SFO -- The two people killed in Saturday's plane crash at San Francisco International Airport were 16-year-old Chinese schoolgirls who were among a group of about 35 students and teachers heading for a Los Angeles-area school for a summer program.
The Associated Press said the students were Ye Mengyuan and Wang Linjia, who attended Jiangshan Middle School in eastern China. The news agency attributed the information to state broadcaster China Central Television, which cited a fax from Asiana Airlines to the Jiangshan city government.
A group of 29 students and five teachers were heading to summer programs, according to education authorities in China. In Southern California, San Fernando Valley-based West Valley Christian Church and School said in a statement the students were to arrive on Tuesday for three weeks.
San Mateo County Coroner Robert Foucrault said late Saturday the two passengers who were killed were both 16-year-old girls. One appeared to have been thrown from the rear of the plane and landed on the runway when the tail broke off, he said. The other was found near the wreckage.
"En route to WVCS were 35 Chinese students who were on the airplane that crash landed in San Francisco. They were scheduled to be here on Tuesday for three weeks,'' the school said in a statement posted on its website. "Now, we are unsure what their next steps will be ... but we are certain that God knows and will help us care for them in this time of crisis. Please join us as we learn how to care for them.
"Dear Lord, give grace to their moms and dads, brothers and sisters. Give us wisdom and compassion as we care for our guests from China,'' the school statement added.
The details about the victims emerged as the National Transportation Safety Board began its investigation Sunday. ABC-7 is reporting that the NTSB has recovered the plane's two black boxes, which could provide critical information about why the Boeing 777 jet crashed.
The packed airliner apparently clipped a sea wall in front of the runway at about 11:30 a.m., snapping off its tail, causing the plane to bounce twice before sliding to a stop.
Asiana Airlines Flight 214 departed from Seoul, South Korea carrying 291 passengers -- 141 were Chinese -- and 16 crew members. Evacuation slides were used to get a majority of the passengers and crew members off the burning aircraft as quickly as possible.
At least nine Bay Area hospitals have treated scores of injured. In all, 182 passengers were taken to hospitals, and 49 were seriously injured. At last update, San Francisco General Hospital said they had treated 53 passengers, including six in critical condition.
One of the passengers in critical condition is a child.
Passengers described a harrowing scene of smoke, screaming, and pushing as they scrambled to exit the plane.
"It was a bit surreal," passenger Benjamin Levy said in an interview with NBC Bay Area. "A lot of people were screaming and not really believing what was happening."
Levy, 39, a partner in a Silicon Valley firm, said he pulled the lever on the emergency door and had to push aside debris to open it. No slide deployed, he said. Instead, he helped passengers step down onto several feet of debris. Although video footage shows billowing plumes of smoke, Levy said most of the passengers got out before the smoke began.
"People were pushing each other out," he said. "There was a lot of commotion. I'm so thankful so many people go out of the plane quickly."
Levy also refuted earlier claims that the plane had flipped when it crashed.
"If we'd flipped none of us would be here to talk about it," he said.
Robert Herbst, a retired American Airlines 767 pilot and aviation industry consultant in South Carolina, told Bay Area News Group that the damage he saw on television footage suggests a the pilot landed short of the runway.
"This is very obvious what happened," said Herbst who flew commercial airlines for 41 years before retiring three years ago. "They landed short of the runway. They were too low for the flight path and the tail of the aircraft hit the sea wall."
On Sunday, Reuters reported that the airline said mechanical failure did not appear to be a factor, and the airline did not blame either the pilot or the control tower at the airport.
The crash caused chaos in the skies as planes headed to SFO were diverted to airports in Oakland, San Jose and Sacramento. Bay Area News Group reporter Natalie Alund was on a plane from Los Angeles International Airport and about to land at SFO about 12:45 p.m. when her plane suddenly jerked left. The flight attendant told Alund they were returning to LAX because of the crash. Alund's 9:46 a.m. flight on Sunday was canceled. She boarded an 8:25 a.m. flight instead. The flight attendant told Alund SFO air traffic control won't clear them for take off until 10:19 a.m. If the plane does not take off at that time, it likely will not take off for more than nine hours, Alund said.

NEW YORK – AP— Eight-time All-Star outfielder Carlos Beltran was introduced at a news conference Friday, a day after finalizing a $45 million, three-year contract with the New York Yankees.
Joined by his wife and two daughters, Beltran talked about how much he admired the Yankees while growing up.
"Having the opportunity to come back again as a Yankee really means a lot to me. I grew being a Yankee fan, grew up being a Bernie Williams fan. At one point, I almost got the opportunity to sign with the Yankees. It didn't work out," Beltran said.
". . .I'm looking forward to joining this ballclub, looking forward to the challenges ahead."

Yellowfin's even breaking new territory with social and collaborative BI features – things other vendors are just now starting to discuss
(PRWEB) June 19, 2013
The agreement will see the Texas-headquartered consultancy make Yellowfin's easy-to-use BI solution, and associated training and implementation services, available to its large customer base throughout the United States.
iOLAP CEO and Co-Founder, Doug Slemmer, said that making the decision to partner with Yellowfin was simple, because its BI solution addressed growing demand for flexible consumer-oriented reporting and analytics, with a unique pricing model.
"We see a new wave of technology companies entering the BI space offering better, faster and less expensive solutions," said Slemmer. "Simplicity and pricing are being carefully balanced with power and features to help companies achieve more in shorter timeframes. Yellowfin BI fits that profile, providing cutting edge technology and features, with a revolutionary subscription-based pricing model, that makes BI shelfware – a large problem in the BI industry – a thing of the past. For us, the decision to partner with Yellowfin was easy."
Senior BI Developer for iOLAP, Nikola Kostrencic, said that his team was pleasantly surprised by the breadth of world-class features offered by Yellowfin, particularly given preferential pricing when compared to other well-known BI solutions.
"Yellowfin really surprised us in terms of features and functionality," said Kostrencic. "At the price point, we expected to just get the basics – simple reporting and dashboards. Pleasingly, we found an extremely complete platform, with all the bells and whistles offered by the older generation of BI tools. Mobile BI, location intelligence and multi-source data sets – it's all there. Yellowfin's even breaking new territory with social and collaborative BI features – things other vendors are just now starting to discuss."
Speaking about the partnership, Head of Operations for Yellowfin North America, Justin Wright, said that iOLAP's well-regarded reputation as a dedicated provider of Big Data and analytics solutions, would enhance Yellowfin's standing in North America.
"Unlike other general-purpose IT firms, iOLAP has specialized in delivering Business Intelligence and Data Warehousing solutions for the past 14 years – so they do it exceptionally well," said Wright. "We're confident that iOLAP's deep understanding of the BI marketplace will assist Yellowfin to meet growing demand for cost-effective, consumer-oriented BI."

Welcome to reality blurred's Past Forward, a new feature that gives a quick look back at the last week in reality TV and an overview of the highlights of the upcoming week. (It's the perfect descriptive title, but it was cleverly named by someone on Twitter who deleted their tweet, so I can't give credit, alas. But thanks, mystery person, and to everyone else for the great suggestions.)
As with most of my coverage, this isn't comprehensive, it's selective, highlights based on what I think is worthy of checking out, or is just newsworthy–like fast forwarding and stopping at the good parts. So when I ignore the 1,512 debut of a VH1 dating show, it's intentional, but those will always be on the debut schedule.
The Past
- Last week, Paula Abdul stayed in the news as ABC courted her for some reason, and we learned what really pissed her off. While new reality shows failed to connect with viewers, an old favorite did well, and continued its growth thanks to wizard power. There were fights about fights and bigoted name-calling, Chris Harrison made a surprising prediction, but that was less shocking than Self magazine's pathetic rationale for thinning Kelly Clarkson, never mind Omarosa's shocking news.
The Forward
- Friday and Saturday
One day shy of Woodstock's 30-year anniversary, Barbara Kopple's two-hour documentary about the festival, Woodstock: Then and Now, debuts on VH1 before re-airing on History Monday [VH1, 9 p.m.; History, Monday at 8]. Saturday, Fox Reality gives us its version of Bravo's Housewives franchise with Househusbands of Hollywood [9 p.m.] (my full review).
- Sunday
Friends move to Vegas to play poker online in 2 months, $2 million [G4, 9 p.m.]. Also at 9, three new Sunday reality shows air their second episodes: ABC and Mark Burnett's Shark Tank (definitely worth a watch), CBS' There Goes the Neighborhood, and the fourth season of MTV's Randy Jackson Presents: America's Best Dance Crew. Also Sunday, two cable networks debut new series–Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami [E!, 10 p.m.], P. Diddy's Starmaker [MTV, 10 p.m.], and a 2009 version of The Joe Schmo Show, Reality Hell [E!, 10:45], which has the same general concept–actors trick someone into thinking they're in a nutty reality show–except it offers one-off episodes and a new reality show format each week. The galling part is that all of those are airing at the same time as Mad Men's third season debut [AMC, 10 p.m.], and that will be, without question, the best thing that will be on TV all week.
- Monday
The Dancing with the Stars 9 cast will be announced on Good Morning America, one of two times a year you actually might want to watch that show.
- Tuesday
Miami Social ends its fast first season [Bravo, 9 p.m., an hour early], and it's just too bad the show's cast members aren't as beautiful to look at as the series itself. It moves early to make room for Jeff Lewis and company on Flipping Out [Bravo, 10 p.m.], who are definitely the best ensemble docudrama crew on Bravo. Also Tuesday, Shaq takes on pro athletes on Shaq Vs. [ABC, 9 p.m.], which hopefully won't such as hard as The Superstars. After being previewed in June, Masters of Reception [TLC, 10 p.m.] also debuts.
- Wednesday
Fox gives us what only Fox could give us: Octomom: The Incredible Unseen Footage [8 p.m.], and the only incredible part is that anyone still cares. But the night will be rescued by Padma, Tom, and Gail: Top Chef Las Vegas debuts [Bravo, 9 p.m.], and that is followed by the finale of Top Chef Masters [Bravo, 10:15 p.m.], which has proven itself to be worthy of the name, if not better than the original.
- Thursday
Big Brother [CBS, 8 p.m.] will need its double-eviction night to compete because two words fill three hours tonight: Project Runway, which makes its Lifetime debut at with the all-star challenge [8 p.m.], the debut of the sixth season [10 p.m.], and then the new spin-off Models of the Runway [11 p.m.]. Just to compete with their old shows and/or be dicks, Bravo extends The Real Housewives of Atlanta [10 p.m.]. to 75 minutes.
- Friday
After Whale Wars ends its amazing second season [9 p.m.], Animal Planet brings back and expands to one hour its docudrama about Jockeys [10 p.m.], which in its first season was more docu than drama, but still good TV.

Michigan assistant LaVall Jordan called it a "proud papa" moment watching freshman Caris LeVert step up with huge minutes on the biggest stage, when U-M needed him most. John Beilein said the same about his entire group, which is now only one win away from a national title following a 61-56 win over Syracuse.
The Wolverines clawed and scraped their way to a win despite struggling to find their groove much of the night. The team win epitomized the way they'd pulled out wins all year, Beilein said, never quitting, never complaining even when the bounces didn't do their way.
"We're so proud. I am so proud," he said. "But the university, I know, is so proud of these young men tonight, all our fans everywhere. Given the great first half they played, then hanging on in the second half with no timeouts, was an incredible show of character and unity and all the things that we preach all the time, the poise.
"It's certainly a great moment for them and our university. I know everybody in Ann Arbor, the Michigan brand all over the world is very happy tonight."
They spilled out into the streets in Ann Arbor, a peaceful celebration in which furniture and storefronts were spared. The thousands of Wolverines fans who made the trip to Atlanta, meanwhile - and took over The Georgia Dome down the stretch - also took over restaurants all over Atlanta celebrating U-M's first national title game appearance since 1993.
Strangers in maize and blue hugged while 'The Victors' rang through the streets.
"It means so much for our university, for all our fans, for all the players that we have, students," Beilein continued. "It's just tremendous. For me, this is what I'm paid to do, is go out and coach young men and try to make them just good basketball players, but good student‑athletes, men of high character - all the things that parents of these kids have tried to do over the years and have done such a great job.
"I'm thrilled for everybody else. Right now, I just think about the next game, and Louisville is going to be a difficult game. We played against Rick [Pitino]'s teams at Kentucky one time when I was at Canisius, and West Virginia a few times. He's a brilliant coach with great schemes. It's going to be very difficult, but I need to study him a little bit more before I know exactly what to expect."
In other words, now isn't the time to enjoy his team's accomplishments.
"We have 40 minutes left," freshman point guard Spike Albrecht said. "Forty minutes."
And plenty of time for Beilein to celebrate afterward should his team bring home the school's second national basketball championship.
Junior shooting guard Tim Hardaway Jr. continued to struggle with his shot, going only four of 16. He refused to say he was slumping.
"Nothing is happening," he said. "As long as we're winning, I'm fine. I can't focus on that right now. I can't focus on the offensive end. All I can do is focus on the defensive end to help my team win.
"My teammates do a great job of sticking behind me whatever decision I make while I'm out there on the court. The shots are not falling, but I can do more than that. I can rebound. I can pass. I can defend. That's what it's going to take to win the championship, and that's what I'll do."
Sophomore point guard Trey Burke, too, struggled, only going 1-for-8.
"It was an off night for me," he said. "I try not to force things, though. I took two or three shots that were kind of forced, but I tried to just get guys involved. I knew that their whole game plan was to try to make me shoot tough, contested threes. I tried to get the ball into the middle as much as possible, tried to hit the open man, tried to contribute in different ways other than scoring."
Beilein admitted he even got caught up a bit in the surroundings playing in front of 75,000 people on college basketball's biggest stage.
"What really helps us, the arenas we play in all year long aren't that big, but they're big, 18,000, 17,000, 15,000, noisy. You've been to some of those places, so we're used to that a lot," he said. "The Michigan crowd was terrific. It really helped that we just came from Dallas, playing in that big arena. I think our kids felt very comfortable.
"What I try to do is focus in as a coach and not even look around. That basket is 10 feet, that basket is 10 feet, the floor is 94 - let's go play. I think we actually had that mentality. You start looking around that place, and I did for a minute - I'm not even going to look. This is incredible what I'm seeing in front of me."
Syracuse players admitted Friday they had yet to watch film of Michigan. Beilein and his staff spent hours poring through film preparing their kids on attacking the middle of the 2-3 zone with big man Mitch McGary.
"We studied so many of their games," he said. "They've got a great coaching staff. "We knew that was an area that we might be able to exploit if we could pass out of there. We did so many passing drills this year with Mitch pivoting. We say, catch, pivot, peek, make a pass. He did a great job.
"That six assists is a big number for him. He's a big target in there, as well. We can throw it to Glenn [Robinson III] as well. Their guards are so long, it's hard to see Glenn in there, but you could certainly see the big fella."
McGary still has a lot to learn, Beilein said, and he can't wait to continue working with him.
"He embraces all that," Beilein said. "That's what has made it most impressive. But the best is yet to come. He continues to practice hard. He continues to study the game. He's got, as I've said several times, a high ceiling to his overall game. By the way, his personality and leadership is terrific."
Redshirt junior Jordan Morgan led 'The Victors' in the locker room for his big plays. He capped the game with a two-handed dunk.
"He makes plays that a lot of us don't see out there," Hardaway said. "He saw Michael Carter‑Williams go to the basket, laid his body on the line, sacrificed himself for the team and got us another possession."
Added Beilein: "Jordan Morgan was up on the chair leading us in the end. He's on the all-defensive team. He was going to be in there at the end when we needed stops, especially when we were going into some switching patterns, things like that, much like he did in a similar slide later in the Kansas game.
So I'm really happy for him. It was fitting that he finishes it with a dunk at the end."

In a recent poll of elementary school principals commissioned by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), a majority of principals reported that recess has a positive impact on student achievement. While there's little doubt that physical activity is good for kids, helps them ???listen better??? and stay more focused in class, etc. (not to mention a hundred other worthwhile reasons for promoting physical activity), the methodology from the RWJF poll was less than satisfying.
As Education Week's Curriculum Matters points out, a principal's self-reported perceptions of student learning might not be convincing, especially compared to more ???concrete??? evidence like test scores (the blog goes on to highlight further studies showing the behavioral/social impacts from recess). RWJF's efforts to curb childhood obesity are certainly commendable. But what principal is going to tell a pollster that recess isn't positive for kids?
I don't doubt the power of play (just poll results), which is why this article from the Wall Street Journal was so satiating. WSJ featured a study from the Wharton School of Business that examined the returns from high school sports participation (especially for girls). The researchers looked at female sports participation before and after Title IX (a policy that improved gender equity in athletics) and thus were fortunate to have a quasi-experimental design on their hands. The study found that:
??????a 10-percent point rise in state-level female sports participation generates a 1 percentage point increase in female college attendance and a 1 to 2 percentage point rise in female labor force participation. Furthermore, greater opportunities to play sports leads to greater female participation in previously male-dominated occupations, particularly in high-skill occupations.???
The benefits that students can accrue from athletics are many (and often intuitive), but, as with most research questions, disentangling a variable from other endogenous factors in order to show true causation is tremendously difficult.(For example, Teach For America has long known that teacher candidates' extra-curricular activities, including athletic accomplishments, tend to correlate with classroom success ??? but this is because self-motivated people can do well in athletics and in their careers, not because one causes the other.)
All of this is to say: kudos to Wharton economist Betsey Stevenson for pulling off a really cool study, and here's to hoping for more research to add clarity and precision to questions about the impact of physical activity for kids (does it lead to positive outcomes beyond social/behavioral? Academic? How much? etc.). ??

Best Buy Canada: iPad Up To $50 Off
Best Buy is advertising up to $50 off iPad today only. Honestly, when I looked through the sale, I couldn't find anything that was $50 off including in the iPad section and the accessory section. But, I spoke to our tech expert Shawn, who said that Apple rarely goes on sale, so you should still check this out.
Now, the discount is not a lot, but it is more of a discount than I am seeing at other stores. Here is a short list of some of the prices of iPads after discount:
- iPad mini 16GB with wi-fi in space grey - $299 - save $30
- iPad Air 16GB with wi-fi in silver - $499.99 - save $20
- iPad 2 16GB with wi-fi in black - $369.99 - save $30
As you can see, most of the savings in iPads are $20 or $30, which isn't substantial, but you won't just give someone $30, so you might as well save it!
Search for cases, and you'll find these are also on sale like this Rocketfish iPad Air folio case, was $49.99, now $39.99.
Shipping is free when you spend over $20.

Configure User Profile sync connections
So, I've worked through all the PS scripting to set up the user profile sync service (include the sql ownership issues).
Now I'd like to move to the configuring of connections. As I understand it, I need to get to the UserProfileConfigManager. I have two code sets I try -
function GetUserProfileConfigManager1([string]$PortalURL) { $site= new-object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite($PortalURL) $servicecontext=[Microsoft.SharePoint.SPServiceContext]::GetContext($site) $upcm = new-object Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.UserProfileConfigManager($servicecontext) $site.Dispose() # clean up $upcm } function GetUserProfileConfigManager2([string]$PortalURL) { $site= new-object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite($PortalURL) $servercontext=[Microsoft.Office.Server.ServerContext]::GetContext($site) $upcm = new-object Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.UserProfileConfigManager($servercontext) $site.Dispose() # clean up $upcm }
The 1st uses the new way, the second uses the old (deprecated) way. Both give this error on the 'new-object Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.UserProfileConfigManager' call:
New-Object : Exception calling ".ctor" with "1" argument(s): "Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
In both cases, the returned object is not null.
I did notice, however, in the 1st case, that $servicecontext returns
PS Y:\MyModules\SpSetup> $servicecontext SiteSubscriptionId ------------------ 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000
I can see how this could be considered 'not set to an instance'.
I've got 2010 with Dec 2010 cum. My url is pointing to my claims site (over FBA). I've never run a profile import.
What is the right way to do this? Or what else do I have to do to make this work?
I had the same exception when running the exact same code as GetUserProfileConfigManager1.
The issue is that the powershell script is running under an account that has no rights on the user propfile service application. I added it to "Permissions" with "Full Control" and it was ok.

I'm trying something similar.
$site = Get-SPSite $url

{Write-Host "Failed to obtain site reference"}
$serviceContext = Get-SPServiceContext($site)
if ($serviceContext)

$upManager = new-object Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.UserProfileConfigManager($serviceContext)
if ($upManager)
{Write-Host "Successfully obtained user profile manager!"}
{Write-Host "Failed to obtain user profile manager"}
$synchConnection = $upManager.ConnectionManager[$connectionName]

Write-Host "Adding the attribute mapping..."
$synchConnection.PropertyMapping.AddNewMapping([Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.ProfileType]::User, $spsProperty, $fimProperty)
Write-Host "Done!"
BUT I'm getting the same error as you and my SiteSubscriptionId is also returning the below.
Did you ever manage to sort this out?
Also want to confirm, are you pointing your $PortalURL to you Central Admin site?
No, and according to a reply I got from Spencer Harbar (http://www.harbar.net/), there is no current way to use cmdlets to do what we want.
I had the same exception when running the exact same code as GetUserProfileConfigManager1.
The issue is that the powershell script is running under an account that has no rights on the user propfile service application. I added it to "Permissions" with "Full Control" and it was ok.

Ok, to get the connection info, the setup account must have permissions to the User Profile Application in two places.
1) As a administrator with full control
2) connection permissions as full control
Then you have access to the connection manager and can programatically access the connections.
- Proposed as answer by Frank-Ove Thursday, December 20, 2012 11:32 AM
FYI - Got the powershell script running that creates a connection. Of course, the import fails. Why?
Because when you go through CA, the code does a lot of work mapping the attributes found in the LDAP server to the attributes in SP.
So, it can be done. It's just going to take a lot more time.
At the beginning, I'm confused, but look everywhere, and at last got the things done.
To make it more clear, go to Central Administration > Application Management > Manage service applications.
Click the row (not the link) of your User Profile service application, click Permissions on the ribbon. Add your account here, only 1 permission level, Full Control so its must be easier for you to add.
Thanks, anyway! Really helped me!

Fantasy spin: Patriots franchise QB Cassel
Michael Fabiano | Tags: Matt Cassel, New England Patriots, Tom Brady
The New England Patriots have placed their non-exclusive franchise tag on Matt Cassel, who will now make close to $15 million next season.
That deal is in the same neighborhood as Tom Brady's, whose questionable return from reconstructive knee surgery is part of the reason the team is willing to take such a drastic cap hit.
Reports about Brady's rehabilitation have varied, and the Patriots' tight-lipped attitude toward injuries could make it hard to find out his expected return date. If Brady is in fact slated to be under center in time for Week 1, the Pats could decide to trade Cassel and avoid having around $30 million invested in one position.
As it stands, Cassel appears to be the first ever non-running back handcuff in fantasy football. Should Brady be forced to miss the start of the season, Cassel would retain the top spot on New England's depth chart and would be a low-end No. 1 fantasy quarterback.
In the final scenario, in which the Patriots would trade Cassel to another team, I'd be very skeptical about his chances to duplicate his impressive 2008 numbers. In fact, I could see him falling off the fantasy radar if he lands with a team that lacks offensive playmakers and a stable coaching staff.
Time will tell, but I wouldn't be at all shocked if Cassel turned into the 2009 version of Derek Anderson.

Racing against a 5 p.m. petition deadline
For a lot of people in Florida, 5 p.m. Friday can't come soon enough, and others wish the moment would never arrive. That's the deadline for county election supervisors to report to the state on the number of verified voter signatures on petitions seeking to amend the state Constitution in November.
As the hours tick away, attention focuses on two petitions, both of them controversial. Hometown Democracy's petition would require voter approval for local land use changes that intensify development, and Florida4Marriage would put a ban on same sex marriages into the Constitution. Both groups' petition-gathering efforts are shrouded in mystery because the state stopped giving daily updates Jan. 11.
Clerks across the state are drowning in petitions. The Division of Election has a bank of FIVE fax machines to avoid busy signals, and put election supervisors on notice that paperwork (verification totals) faxed to the Division of Elections after 5 p.m. today won't be counted. John Stemberger of Florida4Marriage sent a letter to election supervisors earlier this week notifying them of last-minute stacks of petitions headed to their offices. The state will certify all totals at noon Saturday.

The livability and affordability of Boston's neighborhoods is crucial for families to create strong foundations needed to achieve economic success and thrive in our competitive innovation economy. Affordable housing is a building block of vibrant communities and the Boston Foundation focuses on increasing neighborhood stability through its production and preservation.
In addition to affordable housing, safe, vibrant communities are top priorities for the Boston Foundation. Every year, the Foundation, in partnership with the The Kitty and Michael Dukakis Center for Urban and Regional Policy, publishes the Greater Boston Housing Report Card, which focuses on the link between housing and the economy. The Foundation also convenes the Commonwealth Housing Task Force, a group of housing experts that monitors in Massachusetts the growth of Smart Growth Housing districts--which are supported by state funding that the Task Force helped secure.
The Boston Foundation is dedicated to improving the quality of the built and natural environment through public policy research and advocacy and the informed participation of Boston's residents. The Foundation has made a major investment in the Fairmount/Indigo Line CDC Collaborative, a group of neighborhood-based organizations that are creating dynamic, diverse centers in Dorchester, Mattapan and Hyde Park near train stations on the Fairmount/Indigo Line. One urban village that has been completed is Dudley Village, which offers affordable rental housing and commercial space in the Dudley Street neighborhood. The Foundation also partnered with Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) to develop comprehensive community plans for three neighborhoods under the Resilient Communities/Resilient Families initiative, to which the Foundation has also contributed. Support has also been provided to organizations including the Massachusetts Association of Community Development Corporations and the Massachusetts Union of Public Housing Tenants.

Second strike option
Just wondering why no one that I know of has a rimfire rifle with a second strike option or double action ? I think it would help out alot , I have a 10/22 thats my experiment mule and I think im going to toy with making it let you give it another hit before ejecting a round . I dont really think it would be that hard to do . Would you guys not buy a rimfire like that ? If I am wrong someone jump in
I just buy better ammo. ;)
My experience, especially with rimfire ammo, is that I can't get a misfired round to go off by simply striking again in the same spot. I remove it from the chamber, rotate it and try again which "usually" works. Maybe it's just me.
Yep, what he said...
It's going to be tough to re engineer the Ruger 10/22 to double action. I would think the double action trigger pull would be pretty hard to pull. Since rimfires ain't defensive weapons but are meant for plinking or hunting mostly you usually have time to rack the bolt in the event of a misfire. Also like previously mentioned, you would likely have to turn the cartridge so that the firing pin would strike a new spot on the rim.
have you ever taken one of the misfires apart? after looking into about a
dozen of these I noticed a pattern
the ones I opened up lost their primer either before or after the pin strike right
where it hit the rim, a second strike on a clean brass rim won't fire anyway
if you could find a way to rotate the cartridge say 90 degrees and set the
hammer for another strike it would possibly work
a lever to reset the hammer might be simple, but getting the round to
rotate would take a lot more work
if you had a weapon with a weak hammer/striker spring or firing pin trouble
a second strike might fire those if the first hit didn't dent the rim enough to
flake the primer off
Odd thought: Maybe it would be easier to make the 10-22 dual wield firing pins? They could call it the "snake strike" firing system or something-two hits every time at 90 degree angles.
totally impractical but a good marketing tool lol
Second Strike...hrm...sounds like you need a Marlin 39A lever-action!
If it goes CLICK instead of BANG...you just thumb the hammer back & try again!
Of course, NOT using Remington Golden ammo will resolve most misfires...never seen ANY ammo that dud's so often as RGB's.
Not even cheap russian & chinese dirty junk.
Read my Marlin FTE repair thread for resolutions to the infamous misaligned ejection spring Marlin jam, which you can often fix with nothing but a Nickel.
Nickel high & Nickel towards center is your gauge. (thanks to ArrowDodger of RFC for the pics/concept)
If that don't work...go here for the other things you may need to know...
If you truly feel the need to kill a Marlin, send it to ME instead!! I've resuscitated bunches of 'em :)
I'm waiting until I get 4 together so I can make a 4-mounted anti-aircraft gatling setup...
I wanna shoot down some of those vampire bat/giant mostquitos they grow here in Florida ;)

This invention relates to telecommunications. In particular, this invention relates to a method and apparatus for determining "context," which is considered herein, and to be the interrelated conditions in which a thing exists or an event occurs.
Two-way wireless communication has become a nearly ubiquitous service. Cellular and 900 MHz. "PCS" (personal communications systems) provide instantaneous voice and data communications to and from portable subscriber units (e.g., a cellular telephone, pager or two-way radio) via a communication system infrastructure (e.g., one or more base stations and controllers).
The next generation of mobile communication services will likely be expected to do more than just provide two-way communications. In addition to supplying communications, the next generation of communication services will likely provide the ability to detect a user's location and environments in which the user is located. By knowing or detecting a user's location or environment, ancillary services can be rendered to the wireless communication subscriber through his or her wireless communications device. Ancillary services that are derived from knowing a persons surroundings or environment can provide additional revenue streams to the service providers that deliver them.
The local environment or context in which a wireless subscriber unit is located at any given instant can be determined from information that is broadcast to the subscriber unit from context-determinative devices using short-range wireless signals, such as Bluetooth. By using short-range wireless signals, only devices that are in relative close proximity to the subscriber unit affect the determination of the subscriber unit's context. In one embodiment, information from devices within range of each other is used by the various devices to determine the context in which they each operate. In another embodiment, information from devices is collected by a short-range wireless subscriber unit, which preferably can be carried by a person, such as a personal digital assistant (PDA), cellular telephone, pager or the like, is used to determine the context in which the subscriber unit is located. In yet another embodiment, context determinative information (i.e., information that effects or creates or defines a "context" or from which a "context" can be calculated) is forwarded to a data collector whereat the collected information is processed to identify or calculate (and therefore "determine" context) the context whereat the subscriber unit, and possibly its operator, is located. Information about the present location or context can be returned to the subscriber unit. In another embodiment, context is determined by processing information within the short-range wireless subscriber unit.
Detected context of wireless subscriber units can be sent to, or collected by, a service provider for other uses. The detected context of a subscriber unit can be used by a service provider to provide ancillary services, such as context-related advertising and context-related information or assistance to both the subscriber and to other third parties.
Each transceiver device 102, 104, 106 and 108 in a given area will have its own context that is determined by other context-determining devices in the area; however, the context of one particular device, (e.g., the device identified by reference numeral 102) in an area is not necessarily the same context of another device, (e.g., the device identified by reference numerals 104, 106 and 108) in the same area. In other words, context is viewed from the perspective of a particular device 102, 104, 106 and 108 and subscriber unit 101, 103.
Context can be derived or inferred from the presence of certain other devices in a given area, whether those devices are the aforementioned subscriber units or "devices." Context can also be derived or inferred from measurable characteristics of equipment and fixtures in an area proximate to (or surrounding) a person or device and which effectively define an environment merely by their presence or operation. By way of example, the presence and operation of metal cutting, bending and stamping equipment define the environment, (i.e., the context) of many heavy industries and manufacturing. Such equipment can be considered to correspond to the devices identified by reference numerals 102, 104, 106, and 108 in
By knowing the presence, status, operation and usage of certain kinds of devices, equipment, appliances and machinery in a given area, the nature or kind of environment, (i.e., the context) in which such devices are located can be fairly accurately determined. Once a subscriber unit's context is determined, information that is particularly pertinent to a subscriber unit user in the current context can then be calculated locally within the subscriber unit or calculated remotely and thereafter provided to a person through the subscriber unit. By way of example, when short range wireless signals from a soft drink vending machine are detected by a subscriber unit, information can be obtained from the soda vending machine that could include the machine's presence, its contents or product offerings, its location relative to the subscriber unit or other soda vending machines and from such information, a person could decide whether to purchase a product and if so, how to locate the machine. An appropriately capable subscriber unit 101 that "hears" signals from the vending machine and that can communicate with the vending machine can query the vending machine for pertinent status information, such as whether it is operational, the products it offers and product prices.
The presence, status, operation and usage of devices 102, 104, 106 and 108, such as (but not limited to) manufacturing equipment, appliances and machinery in a localized region or area can be readily determined if such information is broadcast by the devices using short range wireless signals broadcast from signal transmitters that are operatively coupled to, i.e., "associated with" each such device. When another compatible short-range wireless signal device or subscriber unit obtains information that is broadcast from other devices in the local region, the context in which the other devices are located can be determined from the other devices' presence, as well their operation and status. Once the context is calculated or determined (either locally or remotely) such information can be forwarded to other computers for further processing. In the preferred embodiment, disparate devices can "talk" to each other if they use a common communications protocol such as "Bluetooth" which is a well known standard by which, at present, certain types of devices (e.g., cell phones) can establish the presence of other Bluetooth-enabled devices geographically proximate to each other. It is expected that extensions or embellishments to the Bluetooth standard, including but, not limited to, equipment profiles, will enable Bluetooth to provide a plethora of remote functionality. Bluetooth is briefly described hereinafter.
Attached to each device 102, 104, 106 and 108, is an associated, short-range wireless signal transceiver 110, 112, 114, 116 that is compatible with at least one communications standard by which the transceivers can readily communicate with each other so that the various transceivers can at least establish the presence of each other within the coverage area of the short range signals.
In addition to being able to simply establish the presence of other devices, in a preferred embodiment, each of the devices 102, 104, 106 and 108 includes, or is coupled to, a processor or other device by which information about the device 102, 104, 106 and 108 (e.g., functionality, operation, etc.) is collected, formatted and sent to the associated radio transceiver 110, 112, 114, 116 for broadcast using the short range wireless signals. In the preferred embodiment, the devices 102, 104, 106 and 108 and their associated radio transceivers 110, 112, 114 and 116 not only broadcast their own presence and status but also receive information announcing the presence and status of each other as well as receiving information announcing the presence and status of subscriber units 101 and 103. In so doing, the devices 102, 104, 106 and 108 can determine their own context (with respect to other devices and subscriber units) but also act as context determinative devices with respect to those other devices and subscriber units.
As shown in
In application, the various devices 110, 112, 114 and 116 can include, but are not limited to factory or retail store appliances, equipment, computers and the like, the presence, operation and status of which can be measured and the knowledge of which provide value and/or interest. Particular devices are not shown for purposes of brevity and the identity of particular kinds of monitored equipment is not germane to the invention disclosed and claimed herein. As set forth above, the mere presence of some kinds of devices suggests a location or environment or "context" whereat such machines are commonly found.
The functional device component 202 is operatively coupled to a processing unit 204, typically embodied as one or more microprocessors or microcontrollers that execute program instructions stored in memory (not shown) but known to those of ordinary skill in the art to include devices such as semiconductor read only memory (ROM), random access memory (RAM), magnetic disk and equivalents thereof. Those skilled in the art will also recognize that determining the status or operation of a device such as a vending machine or other device by way of a processor will require appropriate coupling of the processor 204 to the device component 202, typically using one or more analog-to-digital (A/D) converters (to measure analog signal quantities), digital-to-analog converters (D/A) (to control a device) and other interfacing equipment, well-known to those of ordinary skill in the computer art.
A context determination unit 206 is preferably embodied as software stored in memory and which executes on or in the processor 204 so as to cause the processor 204 to read pertinent information, such as the state of the device (in service or out of service) directly from the device 202. Alternate embodiments of the context determination unit 206 would include specific circuitry to interface the processor 204 to context determining hardware (e.g., sensors, transducers and the A/Ds, D/As to couple them to a computer) in the functional device 202.
In the preferred embodiment, context determination unit (CDU) software obtains context determinative information from the functional device 202 for transmission via the short-range wireless transceiver 210 (including, but not limited to: a detector; demodulator/discriminator and a modulator and power amplifier). Examples of context determinative information obtained from the functional device would include, but not be limited to; the presence of a particular device 202; its operability (operable or failed); recent or historical device 202 usage over different time periods (operating cycles over time); potentially problematic conditions (e.g., an overheating motor). When the context determination unit is software that operates or runs on the processor 204, it (and therefore the processor) are responsible for performing the function of determining the functionality of the device 202, as well as its status (operative or inoperative) and historical activity, such as operating cycles per unit time.
The unique identifier 208 as shown in
By using short range wireless signals, information about one device 102, 104, 106 or 108 or subscriber unit 101 can be collected from it by another, communications-compatible device or from subscriber unit 103 when the devices and subscriber units are in relatively close proximity to each other. For purposes of this disclosure, "close proximity" and "short range" is ordinarily considered to be substantially less than the distance over which a cellular, PCS (personal communication system) or paging signal will propagate and typically on the order or less than 50 meters. Inasmuch as an objective of the present invention is to detect context in the immediate vicinity of a user, acquiring data of distant devices would adversely affect the ability of the subscriber units and devices to discern the presence and status of local devices and subscriber units of interest. In some embodiments of the present invention, "short range" would include distances greater than 50 meters because the distance over which the context of a subscriber unit is determined will be affected by the function and purpose of the subscriber unit. As an example, when an airplane is parked at a gate, on a tarmac, its context will be affected by other aircraft, ground vehicles and personnel that might be only a few meters distant. In contrast, the context of an airplane in flight and on final approach to an airport will be affected by aircraft that might be several hundred meters distant. Accordingly, for purposes of claim construction, the term "short-range" should not be limited to less than 50 meters but more generally also to distances that are relevant to the particular subscriber unit and its function. In most instances however, "short range" is considered to be on the order of 50 meters or less. At present, there is at least one short-range wireless communications standard known as the "Bluetooth" standard. Details of the Bluetooth standard are available from the official Bluetooth web site. The invention described and claimed herein should not be construed as limited to compliance with Bluetooth but should instead be understood to be useable with any short-range wireless communications protocol.
Alternate and equivalent transceiver embodiments would employ infrared, ultraviolet or audio signals and require compatible transmitters and sensors in place of RF transmitters, receivers, modulators, and demodulators depicted in
A function of the processor 404 of the subscriber unit 400 and its associated software is to recover from the detected and demodulated signals broadcast from the aforementioned devices 200, information about the devices. Information obtained from a signal received from one or more devices within range of the subscriber unit 400 is used to derive context-determinative information, which can be used to provide a plethora of ancillary services to the subscriber unit or the subscriber unit user.
In instances where context information needs to be displayed, information about the subscriber unit 400 surroundings can be displayed on a liquid crystal display screen 408 or other equivalent display devices such as a cathode ray tube (CRT) or via an audio output such as an "ear bud" all of which are considered for claim construction purposes to be equivalent user interfaces. In other instances, input queries or other input strings to a subscriber unit can be made via a keyboard, keypad, mouse, bar code reader or touch screen 410 enable a user to send text and data into the processor 404 as well for transmission via a modulator 412 and amplifier 414.
As depicted in
By knowing the context in which a particular subscriber unit is located, information can be sent to the subscriber unit that is of importance to the subscriber unit user. By way of example and not of limitation, knowing that a subscriber unit is in a particular area of a particular retailer, vendors of particular products or services can deliver targeted information directly to the subscriber unit. Such targeted information can include targeted advertising, product offerings or sales incentives or product data or specifications. In another example, knowing that a subscriber unit is in a dangerous environment can be used to protect the subscriber unit user from unnecessary or prolonged exposure. In yet another application, attaching a subscriber unit to a shipping container can enable the container- and its contents—to be tracked and located. In still another application, detecting context can be used to track the performance of employees by tracking the location of employees over time. Context can be used to track the operation and usage of equipment over time.
Ancillary services, such as those described above, can be provided by services providers that receive context information from subscriber units and/or context-determinative devices. In a preferred embodiment, context information is collected locally, i.e., proximate to the environment in which context is being measured. The collected context information is then transmitted to a service provider using more long-distance signals or perhaps a hard-wired connection by which context information can be sent off for processing required to provide ancillary services such as those mentioned above.
By way of example, information from a subscriber unit that detects the presence and operation of equipment and/or machinery that generates X-ray radiation can be forwarded to a medical service provider so as to monitor the instantaneous and cumulative expose to harmful radiation. The medical service provider can more accurately advise a user who is in a particular environment when his or her continued presence therein might be dangerous.
Information sent from a subscriber unit from which it could be inferred that the subscriber unit user is in a particular retail store can be used by a marketing services company to transmit informative messages to the subscriber unit or to instruct a sales representative of the store to provide assistance.
Information as to the location of a container that is equipped with a context-sensing subscriber unit can be used to locate the container and to determine its arrival at a particular destination. In order to provide such ancillary services, context information needs to be collected and processed.
By sending context information to remotely located service providers, such service providers can render valuable services to either a subscriber unit user or to other entities who might benefit from knowing the context of an individual thereby enabling the provision of services likely to be expected in the next generation of wireless communications devices and systems. The provision of such services can be a significant source of revenue to those who provide them. For claim construction purposes, any service rendered to a subscriber unit or a subscriber unit user that arises out of the determination of context or of the collection of context-determinative information is considered to be a context-relevant service. Any information provided or sent to a subscriber unit as a result of the determination of context or of the collection of context-determinative information is considered to be sending context-relevant information.
Only one transmitter is shown in
The re-transmitted information from one or more subscriber units 101, 103 or devices 102, 104, 106 or 108 can be sent via a long-range transmitter to another radio subscriber unit and computer on 118 (
Depending upon the detected context using the system depicted in
With reference to
If at a later time, the subscriber unit 101 has moved to a different location, identified in
At yet a later time when the subscriber unit 101 has moved to a third location, denoted by reference numeral 101-3, whereat two different signals are "heard" by the subscriber unit, the context at the location denoted by reference numeral 101-3 can determined from signals from the third and fourth devices 106 and 108.
By tracking context of a subscriber unit 101 over time, a service provider can determine context (i.e., environments) in which the subscriber unit 101 has been present. Stated alternatively, by way of the information emitted from the various devices 102, 104, 106 and 108 with which a subscriber unit has been in communication with, it is possible to determine the contexts or environments into which the subscriber unit has been transported. From the information obtained from the various context-determining devices 102, 104, 106 and 108, helpful information can be sent to the subscriber unit from either the devices or the service provider 118.
In such an application, an operator of one of the subscriber units 601 and 603 can attempt to execute control commands to the MRI device 605, albeit after the MRI 605 establishes that the two subscriber devices are eligible to control its operation. By virtue of the MRI device's detection of short range wireless signals from one or more subscriber units, the MRI device 605 preferably queries the subscriber units it hears for validation data. Validation data would include any indicia of authorization to use and control the MRI device 605 which can be stored within the memory or unique identifier data structure stored within the MRI device 605.
Upon the MRI device's 605 determination that a subscriber unit 601 or 603 was authorized to access the device 605, remote operation of the MRI can be established using the subscriber device 601 or 603 as a sort of hand-held remote, albeit via short range wireless signals, such as the Bluetooth standard.
As the subscriber unit 701 hears the Bluetooth compliant signals from the display kiosk 704 and printer kiosk 706, it can ascertain what the kiosks are as well as their capabilities, i.e., display and print. Inasmuch as the subscriber unit is capable of long-range communications via cellular, PCS or SMR radio or the like, a calling or called party can send data to the subscriber unit for either printing or display by forwarding such data to the subscriber unit 701. Upon receipt by the subscriber unit 701, resources in the kiosks 704 and 706 can be used to display or print files residing in the subscriber unit 701 by wirelessly transferring them to the kiosk-resident display device or printer device. Alternatively, a higher bandwidth connection could be made directly to one of the kiosks 704 or 706 for increased service fidelity. By knowing the context of the subscriber unit 701, i.e., the surroundings including resources such as the display and printer kiosks, a remote service provider 708 can extend services to the subscriber unit 701 that it alone cannot provide.
In step 802, the subscriber unit receiver monitors one or more radio frequencies, infrared wavelengths or audio frequencies for the presence or absence of recoverable signals. Upon the detection of a carrier in step 804, a decision is made in step 806 as to whether the detected carrier signal strength is usable, i.e., above an empirically-determined threshold indicative of whether the carrier source is within the aforementioned "short range and which is required to sustain reliable communications." In many instances, a marginal carrier level will result in a determination that no short-range wireless signal source is present, as shown by the return of program control to step 802 from both decision steps 804 and 806.
In step 808, the subscriber unit recovers the data from the detected (and sufficiently robust) carrier and in step 810, two-way communications are established with the detected devices. Information recovered from the data preferably provides a determination of simply the presence of the device but also its status; operation and/or availability for further service.
In step 812, data recovered from the detected devices is forwarded to a context determining service provider, which has at a remote location, a data base and processing capability to analyze data and information from the devices and derive therefrom, the "context" of the subscriber unit. In an alternate and equivalent embodiment, data from detected devices can be processed locally, i.e., by the processor within a device or subscriber unit so as to "locally" determine context. At step 814, the service provider processes data received by the subscriber and forwarded to the service provider to determine the subscriber's context. The service provider can thereafter extend other services to the subscriber unit from or by the detected devices. In an alternate embodiment, a service provider that detects certain contexts can relay information or perhaps advertising to a subscriber unit based upon its context determination.
It should be apparent that from the foregoing, that by periodically broadcasting information from various kinds of equipment and devices via short-range wireless signals using a recognizable protocol such as Bluetooth that the detection of such signals inherently provides usable information that is potentially useful. The resources of such equipment and devices can be more readily used and recorded.
