Posner Dismisses Apple/Motorola Case, With Prejudice
Posted by News Fetcher on June 22 '12 at 10:30 PM
By Soulskill from Slashdot's get-out-and-stay-out department:
whisper_jeff writes "Judge Posner has dismissed the patent case between Apple and Motorola, with prejudice (meaning they can't refile), putting an end to this patent dispute between the two companies. Posner wrote, 'Both parties have deep pockets. And neither has acknowledged that damages for the infringement of its patents could not be estimated with tolerable certainty.' I know many on Slashdot will be happy to hear Apple's lawsuit failed; I am happier to hear that Motorola has been prevented from abusing FRAND patents, a situation I feel could set a very bad, very dangerous precedent for the entire industry."

Microsoft Phasing Out Office Starter Edition
By Soulskill from Slashdot's decreasing-bloatware department:
nk497 writes "Microsoft has started phasing out its Office 2010 Starter edition, ahead of the arrival of Windows 8. Office Starter was included in the OEM pre-installation kit (OPK) of software sent to manufacturers, and included ad-supported versions of Word and Excel, but not Outlook or PowerPoint. That will be replaced with an Office 2010 Transition OPK, which will instead push users to download a trial of the Office suite and offer a link to buy the full version. The free Office Web Apps will also be available for users not wanting the full version."
Erasing Details Of Bad Memories
By Soulskill from Slashdot's will-it-work-on-the-star-wars-christmas-special department:
An anonymous reader writes "People can be trained to forget specific details associated with bad memories, according to breakthrough findings that may lead the way for the development of new depression and post-traumatic stress disorder therapies. New study (abstract), published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory and Cognition, reveals that individuals can be taught to forget personal feelings associated with an emotional memory without erasing the memory of the actual event."
Bryson Crash Reveals Threat of Headless Government
By Soulskill from Slashdot's not-that-they-use-their-heads-much-anyway department:
Hugh Pickens writes "According to Business Week, the traffic accident that left U.S. Commerce Secretary John Bryson unconscious and alone in his bashed-up Lexus on June 9 raises questions about why the 10th official in line to succeed the president was left so vulnerable. It also highlights potential gaps in security for senior U.S. government officials, who receive varying levels of protection. 'They lost track of him,' says James Carafano, a terrorism scholar at the Heritage Foundation. 'Post 9/11, that's a bit of a head scratcher.' Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who are high in the line of succession and have national-security responsibilities, are provided protection 24 hours a day, seven days a week, but other federal officials, even in cabinet-level positions or other top posts, often travel without the security details that even a big-city mayor or state governor would be provided. Threats to cabinet-level officials aren't overblown, says Norman Ornstein, a congressional scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, who has urged that the government revamp its succession plans and says a nuclear bomb hidden in a suitcase detonated in Washington could leave a headless government. 'The lack of interest in continuity may stem from the same reasons some smart people refuse to create wills, even though failure to do so leaves behind horrific messes for their loved ones,' writes Ornstein. 'Yet the threat is real. Our leaders' failure to establish plans to ensure that our Constitution survives is irresponsible.'"
ICANN Names New CEO, Will Pay Him $800,000 To Run the Internet
By Soulskill from Slashdot's i-just-be-he-cann department:
darthcamaro writes "ICANN has officially hired a new CEO to replace the Rob Beckstom. ICANN industry unknown Fadi Chehade is taking the top job — but there is a catch. He can't start for another 90 days, even though ICANN has been looking for a new CEO for months. Even better is Chehade's salary. ICANN will pay him $800,000 a year. Is the CEO of ICANN one of the highest paying jobs in the Internet governance landscape?"
India Unblocks File-Sharing Sites
By Soulskill from Slashdot's block-first-ask-questions-later department:
An anonymous reader writes with an update to news from last month that many popular file-sharing sites, including the Pirate Bay, had been blocked in India. Now, India's Madras High Court has amended its earlier decision. "The court order wasn't targeted at a specific site or ISP and gave the copyright holder carte blanche to demand broad blockades. The ISPs were seen as the bad guys by subscribers and 'Anonymous' groups, but had no other option than to comply." Instead of forcing ISPs to block an entire site in order to prevent the sharing of a single file, now only particular URLs must be blocked. "The new order was issued following an appeal filed by a consortium of ISPs."
How Madefire Is Changing the Visual Grammar of Comics
By Soulskill from Slashdot's artist-discretion-is-advised department:
waderoush writes "When you read a comic book or graphic novel on your tablet device, you're usually looking at a static reproduction of a print page, not a 'born digital' creation with serious interactivity. Madefire, a new startup in Emeryville, CA, is working to change that with the release today of its new iPad reader and comic-book authoring tool. Featuring seven original titles at launch — including one from Watchmen creator Dave Gibbons — the Madefire platform largely abandons traditional panel layouts in favor of 'sequences' in which the action progresses through the addition of image layers, as well as sound effects and music. 'We want to make people look at the fabric of storytelling—left to right, top to bottom—and break that fabric,' says Madefire founder Ben Wolstenholme. The company is also avoiding well-known superhero titles in favor of new characters and storylines. 'This century needs its new creations and its new myths and legacies,' says chief creative officer Liam Sharp, a veteran of X-Men, Spider-Man, Spawn, and other well-known traditional series."
AMD Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition: Taking Back the Crown
By Soulskill from Slashdot's their-turn-at-leapfrog department:
An anonymous reader writes "The benchmarks are in for the Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition. Starting at $500, AMD's new single-GPU flagship boosts the original 7970's clock speed from 925 MHz to 1 GHz (1050 MHz with Boost). The GHz Edition also sports 3 GB of faster 1500 MHz GDDR5 memory, pushing 288 GB/s as opposed to 264 GB/s. While the AMD reference board runs hot and loud, retail boards will use different cooling solutions. A simple test of aftermarket GPU coolers shows that any other option will shave degrees and slash decibels. But it's the Catalyst 12.7 beta driver that really steals the show for AMD, pushing FPS scores into overdrive. With the new Catalyst, Nvidia's GeForce GTX 670 can no longer beat the original Radeon HD 7970, and the GHz Edition outmaneuvers the GeForce GTX 680 in most cases. However, when factoring price and possible overclocking into the equation, the original Radeon HD 7970 and GeForce GTX 670 remain the high-end graphics cards to beat."
Older Means Wiser To Computer Security
By Soulskill from Slashdot's get-off-my-lawn department:
An anonymous reader writes "Growing up in the digital age, 18 – 25s may appear to be a more tech-savvy generation, but that does not translate into safer computing and online practices. A new study reveals that they are the most at-risk group, and prone to cyber-attacks. That makes this group even more vulnerable to online security threats. Younger users tend to prioritize entertainment and community over security, perhaps due to overconfidence in their security knowledge. For example, they're more concerned about gaming or other social activities than their online security. They also have less sophisticated security software, and hence, have reported more security problems than other groups."
MIT Research Amplifies Invisible Detail In Video
Posted by News Fetcher on June 22 '12 at 11:45 AM
By Soulskill from Slashdot's now-many-times-more-invisible-than-before department:
An anonymous reader writes "MIT researchers have invented an algorithm which is able to amplify motion in video that is invisible to the naked eye — such as the motion of blood pulsing through a person's face, or the breathing of an infant. The algorithm — which was invented almost by accident — could find applications in safety, medicine, surveillance, and other areas. 'The system is somewhat akin to the equalizer in a stereo sound system, which boosts some frequencies and cuts others, except that the pertinent frequency is the frequency of color changes in a sequence of video frames, not the frequency of an audio signal. The prototype of the software allows the user to specify the frequency range of interest and the degree of amplification. The software works in real time and displays both the original video and the altered version of the video, with changes magnified.'"
Google Touts Worker Tracking As Own CEO Goes MIA
By Soulskill from Slashdot's coming-soon-to-a-boss-near-you department:
theodp writes "On Thursday, Google announced a product that enables a business to see where all its workers are at all times. Called Maps Coordinate, it combines a paid-for business version of Google's standard maps product with an application downloaded to a worker's smartphone, creating a real-time record of worker locations. Ironically, Google touted its worker tracking solution on the very same day that CEO Larry Page was a surprise no-show at Google's Annual Shareholder Meeting, leaving Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt to explain his absence. Schmidt explained that Page had lost his voice and, as a result, would likely also miss next week's I/O conference and possibly next month's quarterly earnings call. While a Google spokeswoman declined to comment further on Page's condition, Schmidt added that Page will continue as CEO while he recovers. So, why not reassure those worried about the situation by publicly tracking Page's location via Maps Coordinate? After all, Google's a true believer in eating its own dog food, right?"
The Death of an HTML5 Game Breeds an Open Source Project
By Soulskill from Slashdot's game-devs-take-heed department:
colinneagle writes "German social gaming company Wooga has thrown in the towel on its HTML5 project after seeing little return on the increasing amount of effort put into its Magic Land Island game. Some early success convinced Wooga to devote additional resources to the game, which was launched in October of last year. However, 'As the project continued to progress, so did the industry. Whilst the benefits of an open platform future are clear for games developers, it became clear halfway through Magic Land Island's development cycle that the technology wasn't yet ready for mainstream exposure.' The announcement sheds some interesting light on HTML5, as Wooga hardly holds back on any of the details behind the game's failure. The biggest barriers to HTML5's entry to the mainstream include internet connectivity and limitations on sound. The consensus? The time for HTML5 will come; it's just not quite there yet. In the meantime, Wooga has made the game open source so other HTML5 developers can learn from it."
Will Dolby's New Atmos 62.2 Format Redefine Surround Sound?
By timothy from Slashdot's wait-'til-they-remaster-top-gun department:
CIStud writes "Anyone who goes to see Pixar's new animated Brave film might come home with their ears ringing. Why? because Brave is the debut of Dolby Lab's new 62.2 surround sound format called Atmos, which adds new developments such as pan-through array and overhead speakers. With 62 speakers and 2 subwoofers, only a handful of theaters nationwide will be able to show the film at its full throttle. Dolby has produced a new highly informative video that talks about how movie sound has progressed from mono to stereo to LCR (left/center/right) to 5.1 and 7.1 surround sound and now Atmos. The big question is will the 62.2 format system be adapted for home theaters intent on emulating the immersive movie experience?" I've seen some busy input/output panels on home stereo equipment, but 62 channels is too many for my interconnect budget. Still, overhead sound seems like a good idea for some kinds of movie.
XBMC Developers Criticize AMD's Linux Driver
By timothy from Slashdot's pss-there's-a-conspiracy department:
An anonymous reader writes "It's not only the NVIDIA Linux driver that has been publicly slammed over lacking support; the AMD Catalyst driver is now facing scrutiny from developers of the XBMC media and entertainment software. The developers aren't happy with AMD due to not properly supporting video acceleration under Linux. The AMD Linux driver is even lacking support for MPEG2 video acceleration and newer levels of H.264. AMD reportedly has the support coded, but they're refusing to turn it on in their public Linux driver."
'Nuclear Free' Maryland City Grants Waiver For HP
By timothy from Slashdot's pollyanna-buys-a-gun department:
dcblogs writes "The City of Takoma Park, Md. this week granted a waiver to its public library to allow it to use some new HP hardware, whose products are otherwise banned under its 'nuclear free zone' ordinance. That law, adopted in 1983 one month after the Cold War-era movie 'The Day After' was aired, prohibits the city from buying equipment from any company connected to U.S. nuclear weapons production. The library bought new Linux-based, x86 systems from a Canadian vendor and didn't realize the vendor was using HP hardware. The hardware arrived in April and was unused until the Takoma Park city council granted it a waiver this week. The city's list of banned contractors was developed in 2004 by a now inactive group, Nuclear Free America, and hasn't been updated since."
Faulty Patch Freezes Millions of UK Bank Accounts
By timothy from Slashdot's cuba-will-send-doctors department:
frisket writes with news from The Register about ongoing problems for some UK banks: "'RBS and Natwest have failed to register inbound payments for up to three days, customers have reported, leaving people unable to pay for bills, travel and even food. The banks — both owned by RBS Group — have confirmed that technical glitches have left bank accounts displaying the wrong balances and certain services unavailable. There is no fix date available.' Customers of NatWest subsidiary Ulster Bank in Ireland have also been left without banking services. RTE reports that 'the problem had arisen within the systems of parent bank RBOS when an incorrect patch was applied.'"
Kepler-36's 'Odd Couple' Defy Planet Formation Theories
By timothy from Slashdot's science-iterates-happily-along department:
astroengine writes "The two planets circling Kepler-36, a sun-like star in its senior years, are as different as Earth and Neptune. But unlike the hundreds of millions of miles that separate our solar system's rocky worlds from its gas giants, Kepler-36's brood come as close as 1.2 million miles (1.9 million kilometers, or 0.01 AU) from one another — about five times the distance between Earth and the moon. This is yet another weird exoplanetary star system that defies conventional wisdom when it comes to planetary formation theories. 'The weirder they are, the more scientifically interesting they are,' Steve Howell, deputy project scientist with NASA's Kepler space telescope, told Discovery News."
A Universal Turing Machine In 100 Punchcards
By timothy from Slashdot's animation-to-blow-your-mind department:
New submitter theclockworkcomputer writes "Tomorrow 100 years ago, Alan Turing was born. To celebrate, I wrote a Universal Turing Machine in 100 Punchcards. I've uploaded a video to explain a small part of the read head (the Jacquard). One needle is shown out of a total of 28. As this is about a program for a Turing Machine and not about a Turing Machine itself, I hope to be excused from the requirement of infinite tape."
Microsoft's Surface Caught Windows OEMs By Surprise
By timothy from Slashdot's oh-by-the-way department:
MojoKid writes "Microsoft's Surface isn't just an attempt to take on the iPad or an articulation of MS's independent design philosophy — it's a fundamental threat against the OEMs who've spent decades as Microsoft's partners and collectively destroyed the industry's perception of the PC as a high-value product. The adversarial roots run deep. Microsoft didn't tell its partners about Surface until three days before the event and gave only the most minimal details on the product. Only the largest vendors even got a phone call; Asus and Acer, the 4th and 5th largest PC manufacturers worldwide, have stated that they had no idea anything was coming. For OEMs who have spent decades working in lock-step with Redmond, that's deeply unsettling."
Iran Claims New Cyber Attack On Its Nuclear Plants, Blames US and Allies
By timothy from Slashdot's probably-not-from-hezbollah department:
judgecorp writes "Iran has reported that its nuclear facilities are under a sustained cyber attack which it blames on the U.S., UK and Israel. America and Israel created Stuxnet, and have been accused of starting the Flame worm." And once a country admits that it's created such software, publicly deflecting such blame gets a lot harder.

Are the Monster DNA Pro the headphones for you?
Monster makes some of the best headphones around, but it's never opted for the most subtle designs. The Monster DNA Pro are in keeping with the company's brash approach, but have a sleeker feel than some previous models.
At £250, they're somewhere around the upper middle of the consumer on-ear field. They're not short of competition, taking on the likes of the Bose Quiet Comfort 3, Parrot Zik, and B&W P7. But can they mix it with the best of them? Let's find out.
The Monster DNA Pro certainly feel like a premium pair of cans. As we said, subtlety isn't exactly Monster's hallmark, and these cans are pretty chunky. But the earcups now have a triangular casing that makes them look a lot more sleek. The design might divide opinion, but we're fans. They certainly look a lot more fashionable than the Beats Executive, or Beats Pro.
They're very well built, and will withstand a few knocks. They also fold up, so will fit easily in a bag without getting caught on anything. Even the carry case they come with feels suitably luxurious.
While the cheaper Monster DNA on-ear headphones come in a range of colours (some pretty lurid), the DNA Pro come in the more subdued matte black, or tuxedo white (which is the pair we tested).
The Monster DNA Pro have plenty of cushioning. The earcups are clad in 'pillow-soft noise isolating cushions' – basically a synthetic material that's very soft to the touch. They did make our ears a bit hot after prolonged listening though. It's a bugbear of most cans, we find. It's not too bad at this time of year, but it's something to be aware of come summer.
The headband does press down a bit as well, even if you extend it, and this can get uncomfortable after a while.
With hard plastic on the outside, this pair is very durable, so you don't have to worry about dropping them. The headband has enough give in it to fit the biggest of heads, while still feeling sturdy enough to last a good few years.
The cable is also non-tangle, which is a real plus.
Sound quality is excellent, as you'd expect for this price.
The mid-range has plenty of kick, treble is clear, and the bass packs some oompf, though not as much as we'd expect, given how chunky they are.
The Monster DNA Pro don't have Bluetooth – you'll have to shell out around £100 extra for the Monster DNA Pro Wireless for that, when they launch at the end of the year – but they do have a couple of cool features.
They're noise isolating, which isn't as effective as noise canceling tech, but the upside is they don't need batteries. They do a decent job of blocking out background noise. You'll know when you walk past someone drilling into the pavement, but they're fine for everyday city noise.
You can also share your music with another headphone wearer. The Monster DNA Pro have two ports, so you can daisy chain another pair of headphones off them. You won't use it every day, but it's nice to have.
The Monster DNA Pro double as a handsfree kit too, as a second cable with controls comes bundled in the box.
The Monster DNA Pro are a well-made pair of cans with very good sound quality. We're fans of the angular design too. The B&W P3 and Sennheiser HD558 might pack a little more bang for your buck, but the Monster DNA Pro are a sturdy pair that are well worth considering.


The project will be titled 'A sequence of operations'. It refers to the term 'algorithm' and gives a quite literal description of my approach towards screen printing: To apply the principles of the digital algorithm into the analogue screen printing technique.
To keep an order within such an amount of unique prints a coding system is needed. This means that every print will be provided with a code name.
S, followed by a number, represents the sequence. There have been a total of 5 repetitions of the algorithm.
C, M and Y represent the colours of ink: Cyan, Magenta and Yellow.
The number directly after the capital letter represents the position the paper has been placed. There have been a total of 4 positions, rotated 90 degrees and numbered clockwise.

The Underdogs Top 15 Poll: My Preseason Ballot
The Power 5 didn't want us in their club. Well now they can't be in ours. Tomorrow we will be posting the first ever Underdogs Poll, which ranks the top 15 Group of 5 and independent teams in the country. (Except Notre Dame because screw those guys.) In the interest of transparency, I present my ballot for your disapproval.
By Matt Monte Aug 25, 2014, 3:00pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: The Underdogs Top 15 Poll: My Preseason Ballot
College football is less a sport and more a culture. Tradition is everything to our little society, and none more important than our most grand tradition -- ranking shit. That's why I was honored when I was asked to vote in the inaugural Underdogs Poll, ranking the 15 best Group of 5 and Independent teams in the country. (I think this makes UCF ineligible for next week's poll)
I pledge to you, dear reader, that I will take this poll every bit as serious as your football coach takes the poll they participate in. They will be well thought out, and submitted by deadline whether I watched the game or not, because you deserve punctuality above all. Lastly, I promise I will not leave this noble task to be completed by my personal sports information director, because the best I can afford is a part-time sports information coordinator.
So, I present to you my first ballot. This will be one of many that make up the full Underdog Poll, but let's be honest, I will probably have the best looking poll.
1) Cincinnati
There are only two challenges on Cincy's schedule, Miami (FL) and a Miller-less Ohio State. I think the Miami game is winnable, and Tommy Tubberville has previously faced two Urban Meyer teams ranked in the top five. Tubbs beat both.
2) Boise State
The Broncos are coming off their worst season in nearly a decade, and replaced the man who built their program with a second year head coach. If Bryan Harsin can navigate them through back-to-back games against UConn and UL, Boise could be back.
3) Central Florida
After their first two games, BYU is the only thing in this team's way. UCF has the resume to make a run, but for some reason I find it hard to trust George O'Leary to take care of things.
4) UL Lafayette
As long as Broadway stays healthy, there is enough talent here to win double digit games. I expect the September 20th showdown with Boise State to decide whether the Cajuns reach their goals this year.
5) Brigham Young
BYU is notoriously sketchy early in the season. Something tells me the Horns will want payback, and I don't believe Bronco Mendenhall can cleanly navigate a schedule full of landmines like UCF and Boise State.
6) Fresno State
Fresno State returns most of their defense, and will always produce on offense. After their first game with USC, this team may make a run for a Fiesta Bowl slot, with only Boise State and Utah in their way.
7) Northern Illinois
This team is an interesting one. Jordan Lynch is a huge loss, but the Huskies return enough to handle the majority of their schedule, including SEC challenger Arkansas. I honestly don't know what to make of NIU, so I'm putting them in the middle of my ballot hoping I will find out who the Huskies are early.
8) Bowling Green
The Falcons are replacing a coach and more than half of their starters on offense and defense. Good thing they have a favorable schedule. The won't beat Wisconsin in week four, but this team should be in form by their showdowns with Toledo and Ball State to close the season.
9) Houston
The Cougs break in a new stadium and little else as they return a ton of experience on both sides of the ball. I'm expecting them to improve on last year's 8-5 campaign, and make a run at the American conference title.
10) Navy
I don't know if it's because my grandfather was a Seabee, or that once a year they wear the best headgear since Ray Bans, but there is a special place in my heart for Navy. The Midshipmen have a challenge in store this year with two Big Ten teams and Notre Dame on the schedule.
11) Utah State
Half of their starters are gone. Filling all those holes will be the second year Aggie head coach and alum Matt Wells' first real test. I'm thinking it will be hard to improve over last year.
12) East Carolina
I'm expecting big things this year from QB Shane Cardon as he tries to lead East Carolina to another double digit win mark. That may be a tall order, though. I would be shocked if they won a single game in September.
13) Marshall
The best team they play is Rice. It would really be a shame for this team to represent the Group of 5 in a major bowl just because the teams above it scheduled quality opponents.
14) Toledo
I see four losses on Toledo's schedule, and that may be generous. But I expect Kareem Hunt to fill in nicely for two-time All-MAC running back David Fluellen, especially with a mostly intact offensive line.
15) Ball State
The Cardinals are facing huge losses on both sides of the ball, but I expect that defense to slow down plenty of MACtion this year.


This was my first time at a Newports gig. What I enjoyed about their music is the life and vibe they give it, loving every note they play. Each member in their own right has a special part in this band. A few have ties all the way back to high school. I will highlight a couple of the members that I know later in this post.
You can find them playing in the Michiana / Illinois region; Acorn Theater (Three Oaks, MI), Elements (Valparaiso, IN), Bottoms Up Bar & Grill (Lansing, IL), and here at the Grapes & Grain (my old stomping grounds in Homewood, IL). Check out their events page by clicking "here".
"Sonny Lee" Tritt (photo below), is one of the most respected musicians among all the bands in the region. I first met Sonny Lee when he was doing some pickup sax for The Robots. His vibe is also true to his soul. You just want to travel with him on his musical journey.
Mark is fun to watch. He keeps the audience engaged. Once and a while there are moments like this, when Mark deeply feels life and takes it for what it is, explaining it to us in his play.
This next photo was taken of St. Joseph's Catholic church as I walked back to the car.
Such a strong cast and beautiful performance. I thought it strange before the photo shoot that the Director (Jeff Casey) did not give any final instructions to the cast. This was because the casting was perfect, the practice and performance beyond reproach.
Fun Home? As a child I believe home is always fun. At least it was for me. This home, however, has its uniqueness. Is it a museum? Is it a home? Is it a mortuary? In all, it is a fun home with this family's problems.
Do not forget about the "airplane" at the beginning of the musical, because you will be cheerfully connected if you spot the ques near the end.
For me this musical rated up there to "Ordinary Days" that I photographed several years ago as my first "on-stage" photo shoot. It was so extraordinary, like "Fun Home" is in it's own way. Jeff Casey has done one of his bests, in my book, directing this. It does help to have such a strong cast, as found in the casting.
Go see these artists perform. Let Alison take you through her life as she writes her memoir, her map of her life. Let small Alison help you see into her life as she interacts with her dad and siblings. Let medium Alison find her happiness which she expresses so very well.
The other cast members need equal recognition. Without them this musical at the Towle Theater would not be as special as it is. Each played their part to support the show and to make it real for us. There individual characters are played to their extent to help share concerns or motivations one might have in this scenario. Thank you!

When a person is born, there's a naturally occurring hole between the two upper chambers of the heart. In about 25 percent of the population, that hole stays open to some degree. The condition is known as patent foramen ovale (PFO) and is the most likely cause of stroke in patients under age 55. Most patients have no symptoms and never know they have the condition until something serious occurs.
If there is a clot or other material caught in that blood, it can lead to serious consequences and possibly travel to the brain, where it causes a stroke.
"We have the technology to close these PFOs without the need for major surgery," Lasala says. Physicians are also participating in trials to determine the best treatments for the condition, such as a new minimally invasive surgery. In the procedure, a catheter is inserted through the inner right leg and directed to the heart where a small device is placed to seal the hole. The procedure only takes around 20 minutes.


Assistant Minister for Education and Training Simon Birmingham with Huawei Australia chairman John Lord.
Huawei has unveiled a $30 million training centre in Chatswood, Sydney for use by staff, customers and university students.
Due to open in August, the National Training and Development Centre will train people every year on the vendor's latest technologies. This includes Huawei staff and customers who are currently sent overseas to the vendor's training centres in Asia Pacific.
According to the federal assistant minister for education and training, Senator Simon Birmingham, the number of people being trained at the centre is expected to increase to between 5000 and 6000 a year within two years.
"Having just returned from an international education trade mission to China that included a visit to Huawei's flagship executive briefing centre in Beijing, this new training facility is a strong example of how we are strengthening the Australia-China skills relationship," he said.
In addition, 50 university students and 50 vocational education (VET) ICT students will be trained at the centre following the signing of a letter of commitment by Huawei.
This includes Australian students who are taking placements as part of the vendor's Seeds for the Future initiative which offers work experience to international students.
The centre's labs will be used to test new applications and undertake research and development.
Huawei Australia chairman John Lord said the new centre will leverage off the vendor's global knowledge base which includes 16 R&D centres.
"Huawei employs approximately 76,000 R&D experts, or about 45% of our total workforce. Last year, we invested $US 6.6 Billion in R&D," he said.
In March, the vendor announced a partnership with the Australian Technology Network of Universities (ATN).
Under the three-year partnership, undergraduate students attending ATN universites can apply to participate in Seeds of the Future.
The ATN and Huawei select 10 students each year from the network, which includes Curtin University, the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), the Queensland University of Technology (QUT), the University of South Australia (USA) and the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT). Each university will have two spots in the program.
Australian students in the program will join a global network of undergraduates and visit Huawei's headquarters in Shenzhen and R&D centres and learn about Chinese culture.


Have you been to Waco School House Haunt? Then share photos of your experience!
Disappointing compared to last year.
The scares were definitely not as good as last year and there was so much time we walked through without getting scared and without anything happening. The only thing I really liked was the scenery, because it was really well decorated and I could tell time was put into it.
Can't wait to see what they do this year!
long line to get in but worth the wait.

Q: How to select one NSCell in an NSTableView? I have a small NSTableView with a checkbox. Whenever the checkbox is not checked, I want one of the adjacent NSCells to be grayed out and inaccessible.
However, I can't figure out how to address only one specific cell. -dataCellForRow of NSTableColumn always changes the template cell for the whole table column.
How can I access one single cell?
Edit: I fill the table view using the NSTableViewDataSource protocol.

A: You don't "access a cell". NSTableView asks for data only when necessary, you don't populate it or control it directly.
Instead, you create a controller object which implements the NSTableViewDatasource and optionally NSTableViewDelegate protocols. The table view then sends the datasource messages to your controller and your controller supplies the appropriate data.
You can allow editing for an object displayed in the table view by implementing the ‑tableView:setObjectValue:forTableColumn:row: datasource method. This method will be called on your controller object when the user clicks the checkbox. It is your controller's responsibility to update the model appropriately.
When the model is updated, your controller should tell the table view to reload. The table view will then ask your controller for the value of any cell that requires display using the ‑tableView:objectValueForTableColumn:row: datasource method. This will include the cell that you need to disable. Your controller needs to supply the appropriate value for the cell.
If you need more control of the cell, you can implement the
‑tableView:willDisplayCell:forTableColumn:row: delegate method. This is called just before a cell is displayed, and you can modify the cell appropriately.
More info about using data sources is in the docs.
The other option (instead of using a datasource) is to use Cocoa Bindings and an NSArrayController that you bind to your collection of model objects. In that case, you can bind the Enabled binding of the table column to some property of your model object that controls the cell's enabled state. It is your responsibility to ensure that the state of that property is correct.
If you need to make the property dependent on the value of another property, you can use the dependent key mechanism outlined in the Key-Value Observing documentation.

A: Could you bind the editability of that column to the value that is being displayed in the checkbox?  i.e. if it is checked, it is editable, otherwise it isn't?
I am trying to remember the exact editor interface, and I am not next to my Mac at home, so I am not able to do a total walk through on it - hope this can point you in the right direction.

A: Since SDK Version 10.7, there's -viewAtColumn:row:makeIfNecessary: on NSTableView. The majority of information I found on the web don't take the new methods into account, so here it is for all the others looking for an answer to this question.
From Mouse Event to Cell Selection
First, add a protocol for your controller to handle cell selection from a table view, like this:
@protocol XYZCellSelectionDelegate <NSObject>
- (void)cellViewWasSelectedAtRow:(NSInteger)row column:(NSInteger)column;
@end

Then subclass NSTableView and override -mouseDown:
// In your Custom Table View subclass:
- (void)mouseDown:(NSEvent *)event
{
    NSPoint point = [self convertPoint:[event locationInWindow] fromView:nil];
    NSInteger selectedRowIndex = [self rowAtPoint:point];
    NSInteger selectedColumnIndex = [self columnAtPoint:point];

    if ([self.calendarViewDelegate respondsToSelector:@selector(cellViewWasSelectedAtRow:column:)])
    {
        [self.calendarViewDelegate cellViewWasSelectedAtRow:selectedRowIndex column:selectedColumnIndex];
    }

    [super mouseDown:event];
}

Afterwards, you can use -viewAtColumn:row:makeIfNecessary: like this in the delegate/controller object:
- (void)cellViewWasSelectedAtRow:(NSInteger)row column:(NSInteger)column
{
    NSView *selectedView = [self.tableView viewAtColumn:column row:row makeIfNecessary:YES];

    // Do something with the cell to the right
    NSInteger nextColumn = column + 1;
    NSView *cellNextToIt = [self.calendarTableView viewAtColumn:nextColumn row:row makeIfNecessary:YES];

}

Note: Nowadays, I'd pass the table view to the delegate as a parameter instead of relying on the delegate to keep a reference to the table view.


Mark Hamill might not have reprised his The Flash role in this week's episode, but the installment turned out to be quite a family affair.
Spoilers for this week's episode of The Flash, "The Elongated Knight Rises", below!
This week's episode saw Team Flash facing off against Axel Walker (Devon Graye), the adult son of Mark Hamill's James Jesse/The Trickster. In a new twist, Axel was broken out of prison by his mother, Zoey Clark/Prank (Corrine Bohrer), and the pair decided to terrorize Central City together.
When Team Flash was investigating the Trickster family, they found photos of James and Zoey taking part in their original crimes (i.e. from the 1990s The Flash TV show). Alongside that was a family photo of the couple, alongside a baby version of Axel. And as it turns out, the baby was actually Chelsea Hamill, Mark's real-life daughter.
Chelsea addressed the photo of her and her "Trickster hair" - which was apparently taken from the set of the original Flash show - on her Instagram account.
Mark Hamill then shared a photo of the cameo, alongside other photos of his "Trickster Family", on his Instagram as well. As Hamill put it, Chelsea's cameo made him a "#ProudPop!!!"
Even though Hamill's portrayal of The Trickster has been missing in action for over a year of The Flash, fans got a sort of update on James Jesse's situation. As Prank revealed, James broke out of prison a year before, and has been on the run ever since.
This provided a pretty major update for Earth-1's The Trickster, who hasn't actually been seen within the world of The Flashsince Season Two's midseason finale. In that episode, The Trickster partnered with Captain Cold and Weather Wizard before he was captured by the CCPD and put back in jail. Fans then got to see an alternate version of The Trickster in The Flash's Season Three midseason finale, when he faced off against Jay Garrick (John Wesley Shipp).
So even though it's been about two years since we've seen Earth-1's Trickster in action (partially thanks you, you know, Hamill's recent role in Star Wars: The Last Jedi), this sort of update might be a good hint towards his potential return. The Flash fans will just have to stay tuned to find out.


In the 1990's the Transportation Department made it possible for people to travel with emotional support animals when they needed to, and now somewhere around 100,000 animals are riding inside of the cabins each year. However, the airlines aren't very fond of this especially since it's not just dogs and cats getting the special treatment but sometimes monkeys, pigs, and even turkeys.
Part of the problem is that the airlines think that some people are taking advantage of the option and are alleging that their pets are emotional supports when they aren't. General pets have to be paid for and ride below the seats in their cages while emotional support animals get to sit right in their laps, so a lot of passengers try to get around this.
People have been sharing their experiences of this turning out a bit strange. A marketing executive named Richard Bogash explained one scenario he experienced.
The airlines would rather limit the animals out of cages in the cabin to trained service dogs and miniature horses that are recognized by the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Peter MacDonald est un réalisateur, producteur de cinéma, cadreur et directeur de la photographie britannique, né le  à Londres.

Biographie
Alors qu'il est réalisateur de la seconde équipe sur le film Rambo 3, Peter MacDonald se voit proposer de reprendre la réalisation du film par les producteurs qui viennent d'évincer le réalisateur d'origine Russell Mulcahy. Dans l'urgence, le planning étant surchargé, MacDonald n'a d'autre choix que d'accepter. À la suite de l'échec du film (moins de 200 M$ contre +300 M$ pour le deuxième opus), dont une bonne partie lui est attribuée, MacDonald change de genre en s'essayant à la comédie black avec Mo'Money, mais là non plus, le succès n'est pas au rendez-vous. Il réalise ensuite le film pour enfants L'Histoire sans fin 3 : Retour à Fantasia mais essuie une fois de plus un échec cuisant. MacDonald se consacre aujourd'hui à la réalisation de seconde équipe.

Dusky Southern Thai stunner breaks beauty norm
Life World Entertainment
PHUKET: Mainstream beauty standards in Thailand may be on the verge of a significant transformation – that is if the recent Miss Thailand World beauty competition is anything to go by.
By The Phuket News
Wednesday 23 July 2014, 03:59PM
Thai TV audiences and "netizens" were flabbergasted – and many of them relieved – last week when 22-year-old Nonthawan "Maeya" Thongleng of Surat Thani province was crowned Miss Thailand World 2014.
After all, the 173-centimetre-tall Southern Thai beauty – who had the darkest skin tone of all 28 finalists – may represent a minority on contemporary Thai beauty stages, but in reality is more representative of the majority of olive- and tan-skinned Thai females, who are often made to feel insecure by a pop-culture and mass-media which have religiously emphasised and promoted "healthy, white skin".
"I'm heading to the beach to get a beautiful tan now!" posted one light-skinned Phuket-based Facebooker, Charuayporn.
Maeya – who will represent Thailand at the 64th edition of the Miss World pageant in London in December this year – certainly has everything to be grateful for now; the prestige came with a handsome treasure-box of prizes, including B1 million cash; a pearl-inlaid crown from the Phuket Pearl Group valued at B1.3 million; a brand new, white Toyota Camry 2.0 G Extremo worth B1.36 million; a new town-home with land worth B1.95 million; a Muang Thai life insurance policy worth B5 million; more jewellery from the Phuket Pearl Group worth B99,000 and a hoard of other health, spa and leisure perks.
The first and second runners-up crowns (also designed and made in Phuket) went to Venus "Pat" Nanthachai and Chatrarika "Care" Sitthipom – both typical, light-skinned Thai knock-outs – looked somewhat out-of-place posing on stage for photographs next to the new winner.
Maeya, a 3rd-year Airline Business Management student at Stamford International University, attributed her win to her ability to speak confidently in English.
The contest judging panel evaluates candidates on their beauty, confidence, understanding of global, social and international matters, among others.
"I am aware of the importance of English language. As we know, AEC [Asean Economic Community] is around the corner and English language will be very important. In the past, I could hardly speak English and was afraid of conversing with foreigners. I challenged myself ... I knew this would push me to develop new skills," she said in a press statement.
"I am now far more confident and able to converse much better in English and this will be a tremendous help when I represent Thailand at the Miss World 2014 competition in London at the end of this year," she added.
"The benefits I gained from taking Stamford's International Program have helped me in every aspect of my life, and given me a strong base in English with which I need to succeed."
Maeya won Thailand's praise with her range of skills and talents which include singing, modeling, exceptional English capability and her professional outlook, which paved the way for her excellent responses to the competition's final round of questions.

FedEx Takes 343,000 SF of W/D
NORTHBOROUGH, MA-The international shipping company is renewing its 180,200-square-foot lease concurrently with the take-over of the rest of the building--162,700 square feet.
By Ryan Clark | September 25, 2009 at 12:47 PM
NORTHBOROUGH, MA-FedEx Corp. is taking up the entire One Beeman Rd. here, a warehouse/distribution facility clocking in at 342,900 square feet total. The take-over comes in the form of two concurrent leases: a brand new lease for 162,700 square feet working alongside a renewal for FedEx's current 180,200 square feet.
The exact terms and length of the leases was not disclosed, however Richards Barry Joyce & Partners–the exclusive leasing agent for the building–says it is a long-term lease and the original asking price for the building was $6.50 per square foot. FedEx will operate distribution and warehouse facilities from One Beeman for their FedEx SmartPost brand.
The 162,700-square-foot vacancy was made available when the former tenant Triumph Learning moved out. RBJ says that the space was not open for very long, although it is not known whether or not FedEx had expressed previous interest in the space or was simply taking advantage of an opportunity.
The property itself boasts easy access to the I-495 and 22- to 30-foot ceilings. John Lashar, partner, and Paul Leone, SVP, repped the owner, MM Industrial Beeman Road LLC, in the transaction. FedEx did not respond to inquiries from GlobeSt.com.


"IA BON IS A STOCKHOLM BASED COMPANY DESIGNING HIGH QUALITY UV-SWIMWEAR & BEACHWEAR. WE HAVE CAREFULLY CHOSEN FABRICS THAT ARE LUXURIOUS, COMFORTABLE & WITH HIGH UPF FOR ULTIMATE PROTECTION AGAINST THE LOVELY, BUT DANGEROUS SUN RAYS".
Josephine Sundin & Jenni Söderling are the founders of IA BON.
They had both lived abroad for several years and happened to move back to Sweden around the same time, and quickly became close friends.
The idea of making UV suits for children was born in 2012 when they were taking their first-borns on a winter trip to a sunny location. They found it almost impossible to find cute UV suits in Scandinavia during the winter season. Since more and more people travel during the cold winter months and also have more knowledge of the danger of too much sun exposure – they noticed a gap in the market.
So Josephine & Jenni started their own brand – IA BON (Based on their daughters names Olivia & Bonnie) – making UV suits and swimwear that fulfilled their requirements, and that was going to be available all year around.
The IA BON – Sunbeam collection have a clean scandinavian design. The use of cute colors and subtle details results in a soft and playful look. Our Sunbeam collection is made out of high quality, comfortable fabrics from Italy with high UPF.
In 2017 IA BON launched their first women's swim collection making bikinis, one-pieces and rash guards in a clean and sophisticated palette.
IA BON is proud to offer their customers products that are not only cute, but also has a great purpose.

A wind turbine near Pigeon, Michigan.
There's no denying that wind turbines make noise. A giant rotor blade the size of an aircraft wing swooshing through the air is going to make a noticeable sound, particularly in a quiet, rural setting.
And it's an often-repeated claim of wind farm opponents that this noise can lead to a whole host of health issues, including headaches, tinnitus, fatigue and sleep disturbances. Health fears, among other objections, have sometimes been cited by local governments as they establish large setbacks, moratoriums or other restrictions on wind farm development.
But a new study published in the journal Environmental Research Letters (PDF) suggests those claims are, at best, conflated. The analysis by four Swedish scientists reviews existing literature and finds that with the exception of some self-reported cases of sleep disturbance, there is no scientific or empirical basis to conclude that wind turbine noise causes health problems.
For example, the lack of acoustic measurements, no comparison group of people with no or low wind exposure and no investigation of the subjects prior to the wind turbines were constructed (prior health status was estimated retrospectively). In addition, the results, which are based on a very small sample, are contradicted by results from cross-sectional studies … which included a total of more than 1600 people.
The review did conclude, however, that the pulsating noise from wind turbines is more annoying to people living nearby than comparable sound levels from other sources, such as traffic. And because annoyance can lead to stress and sleep deprivation, it's possible that wind farms can be blamed for indirect health issues.
Wind turbine noise is causing noise annoyance, and possibly also sleep disturbance, which means that one cannot completely rule out effects on the cardiovascular system after prolonged exposure to wind turbine noise, despite moderate levels of exposure.
However, that can be true of any source of noise, from cars to airplanes to obnoxious neighbors, and will vary from individual to individual. Siting guidelines for wind turbines already typically have noise restrictions to minimize this impact.
Being annoyed is not the same thing as getting sick. And while this paper doesn't necessarily rule out the possibility that wind turbines could have a health impact, it's telling that after years of study, no one seems to have established a scientifically sound connection.


Ikea is rumored to be working on an augmented reality app using Apple's ARkit. Are you ready for the future of home improvement projects?
Johnny Brooke of the Crafted Workshop YouTube Channel turned to Cadet's Hot One garage heater to keep his workshop warm during the winter months.
In our hometown of Vancouver, Washington an inch or two of snow can cancel school for the day. Imagine what happens when people wake up to 14 inches.
In 2016 we started recycling film plastic, which will remove an estimated 3,000 pounds from our landfill waste each year.
Here at Cadet we put an emphasis on working with our neighbors to make our home town and community a better place. Sometimes it means working hard to make sure our business has a minimal impact on the environment. Other times it means donating time or money to good causes. Earlier today it took the form of learning more about an organization that is making a tremendous impact for a certain part of our population.


Historically we have been able to provide this site at very small incremental cost due to our operators other hosting business. Unfortunately this is no longer the case and we simply cannot continue to operate this site when we consider the actual hosting costs this site accumulates.
When we started out (with the LS1B PCM) it was very common for people to change operating systems in their controllers to gain additional capabilities. This is not the case with the newer gas ECMs. As such we seldom receive files to add to the library (we only received 4 new files throughout 2015).
The diesel calibrations are hosted elsewhere. Additionally the later model diesel controllers (2011+ GM and 2010+ Dodge Cummins) are protected and cannot be read through the vehicles OBDII diagnostic port. Because they are protected we have elected not to host these files.
Bummer. Anyone needs any of their tunes, I have some of them saved, mainly ones I used to help modify my own file.
Send em to me if you can speeder,I like to keep a database. Not sure if anyone else saves this stuff anymore now that mark is gone,he was trying to archive as much as he could before it all got lost in the inter-ether.
I'll get them to you but it won't be quick.
No worries,just drop in next time you cruise through if you want.
I'm home every day,just gotta catch me awake.
Just wondering if anyone still has a complete set of these files. Speeder if you do, and if you could shoot me a copy that would be great. My son is getting into tuning now. Who knows where it will go? thanks!
We are going to be running a couple of BBC on the newer 12586243 computer with just the 4x Vortec signal for now anyhow. One truck still has the blackbox and the other has a 0411.
Shoot me an email address. Playtoy, if you're still active I just don't get down that way much, send me yours and I'll email them. It's probably going to be the only way anymore.
Sorry it took so long. You just got 11 emails from me.
Playtoy - found your email, forwarded those tune files. One is a duplicate.
Offhand i've been posting/archiving stuff over on gearhead-efi now if anybody needs stock files.
I try to post .bin and .cal up when I do.
Resent them. Might check your spam folder. 12 emails.
