Svane, Minna Selene (Frederiksberg, 1999)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This dissertation consists of five self-contained chapters on fiscal policy within a two sector endogenously growing economy. The main focus of the dissertaion is on educational and environmental issues and in particular on the optimal subsidy to education and the optimal environmental policy. The frameworks, which are used to investigate these issues, are all extensions of the Uzawa-Lucas model of endogenous growth. Chapter 1 and 2 investigate the effects of factor income taxation and subsidization of educational effort, whereas Chapter 3, 4 and 5 investigate the transitional dynamics and the long run effects of environmental policy URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7927

Parents play with their children at a kid's play area in a shopping mall in Beijing on Jan. 10.
BEIJING — China has quelled speculation its controversial "one-child" policy is to be scrapped, instead announcing Wednesday that family planning laws to curb the birth rate will remain.
"The policy should be a long-term one and its primary goal is to keep a low birthrate," Wang Xia, minister in charge of the National Population and Family Planning Commission, said.
The pronouncement comes after months of speculation that the decades-old restriction would be abandoned.
In October, a Chinese government think tank urged the policy be relaxed to allow two children for every family in the country by 2015.
"I'm surprised," said Professor Shaun Breslin, associate fellow at U.K. think tank, Chatham House. "Almost everything we had heard in recent months pointed towards a relaxation of one-child."
The 1979 law prohibits about one-third of China's 1.3 billion citizens from having a second child. The policy is officially backed up by fines, but campaigners say more than one million forced abortions are carried out every year.
It has slowed the spectacular growth of the country's population, preventing an estimated 400 million births over three decades.
In a related statement on Wednesday, the family planning commission said China's current low birthrate "is not stable because, with the exception of some developed cities, the fertility level in most of China's regions will rise if the basic state policy of family planning is abolished."
"Therefore it is necessary to stick to the basic state policy of family planning to stabilize the current low fertility level," it added.
Breslin said China's looming demographic crisis — a huge elderly population supported by a relatively tiny younger generation — highlighted social problems such as the need for greater universal healthcare.
"For most Chinese people the current system works fine if you have a sore throat, but a knee operation could use up all your savings," he said. "That means many are keen to ensure they have a male child in order to ensure there is enough income in the family."
He added that Wednesday's announcement did not mean China's new leadership was eschewing economic or social reforms. "It can take a year or two for any new leadership in China to introduce change," he said.
Professor Hu Xingdou, of the Beijing Institute of Technology, told the South China Morning Post it would be difficult for the government to abolish the one-child policy overnight.
"China still needs a family-planning policy due to our vast population and lack of cropland, as well as the relative deficiency of per capita resources," he said.
The one-child rule is mainly enforced in urban areas.
Wang also announced an expansion of rural healthcare provision for pregnant women, and said efforts "should also be made to rectify the imbalance in gender ratio."
She also said a "complete working system" would be established to "in light of the great numbers of young migrant workers flocking to the cities for jobs."

Post subject: New things to do in Paris and Normandie during the winter?
This winter I will be leaving the dreary Netherlands for a visit to Paris and Normandie for a short holiday. I will be staying in Paris for two days straight after Christmas and then will travel on to a gite/cottage in La Manche/Normandie.
During the last couple of years I have travelled to Paris several times so, after visiting all those well-known touristy places, I am looking for new things to visit and do in Paris! Who can give me a good suggestion? I am pretty much interested in everything, as long as it is not too expensive. Me an the family will be staying in Paris for two days and I will be travelling with my family, parents, two teenager brothers and my sister. Me and sis are both in our twenties.
After two days in Paris we'll be moving on to Normandie/La Manche which I have always thought of as a place to go during the summer. A google search more or less proves me right. Unfortunately. There must be must-sees in Normandie apart from The Beaches. I'd love some suggestions here as well (for the Normandie novice, I know my way around Paris and the Haute Savoie, but this is new).
And a last-but-not-least question: what does one do in France during the turn of the year? I am used to fireworks, champagne and
(like fritters only bigger) but I am wondering if there is perhaps a traditional French food or tradition that goes together with Saint-Sylvestre that I shouldn't miss?
Looking forward to your suggestions!

Hi ! well, in Paris, what you shouldn't miss are the illuminations on the Grands Magasins, and the Christmas markets and concerts all around Paris (buy the Pariscope when you arrive, a small weekly guide for about 0,30 euros)
in Normandy, well, I would say enjoy the "fruits de mer", lobsters, oysters, crabs...which are also typical 31rst of december food, along with foie gras and smoked salmon ; you can also have "escargots" (snails with garlic butter" and white pudding with truffles...delicious !
tradition : kiss under the mistletoe at midnight !
I don't know where you're going in Nomrandy, but if you are near Deauville or Trouville, go and spend the night in the casino !

I don't have much experience with Normandy, but one place I'd highly recommend is Mont St Michel - it's beautiful, unique (sometimes called the 8th Wonder of the World) and winter might actually be a good time to visit as there won't be nearly as many tourists as in summer!
As for Paris - a boat trip on the Canal St-Martin is a lot of fun, though obviously at this time of year you'll need to wrap up warm. The company that runs them is called Canauxrama (www.canauxrama.com). The trip finishes at La Villette, which has plenty of things worth checking out (especially the Cite de la Musique). Other things you could do - check out the markets (Christmas ones and ordinary ones, Clotilde has posted a list of the latter) or one or two of the city's smaller/less obviously touristy museums. A few of my favourites are the Picasso and Rodin museums and the Musee Guimet.
Hope that helps - have fun!

If you'll be near Bayeaux, I highly recommend visitng the city and the museum and seeing the Bayeaux Tapestry. It is almost a 1,000 years old. And the Peace Museum in Caen is very nice.

Thank you all very much for your great ideas! I'm printing the list of (Christmas) markets as we, ehm, speak and have jotted down the rest of your suggestions in my notebook. I am especially interested in the Bayeaux tapestry (nearly forgot all about it so thank you Bainst!) because last year in Lapland (Sweden) I saw a similar kind of tapestry of Sami (or Viking, I'd have to check my notes) origin and I would love to compare the two.
Happy holidays and a very good 2008 to you all!
XX, (two kisses in France, right? Will have to get used to that again as we kiss three times in the NL)

Ukranian Village based artist J. Taylor Wallace will roast a pig in the mouth of his giant metal Sarah Palin sculpture "Tea Parody" in the evening Friday, April 20, at the opening of the Bridgeport Sculpture Garden on 35th Street. The nine foot tall piece, which doubles as an oven, will be one of 20 sculptures featured in the opening exhibition.
Bridgeport Art Center Manager Paul Levy says the Palin sculpture is not his favorite piece in the exhibition, but he does admit that it has mass appeal.
"People love that piece, and we've gotten a tremendous reception from everyone who has seen it," Levy said. "What can I say, people love Sarah Palin."
Wallace said the piece was born out of his frustration with the political climate surrounding Palin's potential presidential run last summer. He said he thought she was stealing media attention away from the discussion of real issues by pulling publicity stunts and eating fried butter at state fairs, so he said, he decided to turn her actions into a parody.
"I felt like I needed a catharsis, creating the work really helped me deal with my frustration at the time," Wallace said. "But the point of the piece is to actually get people talking about things that are important to all of us right now."
His decision to roast a pig was a deliberate decision as well. He affixed two turkey wings to the pig's back to act as physical representation of the euphemism when pigs fly, a reference to Palin's chances at the presidential nomination.
Local artist Terry Karpowicz, who curated the show, said the Palin piece was selected primarily for its depiction of the human figure.
"I tried to cover a broad range of topics in the show capturing imagery, movement and flow within the space. [Palin] is the only figurative piece which had a broader audience appeal," Karpowicz said.
The sculpture made its debut last summer at the National Ornamental Museum in Memphis, TN. Wallace has invited the Former Alaskan Governor to all of his events since the sculpture's debut, but so far she has not shown up, he said.

Trouble installing NetBSD
Hi All
I recently built a new stationary computer. I tried installing NetBSD, but it did not install. I tried installing without acpi enabled and it worked. But it won't boot up unless I have acpi disabled.
Then I tried installing PCBSD, and it didn't even make it to the install screen.
I ran dmesg with my previous NetBSD installation, and it showed a warning about my two hardrives being identical. So I guess that's the culprit.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
You might want to look at your BIOS settings and see that the drives are correctly ID' d in the bios. If you are using SATA drives you will need to have ide emulation enabled for FreeBSD or OpenBSD. It may also be helpful to post the motherboard model number and the chipset it has ie intel, amd, via sis etc. Via brand chipset do not play well with multiple SATA drives in OpenBSD
From a March 9 Post
The original poster did not give information on his motherboards chipset but having struggled with this previously and finding the bios settings were the key to making the install I gave the advice I did.
Why are you quoting me? SATA is a physical connection.. it can be exposed to the operating systems in a variety of ways.
ISA IDE controllers on i386 were originally mapped to several known addresses in I/O space, with the advent of PCI a standardization was drafted and a mostly generic driver could be written so that PCI IDE controllers from different vendors could use the same driver, but obviously support code exists to handle additional features and other quirks.
The SATA specifications define the electrical conventions, but not how it should be exposed to the OS, for compatibility reasons.. chipset designers would emulate a PCI IDE controller so that for "basic" support was available, however almost all chipsets have a native mode of operation, i.e: need a dedicated driver.
Intel published a software-side standard called AHCI, which can be implemented by vendors in a standard way and exposed "native" SATA features like command queuing (NCQ) and hotplugging, not every SATA controller supports this, and not ever BIOS allows "toggling" between modes (..so the kernel needs to, but how it's done is chipset specific).
OpenBSD has many drivers, wdc(4) for controllers in legacy ISA mode.. pciide(4) in compatibility or native mode which doesn't mean what you may think, it refers to a SATA/IDE controller being mapped at the fixed ISA address OR in memory space as a "native" PCI device (MMIO).. ahci(4) only for SATA devices that comply with Intel's specification, and other SATA/IDE native "RAID" controllers.
The point I'm trying to make shep is that you can't say blanket statements like "OpenBSD doesn't support SATA" without realizing that "SATA" is a physical interface and if the chipset isn't exposing a PCIIDE/AHCI face.. someone needs datasheets and some free time to write a driver.
I think my original statement is being taken out of context. OpenBSD does support SATA drives but the BIOS needs to have IDE emulation (or as you said in your earlier post IDE mode) set- ie not RAID mode.
The one statement I have made is that on motherboards that use the VT8237S chipset OpenBSD will not support more than one SATA drive.(PR6117) The original poster said he had two hard drives.
FreeBSD will support more than one SATA drive and the fact that the Original Poster could not get PC-BSD to install suggested that the bios settings might be at fault. Certainly his motherboard could have a bad chip or even less likely both SATA drives are bad. I thought his bios setting should be the first thing looked at.
Oko and BSDfan666, I appreciate all the support you provide to the forums, each of you has helped me several times.
Incorrect, OpenBSD does not require that all SATA controllers be in IDE mode.
You're taking me out of context, I meant that unlike some OS's, OpenBSD only has a single PCI IDE driver instead of having one for each vendor/chipset.
Depending on the chipset another driver may attach, for instance, ahci(4) on AHCI complaint SATA controllers.. or one of the hardware RAID controllers that OpenBSD supports, try apropos "SATA RAID" sometime.
In fact, you don't know what hardware the OP has.. saying that his only choice is to enter the BIOS and enable IDE mode for all SATA controllers isn't true.
As for your issue with that VIA chipset, that is only a single chipset, many others do work fine.
Send it to a developer so that support can be added, and if the vendor doesn't provide documentation, complain to /them/.
Where did I say this?
The bios in both and Intel Atom based motherboard and a Via C7 motherboard offered 2 options: 'ide' or 'raid'. I had a single SATA hard drive and a SATA DVDRW drive in both systems. Only the Intel board would load OpenBSD and that was with 'ide' selected in the bios. If I selected 'raid' in either system the bios would not configure raid for a single drive and it would not show up in the bios when raid was selected. The Via C7 motherboard had the additional problem that the OpenBSD driver only supported one SATA device with 'ide' selected.
How else would you say this?
I am still waiting for you to back this statement:
Last edited by shep; 20th May 2011 at 12:36 AM.
There are two standard ways of accessing SATA controllers, via PCI IDE emulation or AHCI.. the "RAID" settings configured by some BIOS allow exposing a SATA controller in a native form, sometimes it's proprietary, sometimes it's AHCI with custom metadata on the disk on integraded chipsets.. OpenBSD -CURRENT refuses to attach in this case until softraid(4) can support such configurations.
Many BIOS's offer toggling a non-RAID AHCI mode, and it is often the default on systems sold with Windows 7.. older versions lacked an AHCI driver.
I have a ASUS M4A87TD/USB3 AM3 AMD 870 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 AMD Motherboard. And a AMD Athlon II X2 250 processor. The memory is kingston an hard drives are WD....etc.
I tried going in to bios settings and change IDE to AHCI and RAID, but those made no difference.
I'll post a dmesg shortly.
What ever the problem was, it seems to have been solved with NetBSD 5.99.55.
Sorry for the late reply.

The price Equinox paid to acquire The Sports Club Co. was close to $130 million, according to an industry source with knowledge of the deal.
That figure is a little higher than the $125 million the Los Angeles Times reported last week, when Equinox, New York, announced its acquisition of The Sports Club Co., Los Angeles. The deal includes the four The Sports Club/LA clubs in Los Angeles; Beverly Hills, CA; Irvine, CA; and New York City's Rockefeller Center.
"The past few years have been record-breaking for The Sports Club Co., so this decision was particularly difficult," The Sports Club Co. said in a statement, "but we are confident that Equinox will guide the clubs into the future and ensure that they continue to be the enduring, some say iconic, institutions that they are."
The acquisition does not include The Sports Club/LA clubs in Boston, Miami, San Francisco, New York (on the Upper East Side) and Washington DC, nor does it include Reebok Sports Club/NY. All of those clubs will continue to be owned and operated by Millennium Partners Sports Club Management, Boston, which has managed those clubs since 2006. Millennium Partners purchased five of the six clubs from The Sports Club Co. for $80 million.
The Sports Club Co. would not comment on how long the negotiations took place with Equinox but did say it had multiple suitors. The transition of the four The Sports Club Co. clubs to Equinox is expected to take place over the next two to three months.
The three owners of The Sports Club Co.—President Nanette Pattee Francini, Chairman Michael Talla and CEO Rex Licklider—will not be part of the four new Equinox clubs and are looking into activities outside the fitness industry, the company said. Francini and Talla founded the company in 1979.
The Sports Club Co. is No. 22 on this year's Top 100 Clubs list with a reported $52.9 million in revenue, a 3 percent decrease from its 2009 revenue ($54.5 million) and a 17 percent decrease from its 2008 revenue ($63.5 million). According to figures the company supplied Club Industry, it had 20,107 memberships and 700 employees at the end of 2010.
Last month, The Sports Club Co., a public company traded on the Pink Sheets, reported a 5.4 percent increase in revenue in second quarter 2011 compared to second quarter 2010. The company generated $14.2 million in the quarter compared to $13.5 million in the same period last year. Revenues increased 5 percent to $28 million for the six-month period ending June 30, 2011, compared to $26.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Captain Slow took a turn or two 'round some rolling UK hills in Jaguar's new cat scratch fever, the S-Type replacing 2009 Jaguar XF. Top Gear gives it two
strokes thumbs up — as you'd expect from the British motoring show. But the best part has to be when James May claims the XF shows Jaguar's finally got a big brass set again beneath all the fur. We're not entirely sure, but one thing we know for certain — and maybe it's the skillful video production — but for the first time, we're actually liking the XF's Intrepid styling. You be the judge.

Leslie Eisenberg necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 202 diseños de 34 diseñadores freelance.
ClinicalConnection is a website where people with all types of medical conditions can search for medical research studies (also known in the U.S. as "clinical trials" or "clinical research studies"). People often opt to participate in medical research studies when they have exhausted standard treatment options for their illness, because standard treatment does not work or they cannot tolerate the side effects. Many medical research studies are designed to evaluate potential new medications before they can be prescribed by doctors to patients. By participating in studies, patients can access medications that may help them -- prior to their commercial availability to the general public. Visitors to ClinicalConnection's website at http://www.clinicalconnection.com can search for medical research studies in their location by entering their zip (postal) code and/or their particular disease or medical condition. They can then view descriptions of studies in their area and if interested, be put in touch with the medical facility conducting the study for more information. ClinicalConnection's website is visited by more than 250,000 individuals each month and is the number one U.S. non-government website for study searches. In addition, we have more than 300,000 people who have signed up to receive Alerts when new studies open in their location.
There are several target audiences for the new logo:
Primary Target: Men and women age 18+ who visit the website to search for medical research studies (typical visitor is in their twenties through fifties).
Secondary Targets: Hospitals, doctor's offices and pharmaceutical companies who that post studies on ClinicalConnection so patients can access study information and volunteer if the study is a good match for them.
We're looking for a new logo for our website which is being redesigned. Please visit the new Home Page at http://sonja-design.com/cc/ to see context for your logo. The current logo is featured on this page. Our current website is at http://www.clinicalconnection.com. The logo will be used for emails, e-patient newsletters, an exhibit booth, and member-client communication.
Logo "Do's":
- We would like the majority of the logo to be blue since it denotes "trust."
- The logo should be upbeat, yet professional.
- We would like the logo to stress that we are in the business of connecting people to each other and to medical research studies. (We have a "community" section on our website where people can dialogue with each other.)
- The company name, ClinicalConnection should be part of the logo.
Logo "Don'ts":
- No cartoons. The current logo is cartoonish and it is hard to discern that the artwork represents people.
- No globes, maps or medical symbols
Again, we want this to be upbeat.
- No clip art
- Files we require:
Print file format (vector): .ai(CMYK)
Web file format: .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)
A good competitor logo is at http://www.emergingmed.com. We like this logo and think it bridges the need to appeal to different target audiences. The one thing that may be missing in this logo is the concept of "connection." Looking forward to your entry!

Ian Sales, in Don't Look Back in Awe wrote "Here we go again. I've complained before about the undeserving admiration given to many science fiction novels and short stories of earlier decades."
Hat Being Worn: Snide & Dismissive.
Could that have anything to do with jealousy over (take your pick) – awards they've won, market presence they command or always being told that 'so-and-so' has ALREADY written that story?
Hat Being Worn: Fair and Balanced
Truth be told – I don't think I've ever read anything by Ian and his subject focuses not directly on the entire OLD works of the genre but on the recommendation of those works as a tool to get people to read SF.
Hat Being Worn: Investigative Journalist
Ian justifies his statement with: "Such fiction is no longer relevant, is often written with sensibilities offensive to modern readers, usually has painfully bad prose, and is mostly hard to find because it's out of print."
Point by point: No Longer Relevant. OK. Relevant to what? The history of the genre? Seems pretty relevant to me on that score. To a writer looking for new ideas? Pretty relevant there too unless you really do want to cover old stories with new tricks that will be outed in the most painful and embarassing manners possible. To the reader of the contemporary author who said 'I read and was inspired by (hoary old non-relevant SF author born before TV was invented)'? Seems pretty relevant to them.
Written with sensibilities offensive to modern readers? Maybe. If modern readers are A: hung up on political correctness and B. Totally incapable of understanding that history is context and things do change with time. Of course, if both of those things are true for our hypothetical reader for whom old SF is not relevant, they aren't readers of science fiction.
Usually has painfully bad prose: Oh, so you've read each and every last old non-relevant short story, novella, novelette, novel and series and haven't found a single sentence of well-written prose? Doubt. Serious doubt – about which I'll get to more in a minute.
Mostly hard to find and out of print: Actually, completely untrue. ABE, Amazon, EBay and individual collector/providers – not to mention SFRA, NESFA Press and a host of other resources are available and you can find just about anything you might be looking for.
Four declarative statements, all of which are either broad, essentially meaningless opinion (presented as fact) or untrue.
One really wonders about the motivation of an author who is actively promoting the idea that we should all run screaming away from our roots. Shame? Why? Sales didn't write that awful stuff and won't be held accountable. Oh, except for those people who will hear that he writes SF and immediately associate his works with a centuries worth of awful writing. Except that those people will not be familiar with those old works. So who the hell is Sales talking to?
Sales offers up Nightfall as his strawman and then proceeds to burn Asimov in effigy. All the while, Sales misses the point, surprising, because he himself says that such stories are 'historical documents'. (Fear the historical documents my son.)
Of Nightfall (the award-winning short story by Asimov that was later turned into a novel by Silverberg) Sales says: "By all criteria, 'Nightfall' fails as a good short story. And yet it's still regarded as a classic. Some people will even suggest it's a good example of science fiction. Rubbish. It's built around a single, not very interesting idea – a world has never seen darkness… and then it gets dark. Wow. There's a comment on the boom-bust nature of civilisations in there, but it's pretty much thrown away."
Ahem. (Tap tap tap on the shoulder) Ian, it's an HISTORICAL DOCUMENT. When Isaac wrote that story in 1941, all previous stories that had featured planets with multiple suns treated them just like Earth, except that there were two (or more) suns in the sky and multiple (many-tinted) shadows on the ground. No one before Ike had taken the idea to its furthest extreme, a world where the sun never set – except once in a great long time.
And Ian also missed the meta-story inherent in Isaac's tale: there are things out there of which we are completely unaware, that can and will bite us hard if we don't put aside superstition in favor of fact. Seems to me that's a pretty relevant story concept that is STILL very much alive in 'modern' SF.
But see, this is what happens when you're not familiar with the HISTORICAL DOCUMENTS. You miss nuance. Fact that you are blissfully unaware of come back and bite you. Hard.
Ian goes on to further attack the 'primacy of idea' in old SF: "In part, this harkens back to my earlier post about the primacy of idea in science fiction. 'Nightfall' contains a very obvious idea and it appears to me that many think the sheer in-your-face nature of it overrides all the story's faults."
Except, of course, since Nightfall is only an historical document, you missed what the REAL idea of the story was. You failed to place it in proper historical context. No one, least of all me, is going to try and claim that Asimov wrote sterling prose that tripped lightly off the tongue. Just for contradiction's sake, here's Scalzi's recent take: "Generally I like Asimov's work quite a bit and fully acknowledge its (and his) importance to the genre, but speaking from a writerly point of view I don't find his fiction writing skills hugely impressive. He is probably one of the best examples of a "classic" sort of SF storytelling that is heavy on very cool ideas but weak on things like character development — his writing is a vehicle to tell the story rather than adding to the story itself. There's nothing wrong with it (I lean more toward that direction of things myself, after all), but on balance I wish there was more there there when it came to the writing itself."
Let me remind you that Sales' initial proposition was that it is WRONG!recommend old science fiction to new people. Here we have Scalzi, a contemporary and award winning NEW SF author saying that he likes Asimov, recognizes his importance, knows that Ike was an 'idea man' and wishes his writing was a bit more there. But he likes him.
Ian – there just may be a few potential SF readers out there who just like Scalzi. Maybe a few thousand. Readers who are perfectly capable of liking an idea based story just as much (or maybe more) than they like a prose based story. Maybe they like both. Maybe their tastes are so eclectic that it won't matter what you stick in front of them. Or maybe they prefer idea based stories and just absolutely hate all that high-falutin lit'rury crap that so many NEW SF writers seem to want to turn out. Maybe.
Just who are you recommending books to, Ian?
Ian does try to redeem himself a bit at the end by saying "I don't think we should refuse to read old classic works, but we must recognise that they're historical documents. And add that caveat to any such recommendations or commentary. Further, modern sf readers shouldn't need to be aware of everything which has gone before, but modern sf writers certainly ought to."
This is all I have to say about that: "Here's this really old, out of date, badly written, idea-based historical document, Billy. Not only must you read it, but you MUST hate it. Later, we'll have milk and cookies while I read you a modern SF tale with wonderfully written sentences in it."
Good idea for writers to read that stuff though, Ian. That's a really good idea. They might want to take a little historical context with them when they do.
But there's more. Several people riffed on Ian's piece, like this one: "When I first joined GSFWC I went on a bit of a crusade so I could get up to speed with the "background knowledge" that everyone else seemed to have. I made a list of the classic writers and hit Obelist Books and Future shop for examples. I read one Clarke (Childhood's End – enjoyed the idea-quota, but couldn't believe how quickly the story was skimmed), two Le Guin (Dispossessed and LHoD – loved them), a Delaney (Nova – again, loved it), and got on okay with Poul Anderson, Cordwainer Smith and James Blish too. On the other hand I found Asimov and Heinlein unreadable. But that's just me."
"I read one Clarke…"
Ok, now this guy seems a bit more reasoned ("…it would seem a bit pointless to still hold those texts up as the best we have to offer, but on the other hand we're looking at them out of context. At the time, they made a big splash for good reasons. They were all about challenging the ways people thought about the world, the universe, about science and the future. They were about challenging people – writers and readers alike – to expand their imaginations. They weren't about good literary standards. No-one pretended they were, or indeed really cared much.") – but we were originally talking here about 'recommending these works' as a way of introducing readers to SF and I'm sorry, but reading ONE story by Clarke does not by any means equip you to make recommendations to anyone else. (Nor does Ian's background reading equipm him either, apparently, since he dismisses everything pre 90s out of hand.)
Childhood's End is kind of dark, open-ended and requires a fair amount of background sophistication to really 'get' if you want our proto-SF Lit-Virgin to understand why it was a recommended piece and what was to be gained from it.
If I really wanted to get someone 'into' Clarke, I'd probably start them off with Tales From the White Hart. They're innocent stories, short, often amusing and successfully convey the idea that an SF tale is about having FUN exploring possibilities.
The truth is that readers of SF DESERVE to be exposed to the classics – the right classics, in the right way, at the right time and in the proper context. Their appreciation of the genre will be enhanced, their perspective on the genre wil be enhanced and (perhaps dangerous to some modern writers) they will be better able to judge newness, originality, relationships and whether or not that thar ritin has got improvification. Plus they'll be better (SF) people.
I just don't get this NEED to attack the classics. Doing so doesn't make you any better as a person. It certainly doesn't improve your own writing or sales. You don't want to read the classics? Don't. Someone else does? Let them.
If the issue really is 'how to introduce new readers to the genre', well, that's an highly individualistic enterprise, isn't it? I mean, at least if you want to be real (and effective) about it. Every single successful convert is going to require a tailored capture methodology. This friend likes SF film – find a book tie in. That friend is into Hard Boiled Detective Pulps – find some writers who worked in both genres.
It's HISTORY man. That which has gone before has MADE THE WORLD WE LIVE IN NOW. As too many would-be writers have discovered, those who don't know history are condemned to repeat it in writing. An that gets you a rejection slip for UNORIGINALITY.

It's hard not to be excited when you hear Magic! discuss their music.
The band is taking over airwaves with their summer-ready track, 'Rude,' but they're not stopping there! Magic! also got in on the World Cup action, penning a song for the 2014 FIFA World Cup official album. Oh, yeah, and they're also releasing a full-length album of their own.

Whether or not they realize it, pop music fans are already familiar with Nasri's work. He's written many tracks for Justin Bieber, including 'As Long As You Love Me.'
"Justin has been such a positive artist in my life, such a giving guy to me," Nasri said, before revealing one significant moment he shared with the singer.

hey guys, been awhile I know. had alot of heart issues over the last few years. Tryin to get back in to the swing of things I noticed my rig's performance was goin down the toilet. i built my M3A78 ( AMD 770 socket OR SB700, about 8 years ago. Along the way and 3.0Ghz quadcore was added, memory loaned out and so forth. She had on build day 8 gig 880Mhz DDR2 Corsair sticks. when I accuried them back and reinstalled them, the board failed to turn on the video but did fire up. Figured maybe a stick was bad and at that time, I had no other board to test that same memory. Wife buys be that same exact set i got on build day. Turns out the only dimm slot, A1 was operating, now we all know with todays web, 2 gig aint gonna cut it. Do any of you guys have an old am2+ 770 socket board collecting dust. All I need it the board. id be forever in whoevers debt and willing to pay shipping via Paypal. With this bran new set of memory Id like to stick with what I have, dont have the cash to get a new CPU and memory. Thanks guyss, I'l be lurking, lol.
On a SIDE note. I still play 99, look for my server if you guys want a blast in the past. {MM}Strays Alley{MM} more then my old esr setup.

Phil Jackson, the greatest head coach in Chicago Bulls history – and perhaps in the history of the NBA – feels that Derrick Rose will emerge as a vocal leader on the team as he matures.
"As he grows older he will become more of a vocal leader, and I think that's an important aspect for a guy who wants to lead his team into the NBA championship level," Jackson said Friday on "The Waddle and Silvy Show" on ESPN 1000. "And that's the direction they're headed now."
Rose already has embraced his status on the team and his role as the leader, and he's used his rehab sessions at the Berto Center to motivate his teammates even though he can't be out on the court with them.
"That's why I come in early," Rose said during media day earlier this week. "Even when [my teammates] were coming in and working out, that's why I did everything up here [at the Berto Center], just to let everyone know that I'm alright. Letting them see me working hard in the back, or running on the court, shooting, just doing extra stuff so that it can take that pressure away from them."
Jackson understands the seriousness of Rose's knee injury and feels that patience must be exercised by everyone, including fans. But like most people, the coach just wants to see D. Rose back on the court as quickly as possible.
"I know it's going to take a while for that," Jackson said. "That's such a critical injury for a player, especially one that had such great ability to stop and start and change directions. But there's a period of time that everybody has got to give him. A year is sometimes the outer limits of that injury before one recovers, and a year would put them back in the month of May. Hopefully he can speed that up a little bit and get back in the middle of this season and contribute to the Bulls."

Kim Kardashian West taking 'much-needed time off'
Her assistant Steph Shep took to the reality star's website to update fans on her progress.
WASHINGTON - Kim Kardashian West's assistant Stephanie Sheppard has revealed the reality star is taking some "much-needed time off" after being robbed at gunpoint in Paris earlier this month.
Sheppard, the reality star's assistant who calls herself Steph Shep, took to the raven-haired beauty's website to update fans on her progress, and while admitting the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star is likely to be away from the spotlight for the foreseeable future, her app and webpage will be kept updated by her pals.
In a handwritten letter shared on the site on Monday, she wrote: "Hey group, so you may have noticed we haven't updated the app in a couple weeks.
"Keeks is taking some much needed time off.
"But not to worry we've called upon Kim's closest friends, fam and yours truly to save up some exclusives.
"Stay tuned for new posts and app takeovers!!
"Thank you so much for your support for my girl.
"Love you mean it!"
Kim was tied up with plastic handcuffs and duct tape during the incident in Paris, France, earlier this month by armed, mask robbers who took off with $10 million worth of jewellery from her apartment in the French capital.
The star was spotted out for the first time since the horrific ordeal last Thursday when she went to dinner in Los Angeles with a pal.
Kim's sister Khloe Kardashian recently admitted her sibling is still "not doing that well" following the robbery.
The brunette beauty said last week: " She's not doing that well. It's incredibly traumatic what happened to her, but our family is super close and great and we'll get through it together.
"We do appreciate all of your guys' love and support. It will take time. It was horrible what happened to her.
"It's just a wake-up call to make a lot of life adjustments. This is a really serious matter.
"For Kim I think it's really personal as to when that emotional, like, terror you could move on from.
"It's a wake-up call for all of us, but definitely [the focus is] just to make sure our sister is OK."


text: Rose Riot: Melvins Photo Shoot By Rose Riot (All photos by Rose Riot) Slow and heavy wins the race for the Melvins. The Melvins started off as a slow and dirty three-piece in 1983. Currently, with the addition of a second drummer, the band head count is four. The band is touring its latest release Freak Puke. The Melvin's show on April 25, at The Loft in Atlanta, was the second rock show I had shot in three days... The first was Rammstein. My first thought upon arrival at The Loft was, "This is exactly the opposite of my Rammstein shoot." Rammstein was in a huge arena, wide photo pit with security escorts, bells n' whistles and some question as to whether the band was actually performing live... The Melvins' shoot was in a small music hall, no photo pit, just me and a bunch of sweaty dudes pushed up against barricade, the only bells n' whistles were all the crazy attachments to the drum kits and no doubt, this was live music. Buzzo looked like a combination of a monk and a deranged clown playing guitar. Jared Warren and his bass were tucked away in a shadow towards the back of the stage and the center piece of the performance both physically and musically was the two Suess-like drums kits that contained Coady Willis and Dale Crover inside them. The music was enveloping with its loudness and suffocating with its crowd turn out. The percussion took the crowd on an tight and precise thrill ride. The drummers played like savant-conjoined twins and every time they did something truly amazing and righteous, the crowd would ooh and ahh much like they were on a roller coaster. It was one of those shows that wipes away all care of the world and reality when you are there, you leave with a new perspective and possibly a better person. Thank you Melvins for the therapy session. (Rose Riot is a photographer in Atlanta and contributing blogger for Tattoo Artist Magazine.)

Browser beware.
That's the message the Better Business Bureau wants to spread about Ijango, a self-described "online community" which is recruiting marketers in face-to-face sessions across the country.
In pitch sessions, Ijango "directors" promise potential members that if they pay $149 to sign up and $20 a month thereafter, they'll make money when people they recruit search and shop online. The BBB says Ijango's plan has "red flags" and could potentially be a pyramid scheme, since its revenues may rely mostly on signups of new members.
Since Ijango launched in August, the Bureau has received 3,400 inquiries about the company. It gives Ijango an "F" rating. And Internet critics have lobbed savage reviews of its business. Here's what company cofounder Steve Smith told us about those bad notices on the Internet: "Mainly it's just been one guy named clicksniper and he's made an awful lot of money developing an awful lot of traffic from an awful lot of people who like hearing news that's not as good of news as you might like to hear."
Smith and other Ijango representatives have strongly disputed the Bureau's claims.
It's that "potential" that may be the real power of Ijango: People who believe in the product because they think they will make money. But how much money? Michelle, an Ijango user, refused to say, claiming it was a "private matter."
Here's a Better Business Bureau video about Ijango:

text: Zoe the zebra shark—a long-time icon at the National Aquarium, Baltimore—now has a companion in our Wings in the Water exhibit! Last week, we added a young male zebra shark to the tank. At about 4 feet long, the male zebra shark—named Zeke—is much smaller than Zoe, and he is also much lighter in color. Zoe has been at the Aquarium for 12 years, and is estimated to be about 17 years old. Zeke is 2 years old. Zebra sharks are so named because as juveniles, these sharks have dark bodies with yellowish stripes. As the sharks grow, the stripes break up and the pattern changes to dark spots on a grayish-tan background. Because of this change, zebra sharks are often referred to as leopard sharks. Two more features make this shark difficult to confuse with any other: the prominent ridges running the length of the body and the impressive tail, which is nearly as long as the body itself. Zeke has mostly lost his stripes, but you can see that his spots are much closer together than Zoe's. He came to the Aquarium as a small pup in August 2010. Since then, Aquarium staff has cared for Zeke behind the scenes, and prepared him for introduction into the exhibit. Part of that preparation included training Zeke to take fish from the end of a pole held at the surface of the water by Aquarium staff. For the safety of our animals and staff, the sharks at the Aquarium are always pole fed, not hand fed, by the divers. Zeke is adapting and responding very well to his new environment. Be sure to look for Zeke the next time you visit! Tags: Animals Categories: Animals, News Previous Post Next Post

Apple has announced an event on October 23 where it is expected to reveal the hotly-anticipated iPad mini. What can we expect?
The company sent invitations to the media overnight for an event at the California Theatre in San Jose. This is the first time in seven years that Apple has used this venue for a product launch.
Like always, Apple has been light on details. The invitation sent to the media is simply titled "We've got a little more to show you". Most observers suggest the word "little" points to an event that will unveil the much-rumoured iPad mini.
The Apple event is scheduled for Tuesday October 23 and will kick off at 10am Pacific Standard Time (PST). For us Aussies, that translates to a starting time of 4am on Wednesday October 24.
iPad mini rumours
Despite being a completely new product, the iPad mini rumour mill has gone into overdrive in the past few months. Some of the widely expected features are:
• A smaller 7.65in screen compared to the larger 9.7in display on the regular iPad.
• A display with a 16:9 aspect ratio and a resolution of 1136 x 640.
• The smaller 8-pin 'Lightning' connector, the same port used on the recently released iPhone 5.
• 512MB of RAM.
• The same A5 processor used in the iPad 2.
• A starting price of somewhere between $US250 to $US350.
• Both Wi-Fi and 3G versions, but no LTE 4G connectivity expected.
When is the iPad mini likely to be available in Australia?
You can expect the iPad mini to be available in Australia as soon as its available in the US. Using this year's new iPad as a guide, Apple announced the iPad on Thursday 8 March and released the tablet in Australian stores on Friday 16 March. Apple traditionally likes Friday for product launches, so Friday 2 November or Friday 9 November are good bets.
Where will I be able to buy the iPad mini from?
If it comes with 3G capabilties, the iPad mini is likely to be available from all three major telcos in Australia — Telstra, Optus and Vodafone.
Like the current iPad, the iPad mini will also be sold outright through Apple Retail Stores and online store.

My list for 2007 isn't based on sales figures, hype or what everybody else is saying, but on what I found myself listening to the most in 2007. I'd like to think it's pretty reflective of the past 12 months, but as in years past, there is a fine line between what made the cut and what didn't.
Time to put together my top 10 favorite CDs for 2007. My list for 2007 isn't based on sales figures, hype or what everybody else is saying, but on what I found myself listening to the most in 2007. I'd like to think it's pretty reflective of the past 12 months, but as in years past, there is a fine line between what made the cut and what didn't. I do know that the older I get the more difficult it is to compile such a list. I do take this opportunity seriously and put much thought into my choices. Several worthy artists did not make my top 10, mainly because the field this time around contained so many worthy candidates. Those missing the cut include albums by Timbaland, Rihanna, Maroon 5, Tim McGraw, Daughtry, Mat Kearney, LeAnn Rimes, Annie Lennox, Feist, Josh Groban and the soundtrack to "Dreamgirls." Here is The Farr Side's top CDs of 2007. 1. "Elliott Yamin," Elliott Yamin Elliott Yamin became like the little engine that could with the release of his self-titled debut album in March. His top-three finish on Season 5 of "American Idol" didn't turn him into an overnight sensation or instantly get him a record deal, but it did spark a fire within him to pursue his dreams. I'm glad he did, because his talent is so beyond his years. Yamin signed with an independent label for the release of his debut album. I was both excited and eager to hear what I believed he could already do, especially after seeing him nail just about every song he performed on Idol and on the "American Idol's Live" tour. "Elliott Yamin" is old-school R&B at its finest, good enough to stand up against the ranks of Donny Hathaway, Brook Benton and Otis Redding records. The album's second single, "Wait For You," became a major smash on both the radio and video airwaves, making Yamin a bonafide success story. Other notable tracks on the album include "One Word," "You Are The One," "Train Wreck," "Alright" and "Take My Breath Away." Yamin proved that you can make it even without the backing of a major record label, something not easily done today. "Elliott Yamin" is the biggest-selling independent album release of 2007, which can only mean one thing: If you're going to sing it, then sing it like Yamin it! Best Track: "Take My Breath Away." 2. "Graduation," Kanye West Mr. West's and 50 Cent's highly publicized bet over whose album would sell more its first day of release was ended when West debuted at No. 1 on the album charts with "Graduation." The album had the highest first-week sales of any other album in 2007. "Stronger" is West's best single to date, and he's had a few good ones along the way already. The album boasts a more mature West, musically speaking. "Good Life" features T-Pain and a sample of Michael Jackson's "P.Y.T." You can't get much better than that. Other notable tracks include "Can't Tell Me Nothing" and "Homecoming." West also earned eight Grammy nominations for "Graduation," including Album of the Year. As big a year as West has enjoyed, it turned out bittersweet when he lost his mom and best friend, Donda West. Best Track: "Stronger." 3. "Back To Black," Amy Winehouse What if you take Gwen Stefani's glam, Mariah Carey's glitz, and Celine Dion's poise and put them all together. Who do you have? Not Amy Winehouse! That's what's so good about her. She's not afraid to be herself, rehab or not. "Back To Black" is like a throwback to the 60s sounds of Dusty Springfield and the girl groups produced by Phil Spector, only with present day lyricism. "Rehab" (something she should consider) is an obvious standout in an album of full of standouts and eyebrow lifters including "You Know I'm No Good," "Love Is A Losing Game" and "Tears Dry On Their Own." I enjoy her twisted sense to writing catchy songs. Best Track: "Rehab." 4. "Raising Sand," Robert Plant and Alison Krauss This is what making great music is all about. Plant and Krauss' May/December musical relationship was an unlikely matchup, but their chemistry on this album is anything but unlikely -- it's flawless. The two artists come together beautifully on old classics like the Don and Phil Everly-penned "Gone Gone Gone (Done Moved On)" and Mel Tillis' "Stick With Me Baby." Krauss is superb vocally on "Through The Morning, Through The Night," while Plant's own "Please Read The Letter" resonates brilliance. Plant may have some years on Krauss, but that don't mean a thing here. They demonstrate how music can and does transcend the ages when it's this good. Best Track: "Gone Gone Gone (Done Moved On)." 5. "My December," Kelly Clarkson You go, girl! Clarkson took on producer and record company mogul Clive Davis to put out the album she wanted. "My December" may not have achieved the commercial success "Breakaway" did, but Clarkson achieved so much more here. She's the first "American Idol" to put anything out with some substance to it. That might scare some, but it makes her worthy to me. The record was an intimate look into the soul of a girl we thought had it all. It turns out she's just as human as anyone else. She hurts, she feels pain and she struggles just like we do. From the intense opener "Never Again" to the quiet and fragile disposition of "Irvine," Clarkson opened her heart like a diary. Best Track: "Be Still." 6. "Magic," Bruce Springsteen The Boss was back in business on "Magic," the album that brought back the famed E-Street Band. It was the Springsteen I remember. "Magic" fell along the lines of "Born To Run" and "Born In The U.S.A.," which are tops in my book. "Radio Nowhere" kicks off this timely reflection of songs, which often goes political. "Gypsy Biker," "Devil's Arcade" and "Last To Die" hit home in their intent, something Springsteen needs no magic to do. On a lighter side, his free-spirited side is also represented on "Girls In Their Summer Clothes" and "Your Own Worst Enemy." Best Track: "Girls In Their Summer Clothes." 7. "The Dutchess," Fergie This album had to grow a little on me before I found it praise-worthy. I'm a fan of Fergie and remember her days as part of the trio Wild Orchid, long before she was a Black-Eyed Pea. The first two singles, "London Bridge" and "Fergalicious," felt like Gwen Stefani rip-offs to me, but "Glamorous" and "Big Girls Don't Cry" made me see her as a viable female star in her own right. I like that the album can't be classified into any one genre -- it has wide appeal. Her success has been obvious, but I believe we've only just begun to see her star shine. Grab your sunglasses. She's got a bright future ahead! Best Track: "Clumsy." 8. "Lost Highway," Bon Jovi I knew it would take a rockin' band like Bon Jovi to show these newfound country bands how it's done. "Lost Highway" put the New Jersey rockers on top of the Country Charts with songs like "(You Want To) Make A Memory," "I Love This Town" and the duet pairing of Jon and LeAnn Rimes on "Till We Ain't Strangers Anymore." The cool thing about this album is it may be country flavored, but it's still a Bon Jovi record through and through. Best Track: "Whole Lot Of Leavin'." 9. "The Story," Brandi Carlile I had to have this album after hearing the title track just one time. Carlile's incredible vocal prowess conjured up images of Tammy Wynette, Janis Joplin and Melissa Etheridge all rolled up into one electrifying package. Every song represented on this effort is equally good including "Turpentine" and "My Song," but it was "The Story" that blew me away. I can't think of any other woman on the scene today that could have delivered those lyrics with as much raw emotion as Carlile did. Best Track: "The Story." 10. "Begin To Hope," Regina Spektor This album represents what a lot of albums lacked in 2007 -- an artistic touch. Spektor is not your everyday singer and her music is not your everyday style, and yet, she created some tracks on this record that totally got stuck in my head. "Fidelity" is a quirky, lovable and infectious little song that showcases Spektor's artsy nature, something missing from much of today's studio-based creations. Best Track: "Fidelity." David T. Farr is a Sturgis Journal correspondent. E-mail him at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Long Term Care in South Carolina
Most South Carolina residents prefer to receive long-term care at home; however, South Carolina spends most of the state's Medicaid funds on institutional care.
By 2020, 12 million older Americans will need long-term care. Most will be cared for at home; family and friends are the sole caregivers for 70 percent of the elderly. A study by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services says that people who reach age 65 will likely have a 40 percent chance of entering a nursing home. About 10 percent of the people who enter a nursing home will stay there for five years or more.3 In South Carolina, 9 percent of people 65+ have a self-care disability and 11 percent have a cognitive disability.
The majority (89%) of Americans age 50+ want to stay in their homes for as long as they can, and most 50+ South Carolinians express concern about this.5,6 South Carolina's long-term care budget does not reflect their concerns with most of its Medicaid long-term care dollars for older people and adults with physical disabilities going to institutional care.

FreeBSD 7.0 manual page repository
FreeBSD is a free computer operating system based on BSD UNIX originally. Many IT companies, like DeployIS is using it to provide an up-to-date, stable operating system.
ieee80211_crypto_attach, ieee80211_crypto_detach, ieee80211_wep_crypt -
ieee80211_crypto_attach, ieee80211_crypto_detach, ieee80211_wep_crypt - 802.11 WEP encryption functions
void ieee80211_crypto_attach(struct ifnet *ifp); void ieee80211_crypto_detach(struct ifnet *ifp); struct mbuf * ieee80211_wep_crypt(struct ifnet *ifp, struct mbuf *m0, int txflag);
These functions provide software encryption support for 802.11 device drivers. The ieee80211_crypto_attach() function initializes crypto support for the interface ifp, and sets the initialization vector (IV) for WEP encryption to a random number derived from a secure PRNG. The ieee80211_crypto_detach() function frees data structures associated with crypto support for the interface ifp. The ieee80211_wep_crypt() function runs the appropriate WEP encryption algorithm over the 802.11 encapsulated frame held in the mbuf chain m0, for transmission or reception on the interface ifp. The txflag argument specifies whether the frame is being received or transmitted. A value of 0 indicates that the frame is being received and should therefore be decrypted; a non-zero value indicates that the frame is being transmitted and should be encrypted. The ieee80211_wep_crypt() function stores its IV in the interface's embedded struct ieee80211com instance. awi(4), wi(4), arc4random(9), ieee80211(9), ifnet(9)
The ieee80211 series of functions first appeared in NetBSD 1.5, and were later ported to FreeBSD 4.6.

SMART has introduced a solid state drive that can do 50 full drive writes a day for five years using consumer-grade MLC flash; that's 89,000 P/E cycles and a 50X jump up from the raw NAND rate.
The new product is the Optimus Ultra Plus: a 2.5-inch, 6Gbit/s SAS SSD that has the same performance numbers – 500MB/sec dual-port read and write bandwidth, 1GB/sec wide port bandwidth, 100,000 random read IOPS and 60,000 random write IOPS – as the 25 drive writes/day Optimus Ultra. This compares to the original Optimus SSD which can do one full drive write a day.
SMART says that raw consumer-grade 2-bit MLC NAND can do less than one full drive capacity write a day for five years. Let's do some math; one drive write/day for five years is 1,780 program/erase (P/E) cycles. Fifty drive writes/day for five years is 89,000 P/E cycles, well up with single level cell (SLC) flash. Part of SMART's marketing pitch is that you can replace costly SLC flash drives with its cheaper extended life MLC flash drives.
Its Guardian Technology platform uses some digital signal processing techniques to get this extended endurance.
Let's extrapolate the idea here and think what SMART could do with shorter life 3-bit flash (TLC). It's not a linear extrapolation so we'll apply a 35X endurance improvement to the raw TLC instead of a 50X one, and arrive at 35 x 1,250 = 43,750 P/E cycles for 3Xnm (39-30nm) process technology TLC and 35 x 750 = 26,250 for raw 2Xnm (29nm-20nm) process TLC. That equates to roughly 25 and 15 full drive writes/day for five years respectively; not bad at all.
Seagate-bought DensBits is developing a TLC flash controller that can run at 10,000 P/E cycles; less than half our computed number for SMART's technology applied to 2Xnm TLC. Perhaps our extrapolation of a 35X improvement is just way off base. We're asking SMART what it thinks about it.
The Optimus Ultra PLus drive is sampling now. ®

Hello there,
The part in my program I'm stuck in gets a string, turns it to binary, pads the message and then divides it like Sha 256 does. Then, computes the hash with logical operations and bitwise operations.
Everything goes smooth and the 256-bit digest is saved to a file called "hash", but it's not what I should get.
For example: for string abc I should get:
ba7816bf 8f01cfea 414140de 5dae2223 b00361a3 96177a9c b410ff61 f20015ad
But for some reason I don't.

Howdy All,
Cameron, Marilyn, Kalen and I went up Falling Rock Canyon to Ontario and Big Horn peaks mid-March.
First time I've ever seen a waterfall in Falling Rock Canyon.
There was only a wee bit of snow in the canyon. Once we climbed out on to the ridge, we started running into snow.
Normally the route goes back and forth along the ridge up to the plateau. However, Cameron likes maneuvering around rocks, so we stayed close to the ridge's backbone. The amount of snow on Ontario's shoulder looked promising.
My team mates on the plateau.
Looking towards Ontario from the plateau. There was enough snow to cover the brush and deadfall, so we made a beeline for Ontario. Normally, this part is a mess -- one has to find a path through chest high brush (lots of buckthorn) and scramble over deadfall.
After summiting Ontario, everyone donned crampons and we headed along the ridge over to Big Horn.
Getting closer to Big Horn peak.
Took a snack break on Big Horn before heading down to Icehouse Saddle. Removed crampons and headed down the trail -- didn't even need microspikes.
I went up the Icehouse Canyon trail to Timber last Sunday -- didn't need traction. It looks like there is still a heck of a lot of snow on the Ontario ridge and Cucamonga.
Miles of smiles,

Sergejus Fedotovas talks up Hearts survival prospects
Hearts director Sergejus Fedotovas claims the club are on the road to fending off the immediate threat of closure.
Last Updated: 09/11/12 5:12pm
But Fedotovas warned much more money was still needed to meet a £450,000 tax bill.
Hearts were presented with a winding-up order on Tuesday by Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs, the latest in a long line of such petitions.
The William Hill Scottish Cup holders paid off the most recent one in February but majority shareholder Romanov's UBIG investment vehicle is believed to have stopped funding the club since then.
And Fedotovas, the closest figure to Romanov on the Hearts board, continued to urge fans to take control of the situation.
Fans were urged to buy tickets for three forthcoming home matches and subscribe to a share issue after the board warned on Wednesday that the visit of St Mirren a week tomorrow could be the club's last match.
"We are having a good response from the fans, from the people who really care about this club," Fedotovas said at Tynecastle today.
"I need to say thank you to everyone who has come to help us out. I'm hoping more people will continue to come and with their help we will be able to put this club in a safe zone.
"It's far from enough at the moment but the progress is good and if we continue like this we'll be fine."
The Lithuanian added: "We have been speaking to the companies of Mr Romanov and we have had some promising response.
"They say they will look at ways to help us out. Obviously not immediately, they require a certain time.
"I would not take that for granted but at least they are looking at ways to help us.
"At the end of the day any funding will have to be paid back - if we are able to get a fix it will be a short-term fix.
"So I think the best solution is for supporters to take this club into their own hands and ensure it will be here for many, many years."
Hearts have less than seven days to pay HMRC or face liquidation, although they could stave off that danger by voluntarily going into administration before then if they cannot pay.
When asked if administration was inevitable, Fedotovas said: "I have never thought about this and my priority is finding a solution, and I strongly believe a solution will be there."Fedotovas blamed the global economic situation for their ongoing problems paying tax and defended the decision to re-sign Ryan Stevenson in August despite their precarious financial position.
Stevenson had walked out of the club in January amid frustration over late payment of wages, a situation that was repeated in the last two months.
"We haven't paid any millions for Ryan Stevenson," Fedotovas said. "He is a Scottish player, we were able to negotiate a decent contract with him and the management believe he will be of good service to this club."
The latest wage delays sparked a Scottish Premier League transfer ban, set to last until December 23, but given Rudi Skacel had been training with the club before the embargo was extended, it is not inconceivable to think Hearts might have been willing to add to their squad further just weeks ago.
Fedotovas admitted there was a £2million funding gap that Hearts will have to plug before the summer, when they can repeat this summer's reduction of the wage bill.
But they face another tax bill of £1.75million, which HMRC have claimed after players on loan from Kaunas, which Romanov also owned, were paid in Lithuania rather than in the UK.
The matter is subject to a tribunal which could take several months to rule and Fedotovas has insisted the £1.79million share issue is not designed to pay off this sum, but to meet the shortfall in revenue before the end of the season.
However, he was unable to offer supporters any guarantees that supporters would be handed more say in the running of the club in the form of a representative on the board in return for their investment .
"We will definitely look at this and try to address it but to a certain extent it's difficult to do because I believe every single fan wants to be on the board," he said. "How to pick the right person, how to do it is a question for the future and we will be thinking about that and addressing it for the future.
"We are trying to maintain a dialogue with fans' groups and representatives and listen to what they want to see and say."

The problem being that, in the case of private property, this wording gives the false impression that the property owner had no choice in the matter. While most of us should understand the implications pretty well, someone from out of state could easily be misled by this sign, and assume that all businesses of that type are off-limits, or that the property owner is not exercising his free will in banning licensed carriers from the property.Pursuant to Section 30.06, Penal Code (trespass by holder of license to carry a concealed handgun), a person licensed under Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code (concealed handgun law), may not enter this property with a concealed handgun.
It could also turn a simple printing into a more serious issue if a non-CHL has decided that, for example, all gas stations are off limits since they've seen one posted with 30.06.
So, is it an issue worth taking up, and if so, how should the wording be changed?

For many, the holidays are a joyous time of year. However, for the bereaved, the holiday season can be one of the most challenging times of the year, especially if it is the first year without a loved one.
Without a loved ones presence, the bereaved are reminded again and again that their lives have changed forever. A sense of uneasiness and anxiety can be the prevailing feelings for this time of year.
Because this time of year is such an intense reminder of a love that has been lost, a holiday remembrance program can be a way to help the bereaved understand that heartaches will appear as they ready themselves for the holidays.
Certain things like unpacking ornaments and putting up a tree may cause the bereaved to feel deep grief and loss. A holiday remembrance service provides a time to gather together to reflect on the memory of their loved ones.
Attendees find comfort in not only the chance to reflect on the memories of their loved one, but find strength in being with others who have experienced loss and are coping with grief as well.
It gives an opportunity to share feelings about the loss and tell stories about their loved one. Because of this, this program offers great comfort and healing to the bereaved.
A "Light A Candle" Holiday Remembrance Service, sponsored by the staff of Heer Mortuary, will be held Sunday, December 2 at 2 p.m. at The Country Steak Out, 19592 East 8th Avenue in Fort Morgan.
We, the staff of Heer Mortuary, invite you and your family to attend a special Remembrance Service in honor of those who have died and also in support of YOU!
The candlelight service will include encouraging words, comforting music, and the reading of names.
As part of the program, our staff will be honoring those who have died in a photo slideshow.
If you would like your loved one's photo in the slideshow, please mail or email your photo to firstname.lastname@example.com or drop it by either office, 512 Edmunds in Brush or 225 East Platte Ave. in Fort Morgan, before November 28.
If you have mailed or emailed a photo, please telephone our office so our staff can be sure we have received it. If your loved one's photo has been in a previous year's slideshow, please call us if you want the photo included again this year. You do not need to have a photo in the slideshow to attend the service.
Refreshments will be served and grief support material will be available. The community is invited to attend.
RSVP's are not required, but please call 970.842.2821 or 970.867.5414 if you cannot attend, but would like the name of your loved one read at the service, or have any questions.
