eMerge executive candidates win Central Student Government seats
LSA junior Anushka Sarkar and Public Policy junior Nadine Jawad will serve as the 2017-18 Central Student Government president and vice president, respectively, according to election results released early Saturday morning.
Sarkar and Jawad ran with the eMerge party, and defeated the second-place Movement Party executive candidates Evan Rosen and Dan Sweeney, LSA juniors, by a margin of 4,179 votes — or more than three times Movement's 1,677 votes. Art & Design senior Keysha Wall and LSA senior Lauren Kay of the Defend Affirmative Action Party came in third with 243 votes, and Better Than the Rest finished fourth with 157 votes. Student turnout measured at 17.9 percent, marking the lowest participation rate since 2014.
As no complaints were filed with the University Election Commission, Saturday's results were deemed official.
After a campaign season provoking central questions around identity and representation on campus, the party's sweeping success is truly unprecedented. Sarkar and Jawad are the first female candidates elected on the same ticket in the last decade, and the first women of color voted into office since at least 1993.
eMerge's campaign stood on three pillars of voice, opportunity and momentum, and Sarkar and Jawad often cited their positions in CSG and other student organizations to present a ticket backed by experience. Platform points were divided into more concrete "initiatives" — such as Wi-Fi on the Diag and a student mentorship program — and long-term "advocacy" issues such as improving testing accommodations and food insecurity support. The two also plan on lobbying for the reduction of the number of exams a student can take in one day from four to three, as well as the expansion of in-state tuition from undocumented undergraduates to include undocumented graduate and non-traditional students.
Upon recieving the official tally, Jawad said she was overcome with emotion.
"I cried," she said. "I couldn't believe the overwhelming victory, to see all of our (representatives) elected, to be the first women of color ever elected to this position, and just the overwhelming amount of support we got from the community. We just made history."
Both women agreed they would balance their short-term and long-term goals rather than focus on one aspect of their platform in their first days in office—the assembly is expected to be seated on April 4—but singled out a handful of issues: Sarkar named lobbying University Health Services to accept students' Medicaid coverage as among her priorities, while Jawad said providing free phone and laptop chargers for student use will be an immediately achievable initiative.
Movement's candidates pitched greater student engagement in the student governing body, but much of the attention on the party was fueled by a controversial music video it released two weeks ago. The video, featuring a rap written and performed by Rosen, attracted more than 20,000 views. Many students found the video offensive: The only scene with female students appeared in a sexualized context, and Rosen — who is white — compared himself to Black inventor George Washington Carver. Though Rosen apologized and promised to take the video down, clips are still featured on the party's Facebook page and continue to incite debate.
eMerge also filed two complaints to the University Elections Commission against the video for featuring what it alleged to be unauthorized endorsement by football coach Jim Harbaugh. Both complaints were eventually dropped.
Rosen congratulated eMerge on their victory, and said Movement's supporters would "continue to have fun."
"We are going to continue to improve the school in any way we can, and it was a great learning experience," he said. "I thank all of my critics as well."
In a public Facebook post, current CSG Vice President Micah Griggs, an LSA senior, stated the Black Student Union, the National Society of Black Engineers and Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Incorporated Epsilon Chapter leadership decided to formally take a "stand against The Movement Party."
"For a CSG presidential candidate to insult the black community and address the concerns of the video as 'a joke', said by Evan Rosen at the official CSG debate, will not suffice and will not be tolerated," she wrote. "If a presidential candidate who shows such disrespect to the black community is elected to serve as the representative for the entire student body, it would be a step backwards in progress that CSG has made to be more inclusive and representative."
Sarkar said eMerge's victory proved the party could transcend the video's controversy.
"Students on this campus are educated and aware, and they were able to see through the distractions that may have clouded the election towards then end," she said.
A demographic report released by CSG this past September found 69.8 percent of its representatives self-identify as white, 58.1 percent are male and 37.2 percent of the body comes from homes earning more than $250,000 a year. In a debate hosted Monday evening by The Michigan Daily, Sarkar and Jawad promised to better represent minority and marginalized communities on campus.
"There is no CSG bubble because we're breaking it," Jawad said.
Sarkar rebuts: "The next time you hear Movement talk about diversity, count the number of times they say 'they, them, or other.'" #TMDebate

eMerge amassed endorsements including current CSG President David Schafer, an LSA senior; Griggs; the Black Student Union; the University of Michigan's chapter of College Democrats; and the Indian American Student Association. All 38 of the party's candidates across 9 schools and colleges will be seated. None of Movement's slate featured on the party's Facebook page recieved enough votes to win representative seats.
Reflecting on the campaign, Sarkar looked forward to unifying the campus communty around the "inspiration" behind her win.
"You can look the way Nadine and I do, you can believe in the things that we do and fight the way we do, and be the highest student representatives at this University," she said. "As long as your work hard and you're passionate, you can be where we are."

Whether you are flying to Europe or to the Galapagos Islands, it is important to find something to do during your flight. Here's our top list of things to do during your flight:
1.Read a Book
This may seem pretty straightforward but sometimes, when in a flight it is tempting to spend the entire time thinking and trying to calculate the stopovers and estimated time remaining to get to your destination. Reading is a good way to wander into another world you can immerse yourself in for a long period of time. A good tip is to always keep that book you've always wanted to read in your hand luggage when travelling. If you're the type that likes to stick with what you know, you can make the book one of your classics.
2. Play Games on your Phone
While this may not apply to everyone, gamers know the joy that comes with interacting with the virtual world and winning points as you go along. Games are very good ways of keeping body and soul together in extremely long flights. There's even someone I know that plays games throughout on the short Lufthansa Nigeria Flight to Germany.
3. Start a Conversation
This seems like the most difficult thing on this list so far. It's not easy to get over the feeling that you may be intruding a stranger's privacy by trying to start up a conversation. Other questions that may arise in your mind can be "What if I don't share common interest with this person?" or "What if the conversation is short?". While these questions are valid, it shouldn't stop you from trying to start conversations with those seated close to you. You never know. You just with find someone you can talk to for hours about something both of you truly care about.
4. Watch a Movie
For many long flights, provisions are usually made for entertainment on TV screens. Watching the movie being shown may actually be a good outlet to help you relax and while away time. If you're very picky on the movies you watch, downloading a few movies of your choice before the flight isn't a bad idea.
5. Don't Forget your Power Pack
Bringing a mobile battery charger otherwise known as a power pack could be a life saving decision. You don't want to be in a situation where you're using your phone or tablet and it suddenly runs out of power. If all you've planned to keep yourself company is content on your phone, this won't make you happy at all. Remember, don't forget your portable power pack.
6. Bring a Health Kit
It goes without saying that having the drugs you take for allergies and other health conditions close to you is paramount. Asides this, also having extra means of hydrating yourself in the Plane is something that you should take seriously.
In Conclusion, the tips listed here are to help you have a good flight that won't bore you. If you are okay with sitting still for 12 hours or more in a flight then all that has been said won't apply to you. If you are one of many people that have found this piece useful, you can use it as a source of inspiration to find more ways to keep yourself busy the next time you are travelling a long distance.

A successful social marketing campaign needs to be a two way street: your hotel needs to get something out of it, but so does the guest. This doesn't mean that you need to spend eight hours a day having conversations with people in different social channels, but it does mean you need to be aware of what you're trying to achieve and how you're enabling your customers to fulfill your goals while making it a positive experience for them.
In a nutshell: don't use social channels to hard sell your guests. Social is not the conversion point, it's the path to the conversion point.
This fact often gets lost in social campaigns, so it's worth repeating: social media is a path to your existing conversion points. You can of course run specific promotions to achieve individual goals (like booking rooms) but the majority of your activity should be aimed at building a connection and giving your fans and followers a reason to trust you and want to do business with you.
How is this accomplished? By sharing information that is both relevant to your brand and that fills a need for your guests. For hotels, the number one thing hotel guests expect from social media is finding local information. This means talking about the things happening in your area, letting people know why they should come to your city, and keeping them informed about what they can be doing when they stay with you.
Fitting large quantities of information into social updates is tricky; too many words turn off your fans and they gloss over the post. The key is to create a catchy headline and include a link to more details. Bear in mind that if you are not linking to online property you control, then you are actively driving traffic away from you. The best way to overcome this issue is to create and maintain a quality blog.
Blogs allow you to share all kinds of content that is relevant to your guests and to your hotel. Talking about the local area helps position you as a local expert, and gives guests a reason to engage with you at a very early stage in their purchase cycle – before they've even decided where they are going to travel. By making yourself their go to source of information, you increase the likelihood they will book with you when it comes time to making that choice.
The blog also gives you a platform from which to host all of your relevant social marketing efforts: local tips, hotel news, fun getaway packages and more. Once the content is created, you can easily share it across your various social channels, linking back to the post. This enables you to drive potential guests from social sites to your blog, giving them reason to engage with you but without hard selling.
Make sure your blog is user friendly and has a booking widget that is easily accessible so your visitors can turn into guests when the time is right for them!

You can use the .msi installers with standard switches to install both versions of Flash Player (ActiveX and Plugin).
If you want to prevent Flash from doing automatic updates, create a transform file from the .msi using InstEdIt or Orca, and change the following items:
CustomAction - change the action named "NewCustomAction1" target from "-install -msi" to "-install -msi -au 2"
Property - Set AgreeToLicense to Yes, ISCHECKFORPRODUCTUPDATES to 0, and RebootYesNo to No.
Save your .mst file (e.g. flash.mst) and include it with your base .msi installer. Your command line for a silent install of the ActiveX version is:
msiexec.exe /qn /i install_flash_player_13_active_x.msi TRANSFORMS=flash.mst
This method avoids having to use a seperate mms.cfg file to turn off the auto updates.
Just noticed the Flash autoupdate service now do major versions too. A change from not to long ago. I install both the active-x and plugin version from the .exe with the "-install -au 0" switches using Intune. Seems like a hands off solution from now on even doing major updates, i.e. even going from 12 -> 13 was autoupdated without user notification or interference.

System was running ok before upgrading the CPU from CELERON 2.53 to P4 2.8HT on ASRock P4I65G BIOS 1.40.
After the upgrade, XP wasn't booting at all on the old OS, nothing happenned between the OS and system so I had to do a fresh install of XP sp3 + updates. I installed a ATI 9200 AIW card but removed it after the problems occured. I did a MEMtest+ for the RAM and they were ok.
The CPU temp is arouns 38c and the MB temp 60c (but can't where to tweak that). All two fans are running at 2,5000rpm.
Now, at random, the pc do this;
-starts normally but after a while (during game or installing a sofware), it reboots
-Sometimes, the pc won't boot, no power but the cpu fan is running, the power led is down and it is impossible to boot for log minutes (10 to 15)
-After few minutes, lights are back and pc starts again...
I guess its the power supply (Thermaltake2).
ps: after the first bug, I reinstalled the old CPU but same thing happenned so I putted back the new one.
Merci for your help!
I forgot to mention that after the fist CPU ugrade, I rebooted the pc which entered XP, recognized the new CPU under ACPI, installed it then rebooted but never got into XP again. Thats why I decided to reinstalled XP.
Second, when the power was down, I thought the MB was dead but lights reopened after few minutes...
"The CPU temp is arouns 38c and the MB temp 60c"
was this when you first boot??
"starts normally but after a while (during game or installing a sofware), it reboots"
maybe the temp is increasing as time goes on and, is now increasing faster.
Describe how you applied the thermal compound.
Temp are from a normal booting, after few minutes of running the pc under Speedfan. Not much programs are open, Firefox, DSL and Speedfan to test. I tested when running NFS-Porsche 2000...
The grease was apply as usual, after cleaning the cpu and the base of the fan then putting the fan over and clipping.

ADS purchases ERMC Security Solutions
NASHVILLE, Tenn.—In a deal finalized on Aug. 3, ADS Security purchased ERMC Security Solutions' account base, bringing more than 600 accounts under ADS' branch in Chattanooga, Tenn.
"This is very much in-line with many of the fold-in acquisitions that we do. It helps us to build our presence in important markets," ADS Security's president and CEO John Cerasuolo told Security Systems News. "We're already a very significant player in Chattanooga. This gives us the opportunity to extend that reach through these additional customers and then leverage those additional customers for referrals and growth opportunities beyond."
ERMC Security is based in Chattanooga and ADS first opened its branch in the city in 1997. This purchase makes Chattanooga the company's third largest branch of ADS' 22 total branches, following Nashville, Tenn., and Birmingham, Ala., Cerasuolo noted.
"Our goal is to be the premier local provider in every market," Cerasuolo said. "If we can get to that point, where we're the largest local company with the best reputation in the market—that's really the key to our success."
Five employees are joining ADS from ERMC, Cerasuolo said, including four technicians and one sales person.
ERMC's customer base is 60 percent residential, Cerasuolo noted.
The purchase of ERMC Security is ADS' second acquisition in 2017; the company acquired Falcon Fire Systems—established a branch in Summerville, S.C.—in early January.

This is more like a malpau where the batter is directly poured into a pan of oil and let to get cooked. I guess if one was really too conscious, they could make it as regular paniyarams. Until I saw the pictures I had no clue that these are made this way, though I had read about it so many times.
Vellai Paniyaram with Milagai Chutney
For the Paniyarams:
Ingredients Needed:
Raw rice – 1 cup
Urad dal – 3 tbsp
Salt to taste
Oil to fry
Repeat the steps with the remaining batter.
Traditionally these paniyarams are served with spicy milagai chutney.
Spicy Milagai Chutney
Ingredients Needed:
Onions – 2
Tomato – 1 big
Red chillies – 3 -4
Salt to taste
Mustard seeds – 1/2 tsp
Oil – 2 tsp
Few curry leaves
How to make the chutney:
Peel and chop the onions into big chunks. Cut tomatoes into big chunks.
Blend together onions, tomatoes, salt and red chillies in a mixer to a paste.
Heat oil and add mustard seeds and curry leaves. When mustard seeds start to splutter, add the onion paste. Saute until the raw smell of the onion disappears. Turn off the stove and transfer to a bowl.
This serves as a delicious side dish for paniyarams / idlis / dosas as well.

Plateau of Nejd and Desert of Ad-Dahna, Saudi Arabia24.6N 46.7E
Saudi Arabia's geography is varied. From the humid western coastal region on the Red Sea, the land rises from sea level to a peninsula-long mountain range (Jabal al-Hejaz) beyond which lies the plateau of Nejd in the center (visible here in the middle).
The Arabic word nejd literally means "upland" and was once applied to a variety of regions within the Arabian Peninsula. However, the most famous of these was the central region of the Peninsula roughly bounded on the west by the mountains of the Hejaz and Yemen and to the east by the historical region of Bahrain and the north by Mesopotamia and Syria.
Medieval Muslim geographers spent a great amount of time deciding the exact boundaries between Hejaz and Nejd in particular, but generally set the western boundaries of Nejd to be wherever the western mountain ranges and lava beds began to slope eastwards, and set the eastern boundaries of Nejd at the narrow strip of red sand dunes known as the Ad-Dahna Desert, some 100 km (62 mi) east of modern-day Riyadh, visible here framing the plateau to the right.
The southern border of Nejd has always been set at the large sea of sand dunes known today as Rub' al Khali (the Empty Quarter, partially visible at the bottom right), while the southwestern boundaries are marked by the valleys of Wadi Ranyah, Wadi Bisha, and Wadi Tathlith.

Presentation on available technologies and review of their features/limitation for querying any data storage on top of the current infrastructure or on future upgrades of this architecture.
Project Title: Evaluation of an abstraction layer for next-generation analytic engines and scalable databases
Project Description:
The interest in using Big Data solutions based on the Hadoop ecosystem is constantly growing in HEP community in particular for use cases related to data analytics and data warehousing. At the same time, OLTP databases continue to be critical parts of many systems, notably online acquisition systems that need to store and retrieve metadata and configurations in real-time (eg: Accelerator control). Many of these users currently have a traditional based database (eg: Oracle) for most their goal is to move these parts out to next-generation systems that allow them to scale-out so that they can profit more of their data. The objective is the evaluation of existing abstraction engines that would allow us to provide a long term service while reducing the risk of the very fast changing pace of these technologies.
Justification: Long term support for analytic services and scalable databases: many of the open source projects in the "big data" space change rapidly, we wish to provide an intermediate layer for stability of the developments`

I have always been incredibly interested in language – I practice French whenever I can, I am eager to learn the true art of performing Shakeapeare, and have a growing soft spot for poetry. No Man's Land is a beautiful script – very eloquent and intellectual, and full of wit and metaphors. It is incredibly entertaining and makes curse words even more comical as they conflict with the rest of the language in the play. This of course made the castings of Sir Ian McKellen and Sir Patrick Stewart excellent choices, as they are experts in portraying characters whose language is so eloquent – both training and working at the Royal Shakespeare Company.
I would love to read the play to get a better sense of the language. What baffled me to begin with – once the play had ended – was I did not understand the plot. There was no severe development. But I came to the conclusion that this was the plot of the play – the characters all have incredible intelligence and creativity, but waste their time (getting completely drunk) on Earth trapped in their own little worlds, too afraid to dive into anyone elses. They finish on a conversation about if the subject never changes then nothing ever happens. They ask to stop changing the subject, clink their glasses, and the play is finished.
"You are in no man's land. Which never moves, which never changes, which never grows older, but remains forever, icy and silent." Spooner, No Man's Land by Harold Pinter
The set was basic but beautiful. I loved how the room was a circle – because that enhanced my conclusion because a circle never ends (nothing changes). The language used in the text was incredibly eloquent and full of metaphors, which made it very impressive.
But, of course, the highlight was to see Sir Ian McKellen and Sir Patrick Stewart on stage. They were fantastic. They are my idols and so it was a pleasure to watch them live rather than on the big screen. Unfortunately, Patrick Stewart's voice was very tired and disappeared sometimes - but I loved his continuous effort. Having had my voice disappear on stage, or being unwell during a live performance, it is always amazing watching an Actor persevere. Plus - it is a reminder that actors are human as well, we get ill too.
Thank you Wyndham's Theatre for an amazing night!!

Arin Sime Takes to the Airwaves
Arin Sime, the Libertarian candidate for the Virginia State Senate in the 24th District (his opponents are incumbent Republican Emmett Hanger and Democratic challenger David Cox, who is running a tepid campaign), has released a campaign commercial that will run on local TV stations during the last week of the election campaign -- which is fast approaching.
The 29-second commercial hits all the major themes that have animated Sime's campaign, which began well over a year ago and has been taken throughout the sprawling district. This may be the first time in the history of Virginia electoral politics that a Libertarian candidate has aired a television ad, which is itself a credit to both Sime's ingenuity and his fundraising prowess.
Here's the ad, which has been posted to YouTube in advance of its broadcast debut:
A news release from the Sime campaign notes:
Those appearing in the commercial are:With fewer than 30 days left in the campaign for control of the Virginia General Assembly -- most pundits seem to agree that a Democratic takeover of the state Senate, if not the House of Delegates, is within reach -- you can be sure that the race in the 24th District will become more heated. It's nice that Arin Sime's advertising budget allows for light as well as heat.
Property Taxes: Tina and John Munchmeyer are homeowners in Crozet who express their displeasure with drastically rising property taxes.
Second Amendment: Skip Plitt and his son Austin are Albemarle County residents, as well as avid hunters and 2nd Amendment enthusiasts.
Educational Choice: Silvia Barrett is a homeschooling mom from the Earlysville area who is active in the homeschool movement.
Property Rights: Gerard Labrecque and his family live in Staunton, and were threatened with eminent domain in 2006 on a property he is renovating.
Family Farms: Sue and Guy Freesen own a farm in Staunton and regularly sell their meat at area farmer's markets around the 24th District. They are also active in organizations seeking to remove excessive regulations on family farms.
In the final scene, Mr. Sime is filmed at the Ashton Country House in Staunton, which is a recently re-opened Bed & Breakfast owned by his father-in-law Dick Chamberlain.

Charles Fuller's 1982 Pulitzer, Drama Critics Circle, Outer Critics Circle and Theatre Club award-winning drama, A Soldier's Play, returned to New York, Nov. 19, when it opened at Theatre Four Off-Broadway. The Valiant Theatre Company production is directed by Clinton Turner Davis, who replaced Al Freeman, Jr., early in rehearsals due to "artistic differences" between Freeman and the production staff. (Oddly, the opening date for the play was pushed UP a day from the 20th; usually, when a show makes a significant cast or tech change, the opening date is moved later to allow for extra rehearsal and preview time.)
In A Soldier's Play, a black sergeant investigates a murder in a southern army camp during World War II. The original Broadway cast included Samuel L. Jackson and Denzel Washington, who later starred in the 1984 film version, "A Soldier's Story," alongside Adolph Caesar and Howard Rollins, Jr. Performing in this Soldier's Play will be P.J. Brown, Robb Leigh Davis, Geoffrey C. Ewing, Cedric Harris, Wood Harris, Danny Johnson, Jonathan Peck, Sean Squire, Keith Randolph Smith, Barton Tinapp and Jonathon Walker. Sets and costumes are by Felix E. Cochren, lighting is by Dennis Parichy, sound is by Guy Sherman/Aural Fixation.
Charles Fuller's other plays developed through the Negro Ensemble Company were Zooman And The Sign, The Brownsville Raid and In The Deepest Part Of Sleep. Director Clinton Turner Davis has worked at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, Trinity Rep, Milwaukee Rep, and the current New Federal Theatre revival of August Wilson's Joe Turner's Come And Gone.
Founded in July 1995 by Herbert Beigel, Michael Murray and Edward Vassallo, the Valiant Theatre Company recently produced an Off-Broadway revival of Ionesco's The Rhinoceros and will next mount Michael Weller's new play, The Heart Of Art.
For tickets ($30-$40) and information on A Soldier's Story, call (212) 354-4660. -- By David Lefkowitz

"Bandstand: The Untold Story" author Stan Blitz is back with a new presentation at the Rio Grande Theatre, accompanied by New Mexico music legend George Tomsco, the founder of The Fireballs, the group that recorded the only number one hit song to come out of New Mexico, "Sugar Shack." On June 3, they will collaborate to educate the audience about the history of the popular radio and TV show "Bandstand" when it was hosted by Bob Horn, before it became "American Bandstand" with Dick Clark, and the history of New Mexico music. Tomsco will also perform a live solo of his song "Everybody Should Have Lived in the Fifties."
The first half of the show features Blitz in a "town hall" style program, where he will play clips of songs of the era, tell the story of "Bob Horn's Bandstand" and the controversy that swirled around its original host, then take questions from the audience. Writing a book about Horn and "Bandstand" has been a life-long crusade for Blitz. As a music-loving kid in Philadelphia, he always felt an injustice had been done to Horn and he felt that someday he would do what he could to set the record straight.
Blitz says of his book, "It's a piece of rock and roll history never been told before. You will not see it in 'Rolling Stone' magazine or any of these music publications. It's a true history by a purist: myself." He adds, "It's like 'Citizen Kane' about 'Bandstand'."
The second half of the presentation at the Rio Grande Theatre features George Tomsco. The Raton native will tell about his involvement with New Mexico's music scene, which revolved around Norman Petty Studios in Clovis. Petty, his wife, Vi, and Jack Vaughn formed the Norman Petty Trio in the early 1950s and had a big hit with "Mood Indigo," selling a half million copies. While Petty did quite well with his own music, he is best known for his recording studio and working with music legends such as Waylon Jennings, Roy Orbison, and Buddy Holly, as well as Jimmy Gilmer and the Fireballs with their hit song, "Sugar Shack."
The Fireballs formed in Raton in 1958, using their favorite song's title as inspiration to name their band: "Great Balls of Fire" by Jerry Lee Lewis. The Fireballs as originally formed included Tomsco on lead guitar, Chuck Tharp as the vocalist, Stan Lark on bass, Eric Budd on drums, and Dan Trammell on rhythm guitar. They had some top 40 hits such as "Torquay" in 1959, "Bulldog" the next year, and "Quite a Party" in 1961. But in the early 1960s, three of the members left the group and new member Jimmy Gilmer was the lead singer when they recorded their biggest hit, "Sugar Shack."
Tomsco has never stopped being a Fireball and the band has recorded and performed together, with some restructuring, since the 1950s. Tomsco also performs as a "solo Fireball" for events such as these. He again lives in Raton, after living in Clovis to be near the Norman Petty Studios for many years.
Blitz and Tomsco met in Albuquerque and found they had a mutual interest in music history. "The fact that The Fireballs had a number one record and the fact that it is the only official number one band record out of New Mexico, ever, that's pretty monumental. So, we just decided we should put the two things together," Tomsco says.
He and Blitz will collaborate on several presentations around the state, bringing the early days of rock and roll to life for music-loving audiences of any age.
There will be CDs, photos, and other merchandise available that evening, as well as Blitz's book, "Bandstand: The Untold Story." Tomsco will also have a newly released box set with four CDs of the Fireballs' early instrumentals and Chuck Tharp vocals. It's a brand-new release from Nor-Va-Jack Music. He'll also offer a book by Frank Blanas about The King of Clovis, Norman Petty.
The presentation is June 3 at 7 p.m., with doors opening at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $17, including all fees. The Rio Grande Theatre is located at 211 N. Main Street, Las Cruces, New Mexico, and is managed by the Doña Ana Arts Council. The theatre box office and Doña Ana Arts Council office are on the second floor of the theatre. Box office hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and one hour prior to show time. For more information or to purchase tickets online, go to www.riograndetheatre.com or call (575) 523-6403.

Welcome to the MSRS (Microsoft Robotics Studio) code page.
I have two X80 Robots, Tobor and Gelb.
This is what Gelb looks like. (Click on the picture for a larger view.)
X80 robots are manufactured by Dr.Robot, Inc. in Canada. They have Wireless Ethernet to connect back to a host computer. Onboard sensors include a pan and tilt camera, sonar, infra-red and of course wheel encoders.
I have a program to control an X80 using a PDA with WiFi. (See my X80 Home Page for details.) This was the first step in porting my code across to MSRS because it involved translating from unmanaged C++ under Visual Studio 2003 to managed C# under Visual Studio 2005 (the MSRS development environment).
A book titled "Professional Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio" will be available from Wrox press in June 2008. I co-authored this book with Kyle Johns from the Microsoft Robotics team. Included with the book is a lot of sample code that is available either from the ProMRDS home page or the Wrox home page.
This site contains code examples for use with the Microsoft Robotics Studio. I will continue to add to it over time. My ultimate objective is to provide a set of modules for use in an introductory Robotics Course. Note that the target audience is high school or undergraduate students with a limited amount of programming experience. Also, my interests are Computer Vision and SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping). This requires a fair amount of work.
Comments, feedback and suggestions are welcome. Please send e-mail to me using the address in the page footer. Some additional personal details are available below.
Please note that I cannot provide support for MSRS -- there are not enough hours in the day! You should use the Discussion Forums provided by Microsoft.
If you are interested in technical details, you are welcome to read my development notes for the Maze Simulator and Intro Program that I made while working on the code. These are just raw notes. At some stage I might extract the useful info and put it on a web page.
If you are new to MSRS, I suggest that you download the code below for the Maze Simulator, Intro Program and Explorer. Once you can get these programs running, you can start experimenting with the code.
The following software is continuously under development. I don't claim that this is wonderful code -- but it works!
The Maze Simulator and ExplorerSim have been updated
for a book written by myself and Kyle Johns. The new code is available
from the book web site:
The following version is now obsolete:
MSRS Apps 18-Jul-2007
This version was built with the version 1.5 release of MSRS. It is provided as a complete package with all of the services included. Please read the readme.txt for installation instructions.
My name is Trevor Taylor. I am an independent consultant working
in the field of Robotics Education in Brisbane, Australia.
My interests include Computer Vision and Robotics.

An Indian man from Kerala suffered multiple injuries when a pick-up truck rammed into his car on the Saadi road in the Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah (RAK) situated in United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The ill fated 34-year old Sandeep Vellaloor worked as a staff surveyor in the public works department of RAK. He was on his duty checking the aftermath of the recent showers when the pick-up truck hit his SUV.
On being alerted about the accident, RAK police immediately dispatched a traffic patrol, an ambulance, paramedics and rescue teams to the site. Vellaloor was trapped in the car and it took time to free him.
The injured man was taken to Sheikh Khalifa Specialty Hospital where he underwent scans, checkups and tests. He received injuries to his back, neck, leg and abdomen.
The injured man told a local daily that he will fly back to India for a week on sick leave and rest with his family.
Vellaloor, a father of two, is a resident of Thiruvananthapuram, the capital of the Indian state of Kerala. He has been working with the department of public works for over 12 years.

New Delhi: Minister of State for Home Affairs Kiren Rijiju on Monday rubbished the Congress criticism of the government over the Naga accord and said that the grand old party's version of the same on microblogging site Twitter was not right.
The Indian National Congress (INC) has on its Twitter handle posted a Press Information Bureau (PIB) report published on August 3, 2015, as saying 'PM witnesses signing of historic peace accord between Government of India and Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN)'.
In the same tweet, the Congress posted a written answer by Rijiju on March 1 in response to questions (a) & (b) in the Lok Sabha, which says, "Government of India has not signed any Naga Accord in recent years."
Rijiju, however, in his defence said, "The page that they have seen had some old draft, which is not our official version. I have got our official version checked, and according to that we have done a framework agreement with the Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN), which will work as a guiding principal in finding the final solution between India and Naga people."
And thus, the Congress Party's tweet is not correct, he added.
Rijiju further said that he has asked the concerned officials to provide the government's official version to the media and remove the old website content.
"The official paper is that that we have sent to the Lok Sabha, in which we have divulged information about our framework agreement with NSCN," he said.

Actor Mark Wahlberg considers himself the best white rapper-turned actor and has placed himself ahead of Grammy Award winner Eminem.
In an interview with Global Grind TV, the 42-year-old, who went by the name "Marky Mark", claimed to be the most successful white rapper-turned-actor, reports contactmusic.com.
"I'm the best white rapper-turned actor. Eminem did a great job in '8 Mile', but he only made one movie so I definitely have that title," said Wahlberg.
In 1991, Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch, US hip-hop group led by Wahlberg, released their single "Good Vibrations". The track was the lead song from their debut album, 'Music For The People', which reached no. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
It was three years later in 1994 that he made his big screen debut in Danny DeVito's comedy "Renaissance Man", however, his work was noticed only after he featured in "The Basketball Diaries", alongside Leonardo DiCaprio.

Deutsche Telekom's chief operating officer Hamid Akhavan is leaving the company to take over at Siemens Enterprise Communications (SEN). Akhavan becomes SEN's third manager in 18 months, replacing current CEO Mark Stone.
Akhavan joined Deutsche Telekom in 2001 as head of technology at its wireless unit T-Mobile. Earlier this year he moved to the position of COO following a reorganisation of the group, making him second in command behind chief executive Rene Obermann.
He is credited with turning T-Mobile into an innovative and modern business amid slowing growth at the wireless unit in Europe and increasing competition in the United States.
In 2007 he negotiated an exclusive deal with Apple to bring the iPhone to Germany and last September ensured T-Mobile USA was the first operator to offer a mobile that runs the Android operating platform.

OS X as a Forensic Platform SANS.edu Graduate Student Research
by David M. Martin - February 22, 2017
The Apple Macintosh and its OS X operating system have seen increasing adoption by technical professionals, including digital forensic analysts. Forensic software support for OS X remains less mature than that of Windows or Linux. While many Linux forensic tools will work on OS X, instructions for how to configure the tool in OS X are often missing or confusing. OS X also lacks an integrated package management system for command line tools. Python, which serves as the basis for many open-source forensic tools, can be difficult to maintain and easy to misconfigure on OS X. Due to these challenges, many OS X users choose to run their forensic tools from Windows or Linux virtual machines. While this can be an effective and expedient solution, those users miss out on the much of the power of the Macintosh platform. This research will examine the process of configuring a native OS X forensic environment that includes many open-source forensic tools, including Bulk Extractor, Plaso, Rekall, Sleuthkit, Volatility, and Yara. This process includes choosing the correct hardware and software, configuring it properly, and overcoming some of the unique challenges of the OS X environment. A series of performance tests will help determine the optimal hardware and software configuration and examine the performance impact of virtualization options.

European Parliament: MEPs call for educational choice
We are happy that the adopted resolution on "Modernisation of Education in the EU" contains key demands of our advocacy.
On 25th April 2018, the European Parliament's Committee on Culture and Education adopted its resolution on "Modernisation of Education in the EU". The rapporteur, MEP Krystina Lybacka, aimed to determine the new direction of education in the future. We are happy to report that the adopted text contains key demands of our advocacy such as freedom of parental school choice, public school funding and our call for an age-appropriate media education.
The draft report of January 2018 already put a strong emphasis on the holistic development of children as well as creativity and well-being but ideas like age-appropriate ICT and media pedagogy, freedom of parental school choice and public funding for non-profit schools were still missing. Together with our national members and European partners, we approached MEPs to promote changes in this regard.
One key achievement is a paragraph establishing the right to freedom of educational choice that calls for public school funding. Other interesting amendments include the notions of age- and development appropriate media education, more autonomy for schools regarding curricula and diversity in assessment.
ECSWE will closely follow the next steps and report on the European Parliament's plenary vote in June.

Greenwood Studio site on etsy.com to at least look upon the photos he takes with such care of his wonderful works. At the very least, for really what you should do is treat yourself, or someone you like a lot to one of his works.
And those pictures don't do the pieces justice. I can state that now, for now I am the holder of, ( I guess 'owner' is the right word but I am feeling a wee unworthy to claim ownership for I am only the caretaker and god-willing these cups will belong in the hands of many 'caretakers and appreciators' long after I am gone) four cups from Greenwood Studios as of today. It began with this one,
|(These three pics from Greenwood Studio)
here, if you care to hear my initial exclamations of total happy freak-out-ment.
Two of the new pieces certainly 'go with' the cup I fell so hard for, they too remind me of an old quarry that we used to skinny-dip in when I was a teen. they too have the colors, and depths and wetness, mossiness and rockiness that so endeared the little cup to me. I also treated myself to this little delight...
Deep bows of gratitude to Mr. McGuire. I can feel, and even smell him as I unwrap these cups, and he feels and smells good, and decent, and kind and full of an energy that travels from his studio in New York all the way to my suburban bungalow in Los Angeles!

Little Latrobe Street
Bordered by Elizabeth, Swanston, Latrobe and A'Beckett Streets. It runs east/west for just one city block.
Little Latrobe Street did not exist until the 1850s. It is situated within what was originally known as Section 37.
Bordered by Elizabeth, Swanston, Latrobe and A'Beckett Streets. It runs east/west for just one city block.
Little Latrobe Street did not exist until the 1850s. It is situated within what was originally known as Section 37.
According to pre-1851 records, almost all of the land in Section 37 was purchased by Albert Thoume Ozanne and Thomas Budds Payne in 1849.
By the early twentieth century the area was becoming more industrial, with cabinet makers and hawkers occupying several properties. Industrial development continued into the 1920s. In 1925 there were auto welders, engineers, motor radiator repair shop and the engravers Reading & Son all working in the street.
The names of Chinese occupants begin to appear in the lane from around 1900, about the same time, the names of European immigrants also start to appear. In 1915 the Greek newspaper proprietor Efstratius Venlis, occupied the premises at 54-56 .
There were seventeen properties clearly occupied by migrants, twelve of them Chinese and the remaining Greek and Italian.
The history of Melbourne's low-life in the city's lanes is still a part of the area's heritage. The Helping Hand Mission Society was the first of the philanthropic organisations in Little Latrobe Street.
The Salvation Army then took over the premises in 1910 as 'Salvation Army Elevator'. An Elevator, according to Salvation Army founder William Booth, was 'a combination of workshop, home and religious retreat'. The unemployed and homeless would be given work at an Elevator in various trades such as carpentry, rag-sorting or baking.
Many of Little Latrobe Street's original buildings are now gone, signs of its history do remain. The alleys running off the lanes on both sides are still being used, servicing both the buildings fronting Little Latrobe Street, Latrobe and A'Beckett Streets.
Cobblestoned alleys and some buildings dating from the 1920s still exist in the street. One erected in the 1920s was converted to a factory in 1938, then to a café in 1992, now houses a popular artists' supplies store.
Mark Thompson manufactured scientific instruments for over thirty years from the 1930s to the 1960s, which is today occupied by a café popular with RMIT University students.
The story of Little Latrobe Street is in many ways the story of Melbourne, it tells of the inner workings of the early settlement and the lives of the forgotten working classes running small businesses from simple brick buildings hidden in the back streets.
The city blocks have become particularly popular amongst Melbourne's artists and young people, including Little Latrobe Street, which are favourite sites amongst graffiti artists to create their constantly changing artworks.
It is difficult to safeguard these heritage sites in the ever-changing and constantly evolving modern metropolis that is Melbourne today.
Located between William & Swanston Street.
Off this street you can find Wills Street, which is located South of A'Beckett Street between William & Queen Streets.
Electric Place, which is on the North side of the street, stretching through to Franklin Street.
Within this stretch of Melbourne there are also unnamed lanes.
Between Queen & Elizabeth Street you can find Anthony Street plus a couple of unnamed lanes servicing various business.
Between Elizabeth & Swanston Streets unnamed lanes can be found North of A'Beckett Street. Closer to Swanston Street is Stewart Street.
Anthony & Stewart Streets both run South of Franklin Street but there are also unnamed lanes branching off both to the North & South. At the Eastern end, again to the South, you find Bowens Street.
In the block bounded by Russell, La Trobe, Victoria Street & Exhibition Streets you can find Bell Place and Mackenzie Street.
North of Franklin Street is Queen Street where I found one unnamed lane close to the Queen Victoria Market.

Oumou Sangaré melds Malian tradition and Parisian production
Oumou Sangaré
No Format!
World Music
Oumou Sangaré's 1990 debut album, Moussolou, challenged conservative Malian society with its brave statements on women's rights and sensuality, and here she reinvigorates her musical traditions with an exciting contemporary edge.
Bidding farewell to the prestigious World Circuit label, which produced her previous albums, and teaming up with crack Parisian producers, her lyrics of advisory social comment are now powered by guitar, bass and drums, as well as kamale ngoni and Malian percussion.
Oumou's Wassoulou tradition is still at the heart, but with extra muscle underpinning the compelling twists and turns of the vocal lines. It works superbly and nowhere better than on Yere Faga, where the sound of the legendary Tony Allen kicking in behind one of the greatest voices in African music is supremely satisfying.

New Talk on April 24th, 2013
Talk Announcement – Cocoon Seminar Series
Speaker: Dr. Paul Patras, National University of Ireland Maynooth, Co. Kildare, Ireland
Location: Rundeturmstraße 10, Building S3|20, room 111
Date: Wednesday, April 24th, 2:00 p.m.
Title: Harnessing Spectral Diversity for Mobile Access in Unlicensed Wireless Networks
As users increasingly prefer mobile devices for accessing the Internet, wireless networks that progressively exploit diverse unlicensed spectrum blocks are becoming an attractive alternative to cellular systems. This talk addresses the efficient evaluation and selection of the vast association options exposed by such wide-spectrum networks, where scanning-based or historical data-driven approaches become prohibitive. The talk will introduce a technique that infers channel quality and spectral usage from limited measurements collected in other bands and at previous locations, in order to select resources that optimise the performance objectives of mobile clients. Experimental results from a wide-spectrum testbed, spanning a spectral range of 5.085 GHz, will illustrate that this solution achieves significant throughput gains over fixed-band prioritisation and scanning-based practices.

INSPIRE @ IMSH2021 ALERT Presentation Submissions – Deadline to submit: 22 October, 2020
What is an ALERT presentation?
An ALERT (Advanced Look Exploratory Research Template) presentation is a 5 minute presentation that encapsulates either your new simulation-based research idea (as a new ALERT), or your progress in implementing an INSPIRE-based research project (as a progress report). The idea is to present the distilled essence of your study at an INSPIRE Meeting. The ALERT's are presented in this format back-to-back. Once the presentation is delivered you will be assigned a small table where you will discuss your project with up to 10 participants, receive feedback, and in turn have the opportunity to give feedback to others. Our ultimate goal is to give your team the feedback and networking you need to launch a successful single or multi-site study.
When should I submit an ALERT presentation?
Calls for ALERT presentations are offered in the fall (for the winter INSPIRE meeting at the International Meeting on Simulation in Healthcare [IMSH]) and in the winter (for the spring INSPIRE meeting at International Pediatric Simulation Symposia and Workshop [IPSSW]). If your ALERT is accepted, we will invite you to personally present your work, and will designate a block of time for discussion and networking. Please note that if you accept our invitation to present but later discover that you cannot attend the INSPIRE meeting, a representative may present on your behalf. If this occurs, please notify the INSPIRE Scientific Review Committee of the change. Feedback will be provided regardless of whether you can ultimately attend.
What format should I use for an ALERT presentation?
Please note that the ALERT slide template has been changed somewhat from past years. In an effort to be more inclusive of qualitative and mixed methods studies, the ALERT template has been modified to include BOTH the PICO framework for quantitative studies and the SPIDER framework, which is a modification of the PICO framework designed for qualitative research. The SPIDER framework is described in a paper here. When preparing your ALERT, simply pick the framework that best fits your study. Examples of completed ALERT presentations using the PICO and SPIDER frameworks are included below. In order to provide a better understanding of the ALERT process we have also created an ALERT Instruction Template to assist you in preparing to submit and to present should your ALERT be accepted.
Please download and use the following 2020 ALERT Templates:
- 2021 INSPIRE ALERT General Template. This template should be used for new ALERT submissions. Pick PICO or SPIDER format and delete the other.
- 2021 INSPIRE ALERT Progress Template. This template should be used for those submitting an update on a previous ALERT
For more detailed information regarding the INSPIRE network, engagement with an existing project, and the overall scientific review process, please view this resource.
Once complete, please submit your ALERT online by 22 October, 2020. You should receive a response within 4 weeks of submission. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact the INSPIRE Scientific Review Committee at the same address.

The fashion editor of Harper's Bazaar Australia, Christine Centenera is known for her stylish outfits, having been photographed on her unique street style looks. Her outfits are so sexy and sophisticated keeping a keen eye for details and donning anything from studs and metal detailing to patent leather. Whether you wish for an architectural style of outfits or monochromatic dressing head-to-toe, keep on reading to get some style cues from Christine and learn how to dress like a fashion editor.
Some women tend to dress depending on their moods in the morning, while some figured out their overall outfits a night before. When building your outfit for a day, you may want to start with one essential piece and work from there. According to Christine, she generally starts with one piece she wants to wear — mainly shoes — and builds from that. The Harper's Bazaar's fashion editor loves classic pumps and boots, for where she dresses up her structured dress with black classic pumps, and adds some edge with her military-inspired outfit with boots. For a sexy yet edgy style, resort to peep toe or cut-out style of boots in neutral shades keeping it elegant and chic for your fashion style.
Fashion editors have a deep appreciation for art, architecture, and style mirrored in their street style outfits. Like Christine, you may think of building an architectural outfit with your structured ensembles with sharp edges like a tulip skirt, ruffled skirt, military coat, asymmetrical crop top, and even a sailor blazer. Pay attention to their architectural structures and silhouettes that look stiffer and more prominent. Wool fabrics and neoprene are stiffer over chiffon and lace that you may wish to go for. Christine is a fan of neutral shades that keeps her outfit classy and sophisticated.
Christine is also a fan of classic prints and patterns. Like her, you may think of mixing your plaid ensembles in different shades for a coordinated look, and just top your outfit with a structured blazer to give some polish to your style. Abstract prints and patterns can be great too as long as you wear them with muted and neutral shades like Christine always does. This way, you'll keep the statement bold and clear without interfering to other flashy shades and loud prints.
Christine knows how to dress monochromatically in an interesting and stylish way. Whether she does unexpected layers in a one shade of color, or contrast fabrics in similar hues, the outcome of her outfit always looks polished and sleek. Like her, you may layer a coat that is one shade darker than your dress and pair it with a complementary shade of your boots. Adding a hint of gray or metallic silver on your all-white outfit looks great too without compromising your monochromatic theme.
Show off your artistic side with unexpected layers like Christine did. A coat with a dress may be enough, but the fashion editor made her outfit more stylish by wearing a pair of metallic leggings and lace-up heels with it. If you think a maxi dress is enough, Christine made her outfit creative by wearing a pair of flared pants with it. Indeed, fashion editors are ones with unique sense of styles and creative looks that worth a glance. So, be inspired by Christine and dress like a fashion editor.

Periodically, I sit down with myself and think about what I really want to do. And one of the things I invariably say to myself is, I would like to blog regularly again. Even though blogging as we knew it is 5-6 years (or more) gone, and my old blogroll is mostly just a historical document, I still like the idea of blogging. Because I like the idea of writing. So every few weeks (months), I come back here and post something. Just enough to make me think I can justify paying my web host when renewal comes around again. And it always has that "Hello, World" feel to it, especially when the time between posts is really extended. A while back I decided to walk down my blogroll and see if any were still active. A few were, but most had either sat idle for a long, long time, with a last post hanging out there for several years, or were completely gone, drowned in the increasingly shallow pool that is Facebook/Twitter/Tumbler/whatever.
So why suddenly show up and post something again? Well – Mars. I was listening to a program about Mars, private spaceflight, and one-way missions. Especially one-way missions. They were discussing the many and varied problems that will have to solved for a successful Mars mission to happen, the personality profiles, all the supplies that will have to be taken along, the fact that in the entire history of space travel, while we've launched things of many sizes and configurations, we've never landed anything of the size that will be required to carry all that stuff. We've never even thought about how to land something like that. I thought about the medical issues that might come up, that there will need to be someone who can handle medical emergencies like broken bones and joint injuries, not to mention heart attacks. And then I thought about something that I've never seen or heard discussed. At some point, you're going to have someone develop a condition, like cancer, that won't be treatable with whatever medical facility and supplies there will be on Mars, but will be painful and debilitating. In other words, something that will be fatal, but will also be too much to live with. And somewhere in the medical supplies, there will have to be a planned method of suicide. As a society, we will have to embrace the notion that officially-assisted suicide is acceptable. It may well be that the plans for this are already in place. It's not so different from the idea of a mission during he Apollo days going bad and marooning astronauts in space. But in some ways it is different. There would be no compromised facility, no dwindling air supply. Just someone who has no hope of a cure, and a remaining lifetime of pain or severe, deteriorating disability. And we'll have to allow, and assist, that person to end their life, on whatever terms they think best.
