The latest installment in Altamont's "Cut From A Different Cloth" video series follows Randy Randall, the frontman of the punk band No Age who is also embarking on a solo project. Randall discusses his creative process and offers up lots of feel-good clichés including:
"It's not about being the best, it's about being yourself and the doing the best you can do."
"It's not a competition, it's just expression."
"You can't be afraid to fail, because everybody fails. The only way you really fail is if you don't get back up and do it again."
"If you have fun, it doesn't matter if it is good or not."
This concludes today's installment of punk rock self affirmation.

Ubuntu Has New Sample Content Art
For quite a while Ubuntu had been including example-content packages with its releases that contained the same content: some audio and video data to test the playback, including a video of Nelson Mandela.
Ubuntu contributor Jono Bacon had been calling for renewed content and announced a competition that ended September 4. The competition is now over and Bacon presents the winners in his blog.
While Ubuntu users submitted a host of audio samples, there were only two video submissions. The winner in the audio category was Andrés Vidau of Mexico. Bacon's blog includes Vidau's instrumental track that he created using the free OGG format. The video category winner was 14 year old Andrew Higginson with his stop motion animation produced almost exclusively with free software (Whiteboard, Ffmpeg, Mencoder among others). The 2-Mbyte video can be seen on the archive.org site. Vidau's and Higginson's submissions will become part of the next Ubuntu 8.10.
According to Bacon, the next versions of Ubuntu will continue to incorporate the creative work of its users. The stipulation is that submitted work must come under the CC-BY-SA license, which grants attribution rights, but also share-alike rights to ensure that licensees may distribute derivative works only under a license identical to the original.

San Francisco Community Alternative School is a kindergarten through eighth grade school which strives to create a learning environment where all students can develop the skills and tools they need to become effective decision makers and productive citizens in today's world.
Since our beginning in 1972, we have and to construct a strong support system for the personal growth of each student. The staff and community work together to learn about and practice antiracist, culturally conscious and inclusive ways of being to create a school culture that supports all students to meet our high standards and goals of excellence.
In our effort to provide all students with a meaningful and relevant education, the program at San Francisco Community School focuses on developing and implementing an interdisciplinary challange-based approach to learning. Students spend half the school year (two nine week sessions) in their project classes. We believe these stratergies help raise overrall student achievment while also addressing and redressing inequities in achievement, performance and school experience.

The Other Side
Most often I show you this side of the park Jardin du Luxembourg in Paris. Simply because I like it a little bit more. Although this side (seen in the photos above) isn't my favourite park of the park it's still very pretty. And quite spectacular as well. If you only saw the palm trees and that amazing building I wouldn't think we were in Paris anymore!

I used to ride the road race bike (drop bars) wearing a tracksuit before I was introduced to bike-specific clothing. Now I cant ride that bike without the bike-clothes, it's impossible, feels too uncomfortable/not-right/unnatural.
Some of you guys wear regular clothes when cycling to work, but is that on non-dropbar bikes.... is it more comfortable to wear regular clothes on a more upright bike?

He should think himself lucky he is riding the bike after VR NH and JB have done some work on it. In that race he did nothing that Rossi or Hayden has not done with the bike before. He did one good qualifying lap and started well but went back like he was dragging an anchor. He is going to have to get used to disappointment because that is a good track for Ducati there are tracks where they will not go so well. Its exactly the same as it was for Rossi last season there is something that is just not quite right with that bike if they can fix it the bike could start winning again but they must sort it out before the malaise sets in for Dovi. He is not as good a rider as the other top boys so he needs that bike sorted!

Digital Potentiometers Information
Digital potentiometers are three-terminal resistors with an adjustable center connection. To set the output resistance, a digital signal is sent through an electrical interface.
Digital Potentiometers Configurations
There are two main configurations for digital potentiometers: single resistor and resistor chip array.
Single resistors are standard, passive resistors with a single resistance value.
Resistor chip arrays contain several resistors housed in a single package.
For both digital potentiometer configurations, specifications include current rating, resistance range, temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR), tolerance, number of steps or taps, operating direct current (DC) voltage, and operating temperature. For resistor chip arrays, the number of resistors in the package is also an important consideration.
Digital Potentiometers Parameters
Resistance taper and wiper memory are additional parameters to consider when selecting digital potentiometers.
Resistance Taper
There are two choices for resistance taper: linear and log (audio).
Digital potentiometers with a linear taper provide an equal change in resistance per unit of rotation.
By contrast, devices with a log or audio taper provide a logarithmic change in resistance per unit of rotation.
Wiper Memory
Wiper memory for digital potentiometers is either volatile or non-volatile.
Volatile memory is lost when power is turned off.
Non-volatile memory is retained even when power is removed.
Categories & Features
Digital potentiometers differ in terms of categories, applications, and features. Categories include precision resistors and telecom resistors.
Precision resistors have a very low TCR and a very low tolerance value.
Telecom resistors are designed for telecommunications devices such as mobile phones and two-way radios.
In terms of applications, digital potentiometers for aerospace, audio / video (AV), automotive, and medical applications are commonly available. Industrial resistors are suitable for a variety of heavy-duty, industrial applications.
General-use devices are used in consumer products, computers or disk drives, and to provide over-current protection. Some digital potentiometers are water-cooled or provide electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection. Others feature a fireproof case, an electrically isolated case, or have a non-flame coating.
Digital potentiometers that are sold in European Union (EU) nations must meet three important directives: Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS), End-of-Life Vehicles (ELV), and Waste Electrical and Electronics Equipment (WEEE).
RoHS requires all manufactures of electronic and electrical equipment sold in Europe to demonstrate that their products contain only minimal levels of lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyl and polybrominated diphenyl ether.
Similarly, digital potentiometers that are ELV-compliant contain only minimal levels of mercury, cadmium and lead. Suppliers that comply with WEEE are responsible for financing the collection, treatment, recycling and recovery of their products.

Chip Resistors
Chip resistors are passive resistors with a form factor of an integrated circuit (IC) chip. Typically, they are manufactured using thin-film technology.
Current Sensing Resistors
Current sensing resistors convert the current flowing through it to a voltage drop. Monitoring or measuring this voltage drop allows the current through the resistor to be measured. Applications for current sensing resistors include power supplies, receptacles, and battery packs.
Power Resistors
Power resistors are used in power generation and distribution, high-voltage applications, control systems, and other power system applications. They include load banks, grounding resistors, and dynamic braking resistors.
Resistor, Capacitor Networks
Resistor, capacitor networks (RC networks) are integrated circuits (ICs) that contain resistor-capacitor arrays in a single chip.
Resistors are electrical components that oppose the flow of either direct or alternating current. They are used to protect, operate, or control circuits.
Shunt Resistors
Shunts resistors are connected in parallel with an instrument or component to divert electrical current. They provide an alternate path for current in case of failure.

Hey, We're Trendy!0
Check this out: a Charlotte newspaper says that slow cookers are trendy again. We know we love our slow cooker for the heavenly smells, time-saving recipes, and easy family meals, but now we're trendy too!
The article makes a good point that slow cookers are not just for groups: people who cook for 1 or 2 can freeze the leftovers in convenient portions.
Here's a recipe we love to make for the planned leftovers. This version of Brunswick Stew is North Carolina style.
Brunswick Stew
Fix-It and Forget-It Christmas Cookbook, page 181
Prep. Time: 30-60 minutes
Cooking Time: 4 hours
Ideal slow cooker size: 8-quart
Makes 8-10 servings
3 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
reserved chicken broth (from cooking chicken breasts)
2 lbs. lean ground beef
2 15-oz. cans creamed corn
15-oz. can whole-kernel corn, drained
2 cups ketchup
1 cup barbecue sauce
2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
2 large sweet onions, chopped
15-oz. can English peas, drained
1 quart stewed tomatoes
salt and pepper to taste
1. In good-sized stockpot, cook chicken in 2" of water. Cover and cook slowly, just until meat is tender but not at all dry.
2. Remove chicken to platter and allow to cool. Reserve broth. When cool enough to handle, cut chicken in small chunks.
3. Meanwhile, brown ground beef in large skillet. Stir occasionally with wooden spoon, breaking up clumps. Brown until meat is no longer pink.
4. Place 1 cup chicken broth in slow cooker.
5. Drain drippings off browned ground beef and discard. Add beef to slow cooker.
6. Stir all other ingredients into slow cooker.
7. Cover. Cook on Low 4 hours.
1. Add more broth if the Stew gets thicker than you like. Use canned broth if you need to.
2. If you have leftovers, this Stew freezes well and is welcome on any cold day when you want something hot.
3. Serve this as soup, or over pasta.

In the days leading up to my first sex job I was horribly nervous. I kept going over all the things that could go wrong and all the horror stories I had heard about young women being sold into slavery. My legs were shaking as Leslie and I rode the elevator up to the hotel room and it occurred to me that I didn't even know this guy's name. Then… nothing awful happened. Leslie and I entered the hotel room, exchanged awkward pleasantries with a good-natured old man, got paid, did some schoolgirl role-play, and then we each got spanked while the other counted out the blows. It was so clean. So neatly, beautifully transactional. The whole experience was almost boring.
It's worth mentioning that the hotel room television was turned to the news and the anchor was in the midst of exposing the Eliot Spitzer scandal. The irony struck me, of course.
More striking than the scandal itself, though, was the quantity of money exchanged. I knew I couldn't bring in the thousands of dollars Ashley Dupré made, but I was certain that something as universally desired as sex would pay at least as much as I'd just made for getting spanked. …And would certainly pay more regularly than even the most popular fetish.
It took me a few months to work up the nerve to post an advertisement. In the meantime I got spanked a lot, gave a few footjobs, bought a lot of shoes, and considered the pros and cons of going all the way to real prostitution. By the time I actually put up my ad, I was eighteen. I settled on three hundred dollars per hour for my rate and 'Sexy Suicide Girl Wants to Please You!' as my tagline. The response was overwhelming! I managed to pin down two appointments within an hour. It was surreal, all I had to do was get on my back and suddenly everyone wanted to hire me? Why hadn't I done this earlier?
As I looked forward to my first appointment, I alternated between feelings of serene power and terror. Half the time I was romanticizing my new profession and imagining all the money I'd be making. The other half, I was panicking over the myriad things that could go wrong. None of my sex worker friends were official prostitutes, the most any of them did was give a paid blowjob here or there, and most of them didn't even do that. I had no-one to ask for advice. What would I wear? Because I marketed myself as a Suicide Girl-type, I knew guys wouldn't be expecting a polished supermodel to show up at their door, however I wasn't sure if they would be expecting me with my wardrobe of ragged plaid skirts and dresses made for obese children. You can only take the Lolita fetish so far.
It may seem strange, but I wasn't concerned about the sex. I was already having mediocre sex with near-strangers regularly enough that I viewed prostitution as just getting paid to refrain from kicking the asshole out of bed. Beyond the aesthetics, I was sure I was more than prepared to become a whore.

Another key development was a $100,000 gift from Philadelphia law firm Duane Morris. Nolan Atkinson, GL'69, a partner at Duane Morris and former colleague of Sadie Alexander, worked behind the scenes to enlist the support of both Evans and his law firm. In addition, hundreds of alumni, students, and friends of the Alexanders' helped establish the chair with their contributions.

When hunting for the big stock market winners of the future, there is only one place to look.
Believe it or not, some investors were able to boast about their 2008 stock returns.
Who are these people, you ask? Investors in these top-performing stocks of 2008:
Notice anything about those companies? They're small. A couple of them are very small. Now compare their performance to the top 5 performers of the FTSE 100 Index:
While the latter is nothing to sneeze at, particularly given that the FTSE 100 slumped 31% in 2008, wouldn't you rather have the former?
The tendency of small caps to outperform their large cap brethren isn't just a down-market happenstance -- it happens most years. As master investor Jim Slater famously said "Elephants don't gallop".
In any market, the stock with the most potential for outsized returns (stocks that are going to double, triple, or even increase your investment tenfold) are not found among large caps, but rather among shares that are:
Why? Because the market's greatest inefficiencies (and, thereby, greatest opportunities) lie hidden among the investments that City analysts and institutional investors shun only because of their size.
Investing in small-cap shares makes many people nervous -- and today's market volatility is sending many people into the arms of stable, financially pristine large-cap shares. Which makes now an even better time to buy up those oversold small caps.
But not all small companies are equal. You want to make sure you buy small companies that have a rock-solid balance sheet and a solid business model. Both these factors ensure that the company will be around five to 10 years from now, giving it plenty of time to double, triple, or increase tenfold in size.
At our Champion Shares premium stock picking service, these are precisely the kinds of shares Chief Analyst Maynard Paton is recommending right now.

I think that this article is basically correct, with a few provisos:1) Just because multi-bagging stocks are more likely to be small caps does not necessarily mean that small caps will become multi-baggers. (the article does hint at this)2) The smaller the stock, the bigger hit you take on the bid-ask spread. You could lose a high percentage of your investment as soon as you buy in, because you cannot resell it at the same price.Ideally we would like the liquidity (hence small spread) and apparent 'safety' of big cap stocks at small-cap prices and with the possible multi-bagging potential. Well, the financial crisis threw up quite a few of these:Barclays Bank, a 6.5-bagger since March.Enterprise Inns, a 5-bagger since Jan.Allied Irish Bank, a 9-bagger since March...and so on.There are some of the stock that I included in my "2000% in only 12 weeks" portfolio at http://lotontech-money.blogspot.com/2009/05/2000-in-only-12-weeks.html , but I have to say that the performance in this portfolio was as much about sound money management as it was about clever stock picking.

.- Bishop Felipe Arizmendi of San Cristobal de las Casas in southern Mexico has issued a clarification regarding the Holy See's request that he implement a reform of the diocesan deaconate program. The bishop said he does not promote the priestly ordination of married deacons but rather that he only listens to "the petitions of some of the faithful in this matter."
In a statement released to the media, Bishop Arizmendi said, "It should be very clear: We do not encourage the hope for 'a permanent deaconate oriented toward the married priesthood.' We do not promote the ordination of married deacons. We listen to the petitions of some of the faithful in this matter, but we do not encourage them to have hope. Permanent deacons are permanent deacons, and we are not directing them towards the priesthood."
"We thank the Holy See for its concern for our diocese and we appreciate its work to conserve orthodoxy," the bishop said in his statement. "We sincerely apologize for the headache we have caused. But we have the obligation to make you aware of the concerns of our people, to dialogue and clarify that which we believe does not correspond to reality, and to propose solutions to the concrete needs of our local Churches."
"For some time we have been reviewing some of the contents of the Diocesan Directory for the Permanent Deaconate, which was drafted by my predecessors, so that it conforms to the national and universal directories," he added.
This week the Notimex news agency published another letter from the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments—the third such missive in the last 14 months sent to the Diocese of San Cristobal de las Casas asking for the deaconate program to be corrected.

When you fold it up and check it onto the airplane, do you buy the extra insurance in case it never arrives? Or do you just hope for the best?
Two wheels good. Four wheels bad.
I hope for the best. Never had a problem.
My understanding of most airline insurance plans, is they pay by weight per bag, not by contents. So it's unlikely you'll get anything close to the value of a folder bike, should they loose your bike. A policy would be nice. But, I could never find a decent plan. Those policies they sell at the airport, usually limited to 500 dollars and mostly cover items such as flight cancelations. Should You find one please let us know. Start with a permanent rider on your homeowners, I suggest. And, once my bike was on a flight from Paris to Los Angeles. The bike went on to Tahiti, but I got off in LA. But, luckily they did get my bike back after a week's vacation for it in Tahiti. It was my Klein. I was on pins and needles.
It's a sickening feeling to wait and wait and not see your bike at baggage claim.
Nah.We were jealous to see where my Klein spent a week, so we vacationed there ourselves about two years later. Poor guy. Riding is not that great on Tahiti Island( too congested. ) , but pretty good on Morrea. But, then it was without it's captain. Wish I had checked the odometer to see if it went anywhere without me.
This thread is a year old, so I thought I'd just check in and see if anyone's thinking has changed on bike insurance while traveling?
I'm going to be flying to Texas next week with my Birdy, and would be unhappy if it got lost or mangled by the baggage handlers...

UM-Dearborn embraces 'metropolitan vision'
DEARBORN---"The University of Michigan-Dearborn delivers the academic
excellence of the University of Michigan in leadership and service to
metropolitan Detroit," according to Chancellor Daniel Little.
Little outlined "an aspirational vision" for the future of
the campus in a presentation to the U-M Regents at their meeting on the
Dearborn campus on May 19.
"Over the last year, the students, faculty and staff of the University
of Michigan-Dearborn have been engaged in an inclusive and comprehensive
examination of our role and mission," Little said. "Our goal
in this process has been to develop a new vision for the University of
Michigan-Dearborn, one that focuses considerable attention on the impact
that a school like ours can have on this region."
The yearlong process culminated in a campus-wide retreat in April that
reflected widespread support among faculty, staff and students for the
"metropolitan university" vision and mission for the Dearborn
"This beginning sets out a challenging but constructive roadmap
of our work for the next five years," Little said. "In a nutshell,
this agenda has four related components: we need to increase enrollment;
enhance student engagement (in the classroom, in student life, and in
our communities); deepen academic excellence; and achieve metropolitan
Little described plans to increase enrollment to approximately 12,000
student over the next decade, helping to meet the goals set out earlier
this year by the Cherry Commission. Enrollment at the campus is nearly
9,000 now, and the campus has added major new classroom and lab space
that will allow it to grow without incurring major new costs.
UM-Dearborn attracts one of the most competitive student bodies in the
state, and was rated among the top five master's-level public universities
in the Midwest in the annual guide to American colleges published last
fall by U.S. News. In addition, the campus's College of Engineering and
Computer Science was rated among the top undergraduate engineering programs
in the country.
Nearly 20 percent of the total undergraduate student body of the University
of Michigan's three campuses is enrolled in Dearborn, Little noted. In
addition, approximately 80 percent of the campus's alumni continue to
live in southeastern Michigan. "In all the areas where our region
needs strong and capable leaders, you will find UM-Dearborn alumni working
as agents of social progress in genuinely practical ways," Little
By identifying itself as a "metropolitan university" UM-Dearborn
will be joining nearly 100 other institutions across the country that
are characterized by their links with the intellectual and educational
needs of their surrounding communities.
The UM-Dearborn campus has two main missions, Little said. "Our
first priority is providing a high-quality University of Michigan education
to the future leaders and citizens of our region," he said. "The
other element of our commitment is the ambitious application of our intellectual
resources directly to key regional needs and opportunities."
In his presentation to the Regents, Little cited five specific areas
where the campus can make our resources can make a difference: supporting
competitive manufacturing; addressing racial and ethnic discrimination;
tackling environmental challenges in an urban setting; working with K-12
schools and early childhood programs; and helping regional leaders develop
the complex skills they need to better serve their communities.
"These are areas where there is significant challenge, where the
University of Michigan-Dearborn has real strength, and where there is
potential for long-term positive impact," Little said.
This vision of the Dearborn campus also offers benefits to the entire
university, Little said. "A stronger UM-Dearborn makes the University
of Michigan stronger." He cited several areas where collaborations
between Dearborn and Ann Arbor have strengthened the efforts of both campuses
in metropolitan Detroit.
"The University of Michigan-Dearborn can become a national example
of a high-quality metropolitan university, serving important metropolitan
needs," Little said.
The UM-Dearborn campus was established in 1959 with a gift from the Ford
Motor Company. Since that time, it has developed into a comprehensive
university offering undergraduate and professional degree programs in
the liberal arts and sciences, engineering, management, education and
public administration.

Distressed housing auctions have become a common concept since the foreclosure crisis manifested six years ago, but another type of auction has blossomed in the past several years as well: the non-distressed luxury home auction. Companies like Concierge Auctions take on high-end properties, typically ones that have languished on the market for an extended period of time, market them and then host an outcry auction for vetted qualified buyers. Whomever bids the highest amount (above the reserve if it's not an absolute auction) gets the home. The new buyer must close on the property within 30 days of the winning bid. The seller offloads the property and the buyer typically gets a bargain. For example the Happy Valley estate in Scottsdale, Ariz. (pictured above) fetched $5.5 million in a 2012 auction after failing to find a buyer willing to pay $13.9 million.

UPDATE - Logbook of the World should be returned to service by 9AM EST 09 Nov 2012 (2012-11-09 1400Z)
November 8 – In a comment, Tom N4NW updates readers with more info behind the current LoTW crash.
November 7 - ARRL have announced no data has been lost (contrary to DX World's source) whilst they also have no time-frame on when LoTW will actually be back up and running.
ARRL Information Technology Manager Michael Keane, K1MK, is reporting that the Logbook of The World (LoTW) system is currently down for maintenance. "With the system temporarily down, radio amateurs are not able to access LoTW or upload their logs,†Keane explained. "No data has been lost, and everyone's records are intact. We understand the problem and we are in the process of restoring service to LoTW, but we don't know when that will happen.
November 6 — DX World.net has learned that potentially up to "45% of [recently] uploaded logs and delivered awards / DXCC certificates have been lost due to corrupted database / backups". It's currently unknown if the "missing" data can be retrieved.
As can be seen from the latest message on the ARRL LoTW homepage, the Logbook team is investigating the issue.
Earlier, users were seeing this particular message as they tried to log-in:
Fatal error: initializeLOTWDB: -709 – CONNECT: (cannot connect to server socket): General database error [initializeLOTWDB: -709 – CONNECT: (cannot connect to server socket)
Hopefully problems can be resolved. An official update from LoTW developers would, of course, be beneficial.
Yes, LOTW back and all records there. Can we get back to working DX now?
Thank God !
Fatal error: initializeLOTWDB: -709 – CONNECT: (protocol error): General database error [initializeLOTWDB: -709 - CONNECT: (protocol error)]
I'm sorry but LoTW is down now one more time!!!
It's 2012-11-10 01:58 (UTC)
LOTW is normal, but we are not allowed to upload data QSO, when we can up load the data QSO again?
In October, 2003 issue of QST, the American Radio Relay League (ARRL) announced the start of Logbook of the World (LoTW) September 15, 2003. Wayne Mills, N7NG outlined in the announcement how LotW would work with a simple procedure under a system to ensure the validity of QSOs.
In the past decade, LotW has grown to more than 53,000 users and nearly a half billion (456 million) QSOs on file. However, this 50k users represent less than 3% of the licensed hams in the world. In Mills original article he states that use of LoTW will be paid for by usage in the form of credits purchased by users seeking DXCC, WAS and WPX awards programs.
If would appear that the income from the users has lagged far behind the cost of improvement and maintenance of the computer system(s) – hardware & software. Initial problems appeared after the first major DX contest in 2011 then the LoTW servers seemed to choke with the influx of logs in October, 2011. Days would pass before uploaded logs would be processed into the LoTW database. The ARRL offered little in the way of explanation other that a vague comment that it was the sheer number of logs uploaded after the contest which created the slowdown.
In mid October of this year, once again LoTW crashed. No public comment was made by the ARRL until three days after LoTW stopped working and that was a vaguely worded comment that the system was undergoing maintenance. I received Information from an ARRL staffer that the system, ' ran out of memory.' Later in the week the ARRL stated that they expected LoTW to resume operation at the end of the week. Still no official word has been forthcoming as to what actually happened, nor what steps were being taken to prevent another failure. The only thing the ARRL emphasized was that no data was lost.
During the 2012 National Capitol DX Association DX East convention, ARRL Membership and Volunteer Programs Manager Dave Patton, NN1N, stated that there was no intent by the ARRL to change the method users become validated – LoTW system emphasizes secure authentication using cryptographic key distribution. The ARRL, unlike most other secure online systems, still relies on paper validation of users in the form of a license copy and some form of official identification document for non-US licensees to be sent via mail to ARRL headquarters and the return of the digital key being mailed back to the requester before one can become a LoTW user. Perhaps it is this antiquated method of adding users to LoTW that the ARRL relied upon to prevent usage that causes the system to crash.
In mid November, an ARRL staffer was reported as blaiming extensive use of LoTW on contests but on third party software programs – such as DXLab & DX4WIN as the reason it is slow and crashes.
It is time for the users, and potential uses of LoTW, contact the members of the ARRL board of directors directly and demand that sufficient resources be devoted to the LoTW system to ensure its efficient and reliable operation for not only today but in the future. A list of ARRL Directors & vice Directors with their contact information may be found at this web page http://www.arrl.org/divisions
If you are an ARRL member ask your Director to:
• Respond to you why LoTW is crashing and not operating efficiently,
• Respond to you as to what steps he/she is taking to ensure sufficient resources are being devoted to the LoTW system
• Encourage a more modern and simple means for non-US licensees can become authenticated as LoTW users
• Create an ARRL headquarters staff position with the responsibility for LoTW & online data based awards program operations.
If you are not a LoTW user, complete the steps to become an authenticated user and use LoTW daily to upload, maintain and back-up your logs.
I couldn't agree more with Tom N4NW, a well written and clear post it is.
By the way this is what I just found on LoTW's Home page, the '4 days Behind' became '6 days Behind'.
"Nov 19, 2012: LoTW Log Processing is About 6 Days Behind — The system is processing log data a little slower than usual, but is working. There is a very large number of logs in the queue — thanks for your patience and for using LoTW, and we will continue to work to streamline the system."
I find this totally unacceptable. Still as Tom says, no ARRL announcement as to what happened, as to which measures were or are going to be taken, short and middle term.
I see queues runing full (as in overflow) once the the CQ WW CW logs are being loaded next week.
I remember last year, after the CQWW SSB it tooks exactly one month to proceed the backlog, and once LOTW was back to normal, then the CQWW CW appears and we were again on backlog for about a month. This year, it looks different, there is still 6 days backlog (and keep increasing) and the CQWW CW is less than a week ahead ! (I'm afraid the backlog will be counted in weeks after this weekend :)
I'm not a database specialist but I wonder why the LOTW administrators can not disabled automatically the upload and search features of LOTW once the backlog has reached a certain amount (let says more than a day) ? So no additional logs will be added to the queue until the backlog will be resume. This will avoid the one uploading they log every second QSO and also the automatic software to generate additional load on the system for a while.
At the end, I'm afraid the issue LOTW Admins are facing is related to the architecture of the systems, designed in 2003 and not scalable anymore 10 years later. What I hope is that after the clear warning of 2011 CQWW and the crash of this year, they will now seriously think about the architecture evolution of the LOTW.
I have noticed that twice now since the 19th of November, contacts that I submitted to lotw and got the "queued" message do not show up. Contacts submitted later do. I have resubmitted those qso, but this makes me think that all is not right.
Found one again this morning. A contact made early in the morning local cdst on the 25th of November is missing but the two following it later in the day showed up. Resubmitted and sent another email to lotw.
There was a ARRL post concerning LotW today. The found the root-cause for a few queued logs not posting and have fixed the issue. But it appears resubmittal is needed.
Hi all,
I for one am happy that the ARRL finally understood it's to better communicate with its LoTW users.
I saw the post too and now see there's another post mentioning the successful implementation of the fix.
The log book status (Home page) counters aren't increasing, none of them.
It's been like that for several hours now.
LoTW down again:

In a metric space $X$ for all $x \in X, r > 0$ following is true: $B(x,r) \subseteq \overline{B(x,r)} \subseteq \overline{B}(x,r)$. Here $\overline{B(x,r)}$ is the closure of the open ball of center $x$, radius $r$ and $\overline{B}(x,r)$ is the closed ball of center $x$, radius $r$. The discrete metric gives an example where $B(x,r) = \overline{B(x,r)} \subsetneq \overline{B}(x,r) \ $ by having $X$ be a set with at least two elements, $x \in X$ and $r = 1$. My question is, is there an example where you have proper inclusion between all three sets?

Gearing up globally
With world economies becoming more integrated each day, Kettering's new master's of science degree in Engineering Management prepares students for the global technical environment through advanced business education.
From a historian's perspective, the elongated shadow of globalization cast many years ago continues to grow.
One example: the automotive sector. Before 1970, repair shops had to purchase replacement parts for U.S. cars directly from original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), which had no competition in this market. This situation came to represent what the Insurance Information Institute describes on its website as "a lucrative monopoly, which they have fought to preserve". But when independent manufacturers in other countries decided they had had enough, they began producing their own replacement parts and the automotive world suddenly changed. Prices dropped and competition here and abroad increased exponentially.
Today, it's rare, if not impossible, to find an American car that uses components manufactured by U.S. firms. Many industries like the automotive sector are realizing important cost savings by securing components, parts and services from numerous firms from many different parts of the globe. This globalized approach to manufacturing and business in general is nothing new: over the past decade companies have outsourced work and manufacturing at an alarming rate, with some degree of success. Initially, this caused a great stir among industry leaders, political analysts and pundits. Although there remains a healthy debate about the necessity and financial feasibility of outsourcing to other countries, one evolutionary result of this practice is that firms throughout the world recognize that the global marketplace represents an important opportunity to sell products to a large base of customers and to develop global relationships with vendors and corporations that might eventually yield financial advantages and increased market share.
And with this increasing emphasis on global markets, companies recognize a need for technical professionals with international business experience. But are there professionals in the U.S. who have superior technical skills and business expertise to handle the challenges of an ever expanding global marketplace?
This is one question that might be answered through Kettering University's new master's of science degree program in Engineering Management, which prepares professionals for the demands of the global economy through two key objectives:
- implement a program that provides engineering and technical managers with an educational experience to prepare them for careers as managers in their chosen field; and
- provide these professionals with an international experience to prepare them for careers as managers in an integrated global market.
Dr. Tony Hain, head of Kettering's Dept. of Business, said that the new program offers both U.S. and German students from Kettering's European partner institutions an opportunity to network and learn about each other's culture and professional perspectives, since students from Kettering, Esslingen University and Reutlingen University will also pursue this degree. "Students from both countries will be in class together," he explained, adding that this experience will "reinforce their learning by exposing them to their counterparts from another country who may view topics in different and important ways. Not only do Kettering students have the chance to learn about different cultures, they also develop friendships and professional relationships with German students, and learn about the corporate culture and social structure of another country."
Hain said that the Dept. of Business Advisory Board played a crucial role in helping Kettering craft this new degree program. Representatives from some of these companies-such as General Motors Corp. (GM) and DaimlerChrysler-expressed a need to insure that all course offerings had an international flavor. Since many major manufacturers like GM now employ a common engineering platform in all facilities throughout the world in an effort to save money and increase efficiency, companies now expect engineers to develop the technical and business skills necessary to work in the global marketplace.
A key champion of this degree program, Hain said, is Dr. Neil McCarthy '65, associate professor of Business at Kettering, who helped propel program development through his close relationships with officials and faculty from Esslingen and Reutlingen Universities. McCarthy worked with faculty at these institutions to craft offerings that would benefit both U.S. and German students and faculty while meeting the global needs of industry.
"This is really a natural program development," McCarthy said. Ultimately, he hopes that this program will expand into such markets as China through a partnership with the University of China in Xian. Other plans include the potential for a faculty exchange between the German institutions and Kettering, in which faculty from Kettering would teach a few weeks at the German institutions and faculty from Esslingen and Reutlingen would do the same at Kettering.
Specific program components include Kettering engineering undergraduates working on completing all requirements for a Management minor. After this, students will take five required courses in Management and a non-credit course in the German language. Students will then take 16 credit hours at Esslingen University or 16 at Reutlingen University. Finally, students will complete a comprehensive learning experience course after returning to the U.S. and Kettering. This effort will typically involve solving a complex technical problem with global implications, which helps exercise all that students learned during the program through practical application.
Thus far, students who have enrolled in the program express great enthusiasm. According to Tyanna Lange, business manager for the Dept. of Business, students are excited about this opportunity. The program will start fall term 2007 at Kettering, then from January to May students will take 16 credit hours during two terms at Esslingen, or 16 credits at Reutlingen from March through July. Some of the subjects they will cover include International Finance, Law, Systems Technology, Case Study Production Management, Business Process Reengineering and Marketing.
