WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) — Purdue University has fired its associate dean of students after West Lafayette police arrested him on shoplifting charges.
The school announced Friday that 50-year-old Pablo Malavenda has been removed from his administrative position.
Malavenda was arrested Oct. 9 after employees of Walmart told police he was captured on video stealing items on Oct. 8. He was later charged with theft and conversion.
As associate dean, Malavenda oversaw about 700 student organizations, independent housing units, fraternities, sororities and other programs. He had been with the university since 1998. The Journal & Courier reports (http://on.jconline.com/u4wF7B ) Malavenda has the right to appeal his termination under Purdue policies.
A hearing on the charges is set for Nov. 7.
A person who answered the phone at Malavenda's home declined to take a message.

One of the most neutral reads on the topic that I read was "What your doctor may not tell you about vaccinations" by Stephanie Cave, MD. She explains the disease and vaccine histories, offers an alternative vax schedule and recommendations on how to give the vaccine and when parents should weigh their decisions carefully (i.e. family history of adverse reactions or autoimmune disorders as in our case). This book doesn't try to sway one way or another, but leaves the decision where it ultimately lies ~ the parents.

NY Rangers Blog:
Dan Rosen at NHL.com was able to speak with Henrik Lundqvist about the Rangers lack of offense during the postseason..."Honestly, it's not a concern for me at all how many goals we score. I just try to focus on my game. My approach to the game and my mindset doesn't change no matter how many goals we score. A lot of times two or three goals have been enough. I try to approach it the same way -- focus on my things, the things I can control."We will have nights where we score more goals and some nights we're going to win 1-0 or 2-1. I'm fine with that."...what an effin teammate. Hank has every reason in the world to call out his fellow Blueshirts, but that wouldn't be him. Haven't heard one peep. No frustration, no backhanded comments, nothing. Just keeps his head down and continues to bail the Rangers out....what makes Lundqvist's career even more remarkable is that at no point during his Rangers tenure has he been blessed with a capable off...

When my parents got married and moved from India to America as poor immigrants and had me, the Buffalo community really enveloped and supported them, especially my church. It was during that SB run where we learned about football and turned into Bills fans. I was brought up on football and Buffalo wings, and today I still hold true to those two aspects. I play football and tennis, and have a passion for videogames, filmmaking, stunts, good food, and good times. A sophomore at the University of Michigan.
I really believe that grabbing an additional WR would become a necessity. Simply put, Evans, Wilford, Reed, Parrish, TEs, RBs isn't enough, especially with a sophomore QB. I think we'll still...

The pair are separated not just by social class and a political system bent on keeping them apart, but also by a freak planetary condition: they live on twinned worlds with gravities that pull in opposite directions - he on the poverty-stricken planet below, she on the wealthy, exploitative world above. Their budding but illicit romance screeches to a tragic halt when interplanetary-border patrol agents catch (more...)

Japan, U.S. make 'bit of progress' in trade talks - Japanese official
The United States and Japan made some progress on resolving a deadlock over tariffs on farm and industrial exports which is dragging on a wider Pacific trade deal, a senior Japanese official said on Wednesday.

Shutdown fever: Does Congress have a cure?
Tuesday - 3/1/2011, 4:29pm EST
Stan Collender, managing editor, Qorvis Communications
Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah)
Tom Shoop, Editor-in-Chief, Government Executive
Mike Causey, senior correspondent, Federal News Radio
The House passed a two-week spending measure Tuesday that - if passed by the Senate and signed by the president - would stop your agency from shutting down after Friday. That would set the next funding deadline at March 18.
Stan Collender of Qorvis Communications sets the scene for what we can expect over the next several days and weeks.
Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) talks about the budget battle. Will Congress find common ground, before it's too late for your agency?
Tom Shoop, the editor-in-chief of Government Executive Magazine discusses morale at agencies and how feds should prepare for a potential shutdown.
WFED's senior correspondent Mike Causey says these times are unlike any others he's witnessed.
The Republican-led plan is aimed at buying more time for Congress to hash out a final spending plan for this budget year.

Topless Activists at The VaticanROME, ITALY-- Activists go topless at The Vatican to protest the Catholic church's position on gay marriage. Police rushed in when four women took off their shirts during the Pope's weekly prayer service in St. Peters Square. The women had 'IN GAY WE TRUST' painted on their backs and were shouting "SHUT UP". On Saturday, The Vatican insisted that children should grow up with a father and mother. The statement came after Italy's High Court upheld a ruling granting custody of a child to his gay mother. The Pope did not comment on the protest during his prayer service. Most Popular

SALT LAKE CITY, April 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The groundbreaking algorithms developed at TechniScan, Inc. have led to a new arena of whole breast ultrasound technology, as presented at a national medical ultrasound conference in San Diego in March.
The breakthrough in imaging is a result of Wiskin's and colleagues David Borup, Ph.D., and Steven Johnson's, Ph.D. work in the mathematics of inverse scattering. TechniScan's Warm Bath Ultrasound(TM) (WBU) system uses a unique combination of traditional B-mode (reflective) ultrasound and two types of transmission ultrasound - speed of sound and attenuation of sound, to produce three unique sets of images.
The goal of the new technology is to improve breast imaging and provide tissue characterization that will more accurately distinguish pathological from normal breast tissue. The images are captured in a comfortable, radiation-free method as a woman lies prone on an examination table and ultrasound is directed, using warm water as a coupling medium, into the patient's breast tissue.
Wiskin is a co-inventor of the fundamental imaging algorithms used by TechniScan to produce whole breast ultrasound images. His research includes inverse scattering theory, image processing, and acoustic, electromagnetic, and elastic wave propagation. His dissertation at the University of Utah (mathematics) established new inverse scattering imaging methods. He currently holds a faculty position in the Department of Bioengineering at the University of Utah.

Hi 31,
Really sorry to hear your misfortune. Also apologies for slow response - just back from o/seas. HD props are a particular type of prop the GWS folks make, it stands for Hyper Drive. Here is a link to the page of GWS props http://www.gws.com.tw/english/produc.../propeller.htm There is a big performance difference between SF & HD & it can be very confusing. Below is merely how I personally conceive my powerplant starting points depending on whether I want a fast plane (WWII warbirds) or a slow type one (WWI Biplanes or 3D). I found it so confusing too so I simplified the whole scenario & have always had more success than failure. Your setup on a 9*4.7 is not always pushing the air fast enough away from the plane to make the wings 'lift' overcome the planes 'weight'. It has enough grunt to make it race along the ground, maybe even 'hop' flights but it is like driving off down a motorway in a car but only using first gear - very quickly you run out of useable power. So what you need to get now is a prop which will give you something like 3rd or 4th gear. Like a car, you can (if you are careful) drive off from standstill in 3rd gear. But your model should spend 98% of it's time flying so the 1% @ take-off & 1% @ landing are not the main concern right now so 4th gear is the target. If we look at the available pitch in all the GWS types of props, 3rd gear will be a 9050 HD. (there is no 9050SF) 4th gear will be 9060 SF. (there is no 9060 HD) Now, I know from pure experience that a 9060SF on a 3:1 using the GWS 7.2V motor on 3S lipos is too much load for the motor - maybe 10~20 flights So I would look at easing some load off the motor - so we should reduce the current draw down (but keeping 4th gear - the pitch of 6 inches) Now we come out with an 8060. (Lucky for us GWS have a SF and an HD in this size!) HD's from my tests always draw less current than the equivalent SF (many reasons for that but we won't study that now) So the answer we come out with for a starting point is the 8060HD - your 3s lipo will spin it fast, it wont fry the motor in a hurry and you should get enough speed to fly. I suppose a lot is experience with this D g'box for me. It's just stuff you learn as you go. It can all get as complicated as you like but at the end of the day, that's why you came here. I hope my simplistic little ramble helps in some way. Phil |

I use Deans Micro connector on all of my battery packs. The Deans Micro is compact yet will handle 10 amps per pin. I wish more manufacturers would offer packs with the micro instead of that big darn Deans Ultra. I don't wqant to run a vacuum cleaner just a small brushless motor.

I don't know the brand of the prop. It is black and look similar to MAS (Master Air Screw) but I am not sure. The shape looks more like APC slow fly but it is more stiff like the APC electric. I have also used APC 8x3.8 slow fly with good result (3 cell). |

Same formula prop method for B/less as brushed but the B/L motor is more sensitive to changes. The old can motors are very robust - B/L are generally more refined. Always best to static test with an ammeter on the bench. Your motor shouldn't draw more than 12 amps on the bench at WOT (Wide Open Throttle). I'd start your flight testing on a GWS 8040 HD. (should be ~ 10 to 11 amps @ 3s lipo) Be careful of using gas engine props on electrics, many just don't work. Phil |

Hey guys -- I'm flying a GWS Zero on a 3:1 (GWS "D") gearbox, a 400 speed GWS motor, a 9-cell NiMh battery, and a 9x7 SLOW FLYER prop.
The airplane flys just fine, and has 10+ minute flight times... I'm considering what Mr. Lin (and the GWS staff) said -- I'm thinking of switching to a GWS 9x5 HD prop... However, I'm concerned that I will lose top speed AND thrust when making this move... Can anyone share their personal experience with this? I also have an e-flite prop which came with my e-flite P-47 Thunderbolt... I think it's a 10x8 prop, and it looks like the GWS HD props... I'm considering trying the e-flite prop... |
Feb 23, 2006, 04:37 AM | |
I agree with Mr Lin. Your combo is prob the best there is but the 9075HD would be worth a look. I reckon a 9050 will be disapointing, good thrust for take off but would run out of legs when you need speed. I ran the same on my GWS Spitfire and didn't like it as much - great for handlaunch but that was it's best attribute. 9075 will be similar performance to 9070 and drops straight onto the 4mm nuts on the shaft. A touch less current draw so flights become longer by a minute or two. Depends what you are after. That's the fun of playing around with E-birds Phil |

Today was the last day of the Dumbo Arts Festival in Brooklyn, New York and it was a gorgeous autumn afternoon. One of my favorite things about living in Brooklyn now is the constant parade of art, culture, and exciting pop up events. The Dumbo Arts Festival was no exception, and its iconic location made for a picture perfect backdrop. There was a mixture of photography, performance art, sculpture, and interactive areas.

Discovering Animals Around The World
Whenever I travel to someplace new, I am always interested in meeting locals, seeing their way of life, and observing the differences (and very often) similarities. As my country count started racking up, I soon came across more than just the local people in each new destination. I started noticing the animals that I met along the way, from the free-ranging cows in India, to the frolicking beach dogs in Thailand's Koh Samet island, to the drowsy cats in Santa Barbara's wine country.
Here are just a few of my favorite animals that I have encountered. I might have been worlds away, but at the end of the day, a cow in India is the same as a cow in the United States.
Photography in Agra: Ten Flavors of the Taj Mahal
Whenever I photograph something, I am always interested in seeing how differently it will turn out depending on the angle and perspective. This was especially true when I visited the Taj Mahal. A universal icon that has been photographed to death, I wanted to see if I could get a new or different angle. While I definitely am new to photography, I like to think that I added a bit of my personality into these photos. Either way, I hope it inspires you to one day visit this incredible masterpiece.
Icons of Jamaica
{The first waterfall we spotted along the way.}
I visited Jamaica with my family over Christmas and New Years. I am so used to traveling to rural destinations, seeking out one cultural destination after another, that it was a strange sensation to sit at a resort for a week. While I definitely prefer sightseeing to being confined to one compound, there is something to be said for the complete relaxation of lying on a beach (or floating in a pool) with literally nothing else to worry about. After three days of that however, I was ready to explore, and I convinced the whole family to join me on a classic waterfall hike at YS Falls.

Spotlight On..Travel Treats
{vintage sign+whimsical treats=British perfection}
I definitely have a huge sweet tooth, but it is easier to control when I am at home. When I am traveling however, that little ounce of self control I posses flies right out the window as my love for trying new things takes over. Some of my favorite treats have been found halfway across the world; perhaps mostly due to the fact that I can't enjoy them every day. Here are a few unusual snacks that I have come across.
{Summer cocktails almost too pretty to drink in Hua Hin, Thailand}
{MozartKugeln-a confection of pistachio marzipan, nougat, and dark chocolate. I sampled these in Salzburg, Vienna}

{Cherry apples in Bangkok-they have a slightly different texture than typical apples.}
Indian Market Scenes
Wandering through the markets in India was truly an over sensory experience. From the sounds of the throngs of people and animals milling about to the smells of spices mixed with sweat, nothing could have prepared me for this.
Where to Teach English for Non English Teachers
The Spanish sun shines brightly overhead and glints off the cool water of the hotel pool. Two girls sit in recliners, leisurely talking about their lives, their work, family, friends; anything that is on their mind. Set in La Alberca, roughly four hours from Madrid, this scene could take place anywhere, just two friends enjoying an afternoon off. Yet this is no vacation scene. This is the week long English immersion program, Pueblo Ingles.
While traveling through Spain I had the good fortune to be able to participate in two English immersion programs, Vaughan Town and Pueblo Ingles, respectively. Each week was magical, and nothing could have prepared me for the emotions I would feel after working so closely with these inspiring Spaniards.
My week in Pueblo Ingles began like a scene from a summer camp drop off. The Madrid bus pickup location was full of suitcases, uneasy looking people, and enthusiastic staff. I felt transported back to my own days spent in the New York Catskill Mountains each summer. As the departure time neared, the Anglos, or English speakers were instructed to "grab a Spaniard and sit together on the bus." As we nervously paired up and took our seats, I wondered yet again what I was getting myself into.
The bus trip from Madrid to La Alberca, the town where we would spend the immersion week was about four hours with a stop in the walled city of Avila. I turned to my chosen Spaniard and began to speak. Instantly, I was impressed with the level of English being spoken. I had anticipated broken sentences and immediate frustration, but the Spaniards seemed quite capable of discussing their lives, jobs, and families. "Perhaps this week won't be such a struggle", I dared to hope.
We arrived at our hotel, a complex of bungalows set in the mountains and I became cautiously optimistic. The grounds looked beautiful and there seemed plenty of paths for walking and exploring. Our Program Director (PD) and Master of Ceremonies (MC) immediately started giving out the room numbers and we discovered that each Anglo and Spaniard would be sharing a bungalow, one per floor. We were then given time to settle in, before the day's activities would begin.
Apparently we would be hitting the ground running.
Our schedule each day would consist of 3-4 50 minute one to one speaking sessions plus group activities, entertainment hours (during which everyone would have a chance to "volunteer" to participate), meal time discussions, and of course the iconic Spanish siesta.
Each day was a regimented affair, so as to utilize every single minute of the week's English immersion. The Spaniards were thrown in head first and you could see their brain working, constantly translating and thinking. The Anglos had a tough adjustment as well, adjusting to a new environment, many still on their home time zones, while being expected to lead discussions during a 10-13 hour day. By the end of day one, everyone looked exhausted and it was an early night for most. The week loomed ahead and everyone looked like they were regretting their decision to come.
The first full day of the program began bright and early with a wakeup call at 8:15am. Meal times were mandatory during this week, as they provided another essential hour of speaking and socializing. With a night's sleep behind us, the Anglos looked more refreshed and ready to embrace the week, while many of the Spaniards looked as if they had not had more than a few hours rest. At breakfast we were instructed to sit Anglo, Spaniard, a rule that would become a ritual over the long week. As the coffee was poured and the toast was buttered (or in the Spaniards case, covered with crushed tomato), the conversation naturally began to start. Topics ranged from introductions to vocations to families, but as the basics were covered, the conversations began to take on a more varied shape. Cultural differences were noticed and discussed, the economic crisis in Spain was a constant subject, and even the occasional joke was exchanged. An ignorant observer could easily have mistaken our group for old friends.
The schedules were posted for the day and each Anglo and Spaniard found their one to one partner and set off for the first of many 50 minute conversations. The only requirements during these talks were to cover the daily phrasal verb and idiom, and to speak only in English. Other than that, the floor was open to our discretion. Walking with Marco, my first Spaniard of the day, I discovered that he was a well of knowledge on European travel. Having been to almost every country in the continent, he showed me pictures and videos from his trips, and we shared our love of travel and culture. The allotted time sped by and I was shocked when I checked my watch. I had just had an interesting conversation with a Spanish professional, sitting on lounge chairs with a view of the nearby mountains. Boosted by my first session, I eagerly ran to the schedule board to find my next partner.
As the day turned to evening, I made my way to the dining room for dinner. My throat was slightly dry from the hours of speaking, but my mind was buzzing. I had just had some of the most interesting conversations of my life, with a group of Spanish professionals whom I typically would not have the chance to speak with. The other Anglos looked just as relieved and excited as me, while the Spaniards looked drained from the day's activities. Their level of English was impressive to me, but they still had a lot of work to do.
At dinner I discovered that I had been chosen to participate in the next day's performance.
Each day brought new experiences, and I was shocked to find the hours flying by. While the one on ones had started out as introductory conversations, they slowly evolved into deep and personal revelations. I no longer took the siesta hour to rest, but instead joined my new Spanish friends by the pool or for a game of Padel, (a combination of tennis and racquet ball). The nights were no longer welcomed as a break from the day's activities, but as a chance to gather around the bar, learn new Spanish traditions, and dance until the sun came up.
The days were long and hard; we still had much grammar to correct and social customs to explain, but I felt happy and fulfilled in a way that I had never expected. Each of these Spaniards was so brave to put themselves forward in such a vulnerable way. Many of the attendees were managers, directors, and important people in their profession. Yet here they were, acting silly in the nightly plays, asking questions in basic English, and firmly not speaking Spanish, even though it was the easier option. The respect that these Spaniards gave to the program was inspiring; I felt shame at myself for not trying half as hard to master the Spanish language.
By the morning of our last day, friendships had been forged, a few romances had blossomed, and all of our lives had been changed forever. The power of this one week took everyone by surprise, and there were quite a few tearful goodbyes. As the bus was loaded up, I couldn't help but notice the stark contrast between our arrival one week earlier. The bus ride was full of animated English conversation, some between just Spaniards, and emails and numbers were exchanged to keep in touch over the year.
One week, 50 participants, and 100+ hours of English speaking, all combine to create a change that I truly believe will impact the entire world.
*Please note that Pueblo Ingles has now changed their name to Diverbo*

Hello D.C. Moms!
I am a November mom starting to think about newborn photos. I am wondering if any of you have recommendations for great photographers in the area. I live in Silver Spring.
Thanks in advance!
A friend's baby photos came out so beautifully that we're using Little Moon Photography for our baby girl who's due in Sept: http://www.littlemoonphotography.com/

Equal Opportunity Letter - 03 25 2011
I don't know what to do. The University has violated its own Equal Opportunity Statement, and the Office of Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action has handed down a verdict that they have not. What do you think?
The University of Minnesota shall provide equal access to and opportunity in its programs, facilities, and employment without regard to race, color, creed, religion, national origin, gender, age, marital status, disability, public assistance status, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression.
The 2010-2011 Comprehensive Student Health Benefit Plan excludes:
Services for or related to sex transformation/gender reassignment surgery, sex hormones related to surgery, related preparation and follow-up treatment, care and counseling.
The American Medical Association says:
Whereas, Many health insurance plans categorically exclude coverage of mental health, medical, and surgical treatments for GID, even though many of these same treatments, such as psychotherapy, hormone therapy, breast augmentation and removal, hysterectomy, oophorectomy, orchiectomy, and salpingectomy, are often covered for other medical conditions; and
Whereas, The denial of these otherwise covered benefits for patients suffering from GID represents discrimination based solely on a patient's gender identity; and
Whereas, Delaying treatment for GID can cause and/or aggravate additional serious and expensive health problems, such as stress-related physical illnesses, depression, and substance abuse problems, which further endanger patients' health and strain the health care system; therefore be it
RESOLVED, That our American Medical Association support public and private health insurance coverage for treatment of gender identity disorder (New HOD Policy); and be it further
RESOLVED, That our AMA oppose categorical exclusions of coverage for treatment of gender identity disorder when prescribed by a physician. (Directive to Take Action)
Still, the University states:
While the failure to cover sex reassignment surgery in the Plan does not amount to a violation of University policy, it hinders the perception of the University as a place that supports all of its students. Additionally this exclusion could have a negative impact on the University's ability to promote itself as a welcoming and open community. This concludes the investigation into this matter.
Am I the only gopher embarrassed by that? Not only does it contradict all reason, but they contradict themselves!
Furthermore, I have been advised that the General Counsel's office for the U doesn't think there is a violation of the law. I cite Minnesota Statutes:
363A.03 DEFINITIONS.Subd. 44. Sexual orientation.
"Sexual orientation" means having or being perceived as having an emotional, physical, or sexual attachment to another person without regard to the sex of that person or having or being perceived as having an orientation for such attachment, or having or being perceived as having a self-image or identity not traditionally associated with one's biological maleness or femaleness. "Sexual orientation" does not include a physical or sexual attachment to children by an adult.
Subdivision 1. Full and equal enjoyment of public accommodations.
(a) It is an unfair discriminatory practice:
(1) to deny any person the full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, and accommodations of a place of public accommodation because of race, color, creed, religion, disability, national origin, marital status, sexual orientation, or sex, or for a company to discriminate in the access to, full utilization of, or benefit from service because of a person's disability.
Whether Gender Identity Disorder can be considered a disability is controversial in the transgender community, but the Minnesota Human Rights Commission has clearly stated that it can be. Minnesota law broken on two accounts: discrimination based on "sexual orientation" and discrimination based on disability.
The GLBTA office has gotten me to back off for now b/c they think this can be resolved through a joint committee, approved by the Vice Provost, between Boynton employees and members appointed by the GLBTA office to resolve the issue. On the other hand I'm getting legal advice from OutFront Minnesota saying I have a case that would stand up in court.
My gut is telling me this means war! What should I do? My health and possible survival is at stake here...

Editor's note: We have changed the rating in this review to reflect recent changes in our rating scale. Click here to find out more.
The silver, mirrored front of the Philips HDRW720 (which measures a standard 17 inches wide by 3 high by 13 deep) looks pretty slick. We especially liked the look of the two circular, five-way navigational keypads on the right side of the front panel; one of them lets you navigate the player's hard drive browser, while the other has playback controls and a one-touch record button. Just below the twin controls is a small panel; flip it open, and you'll find a set of camcorder and A/V inputs.The deck's compact, nonbacklit remote does a fair job. The five-way navigational control is right in the middle, just above the largish Play button and flanked by the hard drive browser and programming guide buttons, while the one-touch Record button is on the top-left of the remote. Some of the buttons are confusing (what's the difference between Select and OK, for example?) but we eventually got the hang of it.
Philips is notorious for its labyrinthine menus, and the HDRW720 is a chip off the old block. The hard drive and DVD menus are easy enough to figure out, but the various system and settings menus are tough to navigate and offer little help for beginners. (The menu system on the Sony RDR-HX900--a similar DVR/DVD combo deck--is much slicker and easier to use.) After several head-scratching hours of trial and error and flipping through the poorly written manual, we finally figured out the menus, but novices are in for a steep learning curve.
The Philips HDRW720 makes for a nimble DVR. While it won't record two shows at once (indeed, only satellite and cable-specific DVRs have that desirable feature), it will pause and rewind live video, a critical feature missing in other standalone non-TiVo-based decks. You can set the hard drive buffer to hold between one and six hours of video. Like what you're watching? Just click the Record button to save the program to your hard drive.Less impressive was the HDRW720's flawed TV Guide electronic programming guide (EPG). The free guide gets points for letting you browse--but not search for--programs alphabetically or by genre, while warning you of recording conflicts. That's all well and good, but here's the catch: this EPG doesn't work with digital cable or satellite receivers. The included IR blaster will change the channels on your set-top box, but without the EPG data, it's a wasted feature. See Performance for more details.
Although recording shows on the hard drive is a snap, burning programs to a DVD+R/+RW (the HDRW720 won't record to DVD-RW or DVD-R) is a bit of a chore. Unlike other DVR/DVD combos we've tested, the Philips deck won't record video directly to DVD; you have to record to the hard drive first, then archive your shows to DVD later. Complicating matters is the fact that you can't change the recording quality while archiving. For example, if you recorded a show on the hard drive at the high-quality M1 setting (an hour of which fits on a 4.7GB DVD), you can't archive it to DVD at the two-hour M2 speed--you're stuck with the one-hour mode. Other DVR/DVD recorder decks we've tested, such as the Panasonic DMR-E95HS, will let you change the recording mode when you archive, even squeezing the video to fit the remaining space on your recordable DVD. The Philips deck archives top-quality M1 recordings at a real-time speed of 1X, but archiving accelerates to 5X for the 2.5-hour M2x mode and 10X for the eight-hour M8 mode.

Knowledge Intensive Business Services in Regional Systems of Innovation - Initial Results from the Case of Southeast-Finland
Within innovation systems, it is not only the creation of knowledge that counts but the flow of such knowledge from the producer to the user. Therefore, a huge national knowledge base does not necessarily guarantee intensive innovation activities. Instead, the distribution power within national innovation systems is important. In the process of distributing knowledge that is relevant for innovations, different actors can be identified. Besides organisations that have been put up by (regional) governments like technology transfer institutes, technology parks etc., one major group of actors are so called knowledge intensive business services (KIBS). It is believed that they hold a decisive role in the creation and diffusion of knowledge within regional systems of innovation, since they can take up a bridging function between knowledge suppliers and knowledge users. Research so far has focused mainly on the role of so-called technology-based KIBS for high-tech industries (e.g. ICT). The role and significance of non-technology KIBS (like business consulting, legal services etc.) on the other hand has been neglected, although they can have a decisive effect on the strategical direction of innovations. Since most of the KIBS-research has focused on KIBS in highly developed innovation systems and metropolitan areas, there is not very much known about the role and significance of KIBS in more peripherical and rural regions, although it is an interesting question if KIBS in these regions play the same role in their clients innovation processes and if they are able to introduce new knowledge from outside the regions. The proposed paper deals with the role and significance of knowledge intensive business services in the creation and diffusion of knowledge and their role in the development of peripherical regions. It sheds some light on the changing environment for KIBS and the change in the structure of KIBS in peripherical regions. Furthermore, it deals with the specific role of KIBS for the transfer of knowledge from outside the region and their ability to link sources of knowledge from different industries. The proposed paper is based on the systems of innovation approach. It uses data obtained by a standardised questionnaire that was sent to all relevant KIBS firms in Southeast-Finland during 2002. Furthermore, the results of about 50 interviews with KIBS, the clients of KIBS and relevant institutional actors in Southeast-Finland are being used. Based on the previously mentioned data, the paper suggests that the dichitomy between technology-KIBS and non-technology KIBS is not appropriate in many cases, since most KIBS firms provide a mixture of services. The paper suggests that KIBS hold an important position for the diffusion of knowledge that is needed for innovations even in more or less low-tech industries. This is especially true for knowledge that comes from outside the region. The paper also shows the relative importance of different channels for the distribution of knowledge within the innovation system. However, the paper suggests that for the observed region the power of KIBS in linking different industries is rather limited.Download Info

Welcome, friends! Today the ballroom is festooned in black and orange, decorated with paper cut-out bats and lanterns fashioned with alarming faces — horrifying eyes, protruding noses, ghastly grimaces — the flickering candlelight within casting spooky shadows on the walls and costumed revelers. It is Halloween, my favorite holiday as a child and—
Lady B: What in heaven's name are you wearing, Miss Ashe? Is that fur? And a tail?
Oh, hello, my lady. Welcome to our masquerade ball! Tessa, Miranda, Sabrina, Sarah, Gaelen and I decorated the ballroom today to celebrate the holiday with our guests.
<squawk!> Shiver me timbers! <squawk!>
Hi, Albert. Fabulous eye patch and gold earring you have on. My favorite costume of all time, of course.
Lady B: Miss Ashe, given the opportunities a masquerade ball offers for scandalously anonymous dalliance, I haven't any difficulty with you ladies throwing one today. But what, pray tell, is this Halloween of which you speak?
<squawk!> Ghosts and goblins! <squawk!>
Halloween is a holiday Americans celebrate with gusto, Lady B. It's connected with the Catholic Feast of All Saints on November 1, but scholars aren't really sure how. Some say it began with the ringing of bells that augured in the feast day the evening before — thus All Hallows Eve — and that common folk believed those bells scared away evil spirits. Others say the holiday has something to do with the ancient Celtic celebration of Samhain that marked the onset of winter when Irish and Scots would have big parties. My favorite tidbit of Halloween history is how young people would name two nuts after themselves and a desired partner, then put them both in the fire and see if they popped, which indicated whether or not the match was a good one.
Lady B: It seems a thorough mish-mash.
I suppose it is, historically speaking! But it's great fun, and these days it allows everybody to get dressed up in costume, especially scary costumes. So you see, my favorite TV show— er— theater production as a child was always about monsters and haunted houses. Also, the hero of my next book has two very large dogs. So I'm dressed as Scooby-Doo.
Lady B: Hm. And your fellow authoresses?
Sarah: As I never remember that it's Halloween in time to do anything extravagant, I'm dressed as a romance novelist. Think Miss Piggy. Big hair, feather boa–
<squawk!> Feathers! <squawk!>
Sarah: Don't worry, Albert. They aren't parrot feathers. I don't think. Anyway…and what romance novelist costume would be complete without a Pomeranian? I borrowed this one from a neighbor. <yip!> (The dog mounts Sarah's leg.) No! Down, Lady. Bad dog.
Lady B: (raising a brow) Lady, you say? How…ironic.
Katharine: (snort) I wouldn't put that sort of behavior past certain la–
(Lady B's brow perks higher yet)
Katharine: Er. What I mean to say is, diminutive dogs, Napoleon complex, you know.
Sabrina: Dogs seem to be a theme this year. However, I deviated a bit and am dressed as Juliet from Romeo and Juliet, revisiting my brief childhood acting experience. The Zeffirelli version inspired my costume, so think of Olivia Hussey and you'll imagine what I look like perfectly. Well, what the costume looks like.
Gaelen: Oooooo, ooooo, OOOOOOOOOO! (Did I scare you?) I'm a ghost, preferably the Gray Lady who haunts Kilburn Castle (Rohan's home in My Dangerous Duke). Boo!
Miranda: I've decided to go traditional for this Halloween party, i.e. scary. Since it's highly unlikely that I will ever write a paranormal romance, I'm going to unleash my inner bloodsucker and go as a vampire. I haven't yet decided whether to go camp (Elvira Mistress of the Dark) or horrible (Bride of Dracula).
Lady B: This Halloween is merely an occasion for a costume ball?
Katharine: Not exactly, although lots of people throw Halloween parties. But the usual practice is that on Halloween night children don costumes and walk from house to house, knock on doors, and when the doors open they shout—
<squawk!> Trick or treat! <squawk!>
Katharine: Which in translation means, "If you don't give me a treat, I will play a trick on you."
Lady B: Young ruffians.
Katharine: Aren't they? Especially after all that candy. The little darlings.
Tessa: Tell me about it. I have two little ruffians of my very own, Lady B, and Halloween gets harrowing.
Lady B: Miss Dare, is that you? What is this long, draped tunic you're wearing? With all that kohl around your eyes, you look positively…Egyptian.
Tessa: Exactly, Lady B. I'm Cleopatra. On a day when my little ones get entirely out-of-hand, I rather covet her supreme power. Not to mention, her accessories.
Lady B: I've no doubt, dear gel, that you are capable of managing any ruffians who offer you tricks, as are your heroines and fellow authoresses' heroines. Especially the gentlemanly sort of ruffian.
Katharine: I like the way you think, my lady. And do you know what, I see all of our most recent heroines here today. I think you should ask them which they would prefer from their gentlemen, a trick or a treat?
Sarah: Don't tell our guests which heroine is answering, though. It will ruin the fun.
Tessa: Oh, yes. Let's let them guess.
Miranda: How about a prize for the winner? Whoever identifies all six heroines correctly by their responses gets today's giveaway.
Lady B: Splendid idea. Let's begin! Ladies, which would you prefer your gentlemen to offer you, a trick or a treat?
Lady #1: Most days, my gentleman is too proper for games like this…but I am happy to say that since we married, he's made time for more treats. I should like a trick from him tonight, however…as I do love to see the childish side of him.
Lady B: I believe you mean childlike, my dear.
Lady #1: Is that not what I said? (Waving one hand in the air.) I mean the side of him that laughs and teases and plays. That side is very very rare. And very very tempting. (She sighs.) Yes. A trick. Most definitely.
Lady #2: I like this game, and it's not one I need confine to one day a year. The worst trick I could play on my darling husband would be to kidnap his tailor. Or, less drastically, I could hide all his clothing. That will result in a treat for both of us.
Lady B: Delicious!
Lady #3: The most horrid trick my husband played on me was showing up in the first place! He invaded my quiet seaside village, took possession of our ancient castle, blew apart our tranquility, and somehow managed steal my heart. But now that the wounded beast is soothed, so to speak, I enjoy many a treat. Frequently outdoors. Ahem.
Lady B: Nature unmasked, as it were.
Lady #4: I haven't worn a mask such as this since my marriage. Amazing how I feel right at home again with the disguise! Ah, but back to the question: Even though he likes to play the proper gentleman, I assure you, my husband knows exactly what sort of naughty trick I prefer. In fact, the trick is a bit of a treat, if you know what I mean.
<squawk!> Tricky talent! <squawk!>
Lady #5: Honestly, between you and me, my husband's tricks ARE a treat. *g* Irresistibly so. Like they say, it's the quiet ones you have to watch out for. The polite gentlemen who can be very bad, indeed, behind closed doors. Well, I wouldn't have it any other way. Of course, it's a bit of a trick making sure the little one up in the nursery doesn't hear us. He got away from his governess the other day and very nearly walked in on us. Most embarrassing. Fortunately, my husband is the consummate diplomat and managed to send the boy off on some errand without little Thomas ever being the wiser. But it was a close thing, that.
Lady B: I admire a man who can don different roles as required.
Lady #6: I agree. But since my husband's public life is already something of a masquerade, he and I usually leave tricks to others. I adore the treats he favors me with in private, though, or really wherever he favors me with them… in the pouring rain, on a billiards table… any place he prefers. And, as he is a generous man, he prefers favoring me quite, quite often. (dreamy smile)
<squawk!> The tricks and treats have it! <squawk!>
Lady B: I daresay, you scallywag.
Honored guests, to celebrate the day we're giving away a treat: a $30 Amazon gift card. Identify our six heroines by their responses to Lady B's question, and tomorrow we'll randomly choose one winner from all who answered correctly. And do tell us what costume you've donned for our ball today! Happy Halloween!

Astronauts detect tear in vital solar panel
MARK CARREAU, Copyright 2007 Houston Chronicle | October 30, 2007
Photo By APIn this image from NASA TV, a view of the damage to a solar panel on the international space station is seen.
Photo By NASA VIDEO/AFP/Getty ImagesThe international space station begins a solar array extension today after work was completed astronauts Scott Parazynski and Doug Wheelock.
Photo By APIn an image made from NASA television, Douglas Wheelock emerges from a hatch on the international space station to start a spacewalk today.
A solar panel on a power module that had been moved from one part of the space station to another hours earlier tore around mid-day today as it was being unfurled by remote command of NASA's Mission Control.
The damage appeared to worsen an electrical power supply problem that surfaced on Sunday when spacewalking astronauts found metal filings in a mechanism that rotates right side solar panels.
Today's damage occurred as the 10 astronauts aboard Discovery and the space station were unfurling the second of two 110-foot-long solar panels.
The module was unbolted from the top of the space station on Sunday and placed in the grasp of the station's robot arm.
Earlier today, spacewalkers Scott Parazynski and Doug Wheelock floated to the left end of the outpost to assist astronauts at the controls of the robot arm inside the station as they hoisted the 35,000-pound module to its permanent location.
Using tools, they bolted the module into place and connected it to the station's electrical power grid.
As the seven-hour spacewalk was drawing to a close, Mission Control sent commands that successfully unfurled the first of the blue and gold solar panels.
The second was unfurled about 90 feet when Discovery commander Pam Melroy called a halt and reported damage.
A tear was clearly visible in the live television images the astronauts transmitted to Mission Control.
"We've detected something that appears to be a wrap-around or some damage," Melroy told the flight control team.
"We see it," responded Mission Control, where experts stopped the unfurling and directed the astronauts to take photographs to document the damage.
Today's outing was the third spacewalk of a remodeling mission to the space station that began with Discovery's liftoff on Oct. 23. The alterations are intended to prepare the station for the arrival of European and Japanese science modules, starting with a December shuttle launch.
Earlier this week, mission managers extended the shuttle mission to 15 days to help overcome the electrical problems.
The damaged $276 million module was launched by a shuttle crew in 2000 and served as a temporary source of electrical power.

I purchased my Civic EX new in 92. It served me faithfully for 13 years and a growing family. We did need to upgrade to an Odyssey but that didn't mean the "Red Dragon" was put out to pasture. Instead she just retired to the race track where I participated in High Performance Driver Education (NASA HPDE 1 & 2) track days for the next 2 years. She's since moved on to a new owner who is still enjoying the ride!
