NUI Galway Spin-out Offers Molecular 'Fingerprinting' of Complex Substances
Friday, 6 November 2009
A spin-out company from NUI Galway, Analyze IQ Limited, is providing solutions for the more accurate analysis of complex mixtures such as illegal drugs, pharmaceuticals and contaminants. With technology licensed from NUI Galway, Analyze IQ Limited offers an innovative software suite for the analysis of the composition of mixtures, based on molecular spectroscopy data. Molecular spectroscopic techniques can effectively 'fingerprint' materials. This is done by assessing the manner in which laser light is scattered by the molecular structure of the gas, liquid or solid being tested. The company's products have applications in fields as diverse as manufacturing inspection, law enforcement, emergency services and the pharmaceutical industry. Analyze IQ sells its software suite directly to end users and through partnerships with manufacturers of spectroscopy instruments. The company has recently signed a partnership deal with Florida-based Ocean Optics, which is now marketing and selling the Analyze IQ software suite. Ocean Optics is a diversified photonics technology firm and a global leader in optical sensing with locations in the US, Europe and Asia. Analyze IQ has further partnerships in the pipeline. Analyze IQ Limited was established in 2008 as a spin-out company from NUI Galway. The company's technology is the result of a five-year research collaboration between analytical chemists with expertise in spectroscopic techniques and software engineers with expertise in data mining and machine learning. The research phase received substantial support from Enterprise Ireland. The founders of the Analyze IQ include Dr Michael Madden, who led the development of the technology within NUI Galway, while a lecturer in the College of Engineering and Informatics. According to Dr Madden, CEO of Analyze IQ: "The software suite has been designed to address the need for accurate analysis of spectroscopic data from mixtures of materials. For a wide range of real-world applications, it is essential to be able to work with mixtures to quickly and accurately assess the composition of their main components. Taking law enforcement as an example, it is extremely valuable in a drug seizure to be able to assess the composition of the drugs and cutting agents, as it provides is useful intelligence that indicates from where in the 'supply chain' the drugs have come". Testing has shown that the novel analysing techniques licensed to Analyze IQ are more accurate than standard chemometric-based methods, particularly when analysing complex mixtures. -ends-

NUI Galway Commemorates the 20th Anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall
Friday, 6 November 2009
The 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall will be commemorated at 6.30pm on Monday, 9 November, at NUI Galway. Lecturers from NUI Galway will speak about their personal experience of the event and discuss its historical and political significance for Germany and Europe during a panel discussion. The event takes place on campus in the Siobhán McKenna Theatre, Arts Millennium Building. Panel participants will include NUI Galway's Dr Róisín Healy, History; Dr Henrike Rau, Political Science and Sociology (originally from East Germany); and Professor Hans-Walter Schmidt-Hannisa, German (originally from West Germany). The discussion will be chaired by lecturer in German, Rosaleen O'Neill, and will be followed by a reception. During the day, students of German at NUI Galway will erect a polystyrene version of the Berlin Wall in the Foyer of the Arts Millennium Building. All are invited to write a comment on it, before its fall is re-enacted around 6.15pm. According to Professor Hans-Walter Schmidt-Hannisa, Head of German at NUI Galway: "On 9 November, 1989, a peaceful revolution in the German Democratic Republic swept away the Berlin Wall. This scandalous monument, that had divided the city into two halves since 1961, symbolised the Cold War and the Iron Curtain. Its fall changed the face of Europe more than anything else since the end of the Second World War, resulting in the reunification of a divided Germany and the integration of Eastern European countries into the European Union". NUI Galway will also host an exhibition produced by students of German which will feature rare original exhibits from the former GDR and include a wealth of original sources and a video installation. The exhibition will provide insights into life in the former German Democratic Republic and reflect upon the economic and ideological changes after the fall of the Wall. The bilingual exhibition Bruchzonen/Breaking Points will open at 5pm on Monday, 16 November 2009, in room 204 of the Arts Millennium Building at NUI Galway. Also on Monday, 16 November, at 6.30pm in the Fottrell Theatre, Arts Millennium Building, the documentary film My DDR T-Shirt by Ian Hawkins will be screened. The director will be present and will answer questions from the audience. The events are sponsored by the DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service) and the German Embassy, Dublin. All events are free and open to the public. For further information email firstname.lastname@example.com or phone 091 492239. -ends-

Leading 'Open Innovation' Guru to Visit NUI Galway
Thursday, 5 November 2009
"Open Innovation – a new model for Research & Development" will be the topic of discussion at a special lecture at 6pm on Thursday, 12 November, in Áras Moyola, NUI Galway. NUI Galway s Centre for Innovation and Structural Change (CISC), as part of the InterTradeIreland All-island Innovation Programme, will host the forthcoming lecture by international expert Professor Henry Chesbrough, the Executive Director of the Centre for Innovation at the Haas School of Business, University of California, Berkley. Professor Chesbrough has a unique background as both a practitioner and researcher, having spent 10 years in senior product planning and strategic marketing positions in Silicon Valley. Chesbrough's book, Open Innovation, which articulates a new paradigm for organising and managing R&D, was named a Best Business Book by Strategy & Business magazine. Professor Chesbrough, says: "Useful knowledge is no longer concentrated in a few large organisations – business leaders must adopt a new, 'open' model of innovation". The concept of open innovation advocates that companies can no longer keep their own innovations secret. The key to success is creating an open platform around innovations so customers, employees and even competitors can build upon them. Only then will there be created an ongoing, evolving community of users, doers and creators. The open innovation concept goes against the traditional view of companies protecting their intellectual property and undertaking all of the R&D and market development of new products or services themselves. Professor Chesbrough, adds: "Today, in many industries, the logic that supports an internal and centralised approach to R&D has become obsolete. In the past, internal R&D was a valuable strategic asset, even a formidable barrier to entry by competitors in many markets. Today, the leading industrial enterprises of the past have been encountering remarkably strong competition from many upstarts". Dr James Cunningham, Director, CISC, NUI Galway, explains: "The new logic of open innovation embraces external ideas and knowledge in conjunction with internal R&D. In short, firms that can harness outside ideas to advance their own businesses, while leveraging their internal ideas outside their current operations, are likely to thrive in this new era of open innovation. Companies like Proctor & Gamble are embracing this open innovation approach". InterTradeIreland Strategy & Policy Director Aidan Gough said: "The theme of open innovation has a strong resonance with our own work in IInterTradeIreland. Through our programmes and initiatives InterTradeIreland is facilitating the development of an open innovation system between the two jurisdictions on this island to deliver not only a more efficient use of the two jurisdictions' knowledge resources, but also a more effective one as well". Professor Chesbrough's key note lecture at NUI Galway is part of the InterTradeIreland All-island Innovation Programme. The Programme, a partnership between InterTradeIreland, NUI Galway, University College Dublin and Queens University Belfast, aims to promote and encourage innovation across the island of Ireland. Those interested in attending should contact firstname.lastname@example.com and online at www.nuigalway.ie/cisc. Attendance is open to all and the event is free to attend. -ends-

Cross-Border Research Alliance to Tackle Diabetes
Tuesday, 3 November 2009
NUI Galway and the University of Ulster have joined forces with HSE West and the Western Health and Social Care Trust to create a collaborative cross-border partnership on diabetes-related research. The "Atlantic - Alliance for Cooperation on Research into Diabetes" (Atlantic - ACORD) initiative brings together clinicians and researchers from the health service, academia and industry, and patients to develop innovative solutions to problems related to the growing problem of diabetes. Diabetes has been targeted because of its increasing prevalence and the associated health care costs. The prevalence of type 2 diabetes is 4-5%, and 1 in 10 pregnancies develop gestational diabetes. Participants will also include allied health professionals, including dieticians, podiatrists, diabetes specialist nurses, IT specialists and psychologists. Priority research areas for the partnership are health technologies, the use of geographical information systems in database analysis, diabetes in pregnancy, and beta cell engineering. These research themes represent some of the key needs for patients in the region and will form the initial focus of further collaborative research proposals. Professor Fidelma Dunne, Head of the School of Medicine at NUI Galway, said: "Tackling diabetes has become an international healthcare priority in the western world. This new research alliance, Atlantic -ACORD, is all about joined-up thinking and pooling resources and expertise north and south of the border". The ultimate aim of the initiative is to enhance the quality of life for patients with diabetes mellitus, and to focus on prevention, treatment and management of the disease. The participant organisations are enthusiastic about the prospect of a formal cross-border initiative in diabetes research, helping tackle this disease, which is a both a growing problem in society and major healthcare service challenge. Professor Finbarr O'Harte of the University of Ulster, said: "The Atlantic - ACORD initiative is an exciting opportunity for us all to pool our expertise in the field of diabetes research for the benefit of diabetes sufferers. This cross-border cooperation should help bring real improvements in prevention, treatment and management of diabetes in this catchment area". Welcoming the initiative, Dr Maurice O'Kane, Head of Research and Development, Western Trust, and C-TRIC, said: "The establishment of Atlantic-ACORD is another significant step forward in putting in place strong systems for research into prevention and treatment of diabetes. This will help us engage even more widely with experts both in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, which will lead to real benefits in how we understand and treat diabetes". It is planned to collaborate with other diabetes centres and work towards an all-island diabetes research network. -ends-

NUI Galway Engineering Students Volunteer in Africa
Monday, 2 November 2009
The College of Engineering and Informatics at NUI Galway has initiated a programme that gives students the opportunity to work in developing countries. Through the Service Learning programme, undergraduate civil engineering students can undertake community-based learning as part of their academic courses. Students will work on projects such as house building, research activities, engineering and science workshops, and literacy programmes. As part of the programme NUI Galway is investigating innovative sustainable construction technology in Zambia, through collaboration with University of Zambia, Good Earth Trust, and the Alan Kerins African Projects. The initial phase of this project entitled 'Cost-effective Sustainable Construction Technology for Zambia' was completed in June by four third-year civil engineering students. With the assistance of the University of Zambia, an extensive literature review and laboratory tests were carried out using interlocking compressed earth blocks, also known as stabilised soil blocks, that replicated those currently used in Western Zambia. If adopted, these blocks can make a significant contribution to poverty reduction, improving the local environment and reducing carbon emissions. The project also saw NUI Galway students, together with two qualified engineers, travel to Western Zambia in August on a 'fact-finding mission'. This visit was used to gather further information on materials available locally that could be used in the manufacture of cost-effective sustainable construction techniques. Further tests to develop innovative composite materials will involve two research projects at NUI Galway which will run in parallel until April 2010. NUI Galway engineering students also ran workshops for orphan children in the remote village of Kaoma. The workshops were developed in collaboration with the Irish engineering professional body, Engineers Ireland, and were designed to encourage the children to explore the world of science and engineering. Speaking on the new initiative Dr Jamie Goggins, Lecturer in the College of Engineering and Informatics at NUI Galway said: "Working in developing countries is a great way to improve your technical skills, broaden your horizons and gain invaluable working experience. Getting a job in communities less fortunate than your own can be a very fulfilling experience. It is extremely rewarding to know that your efforts are helping others to help themselves and working towards alleviating inequality and poverty". NUI Galway Engineering students have also taken part in other volunteering projects in Africa. Over the summer, nine final-year engineering students volunteered for two months in Bahir Dar, in the north of Ethiopia, working on a house building project and helping with a literacy programme. -ends-

Updated at 1:20 p.m. PDT with correction about the extent to which the Nvision conference is being scaled back.
Nvidia paid out $43.6 million to cover costs associated with graphics chip defects in its 2009 fiscal year, and in a separate development, a spokesman said Monday the company has no plans this year to hold the large-scale Nvision conference that it hosted last year.
In a Form 10-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Nvidia said it paid $43.6 million in fiscal year 2009 "in deductions towards warranty accrual associated with incremental repair and replacement costs from a weak die/packaging material set." IDG News Service reported this earlier.
On July 2 of last year, Nvidia announced it was planning to take a one-time charge to cover costs associated with problems with materials used in certain versions of its laptop graphics chips. Subsequently, a $196 million charge was recorded in the second quarter of its 2009 fiscal year to "cover anticipated customer warranty, repair, return, replacement and associated costs" with the problem.
As early as 2007, Hewlett-Packard listed laptop models affected by the graphics chip glitch. In August of 2008, Dell also listed affected models. And Apple said in October that it would repair faulty graphics chips. There have also been recent reports of Nvidia graphics chip issues with Apple's new MacBooks, though Apple, to date, has not confirmed that these alleged issues exist.
Related to the other Nvision development, Nvidia spokesman Derek Perez said the company "has no plans" to host the kind of large-scale Nvision conference that it held last year at the San Jose Convention Center in San Jose, Calif. "With travel dollars shrinking and the economy affecting people's ability to travel, we've changed the plan this year," he said. Nvision will be a series of smaller developer events that are "more focused," he said.
Last year was the first year the company held the conference.
This was reported earlier at Taipei-based technology news site DigiTimes.

- Familiarity: I've used it several times
POC has great designs that incorporate quality in simplicity and in function. This jersey is another great example. The jersey does not feel that light, but it surprisingly breathes well. I've always been weary of clothing from Europe because they tend to run small, but this one fits true to size. My only con is that it's pricey like all of POC's stuff, but what can you expect from well designed, quality stuff imported from Sweden? I got mine on sale.

As a newly wed. couple we were searching for new and modern ways to help us with our gifts. We wanted someway to have a fund for our dream honeymoon. I stumbled upon Honeymoon pixie and well we cannot say enough good things about Honeymoon Pixie! Not only did they provide a safe and secure way to transmit funds, but their website was fun and user friendly. We had a blast creating it!
We both dreamed of going back and reliving our trip where Mike proposed, Disney World. Not only were our friends and family members able to help us with that dream but were able to choose how they wanted to help us. Honeymoon Pixie allowed us to set out site up to be easy and offer a chance for people to specifically pay for a dinner, plane tickets, park tickets, etc..
Thank you, Honeymoon Pixie, for a superb job and going above and beyond what we ever expected! You made our Honeymoon memorable!

My husband and I were recently married in September. Since we had been living together for years, in lieu of a traditional registry, we decided to opt for a honeymoon registry so that we could go on a fabulous honeymoon. After all, once you live together you pretty much have all that you need for the house and why not take a wonderful trip to celebrate the beginning of your marriage! None of my friends had used a service like this before, so to begin my search, I did what any bride would do and I googled honeymoon registry and then checked out reviews for the companies that I found. I decided to use Honeymoon Pixie because all of the reviews were very positive (in fact, I hadn't come across one that was negative). I also really liked the fact that you could customize the webpage with pictures, video and information relating to your specific destination. They have many samples to guide you along the way and you can set all the activities and pricing based on information that you receive from your travel agent. The site also has many unique features that really enhance the user experience. It is really easy to use and their preloaded pictures and formats making creating your website super simple. I am very glad I went with Honeymoon Pixie because their customer service was fantastic and I had absolutely no issues at all. All of my bridal shower guests raved how great the site was and that they all liked the convenience of being able to purchase a gift without having to go to the store. Throughout the process, I did have one question to which I got an immediate response. They also send you a confirmation email when they send out your funds and you can even set email notifications to know when a gift has been purchased. I would absolutely recommend this service as it was easy to set up, their responsiveness and professionalism was unmatched and it offers great value and flexibility to your guests.

What an amazing service that Honeymoon Pixie offered! My husband and I wanted a non-traditional gift registry and Honeymoon Pixie was the perfect option for us! There are other honeymoon fun sites, but none that are so personal and fun and really allow the couple to be themselves. Our friends and family actually referred to our registry as our "wedding site" it was super cute! I would highly recommend them for the efficiency of the site and the operators, they are extremely on the ball and ready to help!

After our engagement, my fiancé and I were very excited to start planning our wedding. Family and friends started asking us where we planned to register for wedding gifts. Since we already had many of the appliances and other household items that are typical wedding gifts and were planning to take our kids on a "familymoon" vacation to Hawaii, we had to find a creative alternative. We were thrilled to find Honeymoon Pixie - a perfect solution to meet our needs.
Within minutes of registering on Honeymoon Pixie we were able to quickly and easily set-up a personalized and fun website to share with our family and friends. We had fun selecting an assortment of gift ideas from airfare and hotel rooms to romantic dinners and activities with the kids. Our family and friends loved the idea and had lots of fun selecting different gifts towards our vacation. So instead of trying to figure out what to do with two toasters and three salad bowls, our family and friends collectively gave us what is going to be an amazing and special vacation in Hawaii. Our experience using Honeymoon Pixie was exceptional. It was easy to use, simple to set-up, and their customer support was simply the best! We strongly recommend Honeymoon Pixie to anyone who is looking for a fun, creative, and easy to use wedding gift registry.

Since we have not really put our households together and we went overseas for our wedding and honeymoon and dealing with various currencies as well we were looking for a alternative to the regular "glass and sheets" registry. but just collecting money was not "tasteful" either we thought. So, we were very happy to have come across this type of registry, The Honeymoon Pixie. How cute is that? :)
Very happy how one can modify the entries, activities and such and the collection of the funds was very easy. I have suggested it to 2 more couples already and hope they like it as much as we did. Thank you!

We used Honeymoon Pixie as one of the registries for our wedding this past August. I loved the idea of a honeymoon registry over the traditional registries because we already had pretty much everything we needed..plus, I LOVE to travel!
I highly recommend using Honeymoon Pixie! The site was easy to create, edit and use. An email was sent every time someone gave us a gift or left us a message on our site. I was also very impressed with the level and timely manner that customer service responded when I had a question.

I was told by Honeymoon Pixie by a co-worker of mine. She had suggested I do this for my wedding. To be quite honest, I had never heard of a honeymoon registry before and thought I would give it a try. It was very easy to navigate and put together a registry. It was a lot of fun too! My (now) husband and I would sit down on a weekend night together with some wine and music and have fun Googling things to do on our honeymoon. It was also great to be able to make your own page with your story and even pictures! With us living on the opposite coast as our family and friends, some of them didn't really know our story! We put the link to our registry on our wedding invites and got a pretty good response. My husband and I are very happy with our experience with Honeymoon Pixie. I forgot to mention, they are awesome people! They are super friendly and extremely helpful. Love them!

Honeymoon Pixie was a fantastic find for my shower and our wedding! Our guests were so impressed with the idea of contributing to our honeymoon and it made shopping quite easy for them! We were able to tailor our registry to exactly what items we wanted to include, and had the honeymoon of a lifetime in Hawaii. The site was super easy to use and communication with any staff from Honeymoon Pixie was always prompt and pleasant. I highly recommend them if you are looking for a honeymoon registry instead of something more traditional.

Could not have more positive things to say about Honeymoon Pixie! We researched various "honeymoon fund" sites and chose Honeymoon Pixies because of the credit card processing option! I had recently been to two weddings where the couples used Honeyfund, and I loved the concept, but then instead of paying at the time of picking out your "gift", I had to print a certificate and include it with my wedding card, along with a check or cash. It felt like it cheapened my gift.
Our guests LOVED the ease of the credit card! We even included the fee on the guests end, and not a single person complained...actually, everyone said "I didn't have to drive to the bank to get cash or wait for you to get back from your honeymoon to cash my check!" We got our site up and running about 2 weeks prior to the wedding and had already fulfilled about half of our requests! We chose to redeem it all together, after our honeymoon, and the processing was such a quick turnaround! Thank you Honeymoon Pixie for making our gift registry so easy! Cheers!

As a newly wedded couple, we cannot say enough good things about Honeymoon Pixie! We both desired to have the most magical honeymoon experience possible and believed that a honeymoon registry would be the best way to go. After researching online about which was the best site, we found that Honeymoon Pixie had, by far, the best reviews--and they were spot on! Not only did they provide a safe and secure way to transmit funds, but their website was fun and user friendly. We had a blast creating it! Our family and friends were able to see our itinerary and choose which activities or items to give towards. It was so special to see them give towards events that would be among the most precious memories in our possession. Thank you, Honeymoon Pixie, for a superb job and an outstanding dedication in helping to make Honeymoon memories that will last a lifetime!

Registering with Honeymoon Pixie was one of the best decisions we made! Not only did it make the gift-giving process easy (for both us and our guests), but it was also a lot of fun. Deciding what to put on the registry helped us narrow down what we really wanted to do on our honeymoon. Plus, our guests enjoyed knowing that they'd given us "scuba diving" or "champagne in our hotel room." We made sure to take pictures to include in thank yous, so guests could see us putting their gifts to use. The entire process was simple and straightforward - from designing the registry site to actually getting the check. The HP team was professional, timely, and attentive to our needs. Overall, we were extremely satisfied with our experience. Thanks to Honeymoon Pixie, we were able to spend two amazing weeks in New Zealand without stressing about our finances. We would definitely recommend this service to anyone considering a honeymoon registry.

Honeymoon Pixie was a great service for us! We really wanted a honeymoon as a gift and our guests loved the page we created at Honeymoon Pixie! The best part is it's a free site and you can set it up so there is no fee at all for the couple! There is a small service fee per guest donation, but we chose to charge it to the guests (which is very little per transaction). The site was easy to use and the guests all loved it. Any slight problems we had were addressed very quickly when we emailed them. We chose to have the money sent to us as a check and we received it in less than a week! This is a great site with wonderful options, friendly and helpful staff, and a beautiful easy to use site!

Our entire registry was done through Honeymoon Pixie. We decided to use a wedding registry because we've lived together for some years and have everything we need for our home. The weddign registry allowed us to have the honeymoon of our dreams in Bora Bora and Tahiti.
I chose Honeymoon Pixie in particular since there was no cost and I had the option of choosing whether we or our guests paid teh credit card charge free. Setting up the registry was extremely easy and they even gave sample trips that we could go off of. We got tons of compliments by our guests for the wedding registry. They had fun choosing activities that we would be doing for our honeymoon. I would definitely recommend Honeymoon Pixie to any couple considering a wedding registry.

There are several unmanned aircraft sitting on a table at the Alaska Unmanned Aircraft System Interest Group's annual meeting in Anchorage. They're just a few pounds and look like something you'd find in a hobby shop.
But you should probably resist the temptation to pick one up and play with it. One of them costs a $100,000. Another one, the Aeryan Scout, has a $75,000 price tag.
Many Alaskans were introduced to the Scout this past winter, when a Russian tanker embarked on a historic journey to Nome to deliver fuel. The miniature airplane was sent to gather images of sea ice, to help chart a safe course for the Renda -- and the Coast Guard icebreaker that cleared its path.
At first, these drones were used primarily by the military. But Alaskans are finding more and more applications for this technology. Shell Oil has used these aircraft in a pilot project, to watch out for bowhead whales while exploring for oil in the Arctic. BP is looking to use them to improve its oil spill response capabilities.
Some at the conference wondered out loud about how unmanned aircraft might have been useful in preparing for recent floods in Southcentral Alaska. They say the drones, which can fly for hours at a time, might have helped identify places where flooding was imminent.
"I can't imagine a better place than Alaska to test this," says Greg Walker, one of the lead unmanned aircraft researchers at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. "I'm always looking for sort of a game change, something transformative."
The drones are already changing the way scientists count sea lions in Alaskan waters.
"It may look like a toy," says Walker, "but we've researched marine mammals in the Aleutian Islands, flying in 40 mile-an-hour winds off a ship."
Tim Meintz, a former fisherman who now works for the North Pacific Fisheries Foundation, believes the drones are helping to fill in the gaps of knowledge about sea lions and their decline.
"It'll get to the truth, whether the fishermen are the problem, or aren't the problem," says Meintz.
Tim Carroll, whose company Saltwater Inc., does research for the National Marine Fisheries Service, believes the aerial cameras can help researchers better understand the behavior of sea lions when they come in contact with fishing nets.
"We could move up and down the net and see the full length of that net with fairly good clarity," says Carroll, who wants to know if contact with the net changes the mammal's feeding behaviors.
Ro Bailey, who is in charge of special projects at the Poker Flat Research Range near Fairbanks, says images from an unmanned aircraft have caused scientists to rethink some of their theories on the disappearance of sea lions.
"We discovered we had a killer whale pod that was feeding on them. That's a discovery that no one made before," said Bailey.
Bailey would also like to see the drones used for search and rescue operations.
"Think about the opportunity to put an aircraft, a small aircraft up quickly and look for a heat signature," said Bailey. "For one thing, your lost person is lost for a short period of time. And that's important because you also have fewer searchers at risk."
Still, there are skeptics who fear this technology will be abused to spy on people and invade their privacy. Another worry: the drones might interfere with the safety of conventional aircraft.
Many at the conference say they want to learn more about the Federal Aviation Administration's plans to implement laws that will regulate the ownership and operation of unmanned aircraft – which will be able to be flown commercially.
Reed Greenwood, a US Army helicopter pilot, believes these miniature flying machines are the way of the future.
"From my standpoint as a soldier, it's about saving soldiers' lives," says Greenwood. "It is very exciting. I think we'll all come together and find a great solution."
The conference will continue through Thursday at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Midtown.

Yamaha's MT-09 middleweight roadster should be spectacular – a worthy rival to Triumph's mighty Street Triple. Experienced riders will love the power from its 115bhp, 850cc three-cylinder engine, its ability to do easy stunts and the huge reserves of ground clearance available. Newer riders will enjoy the motor's flexibility, light weight and low seat. It's as happy doing the daily ...

The first new road bike to be produced by Husqvarna since BMW took over the company in 2007. In essence it's a re-badged, re-styled parallel twin-cylinder BMW F800 with a 100cc bigger motor.

There are a lot of good points about buying a maxi scooter like the SR Max. Fuel economy is one, simplicity is the other. There aren't many full-licenced motorcyclists who would buy a scooter on these benefits alone because of the image they portray of being 'a ladies bike'. Maybe this is why Aprilia has wound up the 'sport-styling' knob ...

Herb Alpert, Music's Big Giver
Over the past 16 years the Alpert Foundation has given grants to CalArts in order to support the Dizzy Gillespie chair in music, the Dizzy Gillespie Recording Studio, music programs, scholarships and community education programs for children. WIth the $15 million, Alpert has now given nearly $24 million to the school. The foundation has also donated $100 million to musicians, students and other programs around the country.
How does a trumpeter have so much money? Alpert and Jerry Moss sold A&M records to PolyGram in 1989 for a reported $500 million and are also said to have picked up an additional $363 million in stock and cash when they sold a music publishing company to Seagram in 2000.

Kong cat toy a favorite
By L A in Montana
from Havre, Montana
About Me Long-time Pet Owner
Comments about Kong Naturals Mice Cat Toy:
It had been 14 years since we had a kitten and we were adopted by a 7 month old who is defintely full of energy. He loves these although he does eventually chew them so they don't look the best. However, upon examining them they do not appear to pose any hazzard or risk even when showing the wear. He plays for hours with these things.

Good for Old and Young
By House of Pets
from Corpus Christi, TX
I didn't think these were going to be anything special, but the cats LOVE them! Three cats, two mice and someone is always unhappy they don't have one. I'm going to have to order some more!
these are my cats favorite's mice!
By Bere
from San Diego, CA
I take care of two outdoor-indoor cats, I never thought they'll like toys since they get to play 1/2 of the day outside on my neighbors yard, chasing (but not catching) birds and bugs... So I was really surprised on how much they love these mice! I have bought a couple of cat toys before and they pretty much ignored them all until I got these mice! They really like these. The bigger cat, as soon as comes homes, grabs one mouse and carries it to his bed or into the bathroom and plays for hours with it!Great toys, perfect size, and I guess the catnip really last long 'cause they keep on going crazy after weeks of tossing them around every day.

United States Senator
April 27, 2006
For Immediate Release
Contact: Zach Lowe - (202) 224-8567
Remarks of U.S. Senator Russ Feingold
On the Renewal of the Voting Rights Act
April 27, 2006
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am pleased to be here today for this first hearing on the renewal of the Voting Rights Act.
First, I'd like to welcome Chairman Sensenbrenner and Ranking Member Conyers and thank them for being here. Chairman Sensenbrenner, your leadership on this issue has been heartening. You came to this issue in 1982 admittedly as a skeptic. Yet you approached the issue with an open mind, and ultimately came away with the impression that, as you have said, "the ingenuity of the human mind is limitless when it comes to devising ways to rig elections or to favor certain candidates." In light of the evidence presented during that reauthorization process, you worked tirelessly to ensure the Act's reauthorization. We were fortunate to have you as a champion of the Act at that time, and we are fortunate to have you here again today as Chairman.
I also welcome my colleague and friend, Representative Conyers. Few in this Congress have done more to advance civil rights than Mr. Conyers. He and I have worked closely on many legislative issues, including racial profiling, bankruptcy, and the integrity of our electoral process. I'm very glad you could be with us here today.
The Voting Rights Act has been hailed as the most important piece of federal legislation in our nation's history. Not just the most important piece of civil rights legislation, but the most important piece of legislation ever passed. This may well be true: it is from our political rights, our rights of citizenship, that all other freedoms flow. Without a meaningful chance to vote, there can be no equality before the law, no equal access to justice, no equal opportunity in the workplace or to share in the benefits and burdens of citizenship.
In 1965, the year that the Voting Rights Act first passed, our nation was failing to fulfill one of its most fundamental promises: representation for all. At that time, African Americans were excluded from almost all public offices in many areas of the South, and discriminatory election practices at the state level were having a devastating effect on the ability of minorities to exercise their right to vote. In response to the horrific events in Selma, Alabama and after years of effort in Congress and around the country, on August 6, 1965, the Voting Rights Act became law.
Certainly, much has changed since then. The Voting Rights Act has allowed millions of minority voters to exercise their constitutional rights to participate fully in elections. There are a record number of African American and Hispanic members serving in Congress today, and the number of minorities serving in other levels of government has increased dramatically as well. Furthermore, the Act has been amended to cover non-English speaking minorities such as Latinos, Asian Americans and Native Americans, Alaskan Natives, and other minority groups, and has been used to examine and challenge new election formats that dilute minority votes.
Unfortunately, we have much more work to do. As the record that our witnesses present helps to illuminate, in each election cycle, many Americans are still disenfranchised by discriminatory redistricting plans, voter intimidation tactics, long lines at polling places, inadequate numbers of voting machines, and lifetime restrictions on voting rights for ex-felons. In 2007, key elements of the Voting Rights Act, including the federal pre-clearance requirement, provisions related to federal examiners and observers, and certain language assistance provisions, are due to expire.
Voters should not be put in the position of having to refight the battles won in the civil rights struggle. We should be building on the success of the Voting Rights Act, not turning back the clock in the face of ongoing threats to our election system. I hope today's hearing will be the first step in that process in the Senate, and I look forward to working with supporters of the Voting Rights Act on both sides of the aisle to reauthorize the Act this year and make sure we establish the legislative record needed to support it in court.
I want to thank you again, Mr. Chairman, for holding this important hearing, and thank our witnesses from across the Capitol for their work on this issue and for joining us today.

The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth Announces Summer Art Camp and Art Study at the Modern 2013
Our popular Art Camp at the Modern is back! Art Camp is for ages 4 to 14, and Art Study is for ages 15 to 17. This year we have added an extra week to accommodate the growing number of campers and a new camp just for preschoolers! Our volunteer program returns as well, and this year we are accepting applicants ages 17 and older. The Modern's unique programs for young artists emphasize learning through direct observation of art and thoughtful activities inspired by works on view at the Museum. This introduces students to some of the complex and challenging concepts and practices behind modern and contemporary art. Distinguished area artists are invited to design and lead art activities based on the art in the galleries. Activities encompass everything from artmaking in the traditional sense to interdisciplinary exploration. This year's Art Camp and Art Study focus on the Modern's permanent collection. Grouped by age and accompanied by their counselors, art campers spend time in the galleries and on the grounds exploring the art and architecture, followed by time in the Museum studio where they work with two artists each session. Instructors provide enriching opportunities to process, apply, and respond to ideas formed in relation to the art on view. The last day of camp ends with a reception and display of the campers' artwork to celebrate their creative accomplishments with family and friends. Campers make exciting discoveries concerning art, the world, and themselves through Art Camp at the Modern. Registration online begins Friday, March 29, at www.themodern.org. For questions, please call 817.840.2121, or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com. SCHEDULE AND PRICES Art Camp Almost 5: June 4-7, 10 am-noon $90; Modern members $80 The Modern is excited to offer this new camp to preschoolers. This camp begins with an orientation on the first day, including a tour of the collection, museum facilities, and grounds. The rest of the week focuses on gallery projects with an artist who leads campers through the works in the Modern's collection. Friday concludes the week's activities with an exhibition of the campers' creations and a reception for family and friends. This camp prepares young children for future camps at the Modern. Parents have the option to remain with their children during the week. Space is limited to 12. Ages 5-8: June 17-21 and June 24-28, 9 am-noon $135; Modern members $125 This year we have added an additional week to accommodate the large number of participants in this age group. This camp is led by two artists, and campers rotate between two classrooms of studio instruction. Snacks are provided. Ages 9-11: July 8-12, 10 am-2 pm $155; Modern members $145 Two artists lead these campers through gallery activities and studio instruction, rotating between two classrooms during the day.

When Ebanks didn't hear his name called in those first 30 picks, it had to be a huge letdown. Once you turn that thing over and start picking from No. 31 - the start of the second round - all that guaranteed money dries up. Every penny. Those second-rounders aren't much different from free agents in that they will have to be impressive during the NBA Summer League and carry that over to training camp just to make a roster. And even then, instead of millions in guaranteed money it's likely to be the NBA minimum of just over $450,000.
Hopefully, though, Ebanks gets over that disappointment in a hurry and landing with the Lakers should help. No team in the NBA needs cheap labor more than L.A. because the Lakers are almost $28 million over the salary cap for next year. They have to cut and that probably means keeping at least one rookie. Ebanks and UTEP's Derrick Caracter (formerly of Louisville) were the team's only draft picks Thursday.
Perhaps just as significant, though, is Ebanks' comfort level.
"I live like two minutes away from Ron Artest and 10 minutes from Lamar. I see them all the time,'' said Ebanks, who like those two Lakers is from Queens. "Having a chance to play with them is a great opportunity.''
Indeed, while there is no plus to being picked 43rd instead of in the first 30, Ebanks probably landed in the best spot available. And now it's up to him.
"I'm a young player who's willing to learn,'' Ebanks said. "They just won an NBA championship and I have a whole lot to learn about the NBA. What better team [to learn from] than the Lakers?
"I just want to get better. I'm playing for the best team in the world. I want to go in and learn from the veterans and hopefully my career can take off from there.''
