Artist Working On The Live-Action Akira Remake Speaks Out
By Sean O'Connell 2011-07-07 11:10:21 comments
Major Hollywood projects come and go for various reasons. Budgets fall apart. Talent exits for greener pastures. Trends that once were hot go ice cold. But rarely do we get the kind of behind-the-scenes feedback regarding what went wrong on an anticipated blockbuster as Chris Weston gives us now.
Weston is a British comic artist whose credits include titles like Judge Dredd and Swamp Thing. He transitioned to the film industry by doing storyboards and concept art for The Book of Eli with the Hughes Brothers. And for the past year, Weston worked as a production artist on Albert Hughes planned live-action version of Katsuhiro Ohtomos anime classic Akira. Even though the project reportedly isnt happening any time soon, Weston takes to his blog to inform fans that pulling the plug on the project probably was best for all involved.
As if we didnt already know that from the moment a live-action Akira was announced.
So what went wrong? Weston says one of his first assignments on Hughes film was to redesign Kaneda's motorcycle. I was as horrified as you are, Weston admits, probably more, 'cos I was the one the fanboys were going to come for when they inevitably declared it a travesty. He also says there was a brief discussion about turning the protagonists bike black, which to borrow Westons own word would have been another travesty. At the very least, they took into consideration that Kaneda, the lead protagonist, is part of a biker gang in the story, so they dirtied to look of the cycle and gave it some significant battle dents. Now its all for naught.
Weston is short on specific details, saying everything he produced on behalf of the production is protected by legal documents. Plus, he added that his designs might see the light of day some day if a live-action Akira finds a proper director and cast. But I think the best thing Warner Bros. could do is cut their losses when it comes to Akira. Theres already a perfectly good version of Ohtomos futuristic graphic novel, and its animated.
Speaking of animated, Weston says he concurrently worked on his own book, The Twelve, and capped the blog post with sketches from the upcoming Rocketeer Adventures 2, written by Mark Waid and on sale now.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Utah has issued almost a dozen registration cards in the first month of its limited medical marijuana program that allows those with severe epilepsy to possess cannabis extract oil.
Janice Houston with the Utah Department of Health says 11 cards were issued from July 8 through Friday.
Houston says the department also cut the $400 annual fee for the cards in half after the program's startup costs were less than expected.
Health officials are refunding those who already paid the higher fee.
Utah's law doesn't allow medical marijuana distribution but permits those meeting certain requirements to possess the extract believed to help with severe seizures.
Annette Maughan of the Epilepsy Association of Utah says she expects the lower fees will allow more people to participate in the program.

When China's influential newspaper Southern Weekly invited Creator Ray Lei to present at Think Plus (kind of like the Chinese version of TED Talks), Lei created a six-minute animation called Big Hands Oh Big Hands, Let It Be Bigger And Bigger (above) in lieu of a speech.
Drawn in Lei's colorful and youthfull animation style, Big Hands follows the story of a little boy with tiny hands, a sort of ugly duckling character in a world of people with big hands whose appendages allow them to do big things. Inspired by the warm and simple animation aesthetic championed by the Shanghai Animation Film Studio in the 80s, this is another of Lei's works that tugs at the heartstrings in every aspect, from story to animation to sound design. Lei wrote the soundtrack's lyrics and then he and his partner Li Xingyu taught them to a group of kindergartners and recorded their rendition.
Lei worked closely with his father on this project, who created the title sequences for the last seven of Lei's projects. Growing up watching his father hand-write typeface on books and publications as a profession, Lei now gets to incorporate the work of a traditional craftsman, lending an air of historical foundation to the end products.
Find out the roots of Ray Lei's animation style in our profile below.

I want to ask a question regarding the (automatic) installation of .NET FrameWork in the installer of my application.
Basically I want to know whether it is possible to do it with an (open-source) installer.
But I don't know what the right site for it is.
It's not specifically programming related (SO), but I also don't know if it suits SU (nor whether people on SU will be able to help me).
What do you guys say?

NIST releases draft trusted cloud geolocation proof of concept
Security challenges involving infrastructure-as-a-service cloud computing technologies and geolocation are being addressed in a draft proof of concept implementation document (.pdf) from the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
Determining the approximate physical location of a cloud computing server is known as geolocation, "but traditional geolocation methods are not secured and they are enforced through management and operational controls that cannot be automated and scaled, and therefore traditional geolocation methods cannot be trusted to meet cloud security needs," NIST says.
The proof of concept is an attempt to improve cloud security and accelerate cloud adoption via an automated hardware root of trust method to oversee geolocation restrictions for cloud servers.
NIST drafted the document as part of its statutory responsibilities for developing information security standards and guidelines under the Federal Information Security Management Act. The public comment period on the draft ends Jan. 31.

Traditionally, manufacturing companies, particularly in the auto industry, have looked only inside their own industries for executive talent.
"The thinking in the auto industry has been that you need an old auto guy to run a business in this space," says Gary Chaison, professor of industrial relations at Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts. "The feeling has been that you need someone who grew through the ranks and understands the relationships and products."
But with the hiring of Nardelli, it seems that this line of thinking, like many of the old assumptions within the auto industry, is a thing of the past, Chaison says.
Nardelli's appointment as head of Chrysler, which was announced on Monday, August 6, came just days after New York-based private equity firm Cerberus Capital Management completed its acquisition of the automaker from DaimlerChrysler.
Industry observers were surprised by the appointment, but weren't surprised that Cerberus went outside the auto industry for a CEO, says Pete Hastings, an auto analyst with Morgan Keegan, an equity research firm based in Memphis, Tennessee.
"The fact that the company went outside of the auto industry for executive talent just points to the fact that there needs to be a dramatic transformation in the thinking of leadership at automobile companies," Hastings says.
But it was somewhat surprising that the company tapped Nardelli, who resigned earlier this year after much controversy over his $28 million annual salary. "He isn't who I would have picked," Hastings says.
Terms of Nardelli's compensation were not disclosed, but reports say it is tied to the company's performance.
Chrysler is the second of Detroit's "Big Three" auto manufacturers to tap CEOs from outside the industry. Last fall, Ford Motor tapped former Boeing CEO Alan Mulally as its top officer.
The reality is that auto manufacturers don't have a choice but to look elsewhere for top senior-level talent, says Arthur Wheaton, a workplace and industry education specialist at Cornell University.
"The industry has had so much turnover that they just don't have the talent base that they once did," he says.
But how Nardelli performs will determine if other auto manufacturers will accept talent from the outside to lead their companies, observers say.
"The question that the United Auto Workers and others are asking is: Will Nardelli just focus on making the firm profitable in the short term, or will he be able to turn around Chrysler into a profitable company for the long term?" Chaison says.
And if more private equity firms scoop up automotive manufacturers, it's only a matter of time before more outsiders infiltrate the industry, says Robert Chiaravalli, a labor lawyer and principal at Strategic Labor and Human Resources in West Bloomfield, Michigan.
"Investment banks tend to pull expertise from a lot of different industries," he says. "As long as they are involved in these turnaround deals, I think you will seem more outsiders coming in."

Travel Salem Named Top 100 Best Green Companies to Work For in Oregon
Travel Salem has been selected as a "Top 100 Best Green Companies to Work For in Oregon" by Oregon Business magazine. The rankings were unveiled at a luncheon held at the Hilton Portland & Executive Tower on Tuesday, June 1, 2010. Travel Salem was one of only five Salem businesses recognized — and the only nonprofit — ranking 80th overall.
Travel Salem's "Green Team," a group of employees in charge with making the workplace more sustainable, led the way in developing an eco-savvy culture that buy-in to sustainable practices. Travel Salem is certified EarthWISE through Marion County's business environmental assistance program; incorporating sustainable practices in the business such as recycling, reducing waste and saving energy. Travel Salem's Travel Café and administrative office was designed with sustainability in mind; using recycled and earth-friendly materials, natural light, among other features. Last March, the Travel Café received an award for "Green Building Retrofit of the Year" at the 2010 Mid-Willamette Valley Green Awards.
Based on its widely recognized "100 Best Companies to Work For in Oregon" project, the 100 Best Green Companies were determined by an anonymous employee survey and an independent assessment of the employers' sustainability practices. There were 503 organizations and more than 26,000 employees participating in the project. Companies must enter either the 100 Best Companies survey or the 100 Best Nonprofits survey to be eligible for the 100 Best Green ranking. Last year, Travel Salem was recognized as the 16th best small nonprofit and 21st overall to work for in Oregon. The next 100 Best Nonprofits rankings will be announced in September.
The "100 Best Green Companies to Work For in Oregon" is featured in the June "Green Issue" of Oregon Business magazine, which is out now.

Featured KEEP Participant
For Retired Teacher, KEEP is a Wake-up Call
Sometimes we find that the steps that are the most difficult to take are the most rewarding, especially when it comes to making healthier lifestyle choices. Concerned about her hypertension and family history of kidney failure, Venisa Wilkes wanted to find out more about chronic kidney disease. When the Pittsburgh resident realized that the National Kidney Foundation was holding one of their free Kidney Early Evaluation Programs at her local community center she knew it was time to take action. She was quick to sign up, and extremely glad that she did; "I got more information here than I ever got from my doctor," said Venisa.
On site, the 60 year-old, retired elementary school teacher showed a blood pressure reading of 169/90, and protein in her urine; both silent symptoms of chronic kidney disease (CKD). She also discovered that her kidney function had decreased to a point that indicated she was in the onset of Kidney Disease. Although shaken at first, she acted quickly to follow the advice she received during her consultation with one of the KEEP volunteer nephrologists at the screening. With a greater understanding of how risk factors like hypertension and diabetes can alter Kidney function, she began to make various lifestyle changes to prevent further kidney damage.
First, she purchased a blood pressure monitor and began checking her readings twice per day in order to make sure that her hypertension was being kept under control. Shortly after, she visited a nutritionist who helped her plan changes in her diet that would help her bring down her blood pressure to a more healthy level. Even though her new dietary changes may have been enough, Mrs. Wilkes did not stop there; she took it one step further and joined a local gym.
Since implementing these changes, she revisited nephrologist and the results are looking much brighter than they did on the day of her screening. "The nephrologist said my readings are improving; they're not where they need to be quite yet, but I am on the right path and KEEP put me there" said Venisa. "Since those tests my blood pressure has gone down 30 points, I have changed my diet, and feel better about myself."

Have Real Estate Law Questions? Ask a Real Estate Lawyer.
Thanks Roger, that is that we thought concerning the arbitration. The cost of the "bump out" was $3,900. The builder is offering to remove that cost from the contract, since they did not build the house to the contract. When you say that we could sue for the cost of replacement/repairing the problem, could we potentially sue for the cost of adding the two feet to the house by another contractor after closing? A modification like that would be very costly. And obviously the value of the house is reduced since the house is 80 sq feet smaller.
That is good to know. We have a meeting with the builder this week to discuss. Knowing that we are entitled to that gives us more confidence in speaking to him, now that we know we have a case for arbitration. Do you know how quick arbitration hearings usually take to get scheduled? If the builder cannot come to agreement with us and we do go to arbitration, should we close that that pending, or should the closing be delayed?
Thank you Roger. That is very helpful.
One additional question. If we go to arbitration and sue for the cost to repair the error to make the house conform to the contract. Are we then required to make the repairs?
Thank you, XXXXX XXXXX been very helpful! Have a great day.

Thank you for your question. Please permit me to assist you this afternoon.I am glad to hear that you prevailed in the past. Hopefully this time the situation will again be in your favor.Generally speaking overpaying without first stating why is not grounds to underpay later. Child support payments are what the state deems are the bare minimum of what you are obligated to provide. As a consequence if you choose to overpay, and the other party either did not request it or did not agree to specific conditions for the funds, it is not considered as going toward your future obligations. While you can speak with your ex and ask her to agree that you overpaid, and that you now wish for those funds to be credited back to you, she is under no legal obligation to do so. What you may try to do is get her to admit in writing that she received overpayments as 'credits' and then arguably you can claim that you paid ahead. But at least in this case the other person has a stronger argument for continued payments than you would in stopping the payments to her.Hope that helps.
OK - understood.
Thank you.

Most Read Stories
12 tablespoons (1½ sticks) unsalted butter, plus more for the baking pan
2¼ cups flour, preferably unbleached
1¼ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
1½ cups sugar
3 large eggs, separated
¾ cup nonfat buttermilk
2 tablespoons fresh minced thyme leaves
3 cup chopped, toasted walnuts, pecans or hazelnuts, optional, with optional nuts for garnish
For the frosting
4 ounces low-fat cream cheese, at room temperature
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
2½ cups confectioners' sugar
About 2 tablespoons reserved lemon-thyme-infused milk
1 tablespoon good-quality maple syrup
Few dashes freshly grated nutmeg
1. For the cake: Combine the milk and lemon thyme sprigs in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring just to a boil (to scald), then remove from the heat and cool.
2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9- by 13-inch baking pan with a little butter, then line the bottom with parchment paper, using a piece large enough to allow for overhang on two sides (for easier cake removal).
3. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, ginger and salt in a bowl.
4. Place the butter in the bowl of a stand mixer or an electric mixer; beat on medium speed for one minute, then add the sugar and beat on medium speed for a few minutes, until fluffy. Add the egg yolks one at a time, beating well after each addition and stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
5. Discard the lemon thyme sprigs from the milk. Add half of that infused milk to the buttermilk, reserving the rest of the infused milk for the frosting. On low speed, alternately add the flour mixture (in three additions) and the milk mixture (in two additions), beginning and ending with the flour mixture, to form a stiff batter.
6. Beat the egg whites in a separate bowl on high speed to form stiff peaks. Fold them into the batter in three additions; add the minced thyme and nuts, if using, with the last addition and blend well.
7. Pour and scrape the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for about 40 minutes, until a tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean and the cake starts to pull away slightly from the sides of the pan. Cool (in the pan) on a wire rack.
8. Meanwhile, make the frosting: Combine the cream cheese and butter in the bowl of a stand mixer or hand mixer, beating on medium speed for two to three minutes. Add the confectioners' sugar in ½-cup increments, alternating occasionally with 2 to 2½ tablespoons of the reserved infused milk (you won't need all that you reserved). Stop to scrape down the bowl as needed. Add the maple syrup and nutmeg; beat on high speed for a few minutes, until the frosting appears to be whipped and is slightly thickened. It will be soft. Refrigerate until ready to use.
9. Use a round-edged knife to loosen the sides of the cake from the pan, then use the parchment paper to lift and transfer the cake to a platter or cutting board. Spread the frosting on the top of the cake (not the sides). Garnish with thyme sprigs and walnuts, if desired.

KENNESAW, Ga. The Kennesaw State women's basketball team had three players finish in double-figures scoring, but the effort came up short as the Owls fell in Atlantic Sun Conference action to USC Upstate, 61-52, at the KSU Convocation Center Monday night.
Kristina Wells (Douglasville, Ga./Douglas County HS) once again led the black and gold with a 14-point outing while freshman Chelsea Mason (Bellevue, Neb./Bellevue West HS) finished up with 12 and senior Ashley Holliday (Greenville, S.C./J.L. Mann Academy) chipped in 10.
The Owls, who fall to 4-15 overall and 0-7 in the A-Sun, once again held a lead late, overcoming a 32-27 halftime deficit to go up by one at the 15:31 mark of the second period with a Sametria Gideon (Madison, Ala./Bob Jones HS) layup to make it 36-35 KSU.
Holliday and Wells then went off for back-to-back jumpers to extend the Kennesaw State lead to five one minute later, capitalizing on a Chantel Kennedy (Brooklyn, N.Y./Colorado St.) defensive rebound and a Wells steal. Kennedy would add in a free throw as the Owls took their biggest lead of the game, 43-37, with 12:50 to go. But a 7-2 run from the Spartans (6-12, 2-5 A-Sun) over the next five minutes put Upstate back in the game at 45-45.
The Owls went back up briefly at 48-45 with a Mason three-pointer, but Upstate regained the advantage on a Tee'Ara Copney layup to go up for good, taking the 61-52 win.
"We played well in spurts," said Kennesaw State head coach Nitra Perry. "And that's really been the story of our last two or three games. We're getting closer, but we're just not over the hump yet. We were missing some layups and easy buckets and that hurts, especially when we're down. It really takes the energy out of us."
The two teams played a back-and-forth game in the first half with neither grabbing more than a four point lead in the first 15 minutes. The half saw eight ties and eight lead changes before Upstate went into the break holding the five-point edge.
"I was really glad to see Mason hit a couple of shots and Wells has been playing phenomenal basketball these last few games," added Perry. "She really wants it bad and she's been working hard. We're getting there, it's just a process."
The Owls, who came into the game averaging 20 points in the paint, put up 32 from under the basket against the Spartans, nine of those coming from the senior Gideon.
"We're trying to get the ball inside more," added Perry. "Gideon is trying to pound it in there and everyone knows she's our go-to post player, so we're trying to find other ways to go into the paint with driving layups and offensive boards to get it in there."
Kennedy led the Owls on the glass, coming away with a game-high nine rebounds of the 33 total for KSU. Gideon, Wells and Mason each finished up with six.
Holliday also added four assists and a pair of steals to her stat line while Wells came away with four steals, giving the guard 12 takeaways in her last three outings.
The black and gold will now hit the road for three straight, starting on Jan. 26, when the Owls head to Highland Heights, Ky., to take on A-Sun newcomer Northern Kentucky.

Breast MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is a highly sensitive but non-invasive imaging tool which can be used for the detection of breast cancer. It is an adjunct to traditional breast imaging modalities (mammography and ultrasound) and does not replace yearly mammography screening.
Breast MRI is a cross-sectional imaging technique which produces hundreds of images of the breast. In general, the images are taken both before and after the injection of intravenous contrast or dye. The contrast agent, called gadolinium, helps to highlight abnormal areas in the breast and is tolerated very well by most patients.
Breast MRI is very sensitive to all abnormalities in the breasts including malignant and benign processes which have increased blood flow.
Do you have questions about Breast MRI?

XZ Cet revisited
As I discussed in the Director's Report from the SAS/AAVSO meeting, XZ Cet is an interesting star. Available photometry, for example, shows considerable variation at the peak brightness, yet the rest of the light curve falls pretty much into place. That would imply to me some emission mechanism occurring near max. Doug Welch also called for continued monitoring of the candidate anomalous cepheid.
Therefore, I ask observers to either continue their observations of XZ Cet, or to begin observing this star. Details are given in a prior post. Also, I expect to continue my public discussion of each observer so that we can all learn from each other's mistakes or excellent techniques.
If you do a single nightly visit to XZ Cet, then I ask that you (a) use at least two filters; (b) do at least 3 sets of observations (for example, BVBVBV), take the average and standard deviation, and report that rather than the 3 individual sets. A new Windows program called Boxster is available for download on the transformation page; you should try this out or develop your own technique.
If you do time series, the best uncertainty estimator is (K-C). You can do a running average and report the standard deviation as the uncertainty for the target.
If you can transform, please do so. Again on the transformation page:
are programs to download that both calculate your coefficients and apply your coefficients.
I recommend that you use a single comparison star for now, and not ensemble, so that we can learn about transformation and apply it easiest. You can always go back and update your submissions with ensemble results if you want to later.
I will also be monitoring the EE Cep campaign, soon to be announced. Let's get some really excellent photometry this year!
You suggested that folks use a single comp star. Why not pick one, so that we can all use the same one, to eliminate that variable from the equation? Just tell us which one.
Arne wrote:
" I will be monitoring the EE Cep campaign, soon to be announced..."
Arne, I'm sending data to Piotr Wychudzki at the Nicolaus Copernicus Astronomical center in Poland, is this the campaign you're refering to, or will the AAVSO be running it's own campaign?
Just to help others avoid an unnecessary question. There are two 107 comps at about the same radius in the FOV. The one near the 99 comp is not the correct comp star you selected. The correct comp is NNE of the target.
BTW, the magnitudes on the VSP/VSD chart are not the same as I got previously from APASS. They differ by a few 0.01 mags! Too bright for APASS?? All this is a good reason to select the comp for this campaign so we use the same comp and same mags! However, can you look at the wright scope and apass comps to confirm mags?
Just curious about a couple of things re the XZ Cet comps:
1. The magnitude starndard deviations for 000-BLF-059 in B&V are larger than those for 000-BLF-055 (99 label star) or 000-BLF-056 (the other 107 label star). Is the new APASS release likely to reduce the STDEVs for the 000-BLF-059 magnitudes?
2. Is the new APASS release going to include Rc & Ic data for 000-BLF-055 and 000-BLF-056?
Brad Walter
The Nicolaus Copernicus Astronomical Center suggest to use the following chart and sequence for the EE Cep campaign:
Btw.: should'nt we move this topic to a separete thread?
Thanks Robert, Ill start a new thread.
Hi Arne,
I plan to observe XZ Cet when it is conveniently placed later in the year. In a July 3rd post you said:
"If you do time series, the best uncertainty estimator is (K-C). You can do a running average and report the standard deviation as the uncertainty for the target."
How many observations should be used for the running average, would 5 be sufficient (i.e. the current observation plus 2 before and 2 after)?
You also suggested using only one Comp star initially. I use a variation of the Citizen Sky Intermediate Spreadsheet to analyse DSLR time series. My spreadsheet requires an ensemble of at least 6 Comp stars to work out transformation and extinction corrections.
There are not enough bright comps in the photometry table for XZ Cet, even for my 6x4 degree FoV. So I plan to use V and B-V values from Tycho 2 for six bright, non-variable, stars for the ensemble. I see that different souces of Tycho 2 data have slightly different catalogue values for the same star. The difference is usually only a few millimag and shouldn't make a significant diference at the 0.01 mag accuracy you are looking for in the XZ Cet project. But which source would you recommend for Tycho 2 data? Cheers,
Hi Arne,
calculating the standard deviation of the running average of K-C is easy for the situation where one Check and one Comp star are used. But how do I do it with an ensemble of Comp stars? I thought perhaps the following would be ok.
Calculate the K-C standard deviation for each Comp star:
STDEV(K-C1), STDEV(K-C2), ...,STDEV(K-Cn)
K-C standard deviation for the Comp star ensemble would then be:
STDEV(K-Ce) =SQRT(STDEV(K-C1)^2, STDEV(K-C2)^2, ...,STDEV(K-Cn)^2)
Does that make sense? Cheers,
I've already collected about 5 nights of data on this object. Because its so bright I had to limit my exposures to I=60sec, B&V=45sec, and R=30 sec. I've been sequencing them BBBIIIVVVRRR, but I see in the earlier portion of this post that a sequence BVBVBV is preferred.... Should I sequence the run as a BVRIBVRIBVRI? I'm going to use the Transform Coefficients derived from my NGC 7790 data to this object using 107 as a comp and 116 as the check star.
Arne was just giving giving a two color example. If you are doing more than two colors, may I suggest the following sequencing using 4 colors as an example:
This makes the mid exposure time and airmass of the averages of the pairs of images of each color in each sequence as close to the same as possible and keeps pairs of images in the bands most affected by airmass differences closest together in time and airmass. If you average multiple sets sequences together, the midpoints of the averages of the colors are still as close to the same airmass and time as possible. I average multiple sets rather than taking a longer sequence (IIRRVVBBBBVVRRII, for example) because, depending on your hour angle, sky conditions, focus change, integration times and purpose, you may not want to average over such a long time span / airmass range. This method also avoids any autocorrelation that can occur from using moving averages of photometric measurements.
MaximDL requires unique suffixes for each image in a sequence in an autosave dialog. Other software probably does as well. That is easy to do by indexing the suffixes, I1, R1, V1, B1, B2, V2, R2, I2, for example. Oh, and don't forget to turn off "Group by slot" in the autosave options. I have left that turned on more times than I care to admit after taking calibration images.
Brad Walter
Thanks Brad,
I use CCDAutopilot, controlling MaximDL, to do my CCD imaging, so sequencing induvidual filter shots is a little more problematic. I only have 8 slots per object to shot so I can only do 2 sequences of 4 filter induvidual shots at a time. As a work around, I just name the second CCDAP image XZ cet2, XZ cet3, etc...i usually have the system do this while I'm asleep, so using MaximDL alone is not an option ;).
I'll change my sequence order to match yours to avoid the AM problem. Since I start this at its meridan point, I'll go 3 sets of BBBBVVRRIIBBBBVVRRII. Thanks for the advice!
I use shorter sequences and more sets but essentially the same thing. Each of my sequence is only 8 images and I do multiple sequences. IRVBBVRI - IRVBBVRI - IRVBBVRI . . .. There is no reason I can't make them longer and I often average two sequences together. I have a steel tube telescope so I often can't go more than two sequences without re-focusing.Each sequence gets in incremental number assigned by the software. So I end up with file names like XZ CET-001I1H45, XZ CET-001R1H20, XZ CET-001V1H45, XZ CET-001B1H90, XZ CET-001B2H90, XZ CET-001V2H45, XZ CET-001R2H20, XZ CET-001I2H45, and the 3 digit numbers increment automatically with each 8 image set. The H stands high res (1x1 bin = H, 2x2 = M, 3x3 = L) and the final number is the integration time. I really don't need the resolution in the file name since I do all of my photometry binned 1x1. It is a habit I got into when I was doing astrophotography and sometimes binned R G B frames. I used to include the date to the file name prefix along with the object, but it makes the name long and all the files go into a directory with the date in the directory name anyway.
Brad Walter
Hello James
I assume that you use CCDAutopilot to direct your scope to several targets thru the night while you sleep or do you observe a single object?
To: Gary,
RE:"I assume that you use CCDAutopilot to direct your scope to several targets thru the night "
That's correct. I usually shoot 20-25 objects a night in BVI filters. Here is my mechanical/software system:
Mech: Ap1200GTO mount, 13" F/7.5 classical cassegrain (2,442mm FL), Robofoucs on AP2.7 focuser, SBIG ST-10XME with Lumicon off-axis guider and SBIG remote guide head.
Software: CCDAP5, FocusMax, Robofocus, Bisque Sky6, DD Pinpoint 5, ASCOM 6.1, AP GTO drivers, Maxim DL or CCDSoft(when using AO-L device).
You need a telescope on a Go-to type mount with the abilty to plate solve your CCD images so CCDAP can frame your variable star filed to within 30 arc seconds. Since my focal length is relatively high and CCD Fov relatively small, I need to have this accuracy for proper object aquisition. The trick to get automation to work is having CCDAP control all these other software through ASCOM or CCDAP's drivers that can "hook-up' to them. Another useful technique is to center the variable star field and confirm the guiding device has a adequetly bright (ADU count >1000) guidestar. You can pre-plan this by using the Sky's FOV inicator and rotating the virtual guide box so the orientation matched your physical telescopic/guide FOV system. This can be proplematic (difference btw 2000 coordinates and present day equatorial coorinates) so I always take the time to confim I have:
1.) Variable star in field; 2.) adequate number of comparison stars in FOV; and 3.) a bright guide star within 25% of the center for the guider's FOV.
Once these critiria are met, I do a Pin-Point plate solve of the variable star field and copy and paste these equatorial coordinates to CCDAP's target screen. You can schedule bias, darks and flats before or after the image run. You can delay the times between imaging to make sure it clears meridan or any nearby pesky trees. You can even control rotation (if you have a mechanical rotator) or have it park you scope and close-up your observatory if certain (bad) weather parameters are met.
Without this software, I would have only done a small fraction of the almost 40K variable star submissions I've made in the last few years. I have more data than I can reduce and submit most of the time! For more information on CCDAp and its requirements see: http://www.ccdware.com/products/ccdap5/
This automation is most useful at aquiring data for XZ Cet, as it comes to meridian around 3:25am local time and at least 4 hours before I wake-up and go to work!
Hello James
Thanks for the info on your use of CCD autopilot. That's a real nice setup your have. You must have spent lots of time getting it to all work together.
Being retired, I have a little more flexibility with respect to waking up in the morning and going to work. My work consists of doing PT on the observations from last night, on most mornings. I also Part Time at Maria Mitchell Observatory, but I don;t call that work. Most of what I do there is related to observing.

text: David Haskell's work integrates scientific and contemplative studies of the community of life. His book, The Forest Unseen: A Year's Watch in Nature (Viking Penguin, 2012), was winner of the National Academies' Best Book Award for 2013 and a finalist for the 2013 Pulitzer Prize in non-fiction. The book was the winner of the 2013 Reed Environmental Writing Award, the 2012 National Outdoor Book Award for Natural History Literature, and was runner-up for the 2013 PEN E. O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award. A profile in The New York Times said of Haskell that he "thinks like a biologist, writes like a poet, and gives the natural world the kind of open-minded attention one expects from a Zen monk rather than a hypothesis-driven scientist" (http://ow.ly/ojNZo). Professor of Biology at Sewanee, Haskell holds degrees from the University of Oxford and from Cornell University. His scientific research on animal ecology, evolution and conservation has been sponsored by the National Science Foundation, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Fish and Wildlife Service, the World Wildlife Fund, among others. Haskell's classes have received national attention for the innovative ways they combine science, contemplation, and action in the community. In 2009, the Carnegie and CASE Foundations named him Professor of the Year for Tennessee. The Oxford American featured him in 2011 as one of the southern U.S.'s most creative teachers, and his teaching has been profiled in USA Today, The Tennesseean, and other newspapers. With the support of a Guggenheim Fellowship in Creative Arts and Science Writing, Haskell is currently at work on The Songs of Trees (Viking 2016), a study of biology's harmonies and discords. He also explores natural history, science, and literature on his Ramble blog and @DGHaskell.

Does the spindle on this BB have a specific orientation? I'm only asking because its already installed and the chainline is out about 3mm. I wonder if flipping the spindle will help move the drive side closer to the frame. The amount of spindle showing doesn't appear to be equal. Can you tell I'm a shadetree mechanic.

Leading right up to that clip, & then when it is playing, are words resulting directly from us beating them last year (hence, the I-State helmet in the clip is not coincedental)
'Just as we expect their best every single Saturday, let's give them ours. No matter what team we're playing, no matter what the score is. We deserve their best. The deserve ours.'
Despite UT giving us our best last year, we still beat them on their home field. Obviously, that loss still pains them. However, in their minds, it was because they did not give their best that game. Complete BS.
Agreed, makes me want to puke too. Baylor was chartered by the REPUBLIC OF TEXAS in 1845 LONG before A&M or UT were in existence. They can never take that away from us.

Upload directly to web albums with My Picasso iPhone app
by Kyle Ripley
If you haven't decided to try the fantastic desktop and web-app duo, Picasa by Google, it comes highly recommended. I switched over to Picasa for Mac after using iPhoto for a few years, and I absolutely love it. Have you ever wondered if you could upload directly to your web albums from your iPhone wirelessly? Neither had I, but either way, now you can! My Picasso by Tejas Shah (free in the App Store) brings your Picasa web albums to your iPhone.
Sign-in to your Google account, and you're on your way. All of your Picasa web albums will be available to view.
Jump into one of your albums, and you'll have a new toolbar at the bottom of the screen. If you tap the "edit" button, it will change the function of the whole interface. Essentially, you'll enter edit mode.
In the edit mode of the album interface, not much appears to change, but the functionality of the interface is different. Previously, when you tapped a picture, it entered full-screen mode to view it – with rotation functionality. Now, in the edit mode, if you tap a pic, it will virtually "check" the picture to be edited.
This is a great little app as far as I'm concerned. There are also functions to view popular pics or to view your friends' images, but I'll let you explore that all on your own.
If you use Picasa on a regular basis, I highly recommend this app. You can make a "mobile uploads" album and share images with your friends with a simple few taps. It's free and it's easy, and not much in life is. Give it a try.

The Market Reacts To (Then Reads) Janet Yellen's Speech
Out of the gate - based on the fact the word "slack" was present and the word "bubble" was not, stocks ramped higher as J-Yell's J-Hole speech hit. Bond yields surged (led by 5Y) and the USDollar also surged (as gold shrugged). However, once the machines were done, humans reacted to the fact that this was not the "full dovish" speech that was 'priced in' and have started to sell stocks back... but then again - we always have Draghi later to save Friday...
Just asa we warned... JPY 104 was hit and that sparked the momo run in the S&P - but it seems there were fewer stops to run than machines hoped...
Uh Oh!!!
Stocks pump and dump.. and then high beta levitates...
Then gives it back...
as bond yields surge along with the USD...
Bonds having an ugly week - especially the short-end...
Credit is less exuberant...
And some initial comments from Reuters:
Federal Reserve's Janet Yellen speech "reinforces two messages that were signaled in Wednesday's FOMC minutes: first, a less dovish tilt overall in the thinking of Fed officials. And second, significant differences in their thinking when it comes to the details of when and how high to hike interest rates."
"I think everyone knows Yellen is a dove, and that she would rather err on the side of caution. I agree with her. Investors are really in a sweet spot, the economy is improving and central banks are not going to let the global economy fall into another recession. Yellen is going to lead the way on that.
"There aren't any surprises, so the market activity is very normal. We may consolidate a little, since we got a little overbought, but any pullback would be a buying opportunity. People on the sidelines are missing out on a great bull market. We could hit 2,000 on the S&P at any minute, but my sights are much higher than that. It would take a huge event to derail this rally."

They must raise rates and taper, but at the same time, if they do, they will break our economy. The only thing that they can do is try to keep it going as long as possible. At this point, it doesn't matter if they know what they are doing or if they are clueless.
Daned if you do and damned if you don't, pick the worst case and the FED will shoot for it.
The fed is going to raise rates because the economy has finally heated up. We are back to full employment and wage growth is starting to come around while inflation stays low. The fed will begin to set in place a series of rate hikes and savers will finally be rewarded. The only thing that could throw the fed off this path is the already coordinated late september terrorist attack that our leaders have telegraphed. But that attack is justifiable and necessary to blow out the deficits again.
If I didn't know any better, I'd swear that that you and MDB were conjoined twins.
Just in time for elections.
Are you being sarcastic dude??
Ask anyone on the street if the economy is better and they will tell you NO !!

Totally serious.
Now, where's my ham sandwich?

You must be trying out for a role in the Broadway Musical, Animal Farm. So read the sign on the other barn door:

Aaaaannnnddddd....... we're back to green..... now red.... green again.... wait... wait.... red.
Wayne Kaufman: "Investors are really in a sweet spot, the economy is improving and central banks are not going to let the global economy fall into another recession."
Wow, talk about talking your book - that takes the cake.
recessions are terrorists and should be treated as such. talk about a pile of BS. so, in theory, there will never be another recession?
Lets look at a bit more of that quote:
"There aren't any surprises, so the market activity is very normal. We may consolidate a little, since we got a little overbought, but any pullback would be a buying opportunity. People on the sidelines are missing out on a great bull market.
In other words, any slight correction is not really a correction, even though we're calling it overbought, and BTFD, BTATFH, BTFWTF, BTFU, motherfuckers!
It'll be fun to hear the whining the first time those memes truly breakdown.
At this point who really gives a Fuck? How many countless articles have the Tyler's posted here about the whole market being fixed & one huge Ponzi.
"Wars over man Wermer dropped the big one"
Out of the gate - based on the fact the word "slack" was present and the word "bubble" was not, stocks ramped higher as J-Yell's J-Hole speech hit.
It's a shame we never got to witness Mickey Mantle on steroids or Alan Greenspan's obfuscating verbosity in the age of headline-reading algos.
October can't come soon enough for me.
If Yellen's goal was for the markets to not react violently, but stay flat to slightly up, after her speech.....looks gets a cigar.
This market is about to tank. Just like it always tanks after a Yellen speech.
Maybe if she wasn't Yellen, more people would listen.....
I started reading the text if her speech. My mind kept imagining it in her voice. It was horrible. I had pity for anyone who had to listen to that. It was a long read.
Woman who squawks with tongue like fork is not liked by the fellas
The real truth is that the 1% are being eaten by the 0.1% who are being eaten by the 0.01% who are being eaten by the 0.001% who are being eaten by the ...
Let me remind everyone that the accepted natural rate of unemployment is 3-3.5%.
That means that for any 100 workers in the economy, three or four of them will be taking time off from work for all the normal reasons one can imagine other than that they cannot find a job.
It amazes me that we are so easily manipulated into thinking that 6-7% unemployment is normal. Scary.
Retail buyers are telegraphing a terrible year for 2015. Of course not openly, but when booking orders don't show up you know they have no clue about the following year and don't care to make a guess.
I've heard from just about everyone that major booking orders for 2015 are way late. My own company should have booked over $15 million by now, we've only booked $5 million. Booking orders are also the only way banks will loan money, if they don't see the orders booked, they won't lend. At least to small companies. My company has been told numerous times by banks that we are too small to loan money to. But a near bankrupt fortune 500 company with billions in debt is safe.
The economy is dead outside the areas where credit is flowing, cars and student loans.
This bullshit won't end until the Streeters are dead or broke.

I tried to see if a pid file was created at /opt/zimbra/db/mysql.pid but nothing was created indicating nothing started up.
How about in mysql_error.log?
Looks like we are zeroing into something. Here's the relevant portion of the log. How do we proceed now ? thanks in advance
100913 11:34:51 mysqld started
InnoDB: The log sequence number in ibdata files does not match
InnoDB: the log sequence number in the ib_logfiles!

InnoDB: about forcing recovery.
100913 11:34:52 - mysqld got signal 11 ;
This could be because you hit a bug. It is also possible that this binary
or one of the libraries it was linked against is corrupt, improperly built,
or misconfigured. This error can also be caused by malfunctioning hardware.
We will try our best to scrape up some info that will hopefully help diagnose
the problem, but since we have already crashed, something is definitely wrong
and this may fail.
It is possible that mysqld could use up to
key_buffer_size + (read_buffer_size + sort_buffer_size)*max_connections = 225280K bytes of memory
Hope that's ok; if not, decrease some variables in the equation.
Attempting backtrace. You can use the following information to find out
where mysqld died. If you see no messages after this, something went
terribly wrong...
Cannot determine thread, fp=0xbff39208, backtrace may not be correct.
Stack range sanity check OK, backtrace follows:
New value of fp=(nil) failed sanity check, terminating stack trace!
Please read MySQL :: MySQL 5.1 Reference Manual :: 220.127.116.11 Using a Stack Trace and follow
instructions on how to resolve the stack trace. Resolved
stack trace is much more helpful in diagnosing the problem, so please do
resolve it
The manual page at MySQL :: MySQL 5.1 Reference Manual :: B.5.4.2 What to Do If MySQL Keeps Crashing contains
information that should help you find out what is causing the crash.
100913 11:34:52 mysqld ended
I'd start with forcing innodb recovery. Here's the Zimbra wiki article on recovering MySQL: Mysql Crash Recovery - Zimbra :: Wiki
Adding the innodb_force_recovery value and attempting to restart mysql didn't work. Basically, mysql just won't start.
So, even though we have some stuff to try, we can't get mysql to even start. I suppose now the focus is on why or what prevents mysql from starting ?

Beyond Whole Wheat – Five Healthy Grains
To help you add some more healthy variety to your diet, I did some research and put together this list of five alternative healthy grains.
1. Bulgur - This form of cracked wheat is very popular throughout Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines. One serving of bulgur wheat provides more than 50 percent of your daily supply of manganese and is also packed with fiber.
How to Eat It: One of the most popular bulgur dishes is tabbouleh, a salad that combines the grain with fresh chopped parsley, fresh tomatoes and cucumbers and is dressed with olive oil and lemon juice.
2. Buckwheat - This hardy grain is grown throughout Russia and Asia and has an earthy taste that some describe as being similar to a mushroom. One serving of buckwheat gives you more than 20 percent of your daily requirements for magnesium, copper and manganese.
How to Eat It: Buckwheat pancake mix is readily available in many stores and makes for a delicious breakfast. Another easy to way to enjoy buckwheat is to purchase Japanese buckwheat soba noodles and prepare them with a stir-fry or a soup.
3. Quinoa - Quinoa is technically a seed, but the Whole Grains Council and nutritionists include it with whole grains because of its nutritional properties. The seeds have a slightly nutty taste and contain a complete supply of amino acids. In addition, quinoa offers more than 10 percent of your daily supply for protein and is a good source of phosphorous, magnesium and manganese.
How to Eat It: Quinoa is delicious when added to muffins and cookies and can be eaten as a breakfast cereal instead of oatmeal. You can also use quinoa in any dish that calls for rice.
4. Amaranth - This grain was first cultivated by Native Americans throughout Central and South America. Like bulgur, amaranth supplies you with more than 50 percent of your required manganese for the day and also contains more than 20 percent of the recommended magnesium and phosphorous for a standard 2,000-calorie diet.
How to Eat It: Amaranth can be popped in the microwave like popcorn and eaten as a snack. The popped kernels are also delicious topped with soymilk, low fat almond milk or low fat cow's milk and fruit.
5. Teff - The world's smallest grain, teff is a staple of Ethiopian cooking. Although you may need to order it online, teff is definitely a must try grain. One serving gives you an entire day's supply of manganese and more than 20 percent of your daily copper requirements. The grain is also rich in protein, iron, magnesium, phosphorous, zinc, thiamin and pyridoxine. The grain is also gluten-free.
How to Eat It: Teff flour can be used in place of wheat in almost any recipe. White teff grain is an excellent substitute for rice, and brown teff grain can be used in desserts, as it has an almost chocolate-like taste.
Getting 6 to 11 servings of whole grains will be much easier if you try to mix up the types that you're eating. Also, be sure to spread out the servings throughout the day and check labels to ensure that you truly understand what a portion size is--it's probably smaller than you think!

Just In
Song Premiere: The Jazz June, 'Over Underground'
Christie Front Drive, Texas Is the Reason, Knapsack, The Promise Ring, Cap'n Jazz, Gauge, Sunny Day Real Estate, American Football, The Casket Lottery, The Get Up Kids, Braid — no, this isn't a dream Emo Diaries compilation. These are the '90s emo bands that have, in recent years, reunited for tours or even recorded new material after long silences. (Mineral and Rainer Maria... we're waiting.) It's been a bane to those annoyed by a tossed-off hashtag, but mostly it's a boon to those who never stopped listening, to the kids just now discovering teenage feelings, and the excellent young bands working within that sound now.
In the late '90s and early '00s, The Jazz June was the odd band out. The members came from hardcore, but loved John Coltrane and Dave Brubeck, which resulted in an aggressive and structurally complicated discography released mostly on the Louisville hardcore label Initial Records. (If the band is new to you, 2000's raucous The Medicine is a good place to start.) Twelve years after its last album, "Over Underground" marks the studio return of The Jazz June from a split 7" with Dikembe.
Listen: The Jazz June, 'Over Underground'
- from The Jazz June / Dikembe
- by The Jazz June
Whatever happened in the intervening years, "Over Underground" isn't the scrappy, nails-dug-in emo of The Jazz June's past, but rather the kind of song Built to Spill might have written if it had gone power-pop. It's bright and sunny, but not without a touch of regret. (Gotta keep it emo somehow, y'all.) Guitarist and vocalist Andrew Low says it marks the "next phase of the band."
To be honest, I borrow a lot of lines for songs from my good friend, Will Edmiston, who is a rad poet in Brooklyn and former Jazz June tour manager. I sent an acoustic version of "Over Underground" to him for his birthday a few years ago because we were both feeling a distance between some of the people and ideas that had once been so integral to our everyday lives. Fast-forward a couple years and we're releasing it with The Jazz June, our first release in over 10 years. It feels like some of those pieces have been put back in place.
The Jazz June and Dikembe split 7" comes out in May on Tiny Engines and Topshelf Records.

INDIANAPOLIS - The Butler women's basketball team shook off a slow start to rout Cleveland State 67-43 Saturday afternoon at Hinkle Fieldhouse. Sophomore Sarah Hamm scored 14 points and senior Devin Brierly added 13 for the Bulldogs.
After falling behind 20-9 in the first 10 minutes of the game, Butler dismantled the visiting Vikings for its second win of the weekend. BU out-scored Cleveland State 58-23 during the game's final 30 minutes.
"The first five minutes, we missed some assignments and missed some easy buckets that could've given us some confidence," head coach Beth Couture said. "Our energy and focus were outstanding. I also felt like we did an excellent job of executing."
Brierly, who scored 19 in Thursday's win over Youngstown State, finished 5-for-9 shooting and made 3-for-5 from 3-point range. She also had four assists and two steals. Hamm shot 4-for-8 and pulled in five rebounds in 25 minutes off the bench.
Sophomore Jenna Cobb added 11 points, matching her career high which was set last year against Cleveland State.
"Jenna's game is driving to the hole and she's been able to do that and make lay-ups in traffic," Couture said. "She's helped our offense tremendously."
Cleveland State's last lead of the game was 23-22 at the 5:50 mark in the first half. Butler finished the half with a 12-3 run to lead 34-26 and then turned the game into a rout. The Bulldogs had their first 20-point lead with 8:21 left in the game and continued to pour it on as Couture inserted her subs.
Couture said Cleveland State surprised Butler by subbing platoon-style, sending in five different players at a time.
"We took away the strengths of the players in each (group of) five," Couture said. "They have kids that want to shoot the basketball and they have kids who are athletic that you can't stop on the drive. Our two defenses were good and we took them out of their offense."
BU set season highs for 3-pointers made (8), 3-point shooting percentage (.471) and assists (19). The Bulldogs were +9 on the boards and held Cleveland State to 17 points in the second half.
CSU (6-8, 1-2) was led by Shalonda Winton with 20 points, seven rebounds and six steals. No other Viking made it to double figures.
Butler (6-9, 2-2) has one game next week, a Saturday contest at Valparaiso. The game at Valpo will start at 2:30 p.m. ET.
