text: A "clean-catch" urine sample is performed by collecting the sample of urine in midstream. Men or boys should wipe clean the head of the penis. Women or girls need to wash the area between the lips of the vagina with soapy water and rinse well. A small amount of urine should initially fall into the toilet bowl before it is collected (this clears the urethra of contaminants). Then, in a clean container, catch about 1 to 2 ounces of urine and remove the container from the urine stream. The container is then given to the health care provider.

Shares of K2 Global Equities (KII.AX) have seen the Mesa Adaptive Moving Average (MAMA) climb above the Fractional Moving Average or FAMA. The crossing of the MAMA and FAMA lines can be used to generate Buy and Sell signals. When the MAMA crosses above the FAMA a buy signal is given. Alternatively, when the MAMA crosses below the FAMA a sell signal is given.The MESA Adaptive Moving Average is a technical trend-following indicator which adapts to price movement "based on the rate change of phase as measured by the Hilbert Transform Discriminator". This method of adaptation features a fast and a slow moving average so that the composite moving average swiftly responds to price changes and holds the average value until the next bar's close. The Averages act as support and resistance areas and the price will tend to react to them. This makes pullbacks to the MAMA and FAMA suitable with-trend entry areas. As with most technical indicators, the MAMA is best used in conjuction with additional signals.
Tracking moving averages is one of the most universally used techniques for performing technical stock analysis. Checking on some basic levels for K2 Global Equities (KII.AX), the 50-day Moving Average is currently 2.50, the 200-day Moving Average is 2.41, and the 7-day is standing at 2.56. Moving averages use a series of historical data combined with the current stock price for calculation. Traders may find value in combining multiple time periods using moving averages to help compare how the equity is faring on a long-term and short-term basis. Many investors may use MA's as a way to develop support and resistance levels in order to spot specific trade entries and exits.
Traders may also be paying close attention to RSI levels on shares of K2 Global Equities (KII.AX). The current 14-day RSI is presently sitting at 56.61, the 7-day is 52.34, and the 3-day is 44.43. The RSI, or Relative Strength Index is a popular oscillating indicator among traders and investors. The RSI operates in a range-bound area with values between 0 and 100. When the RSI line moves up, the stock may be experiencing strength. The opposite is the case when the RSI line is heading lower. Different time periods may be used when using the RSI indicator. The RSI may be more volatile using a shorter period of time. Many traders keep an eye on the 30 and 70 marks on the RSI scale. A move above 70 is widely considered to show the stock as overbought, and a move below 30 would indicate that the stock may be oversold. Traders may use these levels to help identify stock price reversals.
When completing stock analysis, investors and traders may opt to review other technical levels. K2 Global Equities (KII.AX) currently has a 14-day Commodity Channel Index (CCI) of -2.51. Investors and traders may use this indicator to help spot price reversals, price extremes, and the strength of a trend. Many investors will use the CCI in conjunction with other indicators when evaluating a trade. The CCI may be used to spot if a stock is entering overbought (+100) and oversold (-100) territory. The Average Directional Index or ADX is often considered to be an important tool for technical trading or investing. The ADX is a technical indicator developed by J. Welles Wilder used to determine the strength of a trend. The ADX is often used along with the Plus Directional Indicator (+DI) and Minus Directional Indicator (-DI) to identify the direction of the trend. Presently, the 14-day ADX is resting at 44.29.
Generally speaking, an ADX value from 0-25 would indicate an absent or weak trend. A value of 25-50 would indicate a strong trend. A value of 50-75 would signal a very strong trend, and a value of 75-100 would indicate an extremely strong trend.

Kodo supports both datastore and application JDO identity types, including single field identity. See Section 4.5, "JDO Identity" in the JDO Overview for coverage of the JDO identity types.
The JPA specification requires you to declare one or more identity fields in your persistent classes, as with JDO's application identity type. Kodo fully supports application identity for JPA entities; however, Kodo also allows you to use datastore identity in your entities. To use datastore identity, simply do not declare any primary key fields. Kodo will use a surrogate database key to track the identity of your objects.
You can control how your JPA datastore identity value is generated
through Kodo's
org.apache.openjpa.persistence.DataStoreId class
annotation. This annotation has
strategy and
generator properties that mirror the same-named
properties on the standard
annotation described in
Section 5.2.2, "Id" of the JPA Overview.
The functionality of Kodo's
annotation is also analogous to JDO's standard
datastore-identity mapping element, described in
Section 15.5, "Datastore Identity" of the JDO Overview.
To retrieve the identity value of a datastore identity entity, use the
OpenJPAEntityManager.getObjectId (Object entity)
method. See
Section 9.2.2, "OpenJPAEntityManager"
for more information on the
Example 5.4. JPA Datastore Identity Metadata
import org.apache.openjpa.persistence.*; @Entity @DataStoreId public class LineItem { ... no @Id fields declared ... }
Internally, Kodo uses the public
kodo.util.Id class for datastore identity objects. When
writing Kodo plugins, you can manipulate datastore identity objects
by casting them to this class. You can also create your own
Id instances and pass them to any internal
Kodo method that expects an identity object.
In JPA, you will never see
Id instances
directly. Instead, calling
on a datastore identity object will return the
Long surrogate primary key value for that
object. You can then use this value in calls to
EntityManager.find for subsequent lookups
of the same record.
In JDO, calling
JDOHelper.getObjectId or
PersistenceManager.getObjectId on a
persistent object with datastore identity will return an
Id instance. Remember, however, that datastore
identity in JDO is meant to be opaque; if you find yourself having
to use the
Id class often, it may be a sign
that you should be using application identity.
You can also use any
Number in Kodo JDO to
represent a datastore identity primary key value. The
PersistenceManager.newObjectIdInstance(Class, Object)
method will return an
Id instance when
passed a datastore identity persistent class and a
Number representing a primary key value.
And the
PersistenceManager.getObjectById(Class, Object)
method allows you to look up a datastore identity
instance given its class and
Number primary
key. The JDO specification intended these methods for single field
identity key values, but in Kodo they work for datastore
identity values as well.
If you choose to use application identity, you may want to take advantage of Kodo JPA/JDO's application identity tool. The application identity tool generates Java code implementing the identity class for any persistent type using application identity. The code satisfies all the requirements the specification places on identity classes. You can use it as-is, or simply use it as a starting point, editing it to meet your needs.
Before you can run the application identity tool on a persistent class, the class must be compiled and must have complete metadata. All primary key fields must be marked as such in the metadata.
In JPA metadata, do not attempt to specify the
@IdClass annotation unless you are using the
application identity tool to overwrite an existing identity class.
Attempting to set the value of the
@IdClass to
a non-existent class will prevent your persistent class from
compiling. Instead, use the
-name or
-suffix options described below to tell Kodo
what name to give your generated identity class. Once the
application identity tool has generated the class code, you can
set the
@IdClass annotation.
In JDO metadata, set the class'
attribute to the desired name of the generated object identity
The application identity tool can be invoked via the included
appidtool shell/bat script or via its Java class,
Section 14.1.3, "Application Identity Tool Ant Task" describes the application identity tool's Ant task.
Example 5.5. Using the Application Identity Tool
appidtool -s Id Magazine.java
appidtool package.jdo
The application identity tool accepts the standard set of command-line arguments defined by the configuration framework (see Section 2.3, "Command Line Configuration"), including code formatting flags described in Section 2.3.1, "Code Formatting". It also accepts the following arguments:
-directory/-d <output directory>:
Path to the output directory. If the directory does not
match the generated oid class' package, the package
structure will be created beneath the directory. If not
specified, the tool will first try to find the directory of
.java file for the
persistence-capable class, and failing that will use the
current directory.
-ignoreErrors/-i <true/t | false/f>
: If
false, an exception will
be thrown if the tool is run on any class that does not
use application identity, or is not the base class in the
inheritance hierarchy (recall that subclasses never define
the application identity class; they inherit it from their
persistent superclass).
-token/-t <token>: The token
to use to separate stringified primary key values in the
string form of the object id. This option is only used
if you have multiple primary key fields. It defaults to
-name/-n <id class name>: The name
of the identity class to generate. If this option is
specified, you must run the tool on exactly one class.
If the class metadata already names an object id class,
this option is ignored. If the name is not fully qualified,
the persistent class' package is prepended to form the
qualified name.
-suffix/-s <id class suffix>: A
string to suffix each persistent class name with to form
the identity class name. This option is overridden by
-name or by any object id class specified
in metadata.
Each additional argument to the tool must be one of the following:
The full name of a persistent class.
The .java file for a persistent class.
.class file of a persistent class.
.jdo metadata file. The tool will
run on each class listed in the metadata.
If you do not supply any arguments to the tool, it will act on the classes in your persistent classes list (see Section 5.1, "Persistent Class List").
If you do not have a persistent classes list, the tool will scan
your classpath for directories containing
files, and run on all classes listed in those files.
Section 5.2.3, "Generated Value" explains how to use JPA's
IDENTITY generation type.
Section 15.5, "Datastore Identity" and
Section 15.11.3, "Automatic Values" of the JDO
Overview explain how to use JDO's
identity strategies for datastore identity
and field values. However, here are some additional
caveats you should be aware of when using these strategies:
Your database must support auto-increment / identity columns, or some equivalent (see Section 4.4.3, "OracleDictionary Properties" for how to configure a combination of triggers and sequences to fake auto-increment support in Oracle).
Auto-increment / identity columns must be an integer or long integer type.
Databases support auto-increment / identity columns to varying degrees. Some do not support them at all. Others only allow a single such column per table, and require that it be the primary key column. More lenient databases may allow non-primary key auto-increment columns, and may allow more than one per table. See your database documentation for details.
Statements inserting into tables with auto-increment / identity columns cannot be batched. After each insert, Kodo must go back to the database to retrieve the last inserted auto-increment value to set back in the persistent object. This can have a negative impact on performance.

Ashton Kutcher may be one of the stars of "Valentine's Day" and deeply committed to his beautiful wife Demi Moore, but he has no love for the actual holiday.
"I hate Valentine's Day. I can't stand it," the actor told Parade.
But Ashton doesn't hate it because he's anti-romantic. In fact, Ashton thinks one's love should be shown all year round.
"I think that every day should be a day of romance. I think you should celebrate love 364 days out of the year. Then, on Valentine's Day, you should get to tell whoever you hate that you cannot stand them. There would be one day of hating, and 364 days of love," he said, presumably joking.
While he doesn't like the idea of the day, Valentine's Day itself has always been pleasant for the former model.
"We don't really have bad Valentine's Days. The thing is, guys have pretty much zero expectations, and when you don't have any expectations, you can't really be disappointed," he said. "So I don't think I've ever had like a bad Valentine's Day."
Although he did admit that he once left the planning too late once when going out with his wife, her ex, Bruce Willis, and Bruce's wife Emma Hemming.
"Demi and I decided that we were going to spend Valentine's Day with Bruce and Emma. So it was me, Demi, Bruce and Emma, which is great because we're all best friends and we all hang out. I got to be in charge of booking the restaurant. It was February 14 and we weren't in Hollywood, where I have a little clout making reservations," he explained. "So I'm like calling around, trying to pull any kind of juice that I can to get a table. But, I hate dropping my own name, so I'm like, 'Yes, I'm calling from Mr. Kutcher's office, he would like a reservation.' And literally every place was booked and so we ended up sitting at the bar some place."
The star previously told Access Hollywood that this year, he and Demi would be celebrating the day with a charity effort.
"Demi and I have agreed that instead of doing the big thing for each other, we are going to celebrate by sharing our love with other people," he said. "We launched our foundation, the DNA Foundation, on Monday to help trafficking victims — we have this group in New York, GEMS Girls… who don't have someone to be their Valentine this year. So Demi and I are going to send flowers to all of these girls, as many as we can, and make them our Valentines."

TWILIGHT CITY — Where Snapshots are Born (Feb, 1936)
Very interesting article about how film and photographic paper is made:
"The story behind the actual film-making begins in a huge vault where five tons of bar silver —a week's supply of the precious metal— may be stored for almost immediate consumption."
That's a lot of silver, and this was only 1936!
TWILIGHT CITY — Where Snapshots are Born
"It's easy to take a snapshot," as 500,000,000 pictures a year will testify. But behind the click of the lens there lies a story of high speed chemistry fascinating in its scope.
The early amateur photographer carried a bulky apparatus in a portable, tent-shaped darkroom into which he plunged for a freshly-sensitized glass plate every time he wished to take a picture. Today's amateur, exposing some 500,000,000 snapshots yearly, has at his command a vast array of lightning-speed emulsions in convenient sizes and shapes, which are ready for instant use.
Let's drop in at Eastman's "twilight city" at Rochester, New York, the largest film manufacturing plant in the world, and discover how recent advances in science and mechanics have made this possible.
At Kodak Park more than four score buildings, covering 400 acres, carry on this large scale production. Six miles of paved streets run through the Park, and these streets are sprinkled constantly to eliminate the dust menace which will ruin freshly coated films and sensitized paper. So important is this fight against dust that full-time crews are employed to keep floors spotlessly clean with scrubbing and floor-waxing machines. Giant chimneys, rising over 360 feet into the air, carry away the fumes and dust from the 700 tons of coal consumed daily for power, refrigeration and heating. Sparkless and smokeless locomotives, charged with steam every couple of hours, operate over 15 miles of rails within the grounds. A 5,000,000-gallon reservoir supplies the 15,000,000 gallons of water required each day the gigantic plant is in operation.
The story behind the actual film-making begins in a huge vault where five tons of bar silver —a week's supply of the precious metal— may be stored for almost immediate consumption. These bars are sampled and scientific experts test it for impurities. Even the slightest amount of iron or copper found in the bullion may disrupt the entire production schedule if permitted to pass undetected.
Approximately 50 bars are dissolved in nitric acid each day for manufacturing use. The resulting fluid—silver nitrate solution— flows through tubing into the evaporating room where it is guided into evaporating bowls mounted atop steam-heated tables.
Water being driven from the solution by the intense heat, the silver nitrate begins to crystallize as the solution cools. Distilled water is then poured over the crystals and evaporation is repeated until all impurities are removed. The brittle, flaky crystals are next subjected to drying processes.
The cotton fields contribute their share in the manufacture of the film support or "base," for cotton treated with nitric and sulphuric acid until it becomes soluble in solvents such as wood alcohol is an important ingredient. About 80 tons of cotton are used a week in the manufacture of film base.
After samples are tested, the cotton is weighed and then dumped into the nitrating machines. To prevent possible contact with metal, the nitrated cotton, immersed in water, must pass only through tile pipes. After every trace of acid is removed by thorough washing, the nitrated cotton is dissolved in proper solvents in large mechanical mixers. Finally, the fluid is forced through filter presses.
This syrup-like "dope" is fed onto the highly polished rim surface of enormous wheels in a battery of glass-enclosed machines. Heated air drives off the solvents as the thin transparent layer travels through the machine. Cellulose nitrate is finally reeled off like newsprint paper in flawless, endless sheets. Workmen watch the entire process through the strong plate glass windows. These complicated machines, almost human in operation, run continuously, day after day, without stopping.

In this student video by Sven Kalim, a group of Cornell students build what may be the largest temporary art work in Ithaca's history. The ephemeral installation, unveiled on May 11, 2008 was titled Turfwork!
The flower-like design covered more than an acre and was intended to be viewed from the air. Marcia Eames-Sheavly, Senior Extension Associate in Cornell University's Department of Horticulture, along with artist Jeff de Castro, guided the students through a rigorous semester-long creative process that led to the design and installation of the piece. They "painted" their design into the grass using mulch, straw and black plastic to temporarily turn the grass yellow in places.
The work was made possible by grant from Cornell Council for the Arts.

Elizabeth Williams and Haley Peters each matched their career high with 25 points apiece as No. 5 Duke took a big early lead against overmatched Virginia Tech and cruised to its seventh straight victory, 77-33.
The Blue Devils (23-1, 13-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) forced 18 first-half turnovers and led 40-14 at the intermission on their way to their 29th consecutive road victory against an unranked opponent.
The loss Thursday night was the 11th in 12 games for Virginia Tech (8-16, 2-11) and its second lopsided setback against the Blue Devils this season. Duke won 58-26 just over a month ago in Durham, N.C.
Alyssa Fenyn led Virginia Tech with seven points and Lauren Evans had six.
The game got out of hand almost immediately.
Peters, who was scoreless in the Blue Devils' 15-point victory against No. 7 Maryland on Monday night, made the first of her four 3-pointers 13 seconds into the game. She added a jumper and another 3-pointer with the game barely 2 minutes old, an 8-0 run. After Laura Evans' baseline 10-footer for the Hokies, Alexis Jones scored on a drive for Duke and Williams scored the next four points to make it 14-2 after 4:05.
The Hokies pulled within 21-9 on Fenyn's desperate, one-footed heave to barely beat the shot clock with 12:18 to go in the half, then managed just two field goals to rest of the way as they committed 12 of their 18 first-half turnovers. Duke's 19-5 burst to end the half made it academic at 40-14.
Just for good measure, Williams scored the first six points of the second half, sparking a 16-7 run, and it wasn't until 15 minutes remained the Hokies' point total exceeded their turnovers.
Despite the huge advantage, Duke coach Joanne P. McCallie substituted freely in the second half, but didn't remove her starters for good until less than 5 minutes remained, drawing the ire of Hokies fans.
Until Fenyn's 3-pointer 1:37 before halftime, Williams (14) and Peters (13) were both outscoring the Hokies, who shot just 33 percent (6 of 18) even though Fenyn was 3 for 3.
Virginia Tech finished 15 of 54 from the field (27.8 percent) and had 23 turnovers.
Duke shot 46.3 percent (25 of 54) with 10 steals and six blocks.

How To Evaluate Your Customer Service Phone Team
Every business leader should periodically call his/her company to observe how their customers are being treated by their employees -- because, all too often a phone conversation becomes a customer turnoff rather than a relationship builder.
So, here's a checklist that is primarily from sales expert and author Paul R. Timm that you can use to evaluate your organization's customer service via the phone:
1. Was the phone answered after two rings or less?
2. Did the employee use an appropriate greeting?
3. Did the employee identify himself or herself by name?
4. Was the employee's tone of voice pleasant and businesslike?
5. Was the call handled efficiently without being abrupt?
6. Did the employee provide accurate information or refer the caller to an appropriate person?
7. Did the employee reflect the best image for the company?
8. Did the employee thank the caller?
9. Did the employee make prudent use of putting the caller on hold if it was necessary to do so?
10. Did the employee use friendly and tactful words?
11. Did the employee accuse the customer of anything?
12. Did the employee fumble when transferring the call if making a transfer was necessary?
13. Was there distracting background noise on the employee's end during the call?

You have your grocery list. You have your "to-do" list. You even have a post-it note stuck to your steering wheel in your car reminding you to get your oil changed. We write things down to help us remember when life gets busy. And when it comes to your health, there seem to be about a million things to remember. So why don't you have a checklist dedicated to the care and keeping of you?
Take this checklist [PDF, 101 KB] to your doctor or other health care provider to find out what preventive services are right for you. This comprehensive check-list spells out the Medicare covered preventive services and allows you to keep track of when you received a particular test, screening, or service, as well as when you are due for your next one. Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, these preventive services ranging from mammograms and flu shots to a yearly "wellness" visit, are offered free of charge to patients covered by Medicare.
Be sure to visit MyMedicare.gov to continue tracking your preventive services. You can get a two-year calendar of the Medicare-covered tests and screenings you're eligible for. You can even print a personalized report to take with you to your next doctor's appointment.
To help spread the word about Medicare's preventive benefits, we just launched the Share the News, Share the Health campaign. Help us spread the word by telling your friends and family with Medicare about the difference these preventive benefits can make.
So don't forget to pick up your milk and bread at the grocery store, and build time in to your busy schedule to get your oil changed. But also make sure you have your preventive services checklist updated and ready for your next doctor's appointment. That way, you will know the right questions to ask your doctor to guarantee you are receiving the preventive services you need.

Dish has asked the US regulator for more time to oppose Softbank's takeover of Sprint. Meanwhile it's stacking up the cash to fund its own network plans - which remain shrouded in mystery.
Japan's Softbank wants to buy Sprint, for $20bn or so, and Sprint wants to spend $2.2bn of that to buy out Clearwire, giving the resulting company 185MHz of US spectrum, compared to AT&T's 83MHz, Verizon's 77MHz and Dish's 40MHz of just-refarmed bandwidth into which it hopes to deploy a mobile-phone network. Dish has asked the FCC for three weeks more so it can file its petitions against the Softbank deal.
Just before Christmas, Dish Networks issued $1.5bn in promissory notes, giving it a big chunk of cash it now needs to spend on something useful to bring in the New Year. But building a national network is really expensive - estimates can hit $40bn and even LightSquared's box-of-frogs plan would have cost $7bn, so there's no little chance of Dish building a network without significant partnerships.
According to the company, the money was raised "for general corporate purposes, which may include spectrum-related strategic transactions", and Bloomberg notes that it follows a $2bn bond issue in September which is now trading at $1.11 on the dollar, so whatever the plan is the markets seem happy to support it.
Dish has permission to deploy mobile telephones in the spectrum it owns, which was formerly restricted to satellite use. The same permission was given to LightSquared, only to be whipped away again when the GPS industry got upset but that won't happen to Dish whose frequencies only neighbour a band which features in Sprint's acquisition plans.
Satellite watcher Tim Farrar reckons the money would let Dish bid for that block instead, allowing it to do a deal with LightSquared to switch round uplink and downlink bands and the frequencies LightSquared owns which are far enough from the GPS bands to avoid interference issues. The LightSquared business model is in tatters these days, so it will be keen to realise any value it can, though one technicality remains.
As Sam Churchill over at Daily Wireless reminds us, both Dish and LightSquared own flying satellites, designed to provide satellite telephony across America and currently operating fine. Those birds fulfil the licence requirements, even if satellite telephony has proved economically impossible. However, neither of them can change frequencies so if the deal proposed by Farrar happens they'll be billion-dollar white elephants.
The alternative is to sell the newly valuable spectrum, probably to AT&T, perhaps spending this cash to increase the portfolio with cast-offs when LightSquared finally hits the ground in the next few months. Whatever decision Dish reaches, it puts one's concerns about how to spend £20 in WH Smiths tokens into perspective. ®

Erectile dysfunction is a frequent adverse event after radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer.
It is the consequence of penile vascular damage, mainly arterial insufficiency and venous leakage associated with fibrosis of the corpus cavernous. Apoptosis of penile cells, including mesenchymal cells, smooth muscle cells and endothelial is believed to play an important role in the pathophysiology of post prostatectomy erectile dysfunction.
Bone marrow mononucleated cells (BMMNC) contain different cell types that may replace the damaged penile cells after radical prostatectomy. These are mainly: mesenchymal stem cells, endothelial progenitor cells and hematopoietic stem cell. Intracavernous injection of BMMNC may therefore find application in the treatment of post prostatectomy erectile dysfunction.
The aims of this phase I-II study is to test the safety of autologous intracavernous BMMNC injection and to evaluate benefit for the patient concerning recovery of natural erection. Patients with penile vascular abnormality (echo-doppler) and localized prostate cancer (considered as cured by radical prostatectomy) will be included in this study.
Four different doses of BMMNC will be tested.

This series of write-ups celebrates the Lenovo Forum's family of volunteer advocates - moderators, gurus and outstanding members of the Forum, who consistently go out of their way to help out in this community through sharing what they know, dissecting, delving and diving into various issues to educate other users and solve one another's problems. We salute and honor your dedication and hard work!
Notice anything different recently about zoltanthegypsy's handle? What about community user PeterTWJ's, which now sports a different hue? You've probably guessed it – yes, there have been some additions to our Forum's Advocate group! Zoltanthegypsy, or Bill (as he prefers to be called), has now moved to become one of the core people who help keep our Community clean, informative, and what it is today - our moderators, whilst PeterTWJ, or Peter Tan, is now a guru, one of our recognized and valued tech experts.
Serene: Welcome to the family, Peter, and congrats, William, on being made moderator recently. So tell us – how did you two discover the Lenovo Community in the first place? Bill: I showed up in 2008 with a couple of technical issues and an attitude. The tech issues got sorted out thanks to the good folks on the boards. I still have the attitude... (Serene: Really? We really don't think so!) My first interaction with a forum moderator was JaneL scolding me - entirely appropriately - for language :) It was a "mild oath" that wouldn't have been noticed most other places... I think it was my 2nd post :(
I actually thought the community was rather more technical, and more "reserved", than some of the other wild-and-woolly boards I had visited. And these are both good things. I came to realize pretty quickly along with the more-formal approach (compared to other sites) that it was also a very friendly place. And the atmosphere is even more so on the Guru and Mod boards. There's always someone quick to lend a hand.
Peter: For me, I discovered the Lenovo Forums through the Lenovo Support Website as I also some issues with my machine (a W510 I got from school), and I posted in the forums for a solution. Over time, I realized that the staff, moderators and gurus are in general a very friendly bunch (who have gotten even friendlier after having known them over the past few months.) Serene: Now for the big question – tell us a bit about yourself – what do you actually do in real life?
Bill: I graduated from the University of Washington in 1971 with a degree in electrical engineering. Prior to that, in 1968 I landed a job helping with drafting and technical writing – and I ended up taking over the engineering department. I also did hardware designing of ad-hoc projects for several years, dealing with customized interfaces for different systems including flight simulators and mini – computers, before branching out to projects such as interfaces for workstations and PCs and networked-based products.
I guess I deal primarily with hardware design and device driver writing - in recent years most of my work has been for Unix - Linux and Solaris primarily compared to IRIX and HP-UX in the past. I work in a small business so I also do testing and support. I'm also interested in getting into the nuts-and-bolts stuff, such as multi-booting laptops and desktops back when that was hard to do, and also getting Windows, Linux, and Solaris to play nice (more or less) with one another. When that got relatively easy to do, I moved on to multi-booting flash drives, Live Linux, Windows Installers and repair tools, and utilities for recovery and forensics. And all of which is done a lot easier now than back in the day. I actually have a website of my own chronicling my multi-boot struggles but I also maintain a more current blog here.
Peter: In real life, I am a student majoring in Network Security Technology and the course I am taking is about managing networks, servers and storage systems with security in mind. Outside of school I spend time with different groups of friends with all sorts of interests – I like getting to know people so that I can expand my circle of friends and also gain more knowledge. I would be graduating from school this March and will then lose my full head of hair as I will be enlisted into the army for two years. This period of time will be very important for me as I will be seriously considering what I want to study and plan for my future. But no worries – while I serve my nation, I will still be here contributing as well!
Serene: Bill, you were a guru like Peter. What was your experience like so far, and Peter, how have things been for you?
Bill: The guru "promotion" was excellent. It gave me access to some really smart and capable people, and some behind-the-scenes technical resources. Kudos to everyone, but a special shout-out to andyP and topmahof (two of our community moderators) for their help. I'm still getting my sea-legs. It's a real difference going from tech geek to "net nanny". In my user and guru days, I pretty much kept to the boards where I might have had some direct experience (ThinkPads, Windows, and Linux mostly). Now that I have authority to nuke spammers, I roam all of the boards.
Peter: I was initially quite surprised when I was first approached – I love helping people in the first place, which is why I started talking to the community members and helping out with the questions that are posted in the forums. I totally didn't expect to be identified for this, and I am very excited about it. I feel that I can reach out to more people in a better way when becoming a guru. At first, I was not used to my ID becoming green and having that extra Guru logo on my handle. I'm still going to be myself – I seriously enjoy spending time helping around and hey – I get to learn stuff too as well.

We need a branding identity for our brand new little company, Leftfield Interactive. We have very few preconceived ideas so go hard and lets see what you all come up with. We are looking for something cool and attention grabbing
Leftfield Interactive
My new little company is growing fast and I need a branding identity for it. I'm not a designer or developer, I do strategy. I love seeing great innovative design and appreciate the work designers do. I'll give feedback and let you do the rest. I don't have anything I'm expecting to see – I'm an open book so show me something cool.
What Leftfield Interactive does:
We are a comprehensive online communication company; that means we do everything from online strategy development through to design and development of the finished products. We believe the promotion of your online offerings is just as important as the actual site and the content on it. Everything should inform and persuade visitors in some way. Mostly we work with organisations to make the most of the online communication channel and integrate it properly with their other promotional plans.
Leftfield Interactive brand values:
- Excellence
- Flexibility
- UnderstandingHow Leftfield Interactive wants to be seen:
I want to be seen as a business that is there to help others achieve their goals. When people think of Leftfield Interactive I want them to say, "Those guys are great, they always give honest advice and they can work with anything. They ask great questions and really try and understand what we need. They are always good to give a call and bounce ideas off". I want to be known as the guys who help others.
- I want the business name 'Leftfield Interactive" to be used either as words next to an icon, or as the icon its self
- It would be good if the logo could work as a favicon or have a version that might work as a favicon but not essential
- Leftfield is all one word
- the 'f' in Leftfield is not capitalised at the moment but it could be

Meret Oppenheim
Meret Oppenheim: Tender Friendships on view April 26–September 14, 2014.
Surrealist artist Meret Oppenheim (1913–1985) is best known for the fur-lined teacup and saucer she made in 1936, but it represents just one facet of her provocative work. During her prolific career, she created sculpture, paintings, and drawings that explored themes of sensuality and desire, friendship and love, nature and culture, and reality and imagination.
This exhibition explores friendship as a source of inspiration and support. Inspired by the friendship between two 18th-century poets, Bettine Brentano and Karoline von Günderode, Oppenheim created paintings, prints, and poems dedicated to the two women, some of which are featured in the exhibition.
Many of the works on view are part of a recent donation to NMWA made by Vassar College art librarian Thomas Hill in honor of his friendship with late librarian of the Walker Art Center Rosemary Furtak. Tender Friendships includes Oppenheim's witty Table with Bird's Feet (1973), her Schoolgirl's Notebook (1973), prints, photographs, and letters from the artist.
Oppenheim worked in many styles and mediums, including poetry and illustration, as depicted in the artist's books Sansibar (1981) and Caroline (1985)—both of which are showcased in the exhibition.

What the hell is wrong with us? How do I know what the black and white thing is? Regardless of the physics and science behind it, I believe the recognition we instantly experience in these pixelated images can tell us a great deal about brand recognition. The mind can be instantly attracted or turned of by an image no matter how blurred or obscured it may be. Familiarity with worldwide brands is inescapable and must be quality must be assured by these brands on a massive scale.
If we see something good or bad, chances are we can tell what it is within seconds. And opinions can be made almost faster. So no matter the medium, no matter the distance, brands must be concise, responsible, and flawless in their exposure.

Greeley feed store owner not giving up after fire (VIDEO)
How to help
Check in for up-dates and how you can help T & J Country Feeds by visiting their Facebook page.
Although Teri Segelke said her mind was exhausted after witnessing her business catch fire in a matter of minutes, she jumped on a forklift on Saturday morning and focused on moving hundreds of undamaged plastic bags of animal feed outside.
The owner of J & T Country Feeds, 6380 10th St., directed friends and family to move the undamaged inventory out from the building that needed to be emptied for repair. She said her only goal at the moment was to restore her business.
"Yesterday was surreal," Segelke said about Friday morning, when she headed to her store and noticed smoke in the area. "Today is about cleaning the mess and getting back up."
About 15 friends, family, and community members stopped at the store to aid Teri and her husband Russ Segelke the morning after flames tore through parts of the wall and ceiling of the 800-square-foot unit.
Greeley Fire Department Lt. Kevin Maloney said the fire was caused by a faulty installation of a wood burning stove inside the store. The damage estimate is undetermined.
The fire caused direct flame damage to part of the structure and smoke and water damage to the content inside. Maloney said the fire was contained within 15 minutes of the crew's arrival, and it took three hours to clean-up and investigate.
"The Greeley Fire Department took quick action in containing the fire. The building structure is fairly large and there are other businesses attached to it that were not affected," Maloney said.
Madison Cushman and her mother Marsha Cushman of Kersey have known the Segelke family for more than a year, through Weld County 4-H — an educational program for rural youth. As regular customers of the feed store they developed a friendship with Segelke. They said it is important to support her and her family as they overcome this obstacle.
"We want her to know she will not go through this alone, we are here for emotional and financial support," Madison said. The 15-year-old Platte Valley High School student said she plans to start a fundraiser at school on Monday.
Many people who had no relationship with the family visited the damaged store to show support and motivate the family. Some provided them with food, gift cards and consolation.
Segelke said the best way the community can help her is to keep purchasing her supply.
"Just keep me busy, keep my business open," she told a woman who asked if there was anything she could do to help. Segelke is offering the damaged but not destroyed products at a discounted price, while the rest will go into a storage pod. She said for now she plans to keep selling.
She walked from one place to another, looking for undamaged supply and greeting anyone who approached her with a hug and a thank you for showing up to support.
"I am touched to see others whom I've never met come out and help," Segelke said.

MANIAC Challenge to stimulate student experimentation in wireless networking
April 4, 2006
Two Virginia Tech electrical and computer engineering (ECE) faculty are developing the MANIAC Challenge.
ECE professors Luiz DaSilva and Allen MacKenzie recently received a $450,000, three-year grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Networking Technology and Systems (NeTS) program to develop a contest called the Mobile Ad Hoc Networking Interoperability And Cooperation (MANIAC) Challenge.
"There is currently no such competition in the wireless networking field," said DaSilva. "We were inspired by open competitions in the areas of robotics, software engineering, and automotive design that are successful in energizing students to perform hands-on work while advancing the state of research."
"These competitions are very motivating, not to mention fun. Also, failure often teaches us more than success, and implementation is always more convincing than simulation," DaSilva said. The kind of informal exchange of ideas that occurs naturally in a competition like this tends to move research forward in unexpected ways."
With the advent of wireless ad hoc networks, some of the toughest issues in communications networking are questions of cooperation: Will users trade off bandwidth, signal strength, or speed to ensure system effectiveness? If so, how? What are the incentives that will get users to provide services (such as routing) to other nodes?
DaSilva and MacKenzie hope to get answers through this wireless networking contest they are developing. It will further networking techniques and algorithms, and provide one-of-a-kind opportunities to study actual, uncontrolled, ad hoc networks, where users make their own decisions regarding tradeoffs between self-interest and common network goals.
The competition will be held for two consecutive years, 2007 and 2008, in conjunction with a major networking conference, yet to be announced. The entries will be judged on end-to-end performance, energy efficiency, and engineering design.
Teams competing in the MANIAC Challenge will match their algorithmic prowess in sending data across uncontrolled, ad hoc networks, where users employ different hardware and software. They will be judged on speed and efficiency. The 2007 competition will entail a video and data relay race in which all the teams are on the mobile ad hoc network (MANET), but no team will be able to have their traffic delivered without cooperation from others.
The software developed at Virginia Tech will also monitor node behavior and system effectiveness, giving researchers a goldmine of data on actual ad hoc network behavior in a field dominated by simulation and controlled testbed research. "There has recently been some soul searching by the networking community regarding the prevailing use of simulation as the main research methodology," explained MacKenzie. "Questions linger about how well MANETS will work in the wild -- outside of tightly controlled lab environments or military deployments. Are simulation results reported in the literature too optimistic about performance that can be achieved in these networks? This competition will provide researchers with a unique opportunity to study real-life network behavior in the wild."
In studying the MANIAC Challenge, researchers will be using the experimental method, which is more common in the natural and social sciences than in engineering. "In this sense, the experiments will be similar to some conducted in sociology and economics, where human behavior is observed in an uncontrolled environment," said MacKenzie. "Increasingly, we are seeing ties between research questions in networking and those in the world of behavioral sciences."
The two-in-one effort is aimed at meeting educational and research goals of improving network throughput, deepening understanding of overall network behavior, and motivating students in the field.
Founded in 1872 as a land-grant college, Virginia Tech has grown to become among the largest universities in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Today, Virginia Tech's eight colleges are dedicated to putting knowledge to work through teaching, research, and outreach activities and to fulfilling its vision to be among the top research universities in the nation. At its 2,600-acre main campus located in Blacksburg and other campus centers in Northern Virginia, Southwest Virginia, Hampton Roads, Richmond, and Roanoke, Virginia Tech enrolls more than 28,000 full- and part-time undergraduate and graduate students from all 50 states and more than 100 countries in 180 academic degree programs.

Road trip breathes new life into Bay Area couple
93-year-old man, wife attending every road Giants game this season
SAN FRANCISCO -- Bert and Le Anne Steinberg were in their seats at Petco Park in San Diego on the Fourth of July when a video commemorating the 75th anniversary of Lou Gehrig's farewell speech played on the scoreboard.
A big sports fan, Le Anne had heard Gehrig's "Luckiest Man on the Face of the Earth" line many times before on television. Bert, on the other hand, heard it in person.
Bert, now 93, sitting with his father that afternoon in 1939, bid adieu to his childhood hero from the Yankee Stadium bleachers.
"His retirement had been announced, so the emotions to his not being there had already transpired," Bert recalled. "Hearing my guy say thank you to everybody, I thought to myself, 'That's why I like this guy.'"
Added Le Anne: "For someone to have been there at Petco who'd heard the actual speech, that was a 'wow' moment."
Here's another: Bert and Le Anne, 56, who each became Giants fans after moving to California, are attending all 81 of San Francisco's road games this season.
The Fourth of July tilt between the Giants and Padres was game No. 38 for the couple, who have become quasi celebrities in the Bay Area. Announcers Mike Krukow and Duane Kuiper mentioned the couple's plans on an early-season road game broadcast and their "not-cheap vacation" (it will cost them between $25,000 and $40,000). They became local legends.
Bert came up with the idea for the seems-more-like-fantasy trip about five years ago, he said. The Steinbergs spent this weekend in New York, Bert's hometown, for the Giants' series against the Mets. They will then fly to Milwaukee for the Brewers series and then later this week drive to Kansas City for a series against the Royals.
It's Bert's desire to fill a void he's carried throughout his life that's leading "The 81 Couple" around the country.
The son of a grocer, Bert said he didn't have much of a childhood, growing up in Queens.
"[My father] opened the store at 6 in the morning and closed it at 10 at night; I'd come home from school and be in the store," Bert said, remembering having to pack two-pound bags of flour and sugar. "But whenever I could, I was out in the street playing ball."
A malformed hip and small stature restricted him in those neighborhood stickball games and he says he never got a hit. His teenage years were spent as the scorekeeper for his high school team.
Bert's fascination with baseball began at the age of seven, when he attended his first game and saw the 1927 Yankees in action. Though he was always the last guy picked in neighborhood games and never played on an actual diamond, Bert was in love with the sport.
He just was never the type to try to achieve something he didn't deem plausible.
"I never fell in love with Marilyn Monroe; why waste my time being in love with Marilyn Monroe?" he said, so baseball remained an obsession rather than an activity.
"I was going to be the drama critic to replace Brooks Atkinson at The New York Times," Bert said. A theater aficionado, he still has playbills from each of the 1,100-plus Broadway shows he's seen. "That was my goal. It just didn't work out that way."
His New York University journalism degree never came in handy. At 32, he became a financial planner. He had a "pretty good career" and retired in 1985. Four years later, at age 68, Bert finally recorded his first hit.
To experience playing the sport he dearly loved -- with real bats, on a real diamond -- the reformed Mets fan attended Ulti-Met Week, a fantasy camp for adults in Port St. Lucie, Fla.
"Here I am, 68 years old," said Bert, who wore No. 4 in honor of Gehrig. "I couldn't reach the plate from the mound and I had never batted before."
The camp's 120 participants were drafted onto 10 teams. The oldest camper, Bert was the last player selected by Clint Hurdle's team. Now the Pirates' manager, Hurdle was then managing the Mets' Class A team and ran the camp. In the second inning of the camp's final game, Bert roped a single over second base.
"I turned to Clint and I said, 'You son of a gun, you just cost me $3,500,'" Bert said with a smile. "'All week long, you've been coaching me. I've never hit the ball, really. Now I've got a clean single, so I've got to come back next year.'"
Despite having moved from New York to the Bay Area, the 1989 camp's "Most Outstanding Mets Fan" award winner made the cross-country trek again in 1990. He still has a few copies of the personalized trading cards that were printed for each camper, and the plaque for his fan award still hangs in his San Francisco condo.
"When you got like a 70-year-old-man doing that, it sticks with you," Hurdle said. "He wasn't very good, but he was a very unique individual. You need characters, and he was a character. He was engaged, had a lot of fun and took advantage of every moment. He spent his $3,500 wisely."
Bert's on-field decisions weren't as sound, like when he bunted with a full count, thus earning himself a brown rope, the dubious award given for the worst play of the day.
"I was catching them by surprise -- who would've expected me to bunt now?" Bert said. "Unfortunately, it wasn't a fair bunt, so I was out. That was the stupidest play I could do."
"It didn't surprise me at all that he won the rope," Hurdle quipped.
Hurdle was caught off-guard when told of Bert's current journey, a voyage that Le Anne made possible.
Bert's first wife died after 56 years of marriage. He then had a relationship with her best friend, Lucie, for 16 years. When Alzheimer's forced Lucie to enter permanent care five years ago, Bert, depressed and lonely, came up with the idea of going to every Giants road game in a season to get a taste of the daily grind baseball players go through. But he had nobody to accompany him, so the idea remained just that: an idea.
"It's depressing to see somebody you love fade out in front of your eyes. I was worried about him," Bert's only child, David, said. "Older people, their partner dies and within a year, the other one dies. I was beginning to think that could happen to my dad."
And then along came Le Anne.
"The next thing I know," David said, "he's all bright and shiny again."
Bert met Le Anne on a cruise two summers ago. Their political ideologies and opinions of Barry Bonds are as contrasting as their ages, but they found a common thread in their obsession with sports, particularly baseball. Le Anne ran a business collecting and selling sports memorabilia. She said she'd never dated anyone more than five years away from her age, but, thanks in large part to their mutual admiration for baseball, the two fell in love and married last December.
By January, plans for the season on the road ("81 For 93," they call it) had been made. Bert was hesitant to commit, wary of his age. After all, the Rabbi had to break the glass at their Jewish wedding after Bert's step wasn't strong enough. His attempts to bust a pinata with a cane at his 93rd birthday party proved futile, too.
"I said, 'What do we have to lose? Let's book the first two trips and see how you do,'" Le Anne said.
The first two trips went seamlessly, so they continued. Aside from troublesome hips he had replaced 38 years ago and declining hearing, Bert is healthy -- so healthy that a doctor predicted during the All-Star break that Bert could live another decade.
"I did all of the wrong things: I never watched my diet, I never exercised regularly all my life, and I'm an anti-vegetarian," Bert said. His best guess at the key to such good health was that always being set financially spared him stress.
Added Le Anne: "Bert doesn't really care what he eats."
No food (thus far) on the trip has topped Primanti Brothers sandwiches in Pittsburgh, though Bert and Le Anne said they could do without eating Rocky Mountain oysters again.
They have no intentions for a sequel to the trip, either.
"No way," Bert said. "I try to nap in the afternoon, but it's tiring. When she says she's tired, that's when I know it's hard."
His unmistakable, pin-laden Giants cap -- "I stopped counting after 40 pins," he said -- has complicated trips to the restroom, since the television exposure has led to Bert experiencing an unexpected facet of Major League life: autograph seekers.
But however taxing the trip has been, it's proven to be rewarding.
Whether it be the Braves usher who explained how baseball united her with her future husband, or the Giants fan from Kansas City who's offered to buy them barbecue while in town, or Le Anne's father, who gets his daily exercise by dancing every time the Giants score a run, the Steinbergs have been amazed at the impact a game can have.
The Giants clubhouse has taken notice of the couple, and they're just as astounded by the power their sport can wield.
"It shows you how deep this game runs for people," reliever Jeremy Affeldt said. "We all get to play as a kid. He didn't, but he still loves it and has loved it so long through his life that he still wants to travel to different stadiums. It shows you what this game means to people."
Like the 14-year-old boy the Steinbergs met during a Giants series at Coors Field in Denver.
He and Le Anne were both trying to snag home runs during batting practice, which was a more successful endeavor for the youngster. Eventually, Le Anne gave up and rejoined Bert at their seats. A few minutes later, the kid found them.
He'd felt bad for Le Anne, so he decided to give her a ball. His youthfulness reminded Bert of a 79-years-younger version of himself, and the two started talking ball. Bert eventually showed the kid one of his Ulti-Met Week trading cards.
Delighted that he thought he'd just met a professional ballplayer, the kid asked Bert to autograph his glove.
Said Bert: "I guess he thought I played for the Mets."
