Hi James,

It is already well known that routes come and go.
It is already well known that the way to determine
whether a destination is reachable is to attempt to
contact that destination.
That is NOT the issue that I am raising.

We have seen the following PROBLEM.
Our code has a dependency upon Solaris network routing.
After SMF reports that Solaris network routing initialization
has begun. We attempt to contact the quorum device.
That attempt fails. We wait and retry.
ALL SUBSEQUENT retries fail !!!
If we make the code sleep long enough for Solaris routing to
complete initialization, then after a failed attempt
to connect, then retries work whenever the route becomes
available. The problem is that Solaris routing goes into
an error state when we attempt to connect before it is ready.
SMF starts services as soon as the service dependencies are satisfied.
So we can and do attempt our first connection before
Solaris routing is really ready !

We are not asking for indication as to when a route is present.
We want to know when we can attempt to establish a connection
without Solaris routing going into an error state that
causes all subsequent attempts to connect to fail.

We have found another recovery method for this problem.
We do not just retry the connection.
We destroy all network data structures (socket)
This clears the bad state. retries then eventually succeed.

Slide show: 5 healthy recipes for fresh fruit
Photo showing grilled fruit slices
Previous Next 1 of 5 Grilled fresh fruit slices

Fresh fruit is a healthy way to treat your palate with lively snacks, side dishes, desserts and meals. For these recipes, choose fresh fruit or fresh-frozen fruit, which has been quickly frozen at the peak of freshness.

Starting off this visual tour is a side dish of grilled fresh fruit slices. Cut fresh fruit, such as apples, pears or peaches, into wedges or cubes. Brush the fruit lightly with canola oil and sprinkle with cinnamon. Place the fruit on skewers (soak wood skewers in water at least 10 minutes first) or wrap in foil. Grill on low heat for 3 to 5 minutes, then enjoy. Here, thawed frozen peaches were added to fresh apples, pears and plums.

Lessons Learned: Natively Compiling Tidy HTML for Heroku

Recently I was working on a project and wanted to be able to utilize Tidy to clean up some HTML output. I added the tidy_ffi gem to my project and voila, it worked! Or, to be more specific, it worked locally.

Once I pushed to Heroku I started running into trouble, namely that, the dynamically linkable native library that tidy_ffi depends upon, wasn’t found. Uh oh.

Getting My Hands Dirty To Get Tidy

Before yesterday I knew about Heroku buildpacks in theory. I also knew that I really didn’t want to have to use one to solve this problem. My first clue came in the form of a Stack Overflow post in which someone used Tidy on a Bamboo-stack application but was having trouble migrating it. Aha! Surely this will solve my problem.

So I rolled up my sleeves to do the kind of low-level work I usually try to avoid (while still trying to avoid as much of it as possible). I used heroku run bash to shell into a fresh Bamboo app that I created and then used SCP to copy out the file there. I added it to my repo, followed the instructions on the StackOverflow post, and pushed. And the app came crashing down.

Sha Sha

As it turns out, since the post was authored Bamboo and Cedar have diverged in their precise Linux installations. The versions are the same, the git SHAs are different. C’est la vivre. Now we turn to more complex solutions.

I knew that I would need to compile Tidy myself, but how? As it turns out, Heroku offers a tool called vulcan that allows you to create a build server in the cloud and compile binaries that are compatible with Heroku (because they’re compiled on Heroku). After a few hiccups, I had my build server up and running, but now I needed to build from source!

Tidy is an old project. I mean, it’s a really old project. It uses CVS as its versioning system. Unable to check out using CVS as per the project’s instructions (I’m still not sure why this didn’t work, but it probably has something to do with the fact that it was CVS), I instead downloaded a tarball from browsing the CVS repo on SourceForge.

Once I had the source, it was time to build it. Tidy doesn’t have a typical structure for a buildable library, but after some experimentation I finally figured out the necessary incantations:

vulcan build -v    -s ~/Downloads/tidy    -p /tmp/tidy    -c "sh build/gnuauto/ && ./configure --prefix=/tmp/tidy --with-shared && make && make install"

Some notes about what’s going on here:

  • -s ~/Downloads/tidy was the directory into which I downloaded Tidy’s source.
  • -p /tmp/tidy sets the prefix on the Heroku filesystem. Since Heroku apps can only write to /tmp this needed to be inside /tmp.
  • -c "..." I used the same prefix when configuring for make to build to the right directory. --with-shared gets Tidy to compile the .so files and not just .a files.

Once this command was run, vulcan downloaded a tarball containing the files I needed. Woohoo! I added this to my repo as lib/native/ and I was ready to rock and roll!

Getting Up and Running

Further experimentation and frustration ensued trying to get everything just right but here’s the Ruby code that finally got things working:

require 'tidy_ffi' if ENV['RACK_ENV'] == 'production'   TidyFFI.library_path = "/app/lib/native/"   require 'tidy_ffi/interface'   require 'tidy_ffi/lib_tidy' end

Here we set the library path manually and throw in some extra requires that didn’t autoload properly for some reason in production. After all that work my app was able to Tidy HTML like a champ!

So Long, Comfort Zone

While I’m comfortable plumbing the depths of any Ruby application I’m not actually well versed in solving problems like this. It was a chance to step outside my comfort zone and figure something out through trial, error, patience, and frustration. Knowing a little about how vulcan works is going to have me feeling more confident the next time I need a native library that isn’t available by default on Heroku.

If you want to use Tidy on Heroku, you don’t have to go through quite the same ardor that I did because you can download the Heroku-compatible file directly! Just add it to your repo, link it using the Ruby above, and have fun tidying up!

GIMPA gets Institute in Logistics

Accra, May 17, GNA - The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT) and the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA) has opened an International Certificate Programme in Logistics and Transport, to offer skill training for professionals in the West Africa Sub-region.

The programme, which would start in September, was launched on Monday to create an excellent opportunity for more professionals in Ghana to expand their knowledge and skills in transport and logistics. Mr Emmanuel Adjei Boye, Deputy Minister Roads and Transport, said there was the absence of a more accessible and reputable training institution, which could provide the basic and advance knowledge for the various managerial levels in the transport and logistics. That factor has led to the poor state of the transport and logistics industry.

He stated that the growth and development of any economy largely depended upon the efficient and effective movement of people, goods and services and thus the role of an efficient transport towards this objective could not be downplayed.

Mr Adjei Boye mentioned instances where promising transport organisations such as the Omnibus Services Authority (OSA) and many other private transport companies collapsed due to poor managerial skills.

Government was aware of the pitfalls of the previous operational arrangement of OSA and had resolved not to commit the mistakes of the past.

He said the present Metro Mass Transit (MMT) Company had, therefore, been structured on sound management practices to provide mass transit to commuters in the metropolitan and principal areas of the country.

The Government would ensure that the managerial and operational staff of the MMT benefited from the opportunity created by the joint effort of CILT and GIMPA, he said.

Mr Adjei-Boyed urged all logistics and transport organisations to take advantage of the training and sponsor their staff to improve upon their knowledge for the benefit of their companies.

Mr Edward Richard Dwomoh, Board Chairman, Ghana Airways, who launched the programme, said the nation could only move forward if professionals including those in the logistics and transport arena began to do things in line with modern management practices and with the kind of skills that matched current technology.

He urged the Ministry and the Institute to closely collaborate to ensure that the transport and logistics industry developed in line with current management practices and technology.

Mr Ransford Akai, President, CILT Ghana, said the programme was an international one that aimed at providing its members with career continuity.

He appealed to the Ministry of Education to develop keen interest in transport and logistics issues by introducing them into the school curriculum so that the basics of quality management skills were formed from the basic school levels. 17 May 04

Amen means so shall it be.

Duty Free Shopping

Duty free purchase is so convenient, but be aware of rules and restrictions

By Relocation Expert
December 6, 2011

Traveling home for the holidays? Duty free shopping is a great way for expats, frequent travelers, and tourists to to grab those last minute Christmas gifts at a discounted price as you can make your purchases without having to pay national taxes or duties. These kind of shops can usually be found in major airports, abroad ships and at sea ports. Buying various items without having to pay any duty or taxes is oh so tempting; still there are certain restrictions that buyers should be aware of.

Many countries impose restrictions on the number of items that a person is allowed to purchase at duty free shops. For items that exceed this limit, the buyer needs to pay duty fees.

Duty free shops will require you to show that you are traveling out of country (for example, by showing your boarding pass). Thus, if you intend to buy at duty free shops, always carry your passport, travel itinerary and boarding pass with you.

Before purchasing at duty free shops, make sure you do a research on products and prices. Investigate on how much an item normally costs in retail stores. This way you will be able to make better decisions on what to buy at duty free, and if the item is really worth the cost.

In general, you are only allowed to take an advantage of duty free purchase, if you are leaving a country for at least 48 hours. It means that, if you don’t intend to leave a country within 48 hours from purchase, you cannot re-enter the country you are shopping in with items you purchased at that country’s duty free shop.

In almost all the countries, there are restrictions on the amount of alcoholic beverages and tobacco products you may bring into that country. For instance, the limit for the USA is one liter of alcoholic beverages and one carton of cigarettes per person. Therefore, buyers should try to get familiar with the laws of the country they’re traveling to or from, before any duty free purchases of these products.

When shopping duty free, always keep the receipts for your purchases, as you may be required to show it at customs office or at security check.

Property: Still a Heartfelt Present for Your Financial Future

It’s Christmas Eve and, as such, I’m home in the suburb where I grew up–fresh off a conversation with a few of my oldest friends (since 5th grade and counting) about buying property.

Lea, who lives in Washington, D.C., is toying with the idea of buying a condo. I just refinanced mine in Chicago. Colleen is resigning herself to the fact she will never be able to afford San Francisco property.

We used to talk about boys; now it’s mortgage brokers.

But–despite numerous reports in recent months of the housing market slumping downward for what seems like an endless period–they recognize that property is a good investment. Like any investment, it’s just one that takes time to grow.

And, per Colleen’s request, I’m posting the scene from A Charlie Brown Christmas in which Lucy tells Charlie Brown she gets toys and other things she doesn’t want for Christmas.

"I never get what I really want," Lucy says. Charlie Brown asks her what that is. "Real estate," Lucy replies mournfully.

As we close out what has been an undeniably bleak year for the housing industry, take note: There is wisdom in Lucy’s words.

Real estate–despite declining prices, construction and just about everything else–remains the largest investment most Americans will make in their lifetime. It’s one that may take more time to appreciate, true, but it’s still a solid way to grow your money.

It is more imperative than ever that homeowners make smart purchases, that developers carefully plan communities for maximum value and appeal, that mortgage brokers cautiously–and conscientiously–steer homeowners into homes they can afford.

The Fed’s newly suggested lending guidelines are a positive step toward that happening; let’s hope the subprime bailout plan helps the maximum number of homeowners hold on to their largest asset.

But to climb out of the housing slump, we need to turn consumer confidence around (more than one in five homeowners surveyed recently expected their home value to fall next year, according to Reuters. And Bloomberg reported recently that U.S. Homebuilder confidence was at an all-time low.).

We need to motivate the buyers who have the money and the need (like Lea) to buy but are waiting for either further price drops to get a deal or for things to turn around so the market feels less shaky. We need to unload some of that ridiculously large housing inventory.

And we need to wish on a Christmas star–and believe–that housing only feels like it will be down forever. Happy housing days will be here again.

So invest. Retain. Renovate. Reach out if you need help. Refinance.

And, for those of you racing out today to do that last-minute Christmas shopping, may we suggest picking up a condo or split-level ranch for the loved ones on your list? Just a thought…

Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary, How Do Your β-Cells Fail?

Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary, How Do Your �-Cells Fail? Jack L. Leahy The dogma regarding the pathogenesis of type 2diabetes has evolved over the last decade toview the islet �-cell as the final determinant ofwhether glucose tolerance is normal or abnor- mal (1). While obesity and insulin resistance have reached epidemic proportions around the world, the presence of an appropriate compensation of insulin secretion (“healthy �-cells”) allows daylong glycemia to be indistin- guishable from metabolically normal individuals (2). In turn, pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes result from progres- sive �-cell dysfunction (3). As such, an army of research- ers worldwide is searching for the pathogenic basis of this �-cell dysfunction, along with strategies of when, and how, to intervene. What has resulted is a reasonably good mapping of the natural history of the �-cell dysfunction, plus a lengthy list of potential mechanisms. Most are based on animal studies; therefore, homing in on the operative mechanisms in humans remains a challenge. Still, there is high confidence within the �-cell research arena that we are on the right track to identifying the molecular details of �-cell compensation and failure. Figure 1 shows the proposed stages of �-cell dysfunc- tion. It begins early, perhaps at birth, with �-cells that are programmed to be at risk to fail (“susceptible �-cells”). Indeed, the recent genome-wide scans have identified many susceptibility genes for type 2 diabetes that likely impact the development and ongoing homeostasis of the mass of �-cells, as well as insulin secretion and synthesis (4). Although direct evidence is lacking, many are betting that a lowered mass of normally functional �-cells, from genetics or environmentally based imprinting during fetal or early life, will end up being a common cause of susceptible �-cells, based on animal (5,6) and human (Kumar et al. [7]) studies posthemipancreatectomy show- ing a predilection for diabetes. Eventually, �-cell dysfunc- tion (actu

Tuning in to the Voices: A Multisite fMRI Study of Auditory Hallucinations

Oxford University Press
Publication Date
  • Design
  • Medicine
  • Musicology
  • Physics

Introduction: Auditory hallucinations or voices are experienced by 75% of people diagnosed with schizophrenia. We presumed that auditory cortex of schizophrenia patients who experience hallucinations is tonically “tuned” to internal auditory channels, at the cost of processing external sounds, both speech and nonspeech. Accordingly, we predicted that patients who hallucinate would show less auditory cortical activation to external acoustic stimuli than patients who did not. Methods: At 9 Functional Imaging Biomedical Informatics Research Network (FBIRN) sites, whole-brain images from 106 patients and 111 healthy comparison subjects were collected while subjects performed an auditory target detection task. Data were processed with the FBIRN processing stream. A region of interest analysis extracted activation values from primary (BA41) and secondary auditory cortex (BA42), auditory association cortex (BA22), and middle temporal gyrus (BA21). Patients were sorted into hallucinators (n = 66) and nonhallucinators (n = 40) based on symptom ratings done during the previous week. Results: Hallucinators had less activation to probe tones in left primary auditory cortex (BA41) than nonhallucinators. This effect was not seen on the right. Discussion: Although “voices” are the anticipated sensory experience, it appears that even primary auditory cortex is “turned on” and “tuned in” to process internal acoustic information at the cost of processing external sounds. Although this study was not designed to probe cortical competition for auditory resources, we were able to take advantage of the data and find significant effects, perhaps because of the power afforded by such a large sample.

Selecting ecological indicators to compare maintenance costs related to the compensation of damaged ecosystem services

The aim of this paper is to compare different maintenance costs of ecosystem service arising from a hypothetical case of environmental damage in order to help to understand how the different ecosystem services are considered in decision making processes. Compensatory measures are aimed precisely at maintaining the level of supply of ecosystem services. According to the literature, compensatory measures like restoration are usually applied to specific ecosystem services. We used the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MEA) categories of ecosystem service. For each MEA category, several ecological indicators are selected, and the cost of the compensatory measures required to fulfill the goal of no net loss is assessed using the Habitat Equivalency Analysis (HEA). The results of this analysis highlight differences between compensatory measures and their associated costs depending on the category of ecosystem services targeted. Maintenance costs are high for regulating services, low for provisioning services, and more difficult to determine for cultural services (high or low depending on the indicator selected). We discuss the implications of this result, noting that it is more rational for project developers to focus their attention on provisioning services if the legal regulation of compensation is lax or if indicators relative to cultural and regulating services are not precise enough.

Formulating national design policies in the United States: recycling the “Emperor’s New Clothes”?

  • V230 American History
  • L900 Cultural Studies
  • V000 Historical And Philosophical Studies
  • W000 Creative Arts And Design

  • Education
  • History

This article was a response to the publication on 5 January 2009 of the American Design Communities’ Redesigning America’s Future: 10 Design Policy Proposals for the United States of America’s Economic Competitiveness and Democratic Governance. Analysis is made of the extent to which self-confident, yet historically very familiar, assertions about the capacity of design to engender real change in national and international settings stand up to serious scrutiny. It is argued that such reiteration is more a reflection of an underlying desire to effect transformation than any comprehensive articulation of a series of well-researched arguments that would, in reality, engender significant change. Indeed, if the document’s propositions show little that is new, those designers, design historians and others with a longitudinal perspective of design activity and policy making may see these ‘Design Policy Proposals’ as reminiscent of the ‘Emperor’s new clothes’ or, if viewed more positively, their recycled equivalents.

 The fact that the title ‘American Design Council’, a trademark owned by the AIGA (until 2006 the American Institute of Graphic Arts), was envisaged as ‘a unified body representing all U.S. design bodies to be ‘revitalized as a collective voice for the design community’ was perhaps one of the reasons why the American Design Communities’ traditional, conservative and innocuous proposals were largely framed in twentieth century thinking. As such they emphasized the priorities of the design profession rather than those of society as a whole. In fact, at the original National Design Policy Summit in Washington DC on 11-12th November 2008, the Ten Principles of Design’s Necessity used to frame discussions were 35 years old, echoing down the decades from the First Federal Design Assembly of 1973. They reappeared in the 5 January 2009; report on Redesigning America’s Future and again in the more action-based Report of the U.S. National Design Policy Summit of 19 January. Albeit with greater acknowledgment of the significance of the environment and citizen-centred design, both 2009 documents lacked the bite or authority of those of many external international design organizations that were more fully engaged with the needs of the new millennium. The U.S. Summit’s key participants responsible for drafting the policy proposals amounted to seven representatives from design professional organizations, four representatives of design and design education accreditation bodies and four representatives drawn from US federal agencies, a questionable cross-section for devising an attractive or effective design policy reflecting the aspirations of American society as a whole. Although some acknowledgement of the work of other design promotion organizations around the world was acknowledged in the documentation for the November 2008 Washington DC Design Summit, there was little obvious influence in the ensuing Design Policy Proposals, other than a commitment to commission the equivalent of the British Cox Review of Creativity in Business (2005), published by the Design Council. This is carefully analyzed in this article, both in the context of emergent policies for the cultural and creative industries in Britain in the previous decade and also the suggestion that a number of Cox’s findings were, in a number of respects, outdated by the time of their publication. Indeed, this article makes extensive references in tabular form to the exponential increase of state-sponsored design promotional organizations outside the USA over the past 60 years in general, and over the last decade in particular.

Much is also done in the article to set these somewhat insular US Federal design initiatives within the context of a global agenda, such as that pursued by the International Council of Societies of Industrial Design (ICSID) and the International Council of Societies of Industrial Design (ICOGRADA), which had established the International Design Alliance (IDA) in 2003.

Pilot Safety Evaluation of Varenicline for the Treatment of Methamphetamine Dependence.

Author information

  • 1Department of Psychiatry & Biobehavioral Sciences, University of California Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA.

Despite the worldwide extent of methamphetamine dependence, no medication has been shown to effectively treat afflicted individuals. One relatively unexplored approach is modulation of cholinergic system function. Animal research suggests that enhancement of central cholinergic activity, possibly at nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), can reduce methamphetamine-related behaviors. Further, preliminary findings indicate that rivastigmine, a cholinesterase inhibitor, may reduce craving for methamphetamine after administration of the drug in human subjects. We therefore performed a double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover pilot study of the safety and tolerability of varenicline in eight methamphetamine-dependent research subjects. Varenicline is used clinically to aid smoking cessation, and acts as a partial agonist at α4β2 nAChRs with full agonist properties at α7 nAChRs. Oral varenicline dose was titrated over 1 week to reach 1 mg bid, and then was co-administered with 30 mg methamphetamine, delivered in ten intravenous infusions of 3 mg each. Varenicline was found to be safe in combination with IV methamphetamine, producing no cardiac rhythm disturbances or alterations in vital sign parameters. No adverse neuropsychiatric sequelae were detected either during varenicline titration or following administration of methamphetamine. The results suggest that varenicline warrants further investigation as a potential treatment for methamphetamine dependence.

Depression in young people: initial presentation and clinical course.

Author information

  • 1Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, University of Washington, Seattle.

This project was designed to provide prospective data on the clinical presentation and longitudinal course of depression in children and adolescents.

Children and their parent(s) completed a structured diagnostic interview (Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School Age Children) at intake, and then yearly for 3 years. Collateral data were collected on school, social, and family functioning.

Mean length of initial depressive episode was 35.6 weeks, SD of 26 weeks. Of the 65 depressed youths who completed the 3-year follow-up, 35 (54%) disclosed another episode of depression. Demographic, family-environment, and diagnostic variables were explored as predictors of characteristics of initial episode, recurrence of depression, and psychosocial competence at follow-up. Female gender and presence of a coexisting anxiety disorder were significantly related to severity of initial depression. Family environment was the only predictor significantly related to overall psychosocial competence over 3 years.

The findings confirm depression in youth as a valid clinical phenomenon, with substantial risk of recurrence. Increased levels of stress in the family environment were associated with poorer overall outcomes.

While North Carolina’s economy has undergone considerable change in recent years, it did relatively well in 2005 compared to other states, says N.C. State University's Mike Walden.

"We actually did rather well, which I think may be surprising to many people," says Dr. Walden, a professor and extension economist with the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. "If we look at one of the broadest measures of economic performance, the growth in personal income in three quarters of 2005 (We don’t yet have the data for the fourth quarter, so we can only look at three quarters.) First of all, we had positive income growth in North Carolina in those three quarters and secondly in two of those three quarters income growth in North Carolina actually exceeded income growth in the nation.

"So I think this is very good news especially considering the fact that our North Carolina economy, as many people know, is continuing to transform -- shrinkage of our traditional manufacturing, growth in other areas," he says.

"So we really seem to be staying on track and in fact doing better on average than the nation."

  • FAQ: What linker type and length would you recommend?

    In general, we recommend keeping the linker as short as possible to minimize chances for non-specific protease cleavage of overly long, unstructured peptides. A linker of approximately 10 amino acids or less is sufficient for SNAP-tag, preferably not much longer. It should also be possible to have no amino acids between the SNAP-tag and its fusion partner.

Microsoft Unveils New Version Of IPTV Platform

Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) unveiled the latest version of its Internet television software platform, which it promises will offer features that will set the telecommunications companies apart from the cable providers. The Redmond, Wash., software titan is the key vendor to the highest- profile Internet protocol television, or IPTV, deployment in the nation: AT&T Inc.'s (T) U-verse service. But the rollout has met with frequent hiccups, and Microsoft has largely been blamed for the problems.

Microsoft is changing the name of the platform to Microsoft Mediaroom from Microsoft TV IPTV Edition. It's the third version of the software platform. With the latest edition, the company believes its problems are behind it. "It's all brand-new technology," said Microsoft spokesman Jim Brady. "All that fine-tuning is behind us. Now the platform will really start to flex its muscles and show its capabilities." Microsoft unveiled the new version of the platform Monday at the NXTcomm telecom industry trade show.

Title: Turned PVS-14 into a night vision scope!
The PVS-14 Day/Night adapter is an excellent piece of kit. In about 5 minutes I turned my Leupold Mark 4 into a night scope. A push of the locking button swings and locks the PVS-14 out to the side of my Leupold scope. This allows you to go between day and night shooting with the push of a button. The only disadvantage is this configuration puts your eye back about 4.5 inches. I cheated forward with my Mark 4 about 2 inches and have got comfortable with both shooting positions. One caution is it not recommended to attach the PVS-14 to larger caliber weapons as it is only designed to handle .223 and up to 6.8 recoil. This accessory takes an already extremely versatile night vision monocular and turns it into a full blown night scope with magnification. Five stars!

Game Boy micro - Charging the Battery

Important Note:
We highly recommend you review the following precautions before you set up and operate your Nintendo system:

Please Read Before Charging:

  • Do not remove the battery from the Game Boy micro unless it needs to be replaced.
  • Do not use any battery other than the Game Boy micro rechargeable battery pack.
  • When recharging the battery, use ONLY the included AC Adapter, Model No. OXY-002.
  • When disposing of the battery, follow appropriate local guidelines and regulations. For information on battery disposal contact your local solid waste authority.
  • If liquid comes into contact with the battery, do not reuse it. Call Nintendo Customer Service at 1-800-255-3700 for further instructions on battery replacement and possible service to your Game Boy micro.

To Charge the Battery:
  1. Insert the AC Adapter's DC Connecter Plug into External Extension Connector on the top of the Game Boy micro. Note: Be sure the DC Connector Plug is facing in the correct direction before inserting into the connector to avoid damaging either the plug or connector. (The Nintendo logo should face up.)

  3. Swing the prongs out of the AC Adapter and insert into a standard 120-volt AC wall outlet.

  4. The START and SELECT Power indicator LEDs will light blue until the battery is fully charged.

  5. When fully charged, gently remove the AC Adapter from the wall outlet by grabbing the plug itself (not the cord). Fold the prongs back into the housing and remove the DC Connector Plug from the External Extension Connector.

State Submerged Resources > South Carolina

South Carolina

The coastline of South Carolina extends 187 miles along the Atlantic Ocean. Over 50 rivers flow through South Carolina, three major rivers being the Edisto River, Santee River and Savannah River. Major lakes include Hartwell Lake, Lake Marion, Lake Moultrie, and Lake Murray. About 1,896 square miles of South Carolina are covered by water.

What sites are underwater?

Many of South Carolina's earliest coastal and inland settlements and towns are located near harbors and along rivers. As one of the original 13 colonies to revolt against the British, sites of military action from the Revolutionary War can be found in the state including submerged sites like the Strawberry shipwreck featured in the Cooper River Underwater Heritage Trail.

As one of the Confederate states, the battle of Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor marked the beginning of the Civil War. Two well-known shipwrecks found in Charleston Harbor are the Confederate submarine H.L. Hunley and the USS Housatonic, which was the first ship to be sunk in battle by a submarine. The H.L. Hunley was recovered intact in a cooperative venture by the Naval History and Heritage Command, the South Carolina Institute for Archaeology and Anthropology, and others. Once conserved, it will be placed on permanent exhibition in South Carolina.

Other sites found underwater include sunken sailing ships from colonial times, 19th and 20th century barges, steam tugboats, wharves, and ferry landings. A few of these sites are featured in the state's underwater trails on the Ashley and Cooper rivers. Another example is the Brown's Ferry Vessel, a schooner-rigged, flat-bottomed inland transport vessel thought to have wrecked in the first half of the 18th century in the Black River near Georgetown. This vessel was carrying a cargo of nearly 12,000 bricks. The site was excavated, documented, and raised by the State, and the conserved vessel and artifacts are on permanent exhibition in the Rice Museum in Georgetown.

Who takes care of South Carolina's underwater archeological sites?

South Carolina is one of only a handful of states that employs a State Underwater Archeologist. Working out of the South Carolina Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology, the State Underwater Archeologist oversees and implements the State Underwater Antiquities Act; maintains a research database of state underwater archeology sites; and conducts and oversees underwater archeological studies determined to be in the best interests of the State. The State Underwater Archeologist works closely with the State Historic Preservation Officer to ensure that all underwater archeological research and resulting reports carried on in State waters by any individual, organization, or other entity is adequate and meets professional standards.

What permits do I need to study shipwrecks?

The South Carolina Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology issues three types of licenses related to submerged cultural resources:

Hobby Diver Licenses:
A Hobby Diver License allows temporary, intermittent, recreational, small scale, noncommercial search of submerged archeological resources and recovery of a limited number of artifacts. A maximum of 10 artifacts per day may be collected from a site, and only artifacts that are recoverable by hand may be collected, meaning the artifacts must be exposed on bottom sediments and not require excavation or tools of any kind to recover and bring to the surface. No ship timbers, fittings, fastenings, or machinery may be moved or removed from the site.

All Hobby License divers must file a quarterly report of activity including certain information about any artifacts collected. Artifacts collected by a licensed hobby diver and reported on the quarterly report to the Institute may be retained by the collector after the state has studied and evaluated them.

Intensive Survey Licenses:
An Intensive Survey License allows intensive survey for the purpose of delineating the boundaries of a specific location which may contain submerged archeological resources.
Data Recovery Licenses:
A Data Recovery License allows data recovery on submerged archeological resources. Applicants for a Data Recovery License must submit positive results of work conducted under an Intensive Survey License for the same location, and documentary archival evidence, electronic remote sensing data, and/or artifactual data that demonstrates the presence of submerged archeological resources.

No license is required to inspect, study, explore, photograph, measure, record, conduct a reconnaissance survey, use magnetic or acoustic detection devices, or otherwise use and enjoy a submerged archeological resources if the activity does not involve excavation, destruction, substantive injury, or disturbance.

Are there any underwater parks in South Carolina?

The state has established maritime heritage trails for the enjoyment of both divers and non-divers. The two-mile long Cooper River Underwater Heritage Trail highlights six shipwrecks, ferry landings, and docks from as early as 1705.

The six-mile long Ashley River Paddling Heritage Trail highlights eight shipwrecks and wharves ranging from colonial times to the 19th century.

What laws concern underwater archeology in South Carolina?

Relevant state laws include the South Carolina Underwater Antiquities Act of 1991 codified in Title 54, Chapter 7, Section 610, et seq., of the South Carolina Code of Laws and laws about the South Carolina Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology codified in Title 60, Chapter 13, Section 210, et seq. These laws emphasize that submerged archeological sites are a nonrenewable and finite resource, and that their conservation and preservation is of the highest priority to the state.

The Silk Beaded Pearls Shantung is a gorgeous premium quality fabric decorated with faux pearl beads. Shantung is a sturdy, wrinkle-resistant, medium weight fabric with a unique textured surface and a beautiful sheen. It is often used in eveningwear and bridal/wedding, but can also be used for suits and high end sportswear and home decor. Shantung is also known as "raw silk" or "spun wild silk"; it is similar to Dupioni silk, but Shantung a lighter weight and is made from woven raw silk fibers that give it a slightly striated texture. Shantung creates a beautiful effect for volume - it lends itself wonderfully to shirring, tucks and pleats. The silk fabric has a lightly pebbled surface and comes in a variety of neutral colors. Silk shantung is crisp and lustrous and contrasts elegantly with lighter-weight silks. Originating in the Shantung province in China, this fabric is extremely versatile making it perfect for dresses, suits, jackets and saris.

Bumpy texture due to beading

Some shine reflected off beading

Tips and Tricks:

  • This fabric is very forgiving and easy to sew, but tends to ravel at raw edges – be sure to finish all seams and hems!
  • Use with nap cutting layout (i.e. all pattern pieces laid out in the same lengthwise direction) so all pattern pieces reflect light the same way and shading is prevented.
  • Use standard stitch size and a sharp, universal (or quilting) needle when machine sewing
  • Shantung is wrinkle resistant, but since it is a natural fiber this means it also does not hold a sharp crease well
  • Great for tailored and structured garments
  • Texture can feel rough on the skin, so it’s best to line garments made in this fabric.
  • Even when fully lining the garment, finish seam allowances to prevent fraying
  • The fabric is somewhat stiff in its original state – you can wash on gentle cycle with cold water and hang straight to dry for softer drape. We recommend you test a small piece of yardage first, though.
  • Shantung is very versatile. Depending on the garment, some of the finishes you can use are: French seams, overlock (serger), binding, rolled hem, hand-stitched or top-stitched hem.

Dry clean for best results.

From the Desk of Senator Jack M. Martins

Say No! to Attica University

If you’re a Seinfeld fan like me, you’ll probably remember the episode “Bizarro Jerry,” in which the gang’s world seems strangely inversed. The writers were apparently inspired by the Bizarro World found in the old D.C. comic books where good and sensible things were shunned and stupidity and recklessness were embraced.

Sometimes, I think I work Bizarro Albany, especially after I hear plans like Governor Cuomo’s recent proposal to give convicted felons free college educations on our taxpayer dime. You read that correctly. Our Governor has actually proposed providing prison inmates with free Associates and Bachelors degrees and he’s serious. His public relations machine is already out there making the argument.

They claim it’s an effort to reduce recidivism, the rate at which released inmates return to prison and base it on one very small, privately funded inmate college program that produced 250 graduates. (There are more than 55,000 inmates in New York.) Their recidivism rate was about 4% compared to the state-wide average 41%. But most agree that the program results were inherently flawed as those inmates were already focused on improving themselves and were the least likely to return to prison.

In any case, we all understand the value of inmate rehabilitation and as I’ve written time and again, society benefits when you educate anyone. But let’s get real. It may be you reading this column, or it may be a friend or neighbor but we all know someone being crushed by sacrifice to send their kids to college. They’re refinancing their homes, borrowing against pensions, working countless hours of overtime and in some cases, even two or three jobs. And it’s still not enough. Our children are graduating and starting their lives with astonishing debt, the total surpassing $1 trillion nationally. That’s more than all our credit card debt combined and two million of these college graduates are unemployed!

But what are we to do? Tuition at private universities jumped 474% percent from 1970 to 1990. In 1980, it commanded about 26% of the median family income while in 2004, it more than doubled to 56%. And in the face of this genuine national dilemma, rather than advance some sort of relief for the thousands of hard-working New Yorkers that are doing the right thing but barely making it, Governor Cuomo wants to reward a “prison perk” to those who have committed crimes? It’s a smack in our faces.

Why not give families who are putting their children through college a reasonable tax credit? Or at least extend it to those working full-time, like single moms, to put themselves through school. Or even minimally lower the cost our state university. We could restore funding that would extend the state Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) to graduate students or offer low-cost, state-backed loans. I can think of countless better way to invest in higher education, but in all of them the taxpayer would take priority. Do you remember George Bailey in It’s a Wonderful Life arguing with Mr. Potter on behalf of the people who “do most of the working and paying and living and dying in this community?” Well, is it too much to ask that someone help our kids with what is essentially our money? I don’t think so.

Supporters of the proposal claim that the “estimated” expenditure of $5,000 per inmate will eventually save some of $60,000 spent per year on each felon. I suggest their time would be better spent asking why New York prisons cost as much as an Ivy-League education and then looking for savings within that system. Our first responsibility is to be good stewards of public monies, not use it to gain votes via special interests.

And that’s exactly what this is. It is not coincidence that the Governor’s proposal dovetails with a recent national effort to change how convicted felons regain their right to vote. Traditionally, government demands a waiting period with the understanding that if you aren’t willing to follow the law yourself, then you should hardly have the right to shape it for everyone else. This common sense social contract is now being assailed by partisan groups trying lure the loyalty of a potential new voting bloc.

It’s pitiful. The discussion should be about common sense priorities. New York has a long and venerable tradition of taking care of our most vulnerable but this is simply ill-conceived. Frankly, if they wanted to make a real difference they’d focus on getting inner city schools on track so as to give real opportunities and avoid prison all together.

My eldest daughter will be heading off to college soon and with three more little girls right behind her, my wife and I are left breathless by the costs of higher education. Like you, we’ll make sacrifices and we’ll find a way. Hopefully none of us will be educating felons at the expense of our own children.
