics at Columbia University. His undergraduate school, the College of Emporia, awarded him an honorary doctorate in 1946. After his master's degree he stayed on at M.I.T. as an instructor in Electrical Engineering until 1928, when he joined Bell Telephone Laboratories. At Bell Labs he mainly worked on electron tubes. Particularly notable was his work on space charge between parallel electrodes and his wartime work on TR-boxes. This is a switch that disconnects the receiver of a radar when the radar is transmitting and prevents the sensitive receiver from being destroyed by the high power transmitter. In 1946 Samuel became Professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of Illinois and became active in their project to design one of the first electronic computers. It was there he conceived the idea of a checker program that would beat the world champion and demonstrate the power of electronic computers. Apparently the program was not finished while he was at the University of Illinois, perhaps because the computer wasn't finished in time.
In 1949 Samuel joined...

May 9, 2007 - In the front room of Sheila Dieterich's home in southeast Calgary is a photo of the preschool class she attended in her native Vancouver. Ms. Dieterich is the last child on the left in the top row, but she's hard to miss -- she's the only one wearing a wedding dress.
"I wouldn't let it go," says Ms. Dieterich, 36. "I always liked wearing a bride's dress."
Ms. Dieterich has made that early fascination pay off handsomely. From her home, she operates Sweet Beginnings, a franchised wedding consultation and décor business. She was recently named one of 75 franchisees of the year by the International Franchise Association, one of two Canadian winners. The other winners, Chris and Nicola Feist of ServiceMaster Clean -- a cleaning and restoration business -- are also located in Calgary.
The IFA gives out the award but it is the companies who select their top individual performers. Ms. Dieterich, who started with Sweet Beginnings in October, 2004, is the company's first operator to be chosen for the award.
"Sheila jumped in with both feet when she first came on board, and we've seen her plant those feet solidly in the Calgary market," said Rob Lancit, the chief executive officer of Sweet Beginnings. "She's grown the business so quickly we now have to look at selling parts of her territory because she can't keep up with the demand."
Neither Mr. Lancit nor Ms. Dieterich would reveal sales figures, but Mr. Lancit said Ms. Dieterich's earnings increased 45 per cent from her first to her second year. The average increase in that time is usually 25 to 30 per cent, Mr. Lancit said. Ms. Dieterich said she has organized "hundreds" of events since she started.
In addition to weddings, Sweet Beginnings plans and organizes family and corporate celebrations, although weddings are the bulk of the business. Ms. Dieterich advises on decorations, serves as a liaison with caterers and florists, and even gets involved in setting up and taking down decorations.
She operates her business from the front room in her home, what she calls "the velvetrope room." In it are elegant centre pieces and chair covers that are offered as part of the Sweet Beginnings package. On a table removed from the displays, bridal magazines and Sweet Beginnings binders and catalogues are piled around a vase of Gerber daisies. In the binders and catalogues are possible colour and fabric combinations for prospective clients and photos showing events Ms. Dieterich has previously organized.
Mr. Lancit's wife, Elana, founded Sweet Beginnings in 1998. After receiving a favourable response to her planning of her own wedding, she went into business herself.
Ms. Dieterich was likewise intrigued by Sweet Beginnings after using the service for her wedding in Toronto in 2002. When her husband, Dean, the corporate accounts manager for an oil and gas waste-management company, was transferred to Calgary, Ms. Dieterich began casting about for a home-based business. Sweet Beginnings had started franchising itself and she signed on.
She stepped into a burgeoning market. From 2002 to 2006, Calgary has averaged 4,600 weddings a year, according to government statistics. And most people want to spend big money to get married, according to the Bridal Association of America. It estimates a typical wedding this summer will cost about $28,850 (U.S.) and that 15 per cent of brides will use a planner or consultant.
With Sweet Beginnings, each franchisee makes an initial investment of $35,000 (Canadian) to get started. That includes $15,000 worth of material such as the display items and the catalogues. Franchisees receive five days of training in Vancouver, where Sweet Beginnings is based, and get an additional three or four days of training in the local market. Sweet Beginnings has 16 locations in Canada and two in the United States.
To plan a wedding for 100 people, depending on the intricacy of the decorations and the planning, Ms. Dieterich would charge somewhere between $1,000 and $1,500. She has also done larger and more elaborate events where she charges $7,000 to $9,000. She does most of the work herself but can call upon a casual staff of 10 people, mostly students, to assist during busy weekends.
Alberta's economic prosperity has helped her, Ms. Dieterich says, but more important initially was her aggressive marketing. Once that took hold and she acquired clients, she expanded on her good reputation.
A sense of style is useful in the job, Ms. Dieterich says, but common sense is more essential. "You do have to have a good head on your shoulders," she says.
Despite a job that consumes most of her weekends, Ms. Dieterich says her family life does not suffer. She has a three-year-old son, Conrad, and spends as much of her weekday time with him as she can. The family schedules vacations around slow periods in the business.
But there are few of those on the horizon for Ms. Dieterich, who remains as enthralled by weddings as ever.
"I'm an only child," she says, "so because I don't have a large family, I like getting out there and meeting people. In this business you see all different sorts of people, and it's just so neat to see all the personalities that come in. I haven't had a bride come to me that I haven't liked."

Here is the simple sql query that will return all tables that have the following column name, 'userid' or 'user_id'.
SELECT t.name
FROM sys.tables t
INNER JOIN sys.columns c ON t.object_id = c.object_id
WHERE c.name LIKE 'userid' OR c.name LIKE 'user_id'
ORDER BY name
However, what I would like to do here is to get all the tables that don't contain 'userid' column and 'user_id' column. How should I query this?
P.S. Using NOT LIKE will still bring back the table that contains 'userid' or 'user_id' column, if the table has some other different columns.
Thanks very much.

The resentencing of Jamie Olis
US District Judge Sim Lake announced yesterday that Jamie Olis will be resentenced on Friday at 2 p.m., almost a year after the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed Judge Lake's previous 24+ year sentence. As we await another chapter in what has emerged as one of the most egregious injustices of the government's criminalization of business interests during the post-Enron era, the following are a sampling of my posts on the Olis saga since I began following the case two and a half years ago:
My first post on the sad case of Jamie Olis (March 24, 2004), a little over a month after the beginning of this blog;
The WSJ's Holman Jenkins notices the sad case of Jamie Olis (March 31, 2004);
Larry Ribstein addresses the Olis case for the first time, marking the beginning of this fine scholar's writings in the blawgosphere on the dubious nature of the government's regulation-of-business-through-criminalization policy (April 7, 2004);
Olis is ordered to report to prison on May 20, 2004 (May 5, 2004);
The Wall Street Journal runs its first thorough article on the Olis case (May 20, 2004);
Novelist and former prosecutor Mark Costello decries the Olis sentence and the increasing criminalization of business interests in the New York Times (June 7, 2004);
The Los Angeles Times weighs in with a thorough article on the Olis case (July 12, 2004);
Sentencing scholar Douglas Berman takes up the Olis case, beginning his excellent blawgosphere analysis of the unjust nature of the sentence (July 16, 2004);
The sad case of Olis gets even sadder as he is transferred to a prison far away from his wife and young daughter (January 31, 2005);
The government's misrepresentation of the market losses in the Enron Nigerian Barge trial mirrors the prosecution's misrepresentation of the market loss involved in the Olis case (April 20, 2005);
Would Olis have fared better had he been tried and sentenced in Russia? (June 1, 2005);
While Theodore Siphol goes home, Bill Fuhs and Jamie Olis go to jail (June 24, 2005);
The Olis case is lost amidst the myopia of the NY Times (September 16, 2005);
Embezzling $43 million and copping a plea is better than embezzling nothing and asserting one's innocence at trial (October 16, 2005);
Finally, some justice for Jamie Olis as the Fifth Circuit reverses his 24+ year sentence (November 1, 2005);
The Chronicle's business columnist Loren Steffy -- who generally supports the government's regulation-of-business-through-criminalization policy -- says that the government has gone too far in the Olis case (November 24, 2005);
The Justice Department's initial reaction to the reversal of Olis' sentence is that he should be resentenced to "only" 15 years (December 21, 2005);
The Justice Department drags its feet in regard to the Olis resentencing (January 18, 2006);
Short-selling and the genesis of the case against Olis (February 4, 2006);
Hope for Olis on the key market loss issue (February 27, 2006);
Martin Frankel's sentence exposes the absurdity of Olis' original sentence (March 24, 2006);
"Prison time is slow time" (June 22, 2006);
More hope for sanity in the resentencing of Olis (August 1, 2006);
Professor Grundfest takes on the market loss issue in the Olis case (August 22, 2206);
The Justice Department continues misrepresenting the market losses in the Olis case (September 6, 2006) while The Economist weighs in on the market loss issue (September 19, 2006);
The prosecution asked Professor Grundfest what? (September 13, 2006); and
The Olis resentencing hearing concludes (September 14, 2006).
Update: As usual, Larry Ribstein has a most insightful observation about the Olis resentencing:
The government has built much of its scheme for putting business in jail on this unfortunate young father. For more than two years, prosecutors could use the Olis example to soften up defendants for pleas and cooperation, sort of like a murdering despot pointing to his display of his enemies' spiked heads. A significant reduction in Olis's sentence would not only be a welcome bit of justice for Jamie Olis, but an important symbolic turn in the government's questionable campaign.
Update 2: Olis was resentenced to six years.
Update 3: Olis' ordeal continues (December 10, 2006).
Update 4: Did the Bureau of Prisons forget about Olis (February 1, 2007)? And Olis finally receives a ticket to Bastrop (February 11, 2007).
Update 5: Troubling information is revealed regarding the DOJ's interference with the Olis defense (May 28, 2007).
Update 6: The Olis connection to the KPMG criminal case (June 13, 2007).
Update 7: Information on what really happened during Olis' criminal trial finally starts to come out (October 9, 2007).
Update 8: Did the prosecution violate its Brady obligation to turnover exculpatory evidence to the Olis defense (December 4, 2007)?
Update 9: Why is the United States imprisoning people such as Jamie Olis (April 27, 2008)?
Update 10: This is criminal justice (Aug 9, 2008)?
Update 11: People who live in glass houses . . . (Aug 26, 2008).
Update 12: But what about he case in which the threat worked? (December 5, 2008).
Update 13:Olis as a casualty of the criminalization-of-business lottery (January 13, 2009).
Update 14: Reflecting on astonishing abuses of power (August 10, 2009).
Update 15: Jamie Olis and the trial penalty (October 27, 2009).
Update 16: The incalculable cost of a misguided criminal prosecution (January 5, 2010).

I went to undergraduate with Jamie. I have been following his case in the San Antonio newspapers and in the BOPWatch yahoo group. I have always held Jamie in very high regard. I have always thought he was "over-prosecuted" by the feds and certainly unjustly sentenced (especially the 24 years that was correctly reduced). As a criminal defense attorney in San Antonio, I know the injustices of the federal criminal justice system and have always worried about Jamie's treatment. Although I still believe in his innocence, I am relieved that his sentence has been "reasonablized" and that he has finally been moved to an FCI instead of that gulag in Houston. I wish Jamie and his family all the best and extend my greatest support. I don't know if Jamie remembers me, but I was his frat brother Franklin's roommate @ St. Mary's University.
Sincerely, Alex Scharff

"In planning a trip to Nova Scotia (somewhere I have never been) I used this book extensively. We enjoy hiking, kayaking and general sight-seeing. This book not only provided information on outdoor activities but also on lodging, dining and driving as well as the history of the areas in Nova Scotia. It provides a wealth of information and made our stay much more enjoyable than if we just went there not knowing anything. We brought it along and it was a very important reference for us as we toured the province. I highly recommend it. After reading several travel books, this was the best one and the only one we took on our trip." -- DM Dugan. "This book is excellent. What I particularly liked was that it mentioned small walks that can be taken in the areas that we visited, as well as archeological sites and wildlife viewing areas, all in my areas of interest." -- Sheila Ferrari.

Local fire departments responded to two fires in just a few short hours between Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning.
A report was called in to the Borger Fire Department on Tuesday, July 12, 2011. The fire was just seven miles south of Borger and was located inside Carson County.
Panhandle, Borger, Carson County, and Skellytown Fire Departments responded to the fire that damaged about 10 acres. The Carson County Sheriff's Department was also on scene to block control traffic due to visibility issues.
A Stinnett police officer has been relieved of his duties.
The city council members went into closed session during their regular meeting Monday evening to discuss the case of local citizen and police officer EC Garza and his employment. It was confirmed on Wednesday afternoon by a Stinnett city official that Mr. Garza was relieved from his duties as a police officer. There were no further comments as to why he was terminated.
On Monday evening, the citizens of Stinnett came together to address several concerns regarding the Stinnett Police Department.
Rain was truly a sight to see for many local residents Wednesday afternoon. Among those enjoying the rain were 13-year-old Jacob Ruble, 10-year-old Gavin Stocks, and six-year-old Patience Lorenz.
On Monday evening, the citizens of Stinnett came together to address several concerns regarding the Stinnett police department.
Local citizen and police officer EC Garza spoke at the Stinnett City Council's regular meeting in the Stinnett City Hal1. Garza said, "There have been allegations that I'm not working, that I don't do my job, that a lot of people complain and from what I've seen, a lot of people are complaining that I'm not out right now."
The Borger ISD board is set to meet at 7 p.m. Thursday, July 14, 2011, in the board conference room of the BISD Administration Building, 200 East Ninth.
Following roll call, the board will consider action on a complaint from Jimmy and Darasha regarding an attendance committee decision, subject to Texas Government Codes 551.071 and 551.082.
Janet Johnson takes advantage of the warm summer weather by giving the plants at the Fritch Community Gardens some much-needed water.

The burn ban in Hutchinson County will continue.
Hutchinson County Commissioners acted to extend the burn ban after speaking with Fire Marshal Danny Richards Monday morning. County Judge Faye Blanks said that certain areas have continued with a disaster declaration that could be extended with additions. However, Richards said he found it best to just stick with the burn ban for the time being.
"It will be more efficient," he said.
He also stated that the area is 11 inches behind in average moisture and no signs of any precipitation are present in the near future.
The Stinnett Police Department has received a tip on an ID theft case which has been under investigation.
The tip is in regards to an ID theft video collected by the department from the Borger Dollar General.
The video shows a suspect forging his signature for purchased items that were initially bought on May 27, 2011.

Big Bang (Ability)
this wiki
|Relm: I couldn't miss the chance to practice my drawing!
|This article is in need of a few pictures. Perhaps you can help by uploading and adding a picture or two.
Big Bang (ビッグバン, Bigguban?) is a recurring ability in the Final Fantasy series. It is usually related to Zeromus, and therefore appears as an enemy ability and a summon ability.
Final Fantasy IVEdit
Big Bang makes its first appearance as the ultimate ability of Zeromus. Big Bang inflicts massive damage to all party members and inflicts Sap. Zeromus uses it as his opening move and several more times throughout the battle.
The superboss in the Advance version, Zeromus EG, will open with this move.
Final Fantasy IV: The After YearsEdit
Big Bang returns along with Zeromus after being resurrected as Zeromus's Malice by the Mysterious Girl. He uses it during the Lunarian chapter as his final attack, which then shows to destroy the Crystal Palace.
Final Fantasy X-2Edit
Big Bang is used only by the optional boss, Paragon in Final Fantasy X-2. The ability deals massive non-elemental damage to all members of the opposing party.
Final Fantasy XIIEdit
Zeromus uses Big Bang as his ultimate summon ability. The attack is a Gravity attack and the damage is calculated by removing Zeromus's current HP from his maximum HP, and multiplying what is left by five. The max damage this can apply is 69,425, if Zeromus has a single HP left and is at level 99.
Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIIIEdit
Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the RiftEdit
Zeromus uses Big Bang as its Scion's Wrath. The damage removed is equal to the user's current HP taken from its maximum. 50% chance of being successful.
Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of LightEdit
Big Bang is used by the final form of Chaos. The attack inflicts major non-elemental damage to all members of the opposing party. After Chaos is defeated, he uses an upgraded version called Bigger Bang.
Final Fantasy DimensionsEdit
This ability is used by the final boss known as Chaos Elgo. It is very powerful and affects the whole party by dealing non-elemental magic damage.
Final Fantasy All the BravestEdit
Big Bang is the enemy ability that is used by Zeromus during battle.
[view · edit · purge]The Big Bang was, according to the prevailing cosmological theory of the universe's early development, the event that led to the formation of the universe.
