Newsletter for August 21st, 2011"What's New With You?!"
1. Newsletter Editorial - A New Editor?
Good day fellow DonationCoder members (or Docodians as I like to say), I hope this epistle finds you well. Mouser has tasked me with preparing the newsletter this month, so here I am sitting at my desk on a Saturday night, composing this circular so you can enjoy the very latest, and most informative subject-matter from the DonationCoder forum.
If this is the first of our newsletters that you've received, let me explain a bit how we create the newsletter. Each month we go through our forum and try to select noteworthy topics and discussions and compile them into newsletter form. If you have any suggestions for ways the newsletter might be improved in the future, please let me know.
2. User-to-User: Your Input Requested
We welcome everyone to participate on the forum, regardless of your level of computer knowledge or how long you've been a DC member. If you're still waiting to make your first post, see the links below for some good places to get started.
* What special character do you use to have a file sorted at the top?
* Are we allowed to avoid the "My Docs" mess in Win7?
* Win 7, XP mode, & other first install queries?
* Flashcard Creator w/ caveat?
3. Hardware Hangout
DonationCoder is not just about software! Quite often our members like to discuss their new computers, or ask for help. This month we had quite a few hardware related threads, including several by DC member Nudone, the well known curmudgeon and creator of the DC Mascot (Cody the Bird).

At the very end of each year DonationCoder runs an event called NANY (New Apps for the New Year), where we invite the programmers who hang out on our site to release a brand new (free) application to the world. Long time NANY organizer Perry Mowbray will be on vacation for most of NANY this year, but DC member Kyrathaba has been extremely generous in volunteering to shepherd this year's NANY through to completion. Three cheers for Kyrathaba!
In an attempt to encourage larger applications we've started banging the NANY drum a little earlier this year, and we're encouraging people to start pledging application ideas or start requesting help for beta testing or coming up with ideas. NANY is open to coders of all backgrounds, so please help us spread the word to anyone you know who needs some encouragement to release something new.
* NANY 2012 Pledge: Dungeon AI
* NANY 2012 Pledge and Early Beta: Found Money
* NANY 2012 Pledge: You Have Files

I reduced them to 16ch for 7.1 . The wav file have the channel configuration that is mentioned in the file name (L_R_C_LFE_LS_RS_LB_RB). For EQ-APO you have to make seperate wav files for every speaker. So you have to put the channels 1 and 2 into a seperate wav file (left speaker) , 2,3 into a seperate wav file (right speaker) 3,4 into a seperate wav file (center speaker).... The procedure would be the same for the DH files. For using more than stereo you need a sound device that allows you to choose 5.1 or 7.1 in the windows settings! Otherwise Windows will downmix to stereo before EQ-APO can do the convolution!

VIDEO: SC Senator thinks university is "recruiting lesbians" with LGBT symposium, program
Read More
"It's just not normal and then you glorify, or it seems to me, that the promotion at USC Upstate is a glorification of same-sex orientation. That's not an explanation of 'I was born this way.' That's recruiting," said South Carolina state Senator Mike Fair (R), commenting on a segment of University of South Carolina Upstate's upcoming LGBT symposium. The one-woman show, satirically titled "How to Become a Lesbian in 10 days or Less," has been cancelled.

Beat the Streak Report: Monday, June 21
Things are starting to seriously heat up here in Streakland. And I'm
talking about that disgusting
wow-I-didn't-even-realize-I-could-even-sweat-there type of heat.
As things currently stand, we have two streakers —
"dick.george" and "fromomma" — pacing our leaderboard with season-high
37-game streaks (sorry, Cruj) and they don't look to be slowing down
any time soon.
Except that maybe they do.
Dousing our leaders like a bucket of ice water is a brutal
Monday schedule which consists of only three Interleague
games. That means that only six teams have made themselves available
for the Monday hit buffet.
And just to rub habanero peppers all over an already spicy situation,
four of these six teams are the Nationals, D-Backs, Royals and A's.
Thankfully, the Yankees are on the slate to face Rodrigo Lopez and the D-backs.
But if Rodrigo decides to bust out the cumin, put some hot sauce
on his fastball and get kinda spicy himself, we might be referring to
June 21, 2010 forever as the Beat the Streak Massacre of '10. Just warning ya.
Time for Monday's picks
Oh, hello there …
? Derek Jeter: .448 AVG (26-for-58) lifetime vs. Diamondbacks starter Rodrigo Lopez
? David DeJesus: .450 AVG (18-for-40) last 10 games; 2-for-4 lifetime vs. Nationals starter Livan Hernandez
? Kevin Kouzmanoff: .442 (31-for-74) AVG for June; has never faced Reds starter Mike Leake
? Jason Kendall: .353 AVG (12-for-34) lifetime vs. Nationals starter Livan Hernandez
Feeling kinda spicy?
? Wilson Betemit:
.417 AVG (5-for-12) lifetime vs. Nationals starter Livan Hernandez. All
Wilson Betemit rules fly out the window once Livan Hernandez is
involved — even this season.
You'll thank me later ...
? Jorge Posada: .115 AVG (3-for-26) since '04 vs. Diamondbacks starter Rodrigo Lopez
? Mark Teixeira: .176 AVG (3-for-17) lifetime vs. Diamondbacks starter Rodrigo Lopez
? Billy Butler: .222 AVG (2-for-9) lifetime vs. Nationals starter Livan Hernandez
Leaderboard time!
Not far behind our two leaders is "kbarr9" with a 34-game streak,
"aydinalp1" and "lfinnberg" with 31-gamers and "death2fowl" at 30.
I told you it's getting hot!
Top MLB streakers
? Josh Hamilton: 16 games
? Jose Guillen: 15 games
? Jason Kubel: 12 games
? Jeff Mathis: 12 games
? Garrett Jones: 11 games

Very impressive abk!!! Good luck to all. Going with dee jesus (obscure Big Lebowski reference.) 🙂
I'm hoping I can keep my Survivor streak going with the Yankees tonight. I have DeJesus in BTS and A Rod in HR BTS. Remember what Encarnacion did in Arizona? 5 HRs in 3 days. I hope A Rod does similar to that. It's a homer park when it's hot in Arizona and now it's summer so temp will be high and roof will be open.
I have my highest streak on survivor…10! i dont feel confident with any of the teams that are playing today. I am leaning towards the Yankees the most, but AJ Burnett is so unreliable.
I'm not worried about taking Cano against Lopez. If I lose today I'm losing with the best hitter in baseball. Plus Lopez is 8-8 with a 5.90 ERA lifetime vs. the Yanks. I highly doubt he dazzles tonight.
"temp will be high and roof will be open."
Really? Then what is the point of having a domed stadium if it is not going to be used in high temperature games?
It certainly does not rain enough there to justify it.
I hope DJ turns out to be a big trap. Its a trifacta of negatives (away, night, righty) and hope that this is the start of Cano's slump. I think tonight is not a bad night to hit on one of the 4 backup catchers if you have a big streak. Because as the blogger said, if there is enough spice in Rodrigo's hanabero sauce, virtually the whole contest will start anew tomorrow.
For me, going with Nyjer or Cristian. I got nothing to lose and no more relying on the name brands.
@firstname.lastname@example.com: I think you're fine with the Yanks. I don't think AJ will have back-to-back blowouts. That is the only thing holding back the Yanks from winning. That is if he has another blowout inning and Giraldi don't take him out while Rodrigo brings on the hottest taco sauce for the night.
AJ really is the most unreliable starter on the Yanks. I know some will argue Vaz is but AJ blows out so many games with big innings. His w-l record don't mean a thing when you pitch for yanks. Even i can get 10 wins pitching for them.
"I'm not worried about taking Cano against Lopez. If I lose today I'm losing with the best hitter in baseball. Plus Lopez is 8-8 with a 5.90 ERA lifetime vs. the Yanks. I highly doubt he dazzles tonight."
My worry is that Cano gets pitched around though.
It is amazing how badly the offense sucks on the road for everyone else.
The only exceptions are Cano and A-Rod, but we do not know if A-Rod will even play the whole game and if his hip flexor is affecting his performance.
"I hope DJ turns out to be a big trap. Its a trifacta of negatives (away, night, righty) and hope that this is the start of Cano's slump. I think tonight is not a bad night to hit on one of the 4 backup catchers if you have a big streak."
Careful with that analysis though, because even though he has all three of his bad splits, they are still all near or above .300.
I agree about using a backup catcher.
Had I not had my streak snapped by Byrd on Friday and been at 12, instead of 2, that would be a serious consideration, but sitting on 2-game hitting streak does not seem very prudent.
But it might be a good day to practice picking which backup catcher will not play!
What would be your ranking of those four catchers from least likely to most likely to play?
Dj's spits:
Away: .237
Night: .254
Double splits: away-right (.224)
But you know, you get the hunch he will come through in a hitter friendly park with Rodrigo up there. Only thing you can hope for is Rodrigo brings his A game. I mean the guy is due for one good start.
I would imagine Corky Miller is not catching. When I looked @ his #s yesterday, he catches once in a blue moon and yesterday he caught. They never pinch back-up catcher usually for an obvious reason. And this guys hits awful.
"My worry is that Cano gets pitched around though."
I know what you mean but its very hard to pitch around any Yankee hitters because A-Roid hits before him with Posada hitting behind him. If you look @ Cano's #s when A-Roid was out, he was geting only a per day. It maybe a coincidence but Cano would be hitting no where he is now if he is playing for Seattle.
I do think the both M&M boys of MIN are being pitched around effectively now. Much easier w/ all the injury to pitch around them.
Oh, I thought you meant David DeJesus, by DJ. Sorry.
"with Posada hitting behind him."
I could not believe how bad Posada is on the road at night:
.214 on the road, .200 at night
Corky Miller
Landon Powell
Will Nieves
Chad Moeller
All of them caught yesterday. If you look @ their stats, they're not gonna catch for a long time nor will they pinch hit with w/ their hitting prowess. But BTS always finds ways to screw you. Watch someone getting ejected or injured to have one of these clowns come in. So caveat emptor.
I can't be resetted @0 so I will think about those guys for the future.
i say go with brett gardner…..he might bat 9th, which means he sees the least amount of at bats, but with jeter batting after him, theyre gonna pitch to him and these last few games he's been ripping the ball
"I could not believe how bad Posada is on the road at night:
.214 on the road, .200 at night"
He is awful. He seriously needs a vision or check or something. I actually found day/night extreme splits to be the most helpful stats. Then the home/away splits.
Someone mentioned Ethier not hitting a couple of days ago. If you look @ his day #s, he is awful. This is even including his triple crown making days before the injury. I almost picked him that day too until I saw that stats.
wow, Powell's average isn't even that bad, and is probably pretty competitive with the rest of the A's lineup?
why does he play so rarely?
The other Suzuki is their reg. catcher. Maybe Suzuki is better defensively. He did play regularly when Suzuki was on DL last month.
I think mgr don't like use the backup catcher to pinch hit because if injured, replacing one isn't easy. Especially, in the same game.
Made it thru the weekend alive…Thanks Young/Youkilis/Sweeney; now I'm only 31 games away from the leader 😦
I ain?t going with Jeter tonight?I don?t care if he carries a 400+ avg vs Lopez. He?s just not hitting well right now. I?m going with Phillips vs A?s. Risky move, but I just don?t like this Yankees Diamondbacks game.
Yeah so going out on a limb today with Kurt Suzuki. Ugh only 3 games is going to be a killer!
Bad weekend for me �took the wrong Rangers. Today I'm Going with Cristian Guzman. Cmon Lopez, throw a gem. � Here's hoping the Bronx Bombers win 1-0 on a Frank Cervelli pinchhit HR. Down with the masses. ��
Just talk to Cano. He is having a bubblgum emergency. He said he can't get it to blow @ just right consistency. He thinks it might be related to oil spill in the Gulf. He is trying to text MelkMan if he is having the same problem.

Alright, back on track. Guz homers in bottom of 6th to take me to one.
WTG blanco.
Lav, your no selection numbers didnt come up. Or was there 0 no selection in top2500.?
Oops, didn't fill in my template:
Highest "No Selection": Page 6 with streak of 16
Sad day, two very picked on pitchers just got sent down to triple A. CLE David Huff and WASH John Lannan.
For the nearly 80% of Top2500 whose streaks are riding the NYY-AZ game, at least you can see your player, pitch by pitch, on ESPN starting in about 10 mins.
Holy sh!t. AJ gives up 5 runs in the bottom of the 1rst. I only have a 2 gm survivor streak, so no biggie for me. But the other 72% of ppl that have them better hope that the road offense can wake up.
WOW. Cano & Jeter can potentially obliterate this game tonight. Not to mention fanning the flames of that whole "get profiled in the blog lose your streak" curse. 🙂 Hope they both hit – if so those players will be ahead of my usual zero.
Man. You think this is bad, nobody will be getting those free tickets to all star game this year. LOL!
7-1 DBacks! Jeter and Cano 0 for! 6/21/10 a massacre come true! Thankfully my survivor streak was just 1 and my BTS was only at 2.
Looks like Jeter will bet 2 more ABs. Maybe 2 more for Cano too.
i told you gardner was the way to go! 3-3 so far!
For those who picked Cano…..you lucky SOBs…..LOL!!!!!!!!!
And a collective SIGH of relief is heard across the nation as Bobby gets a single in the top of the eigth. Survivorland isn't quite looking so happy.
Survivor Land is done. All 10 runs scored after 2 outs in the innings, amazing. You'd almost have to do a double take and not question your eyes when you see that the Diamondbacks are the ones scoring all the runs. Wow! Congrats to the only front page player to choose the NATs over NYY.
Dick.George gets lucky again! That is 2 days in a row. Even the circumstance of the game goes his way. Rodrigo kept throwing strikes and challenging Cano because he knew the game was his already. He had this one in the bag. Rodrigo is not a strike thrower. He gets you out normally by making you chase bad pitches.
I think the time is running out on his luck though. This sort of bare survival leads to perishing w/n next 2 days. He basically went with a lemming pick. Just like all others.
At least one of the leaders is down. It would have been quite devastating if DJ squirmed a hit on his last AB too.
And the curse continues for one of the leaders: fromomma, same day after granting interview from MLB, goes 0-fer with Jeter walking his last at bat. I'm betting dick.george (co-leaer), also granting an interview, is busy locating all his luck charms as his streak continued on Cano's last AB!
And if dick.george does fall to the curse this week, he has one big thing going for him: front runner for the $10K consolation prize. Enjoy your new big screen 3D TV!

dmansmi, 8, pg84, Derek Jeter: OUT
kenfucious, 8, pg87, Derek Jeter: OUT
So we see 24.52% eliminated today.
Too bad it could have been 79.56%!
I sort of felt it to be too good to be true and sort of knew Cano was going to get the hit in the last AB, since Lopez really was not pitching him that hard.
Which is confusing because the count was only 1-2.
I know you do not put people on with multi-run leads, but the count was only 1-2. He could have tried a couple chase pitches before grooving one.

Ethylene propylene rubber is one of the different types of rubber used as a packing material in shaft seals to prevent the pumped media from leaking.
The type of rubber used as packing material depends on the media and pressure in the system. Ethylene propylene has excellent water resistance and retains this property up to temperatures as high as approximately 120-140°C. Ethylene propylene has good resistance to acids, strong alkalis and highly polar fluids, such as methanol and acetone. However, it has very poor resistance to mineral oil and fuel.

The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) has historically (as the SCS) played an important role in the conservation of the nation's natural resources, including wetlands. The statutory requirements of the Food Security Act of 1985 and its amendments, have placed a greater emphasis on the conservation of wetlands in agriculture and the role of NRCS in that regard.
The team is currently located in Fort Worth, Texas, co-located with the Central National Technology Support Center.
Develop, adapt, and disseminate wetland science and technology needed to support the technical needs of the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS); in order to conserve, restore, and enhance wetlands.
The science of wetlands is characterized by the dynamic emergence and modification of precepts and techniques. Prompt incorporation of new wetland technology to agency programs is critical in order to maintain program credibility, as well as increase field utility.
Our Functions: The National Wetland Team provides a cadre of technical experts to anticipate and fulfill the diverse needs of NRCS field personnel, program managers, and decision makers. The National Wetland Team serves NRCS and others in the development, interpretation, and application of wetland science by performing the functions listed below:

English names
Please read this link in regards to your revert of my changes in the Daniel II article: OrthodoxWiki:Style Manual#English names. The policy basically says that because this is an English-speaking wiki, we put names in English where possible. Likewise, we use New Calendar dates in most cases because in the English-speaking countries I'm aware of, only schismatic groups of Old Calendarists use the Julian calendar. Finally, if you're concerned about a Serbian not understanding the saint's name in English, how could he possibly understand the rest of the article, written in English? Sorry if I seem harsh; no offense intended. I know it takes a long time to figure out how everything on the wiki works. Heck, I still don't understand a lot of it. Gabriela 20:39, March 11, 2007 (PDT)
- As an expansion on this, the policy is not simply to use English versions of names, but rather whatever is most common in English-language sources. In many cases, this will not include a standard English version of a name, e.g., "Nikolai of Zica," etc.
- Also, for comments on the calendar question, see User_talk:Gabriela#Julian_calendar_among_Anglophones. —Fr. Andrew talk contribs 09:45, March 20, 2007 (PDT)
- I think the problem here is that the English-speaking literature isn't the same across the board, because some of it has been written for people such as yourself who speak English non-natively and are thus more able to recognize a saint's name in their mother tongue. I understand Sava, because Sabbas isn't a common English name anyway, but common names like Paul or Daniel seem unlikely to be said as Pavle or Danilo by an Anglophone. Certain cases are debatable, but changing names like Varnava to Barnabas, for example, are specifically mandated in the style guide. Gabriela 11:30, March 20, 2007 (PDT)

All sales are final. There are no cancellations, returns or refunds. Under certain circumstances, we may make an exception and allow a cancellation, return or approve a refund. However, in the case of a return the Buyer's Premium and Shipping Cost will not be refunded.
Damaged Goods:
If a purchase arrives and it is defective or damaged you will not be charged for return shipping and will be offered a replacement item or full refund if the oversight was ours. Prior to returning an item the customer must obtain a Return Authorization number from our Customer Service Department.
Occasionally you may notice that an item is re-listed. This can be due to a variety of reasons such as a winning bidder in a previous auction not paying for the item, multiple types of the same item or it is one of the few items listed with a reserve and the reserve was not met.
Disclaimer Appraisals
GovernmentAuction utilizes Retail Replacement Value Appraisals, which are the most common. These types of evaluations are written for insurance needs. This would be the cost to replace the jewelry, with an item of equal quality and kind, considered to be the current market price or the replacement value. This type of appraisal is done to protect you in the event of damage or loss of a valuable item. Our appraisals are conducted by and independent 3rd Party appraisal firm that utilizes Certified GIA Gemologist, if more information is needed you are welcome to contact them directly: Gemological Laboratory of America- email@example.com. Appraisals should be used for verification of gemstone and/or metal weight, size, and grade only, not actual value. Appraisal value should be considered for insurance purposes only, not actual value, as price varies greatly from retail locations throughout the world. Items should not be purchased with the expectation to resell for appraisal price or for profit.
Right to refuse bid
Auctioneer reserves the right to reject any bid. The highest bidder as determined by the auctioneer shall be the purchaser. In the case of a disputed bid, the auctioneer shall have sole discretion in determining the purchaser and may also, at his or her election, withdraw the lot or reoffer the lot for sale. The auctioneer shall have sole discretion to refuse any bid, or refuse to acknowledge any bidder.
The Auctioneer's decision to refuse any bid, advance the bidding in any manner, withdraw a Lot, determine a successful bidder, continue the bidding, to cancel a sale and reoffer and resell an item in dispute, is conclusive, absolute and final.
Some of the lots in this sale are offered subject to a reserve. The reserve is a confidential minimum price, below which the lot will not be sold agreed upon by the consignor and Government Auction. In most cases, the reserve will be set below the estimated range, but in no case will it exceed the estimates listed.
Breach of Sale

text: Joyful Noise: Film Review 3:01 PM PST 1/5/2012 by Todd McCarthy FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Joyful Noise Film Still - H 2012 Lively music can't hide the corn in this predictable musical. TWITTER Dolly Parton and Queen Latifah square off on-screen, and in the church choir, in this musical comedy that plays out a bit like "Sister Act 3." The kids manage to upstage the old pros in Joyful Noise, a sort-of Sister Act 3 about an smalltown church gospel choir that gets a musical makeover. Staggeringly cornball and squeaky-clean even when flirting with such issues as interracial sexual rivalries and, of all things, a post-coital death, writer-director Todd Graff's third feature follows very much in line with the "let's-put-on-a-show" format of his first two efforts, Camp and Bandslam, and overlaps in sensibility with Glee, fans of which could provide a portion of this film's audience. But with Queen Latifah and Dolly Parton leading the cast, the most eager and satisfied public for Warner Bros.' first release of 2012 will be found among Southern and Heartland women of a certain age. The most startling thing that happens in all of Joyful Noise occurs when the character played by one of its co-stars, Kris Kristofferson, abruptly dies after the opening scene (he later returns for a fantasy duet with Parton). Suddenly deprived of its choral director, the Divinity Church Choir in depressed Pacashau, Georgia, is taken over by gospel traditionalist Vi Rose Hill (Latifah), which doesn't go down too well with the dead man's widow, rich gal G.G. Sparrow (Parton), who's more pop and country oriented. From here on, the plot spins out like a 1930s Judy Garland-Mickey Rooney musical, only with a multi-hued cast. The fly in the ointment here is the arrival of G.G.'s grandson Randy (Jeremy Jordan), a good-looking bad boy who instantly takes a shine to Vi Rose's ready-to-blossom 16-year-old daughter Olivia (Keke Palmer), the choir's singing star who's ready to blossom as a young woman, but not if her hyper-vigilant mom has anything to say about it. PHOTOS: Dolly Parton, Queen Latifah and the Best Music to Movie Crossovers Currying favor with the skeptical Vi Rose, ever-clever Randy takes under wing her other child, Walter (Dexter Darden), who has Asperger's, hides behind shades, might be gay and, epitomizing the script's complete inability to be subtle when stating the obvious is an option, announces, "I just wish I could be normal." Functionally, Randy is like a twin brother to the central character in Footloose in the way he shakes up a backwater community and injects life into its cultural/musical scene. Along with the Walter character, Graff's script introduces a couple of other interesting against-the-grain elements, notably the resentment of black teen Manny (Paul Woolfolk) feels when white boy Randy beats him out for Olivia's affections and presenting the church's black pastor (Courtney B. Vance), as well as Vi Rose (whose absent husband is in the military), as being more conservative-minded than the local whites. Then there's the little subplot about an overweight gospel singer with a thing for Asian men who, upon breaking a four-year sexual fast, promptly sends her partner to his maker. At least he died happy. Still, everyone on view is so fundamentally decent and goody-goody that no real tension or unresolvable conflicts ever surface. The over-arcing storyline delineates the choir's struggle to transform itself from a perennial also-ran to potential champion in the national competition, which it predictably does in a rousing climax in which the now funked-up Pacashau unit, belting out Sly Stone's I Want to Take You Higher, vies with a youth group fronted by a phenomenal singer who, in a rendition of Billy Preston's That's the Way God Planned It, comes across as an uncanny vocal blend of Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder. With their eye-catching looks and abundant musical talents, Jordan (notable for his stage work in Newsies, Rock of Ages, West Side Story and Bonnie and Clyde) and Palmer (Akeelah and the Bee, Ragz on TV, two albums) make the strongest impressions. As a woman who's alternately argumentative and defiant, Latifah has one big scene in which entertainingly tells off her unappreciative daughter, while Parton, who contributed two new songs to a lively soundtrack largely dominated by covers of well-known tunes, has facially begun to resemble a carefully crafted older facsimile of Angelina Jolie. Dialogue and visual aspects are all right on the nose, bereft of shading or nuance. FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Todd McCarthy email@example.com @thr

GSTAR IV: Return of the GeoJSON
Following on from my Days of Archaeology in 2013, 2014 and 2015 (and for the last time), the bulk of my Day of Archaeology this year focussed on my doctoral research, writing up my thesis on Geosemantic Technologies for Archaeological Research (GSTAR). It's been a busy three years but the project is nearing completion and will hopefully inform heritage management and research strategy over the coming years.
The aim of the project was to show how geosemantic technologies can be used to provide a framework for working with heritage data in a range of research contexts. To this end, I have built a demonstrator application which is based around a map (obvs!) for the Stonehenge landscape and which draws data from Historic Environment Records, museums and project archives, allowing users to ask questions across these diverse resources taking advantage of the semantic goodness of Linked Geospatial Data, thesauri and ontologies. Geosemantic 'glue' was used to integrate horizontally between resources (such as monuments and artefacts found within or nearby) and vertically (ie between excavation records and monument/event HER records and museum collection records).
The ontologies used were the CIDOC CRM, CRM-EH and GeoSPARQL which allow the concepts used by the various sources to be aligned whilst the terminology provided by the thesauri (published using SKOS) allow for the various terms used to document these concepts to be related. In other words, the semantic tools allow for the different sources to be made interoperable and queryable with the results displayed and interacted with on a map.
Moving forward, the approach taken and successfully demonstrated could be scaled up to act as the basis for the next generation of heritage information portals; think of the Heritage Gateway but with some additional bells and whistles:
- the ability to undertake proper geospatial queries and analysis, even where there is no GIS data
- spatial queries mediated using geospatial semantics, to get away from purely Cartesian views of space dependent on geometry and the problems that entails for historic information
- complex querying across all of the participating providers, with differences in terminology ironed out
The demonstrator application is built using a range of standard web and geospatial technologies. Currently, the accessioning process for data is largely manual, built using the STELLAR Toolkit to process outputs from MODES and HBSMR, two major software packages used in museums and HERs respectively. A next step would be to automate this, which would be fairly straightforward from a technological if not a political perspective. If an automated pipeline could be implemented across all the HBSMR and MODES using institutions and organisations, this would cover an enormous amount of heritage information and, combined with a map based portal and live feeds to desktop GIS, would greatly improve the way in which we undertake all kinds of research activities, both in academic and commercial contexts.
Information from site archives was a little tricksier, as one might expect; such data does not typically get archived in a readily useable fashion unlike information found within the structured systems used for managing Historic Environment Record data or museums collections. However, with ongoing work relating to the digital capture and sharing of fieldwork information through OASIS, HERALD and the broader Heritage Information Access Strategy (HIAS), we are undoubtedly moving towards a time when this becomes not just possible but the norm. When this happens (and note I say when not if!), we can start to extend Linked Data principles more fully to our information resources, so monument records can be directly built up from linked fieldwork records, museum collection artefact records can be layered on top of linked excavation finds records and, on top of all this, our Research Agendas and Frameworks can be truly data driven, dynamic resources drawing directly on this web of Linked Data, informing and informed by ongoing research and our shared knowledge of the past, across all of our information resources.
The use of such geosemantic 'glue' allows for a much more intelligent approach to finding and working with geospatial information from heterogenous sources split across numerous providers. Take the following query for example:
Show me all the Bronze Age mounds where dolerite has been found during excavations and carved chalk balls were discovered nearby.
Using the HeritageData Periods thesaurus, it is possible to mediate different uses of language across sources to describe time-spans relating to the Bronze Age, using broader, narrower and/or related terms. We can use the FISH Event Types Thesaurus to find event records relating to interventions (including excavations) and draw on the project archives for these to check for finds of dolerite, potentially using geological ontologies such as GEON to mediate identifications of rock types. Using the FISH Object Types Thesaurus, it is possible to do the same for chalk balls or any other artefact type. Geospatial information may well not exist for these objects as recorded in museums collections, most likely not in the form of British National Grid coordinates at least, particularly where they were discovered in antiquity. But we do often have some basic spatial information such as an associated location (eg Stonehenge), parish (eg Amesbury) or named place (eg Stonehenge Road); in such cases we can use the Ordnance Survey Linked Data plus some of the spatial relationships defined by the Simple Features specification (used by the GeoSPARQL ontology) to perform a spatial query using these index terms via a bit of geosemantic magic. Moving forward, we can align our research questions with such resources and queries so, for example, if the dating of carved chalk balls (typically thought of as of Neolithic origin) were to change, we can use the same approach to identify contexts where such changes would have a knock on effect or where our broader understanding of deposits, sites and complexes may also need to be updated or where new research questions arise. So this may be the end of the GSTAR project, but it's only just the beginning for the use of such approaches within the heritage sector.

Creamy Chicken and Spinach Lasagna
Lasagna's lengthy preparation – boiling noodles, simmering a sauce and putting it all together – usually takes it out of the quick cooking realm. So, I set out to develop a recipe that doesn't require much preparation time, and that was a decided change of pace from the traditional lasagna combination of noodles, cheeses and meat sauce.
Don't let the long list of ingredients keep you from trying this recipe. There's absolutely no cooking involved before assembling the lasagna, and you'll only dirty up two bowls and your lasagna pan when you prepare the dish.
This lasagna can be fully assembled up to 24 hours before baking. Simply let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before baking. Add some rolls and a salad to complete the meal. For dessert, pick up a carton of peppermint ice cream and top it with hot fudge sauce.
Spinach Layer
Chicken Layer
Top with 4 more noodles. Spread with 1/2 cup of diced tomatoes, the remaining spinach, the remaining chicken and 1/2 cup of the cheese. Top with 4 more noodles. Spread with the remaining diced tomatoes and juices. (Refrigerate the remaining cheese.) Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 50 minutes. Remove from oven, remove foil and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Return to oven for 5 minutes more, until cheese is melted.
Makes 8-12 servings.

Identity theft cost $52.6 billion last year, up from $51.4 billion in 2003, according to the survey by Javelin Strategy & Research and the Better Business Bureau (BBB). The survey also found that the number of new identity theft victims fell 8% from 10.1 million in 2003 to 9.3 million last year. Victims made up 4.25% of U.S. adults, with 2.38% facing fraud on existing credit card accounts; 1.15% on existing non-credit card accounts and 0.83% on new accounts and other frauds.
Fraud, however, on existing credit card accounts is the least costly form of ID theft, with a mean fraud loss of $5,803 per victim. New accounts fraud generated a mean loss of $12,646 per victim, and existing non-card accounts fraud caused $9,912 in losses per victim.
Hispanics and African Americans are twice as likely as Asians or Whites to experience new account fraud, while higher income households are more likely to fall victim to existing credit card accounts fraud. The average out of pocket cost-per-victim was $650.
Phishing, the much-publicized online fraud committed by crooks posing as a legitimate business, caused a loss of $2,320 per victim. In contrast, the mean loss for ID theft committed by a friend, relative or neighbor was $15,607, the report found. Theft of paper mail generated a mean loss of $9,243.
Pleasanton, CA-based Javelin conducted the study last fall, polling 4,000 adults and interviewing 507 fraud victims, giving the study a 95% confidence level.

Next August could see another Star Wars movie in theaters. Only it would be an animated film, to launch the gritty new Clone Wars animated TV series that George Lucas is working on. During a conference call with investors, an executive from the Hasbro toy company said the Clone Wars film would be in theaters on 08/08/08. But don't start lining up yet.
Fans contacted Lucasfilm to ask them about this rumor. Lucasfilm executives managed to respond before the Hasbro investor call was even over. They didn't deny that a theatrical release for Clone Wars was a possibility, but said no decisions had been made yet. But given that no TV network has yet picked up the PG-13 rated animated Star Wars, a high-profile movie launch could make sense.

Embedded Linux Class by Mark A. Yoder
There are many choices that have to be made when designing a college course. The open source world gives you even more choices. The following takes you down the path I have chosen for my 32-bit embedded Linux course (ECE497 - 32-bit Embedded Linux, Rose-Hulman). As we travel I'll point out what decisions needed to be made, what the options were and why I made my choice. Once you see where I've taken you, it should be easier for you to pick a path for your class.
What Hardware
There are many hardware platforms out there that support embedded Linux, how do you pick one? In my case, Texas Instruments (TI) approached me and asked if I was interested in developing materials using the BeagleBoard. I looked it over and said yes. It's not a bad choice since over 120,000 have been sold and it has a very active community.
There are many flavors of the Beagle. (Original, xM, Bone White, Bone Black). I'm using the BeagleBone Black since it is only $45 and is very capable.
What Software
Bare Metal, or Linux
The original Beagle and the xM has both an ARM and a DSP, you could choose to focus on either. If you main interest is DSP and you want to approach the Beagle as traditional DSP hardware I suggest you contact Mike Marrow. He has pioneered the 'bare metal' approach to using an OMAP processor.
I decided to focus on Linux running on the ARM since the Bones don't have a DSP.
Which Linux
Linux has many embedded distributions. There seem to be three that are most active on the Beagle at this time.
I use Angstrom. That's what comes on the on board flash. I have Android installed on one of my SD cards and have played with it some. Although Android is based on Linux, I found Angstrom to be a more familiar environment. You mileage may vary.
You can also try the Super-Jumbo image from AlwaysInnovating. It has four OSes on one image, though it only runs on the xM. I'm not sure how easy it is to teach with.
Which OS for the Host Computer
The BeagleBoard is powerful enough that real development (editing, compiling, etc.) can be done on it without need of another computer. However, one can do much more using a host computer for development. It is generally agreed that if your target computer is Linux, the host computer should be too.
So which distro should you use? I'm running Ubuntu 10.4 LTS, 32-bit. It is required for some of the DSP development tools supplied by TI. The LTS means Long Term Support, which means it's supported for 3 years from its release data (April 2010). This also means you won't be having to upgrade every time you teach the class.
Native or Virtual Install
Windows is the standard OS on my campus, so the first year I ran the course I ran the host OS in a virtual machine. It worked fine, though there may have been a slight loss of performance. I started with the free VMware Player, but later switched to the free Virtual Box on the recommendation of my students.
This year I'm running Ubuntu native on a desktop and a laptop. One of the things I gain is the desktop is always on so I can login to remotely and do things such as start a long download. I share the keyboard and mouse with my Windows machine by using Synergy. Synergy allows cutting and pasting between machines which helps when producing handouts.
Installing on the SD Card
Now that you've decided to run Angstrom on the Beagle, you have to choose how to get it on your SD card. There are four broad choices:
- Partition and format your SD card, then download the root filesystem, kernel, etc. and copy.
- Download a disk image and copy it to the SD card.
- Use an online system to build the install you want.
- Download all the sources and build everything from scratch.
I've tried all four options, but I've settled on option 2. It's the most likely to succeed and has the students up and running the first day.
The last option is the 'true' open source way to do things, but it's too big of a step for my students. On the first day I want them to have their Beagle up and running with all the demos that run on it. I want them to see what it can do. On the second day we'll start digging into the details of how it works. This will eventually involve building many things from scratch.
bitbake is one of the tools developed by the Open Embedded (OE) group. With a single
bitbake one can download all the sources, compile them and create all the files needed to copy to the SD card to run Linux with all its demos. The first year I taught the course I made the mistake of having my students build the whole system from source. It took over 24 hours to run, and then failed to build completely. This is the way of open source. What worked today may not work tomorrow, but it may the day after. Students need to learn the skill of what to do when things fail. However this was too big of a build to have them learn on.
My instructions for doing the first three are here: ECE497_Lab01_Installing_Angstrom_on_Your_Beagle_(precompiled) Building from scratch instructions are here: ECE497_Installing_The_Angstrom_Distribution
What Topics Should be Covered?
Here is a list of topics that I've covered. The list includes labs and exercises for nearly every topic.
Course Projects
A major part of the course grade is based on a major project. Here are some of the projects that have been done, or that I'm proposing: ECE497 Project Ideas
Final Comments
Here are some questions to start an FAQ.
- I'm new to the BeagleBoard and I'm looking for materials I can read and labs I can execute to teach myself embedded Linux. How do I get started?
- Placeholder
- I'm an instructor who would like to teach embedded Linux using a BeagleBoard. What materials are available to give me a starting point for building my course?
- Placeholder
- I just stumbled upon this category of pages. What is ECE497?
- Placeholder
- Also, while there is significant open-source support, do we need Development Tools from TI to program/compile/debug the software on the board? If so, how can we obtain a license for this software?
- Presently there are free ARM compilers; however if you use the DSP you need to get the 'C6x compiler from TI. It's free, but you have to agree to their license.

The gas laws developed by Boyle, Charles, and Gay-Lussac are based upon empirical observations and describe the behavior of a gas in macroscopic terms, that is, in terms of properties that a person can directly observe and experience. An alternative approach to understanding the behavior of a gas is to begin with the atomic theory, which states that all substances are composed of a large number of very small particles (molecules or atoms). In principle, the observable properties of gas (pressure, volume, temperature) are the consequence of the actions of the molecules making up the gas.
The Kinetic Molecular Theory of Gases begins with five postulates that describe the behavior of molecules in a gas. These postulates are based upon some simple, basic scientific notions, but they also involve some simplying assumptions. In reading a postulate, do two things. First, try to understand and appreciate the basic physical idea embodied in the postulate; this idea will ultimately be important in understanding the macroscopic properties of the gas in terms of the behavior the microscopic molecules making up the gas. Second, identify possible weakness or flaws in the postulates. Inaccurate predictions by a theory derive from flawed postulates used in the derivation of the theory.
To illustrate the significance of these postulates, consider the box containing a single molecule shown below. Start the animation and observe the molecule, represented by the blue ball, bouncing and traveling back and forth across the box. The collisions with the walls are perfectly elastic. Energy is neither gained nor lost from the collision. Because the walls do not move, the molecule's speed is unaffected by the collision. The graph plots the particle speed as a function of time. Observe that the speed has a constant value.
Now consider the box below in which several molecules exist. Start the animation and observe the blue molecule. Unlike the system above, this system has multiple molecules and thus collisions between molecules occur. Observe how the speed (and direction) of the molecule changes as a result of a collision. Thus the speed of a given molecule is not constant. From one collision to the next the molecule speeds up, slows down, speeds up, etc.
The graph shows how the speed changes with time. Observe that the speed is a constant in between collisions. At the moment of each collision there is an abrupt change in speed (and in direction).
Averaged over a long period of time, the average kinetic energy of a given molecule is 3kT/2. Similarly, the average kinetic energy of a large number of molecules at a particular instant in time is 3kT/2.
