Clarkson University's Robinson Chair-elect of College of Fellows of American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering
[A photograph for media use is available at http://www.clarkson.edu/news/photos/robinsonc.jpg]
Clarkson University Professor Charles J. Robinson has been elected chair-elect of the College of Fellows of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE).
Robinson is the director of Clarkson's Center for Rehabilitation Engineering, Science and Technology and the Herman L. Schulman chair in Rehabilitation Engineering. Robinson helped to form AIMBE and served in 1992 in the group of inaugural fellows.
Out of the approximately 80,000 engineers, scientists, clinicians and professionals in the USA that collectively deal with the various aspects of medical and biological engineering, fewer than 1,000 have been named AIMBE Fellows. These bioengineering leaders have distinguished themselves through their contributions in research, industrial practice and/or education.
AIMBE's College of Fellows is comprised of true trailblazers -- men and women who drive change and innovation across a field that has made medical procedures less invasive and more effective, saving lives and improving daily life all around the world.
"To be selected as chair-elect of this august group is a singular honor," says Robinson.
The fellows work daily throughout the technical and management spheres of medicine, academia, industry and government - leading the way in technological advancement, advocating for public policies that facilitate further progress and preparing young scientists and engineers to build on that progress in the decades to come.
Over the years, AIMBE Fellows have been at the leading edge of technological development, helping to revolutionize medicine, engineering and related fields that enhance and extend the lives of people all over the world. Counting several Nobel Prize winners among them, their work also helps protect the environment, leads to new national security safeguards and contributes to a better society in many other ways.
His latest research is on the mechanisms of falls in the elderly and in diabetics and amputees, on advanced neural engineering nanosensor measurement techniques to determine the neurochemical events that occur during and after a cerebral stroke, and on devices to quantify Parkinsonian tremor.
Robinson received his bachelor of science degree from the Franciscan University of Steubenville, his master of science from Ohio State University and his doctor of science from Washington University. He has also been with the U.S. Dept of Veterans Affairs for more than 27 years and was the first VA Senior Rehabilitation Research Career Scientist to be selected in the country.
Clarkson University crosses the boundaries of disciplines, nations and cultures in order for discovery, engineering innovation and enterprise to come together. As a result, faculty and graduates grasp the full impact of their calling, direct their research to the world's pressing issues and lead with confidence and distinction. One in seven alumni is already a CEO or other senior executive. Located in Potsdam, N.Y., just outside the six-million-acre Adirondack Park, Clarkson is home to 3,000 students preparing for rewarding careers through 50 rigorous programs of study in engineering, business, arts, science, and health sciences, as well as unparalleled outdoor recreation and life experiences beyond the classroom.

2002 Domaine Marc Kreydenweiss Gewürztraminer Kritt - France, Alsace, Eichhoffen (5/4/2006)
A pleasant, well-mannered Gewurztraminer. It shows all the classic aromas (rose, lychee, pineapple), but it's not overpowering in the mouth, and it's not too sweet. With air time it gains some body, and it is quite drinkable. We had it with a subtly marinated chicken, and it did not overpower the food at all, but complemented it. Good stuff, especially for the $20 or so it cost me. (88 pts.)

3. The 4th dimension (spacetime) costs extra.
I googled Yukon outfitters to find some reviews, but could not find any. Does anyone have some more information?
I found a fancy hammock which is pricier but also has a bug net. I think if you camp it should be a must.
I'd not use this where the night time temp gets around 45 degrees... there is no insulation under your sleeping bag and your rear end (and back) can get pretty cold. Mr friend were at Outdoor Retailers a few years ago and bought 2 hammocks like this (very expensive). Coldness is what they complained about. We nick named them, "Bear Burritos". Manufacture did not want to use that name for some reason.
I've been very happy with my ENO. Assuming similar quality here, this is a good deal. If it came with mosquito netting topper it would be an instant In For Three. The problem with hammocks is that if it's warm enough to sleep in one, it's warm enough for mosquitos.
So technically this hammock comes complete with the included "Bear Burrito?" - nothing like old fashioned Woot nom noms
Also, is this woodland critter friendly?
Perfect for the upcoming doomsday! Zombies cannot see green.
At first glance, I assumed Woot! was selling some sort of giant green banana. Perhaps a plantain, even.
gideonfrost wrote:Protip: If you're buying this as a gift for your girlfriend(fiancee) make sure you aren't signed in to her Woot account. It turns out Woot sends an email to the owner of the account. Thanks for ruining Christmas Woot!
The Grinch says two things:
1) Don't use you Girlfriends accounts to buy gifts for her.
2) Dear GF: I hope he's spending more than $19.99 +S&H on your XMas prezzie. If not, are you cute?
It's weird sleeping in one of these!
These are great! Bought two! I have an eno single one from rei(pricey $60). I also bought the eno tree straps that are basically webbing with loops in them around $25(pricey again). But worth it if you don't want to make your own.
arevan wrote:I kind of want to know how easy and quick this would be to wrap around two trees.
If you can manufacture some webbing that is the appropriate weight rating with loops in it(butterfly knots or your preference) then an easy cheap way to do that. I'm sure the hammock doesn't come with straps to mount.
Here are $20 straps from rei:
I have an eno single hammock and those straps and I can put it up in about 1 minute. note that enos come with carabiners. I think this one may come with some or some type of hook. From seeing the picture.
thank you
sheriff92 wrote:you ruined it yourself. how does woot know that someone other than the account holder is on and ordering a gift for "themselves" and know not to send a confirmation email... even if they didnt send it she would have been able to see whats bought and shipping from her account tab.
next time you buy a gift for someone, go under your account and problem solved
I did some searching too, no yukon outfitters to be found. I still bought one because it's a good gamble. A decent hammock can't be had for less than $30 unless you're willing to make it yourself. The hours of labor would add up to over $30 worth anyway.
do i need a stand?
Definitely Specs please, including country of manufacture.
I generally like to know where my product is being made. Sometimes that "great" deal isn't so great depending on mfg quality, location, etc.

Thanks for the early morning pre-caffeine laugh!
cluffy wrote:A decent hammock can't be had for less than $30 unless you're willing to make it yourself. The hours of labor would add up to over $30 worth anyway.
That's quite true. I have been 4-season hammock camping for 8 or 9 years now, and have made all of mine. It takes me about 2 hours to make a hammock (ZHammock design - Google it). But in my case, no Chinese person was woefully underpaid in the process (hint: I'm not Chinese).
Thanks to those that have recommended using webbing straps around the trees, I hope nobody ever uses rope around trees with a hammock, as it can easily damage the trees you're hanging from.
how do you hang the hammock?
Will this hold two people if it is called a double hammock?
Bought similar on woot, hammock sleeping is great. You'll need to make a couple straps to wrap around trees. If this is i gift, i hope it is not labeled on the box like my t-fal rice cooker. Xmas spoiled, rats.
$20 for a floating hammock? That's a great deal.
Holy underpaid members of the Party, Mei Lan!
I have many Hammocks and this was my first. Some things to consider if you are a serious hammock camper, or even if you just want to set it up in the back yard.
Get a good suspension system
The straps that come with it stretch quite a bit and won't hold if you're over 200 pounds. The first night that I used it, they stretched so much that I woke up laying on the ground. There are several types that work well.
1. Whoopie Slings - Best choice. I like the name and make setup a breeze.
2. The Slap Strap - a cheaper alternative, but you'll still get the stretching from the cord that comes with, so you'll have to consider that. http://www.eaglesnestoutfittersinc.com/product/ST001.html
Get a ridge line:
A tarp ridge line will allow you to cover yourself with a tarp, so that you're out of the elements. I've slept in downpours while the tenting folks were laying in water. This will also help you determine the best pitch for your hammock every time.
Learn to tie knots:
Many knots will come in handy to make it easier and allow you to deal with various setups. "knot" all trees are made alike
This list is not all-inclusive.

Happy Camping
Are these from the hammock district?
Hank Scorpio: Uh, hi, Homer. What can I do for you?
Homer: Sir, I need to know where I can get some business hammocks.
Hank Scorpio: Hammocks? My goodness, what an idea. Why didn't I think of that? Hammocks! Homer, there's four places. There's the Hammock Hut, that's on third.
Homer: Uh-huh.
Hank Scorpio: There's Hammocks-R-Us, that's on third too. You got Put-Your-Butt-There.
Homer: Mm-Hmm.
Hank Scorpio: That's on third. Swing Low, Sweet Chariot... Matter of fact, they're all in the same complex; it's the hammock complex on third.
Homer: Oh, the hammock district!
Hank Scorpio: That's right.
If your Christmas is ruined because you were signed into the wrong account or the box comes labled (and no one ever reuses boxes) so one recipient knows what s/he is getting as a gift from one person, you have either serious emotional issues or have lived a blessed life.
Because we share the same hobby, my husband and I see the same sites and are on the same discussion groups. It is not unheard of for one or the other to figure out what we're getting for Christmas as our anniversary is so close to the big day that we discuss our joint 'gift' to each other and one of us has to own up to having bought the whatever for the other partner already. Doesn't ruin Christmas, anniversary or his birthday (all falling within a month of each other).
The dimensions are under the specs tab. I'm not sure if they were added and no-one bothered to mention it, or they were there all along?
11' 6" Long x 6' 4" Wide
21 Ounces
For someone with more than 100 woots, this seems like a no-brainer.
Protip: It's your responsibility to know which account you're signed into, not Woot!'s.
Protip: Read the rest of the comments. He was joking.
I also started out with a hammock like this, and still use it for summer lounging; it's a great hammock. It definitely comes with two 'S' hooks, they are permanently attached to each end.
A cheap and very easy suspension system can be made by taking, for example, a 16 foot length of rope, folding it in half so that you have a double 8 foot length, and then tying a series of granny knots in the halved rope. You now have one side of your suspension system. Wrap the rope around the tree, and through one of the loops created by the knots, and then hang your 'S' hook on the knot at the appropriate length. Repeat for the other side. Using this method you can put your hammock up in about 1-2 minutes flat. These ropes be folded up and stored in the hammock stuff sack, no problem.
I know what they say about ropes; hopefully this type of system is not included in that, as I have never seen any tree damage from doing it this way. Hey, I love trees, and if I thought I was hurting trees, I wouldn't do it this way, but I also have a strap suspension system for a much more expensive camping hammock, and I don't see any difference with doing it this way.
Again, great hammock, and if you want a mosquito net, you can use the ENO Guardian, or rig your own. With a hiking tarp, such as the Kelty Noah's tarp, you have an awesome warm weather camping setup. But just on its own, this is a great lounging, napping hammock. Guaranteed to be super comfortable.
[If you don't understand my explanation of the rope tying, let me know and I will try to make it clearer]

Here's some straps to go with the hammock.
Buyer beware:
Before ordering I suggest some research on their web site. Google this:
aliexpress scam
ordered one. looks a ton like the ENO double nest that I stayed in for a long weekend a while back!
As a hammock lover (I own a few Trek Light double hammocks from Deals.Woot) there's a lot of concerns.
90 day warranty?
The fact that Woot just created a new hammock 'brand' by going to China and getting hammocks made as cheap as possible just for this deal is the biggest deal killer for me. You'll have no access to customer support (not anyone knowledgeable about the hammock anyways), community, or as others have mentioned - no accessories like hanging straps, mosquito nets or other add-ons.
The Trek Light Doubles are ~$50 or less when they're on sale - I've had nothing but good experience with them and the company itself (there's a 3 year warranty and mine's had no issues). For $20-$30 more, I'd much rather have something that I know is comfortable, will last and has a wide range of compatible accessories. My 2 cents.
Not so much of a deal... It is $19 pretty much every where I went while trying to find reviews. But you won't be loosing any money.
About the size of my DIY hammock which I sleep in every night and about the cost too, so a good deal if you like the color which for camping is also good. For hammock questions may I suggest Hammockforums.net and a book on amazon entitled "The Ultimate Hang". Those and a bunch of youtube videos by Shug Emery will answer all of your hammock questions. I got rid of my bed where I would wake up every hour, find a new position and try to get back to sleep and replaced it with the hammock where I sleep all night. The hammock cost 25 bucks where my Sleep comfort was thousands PLUS when I'm done in the morning, I wrap my hammock up and store it freeing up all the room that normally is occupied by the bed.
This is an inexpensive way to test out the Hammock life. Remmember, hammocks are one of the things Christopher Columbus brought back from the 'New World'.
The specifications on the sale specs have been added:
· Weight: 21 ounces
· Measures: 11ft 6in (long) x 6 ft 4in (wide)
· Supports up to 350 pounds
· High-strength parachute nylon
· Includes S-hooks for easy hanging
· 3x stitching at weight bearing points
· Attached stuff sack for easy storage
· Mildew resistant
· Quick-dry nylon

I also discovered this issue my son told me he was getting notifications of my woot purchases and some of them were gifts for him. I went into my account and could not find his email address anywhere in my account info so therefore I do not know how to stop the email notices to him.
What would be the best way to say, hang this inside of a cubicle.

I have been marveling at the level of hysteria, loathing and fear manifested in the Democratic Party's fundraising emails, of which I get several every day. (I can only imagine how many actual Democrats receive.) To say that their tone is both low-class and panic-stricken would be an understatement. This one, received today from Adam Broder, Research Director of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, is a classic:
John —
The Republicans are in all-out attack mode against President Obama this week. No surprise.
But here's what you should know: They're pulling out all the stops to fire up their right-wing donors because Friday is the most important fundraising deadline yet.
Big Oil billionaire David Koch was even given access to the convention floor yesterday!
I have said before that liberals blurt out references to the Koch brothers at random intervals, as though they suffer from Tourette's Syndrome. But this is even dumber than usual, or else more mendacious than usual; take your pick.
Research Director Broder needs to do a little more research: David Koch is a delegate to the convention from the State of New York. So of course he was "given access to the convention floor yesterday," along with all of the other delegates.
Could the Democratic Party be any more pathetic? It continues to define itself as the party of the stupid and the utterly clueless.

Rule #1: Load detailed atomic data into dimensional structures.
Dimensional models should be populated with bedrock atomic details to support the unpredictable filtering and grouping required by business user queries. Users typically don't need to see a single record at a time, but you can't predict the somewhat arbitrary ways they'll want to screen and roll up the details. If only summarized data is available, then you've already made assumptions about data usage patterns that will cause users to run into a brick wall when they want to dig deeper into the details. Of course, atomic details can be complemented by summary dimensional models that provide performance advantages for common queries of aggregated data, but business users cannot live on summary data alone; they need the gory details to answer their ever-changing questions.
Rule #2: Structure dimensional models around business processes.
Business processes are the activities performed by your organization; they represent measurement events, like taking an order or billing a customer. Business processes typically capture or generate unique performance metrics associated with each event. These metrics translate into facts, with each business process represented by a single atomic fact table. In addition to single process fact tables, consolidated fact tables are sometimes created that combine metrics from multiple processes into one fact table at a common level of detail. Again, consolidated fact tables are a complement to the detailed single-process fact tables, not a substitute for them.
Rule #3: Ensure that every fact table has an associated date dimension table.
The measurement events described in Rule #2 always have a date stamp of some variety associated with them, whether it's a monthly balance snapshot or a monetary transfer captured to the hundredth of a second. Every fact table should have at least one foreign key to an associated date dimension table, whose grain is a single day, with calendar attributes and nonstandard characteristics about the measurement event date, such as the fiscal month and corporate holiday indicator. Sometimes multiple date foreign keys are represented in a fact table.

Cocoa swung between gains and losses in London as investors weighed improving prospects for the smaller of two annual crops in Ivory Coast, the world's largest producer, and declining exchange stockpiles. Sugar fell to the lowest in more than 2 1/2 years.
Cocoa inventories with a valid grading certificate in warehouses monitored by NYSE Liffe were 43,020 metric tons as of Jan. 7, down more than 50% in the past year. NYSE Liffe will update the figures later this week. Rabobank International cut its cocoa price forecasts last week, citing a better outlook for the Ivorian crop. Still, 2012-13 global output will fall about 3% to 3.91 million tons, said Macquarie Group Ltd.
"The expected 3% fall in this season's output should be manageable due to the large carried-over stock from the last two seasons' surpluses and poor demand," Kona Haque, an analyst at Macquarie in London, said in a report e-mailed today. "Certified stocks on Liffe are still trending lower and if we were to get another fall next season, it would be harder to manage and would lead to lower stocks."
Cocoa for March delivery was 0.1% higher at 1,483 pounds ($2,347) a ton by the close on NYSE Liffe in London. It gained as much as 0.7% and lost as much as 0.5% earlier today. ICE Futures U.S. in New York, where cocoa trades in dollars, was closed for Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Raw sugar and arabica coffee also trade on ICE.
Indian Harvest
Cocoa for March delivery last traded 3 pounds a ton above the futures for May, a market structure known as backwardation that may signal limited supplies. The March contract switched to being more expensive on Jan. 17, raising concerns that traders may try to take delivery when the March contract on NYSE Liffe expires on March 13 amid low stockpiles.
Cocoa processing in Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia climbed 2.8% in the fourth quarter to 155,237 tons from the same period a year earlier, the Cocoa Association of Asia in Singapore said on its website today.
White, or refined, sugar for March delivery fell 0.4% to $489.80 a ton on NYSE Liffe, after earlier touching $489.50, the lowest for a most-active contract since July 2010.
India's sugar harvest "is unexpectedly ahead of last year's progress, although growers in Maharashtra may have been tempted to push hard early to rescue what they could of a poor crop," Tom McNeill, a director at Green Pool Commodity Specialists Pty in Brisbane, Australia, said in a report e- mailed today.
Robusta coffee for March delivery fell 0.3% to $1,970 a ton in London.

Secretary of State Kurt Browning, Florida's chief elections official, will soon step down from his post, according to a highly-placed source in Tallahassee.
Browning was reappointed to the post by Gov. Rick Scott after holding the same post in Charlie Crist's administration, and before that he served for 26 years as supervisor of elections in Pasco County. His home county has been abuzz with speculation that Browning is considering going home to run for county school superintendent, in which he would challenge Superintendent Heather Fiorentino in a Republican primary.
Browning has declined to respond to questions about his future. His spokesman, Chris Cate, said Monday: "The secretary has not had any discussions with Governor Scott about a resignation; nor has the secretary offered a letter of resignation at this time."
It's expected that Browning will stay on through the Jan. 31 presidential preference primary in Florida to ensure a smooth transition to a successor, who will oversee a closely-watched presidential election and a busy reapportionment year in Florida.

About This Artwork
Charles Demuth
American, 1883–1935
...And the Home of the Brave, 1931
Oil and graphite on fiber board
74.8 × 59.7 cm (29 1/2 × 23 1/2 in.)
Alfred Stieglitz Collection, gift of Georgia O'Keeffe, 1948.650
Charles Demuth's still lifes and architectural studies display astonishing technical skill and testify to the refinement with which he manipulated abstract design. In his paintings of the early 1930s, the artist often interpreted structures in his hometown of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Obviously not a literal representation of that location , . . . And the Home of the Brave—with its compressed and discontinuous space, emphasis on two- dimensional patterns, and rearrangement of observed facts into a new pictorial reality—is derived from Cubism. The accent on American urban and commercial forms acknowledges Demuth's roots: specifically, the double water towers at the apex of the composition are adapted from those atop a Lancaster cigar factory, while the number 72 at the lower edge of the painting refers to a state highway—the Manheim Pike—running north from town. Demuth derived the title from the last line of "The Star-Spangled Banner," which was adopted as the national anthem in 1931, the year in which he executed the painting. The ambiguity suggested by the title is characteristic of the artist's ironic temperament. Like other American artists and intellectuals of the early twentieth century, he was simultaneously attracted to the vitality of contemporary civilization and the beauty and power of the machine, and conflicted about the inhuman aspects and utilitarian coarseness of the expanding industrial landscape of the United States.

GREENVILLE, Ill. – Greenville College's historic Robert E. "Ish" Smith Field received a measurable upgrade on Wednesday afternoon with the implementation of six NCAA-standard light fixtures that will illuminate play in 2012.
"This is an exciting time for the college and for Panther baseball," noted head coach and former GC standout athlete Lynn Carlson. "It truly is the mark of new era for us and we look forward to putting this enhancement to good use."
The new installment features four 80ft outfield poles that boast 50 foot-candles' of coverage and two 70ft poles that will brighten the Panther infield with a 70 foot-candle beam. All inserted fixtures will operate under NCAA specification compliance.
Dedicated to Greenville's ninth president on October 12, 1985, Robert E. Smith Field is one of the best accommodations found in the St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. The park is located next to the college's Francis Fields (football and soccer fields) in the John M. Strahl Athletic Complex only one mile south of the GC campus.
"This is a win-win for athletics and academics," added Greenville College athletic director Doug Faulkner. "The opportunity to play night games reduces academic conflicts for athletes and enhances the overall student-athlete experience."
The Greenville College Athletic Department and GC baseball will first utilize the field additions in the fall of 2012 and will continue spring play as scheduled. The club will next travel to Elsah, Ill. on Friday, April 13 and begin the first of a three-game set against Principia College. Following Friday night's tilt, the club will return home to Robert E. Smith field on Saturday and host PC in an afternoon pair to wrap up the SLIAC series.

CyberPower Gamer Xtreme 1000 SE Review
If you frequently read articles here at OCC, you've probably built all the computers you own. I'll even go as far as saying you've probably also helped friends and family build computers, or you've built rigs for them. The reason is simple — it is usually way more cost effective, and fun, to build a computer yourself as opposed to purchasing a prebuilt model. Let's face it, we've all, at one point or another, ogled over one of Origin's high end gaming machines, then immediately after gone to Newegg to configure it ourselves. What do we usually find out? That the prebuilt system is extraordinarily overpriced! This in itself usually turns computer enthusiasts away from purchasing prebuilt machines. But what would you do if you found a prebuilt machine that had the hardware you wanted and the build charge was small or seemingly non-existent? I have a feeling that most people, especially in today's economy, would go for the prebuilt machine. Unless of course, they really want to build the computer themselves.
Today we will be taking a look at a prebuilt gaming machine from CyberPower, the CyberPower Gamer Xtreme 1000 SE. This computer is equipped with the popular i5 2500K Sandy Bridge CPU, which has been paired with a Z68 motherboard from ASUS. It also utilizes 8GB of Kingston HyperX DDR3 1600 memory and a 1GB GTS 560 from eVGA. The processor is kept cool by a 120mm Asetek self-contained liquid cooler, and the entire package is held together in a Cooler Master HAF 912 case. Last but not least, the computer is equipped with a Blu-ray drive and 1TB of storage space. The MSRP of the Gamer Xtreme 1000 SE is $999, which right away seems like a very fair price. However, I intend to find out if we can build the same computer from Newegg for less money. Once that's been done, we'll put this rig through the OCC benchmark suite to see how it stacks up against the OCC test beds. But first, let's take a closer look at the CyberPower Gamer Xtreme 1000 SE!
Closer Look:
Safely shipping an entire computer can be difficult to do, so I was interested to see how CyberPower did it, as well as how well its shipping methods worked. The computer arrived in one giant box that was stuffed with a fair amount of foam. Removing the foam revealed two more boxes, the HAF 912 box and the ASUS P8Z68-V LX motherboard box. The HAF 912 box contained the Gamer Xtreme 1000 SE, while the P8Z68-V LX box contained all the included accessories. The Gamer Xtreme 1000 SE was covered in a large plastic bag and wedged between two large pieces of foam.
Once all the packaging has been removed, we can see that the CyberPower Gamer Xtreme 1000 SE has been completely assembled. Not only that, but aside from the Windows 7 Key located on the side of the computer, there was absolutely nothing stating that this machine was manufactured by CyberPower. I was a little surprised to see this, but at the same time I thought it was nice that they left the case clean. Looking at the computer's front, we can see that the top 5.25" drive bay is occupied by the Blu-ray drive, while the bottom 5.25" bay is occupied by a card reader. Taking a look at the back of the computer shows us that the Gamer Xtreme 1000 SE has enough ports to make any user happy. The right side of the case is almost completely bare, with the exception of the Windows 7 key. The left side of the case was completely bare save for a fan and a note taped to it. This note let us know that there was still more packaging that needed to be removed from the inside of the computer.
Removing the side panel reveals a blue quick foam bag, which kept the GTX 560 safe and secure during transit. Removing this gave us our first glimpse of the Gamer Xtreme 1000 SE's wire management, which was very nice and clean. I was actually very impressed because it showed that CyberPower puts time and care into its machines. In other words, the exact opposite of what you can expect from many other computer manufacturers.
Since we've got the side panel off, I thought we might as well take a closer look at all the CyberPower Gamer Xtreme 1000 SE's components as well. The first thing that caught my eye was the Asetek liquid cooler that should quietly and efficiently cool the i5 2500K processor. Speaking of silence, CyberPower also used the Cooler Master Silent Pro 700W PSU, which is located at the bottom of the case. Continuing our sporadic movement between components, we can see the machine's sole HDD, a 1TB Seagate Barracuda located at the case's front. Moving back up toward the Asetek liquid cooler, we can see the Gamer Xtreme 1000 SE's 8GB of DDR3 1600 Kingston HyperX memory.
Before we move on, we should probably also take a look at the computer's GPU and ODD. The Gamer Xtreme 1000 SE is equipped with a 1GB GTX 560 from eVGA. This, of course, occupies the ASUS P8Z68-V LX's first PCIe x 16 slot. As we were able to see from looking at the computer's outside, the Asus 12X Blu-ray drive is located in the first 5.25" drive bay. Directly under it, in the bottom 5.25" drive bay, is a multi-card reader.
Before we move on to the included accessories, I'd like to briefly look at the Gamer Xtreme 1000 SE's wire management. As I stated before, I was impressed with the job CyberPower did. Almost every wire connected to the motherboard, with a few exceptions, was neatly tucked behind the motherboard tray. The wires that weren't located behind the tray were kept neatly out of the way of the HAF 912's airflow.
As previously stated, all the Gamer Xtreme 1000 SE's included accessories and documentation were located in the ASUS P8Z68-V LX's motherboard box. Inside this box we have all the driver CDs and user guides that came with the components used to create the Gamer Xtreme 1000 SE. Along with an OS disk, there were also two bags containing extra cables, expansion slot covers, and brackets. It was nice to see that CyberPower included everything that came with the parts. This was definitely something else that I was not expecting!
Now that we've seen what makes this baby tick, let's compare it to building our own computer!

50 pound strength Dacron line is ideal for these Dowel Series kites.
All the construction details for the bridle are contained in the large photo below. Look and read carefully, and you can't go wrong on this rather important bit!
If you are new to this, you might need instructions on how to tie the following knots...
Loop Knot
Double Wrap Slip Knot
Prusik Knot
TIP: Secure the slip knots onto the dowels with enough wood glue to ensure the knots can never slip along the dowel. They won't loosen either.
Once your kite + bridle looks like the photo up there...
Hold the short bridle line up so all the bridle lines are straight, with the kite laying flat on the table or floor.
Make sure the Prusik knots closest to the kite are adjusted to the middle. Right over the vertical spar.
Referring to the diagram below, shift the highest Prusik knot to the shown position. It's not necessarily the perfect
position for your individual kite, but it should at least fly on the
first attempt! Later, you can experiment with shifting the position towards or away from the nose, a little at a time, to improve how high your kite flies.
Make up a flying line and attach it to the bridle with a Lark's Head Knot. See the photo over there, where the Lark's Head has been left loose.
Check the bridle slip knots on the horizontal spars.
Re-tighten if necessary, or put a small drop of wood glue on each so
they can never come loose. You won't have to wait the full drying time
for this glue to dry, since the amounts are small.
Firstly, if it's very windy outside, stay home! This is a light-wind kite and won't like being launched in a gale or even a fairly fresh breeze. If the wind is too strong, it will deform badly and refuse to fly properly.
Rokkaku kite stories of my real-life flying experiences are worth checking out!
Illustrated with photos and videos, of course.
The Prusik Knot on the bridle line can loosen off a little over time. If necessary, pull on all the lines to tighten the knot up before a flying session.
Assuming there is some breeze outside, just dangle the kite at arm's length until the wind catches it. As long as you feel the kite pulling, let out line slowly by taking loop after loop off the winder.
Be cautious about letting line slip through your fingers. If a big gust hits the kite, the line could burn you! For any kite this big or bigger, it's a good idea to wear a glove of some sort.
Another approach is to get a helper to hold the kite up and let it go, on the end of 10 or 20 meters of line. This way, the kite soon gets high enough to make it easy to let more line out.
Have fun flying, and I hope you've enjoyed learning how to make a Rokkaku kite!
The e-book instructions for this kite include even more handy hints which will ensure you get the most success possible when flying this particular design. They show you how to make the kite more transportable too, so you can remove a spar and roll the kite up into a slim bundle.
Now, just in case you have actually made and flown this kite at least once already...
You've probably read a kite-flying story or 2 of mine, after they appear under the "what's new?" link on this site. I sometimes wonder if anyone else has made and flown this particular design...
If you feel your efforts really paid off when the the kite finally got airborne - please type a few paragraphs in here telling us all about it!
P.S. I can only accept stories of at least 300 words. Just mention a few details like the weather, onlookers, the kite's behavior and so on - 300 words is easy!

"Love the easy to understand step by step instructions, made from next to nothing materials and above all so much fun to fly... cheers Tim for sharing your well thought out pdf kite designs with the whole world.
Very satisfying making your own and watching them get air-born for the first time."
"I decided to run kite making as an elective again on this camp in the past week - so I bought all your e-books, a bunch of materials, and then took a group of 10 high school students through making the kites over 4 days. We built a diamond, a Barn Door, a Delta, and two skew delta kites. Again - every single kite flew."
"I've just bought your super e-book and spent most of last night pouring through all the great stuff in it!
Very detailed and USEFUL information - thanks for such a great book."
years ago, I tried making a kite using the 'instructions' in a free
kite-safety booklet. What a disappointment for a young boy.
Your instructions and methods are wonderful. You help the builder to focus on accuracy, without making it hard. Also, you use materials that are durable, yet cheap!"

STOCKTON - Jamiela Newson, 16, walked over to the poster on the wall of the Franklin High School cafeteria and wrote the word "love" under the heading of "Healthy Relationship."
STOCKTON - Jamiela Newson, 16, walked over to the poster on the wall of the Franklin High School cafeteria and wrote the word "love" under the heading of "Healthy Relationship."
"Without love, you can't have any kind of relationship. You have to have something that keeps you connected," the junior explained.
On the same poster, under "Unhealthy Relationship," fellow student Michael Johnson, 16, wrote the slang term "trife." His explanation: "There's no reason to be in a relationship if there is not going to be trust, loyalty and understanding." Otherwise, it's a "trife," or trifling fling.
Without prompting and with just the small reward of a single dark-chocolate Hershey Kiss or fresh strawberry, the students were participating in a lunchtime exercise of mental resilience, one of the foundations in the curriculum being offered through HealthCorps, a new program this year at Franklin and Stockton Unified's Health Careers Academy.
HealthCorps was founded in 2007 by TV personality and New York-based cardiothoracic surgeon Dr. Mehmet Oz and his wife, Lisa, to combat the nation's childhood obesity epidemic. Since then, the program has been implemented at 66 high schools in 14 states. Stockton is a natural location since it has among the worst rates of overweight and obese children in both California and the nation.
HealthCorps embeds a trained coordinator, typically a recent college graduate, in a high school on a full-time basis for a two-year commitment to serve as a peer mentor for students and work with both faculty and parents to provide a fresh approach to health education and turn the tide of health outcomes for a whole generation.
At Franklin, Marissa Sneddon, 24, a Los Angeles native who graduated with a degree in neuroscience from UCLA, is the HealthCorps program coordinator. She arrived on campus at the end of October and has been running full steam ever since. She is supported through a grant from The California Endowment, one of several funders of HealthCorps throughout the nation.
"I'd like the community to know we're here, we're thinking about Stockton and trying to shape a new generation of young people so they are healthier and have the strength to build a healthier generation of young people," Sneddon said.
Sneddon teaches between eight and 10 one-hour classes a week on Thursdays and Fridays. During the remainder of the school week, she is planning and conducting activities centered on nutrition, fitness and mental wellness, such as the recent interactive lunchtime demonstration on healthy relationships.
She's available to teachers from throughout the school to provide lessons compatible with their current subjects. She recently gave a health lesson in an English class on the effects of caffeine and energy drinks.
"I see the students really engaged and smiling about what we are doing in class. It makes my day," Sneddon said.
Amanda Chavez, 16, is one of six Franklin students who has taken an active role in HealthCorps. She has seen the need and value of the program from the beginning.
"The students, they'd rather spend their money on junk food and hamburgers. Last month, we did a (cafeteria) program on smoothies. You use the whole fruit, not just the juice. We get to teach them something they didn't know before, I didn't know before," Chavez said.
The active HealthCorps students have gone off-campus to provide volunteer service at St. Mary's Dining Room, helping prepare and provide meals for its homeless clients, and plan to do more outside activities.
In her short time at the school, Sneddon has organized the Staff Wellness Challenge. Teachers and staff earn points for achieving certain fitness and nutrition challenges such as walking 10,000 steps a day or drinking 64 ounces of water.
An in-school health fair is planned for March 6 with student-run booths providing information on nutrition, fitness and mental strength. And Sneddon is preparing for Teen Battle Chef, an eight-week program where students participate in cooking competitions, learn culinary skills and recipes from different cultures, and consider their history and nutritional background.
She also has established a Wellness Council, a monthly meeting comprised of teachers, staff and students to discuss the school's health needs and organize health promotional activities.
Another active HealthCorps student, Carmen Mendoza, 16, said the program "not only helps you eat healthier and eat more good food, but you get involved in reaching out to people and giving them examples to eat healthier. I definitely saw a need."
About those treats used as rewards, Mendoza explained that the strawberries provide fiber and vitamin C and the dark chocolate "is good for your hormones because it helps keep you more soothed and settled."

It's outrageous the way time passes so quickly (is this a symptom of getting older?). July and more than half of August are already dusted and what do I have to say for myself? Well, in this whirlwind of time loss I might need a second. July blazed by so fast, one minute I was at Cell Space watching Bronze having their heads shaved in a show of patriotism for the July 4th festivities (see "doing their duty" interview), the next minute it was August 1st and I was back at Cell Space, but this time being thrashed around and consequently getting my camera knocked from my hand then ultimately broken at the Portraits of Past re-union show. These early 90s emotional hardcore trailblazers definitely brought it full force to their first show in I think ten(?) years. The crowd was losing their shit, however nothing but good vibes permeated the air. The revelry and elation evaporated all my worries and bummer times.
Bronze "doing their duty" 4th of July @ Cell Space
Sic Alps 4th of July @ Cell Space
Portraits of Past reunion show August 1st @ Cell Space
This is the last picture my camera took before it was thrown to the far end of the stage.
Earlier in the month I ended up playing a great and shockingly very packed show at the Eagle on the 19th of July with the Buttholes Urfers (Butthole Surfers cover band) and Extra Action Marching Band. It was one of the most exhilarating good-vibes shows I had the honor of playing in such a long time. Two weeks later I was there again, this time for a benefit to support my band-mate Antonio's upcoming documentary "In Search of Good Food" and to see my house mate's new band The Drums; a garage band consisting of only two drummers sharing one kick drum.

Bronze perform at Bay Area Now @ San Francisco Museum of Modern Art

The Drums July 31st @ Eagle Tavern
Additionally, about a week ago I drove down to LA with the aforementioned Drums and friends for the August 8th BOADRUM performance taking place at the LeBrea Tar pits, which was to begin precisely at 8:08 pm. This was an event organized by Japanese noise luminaries the Boredoms and Hisham Bharoocha of Soft Circle. This same event also took place last year on July 7th in Brooklyn with 77 drummers. The idea is that this mass amount of drummers are picked and then gather together early on the date of the performance, learn the piece and then perform it that night. The result was both chaotic and hypnotic. In terms of set up this year, the drummers were spiraled out from the main stage where the core Boredoms were positioned and the piece acted as this ebb and flow chain of parts being played in rounds. It was very akin to 15th century baroque fugues (if you're familiar with music history), with the glaring exception that the primary instrument is drum sets not harpsichords (and I didn't see any powdered wigs), or "Row Row Row Your Boat" (if you're familiar with childhood history). The parts that came out sounding the most brilliant were the instances where every drummer was on point with their 87 counterparts and all 88 acted like a giant hive mind ant colony; quite a spectacle.
Honestly, all this business attending events was entirely fatiguing. The off time I spent at home lazing about and in my lackadaisical stupor stumbled onto a few cool things. First, is a fairly current release from a woman named Windy Weber. Her album, "I Hate People" was released in April of this year and is a beautiful, crushing two song guitar and sound collage LP. It's very brooding and intense, but the concept behind it is that it's a sonic testament to the idea of being alone on your perfect island. Pretty heavy, with a kind of a adolescent naivete to it, which is fitting because donning the cover is Weber's passport photo from 1987 in all her angst and nihilistic glory. Also, if you are a record nerd the vinyl is a splatter "peacock"-style design, is mixed different than the CD and the tracks are different lengths.
I also inadvertently missed an impromptu performance by German bicycle acrobat Ines Brunn over on 17th and Capp one night for the Bike Film Festival. I heard it was amazing which prompted me to research her online and no surprise, she has a website. Her stunts are extraordinary.Check this out:
Honestly though, I've been pretty reclusive other than this aforementioned stuff. I am not too sure what's going on in the coming weeks. Especially with my camera out of commission how am I supposed to document all these wonderful things? Hmm...I guess I'll have to settle with movie and book reviews. Perhaps I'll try and dive deep into the inner workings of deceased director Frank Perry, unfortunately well known for cult trash heap "Mommie Dearest", but check out his earlier work like "The Swimmer" and "David & Lisa". I'm telling you. We'll see what happens.

It was announced yesterday that the Microsoft OS code-named Windows 7 will be shipping as "Windows 7," exciting and surprising many. There was much question, even in our own piece, as to how Microsoft arrived at 7 for an OS likely destined to be version 6.1. Microsoft answered our question in a post called "Why 7?" on the Windows Vista Blog.

The Cold War was a decades-long period of heightened tensions between the United States of America and the Soviet Union, the two largest military and economic superpowers on Earth during the second half of 20th century, and their respective allies.
As the two dominant nation-states to emerge after World War II, the United States of America (USA) and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) were diametrically opposed in economic and social philosophy. However, the devastating effects of that conflict combined with the enormous nuclear arsenal of the two countries made open hostilities a disastrous prospect for both. Rather than risk mutual annihilation the two powers engaged in a "cold war" that consisted of intense espionage, political manipulation of satellite states (see "Brush Wars"), and covert military actions. As such it was not an open "war" between the USA and USSR, in a conventional sense.
The atmosphere created by the Cold War put enormous strains on the governments and citizens of both countries. Suspicion of each other's motives was the normal state of affairs, and the military leadership of both sides regularly argued for armed conflict.
When Quark, Rom, Nog, and Odo were thrown back in time to 1947 the military of the US accused them of being involved with the Russians, their Cold War adversary. After the US was on the verge of rejecting Quark's deal, the Ferengi threatened to sell 24th century technology to the Soviets. (DS9: "Little Green Men")
Julian Bashir's holosuite program Julian Bashir, Secret Agent was set during the 1960s at the height of the Cold War. (DS9: "Our Man Bashir")
The Cold War was ended in 1991 when the Soviet Union was dissolved. (VOY: "Future's End")
|Earth wars prior to the Federation
|Crusades • American Revolution • American Civil War • World War I • World War II • Brush Wars • Earth Cold War • Eugenics Wars • World War III • Earth-Kzin Wars • Earth-Romulan War
Appendices Edit
Background information Edit
The end of the Cold War was the inspiration for Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. The dissolution of the Soviet Union between the release of Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home and Star Trek VI created the anachronism of having an officer at Starfleet Headquarters refer to the city of Leningrad, which after the fall of the USSR reverted to its original name of St. Petersburg.
The character of Pavel Chekov in Star Trek: The Original Series was a controversial move, coming as it did at the height of the Cold War, only six years after the construction of the Berlin Wall and five years after the Cuban Missile Crisis.
The script of the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Destiny" describes the meeting between Benjamin Sisko and his crew with Ulani Belor and Gilora Rejal as being "like a meeting between Americans and Russians at the height of the Cold War."

CLEARWATER, Fla. – The Georgia College softball team (4-2) lost their first two games of the season Friday afternoon, dropping a pair of games at the Triton Spring Invitational. The Bobcats lost game one against Nova Southeastern University (4-1) 4-0 and fell to host Eckerd College (4-1) in the final at-bat in game two 6-5.
Marissa Boyette (Marietta, Ga.) held Nova scoreless through three innings but would surrender three runs in the top of the fourth. Abi LeRoy (Dublin, Ga.) went the rest of the way for the Bobcats, holding the Sharks to just one run.
LeRoy and Frankie Walls (Dahlonega, Ga.) led the Bobcat offense, each going 2-for-3 at the plate.
The Bobcats would threaten in the bottom of the seventh with the first two runners reaching base, but Jennie Von Doellen would finish the complete game shutout and give Nova the 4-0 win. Boyette (2-1) took the loss in four innings of work, allowing three runs on three hits.
The Bobcats would get right back on the field less than one hour later, this time facing-off against Eckerd.
The Georgia College bats would strike first, scoring three runs in the top of the third inning. LeRoy knocked in Natalie Bellantoni (Oviedo, Fla. ) with a single up the middle and Kelsea Martin (Dacula, Ga.) followed her with a two-run double, scoring Whitney Okvist (Kennesaw, Ga.) and LeRoy.
Defense would do the Bobcats in as the Tritons plated four runs in the top of the sixth inning, none earned. Of the six scores allowed by the Bobcats only one was earned.
The Bobcats would head into the top of the seventh down 5-3, tying the game in quick order. Kristen Humphries (Columbus, Ga.) would reach base to start the inning, followed by a LeRoy single. The LeRoy single scored Humphries and an error on the play allowed LeRoy herself to score the game-tying run.
The Bobcats would head to the bottom of the seventh with the score tied 5-5. Georgia College was unable to force extra innings however, as the Tritons pushed across the winning run with a single up the middle by Kristen Schurr. LeRoy (2-1) took the loss in game two, allowing just one earned run over five innings, fanning two.
LeRoy led the offense for the second game in a row, going 3-for-4 at the plate while scoring a pair of runs and also knocking in a pair.
Freshmen Danielle Knight (Dudley, Ga.) and Kristen Brooks (Brunswick, Ga.) each had a pair of hits in the game. Okvist added her fifth steal on the year.
The Bobcats will return to the field Saturday, Feb. 9 at 11 a.m. when they face off against No. 19 Barry University. They will also face off against Florida Tech at 4 p.m. Saturday afternoon.

LODI - A Tokay High School graduate turned medical marijuana advocate said she will implore Lodi to start a commission or panel to meet monthly to hear complaints and deal with issues that arise with the cultivation of cannabis within city limits.
LODI - A Tokay High School graduate turned medical marijuana advocate said she will implore Lodi to start a commission or panel to meet monthly to hear complaints and deal with issues that arise with the cultivation of cannabis within city limits.
Angel Raich, 46, is a medical marijuana patient who has a terminal brain tumor. She has been a longtime advocate who helped write Proposition 215, the compassionate-use act passed by California voters in 1996. She lobbied at the state level for patient rights in recent years.
Raich said she has concerns for how the City Council has banned dispensaries and is expected to place a 45-day moratorium on any cultivation of medical marijuana at its Nov. 7 meeting, citing one case where pot plants grown in a resident's backyard have become a nuisance to neighbors.
In that 45-day period, the City Attorney's office will draft and recommend an ordinance that places restrictions on how marijuana can be grown so that it is not a nuisance.
"I'm going to ask them to do a task force, and I want to be a part of it," Raich said. "I want to see a panel that has representatives from the community and a representative from law enforcement."
The city has made no decision, and the City Clerk's office has reported no formal opposition to a temporary moratorium on growing or a future ordinance.
City Attorney Steve Schwabauer and Deputy City Attorney Janice Magdich have said they fully intend to craft an ordinance that is reasonable for medical marijuana patients. The City Council will have multiple options:
� Banning all marijuana cultivation.
� Banning outdoor cultivation.
� Banning cultivation in specific city zones, such as industrial or residential.
� Setting guidelines for cultivation with specific detail on what is and isn't considered a nuisance. Code enforcement would handle complaints on a case-to-case basis.
Councilman Alan Nakanishi said he would like to consider an all-out ban.
Any ordinance is likely to bring some form of opposition.
Magdich told the City Council a full-time ban is likely to invite a lawsuit. Raich, a 1984 grad of Tokay High who now lives in Stockton, agreed, adding that banning all outdoor cultivation would create a hardship for some patients who cannot afford greenhouses or other equipment.
Raich said most people who grow their own medical pot in Lodi are not a nuisance. Letting people grow under the terms of their prescription and handling complaints, she said, is best for everybody.
"Oakland and Berkeley both have commissions that handle all the issues, and it works," Raich said. "The main thing is ... there are seniors using medical marijuana, normal people use it. The main thing is we don't want people buying on the street because there are too many restrictions."

Find information about Front Range Community College nurse anesthetist program, registering for elective courses, and taking tests for free online. Seek out nationally-accredited nursing programs for the best training. Given a brief hospital internship or prior work experience, you can expect a great return on your education. If you complete the nurse anesthetist program, for example, there are a variety of nursing concentrations that may appeal to you such as clinical laboratory training, nursing management, or occupational rehabilitation. Check with the nursing department for an updated schedule of classes, registration deadlines, and a list of nurse anesthetist program requirements. Due to advances in medical systems, there is a growing skill-shortage of trained nurses, and of qualified medical personnel in general. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Front Range Community College.
To become a Registered Nurse (RN), you will be required to take courses in medical terminology, patient care and life sciences. Although associate degree programs provide students with adequate nursing training, the nurse anesthetist program provides greater clinical exposure and a stronger general education. A 4-year BSN program allows students to study specialized areas of nursing, including pediatrics, geriatrics and mental health nursing. An RN has to cope with more responsibility, and must oversee the work of LPNs and CNAs under their supervision. Nurse anesthetist job openings are projected to grow 18 percent over the coming decade, faster than the average for all occupations. The average salary for nurses with an associates degree was $43,700 in 2015, while nurses with a bachelors degree earned $67,490 per year.
Certification requirements include board certification by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) and the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners (AANP). The license period for the nurse anesthetist program varies by individual state, but is usually valid for either two or three years. Registered nurses (RNs) are not required to be certified in a particular specialty by state law. For example, it isn't necessary to be a Certified Medical-Surgical Registered Nurse (CMSRN) to work on a hospital Medical-Surgical (MedSurg) floor, and most MedSurg nurses are not CMSRNs. There are a fixed number of credits that each state requires, and if you work in a hospital facility, an accelerated BSN program may be offered on-site.

Coronary artery disease occurs when the coronary arteries become hardened and narrowed, due to the buildup of fatty deposits known as atherosclerosis, which restricts the flow of blood. Heart disease is a condition where the heart muscle grows progressively weaker, and cannot pump enough blood to meet the body's needs for oxygen. Failure can also stem from problems with the heart's valves, rheumatic heart disease, bacterial infections, and congenital defects. Common symptoms of heart disease are fatigue, swelling of the legs, rapid weight gain, loss of appetite, abdominal bloating, and difficulty sleeping.

Reverse mortgages are expected to be an increasing option that baby boomers turn to as they age to cover living expenses, but heirs may get stuck with the final bill, The New York Times reports.
"In the future, more homes passed on to children will come with a bill attached – the balance due on these equity loans," The New York Times reports.
Reverse mortgages allow home owners 62 and older to borrow money using their home's equity as collateral, freeing them from monthly mortgage payments. However, interest and monthly insurance premiums are charged throughout the life of the loan with the total balance becoming due when the borrower permanently moves out of the home or dies.
Heirs will have to handle how the loan is repaid, depending on how much equity remains in the house as well as whether they want to keep the home. But when a property changes hands, the first lein holder on the property title must get repaid and heirs have 30 days decide how to repay it. Heirs may have up to six months to sell the home, or arrange financing by getting a separate mortgage to refinance the home and pay off the reverse mortgage. Two, 90-day extensions are often permitted.
But lenders note: The heir will not be required to pay any shortfall if the home fails to sell or if they don't sell it for enough to pay the full loan amount.
