Front office chess: Kicking gamble
Robbie Gould's calf injury forced the Bears to make an uncomfortable decision because there was a chance he could have played again this year.
Gould probably would have been kept on the 53-man roster if the Bears did not have so many other injuries. There's a good chance at least five of the seven inactive roster spots Sunday will be claimed by injured players — Earl Bennett, Tim Jennings, Shea McClellin, Henry Melton and Brian Urlacher. Michael Bush, Matt Toeaina or Geno Hayes, all of whom are injured, could join them. Another spot is likely to be used on quarterback Josh McCown.

Almost every healthy body will be active.
So the Bears decided to put Gould on injured reserve and invited five kickers, including veterans Olindo Mare, Neil Rackers and Billy Cundiff, to a Tuesday audition that lasted the better part of the morning.
First, the five were asked to kickoff. Bears special teams coaches Dave Toub and Kevin O'Dea wanted to see them handle every type of kickoff, and eventually gave them about a dozen test kickoffs.
After kickoff tests, they kicked close to 40 field goals apiece. They were tested on eight of them. The 39-year-old Mare was the only one who made every field goal, and he was signed later that day.
There will be a difference between Mare and Gould. Mare's kickoffs might be a bit shorter. Coach Lovie Smith won't have quite as much confidence in him on long field goals.
But the last time the Bears had a kicker audition, things worked out just fine. It was just over seven years ago, and the winner of the audition was a 23-year-old kid kicker named Robbie Gould.

The Auburn/Cayuga Community College Alumni Association initiated its first annual fund drive in 1991 to support its mission to serve alumni, the college community, and the community at large. Since then, interest in alumni participation has grown steadily and annual alumni support has allowed the association to sponsor and co-sponsor college and association programs and services.
To learn more about what the alumni association is and what it does, take time to read the semi-annual newsletters (hot link to most recent newsletter) or under services (hot link to services).
The association is a 501(c)(7) not-for-profit organization and is governed by a member volunteer board of directors who serve three-year terms and meet monthly. As an alum you have the right to vote and hold office as a member on the board of directors. The association's annual meeting is held each September, at which time new directors are elected.
Association funding comes from the College, the Cayuga County Community College Foundation, and from various activities sponsored by the association.
We encourage you to become a supporter of your alumni association. Your annual fund contribution defines your membership level:
- Cayugan – gift of $49 and under
- Spartan – gift of $50-$99
- Sustaining Member – gift of $100-$249
- Associate – gift of $250-499
- Patron – gift of $500-$999
- President's Circle – gift of $1,000-$9,999
- Benefactor – gift of $10,000 or more
Please note:
If your company has a matching gift program, your gift to the Annual Fund may be doubled or tripled with no further cost to you. Many employers also match contributions by retirees, directors, and employees' spouses. Ask your company's personnel office for a matching gift form and send the completed form along with your gift in this envelope.

If SSA finds the client "not disabled," the client remains eligible for P3 if they appeal the SSA determination. There are 3 stages to SSA's appeal process:
NOTE: When a noncitizen, age 65 or older, who was residing in the U.S. on 08/22/96, is denied SSI due to a finding of "not disabled," determine eligibility for Category 01 assistance. If the noncitizen meets the immigration requirements for medical assistance and all other AABD Cash eligibility requirements are met, they are eligible for Category 01 assistance whether or not they appeal the SSI denial.
The Department accepts the determination of the ALJ as final. If the client files an appeal and is otherwise eligible, authorize P3 until:
When proof is received that the client filed an appeal of SSI's decision of "not disabled" (the initial decision or at the reconsideration level), restore P3 retroactive to the month/year of the termination.
If the Appeals Council or District Court sends the case back to the ALJ for a new decision, P3 eligibility may exist. However, a new medical assistance application is required. A new CAU disability decision is not required unless the review date on the last decision is passed.

Two weeks before classes start in Tuscaloosa, players officially report for preseason practice today. It's more of a formality because most players, including incoming freshmen, have been on campus all summer participating in voluntary workouts.
The first official practice begins at 9:30 a.m. Thursday with a session for the veterans. The newcomers get their first taste of a college practice later in the day at 7:30 p.m. as part of the five-day acclimation period required by the NCAA.
In those five days, teams are prohibited from holding two-a-days with everyone participating and only shoulder pads and helmets are to be worn on the first two days. Players will hit the practice field again Friday and Saturday at 2:30 p.m.
The team will be in full pads by Sunday, when the program holds its annual fan day. Gates open an hour before the 2:30 p.m. practice at Bryant-Denny Stadium for the only in-person look fans will get at the team before the Sept. 4 opener with San Jose State.
On television is another story. The program is giving ESPNU cameras "unprecedented access into the inner workings" of the operation for a one-hour special "Alabama All-Access" set to air at 6 p.m. on August 18, according to a news release issued by the network on Tuesday.
As there were last season, there are eligibility questions clouding the open of practice in Tuscaloosa. There is still no word on the status of defensive end Marcell Dareus' status as the school and NCAA investigates a trip he allegedly took to an agent's party in Miami.
Last year, it was Mark Ingram and Julio Jones who had to sweat it out until just days before the season's first game before they were cleared. There is no known timetable for a decision in Dareus' case.
The opening of practice will be especially important for the Crimson Tide special teamers. True freshman Jay Williams will get his first shot to prove himself in the battle to replace P.J. Fitzgerald.
The first day off from practice comes Aug. 15, after a week with a pair of two-a-days set for Tuesday and Thursday. The third and final two-practice day comes on Aug. 16.

Rick's Camaros is your one-stop shop for 1976 Camaro parts. The 1976 Camaro was a Second Generation F-Body Camaro, spanning from years 1970-1981. 1976 included the Type LT Coupe, Rally Sport Coupe, and Standard Coupe. There were few styling changes in 1976, but a bright aluminum fascia panel, leather-look graining for the instrument panel, and restyled seats with vertical seam lines were added to Type LT models. In 1976, power brakes now became standard equipment, braking was improved with larger rear brake cylinders and better lining materials, and a "maximum mode" which recirculated interior air only was added to air conditioning selector panels. With Camaro production starting to climb, 1976 model production expanded to three different facilities, making the best year yet for second gen Camaros. In addition to carrying 2nd Generation 1976 Camaro parts, Rick's Camaros has parts for all Camaro models available. We have all the parts and accessories you need to help restore your Generation Two 1976 Camaro, at the best prices!

Early this month, filmmaker Theo Van Gogh was brutally slain in Amsterdam.

Hi to all ...
I am back to my beloved thread, looking for information on how to implement new certain requirements...
I have upgraded to new LiveCycle Desinger 8.1 few days ago, and still do not know all the new features.
I was requested to develop new LiveCycle Form, but this time it has to be secured by Digital Signatures or what every appropriate method.
The form has exactly 2 sections and 2 Digital Signatures:
1. The first section/part is to be filled by the Staff (let us call him the Authoring Staff).
Any one can fill the first part.
After the first part is signed, the Data Entry on the first part should be locked, and no one on Earth should be able to change the data on the first part. Only the signer of the first part is allowed to update/clear the signature but only and only of the Second part is not yet signed.
The staff should not be allowed to sign the form unless all mandatory fields and other validation logic is statisfied.
Only the Signer of the Form and special authorized staff/group of staff will be allowed to open the form. Let us call them Group01.
2. The second section/part is to be filled by special authorized staff/group (say Group02), they are basicall HR Staff (this is a secret).
The second part can only be filled if the first part is filled and signed by the Authoring Staff.
The second part can be signed only if the validation logic on the second part is true (no errors, and all mandatory fields are filled).
Once the second part is signed, the first part the the second part should be locked, and no one on earth should be able to change anything on the form.
Only the signer of the form should be able to clear the signature of the 2nd part and make any changes requried.
If the 2nd part is signed, the Authoring Staff should not be able to change anything on the form.
*****End of Requirements.*****
I have just started, and I am requested to desing the form and implement the required security in 10 days only.
Can any one please help me ?
I am doing my research now.
Thank you.
Hi Tarek:
I am really thankful to you for initiating this thread; I printed all the 50 pages of this thread and went through them over a 2 hour reading. Thanks for being not only an initiator but the major active contributor to this thread. Actually, I am not replying to your question addressed in the thread but asking for some inputs from you.
Just FYI; I have worked with LC designer 8.1 for more than a year now. I have developed a few Dynamic XML PDF forms which use ODBC connecting option to pull data from MS Access DB ( all client based) to publish the same on the PDF. This app was a 2-Tier approach.
My current requirement:
I need to develop the ASP.NET version of the same form developed by me earlier in 2008 so that I can publish this form over an IIS for everyone over the internet to use the form on-demand. I will use a .NET application to accept the Input Parameters (Request) for which the data needs to be fetched from DB and published in the PDF form (over the browser). The final PDF published in the web browser needs to be saved in a WORD document since the clients cannot afford Adobe Acrobat in every client.
My Limitations: My case is similar to all the limitations mentioned in this thread. Budget does not permit the following.
1. Cannot buy or install Adobe Reader Extension Server in the Server.
2. Cannot buy or install Adobe Livecycle Designer ES or Adobe Livecycle Forms.
3. Cannot buy or install Adobe Acrobat Pro in all the clients
4. No third party tools are allowed to be installed in the client for any export import purposes.
Only Adobe Reader 9.0 is allowed for all the clients. All clients will have MS office for sure.
My Questions:
1. My complete technical design of the data flow depends on the contained object (PDF form or plain HTML form) rendered in the web browser. The contained object should allow me to save the form embedded in the browser into Word format (saved in the client). Also the word form saved here should have editable form controls for further edits in the manual workflow. I love to use Adobe Livecycle designer since the form look and feel is absolutely great. Do you think I am just trying to waste time? I strongly feel forms are best looking in Adobe LC designer. Do you think I still can use this tool to achieve what I want?
2. Do you think I should just forget about Livecycle and design a pure Visual Studio form or MS Word Form and be done with export to word using some APIs published by Microsoft?
2. Also a question answered by you to PIRZADA from your earlier thread dated June 29 2008. You had mentioned that you were planning to develop .NET Class wrapper for the form submission, initiation and Processing. Do you have that class published anywhere? Or could you please share that to this forum.
I would also appreciate if PIRZADA or anyone like Jeff Lawrence or Vidya could comment on my requirement and suggest an approach or examine my appraoch.
Hi Kumar,
I am really happy to know that this thread was of value to you.
Here are my quick answers to your questions:
1. Use Adobe Platofrom only if the following criteria is applicable to your situaiton:
- You can afford the cost of Implementation. You can use Adobe LRES which is the ultimate solution and very costly. Or, you can use Single Adobe Acrobat 9 version and Reader Enable the LiveCycle Form on the Server and will give about 70% of the feature provided by Adobe LRES.
- You want to have a ture Paper Replacement and provide the end user with an electronic form in PDF that will take advantage of PDF Security and all the pther features such as annotations ...etc. For example, if the users does not want to save an off-line copy of the form on his PC and does not care about the authenticity of the form, then there is no need for PDF.
- Ability to use the form accross all platforms and reduce the problem of compatibility issues.
- To use Digital Signature, not only to secure the form, but to keep track of all the versions and changes made inside the PDF.
- You need to secure different parts of the form according to the authenticated user (the new requirements I posted in my previous thread). As a matter of fact, this is really a great feature, which I found a solution for.
2. Use HTML Form, aspx Form, or MS Word Doc (rendered on the client from the server), if the above criteria does not apply to you.
3. Yes, I have developed the .NET Class Wrapper, and it was really greate. This new class, not only it will make development easier, also, it will allow me to generate large number of PDFs, and cach the result in Text File (instead of String Variable), to be pushed back to the client (download via response.write) at the end. I will publish the class as soon as I am back form my vacation on 10-Aug-2009. Please send me a reminder if you do not mind.
Hi Tarek.
Thank you very much for your quick response.
Now, to respond to you...
Customer cannot afford Adobe LRES at this point of time. I must tell you, at the outset that the form I am working on is a standard form and the look and feel of it should be so close to the paper form. That is the purpose why we chose Livecycle Designer in the first place. So to answer you, specifically, YES! I want to have pure paper replacement as much as possible ( say 70% close to the original paper form). Customer is willing to live with what I give as web-enabled electronic form but I want to give my best. I know HTML form/ASPX form is anyways known options
So I want to go with what you have told in the first point. to quote you "Or, you can use Single Adobe Acrobat 9 version and Reader Enable the LiveCycle Form on the Server and will give about 70% of the feature provided by Adobe LRES." I hope this means that the I can install and use Single user Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional version (WHICH INCLUDES LC DESIGNER) at the server and Reader Enable the Livecycle form. Yes I can do this. However I need to always remember that any form shown with values on the broswer should be editable and, I should be able to save the browser form into a word document.
Now my question: Using your idea I came out with the following logic. will this logic work?
Step 1: Accept Key input params from the user using a .NET application (request object). User submits the data
Step 2: Fetch the relevant form data (data sets) from the database for the INPUT params
Step 3: Programmatically Generate instance(s) of the PDF (I call it generated PDF(s)) using the LC designer PDF form by populating the fetched data (sometimes this generation could result in a multi-page form and/or multiple instances of the form)
Step 4: Store the generated PDF(s) in a SOURCE folder inside the server
Step 5: Reader Enable the generated PDF(s) "programmatically" using the SINGLE ACROBAT 9 Professional installed in the server( This is your idea!!!!!)
Step 6: Store the Reader Enabled generated PDF in a DESTINATION folder
Step 7: Now show the browser (response object) with Reader Enabled generated PDF extracted from the DESTINATION folder
Step 8: Now from the web broswer allow save of this form into MS-Word ( how this will happen - donot know now..hmm I need to test it out)
Please feel free to criticize if any of the steps mentioned above is beyond your imagination. If I am sounding too abstract for you, please feel free to comment. I would wait for your valuable feedback. In the meanwhile let me do a Hello world run of the whole logic to test it out. Shall keep you posted.
Besides. I will, for sure, remind you after Aug 10, 2009 regarding the class you will be publish it for this group

Carolyn Stauffer has taught at the graduate and undergraduate levels at 2 higher education institutions on the African continent and holds a Doctorate in Sociology from the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa. She has lived and worked in Africa (16 years), the Middle East (17 years) and has also engaged in various short-term assignments in North America, Europe and the Caribbean. As a veteran in cross-cultural settings, Stauffer is an agile educator whose pedagogy exemplifies the integration of both left and right brain educational approaches that pervade in our postmodern and global world.
Stauffer's research interests include Intersectionality theory applications, social capital formation and enhancement strategies, and violence mitigation within intimate and domestic domains. Undergirding Stauffer's academic pursuits has been a rich tapestry of work experiences in the human service and humanitarian aid arenas. While in the U.S., Stauffer worked in the mental health field in the Shenandoah Valley as well as researching urban demographics amongst marginalized center-city communities in Richmond, Virginia. During her decade and a half in Africa, Stauffer worked under the auspices of MCC, an international relief and development organization with development and emergency assistance training initiatives that took her from the southern-most tip of the continent (Cape Town) to the outlaying eastern parts of Uganda (Jinja).
During her time in South Africa, Stauffer worked as an organizational development consultant (with NGOs and blue chip companies undergoing dramatic post-Apartheid workplace diversity shifts), in the domestic and gender-based violence field (as a senior trauma counselor and public relations officer for a rape crisis support center), and as a community development specialist (and founding member of a Soweto-based HIV/AIDS Program servicing AIDS infected or affected communities living in the informal settlements surrounding Johannesburg). Stauffer weaves the depth and breadth of these many and varied experiences into her decade of teaching.
Carolyn is married to CJP professor Dr. Carl Stauffer, and together they have had the privilege of raising two university-age children. Carolyn is fluent in Hebrew, loves dance, music and art, and enjoys all things creative, imaginative and off the beaten track.

19-year-old Airlifted to Altru After Crash in Leeds, NDLEEDS, ND (WDAZ-TV) - A 19-year-old man was injured Friday afternoon in a two-vehicle crash on Highway 2 in Leeds, ND.
By: WDAZ Staff Report, WDAZ
LEEDS, ND (WDAZ-TV) - A 19-year-old man was injured Friday afternoon in a two-vehicle crash on Highway 2 in Leeds, ND.
Brady Blazer of Leeds was airlifted from the hospital in Cando to Altru Hospital in Grand Forks. Blazer is in serious condition in the Intensive Care Unit, a nurse supervisor at Altru said around noon Saturday.
The Highway Patrol says 32-year-old Jaime Brent Snyder, of Gaston, SC, was heading east on Highway 2 from Minot in a 2007 International Semi.
At 2:30 p.m., Blazer was driving south on a gravel road in a 1995 Ford Bronco when the patrol says he failed to yield to Snyder at the intersection.
Snyder applied his brakes but couldn't avoid Blazer's vehicle and struck it in the rear passenger side. Blazer's car turned clockwise and down into the south ditch, rolled onto its roof and came to rest facing north. Snyder's semi had front-end and driver's side panel damage, but he was able to pull over to the side of the highway.
The patrol says Blazer was not trapped in the overturned vehicle. Charges are listed as pending against Blazer. Snyder wasn't hurt and both drivers were wearing seat belts.
The crash remains under investigation.

For 11-year-old Kinley, procedure brings new hope
By Nick Shepherd, Star Correspondent
A rare form of epilepsy could cost an 11-year-old Elizabethton boy his life, but a medical procedure he received recently in Memphis could vastly improve his outlook.
Kinley Whitehead suffers from Lennox- Gastaut syndrome, which causes Kinley to experience up to 200 to 300 seizures a day, and those close to him worry one of those seizures could be his last.
"When Kinley has a seizure, he cries and screams that he's in pain," said Pheba Vandekrol, co-owner of Mallard Cove Marina and an advocate for Kinley who has been trying to raise money for his treatment. "It makes you want to cry."
But doctors are hoping to relieve some of Kinley's pain. They hope the procedure will reflect or absorb most of his seizures and improve his quality of life.

SOURCE Plastic Logic
CAMBRIDGE, England and DRESDEN, Germany, February 6, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Plastic Logic, the leader in the development and industrialisation of flexible organic electronics, and Novaled, a leading company in organic electronic materials and technology for OLED applications, announce a partnership which will transform and accelerate the market for flexible and wearable displays. The companies demonstrate today at the Flextech Conference in Phoenix, AZ a truly flexible, plastic, fully organic AMOLED display. This will be the first of a series of technology demonstrators during 2014, which will be part of each company's development of partnerships to enable the market for truly flexible, unbreakable AMOLED displays - a market segment forecast to be worth over $10b by 2020 (IHS 2013 report).
The dream of wearable display technology is existing for a long time now. Making this real has needed the correct set of electronics capabilities to enable compelling and practical solutions for lifestyle, communications and fitness applications. The demonstrator heralds a breakthrough by combining for the first time a functional all-plastic AMOLED display with an industrialised turnkey manufacturing process for the backplane electronics. This marks the beginning of a new chapter for display makers searching for a path to ultra-flexible, ultra-thin, lightweight AMOLEDs, using a low temperature process which has a number of key industrial benefits, including superior uniformity, yield and hence ultimately a route to low cost solutions for volume manufacturing.
Both companies bring critical technology to the demonstration. Novaled's PIN OLED® technology enables the use of non-standard electrode materials needed for the flexible AMOLED development. Plastic Logic's fully industrialised plastic, flexible Organic Thin Film Transistor (OTFT) backplane and know-how enabled the world's first fully organic, flexible display. Such truly flexible AMOLEDs, and the increased usable screen areas they make possible, are set to power the next generation of products for the wearables market, poised to take off in 2014.
Through the OTFT industrialisation process Plastic Logic has created unique IP and a highly transferable process-flow. With an entire supply chain in place, OTFT manufacturing has now reached a tipping point in performance with leading organic semiconductor (OSC) materials suppliers, including Merck whose OSC material was used in the demonstration, now showing mobilities required to drive OLED displays. The process is compatible with existing mainstream display manufacturing operations, underpinning a new technology licensing business model. Plastic Logic has already established a partner program to work with leading global display makers and consumer electronics companies to enable flexible, plastic AMOLED supply chains through licensing and technology transfer to mass volume producers.
Indro Mukerjee, CEO of Plastic Logic, acknowledged the scale and relevance of the breakthrough, saying "Flexible electronics is a reality, already proven through the development and manufacture of plastic, bendable displays and sensors. For the first time a fully organic, plastic, flexible AMOLED demonstration has been achieved with a real industrial fabrication process. This marks the start of a revolution in wearable products, the next frontier in consumer electronics - 2014 will be the year that wearable technology starts to go mainstream."
"Novaled has been developing its leadership in the doping of OLED devices," says Gildas Sorin, CEO Novaled GmbH. "When applied to the OTFT Novaled technologies and materials will play a driving role in fully organic displays as well as in opening the fields of new organic devices."
About Plastic Logic
Plastic Logic is the recognised leader in organic thin-film transistors (OTFT) and is at the forefront of research and investment in plastic electronics. The company has industrialised the process technology and now manufactures a range of high-quality, shatterproof, ultra-thin and ultra-lightweight plastic displays.

Prince George's County homicide detectives arrested a Capitol Heights man for the homicide death of a 71-year-old Chapel Oaks woman.
On Saturday, detectives apprehended James Alphonso Ward, 46, and charged him with first-degree murder for the killing of Geraldine Joyce McIntyre, who was fatally stabbed at her home in the 1200 block of Chapel Oaks Drive, according to Police Chief Mark Magaw.
Prince George's County Police Department patrol units were called just before 3 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 9, to check on McIntyre's welfare. When Officers arrived on the scene, McIntyre was not breathing and had suffered multiple stab wounds to her neck and chest, a source said. Paramedics transported McIntyre to a local trauma center, where she was later pronounced dead.
McIntyre was living with her adult daughter, who is disabled. Her daughter was in the hospital at the time of the murder. For a few weeks before her death, McIntyre had been living alone.
At a press conference held Monday at police headquarters in Palmer Park, Maj. Michael Straughan, commander of PGPD Criminal Investigations Division, said Ward and the victim knew each other. At times, McIntyre provided Ward with food, Straughan said.
During the police investigation, police determined that Ward took a flat screen television from McIntyre's house. On Feb. 9, a resident saw Ward walking down the street with the television, and the resident quickly informed Prince George's County Police.
Police arrested Ward on other charges and on Saturday he was charged with first-degree murder of McIntyre. He is being held at Prince George's County Correctional Center on a bond-bound status.

A simple but brilliant game, Space Taxi put you in control of an intergalactic flying-taxi driver and tasked you with ferrying passengers to and from locations while battling each level's gravitational force. The acceleration of the rocket-powered cab was influenced by the spaceship movement in Atari's Asteroids, but the main idea for Space Taxi, like Kutcher's passion for programming as a whole, came from his aptitude for maths. "In high school I did a science fair project where I programmed some gravity equations in that," he explains. "It was pretty easy because [the game] loops continuously, and in each loop it just moves everything so it keeps track of the acceleration, vertical and horizontal, and in each loop it just says: 'speed = (speed + acceleration)', which could be positive or negative depending on whether you're accelerating or decelerating." He's lost us, but we trust that the program's as easy as he says. "Then, for the gravity, based on which direction I wanted it to pull, I just had a constant acceleration force in that equation," he continues. "So it's actually very easy because when you break it down into the game loop it's kind of like taking it down into the first derivative of calculus where you really just need to keep adding your acceleration to get your velocity and keep adding your velocity to get to your position. And then I varied the gravity in different directions with different strengths each level just by changing two or three numbers." Simple…
With the basic handling in place, Kutcher could concentrate on the presentation – specifically the visual design of each stage – which, surprisingly, proved trickier than the physics. "On the C64 I had to use the custom character set for most of the graphics. That's probably the one limitation I worked around, that all the backgrounds had to be done that way, so I had to get clever to make up character sets that I could re-use to make different scenes. If you look at the levels, you'll notice that similar blocks were used to make all different types of objects. I only ever used true bitmap graphics for the things that actually moved, like the taxi, the man, the big snowflakes."
And on the subject of presentation, there's no ignoring Space Taxi's most memorable feature:
its speech. In what seemed like one of the most hi-tech examples of game sound at the time,
Space Taxi actually talked. Start a level and the stickman passenger would wave at you and audibly cry out 'Hey, taxi!' to get your attention. In 1984, simple words marked Space Taxi out as a remarkable achievement and lent the game a unique charm and personality that ensured people would remember it fondly for the next 25 years.
"It seems common today. Voice recording is nothing impressive here in the present," notes Kutcher as he, rather fittingly, responds to our questions via his own MP3 recording. "But back in 1983 there wasn't an easy way to do that." A passionate engineer, as well as programmer, Kutcher built his own voice sampler from off the-shelf components. "I remember buying all these analogue-to-digital converters and built my own little circuit that could take your voice and sample the voltage very rapidly then convert it to a digital value," he reveals. "I then interfaced it into the TRS80 and eventually the C64. I basically built my own electronics that would take samples and then record the binary data, which I then played back sending a voltage to the speaker based on the voltage settings I recorded. If you varied the speed of playback, you could change the pitch or make the voice faster or slower. The C64 had a few extra built-in pieces so I didn't need my own hardware to play back the speech like I did with the TRS80. But I did use the contraption to record my own voice for Space Taxi."
Developed during a five-week college break, Space Taxi was completed in the autumn of 1983, and after receiving a soundtrack from Castle Wolfenstein creator Silas Warner, it was released to the world to huge critical acclaim in 1984. "I'm particularly proud of the magazine reviews it received," says Kutcher. "Every month, the marketing guy at Muse did a great job of getting press coverage and it received reviews in all the mags. It was nominated for a Game of the Year award by Electronic Games magazine and it received a Consumer Electronics Showcase award. I was honored but I had no idea at the time how big CES was. It's a massive show and to be one of the ten showcased games that year was a great honor.
If there's one thing Kutcher wishes he could have done better it's the marketing. "Space Taxi had the potential to be a much bigger hit. Some other games at the time sold up to 40 times more and I didn't believe they were much better. I think the timing was bad at Muse. Space Taxi was selling like crazy, but once Castle Wolfenstein came out, efforts were redirected and Space Taxi languished after that."
Though not a huge hit, Space Taxi sold around ten thousand copies in its first year, and with Kutcher netting a ten per cent royalty on the sale, he eventually earned around ten thousand dollars. "Enough to pay for a big chunk of my college fees." After Space Taxi, he worked part-time for Muse until it closed down and most of the staff moved to Microprose. "I did some programming for them and converted Sid Meier's Solo Flight: 2nd Edition to C64."
"Ultimately, I continued working for Dr Sacco who was in the field of medical software. I became a partner before leaving to grow my own company. I've been focusing on medical database software for several years now and have drifted away from games. The thing I always enjoyed was programming so it didn't really matter whether I was doing a game or software, I guess it's just the way things unfolded."
Although Kutcher moved away from games, Space Taxi remains a very important project for him. "It has very fond memories for me. It was developed in a short period of time but it had a profound effect on my career. I guess you could say I got a college education out of Space Taxi."

- Approaches to approximate the efficient and Pareto sets of multiobjective programs are reviewed. Special attention is given to approximating structures, methods generating Pareto points, and approximation quality. The survey covers 48 articles published since 1975.
- Algorithms for Time-Dependent Bicriteria Shortest Path Problems (revised version) (2004)
- In this paper we generalize the classical shortest path problem in two ways. We consider two objective functions and time-dependent data. The resulting problem, called the time-dependent bicriteria shortest path problem (TdBiSP), has several interesting practical applications, but has not gained much attention in the literature.
- Finding Representative Systems for Discrete Bicriteria Optimization Problems by Box Algorithms (2005)
- Given a discrete bicriteria optimization problem (DBOP), we propose two versions of an approximation procedure, the box algorithm, which results in a representation of the complete set of nondominated solutions by a finite representative system Rep satisfying the following quality features.
- Multiple Objective Minimum Cost Flow Problems: A Review (2005)
- In this paper, theory and algorithms for solving the multiple objective minimum cost flow problem are reviewed. For both the continuous and integer case exact and approximation algorithms are presented. In addition, a section on compromise solutions summarizes corresponding results. The reference list consists of all papers known to the autheors which deal with the multiple objective minimum cost flow problem.
- An Improved Epsilon-Constraint Method for Multiobjective Programming (2005)
- In this paper we revisit one of the most important scalarization techniques used in multiobjective programming, the \(\varepsilon\)-constraint method.
- Acquisition Prioritization: A Multicriteria Approach Based on a Case Study (2006)
- Selection of new projects is one of the major decision making activities in any company. Given a set of potential projects to invest, a subset which matches the company's strategy and internal resources best has to be selected. In this paper, we propose a multicriteria model for portfolio selection of projects, where we take into consideration that each of the potential projects has several - usually conflicting - values.
- Connectedness of Efficient Solutions in Multiple Objective Combinatorial Optimization (2006)
- Connectedness of efficient solutions is a powerful property in multiple objective combinatorial optimization since it allows the construction of the complete efficient set using neighborhood search techniques. In this paper we show that, however, most of the classical multiple objective combinatorial optimization problems do not possess the connectedness property in general, including, among others, knapsack problems (and even several special cases of knapsack problems) and linear assignment problems. We also extend already known non-connectedness results for several optimization problems on graphs like shortest path, spanning tree and minimum cost flow problems. Different concepts of connectedness are discussed in a formal setting, and numerical tests are performed for different variants of the knapsack problem to analyze the likelihood with which non-connected adjacency graphs occur in randomly generated problem instances.
- Generalized Multiple Objective Bottleneck Problems (2010)
- We consider multiple objective combinatiorial optimization problems in which the first objective is of arbitrary type and the remaining objectives are either bottleneck or k-max objective functions. While the objective value of a bottleneck objective is determined by the largest cost value of any element in a feasible solution, the kth-largest element defines the objective value of the k-max objective. An efficient solution approach for the generation of the complete nondominated set is developed which is independent of the specific combinatiorial problem at hand. This implies a polynomial time algorithm for several important problem classes like shortest paths, spanning tree, and assignment problems with bottleneck objectives which are known to be NP-hard in the general multiple objective case.
- On a Cardinality Constrained Multicriteria Knapsack Problem (2011)
- We consider a variant of a knapsack problem with a fixed cardinality constraint. There are three objective functions to be optimized: one real-valued and two integer-valued objectives. We show that this problem can be solved efficiently by a local search. The algorithm utilizes connectedness of a subset of feasible solutions and has optimal run-time.
- Hypervolume Subset Selection in Two Dimensions: Formulations and Algorithms (2014)
- The hypervolume subset selection problem consists of finding a subset, with a given cardinality, of a nondominated set of points that maximizes the hypervolume indicator. This problem arises in selection procedures of population-based heuristics for multiobjective optimization, and for which practically efficient algorithms are strongly required. In this article, we provide two new formulations for the two-dimensional variant of this problem. The first is an integer programming formulation that can be solved by solving its linear relaxation. The second formulation is a \(k\)-link shortest path formulation on a special digraph with Monge property that can be solved by dynamic programming in \(\mathcal{O}(n^2)\) time complexity. This improves upon the existing result of \(O(n^3)\) in Bader.

With low temp solar hydro-air coil heat exchangers and a tiny buffer tank you may end up using more pumping & fan power than the solar heat you'd collect. Active solar systems have to be designed carefully to really work. This is not something amenable to design-by-web-forum. With sloped glass on the roof you'd also be running a real risk of summertime steam explosions unless you provided for a heat-dump (== more pumping power wasted.)
Cheaper and more effective approach would be to build a thermal air panel on the side of the building, either thermosiphoning or using fans. See:
The air-tightness and insulation values of the building will likely need to be upgraded if you hope to get a decent fraction of your space heating energy out of solar (any type.)

The Glory of the Rails
More than any other technical design or social institution, the railway stands for modernity. No competing form of transport, no subsequent technological innovation, no other industry has wrought or facilitated change on the scale that has been brought about by the invention and adoption of the railway. Try to think of a world before the railway and the meaning of distance and the impediment it imposed when the time it took to travel from, for example, Paris to Rome—and the means employed to do so—had changed little for two millennia.
