The Relentless School Nurse: The Day I Stopped Wearing Scrubs

cropped-logo-clip.pngMy school was called a Family School, PK – 8th grade with a census of 900 students and me, the solo school nurse.  When asked to describe my day, I usually said it was a “chaotic ballet” with a mind-numbing number of students, staff, and parents spinning in and out of the health office.  It was fast-paced with moments of quiet before the storm that was a three-hour lunch period to accommodate all of the students.  If I made it through to 1:30 (when the final lunch ended) without calling 911, that was a good day.

Our school is a public school, but one of the first in the city to adopt wearing uniforms.  At the time, there was only one other school that chose this policy.  To support the students, the staff decided to also wear uniform colors, blue and white.  That made it quite easy for me, as a school nurse, I wore blue scrubs and a white lab coat.  What I did not take into consideration was who else at school wore blue scrubs and the confusion that it could potentially cause.

My office was often very hot and the air conditioner unit was on life support.  The extra layer of my white lab coat made it too uncomfortable to keep on during the hottest days in my office.  So, most days I wore my blue scrubs and hung up my lab coat. What I did not anticipate was that wearing scrubs could be confusing to students and maybe even to staff or visitors.

One very hot day I was walking through the lunchroom checking on some students when one student came up to me with a very quizzical expression.  He said, “Mrs. Cogan, are you the lunch lady and the school nurse?” I looked around and for the first time, I noticed that all of the lunch aides were also wearing blue scrubs. I realized that my decision to wear scrubs could create role confusion. That was the last day that I wore scrubs to school.

The very next day, I wore business casual clothes, no more scrubs for me.  What was so interesting is that I began to notice that I was treated with more respect when I was out of scrubs. I began to see that a more professional dress presence changed the way I was perceived.  I know many school nurses that do wear scrubs and have strong feelings about the necessity to do so and I respect their decision.  This was my experience and I believe there is room for all of our personal choices and beliefs on the matter of professional dress as a school nurse.  Food for thought and a space for discussion is the purpose of this post. Please feel to comment and share!

Special thank you to Dr. Martha Dewey Bergren for reminding me of this story.

The Relentless School Nurse: When a Student Grows Up

Screen Shot 2018-12-22 at 5.27.24 PM

I teach at Rutgers University in Camden, NJ where I am faculty in the School Nurse Certificate Program. One of the courses I teach is a 5-day intensive class about Health Education.  During the school year, I am also a full-time School Nurse in Camden and have been for 18 school years.  One of my most cherished outcomes of being a school nurse is running into students and families years later.

Last summer, during my class, I was having technical difficulties and called the Rutgers IT department for assistance.  They are a very responsive group and sent over someone to troubleshoot the problem.  I was teaching my class when in walked a young man, dressed in his Rutgers gear, ready to help.  He had a quizzical look on his face, a sheepish grin actually.  I asked him if he was ok, and he said, “I know you, you were my School Nurse”.  I quickly checked out his name tag and realized that yes, he had been my student for many years, but I had not seen him since he grew into adulthood.

We spontaneously hugged as I teared up in front of the entire class, and yelled out, “Of course, look at you, you are a man and I didn’t even recognize you.”  I asked him to share what he remembered about his time in my Health Office.  He turned to the class and said, “she was always nice to me and listened and never kicked me out.”  He went on to give advice to my students about being a School Nurse and how to treat students who to come to their offices. I was so proud of him and amazed at the depth of what he shared.  We just never know our impact!

This work we do is all about relationships! It was not lost on me that this student was now in a position to assist me as I had assisted him all those years ago.  I marveled at the timing of this young man being sent to respond to my request for help exactly when I had a room full of School Nurse Certificate students.  It was one of those serendipitous moments when the stars aligned perfectly for the sake of experiential learning.  Only this moment was spontaneous, unscripted and real.  I know my students in the class learned the true impact of School Nursing in that one encounter than the hours of lectures or scenarios recreated during our week-long intensive.

Our students grow up and we are privileged to be an integral part of that growth, even if we never know the outcome.  Our work is important, which is why we must be Relentless School Nurses.

  1. Those are some of the defining moments in life for people in the helping professions. Thanks for sharing the wonderful, serendipitous moment.
    Lovely, Mom

Sankyo Home (Thailand) has joined with Japanese firm, Keihan Real Estate, to develop a luxury condominium – The FINE Bangkok in the Thonglor-Ekamai area – with a project value of more than Bt1.7 billion. The project boasts luxury design in modern Japanese style to” match the new generation’s demand” and is scheduled for pre-sales launch on June 2-3.

Sudthipong Chailanggar, managing director of Sankyo Home (Thailand), said the company has joined with Keihan Real Estate, a subsidiary of Keihan Holdings, a large railway operator in Kansai, Japan (founded in 1910), to develop the condominium as the first joint venture (JV) project in Thailand.

“In addition to real estate development in Japan, we hope to build a new market and business opportunity. We have seen market opportunities in growing south-east Asian countries. When considering various factors in Thailand including cultural similarities, clarity of regulations related to investment, economic scale and consumer’s purchasing power, Thailand is the region’s most outstanding with these factors as guaranteed by a large number of Japanese firms that have invested in Thailand. We aim to make Bangkok the region’s hub for our real estate development business expansion,”  Sudthipong said.

Sankyo Home (Japan) and Keihan Real Estate have been involved in JVs in the development of five projects in Japan under the brand, “The FINE”. An example is the 45-storey luxury condominium The FINE Tower – Umeda Toyosaki in the heart of Osaka which has won the Good Design Award and is sold out.

With both companies’ rich experience in residential development covering all segments and prices together with experiences in co-development of JV condominium projects which were acceptable to the Japanese, the company hopes the co-development of The FINE Bangkok will be an opportunity to deliver new quality and a standard of city living similar to Japan.

The FINE Bangkok Thonglor-Ekamai is a 31-storey tower comprising 220 units on Ekamai Soi 12. It is developed with a concept of “Luxury Modern Japanese”— simple, warm, yet luxurious design. It comprises one-to two-bedroom units and a penthouse sized from 34.5 to 92 sq m and prices start at Bt5.5m. It features an innovative design for maximum use of space by applying cutting-edge technologies like an automatic parking system which maximises car parking space by up to 70% for residents living in the city who still use a private car, in addition to Skytrain and a smart home service appliance and application for online purchase and transaction via smart phone and device which are installed in every unit.

In the project, spaces are divided proportionately in four zones.

  • Fine Sky is a roof lounge enjoying a 360-degree view of the city. It includes fitness, golf club, sky seat, karaoke room, kids room and wine lounge.
  • Fine Retreat is a rest area for relaxing in the sun during the day or taking a city view at night. It comprises a large swimming pool, pool bar, sauna room, hot pool and the edge view point. Every single part is designed to offer views of Bangkok’s skyline.
  • Fine Lounge is set to be a co-working space with a private, yet spacious area for a large group. The project is decorated with elegant materials, mixed with function, surface and design, building a sense of modern luxury.
  • Fine Greenery are nature zones allowing your life to be surrounded by nature at the very step. There are three gardens – spring garden, 23rd floor garden, and 27th floor garden.

Yoshihisa Doumoto, chief executive officer of Keihan Real Estate said the company is a subsidiary of Keihan Holdings which has four business groups which are involved in transportation, real estate, retail and leisure & service.

“We have strong experience in various businesses including real estate development around Japan and are really pleased to have a first overseas joint venture project development in Thailand with Sankyo Home (Thailand). Thailand is a country that has the greatest economic growth in the ASEAN region. We hope to bring our knowhow, delivering the sense of living in a quality and neat condominium as we have achieved in Japan,” Yoshihisa said.

The company will launch pre-sales of The FINE Bangkok on June 2-3, targeting mainly generations aged between 30 to 40 who prefer stylish luxury and high-ranking executives who have a vision for housing and a long-term investment. It expects to have more than 60% sold from the pre-sales launch period with Plus Property Co., Ltd., as the sales and marketing agent.

Human fetal growth restriction: A cardiovascular journey through to adolescence

A. Sehgal, Michael R Skilton, F. Crispi

Research output: Contribution to journalReview ArticleResearchpeer-review

21 Citations (Scopus)

Intrauterine growth restriction has been noted to adversely impact morbidity and mortality in the neonatal period as well as cardiovascular well-being in adolescence and adulthood. Recent data based on a wide range of ultrasound parameters during fetal and neonatal life has noted early and persistent involvement of the cardiovascular system. Some of these measures are predictive of long-term morbidities. Assessment of vascular mechanics is a new and novel concept in this population, and opens up avenues for diagnosis, monitoring and evaluation of the likely effectiveness of interventions. Prevention of these adverse vascular and cardiac outcomes secondary to fetal growth restriction may be feasible and of clinical relevance. This review focuses on growth restriction in humans with respect to cardiovascular remodeling and dysfunction during fetal life, persistence of functional cardiac impairment during early childhood and adoles cence, and possible preventive strategies.

Topix Expands Archives, Adds Search Options

When I want to search the Internet for news in a local area, I do one of two things:

One: Go to Google News and use their “location” syntax that allows me to narrow my search to a US state (use a postal code, for example location:ny ) or to a country (use the country name, for example location:ireland). This narrows my results to resources published in the specified state/country.

If I just want to find stories about a certain area, but not necessarily written/published within that area, I go to Topix ( ) and search their archives by city and zip code. As I noted in July, their search isn’t always perfect, but it does quickly generate a large amount of local news (with the occasional goofiness.)

Topix had the disadvantage that many news search engines do; a database limited to only recent news stories (in Topix’ case 30 days.) However Topix has expanded their search index to a years’ worth of stories (very nice!) Further, Topix is now allowing case-sensitive search so you can actually search on, say, IT.

For those of you into visual search results, check out the new histogram at the top of the search results. When you run a search you’ll get a “Loading Image” and then you’ll get a graph with blue bars showing, over the course of a year, the number of times the query for which you’re searching has showed up in Topix’ indexed news. Then if you want to see an exact date’s news stories containing your query, click on a blue bar. Very elegant. Some of the histograms are weird looking. Try search for Taylor Hicks to see one huge spike or Carolina Hurricanes to see a series of spikes.

Of course Topix covers several more categories of news besides local and area-based, for an insanely-huge list of all their topics, visit . And don’t forget, kids — every topic has an RSS feed! Look for the orange button at the bottom of the page.

Model-based approach to the detection and classification of mines in sidescan sonar

Scott Reed, Yvan Petillot, Judith Bell

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

23 Citations (Scopus)

This paper presents a model-based approach to mine detection and classification by use of sidescan sonar. Advances in autonomous underwater vehicle technology have increased the interest in automatic target recognition systems in an effort to automate a process that is currently carried out by a human operator. Current automated systems generally require training and thus produce poor results when the test data set is different from the training set. This has led to research into unsupervised systems, which are able to cope with the large variability in conditions and terrains seen in sidescan imagery. The system presented in this paper first detects possible minelike objects using a Markov random field model, which operates well on noisy images, such as sidescan, and allows a priori information to be included through the use of priors. The highlight and shadow regions of the object are then extracted with a cooperating statistical snake, which assumes these regions are statistically separate from the background. Finally, a classification decision is made using Dempster-Shafer theory, where the extracted features are compared with synthetic realizations generated with a sidescan sonar simulator model. Results for the entire process are shown on real sidescan sonar data. Similarities between the sidescan sonar and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging processes ensure that the approach outlined here could be made applied to SAR image analysis. © 2004 Optical Society of America.

Multi-functional distributed generation control scheme for improving the grid power quality

Zunaib Ali, Nicholas Christofides, Lenos Hadjidemetriou, Elias Kyriakides

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

16 Citations (Scopus)

Renewable sources are expected to be a key element of future power systems. With many challenges ahead, thinking out of the box is necessary in order to equip the power system with additional advanced functionalities and capabilities to combat the anticipated challenges. The associated equipment of distributed generation can be seen as a grid asset upgrade because of the increased number of elements connected to the grid, such as grid side converters (GSC) of photovoltaics and battery storage systems. It therefore makes sense to think of ways to diversify the role of distributed renewables in a way that benefits the grid, consumers, and prosumers in terms of power quality. The work proposes an advanced, multi-function GSC control technique for improving the distribution grid power quality by enabling the injection of asymmetric, DC and harmonic currents in case it is needed. Injecting for example such currents locally through the GSC of a residential photovoltaic system can compensate undesired characteristics of the prosumer loads in order to allow the flow of symmetric and high quality currents between the prosumer and the distribution grid. Experiments and simulation results are presented to validate the performance of proposed control technique.

Temperature jumps in free metal particle combustion

E. L. Dreizin, A. V. Suslov, M. A. Trunov

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

15 Scopus citations

The problem of multistage metal particles combustion has been discussed in the present paper. Experimental research on metal particles burning has been undertaken on the basis of a new means of their formation and ignition by a pulse discharge. The experimental method has resulted in obtaining monodisperse metal particles made of different metals (Cu, Mo, Al, Fe, W) with controlled initial temperatures and velocities in various media. We have observed flashes and temperature jumps during the above-mentioned metal particle burning in cool air. We observed the same phenomena also with particles which were quickly introduced into inert gas after a certain period of their combustion in the air. While studying the inner structure of Cu and Mo particles we found dissolved oxygen within the particles. The importance of the oxygen diffusive process in the high-temperature metal droplets in the cool active ambient gas for the following flashes and sudden temperature changes has been shown. A model, for processes with a burning copper droplet has been proposed.

U.S. Poverty Weekly Update April 14, 2015

April 14, 2015

U.S. Poverty Campaigns

Weekly Update | April 14, 2015

“We urge lawmakers across the nation to pause and look poverty in the eye.”

April 10 editorial in The Stamford Advocate, generated by RESULTS CT Free Agents Bill Baker and Lucinda Winslow (editorial was printed in four separate papers)

“SNAP is vital to family survival… The problem? Congress just took steps toward huge cuts in SNAP over the next ten years and our U.S. Rep. Bill Shuster voted for it.”

– RESULTS South Central PA volunteer Bruce Kessler in an April 13 letter to the editor in Chambersburg Public Opinion

In This Week’s Update:

Quick Action: Use the Media to Help Protect SNAP

Take Action!

Got Two Minutes? Send in Your SNAP Letter to the Editor TODAY (April Action)

As Congress heads back to DC this week to finalize the 2016 budget, send them a strong message that any budget that puts SNAP cuts on the “fast track” is unacceptable. RESULTS volunteers have been doing an excellent job at using the media to push members of Congress to protect SNAP. In the last week, you’ve had 14 media pieces about SNAP published! That kind of coverage makes a difference. Keep it up and do all you can to protect hungry families!

TAKE ACTION: Take two minutes to send a letter to the editor telling your members of Congress by name to protect SNAP in the 2016 budget. Use our SNAP LTE alert to send your letter today. If you want to write your own letter, and use the April Action for talking points and background information. If you are looking to make a bigger impact, use our SNAP media brief to urge your local paper to write an editorial about protecting SNAP. Find media outlets to send your letter using our Media Guide. If you have questions or need help with letters, op-eds, or editorials, please contact Jos Linn ([email protected]) for assistance.

We also encourage you to listen to the recording and review the slides from last Saturday’s April U.S. Poverty National Meeting; guest speaker Rebecca Lenn provided some invaluable insights on how to respond to myths about SNAP in the media.

Got Ten Minutes? Invite Young People to Apply for REAL Change

While the immediate focus at RESULTS is on protecting nutrition programs and expanding economic mobility in America, we are also looking ahead at engaging the next generation of RESULTS activists. We have a fantastic network of volunteers, some of whom have been with RESULTS for decades. But we know that in order to survive and thrive, RESULTS always needs to be looking for new people, especially young people. Young people bring their unique strength, passion, and intelligence to any endeavor. Imagine what world we could create if the next generation of leaders started out as RESULTS advocates. We have a tool to make that happen.

The RESULTS REAL Change Fellowship is a year-long volunteer program working to train the next generation of anti-poverty advocates. It is a way for 18-28 year olds to get unique experience in lobbying, media advocacy, and organizing. It starts with a trip to the RESULTS International Conference and continues throughout the year, where Fellows put their ongoing training into practice in their community. It can be a wonderful experience for those who participate, just like PaHoua Vang from Minnesota. PaHoua recently wrote on the RESULTS Blog about how RESULTS and the REAL Change Fellowship has taught her the courage to advocate for the things she cares about. We want more people like PaHoua, and Sarah Miller, and Reba Carethers, and David Costello, and other Fellows who have completed the program. We are now accepting applications for the 2015-26 class and we need your help. If you know someone 18-28 years old who would make a great advocate, urge them to apply today. The deadline to apply is April 25.

TAKE ACTION: Think you might know someone who wants to be a part of our REAL Change Fellowship? Take ten minutes and tell them to apply fast! We have already accepted over 50 REAL changers and applications are pouring in. REAL Changers work with RESULTS an average of six hours per week and attend webinar trainings every two weeks. They spend the year learning how to lobby, organize and work with local media. The application deadline is April 25, so please share with your local group and local contacts now. To learn more check out www.results.org/realchange.

April National Meeting Provides Helpful Resources in Your Media Advocacy

Last weekend’s U.S. Poverty National Meeting provided a wealth of information for our current efforts to protect SNAP. Rebecca Lenn, Director of Outreach for Media Matters, did a fabulous presentation on how to combat myths about SNAP in the media. For example, she taught us to “minimize the myth, familiarize the fact.” Too often, when we hear something negative about SNAP, our response is to repeat it and then try to negate it (“SNAP does not have a high fraud rate!”). While admirable, Rebecca explained that this simply reinforces the myth in the mind of the reader or listener. Instead, you want to retell it. Here’s an alternative frame Rebecca provided:

Myth: SNAP has a high rate of fraud and abuse.

Retold Fact: SNAP is doing exactly what it is supposed do and what a democracy would ask of it. It is helping people who need help in hard times. Pundits and politicians who make this claim are turning a blind eye to not just the numbers that show that fraud and abuse are rare, but the seniors, children, and working families for whom SNAP is helping.

Advice like this is invaluable and only helps us to better educate lawmakers and the public about the truth. This is only one of the many tips Rebecca provided us during the meeting. The call also included shares from volunteers in Iowa, New Mexico, New Jersey, and Washington State about media successes and face-to-face meetings this month. If you were not on the call or want to review it again, please listen to the recording of the call and download the slides and summary of the call from our National Conference Calls page.

RESULTS greatly appreciates Rebecca and Media Matters for appearing on our call. We look forward to working with them again in the future.

The V-Tech Laser 128 is an Apple II clone. This machine uses a clean-room copy of the Apple II BIOS and was intended to be compatible with Apple software. However, Brøderbund's games stored with the RWTS18 filesystem didn't run on this machine. I understand why it wouldn't run on an emulator, but why doesn't it run on a clone with an original disk?

  • 1
    I found a bit of information here, but it doesn't seem to answer the question.
    – wizzwizz4
    Feb 8 '17 at 21:28
  • Which games don't work? What is your source for that info? Feb 8 '17 at 23:42

I don't know how these rumors get started in the first place.

I have originals of:

  • Laser 128, ROM Version 4.5
  • Laser 128EX, ROM Version 4.5

Brøderbund RW18 games:

  • [m] Airheart
  • [X] Wings of Fury (works)
  • [X] Where in the USA is Carmen San Diego?
  • [X] Where in Europe is Carmen San Diego?
  • [X] Where in the World is Carmen San Diego?

Broderbund non-RW18 games:

  • [no] Choplifter (loads then fails machine check)
  • [X] Drol
  • [?] Gumball (fails to load, shows ROM GR test screen!)
  • [X] Spare Change

I've tagged games:

  • that work with [X],
  • that don't with [ ],
  • that can work with modifications [m],
  • that need investigation with [?].

I verified every game boots and plays either on //e or //c to make sure the disk is good.

I am one of the AppleWin's developers and can provide a definitive answer to end this stupid confusion over the Laser 128 and Roland Gustafsson's RW18 code, hopefully, for once and for all.

W.R.T. to Airheart:

  • It DOES work on my Laser 128.
  • It does NOT work on my Laser 128EX.

Since these two Lasers have the exact same ROM this tells me it is NOT a disk-drive machine incompatibility but sloppy code in Airheart.

As emulator maintainers we come across all sorts of bugs and stupid "hacks" including, but not limited to:

  • using illegal 6502 opcodes -- Lock-N-Chase
  • does a ROM checks -- Airheart, Choplifter, etc.
  • using uninitialized memory such as the RNG RND -- Pooyan (IIRC)

These prevent original disks working on emulators and clones. At the time Mr. Freeze's ROM was a (popular?) ROM mod to make Ctrl-Reset always stop the CPU and enter into the built-in ROM debugger, aka, the Apple 2 System Monitor. Game developers started getting aggressive to prevent people from "ROM dumping" the disk image.

Let's fire up Airheart and see what happens on our Laser 128EX. It prints this message ...

    REQUIRES //C OR 128K //E

... and hangs.

The code in question is @ $0946

    0946:A0 00          LDY #$0
    0948:B9 53 09       LDA $0953,Y
    094B:F0 FE          BEQ $094B       ; Hang on end-of-string
    094D:99 28 06       STA $0628       ; putchar() on Row 13
    0950:C8             INY
    0951:D0 F5          BNE $0948       ; always -- assumes string is < 256 length
    0953:               MSB ON
    0953:               ASC "REQUIRES //C OR 128K //E"
    0954:C5 D1 D5 C9
    0958:D2 C5 D3 A0
    095C:AF AF C3 A0
    0960:CF D2 A0 B1
    0964:B2 B8 CB A0
    0968:AF AF C5
    096B:               DFB 0

How the heck did I know that?

If we were to boot trace this on a //e or //c we could normally do:

Unfortunately, the Laser 128EX P5 PROM for the disk controller is hard-coded to run at address $C600 along with using the firmware expansion at $C800. We need to manually "patch-up" the boot stage 0 firmware code.

Specifically, we need to "page" in the firmware ROM and copy it, then fix up all the calls to $C6xx or $C8xx.

Putting it all together:

Inspecting the boot sector and back-tracing how the PC (Program Counter) ends up at $092F we see this machine check at $08D7:

    08D7:AD 81 C0       LDA $C081       ; Turn off Language Card RAM @ $D000 .. $FFF
    08DA:AD 81 C0       LDA $C081       ; Re-enable ROM bank @ $D000 .. $FFFF
    08DD:AD B3 FB       LDA $FBB3       ; MachineId byte
    08E0:C9 06          CMP #$06        ;
    08E2:D0 4B          BNE $092F       ; Laser 128EX = $06 = pass
    08E4:2C 17 C0       BIT $C017       ; SLOTC3ROM
    08E7:30 46          BMI $092F       ; <- Clone triggers this

In case you are curious you can find a list of the Apple 2 I/O softswitches at Jon Relay's site:

We can "patch" this check to skip the BNE and BMI by changing them to LDA #immediate via:

This 2 byte patch will make the game work on any //e+ or //c clone.

Finally, here is TL:DR; version to play Airheart on the Laser 128EX:

    9F01:A9 A9 8D E7 08 4C 01 08

To answer the original question:

  • There is nothing incompatible with the Laser 128 and Laser 128EX disk drive that stops it from running Apple 2 software. The sole reason is a lazy developer doing pointless machine identification checks to stop it form working.

  • There is a problem with the Laser 128EX way it handles the status of the C3 firmware. I have no idea why V-Tech's engineers changed the way SLOTC3ROM works on the Laser 128EX compared to the original Laser 128.

/Oblg. Paul Harvey's "And now you know the rest of the story."

Since Nick's answer has already been "accepted" I have no problems merging this into his answer as long the entire information is keep tact. He is one of our fellow AppleWin developers. He understands the Apple II disk drive controller far better then me.

  • Thanks for the answer. Keep in mind that accepted answers can and do change; this is more the sort of answer that I would accept. I'll unaccept Nick Westgate's for now (I don't think he'll mind the 0.6% reputation loss) and make a decision after re-reviewing them.

  • So Michael, do the other titles you have (listed) all work without modification? That's interesting info about Airheart. I'm a little surprised as it appears in the Laser compatibility list I linked to in my answer. Cracking skills come in handy even if you don't want to copy it. ; - ) Mar 26 '17 at 3:19
  • @NickWestgate I've updated the status of the Laser 128EX. I'll get around to testing Gumball on the original Laser 128 and post those results later. Mar 26 '17 at 3:59
  • @NickWestgate Looks like Gumball also does not boot on the original Laser 128 as well -- it partially boots then shows a GR test pattern. I'll boot trace this code later and once I have a work-around will update my original answer. Mar 27 '17 at 15:32
  • UGH Boot-tracing Gumball is going to be a real witch ... thankfully I have 4am's Gumball crack docs to follow along ... Mar 29 '17 at 17:30

Update: From my research the Laser 128 series was compatible with Broderbund's 18 sector titles.

A friend (thanks Michael!) has tested Wings of Fury on his Laser 128EX, and I've tested Airheart on an Apple //e with a VTech Universal Disk Controller, both successfully. VTech manufactured the Laser 128 series and the UDC and used similar ASIC chips in all of them to get around Apple's patents.

The techniques used in RW18 were no trickier or more timing sensitive than DOS itself. Disk timing is tight, so any emulation of Woz's sequencer design should either work or fail for pretty much everything. The use of 18 sectors was originally a cost-saving measure for the game producers, then an extra hurdle and headache for pirates simply because it required complete understanding of the software's disk layout and took extra effort to convert into a standard 16 sector format.

Note that Bank Street Writer III, Prince of Persia, and Wings of Fury use an extra level of protection which is more sensitive to timing and the implementation of the sequencer, yet we know that at least two of these work on the Laser series.

The entry for Laser 128 in Wikipedia says: (based on this 1986 source)

Central Point claimed in 1986 that testing had found that only Choplifterꟸ [1982], David's Midnight Magicꟸ [1982], and Serpentineꟸ [1982] did not run on the clone, because of Broderbund's copy protection.

However, I don't think those games are 18 sector. Titles that I know are 18 sector:

  • Airheartꟸ (1986)
  • Bank Street Writer IIIꟸ (1986 - well, the Scholastic version is 18 sector)
  • Prince of Persia (1989)
  • Where in the USA is Carmen San Diego?ꟸ (1986)
  • Wings of Fury (1987)

But this 1988 Laser 128 Series Compatible Software List has most titles above that existed at the time. (The titles present in this list are marked with ꟸ).

Another user compiled list from 1990 mentions ROM version 4.2, and also has Choplifter and Serpentine, so I think that the ROM is what caused any incompatibility, not disk problems.

To seal the deal, in qkumba's 2012 crack write-up for Choplifter he notes:

;perform check of ROM code
;Choplifter does not work on some systems because of this

This was common practice in protection to prevent the use of crackers' modified ROMs.

    same deal for David's Midnight Magic (see hackzapple.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1186) Feb 12 '17 at 1:12
  • Yeah, thanks Peter. Checking main ROM and slots for RAM (Wildcards etc) was pretty common. Feb 12 '17 at 1:49
  • right, and don't get me started on what Spiradisc did. Feb 12 '17 at 1:54
  • Did your friend test the official 18 sector Wings of Fury or, perhaps, a cracked 16 sector version?

Walking Dead Finale… sigh..(spoilers also)

Walking-Dead S6

Well..I’m torn.  I watched the season 6 finale and I thought it was really good and fine way to finish off what I thought was the best season in a while.  Until the last 10 seconds.  I’ll explain later.

The episode did an excellent job of  building the tension.  The interactions with the Saviors at each route they tried was a nice mechanism to turn the crank as they vainly tried to get Maggie to the doctor at Hilltop.  And the dialog really set up season 7 based on what I believe happened at the end.  A couple lines involving Rick really highlighted the almost arrogance that he has seemed to develop.  The first was when that dummy Spencer asked if they should try and negotiate if the Saviors show up and Rick gave that smarmy smirk and said to tell them to wait for him. The second really telling moment was when Maggie told Rick that she believed in him.  This was a critical line. (I’ll get back to this)

There was also a really nice moment with Abraham and Eugene when he sacrificed himself to let the others get to Hilltop on foot.  It really felt like a good bye and it was bittersweet.

Now to the really issue I had with the episode.  First, I thought JDM was fantastic.  He really pulled it off. And he certainly has the charisma (and I’m told the looks) to pull of the Negan character.  A great introduction…  And then the last 10 seconds happened.  What the F was that?  Awful is what it was. I truly think the writers took it a step too far. I think they would have been much better served and had a much more positive response if they actually showed who was killed and ended on say…Maggie’s horror stricken face?

Dead Man Walking

It had to be Glenn who met Lucille at the end.  I think that’s the case because they gave us a couple clues.  Namely the faith shown by Maggie in Rick and the group earlier in the episode and the promises Rick made to her. It kind of highlighted just how tight they are as a group to show how impactful Glenn’s hopefully smashed face is to them.  With Glenn being the chosen one, it will break Maggie from the group and that leads to other events down the road.

I’m still looking forward to the next season but that last ten seconds really dampened my enthusiasm.  Even after hearing the rationalizations that Kirkman and Gimple both gave on The Talking Dead (an amazing show btw), I still feel like it was the wrong choice.  A lot of real fans of the comic and the show were disappointed.

The worst part of the whole thing? This waste is still alive!!

Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP)

A transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is a surgical procedure used to treat urinary problems caused by an enlarged prostate. This surgery is incredibly effective at relieving symptoms for men that have not had success with medications prescribed to treat their moderate to severe urinary issues.

Symptoms Treated by TURP

A transurethral resection of the prostate helps to relieve multiple problematic urinary symptoms related to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) such as:

  • Frequent urge to urinate
  • Slow stream of urination
  • Difficulty in beginning urination
  • Stopping and starting of the urine stream during urination
  • Increased frequency of urination at night
  • Constant feeling of an unempty bladder
  • Urinary tract infections

TURP is also commonly used to prevent or treat conditions that can cause a case of blocked urine flow like:

  • Bladder stones
  • Recurring urinary tract infections
  • Inability to urinate
  • Damage to the kidneys or bladder
  • Blood in the urine
  • Inability to control urine

What to Expect

During a transurethral resection of the prostate, a visual and surgical instrument called a rectoscope is inserted through the tip of the penis into the urethra. Here, Dr. Richard Levin can obtain a clear visual of the prostate surrounding the urethra. The excess prostate tissue is then removed to reinstate a regular flow of urine through the urethra.

TURP Recovery

The recovery from a transurethral resection of the prostate typically requires a two day stay in the hospital. During this time the patient will experience swelling of the affected areas and will require a catheter to maintain proper urine flow until the swelling has decreased. Small amounts of blood in the urine along with slight pain upon urination are both common outcomes of a TURP surgery.

Risks Associated With TURP

As with any surgical procedure, there are several risks associated with a transurethral resection of the prostate. These potential risks include:

  • Temporary difficulty urinating
  • Heavy bleeding
  • Incontinence
  • Low levels of sodium in the blood
  • Urinary tract infection
  • Dry orgasm (also known as retrograde ejaculation)
  • Possible need for retreatment

It is incredibly important to carefully weigh all of these possible risks and benefits before committing to a TURP procedure.

Schedule a TURP Consultation

To speak with a urologist Dr. Richard Levin in North Miami, FL about your questions and concerns regarding a transurethral resection of the prostate, please schedule an appointment by giving our office a call today at (305) 932-4444 or request an appointment online!

2018 BMW G 310 GS

First Ride Review

We’ve been waiting for more than a year to get our gloved hands on the 2018 BMW G 310 GS, so a little rain wasn’t going to dampen our mood. In fact, as the herd (Flock? Gaggle? Pod?) of journalists trooped out to the row of GSs, which were being toweled off in a thoughtful but futile gesture by the BMW staff, we all agreed that it seemed fitting that we’d be testing an ADV bike in less-than-ideal conditions. That is, after all, what they’re for.

We got our first in-person look at the G 310 GS at the press launch of the G 310 R way back in December 2016. The GS shares a lot of components with its roadster sibling, including its comprehensive LCD dash, tubular steel frame with bolt-on rear subframe, 313cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine, die-cast aluminum swingarm, brakes, seat and headlight.

Because it wears the “GS” badge, however, ADV-ability expectations run high, and so it received a number of appropriate alterations. The handlebars are wider and angled farther back, it’s fitted with a luggage rack, wind deflector, beak, larger front fender, narrower and taller front wheel (2.5-inch x 19-inch vs. 3.0 x 17 on the R), spiked footpegs with removable rubber inserts, extended suspension travel (7.1 inches front and rear vs. 5.5 front and 5.2 rear on the R), two-channel ABS that can be switched off for off-road use, and Metzeler Tourance dual-sport tires, plus its exhaust was redesigned with a new heat shield and more upswept silencer.

Thanks to the longer-travel suspension, its rider is perched on a fairly lofty (for a small bike) 32.9-inch seat, although its soft dual-sport suspension sags considerably once aboard and EIC Tuttle, who has a 29-inch inseam, was able to get the balls of both feet solidly on terra firma. In fact, the “Lil’” GS doesn’t feel so little—apart from its feathery 377-pound curb weight—from behind the handlebar. Sitting next to its R 1200 GS big brother it’s clearly smaller, but not 75-percent smaller. More than one person has asked me if it’s a 700 or 800. Lil GS has a big personality.

At its heart is a somewhat radical engine, its single cylinder tilted backwards and rotated 180 degrees, so that the intake is at the front and the exhaust at the rear. Seems logical enough, right? Besides creating a bit more power, having the intake at the front also allowed BMW to use a shorter fuel tank, reducing weight shifts from back-and-forth fuel sloshing.

While rotating the cylinder isn’t as unusual as it seems (the technique has been used on motorcycles and even a helicopter since the 1920s), tilting it rearward was something the engineers at Yamaha came up with when they were designing the 2010 YZF450F dirt bike. They found that by doing so, they could shift weight toward the front wheel and centralize mass, creating a quicker-steering machine.

BMW is the first to make use of the design on a street bike and it promises similar benefits, plus it allows a short wheelbase/long swingarm combo—which translates into quickness and stability. The 4-valve, DOHC cylinder head design is based on the S 1000 RR, including finger follower-type rocker arms with a super hard DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) coating that minimizes friction and a low-friction Nikasil coating on the cylinder sleeve. Nice touches for such an inexpensive bike.

It looks the business as an ADV bike, but the G 310 GS turned out to be a surprisingly capable street master—as long as there aren’t a lot of high-speed freeways involved. It likes to be revved, with a 10,500-rpm redline, and you’ll find yourself working through the 6-speed gearbox on a spirited ride. Keep the tach at 6,000 or above and twist away.

Power output is modest as expected for a 313cc single—on the Jett Tuning rear-wheel dyno it managed 30 peak horsepower at 9,600 rpm and almost 19 lb-ft of torque at 7,600. A rotating counterbalancer shaft tames the vibes; I did a 3-hour freeway stint riding home after the launch and while my wrist was sore from holding the throttle open for so long, my hands, butt and feet never went numb.

With long-travel suspension, the Lil GS eats potholes, frost heaves, bumpy patchwork and any other manner of pavement realities for lunch. For those more interested in being king of the urban jungle than king of the mountain, the 310 GS would make an excellent choice. It sips fuel, even when ridden aggressively; it’s averaging 64 mpg so far. All that combined with a tall seat, wide handlebar and commanding upright riding position—plus the fact that what you’re commanding weighs a scant 377 pounds—make the GS a fantastic city bike.

That’s not to say it doesn’t shine off-road as well. The China-built Kayaba suspension works quite well, soaking up bumps without being overly soft or pogo stick-like from a lack of rebound damping. There are no adjustments apart from rear preload, but even larger testers didn’t complain; a more thorough report will have to wait until we’ve had a chance to attack more than our test ride’s graded dirt road, but it’s worth noting that BMW took care to point out that it’s intended for “light” off-road use, a clear sign of which is the 19-inch front wheel vs. a more dirt-worthy 21.

The ABS-equipped brakes work well and provide decent feedback, but there is quite a bit of travel in the rear lever before it bites. With a powerful radially mounted 4-piston ByBre (Brembo’s Indian subsidiary) caliper and big 300mm disc, I found the front brake is strong enough to be used alone for most casual riding. The ABS can be disabled on the fly, and be aware that when it’s off, it’s off. There is no “off-road” mode where only the rear wheel is disabled.

BMW already has a handful of accessories available, including a 32.3-inch low seat and a 33.4-inch comfort seat, tank bag, top case and power sockets, with more expected in the future—“necessities” like heated grips and engine protection bars. It’s also planning a new Essentials riding apparel line that will be priced to appeal to 310 GS buyers.

The 2018 G 310 GS is in dealers now, and comes in three colors, Cosmic Black, Racing Red and Pearl White Metallic with Motorsport colors (carries a $100 upcharge). It’s priced at $5,695, which means that after the $245 destination & handling fee it still comes in under $6k, at $5,940. That’s a lot of bike for not a lot of dollars, and we’re betting dealers will have a hard time keeping them in stock. BMW is smart, capitalizing on its popular GS line to create an affordable entry into its brand, where it surely plans on keeping buyers hooked for life.

Lockdown Diary – Day 13

Another beautiful spring day, temperatures in the 70s. Spent some time sitting in the garden under pristine blue skies. No airplanes passing overhead, no sound of traffic. It would be heaven under other circumstances.

Watching the replay of the White Sox 2019 home opener as I write this. It made me think how just five or so years ago Charlie and I would be getting started with another season playing baseball down at Horsham Junior Baseball Club. I really feel sorry for all the kids who aren’t able to go out and play baseball, or play anything really. I can’t imagine what it must be like having young children locked down and unable to burn off their boundless energy.

Now Boris Johnson has been admitted to hospital for “tests”. Except their are no tests. Rumours abound that he’s really in worse shape than they have let on. I hope he pulls through because surely it will change his perspective and so his policies.

I’ve never been a big fan of the monarchy, but I found the address the Queen gave to the nation today very moving. These are extraordinary times.

The past few days it seemed that time was passing very quickly. But today things seemed to slow down considerably.

Tomorrow is another day.

The Boston Herald’s story is actually about the Boston Occupiers turning to……

Occupy Boston has turned to the local experts on street survival – the homeless – as members of the leaderless movement prepare to dig in for a long winter in their makeshift tent city on the Rose Kennedy Greenway downtown.

The homeless have given the anti-corporate protest’s volunteer organizers helpful tips such as stuffing their clothes with “hay and straw,” said Kristopher Eric Martin, who works in Occupy Boston’s logistics and supplies tent.

Why, yes, let’s ask the people who may be crazy and uneducated for advice. Anyhow, the city said the Occupiers are more than welcome to hang out and freeze their nads off to their hearts content. Though, they probably realize that once the temps start dipping down, the Occupiers will head for home.

Boston Fire Department spokesman Steve MacDonald also offered some good advice: “Please do not burn the city down, perhaps by using kerosene lamps.”

“Our concern is always the big picture: No matter where you live, you don’t do things to heat your home, heat your space, heat your garage against common sense,” he said.

Yeah, probably a good idea, and, something that should be stressed to the Occupiers, since, being liberals, they do need someone to hold their hands, wipe their noses, and constantly inform them that burning the city down is a Bad Idea.

Meanwhile, Zuccotti Park area residents in NYC are a wee bit upset

Infuriated lower Manhattan residents went ballistic on Zuccotti Park protesters at a chaotic Community Board 1 meeting tonight while blasting politicians for allowing the siege to continue without any end in sight.

“They are defecating on our doorsteps,” fumed Catherine Hughes, a member of Community Board 1 and a stay at home mom who has the misfortune of living one block from the chaos. “A lot of people are very frustrated. A lot of people are concerned about the safety of our kids.”

Fed up homeowners said that they’ve been subjected to insults and harassment as they trek to their jobs each morning. “The protesters taunt people who are on their way to work,” said James Fernandez, 51, whose apartment overlooks the park.

They are literally pooping on people’s doorsteps. That is pretty much symbolic of the movement at this point: crapping on Everyone Else so they can get their way.

They’re also making so much noise that people, including children, are having trouble sleeping. When asked to tone it down, the Occupiers get even louder and more abusive.

New York LOCKS DOWN After Multiple Terror Attacks On London!

New York LOCKS DOWN After Multiple Terror Attacks On London!

The NYPD Counter Terrorism Bureau has made the decision that its Critical Response Command unit would need to jump up security throughout New York City following the multiple terrorist attacks that had gone down in London Saturday night.

The NYPD came out and issued many statements on Twitter confirming the need for intensified protection in America’s largest city following the London attacks, while noting that police are not cognizant of any specific threats that have been made on the city.

It’s best to be prepared.

Trending: The 15 Best Conservative News Sites On The Internet

“We’re monitoring the situation in London and we’re in touch with British authorities,” New York Police Department spokesman J. Peter Donald said to reporters. Even Governor Andrew Cuomo made a statement that the state had really deployed officials to tightly defend expected terror targets around the city, with more security given to “airports, bridges, tunnels and mass transit systems.”

New York City of late has endured a car ramming incident in Times Square; with the culprit in that case being a mentally unstable man and so they threw out any ties to Jihadi groups.

Even San Diego’s Police Department wanted their citizens to know that they were not expecting any specific threat in their city.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) also had to get their PR in and came out with the statement, “working with our interagency partners and foreign counterparts to gain further insight into reported attacks against civilians on London Bridge and in the surrounding area.”

DHS went on to suggest:

“U.S. citizens in the area should heed direction from local authorities and maintain security awareness. We encourage any affected U.S. citizens who need assistance to contact the U.S. Embassy in London and follow Department of State guidance.”

It’s better safe than sorry. We don’t want to be like London anytime soon.

This is Live performance by Tangerine Dream, one of our favorite instrumental synth space favorites, i actually enjoy this type quite a lot, and envision the time when I will have the patience to sit and try my best and the worst example of this. but in the meanwhile, I play Tangerine Dream or Zombi, or Goblin, Or maserati or… whoever, point is this release, right here, has a really good pair of compositions that are really interesting, except the very first of the first half, which i believe it’s intended to be a little more joyful of sorts but comes put very, sitcom intro, too, sweet.

without any complain other than that, this is a blast, and or a trip, or both if you choose to, if anything it feels short in comparison for how huge it sounds. but it flows easily, like water in some sort of river, through the plains, of a wilderness of sorts, inhabited by machines, both dreadful and magical, regardless, a true auditory experience, highly recommended.

Playing with Fire: The Jim Cullum Jazz Band in Concert with the San Jose Symphony

Stanford U

Outdoor Theater at Stanford University. Photo courtesy of the university.

This special concert edition of Riverwalk Jazz was recorded live at Frost Amphitheater on the campus of Stanford University one Sunday afternoon in July of 1999. It’s a rare concert performance as The Jim Cullum Jazz Band teams up with the San Jose Symphony Orchestra conducted by Michael Krajewski for the national radio premiere of Playing With Fire, an original work composed for traditional jazz band and symphony orchestra by bandleader Jim Cullum and noted composer Frank Ticheli.

It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon in July, a perfect day for an outdoor concert, as The Jim Cullum Jazz Band appeared before a crowd of some 5,000 parents and children at the 37th Annual Summer Symphony Concert Series at Stanford University near San Francisco. Inaugurated in 1960 with a performance led by the long-time conductor of the Boston Pops Orchestra Arthur Fiedler, this concert series in northern California is a benefit for the local Children’s Health Council; it has had a rich history of presenting America’s great artists, including Benny Goodman, the Duke Ellington Orchestra and Ella Fitzgerald.

Continuing in this grand tradition with The Jim Cullum Jazz Band in concert, it was a perfect day for picnics on the lawn, relaxing in the shade, and impromptu dancing by the six to ten-year-old set in front of the stage. The show got under way with Jim and the Band heating things up with “Freakish,” a tune originally composed by Jelly Roll Morton in 1929 as a solo piano piece, it is heard here in an original arrangement for seven-piece jazz band created by pianist John Sheridan.

The concert continues with two more selections often played by The Jim Cullum Jazz Band— “I’m Comin’ Virginia,” cited as a crowning achievement in the recorded output of Jazz Age cornet genius Bix Beiderbecke; and “One Step to Heaven,” a 1928 composition from the early Chicago jazz scene which bandleader Jim Cullum learned from the playing of guitarist Eddie Condon.

In 1993 Jim Cullum set out to write a new composition for jazz band and orchestra. He teamed up with the highly acclaimed composer Frank Ticheli and created Playing with Fire. The three-movement ‘through composed’ work incorporates strains reminiscent of jazz styles and blues themes from Spirituals to Swing. Each movement focuses on a different aspect of pre-World War II jazz genres.

Evan Christopher

“A La Bauduc” pays tribute to small ensemble jazz bands and Bob Crosby Bob Cats drummer Ray Bauduc with a special nod to his playing with bassist Bob Haggart on “Big Noise from Winnetka.” The second movement, “Shades of Blue,” explores 12-bar blues themes in Spirituals, Hymns and Jazz. The third movement, “Polyphonies and Riffs,” features a spectacular extended 20-chorus clarinet solo from Evan Christopher that brought the crowd to its feet.

The composers dedicate this work to their fathers—Frank Ticheli, Sr and Jim Cullum, Sr. Both men were passionate in their love for jazz, and they inspired their sons to make music their life’s work.
