Whether she's playing a petulant tomboy in a Jon Tracy remake of Antigone, an alpha wife in Alan Ayckbourn's The Norman Conquests, or a malevolent financial management vixen in Central Works' Reduction in Force, Berkeley actress Kendra Lee Oberhauser inhabits all of her characters with verve. She's a fine-featured blond who can easily morph into a femme fatale, whether or not you abet her with a weapon or a pair of stiletto heels. And she'll handle just about any role: Olivia in Twelfth Night; Mina Murray in Dracula; the evil boss in a Wall Street farce; Poppy Norton-Taylor in Noises Off; the plucky servant Louka in Arms and the Man. This spring Oberhauser starred in a Sleepwalkers Theatre production of Adam Chaznit's Down to This, a pulpy revenge story with two different endings. She's one of the few local actresses who consistently land big parts, and has evidently formed strong relationships with many local companies. For someone operating in a cutthroat and ever-shrinking medium, that's no small feat.

Heat Transfer Enhancement Inside Elliptic Tube by Means of Rings Inserts
Heat transfer, friction factor and enhancement efficiency characteristics in an elliptic tube fitted with elliptic rings have been investigated experimentally. In the experiments, air was used as the tested fluid with a Reynolds number range of 10000 to 32464. The experimental results show a considerable increase in friction factor and heat transfer over the plain tube under the same operation conditions. Over the range investigated, the Nusselt numbers for both employed enhancement devices with different pitches are found to be higher than that of the plain tube. It was found that the best overall enhancement was achieved with pitch = 3d. The results obtained are correlated in the form of Nusselt number and friction factor as a function of Reynolds number and pitches. The results were compared with circular tubes have the same test conditions to show the difference between the circular and elliptic tubes.
Key words: Heat transfer enhancement; Elliptic tube

HOUSTON, Texas (CNN) — Dylan Quick overcame a childhood disability and had big plans for the future.
But on Tuesday, the 20-year-old student went on a stabbing spree on his Texas college campus, authorities said.
By the time campus police took him into custody, 14 people had been injured at Lone Star College. It's unclear how many of the injured were stabbed and how many suffered other injuries.
The campus shut down Tuesday, but will reopen Wednesday.
Quick landed in jail. For now, his plans for the future may be in jeopardy.
Overcoming obstacles
Quick was born deaf and received a cochlear implant at age 7, CNN affiliate KPRC reported. An article on how he overcame challenges early in life appeared on a Lone Star student blog the first week of April.
The implant gave him the ability to hear, but he had to play catch-up to learn how to speak English.
His mother homeschooled him and got him involved in Lone Star's library programs, when he was a teen, according to KPRC.
Quick became a voracious reader and developed a close connection with the school northwest of Houston, where he later became a student, the affiliate said. H
e was planning to finish his associate's degree there and transfer to the University of Houston to study accounting.
The young man dreamed of starting a book club. But Quick had also been harboring a darker dream, police said.
Authorities: The rampage was premeditated
Quick told investigators he had fantasies of killing people and had been planning the attack for some time, sheriff's officials said late Tuesday. Quick used "a razor-type knife" to stab his victims, they added.
"According to the statement the suspect voluntarily gave investigators, he has had fantasies of stabbing people to death since he was in elementary school," a statement from the Harris County Sheriff's Office said.
Quick has been charged with three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, said Donna Hawkins of the Harris County Prosecutor's Office.
Two of those injured remained hospitalized in critical condition late Tuesday, said Kathryn Klein, a spokeswoman for the Memorial Hermann Texas Trauma Institute.
Witnesses described a chaotic scene. Bleeding victims collapsed to the ground. Students and teachers ran for cover. Some sprang into action, chasing after the assailant and helping the wounded.
Cassie Foe was in the school's nursing lab when she heard a scream coming from the hallway.
Moments later, the nursing student put her training into action, placing pressure on a wound in a stabbing victim's neck.
"It just seemed like he was just going around, basically getting whoever was more open and easiest for him to reach," Foe told CNN's Anderson Cooper on Tuesday.
Steven Maida said he saw so many people swarming that he thought it was a campus tour. Then, he saw them running and heard someone say, "My friend's been stabbed."
Maida said he saw blood on a stairway and several injured victims.
"I just took off downstairs running," he said. He was looking for the attacker.
Maida described joining a group of students who chased the suspect, tackled him and pinned him down until authorities arrived.
"I couldn't run the other way like everyone else was," he said.
A bloody spree
Harris County Sheriff's Deputy Thomas Gilliland said authorities received an initial report that the suspect had been wrestled to the ground by a student before campus police arrested him.
At least one injured victim had what appeared to be the blade of a box cutter or an X-Acto knife sticking out of her cheek, student Melody Vinton told CNN affiliate KHOU.
Vinton said she had just left her chemistry class when she saw the attacker stabbing people, aiming at their necks and faces.
Soon, she was trying to help victims, ripping a paper towel dispenser off a bathroom wall to get enough paper to help stem the bleeding.
"I turned around, and there was just blood. Just blood dripping down the stairs, all over the floor, all over everyone's towels on their necks. Just a lot of blood," told KHOU.
The school was on lockdown Tuesday afternoon while authorities combed the campus to ensure no other injured people or attackers were there, Harris County sheriff's spokesman Alan Bernstein said.
While authorities investigated, teachers and students huddled together in locked rooms, said Marianna Sviland, a teacher who was in a faculty workroom at the time of the stabbing.
"Outside the window, I saw cops running around. I saw students running, and I realized something was going on," she said. "It was scary."
Four injured victims "were taken out on helicopters," Bernstein said.
Tuesday's incident comes more than two months after three people were wounded in a shooting at a different Lone Star College campus — the North Harris campus in Houston.

Record-Breaking Thread
- Updated
I ordered new speakers for my car. I hope it's not too hard to put them in. After 11 years with the Foci, the stock ones really sound like crap.2 Replies
Yeah, I'm at the same point with my Civic. I hardly drive it, anymore, and Jadzia drives it daily. She's content with the stock soundsystem, but I'm not. So, it'll probably get changed, this year (for the 6 times a year I drive it ).
I used to drive the Kia, but since DH's hip surgery, the clutch is just too stiff in the Foci, so I started driving it. I got a new reciever for it last fall, and it's really shown the limitations of the stock speakers. I am afraid I'm going to end up with a sub yet, but I don't want one really, because I'll lose so much space.
good morning all, my factory system in my beater saturn sounds great because the original owners never used the radio and the speakers are well hidden from the sun so 11 years later it still sounds great i think it's an infinti system ( hard to believe for a " cheap " car )3 Replies
I need to get my hearing tested. That or I am just really good at ignoring people.
awwww, maarp..... that's not nice, i can hear 20-19khz, yes i was tested recently. at last i don't follow a road crew and get sealant allover my car, oh that's right you weren't driving, but who was came from your gene pool, so what does that say buddy...... lol
my wife just added that i hear things but i don't listen.....
suddenly, this is is the chatroom for C/Ders, instead of just being a record breaking thread (while it is still trying to break records).4 Replies
I was referring specifically to the thread. it's nice to have a central hangout though. that would mostly consist of the whole forum, but a small hub is nice.
Tha is the point. This thread was started over a decade ago in the old C/D site. The tradition continues here, where posters can say "screw you" to their employers and generally waste time in a friendly environment.
good hump day morning people, well you made to 1/2 way thru the week, be thankfull you weren't pitching in tampa last night, did anyone see the former phil ja happ get drilled right between the eyes with a line drive in bottom of 2nd inning ? i thought he had died ( another earnhardt on tv ) but after a while he moved his legs and right arm so he was still here but you know that had to hurt like all get out, but those of you who work jobs that keep you in a frame of mind that you'll never get anywhere already know that feeling..... been there, done that2 Replies
Yeah, it was scary. All they were talking about on the sports radio this morning. Looks like he will be ok.
My brother, a decent sized guy, hit the pitcher once, right above the eye. His glasses went flying and he crumpled like he'd been shot. I thought he was dead. He got up after about 10 minuets though and he was okay. Pretty phenomenal what the human body can endure.

RL is not the problem in Vancouver. Not even close. If I had to take anyone on that team, it may be him. Their problem is not the goalie, their problem is that their stars don't show up in the playoffs and nobody scores any goals. Goals scored per team so far (that have played 4 games):
Pittsburgh: 17
San Jose: 15
Islanders: 14
Ottawa: 14
Anaheim: 13
Chicago: 12
Detroit: 9
Montreal: 8
Vancouver: 8
Los Angeles: 7
St. Louis: 7
Minnesota: 6
They aren't at the bottom but they are close and the teams that are below them are in pretty rough shape. Minnies down 3-1, and lets be honest, St. Louis and LA are defensive minded teams, Vancouver's strength is not their defence. It's suppost to be their high powered offence with the Sedins, Kesler, Burrows, Raymond, Roy, etc. Brent Burns, a defenseman, put up the same points tally as Vancouvers top scorer, heck, Scott Hanna, who put up 1 point the entire regular season, almost matched the Sedins. Yup, Vancouvers problem is not RL!
True, but when you're getting out hit, getting out shot (146 vs 126), taking more penatlies (24 vs 10), getting out hussled (SJ had 42 take aways Van had 30), losing more faceoffs (160 vs 125), blocking less shots, basically losing in every statistical category they track, it sounds pretty lame to blame the goalie. Besides, RL save % was 0.915, Schneiders was 0.880 with 4.62 GAA.
Notice I wasn't blaming the goalie? I simply asked what the sweep meant for RL's trade value - I happen to know that maarp resides in hockey's biggest market, one which - if I'm not mistaken - is still a potential destination for RL in the offseason.
I did, I was just going in a round about way of saying that since the team played really lousy in front of him, RL was not the reason they lost, and the sweep will have little effect on his trade value.
Google Doodle is cool today.

My friend Hannah is one of the most talented girls I know! She makes bows for all of our daughters, bakes Challah every week and she has one really phenomenal talent that I just HAD to share with you all: She creates gorgeous mosaic gifts! It started as a hobby when we were kids: we all took art classes together. One summer we did mosaics instead of painting. I stuck with the painting and haven't made a cent! She stuck with the Mosaics and has turned it into a career!
She makes everything from Shabbat trays, monogramed backgammon sets, picture frames, even a menorah!
Her pieces are so beautiful:
I really cant believe how good she is! The trays, the backgammon sets! Monogrammed! I die.
I am ordering a monogramed backgammon set for my living room stat. I already have an adorable picture frame with my baby's name that Hannah gave me as a baby gift!
Her prices range from $30 for a small picture frame to Shabbat trays at $175, Monogramed trays start at $225.
Email her at mailto:email@example.com to order.
Happy Passover! I bet Hannah makes one killer Matzah tray!!!

The educational 'Leitmotiv' of the GRK1591 is to enable students to conduct independent and internationally competitive research in the life sciences with a focus on post-transcriptional regulation. Training is embedded in an interdisciplinary network, which also includes translational aspects. Accordingly, the graduate program brings together research and educational expertise from the faculty of Natural Sciences I (Biological Sciences) and the Faulty of Medicine of the MLU. This joining of efforts provides a new concept that has substantially promoted research and training efforts in the life science focus of the MLU during the first funding period (2010-2014).
The main objective of the training program is not to provide more courses and lectures redundant with the curricula students already went through but to support students in their thesis projects and scientific careers. In continuation of the first funding period the training program consists of four modules:
(1) Student Seminar
(2) Colloquia
(3) Retreats
(4) Workshops

Q: Last time I made pate a choux for chocolate eclairs, I used the same recipe that I've used for 30 years. But for some reason, they did not puff up as expected. Any thoughts on what went wrong?
—Tom Gull, Oak Park
A: A quick call got Tom Gull's basic recipe: Heat 1 cup water, 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, 1/4 teaspoon salt; stir in 1 cup flour. Remove from heat, beat in 4 eggs. Bake at 375 degrees for 50 minutes. It's hard to say what exactly went wrong without tasting your eclairs but I did ask some sources who know their way around a pate a choux dough to take a stab at guessing what might have happened.
Dorie Greenspan, the baking authority who divides her time between New York, Paris and Westbrook, Conn., thought your water-only version may be derived from an old-time choux pastry recipe. She prefers to add milk to the dough for a bit of richness. She also questioned the 50-minute baking time, wondering if that was too long. Generally, she likes to bake choux pastry for 30 to 35 minutes but noted longer time might be needed if you make larger eclairs.
Let's take a quick moment here to define for other readers what pate a choux is and what it's used for. Pate a choux pastry is "the only one I can think of that is cooked and then baked: you make a cooked mixture of milk, water, butter, and flour before you add the eggs and bake it,'' Greenspan wrote in her book, "Around My French Table," In a telephone interview from Connecticut, she explained the water, milk and butter in the choux dough release steam during the baking, puffing the dough up. The egg, she said, adds flavor and gives structure and support to the expanding dough as it bakes.
Choux is used in a number of ways, to make desserts like eclairs, cream puffs, profiteroles and savories like the cheese-flavored gougeres. Baked choux may be stuffed with some sort of filling and/or topped with a sauce or icing.
Making a choux pastry is relatively easy but there are some tricks to consider.
Eagranie Yuh, a food writer, chemist and chocolate expert based in Vancouver, B.C., recommends making sure the batter is relatively dry after mixing on the stove top. A soggy dough won't puff as much, she said, describing the ideal choux dough as feeling like a stiff, sticky paste and looking satiny and shiny.
Greenspan said it is important to move quickly once the dough is made.
"Pate a choux is best shaped and baked while it is warm,'' she said. "Make it, pipe it, bake it. Or, make it, pipe it, freeze it. Don't let it sit." Also, make sure your oven is good and hot. Greenspan said you need a high temperature to give the dough a "spring" as it begins .
While the choux can be baked hours ahead, as she writes in an article on cream puffs in the May issue of "Bon Appetit" magazine, it's best to fill them "right before serving for the best texture and temperature contrast."
Cream puff dough
Dorie Greenspan's choux recipe from her book, "Around My French Table," can be used for sweets or savories. While this recipe makes 24 cream puffs, Greenspan notes the dough can be "spooned out small, so you've got bite-sized treats, or big, so that you can fill the puffs with enough salad to call it lunch or enough whipped cream and berries to call it a party." Place the shaped choux dough on lined baking sheets and put in an oven heated to 425 degrees. Immediately turn the temperature down to 375 degrees; bake for 12 minutes. Rotate the baking sheets in the oven, continue baking until the puffs are golden, firm and puffed, about 15 to 18 minutes more.
1/2 cup each: whole milk, water
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into 4 pieces
1 tablespoon sugar (if you are making something sweet)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup flour
4 large eggs, room temperature
1. Bring the milk, water, butter, sugar (if you are using it), salt to a rapid boil in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan over high heat. Add the flour all at once, lower the heat to medium-low, immediately start stirring energetically with a wooden spoon or heavy whisk. The dough will come together and a light crust will form on the bottom of the pan. Keep stirring vigorously for another minute or two to dry the dough. The dough should be very smooth.
2. Turn the dough into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or into a bowl you can mix with a hand mixer or a wooden spoon. Let the dough sit for a minute, then add the eggs one by one and beat until the dough is thick and shiny. Make sure that each egg is completely incorporated before you add the next. Once the dough is made, use immediately, baking or freezing the shaped puffs.

text: I found this on line and wish to share. The recipe came from November 1993 American Bee Journal by John Iannuzzi page 771. We purchased our yeast and extract on line. You need eight empty 2 liter bottles to put the ingredients into. Ingredients 1/8 oz dry wine yeast 4 gallon H2o-water (=32#) 2 quarts honey (=6#) 2 fl oz of rootbeer extract We mixed out ingredients in a five gallon bucket then filled eight cleaned 2 liter plastic soda bottles with the mix, placed the filled 2 liter bottles with their lids screwed on tight on the floor of wifes laundry room and could hardly wait to taste test, my two youngest grandchildren were my helpers. Approximately 24 hours later my wife yelled "There is rootbeer on the floor in the laundry", the pressure inside the bottle had exceeded the holding pressure capacity of the used lids I guess, so we immediately put all the bottles into a refrigerator---standing upright I hope you enjoy trying this recipe as much as we do. THE MANUFACTURING First step-Dissolve the yeast in a half cup of warm water Second step-Pour three gallons of warm water (80 degrees) into the five gallon white plastic bucket. Third step-Pour the honey into the bucket using the remaining gallon of water to rinse the honey jars. Fourth step- dump the extract into the bucket. Fifth step-Place the dissolved yeast into the bucket. Stir well. Sixth step-With the eight topless 2 liter plastic bottles near by, start filling using a funnel. Fill to within 1 inch from the top. Seventh step-Screw on bottle lids and place the filled plastic bottles on their sides in a warm spot for 48 hours or until the bottles get rigid. Eighth step-Store in refrigerator upright or prone depending on clearance.

Weekly Photo challenge: Sunlight breaking through my window
A part of her was always hidden away, like the moon.
She shined bright from afar, everybody wanted to touch her.
They could 'almost' reach her but never really could.
They could see what was on the surface but never got close enough to see the rough edges and scars on her skin.
Her placid skin did well to hide the marks of her struggle.
Just like a moon she shone bright with light, little did others know it wasn't her own.
That light was an illusion to mask the darkness that resided within her.
The light was to cover the surface so nobody could see the black hole in place of what once was her heart.
The dark hole sucking her existence inch by inch
So light was necessary to not let people see her blinking out of existence.
And One day just like that, she disappeared.
This is going to be my last post for a while. I have to take a break (again, I know) and I don't expect everyone to understand (but I really hope you all do). I will be back by the end of July hopefully. When I return I have got a huge (and by huge I mean absolutely humongous) announcement to make, the most important announcement of my life as of yet. Keeping my fingers crossed for that. If everything goes well, I will be back to tell you all about it. I can't wait to share it with you all already. See you all soon. Loads and Loads of Love, Zee.

Trapped between the Religious and Secular Fronts
"The Muslim Brothers or us, that's the question now," says the Coptic journalist Karima Kamal from Egypt's independent newspaper Al Masri al Youm.
"It's like in a war. You have to choose which side you're on and I'm against the Muslim Brothers. This is not the time for subtle differentiations." Cairo's intellectuals and liberals are in a state of turmoil – many are afraid of repressions by the Islamists if the referendum takes place as planned and voters wave through the new constitution with its Islamist leanings.
Following major protests, President Mohammed Morsi has at least revoked the dictatorial powers he awarded himself per decree. Yet the liberals not only fear that the ruling Muslim Brothers might restrict civil rights and liberties. They are also afraid radical forces might take targeted action against unpopular individuals of their own accord.
Islamist mobilisation against liberal forces
Islamist agitators are fanning the flames of hate in Cairo – and it is unclear whether they are being deliberately steered or the government has lost control over the situation. Feeding these fears even further, the state only has partial command of law and order and there is no relying on the police force.
That became particularly clear at the pro-Morsi demonstrations of the past two weeks, for which the Muslim Brothers bussed in supporters from around the country. Speakers whipped up the crowd with slogans aimed against Egypt's liberal and secular elites. Threats were made of an upcoming "cleansing of the liberal media". Words such as "our next meeting will be on Tahrir Square and any liberal who gets killed will go straight to hell" have caused much concern among liberals.
"It has nothing to do with religion," says the psychiatrist and activist Basma Abdel Aziz. A slim woman with short black curls, she has dark shadows under her eyes. Her column for the newspaper al Shourouk makes her a fairly well-known personality in Cairo, and she finds the developments "alarming".
She had never before heard such public expressions of hate towards secular forces as at the Muslim Brothers' demonstration outside Cairo University, which was broadcast nationwide on live television. "It's such aggressive statements before a large mass of people, many of whom are illiterate, that I find threatening." Running battles between Islamists and liberals on Tahrir Square and outside the presidential palace in Heliopolis are no solution for her. She thinks the liberals ought to face up to the country's dire social problems to a greater extent.
Severe economic problems
In his election campaign, Mohammed Morsi made bold promises to make tangible improvements to the Egyptians' living conditions in his first hundred days in office. Nothing has happened so far, however. While the Islamists are paralysing the country with their power games, the economy is going downhill at an alarming rate. Foreign-currency reserves have been approximately halved since the revolution and are now at around 15 billion US dollars only. Yet Egypt urgently needs the money, for instance for food subsidies, without which the poorest sections of the population would starve.
In the meantime, not even the administration is working. Basma Abdel Aziz describes the state of affairs at the health ministry as chaotic. Since Morsi took office in June 2012, there have been five changes of ministers.
None of the newly appointed men, she says, have made any attempt to tackle the urgent problems in the health sector. Corruption is just as widespread as before, and she cannot see evidence of any government efforts to improve the health system.
Disappointed with the revolution
While the elites see themselves in a culture struggle between a liberal and a more strongly Islamic direction, the poor are growing increasingly disappointed in a revolution that has brought them no improvements whatsoever to date. According to the World Bank, some 35 percent of Egyptians live below the poverty line, and around 40 percent are illiterate. It is their frustration that harbours Egypt's real explosive potential.
"Our main problem in Egypt is the rampant poverty," says Raghda El-Ebrashi, a lecturer in Management Strategies at the German University in Cairo. Alongside her teaching at the private German institution, El-Ebrashi works towards improving opportunities for the unemployed on Egypt's overstretched labour market. She wears a headscarf, comes from a privileged family, and yet is still aware of the often desperate situation for the unemployed and underprivileged.
Her comment on the current state of the nation: "It's the poor who suffer most from the bad economic situation. If a solution doesn't come soon we really will descend into civil war."

Galileo Gives Gadget Makers Great Power
Oct 4, 2013 11:39 AM PT
Intel on Thursday announced Galileo, a microcontroller development board made jointly with open source hardware company Arduino for the education and maker markets.
Based on Intel's recently announced Quark system on a chip, the Galileo board will be available by the end of November for less than US$60, Intel spokesperson Kari Aakre told TechNewsWorld.
"Intel Galileo brings the power of a 400 MHz Quark CPU core to natively run the Arduino sketch application," Aakre explained. "The Quark SoC X1000 offers advanced security options and all the flexibility of a full Linux stack."
The chip giant has also donated Galileo boards to 17 universities throughout the world in a program that will involve 1,000 academic institutions over the next 18 months.
Two New Sciences
Arduino offers a single-board microcontroller whose hardware consists of an open-source hardware board designed around either an 8-bit Atmel AVR microcontroller or a 32-bit Atmel ARM processor. The software consists of a standard programming language compiler and a boot loader that executes on the microcontroller.
Connectors are exposed, letting users connect the board to interchangeable add-on modules known as shields. Some shields communicate directly with the board over pins and others can be addressed individually through an I2C serial bus so that shields can be stacked and used in parallel.
The Intel Quark SoC X1000 Application Processor, meanwhile, is a 32-bit single-core, single-thread CPU compatible with Pentium instruction set architecture operating at up to 400 MHz. It is designed for applications where lower power and a smaller size are more important than high performance.
Galileo's Tech Specs
Galileo is hardware and software pin-compatible with Arduino shields and comes with standard I/O interfaces including ACPI; PCI Express; 10/100 MB Ethernet; USB 2.0; and EHCI/OHCI USB host ports; an RS-232 serial port; programmable NOR flash; and a JTAG port for debugging.
It uses the Arduino software libraries, enabling scalability and reuse of existing software, called "sketches" by the Arduino community.
The 4.2-by-2.8-inch board is the first of a series of products Intel plans to offer jointly with Arduino. It can be programmed through Mac OS, Windows, and Linux.
Eppur Si Muove?
Intel is "trying to target the next generation of designers" with the Galileo board, Jim McGregor, principal analyst at Tirias Research, told TechNewsWorld.
Collaborating with Arduino on the Galileo board "is a good strategy" because "the maker community [are] inventive designers who typically use off-the-shelf Linux and smaller compact designer boards ... and it looks like Intel's trying to take advantage of that community.
"You have to give them something that is easy to use, flexible and cheap," he added.
Intel's "strong ecosystem of commercially available systems will [let] developers ... rapidly take commercial solutions to market," Aakre said.
School Days
Intel has "always worked a lot with universities and education, so it looks like they're trying to expand that in whatever way they can," McGregor surmised.
The company's program to seed universities with Galileo boards will give each institution 40 Galileo boards; an integrated development platform for Arduino on Intel architecture and a guide for getting started with Arduino on IA, both available later this year; and access to the Arduino on IA support community.
"We are already engaged with more than 500 universities supporting curriculum and research covering areas such as mobility, high-performance computing and embedded design," Intel's Aakre pointed out.
Taking Care of the Community
"We see the Arduino community at the forefront of exciting invention and design -- both big and small -- and through this collaboration we will ensure that this growing community has access to the latest Intel technologies, whether it's the school kid, the hobbyist or the professional designer," Aakre explained.
That's critical, too, because "if you're a one- or two-man band trying to come up with a new product, Intel or Pi or other companies may not have the bandwidth to help you," McGregor concluded, "but the community can."

Watch: Pence Defends US Embassy Ban on LGBTQ Pride Flags
Vice President Mike Pence is responding to the ban on LGBTQ rainbow Pride flags from hanging at U.S. embassies.
NBC News asked Pence about the ban during an interview.
"I'm aware that the State Department indicated that on the flagpole of our American embassies; that one flag should fly and that's the American flag and I support that," he explained. "As the president said on the night that we were elected we're proud to serve every American and we both feel that way very passionately, but when it comes to the American flagpole at American embassies in capitals around the world having the one American flag fly I think is the right decision and we put no restrictions on displaying any other flags or any other displays at our embassies beyond that."
Pence's comments follow a Facebook post from Evangelist Rev. Franklin Graham, who thanked the Trump administration for the ban on Pride flags at U.S. embassies.

While announcing the appointment of Howard Jordan as the city's new interim police chief last October, City Administrator Deanna Santana told reporters at a City Hall press conference that she was also hiring Thomas Frazier as a consultant. Frazier is a former Baltimore police commissioner who also worked for the San Jose Police Department for 27 years. Santana knew Frazier from her time as a deputy city manager in San Jose, and she said he would help OPD finally live up to the reforms mandated in the federal consent decree. Six months later, however, Frazier and Santana were involved in a testy and lengthy email exchange over the contents of a hard-hitting report that Frazier had produced on OPD, its dysfunctional culture, and its heavy-handed response to Occupy Oakland.
The emails, obtained by this reporter, show that Santana wanted to redact portions of Frazier's report that included strong criticisms of OPD. In one email, Santana's chief of staff Alexandra Orologas also requested that Frazier send a draft of his report in Microsoft Word format to Santana to make it easier for city officials to alter the report's contents. Santana also requested that Frazier send the report to her private Comcast email account — in a move that could have kept the email exchanges and the alterations that Santana intended to make to the report from becoming public. Santana also apparently sought to keep a draft copy of the report, and the changes she wanted to make to it, out of the hands of one of Mayor Jean Quan's top aides.
Frazier, however, steadfastly refused Santana's request to send his report to her in Microsoft Word or to her private email, writing at one point: "I'm afraid we can't do that."
The emails also show Frazier refused a request from Santana that might have resulted in most of his report being kept secret. The city administrator wanted him to "bifurcate" the report's executive summary from its actual findings. After Frazier refused again and Santana and Quan finally released his report in full in June, the actual findings made up the lion's share of the report and included criticisms of OPD's inadequate planning before the October 25 raid on Occupy Oakland; the use of internal affairs officers during the raid, some of whom would later investigate complaints against OPD; failures by the department to follow its own crowd-control policy; a seriously mishandled criminal investigation into the wounding of Iraq War veteran Scott Olsen; revelations that Olsen was gravely wounded by a beanbag round identical to those used by OPD that evening; and serious misgivings from OPD officers who told Frazier Group investigators about the department's lax attitude toward misconduct and discipline.
In an interview, Santana said she wanted Frazier's report in Microsoft Word format because she contended that an earlier version of the report was riddled with errors. "What I found was that more due diligence was needed," she said. "Facts had to be cleared up."
Frazier has declined requests to comment further about Oakland-related issues.
Since arriving in Oakland in August 2011, Santana has risen to a level of prominence seldom experienced by appointed municipal bureaucrats. The 41-year-old Massachusetts Institute of Technology graduate had cut her teeth as a public safety analyst in the Oakland City Manager's Office during the 1990s before becoming a deputy city manager in San Jose. Despite the tumult surrounding the city's response to Occupy Oakland protests last fall, Santana emerged with her law-and-order credentials intact. In a laudatory July 9 article, the San Francisco Chronicle hailed Santana as a firm-handed, principled official willing to make "gutsy calls," including the October 25 raid on the Occupy Oakland camp — a move initially opposed by Quan, whose public image has never recovered.
The raid on the tent city at Frank Ogawa Plaza and the subsequent violent encounters between Oakland police and demonstrators attracted global media attention. Moreover, it placed OPD's conduct under such scrutiny that the city's response to Occupy Oakland promises to play a major role in upcoming hearings over a potential federal takeover of the police department.
Santana, Quan, and other Oakland officials have all stated their opposition to federal control of OPD, and plan to oppose a receivership motion by civil rights attorneys John Burris and Jim Chanin in US District Judge Thelton Henderson's courtroom this December. One of the pieces of evidence the city will be fighting against is the Frazier Report.
When the report was released in June, there was already evidence that Oakland officials had attempted to sugarcoat its findings by adding their own "progress charts" to Frazier's evaluation (see "Damning Report of OPD," 6/20/12). However, Frazier told the Express at the time that he had no hand in creating the progress reports and had no way of verifying whether they were accurate.
The series of email exchanges between Santana, Frazier, and Santana's chief of staff Orologas had begun three months earlier when Santana fired off a missive to Frazier from her iPad asking him to send a draft of the report to her only — and to ignore a request by Quan's public safety advisor, Reygan Harmon, to also obtain a copy. Frazier responded that this was not a problem, and asked Santana how she wanted the report delivered: "On my list of questions for you was 1) How many copies do you want printed, and 2) Do you want any on CDs and if so, how many?"

Yemen: Aerial Bomb Attacks kill 87
There were no armed clashes or rebels in the area at the time, the witness said, but the area was close to a road sometimes used by Huthi rebels, and Yemeni online discussion forums reported clashes between Huthi rebels and government forces in the vicinity in the past. Some of the displaced persons carried automatic rifles, as is the custom for tribal men in that area of Yemen, the witness said.
Yemen News, an independent news website, earlier reported that 85 people had been killed in the repeated air raids, and the Associated Press quoted an ambulance driver who counted at least 120 persons driven to a hospital.
The armed conflict between the government and Huthi rebels in northern Yemen's Sa'da and 'Amran governorates, began in 2004. The previous round of fighting ended with a ceasefire in July 2008.
Human Rights Watch is extremely concerned about the consequences of the current fighting on the humanitarian situation in that region, based on reports coming from the United Nations and other humanitarian agencies in Yemen, as well as media reports. Current reports indicate that upward of 150,000 civilians have been displaced by the new fighting.
"The Yemeni government should be investigating what may have been a horrific attack on civilians," said Joe Stork, deputy Middle East director at Human Rights Watch. "Civilians should never be attacked."

The NBC series ''Community'' will finish the season without Chevy Chase.
Sony Pictures Television said Wednesday that the actor is leaving the sitcom by mutual agreement with producers.
His immediate departure means he won't be included in the last episode or two of the show's 13-episode season, which is still in production.
Chase had a rocky tenure playing a bored and wealthy man who enrolls in community college. The actor publicly expressed unhappiness at working on a sitcom and feuded last year with the show's creator and former executive producer, Dan Harmon.
The fourth-season premiere of ''Community'' is Feb. 7, when it makes a delayed return to the 8 p.m. EST Thursday time slot. The show's ensemble cast includes Joel McHale and Donald Glover.

Then imagine us totally transforming the look, significantly enhancing the livability and value of your home - in just a matter of days - with a gorgeous installation, done right the first time, by our certified, friendly and efficient crews and our diligent project managers.
Pavers are your "smart choice" over replacing cracked asphalt or concrete surfaces. Why? In Northern California we have expansive clay soils that swell up in the winter when it rains, and then shrink in the summer. This movement causes monolithic surfaces like asphalt or concrete to ultimately crack. Pavers are an "engineered system" composed of many individual stones, set into a very hard yet slightly "flexible" base. Once properly installed (according to ICPI - Interlocking Concrete Paving Institute - standards) the stones become "interlocked". Interlocking pavers offer you the best value and return on your investment - they will last a lifetime and you will never see a crack again!
We also specialize in Artificial Grass design and installation and garden walls, drainage solutions, landscape lighting and paver sealing that will enrich the paver color blends, preserve and protect your investment. We are certified installers and have specialty equipment to apply Seal 'N Lock which also helps prevent weed growth between the paver joints!

High school to get $10K from Oneidas for name change
- Cooperstown Central students in New York prompt change of nickname
- Money will help pay for new uniforms
- New nickname will be Hawkeyes
Oneida Indian Nation Representative Ray Halbritter plans to give a $10,000 check to Cooperstown (N.Y.) Central School at a board meeting Wednesday evening and to praise the students who pushed to oust the district's longtime name of Redskins.
The check is to defray the cost for new uniforms when the name Hawkeyes becomes effective on July 1.
"They're making this decision right in the shadow of the Baseball Hall of Fame," Halbritter told USA TODAY Sports on Tuesday. "They're showing much more thoughtful and respectful initiatives than many of these wealthy major-league team owners. … These wonderful kids have done such an inclusive, respectful and thoughtful thing."
Halbritter mentioned the cartoonish image of Chief Wahoo that is the symbol of the Cleveland Indians: "High school students are showing more wisdom than these wealthy major league owners."
Hawkeyes is an elegant solution for the upstate village that was the hometown of James Fenimore Cooper, as it is a nickname of Natty Bumppo, hero of Cooper's Leatherstocking Tales series.
Halbritter, who is also CEO of Oneida Nation Enterprises, said if other high schools want to make a similar change they might also be offered assistance. He said the Washington professional football team that uses the R-word is a billion-dollar franchise "and they don't need our money."
He urged the Washington football team to follow the Cooperstown students' lead: "Here's the national team in the national capital and we want the world to believe that we have a better way of doing things. Democracy and equality for all means something to us and symbols mean things. And I just think that the national team should be representing more than a racist stereotype."
Halbritter said it is important to remember for whom the city of Washington is named.
"We were allies in the Revolutionary War and George Washington was a friend of ours," Halbritter said. "This country recognizes us specifically in treaties because of our contributions in the Revolutionary War.
"I find it very personally offensive that a man we respect, the father of our country, is recognized with a racist stereotype. I think it is disgraceful. But I suppose when you are wealthy and you are rich, you don't have to care too much what other people think."

You could make a case that John Scofield gets bored easily. "Maybe a little bit," he says with a laugh. Even a cursory glance at his output from the last decade reveals he has tackled everything from straight-ahead modern jazz (ScoLoHoFo's OH! and Enroute) to an old-school R&B Ray Charles tribute, and even New Orleans gospel (Piety Street). Yet within each new musical outfit, Scofield's edgy, Vox-powered tone comes through loud and clear.
On his latest album, Überjam Deux, Scofield reunites with the same outfit that was on his 2002 album, Überjam. It shares the same forward-thinking approach his previous employers, Miles Davis and Billy Cobham, explored in the heyday of jazz-fusion.
While Scofield does sneak in hints of his well-developed bebop language here and there, you always can count on a healthy dose of the blues. "Although I don't consider myself a 'blues' player," says Scofield, "I love blues guitar and have been trying to get into it my whole life—B.B. King and Albert King, who's a freak of all time."
In all the Überjam projects, Avi Bortnick handles the rhythm guitar duties, as well as executing all the samples live and in real-time. "That's the way Überjam has always done it," says Scofield. "We do it all at once and Avi has a system where he can trigger the samples with a foot controller."
That edge between where everything works out and anything could go wrong is where the most adventurous of jazz musicians live, and Scofield has taken up residence there for the better part of four decades. Even among his contemporaries—Stern, Frisell, and Metheny—Scofield's approach is singular, and he could even be considered the most open-minded of that group. We caught up with Scofield between tours to talk about the motivation behind reuniting Überjam, his new pedalboard, and what attracts him to guitars that just feel old.
It's pretty hard to sit still while listening to the new album. Some of the tracks have a very danceable quality.
Yeah, I agree, it uses elements of that stuff. But when I think of dance music, it's Britney Spears and that kind of thing. This is different. It's not music that's made specifically for dancing. But, yeah, it has that "four on the floor" stuff that's disco, really. It has become dance music.
When did you first start to experiment with electronics in your music?
When I started doing this band with Avi Bortnick' over 10 years ago' I'd made a record called Bump, which had a lot of things with two guitars where I overdubbed stuff. So I was looking for a rhythm guitar player and I found Avi. We started playing together and he told me about all this stuff going on out there with electronics and how he was interested in that. He brought in some loops that we started to play along with. It was probably around 2001. I was interested in it, but I didn't even own a computer at that time. I just didn't know how to do it.
It's been a decade since the first Überjam album. What inspired you to revisit this group? Did you have a stockpile of material?
No, I didn't really have tunes lying around. I was just thinking of what I wanted to do next. I always loved playing with those guys and I thought enough time had gone by that we could do something different from what we'd done before. I felt the urge to do something with electronics and thought why not play with those guys? We're a great band and we have something else in us that could come out.

Fished Hythe Tuesday (8th) for two and a half hours (time was limited) - 2 hours before high tide and 30 mins after. Had 25 plus smallish Whiting (7 to 9 inches typically), a small dogfish and a smallish Thornie (about 2lbs). Used squid and makeral in a 2 hook paternoster. Weather was grey and reasonably still and mild enough to wear only a fleece and not to need a a jacket.
As a side note, I fished Walmer a week earlier and sat in sunshine in a T shirt with the sun blazing and the water like a mirror. Caught 2 tiny Dabs (I think) and w Lesser Weaver Fish.
I now just hope the fishing stays productive and fish size increases...........enjoy!

Spain holidays offer something special for everyone. Its amazing cultural sights necessitate repeat visits: so go to majestic Madrid and have your fill of the Prado gallery, then get to Frank Gehry's Guggenheim for modern art in brilliant Bilbao. It's easy to pack your Barcelona visit with Gaudi's eccentric mosaics, while in vibrant Seville the Alcazar drips with Moorish influence.
Book your flights to Spain and go snorkelling in the south coast's warm Mediterranean waters, or discover the Canary Island of Tenerife, with its sun-drenched beaches and striking volcanic landscapes. Explore the Alhambra Palace of Granada and soak up its mountainous backdrop. Make your way to the ultimate party island of Ibiza or uncover the White Isle's more serene side.
Soar across to Alicante and wander through its old quarter, stroll along the glistening waterfront and savour the views from the Santa Barbara Castle. Visit vibrant Valencia, a city bursting with futuristic architecture like the Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias. Take a stroll to kickback on the beach, make a splash and afterwards, choose a restaurant to tuck into a pan of paella.

As a professional photographer I ran into cylindrical panoramas in 1996 and since that time I'm dedicated to panoramic photography. At that time I looked on the map to find a place that is called "Nodal Point"... I did all the mistakes, I know them well.
I still learn a lot and hope to give something back to the Panotools community. However I'd like to point out that the panotools.info server and it's management are not equal to the Panotools community. This wiki is the work of the community. Feel invited to join the Panotools-List Yahoo! group to discuss the friendly and democratic future of the Panotools community.
Besides commercial photography I also have some experience in print solutions, sometimes database driven, graphics and Mac administration.
Since the start of the PanoTools NG Yahoo group I am co-owner and one of the moderators of that list.
The nickname Zarl was given to me by a crazy austrian fashion photographer a long time ago when I worked as an assistant. My real name is Carl von Einem. I still shoot with film.... am I also crazy?

Sheryl Sorby Wins ASEE Award for Women in Engineering Education
By Jennifer Donovan | Published
The American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) has honored Sheryl Sorby with
its 2011 Sharon Keillor Award for Women in Engineering Education. Sorby is a professor
of mechanical engineering at Michigan Technological University. The national award
recognizes women who are making outstanding contributions to engineering education.
"Sheryl has made significant contributions to engineering education through her research on three-dimensional visualization skills," said Michigan Tech College of Engineering Dean Tim Schulz. "I am pleased to see her receive this well-deserved recognition for her outstanding contributions to engineering education."
Mechanical Engineering-Engineering Mechanics Chair Bill Predebon also praised Sorby,
calling her "an educational innovator, which she has demonstrated through her research
and throughout her career at Michigan Tech."
Said Sorby: "I'm very gratified to receive this award and appreciate the efforts of Michigan Tech colleagues, especially Chris Anderson, who helped with the nomination packet. Things have changed for women in engineering since I started down this path--they aren't perfect, but it has gotten better. My two daughters are studying engineering. Hopefully the environment for them is better than it was for me."
Sorby is the director of Tech's Engineering Education Innovation Research Group. She is known for preparing engineering students and middle school students to think like engineers. Her research interests include advanced composite materials for use in civil infrastructure and 3-D computer graphics for visualization of complex behaviors.
She is the principal investigator on a National Science Foundation-funded project to develop a curriculum in service systems engineering at Michigan Tech. This new engineering specialty focuses on people and human behavior, on processes rather than products and on customer interaction with service systems of many kinds--from health care and social services to transportation, hospitality and food services, utilities, financial and insurance services, waste management and security.
Michigan Technological University is a public research university, home to more than 7,000 students from 54 countries. Founded in 1885, the University offers more than 120 undergraduate and graduate degree programs in science and technology, engineering, forestry, business and economics, health professions, humanities, mathematics, and social sciences. Our campus in Michigan's Upper Peninsula overlooks the Keweenaw Waterway and is just a few miles from Lake Superior.
