Bigeye Temperature
A too warm camera is indicated by:
Temperature LED is ON or the attribute CCDTemperatureOK: 0
Common reasons for a temperature warning:
A critical ratio of cooling time to non-cooling time (1), the Continuous mode (2), or a high environment temperature (3).
1) To avoid noise in the amplifier, the cooling is paused during the sensor readout time. During the exposure time and the dark time, the cooling is active. If the exposure time is very short and the frame rate high, the cooling time is too short to reach a cold enough temperature.
Choose a longer exposure time or a slower frame rate to reach a lower camera temperature.
2) In the Continuous mode, there is no cooling. If you need cooling, do not use the Continuous mode.
3) If the environment temperature is above the specified temperature, the cooling is not able to reach the target temperature. Use a low frame rate, then the cooling has enough time during the dark time. As soon as the temperature is OK, increase the frame rate as long as the temperature remains OK. If possible, increase the exposure time.
To readout the attribute CCDTemperatureOK, you can use the VimbaViewer. It is downloadable from our webpage: www.alliedvision.com/en/products/software.html
In your own GigE Vision software, read this parameter as usual.

This sticky-fingered little miscreant was observed with these signs in his hands around 6 pm on Tuesday, 1/18/2011. Does anybody know who this is? Hmmmmmm? It looks like he's removing two signs from in front of the Town Council Building at 50 E. Civic Center Dr. Who put him up to this? I wonder if he has a collection of "No On Prop 406" signs in his garage? Remember how those disappeared? The ones handmade by Gilbert's children?Click here to read more

Hi Wouter,
Certainly, that would be a good thing. I apologize for letting the pace grind to a halt. Let's continue and see what happens.
Also, I am going to simplify the rules and character creation. I think I've add too much information and I'd like to scale that back a bit.
Do you have any objections if we switch to Whitebox rules? I will still have some interesting options, but making the switch may help me to get this going.
Let me know your thoughts.

If the idea of alternative healing, or the healing power of energy, seems farfetched to you, you may want to stop reading here. The same holds true if "holistic healer as conduit" plays your keys the wrong way.
This is about Reiki, a form of alternative healing also known as a laying on of hands. Its name is derived from two Japanese words for "universal life force energy." The Reiki practitioner claims to have developed her intuitive understanding of where to place the hands on the body in order to facilitate the flow of its healing energy.
It's similar to acupuncture in that its goal is to facilitate the balance of the body's energy. Yet different in that, besides the lack of a domino-like arrangement of pins, the practitioner transfers energy into a patient's body.
Chestnut Hill resident Kezia Renée Lechner has been alleviating the stress, sores and pains of friends with acute and chronic illnesses through the practice of Reiki for more than a decade. Now, she is beginning to expand her work base and offer her services to the public. She launched her website, www.heartofahealer.com, in January.
It all started when the love of her life, a man she was with during the 1980s and apart from during the '90s, was dying of cancer in 1999. Her practice of Reiki on her ex-partner, John Irion, relieved some of his pain. It was around that time Lechner herself was introduced to Reiki by a friend's wife who taught the modality.
Irion's illness catalyzed Lechner's pursuit of various alternative medical options, but it was to a friend that she ultimately went to learn. She studied and became a Level I, II and III Usui Reiki Master all in that same year.
According to Wikipedia, Reiki was developed in the 1920s by a Japanese Buddhist, Mikao Usui. Practitioners maintain that by placing the hands on certain parts of the body, generally the "chakras," or intersections of the body's energy system, universal energy is transferred through their palms, in the form of "ki," to the patient.
The claim is that the body's energy becomes balanced and adjusts the flow of the endocrine system. Advocates claim it can help one relax, reduce blood pressure, improve sleep and boost the immune system, among other benefits.
While accompanying Irion to his death was a revealing and profound experience, Lechner maintains her path as a healer really crystallized with a personal illness of her own in 2004. "It gave me an ability to express myself as a healer," she said. "You learn about healing because you've experienced it yourself."
Experience teaches you that healing is a multi-layered process that delves into more than the physical, she explained. Lechner has practiced the technique in various capacities, from hospice to working with individuals suffering from cancer, attracting patients via word of mouth.
You might say that the use of her hands to heal was a natural progression for Lechner. She graduated with a degree in sculpture from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA) in 1970. That program was part of a University of Pennsylvania collaboration, which means she also has a degree in fine arts from the U of P.
"As an artist and healer, my hands are important to me, and they already felt energized," said Lechner. "I knew how to use my hands."
Through the years the Hill resident has made a living teaching art part-time. During her 30s she worked as a sub-professor teaching sculpture at the Maryland Institute of Art. She has overseen many projects at numerous schools such as a 725-student ceramic tile mural at Jacksonwald Elementary School in Reading, and another mural for the Red Cross. She also had a seven-year residency funded by the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, at the Center in the Park in Germantown, in which she taught art to senior citizens.
Before coming to Philadelphia, Lechner, who will be 65 this year, spent one year at Scripps College, a private liberal arts all-female school in Claremont, California. In 1966 she came to Philadelphia. She married when she was 21, still in school and living with her husband in Mt. Airy. (They are no longer married.) Her first job as an artist was at a psychiatric hospital in Roxborough.
Kezia grew up in a medically oriented home in Buffalo, New York. Her father, a German Jew who escaped from Nazi Germany in 1938, was a physician, and her mother was a nurse educator.
And over the past 12 years she has furthered her Reiki education, studying different forms such as Reiki Tummo, as well as Integrated Energy Therapy, Reconnective Healing and the Bengston Mind Technique.
In addition to making house calls, Lechner also practices "long-distance Reiki," as well as Reiki on pets. The practice of long-distance Reiki is almost like prayer. She might use a photo of the person or pet she is working with, or write their name down on a piece of paper. Then she thinks about the person or pet and envisions healing light going to the recipient.
It sounds farfetched, and perhaps it is. Yet perhaps to some, the science and philosophy of quantum physics, a field that could be said to encompass some of the ideas of Reiki, may also seem farfetched. Lechner admits Reiki is not for everyone, but rather for people "who think they are looking for a gentle and powerful healing."
At present, she is also writing "Close to the Bone," a memoir about her experience accompanying Irion to his death. She plans to make it an eBook.
For more information visit www.heartofahealer.com.
Ed. note: According to Wikipedia, "The concept of 'ki' underlying Reiki is speculative, and there is no scientific evidence that it exists; a 2008 systematic review of randomized clinical trials concluded that 'the evidence is insufficient to suggest that Reiki is an effective treatment for any condition. Therefore the value of Reiki remains unproven.'"

Jan 28, 2008
Welcome Back, Old Friend
I have undertaken the self-assigned mammoth task of watching all nine seasons of my favorite television show of all time - The X-Files - in preparation for the sequel to the yet untitled X-Files movie slated for release on July 25th, 2008.
Spencer surprised me with Season 8 and 9 over the weekend so now I own the complete series. I stopped collecting the DVD sets after Season 7 when David Duchovny didn't want to play Fox Mulder anymore and Chris Carter decided to push ahead by introducing two new characters – Agent Doggett (Robert Patrick) and Agent Reyes (Annabeth Gish) hoping to keep the franchise alive. Sadly for me, my obsession waned due to what I perceived as weak writing and teaser storylines concerning Mulder and Scully's developing relationship.
I always expected re-watching every single X-Files episode in sequential order would constitute that moment in my life when something amazingly tragic happened that allowed me to gain the ability to melt into the couch for an entire week stuffing myself with sour skittles and Ramen noodles trying to pull myself up from a deep sudden and unexpected depression with the help of Mulder and Scully. That being said, I've weathered all sorts of personal tragedies over the years and not once did I have to pull out my "Plan A" or "Plan B" survival tactics over any of them.
This Saturday afternoon found me cracking open Season One and by Sunday night at 11pm, I had polished off watching sixteen episodes. Translated this means I spent 12 hours (45 minutes per episode x 16 = 720 divided by 45 minutes each) of my past weekend watching The X-Files and I can't wait to watch episode 17. I managed to sandwich in a second viewing of another favorite movie-Little Miss Sunshine-but pretty much my entire weekend was dedicated to aliens, burgeoning government conspiracies and things that grow long hair and fangs in the night.
Spencer came along for the ride occasionally firing up the Mac book to surf the web while watching all sixteen episodes. Minnie snuggled up warmly next to me for a good amount of the weekend knowing she was in her best strategic position for catching left over scraps of my snacking.
I couldn't be happier with my decision to spend my leisure time watching all nine seasons. I'm at the point in Season One where it's just starting to get good. The writing is almost past notions of Fox Mulder being considered 'Spooky' and just about to get really good because Scully is about to be abducted.
I can't wait !

A neat generational photo - Dec 1957
The more I look at this family photo, the more interesting it becomes - as a transitional piece; everyone is there - only one grandchild (first cousin) yet to be born. Grandpa and grandma, Paul and Dorothy KINNICK, are each still alive (center), with their three married children. The two older cousins have their future spouses as Christmas guests, but the first marriages are more than a year away.
Leo (the oldest second generation here) and his wife, Ida, are in the center beside his parents. They had four children: Karen, with her future spouse, Richard (Dick), to the left of grma/grpa; Kathleen, second from right; Kelton (in front of Karen); and Karla (on right, front row). Eileen is the middle daughter, with her husband, Leverne (Pete) - he is holding their youngest, Paul - to the right, in the back row [these are my parents, I'm the oldest, taking the photo - my wife to be, Nancy, is standing in front of them]. Their other three sons are: Jim, to the far right; Tom, far left in front row; and Barry, center of front row. Edward (Buzz), the youngest son, with his wife, Colleen (holding their youngest, Lonnie - Bryan is nearly three years away yet) are to the far left. Their two girls are: Marcia, front row, second from left; and Cindy, second from right in the front row.
Families are Forever! ;-)

Gifts Advance Excellence
Section Navigation
Whitman is committed to creating opportunities for students that further our goal to educate leaders who approach problems with knowledge, passion, imagination, and commitment. The intention is to create a student experience like no other, one that nurtures multi-dimensional thinkers who relate to different cultures and make a difference in their communities and the world.
In addition to several other academic areas, Whitman donors supported three signature programs that cultivate the thoughtful innovation and strong leadership for which the college is best known.
The Outdoor Environmental Leadership Fund
Established anonymously in 2005 and expanded significantly in 2011, this fund boosts the development of environmental leaders by providing support to environmental studies outdoor field work, internships, projects and events. Funds also are available to help students offset financial burdens associated with participating in environmental and outdoor activities, allowing promising leaders to participate in field work they might not otherwise be able to afford.
In line with Whitman's commitment to a broad foundation of knowledge, the Outdoor Environmental Leadership Fund's (OELF) founding donors believe that experiential opportunities are invaluable in deepening character, environmental ethics and leadership skills.
In 2010-2011, the OELF supported scrambles, a winter expedition into the Idaho wilderness, a summer expedition to central Wyoming, participation at the Environmental Law Conference for 15 students, partial support for several students teaching about sustainable agriculture and eco-stoves in Guatemala, and funding for nearly a dozen summer environmental internships.
James and Penelope De Meules Chemistry Faculty Salary Endowment
James and Penelope De Meules
Created with a gift from Penny and Jim De Meules '67, this endowment provides support for the chemistry department, one of Whitman's most popular life science majors.
With aspirations to become a chemist, Jim majored in chemistry at Whitman and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. He also was active in Sigma Chi, ASWC, debate, The Pioneer and other campus activities. With an interest in the law sparked by Professor Bob Fluno, Jim went on to earn a JD from Columbia Law School. Jim's career with O'Melveny & Myers, LLP, focused on corporate and banking law until his retirement as partner in 2005.
In 2010, Jim and his wife, Penny, expressed their intent to contribute further support to the endowment through a bequest to the college upon disbursement of their estate. The addition of these future bequest funds will transform the endowment into the James and Penelope De Meules Endowed Chair in Chemistry, which will enable the college to fully fund a faculty position in the department.
Though he never became a chemist as he had originally planned when he entered Whitman, Jim greatly appreciates the excellent education he received from the chemistry department faculty and Whitman as a whole.
Robert Withycombe Debate Endowment and Jim Hanson Debate Endowment
Bob Withycombe directed the forensics program from 1980 to 1992. With his guidance, students earned top speaker in nation honors two years in a row.
Jim Hanson is a ranking director of the National Debate Tournament and the treasurer for the National Parliamentary Tournament of Excellence.
A formidable team for more than 100 years and currently one of the largest squads in the country, Whitman's speech and debate teams continue to compete successfully against their collegiate peers at Harvard, Northwestern, UC Berkeley and Dartmouth, among others.
In recognition of Bob Withycombe's inspirational accomplishments as debate team coach and 30-year career as a professor, numerous donors contributed in 2009-10 and 2010-11 to generously increase the Robert Withycombe Debate Endowment in honor of Bob's 2009 Washington Professor of the Year award and his retirement from teaching. Established in 1998 with a gift from John and Megan Salzman Medica '81, this fund provides team support and travel opportunities for the many students who participate in this award-winning program. As a team member, Megan valued Withycombe's influence on her academic career and his friendship over many years.
Withycombe came to Whitman in 1980 and was promoted to professor of speech in 1994. In addition to his teaching responsibilities, he directed the forensics program from 1980 to 1992. Under his leadership, Whitman's program earned national recognition with students garnering numerous awards, including top speaker in the nation two years in a row, second in the nation in individual events and fifth in the nation in debate and nearly a dozen academic and competitive All Americans in debate. With Withycombe's guidance, Whitman students have won more than 425 individual and team awards in speech and debate.
In honor of Withycombe's successor as debate team coach, alumni and supporters of the debate team have joined together to establish the Jim Hanson
Debate Endowment. Overseer Jason P. Smith '97 has made a lead gift to the effort and is rallying the support of debate alumni to acknowledge Hanson's remarkable leadership and his work on behalf of the program. The endowment will provide funding for future generations of speakers and debaters.
John and Megan Salzman Medica
A graduate of Western Washington University, Hanson earned his master's from the University of Washington and a Ph.D. from the University of Southern California. He came to Whitman in 1992 and was promoted to full professor in 2006. He is a ranking director of the National Debate Tournament and the treasurer for the National Parliamentary Tournament of Excellence. Hanson has written several books, including "Breaking Down Barriers: How to Debate" and "The Dictionary of Forensics."
Whitman's generous donors recognize the importance of a strong and broad foundation of knowledge. Year after year, they seek meaningful ways to support the college and its mission to provide an outstanding liberal arts education.
Gifts such as those highlighted here — along with thousands of other gifts made each year — foster the celebrated exchange of teaching and learning that is so vibrantly demonstrated on our campus.

REBECCA ST. JAMES' "I Will Praise You" Released TODAY 4/5/11. I was THRILLED to have the opportunity to listen to this CD before it hit the shelves. As a christian music listener, I am a huge Rebecca St James fan! It has been years since she released a solo album. So this cd is exciting for her as well as her fans! You can see in this video her mission behind this CD. I can see her joy and passion behind this album.
I read an interview of Rebecca St James on her site. I found the answer below also very clear on the mission of this CD. This really shows what you can expect from "I will Praise You."
How did you approach the making of I Will Praise You and how did it differ from your other albums?
It was different because number one, it's a worship album. I write about 75% of my studio albums myself. But I went into this project going, you know, I'm very willing to take other people's songs that capture my heart and record those. As I started writing for the album and different subjects and themes were coming up I felt were what God was calling me to write about, the songs were flowing, and there was inspiration, I was actually surprised at the end of the day that I was co-writing five out of the ten songs. But I didn't go into this album feeling any pressure that I had to write the whole thing. I was like, God you have your way and provide the songs that need to be on here. It's quite a peaceful, easy process.The difference musically . . . generally with an album my producer and I will go in and we'll program every song and then go into the studio and bring other musicians in to be the band around that program track. It was the opposite on this album. We recorded with a blank slate with the band, and then put programming in on the back end, so I think it actually creates a different sound for me."
The title song on this album is my very favorite! I LOVE "I will praise you!" This song makes me want to dance and sing along! I can't help but sing this song out loud! My daughter started singing along with me after the 3rd time I listened to it! It was amazing having my 5 year old singing along with me! Hard to describe how happy that makes my heart!
While that is my favorite song, I have to say all the songs are amazing! You will hear Rebecca's version of "You never let go" which is another that I love to sing along to! The collection of worship songs on this CD are a great balance of slow and up beat.
This CD is very moving and makes you want to worship along with her! I found it awesome that even my children loved this cd. They enjoyed the soft and soothing voice that Rebecca has. I enjoy the words as well as her voice! She does not disappoint! This CD is everything I hoped it would be. And it is everything you would expect from Rebecca!
You can enjoy the cd online now! Check out Rebecca's LISTENING PARTY. Enter your email and you can listen to the 1st 3 songs and tell your friends and you can enjoy the entire album! That is awesome! Listen to it now and you will see what I am talking about! This cd is amazing! You will be singing along with her!

Finding My Summer Vacation's Shortest Path
Back when gas prices were below a dollar per gallon, my family would take cross-country driving trips. When we were planning how to get from point A to point B, we consulted a paper map, especially if we hadn't been there before. Besides allowing you to trace possible routes, a map usually had a lower triangular matrix with the precomputed distances between a set of cities found on the map (and some that might be just off the edge of the paper). Looking at the intersection of rows/columns for, say, Albuquerque and Boston, I would find that the shortest route known to the cartographers was 2232 miles. Since there isn't one road that connects these two cities, how did those mapmakers compute the shortest distance between these two places? (Remember that Google Maps wasn't even the glimmer in anyone's eye back then.)
Think of a map as an instance of a graph, the cities are the nodes and the roads between cities are the edges. The length of the road is the weight of the corresponding edge. The All-Pairs Shortest Path problem asks you to compute the minimum length path (shortest distance) between all pairs of nodes within the graph. Thus, besides computing the shortest distance needed to drive between Albuquerque to Boston, you can also find the minimum driving distance between Charlotte and Detroit, Ellensburg and Frankfort, or Greenwich and Hilton Head.
The All-Pairs Shortest Path problem takes a graph of
n nodes represented by an
n x n weight matrix,
W. The result is an
n x n matrix,
D (for distance), where the
D[i][j] entry holds the minimum weight of the path from node
i to node
j. Entries in the
W matrix can be zero, positive (if a direct edge lies between the two nodes), or the infinity value (∞) where there is no direct edge between the nodes. The main diagonal of
W is filled with zeroes to denote that it takes no time or distance to travel from a node to itself. It is okay to have negative weights in the
W matrix as long as there is no negative length cycle. This condition will assure that only simple paths are found. (For a graph that models physical distances, you won't have negative values. However, if the edge weights are for something like tolls on the roads, a negative weight might represent a payment you receive for travelling between the two nodes.)
Floyd's Algorithm is a simple solution to this problem. The key point to the algorithm is to find the shortest path between node
i and node
j that includes (or excludes) node
k on the path. For each pair of nodes, each possible node
k in the graph is tried in turn to find these shortest paths. The algorithm computes a series of successive
Dk matrices, one for each individual
k, with the previous
Dk-1 matrix used in the computation. In formal notation, we compute the value of an
[i][j] entry from the previous matrix (i.e., look for a shorter path that uses node
k) with the following formula:
Dk [i][j] = min(Dk-1 [i][j], Dk-1 [i][k] + Dk-1 [k][j])
k iterations, the
Dk matrix will hold the lengths of the shortest paths that use the first
k nodes as intermediate nodes in the path. Once the algorithm has iterated over all
n nodes in the graph, the
Dn graph will contain the shortest path lengths between all pairs of nodes with some combination of other nodes as intermediate nodes. This is the result that we are looking for.
From the above description, I can see that there will be a nested loop pair to compute the minimum path between each
i,j pair. This computation is going to be the body of the loop that iterates over all the choices for
k. If the initial
D0 matrix is simply the original weight matrix,
W, a serial code implementation of Floyd's Algorithm is shown here.
void Floyds(float **D, int N) { int i, j, k; for (k = 0; k < N; k++) { for (i = 0; i < N; i++) { for (j = 0; j < N ; j++) D[i][j] = min(D[i][j], D[i][k] + D[k][j]); } } }
I've elected to use a float array for both the weight and distance matrices. The constant FLT_MAX from the
float.h include file (not shown, but assumed to be part of the initialization of
W) is used to play the role of infinity for nodes not directly connected by an edge.
If you're in a hurry to find the distance between your starting point and somewhere exotic that is within your travel time budget, you might want to implement and run a parallel version of Floyd's Algorithm on multiple cores. One point to consider in such a conversion is that the iterations of the outer loop are similar to a time series computation. What I mean is that the algorithm must finish all updates to the
D matrix entries for each
k before going to the computation using
k+1. Thus, the outer loop must be run in serial and the two inner loops are the only possible candidates that can be made to run concurrently.

Does anyone agree with Nintendo that if you put a video of one of their games for example Mario or
super smash bro you could get a copyright strike on your youtube channel
Arnold Sideways wrote:Wasn't even aware that this was still an issue. Thought they'd relented and agreed to it provided they could run Nintendo based adverts on the video. This could be massively outdated/mis-remembered information on my part though. Given the current failings of the WiiU though I'd have thought they'd jump at any chance for someone to be reminded that they have a home console, and indeed are only 3 good games away from making me buy one.

People in their early 30s are delaying life milestones because of financial insecurity, research by LV= has revealed.
The study of 8,529 adults found that 24% of 30 to 35-year-olds are worried about the financial impact of milestones, such as having children or buying a home.
Additionally, 17% say lack of financial confidence has caused them to put off these major life milestones.
The research identified this generation as one of the least financially resilient groups, with 73% falling short of the Money Advice Service's guideline of having 90 days' worth of wages as savings.
Justin Harper, head of policy for protection at LV=, said:
"It's deeply concerning that many of those in their early 30s are delaying major life milestones because they feel worried, unconfident and ill-prepared financially.
"And it is worrying that so few of this generation can withstand the financial effects of an unexpected income shock - they have no Plan A, nor a Plan B.
"With low financial confidence and little provision to handle a financial crisis, there is a clear need for a safety net - a form of independence plan."

I haven't been updating my blog for the past 1 week. I was busy preparing for my Dutch test held at the university earlier this week and then I caught a cold and just as I thought the first cold or flu was gone, now I am suffering from a second bout of flu. I am sure that they belong to different strains, one more serious than the other, and I am also quite sure that I caught it from my son who got it from the creche. Honestly the creche is a hot bed of all viruses, I have lost count of how many times I have fallen victim to the viruses from the creche. The funniest thing is, His Majesty my son never seemed to suffer as badly as I did from any of these viruses or bacteria. Apart from a constant runny nose for the past 1 week, he didnt cough or show any signs of sluggishness. His immune system is definitely better than mine, thanks to the breastfeeding he had til he turned one! Now as I am writing, I am sniffing and coughing and the skin around my nose is all sore and peeled due to the persistent sneezing and rubbing. I should take a winter flu shot if it helps me to battle all these cold and flu attacks for the coming winter.
Anyway back to the bread I baked few days ago, it is called Japanese Sweet Potato Bread. No, the sweet potato I bought from Colruyt was not from Japan, I have no idea where it was imported from, it could well be a holland or belgian sweet potato. This is a sponge dough recipe from Alex Goh and the result is a soft, springy bread, that has a slightly sweet flavour. I was hoping that the flavour would be more intense, but alas, my sweet potato was not made in Japan, so it wasn't that sweet after all. But His Majesty finished 2 pieces of the bread when it came straight piping-hot from the oven. :)
Recipe adapted from Alex Goh's Baking Code
300g bread flour
35g sugar
3 g or 0.5 tsp salt
4.5g or 1.5 tsp instant yeast
60g overnight sponge dough
(*See below on how to make the overnight sponge dough)
145g cold water
30g eggs (half of an egg)
120g sweet potato, cooked and mashed with fork
30g butter
* How to make overnight sponge dough *
100g bread flour, 60g water at room temp, 1/4 tsp instant yeast.
(Mix the instant yeast with 20g water until well-blended. Add in the rest of the ingredients and knead to form a dough. Let it proof for 30 min. Wrap it up with clingwrap and keep in the fridge overnight or up to 48 hours.)
1. Mix ingredients A until well-blended. Add in ingredients B and ingredients C, knead to form a dough.
2. Add in ingredients D, continue to knead to form a smooth and elastic dough.
3. Mould the dough round, place it in a bowl and cover with cling wrap. Place in a warm place to allow it to proof for 45 min.
4. Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and mould it round. Place the 6 pieces of dough into a greased loaf tin.
5. Let it proof for 50-60 min or until its size doubles.
6. Bake at 180C for 25 min.

A: When I served as a police lieutenant in charge of helping the schools in my community, I had to get the message through to everyone in the district that the most dangerous thing they could say is "It will never happen here!"
While it is true that statistically the chance of a school shooting in your child's school is small, if we look at the situation a little differently the real danger is clear. At every event I ask the audience to tell me when and where the next school shooting will take place, because I will go to that school and prevent the violence. I have never had anyone raise their hand to say where and when the next shooting will happen because no one knows.
The reality of school shootings, at any school in America is that we must all, prepare to prevent, if possible, any attack and to respond properly if an active shooter / killer attacks our school because the next horrific incident is only days or moments away.
Here are a few steps that can be taken by you, the parent.
· Talk to your kids and encourage them to be aware of what is going on around them and if they "see something, say something."
· Help convert the adage that "it won't happen here"to "we won't let it happen here." Remember "Hope is Not a Tactic."
· Push to have a Threat Vulnerability and Risk Assessment (TVRA)conducted on every building where students and staff gather by a qualified assessor.
· Get involved, attend board meetings and work with other parents to let your school district leaders know your concerns must be addressed.
· Ask if an outside security consultant has helped them build a prioritization schedule of where dollars should be allocated or if they are relying on companies who are pushing the latest "panacea" product.
· Understand that there are things the district cannot tell you about their security, things that must remain covert to be effective.
· Do you see your district making changes that are in line with current best practices of safety and security? Some examples may include arrival and dismissal, lockdown drill procedures, visitor protocol, police presence, securing the playground, staff training, and locking doors.
· Ask about what the schools plan is for the Human Threat Assessment. This is the early identification, intervention, and long-term management of students that are a threat to themselves and others in the district.
A leading school security consulting and training firm, True Security Design LLC., is now at the forefront of delivering live action role-play training simulations and classroom-based instruction to better prepare school staff in an emergency. Today, the company's training curriculum and Threat Vulnerability and Risk Assessments (TVRA's) are trusted by Fortune 500 companies, government agencies and municipalities, utilities, healthcare facilities, school districts and leading universities to mitigate risk while protecting people and properties.

Six Student-Athletes at Farmingdale Receive Chancellor�s Scholar-Athlete Awards
Apr 20, 2005
The State University of New York�s Chancellor, Robert L. King, recently named six of Farmingdale State�s student-athletes as winners of the 2004-05 Chancellor�s Scholar-Athlete Awards. The Chancellor�s Scholar-Athlete Award was created to recognize academic excellence and outstanding athletic achievement. One student-athlete was chosen in each sport from one of four SUNY colleges, including Farmingdale State, Old Westbury, Purchase and Maritime. In addition to academic excellence, the student-athlete must have been named to any of the following: the All-Conference Team, All Tournament Team, MVP, etc., in order to be nominated for this award. This year�s winners from Farmingdale State were Reggie Routier (Indoor Track), Melissa Rudy (Volleyball), Patric Santiago (Golf), Anthony Scali (Baseball), Alberto Soberanes (Cross Country) and Devan Weber (Softball). The Chancellor will be honoring these recipients at The 2005 Scholar-Athlete Awards on Monday, April 25th at the Wyndham Hotel in East Syracuse, New York.
Freshman and team captain Melissa Rudy (Dix Hills, NY/Dix Hills) currently holds a 3.12 GPA and has made an immediate impact on the Rams Volleyball team this year. She was named Second Team All-Skyline for her play as an outside hitter. Melissa finished the season averaging 2.34 kills, 0.65 service aces and 3.43 digs over 68 games in regular-season play. She was also named to the WIAC First-Team and picked up All-Tournament honors at the WIAC Tournament on October 30th. Melissa is also the Vice President of Farmingdale�s Student-Athlete Advisory Committee.
Women's Volleyball End of Season Report
Nov 17, 2004
The Women�s Volleyball team and first year head coach John Sack finished the 2004 season 11-11 overall and 4-4 in the Skyline Conference. The Rams were defeated in the quarterfinals of the Skyline Tournament by St. Joseph�s College. Sophomore Gina Moscato and freshman Melissa Rudy were standouts for the Rams this season. Gina finished with 218 kills, 49 service aces, 284 digs and 16 blocks as a starting outside hitter. Melissa totaled 164 kills, 45 service aces, 241 digs and 23 blocks. Gina and Melissa were both named First Team All-WIAC, Melissa also picked up Skyline Second-Team honors. The Rams lost starting setter Falon Taddeo at mid-season. Falon, a junior, suffered a broken wrist and missed the remainder of the season. Falon still led the team in attack percentage (.244), assists (4.33 per game) and averaged 1.48 kills per game.
The team will be returning 9 of 10 players, losing senior Amanda Amodio, who has been solid as a defensive specialist throughout her career. Amanda finished the year with 26 kills, 26 service aces and 168 digs. The team will look toward freshman Elena Albert to take over defensively. Elena averaged 3.48 digs per game with a total of 226 digs. Sophomore Emily Fallon led the team in blocks this year with 28, along with an impressive 37 service aces. Freshman Megan Cranmer showed flair as a setter, stepping up her game in the final stretch. She tallied 278 assists and finished third on the team in service aces.
Melissa Rudy Named Second Team All-Skyline

Suzanne Hayes & Loretta Nyhan discuss their collaboration on I'll be Seeing You, and how they came to write the novel
Is it really true that, as of the date of this interview, you've never met each other in person? How did you connect initially, and how did you come to write a novel together? What has that experience been like for each of you?
Yes! It's true. We haven't met yet. Sometimes this surprises us. It feels like we have, but we only know each other through phone calls and email conversations.
Suzy: I was blogging and connecting with other writers online. I remember the day that Loretta launched her blog. It was announced over a set of other writer blogs. I clicked on over and there she was! Writing about organic food and the Beatles. I commented on her posts, and she started commenting on mine. A friendship was born. I think it took us about a year to shift over to phone conversations, and it was during one of those conversations that we expressed our desire to write something completely for ourselves, for fun. I suggested letters back and forth via email. We agreed on setting the letters in WWII, and then I sent off the first email, in character, and hoped for the best. When I got the first email back, I was elated. Soon the letters were flying between us. A story was forming as a friendship was growing. It was a very exciting time.
Loretta: The way this novel came together is a classic example of the "happy accident," which, of course, means it was meant to be. When the first letter came it was like a shock to my system. I was consumed with the need to write back, and that feeling never changed throughout the whole process. This experience has been one lovely surprise after another.
What was your inspiration for I'll Be Seeing You? How, if at all, have your own personalities and experiences informed the characters of Glory and Rita?
With both of us trying to get writing careers off the ground, we were spending a lot of time thinking about what it means to wait. We were talking to each other almost daily. It was the support that we needed, someone else going through the same experience. It seemed only natural that we would write about two women who were in a stressful situation and leaning on each other for support. I don't really think we discussed that part of it, though I think we stumbled into it. We both share a passion for similar historical eras, and we both like the research part of the writing.
Suzy: Glory is younger than I am, but she looks at life the same way. Her idealism, her sometimes selfish-without-knowing-it behavior is a lot like my own. The part of her character that is most related to me is the house and town where she lives. I grew up visiting Rockport, Massachusetts, every summer. It lives inside my heart. When I was thinking about where I wanted to spend my time in these letters, there simply was no other choice.
Loretta: Rita is bolder and more outwardly opinionated than I am; however, I do love to give advice (sometimes when I probably shouldn't). I also have a husband and two sons, and though it was disturbing, I forced myself to imagine what I would feel if I had to send them off to war. It certainly wasn't fun, but it helped give those letters a necessary emotional depth. There were tears, though, lots and lots of tears!
You've created such a rich and memorable cast of characters in this novelparticularly Glory and Rita, but also Levi, Robert, Roylene and even the incomparable Mrs. K.! When you started the book, did you have all of the characters and their journeys mapped out in your heads, or did they reveal themselves to you as you wrote? In what ways did the characters surprise you along the way? What was the greatest character morph as you wrote and revised the novel?
Suzy: I didn't have anything planned. I wrote a letter (the first in the book) and sent it off. When I received Rita's first letter, and real characters were starting to emerge, I responded to her in character. Soon, my own cast of characters came through the keyboard. They surprised me as they showed up. They had so much to say! For me, the character that changed the most was Glory. She grew up during the revision process. It was an amazing experience, helping her grow from spoiled child to wise adult. (Well maybe not always so wise )
Loretta: When I got Suzy's wonderful first letter, Rita appeared and just started talking. I know how that sounds, but sometimes characters show up with fully formed lives. I knew Rita would have a crazy neighbor. I knew she would be overprotective of her only son. I knew her husband would be a real sweetie, and I knew what would happen to him. Her story was there; I just discovered more and more of it as time went on. The only real surprise for me was Roylene. Just like Rita, I didn't expect her to become so dear to me.
What can you tell us about your next novel?
We want to tell you EVERYTHING about our newest novel! It's so exciting to write about new characters. The historical era we chose was the progressive era: 1917-1920 America. It's about two sisters, Pasadena and India Adams, who find themselves cast out by family misfortune. They end up in Manhattan with two very different agendas: Pasadena is determined to earn enough money to buy back their family home, and India just wants to grab up everything the city has to offer.
The girls find themselves living on the top floor of a tenement in the overcrowded Lower East Side. They quickly learn that survival will be more difficult than they planned. Instead of finding solace in each other, the sisters search for their brother, Kingston, who disappeared into the chaotic city. As the girls' separate lives begin to intersect in ways they'd never imagined, it's Kingston who they hope will sort things outif they can only find him.

Heartland Recreational Vehicles LLC, Elkhart, Ind., was founded in 2003 by a quintet of RV veterans. Their philosophy is lower numbers mean a better market and better dealers. That was one of the reasons why all of them left their previous companies to bring Heartland RV to the public.
The first product created by Heartland was a high-end fifth wheel. The LANDMARK which was aimed at extended-stay RVers who spend a lot of time in their coaches at one location was picked to create first on purpose because it was going to be the hardest to build and they wanted to prove that they could do it and do it right.
In 2006, Heartland broke ground on a new 110,000 sq. ft. production facility with a new corporate office structure attached. By the spring of 2006, Heartland had moved into the Top Ten 5th wheel manufacturers, and by the end of the year were solidly #8 with their eyes toward the #5 spot. Heartland was again poised for growth and launched the BIG COUNTRY 5th wheel and RAZOR toy hauler.

XKCD's Randall Munroe has a pretty serious background in robotics. As a kid he designed underwater ROVs and programmed battlebots. As a college grad, he worked on robots for a little organization called NASA. Maybe you've heard of it.
This foundation is what qualifies him to address the following question: "What if there was a robot apocalypse? How long would humanity last?" And according to Munroe, a real robot uprising would be pretty innocuous — more Brave Little Toaster than Rise of the Machines:
What people don't appreciate, when they picture Terminator-style automatons striding triumphantly across a mountain of human skulls, is how hard it is to keep your footing on something as unstable as a mountain of human skulls. Most humans probably couldn't manage it, and they've had a lifetime of practice at walking without falling over.
Of course, our technology is constantly improving. But we have a long way to go. Instead of the typical futuristic robot apocalypse scenario, let's suppose that our current machines turned against us. We won't assume any technological advances-just that all our current machines were reprogrammed to blindly attack us using existing technology.
Munroe goes on to illustrate a number of different uprising scenarios, pitting murderous appliances, accessories and automobiles against unsuspecting citizens of the world. It's a pitiful display of robotic ineptitude (battle bots, for example, can be bested with ease by allowing a kitchen sink to overflow). It's a refreshing take on the tired scenario of a robot uprising, and definitely worth checking out in full. In fact, while you're at it, you'll want to read the rest of XKCD's What If? posts. They're part of a new, weekly series dedicated to answering hypothetical questions with physics and comics. And yes, it is every bit as magical as it sounds.

New Laptop - Reorganizing My Data Files on Day 4
Visits (20198)
Continuing my saga for my [New Laptop], I have gotten all my programs operational, and now it is a good time to re-evaluate how I organize my data. You can read my previous posts on this series: [Day 1], [Day 2], [Day 3].
I started my career at IBM developing mainframe software. The naming convention was simple, you had 44 character dataset names (DSN), which can be divided into qualifiers separated by periods. Each qualifier could be up to 8 characters long. The first qualifier was called the "high level qualifier" (HLQ) and the last one was the "low level qualifier" (LLQ). Standard naming conventions helped with ownership and security (RACF), catalog management, policy-based management (DFSMS), and data format identification. For example:
In the first case, we see that the HLQ is "PROD" for production, the application is PAYROLL and this file holds job control language (JCL). The LLQ often identified the file type. The second can be a version for testing a newer version of this application. The third represents user data, in which case my userid PEARSON would have my own written TEST JCL. I have seen successful naming conventions with 3, 4, 5 and even 6 qualifiers. The full dataset name remains the same, even if it is moved from one disk to another, or migrated to tape.
(We had to help one client who had all their files with single qualifier names, no more than 8 characters long, all in the Master Catalog (root directory). They wanted to implement RACF and DFSMS, and needed help converting all of their file names and related JCL to a 4-qualifer naming convention. It took seven months to make this transformation, but the client was quite pleased with the end result.)
While the mainframe has a restrictive approach to naming files, the operating systems on personal computers provide practically unlimited choices. File systems like NTFS or EXT3 support filenames as long as 254 characters, and pathnames up to 32,000 characters. The problem is that when you move a file from one disk to another, or even from one directory structure to another, the pathname will change. If you rely on the pathname to provide critical information about the meaning or purpose of a file, that could get lost when moving the files around.
I found several websites that offered organization advice. On The Happiness Project blog, Gretchen Rubin [busts 11 myths] about organization. On Zenhabits blog, Leo Babauta offers [18 De-cluttering tips]. Peter Walsh's [Tip No. 185] suggests using nouns to describe each folder. Granted these are about physical objects in your home or office, but some of the concepts can apply to digital objects on your disk drive.
Other websites were specific to organizing digital files on your personal computer. On her Lifehacker blog, Gina Trapani shows her approach to [Organizing "My Documents"]. Chanel Wood offers her [How to organize your computer and still remember where you put everything], based on a simple alphabetic system. Microsoft offers [9 tips to organize files better]. Most of the advice was common sense, but this one, from Peter Walsh's [Tip No. 190], I found amusing:
"Use the computer's sorting function. Put "AAA" (or a space) in front of the names of the most-used folders and "ZZZ" (or a bullet) in front of the least-used ones, so the former float to the top of an alphabetical list and the latter go to the bottom."
Personally, I hate spaces anywhere in directory and file names, and the thought of putting a space at the front of one to make it float to the top is even worse. Rather than resorting to naming folders with AAA or ZZZ, why not just limit the total number of files or directories so they are all visible on the screen. I often sort by date to access my most frequently-accessed or most
Of all the suggestions I found, Peter Walsh's "Use Nouns" seemed to be the most useful. Wikipedia has a fascinating article on [Biological Classification]. Certainly, if all living things can be put into classifications with only seven levels, we should not need more than seven levels of file system directory structure either! So, this is how I decided to organize my files on my new Thinkad T410:
I'll give this new re-organization a try. Since I have to take a fresh backup to Tivoli Storage Manager anyways, now is the best time to re-organize the directory structure and update my dsm.opt options file.
