text: I just solved my Droid Eris problem with a Droid 2. But I have a couple questions, if anyone can help out. I noticed in a couple of Moto's videos, they had the messaging app displaying a conversation as a list style instead of bubbles style--is it possible to do this in the stock app, or did they seriously record the phone using Handcent? I tried the calendar widget, but I don't like that it displays only the current day--is there any way to set the widget to display the whole month without having to go into the app to see it at that level? If not, does anyone know of a good alternative on the market? I checked out a few, but most don't take up the whole home screen. Thanks.

I have just finished a probono project with PEN and my team (that have all worked with other non profits organizations too) have all been very impressed with PEN's value to the community, and PEN's ability to deliver such impact. I have heard from so many stakeholders that PEN is a critical contributor to society. I have heard numerous real life examples from teachers, principles of schools, parents and most importantly the children that they value PENs work so much, they want PEN to be able to spread the PEN reach throughout the USA. Communities beyond the Bay Area need the PEN service in their community too!
I went to my first PEN meeting on behalf of my professional affiliation with the organization, at least that is why I thought I went. I sat in the room amongst other parents who described how a child with a learning difference affected their family. I felt so much comfort when I realized they were describing my child and my situation. The only difference was that they possessed hope and strength, qualities I did not have yet. Knowing there is an organization committed to children who learn differently, and the parents of these children, makes me realize I can have hope! I know the road I will travel with my ADD son may not be easy, but I will be supported! Thanks to the wonderful staff at PEN who have chosen to walk this road with me! Taylor stilwell
As a speech/language pathologist who supports many students with language-based learning disabilities every day, I appreciate & use PEN resources, & have shared contacts & information with my students, teachers, parents & colleagues. And - as a parent of a student with LD, I've found the support & collaboration invaluable.
I credit PEN with providing the most effective professional resources for me during critical times in my teaching career. PEN's Teacher's Education Network has provided phenomenal support regarding improving my teaching and assessment methods, as well as invaluable guidance in creating optimal learning environments for my students, particularly those with learning differences. PEN's ability to partner with parents, students, teachers, and schools in the hopes of improving education for everyone is truly remarkable.
PEN is directed by empathetic and knowledgeable individuals that successfully educate parents and teaching professionals in their quest for solutions to remediate and support learning disabilities and ADHD. They respond to all the inquiries and requests to find solutions, whether they be learning strategies, school placement, emotional support, or many varied resources. They are selfless individuals that all work countless hours to provide the help a student and the family would need.
They provide extremely reasonably priced lectures and conferences and help to change the concept of disability to an advantage in life.
Review from Guidestar
PEN is an amazing resource for both parents and professionals in the Bay Area. I often refer families to the various PEN presentations and attend many myself. PEN has provided a much needed service for our community and I look forward to sharing in future events.

Review from Guidestar
My name is David Flink and I am the Executive Director of a national mentoring program for students with learning disabilities. Hence, through my work I connect with many different organizations across America and I can say first hand that the work that PEN does in empowering families touched by LD/ADHD is second to none. They do an amazing job providing invaluable resources to the bay area from their one of kind EdRev conference to the numerous free or reduced cost lecture series to their support of student through their SAFE program. If only more communities in America had PEN, the inclusion of people with LD/ADHD in all aspects of our society would be more universally achieved!
Review from Guidestar
The Parents Education Network is an excellent resource for all professionals in learning-related fields in the Bay Area. They sponsor wonderful talks, focussing mainly on learning difficulties, from which I have learned a great deal at a reasonable cost. They have a branch for teachers which strikes me as a much-needed resource, as many teacher-training programs don't offer sufficient background on students with learning disabilities. They also offer talks from experts in the growing field of brain knowledge. To those of us in education, the more research-based information we can get, the more we are empowered to help our charges, many of whom cannot help themselves. PEN is on the first ranks of helping us achieve this.

yup just looked at the one with one of the gudaskas brothers on it and there was like 3 stories and a schload of ads. I mean i don't care if they have pictures of hot babes in there but the wetsuit stuff and the clothing....i can go to a store or online for that.... Surfer mag tends to have better quality articles than surfing mag. send letters or emails to the editor about how the content needs to be the focal point in them.

I agree with the content/ad ratio. But to be honest, if you are buying surf mags at the news stand you are an idiot. It's about 12 bucks for 24 issues if you just subscribe.
Ah. . . who am I kidding, i just let all my mag subscriptions lapse. Your right, they suck.

No need to buy mags when all the surf news is on surfline a day after it happens.
magazines are junk, same stuff evey month. good article once in a blue moon. but 3 words come to mind. The Surfers Journal. if you havent picked one up, you shuld. yes they are pricey but well worth it.
Sep 28, 2011, 04:18 PM #8
they should at least put some naked chicks in them...
Sep 28, 2011, 04:56 PM #9
A subscription is a few bucks I dont know why you'd buy them individually..
Sep 28, 2011, 05:10 PM #10
And for the surfline argument.... that very philosophy is probably why the quality of magazines has become what it is.
surfer = surfing = transworld surf, for what it's worth.
Surfer's Journal is sick but it is hard to get behind them as expensive as they are. I don't often drop $12 on a magazine but when I do, It's a surfers Journal. Maybe ill look into a subscription.
ESM is ok because it's local but still over priced and full of ads. I do love 2M's work, but .. (insert foot in mouth) I can see them all on facebook.

Ten-man Rock stroll to league win
LEADERS Rock Celtic took advantage of their two main rivals' involvement in cup action to move further clear as they defied being a player short for three quarters of this game at Nafferty on Sunday to complete the double over struggling Carrick.
Aaron Mulligan was sent off mid-way through the first half after picking up a second yellow card, but Rock already held a two-goal lead at this juncture and not only comfortably held onto it but wouldn't have been flattered to have won by a wider margin.
They created upwards of four excellent opportunities after that, while goalkeeper John Rogers was called upon to make just one save of note as Carrick also finished with 10 men, with a player sent off five minutes from time.
Rock scored the all-important goals in the opening quarter. The first resulted from a free kick wide on the left by Kevin McArdle which evaded defenders and forwards alike as it flew across the face of the Carrick goal and ended up in the far corner of the net after 10 minutes.
David Ward nabbed the second when he chipped the ball over the home goalkeeper after being set up by partner Paddy Quinn 10 minutes later. ROCK CELTIC: John Rogers, Ross Quigley, Sean Watters, Paddy Reilly, Cormac McArdle, Kevin McArdle (Mark McGeown), Aaron Mulligan, Paul Gore, Gerard McSorley (David McGeough/ John Sharkey), Paddy Quinn, David Ward.

This invention relates generally to manufacturing of Micro Electromechanical System (MEMS) devices, and more specifically to, getter devices and problems caused by gettering materials within MEMS devices.
Micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) include electrical and mechanical components integrated on the same substrate, for example, a silicon substrate. Substrates for MEMS devices are sometimes referred to as dies. The electrical components are fabricated using integrated circuit processes, while the mechanical components are fabricated using micromachining processes that are compatible with the integrated circuit processes. This combination makes it possible to fabricate an entire system that fits within a chip carrier using standard manufacturing processes.
One common application of MEMS devices is utilization within inertial sensor. The mechanical portion of the MEMS device provides the sensing capability for the inertial sensor, while the electrical portion of the MEMS device processes the information received from the mechanical portion. One example of an inertial sensor that utilizes a MEMS device is a gyroscope.
The MEMS production process involves the placement of the operational portion of the MEMS device, sometimes referred to as a micro-machine, within a chip carrier or housing, which is then hermetically sealed. Getters are sometimes attached to the housing to facilitate removal of water vapor and hydrogen, for example.
Getters can however, release particles that can interfere with operation of the MEMs device. In one example, a MEMS gyroscope and other MEMS based inertial devices can be exposed to high-G forces that may cause an amount of particles to be released from the getter, and come into contact with moving components of the MEMS device.
In one aspect, a method for assembling a micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) device that includes a micro-machine is provided. The method comprises forming the micro-machine on a die, the die having a top surface and a bottom surface, providing a plurality of die bonding pedestals on a surface of a housing, and mounting at least one of the top surface of the die and components of the micro-machine to the die bonding pedestals such that a bottom surface of the die at least partially shields components of the micro-machine from loose gettering material.
In another aspect, a micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) device is provided that comprises a micro-machine comprising a die and at least one each of a proof mass, a motor drive comb, a motor pick-off comb, and a sense plate. The MEMS device also comprises a housing configured to hold the micro-machine, a cover to be attached to the housing, to form a substantially sealed cavity, and a getter within the substantially sealed cavity. The micro machine is attached to the housing such that the die shields the proof mass, the motor drive comb, the motor pick-off comb, and the sense plate from particles that become dislodged from the getter.
In still another aspect, a micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) gyroscope is provided that comprises a housing and a micro-machine comprising a die, at least one sense plate, at least one proof mass suspended a distance from said at least one sense plate, at least one motor drive comb and at least one motor pick-off comb. The gyroscope also comprises a getter comprising gettering material and a cover attached to the housing forming a substantially sealed cavity for the micro-machine and getter. The die is mounted within the cavity such that any gettering material that becomes dislodged from the getter is at least partially prevented from contacting the sense plates, the proof masses, the motor drive combs, and the motor pick-off combs.
In yet another aspectt, a method for mounting a micro-machine portion of a micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) within a housing portion of the MEMS that also contains a getter is provided. The method comprises forming a micro-machine on a die and orienting the micro-machine within the housing such that the die is between the getter and components of the micro-machine.
In yet still another aspect, a micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) accelerometer is provided that comprises a housing, a micro-machine, a getter, and a cover attached to the housing. The micro-machine comprises a die, at least one sense plate, at least one proof mass suspended a distance from the at least one sense plate, at least one motor drive comb and at least one motor pick-off comb. The getter includes a gettering material, and the cover and housing are configured to form a substantially sealed cavity for the micro-machine and getter. The die is mounted within the cavity such that gettering material that becomes dislodged from the getter is substantially blocked from contacting the sense plates, proof masses, motor drive combs, and motor pick-off combs.
Upon attachment of micro-machine 108 to housing 102, cover 104 is attached to housing 102 to form a substantial hermetic seal. In one embodiment, a cavity 126 is formed when cover 104 is attached to housing 102. Cavity 126 is first evacuated to remove any gases (i.e. oxygen, hydrogen, water vapor) within cavity 126. Cavity is then backfilled with a dry gas to a controlled pressure. Typically the dry gas is an inert gas, for example, nitrogen or argon. In another embodiment, cover 104 is attached to housing 102 under vacuum conditions, and a vacuum is formed within cavity 126. Cavity 126 provides an environment that allows components of micro-machine 108 to move freely. For example, proof masses 114 may be movably coupled to die chip 110 and therefore may oscillate within the vacuum of cavity 126.
However, the seal between housing 102 and cover 104 is typically not absolute. In one embodiment, a getter 130 which includes a gettering material (not shown) is attached to a getter substrate 132. Getter substrate 132 is then attached to cover 104. Getter 130 removes water vapor or other gases (e.g. hydrogen) within cavity 126, as is known in the art. These gases are known to permeate the seal between housing 102 and cover 104 over time and are also known to be emitted over time (into cavity 126) by the materials which make up housing 102 and cover 104. Removal of the water vapor and gases facilitates maintaining the environment within cavity 126. The gettering material of getter 130 is typically particle based, and as described above, some gettering material may break free from getter 130.
As shown in
Orientation of die 210 and arrangement of die bonding pedestals 226 also allows such pedestals to be utilized as electrical contacts for components of micro-machine 208. Referring again to
MEMS device 200 may comprise more or fewer components than described. For instance, while four electrical connections are illustrated (e.g. four pedestals 226), those skilled in the art will recognize that a MEMS device may comprise more than two contacts and/or extruding pins as well. Additionally, more or fewer members (proof masses, drive combs, pick-off combs, etc.) may be present in MEMS device 200 other than those components above described. Further, components of MEMS device 200 may comprise multiple functions. Micro-machine 208 may be any such electromechanical machine used in accordance with MEMS and MEMS based devices. In addition, alternate packages may be used as well to provide a housing for MEMS device 200. The illustrations in the Figures are intended to show embodiments for mounting a micro-machine that provides protection from dislodged gettering material rather than provide a description of a specific MEMS device.
In one embodiment, TFG 404 includes proof masses 414, motor drive combs 416, motor pick-off combs 418, and sense plates 420 constructed on a wafer. A pre-amplifier 422 may be included within housing 402 and is electrically connected or coupled to each proof mass 414 and sense plate 420 combination, for example, through die bonding pedestals 226 (shown in
In addition, an output 426 of motor pick-off combs 418 is transferred to feedback monitors 428. Feedback monitors 428 provide output signals 430 to drive electronics 432, which power motor drive combs 416. Alternatively, feedback monitors 428 may be incorporated within drive electronics 432. MEMS gyroscope 400 may also include a system power source and other operational electronics, which are not shown in
In other embodiments (not shown) one or more of pre-amplifier 422, sense electronics 424, feedback monitors 428, and drive electronics 432 may be mounted on bottom surface 222 (shown in
Motor drive combs 416 excite the proof masses 414 using electrostatic forces by applying a voltage to electrodes of proof masses 414. Motor pick-off combs 418 monitor the excitation or oscillation of proof masses 414 by monitoring voltage signals on electrodes on proof masses 414. Motor pick-off combs 418 output a feedback signal to feedback monitors 428. Feedback monitor 428 provides an output 430 which is input to drive electronics 432. If proof masses 414 begin to oscillate too fast or too slow, drive electronics 432 may adjust an oscillation frequency such that proof masses 414 vibrate at a resonant frequency. Excitation at such a frequency may enable a higher amplitude output signal to be generated. Many or all of the above described electrical interconnections may be accomplished utilizing die bonding pedestals when the micro-machine is in a flipped configuration.
While operation of gyroscope 400 is described, such operation is not likely if particles of gettering materials, for example, as described above, are released within cavity 406. By orienting the micro-machine in an upside down or flipped configuration, a secondary cavity is essentially obtained which substantially reduces probabilities of gettering particles coming into contact with components, of the micro-machine, including those components which need to be able to move freely for proper operation.
Such a flipped micro-machine configuration is further usable in other sensor based-devices. It is contemplated to utilize the flipped micro-machine orientation and method described herein in a variety of MEMS devices, including, but not limited to, MEMS inertial measurement units, gyroscopes, pressure sensors, temperature sensors, resonators, air flow sensors, and accelerometers.
While the invention has been described in terms of various specific embodiments, those skilled in the art will recognize that the invention can be practiced with modification within the spirit and scope of the claims.

The key thing is to recognize that customers today still are not going to give up the utility and comforts that they've been accustomed to. They want higher fuel economy, but they want that and everything else. So we have to find that bridge to give them the technologies that they need.
We've taken a truck and SUV plant in Michigan and we've converted it to build a battery electric vehicle, a plug-in hybrid, a full hybrid and a fuel-efficient gasoline small compact car. To be able to build all those vehicles under one roof, and get that kind of scale, we're going to get some cost efficiency through that alone. As the battery cost comes down, it's going to complete the whole equation.
What we've done with our electrification strategy is really given the customer the power of choice. So whether it's a traditional hybrid electric vehicle, or a plug-in hybrid with extended range, or a pure battery electric vehicle, you've got to have something that is going to satisfy customers and, depending on where the market place goes, have the capacity to be able to flex to do what demand is calling for.
We're in the process of migrating the majority of our gasoline powertrains into what we call our EcoBoost engines, which are downsized engines with direct injection and turbocharging. What that allows us to do is get up to about 20 percent fuel economy improvement, 15 percent reduction in [carbon dioxide]. By 2013, we'll have that across 90 percent of our nameplates.

Rhinds Early Origins

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
Faced by this persecution and the generally unstable political climate of those days, many Scots chose to leave their homeland for Ireland, Australia, and North America in search of greater opportunity and freedom. The colonies across the Atlantic were the most popular choice, but a passage there was neither cheap nor easily suffered. Passengers arrived sick and poor, but those who made it intact often found land and more tolerant societies in which to live. These brave settlers formed the backbone of the burgeoning nations of Canada and the United States. It is only this century that the ancestors of these families have begun to recover their collective identity through the patriotic highland games and Clan societies that have sprung up throughout North America. Research into early immigration and passenger lists revealed many immigrants bearing the name Rhinds: Good Rhind settled in New York State in 1804.
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Diuturnitate fragrantior
Motto Translation: long-time fragant.

Our Story
The story of Mrs. Pickles™ began over a century ago, when Great-Grandma Toots learned her mother's secret pickle recipe. Grandma Toots carried that recipe with her from the southern United States to Tacoma, Washington, where she shared her recipe with beloved generations to come. The recipe is so tightly held, that I had to wait seven years, until I married her Great-Grandson, DJ, before I was entrusted with the coveted process!
Our family lovingly refers to her—in spirit and fond family memories—as Mrs. Pickles™. Whether complementing a meal or straight from the jar, we hope you enjoy her pickles as much as we do, and create as many joyful memories for your family as it has for ours.
Happy Crunching,
Aly Cullinane

It's nice to see that some things don't change.

Greek actor Andreas Voutsinas from "The Producers" and drama coach to iconic Hollywood stars Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty, died Tuesday in Athens, aged 77, a former colleague in Paris said.
The Khartoum-born Voutsinas learned his trade in New York, where he entered in 1957 the Actors' Studio, the drama organisation that specialised in method acting set up by "On The Waterfront" director Elia Kazan.
Over a career that combined cinema and theatre, Voutsinas starred in some 20 films, including "The Producers" and "The Twelve Chairs" directed by his friend Mel Brooks.
In his first play in the United States in 1960, Voutsinas directed a young Jane Fonda, and he went on to stage a host of classic and contemporary theatre works.
Drama coach to classic film stars, also including "The Graduate" seductress Anne Bancroft, Voutsinas moved to France in 1968 and two years later set up his own dramatic arts school.

Association of Community Cancer Centers Honors Eight Cancer Programs for Their Innovations
ROCKVILLE, Md.—The Association of Community Cancer Centers (ACCC) has announced the recipients of the 2012 ACCC Innovator Award, sponsored by GE Healthcare. The award honors member programs that have exhibited forward-thinking strategic planning and developed pioneering programs and replicable models. ACCC is the leading national multidisciplinary organization that sets the standard for quality care for patients with cancer.
"The eight ACCC Innovator Award winners represent diverse regions of the country, cancer programs of all sizes, and institutions with varying levels of resources," said ACCC President George Kovach, MD. "They all share the commitment to enhance cancer care in the community, empower their staff and their patients, and promote transformational change."
ACCC 2012 Innovator Award recipients will be recognized at the ACCC 29th National Oncology Conference in San Antonio, Tex., October 3-6, 2012. These innovators will share their creative solutions and outstanding programs with meeting attendees. Both ACCC and GE Healthcare will highlight these innovative programs to oncology care providers as well as to the broader healthcare community across the country.
The following cancer programs will receive the 2012 ACCC Innovator Award:
Abbott Northwestern Hospital, Virginia Piper Cancer Institute, Minneapolis, Minn.; Mercy & Unity Virginia Piper Cancer Institute, Unity Hospital, Fridley, Minn.; and United Hospital, Cancer Care, St. Paul, Minn.

A significant number of Americans have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia - a majority of them women over 30. Do you believe that menopause affects the condition and/or should drive the treatment options?
sort by best latest
I had an amazing experience. I went to the Doctor, had a test and it said I had not begun menopause. A week later the test was done by a DOctor, I was post menopause? I had Fibromyalgia and it bothered me a lot. Sense menopause and a much needed Divorce I have fewer issues with it. I think stress does cause it to flare. On weeks that I have a stress overload I do wake up with noticeable signs. Movement sure helps. After I'm up awhile its better.

somehow most doctors don't seem to tie the two conditions together. Which leads to another question, what natural ways can you address fibro symptoms?
There is a medicine for Fibromyalgia. It is call Lyrica. You can get it with prescription. It is a chronic muscle pain cause by active nerves. Injuries in your back affects your nerves or some medicine that people take and affects the nerves. It is sad.
You can help the HubPages community highlight top quality content by ranking this answer up or down.
Unfortunately that can be a very controversial drug. It comes with some serious side effects. I do sincerely appreciate the advise but am curious as to whether anyone has every discussed or investigated a link between the two conditions.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg delivers the keynote address at Facebook's F8 Developer Conference on April 18, 2017 at McEnery Convention Center in San Jose, California. The conference will explore Facebook's new technology initiatives and products.
But in 2016, Facebook released an update to its terms of service that raised the possibility of linking accounts from both platforms.
"By coordinating more with Facebook, we'll be able to do things like track basic metrics about how often people use our services and better fight spam on WhatsApp," the messaging firm said in a blog post at the time.
"And by connecting your phone number with Facebook's systems, Facebook can offer better friend suggestions and show you more relevant ads if you have an account with them."
But the Commission said that contrary to Facebook's statements in 2014 saying it wasn't able to link accounts, the U.S. firm was aware that such a possibility existed.
However, the fine will not impact the EU body's previous decision to approve the acquisition.
"The Commission at the time also carried out an 'even if' assessment that assumed user matching as a possibility. The Commission therefore considers that, albeit relevant, the incorrect or misleading information provided by Facebook did not have an impact on the outcome of the clearance decision," a Commission statement read.
It added that Thursday's fine is unrelated to any ongoing national antitrust or data protection issues that may arise following the update that WhatsApp rolled out in 2016.
Facebook said that to the best of its knowledge, the information it provided was correct.
"We've acted in good faith since our very first interactions with the Commission and we've sought to provide accurate information at every turn. The errors we made in our 2014 filings were not intentional and the Commission has confirmed that they did not impact the outcome of the merger review," a Facebook spokesperson told CNBC by email.
"Today's announcement brings this matter to a close."

Kearney Looks to Find a Sister City
Kearney is looking to establish a "Sister City" relationship in the next several months.
Representatives for an organizing committee, "Kearney Sister City," led by retired UNK Director of International Education Jerry Fox and retired physician Ron Scott, presented the concept to the Kearney City Council at its Jan. 22 meeting.
"Kearney Sister City is a terrific opportunity for our community," said Fox. "Sister City relationships are much more than goodwill. This type of partnership offers Kearney many educational and economic opportunities."
Kearney Sister City has found two potential partners: Opava, Czech Republic and Dourados, Brazil. The committee looks to find cities similar to Kearney in size and with thriving business and educational communities.
Kearney Mayor Stan Clouse, vice chairman of the organizing committee, recently reached out to Opava officials, and there are tentative plans for Kearney representatives to visit Opava.
The Kearney Sister City organization will continue to operate with contributions made from individuals and businesses.

Sharing many memories old and new. Friendly insights and free hugs.
I am working on this scrappy quilt which has twelve 16" finished, framed 16 patch blocks. The block borders are 2" finished. I am undecided as to add one border and make it a lap quilt, or add a decorative border of some sort.
I am leaning toward the lap quilt with just adding one possibly three to four in inch border. Any suggestions??
I think it will make a beautiful lap quilt!
I think you might end up with one very large lap quilt. Try laying them out in a pattern first and get some idea how big it might be. When I had all those 18" squares with 3" borders, I found that they made a huge quilt if I put them all together. I ended up making 2 very good sized lap quilts. 16" blocks are pretty big...especially with a border.Good luck! Can't wait to see the final decision.
I think it will make a beautiful lap quilt with just the one border. I like my lap quilts to be a little bigger than the average. Maybe cause my lap is bigger...LOL>
If these aren't sew together, you could add some flying geese between your blocks and make it bigger still.
a piano key border would look good
Great suggestions!! Thanks so much!!

"Nothing is permanent, but change." ~ Heraclitus
I recently attended the Licensing Executives Society (LES) University course on Strategic Licensing: Advanced Tools and Practices. Esteemed peers from the US and Canada, case studies with twists and turns, and an experienced roster of instructors made for a very interesting and informative week – despite 8 hours a day in a windowless room!
The UNH Office for Research Partnerships and Commercialization (ORPC) recently traveled to Orlando, Florida for the 60th Annual Meeting of the Campus Safety Health and Environmental Management Association (CSHEMA) to promote our homegrown chemical inventory management system UNHCEMS®.
On June 26, Dartmouth College hosted the Annual Meeting of the NHIRC where Marc Sedam, Executive Director emphasized that the State Budget for the program increased due to NHIRC Day and the compelling metrics of job & economic impact. Board member Chris Way, DRED highlighted the efficiencies that will occur with a new implementation for managing the program finances.
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) was enacted in 1998 in an attempt to curb the piracy of copyrighted works in the new digital age. The most important provision, commonly referred to as the anti-circumvention provision, makes it illegal to circumvent a technological measure that controls access to a copyrighted work or to distribute tools for others to do so. This means it is illegal to bypass DRM or other security measures. On its face this sounds very reasonable. However, this provision has had what were, hopefully, unintended consequences on fair use.
All shipments involving infectious or potentially infectious biological materials may only be done by those with documented training.
Follow procedures outlined in the UNH Shipment of Biological Materials Manual or contact the Laboratory Safety Officer (LSO) prior to shipping any material.
It is the responsibility of the Princicipal Investigator and/or Instructor to ensure all personnel working with biohazardous materials under their guidance are trained appropriately for the work they will be doing.
The PI is encouraged to contact the BSO regarding the type of training offered through OEHS.
Biohazardous waste generated at UNH must be chemically disinfected, physically inactivated, or shipped off-site for incineration following procedures in the UNH Biohazardous Waste Disposal Plan.

10,000 Small Businesses
From Wikipedia
10,000 Small Businesses is a philanthropic initiative launched by Goldman Sachs in November 2009 that pledges $500 million in various aid to small businesses. The initiative aims to provide 10,000 small businesses with assistance — ranging from business and management education and mentoring, to lending and philanthropic support. The program was launched in the face of mounting criticism over Goldman Sachs' large bonus payouts after repaying (with interest) $10 billion in TARP funds it received from the U.S. Treasury.[1] According to the company, the small business initiative had been in development a year before the initial launch, and is modeled after its 10,000 Women Initiative, which helps educate female entrepreneurs in 18 countries.[2]
Assistance plan
Under the plan, Goldman will provide $200 million to pay for small-business owners to get business and management education at local community colleges and elsewhere — the first program being at LaGuardia Community College in Queens, New York. Additionally, the program allocates $300 million in loans and grants to small businesses.[3][4]
Networking and mentoring will be offered through partnerships with national and local business organizations, as well as employees of Goldman Sachs.[5]In addition to Goldman CEO Lloyd Blankfein, Berkshire Hathaway's Warren Buffet and Harvard Business School professor Michael Porter will chair the program's advisory council.[6][7]
Selection criteria
The plan would target companies employing at least four full-time employees and with revenue between $150,000 and $4 million in the most recent fiscal year.[7] Eligible companies have to have been operating for at least two years and work "predominantly in underserved markets."[6]
The initial partner institutions and organizations include establishments in both academia and nonprofit sectors.[8]

Awful News
By Kyle | August 7, 2012
Mark O'Donnell, who wrote the book for "Hairspray" and other shows, has died suddenly in his Upper West Side building. Mark was a top-flight comedy writer who nevertheless, pre-Hairspray, used to tell me he was "destitute" and was glad to write brief (and hilarious) book reviews for me when I was an editor at People magazine. I was glad when he struck it rich but it's stunning to learn he's gone so soon. He was a sweet and kind man. I stopped by his Riverside Drive apartment once to drop off a book I needed him to review on deadline — and this picture looks like the building as I recall it. Meaning he didn't move to a fancy place even after writing one of the biggest Broadway hits of his era.

"The Newsroom" Debuts
By Kyle | June 24, 2012
In my Sunday column, a look at Aaron Sorkin's new HBO show "The Newsroom." Yes, I devote a lot of space to destroying one of his contentions, but I could have gone on in the same way for thousands of words. (Jonah Goldberg's "The Tyranny of Cliches," for instance, has already debunked a lot of this stuff.) Alas, the Post is not going to print a special supplement for my views on Aaron Sorkin.

Asked why he blew off a "Family Guy" script meeting, Seth MacFarlane (couldn't he behave a bit better, at least temporarily, while a reporter was tailing him?) first told The New Yorker it was "because I don't get vacations" (I wonder if the legendary fact-checking squad assessed that fact) and once worked for "fifteen months, seven days a week" (ditto). Then he changed his story:
"It's a regular occurrence for me to step outside my daily activities and contemplate things like the flow of time. We perceive it as moving from one direction to another, but who's to say it doesn't move in the other direction?"
Pretty deep for a guy who makes his living off ass jokes. But how professional should we expect the guy to be? He only gets $38 million a year. For $39 million, maybe he'd put some effort into his job.
This would be perfect for Private Eye's "Luvvies" column on the musings of showbiz folk.

Naked Emperor News
By Kyle | April 25, 2012
I'm speechless at Obama's attempt to shoehorn a policy issue into a musical comedy sketch. This is the guy whose most unassailable attribute is that he's supposedly cool? The man obviously cannot do comedy. He's been a public figure for eight years and I'm not aware of him ever spontaneously being amusing or witty. Most of his one-liners ("I'm LeBron, baby, I got game, I can play at this level," etc.) aren't even close to being quips but are merely bizarre manifestations of his grandiosity. Every president is to some extent stiff when doing the musical-comedy chat-show rounds (and John Kerry was cringingly awful on "The Daily Show") because their pomposity and self-regard makes it hard for them to lighten up, but Obama is so stiff and weird here that he makes Jimmy Carter look like a regular guy. He makes it sort of impossible for him to ever use the phrase "dignity of the office" and he trivializes his own student-loan proposal.
I'd say this is as bad as Dukakis riding around in a tank. Obama's coterie clearly is unaware of the fact that he isn't good at everything or they would have vetoed this idea. Romney, by the way, should be wary of getting sucked into trying to be a comedian because he isn't one either. There's nothing wrong with sitting on a couch with Leno but high-concept stuff should be avoided for the same reason you don't try on a silly hat.

The New "Office"
By Kyle | April 18, 2012
There's a funny show on BBC2 that's sort of like "The Office" with MBAs all around. It's a satire of corporate buzzwords set against an organizing committee for the London Olympics. The show is called Twenty Twelve, and according to The Sun (I couldn't find it online) such phrases as "It's virtually a virtual front door" are catching on. Some other cute neologisms:
assmosis: gaining success by kissing up to the boss.
mucus trooper: sickly co-worker who insists on showing up for work when he shouldn't.
mouse potato: someone who spends all day surfing the Web instead of working.
thought grenade: explosively good idea.
FUD: Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt. Use as verb to influence perception by releasing negative info.
wombat: staff member who is a waste of money, brains and time.
seagull manager: boss who swoops in, craps on everything, then leaves.
boss-spasming: lurching into action to try to look busy when the boss appears.
flawsome: Brands that are honest about their flaws, making them appear more human.
SoLoMo: Social, Local, and Mobile.
Likeonomics: that people want to do business with brands they like.
blamestorming: meeting where you try to find someone to blame for your mistakes.

More on Lena Dunham's "Girls"
By Kyle | April 10, 2012
As I said before, I hugely enjoyed the first three episodes of HBO's "Girls," which stars and is being run and directed by twentysomething Lena Dunham, whose debut film "Tiny Furniture" I loved a couple of years ago. I don't think the show is particularly groundbreaking — it's basically "Sex and the City" in the age of saggy Obamanomics. (And we do have to credit SATC for combining sex and smut in a fresh way. It really was a revolutionary show, and a very funny one, particularly in the first couple of seasons before it started to get a bit soapy.)
But "Girls" is endearing and sharply written and has a genuineness about it, even if the intentionally off-putting sex scenes . . . put me off. More on the show's development in The Post.
A contrarian view: a young colleague at The Post argues the show is annoying because the girls think ordinary non-glamorous work (like waitressing) is beneath them and are living off their rich daddies. The background of the actresses is much along these lines: the Beautiful One is Brian Williams' daughter, while The Sweet One is David Mamet's.

Lefty Toasts Breitbart
By Kyle | March 6, 2012
A nice story about Seth MacFarlane, the "Family Guy" guy, sharing a nip from a flask with Andrew Breitbart at Bill Maher's show. Makes me like MacFarlane more, though I can't really handle all the cheap shots on his show. (Though the Star Wars parodies are very good.) Question: Is the frenzied nature of political debate going to make extinct these kinds of across-enemy-lines gestures and close friendships, like the famous one between ski partners John Kenneth Galbraith and William F. Buckley? It's kind of hard to picture Paul Krugman and James Taranto going skiing together (though I'm sure Taranto would leap at the chance).

Partners at UK law firms in France are expected to suffer under the burden of rigorous new tax laws designed to close loopholes for international firms.
The UK-France Tax Treaty, signed by both countries in January 2004, sews up a range of tax loopholes that can see French resident partners of international firms pay little or even no tax.
It is understood that independent French firms, led by Gide Loyrette Nouel, were key in lobbying for the changes amid growing frustration at the lack of a level taxation playing field. A number of major UK firms are believed to have opposed the changes. Gide declined to comment.
According to one tax expert, the new treaty effectively removes a series of tax benefits which are "well known and heavily used by people in law".
David Anderson, a partner at tax consultancy Sykes Anderson, said: "The current treaty affords people considerable tax advantages, which often amount to total exemption from tax both in England and France. There are numerous tax advantages under the current regime which are simple to use and are widely exploited by people in the know."
Chief among these advantages is the exemption from French tax of certain types of income and capital gains. These allow French resident partners of UK firms to take advantage of low or nil rates of tax under UK domestic law by claiming UK tax, or no tax, on worldwide income.
The new treaty, which has yet to be ratified and incorporated into domestic law by the UK and France, replaces the 1968 UK-France Double Tax Treaty and will come into force by 2006. The status of UK limited-liability partnerships is unclear under the proposed regulations.
One French tax expert said: "The new treaty will substantially reduce the competitive advantage of UK firms in the French market."

Ticketed For NOT Riding In The Bike Lane
New York City cyclist Casey Neistat got ticketed $50 by the NYC police for riding outside the bike lane - which may in fact not be illegal, but tell the officer and judge that.
Neistat is a movie maker, so he took the opportunity to illustrate the hazards of riding legally. Casey films a very comical portrayal of enforcing the "ride only in the bike lane" apparent law in New York City.

We have added a confirmation check when doing a bulk check-in. We've had a few customers accidentally check-in people.
Built By Runners For Runners
We have added a confirmation check when doing a bulk check-in. We've had a few customers accidentally check-in people.
We have added several options to the web version of Check-In (not the native Check-In App):
All of these are configurable in the Customization page on the Race Dashboard.
When a race gives a timer "Timer Access", the timer now has the ability to access the Check-In App setup. Yes, we probably should have done this earlier 🙂
We have a series Customer Case Studies, in which we take your stories and share your challenges and successes as a learning tool for other RunSignUp users. This Case Study focuses on RunSignUp Race Websites, the Referral Program, and the RaceDay CheckIn Mobile App.
Tony Sapp is the owner of Negative Split Productions, and 50% owner of Houston Race Series, LLC, a collaboration with Aaron Palaian's Onurmark Productions. Houston Race Series, LLC owns and operates the Run Houston! Race Series and the Bayou City Half Marathon Series.
The Houston Race Series Races were moved over to RunSignUp from another registration platform in June of 2016. In their short time on RunSignUp, they have taken advantage of a number of opportunities afforded by RunSignUp's comprehensive suite of tools.
Negative Split Productions takes full advantage of the customization options for RunSignUp's free websites, with 3 key results: (1) keeping runners informed, (2) reducing customer service, (3) maintaining brand integrity. They achieve this is a few ways:
"Managing your registration has worked out really well for us – it's an education process, but getting people to do it on their own is a really big time saver. It reduced the amount of work I had to do to answer emails, etc." – Tony Sapp
The Run Houston! Race Series is using the RunSignUp Referral Program in a creative way by branding it as a "Run Houston! For Free" Program. In their pilot test of the program, they are offering a $10 refund every time a runner gets 5 runners to register with their referral link. The results from their first try:
In spite of a late start to the program (registration was not opened on RunSignUp until June, and marketing for the Run Houston! For Free program kicked off shortly before the race),
Referrals brought in 122 registrations with only $60 of refunds given. Each registration acquisition cost the race only 49 cents.
Over time, they will watch the ROI and if the program seems to stagnate, may try increasing the amount of refund given.
Previously, check-in for races was done by downloading a participant list, assigning bib numbers, and using a google sheet for check-in. Runners would need to know their bib number to check in quickly.
With the RunSignUp Mobile App, the race sent out QR codes for each registrant to speed
check-in. With 60-70% of runners bringing their code and a simple search option for the remaining runners, a single volunteer was able to check-in almost 500 runners in the first 90 minutes of packet pickup.
In addition to speed, the check-in reports made it quick and easy to predict the number of runners who still needed to pick up bibs on race morning, and helped the race to staff volunteers accordingly.
If you have a success story about your race, store or club, big or small, email us
…we'd love to explore a Case Study on your topic!
Google recently announced that they "will be removing support for packaged and hosted apps from Chrome on Windows, Mac, and Linux."
We will be removing the RunSignUp CheckIn Chrome App from the Chrome Store by the end of September, 2016. Note the web version of this app will continue to be available.
The new RaceDay Native App on Android and iOS remains our strategic direction and should be the preferred choice for customers wanting to do check-in with our technology.
Note the big feature the Chrome App had was printing. This means we will not be supporting printing in our Check-In apps. We have not seen a large interest from customers in this feature, and we have seen a lot of instability in supporting printing from the base technology of the operating systems for apps – for example the Chrome App.
We have released a new version of the RaceDay CheckIn App on Apple and Android. We made major improvements to memory management and searching to improve performance for large 10,000+ person check-in environments.
This update also included some other minor improvements based on user feedback like an improved warning if bib number is not entered (and is set up as being required).
This release also updates to our new RaceDay Go logo and branding.
We have another new version of our Check-In App that runs as a native app on Apple and Android. This joins our long available Online Check-In App and our more recent Check-In Chrome App. For those counting, this is our 4th Generation after our initial Check-In App in July, 2013 (yes, life moves pretty fast at RunSignUp). Here are the major differences:
Online Check-In App: Good if you want instant syncing with the Cloud Database. Since it is just a web browser app, it needs fast and consistent Internet access. We see many running stores using this for smaller packet pickup for races.
Check-In Chrome App: Good for when you have inconsistent Internet, with some nice new features around label and receipt printing. See the Hardware Requirements here.
Native Mobile Check-In App: This is our latest release described in detail below.
Built-In Camera Support. Phone cameras can be used to read bar codes and QR Codes that are sent to runners. The QRCodes read in under 1 second so you can check-in people fast. And it reads your participants phones as well.
Fast Check-In. Send your participants the confirmation numbers in QR Code and barcode formats with our free email system. Then when they come to your event, check them in fast with the built in camera support. Here is a quick video example:
Waiver Signatures. Participants who have not signed their waivers can sign the phones and tablets you use for check-in. Here is an example:
You need to download the app to your phone or tablet first. Search the Apple or Android store for RunSignUp and select the Check-In App.
Once it is installed, you will see a list of races. You need to set your race to be accessed by the Check-In app by setting a password (we do this so participant data is secure). Once you set a password and appropriate dates, you will see your race appear in the Check-In App. Enter the password and you will have access on that device.
Once you are in a race on the App, click on the menu button at the top left to configure the App. There are a number of options including the Quick Check-In reviewed in the video above. Another important top level option is Locking the App – this prohibits participants and volunteers for changing the settings. Simply enter a PIN to lock it (and unlock it).
There are a number of options for configuring the Check-In App under "Settings". Here is what it looks like on an iPad:
Once you set your phone/tablet up, you can save it as a Preset to the RSU Cloud, and then other devices can reuse the setup:
The Check-In process is pretty simple. Find the participant and press the big green Check-In button. If something is missing like Bib # or Waiver, those pages automatically appear. You can watch the video above to see those examples.
This makes the Check-In app very simple to use for volunteers.
To review the process:
And of course, you can see the reports on how the check-in is going:

Kevin Frie, development lead for core parts of the CLR recently posted about what CLR updates that come in 3.5 SP1....
- NGen infrastructure rewrite: the new infrastructure uses less memory, produces less fragmented NGen images with much better locality, and does so in dramatically less time. What this means to you: Installing or servicing an NGen image is much faster, and cold startup time of your NGen'ed code is better.
- Framework Startup Performance Improvements: The framework is now better optimized for startup.
- Better OS citizenship: We've modified NGen to produce images that are ASLR capable, in an effort to decrease potential security attack surface area.
- Better 32-bit code quality: The x86 JIT has dramatically improved inlining heuristics that result in generally better code quality, and, in particular, much lower "cost of abstraction".

ŠKODA has commenced testing a fleet of 10 electric Octavia Green E Line for electric traction in everyday operation. The test aims to increase practical experience with electric propulsion. The Octavia Green E Line is the automaker's first purely electric automobile. It is based on the Octavia Combi. The fleet is used to provide essential insights for advancing the development of electric power in vehicles, focusing on making it suitable for mass production. The modular chassis of the mass production model is suitable for holding the battery, electric motor and electronic controllers.
The electric motor provides a peak power of 85 kW as well as a maximum torque of 270 Nm immediately from the start -- ideal for inner-city driving. The Octavia Green E Line, which seats five people, accelerates to 100 kph from a standstill in only 12 seconds, with a top speed of 135 kph.
The car's electricity comes from a lithium-ion battery, which weighs around 315 kilograms and holds 26,5 kilowatt-hours in energy. It has a 150-kilometer range, which satisfies the demands of most commuters in Europe. The battery block is attached under the middle and back floor panel, and in part in the boot.
Dr. Eckhard Scholz, board member in charge of research and development, added: "ŠKODA and the entire Volkswagen Group have a long-time aim, and that is sustainable mobility based on renewable energy sources. There is no doubt electric propulsion is becoming more and more important for mobility with as low emissions as possible. Working as we are with our Group partners, we think we are making very good progress."
When it comes to the amount of space, the Škoda Octavia is in a league of its own. Having an interior length totaling 1,782 mm, knee room is at 73 mm with the back offering headroom of 980 mm. These proportions more than prove that it is indeed setting new standards for the compact segment. The new Octavia also has the best boot volume in its class at 590 liters.
When compared to the second generation Octavia, the new model has other dimensions in the interior increased as well. While the head room in the front is larger by 8 mm, the elbow width in the front has an extra 39 mm with the rear elbow width having addition 26 mm. The increase in the interior space and that of the rear seats are mainly due to the increase in the wheelbase of 108 mm.
Furthermore, the exterior dimensions of the new Octavia are larger as well compared to the previous model with length having an extra 90 mm and width with additional 45 mm. According to Welsch, this new offering from Škoda delivers space that is typically experienced only in higher classes. The interior though is not only about space and function but looks good just as well.
Škoda shared that design chief Jozef Kabaň led a team that redesigned the new Octavia from top to bottom with the goal of building excitement on the first look. Indeed, everything on the inside has been redone by the design team. It is not wonder why this third-generation version is dynamic but remains to be elegant while having a refined, assured, and unique road presence.
Welsch says that each gap and line on the new Octavia shows the focus on detail and precision, making this new model the new unmistakable face for automobile circle. To sum up the interior of the new Octavia, it is all about offering a large amount of space while displaying elegance and tidiness. On the outside, particularly the front region, this is where the Škoda logo is now placed and by focusing on horizontal lines, gives it a confident and assured look.
For the rear, it also has perfect proportions in addition to showing classiness and precision. One standout feature is how brilliantly the usual lighting graphic has been implemented on the unique C-shaped lighting curve.
The side is another feature where the new Octavia shows more dynamism unlike that of the prior model. This is mainly due to the long wheelbase with the C-pillar being pulled further back and the overhang in the front made shorter. Aside from emphasizing its coupe-like profile, the sharp and high tornado line gives the Octavia a look as if being stretched.
There is also a new feature called the fin, which is the dynamic and upswept window line on the doors in the rear. While small, the concept is effective as it gives the model a sense of direction and a stronger appearance.

To compete in a global economy, new generation students must continue their education beyond high school. To make this expectation reality, students must utilize their opportunity to choose the best colleges through an entrance examination. An entrance examination is a process through which any educational institutions select best deserving students for admission;hence, the competition is tough. Here lies the functional difference between a board exam and entrance exams for admission to college and universities..
Now how to prepare for this test? Well, you start where and whenever you can get an
opportunity. As the competition is getting tougher with days, a lot of hard work is required. Thus, entrance exams have become a dependable method for talented, intelligent students as their fate doesn't depend only on their board exam marks. However, it is tougher than the boards.
So the sooner you start your preparation the better. It may become a bit of a juggle for students if they have to prepare together for both the boards and the entrance exam. Therefore, effective monitoring is necessary. This is where joining a good test prep institute comes into the picture. Though there is no substitute for hard work, a test prep institute with ample experience can help you identify your weak areas, make you practice regularly, consistently monitor your progress, and help solve doubts whenever you get stuck.
In most of the entrance tests, the exam mode is in objectives. So this requires a dedicated practice and revision in a continuous process. Moreover one has to learn the strategy of taking an objective test with time constraints. So, fundamental preparation is always effective. Work on those parts that are fundamentally weak. Analyze the marking pattern for the exams that you're appearing for. Negative marking means you must select questions you think you can answer, with care.
College entrance tests measure your knowledge and background in your writing, verbal, mathematical and scientific ability. College entrance exams don't measure what you've learned in high school. Instead, it tests how prepared you are to do well in college. You can prepare by taking practice exams by which you'll get the idea of what questions will come out and the question formats that frequently appear. Also, you'll be able to learn how to manage your time because one thing that you'll have a hard time dealing with is the time pressure.
So, relax. Soothe admission test anxiety and stay organized by preparing in advance.

This weekend we celebrated hard because 11 is a big deal! It is his first replicated digit birthday and it's a strobogrammatic prime (same upside down as right side up)! Neither of these facts impressed him but I like to play up the fun in numbers. Another fun fact: 11 is the number of points the leaf has on the Canadian flag! #lameoldersister
After the shoes excitement, we took Philip to a local baseball diamond to play some catch and practice hitting. When we asked Philip what he wanted to do on his birthday, that was his first request. I think he was really excited to pick up some pointers from Mike. The weather was gorgeous and we all had a great time throwing the ball around!
After the park and some lunch, we headed to Philip's second requested activity: a trip to SkyZone! I had seen indoor trampoline places on TV and had wanted to go to one for the longest time. Jumping around made me feel like a kid again and I couldn't stop laughing and smiling! It was so fun and definitely a great workout. I was sweating after just a few minutes of jumping! The boys then headed over to the basketball section where you bounce your way over to a net to shoot. They both said that part was their favourite! I managed to get a few pictures from there but I still haven't perfected the art of photographing mid-bounce so pardon the blurriness! I definitely want to go back though!
Once we were all jumped out, we joined my mom for some cake and sparklers. Philip chose an Oreo cake that was so delicious! I am a huge advocate of the birthday person choosing which cake to have and he made a very good choice! I was drooling over a chocolate brownie cheesecake but that will have to wait until December when it's my turn!
I love you, Philip!
In case you missed it, here's a recap of Philip's 10th birthday!
