"This is a significant and exciting moment for our members and our industry," said Wi-Fi Alliance president and CEO Edgar Figueroa. "With 60 GHz efforts concentrated in one organization we have the momentum, technology, and members to deliver on the promise of WiGig technology."

This improved revenue performance, combined with solid expense management, enabled a return to non-GAAP profitability, stated Brian Bronson, Radisys' President and CEO.

Fourth quarter platform design wins spanned a number of different applications such as Femto Gateways, Load Balancers, and Edge Routing.

Increased shipments of both Software-Solutions and ATCA products enabled a nearly two percentage point sequential gross margin improvement over the third quarter of 2012.

Things to do in Cincinnati

One of the top attractions in Cincinnati in spring, summer, and fall are going to see the Cincinnati Reds play baseball. In the fall and winter, the Cincinnati Bengals football team is an even bigger draw. Both teams play home games in downtown Cincinnati and the environment for all the games is family friendly or perfect for a couple on a date. The Bengals play in Paul Brown Stadium and the Reds play in Great American Ball Park. Both facilities are only a few years old and offer fun for the entire family.
The Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Gardens are a wonderful place to visit anytime of year. In the winter, go at night and enjoy the Festival of Lights at the zoo. In the summer, stroll the lovely grounds and explore the Africa exhibit and stop by the Elephant Reserve.

Tips for Renting in Cincinnati
For those considering a move to Cincinnati, the neighborhood of Mount Adams stands out as a premier place to live for Millennials. It gets great reviews from singles and young couples due to its lively nightlife and eclectic dining scene. For those wanting something a bit quieter, Pleasant Ridge is a top option. It's a bit quieter and more family-friendly.
Renters' rights are protected in Cincinnati. When it comes to rental agreements, Ohio law forbids landlords from shifting certain responsibilities or liabilities to a tenant. Such clauses in a lease cannot be enforced against the tenant. Furthermore, since landlords almost always write the lease, courts typically rule that any unclear or convoluted terms will be decided in favor of the tenant and against the landlord.
One tip for those relocating to Cincinnati is to be aware that the city essentially shuts down on baseball's opening day! And since winter can bring snow in Cincinnati, the best time to move is spring, summer or fall if at all possible.

In moisture-prone, damp areas, a Vortex extraction fan removes steam and condensation incredibly quickly. Extremely powerful, it's perfect for wet areas like bathrooms and laundries. It's also very efficient, extracting up to 550m3 of air per hour. This results in reduced condensation on windows and mirrors, prevents mould and stops moisture spreading through the home. The optional IntelliSwitch can also be set to run the Vortex for longer after the bathroom has been vacated.
We've had our HRV system for about 4 years now and we have really noticed a difference in the house. Every morning, during winter, I would need to wipe down all of the windows which were dripping with condensation. No more dripping windows and no more damp beds. It is also great to be able to bring down the excess heat from the roof space and use it where it is needed.
Moisture-prone problem areas like your bathroom require a slightly different form of ventilation and extraction to the rest of the home.
Rather than continually replacing moisture-laden air, in the bathroom the HRV Vortex removes the air entirely direct from the source.
It's a powerful extractor fan that sits in the roof itself, and is capable of removing moisture from the entire bathroom, or other wet areas, quickly and efficiently – all while hardly making a sound.
The Vortex can also be set to run for longer with HRV's IntelliSwitch, after the bathroom has been vacated.
This reduces condensation on windows and mirrors, prevents mould and stops moisture spreading through the home.

Javier Ibáñez del Campo (n. Linares, 27 de marzo de 1884 - m. Quillota, 9 de septiembre de 1937) fue un militar y político chileno, hermano del expresidente Carlos Ibáñez del Campo.

Datos biográficos
Era hijo de Francisco Ibáñez Ibáñez y María Nieves del Campo Leiva. Estuvo casado con Ángela Ivanovic Roccatagliata.

En 1902 ingresó como cadete a la Escuela Militar del Libertador Bernardo O'Higgins, alcanzando el grado de coronel del Ejército de Chile. Perteneció, igual que su hermano, al Batallón Tren I. En diciembre de 1927 formó parte de la comitiva presidencial que visitó Valdivia, y fue autorizado por el presidente Ibáñez, para trabajar en esa ciudad, analizando las necesidades más importantes para someterlas a consideración del Gobierno.

Tras su retiro del Ejército militó en el Partido Demócrata, el cual presidió entre 1927 y 1931. Desde allí le dio respaldo a su hermano Carlos, siendo una de las colectividades que lo apoyó en la elección presidencial donde fue candidato único. También fue uno de los encargados de negociar los cupos parlamentarios para el llamado Congreso Termal de 1930.

Fue elegido diputado por la decimocuarta Circunscripción Departamental de Loncomilla, Linares y Parral, período 1930 a 1934; integró la Comisión Permanente de Gobierno Interior y la de Guerra y Marina. La República Socialista que estalló el 4 de junio de 1932, decretó, el día 6, la disolución del Congreso Termal.

Tras la caída del Gobierno de su hermano, Javier Ibáñez del Campo se dedicó a explotar los yacimientos de mármol de la isla Cambridge en la Región de Magallanes, actividad que venía realizando desde 1927.

in Nancy Drew, TV Review
Nancy Drew Season 1 Episode 1 – TV Review
We need some characterisation, now.
Firstly: Maggie Lawson in all her TV movie glory will always be my favourite Nancy Drew, so let's just make that perfectly clear.
Or Veronica Mars, if we're not going literal.
But this Nancy Drew? Ya bland, baby.
TL;DR It's pilot jitters to the extreme (I hope), as Nancy Drew is an alienating mess; despite the best efforts of its lead actress, who at least appears to be giving a shit; things seems to be heading down a supernatural route, which is not promising; I expected more from Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage.
We thought that 2019 couldn't get any worse, but I swear if Dynasty also falls off a cliff, I'll be inconsolable. Please, Josh and Stephanie. Please.
Speaking of falling off a cliff, that's how our episode begins, as some pageant queen takes the leap. This begins the incessant narration from Nancy about mostly everything, a clear crutch that I hope the show is able to overcome (narration isn't always death, as exemplified by Veronica Mars herself. But here? I'm not convinced). We go about meeting Nancy Drew and learning that her child/teen crime solving career ended up getting her in hot water, and with the recent death of her mother (Jenna from TVD), she's decided to just be an unambitious waitress while she seethes at her dad, and saves up to leave for college. Working alongside her at the diner are an ex-friend-now-enemy woman named George; a spoiled city girl out here for some reason; a stoner dishpig; and a bland boyfriend character who works at a nearby garage. These five all happen to be unlucky enough to be present when a local rich girl gets murdered one night at the diner, and Nancy must fight her safer instincts to instead go out and get back on the detective horse. Some minor drama ends up ensuing (George is having an affair with the dead woman's husband; City Girl actually is poor, and she stole the woman's ring; Stoner Guy is secretly working for the police; Bland Boyfriend is shadier than he appears), but the outlook seems to indicate that the pageant queen from the opener, who in the intervening years has become a local ghost story called Dead Lucy, is the culprit. Oh, and Nancy's parents might have something to do with Dead Lucy, as Nancy finds an ominous chest in her attic with a bloodied pageant dress. And then a ghost shows up – cut to black.
So you see now why I made the Scooby Doo comparison.
And, like, wouldn't you totally be here for a sexy teen Scooby Doo show? Get on that, CW.
Because Nancy Drew does not seem to be that. Like I also said up top, I'm hoping the blah-ness of this episode is pilot jitters, and things settle in over the next few weeks. The cast they've assembled is actually pretty good (a couple of CW C-Listers in there, which is always nice to see. But where's Tori Anderson, hmm? God, I miss No Tomorrow), and I am always here for a mysterious town by the bay setting. It was one of the better features of The Secret Circle.
But the cynical cunt in me is worried that this could be a sign of the Schwartz/Savage empire cracking from being spread too thin. God, I hope not.
A lot of the pre-air commentary was around how similar to Riverdale the marketing made this out to be. And given the content of those trailers, I think that was fair. But then the actual episode hits, and apart from the Dead Lucy stuff, this is not Riverdale at all. Nancy Drew wants to exist in something close to the real world, it seems, whereas Riverdale is much more at home when it's a candy-coloured fairytale. I'm not saying I want Nancy Drew to become as detached from reality as Riverdale, but when you've got ghost princesses rolling around and all your characters in colour coded waitress outfits, I feel like that's what Nancy Drew wants to be. And if it wants to be that, then bloody be that. Don't half-arse it.
For my vote, I would prefer Nancy Drew to instead lean into the obvious I Know What You Did Last Summer of it all, which this location is just begging for. But again, given you've got Dead Lucy on the loose, I don't have faith that would be possible. This show needs an identity.
Is the murder mystery from this episode going to be a season-long arc, or will we be getting cases of the week? Because this episode largely plays the whole thing out.
Nancy's detective past is kind of hand-waved away, I think assuming that the viewer knows the general premise of Nancy Drew being a child detective. Which is fine, but also lazy. Maybe they'll actually shows us some more of that over the season?
The show in general feels like a muddy mid-season replacement show that's been mistakenly aired now.
Oh, and this is more of a personal thing, but I assumed from the marketing (and Riverdale comparisons) that this would be a high school show. Making the characters college-aged is a little more daring, I suppose, but I find ridiculous premises are easier to swallow when your characters are stupid high school kids. Remember how much less plausible Gossip Girl became when they graduated? And can you imagine what's going to happen to Riverdale in a couple of years? Maybe we shouldn't have skipped those teen years of crime solving, and set it there, huh?
Dare to defy, Nancy Drew. Let's see if you can pull it off.
I think what is most promising so far about this show is its setting. Seaside mysteries are a blast, and I have to assume the allusions to I Know What You Did Last Summer are deliberate. In addition to being near the sea, the episode starts out with a view of the cliffs as someone contemplates suicide; there's a local pageant that is key to the events; we have characters who are college aged sulking around their hometown with dark pasts; hell, they even find a little charm/pendant thing that becomes important to the mystery, just like in IKWYDLS. Lean into it, Nancy Drew. This could be great!
The cast is also better than I think this kind of mid-season-esque show deserves. Nancy herself isn't blowing me away yet, but she seems competent enough. It's the supporting cast that caught my attention, though. George is spicy and demanding, but I like the camaraderie between her and Nancy over their shared disdain for the local sheriff; I wrote off Stoner Boy as just that, but lookie here, he's a police mole; City Girl being poor is the oldest twist in the book, but her apparent lack of shame for looting that dead woman's ring seems intriguing; and the husband (a recent mid-season CW staple from Frequency and Life Sentence. Bless), despite having an affair, doesn't appear to be a cardboard cut-out cheating bastard.
Nancy's bland boyfriend gets a little more meaty when we find out he has a manslaughter trial in his past, and Nancy's dad was his lawyer, and the dead woman was a witness or something. I could have done without the apparent drug running thing he's also wrapped up in (that's what I assume that package he's seen with later in the episode is), as drugs didn't do Riverdale any favours. But props to Nancy Drew for giving the stock boyfriend character something more to do this early on.
The biggest wtf moment comes near the start of the episode when Nancy has a memory of her parents digging up a big, ominous chest when she was little. Which is where she finds the bloodied pageant dress to close out the episode. I'm interested.
Oh, and how can I stay mad at a show that cracks out the goon in the very first episode?
Chardonnay, though? Everyone knows Fruity Lexia is the best.

Minor gripe but I didn't like how upset Nancy got over her dad seeing another woman. Especially since she herself was banging this version of her boyfriend from the books, Ned (or "Nick" as they are referring to him here). Her mom had been dead for what, a few years now? I was like, "let your dad be happy, Nancy."
I also didn't like that she left her burglar cap thing behind, I figured that the cops would find it, find her hair and run a DNA test that would lead it back to her. Luckily the female cop lady (can't remember her name) who is with Nancy's dad found it and covered it up. CW Writing is too predictable sometimes.
Overall I thought it was an okay pilot. Nothing amazing but not the worst thing I've seen from CW. I do find it peculiar that this is actually the SECOND Nancy Drew Adaption to release this year. A Nancy Drew film produced by Ellen DeGeneres (and is more in vein with the classic books) quietly dropped back in February. Surprisingly the CW show actually had more promotion than the Movie.

Ah, yes. With the girl from IT. I couldn't bring myself to watch it after the trailer, but I'm sure it was cute enough (and I know it's uncool, but is it bad that I don't actually mind the Emma Roberts one all that much? Embarrassing, I know).
Definitely agree on Nancy's attitude towards her dad's new relationship. Yet another thing that would have been less preposterous if she was a moody high school student.
Edward West-Summers says : October 16, 2019 at 3:21 pm
I liked the Emma Roberts Nancy film as well. Heard something that a sequel was in talks back after it came out but I guess it got scrapped. Pity.
As for the Supernatural elements the show seems to be doing, I'm mixed. The original books were more "Scooby Doo-ish" by having whatever Supernatural thing in the book actually just be a person in a costume. I'm all for adaption shake-ups (especially considering the number of Nancy Drew Adaptions at this point) but given that this is CW I don't know if having a seemingly actual ghost will work.

Fanfest nation: Pursuing 'access' and game-worn pants
Every winter, teams across the majors gift fans with a convention-like event devoted to autographs, season tickets... and also a good deal of complaining.

The Red Lacquer Room
The Red Lacquer Room at Chicago's Palmer House Hilton is bursting with antiquated beauty. Its charm is over a century old and purposely devoid of modern touches, content to remain a pristine relic instead of trying to keep up with the times.
The floor is carpeted, an intricately woven pattern that these days, in the age of mass production, is reserved for area rugs. The walls are blood red and balanced with window treatments that are so delicately precise in both structure and form that it wouldn't be surprising to learn they were actually stitched with gold. Every surface in the sprawling space is painted, upholstered, or gold-plated. It's the sort of space from which Liberace would undoubtedly have drawn design inspiration. The chandeliers are imported from Austria and suspended from the ceiling centered within hand-painted murals.

Chicago White Sox blog South Side Sox
The Red Lacquer Room has entertained dignitaries and hosted countless wedding celebrations. The acoustics are perfect for string quartets and operatic vocals. That is not the purpose to which it is being put today; no soprano coloratura stands at the microphone in the middle of the room, but rather a middle-aged man wearing a blue t-shirt that reads "Caesar's Palace" on the back, the garment a shade of aqua that hasn't had a name since the clothes-wearing population collectively stopped wearing it back in the 1990s. Behind him stand four other such men, each waiting patiently for his chance to take the microphone.
On the stage in front of him, which isn't original to the space and is constructed of steel girders and draped in black velvet to temper its harshness, are the three men that everyone has been waiting to see. When the trio entered, the room erupted in applause, and as they each perched one cheek on their high stools and balanced their weight on their landing foot, they waved to the people that they knew were there but couldn't see because of the blinding up-lights that surrounded the stage. The greeting was near perfect. There was enough feeling behind it to show it wasn't forced and just enough hoots and hollers to convey that there was no hostility.
Not yet, at least.
Every seat in the Red Lacquer Room was full aside from the few that had self-consciously been left as buffers for patrons who are distrustful of the closeness of strangers, but no one wore tuxedos -- but for the man in the Caesar's Palace giveaway it was black T-shirt instead of black tie. Those who were tardy, myself included, stood along the perimeter waiting for the event to begin. It was SoxFest, the annual event at which the Chicago White Sox gave their fans the one thing they crave perhaps more than another championship: that mysterious, ill-defined thing called "access." That exchange is a two-way street: The Sox use that desire to stoke fans for the coming season and hit them with an early chance to buy in in the form of tickets.
What those fans do with that access is another matter.
Connect Four and the Black List
Many major league teams hold an annual fanfest of some kind, and the White Sox are no exception. Each team structures their celebration in different ways. Some teams, particularly those whose fanbase is comprised of a sprawling multi-state constituency, opt for caravans and travel to different locations for pop-up events. Others, mostly the ones in warmer climates, hold their fan festivities at the ballpark and allow attendees to get a glimpse at the parts of the park that are off-limits during the season.
Both Chicago teams hold three-day conventions at two of the nicest hotels in the city, turning the most grandiose spaces into casual zones for batting cages, memorabilia garage sales, and concession stands full of ballpark food. It's not every day that you can see a small child with leftover nacho cheese smeared on his face and fingers carrying a stuffed Southpaw attempting to stick his head between the rails of an ancient staircase, but on this particular weekend in January, you can. Monday morning, when the cleanup from the event begins, the maintenance staff will pack away the chairs, throw away any unclaimed baseball cards, and try to figure out what sort of cleaning supplies will remove the Miller Lite which sloshed out of the plastic cups as people made their way in for seminars from the Red Lacquer Room's delicate carpet.
Fan festivals serve to fuel fans by giving them the two things they crave the most: Access to the team and positive lasting memories. When done properly those two circles can intersect, so the organization attempts to skillfully weave nostalgia and insiderness with a third, and perhaps most important, principle from the team's standpoint: marketing and ticket sales.
The layout of the Palmer House is not really conducive to this sort of event, not just because of a grandeur incongruous with the crowd-worn shabbiness of the ballpark, but also due to its lack of main concourse for gathering and, by default, marketing. It's a labyrinth of escalators, elevators, and long hallways that are lined with floor-to-ceiling mirrors and no seating. There's a SoxFest brochure that details where things are located, but directional signage is lacking, as if the goal were to get lost enough that you linger in your surroundings longer than you might have otherwise. You know you're doing alright if you're headed in the same direction as the marching throngs of patrons wearing black and white pinstripes or if you haven't walked yourself into a corner that's being manned by a White Sox Guest Services employee who tells you that, even with a media credential, you shouldn't be there.
The setup does, however, lend itself to stealth marketing tactics through subtle product placement. There aren't signs to tell you where to go, but there are plenty of poster boards on easels that encourage attendees to stop by the ticket-sales booths and the social media lounge, and to sign up for, "The Black List," an incentive program that gives fans access (there's that word, again) to advance ticket sales, videos, and "breaking news" emails that are actually distilled press releases. There is a sort of mastery in this approach that allows the organization to spoon-feed everyone vegetables under the guise of fun and excitement. In that sense, the White Sox nailed it.
On the fourth floor, there is an entire room dedicated to fair-like amusements. There is table tennis, which has nothing to do with baseball, but has a line to play regardless. Next to that, two gentlemen from the Louisville Slugger museum are there. One dons white gloves and has a collection of bats from former Sox players for fans to hold. The other wears safety goggles and stands behind a computer numerical control (CNC) machine, and whittles a solid timber out of its infancy and into a baseball bat while people watch.
There's pop-a-shot (also not baseball-related), a batting cage, and a speed pitch machine, all of which are intended for children but get used by the occasional balding man who tosses a few jump-shots into the inflatable hoop under the pretense that his son wanted to play. There are picture opportunities with life-sized cardboard facsimiles of Harold Reynolds and Bob Costas, as well as with the giant costumes that interns wear for the player race during Sunday games. Admission to the room of fun is included in the price of entry, but first you have to make it past four booths that line the hallway: ticket sales, season-ticket sales, group and corporate sales, and spring-training ticket sales.
The ticket sale employees are more delicate in their approach than Greenpeace standing on the corner imploring you to Save the Whales would be, but they make their presence known. They hand out calendars and fliers and attempt to engage the passers-by before they lose them to the concession stand. Even with a media credential around my neck, they were anxious to speak to me. I stood near the booth briefly and the refrain of, "How many times did you get to the park last year?" and, "Will we be seeing you in Arizona?" rang out. Even if people don't buy then and there, their presence has at least planted the seed for future purchases; in some cases the eager young salesmen took down their information to call them at a later date, "Glengarry Glen Ross" style.
The positive lasting memories part of the equation is being fulfilled in rooms named after Presidents Adams and Monroe. In hourly intervals there are opportunities to get autographs and photos taken with players, a privilege that is granted to the first 200 or 300 fans through a wristband system. People queue up hours in advance and wait in winding metal mazes like you'd see at Disney World to control excess crowds. The lines are long and boring, subtracting from the time that could be spent in the fun center or in the Red Lacquer Room, but fans either sleep on the floor or talk about the Sox with other patrons. The veterans who have been here before carry five-gallon buckets with them and use them both to stash any merchandise they brought from home or purchased in at the team's garage sale and as portable seating in the arduous lines that net either an autograph or a photo-op on the other side.
Aside from certain hallways and a handful of events that require VIP SoxFest status, access is unfettered. Fans are free to sit in the hotel's lobby and have a drink. They are free to take in seminars in the Red Lacquer Room. They can sit on the floor of the hallway playing on their Twitter account, or stand inches away from radio personalities doing a live-broadcast on WSCR 670 the Score. They can toss beanbags with Adam Eaton, play Connect Four with Nate Jones, or wave to the newest addition, Jose Abreu, who was occasionally spotted in the hallway. There was no limit on the amount of time that one could spend flipping through old baseball cards, and, when given her choice of game-worn pants to purchase for $10, a middle-age lady argued to no one in particular that it was such a steal that she could afford to own both Jake Peavy's and Gordon Beckham's pants.
I wandered SoxFest for hours, talking to as many people as I could about their experience (though, admittedly, most were way more interested in standing in line or eating pizza than actually talking to me). When I asked the purpose of their visit, the first word they inevitably reached for was, "Access." That was the reasons they shelled out $100 for the weekend.
Wishing Jose Abreu a Happy Birthday
Saturday morning in the Red Lacquer Room felt like a shareholder meeting where businessmen gather to discuss the trials and tribulations of last year's business, because, in a sense, it was. However, instead of questions being fired by stakeholders -- that is, those who draw financial dividends from success and lose money in failure -- the three men on the stage -- manager Robin Ventura, general manager Rick Hahn, and broadcaster Hawk Harrelson -- were there to field questions not from those who have tangible stakes in the health of the organization, but have made a metaphorical investment nonetheless.
This is where the access part gets tricky.
This particular seminar was entitled "Recharged & Remade: Your 2014 White Sox." Anyone could ask a question by waiting their turn for the microphone in the center aisle.
The first interlocutor asked Hahn why A.J. Pierzynski was no longer the team's catcher, which was met with raucous applause from fans who are fed up with the sub-replacement level catchers the team fielded in his absence. Hahn did his best to explain the aging curve of baseball players and the desire to move towards a younger core, but the man who asked the question didn't even hear him, as he was too busy high-fiving strangers.
HE ASKED THE MANAGER WHAT HE WOULD DO TO GAIN BACK THE CREDIBILITY HE LOST WITH HIS PLAYERS.
The second questioner, bitten by the more positive feelings of fandom, grabbed the microphone and said, "It's a lot of fun to come up here [to ask a question], and it's pretty damn cool!" and used his one chance to speak to the mastermind behind building the team's roster about future fanfest events instead of something relevant to baseball.
When the man in the Caesar's Palace T-shirt got his chance, he fixed Ventura with a stare and asked the manager what he would do to gain back the credibility he lost with his players during the 99-loss season, as though he had some insider information about clubhouse chaos that even the media wasn't privy to. Ventura, who just signed a contract extension earlier in the week, is as quick-witted as managers come, but after a long pause he became slightly defensive and said that it would be simple for him since he hadn't lost it in the first place.
Then things got lazy and predictable. There were complaints about how painful it is to watch Adam Dunn bat, how awful Josh Phegley and Tyler Flowers are behind the plate, and who the starters would be next season. One man so brazenly offered to help Hahn and Ventura with lineup construction. After the third question relating to future fan events, Hahn reminded those in attendance that he's not the director of marketing, and said, almost pleadingly, that he'd be happy to answer baseball-related questions. It didn't seem as if the fans were willfully dragging the panel off topic, but that some were just too awestruck to actually pose a relevant question. In a later session, someone stood in a long line just to wish Jose Abreu a happy birthday.
These happy few were met with a different kind of exuberance by others who wanted to use their "access" not to gain more knowledge, but to air their grievances. To the credit of the three-man panel, at no point did things feel like they were unraveling, not even when someone told Ventura that they preferred Ozzie Guillen as a manager and asked Ventura if he, "actually had a pulse." Throughout the inquisition, Ventura and Harrelson showed they were adept at deflecting hostility with humor, and Hahn leaned on phrases like, "I'm certain that I'm even more upset than you are" when fans vented about last year's losses.
Maybe they are used to being held accountable when the stakes are low, but the "Recharged & Rebuilding: Your 2014 White Sox" seminar was more like a group-led "Rehash & Recapitulate 2013's Failures." It was a caricature of a town-hall meeting, something you'd see on Parks and Recreation, but instead of debating corn syrup, Sweetums bars, and ham and mayonnaise sandwiches, the townspeople shouted about Wins Above Replacement and batting averages.
It was an hour of beating dead horses and pursuing irrelevancies. This wasn't accountability and it wasn't affection, it was just a room full of sports talk-radio callers who wanted to escalate their complaints to the top of the ladder and lend their insight into Beckham's ongoing batting slump or Alexei Ramirez's mental errors. It was uncomfortable at times, being a bystander at a mutiny. The lack of empathy for the real difficulties inherent in running a team, particularly one that was neglected by the previous general manager as badly as the White Sox were in recent years, seemed particularly and unfair -- Ventura and Hahn didn't create the situation, they were trying to repair it. The untempered hostility took on a personal dimension when I realized that the lady standing next to me was married to one of the players whose name elicited boos every time it was mentioned. After each chorus, she would wince and shudder visibly.
A year from now, there will be another SoxFest, and they'll all be there again. Barring unlikely seasons from Tyler Flowers, Josh Phegley, or Adrian Nieto, they'll still be asking about Pierzynski, who will be 38 years old by then, and even if the Sox improve over last season's 99 losses, there will still tough questions to answer in the Red Lacquer Room.
No one will think twice about it once the session ends -- for some, their lasting memory will be that they were happy just to be in the same room with the second-rate stars of their also-ran team, and for others they will be able to boast as to how they gave those baseball fat-cats a piece of their minds -- indeed, as soon as the words were spoken they were being bragged about on Twitter.
As for the rest, they'll leave the ballroom, wait in line to meet players, and they'll peruse the apparel and game-used equipment in the garage sale, hoping to find a helmet worn by Brent Morel or Aaron Rowand. They'll get their access and lasting memories, and in return, the organization will see a spike in ticket sales from satisfied and dissatisfied customers alike.
In the final analysis, they all got what they wanted. In the 21st century, "access" doesn't mean getting to be an appreciative audience, passively basking in proximity to those we are normally restricted to watching on television or from the stands, but being a participant. That can mean wearing someone else's pants or assuming that one has the place, the knowledge, and the standing to mind-read an entire clubhouse vis-à-vis its feelings regarding the manager.
The White Sox and teams like them bestow an incredible gift on a self-selected subset of their fans. In exchange for being able to subject attendees to a subtle but omnipresent sales push, they erase the fan/team divide: for this one weekend, everyone is Jerry Reinsdorf. It must be galling at times, being subjected to affection and hostility, both unearned in roughly equal measure, but that's the irony of a fanfest. You'd think that it would be the White Sox making the equivalent of a timeshare presentation, but it's really the team getting the hard sell, fan after fan saying, "Listen to me! I'm one of you!"

Solving society's challenges
Joseph A. Alutto
Distinguished Professor of Organizational Behavior
Interim President Joseph A. Alutto describes how Ohio State's size and scale enable it to find solutions that benefit communities everywhere.
When the Orange Bowl ends Friday night, the transformative work of two land-grant universities will continue off the field. Inside Sun Life Stadium, The Ohio State University and Clemson University will be fierce opponents. Off the field, both universities share a common mission to improve the quality of life in communities across America.
Ohio State is one of the biggest and most comprehensive universities in the country with 14 different colleges, including seven health sciences colleges, and more than 300 collaborative research centers and initiatives. As such, the university has the infrastructure, intellectual depth and collaborative spirit to address the world's most pressing problems. More important, as a land-grant university, Ohio State is duty-bound to make the world a better place — in Florida, South Carolina, Ohio and beyond.
Each and every day, Ohio State tackles issues that South Florida residents care deeply about — from cutting-edge neurological research deep inside the human brain to deep-sea research aimed at healing the world's battered coral reefs.
At Ohio State's Wexner Medical Center, neurosurgeon Ali Rezai and his team have stretched the limits of deep brain stimulation with ground-breaking research. They have become among the first in the world to develop trials to investigate whether this technique, known for its effectiveness in tremor disorders such as Parkinson's disease, can treat obesity, autism, stroke, post-traumatic stress disorder and other neurological conditions.
Continuing to search for new applications for the process that places tiny electrodes in the brain to help regulate electrical signals, Rezai's team recently implanted the first "brain pacemaker" in a woman with Alzheimer's to test the technique's effectiveness in improving cognitive and behavioral functioning. This research may someday extend and improve the lives of Florida's senior population by finding answers to the neurological riddles that diminish the lives of many of our elderly.
Ohio State's research also plumbs the deepest waters of the ocean. Off the coast of Hawaii, Ohio State earth sciences professor Andrea Grottoli leads a team studying the effects of climate change and land use on coral. She hopes to learn ways we can help coral reefs — home to 25 percent of all marine species — thrive in an undersea world threatened by climate and acidification. Someday, her research could help the Great Florida Reef and other fragile ecosystems survive and adapt in the coming century.
Back on dry land, Ohio State research on driver behavior may someday curb Florida's harrowing pedestrian and bicycling fatality rates, which were the highest in the country last year. Developed in partnership with Honda R&D Americas, Ohio State's Driving Simulation Laboratory uses state-of-the-art technology to study the factors that affect driver behavior and road safety. This innovative research into the psychological components of the driving experience could lead to breakthroughs in vehicle safety.
The noble quest to learn more about our mysterious and marvelous world and solve the problems that confound modern society is the driving force behind all of our research. Ohio State strives continually to find innovative solutions that will make a real difference in the lives of people in your neighborhood and across this globe.
There is no higher calling, and we are proud to devote our lives to it.

Q: Inequality concerning BV norm
Let $u(x) \in L^1( \mathbb{R}^n) \cap BV(\mathbb{R}^n)$ and let $\rho\ge 0$ be the standard mollifier on $\mathbb{R}^d$, supported in unit ball with $\int_{\mathbb{R}^d}\rho \,dx=1$ and  define $\rho_\delta= \frac{1}{\delta^n}\rho(\frac{x}{\delta})$, then $\int_{\mathbb{R}^d}\rho_\delta \,dx=1$ .  How shall I prove that $$\int_{\mathbb{R}^n} \int_{\mathbb{R}^n}| u(y)-u(x)| \rho_\delta(y-x) \,dx\,dy \le \delta |u|_{BV(\mathbb{R}^d)}$$

I wrote this as after putting $z=\frac{y-x}{\delta}$, $$\int_{|z|\le 1} \int_{\mathbb{R}^n}| u(x+\delta z)-u(x)| \rho(z) \,dx\,dz$$ $$= \int_{|z|\le 1}\int_{\mathbb{R}^n}\Big|\int^1_0 \nabla u( x+\lambda \delta z) \cdot \delta z \,d\lambda\Big| \rho(z)\,dx\,dz$$ $$\le \delta \int_{|z|\le 1} \int^1_0 \int_{\mathbb{R}^n}| \nabla u(x+\lambda \delta z)|\,dx\rho(z)\,d\lambda\,dz$$
Now if I can prove that $\int_{\mathbb{R}^n}| \nabla u(x+\lambda \delta z)|\,dx\ \le |u|_{BV(\mathbb{R}^n)}$ , then I will be done. But I'm not sure how to do this.

Femail sex organs
So when Paul, a PE teacher, suddenly lost interest in having sex, Susan feared he was having an affair. If I made an advance, Paul would say things like "I'm not in the mood",' says Susan, now 57, from Sutton Coldfield in the West Midlands. I'd think: "Is there something wrong with me? Is he going off with somebody else? We'd always said if we met someone else we'd be upfront. I was preparing myself for him telling me he'd met another woman. It was only when Susan, a site manager for a school, found Paul, now 59, in their bedroom in floods of tears that she realised something altogether different was going on.
By this point, the symptoms had been going on for a few months,' she says. He said he couldn't understand what was wrong with him. Not only had he lost his sex drive, but he was exhausted all the time, had put on a lot of weight and was suffering from extreme mood swings. Susan forced her husband to see his GP, who ordered a blood test to check Paul's testosterone levels. Paul says: 'My testosterone levels were almost non-existent, which the doctors think was a result of a bad bout of flu I'd had that had knocked out my ability to produce it. LORRAINE CANDY: Will I get cancer, my son asks. He was prescribed three-monthly testosterone injections, which he now has to have for life.
It was after the second jab that Paul noticed his sex drive returning and his other symptoms disappearing. It was an amazing feeling when my libido came back,' he says. Now, four years after his problems began, Susan says she and Paul make love up to five times a week. She adds: 'For months it felt like I'd lost my husband, but six months after starting the injections he was a new man. It was like having the Paul I first met back again. Paul adds: 'It's definitely difficult for a man to admit he is having problems in the bedroom.
I'm so glad it could be sorted – those months were the worst period of our marriage. Paul might have felt alone, but he's certainly not. There's evidence that more and more men are suffering from a low libido. The common perception is that men constantly think about sex and are always ready to make love.
But a recent survey for online pharmacy ukmedix. 62 per cent of men turn down sex more frequently than their female partner, with a third admitting they had lost their sex drive. Another poll revealed one in four men is no longer having sexual intercourse at all – and the figure rises to 42 per cent for men over 55 – while a quarter said they had been affected by erectile dysfunction at some point in their lives. Dr David Edwards, a GP specialising in sexual issues, says the impact of low libido on a man and his relationship can be devastating. He says: 'Sexual problems are the most common cause of men crying in my surgery. I saw a man recently and his low libido had destroyed his previous relationship.
He'd suffered with it for 12 years, and only came to me because his current partner said she would leave unless he sought help. Lucy Bowden and Stuart Brown certainly know how a low libido can push a couple to the edge. After seven months living together, they'd begun having blazing rows about trivial things such as who'd failed to buy teabags. Both knew the real problem was much more sensitive – Stuart had virtually stopped wanting to make love.

This Danish trader and peacemaker pleads guilty to another exploit Scandinavian explorers have been accused of: stealing local woman. Judging from his photo, he must have had his pick of the ladies right? He fathered children with two women and still found time to add Bali's rice and spices to the trade route. His grave is South of Ubud, close to where I am headed.
To get there, I don't navigate the seas like Mads, but rather arrive in a big bird with wine onboard. After an hour's drive through villages and rice fields, I am ecstatic to hear that the first treatment on the scheduled retreat starts in 15 minutes – a Balinese Boreh. Fatigue and vertigo prevent me from asking what that is, but the smell of incense and the sound of the rushing Ayung River convince me it will be glorious.
Birds chirp and a lizard scurries by, as the practitioner dips my toes into a footbath accompanied by a cucumber-infused glass of water.
Surrounded by jungle, Fivelements covers over 2009sqm of attentively designed landscape based on the ancient Balinese science of construction called 'Mandala Nawa Sanga.' Put simply, the focus is on directional alignments and how constructions blend into nature using eco-conscious principles. The seven high-ceilinged, straw-roofed suites encompass a rustic open-air concept.
Of the different retreats is also Panca Mahabhuta for replenishment and 'Finding Centre' to explore pottery and yoga. A key part of these retreats is that due to purifying treatments and the beneficial 'living food' concept, emotional and physical shifts are almost inevitable. Some are subtle; however, according to the guests' comments, it is life-changing for many.
This centre is filled with highly skilled professionals who offer nurturing specialization. A consultation with the program organizer allows revisions to the health form (sent long before arrival) as it seems, while you unclutter your mind, a myriad of highs and lows appear.
During my stay, I experience fits of ecstasy, waves of nausea, a few tears and a lot of laughs – this is not on the brochure!
Among the recent wave of unconventional spas springing up around the world, Fivelements stands out for its authenticity. One noteworthy ritual held at the centre's temple is the water blessing ceremony.
They warn me it will be cold, but I am warmed by Sanskrit chanting and the ringing of a small bell. That does not last – it is cold, yet walking back to my room in my sopping wet sarong, I feel energized, renewed and ready for whatever comes next. What comes next is a handsome, young, yoga instructor with the posture of a marine who takes me through a flowing sequence.
The private session ends with him guiding my limbs through a Tai Chi-style stretch that throws me into bliss, so of course I laugh when he says, 'Now time for relaxation.' A short closing meditation and I'm off to a breakfast of yogurt and goji berries.
The week flies by filled with bodywork, massage, colonic hydrotherapy, Somatic (dialogue and movement) and water healing (please try this – it will move you in more ways than one), and oh yeah, did I mention the award-winning food?
Ultimately, the remote location enables you to take time for yourself, a partner or creative work – without diversions. "This is why we don't have televisions in the rooms" says one of the owners Chicco Tatriele. "We have enough screen time; the focus is on reconnecting with your authentic self." No matter which direction you look in, everything is alive – in turn, you become more alive and peaceful.
So if you happen to be in Bali, Fivelements invites you to be a peacemaker by currently offering a deal of (pay for 2 nights at a 50% discount and stay one free and any retreat of 3/5/7/10/14/21 nights at a 10% discount.

I think we can consider Streets of Bethlehem a success. As stated Sunday morning, I would have been pleased with an attendance of 200 for the weekend. I underestimated the popularity of this event by about 1,100! If you can do the math, you know we had right at 1,300 for the weekend. Throughout the weekend, we made adjustments based on crowd size and reaction.
I want to give a big thank you to all the performers, construction crew, food preparation team and most importantly, Sunny Yeatts. Sunny has dreamed of this event for many years. Just after I arrived, Sunny began pitching this idea to me. Last year, I gave approval to begin the project. Sunny took that approval and went to work preparing a budget and enlisting workers. What we experienced this weekend is just the beginning of this endeavor. Although we made adjustments on the fly this weekend, Sunny, myself and leaders of her team will work on adjustments for next year.
Beyond the total number of attendees, one major aspect of this event really caught my attention. Given our understanding of the demographics of Sanger, one major goal of Streets of Bethlehem was catching the attention of young families. Each showing of Streets brought many young families to our building. The first showing each night was especially loaded with that target audience. Even better, I had the opportunity to personally speak with numerous young families who are not attending church anywhere. This shows that unchurched young families want to experience with their children the reason we celebrate Christmas. FBC Sanger gave those families the opportunity to do just that in a manner appealing to them. Great job church family.
Christmas Eve is just around the corner. The Pastoral Staff talked briefly this morning about the unusual calendar for this year. We are fine tuning our plans for Christmas Eve and will roll that out this weekend.

Art on Fire: From Rodin's Bombed Thinker to Ruhwald's Ceramic Sculptures
Anders Ruhwald Weather Thinker, 2017 Glazed earthenware 57.75 x 16.25 x 16.75 in. 146.7 x 41.3 x 42.6 cm (AR-MB1016)(Courtesy: Moran Moran)
How art evolves over time? In 1970, Rodin's Thinker was bombed outside The Cleveland Art Museum, as a protest against the Vietnam War. The Museum then decided to re-install the sculpture unrestored, inscribing a political manifestation into its narrative. Anders Ruhwald explores this story in his new exhibition, "The Hand is the Mind is the Bomb that Blows," on view at Moran Moran in Los Angeles. Boom!
The exhibition features a new series of 25 large ceramic sculptures. On the surface, the works focus on one of the most rudimentary interactions – an artist's hand shaping a material. Through the artist's hands and the process of firing, matter solidifies into meaning. Ruhwald created these objects that took months of focused and intensive studio work, it's a result of a complete immersion and embracement of clay's metamorphic nature as a material. There exists a rare physicality to his process as he transforms tons of clay and gallons of glaze using minimal tools, putting them through numerous firings.
Central to the gallery installation are four "Index" objects that Ruhwald has idiosyncratically named as : Blow, Person, Mass, and Coil. Each sits in one of the four corners of the artist's rectangular exhibition layout, becoming references to the remaining 21 sculptures. These index objects outline central aspects of his work: Person is the human space, Blow- the perforated surface, Mass the dense material , whereas Coil becomes his time/technique, with which he creates these fabulous objects. For Ruhwald, these pieces reflect the nature of sculpture and how the meaning of an artwork transcends with time.
"The Hand is the Mind is the Bomb that Blows" makes visible an amalgamation of human and matter through a range of open-ended explorations the artist puts in motion. The sculptures juxtapose between the figurative and the abstract, allowing a sense of body and material to appear at the same time. Anders Ruhwald (b. 1974, Randers, Denmark) lives and works in Detroit, MI.
The exhibition will be on view from September 9, through October 7,2017 at Moran Moran, 937 N. La Cienega Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Q: "Price-is-right" binary search I needed to write a function to find what frame of an animation to show given a time point on the animation's timeline. What I ended up writing is what I can only describe as a "price is right" binary search: a binary search that finds the closest value in an ordered list without going over.
For example, if the time is 42, I want to find the index of the frame to pull up given the following list of frame times:
times = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 41, 43]   # assumed to be sorted

In this case, it would return index 7, since 41 is the closest time without going over the target time of 42. My algorithm is below:
def binary_search(t, start, end):
    if start == end:
        return start

    if end - start == 1:
        if t < times[end]:
            return start
        else:
            return end

    i = start + ((end - start) / 2)

    if times[i] > t:
        return binary_search(t, start, i)
    elif times[i] < t:
        return binary_search(t, i, end)
    else:
        return i

It's not entirely faithful to the price-is-right, because values that are lower than the lowest element can still "win" (eg. -1 will return index 0).
So, this all works and is nice. But I'm wondering if this algorithm has a specific name?
ideone here.


You need to move all of the "new" calls (e.g. new DigitalInput, new Relay, new DoubleSolenoid) into robotInit. Calling them from teleopPeriodic() will basically instantly raise an exception on enabling the robot because it will be seen as trying to double-allocate these resources the second time teleopPeriodic is called (it's called periodically during teleop, hence the name).
In the future, it would be helpful to not only provide the code but be more specific than "nothing functions" when it comes to symptoms–what does the DS show? Is there any console/RioLog output, etc. In this case I would expect you to see "No Robot Code" for a brief bit after enabling the robot, and a stacktrace to appear in the log window.
You need to do the same with all your other objects. By moving the entirty to robotInit(), the objects won't exist for teleopPeriodic().
Anywhere you are declaring the variable, AND using the new keyword inside the teleopPeriodic() method.
Apart from that, it looks good.
alright now different error with those removed what should be in front of those?
You shouldn't need anything additional in front of those.
you want to replace var with Spark.
One thing to check there is if you have the most up-to-date image on the RIO. I know there was an issue fixed involving the Drive MotorSafety WatchDogs earlier this season. I believe it should be v14, and i believe this can be checked on the diagnostics tab of the DriverStation.
Otherwise, I'm not sure why you are seeing that issue. Everything else looks good.
if that doesn't work is there a way to just disable that?
Warning at edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.RobotBase.startRobot(RobotBase.java:274): Robots should not quit, but yours did!
I HIGHLY recommend AGAINST disabling the MotorSafety watchdogs. They are there to stop the motors in the event the robot locks up or otherwise stops taking in user input.

Forward 50 2011
Burton Visotzky
Image by JTS
In the stepped-up dialogue between American Jews and American Muslims, Burton Visotzky is in many ways the guy making things happen, quietly and off-camera, while others take high-profile bows. Visotzky, a rabbi who serves as the Appleman Professor of Midrash and Interreligious Studies at
the Jewish Theological Seminary, creates, organizes and participates in a stunning array of interfaith activities that, over time, have helped transform the sound of Jews and Muslims talking together from a pin drop to a cacophony.
This year, Visotzky, 60, was deeply involved in the aftermath of the Park 51 controversy over the proposed Islamic community center near Ground Zero, and during the run-up to the 10th anniversary of the World Trade Center attacks. When Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, Park 51's original leader, went underground due to threats on his life last year, Visotzky hosted Rauf's wife, Daisy Khan, at the JTS sukkah, where he rounded up a gaggle of Jewish leaders to offer their public support. This past spring and summer, Visotzky helped organize "Our Better Angels," a series of pre-10th anniversary public gatherings at St. Paul's Church near Ground Zero that brought Jews, Muslims, Christians and Sikhs together for dialogue, music and study of each others' texts. Visotzky also organized and hosted a tour of the National September 11 Memorial led by its architect, Michael Arad, for leaders of the Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Hindu and Sikh communities.
"The news media like conflict," he said in one interview. "But there is an enormous amount of Muslim-Jewish dialogue going on, and much of it has been initiated by Muslims reaching out — in some ways around Israel, but in some ways also trying to reach Israel through the American Jewish community."
