Palit HD4850 Review
So many video cards, so little time to use them before the next crop comes due. ATI has a series of proven performers with the HD48XX series of video cards, having just dropped the HD4870X2 performance bomb on the world. Depending on the performance level there is a card in the ATI deck to match up with the green camp and fight them on a performance per dollar platform. The question is where do you want to spend your dollars? ATI or Nvidia? Each has its merits. The decision comes down to brand preference, manufacturer preference and feature set. Just what it can do. The problem is that with costs going up on just about everything the discretionary dollars you have available are shrinking so getting the most bang for your buck is on everyone's mind.
The Palit HD4850 is a PCI-E 16x 2.0 compliant video card built on a 55nm manufacturing process. Sporting clock speeds of 625MHz and 993MHz, respectively, on the GPU and memory the HD4850 is equipped to challenge the green camp to see just how well the performance stacks up against the competition.
Closer Look:
The packaging for the Palit HD4850 centers around the Frobot, dressed for battle and carrying that 1000 yard stare. Other mentions on the front panel include the model of the video card, the fact that the Palit HD4850 is HDCP ready, is certified for Windows Vista and can be used in a CrossfireX configuration with two or more video cards. The rear panel lists additional technical specifications not listed on the front panel such as PCI-E 2.0 compliance, full unified shaders optimized for DirectX 10 and Shader model 4.0 as well as the video formats hardware decoding is offered for. The side panels offer little in the way of information but do carry the company name, the Radeon moniker as well as a picture of our buddy, the Frobot.
Once open, the contents of the box are still hidden quite well. The HD4850 is kept in a box inside the main package with additional cardboard walls that act as both a method of securing the card in place as well as providing a place to hide the accessory bundle.
The bundle of accesories that Palit has included with the HD4850 is far more expansive than the ones I have seen with Palit's Nvidia graphics cards. Not only do you get the standard driver disc and quick start guide, you also get the DVI to HDMI adapter, a DVI to D-sub adapter, an HD-out to VGA-out adapter, a Crossfire bridge connection and 4-pin molex to 6-pin PCI-E power adapter. If you can't get connected with this bundle then you just can't get connected.
Now let's see what the Palit HD4850 looks like.

"In its case against Samsung Electronics in the Netherlands, Apple is demanding an extensive ban on all Galaxy series smartphones and tablets, including a complete recall of stock by European distributors and resellers. Apple's complaint against Samsung in The Hague district court is much more comprehensive than previously thought. It's not only broader in its legal scope than a separate, ongoing Apple complaint against Samsung in Germany, but an injunction could have a 'huge impact' on the entire European market for smartphones and tablets, according to Alastair Edwards, principal analyst at Canalys." That's how far Apple is willing to go. They are willing to screw over countless resellers - some big, some small, one-shop affairs - because they don't like competition. I wonder how the Grubers of this world are going to spin this one. Hey Steve, I've got another extremely successful Android phone maker for you to sue.

Yeah pretty much sums up how I feel about them. I can't believe HP has gone and rolled over as well. I like their laptops and was thinking the company was on track to a revival. Obviously short term blindness (A Western Capitalism Affliction) seems to have taken another victim.
And we wonder why we are falling off a cliff in slow motion??
Dear Apple, stop being such techno PRICKS and allow consumers the freedom to choose what they want without your behind the scenes manipulations.

SGI hopes to emerge as a leaner, meaner organisation by the end of the third quarter. The hardware maker this week filed an amended reorganisation plan that calls for it to finish off bankruptcy proceedings by September. If all goes as expected, SGI will trim its total debt down to USD 70m from USD 345m. Some of the debt will be removed in exchange for the privilege of investing more money in SGI 2.0.

Canadian McIvor wins gold in women's ski cross
Whistler's Ashleigh McIvor, the reigning world champion, was certain she would win gold for Canada and she did.
Photograph by: David Hecker , AFP/Getty Images
Call it performance on demand. Call it bragging with portfolio. Call it living up to the spirit of Canada's much-maligned goal of owning the podium. If the Olympics come down to an athlete bringing it at the moment, Ashleigh McIvor delivered on demand Tuesday at Cypress Mountain.
She's Canadian. She's the defending world champion. And she's the first Olympic gold medallist in the history of ladies' ski cross.
No apologies necessary from the host country.
Not this time.
"This is like the only race of my life where I just felt I was going to win," she said, her cheeks rosy from the cold and snow. "I used to think it was bad to think that way, that I was going to jinx it or I'd be so disappointed if I didn't win."
She felt disappointed — actually crushed is more like it — Sunday when her boyfriend and teammate Chris Del Bosco did a faceplant and lost out on bronze in the men's ski cross final.
History did not repeat itself Tuesday with Cypress Mountain actually looking like a Winter Olympic venue, for a change. Blinding snow gusted sideways across a course already considered difficult by any standards — especially at the start for the women.
Advantage: Canada. Advantage: McIvor.
"Growing up in Whistler, I was shredding powder, dropping cliffs chasing the boys my whole life," said McIvor, once described as "a little bit hippie, a little bit super model" by her coach, Eric Archer.
"Skiing in the back country and racing your buddies from the top of the hill to the bottom — that's what ski cross is all about.
"Who could go out and represent Canada better than a Whistler girl?"
With the crowd roaring from the bottom of the course, McIvor took a deep breath from her perch at the top.
She felt peace.
"Standing in the start gate, I was thinking that everything that's happened in my life up to this point has been leading me to here," she said, her cheeks rosy. "This is here I want to be right now. I felt like I was made for this event. It's in my hometown, pretty much.
"What more could I ask for?"
With blonde hair poking out from her helmet, McIvor soared out of the gate, grabbed the coveted hole shot in the four-woman final and never looked back.
But she did think of her boyfriend as she rocketed towards the finish line.
"I always draw inspiration from him," she said. "I actually thought about it as I went through that corner in the final.
"`Don't do what Chris did. Stay on your feet.'"
Her dad Brent stood on his feet for the entire race, screaming, "go! go !" When she whizzed across the finish line, he put a red mitten to his face and burst into tears.
"I think the weather was even more comforting for me because I felt like I was on the top of Blackcomb Mountain," she said of her home hill up in Whistler. "It was amazing. It felt like it was my race, my course and I felt really connected to it.
"It all worked out."
Did it ever. McIvor captured Canada's sixth gold medal at the 2010 Olympics. Hedda Berntsen, of Norway, grabbed the silver and Marion Josserand, of France, cashed in with bronze.
The No. 1 ranked Ophelie David, of France, crashed in the quarterfinal, leaving the door wide open for McIvor to carve her spot in the history of the baby Olympic sport.
"This is the best moment of my entire life," she said. I've worked so hard to get here and it's so awesome to be able to represent my hometown, my home province, my home country so well on the world stage.."
Another B.C. girl, Kelsey Serwa, missed a berth in the final by mere inches. But the Kelowna native bounced back to win the small final before huge gathering of family and friends.
The 20-year-old finished placed fifth in her first Olympics, serving notice of her star potential for the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, Russia.
Competing with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in her left knee, Julia Murray, of Whistler, pulled up lame and finished 12th.
"I'm still having some trouble standing on it, 100 per cent," said Murray, who ripped up the knee last month in training. "But I'm here."
Danielle Poleschuk, of Calgary, crashed and finished 19th.
"My goal today was to get out in front," she said. "By far that was the worst start of any time on this track. It came at a bad time.
"I've got four years to think about it and start over."
The Own the Podium program has been a target of ridicule in recent days for making promises that Canadian athletes have been unable to keep.
Canadian Olympic Committee officials finally admitted this week that Canada would not "own the podium" given the Americans' huge lead atop the medal standings.
McIvor kept up her end of the bargain and she credits Own the Podium for putting herself in the position to win gold.
At home, no less.
"Thanks to the support from Own the Podium," she said. "I felt so prepared. You can't do it without this kind of support. You can't do it on your own dime, tuning your own skis.
"Yeah, there was pressure, but you can also look at it like people having confidence in you."

By maintaining A-Z control over the manufacture of its products, Observé L Éssence line of rendition fragrances is assured its consistent demands are met for the highest quality at the best costs. The process of perfume manufacturing is very exacting. From the first flower picked to the last fragrant drop, perfection is the single goal. To this end, an international team of the world's most respected suppliers work in collaboration with Observé L Éssence line of rendition fragrances.
Raw materials are gathered and processed in Grasse, France known throughout the perfume world for its expertise. The New Jersey mixing plants refine these imported materials. Natural and synthetic ingredients are carefully blended into the necessary fragrant oils. Creative offices in New York formulate a desired scent according to the company's specifications. Equipped with a perfumer's library of thousands of essences, The "nose" (the inventive talent) has the time consuming task of defining the actual scent. Our company painstakingly analyzes many submissions before accepting a final formula. Stringent quality controls guide the testing and mixing of the actual formula. State of the art testing techniques assure the safety and quality of our fragrances without the need to test on animals. The finished fragrance is then shipped to Scentura Creations in-house filling plant for bottle filling and assembly into the finished product.
The product is now ready for shipment to independent distributors throughout the world! Since Scentura Creations doesn't cut corners in the manufacture of its rendition products, just where do the savings come from that allow Observé L Éssence to be marketed at a much lower cost than other designer fragrances? The Company saves in many ways. Its product line features every popular scent, while continually adding only the latest, proven successes. Although our product has been advertised nationally on television and in major magazines (see below), our promotional and advertising costs are minuscule compared to those of other designers. Therefore, having established such a loyal base of independent distributors, Observé L Éssence can cut out the high overhead costs of middlemen and department store mark ups.

The new "Frozen" fiefdom of Queen Elsa, Princess Anna and "counselor" Olaf in Disney California Adventure's Hollywood Land is not just a way to solidify the already successful film franchise; it's a whole new version of Disney's most high-octane fuel-source: princess power.
And yet fewer than five years ago, Disney announced that it was done with princesses, at least of the traditional fairy-tale variety.
"The Princess and the Frog" had tanked, and company execs decided that a royal wedding as happy ending was out of date. Any self-respecting female over 5 had dreams beyond a fabulous dress and a prince.
On the other hand, those dresses...

BTV: Our most exciting Gizmo episode ever! We are giving you the very first look at hands-on game demos for the PlayStation 3 Move, a whole new motion sensing controller for the console. Watch exclusive footage of upcoming games like Sports Champions and Start The Party. We interview people and get their gut reactions to their first time playing.
From actual people who played the game. All positive responses
It's good to see the reaction of normal folks who tried the Move.
the fact that this is not a sony video is why it not celebrity endorsed, and maybe if it was you might have seen celebs. But hey this video confirms me getting the move, i don't think the site is a sony fanboy site so i will see this vid as 100% real people, not actors trying out the move for the first time.
And that guy that has 8 PS3!! talk about support thats ridiculous i only have my launch 40gb and its still goin strong, he has to spend, maybe he has a big family.
The accuracy is what i wanted to hear from the people the most, cos i don't want it to be like the wii, don't get me wrong i enjoy playing the wii and i have played it several time, i dont own one though, but i have to say certain actions need to be repeated to get it right.
I appreciate Nintendo for being the first to come out with this motion stuff, it allows others like microsoft and sony to further improve them and make them even better. Sony alrady did it with eyetoy but not alot of people were ready for motion gaming without controllers, now microsoft are trying to improve that which i think is a great concept, and if they fix the lag issues show us actual LIVE gameplay for non-fitness related games then they will be good.
Sony on the other hand took the wii remote and improved it greatly with 1:1 motion tracking which alot of people have said and seen is great, its a good move on their behalf because everyone would be used to its concept because of the wii, the only thing is alot of casual gamers won't be attract to the full price of the ps3 if they don't already own one, considering that the wii is that cheap and it does motion gaming almost as good as sony's move.
all in all i will purchase move since i only have the ps3, but i am not a serious fanboy although i really want sony to do well, and deliver content we neeed on the psn and for the ps3
Oh boy this can get ugly, soccer mom and child will be all over this , this holiday season. D1B for me.

DeFUNIAK SPRINGS � Details about the May disappearance of Walton County resident John Gregory Hughes leaked out Monday as the trial of a man accused of stealing and selling his car got under way.
If the story Barry Davis told investigators questioning him about the theft is true, Hughes and perhaps Panama City resident Heidi Rhodes, who disappeared with him, vanished of their own accord in an effort to give debt collectors the slip.
In that version of the story, Davis is also innocent of any wrongdoing and was just helping a friend get out of town.
Authorities allege that on May 11, about a week after Hughes and Rhodes were last seen, Davis traveled to Orlando in Hughes� 2008 Corvette and sold it for $15,000 to Alexander Ortega, a man he�d never met.
They say Davis took the car without Hughes� permission and forged his victim�s signature on the title to make its sale appear legit.
Walton County detective Steve Sunday said he was investigating a missing persons case when he questioned Davis about the vehicle transaction.
He testified Monday Davis claimed Hughes was close by, but in hiding, at the time he sold the vehicle.
�He told me that Mr. Hughes wanted to sell his Corvette,� Sunday told the court. �Mr. Davis said (Hughes) had to leave because he owed people money.�
Hughes and Rhodes had been dating for a couple of months when they disappeared. They were last seen on May 7.
Rhodes, whose family told reporters in early July she�d never just up and run off, left behind most of her belongings, though her dog was gone from her home, authorities said.
Hughes had moved out of his Walton County home � with Rhodes� help � about a week before questions began being asked about the couple�s whereabouts, reports said.
Defense attorney Jeremy Keich, whose case for reasonable doubt has been bolstered by the fact no one knows where Hughes is, elicited testimony from Sunday that he could not verify, nor therefore dispute, Davis� story about the car sale and Hughes being in Orlando when it happened.
The prosecution�s case has been hampered by its inability to introduce some pertinent facts, including much about the missing persons case, for fear of prejudicing the jury.
�We do not plan on eliciting testimony that indicates Davis is responsible for the missing person,� assistant state attorney Josh Mitchell said at the motion hearing.
Also left out, but aired at the motion hearings, was information that items stolen in a burglary at Hughes� Miramar Beach home were found in Davis� residence.
Jurors did get to hear from Ortega, who testified that when he bought the 2008 Corvette from Davis, he was led to assume he was dealing with a man named Hughes, because that was the name that appeared on the title.
A handwriting expert with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement also testified that in her expert opinion, the signature on the title was likely forged, and it appeared Davis had committed the forgery.
A cousin testified that Hughes had suffered a serious hand injury and typically signed important documents left handed, using the initials JGH.
Friends and neighbors testified that Hughes loved his Corvette and wouldn�t sell it.
Prosecutors won one legal battle when the judge in the case allowed testimony that indicated Hughes had more than $200,000 in his bank account and therefore would have little need to run to avoid a $15,000 debt.
Closing arguments in the Davis trial will get under way Tuesday.

Program Leader: Vern SchrammCo-Program Leader: Roman Perez-Soler
Research in the Experimental Therapeutics program encompasses preclinical drug development in the areas of transition-state inhibitors, novel microtubule-stabilizing agents, targeted drugs, antifolates and a broad spectrum of biologicals including tumor-targeted monoclonal antibodies linked to radionuclides, aptamers, high-affinity antibodies, drugs designed to modulate apoptotic pathways and agents targeted to surface glycans. AECC's seminal structural and biochemical studies on the immune synapse are now focused on identification of inhibitor molecules that suppress the immune response to tumors. These studies have become much more clinically relevant with the approval of ipilimumab for cancer treatment and the search for agents that block other immune-inhibitory molecules. Structures were obtained for (i) the PD-1/PD-L2 complex, (ii) human B7-H3 and (iii) human B7-H4, immuno-inhibitory molecules expressed on tumors, providing a structural and mechanistic basis for the identification of agents that selectively manipulate these pathways. Most recently, the structure of the ipilimumab-CTLA4 complex was solved demonstrating that the mechanism by which this mAb blocks CTLA4 function is via direct steric competition with the B7 ligands. This structure also highlighted the determinants that allow the antibody to distinguish between CTLA4 and CD28, thus affording the specificity required for therapeutic efficacy. There have been a number of bench-to-bedside achievements. Two transition-state inhibitors of purine nucleoside phosphorylase are in clinical studies for the treatment of T-cell malignancies. A methylthioadenosine phosphorylase transition-state inhibitor with a broad spectrum of activity in solid tumors is in the pipeline and several additional transition-state inhibitors are in development directed to important targets in neoplasia. A monoclonal antibody linked to 188Rh for the treatment of melanoma has completed Phase I studies. Menadione, identified in preclinical studies as an agent for the prevention/treatment of the dermatitis due to EGFR inhibitors, is in a clinical trial. Structural analyses of Taxol and discodermolide binding to the tubulin pharmacophore by hydrogen-deuterium exchange has led to the development of a novel hybrid inhibitor. Disease-site working groups bring together clinical and laboratory investigators in correlative and therapeutic studies particularly in the areas of breast, gynecological, lung, and head and neck cancers, with emerging groups in neuroendocrine tumors and neuro-oncology. AECC clinical investigators play important roles in national cooperative groups.

Earthquakes 0, Vancouver Whitecaps FC 0; Sept. 14, 2013; Buck Shaw Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif.
The Earthquakes extended their home-unbeaten streak to 14 games with a 0-0 draw against Vancouver Whitecaps FC in front of a sold out crowd at Buck Shaw Stadium. The clean sheet was the club's sixth of the season and third in their last five games. For Jon Busch, the shutout was his 73rd in 13 seasons, tying him with current New England Revolution goalkeeper Matt Reis for No. 5 in MLS history. The Earthquakes pressed the action for most of the evening, out-shooting their guests 22-14. They had several golden chances to score, including a close-range blast from Clarence Goodson in the 19th minute that darted high over the crossbar. In the second half, Chris Wondolowski nearly opened the scoring with a flick off a Sam Cronin free kick, but Whitecaps FC goalkeeper David Ousted positioned himself perfectly to snare the shot.

Last Game vs. Montreal Impact
Earthquakes 0, Montreal Impact 1; Aug. 7, 2013; Saputo Stadium in Montreal, Quebec
The Earthquakes fell 1-0 in their CONCACAF Champions League debut against the Montreal Impact at Saputo Stadium. Despite an advantage in possession and shots, the Earthquakes were unable to break through against their hosts. After a missed penalty kick in the 10th minute, San Jose conceded the game's only goal on a set piece in the 16th minute. Freshly minted Impact Designated Player Hernan Bernardello lofted a ball toward the back post from 40 yards out, finding Hassoun Camara open for a glancing header. The Earthquakes had several quality looks at goal in the second half, including a header from Sam Garza that sailed inches wide. Garza had another look midway through the second half thanks to a well-placed pass from winger Jaime Alas, but the second-year midfielder misfired. Alan Gordon had a look at the ball from Garza, but Montreal was able to clear before the target man could get around on a shot.

Last Game vs. Real Salt Lake
Earthquakes 0, Real Salt Lake 3; June 1, 2013; Rio Tinto Stadium in Sandy, Utah
The Earthquakes lost 3-0 on the road to Real Salt Lake at Rio Tinto Stadium. RSL scored three first-half goals to take control of the match and the Earthquakes could not get back in the game in the second half. Real Salt Lake jumped on the board first behind a goal from Javier Morales. Robbie Findley received the ball on the right wing from Morales and broke into the box. After making some space for himself, he hit a low shot that was saved by Quakes goalkeeper Jon Busch. Morales pounced on the rebound and put it into the back of the net for a 1-0 RSL advantage. Ned Grabavoy put RSL up 2-0 with a blast from inside the box 33 minutes into the game. Morales got open on the left wing, and his cross found Grabavoy, who finished into the upper corner. Five minutes later, Findley got a goal of his own. After a Joao Plata cross was cleared directly to Findley, he curled a right-footed shot inside the far post for a 3-0 advantage. The Quakes had a handful of good chances in the second half, but RSL goalkeeper Nick Rimando was up to the task. He stopped a Marvin Chavez drive early in the half, before denying Chris Wondolowski and Steven Lenhart's close-range efforts.

Dark Star Orchestra has carried on the legacy of the Grateful Dead on its broad shoulders for 17 years.
Dark Star Orchestra has carried on the legacy of the Grateful Dead on its broad shoulders for 17 years.
During that span of nearly two decades, Dark Star has earned and held the title of most adored Grateful Dead tribute band. The road warriors have treated deadheads to more than 2,200 ghoulish concerts, of which a handful were at the Bottle & Cork in Dewey Beach.
Having stirred up the Bottle & Cork yesterday with its first return show there since last year, the skeleton crew will give an encore tonight, capping off its second consecutive show at the Bottle & Cork, which will also be its final at the venue this summer.
"It's a real partying town," DSO frontman Jeff Mattson fondly said of Dewey Beach, during a phone interview with the Sussex Countian. "People come ready to throw down and have a good time."
On any given night, crowds will hear DSO perform a show based on tunes from the Grateful Dead's 30 years of extensive touring. Sometimes DSO will perform an identical repertoire from one of the Grateful Dead's concerts. Other times DSO will dish out a unique set list comprised of songs they handpicked.
No different than the Grateful Dead, DSO never performs the same set-list twice. Also, whereas most cover bands will play a particular hit song at every show, Mattson says DSO doesn't feel the need to do so, just like the Grateful Dead didn't. So the band doesn't. And this makes each DSO concert feel like a grand box of chocolates.
"We have an idea of what we'll be playing, but we won't say until the end of show," said the laidback Mattson. The frontman digs this approach, too, as do many of the deadheads because they like "being surprised."
On the contrary, one of the songs you likely won't hear tonight is "Shade and Spirit," an obscure tune off the Grateful Dead's eighth studio record, "Blues for Allah," released in 1975.
"It's a really intricate instrumental," Mattson said. "We've never performed that [song]. [But] someday we'll get to it."
No matter what songs DSO tackles tonight, Mattson and his bandmates only have one goal in mind.
"We're just trying to honor that music and that talent that was already here before [us]," Mattson said of paying tribute to the Grateful Dead. "We believe that it deserves to be kept alive and healthy out there and we're doing our part. We get joy out of doing that and making a living out of it."
WHAT Dark Star Orchestra in concert
WHEN 8:45 p.m., Wednesday
WHERE Bottle & Cork, 1807 Highway One, Coastal Highway, Dewey Beach

Yeah, that migth explain it.
Oh, and of course it's not like Vitamin overdose is a nice stuff, I once got Hepatomegali (Abnomal increase in liver size) after stuffing in Vitamin A thinking my vision will got better, and Vitamin C often causing all sort of internal injury, such as diarrhea, gastritis etc., and Vitamin B can cause some problem with your metabolism....

Yes and No
For some poisons, the body produces antibodies to clear them from the system; so, with repeated exposure to small amounts, you can build up a level of circulating antibody that grants immunity to a typical dose. However, there are plenty of other poisons that don't get cleared from the system and simply build up in your tissues until you reach a lethal dose.
Michael Jackson is one of such example.

Okay, how about this: A mentally insane man kills and rapes young girls due to some kind of voice in his head. His father's the minister, so you can't arrest him legally and you have no proof to connect the two. His father doesn't stop him, so would you let him live?

If I had to be honest, and able to do just that, I will, in a spur of moment and anger myself.
And probably get arrested for murder, and some part of me will regret it. Screaming why the hell I should even care.
EDIT: and that's assuming Big Daddy don't want my head for revenge.

Inversely, it was done to invoke eye scream without permanent blindness in various media. Though some go with blindness anyway (without eyeball popped).
I heard that movie, but my friends (a member of navy) said that "the main character (in this case, main ship) is too overpowered", and then I knew this is not going to be accurate. But I'll try to watch it if I have time to download
Side note - may I ask you a question? it's not I.S. related but for other fic.

@zero: no offense taken. I actually appreciate. the input as it gives confidence and realism in my writing. I do ask though if overdose won't occur so long as the supplement formulation fits both kids and adults differing only on amount of dosage as age or body mass increases?
I plan for Lyon's supplements to have been like that

Distributed Spatial Sensemaking in Middle School Engineering Learning
Kay E. Ramey & David H. Uttal
Northwestern University
Interest in engineering education programs and curricula for K-12 students has increased substantially in recent years (NAE & NRC, 2009). Students in these programs engage in a wide variety of spatially-rich activities, ranging from construction kits, like Lego® Mindstorms or Snap Circuits®, to focused engineering design projects, to open-ended tinkering activities (e.g. Kolodner et al., 2003; Resnick & Rosenbaum, 2013).
With all of these options to choose from, it is important for educators and researchers to understand what types of skills these various activities facilitate. Our research attempts to answer this question for one important subset of engineering-relevant skills, spatial thinking skills.
Spatial thinking and spatial representations are ubiquitous in professional engineering practice and engineering learning. Both engineers and engineering students must routinely work from maps, models, and diagrams, create spatial representations, such as sketches and models, and tinker with physical or digital objects to solve problems (Christensen & Schunn, 2007; Johri & Olds, 2011; Sorby, 1999; Tseng & Yang, 2011; Wetzel & Forbus, 2010).
Most research on spatial thinking in education has been conducted from a cognitive or psychometric perspective. This research has shown that psychometrically-assessed spatial skills strongly and uniquely predict both performance in college engineering courses (e.g. Hsi, Linn & Bell, 1997; Sorby, 1999; Sorby & Baartmans, 2000; Tseng & Yang, 2011) and entry into STEM professions, including (but not limited to) engineering (e.g. Humphreys, Lubinski, & Yao, 1993; Shea, Lubinski, & Benbow, 2001; Wai, Lubinski, & Benbow, 2009). We also know that there are various subtypes of spatial thinking and that some, such as spatial visualization are more predictive of engineering success than others (e.g. Hsi, Linn & Bell, 1997; Newcombe, Uttal & Sauter, 2013; Sorby, 1999; Sorby & Baartmans, 2000).
Our research augments the cognitive and psychometric perspective by also thinking of spatial thinking as situated (e.g. Brown, Collins & Duguid, 1989; Lave & Wenger, 1991) and distributed (e.g. Hutchins, 1995a; 1995b). We want to know how spatial thinking is used in rich, real-world contexts. We are studying the influence of contextual factors on visual-spatial learning. These factors include other people, external representations, material resources, and the structure of activities. Our research goals were to determine when and why different types of spatial thinking mattered in the context of a middle school summer engineering camp, how students made sense of spatial information, and the role that different aspects of context played in facilitating this sensemaking.
Using multilevel and multimodal analysis of video recordings from learners' activities in the engineering camp, we identified a number of episodes of socially and materially distributed spatial sensemaking, which played an integral role in engineering learning in this context. For example, in Figure 1, we see Kristin, Gabrielle and Miss Alexis, the assistant instructor (all names are pseudonyms), engaging in distributed spatial sensemaking to solve a design problem. The girls are trying to design roofs for model houses, meant to withstand an arctic climate, when they become confused about the constraint that their houses must withstand two pounds of metal discs placed on the roof (representing snow). They work through this confusion collaboratively, manipulating objects to represent static spatial relations (e.g. proposed angle of the roof), using gesture to demonstrate dynamic spatial processes (e.g. snow sliding off the roof), and drawing analogies (e.g. between the metal discs and snow or between their model home and homes they've seen in Chicago, an "arctic" climate).
The girls often used strategies that align with SILC-identified tools for spatial instruction, such as gesture, analogy and spatial language. They also used other strategies, such as manipulating objects to facilitate spatial thinking and engineering problem solving.
We also found that the different types of engineering activities facilitated different types of spatial sensemaking, spatial skills, and problem solving practices. For example, episodes of spatial sensemaking during the design activities involved more talk about categorizing space and translating between 2D and 3D representations than did episodes during construction kit activities. Design activities also facilitated more sketching and gesture about spatial ideas. Conversely, episodes during construction kit activities involved more talk about spatial relations between objects, more working from diagrams and more object manipulation. Finally, both types of activities facilitated talk about scale or magnitude, rotation, spatial visualization and perspective taking, as well as spatial relational or analogical comparison.
These findings provide a starting point for researchers and educators to design engineering learning activities for this age group that scaffold specific spatial, representational, and problem solving skills. They also provide additional insight into which tools for spatial instruction are likely to be helpful in which types of activities and how they might be used by learners to make sense of spatial problems.

Ikonen has not yet returned from winning a gold medal at the WJCs with Finland. He has a 12-game point streak waiting for him.
Note: Windsor did not deal Slater Koekkoek today at the OHL trade deadline. He was named captain of the Spitfires later in the day. Windsor will likely enter the playoffs as a 5- or 6-seed, meaning they'll face one of the West's big-4: Erie, Sault Ste Marie, Guelph, or London. It could be a short playoff run for Windsor, though Koekkoek can join AHL Syracuse when his junior season is complete.

Project Formulation Advisor, Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) - Amman, Jordan
Why I chose Fletcher: I was looking for a graduate school that offered a rigorous academic training in international relations. The academic excellence of Fletcher as well as the well-balanced combination of theories and practices in its interdisciplinary curriculum attracted me very much. I believe the education at Fletcher will equip me with a sturdy intellectual foundation in understanding global issues today and in the future.
Something that has surprised me about Fletcher: We had a number of study groups that were voluntarily organized among ourselves. The students were willing to help each other and eager to learn from each other both inside and outside the classroom. In the spirit of cooperation, there is a strong sense of community at Fletcher.

Towns of dealers in Suffolk
Bury St Edmunds
Audi Models we work in Suffolk
All sorted. The dealer collected the car, paid the agreed price and I've just seen it on the website up for sale. A very good company, their managing director was very helpful. Thanks for the help and assistance with the HPI etc. I'll be looking to sell my 2011 Audi A4 soon and my new car a RRS SVR later next year. I'll give you guys a shout.
Miss Barton-Sax, Ashby-de-la Zouch
Edward did a great job for us, he managed to get £350 more than I could for my BMW. The buying dealer was very prompt and they paid what was originally offered. I will use Get It Gone again and I have recommended them to a friend already.
Mr McDowall, Glasgow
The chaps at Get It Gone boys got my Aston sold in 48 hours, the service was very professional and the dealer that collected my car was excellent. Money in the account before they took the car and I got a fair price too. Thanks Ed & Kev will be back when I'm ready to sell the new one.
Mr Garwood, Liverpool
I was very sceptical about selling my car via an online service but the process was made so easy for me. However they priced the car fairly and I was happy with the valuation, 2 days later I had a phone call from them saying they had a buyer who would collect the next day. The dealer duly came round next day and honoured the price, transferred the money and took my car. Friendly and helpful, I will be recommending these guys to my friends when they are wanting to sell.
Mr Fletcher-Price, Eastbourne
Great stuff guys!! You gave me a really great service, quick, prompt and surpassed my expectations. Got more for my Range Rover than I was offered and helped me find a new one.
Mr Green, Edinburgh
Absolutely brilliant. What a service. Definitely recommend. Phoned me on the Friday and the car was away on the Monday. So stress free. Would use again.
Mrs Adams, Herts
I used Get It Gone to sell my Audi, what a fantastic service. I got more money for my car than one of the big car buying companies. My A3 also got collected from my door and the deal was completed within 48 hours. A big thanks to Kevin and Edward who dealt with me so professionally.

Emiliano's Well-Traveled Nursery
Name: Emiliano (4 months)
Location: Beijing, China
We just welcomed our little Emiliano last July and moved to this two bedroom apartment only four weeks before his birth. Decorating with a huge belly, the stress of the move and birth was not easy.
We live in a rental apartment in Beijing. The landlords do not allow having the walls painted or making any holes on the walls, so we had to find a way to use the existing ones and stick with the white on the wall as well. Also there are some items in the room that we cannot get rid of, such as the very old AC in the room!
Our favorite piece is the custom-made Eiffel Tower. We saw a similar one in a vintage shop in Beijing and decided to have one made as shelves for toys and gifts from friends and family. The crib, changing table and sofa are all IKEA. The only Chinese touch is the vintage stroller that we use as a side table.
Thanks, Patricia!

Hellomynameis is absolutely correct.
In a week or two, we'll be including data for your own collected pets' breeds on our site. At that time, you'll be able to scroll over a pet in your collection to view its breed info, or view any pet profile of a pet you've collected and it will default to the level, breed and quality you've collected.

It's entirely appropriate that Silicon Valley's first season climaxes with a nerdy, meandering dick joke. After all, and I say this with love, isn't Silicon Valley itself pretty much one big nerdy, meandering dick joke?
After all, Gavin Belson's declaration that "no matter what you may have heard, size matters" is as much a kitschy joke as it is an (inadvertent) acknowledgement that he's been locked in a big dick contest with Pied Piper from the minute Richard turned down the ten million. Despite Pied Piper's victory-by-lawsuit-avoidance, catapulting them to Disrupt's final round and giving Erlich's ego a nice firm stroke in the process, Hooli's unveiling of Nucleus leaves Pied Piper all but dead in the water, bested by identical compression algorithms with ten times the functionality. Though the Pied Piper boys have plenty of pluck, Hooli has the speed, the features, and goddamn it, they have Shakira.
With a day to go before their public execution, "Optimal Tip-to-Tip Efficiency" follows the boys as they do their best to bail their sinking ship. Erlich opts for the cornered animal approach ("Act erratically, and blindly lash out at anything around us"), spreading rumors by denying them in order to undermine Gavin's confidence and boost their profile. Jared, fried from four days on Robot Forklift Island, becomes obsessed with pivoting into a new business model (like how ChatRoulette started as a social platform but became a playground for the sexually monstrous). Dinesh and Gilfoyle surreptitiously try to get themselves recruited by upstart startup Kwerpy while proving to themselves that they're not dickheads. And Richard gets himself a date... with a lady.
I'll be running down these threads in the comments, sharing my li'l thoughts and talking about dicks. What did you think? Will you be coming back next season? Did everything Entourage up too tidy in the end? Interested, very interested, or very interested? Let's talk it all out.

At the Electronics&Automation event in the Jaarbeurs in Utrecht they had a new gadget.
It's more common these days that technological events have eventgadgets. You have to walk past some company's in order to gather the components. So company's get people to sell their stuff to and the visitor gets a gadget.
At the E&A event you could gather a Helios gadget.
Even better, for the electro geeks. They build them at the event. There was a whole production line for making the gadget at the event.
Due to the publicity all the Helios gadgets where reserved they even needed to produce 500 pieces on the event itself to get all visitors happy.
What is a Helios. Well basically it is an:
- Arduino with a:
- WiFly module
- LED matrix
- high power LED's
- color sensor
- light sensor on board
So worth at least $60 of components for free, or like we Dutch people always see: "is gratis" (everywhere I come I hear this).
What's in the pack
When gathering this gadget this is what you get:
- Battery's
- USB A -> USB micro cable (standard)
- Gadget itself, loaded with:
- a software sketch which broadcasts a SSID
- tested in front of you
- calibrated at the event
Because of its popularity all the company's who worked on the Helios decided to make a support site where you can read (in dutch only) some information. At the moment of writing there is not that much data available but it will come in the future. Even for a n00b haxx0r Arduino is good place to begin so it couldn't be that difficult.
Actually legions of possibility's are within grasp. But maybe this is a nice tool for enhancing our space-automation.
Starting Problems
As in every project there are startup failures. In this case I got compile errors from my Arduino IDE:
Helios_EEPROM_24AA014.cpp:27:21: error: arduino.h: No such file or directory
So after thinking a lot and investigating my own machine, because that's where are problems start I decided to take a better look at the program code. Because the default blinky programs worked on a normal Arduino Uno.
So when I compared some .cpp files I noticed that a #include statement was including a file with lowercase chars. And the file I had on my system in /usr/share/arduino/hardware/arduino/cores/arduino started with a capital char 'A'. So it had to be
#include "Arduino.h"
To make sure I did a recursive grep in the library directory to the files which belong to the Helios device with the following command:
$ grep -R "arduino.h" ./
As a result I got these files:
- Helios_EEPROM_24AA014.cpp
- Helios_Temperature_Sensor_TMP006.cpp
- BEURS_Colour_Sensor.TCS3414.cpp
- Helios.cpp
- Helios_Colour_Sensor.TCS3414.cpp
After changing those particular files, which wasn't that hard, the compile errors disappeared.
To commit something to the community I placed a post on the Helios website as well, which is documented in Dutch --> HeliosGadget - Forum Linux !! klein probleempje.
But after all the work we've got it working, as proof I placed a small video on youtube.
After some problems with the WiFi library's I placed a post on the Helios forum with my possible solution. But someone had actually read the datasheets and told me that the WiFly module is connected to the Serial1. The post I mentioned can be read here.
Short, this is the solution to it: Change this
WiFly wifly(2, 3);
into this:
WiFly wifly(&Serial1);
And place this in the setup()
Better Library's
For better WiFly library's look at these. These are the ones I used for updating and prototyping. https://github.com/kasperkamperman/WiFly_communicator

This table allows you to quickly get subsections of the SQL traceoutput. So, for example, you can find out how many queriestookmore than 1 second to run by executing the following query:
select count(*) fromsyssqltrace where sql_totaltime >1;
You can obviously drill down and get additional information includingthe actual queries that were run that took more than 1 second.
The table syssqltrace is not the only table, however, that coversinformation regarding SQL tracing. The table syssqltrace_iter
provides information in the form of an iterator tree for each sql. This allows you to know what part of your plan took the mosttime to run.
These two tables allow you to use the information gathered from SQLtracing, and will allow you to generate reports, and diagnose problemSQL more efficiently.

==Under Construction==
Revision as of 15:58, 4 March 2011
Since ECF 3.3/Helios release in June 2010, ECF has provided a full implementation of the OSGi Remote Services specification. This specification is in the OSGi 4.2 compendium, chapter 13. You can download the compendium specification here.
As of our 3.5 release (March 2011), we now also support the Remote Services Admin specification. This is chapter 122 from the OSGi enterprise specification, and you can download this specification here.
What's Remote Services Admin?
Remote Services Admin (RSA) is the specification of a management agent for remote services. The Remote Services spec (chapter 13), defines the programmer-specified service properties for exporting an OSGi service as a remote service, but does not say anything about the mechanism or implementation of the two major subsystems involved: discovery (for knowing that a remote service is available on some network), and distribution (for accessing and using that remote service). For those that need to control and/or customize the actual discovery and distribution of an OSGi service over a network, the management agent specified by RSA allows them to have a much greater degree of control...i.e. to allow them to more easily secure remote services, to optionally use multiple/alternative communications protocols for both discovery and distribution, to customize and extend the behavior of both discovery and distribution as needed for more complex/enterprise use cases. The RSA specification defines the API for this remote services management agent, and ECF 3.5 provides a complete/spec-compliant, small, easily customizable and extensible, cross-framework implementation.
RSA Implementation
The RSA implementation uses ECF's discovery API and ECF's Remote Service API to implement the management agent's discovery and distribution subsystems. ECF's RSA implementation is complete and fully compliant with the specfication. We are in the process of getting access to the OSGi Test Compatibility Kit (TCK), and will verify full compliance with the specification through use of that TCK as soon as possible.
Unique ECF-provided Features
Transport Independence
Since both the discovery and remote services apis are transport independent, and the ECF RSA implementation only uses these APIs themselves, the ECF RSA impl is also transport independent, allowing remote services to 'mix and match' discovery and distribution systems. For example, ECF currently has discovery providers based upon the following network discovery protocols:
- Apache Zookeeper
- Bonjour/Zeroconf
- Service Locator Protocol/SLP
- DNS-SD (DNS Service Discovery)
- Others
and the following distribution providers
- R-osgi
- ECF Generic
- REST-based protocols
- SOAP-based protocols
- JMS-based protocols
- JavaGroups
- Others
Discovery and distribution providers...implemented as OSGi modules...may be mixed and matched in order to satisfy development-time and/or deployment-time requirements...for remote service security, for scalability, and/or for interoperability and integration with existing systems.
As well, new (proprietary or open) discovery providers and/or distribution providers can be easily created and used as specification-compliant implementations of both RS and RSA...without any changes to the applications that export remote services or use RSA specification-defined programmatic API. This is possible because of ECF's transport-independent, open, community-tested APIs (discovery and remote services).
Further, ECF's transport independence makes it extremely convenient to develop and test remote services using one discovery provider (e.g. Bonjour/Zeroconf) and deploy with another (e.g. Zookeeper).
Asynchronous Remote Services
In addition to fully supporting the OSGi-specified synchronous remote services, ECF provides the means to easily define and use asynchronous remote services. This capability is described with code examples here.
ECF's RSA implementation is written to OSGi specifications, and so can/does run on multiple OSGi frameworks. We have some (small) amount of cross-framework testing, but are looking to do much more. Equinox is currently our primary framework (for development and testing), and Felix has been minimally tested. We would be very interested in working with anyone willing to help us test more thoroughly on Felix or other OSGi frameworks.
Source Code
ECF has moved to git for source code control, and the ECF repo can be found here.
The main bundles for the RSA are in osgi/bundles in the following projects:
- org.eclipse.ecf.osgi.remoteserviceadmin: OSGi-provided specified API classes
- org.eclipse.ecf.osgi.services.remoteserviceadmin: The ECF RSA implementation
- org.eclipse.ecf.osgi.services.remoteserviceadmin.proxy
Support and Bug Reporting

After Constable Watson's death in 1932 he was replaced by Swedish immigrant Harry Johanson, known to the locals as Harry Jo. After taking over as constable, Harry Jo also became Tahoe's first deputy sheriff, deputy tax collector and deputy coroner, covering his beat in the summer by horseback and by dogsled in the winter.
