The latest rumors on Facebook suggest that Kate Gosselin is dating millionaire Jeff Prescott and, while the Kate Plus 8 star insists that the two are merely working on a business deal, she's not about to convince her excited Twitter followers of her single status. Kate's kids are, perhaps, even more eager to see the reality star in a relationship — they want her to get married!

Hot Or Not? Geraldo Rivera Takes It All Off On Celebrity ApprenticeJanuary 13, 2015 03:00:56 by Lisa Princ
Well, almost all of it that is, thankfully. Celebrity Apprentice viewers were shocked last night, when during a task, Geraldo Rivera decided to strip down to his underwear and prance around – you're welcome (for the image). And while it is not the first time that the 71-year-old has let it all hang out, as he posted a similar selfie back in 2013 on social media, that certainly doesn't mean we all want to keep seeing him almost nude. So, we've got to ask: hot or not?

Colts face daunting challenge to protect Luck
INDIANAPOLIS - Andrew Luck and A.Q. Shipley started getting reacquainted at Monday's practice.
The cram sessions could take all week.
While this isn't how the Colts envisioned opening the season Sunday at Denver, plugging in yet another potential new starter at center, injuries have left them with no choice.
"Going through today, taking every snap with the first group out there, he was pretty much flawless," coach Chuck Pagano said. "It's not easy, but we can help him on our end."
The Colts need all the help they can get.
Starting left guard Donald Thomas sustained a season-ending torn right quad during the first week of training camp. Starting center Khaled Holmes sprained his left ankle on the first possession of the preseason opener, hasn't practiced since, and Wednesday's long-anticipated return to practice is no sure thing, either
Seventh-round draft pick Ulrick John is expected to miss significant time with a lower right leg injury, though he has not been placed on injured reserve. Backup center Jonotthan Harrison has been out for about a week with a right thumb injury. Second-round pick Jack Mewhort, the projected replacement for Thomas at left guard, has been dealing with a sore right knee. And two of the Colts' most versatile backups, Xavier Nixon (knee) and Joe Reitz (ankle), also are out.
So when Shipley was waived by Baltimore on Saturday, general manager Ryan Grigson wasted no time putting in a claim.
Shipley, who made five starts with Indy in 2012, arrived in town Sunday evening, showed up at the complex early Monday morning and immediately was working with the starters.
"It's been an interesting weekend for sure. You go from a down, then you get an up. You find out you're coming here, then you're on a plane three hours later, and eight hours later you're back in here running reps," Shipley said. "It's definitely a whirlwind, but that's part of our business. It's what we do and I wouldn't have it any other way."
The good news is that Shipley has a relationship with Luck dating to Luck's rookie season. But if Shipley starts Sunday, it would be the fourth starting center the Colts have used in five games. That won't help with the continuity on an offensive line that has allowed 73 sacks and dozens more hits over the past two seasons.
Plus, the middle of the line might be one of the most untested in football.
Mewhort, a rookie who started at center in the Colts' preseason finale, will likely shift back to left guard Sunday. Second-year guard Hugh Thornton has moved from the left side to the right. Holmes took only 12 offensive snaps in his rookie season, Harrison is an undrafted rookie, and Shipley started nine games at guard last season in Baltimore.
None of that will make things easier against a Denver defense that spent more than $100 million to upgrade its pass rush and pass coverage
"It's a little different, especially when you're going through camp with other people and getting the chemistry down," Thornton said. "But as an offensive line, as an offensive unit, I believe in the guys we have and that we'll be cohesive as a unit."
The strangest sight Monday wasn't seeing Shipley working out with the starters, it was the folded chair inside Robert Mathis' locker.
The NFL's defending sacks champ began serving his four-game suspension for violating the NFL's performance-enhancing substance policy on Saturday. He will not be eligible for reinstatement or allowed in the team complex until after the Colts host Tennessee on Sept. 28.
So Mathis found another way to inspire his teammates.
He wrote the words "Gone fishin"' on a small dry erase board in his locker and then placed a small note on a large black-and-white photo of himself to encourage his teammates to work hard until he gets back.
"When you finally reach that day that you can't play and you can only watch, then you will know how much you love something that you once took for granted," the note read in part.
It's a message that goes well beyond the defense, and right to the heart of the gang charged with protecting Luck on Sunday.
"It felt good to get back out there with Andrew, it's just getting down the calls now," Shipley said. "I mean, terminology is terminology, and I'll get that down in the next day or two. Football is football."

Makin' good sense, BUT ....
Makin' good sense, BUT ....
I fear it will go like this:
The Feds will NOT become quickly impotent, methinks.
Or at least the centralized power structure / the people who have authority / access to the weapons. They'll likely move over to the corporate security forces mentioned in another poster's comments. In essence, feds will = corporate servants--as they already do--but it will be blatant. National security will exponentially morph into corporate/elite security--again, a process well underway (and one to which people here have alluded). Certain state governors will be useful pawns in this strategy, too. The governments of what I call "federal lackey states" will sacrifice the freedoms of their residents just for power / to be on the winning team, having been promised federal funding, etc. to get them through these god-awful economic times. (Case in point: observe how state governments have by and large been conditioned to be whores for federal money as things stand now....)
I digress. This will likely happen during a time of overwhelmingly heavy-handed martial law. Staggering. The true controllers of our hijacked government will be full of bluster while we all scramble just to survive. They won't have to hide jack squat anymore, because the few people who pay attention and who are dissentious will have already been targeted and made FEMA campers or likely worse ($385M to Haliburton for jails in '06). Plus, keep in mind, the elite plan a kill-off of the population. This WILL happen (or they'll attempt it in earnest) while they still have all the power. Bioweapons or whatever. One shudders to think. Some semi-fictional towel heads will be accused (Or more effectively, patriot groups will be blamed.). But the proverbial wind must be knocked out of the sails of our citizenry en masse. Bad economy isn't enough; we must be dealt a blow so unimaginably crushing and far-reaching that we will all comply with authority, being literally at their mercy.
The mercenaries will be used in nothing less that corporate-authorized strikes on the masses. Offensive military actions. All will be justified. There will be divided pockets of resistance and little more. Do bear in mind that the internet will be turned off. We will NOT be able to coordinate anything, as we've lost the old-fashioned abilities / means to do so. Our analog radio frequencies/channels belong to the government. All will be monitored. Those who resist will be, insofar as news and public awareness are concerned, locally—and very quietly—snuffed out. All stories will be spun by state media.
They're arming up to their eyeballs, and when federal/corporate LE, etc. folk are given the choice between starving like the rest of us or taking their pay and clamping down, they'll choose the latter. They're being conditioned to view patriots & regular ol' American folks as the enemy (I mean, sh*t, there was that FEMA training vid in which the *sshole nazi teacher [who should be publicly hanged for treason] refers to our Founders as "terrorists"!). Millions and millions of rounds... and they will be used by someone. Whether it's Xe / Academi / Blackwater-type organizations, etc. or even foreign troops... it will be nasty.
And frankly, no amount of true patriots now in the ranks will make a difference. They'll be indentified ahead of time (like right NOW on Total Information Awareness / FaceBook, etc.) and removed.
This WILL go down. No amount of awakened protesters in the street will make a difference. Christ, look at NORTHCOM. And all those crowd control weapons systems. And drones over domestic airspace. And chemical scanners on the way. No amount of public political outcry will reverse this. Militia groups will make stands but will be crushed by military might (We don't have missles or anti-aircraft or gun ships, now do we?). The elite are going to FIGHT to the DEATH for what they want; they've waited generations for this moment. That's why it is called ENDGAME. Perhaps the only chance we have to curb it is to literally carry out hits on those elites and people in control, at the very top, whom we can identify. And fast--before their security becomes completely impermeable. But who among us wants to do that?! It's insane! [And I'll probably get "Raubed" for saying it, too.... bye, y'all! TO GOV'T MONITOR: SWORN DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT ADVOCATING THIS, NOR WILL I ACT IN ANY SUCH MANNER! I AM PEACEFUL AND LAW-ABIDING (unlike you).] Plus, there are hundreds of them--or more? A couple thousand? When the first few get whacked, they'll circle the wagons and crack down. They're ready for this, too, you see. They're steps and steps ahead of us (Ha! And they've used OUR money to get there, too. Ain't that a Bee!).
I had heard stories about the possibility of good patriot infiltrators trying to recapture control of our government… coinciding with something about Tesla-esque free energy being made available, but I regret to say I don't think they are true. I mean, WTF?! It's getting too late in the game to do anything. The time to act has nearly come & gone already. So sadly I don't believe we can count on any internal coup which reinstates the Republic in any way resembling a semi-peaceful transfer of power... as much as I wish it would happen.
The best efforts will be merely reactionary. There will be much suffering.
Too much writing, and sorry to be negative. I want nothing more than to be utterly proven wrong! And I will not give in or give up; au contraire, I'd rather jump into a pit of fire than submit… but it terrifies me that I will have the opportunity… because it will definitely be like a pit of fire.
What would the Founders do?

Hooking up dipole antenna?
I want to hook up a dipole antenna to the radio in my garage. There are no provisions for the hook up. Is there any other way to hook it up? Also, I have a police scanner that quit working the other day. It scans and stops on channels but there is no sound. I also can turn the squelch all the way up and it makes no sound at all. I took it apart to make sure the speaker wires were on. That was the extent of my knowledge. TIA
You could try hooking up the antenna to the existing antenna (if there is one) or to where the antenna used to be :-)
Another option might be to open up the radio and connect the dipole to whatever internally is acting as the antenna. But if you're not comfortable around electronics I would not recommend it. You could hurt yourself or short something out. Not fun.

Best place we went to here! Great food, amazing wait staff! All around best place to go to! If your Santorini make this a must stop destination!
As with my entire experience in Greece, the people are warm and friendly. This place has a nice choice of meals that are fresh and delish! I would have eaten there again if we were there longer.
Vasili is friendly but could be a bit of a hard sell. The beef soup and fish soup that he recommended were good but also not cheap, €8 each. Other food items were good too. Some places do ask if u want bread, which usually cost u €1.6, but this place just give it to u without asking. Maybe restaurants...
Excellent restaurant, with friendly environment and staff (and Lilly the cat) :-) good dishes with great value for money. Surely it is a restaurant to be recommended!! Great service!! Keep it up!!! Love from Malta xx
Great food, good atmosphere, friendly staff and conveniently located to town. Highly recommend to try simos on your trip to santorini!
This is a lovely local taverna. I arrived in Santorini late in the evening and went here for my first meal. The wine, tzadziki and Greek salad were perfect. Vasilli is warm and welcoming. Upon returning we have had moussaka , grilled eggplant salad and chicken souvlaki . All delicious.
Very very nice Greek hot fresh food. More importantly exceptionally warm hospitality and service. Ambiance of the place is very local and the food is yum.
The staff helped us choose what to eat and it was so good. As usual, we ordered too much food cause we couldn't help ourselves. The food is so good in Greece. Great place to eat, drink, talk and enjoy Santorini.
Great authentic Greek food in abundant quantity at affordable prices. But the most remarkable memory we will always keep was Vassilis! We felt very welcome since we entered the first time and kept coming back for dinner almost every night. Recommend the beef soup, the seafood platter, the meat platter and all the rest.
Kalispera Simos, ti kanis ? I came in april and in june of 2014. You feel at home and they serve great dishes at reasonable prices. Its outside town but worth it (price and food quality).

We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
That just says that they're going to inject the DNA - it doesn't say that they're going to get viable embryos out of it.
If the half-life of DNA is 521 years how are scientists able to sequence 30.000 year old Neanderthal DNA? Presumably this applies to regular DNA, did Svante Pääbo and his team sequence mtDNA?
Why do they need to know? 10,000 years is roughly 20 half-life periods, so they should expect roughly 1-millionth of the DNA to remain.
Since the wooly mammoth genome is approximately 4.7 billion in 58 chromosomes, for an average of 81 million base pairs per chromosome, the DNA fragments would be, on average 81 base pairs long, which should be enough to figure out the original sequence after duplicating and matching. So a full reconstructed mammoth genome should be possible.
One of the best ways to make it happen is to declare it's "impossible". It gives people something to strive for.
Even more importantly, this ignores a previous published article on "DNA Sequence from Cretaceous Period Bone Fragments" -- Science 266 (5188) 1229-1232, here is a PDF [myweb.dal.ca] of the article in Science. Either 80 mya (Cretaceous) is horribly wrong, the 521 year half-live of DNA is horribly wrong, Woodruff, et al were horrible deceived (or frauds) or some combination of these.
You would hope evidence would be the deciding factor, but scientists are human too, and the interpretation of evidence is often more important than the actual evidence -- it is very hard to upset to prevailing opinion (as it should be when the opinion is well founded)
Simplicity does not precede complexity, but follows it.

The love life of Taylor Swift is one that seems to be never ending, as she has had a number of high-profile relationships since she became a global superstar. Taylor is now believed to be dating One Direction star Harry Styles but it seems that the relationship might not be all it seems.
It has now been suggested that Taylor Swift is only using Harry Styles in an attempt to make her ex boyfriend Conor Kennedy jealous. It is said that Taylor is still very much in love with Conor and is hoping that his jealousy will convince him to take her back.
An insider told the British magazine Grazia, "It wouldn't be surprising if this fling with Harry is all about Taylor trying to win Conor back. She still seems really into him. Taylor is still hung up on Conor. She says they only broke up because of her work schedule and his commitments."
Taylor Swift and Conor Kennedy became very close while they were dating and Taylor won over the Kennedy family, who all had nice things to say about the singer. Taylor Swift and Harry Styles had a fling earlier in the year and now appear to have reignited their romance.
Do you think Taylor Swift is using Harry Styles to make Conor Kennedy jealous?

R2integrated lands investment from Dallas firm
- Staff Washington Business Journal
Baltimore-based R2integrated, which has an office in Vienna, has received an undisclosed investment from a Dallas firm that it plans to use for acquisitions, the Baltimore Business Journal reported.
R2i officials said the investment from ORIX Private Equity will help grow the digital marketing firm into a $100 million company in the next three to four years. The company's current revenue is north of $20 million. R2i, led by CEO Matt Goddard, plans to build the company through acquisitions across the U.S. and internationally.

Starbucks is updating its iPhone and Android apps to simplify mobile payments and enable customers to leave digital tips.
Starbucks is updating its iPhone app to allow customers to tip their baristas directly from the app as well as to shake their phones to pay for their coffees.
As of March 19, the brand says customers using the Starbucks App for iPhone in the U.S., U.K., and Canada will find "a streamlined design and easy access to their [accounts] and My Starbucks Rewards information."
In addition, customers will also find the option to leave a tip at more than 7,000 company-operated stores in the U.S. Customers with the Starbucks iPhone app who want to leave a digital tip will have to enable push notifications. They will then receive the option to provide a $0.50, $1 or $2 tip.
In addition, to simplify mobile payments, Starbucks says customers will be able to bring the barcode of their Starbucks Card front and center by simply shaking their mobile device - a feature Starbucks rep Maggie Jantzen describes as "fun and convenient."
While digital tipping is limited to the U.S. for now, Jantzen says Shake to Pay will be available in other markets.
To pay with a mobile device, the Starbucks app for iPhone displays a barcode that can be used like a Starbucks Card. Consumers hold the mobile device in front of a scanner on the countertop and scan the app's on-screen barcode to make a purchase.
Customers can also access their Starbucks accounts using Passbook, which allows their mobile Starbucks Cards to appear on their iPhone screens automatically after they enter Starbucks stores.
Starbucks expects to introduce an update to its Starbucks for Android app, including a digital tipping feature, later this year.
It was not immediately clear whether the Shake to Pay feature will be available for Android users as well.
Jantzen says Starbucks initially launched its apps in 2011.
According to Starbucks, digital tipping has been a top suggestion on MyStarbucksIdea.com, an online community for consumers to "share, vote, discuss, and put into action ideas on how to enhance the Starbucks Experience" that launched in 2008.
Shake to Pay, however was a feature the brand thought "would be something convenient and easy," Jantzen says.
Other MyStarbucksIdea.com innovations include Starbucks' splash sticks, Jantzen adds.
"With more than 11 percent of transactions a week now happening with a mobile device in our stores, and nearly 10 million customers currently using our mobile app, we're thrilled to make the digital experience even easier and more rewarding for our customers and partners," said Adam Brotman, chief digital officer for Starbucks, in a statement.
That 10 million figure accounts for worldwide mobile users. Jantzen did not have a figure specifically for U.S. mobile users.
Starbucks says it offers mobile payment options to customers at nearly 14,000 locations worldwide. The Starbucks apps for Android and iPhone devices are available in the U.S., Canada and the U.K. Square Wallet, an app that enables customers to pay with iPhone or Android devices, is also available, but to U.S. customers only.

Electric cars, transit, school meals, art subsidies
The summer meals program was designed to fill the nutrition gap when school is out and children no longer have access to lunches from the National School Lunch Program. The current economic downturn has resulted in a growing number of San Diego families experiencing financial distress, including our military families. In addition to city Park and Recreation centers, summer meals also provided at several Navy centers.
Children from throughout our city are benefiting from the nutritious meals provided by the program.
In addition, the summer program brings funding into San Diego Unified and the community. The program gives work to hundreds of district employees who otherwise would not have jobs over the summer when schools are closed. The district purchases milk, bread, produce, supplies, etc., for the meals from local businesses, providing additional economic activity in our community.
Making sure children have the proper nutrition throughout the entire year is part of the district's mission. -- Gary Petill, director, Food Services Department, San Diego Unified School District
'Thank you, Supervisor Pigtrough'
The In Depth article about the San Diego cultural institutions could easily have fallen into the Watchdog category ("Arts groups blooming in harsh economic climate," June 16). The taxpayer subsidy of these activities varied from a low of $1.30 per ticket at the North Coast Repertory Theatre to the high of $8 per ticket at the San Diego Opera. For the opera, private contributions calculate to more than $59 per ticket to the opera, compared with the $57 per attendee in earned income from ticket sales.
In light of this, what possible excuse is there for a governmental contribution? The answer may lie in the event program. While waiting for a performance to begin, I look through the contributor list to see who helped pay for my ticket. The one name I have never seen is the San Diego County Taxpayer, although prominent is the "contribution" by Supervisor Pigtrough.
The total was "only" $3.6 million, but the private contributions dwarf this amount. Surely there is a better use for this money that is related to the function of government. -- Jim Mallen, Lake San Marcos

Butler service, personal chefs, private pools and rooftop decks—if these are a few of your favorite things—Caesars Entertainment Las Vegas Resorts has something new to make your most extravagant VIP demands become a reality. And like a custom tailor, they'll make sure you can choose a Sin City suite or villa that's exactly your style and size from a 700-square-foot love pad, to a massive 11,000-square-foot mansion in the sky so large that you could misplace a Lear jet.
Previously offered for $15.5 million, Buffalo Creek Ranch near Lake Tahoe in Nevada seems like the perfect refuge from city life—meaning this needs to be your vacation home. Plus, the ranch was designed to pay homage to the wild west, with a Jack Daniel's-themed train depot, a fully-restored 1923 caboose poker parlor, and a firehouse with its very own 1962 fire truck. Basically, it's an eccentric millionaire's dream.
When thinking about Las Vegas, most can't help but picture the iconic Fountains of Bellagio dancing in choreographed motion against the backdrop of the grand five-star hotel. Everything about the award-winning Bellagio Resort and Casino screams opulence—from its Conservatory & Botanical Gardens to its fine art gallery, Michael Mina restaurant and "O" Cirque Du Soleil show—the resort is one-of-a-kind.
I recently went to Las Vegas for a girl's weekend getaway. And upon return, friends kept asking what the best part of the trip was. I'm a little embarrassed to say that it was the food, only because we had amazing accommodations, enjoyed our fair share of poolside libations and ended our nights dancing in the city's best clubs. Yet, those things will always be a part of the Vegas experience.
Las Vegas is endlessly busy; the constant noise of slot machines buzzing in casinos, young party scenesters hitting pool parties and nightclubs, and travelers joyfully snapping shots of the bright city (with drink in hand) on their smartphones—it is always alive with excitement. While these are some of the reasons people visit, it can also be pretty draining.
As the rare Italian, blueberry-infused beer slid flavorfully to the back of my throat, the cicerone for Public House at The Venetian in Las Vegas described the undeniably unique and especially bold flavors of the aptly named My Blueberry Nightmare. Hints of oak barrel aging and a spicy kick from hot chili confused my taste buds unlike any beverage I've ever experienced before. Imagine expecting a semi-sweet brew only to be confronted with a savory bitter flavor followed up by a punch of heat and a tart blueberry finish. It was nowhere near what I expected, yet I ended up thoroughly enjoying the new combination of tastes, which now stands as a perfect analogy for my entire trip to Las Vegas.
Las Vegas is getting a little bit classier come August thanks to the opening of the SLS Las Vegas Hotel & Casino by sbe Entertainment Group. Known for their chic European décor and elegant furnishings, the SLS brand is opening its third property on August 23 on the grounds of the previous Sahara Hotel & Casino. But the SLS won't be a stuffy hotel by any means, the resort aims to compete with The Strip's hottest hotels by offering a spacious casino, vibrant pool parties, alluring nightclubs and trendy accommodations.
The brand new all-suite Delano Las Vegas, an outpost of the legendary Miami luxury resort, is set to open on September 1 in place of what had been THEhotel at Mandalay Bay. A partnership between Mandalay parent MGM Resorts International and Morgans Hotel Group, it represents the first extension of the Delano brand.
Slated for an opening in 2016 at the same time as the new 20,000-seat arena on the Las Vegas Strip, MGM Resorts International will be installing a park that will link together Monte Carlo and New York-New York. In name, a "park" on the Strip might sound like a far-too subdued place for the surrounding area, but, as Vegas goes, The Park isn't going to be anything like the playground-toting grassy acreage of land near your home.
The Palms Casino Resort is now offering its guests a full 24 hours before having to check out. As a Las Vegas hotel, there couldn't be a better place to offer this kind of program considering the proliferation of time lost and afternoons that suddenly turn into nights for travelers.
Caesars Entertainment has been building this luxury boutique hotel on the Las Vegas Strip for a while now, but they only recently revealed its name: The Cromwell. Being touted as the first standalone luxury boutique hotel on the strip, its location means it has a lot of expectations to live up to. But, from what Caesars has announced so far, it doesn't look like the property will have any trouble with that.

RECIPE: Need to lower my cholesterol without losing weight
I just found out I have high cholesterol. I am not overweight, if anything a little underweight. Any suggestions on how to lower my cholesterol but at the same time maintaining my weight? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I weigh 270 pounds and have a cholestrol level of 138. My LDL is within normal range. My LDLs were high and my cholestrol was over 200. I also had irritable bowel syndrome. For the bowel syndrome, I began eating a LARGE (I cup dry, 2 cups water) bowl of oatmeal every evening. My doctor attributes the drop in cholestrol to my steady diet of oatmeal.
jkrall - Thanks for the info on oatmeal. I'm not a big fan of oatmeal cereal, so I'm trying oat bran muffins (recipe is on the oat bran box). I read that if you eat 3 of them a day it will help with cholesterol. So far I'm eating 2 a day and will work up to the third one soon. Actually they're not too bad if you mix in blueberries, just very filling.
You could take 3-4 tablespoons "LECITHIN" a day. It really works. You can buy the granules at a health food store. My husband once had 250 count and in 3 months it was down to 170 by taking this. It can tolerated in tomotato juice. You MUST take this much to make it work. It is a food from the soy family. Completely safe to take. Good luck!

ABNORMAL SITUATION MANAGEMENT IN PETROCHEMICAL PLANTS: CAN A PILOT'S ASSOCIATE CRACK CRUDE? Edward L. Cochran, Ph.D. Chris Miller, Ph.D. Peter Bullemer, Ph.D. Honeywell Technology Center 3660 Technology Drive Minneapolis, MN 55418 Abstract Abnormal Situations comprise a range of process disruptions in which petrochemical plant personnel must intervene to correct problems with which the control systems can not cope. Preventable losses from abnormal situations cost the U.S. economy at least $20B annually. The Abnormal Situation Management (ASM) Joint Research and Development Consortium (Honeywell, the seven largest U.S. petrochemical companies, and two software companies) was formed to develop the technologies needed to allow plant personnel to control and prevent abnormal situations. The Consortium is working on a NIST-funded, 3.5-year, $16.6 million program to demonstrate the technical feasibility of a collaborative decision support system (called AEGIS) for helping operations personnel deal with abnormal situations. Many of the issues faced in the development of AEGIS have also been faced in the research and development of associate systems for military aviation domains, especially the U.S. Air Force's Pilot's Associate (PA) and the U.S. Army's Rotorcraft Pilot's Associate (RPA. Honeywell intends to apply associate technologies as vigorously as possible to the ASM problem. The two domains have a number of features in common, which we hope will permit significant technology transfer in both directions. This paper describes the similarities of and differences between the technical and organizational domains in which Abnormal Situation Management and the PA and RPA systems must operate, and assesses the issues thus raised. Finally, we describe our approach to resolving these issues and assuring successful demonstration of the feasibility of associate technology in this new domain. The ASM Problem Preventable losses from Abnormal Situations—unexpected process disruptions—cost the U.S. economy at least $20B annually—about half of that in direct losses to petrochemical companies themselves. Petrochemical plants use distributed control systems to simultaneously control thousands of process variables such as temperature and pressure. The human role in process control is to monitor these highly automated systems, maintaining situational awareness in order to make accurate and timely control decisions while avoiding information overload. Increased demands for higher efficiency and productivity in these industries are resulting in tremendous increases in the sophistication of process control systems through the development of advanced sensor and control technologies. However, these sensor and control technologies have not eliminated abnormal situations and will not in the future. Consequently, operations personnel continue to intervene to correct deviant process conditions. As petrochemical plant automation technology increases in sophistication, operators are faced with increasingly complex decisions. As in aircraft, the consequences of an error—an overlooked anomaly, a nonoptimal response, or a delayed reaction—is always Acknowledgment: This effort was in part supported by the NIST Advanced Technology Program, Award 70NANB5H1073 to the Abnormal Situation Management Joint Research and Development Consortium. associated with a cost, and can ultimately contribute to catastrophe. Unlike most combat aircraft, however, the operator rarely has personal and immediate access to the complete set of information or control actions which s/he may need to make a decision and effect an action. Operators work in teams with maintenance and field personnel, coordinating their movements around the plant site to confirm gauge readings, operate valves, investigate leaks, etc. Field personnel in turn make the operator aware of conditions which may not be readily apparent at the central console . Sufficient information and resources are usually available to support appropriate and timely responses, provided the operations team is able to identify the problem and develop an effective, coordinated response. While the pressure to make real-time decisions is usually (but not always) somewhat more relaxed than it is in combat aircraft, operators may have to deal with far more information, presented in far more detail, and which develops slowly over longer period of time. Sorting out relevant diagnostic information and making appropriate decisions is at least as difficult as it is for the military aircraft pilot, and the worst case consequences of an error (in terms of losses in property and human life) are, unfortunately, also comparable in scope. The persistent paradox in supervisory control, regardless of the domain in which it is practiced, is that as automation technology increases in complexity and sophistication, operations professionals are faced with increasingly complex decisions in managing abnormal situations. In the industrial processing domain, the problem is aggravated because of the need for the coordination of multiple operations personnel, and because the sophistication of user support technologies has not kept pace with the task demands imposed by abnormal situations. Thus, collaborative decision support technologies must be developed to significantly improve abnormal situation management practices. The Abnormal Situation Management Joint Research and Development Consortium, led by Honeywell, is engaged in is a multi-year effort to develop a system to provide collaborative decision support. This Abnormal Event Guidance and Information System (AEGIS) can be thought of as an associate system for petrochemical operations, and is indeed motivated by many of the same issues that drive the work on Associate Systems: advanced sensor integration and interpretation to support improved situation assessment, automated planning assistance to provide help in addressing abnormal situations, information management to support increased situational awareness and avoid information overload, adaptive aiding to improve the effectiveness of the operators actions and to free him or her from mundane tasks in order to focus on functions which only the human can do. AEGIS must ensure that operations personnel receive information appropriate to their needs, while at the same time enabling appropriate members of the operations staff to collaborate to solve the problem as a team. Individual needs vary as a function of a large number of variables: the current situation, the task being performed, individual preferences and styles—and others yet to be determined. In order to serve these needs, we need to carefully assess the information requirements, not just for the current job functions present in existing plants, but for the job functions that will evolve as better decision aids become available and operators receive more support. Many of the issues faced in the development of AEGIS have also been faced in Pilot's Associate (PA) work over the past ten years, and Honeywell intends to apply PA technologies as vigorously as possible to the ASM problem. Our initial approach to seeking opportunities for technology transfer involved comparing the problem domains these programs are attempting to address. Comparing Problem Domains Some key comparisons between the problem domains of AEGIS and PA systems are summarized in Table 1. The most significant differences between the domains are due to the number of users, the predictability of the problems to be encountered (especially, the effectiveness of potential solution attempts), and the variability of the hardware being supported by the supervisory control system. Number of users While the PA program concentrated on providing associate-style assistance to a single pilot in an advanced fixed-wing aircraft, and the RPA program is developing an associate to aid both members of a dual-crew attack/scout helicopter, successful transfer of the associate approach to AEGIS will require us to extend the approach to cover a geographically dispersed operations team of perhaps dozens of individuals who must work collaboratively to solve the problem. Characteristics of the problems typical of the domain The problems encountered by AEGIS aren't oppositional—they don't intelligently resist solution, and so the anticipation of countermeasures is not required—but they are challenging nonetheless. Process upsets can arise very slowly (over a matter of hours, days, or even months) and they may similarly require a long time to resolve. The processes are often too complex to model, and are therefore poorly understood and difficult to predict in an empirical sense. Finally, the sheer scope of processes makes the enumeration of potential problems difficult: the number of physical variables, their interactions, and the unpredictable influence of dozens of operations personnel ensure that problems continually occur which have been unanticipated by the process engineers as well as the operators. Variability of hardware to be supported We will have to be able to create, rapidly and at low cost, as many unique associate systems as there are petrochemical installations, because no two plants are alike—they're not even very similar. And, we will have to support a variety of process control technology and software, from that installed ten years ago to systems now on the drawing boards. Do these differences matter? While the differences associated with the problem domains listed in Table 1 and described above seem significant, they do not all affect the design of the solutions to the same degree. For example, while the problems faced by Associates in their respective domains have different characteristics, they raise similar issues for Associate designers: How do we construct a system to be helpful to users when we do not understand the problem thoroughly, can not predict the specifics very well, and can not ensure that unforeseen aspects of the problem space will render the Associate useless in some specific scenarios? Similarly, while petrochemical plants are more variable in their configuration than military aircraft, that variability isn't the only relevant aspect of the problem space to consider: Process plants produce the same products day after day, but aircraft are used for a diverse set of missions. Domain Characteristic Number of primary users Autonomy of any one user Pilot's Associate/RPA 1 or 2 Very high ASM (AEGIS) 5 to 15 Limited Physical variables to monitor Critical time interval for decision Ability to methodically enumerate possible problems ahead of time Ability to predict outcome of various solution attempts Typical user education/training Understanding of problem physics ahead of time Acceptance of new technology Level of current technology Level of integration required Homogeneity of user population Homogeneity of equipment Homogeneity of activities Typical duration of continuous associate usage Acceptable initial cost of system Computational resources Frequency of associate intervention in user activity Autonomy of associate 100s Seconds to minutes Limited by enemy, perhaps 25% Limited (enemy actively thwarts solutions) Unequaled Very Good to Excellent Good Very good to excellent Extremely high Very high High Moderate 2-12 hours $10M? Limited by space/weight available and/or bandwidth continuous in mission pilot is in charge 1,000s - 10,000 Seconds to hours Limited by combinatorial expansion Good (limited by unpredicted failure cascades) Varies Good (Limited by complexity) Poor to Excellent Fair to very good Extremely high Not dependable Nonexistent High Continuous $10K-$1M?? Limited by cost Sporadic. Mostly in Abnormal Situations (4X per week?) Must vary according to situation, company and supervisor policy, and operator preference. Table 1. Comparison of AEGIS Problem Domain with those of PA and RPA Thus, by focusing exclusively on the problem space, we may unconsciously limit the potential for transferring learning between these problem domains. These considerations have led us to seek technology transfer opportunities by comparing the approaches the various Associates are employing to solving their respective problems. Comparing the Solution Approaches Some key comparisons between the solution approaches for AEGIS and PA systems are summarized in Table 2. It is readily apparent that, despite the just-discussed similarities in their respective problem spaces, the two programs are approaching their respective problems in very different ways. We think that there are two primary drivers of these differences. First, there are no autonomous users of an AEGIS system, and the entire solution is therefore being driven by the need to support the collaboration of its users. The second driver of the AEGIS approach results from the cost requirements of the civilian business culture. This influence is apparent in several areas: Since the cost of an ASM system will have to be rigorously justified, the resources available to the system developers and maintainers are significantly constrained. These constraints are driving the ASM program toward open systems architectures, the use of off-the-shelf components, and intelligent system configuration and engineering aids. In addition, AEGIS will have to provide for its own needs in the areas of training, operations support, and maintenance functions. The PA approach thus takes advantage of the users' autonomy, and the relative availability of development resources, and relies on a collection of well-specified, highly-coordinated special purpose modules. The AEGIS approach is to provide access to an application infrastructure and information sharing environment in a way that permits economical development of applications that share the tasks in providing an overall solution. The AEGIS system must also provide for the training and support infrastructure that the PA approach can take for granted. The assumption is that if the infrastructure is available, the market will provide applications to expand the capabilities of the initial system. While this assumption is untested, repeated experience in other domains (e.g., personal computer operating systems, laboratory instrumentation busses, global positioning system applications) supports this general approach. Technology transfer from PA to AEGIS Since AEGIS has had to focus on infrastructure and the provision of an open (and therefore to some extent content-free) architecture, we are not borrowing very much from the PA architectural approach. We are, however, using as much of PA's application knowledge as we can. For example, we have built upon the PA approach to decision support, information management, and planning. The AEGIS approach to information management, in fact, is almost identical to that of PA: We believe that there are four types of knowledge needed by both decision support Associates in order to correctly sift and present information. Knowledge of context First, Associates must have an understanding of the current context including the plans, goals and tasks in which the human operator(s) are engaged. Advanced Associate systems may be given the authority to allocate some tasks to various operators (animate or inanimate) in an effort to manage task and information overload. But in order to unload the operators, the Associate needs to be able to determine when they are overloaded to begin with. Approach Characteristic Number of users supported Hardware Software Operating System Architectural Approach Pilot's Associate/RPA 1 or 2 Custom Custom Multiple special-purpose modules, rigorously coordinated, custom-developed . Maximum possible sophistication in all modules. ASM (AEGIS) 5 to 15 COTS layered on Custom COTS Enabling Infrastructure for distributed applications; open architecture, published APIs, information sharing. Sophistication varies according to cost-effectiveness. Approach to Problem Diagnosis Custom knowledge-based module and cockpit information manager Cockpit Information Manager, rigorous application of interaction protocols Multiple diagnostic applications, evidence aggregation, multiple user interface applications Information presentation infrastructure supporting multiple user interface applications, customized interaction styles Autonomy varies according to plant policy Training Operations Support On-line Information and Documentation Systems Approach to User Interaction Pilot is in charge Supporting Technologies Embedded in System Expected availability and frequency of use Always available, continuously in use Always available, user interface continuously in use, AEGIS services in use infrequently (on an as-needed basis) Table 2. Comparison of AEGIS Solution Approach with those of PA and RPA Knowledge of information requirements Second, the system must also have knowledge about the kinds of information needed in various contexts to perform various tasks. It is usually not appropriate to present detailed maintenance information about malfunctioning avionics to pilots in the heat of a mission, but it may be appropriate to present information on how to reconfigure the avionics system to manage the problem. Knowledge of presentation resources Third, the system needs knowledge about the available information presentation resources (e.g., display surfaces and display formats that can be presented on them, acoustic channels, etc.) and these must be represented such that their capabilities for providing information needed by tasks is clear or derivable. The Associate must not interrupt radio messages with voice annunciation, nor present information requiring color on a multipurpose, but monochrome, display. Knowledge of information priority Fourth, the system must have a mechanism for selecting and prioritizing information for presentation for the limited human and machine resources available. This fourth type of knowledge may include representations of the degree of "fit" between information needed and information provided, individual differences and personal preferences of specific operators, the capacity of specific I/O devices in the operator's crew station, and the processing capacity of the human operator. We have developed methods for acquiring, representing and using all of these types of information on the RPA program, and have developed a CIM prototype which is currently being evaluated and refined for use on the RPA aircraft. We should be able to transfer the bulk of this approach to the AEGIS effort. [Potential] Technology Transfer from AEGIS to PA We believe that the PA efforts may benefit from AEGIS work in three key areas. In two cases, these opportunities result from the fact that the PA and AEGIS efforts share requirements, but are addressing them with different priorities. Just as AEGIS can benefit from the early PA focus on information management issues, we believe PA can benefit from AEGIS focus on supporting collaboration among multiple users, and from the AEGIS work in the development of a distributed architecture that supports independent applications to collaborate to solve the problem as a whole. The other technology transfer opportunity for PA stems from the AEGIS effort to coordinate all of its operator interaction within a single consistent interface. Collaboration support PA efforts have heretofore not been overly focused upon supporting the collaboration of multiple users, but we know that it is only a matter of time before collaboration support becomes a necessary component of PA. For example, suppose a flight of aircraft is assigned to a mission with multiple targets and multiple threats. The PA system might well be expected to dynamically coordinate the efforts of the entire flight to complete as many of the mission priorities as possible. The need to support collaboration entails the expansion of the information management model of PA to incorporate knowledge of what other users are doing, and the modification of the existing four types of knowledge that the information management system must understand to include the impact of having additional operators available—both as problem-solving resources and as information processing burdens. Distributed architecture The second major opportunity for technology transfer from AEGIS to PA, as we see it, results from the distributed, open architecture design being pursued by AEGIS. The AEGIS effort of course has the potential to greatly reduce the fielded cost of Associate technology, but it may also contribute greatly to reducing the systems maintenance effort, enabling frequent updates to the technology, and, eventually, perhaps, to enabling PA to evolve into less expensive, more open, more distributed and therefore more redundant and fault tolerant system. Unified user interface The demands of process control, and in particular the need to interact with hundreds of instruments without adverse impact on the operators' awareness of the overall state of the plant, led the designers of distributed control systems to develop the ―single window to the process‖ concept. This design principle requires us to ensure that all interaction with the process take place in a unified, consistent, and comprehensive user interface. As new capabilities are added to the process control system, they are required to be integrated into the existing user interface environment. The pilot's environment has evolved differently, in that as new capabilities became available to support various aspects of an evermore-sophisticated mission, the cockpit has accreted new interfaces: Flight management, weapons management, radar systems, flight control, communication, aircraft status—each of these has a separate user interface personality, integrated to differing degrees with the rest of the cockpit systems. For example, some systems share a display, but use it in different ways. Some systems have dedicated interfaces, but they are not consistent with the interfaces of other systems. It may be argued that the functionality being supported by these systems is too sophisticated (or critical, or specific, etc.) to enable integration into a consistent framework, but we are not convinced: Industrial systems designers face challenges of equivalent complexity. It is the case that the pilot interface has evolved over fifty years, and the introduction of new technology into the digital control room has benefited from the lack of such tradition. Nevertheless, we believe that the multiplicity of cockpit systems is reaching a point of diminishing returns, and that cockpit integration—in the user interface sense—is the next best opportunity to significantly improve pilot performance, decrease training requirements, reduce incidents, and further the goals of the aviation community. In some respects, the greatest potential technology transfer from AEGIS to PA may be of approaches, methodologies, and architectures to address this problem of user interface integration into a single, consistent framework. Conclusions The AEGIS system is addressing, from a user's perspective, the same issues that the PA programs have been working on for some time: The management of time-critical and unpredictable problems in complex, high-value, safety-critical systems. Despite the differences in the specifics of the problem domains, success while require the many of the same issues to be addressed. The programs are being driven to address these requirements in a different priority order, and therefore there is significant potential for technology transfer in both directions. We intend to take advantage of our participation in both of these efforts to vigorously pursue the opportunity to help the programs benefit from each other.

I'm sure he did, but I think it's safe to say that the base of his argument was race.
Also, comedians should just stay comedians. This goes for both Bill Maher and Dennis Miller, and ESPN Sports Center anchors should stay in the sports industry.
