ENIAC

From Wikipedia

ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer) was the first programmable, electronic, general-purpose digital computer, completed in 1945. There were other computers that had these features, but the ENIAC had all of them in one package. It was Turing-complete and able to solve "a large class of numerical problems" through reprogramming.

ENIAC was formally accepted by the U.S. Army Ordnance Corps in July 1946. It was transferred to Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland in 1947, where it was in continuous operation until 1955.

ENIAC was designed by John Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert

ENIAC had 20 ten-digit signed accumulators, which used ten's complement representation and could perform 5,000 simple addition or subtraction operations between any of them and a source (e.g., another accumulator or a constant transmitter) per second. It was possible to connect several accumulators to run simultaneously, so the peak speed of operation was potentially much higher, due to parallel operation.

ENIAC could be programmed to perform complex sequences of operations, including loops, branches, and subroutines.

formally accepted by the U.S. Army Ordnance Corps in July 1946. ENIAC was shut down on November 9, 1946, for a refurbishment and a memory upgrade, and was transferred to Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland in 1947.

I am also confused about thoughts that I may have been a helicopter pilot. What's next? A space shuttle pilot? Seems like a lot for someone that is only 40. And, while I am not sure when this divergence happened, I am reasonably certain it was before I turned 33. So I must have been a pretty busy guy.

Broken hearts want broken necks

Broke a promise cause my car broke down

U.S. Attacks Iran Frigates, Oil Platforms, Sinks Boat : American Helicopter Is Missing

April 18, 1988 Times Wire Services

MANAMA, Bahrain — U.S. warships and aircraft destroyed two of Iran's Persian Gulf oil platforms today, sank a patrol boat and damaged two Iranian frigates that fired missiles at American planes.

Iranian naval forces responded with attacks on Arab oil facilities, U.S., British and Cypriot commercial vessels and on a press helicopter chartered by NBC.

It was the most intense direct U.S.-Iran conflict since President Reagan ordered last summer that Navy forces be strengthened in the gulf, where Iran and Iraq have been at war since September, 1980.

Later today Defense Secretary Frank C. Carlucci said that a two-man U.S. attack helicopter was missing and "we are concerned."

Defense Department officials said naval forces were searching for the Cobra chopper, a Marine aircraft that had been stationed aboard the cruiser Wainwright.

Washington called destruction of the oil platforms a "measured response" to the explosion of a mine, allegedly planted by Iran, that blew a hole in an American frigate last week and wounded 10 sailors.

Reagan said today's operations were a warning to Iran that "we will protect our ships and, if they threaten us, they'll pay a price. We undertook this action to make sure the Iranians have no illusions about the cost of irresponsible behavior."

No casualties were reported among U.S. forces. Iran's official Islamic Republic News Agency said there were deaths and injuries aboard the platforms but it did not say how many.

Gave Advance Warning

On Reagan's instructions, about 9 a.m. gulf time, two groups of Navy warships struck the Iranian oil platforms Sassan and Sirri, 100 miles apart in the southern Persian Gulf.

They gave the Iranians advance warning to evacuate the platforms, which have been used as speedboat bases for attacks on neutral shipping. Reagan ordered the attacks as retaliation for the mine that holed the frigate Samuel B. Roberts on Thursday.

Both platforms were destroyed and left ablaze, one by naval gunfire and the other by explosives that were placed on it, according to statements in Washington.

The Iranian news agency said U.S. warships hit the Sassan platform at 9 a.m. and, 23 minutes later, the Sirri platform off nearby Sirri Island.

IRNA said Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Velayati wrote a letter of protest to U.N. Secretary General Javier Perez de Cuellar that said, in part: "Iran will never submit to the policy of violence and intimidation and will definitely respond to the cowardly U.S. attacks."

Gunboats on Rampage

After the U.S. attacks, Iranian gunboats went on a rampage in the southern gulf. They attacked oil facilities and commercial vessels at the Mubarak oil field off the Sharjah emirate and, hours later, a Cypriot freighter leaving the United Arab Emirates with a load of fertilizer.

Carlucci said a Navy helicopter was fired on during the raid on the platforms but was not hit. Iranians shot at a press helicopter carrying an NBC-TV crew and an Associated Press photographer but missed.

AP photographer Norbert Schiller said the "Iranians fired at least half a dozen .50-caliber rounds and small-arms fire" at the helicopter.

Two Iranian warplanes tried to harass a U.S. warship but the ship fired missiles and the aircraft fled, shipping sources reported.

They said an Iranian patrol boat fired at the Wainwright, one of the ships attacking Sassan and Sirri, but did not hit it.









Los Angeles Times

April 22, 1988

"We will not forget the pure blood of the Iranians shed by the U.S. mercenaries in the Persian Gulf," Iranian Prime Minister Hussein Moussavi said "The U.S. should know that the Persian Gulf will not tolerate the presence of filthy Americans."

Operation Earnest Will

Operation Earnest Will, the U.S. Navy escort of “re-flagged” Kuwaiti tankers, officially commenced in July 1987. However, on 25 May, U.S. Navy ships did provide escort for a Kuwaitiflagged cargo ship that was transporting U.S. arms to Bahrain. Operation Earnest Will would last from 24 July 1987 to 26 September 1988 and was the largest naval convoy operation since World War II.

Chandler opted to keep Wainwright’s bow pointed at Joshan to minimize radar cross section. The Iranian Harpoon’s seeker either failed to activate or was lured off by chaff, and the missile passed close aboard down Wainwright’s starboard side. Bagley also fired a Harpoon at Joshan, which missed. The U.S. ships then sank the crippled patrol boat with guns. The Joshan suffered 15 sailors killed; among the severely wounded was Captain Mallek with a severed leg. While the surface action was going on, two Iranian F-4 Phantom fighter-bombers were orbiting too close for comfort and Wainwright engaged them with two extended-range Standard missiles.

The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1973

Born: 7 November 1903, Vienna, Austria

Died: 27 February 1989, Vienna, Austria

Affiliation at the time of the award: Konrad-Lorenz-Institut der Österreichischen Akademie der Wissen­schaften, Forschungsstelle für Ethologie, Altenberg; Grünau im Almtal, Austria

Prize motivation: “for their discoveries concerning organization and elicitation of individual and social behaviour patterns”



Konrad Lorenz

From Wikipedia

Konrad Zacharias Lorenz (7 November 1903 – 27 February 1989) was an Austrian zoologist, ethologist, and ornithologist. He shared the 1973 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Nikolaas Tinbergen and Karl von Frisch. He is often regarded as one of the founders of modern ethology, the study of animal behavior.

Regarding aggression in human beings, Lorenz states:

Let us imagine that an absolutely unbiased investigator on another planet, perhaps on Mars, is examining human behavior on earth, with the aid of a telescope whose magnification is too small to enable him to discern individuals and follow their separate behavior, but large enough for him to observe occurrences such as migrations of peoples, wars, and similar great historical events. He would never gain the impression that human behavior was dictated by intelligence, still less by responsible morality. If we suppose our extraneous observer to be a being of pure reason, devoid of instincts himself and unaware of the way in which all instincts in general and aggression in particular can miscarry, he would be at a complete loss how to explain history at all. The ever-recurrent phenomena of history do not have reasonable causes. It is a mere commonplace to say that they are caused by what common parlance so aptly terms "human nature." Unreasoning and unreasonable human nature causes two nations to compete, though no economic necessity compels them to do so; it induces two political parties or religions with amazingly similar programs of salvation to fight each other bitterly, and it impels an Alexander or a Napoleon to sacrifice millions of lives in his attempt to unite the world under his scepter. We have been taught to regard some of the persons who have committed these and similar absurdities with respect, even as "great" men, we are wont to yield to the political wisdom of those in charge, and we are all so accustomed to these phenomena that most of us fail to realize how abjectly stupid and undesirable the historical mass behavior of humanity actually is

Also, "Salesman." I saw that in a dream while sleeping recently. I saw myself going through an induction process in the United States Marine Corps and I woke up understanding that I was dreaming of my actual experience in 1990. I saw a document that indicated I was being inducted to the United States Marine Corps with the officer grade of Chief Warrant Officer 2. I saw in the dream another document associated with my induction and that document indicated I had been assigned the informal name "Salesman."

40th President of the United States: 1981 ‐ 1989

Address at Commencement Exercises at Seton Hall University in South Orange, New Jersey

May 21, 1983

Ronald Reagan: And I was fortunate. A man who had survived the Great Depression until then, and was doing well out in the business world, gave me some advice. He said, "Look, I could tell you that maybe I could speak to someone and they might give you a job. But," he said, "they'd only do it because of me." And then he said, "They wouldn't have a particular interest in you." He said, "May I tell you that even in the depths of this depression," and so I will say to you even in the depths of this recession, there are people out there who know that the future is going to depend on taking young people into whatever their undertaking is and starting them out so that—whether it's business, industry, or whatever it might be—it will continue on.

"Now," he said, "a salesman has to knock on a lot of doors before he makes a sale. So," he said, "if you will make up your mind what line of work you want to be in, what industry, what business, whatever it is, profession or other," he said, "and then start knocking on doors, eventually you'll come to one of those men or women who feels that way. And all you have to do-don't ask for the particular job you want; tell them you'll take any job in that industry or that business, whatever it may be, because you believe in it and its future and you'll take your chances on progressing from there."

Not sure but think Joe McCarthy captured the image. Someone, Mrs. East, I think, had us posing in "oriental" theme hats and that photograph, I am certain, was published in the class yearbook and that must have been year 1983. The Flickr pages seem to be the same copy as on the Classmates dot com site. I'm either being dumbass and overlooking the obvious or the page I'm looking for wasn't copied and published with the rest of the content for 1983

AWARDS AND CITATIONS

Navy Cross

Awarded for actions during the Vietnam War

The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Navy Cross to Lieutenant, Junior Grade Clarence Leroy Cook (NSN: 0-703267), United States Naval Reserve, for extraordinary heroism while serving as Copilot of a search and rescue helicopter, attached to Helicopter Combat Support Squadron SEVEN (HC-7), Detachment 104, embarked aboard U.S.S. PREBLE (DLG-15) operating as a unit of the United States Seventh Fleet, in connection with the rescue of two downed aviators in North Vietnam on 19 June 1968. Providing exceptional support to the Pilot of his aircraft throughout this daring night rescue mission which was carried out despite extremely formidable enemy opposition, Lieutenant Cook rendered invaluable assistance in locating and maintaining references to the position of the survivors, and in utilizing his machine gun to suppress hostile small arms and automatic weapons fire which was directed at the rescue helicopter with growing intensity during four difficult descents which culminated in the successful rescue of the survivors. By his professional skill, prompt actions, and great personal valor in the face of intense enemy fire, Lieutenant Cook contributed in large measure to the success of this rescue mission and upheld the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.

Marshall Says Bush Should Not Use Race as 'Excuse' for Picking Wrong Successor : Supreme Court: The retiring justice at a press briefing shows his usual feistiness. 'What's wrong with me? I'm . . . coming apart,' he tells reporters.

June 29, 1991 KAREN TUMULTY TIMES STAFF WRITER

WASHINGTON — Retiring Justice Thurgood Marshall, the only black ever to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court and in recent years its leading liberal voice, said Friday that President Bush should not use race as "an excuse" for picking the wrong person to succeed him.

Showing characteristic feistiness, Marshall sat impatiently tapping his cane throughout a news conference at which he resolutely fended off questions about his views on the high court's direction or social trends.

Asked whether Bush has an obligation to replace him with a minority member, Marshall said: "I don't think (race) should be used as an excuse one way or the other . . . . I mean for picking the wrong Negro, and saying, 'I'm picking him because he is a Negro.' I am opposed to that."

He added: "There's no difference between a white snake and black snake. They'll both bite."

But at the same time, Marshall stopped short of saying that race should not be a factor in picking his replacement.

"Of course I didn't say that," he said.

Marshall, named to the court in 1967 by then-President Lyndon B. Johnson, said that he, his wife and his doctor had been discussing the possibility of his retirement during the past six months. Marshall, who turns 83 next week, cited his "advancing age and medical condition" in announcing his resignation Thursday.

Pressed at Friday's news conference about his ailments, he said: "What's wrong with me? I'm old. I'm getting old and coming apart."

Asked whether he will write his memoirs, Marshall said the only plan he had for his retirement was to "sit on my rear end."

Asked to assess his legacy, he replied: "I don't know what legacy I left. It's up to the people." As to the epitaph he would like, he said: "He did what he could with what he had."

United States Marshals Service

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The United States Marshals Service (USMS) is a federal law enforcement agency within the U.S. Department of Justice (28 U.S.C. § 561). It is the oldest American federal law enforcement agency and was created by the Judiciary Act of 1789 during the presidency of George Washington as the Office of the United States Marshal. The USMS as it stands today was established in 1969 to provide guidance and assistance to Marshals throughout the federal judicial districts. USMS is an agency of the United States executive branch reporting to the United States Attorney-General but serves as the enforcement arm of the United States federal courts to ensure the effective operation of the judiciary and integrity of the constitution.

The Marshals Service is the primary agency for fugitive operations, the protection of officers of the Federal Judiciary

Daily Princetonian, Volume 52, Number 93, 8 October 1927

QUO VADES?

Our corespondent of Wednesday who headed his communication with Quo Vades and signed himself 1928 has said something that will doubtless benefit many students. But in his letter he was forced to an extreme position in his effort to dislodge the self-satisfied inertia that was the target of his missile.

The Princetonian feels that the first mistaken idea in the article lies in the supposition that a large per cent, of the Freshmen come to Princeton filled with the perfect dreams of young idealists. It is true that each yearling class has a minority of such men. But the very hypothesis, assumed by our correspondent, that Princeton is so organized and such a sordid business proposition would be an indication of the presence of a type of man that ultimately brings such a state into being. Great numbers of Freshmen start campaigns yearly that are intended solely for the purpose of achieving the fruits of a college tinged with a commercial atmosphere. That is why the individual is so often suppressed and is also why such things as friendship and ideals go by the board in the mad rush. That is why there are so many thriving politicians, and so many busy charm gatherers.

This is at once a fortunate and an unfortunate state. For the man who knows what he wants and is willing to sacrifice his all to attain that end, it is indeed fortunate. For his path to fortune is already prescribed. But for the individual who cannot find what he wants in this system, it is equally unfortunate. He is left with the necessity of altering his standards and personality or else remaining out of sympathy with his environment for four very formative years of his life. If the individual is too different or too set, the change to conformity is too much to ask and the real answer for him is to move to an environment that is more closely in keeping with his tastes.

In any event it is too much to say that two years are wasted before the realization dawns on the poor beguiled student. The main reason for Princeton's existence is the work that students may perform here. If the student realizes this first purpose of his education, he will enter upon his Junior year with a taste of work well done and a resultant taste for such study. The rest are all by-products, important as many of them are.

Our correspondent also naively asserts that men very high in Princeton life often make serious mistakes. That is too obvious to bear comment. No one should come to college expecting a Utopia. If college turns out to be Utopian, then it will do so largely through the student's own endeavor and in his own mind. The Freshman will find in college what he is looking for, provided he is capable of digesting what his appetite demands.

We feel that the letter will do a lot of good to the Campus as a whole.
