The next CIC will be October 28-29 in Washington DC (near Dulles). Location to be announced.
The 3D Collaboration & Interoperability Congress is...
...dedicated to fostering and improving collaboration and interoperability throughout the product lifecycle.
Manufacturing is a distributed business, usually involving global design teams and supply chains. World-class manufacturing cannot happen unless people work together effectively, collaborating from any location, and sharing product data safely, accurately and confidently.
Now in its eleventh year, CIC is the only vendor-neutral event in the world addressing collaboration and interoperability across diverse industries in product development, manufacturing and business communications. This makes it an essential forum to get an unbiased perspective to help guide product development, manufacturing and IT strategies in these mission-critical areas.
Conference organizers are pleased to announce that NAFEMS (the International Association of the Engineering Modeling, Analysis and Simulation Community) will hold their North American bi-annual conference at 3DCIC 2014. In addition, the PDES Board of Directors will again hold their annual meeting at CIC this year, and the 3DPDF Consortium will hold their annual meeting at 3DCIC.

Washington gridlock harming agribusinessMinnesota senator hears from her constituents.
By: Tom Cherveny, Forum News Service
OLIVIA, Minn. — Political gridlock in Washington is taking an economic toll on farm country, representatives of agricultural businesses in Renville County in Minnesota told U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., during a stop Jan. 14 in Olivia, Minn.
The lack of a farm bill has forced Corn Capital Innovations of Olivia to put decisions on expanding its staff on hold, Joel Mathiowetz, director of growth with the consulting and risk management company, told the senator. He said it's hard to invest in additional staff when there is so much uncertainty.
Mathiowetz says rural areas are struggling with a "brain drain" as young people leave for opportunities in urban areas. The uncertainty about farm policy makes it all the harder to recruit and retain talented young people. "It's a bigger challenge than I ever imagined it would be," Mathiowetz says.
Although there is capital available, businesses are hesitant to invest when so many uncertainties exist about the federal deficit and budget, says John Baumgartner, president of Baumgartner Environics of Olivia, an environmental products company for agriculture. He said the "lack of a clear and long-term fiscal policy" is a bigger impediment to business development than taxes.
Klobuchar says she is disappointed by the action to extend the farm bill into this year, and to not approve a new five-year bill.
She holds out some hope.
There is the support needed in the Senate, and its version of the farm bill offers $24 billion in deficit reduction. The importance of agricultural exports to the national economy and keeping rural America on a consistent course are understood in Congress, she says.
The senator says she thinks these selling points — and the pressure of the looming debt ceiling limit — may still make it possible to get a bill through the House.
Her Renville County hosts also thanked the senator for her role in fending off attempts to end the federal sugar program, but asked if future challenges are coming.
Klobuchar says the sugar industry needs to reach out and make its case for the jobs and economic benefits provided by the program. "I still feel we should hang in (there). I am more concerned about the overall farm bill," she says. If a farm bill can be passed, she believes it will retain the program.
Continuing the tour
On Jan. 15, Klobuchar made her first visit to Minnesota Soybean Processors and toured the soybean crush facility and biodiesel refinery, and then met with the cooperative's board of directors to hear about the board's ongoing discussions to expand the Brewster facility by adding a $10 million glycerin refinery.
The Agriculture Utilization Research Institute of Marshall recently helped fund a feasibility study on the market for refined glycerin. Taryl Enderson, MnSP general manager, says there is much more work to be done before a decision is made to advance the project.
The region's soybean producers have benefited by capitalizing on the value-added ventures of MnSP, but as MnSP board member Mike Zins was quick to point out, energy legislation that has to be addressed year after year is a hindrance to proposed expansion.
"As you put these things in place with regard to the farm bill, energy, ethanol and biodiesel, you got to remember when you set up a plant like this, it's not set up…."
"For one-year increments?" Klobuchar finished. "I know. If we could somehow get our courage up to get a debt deal done … then I truly believe energy and immigration reform are probably the two issues where we could get some bipartisan consensus.
"We need to push an energy vote for a longer term instead of year to year to year, which is so damaging not just for you guys, but for wind, solar — everyone involved in this," Klobuchar adds.

A new call to lower the drink driving limit has reopened the debate, writes motoring journalist Maria McCarthy.
Last month, the Parliamentary Advisory Council for Transport Safety (PACTS) wrote a letter to the Times newspaper calling for a cut in the drink driving limit.
It says the government should implement the recommendation from Sir Peter North in his joint report with the Transport Select Committee for the blood alcohol limit to be lowered.
The report calls for a cut from 80 milligrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood, to 50 milligrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood.
This would bring the UK in line with most other European countries and, PACTS believes, reduce fatalities and road accidents.
Most road safety groups support this move.
But Brigid Simmonds, chief executive of the British Beer and Pub Association disagrees, saying: "We are against drink driving and support random breath testing.
"However, most drink driving road accidents are caused by people significantly over the limit.
"We feel that lowering it would penalise a responsible majority who might have a small drink with a meal."
Drinking while also trying to stay under the limit can be a tricky business.
Different types of wine and beer have different strengths, and the effect varies depending on your weight, metabolism and whether you've eaten recently.
Keeping track at a party where you'll probably be offered a drink that's two or three times the size of a pub measure is even more difficult.
People also process alcohol at different rates, so some will recover from the effects quicker than others.
These variables are why most road safety organisations and alcohol awareness campaigns are reluctant to put a figure on the number of units a person can drink and stay under the legal limit.
TIP: Try the Confused.com alcohol units calculator to work out which drinks are likely to push you over the limit.
"We need more education in this country about the effect that alcohol has on the body," says Jeanette Miller, a senior partner at Geoffrey Miller Solicitors which specialises in defending drivers accused of motoring offences.
"The number of morning after cases we see illustrates this – people who have thought the alcohol they drank the night before has left their system when in fact it hasn't."
The consequences of drink driving can be tragic. The Institute of Alcohol Studies estimates that drink driving caused 460 fatalities in 2007.
It estimates that an additional 250 fatalities were caused by drivers and riders with raised blood alcohol levels but still under the current legal limit.
Even if they're not involved in an accident, motorists caught over the legal limit face at least a year driving ban, as well as a fine of up to £5,000 and up to six months' imprisonment.
Causing death by careless driving under the influence of alcohol can mean a prison sentence of up to 14 years.
And if convicted for drink driving, car insurance is likely to prove expensive.
On a personal level, I made myself a promise when I passed my driving test that I would never drink and drive.
I've got a small build and feel the effect of alcohol very quickly – I'm not really safe in charge of a bar stool, let alone a car!
Also, for me drinking is about kicking back and relaxing, not worrying about whether I'll be alright with just the one.
However there is something that feels rather puritanical about sipping a mineral water or orange juice when your friends are knocking back the booze.
When I'm out on the town I want to feel I'm having a treat, so a wider, more imaginative range of soft drinks and coffees in bars would be most welcome.
The last time I was the designated driver, I was with friends in a pub which served hot chocolate.
Having one of those helped ease any feelings of deprivation while still letting me have a safe journey home.
Should the drink driving limit be cut? Or perhaps you think it should be against the law for motorists to drink any amount of alcohol and drive?
And what's your experience of being the designated driver - should pubs and bars do a wider range of drinks to appease non-drinking motorists?

I think that the limit should be reduced, having the limit set where it is sends the wrong signal to drivers. Consumption of sufficient alcohol to reach the current limit could significantly affect a persons judgement about stopping drinking.

WE need to get a perspective on this. The original 80ml limit was chosen as the level at which the chance of an accident was doubled.So using some rough figures. Tom lives 5 miles from the pub. He drives there and back every night for 40 years. He doesn't drink alcohol. He can expect to have one accident on the way there and one on the way back in his lifetime of pub-going.Dick also lives 5 miles from the pub and, like Tom drives there every night for 40 years. But he drinks to the limit every night. So in his lifetime of pub-going he can expect one accident on the way there and two on the way home.And, on average, a 50 year-old who drinks to the current limit is still a lot safer that a sober 25year-old.

As a person who couldn't drink booze until in his mid 20's due to previous health issues, it has never bothered me only consuming soft drinks whilst with friends. However, what DOES bother and infuriate me is the COST of soft drinks at licensed establishments, which is disgusting. Thus nowadays, if in a pub and I'm driving, I request a free glass of tap water instead!

I oppose a reduction in the limit. The current limit is perfectly sufficient. Supporters say this would "bring us in line" with other EU countries and significantly reduce accidents. An odd statement, since even with lower limits most European countries have a significantly worse drink driving problem than ours. As with most other regulations, they are also very bad at enforcing the limits they have, whereas we would of course be expected to enforce them to the letter. I speak, incidentally, as a police officer and someone who rarely drinks anything whatsoever before driving, let alone enough to put me over the limit. As stated in the article, most accidents are caused by those who are significantly over the limit and really don't care, and all this would achieve is to criminalise people who wouldn't dream of deliberately drink driving.

I have been driving for 55 years and can honestly say that I have NEVER got behind the wheel with a even a single alcoholic drink in me. I like a drink, ( bourbon preferably ), but if I'm driving I don't drink alcohol. There are plenty of non-alcohol drinks available at bars, ( not all fizzy), and I feel that we should adopt a zero tolerance attitude to drink driving.IF YOU ARE DRIVING,- DON'T DRINK!!

I'm not in favour of drinking alchohol and driving but if the statistics are saying that in 2007 there were 460 fatalities caused by people over the limit and an additional 250 fatalities caused by people with raised blood alchohol levels but who were still below the legal limits, using the same logic, I can only assume that there were no fatalities whatsoever caused by drivers who were completely sober.If people are really interested in road safety I would like to add that if 5% of all road traffic accidents are caused by drink driving surely to god it's the other 95% that we should be looking at.

Of course the drink drive limit does not need to be reduced. There is no evidence that a reduction will have any appreciable impact upon reducing casualties and this change will be used by the insurance industry to be more punitive on drivers where the actual amount that you can drink and pass is variable in each of us. The impact disproportionate. Drink driving is not the problem it was 30 years ago! Drunken pedestrians is a problem and there is no activity in place to deal with that! What about drugged drivers at the wheel of cars? This is a cynical ploy supported by the insurance industry. The punishment is now totally unrealistic!

I do not believe the drink drive limit should be reduced.On the basis that 35 milligrammes in breath is literally only 2 drinks, and I would assume that most drivers can drive sensibly and carefully up to this level.

I do agree that there should be a wider range of non alcoholic beverages for the designated driver. However I did recently visit a pub with a couple of friends and had a nice surprise, the non alcoholic beverages were free of charge if you were the designated driver.On the matter of the legal limit I have to agree with the Scandinavians, a total ban if you drive don't drink, if you want to drink get a taxi

I think drink driving should be banned altogether! Why does anyone feel the need to drink and then drive anyway? Its dangerous and selfish and unless its a life or death situation then there is no excuse to get behind the wheel of a car after even just 1 drink! Its pathetic how people have no thought about other people around them as well as themselves, cut it out completely!

The limit should be reduced to at most 50 milligrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood. No alcohol at all would be unnecessarily tight as a small amount of alcohol (sherry trifle or some medications?) is unlikely to be as detrimental as driving while sleepy or unwell. I agree with a previous comment about the high cost of soft drinks in pubs and restaurants.

The limit should be reduced to as near zero as medically possible. It's nonsense for the British Beer and Pub Association to claim a reduction would penalise the responsible majority who might have a small drink with a meal - the responsible majority simply don't drink & drive - ever. But an irresponsible minority think they can get away with it - a zero limit would help make it clear that they can't.

I find it interesting that those in support of the status quo, use reasoned arguments and factual logic in support of their points. Yet those who wish to see change use loose statistics and emotionally loaded rhetoric. - Read the comments from the police officer, there speaks the voice of cold reason and common sense. A zero limit would drive more people away from public houses - with their inevitable closures - and push more drinking away from the oversight of responsible pub landlords, and into the home; where the problems of home drinking are well known and well documented.

This has nothing to do with justice or road safety; it is just like the speed camera scam - another cynical ploy to make more revenue & reduce the number of drivers on the roads. How can any driver reasonably be expected to know what his/her blood alcohol count is at any particular time, unless he/she happens to have access to a laboratory which carries out blood analyses? I have researched the market for personal breathalysers, with varying results as to their accuracy. Officialdom relies on uncertainty as a means to convict drivers. Example: the MOT test does not recalibrate speedometers, so drivers have only an approximate idea of their speed. The speedo is calibrated at manufacture, then never again! All electronic measuring instruments lose accuracy over time, needing recalibration to remain accurate. As with speed, there is a huge revenue earning potential in luring drivers into believing they know their blood alcohol count, when really they can only know approximately what it is. Throw this proposal out, and let's have police time spent on catching the downright reckless drivers. Finally, I am sick and tired of hearing legislative proposals to the effect that we must copy the EU. This is one more good reason why we should get OUT of the Euviet Union FAST, and become a democracy, not a colony of the Brusselscrats as we are now.

I think we should leave it to research-reviewers, who can judge on the basis of actual experience. I enjoy a glass of wine with a meal an don't think it affects my driving but if the findings are that road acicidents are common amongst drivers who have drunk, though not over the legal limit, then the legal limit needs to adjust in the light of those findings.

The only justification for reducing the limit is if it can be demonstrated that people under the current limit but over the proposed lower limit pose a significant rist to themselves or others. No evidence to support that has been provided. People confuse harsher regulation with harsher enforcement, although they are totally different things. I would strongly support more rigorous enforcement of the existing limit but would oppose a reduction in the limit, given that the penalties for exceeding it are draconian.

Jesse Tarr is in his fifth season in 2014-15 as an assistant coach with both the Charlotte 49ers women's and men's tennis teams.
He has played an integral role in both programs during his tenure. This past season, he coached Macy Vonderschmidt to an All-Conference USA Second Team Singles honor as a freshman. He also played an integral role in helping the 49ers' men's tennis program earn its first ITA national ranking since 2002.
Tarr helped lead the two programs to the third-best combined winning percentage in school history in 2011-12. Both squads earned byes at the Atlantic 10 Championships that season, including the women as the No. 2 seed and a top seed for the men's program.
He has been instrumental in helping both programs secure signees that have drawn notoriety on tennisrecruiting.net. Among the top mid-major classes, the 49ers' women's signees in 2011 and 2013 were listed at No. 21 and receiving votes, respectively, while the men's 2011 group garnered a No. 6 ranking.
In addition to the success on the court, Tarr has pushed the Charlotte women's program to even greater achievements in the classroom. During the Spring 2014 term, the team earned a combined team GPA of 3.68, the highest by any athletic program in school history for a semester. The women's program has also been honored by the NCAA six-straight years as one of its Public Recognition Award recipients for having a perfect 1000 APR score. The run of half-dozen years marks the longest current streak by any Niners' athletic program.
He came to Charlotte after a one-year stint as an assistant men's coach at William & Mary. The Tribe tied the school record with 20 dual match victories on 2010 and clinched the No. 1 seed in the Colonial Athletic Association for the first time in school history. Five W&M players garnered All-CAA honors, the most in program history as the school reached as high as No. 53 in the national poll before finishing among the Top 75.
Tarr served as the recruiting coordinator for the program, whose recruiting class was ranked sixth in the top mid-major classes and received votes for top recruiting class on tennisrecruiting.net. The Tribe had a doubles pair reach as high No. 19 in the national rankings on its way to qualifying for the main draw at the ITA All-American Championships and the NCAA Championships.
He started his coaching career in 2008-09 as a volunteer assistant at Boise State University, which finished No. 20 in the final men's rankings and advanced to the NCAA Sweet 16 following a 24-9 campaign. Five Broncos earned All-Western Athletic Conference accolades, while Boise State also had the league's player and freshman of the year.
Tarr, a Midlothian, Virginia, native played collegiately at James Madison, where he was a four-year starter for the Dukes. He amassed 110 total victories during his career, collecting five All-CAA plaudits (four in doubles, one in singles).
He was a finalist for the Athletic Department's Athlete of the Year award as a senior and entered the ITA Mideast Region rankings at No. 15 in doubles play with partner Mike Smith during his junior season. The tandem started its senior year with a No. 46 national preseason listing in 2007-08.
He was tabbed a 2006 ITA Scholar Athlete and garnered the CAA Commissioner's Academic Award in 2006 and 2008. He also was active with the Student-Athlete Advisory Council all four years.
While a student at James Madison, Tarr started the "Day with the Dukes" event as a way to give back to the community. Each year, Special Olympics athletes interact with a variety of Dukes athletes from different sports for a fun day on campus, including a home football game. Participants receive a tailgate lunch, have the opportunity to interact with football players at Bridgeforth Stadium, attend clinics with the basketball and soccer teams and one is chosen to flip the pregame coin at the football game. Approximately 60 athletes attend the Day with the Dukes each year, a program that continues after his graduation. The psychology pear advisory group provides one-on-one buddies for the day.
Tarr received his bachelor's degree in psychology with a minor in athletic coaching from James Madison in 2008.

New Blocks & Pinging the US sensor
Steve Hassenplug has just put up two more nice custom blocks developed using the LabVIEW Toolkit. One is a block that will take the output of a NXT-G timer (a number of milliseconds) and display it on the LCD in terms of minutes and seconds. The second was developed by Steve and a wider group of folks bouncing ideas off each other. It is a bitwise logic block, that will perform binary operations on numbers (instead of just logical wires), such as performing an AND between two numbers, etc. This can be really handy for dealing with low-level things on the NXT. Visit Steve's NXT page for these and actually a whole lot of other custom blocks: line following blocks, display blocks, array blocks. Take a look. To install these blocks, you need the dynamic block update installed (there's a lot of other good updates on this LEGO page, check them out).
Another fun thing that has come out is a tutorial from Guy Ziv over at NXTasy about how to use the I2C read/write blocks to "ping" the US sensor, allowing it to be used in an on-demand fashion. He also discusses ways to access some of the deeper functions of the sensor, such as the ability of it to return not just the distance to the nearest object, but essentially the distance to the nearest eight objects. Those I2C blocks open up a lot of deep calls into the NXT digital sensors.
"and, uh, get the machine that goes... ping!"

The I2C blocks can be downloaded from the NXTasy repository (there is a link in guy Ziv's article), but I think they originated over at the Mindsensors site. They're quite handy, in that they allow me to access a number of sensors in a "deeper" way while sticking with the ease of use of NXT-G.

You have to tell the NXT-G software to install the blocks. Start up the software and open a project (a new blank one would be fine). Once the project opens, go up to the "Tools" menu, and if you have the dynamic block update installed you should see an option to import/export blocks. Select that, and in the dialog box that follows browse to the folder of blocks you with to install, and install them (you can select which pallet to put them under as well). Note that once you have a list of block to install in the dialog box, you need to select the blocks form the list that you wish to import (you can import all or just some of them, if you choose).

Yes, when i try that the search for blocks just comes up with nothing. Ive installed the compass and colour blocks before fine, but these two are different. Thanks anyway.

Yeah, Ive tried it to. It doesnt give you a folder to download, it just gives you a single file. And, it seems as if you cant import single files.
- Mar 3, 2007, 10:51:00 AM
You download a zip file. Open this zip file, click on 'File' > 'Extract All...' > 'Next' then note the path to the folder (directory), click 'Next'. For IIC Read a IIC_Read folder is created and IIC_Write for IIC Write. In NXT-G run import/export tool, browse to the folders you just created (you can only import one at a time).

Also, make sure that the name of the folder has not been changed. For instance, if you download a file more than once on the Mac, it obligingly names something like 'my file', 'my file - 2', 'my file - 3', etc. Trying to import anything other than the first version will cause NXT-G to hiccup (I think), so make sure your helpful operating system isn't renaming things behind your back (possibly; I'v enot tested this as the source of all problems, but it's something I've stumbled on a few times).

Strengthening exercise is movement that makes muscles and bones stronger. Activities that strengthen muscles make them work harder. These can include pushing, pulling, and climbing. Activities that strengthen bones place weight on them during the activity. These include exercises such as running and jumping. Some activities can help both muscles and bones. For example, hiking and gymnastics can help make both stronger.
Strengthening exercise is important for kids. Stronger muscles can help prevent injury or make it easier to recover from injury. They can help a person keep a good level of body fat. Activities that build bone are especially important for children. Bones get most of their mass before and during puberty.
In general, kids who exercise tend to have:
Better heart and lung fitness
Better metabolic health
Lower levels of body fat
Fewer symptoms of depression
Better chances of being healthy adults without chronic disease
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommends that kids get 60 minutes or more of physical activity each day. They advise that kids ages 6 to 17 should make sure to get strengthening exercise on at least three days a week each for muscles and bones.
Age makes a difference. Younger kids don't need to lift weights to build muscle. Climbing, jumping, and swinging from bars in the playground can help them build strength. As children get older, they tend to have less physical activity. It's important to help older kids find fun ways to stay active. Help your child pick things that they will enjoy want to stick with. Below are some examples of activities that can suit kids of all ages.
For children and adolescents (ages 6 to13):
Climbing and swinging on playground equipment
Climbing trees
Push-ups with knees on the floor
Skiing or snowboarding
For teens (ages 13 to 17):
House and yard work
Push-ups and pull-ups
Resistance exercises using body weight
Resistance exercises with exercise bands
Rock climbing
Shoveling snow
Yard work
For children and adolescents (ages 6 to 13):
Games that involve running and chasing
Hop scotch
Hopping and skipping
Jumping jacks
Jumping rope
Sports such as basketball, volleyball, tennis, and soccer
Aerobic exercise classes
Field hockey

By the dawn of the 1900s, the bicycle market was choking on its own success. At that time, there were hundreds—some say thousands—of bike companies in the U.S. alone. While the cycling phenomenon was a relatively new worldwide craze, the intense competition between bicycle retailers, manufacturers, wholesalers, and distributors in the American market meant the bar for products was constantly rising—and that brands were becoming ever more valuable. As a result, the American Bicycle Company (ABC) was formed as a trust (this was before the days of Taft-Hartley Act) in a desperate effort to control competition, supply, and prices. When ABC eventually failed, the companies left standing swallowed up thousands of bicycle brands. Pope Manufacturing (America's first large bicycle maker) and Schwinn had acquired close to a thousand bicycle brands just between them, and needed to distinguish each one, leading to an explosion of head badges in this market. The upshot of all this competition for recognition was essentially what collectors refer to today as the bicycle head badge.
Today, people usually make the mistake of looking at a name on a vintage bicycle badge and concluding that the name was the actual manufacturer, or that the name contains a deep meaning. But most often these two conclusions are dead wrong. To better understand the history of bicycle head badges, it is necessary to understand how the bicycle market developed and why brand names evolved as they did. It all comes down to retail marketing.
Head badges began as a way for a manufacturer to identify their products, and sometimes to set models apart. But, eventually, these brand badges were raised to a high art, particularly in the United States. Badges included imaginative names, themes, elaborate designs, and techniques. Some were pressed or acid-etched metal (brass, copper, aluminum, zinc, stainless steel, silver, even gold). Some included precious stones like diamonds or rubies. Some were molded plastic. Some were mere water transfer decals. Some were beautiful inlayed cloisonné. Some were celluloid. Some—particularly during World War II, when there were restrictions on metal—were merely painted on. Like the high art on the covers of many historical bicycle catalogues, head badges took on their own persona. They inspired fanciful dreams and auras.
One thing became obvious in the American bicycle business: When it came to marketing, no one wanted to toss out a perfectly good brand with a matching reputation and loyal customers. So, the various manufacturers, distributors, and wholesalers continued to use names that no longer had a parent manufacturer. The practice snowballed in the 1920s and 1930s, when most of the market was aimed at youngsters. With an imaginative badge, you weren't merely riding a bicycle any longer. You were piloting a Zephyr or a Whirlwind, or commanding a Silver King. You were a cowboy, or a space ranger, or a Disney character. Before long, there were thousands and thousands of bicycle brand names.
Sadly, with few exceptions for the Asian and European markets, the heyday of the head badge ended by the close of the 1970s. Today, the once-mighty bicycle head badge is commonly reduced to a basic decal or Mylar sticker. But the old originals are once again prized. They now live on in collections–even if no longer attached to the wonderful machines that they once so proudly announced.

Demonstration Project With Poly-Tech Santa will feel at home in his winter outfit when he skates onto the Cantiague Park Indoor Ice Rink during the Christmas Skate Party scheduled for Saturday, December 20. The admission fee of $1 for adults and 50 cents for children under 18 will permit Nassau skaters of all ages to enjoy the ice from U a.m. to2:30. p.m. Saint Nick will dispense holiday greetings to all and candy canes for the children as he zips around the rink. While the Christmas Skate Party is in full swing, Girl Scout Junior Troop No.29J will be outdoors decorating the Cantiague Christmas tree at 12 noon, followed by Christmas carolling. The public is invited to join the scouts in holiday festivities. Nassau County has filed a request for $157,835 in federal funds for a solar energy research project, County Executive Ralph G. Caso announced today. The solar heat demonstration unit would be set up on the third floor roof of the County Executive Building at 1 West St., Mineola, under a sub-contract with Polytechnic Institute of New York. "One purpose of this project is to gather test data on the application of solar energy in the Long Island area," Caso said. "The information and findings will be shared with other researchers, with industry and the community." The request for the grant from the U. S. Energy Research and Development Administration has been forwarded to Washington through the Nassau General Services Department Bureau of Energy Resources. If approved, the estimate is that the solar energy system could be functioning in less than two years. Its first phase would be supplying hot water and space heating to the fourth and fifth floors of the County Executive Building. Next it would supply supplementary heat and air conditioning for the entire building. The proposal was prepared by the energy bureau and Dr. Richard S. Thorsen, head of the Mechanical Engineering Department of Polytechnic and energy coordinator for the institute. Under the plan, Polytechnic would provide engineering and test services as a subcontractor in the amount of $65,430. The rest of the federal funds, $92,405 would be used for equipment, installation and preparation for the project. The plan would be to install 170 solar energy collector panels on the building roof. Dr. Thorsen explained the collectors are black-surfaced, glass-covered plates three by six feet. Heat is trapped within them and picked up by water being pumped through. Via lines carried from the roof to the building basement, this water goes to a storage tank. A coil through the tank is in turn heated and that heated water would go into the building's domestic heat and hot water system. The same system would be used for the summer air conditioning to supplement the present oil-fired absorption system. This joint effort will be made to prove that solar energy can be effectively applied on Long Island," Thorsen said. "This demonstration project has special value here in Mineola- - in the northeastern U. S.- - where sunshine isn't constant. Harnessing solar energy hasn't evei been a problem- The storage and practical use of it, however, is the technology which must be proven." Nassau General Services Commissioner Francis E. O'Connor, who is the county's energy coordinator, will be designated the project director upon ERDA approval. Dr. Thorsen and his staff from Polytechnic will provide the engineering services and county heating and ventilation technicians will attend the system's functions. Caso said this project is closely allied with the Long Island-wide effort to have the planned federal government Solar Energy Research Institute (SERI) located here. "I have made a committment to the all-out effort to bring that n~*:"^al energy cffsrt to a location on Long Island," Caso said. "The U. S. Energy Research and Development Administration is soon scheduled to issue its request for site proposals on what will be our nation's first solar energy laboratory. A vast campaign, headed by Polytechnic, to bring this project to the Northeast is underway on many levels. "Long Island has every necessary resource to support the location of SERI here, and we have it in abundance. We have the communications systems, the transportation, the financial community, the essential work force, suitable space and architecture and every other thing necessary. We also have the center of population required and unquestionably we have a tremendous shortage of natural fuel resources." SERI, approved by Congress last year, would establish a national laboratory for research in solar energy dedicated to development of technology and the transfer of it to practical uses. SERI is to be budgeted at $50,000,000 per year beyond construction costs and it is expected it would provide some 1,400 jobs in the community. SOLAR HEAT PROJECT.. Viewing an artist's rendering of the proposed solar heat demonstration project for which Nassau County is seeking federal funds are, left to right, County Energy Coordinator Francis E. O'Connor, Nassau County Executive Ralph G. Caso, Dr. Richard Thorsen of New York Polytechnic Institute, and Robert Sellers, executive secretary of the Long Island Association which supports the application. The county has requested $157,835 for the solar energy project to be installed on the third floor of the County Executive Building in Mineola, under technical direction of Polytech engineers. Town Clerk Warns: Don't "Dog It' On New Licenses Oyster Bay Town Clerk Ann R. Ocker has announced t*»»t residents Ishould have received forms of renewal of dog licenses by now and has urged that they "don't wait until the last minute and file immediately before the December 31st deadline." Mrs. Ocker said that completed forms, accompanied by the proper fee, for all dogs harbored within the unincorporated areas of the Town should be sent to her office at Town Hall, Audrey Avenue, Oyster Bay, N.Y. 11771 at the owner's earliest possible convenience. ''Dog owners are encouraged to m*ke sure that the renewal forms are v v completed, including an induction of the appropriate fee and sex in the upper left-hand corner," Mrs. Ocker stated. "The fact that anyone owning or sheltering a dog must obtain the license and tag serves to protect both the owner and animal," Mrs. Ocker said. "The tag serves as an identification in the event the animal strays or is injured, and the license verifies ownership." (Continued on Page 4)

Navigon 40 Plus
Great lane assistance and brilliant POI features
Slow boot up times and signal catching
The Navigon 40 Plus is a 4.3-inch, mid-range satnav (the 70 series is the top-end of this range with a slightly larger 5-inch screen) that comes with full European maps. So what makes this device different from the satnav you've currently got stored in your glove compartment? The key selling points for the 40 Plus are its Active Lane Assistant and its one-click menu which gives you an immediate overview of your designated points-of-interest.
The Active Lane Assistant is a very useful feature indeed, especially if you're the type of person that often finds yourself in the wrong lane and having to squeeze in at the last minute; subsequently annoying the scary-looking Eastern European truck driver, who has been on the road for 90 hours solid with only a photo of his Mum back in the old country to keep him company.
It is a dynamic animation that comes up on the right-hand side and the lanes that you should be in are clearly marked. It comes up nice and early too, so you've only really got yourself to blame if you do end up angering Vlad. You also get a nice clear picture of the road overview when a motorway is splitting, giving an incredibly clear instruction of what path it is you should follow.
The one-click overview function lets you push the screen to see details regarding your three favourite points-of-interest categories. You can choose your categories from a list of 72 in total and, for just the UK, there are 214,521 different locations all loaded up. And, if that's not enough for you, then you can add your own using CSV files and the Navigon software. POIs can be clicked whilst you're on route allowing you to take a detour - handy if you need to stop for petrol, or you've got a massive craving for a Filet-o-Fish.
Talking of routes, these are very easy to program into the 40 Plus. The touchscreen is very responsive and the menus are simple and clear. Once you've programmed in your destination (via an address, a POI or coordinates) you are shown an overview map of your location to destination with three different options, all colour coded. You're told the mileage and the estimated time for each route, and so you're not constrained to a set route - you do have choices.
There is a sightseeing feature built-in to the device as well, where an eye icon will pop up en route and, when pushed (by the passenger, of course), you get a little bio of a nearby interesting location, such as a historic house. It's a bit of a novelty - but it can be a nice distraction during a long, boring, journey. Text-to-speech is included, which makes directions much clearer as you're often told locations you should be heading towards and actual road names.
The traffic aspect of the 40 Plus comes by way of the RDS-TMC system using an FM radio connection which is built into the 12v connector. The TMC system is always a bit hit-and-miss (with any device it has to be said) and we didn't find the Navigon 40 Plus to differ from this. The traffic features feel as if they've been squashed in for the sake of it really, they are in no-way comparable to a live premium service, the sort that TomTom will offer you for a fee.
The Navigon 40 Plus has Bluetooth 2.0, which allows you to link two mobile phones up at the same time, which is handy if you've got a work and a personal phone.
The downside of the 40 Plus model (compared to the Premium offering) is that there are no 3D visuals on-board such as buildings or city blocks, although we're a tad dubious as to the usefulness of these features anyway. Sure it might be useful to see what buildings look like if you're lost in a city-centre for example, but as the 40 Plus has a number of business logos included on the route maps, you'd have to go some way to lose your bearings with this device on board.
It's hard to pick an obvious flaw with the 40 Plus, there are a number of little issues such as the one-click menu's phantom appearances at random times, or the fact that the narrator finds it difficult to pronounce any address with the number 30 in it, but if we had to pinpoint its most serious flaw, we'd have to go for the slow start up time. The boot sequence is very drawn out and it does take a while longer than many other comparable models to get a satellite signal. You can still plan your route and so forth whilst it is looking for its satellite hook-up, but it is a bit annoying if you're in a rush.
Overall, the Navigon 40 Plus has to be classified as a very decent mid-range sat-nav. If you're looking for a satnav that offers you a wealth of extra features, and you don't mind paying a bit more than you would for entry level models, then the 40 Plus may well be the device for you.
Its touchscreen is a doddle to use, the menus are clear and precise and the Active Lane Assistant and the POI options are brilliant additions. It also looks pretty swish, and the arm and cradle are very minimal and won't take up much space in your glove compartrment.
Battery life, once fully charged (it got us all the way from London to Nottingham without conking out) is very good and the multi-route option is a very nice touch. We also think the Navigon 40 Plus would make a superb first-time satnav for someone looking to make the transition. The setup options are a walk in the park and even the biggest technophobes would be able to operate it with ease.

Yeah, people who leak secret documents are in big demands in corporate America... think about it.
even the scenario you allude to, the hiring of hackers after they get caught is an old practice, not really being done any more. because frankly they get better hackers with actual morals and ethics from the schools and universities today where they get trained for that kind of stuff. Hacking isn't what it used to be 10+ years ago.
then you dont read the news haha

ok. so, you can enable Aero Glass in the leaked RTM... but it doesn't draw correctly. simply change ColorizationGlassAttribute to 2 in regedit.
the window will distort the moment you move it. screenshots don't capture this. so, I took a photo: http://i45.tinypic.com/28jzn20.jpg
(I added entries ColorizationGlassReflectionIntensity ColorizationOpaqueBlend to the DWM directory in regedit, but they aren't necessary to replicate this result.)

FWIW on that front, and depending upon what you're trying to do: you can switch to a high contrast theme.
Posted 14 August 2012 - 18:52
I will say it once again, even the high contrast themes in Windows 8 is running through Aero (Desktop Windows Manager to be technical). This is a good thing. I am totally happy that DWM is always on. This is just an experiment to see if it can be turned off.

I have always liked Aero Glass since Vista - seems futuristic.
I was disappointed to see the transparency removed in Win 8.
Posted 16 August 2012 - 03:52
Posted 17 August 2012 - 01:33
I agree. I've always felt that flat, minimal UIs were the way to go when it comes to operating systems.
I love the RTM theme way more than the Aero Glass in Windows 7 and Vista. I think the new theme looks clean and unintrusive. You get to appreciate the cleanness of it and the fact that it doesn't distract you from productivity. As much as Microsoft claim that Aero was designed to be faded away in the background, Aero glass was, in actuality, a "hey look at me and see how cool I look" UI. Windows 8's UI does try to blend in the background and be nodistracting.

Warwick Studies in Globalisation
What is globalisation and does it matter? How can we measure it? What are its policy implications? The Centre for the Study of Globalisation and Regionalisation at the University of Warwick is an international site for the study of key questions such as these in the theory and practice of globalisation and regionalisation. Its agenda is avowedly interdisciplinary. The work of the Centre will be showcased in this new series.
This series comprises two strands:
Warwick Studies in Globalisation addresses the needs of students and teachers, and the titles will be published in hardback and paperback.
Routledge/Warwick Studies in Globalisation is a forum for innovative new research intended for a high-level specialist readership, and the titles will be available in hardback only.

Shaving door handles is nothing new. This customization trick has been around since the 1940s. Many a custom car of the '50s and '60s shed their obtrusive-looking handles in order to gain a sleeker look. The look of a smoothed and filled door never gets old and looks good on muscle cars of any given year.
Take, for instance, this 1988 IROC-Z, my daily driver. I always wanted this look for my car, but the decision to shave the handles got a lot easier when a distracted driver plowed into the front fender. Since the vehicle needs to be repainted, this would be a good time to start carving her up.
But what if you don't want to repaint the entire vehicle. Can it still be done? The answer is yes. Filling in door handles can be performed at any stage in the vehicle's build.
The nagging question here is once the door handles are removed, how do you open the doors? There are countless kits on the market that all claim to have the best technology for keyless entry. But for a true quality system (with no plastic parts, we might add), Electric Life power window systems and accessories was an obvious choice. The solenoids in the Electric Life kit have enough pulling power to yank the teeth from an alligator; they can certainly pop open the heavy doors of a Camaro. Follow along in our article and then check out www.superchevy.com for a video demonstration of the Electric Life system in action.

"I.O.U.S.A." examines the rapidly growing national debt and its consequences for the United States and its citizens. As the Baby Boomer generation prepares to retire, will there even be any Social Security benefits left to collect? Burdened with an ever-expanding government and military, increased international competition, overextended entitlement programs, and debts to foreign countries that are becoming impossible to honor, America must mend its spendthrift ways or face an economic disaster of epic proportions. Throughout history, the American government has found it nearly impossible to spend only what has been raised through taxes. Wielding candid interviews with both average American taxpayers and government officials, director Patrick Creadon helps demystify the nation's financial practices and policies. The film follows U.S. Comptroller General David Walker as he crisscrosses the country explaining America's unsustainable fiscal policies to its citizens. Creadon interweaves archival footage and economic data to paint a vivid and alarming profile of America's current economic situation. The ultimate power of "I.O.U.S.A." is that the film moves beyond doomsday rhetoric to proffer potential financial scenarios and propose solutions about how we can recreate a fiscally sound nation for future generations.
Rated PG for some thematic elements.

Greetings people of Neowin...
As of 6:00 PM on 11/01/2012 I am a proud owner of a Canon T4i. I have always wanted to do videography and photography as a hobby.
That time has come. And I wish to seek help from SLR owner of neowin on going about picking a good mic to go with my SLR.
Budget is in the +/- $100 USD range. Any decent mic that will isolate / minimize background noise will do.

I'd rather see him without the ponytail.
No Pony
I think its pretty safe to say New Adventures He-Man will come with two heads, one helmeted and one unhelmeted, but which version of the unhelmeted head do you want, Ponytail or no Ponytail?

Not to sound like a creepy cheerleader for Uki, but it's nice to know there is at least one person on this forum who is extremely positive & friendly all the time. I don't think I could be that nice even if you paid me. If we ever give out awards for "forum member of the month", Uki gets my vote. -Mr. Shokoti
He will probably get the regular He-Man head....and I myself don't see He-Man with a pony-tail....
Recent.... Lizard Man
Wanted.... NA She-Ra, Jitsu....
Needed.... Dragstor
Oh man, did I forget to use these [sarcasm][/sarcasm] again? Sorry....
With pony tail, and hopefully a different facial expression so then we'll have 3 (Adam, He-Man, NA He-Man).
Ask not for whom MOTUC is made, it's made for thee.
If you have to disclaimer your like, then you don't really like it.
I want both...
FINALLY!! GLIMMER IS IN MY SHELF!! Now I need a Crita!! Crita is to Mara what Evil Lyn is to Teela. If we ARE getting Mara, then we NEED Crita.
I want the pony tail. Different enough from reg He-man. Glad to see it's winning.
Gaping holes in my collection: Regular old Teela, Weapons pack 1, Power & Honour book 1, SDCC artbook (maybe)
I don't think He-Man should have a pony tail but that's not the question. In this context I think the pony tail looks best, like a warrior's lock.

I'd much rather have him with a ponytail than that "Wall Street He-Man" look.

He-Man wouldn't suddenly get a ponytail, all the Master would call him Pony-boy

The MOTUC line and all its fans were taken for the ass
Let us never forget.
I'd like to see him with the ponytail, so long as it doesn't interfere with him being able to look upward.
Proud supporter of the Snake Men.
Most Wanted: Slave Girl, Crita, Lizorr, Tyrantisaurus Rex, Great Black Wizard, Darius, the rest of New Adventures.
Most Wanted Filmation: Lord Masque, Ileena, Granita, General Sunder, Teela, He-Man, Skeletor, Hordak head.
No Slave Girl? Watch us hurl!
A barbaric world without slave girls? That's truly barbaric!
Pony, of course. There's a reason why He-man's hair was sculpted separate. He can have his new do in whatever aspects of MOTU he's in, don'cha think?

Got to have the Pony tail. It is nice to have a different look...
We don't need no education...
Yes you do, you've just used a double negative!
of course pony, that's how he looks.
With would be cool...
Most Wanted MOTU Classics:
*MotU ~ Multi-Bot/Tung Lashor *PoP ~ Angella/Mermista *200X ~ Roboto/Calix *Filmation ~ Teela Na/Lord Masque
*Play-Sets ~ Snake Mountain/Fright Zone *Vehicles ~ Roton/Land Shark *Beasts ~ Night Stalker/Stridor
Going with the pony tail since it does differentiate him from the previous He-Man in some way.
I serve up lots of hot, fresh action figure reviews on Action Figure Barbecue!
"We have a Ram-Man"
Pony Tail for me too, it's what makes NA He-Man He-Man!
I'd like to see two heads for the figure. Both different from the standard He-Man head. But one w/a ponytail, one without.
Who has the Power?
I want him to come with 3 heads, helmeted, not helmeted with NA He-Man hair "Just like you remember" and Cartoon Accurate Pony Tail head. It'd give us loads of customising options! Or if he can only have 1 head, definitely the Pony Tail!
Especially in a barbarian themed toyline, we need more dudes with rocker hair!
He who dies with the most MOTUC wins!
While I'm not a fan of the pony tail, I would have no problem with the figure having one.
1974, 1975, 1978, 1979, 2005, 2008
ponytail! the more variety in these variants the more worthwhile they are..

Illegal off-road bikers pose threat to nature reserves
Last updated at 14:13, Monday, 14 May 2012
POLICE have warned off-road bikers they will be prosecuted if caught riding illegally in nature reserves.
The message comes as police crack down people taking their vehicles on to Walney's beaches and dunes.
North Walney National Nature Reserve (NNR) has reported a rise in four-wheel drives and motorbikes operating illegally in recent weeks.
Natural England's senior reserve manager, Steve Benn said: "The small numbers of visitors who carry out illegal activities that disturb wildlife by driving vehicles on the NNR need to be aware that their actions have a negative impact on the reserve and on our local and migratory wildlife."
The nearby Sandscale Haws NNR has also had a problem, with two motorcycles visiting several times a week.
Neil Forbes, National Trust warden for the reserve, has passed on footage to police highlighting the problem.
Mr Forbes said: "From what we have seen it is mostly the same two individuals but there may well be others."
He said off-roading is destroying wildlife and threatening ecosystems at a time when they are particularly fragile.
He added: "It's affecting everybody's enjoyment of the site. Even when you can't see them, the noise has an impact."
The Barrow Borough Neighbourhood Policing Team has agreed to joint patrols of the areas, with wardens to present a united front against the illegal activity.
Sergeant John McIntosh said: "It is antisocial behaviour that can spoil the reserve. We need people's help so we can put a stop to it.
"North Walney has no green lanes so any off-roading activity on the North Walney reserve is illegal, fullstop.
"For anybody who does use green lanes on other reserves, I would encourage them to drive in a considerate manner with attention and concentration given to other users of that area."
PC Karen Park said: "It's about making people aware of the problem. People just think they are coming down for a bit of fun, but they don't realise."
Anyone who witnesses such behaviour should call the police on 101.

Have your say
One man. What a brilliant piece of information that has no relevance to this article.
I dare say all those in favour of riding on public beaches also think it's OK to ride a push bike on the pavements as well?
Well it is not Highway Code section 145 prohibits it.

text: A French courtier, secret agent, libertine and adventurer, Beaumarchais (1732-99) was also author of two sparkling plays about the scoundrelly valet Figaro—triumphant successes that were used as the basis of operas by Mozart and Rossini. A highly engaging comedy of intrigue, The Barber of Seville portrays the resourceful Figaro foiling a jealous old man's attempts to keep his beautiful ward from her lover. And The Marriage of Figaro—condemned by Louis XVI for its daring satire of nobility and privilege—depicts a master and servant set in opposition by their desire for the same woman. With characteristic lightness of touch, Beaumarchais created an audacious farce of disguise and mistaken identity that balances wit, frivolity and seriousness in equal measure.
