It's Tuesday May 26, 2020
News From The Village Updated Almost Daily
June 13, 2013
Willie Sutton, the 1950s bank robber, when asked, "Why do you rob banks?" replied, "Because that's where the money is." Willie would not be interested in our state's ferry toll system.
One of the more frustrating aspects of the current ferry toll legislation is that it only addresses gross revenue. Imagine a small business that was only concerned with the inflow of money, with no regard to overhead. The reality is it costs a lot of money to take up the existing ferry tolls, and will cost much more if tolls are added to the two commuter ferries.
Last year the existing three ferry routes that charge tolls generated $2.1 million dollars in gross revenue. The labor and IT expense to collect that revenue was almost $1 million. That's almost 50% overhead. Compare that to our highway tax that operates at around 6% overhead.
The commuter ferries, where relatively few people make many trips will have overhead expenses even higher. The projected labor expense alone for the Cherry Branch ferry that crosses the Neuse River is projected to be $244,000 a year. Overhead will likely exceed 75% of revenue.
Ferry ridership has dropped by over 130,000 vehicles since 2008. By the state's own estimates, half of those vehicles were carrying tourists that generate on average, one hundred dollars of tax revenue per visit. Get those tourists back and it will add $6.5 million of tax revenue to the state coffers. The state will actually generate more revenue from having toll free ferries, than it will from collecting tolls.
I ask the General Assembly as it debates the ferry toll legislation to please keep your promises of reducing bureaucratic overhead, and freeing small businesses to prosper. Raise revenue by growing our economy, not by taxing people to go to work. Help eastern North Carolina, and get rid of all ferry tolls.

Historic 5 Points has become one of the hip and happening spots in town. In addition to neighborhood favorites like The Mossfire Grill, O'Brothers Irish Pub and Sake House, a handful of new spots have opened and business is booming.
Black Sheep Restaurant (1534 Park St., 355-3793, blacksheep5points.com) is open for lunch and dinner. The spot, Orsay's sister restaurant, serves new American favorites with a Southern twist. With the rooftop bar now open, Black Sheep will debut a brunch menu in the weeks ahead.
Black Sheep pays great attention to utilizing locally sourced ingredients and plating them beautifully. At lunch, meals arrive at your table on shiny silver retro cafeteria-style trays. The pimento cheese-stuffed fried green olives are stacked high with a creamy dipping sauce, while the Black Hog Farms Egg Toast is a sturdy rectangle of brioche topped with melted cheese and two symmetrical parallel placed eggs.
The vibe is fun and hip, with large floor-to-ceiling windows that are perfect for sunlight and people-watching.
Derby on Park (1068 Park St., 379-3343, facebook.com/DerbyOnPark) replaced the former Derby House with new owners, a new space and new menu at the corner of Park Street and Lomax. Open for lunch and dinner Tuesday through Saturday, and brunch on Sunday, Derby touts a $3 to $5 drink and appetizer special list for happy hour.
Cozy Tea Café (1023 Park St., 329-3964, cozyt.com) moved down a few storefronts to a larger space and has reinstated its celebrated Friday and Saturday Indian dinners in addition to its popular Monday-through-Saturday lunch service. Every time I stop in for lunch, I snag a warm lemon cookie. The freshly baked treat has a perfect chewy-to-crispy ratio, and the warm lemon drizzle on top sends it over the edge.
Spot 5 on Park (1020 Park St., 655-5533) recently opened and serves lunch and dinner, coffee and drinks. Spot 5's simplistic menu includes salads, six styles of hot dogs, and sandwiches.
Corrado's Bakery N Bistro plans to open at the former Domo Crepes spot at 813 Lomax St.
Relative newcomer Tapa That (820 Lomax St., 376-9911, tapathat.com) recently celebrated seven months of being in business. Owner Michael Coutu and his sister Chef Arielle have a tapas-style eatery with a changing menu — more than half of the items utilize local and sustainable ingredients. Go for the roasted vegetable salad with goat cheese and balsamic reduction, the braised chorizo in red wine and the bite-sized banana beignets (say that three times fast!) — if they're not sold out.

The death this week of former Surgeon General C. Everett Koop is a reminder that when the right person gets the right job, change can take place across the nation.
Koop was indeed a surgeon before government service and, with Dr. Richard Carmona, was one of two surgeons ever to hold the position. His specialty was pediatric surgery, which meant oftentimes he was looking to save a child's life to give him or her an opportunity for a robust and healthy adult life.
His appointment to the nation's top federal health position meant he was able to speak out in ways to give many more people the knowledge they needed to live healthy lives.
When he was tapped by Ronald Reagan to be the surgeon general, a frightening disease was taking its toll on young men, mostly from large urban centers. Many of those dying were gay men, and others were intravenous drug users. Some didn't fall into either category, but were inexplicably grouped with the first two categories of victims by some as being the subject of a divine punishment, perhaps.
Koop was able to see through such a guise. Using the data being collected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as well as from private sources, he helped paint the picture of what was to be known as AIDS, caused by the virus known as HIV. He was able to spread the word about how the disease was transmitted — and how it was not. Koop also used his time in the bully pulpit to press the cause for comprehensive sex education, including abstinence and contraceptives, and used his Christian faith as a tool to help bring many groups to the table to help further the cause of public health, not vilify those whose health had already been taken.
As an American health leader, C. Everett Koop leaves a legacy that most public servants strive for: He was principled and, in the face of a crisis, used his principles where applicable and crafted solutions from whole cloth when needed. Such leadership is worth celebrating.

I feel your pain! And have felt it for the last four years or so as I'm in a Websphere shop. I refuse to defend WebSphere as I think its a mockery of J2EE. However, when you have to scale applications that will run upwards of 5000 transactions/minute and share code and applications accross a hundred departments you quickly see where Perl just isn't the best tool for the job.
I've always stuck my nose into every enterprise Perl discussion hoping to either think or discover an angle that would make it more palatable to large corporations beyond that of a batch/scripting language. At this point I'm realizing Perl does what it does. Inspires inovation, solves crises, and gives me an edge over other developers when the heat is on. I find I'm not looking to make Perl into what it isn't, but constantly looking for where I can take advantage of it as it is.

Compliance Management
A commonality that exists within quality assurance, Act compliance, standards compliance, or company policy implementation is that the starting point to all of these is the same, a document, whether that might be internal or external. These are all types of "compliance management", which are designed to ensure that the actions of people within an organisation comply with a predefined set of rules. These "rules", whether they are methods of work, policies, procedures, SOPS or other forms of guidelines, can be enforced in different ways. The "quality management" model would entail the publishing of the relevant policies and procedures and then to ensure that these policies and procedures are adhered to.
ISO9001 is most probably one of the best-known standards to ensure consistent results and to continually improve the process of quality. Not only does an organisation that are ISO9001 compliant need to follow the process but they also need to follow other rules, such as complying with the law and other practices. Every organisation has to comply with multiple, overlapping requirements and laws.
Being compliant with different standards, such as ISO9001, poses a challenge to any organisation that need to implement a set of "rules" in order to do business. The challenge to any organisation is not to implement and be compliant to those "rules", but to what extent to automate the process.

87-Day Countdown to 13GE - Persistently dishonest, unprofessional and lying BN mainstream media may prove to be the final undoing of Najib as Prime Minister and ousting of UMNO/BN from Putrajaya in 13GE
It is not only ironic but simply unbelievable that on the night of KL112, the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak could host the Umno general assembly 2012 Media Appreciation Night and speak about the importance of the media to UMNO.
Rational and independent-minded Malaysians, including the four million middle-ground voters who will decide whether it is Barisan Nasional or Pakatan Rakyat which will form the federal government in Putrajaya in the 13th general elections, must be asking whether Najib is rooted firmly to the ground in reality or is living in a make-believe world of his own.
What Najib said about the media a few hours after the KL112, which marked an important turning point in a maturing democracy, is simply surreal.
How could Najib with a straight face urge the media to play the role of an intermediary that delivers the feelings and aspirations of the people to the government and which report the grievances and criticisms leveled at the government to enable improvements to be carried out when the Barisan Nasional mainstream media, whether print, radio, television or online, have been most guilty of the very opposite, completely unrepentant in fabricating and purveying lies after lies about the Pakatan Rakyat?
For weeks, the Barisan Nasional mainstream media had told a "Big Lie" about KL112 and they are still purveying the "Big Lie" after KL112, although the "Big Lie" had been completely pulverized and demolished as baseless and untrue!
There can be no doubt that one of the greatest losers of the successful and peaceful holding of KL112 is the Barisan Nasional mainstream media (MSM), which is why Malaysiakini in its roundup "KL112: Winners and losers" listed the mainstream media as one of the three "losers" after the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak and UMNO/Barisan Nasional while The Malaysian Insider carried an editorial entitled: "Mainstream media's epic fail".
Although Najib deserves plaudit for not allowing the UMNO/BN and police hardliners to sabotage the KL112 and suffer public odium as happened in Bersih 2.0 and Bersih 3.0 rallies, he has not been able to project an image of a strong, serious and effective Prime Minister committed to the various transformation programmes announced in his name – many thanks to a persistently dishonest, unprofessional and lying BN mainstream media!
It is also thanks to a persistently dishonest, unprofessional and lying BN mainstream media that a recent Merdeka Centre opinion poll in the last fortnight of December found that Najib's popularity rating has dropped to the lowest level for the whole year – 63% in December 2012 as compared to 69% in February 2012 – while only 52 per cent of voters say that the country is heading in the right direction, the lowest since May 2010.
The former Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, had better poll ratings before the March 2008 general elections than Najib on the eve of the 13th general elections but that did not save the Abdullah premiership.
Abdullah's popularity rating plunged from a high of 91% after the 2004 general election to 61% in December 2007 (which is still higher than Najib's popularity rating of 52% in December 2012) while 63% of the voters felt that the country was heading in the right direction in December 2007 ( as compared to 52% under Najib in December 2012).
Although Najib's approval rating has plunged to the lowest for the whole of last year, Merdeka Centre also reported that the level of dissatisfaction has reached the highest level in Najib's four-year premiership, at 30% as compared to 28% in October 2012 and 16% in May 2009.
Also noteworthy is Merdeka Centre's finding that while Najib's approval rating has slid to 63 percent, his administration and Barisan Nasional has trailed further behind at 47 per cent and 45 per cent respectively.
With Najib securing lower ratings on both scores than Abdullah just before the 2008 general elections, whether popularity rating as Prime Minister or voters' perception whether the country is heading in the right direction, it is no surprise that there are UMNO leaders who are very pessimistic about UMNO/BN prospects in the 13GE , with even the Johore Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Ghani Othman publicly predicting that Pakatan Rakyat could win the 13GE with a slim majority of 5% to 10% of the parliamentary seats – i.e. a Pakatan Rakyat majority from 12-22 seats!
If this Ghani scenario comes about, one cause could be the total lack of public trust and credibility of the Barisan Nasional mainstream media, which is a standing proof to all Malaysians, and in particular the four million middle-ground voters, of the irredeemable character of UMNO/BN as totally incapable of reform unless it is despatched to the Opposition benches in Parliament.
The persistently dishonest, unprofessional and lying Barisan Nasional mainstream media may prove to be the final undoing of Najib as Prime Minister and the ousting of UMNO/BN from Putrajaya in the 13GE.

Carrie Underwood Responds to 'Stick to Singing' Blast From Tennessee State Representative
Carrie Underwood has responded to a suggestion made by Tennessee State Representative Andy Holt that she should stick to singing instead of politics and lawmaking. At issue is the Livestock Cruelty Prevention Act, known as the Ag-Gag Bill to critics like the country singer, the ASPCA and the Humane Society of the United States.
Underwood fired first on Thursday (April 18) when she tweeted her reaction to the passing of the bill in Tennessee. It would require anyone with recorded images of animal abuse to submit the unedited footage to officials within 48 hours of the event. "Shame on TN lawmakers for passing the Ag Gag bill," the singer said. "If (Tenn.) Gov. Bill Haslam signs this, he needs to expect me at his front door. Who's with me?
Underwood has been praised for speaking out by animal rights groups and by other country singers like Wynonna Judd. Holt fired back at her however, asking "Have you read the bill? I assume not. You are only going off your HSUS talking points. Use logic, not emotion."
He then told WSMV-TV that, "I would say that if Carrie Underwood will stick to singing, I'll stick to lawmaking."
I should stick to singing? Wow...sorry, I'm just a tax paying citizen concerned for the safety of my family. #NoAgGag wsmv.com/story/22027811…
— Carrie Underwood (@carrieunderwood) April 20, 2013
Gov. Haslam has not signed the bill yet, so it remains to be seen if Underwood will follow up on her threat. The worry is abuse will not be reported in time for authorities to take action.
The superstar has made waves in recent years with comments on politics or society. Last year she announced her support of gay marriage, which left many fans applauding while many were upset.

NBC's Michael Isikoff reports on what a source, inside the hospital room with Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, is telling him about Tsarnaev's interaction with investigators. NBC analyst Roger Cressey also joins to discuss what authorities are now saying about the Tsarnaev brothers' possible plans for an attack on New York City.
A badly wounded but awake Dzhokhar Tsarnaev showed little signs of fear or remorse during his hospital room court hearing earlier this week and his heart monitor didn't register a blip when he was told he was facing the death penalty in the Boston Marathon bombing case, according to a source familiar with the events inside the hospital room when he was read his rights.
Tsarnaev's face was splotched and swollen, his left hand was bandaged, and he was unable to talk during the brief court hearing presided over by U.S. Judge Marianne Bowler on Monday afternoon.
The surviving bombing suspect mouthed rather than said the word "no" when asked if he could afford a lawyer and nodded in the affirmative when asked if he understood his rights.
But Tsarnaev appeared to fully follow the proceeding, the source said. The most telling moment, the source said, came early on when, after Tsarnaev was informed of the two charges against him, the judge asked prosecutor William Weinreb to spell out the possible penalties he was facing.
"Your honor, the maximum penalty is death," Weinreb said, according to a public transcript of the proceeding.
Tsarnaev showed no reaction — nor did his heart monitor register any change, the source said. "There was no blip at all," said the source.
But heart monitors don't always register emotional responses — and there is no way to tell what impact medications Tsarmaev may have been given had, according to medical experts.
There have also been conflicting reports about Tsarnaev's mental state in the days after his capture. "Over the weekend, he's in and out of lucidity," Rep. Mike Rogers, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said on MSNBC's "Andrea Mitchell" show on Thursday. "He's got — he's on medication, he's talking, but he's not talking, he's unconscious, he's going for medical procedures."
But those present at the bedside court hearing were convinced that Tsarnaev was fully cognizant of the circumstances he was facing, the source said. Judge Bowler agreed. "I find the defendant is alert, mentally competent and lucid," she said, according to the transcript. "He is aware of the nature of the proceedings."
Handout / FBI via Reuters
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, has been charged in the Boston Marathon bombing.
The court proceeding erupted as a source of controversy Thursday when Rogers charged that Judge Bowler had interfered with FBI questioning of Tsarnaev – and that the Justice Department failed to object — when she ordered that Tsarnaev be read his rights on Monday, a day after he was charged in a then-sealed complaint at 6:47 p.m. Sunday.
FBI agents were questioning Tsarnaev — and getting his responses in writing — under a "public safety exception" that allows agents to obtain information from criminal suspects for 48 hours without reading them their constitutional rights informing them they have the right to remain silent and a right to a lawyer. The information that agents got — including the disclosure Thursday that Tsarnaev and his brother had talked about driving to Times Square to set off more bombs — came during those sessions over the weekend.
But Rogers said Thursday that FBI agents "weren't quite finished with him" when Bowler directed that the court hearing take place that Monday. "To have the court affirmatively push their way in, is — A) I think it's wrong, and B) we should have given the FBI the time that they needed." Justice Department officials "have a lot of explaining to do."
Bowler, asked by NBC News about Rogers' charges in her federal courtroom in Boston Thursday, replied: "The court does not comment."
A federal law enforcement official disputed Rogers' account, telling NBC News that FBI agents had already left the hospital room and wrapped up their questioning before the court hearing took place mid-day Monday. In a statement emailed to reporters Thursday, Justice Department spokesman Dean Boyd said that, after the criminal complaint was filed, the rules of criminal procedure required the judge to advice the defendant of his rights.
"The prosecutors and FBI agents in Boston were advised of the scheduled initial appearance in advance of its occurrence," he said.

New York and California propose bans on microplastics found in cosmetics
Here's a race to cheer for: New York and California are neck-in-neck to become the first state to ban microbeads in body wash and other cosmetics.
The tiny plastic bits that serve as exfoliants in personal care products are so small that they slip through municipal wastewater treatment, and end up in lakes, rivers and oceans. Once introduced to the aquatic environment, they are ingested by fish and other wildlife.
Legislation introduced in California proposes a ban on all products containing microbeads. "It's important to get to this before it becomes a wide-scale problem—before it requires a very expensive response," California Assemblyman Richard Bloom told The LA Times. "We know enough about marine biology to know that it will grow in magnitude and continue to be a problem."New York's proposed law goes even further. The Microbead-Free Waters Act not only bans the sale of these products but also the production, manufacture and distribution of products containing plastics of 5 millimeters or smaller. "From the Great Lakes to the Hudson River to Long Island Sound, our commitment to protecting and restoring New York's waters is among our most important responsibilities," New York Attorney General Schneiderman said in a press release.
Several manufacturers have already committed to removing microbeads from their products, including The Body Shop, Johnson & Johnson and Unilever. However, legislation is a more aggressive tactic for slowing the flow of these plastics. If California and New York can set the pace, hopefully more states will follow.
There are a number of alternatives to plastics available to manufactures, such as cocoa beans or apricot pits. If consumers want to avoid plastic beads, the Natural Resources Defense Counsel recommends not purchasing products with "polyethylene" or "polypropylene" on their labels.
Legislation in both states was shaped in part by the advocacy group 5 Gyres, which has also been studying mircoplastic pollution in the Great Lakes. In an interview in July, 5 Gyres co-founder Anna Cummins told TreeHugger that microplastics are virtually impossible to filter out of our waterways.
"This just underscores the importance of prevention, and source reduction," she said. "Once in our lakes and oceans, plastics are there to stay, unless they are eaten by organisms, or wash back up onto shore."

The Ransom Center's Koester Poe collection contains 72 letters written by Edgar Allan Poe, 16 of which appear in the bicentennial exhibition, From Out That Shadow: The Life and Legacy of Edgar Allan Poe. One of these letters has become my favorite item to share with visitors during tours through the gallery. Written in January 1848, the long, newsy letter is mostly a summary of Poe's professional doings during 1847, but toward the end, Poe suddenly pours out a lengthy description of his wife Virginia's slow, painful death of tuberculosis, the same disease that had killed Poe's mother. It is a fascinating document that shows how entwined the personal, the professional, and the poetical were in Poe's life—a fact confirmed by many artifacts in the exhibition.
The letter is written to George Eveleth, a medical student who wrote Poe a fan letter in 1845, initiating a correspondence that lasted until at least July of 1849, three months before Poe's own death. Several letters between the men survive. They primarily concern Poe's professional life and opinions, as well as Eveleth's desire to purchase various publications of Poe's works. In July 1847, Eveleth had written Poe a letter containing several questions, one of which referred to an open letter Poe had published in "The Spirit of the Times" in Philadelphia two weeks earlier. In that piece, Poe had defended himself vigorously against charges including forgery and fraud, posed by one of his literary rivals, Thomas Dunn English. In that piece, he defended himself in part by referring cryptically to a "terrible evil" in his personal life. Soon after, he launched a famously successful libel suit against the magazine in which English's piece was published. This professional crisis, combined with the trauma of Virginia's long deterioration and death, and Poe's own illness, made 1847 one of the most difficult years of the writer's life.
Poe was unable to respond to Eveleth until January of the following year, and the resulting letter seems to mark a turning point; early in the letter he states that he feels "better—best. I have never been so well." He offers numbered answers to Eveleth's many questions, ticking through his publishing plans and literary rivalries—including the English affair—with vigor. When he reaches the number ten, the letter shifts tone. He writes, "You say—'Can you hint to me what was the terrible evil' which caused the irregularities so profoundly lamented? Yes; I can do more than hint."
The description that follows is stunning—Virginia's slow decline is described in painful detail, and the reader has a precious glimpse of this pivotal moment in Poe's life. But what is most remarkable about the passage is its tone. It does not shift from the professional to the personal, as one might expect; it shifts from the professional to the literary. Poe's description of Virginia's death is a beautiful prose construction, equal in artistry to his greatest tales and essays. It is written not in the language of the grieving widower, but that of the great artist performing to his audience; each sentence deserves to be diagrammed. Two in particular seem carefully constructed to manipulate Eveleth just as Poe manipulated magazine readers as the author of Gothic tales. Both set up a strong emotional reaction in the reader by ending with a word or phrase directly opposite what the reader expects: "I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity" and "I had indeed, nearly abandoned all hope of a permanent cure when I found one in the death of my wife." The second half of each of these sentence shocks, particularly in the second example, in which Virginia's death is reduced to a cure for her husband's suffering—not because Poe wished for her death, but because it works so beautifully as a narrative device for his audience of one. Each time I share it with visitors in the gallery, I am as disturbed as they are.
Perhaps Poe's ability to write with such art is a sign that he can view Virginia's death with perspective; as such, perhaps this letter is a sign of his (temporary) rehabilitation. Whatever the reason, the lines about Virginia are unsettling in just the manner of Poe's best tales and poems—but more so, being a description of the death of a real beautiful woman, not just an imagined one.
You can view the original letter in its entirety in the Edgar Allan Poe digital collection.
You can read transcriptions of all surviving letters between Edgar Allan Poe and George Washington Eveleth, as well as "Mr. Poe's Reply to Mr. English and Others" in The Spirit of the Times on the Edgar Allan Poe Society's website.
You can see this and many more original artifacts until January 3, when the exhibition closes.

GOVERNMENT has challenged chiefs in Southern Province to forfeit subsidies and other benefits that come with the status of being chiefs if they do not want its presence at their traditional ceremonies.
So far, Government has not been invited to officiate at the Bene Mukuni traditional ceremony of Senior Chief Mukuni and the Lwiindi Gonde of Chief Monze where United Party for National Development president Hakainde Hichilema has been in attendance.
Minister of Chiefs and Traditional Affairs Lawrence Sichalwe said in interview yesterday that it will be difficult for Government to work with chiefs who do not want to collaborate with it.
"Traditional leaders are agents of Government and that's why we pay them subsidies. Chiefs who don't want to work with us should forfeit what they are benefiting from Government, " he said
Meanwhile , UPND President Hakainde Hichilema has called on the country to remain united even amidst divisive calls by those who may not value oneness.
"We are one people, as country we must remain united and work towards alleviating poverty, no arrests on those with dissent will shape our country's development agenda, even when hate and hurt speech, arrests are done on any of us in the country by those who do not value oneness, we must not be shaken because we outnumber them," said Mr. Hichilema.
Mr. Hichilema reiterated that the country needs peace for development while emphasising that arrests on citizens with dissent will not in any way foster development but tension.
Mr. Hichilema also emphasized the need to restore the rule of law in the country and enable citizens enjoy their fundamental basic human rights.
"Arresting Hakainde or any one else unlawfully in the country is not development, because the country will always side with progressive and development focused not those oppressing others, our people have no food, medicine, education and all and surely you can't keep suppressing them because they have rights," added Mr Hichilema.
Mr. Hichilema who attended the Gonde Lwiindi ceremony in Monze yesterday afternoon also bemoaned poor maize prices and the underperforming agriculture sector.
The UPND President sympathized with the farmers but called on them not to relent but remain hopeful.
Mr. Hichilema added that the country must continue joining hands in celebrating various traditional ceremonies as this will help shape the future.
"We must not forget where we are coming from, history help us as a people to shape our future,"said Mr Hichilema.
The Gonde Lwiindi ceremony which took place yesterday in Monze, was attended by hundreds of people from various parts of the country.

lucernhammer is a collection of ultra-high performance electromagnetic (EM) signature and radar cross section (RCS) prediction tools. It represents a modern, state of the art approach to scattering code engineering and design. lucernhammer MT is an asymptotic signature code that implements the methods of Physical Optics (PO), the Physical Theory of Diffration (PTD), and Shooting and Bouncing Rays (SBR). It supports conducting and lossy layered dielectric materials over conductor. It is written in C from the ground up, and is completely parallel processing capable on all supported plaforms. Serenity is a full-wave electromagnetic solver based upon the three-dimensional Method of Moments (MoM). It implements the Electric and Magnetic Field Integral Equations (EFIE, MFIE) with RWG basis functions for its solution. This code is also fully parallelized on all platforms. Companion tools include triangle mesh visualization, synthetic aperture (SAR) imaging, and geometry model manipulation and transformation utilities. Supported platforms are Windows 9X/2000/NT, x86 linux, and SGI IRIX/IRIX64. This software suite is currently export controlled by the United States and may only be purchased by eligible US defense contractors, government agencies and educational institutions.

What we do.
We build great websites for great people.
We want all of our websites to be great. We think these principles help us do just that.
We Expect Results
We exist to make good organizations better. We work as a team to produce real results because we want our work to matter.
We Listen
We spend the necessary time to learn who you are and understand your goals and opportunities. Those insights shape everything we do.
We're Honest
We believe fairness and honesty are more important than short-term gains. We are in this business to make good people more effective and we treat you with the respect you deserve.
We Care
We advise you on the best ways to accomplish your goals–regardless of their impact on us. We're less interested in extracting the maximum possible price for our work than producing the best possible results. We want you to succeed.
We Keep Our Egos Under Control
We don't know everything. Egos don't help projects. Thoughtful, respectful conversation is much more conducive to results.
