Police On Playback: Copwatch in New York City [Video]
Police On Playback — Copwatch In New York City
By The New York Video League; Wednesday, October 24, 2012 - Znet
Stories of police brutality are often told in a way that casts victims as helpless bystanders of cops run amok. We met with Sean Pagan, a recent victim of police violence, and found that his story changes how we think about policing in New York. Sean's story shows that communities are finding new and innovative tactics for dealing with discriminatory policing, beyond waiting for legislative reform. One such tactic is copwatch, in which individuals or teams film police officers in action. But what's the history of the tactic? What are the risks, limitations and impact of filming the police? And how do these videos change the way we understand narratives of police violence?

It really is no different today then it was last month. It's not like carriers would unlock your phone if you were still within 2 years. I sure as heck don't see ATT suing you or a DA bringing up charges on an individual unlocking their phones. Now what could happen is that phones that are on a 2 year contract could be on a database and other carriers could refuse to activate them. |
If you're on contract they'll probably not unlock it in the first year. For pre-paid I hear they will unlock it after 2 months or so. Anyway you don't have to go to a store, you can just call them. |

Diagnosis and reduction of bullwhip in supply chainsTools McCullen, Peter and Towill, D. (2002) Diagnosis and reduction of bullwhip in supply chains Supply Chain Management: An International Journal, 7 (3). pp. 164-179. ISSN 1359-8546 Full text not available from this repository. Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1108/13598540210436612 AbstractAbstract: "Bullwhip" describes the general tendency for small changes in end-customer demand to be amplified within a production-distribution system. A 10 per cent increase in sales to end-customers can precipitate a 40 per cent upswing in production and subsequent downswing (as excess stocks are depleted) within a three-echelon supply chain. It is shown how proven material flow control principles significantly reduce bullwhip in a global supply chain. The evidence demonstrates that a methodology, which has evolved over several decades, provides a suitable framework for effective change. Bullwhip is not a new problem; it is a new name coined to describe a very well-known problem. Some observed barriers to change are briefly reviewed.

By accepting this settlement, we open the door to competition today and address Intel's anticompetitive conduct in a way that may not have been available in a final judgment years from now. Everyone, including Intel, gets a greater degree of certainty about the rules of the road going forward, which allows all the companies in this dynamic industry to move ahead and build better, more innovative products.
The terms of the agreement encompass Intel's activities in the CPU, graphics processor (GPU) and proprietary chipset markets. In addition to constraining Intel from using its market stature to coerce its partners' other business deals, the agreement also forces the company to restructure its intellectual property agreements with several hardware manufacturers to allow them to move more freely in the market, and to disclose to programmers that its developer-issued CPU programming software may not permit them to utilize performance-enhancing features of competitors' CPUs. Intel senior vice president and general counsel Doug Melamed emphasized that the company has admitted no wrongdoing [press release] in the settlement and said it allows Intel to "put an end to the expense and distraction of the FTC litigation."
The government originally filed suit [JURIST report] against Intel in December 2009. The settlement follows a similar suit [JURIST report] filed in November 2009 by the New York Attorney General [official website], alleging that the microprocessor manufacturer engaged in illegal conduct to further its dominance in the marketplace. Attorney General Andrew Cuomo claims that many of the company's agreements were deliberately aimed at disadvantaging AMD, Intel's primary competitor in the CPU market. Also in November of last year, Intel agreed to settle [JURIST report] all of its outstanding legal issues with AMD with a $1.25 billion payout.
Iran's human rights record continues to draw a significant criticism. In December 2009, an Amnesty International [advocacy website] report [text, PDF; JURIST report] called the actions of government forces during the civil unrest that followed the controversial 2009 presidential election some of the worst human rights abuses in the last 20 years [AI release] The Iranian government announced [JURIST report] that it had abandoned the use of stoning in August 2008 when it commuted the sentences of four people convicted of adultery and sexual offenses [BBC report]. The move came in response to intense pressure [AI release] from Western human rights groups.
In 2006, the Ontario court held that the US could seek extradition against Abdullah Khadr. The previous month, the US government formally requested his extradition [JURIST report] from Canada. He was indicted in 2006 [JURIST report] by a US federal grand jury on four counts connected to his alleged procurement of destructive devices to be used against US forces in Afghanistan in 2003 and faces a possible life sentence and a USD $1,000,000 fine. Former US Attorney Michael Sullivan said he plans to pursue the extradition "aggressively." Abdullah Khadr admitted to attending an al Qaeda training camp at age 13, but denies the allegations of membership in the group or of supplying weapons to it. Another of Abdullah Khadr's brothers, Abdul Rahman Khadr, was released from Guantanamo in 2003.
OFAC has neither issued a license nor stated that we don't need one. It suggests that it might eventually grant us a license for our work, but our application has already gone unanswered for eleven days. OFAC is well aware that the case relates to the government's decision to add a U.S. citizen to its 'targeted killing' list. To say that the matter is urgent is a dramatic understatement. Instead of issuing press releases, OFAC should simply issue us a license.
The rights groups were retained by al-Awlaki's father in June to provide pro bono legal assistance in challenging the decision of the Obama administration to approve al-Awlaki for targeted killing in January. The groups allege that the legal assistance ban issued by the Treasury Department exceeds its statutory authority and violates the First and Fifth amendments [Cornell LII backgrounders] to the US Constitution [text]. The groups argue that it violates their First Amendment rights because it interferes with their "right to represent clients in litigation consistent with their organizational missions," and violates the Fifth Amendment because it prevents US citizens from "obtaining legal representation of their interests in US courts." The ACLU described the licensing policy [press release] as an "alarming denial of rights in any one case endangers the rights of all Americans. Attorneys shouldn't have to ask the government for permission in order to challenge the constitutionality of the government's conduct."
We're trying to make sure the President, he or she, picks a good, qualified judge, not some unfit character, not some person ... who would be a lousy judge. Now, when I apply that standard to Elena Kagan, I cannot find anything about her that makes her an unfit character to me. Quite frankly, from what I know about her from listening to her for a couple of days and having people tell me about her, is I think she's a very fine person, with stellar character.
The Senate Judiciary Committee approved Kagan's nomination [JURIST report] last month with a largely party-line 13-6 vote [video]. Earlier that month, the committee delayed its vote [JURIST report] at Sessions's request. In asking for the delay, Sessions cited concerns over Kagan's positions [video] on legislation during the her time working in the Clinton administration and called her answers to questions during the hearing "less than candid." Kagan's confirmation hearing concluded in June [JURIST report]. During the hearings, Kagan addressed the effect of political bias on the court and stresed the importance of not bringing politics to the bench. Kagan's confirmation hearings began [JURIST report] with Democratic and Republican senators offering contrasting interpretations of Kagan's judicial philosophy and lack of experience on the bench. President Barack Obama nominated Kagan [JURIST report] in May to replace former justice John Paul Stevens, who announced his retirement [JURIST report] in April. Kagan became the first woman confirmed as Solicitor General [JURIST report] in 2009.
Petitioner's arguments ... are likely to succeed, will have an enormous impact on the constitutional viability of the military commissions system as a whole, and have never been addressed by this Court before. [T]he Define and Punish Clause is the enumerated power authorizing Congress to enact law-of-war military commissions to try "Offenses against the Law of Nations," ... impos[ing] limits on the scope and nature of the jurisdiction of military commissions so enacted[.] ... [T]he Military Commissions Act of 2009 exceeds those limits, based on the historical background of the adoption of the Define and Punish Clause, the consistent jurisdictional practices of American military commissions since before the Revolutionary War, and this Court's precedents on military commissions' jurisdiction and status as creatures of the law of war. [B]ecause Congress was without authority ... to enact the military commission ... Petitioner has the right not to be put on trial before it.
Last month, the US District Court for the District of Columbia [official website] allowed Khadr to amend [JURIST report] his 2004 habeas corpus petition, but refused to lift the stay on the petition pending the conclusion of his military commission. Khadr's lawyer announced that week that he will vigorously defend Khadr at his trial scheduled to begin August 10 [JURIST reports]. Khadr fired his US civilian lawyers in July and requested that his US military lawyer be fired as well. Judge Patrick Parrish denied Khadr's request and ordered US Army Lt-Col. Jon Jackson to remain Khadr's lawyer and provide him with a defense at trial. Also in July, Khadr rejected a plea deal [JURIST report] offered by the US government, which would have resulted in a five-year prison sentence. Khadr is facing murder and terrorism charges [JURIST report] for allegedly throwing a grenade that killed one US soldier and injuring another. If he is found guilty, he could face a life sentence. Khadr's defense lawyers have repeatedly sought his repatriation [JURIST report] to Canada on the basis that the Canadian government's refusal to request repatriation from the US violates the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms [text].
A judge for the US District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia [official website] on Monday denied a motion to dismiss a lawsuit [JURIST report] brought by the state of Virginia challenging the constitutionality of the individual mandate provision of the health care law. The Virginia Health Care Freedom Act was the first of its kind passed by any state, and says that no individual shall be held liable if they refuse to sign up for health care. The court found that Virginia had standing to bring the case because the federal health care law directly contradicts the state law, which the state has an interest in defending. The court also found that the question of whether Congress had exceeded its authority under the Commerce Clause [Cornell LII backgrounder] and the Tax Clause was one that "raise[d] a host of complex constitutional issues." In May, the National Federation of Independent Businesses (NFIB) [association website], a small business lobby group, joined 20 states in a lawsuit [JURIST report] challenging the health care reform law in the US District Court for the Northern District of Florida [official website].
Last month, Countrywide reached a $108 million settlement agreement [JURIST report] with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) [official website] to resolve charges that it collected excessive fees from homeowners facing foreclosure. The agreement allows the FTC to create a fund to provide refunds to borrowers affected by the company's improper fees. Also last month, the SEC charged [JURIST report] former Countrywide officials with securities fraud arising from misleading investors. The complaint alleged that the officials knew the company was issuing risky loans and that defaults and delinquencies would rise as a result. Since the financial crisis, Countrywide has also settled lawsuits with the SEC and several state attorneys general [JURIST reports].
In April, Toyota accepted a record civil penalty of $16.375 million [JURIST report] imposed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) [official website] for a four-month delay in notifying the agency about a problem with "sticky" and "slow to return pedal" gas pedals in various car models. A week earlier, the US Judicial Panel on Multi-District Litigation (MDL) [official website] consolidated more than 150 pending lawsuits [JURIST report] against Toyota and transferred them to the US District Court for the Central District of California [official website]. In March, the NHTSA enlisted the help of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) and NASA [official websites] to conduct a 15-month investigation into the sources of recent safety defects. Toyota has been under federal scrutiny since December 2009, and has conducted several recalls.

The New Adventures of Old Christine (Pix work now!)
Just over a year ago, I found myself to be the new owner of an old (35 years old, actually) Star PD-45. It was a good gun, and you guys were great helping me find new parts and such, but this girl was showing her age.
I named her Christine (as an inside joke). Having been a hard-working ranch gun, she was looking pretty tired from finger and holster wear, and the wooden grips were pretty beat up as well. She was great, but just didn't feel like she was... MINE. I had decided to do something about her appearance. I was thinking of just having the frame bead-blasted, and the slide re-blued for a simple two-tone. Then in October I discovered Rogue Tactical Coatings, a company literally right down the road from me in Medford, Oregon, and they were doing a two-tone special. SOLD! I dropped off Old Christine, and three weeks later I picked up New Christine. In a few days I should have pix of the strip/paint process to share with you, but let me assure you, I'm love with New Christine, and I'm pretty sure I'll be able to get another 35 years out of her. And yes, those are the same ol' beat up wooden grips. Cerakote works wonders. THANKS, RTC!! Last edited by DiCarnage; January 7, 2012 at 12:36 PM. Reason: Updated photo links |

I have one of those and its a great gun.
I can't see the sights anymore so it will get sold one of these days. It was well ahead of its time. Probably could mess it up and install some kind of better top sight, but would not care to ruin a fine gun. |

Among the many different reactions garnered by Obama's historic announcement of support for same-sex marriage, one that flew under the radar of most people–at least, most non-Jewish people–was that of two prominent Orthodox Jewish organizations, the National Council of Young Israel (NCYI) and the Orthodox Union (OU). In a statement, the NCYI wrote: As members …

The Happiest Day of My Life
[TMI Warning] On April 3 of this past year, my older brother got married. I'd known his wife-to-be almost as long as he had–nearly two years–and she was basically part of our family by then. So to me, that day wasn't just about the joy of one of my family members, but two. Though, actually, …

Going to be tough to bounce back from that stinker, but we have to move on. Hopefully Hilton will be rocking. Kansas state is 5 times the team we just lost to, so some things will have to change, mainly our intensity and rebounding. My guess is we get beat on the boards and lose another frustrating one. Hopefully I'm wrong! Let's see some predictions! Purple Kansas 74 ISU 65

ISU 71 KSU 64 Were good at home and terrible on the road. As long as we avoid foul trouble I expect to win.
Kansas State 64 Iowa State 73 Let's go to work
My prediction: Pain. sidenote: Probably too early for this thread. Gonna have a lot of rash predictions for the next 24 hours.
ISU will be a slight favorite, -2 or -3 perhaps, for what it's worth. And, honestly, some of the best bets you can make are taking unranked home favorites against ranked road dogs.

I wish that I could learn not to care when ISU loses. This Saturday I will be just as upset when ISU gets killed.
Hope we get to 50.

Like most of our games against them lately, I think it comes down to the last few possessions.. 64-60 type of game
**** me. K State is nothing special. And I got trollled hard on this board in Oct/Nov for saying they were the best Big 12 team other than KU preseason since McGruder/Rodriguez/Spradling is a great backcourt and Gipson/Henriquez are servicable and the lack of depth isn't a big deal. People attacked me for saying they were a top 10/20 team. Its in Hilton. 10-20 point ISU win. Good team but nothing special ISU will handle them. **** me people are drama queens on here. Did Clonesdude hack everyones account and do some mass postings?
I wouldn't be surprised if we won. But, the fact remains we lost to an absolute horrible Texas Tech team. Our NCAA Tournament resume is tarnished.
My head says 75-70 KSU My balls say 82-71 ISU

Iowa was pegged as a preseason top 5 team by one ESPN analyst and is ranked in the vast, vast majority of preseason top 25 polls
Who knows, we could have a great game plan and bet them, but I am guessing they are too much for us. KSU by 10. Hope I am wrong or Dwight Howard transferes in.

Fred said he wanted to play like Johnny Orr team unfortunately we are great games at home and some real bad games on the road.
I think we may end up winning this game just because I think our team will be focused after the TTU game. ISU-62 KSU-60

There are so many slings and baby carriers out there to choose from. They can be so great for helping to free your hands up when your baby loves to be held but you have things to get done, as well as just going for a walk with your family. What are some of your favorite brands out there that you've tried? -- Julie, StrongMoms Facilitator
I had both a sling and "backpack" carrier. The band of sling i had i didn't like only because the fabric didn't have any give whatsoever and it was difficult to fit my daughter in it comfortably (even as a small infant). As a result i used the backpack carrier most often, but i found it to be ,hot, bulky, and hard to maneuver on occasion while wearing it... I think if the sling were more "cozy" for my daughter i would have used it all the time.
I don't really have a favorite brand, but I make sure to look up reviews for all the baby gear I buy or intent to buy.
Yeah, I see what you mean. I have heard of people making their own slings for this reason! Have you heard of a Moby wrap? A lot of people swear by those! I love the Ergo carrier. I can carry my son in it up to 40-50 pounds!!

iPad survives 60-foot fall to pavement in soft case
It used to be that iOS devices only fell from high places by accident, but the phenomenon of tossing them has also become great marketing fodder. The latest example comes from the folks at G-Form, who previously tested their iPad Extreme sleeve by tossing it 500 feet from an ultralight aircraft (the sleeve also survived being run over by a car in this video).
This time it's a head-to-head with what appears to be a hard-cover iPad case in a drop onto asphalt from 60 feet up. Check it out in the video below.
The iPad in the hard shell smacks the pavement with a thud and gets smashed up pretty good, while the G-Form Extreme Portfolio soft sleeve gets a nice bounce off of impact, takes a licking, and keeps on playing whatever Pixar movie it is that they cued up.
After G-Form's last video with the toss from the ultralight, I speculated that some credit may be due to the tough glass Apple uses for iPads, but this latest video installment and all the shattered glass therein gives me a sudden appetite for crow. Anticipating such skepticism again, though, the G-Form folks have made the entire, uncut video available on their Web site for those suspicious of a possible switcheroo. … Read more

City Hall officials announced Tuesday that the Bloomberg administration has officially submitted to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development its plan to spend $1.77 billion in initial federal aid for Hurricane Sandy relief.
The Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery Action Plan calls for the money to be distributed based on level of damage and financial need.
The plan will have some owners of one- to four-family homes be reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses for repairs required by the city building code.
Homeowners will also have flexibility in selecting contractors for repairs and reconstruction.
The city also wants to set up a rental subsidy program for families who lost their homes in the storm and do not qualify for Section 8 vouchers, FEMA housing assistance or city Housing Authority apartments.
City officials also plan to make sure that funded projects meet elevation requirements set by the new FEMA flood maps, as well as one or two additional feet of freeboard.
The submission followed a 14-day comment period that generated 377 public responses, according to city officials.

Vita Schedule Academics Research Selected Publications Resources Adaptive Agents Lab My personal blog, Question Everything A must-see tutorial on Critical Thinking at YouTube See a demo of my robotics class Requires iTunes player, or Quicktime. My presentation on Biophysical Economics at the, Pacific Science Center, Science Café in Tacoma |
Welcome to my Web siteThis site has several purposes. One is to provide a support center for my students. I have links to course sites and other resources from the Academics page in the menu to the left. Another purpose is to disseminate information on my research in autonomous agents (mobile robots and cyberbots). I am interested in how natural intelligence in animals allows them to survive and carry out their basic mission (reproduction) in sometimes hostile and usually uncertain environments. Please check out the Autonomous Agents Lab page and the Robotics Class Demo to see these autonomous agents in action. One of the areas I am pursuing more vigorously these days is Energy Systems Research. I got into the alternative energy business (thermal solar) back in the '80s and participated in the engineering design of a number of active and passive systems. My specialty was control systems. In fact, this is how I got into computers. I was part of the move to incorporate the then new μ-processors into the control systems, replacing clunky relay logic. I fell in love with micros and ended up in the software development side of embedded controllers as a result. Today I am pursuing several related lines in energy research. These include a highly multi-disciplinary collaboration with many scientists around the world who are pursuing a more rigorous biophysical approach to economics. I took three months of sabbatical in the Fall, 2009 quarter to collaborate with scientists at SUNY-ESF in Syracuse, NY, on modeling the energy dynamics of macro-economics. Finally, the work I've done on machine emulation of natural intelligence has led me into some very interesting work that might more rightly be called evolutionary, cognitive neuropsychology. This research actually represents the confluence of two basic questions about intelligence in humans. The first question is: How did human intelligence arise and what is it? The second question is: If we are so smart, why are we on the brink of cataclysmic climate change and using up the last of our extractable fossil fuels with a world population that is unsustainable with anything like a reasonable and equitable living standard? Something more than just 'ordinary' intelligence — the capacity to solve problems and make decisions — is missing. What seems to be missing is a sufficient capacity to use good judgment in guiding intelligence (and creativity) when looking for solutions to problems. Please visit my Research page for more on this timely topic. I hope you find something of interest or use here. If I can answer any questions please feel free to e-mail me at the above address. |

New Info on Quilt! Knit! Stitch!™
New Suzy's Fancy™ State Fair Quilting Queens
Column #52
Dr. Carolyn Mazloomi
Those of us lucky enough to grow up in quilting families or in a community of quilters had the benefit of someone showing us the ropes, so to speak, of making a quilt.
We watched and learned (often indirectly) as mothers, grandmothers, aunts, sisters, neighbors, church ladies, and/or other friends and relatives skilled in the art selected and drafted patterns, cut fabrics, stitched tops, added backing and batting, and quilted the whole.
They taught us all sorts of "insider" knowledge, such as pattern names, quilting terminology, what sort of thread and needles to use, how to tie off a stitch, and the like. Oh sure, we might mess up, and our first efforts might not have been much to brag about, but we nevertheless had someone to guide us and help us avoid outright disaster.
Noted quilt artist, historian, curator, author, and founder of the Women of Color Quilter's Network, Dr. Carolyn Mazloomi, had no such guidance. Although there was an artistic vein running through her family, no one quilted.
When she was growing up, Dr. Mazloomi's interests centered around airplanes, which eventually led her to earn a Ph.D in aerospace engineering (the first African American woman to do so). It was not until while at a work conference in Dallas, Texas that—on a whim—she decided to attend a quilt show. It was a revelation to her and it was there that her creative urges and engineering training were piqued and fused to turn her in a new direction. Put another way, she got bit hard by the quilting bug.
Dr. Mazloomi was living in California at the time and she went home determined to make a quilt of her own. She knew that she wanted her quilt to have a cotton batt, but all the batts she found were polyester. She decided to make her own batt using the only source of flat cotton she was aware of: wound dressing.
Since she was making a full-sized quilt, a package of wound dressing didn't go far, and she made so many trips to her local pharmacy to buy more cotton that finally the pharmacist came out to see who was buying up the store's inventory. No doubt harboring images of severe blood loss, he walked out from behind the counter and very seriously urged Dr. Mazloomi to take the injured person she was caring for to the hospital.
With the batt finally in place and the quilting finished, Dr. Mazloomi decided that she needed to launder her quilt. No one had told her that she needed to wash her fabrics before cutting them to make her quilt blocks, however. She threw the quilt in the washing machine and then popped it into the dryer (no one had told her how to wash a quilt, either).
When she took the quilt out of the dryer, some of the fabrics had shrunk and the middle portion of quilt "stood up about a foot higher than the rest of it," Dr. Mazloomi laughingly recalled. "It was the ugliest thing I'd ever seen!"
Carolyn Mazloomi did not, of course, let that disastrous first effort deter her. According to her biography, her quilts have been included in five exhibitions at the Smithsonian's Renwick Gallery. Her artwork can be found in numerous important museums and corporate collections, such as the Wadsworth Museum, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the American Museum of Design, Bell Telephone, the Cleveland Clinic, and Exxon.
She has appeared on television on "The CBS Morning Show," "Reading Rainbow," "The Today Show," CNN, and has been the subject of several film documentaries. Dr. Mazloomi is one of six artist commissioned to create artwork for the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center Museum.
She has authored many books on quilting and curated numerous quilt exhibitions all over the world. In 2003, she was awarded the first Ohio Heritage Fellowship Award not only for her artistic achievements, but also for her community service related to the arts.
Her organization, Women of Color Quilter's Network—which has almost 1000 members—has been recognized by the International Labor Department in Geneva and the United Nations for its developmental programs to help advance women. She serves on the board of directors of The Alliance for American Quilts.

Put on your thinking cap and dream up something new
Published on Wed, Jul 23, 2008 by

Hoping to join the ranks of the Post-It note creator and the coffee cup cozy inventor, Fritz Braunberger, of Sequim, is beginning to bring two products he devised to market.
Braunberger said it may take years and a little help from cohorts, but taking an idea through the inventive process to commercialization is possible, even if it all starts in a garage or spare room.
The thing about innovation is people arent thinking about your idea and possibly havent used a product like the one you have devised, he said. But that doesnt mean it will not be successful. It means its new, fresh and something to look into.
Nearly seven years ago while living in Southern California, Braunberger began tinkering with two projects. Both ideas turned into reality after he moved to Sequim, especially after joining a club for innovators and inventors called the Olympic Peninsula Entrepreneurs Network or OPEN group.
Tim Riley, of Port Angeles, is a local real estate agent and leader of the OPEN group.
The objective is to get people motivated and show them goals can be accomplished with dedication and with help from experienced people, Riley said. We have such a wealth of experience on the North Peninsula that the club has really begun to reach out and utilize resources we have in our own back yards, be that patent experts, financiers, entrepreneurs, engineers or electricians.
Riley said the group is about matching ideas with resources. The group has no formal membership but those showing up must sign a nondisclosure agreement.
We want to protect ideas and help them grow, not steal them, Riley said. But the degree of innovation is amazing in the area and if we match that with the expertise we have, the club will grow and the economy will grow.
Washington state recognized the Sequim to Port Angeles area in 2007 for its successes in innovation with the title of Innovative Partnership Zone.
The zone, which is administered by the Clallam County Economic Development Council, includes Battelle Laboratories, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Peninsula College as a team bringing innovation and ideas to market by pairing research with higher education.
There are a huge number of patents out there that are originating from Clallam County, Riley said. Once the area makes a name for itself in innovation, we will have the eyes and ears of financiers and research-and-development-based professionals, which could be a huge asset to the area and to individuals with ideas or inventions.
Braunberger said determination and cooperation helped get his projects off the ground.
One thing we talk about in our meetings is the need to network, which is really what the group is all about, Braunberger said. Its helped me line up possible investor group contacts for StrobeWise and a gentleman who has helped me construct a prototype of TimeDot.
StrobeWise and TimeDot are two of Braunbergers inventions he has taken from ideas to patents. Next is taking the products to market.
StrobeWise is a lighting system that attaches to the inside of the back window of a vehicle. It flashes an amber light when the vehicle decelerates.
Washington State Patrol representatives have requested units from Braunberger in order to test their effectiveness on their own patrol vehicles. Also, the inventor has worked with Port Angeles car dealership owner Howie Ruddell to see how he can best market to new car dealerships.
Im trying to go through a similar process that the inventor of the center, high-mounted brake light went through, Braunberger said, indicating the invention became the standard in new vehicles. I look forward to StrobeWise having that kind of success.
Braunberger also has been tinkering with a sticker label that changes color after a predetermined amount of time. Called TimeDot, the sticker could be used for vehicle registration or breast milk.
You are supposed to throw breast milk out after five days, but if you are putting bottles in the fridge at different times and different days, you can lose track of which is old and which is new, he said. The TimeDot would change colors after five days, and the mother would know not to give the child spoiled milk.
He said other time-sensitive stickers are on the market already but that his is temperature independent.
The group really gave me some resources to take these ideas to the next step, he said.
The group not only calls upon the resources of those in attendance, but since the meeting place is the Lincoln Center in Port Angeles, they are steps away from the Business Incubator, which carries a variety of resources and connections to align clients with resources.
Id encourage anyone with an interest in helping projects progress or those with an idea of their own to show up and try to bounce it off other people, Riley said. Its amazing what can happen for innovation with networking.
The Olympic Peninsula Entrepreneurs Network, or OPEN group, meets from 7-9 p.m. the third Thursday of each month at the Lincoln Center, 905 W. Ninth St., Port Angeles. The group is available online at www.open2ideas.net.

"As Fed chairman, every time I expressed a view, I added or subtracted 10 basis points from the credit market. That was not helpful. … And so you construct what we used to call Fed-speak. …I would catch myself in the middle of a sentence. Then, instead of just stopping, I would continue on resolving the sentence in some obscure way which made it incomprehensible. But nobody was quite sure I wasn't saying something profound when I wasn't."
[Not an exact transcript - just notes to myself]
On question of letting all tax cuts expire so we can cut them next year [The Patty Murray idea]: "It's not something any of us should contemplate."
Timing of a plan: What we want to do is bring both sides together after the election.
Recognition that we need a long-term plan: "Our challenges are very manageable. But we can't put them off forever. We can't delay this."
"If we say right now to the world, we're going to extend all those deadlines, and we don't do anything to get more growth now and lock in some fiscal savings, "what's the going to do for confidence."
"It would not be responsible to put those things off."
Extending the taxes for the wealthy would be deeply irresponsible. It would cost $1 trillion over 10 years. Where are you going to find that $1 trillion. There's not an economically responsible trade off. To delay would be expensive.
The president is trying to balance two things:
1) Healing the damage. more growth now
2) Break the political stalemate and restore fiscal sustainabilty.
"Let's extend the middle class cuts. If we do that, that takes away most of the uncertainty from the fiscal cliff."
"And let's have a balanced package of fiscal reforms, that raises revenue through tax reform and savings that extend the solvency of medicare, medicaid and SS. And leaves money for investment in education and infrastructure."
On the Bush tax cuts:
"He's going to stand by that. He's absolutely committed to that." [to letting them expire - the tax cuts for the rich]
On Simpson-Bowles:
Why didn't we embrace it more fully?
There are two reasons:
1) They chose as their mix too deep on defense for a commander in chief to embrace
2) Savings on entitlements were designed in a way that were very tough for us to support
Here's the full quote from CNN.com. http://www.cnn.com/2012/01/09/politics/gop-nh-main/index.html?hpt=hp_t1
Asked about health insurance at an event in Nashua, New Hampshire, Romney said he wanted a person to be able to own his or her own policy "and perhaps keep it the rest of their life."
"That means the insurance company will have the incentive to keep you healthy. It also means if you don't like what they do, you can fire them," he said.
"I like being able to fire people who provide services to me," Romney added. "If someone doesn't give me the good service I need, I want to say I am going to get somebody else to provide that service to me." - Jan. 9, 2012
"Deficit-worriers portray a future in which we're impoverished by the need to pay back money we've been borrowing. They see America as being like a family that took out too large a mortgage, and will have a hard time making the monthly payments. "This is, however, a really bad analogy in at least two ways. "First, families have to pay back their debt. Governments don't — all they need to do is ensure that debt grows more slowly than their tax base. The debt from World War II was never repaid; it just became increasingly irrelevant as the U.S. economy grew, and with it the income subject to taxation. "Second — and this is the point almost nobody seems to get — an over-borrowed family owes money to someone else; U.S. debt is, to a large extent, money we owe to ourselves."
Investment strategists and money managers expect the S&P 500 will rise 7%, on average, in 2012, according to an exclusive CNNMoney survey.
While Schaeffer's Investment Research's Ryan Detrick agrees that debt problems will result in ongoing volatility, he's more optimistic about the market's overall performance for the year.
"Europe's problems are obviously still out there, and there's potential for more curve balls, but we're making a bullish assumption: things won't spiral out of control and we will get some good news," said Detrick, whose year-end target for the S&P 500 stands at 1,450, which translates to an impressive 15% gain for the year.
From WSJ: in short, sounds like everything's still a mess, but you can buy gold, government bonds…and stocks. "Robert Prince, co-chief investment officer at Bridgewater, and his managers at the world's biggest hedge fund firm are preparing for at least a decade of slow growth and high unemployment for the big developed economies. Mr. Prince describes those economies—the U.S. and Europe, in particular—as "zombies" and says they will remain that way until they work through their mountains of debt. "What you have is a picture of broken economic systems that are operating on life support," Mr. Prince says. "We're in a secular deleveraging that will probably take 15 to 20 years to work through and we're just four years in."
"Mr. Prince also thinks stocks are attractive from a long-term perspective, especially compared with bonds or cash. Broadly, discounted earnings-growth rates, which reflect the expectations about future earnings implied by current prices, are negative, he says. "A moribund economic outlook "is pretty priced in right now," he says. "If we have a long, drawn out deleveraging process without substantial air pockets, chances are equities are a pretty good bet, ironically."
"In the U.S., leveraged investors who can borrow money at rates near zero could find a good deal in Treasurys, Mr. Prince says.
I always need to take an extra minute to think through baseline issues. David Walker explains it pretty well in Politico (Oct. 20).
The supercommittee could choose from two primary bases to keep score. The first is the Congressional Budget Office's extended baseline, or the current-law baseline. This assumes that the Bush tax cuts will expire at the end of calendar 2012; the alternative minimum tax will not be addressed and physician reimbursements under Medicare will be cut dramatically.
The other is the CBO's alternative baseline, or the current-policy baseline — which assumes that most of the Bush tax cuts will be extended; the alternative minimum tax will be patched and physician payments will not be cut dramatically.
The latter method results in more than $6 trillion in additional deficits over the next 10 years.
Because the hole is deeper under current policy, it's much easier for Congress to show big progress. That's why Walker recommends looking at current law.

the agency is considering ideas, like gaining the right to deliver wine and beer, allowing commercial advertisements on postal trucks and in post offices, doing more "last-mile" deliveries for FedEx and U.P.S. and offering special hand-delivery services for correspondence and transactions for which e-mail is not considered secure enough. Mr. Donahoe's hope is to cut $20 billion of the $75 billion in annual costs by 2015. To do that, he wants to close many post offices and slash the number of sorting facilities to 200 from 500 and trim the agency's work force by 220,000 people, from its current 653,000. (A decade ago, the agency employed nearly 900,000.)

We've all been taught that forgiveness is an integral part of our spiritual lives. We understand that forgiveness enables us to let go of pain and anger, heal our relationships, and grow in compassion and humility. But what is forgiveness, really? And why does it often seem difficult, if not impossible, to achieve?
What You Will Receive:
Forgiveness is the acceptance of self in the larger context of Self
Rabbi Rami Shapiro has a unique way of describing the process of forgiveness. Here he describes the shift in perspective that makes forgiveness possible—the central work you will engage in with The Forgiveness Challenge:
"Imagine a spot of black crude oil in the middle of a thimble filled of water. When we look at the thimble, the oil demands and dominates our attention. Now imagine pouring this thimble of water along with the spot of oil into a coffee mug of water. The spot is still there, though a bit less noticeable. Now pour the mug into a bowl, and the bowl into a large pot, and the pot into a pond, and the pond into a lake, and the lake into the ocean. The spot of oil is no less, but the water containing it is so much more. The attention given the oil is negligible. It is lost in the vastness of the ocean.
Now imagine that the oil is something hurtful done to you. The thimble of water is narrow mind, the relative self we focus on day in and day out. The ocean is spacious mind, the absolute Self we also are.
When we focus on the thimble, we are obsessed with the oil. When we focus on the ocean, the oil is nowhere to be seen. The Forgiveness Challenge is learning to move from narrow mind to spacious mind over and over and over again."
Boot Camp for "Self-Awakening"
The Forgiveness Challenge offers you a 21-day training program in what Rabbi Rami calls "Self-awakening"—or realizing directly that you are at once both a worldly self and a divine Self that transcends time and space. For the next three weeks, you will experience a variety of contemplative practices and psycho-spiritual exercises that work five core dimensions of being: body, heart, mind, soul, and spirit. Each endeavor is designed "to awaken the narrow to the spacious" and allow the acceptance of the experiences of self in the larger context of Self.
Our course will begin with a live video session with Rabbi Rami on Wednesday January 29th, 2014. We'll outline our objectives, discuss expectations, and consider obstacles that may arise during the journey.
Then the work really begins.
Once a week for the next 21 days you will receive an email from Sounds True indicating your assignments for that week. Each day asks you to complete five core practices along with a daily reflection. You can log in to the community forum at any time to share your experiences with fellow students. In addition, join Rabbi Rami for two live video sessions on Wednesday February 5th and 12th for continuing support. Our course will conclude with a live video session on Wednesday February 19th, where Rabbi Rami will summarize what we've experienced and help us prepare to continue this work in the days ahead.
Forgiveness: A Wise Way to Live Life
"Forgiveness is what allows us to see through the illusions we've come to believe about life so that we can navigate our days with more clarity and less bruising," explains Rabbi Rami. Yes, The Forgiveness Challenge will give you new tools and skills for working with forgiveness when life gets a little (or a lot) messy. Yet perhaps even greater, you will gain a new understanding of the possibility for freedom and joy available in the midst of everything we experience.

Indie Jeff's Weekly Picks: September 12-16
I've got a bit of indie controversy to report this week. Italian developer Molleindustria's latest game--Phone Story--was recently released for Android devices, hot on the heels of Apple's decision to pull the game shortly after it launched and ban it from its App Store. Apple told the developer that the game violated four separate app store review guidelines that say iOS games cannot: "depict violence or child abuse," "present objectionable or crude content," "contain false, fraudulent of misleading representations" or fail to "comply with all legal requirements."

May 9, 2012As an oldschool PC player in the age of console ports, this game made me feel home, I loved it! And the execution is really outstanding, it mixes best parts of the classic and modern gaming, a masterpiece.
Aug 2, 2012This old school, tile based, real time RPG Adventure is awesome. If you like dungeon crawlers, this is a great indie title to get your hands on.
Don't expect anything like Skyrim, or the likes of that, because this IS old school.
Graphics, sound and athmosphere is above decent. Many hours of exploration to do, if you're into these kind of games.
I don't regret buying it at full price. -
Jul 14, 2012
Jul 19, 2012A must for fans of old-school RPGs. Excellent visuals, nive old-school feeling achieved through grid based movement with smooth animated transitions. A lot of exploration and an interesting story weaved in-between. A classic!

Jun 24, 2012Games is pretty neat, so fun and awesome, there's a lot of settings for the dungeons and your 4 characters, the game is so progressive and every puzzle is different, the game is visually perfect and the gameplay is very comfortable.
Jul 8, 2012The best gaming experience I had lately. Simple controls, difficult puzzles, good graphics, great atmosphere, exciting fights, team customisation and levelling. It provides the best a game like this can provide.
The dungeons remind me of the dwemer dungeons of Skyrim. -
Jul 8, 2012
Jul 17, 2012Nice old-styled game from years of Eye of the Beholder in nice moder graphics engine. Enjoyable puzzles and skill build of your party. Just casting spells is little bit "click that fast horror" and the last level seems not funny at all... If they will add level editor and Steam Workshop, I put this on 10 points. Now it's just 8.
Jul 19, 2012Brilliant Sound , Brilliant Graphic and BRILLIANT Game ! Easy Control and many Characters ! I love this game cause there many enemies , many levels and many puzzles ! You will love this game !!!
It cost only 15 dollars ! -

Sep 26, 2012muy buen juego para jugadores de rpg que añoran la vieja escuela , si por lo contrario no nunca jugaste a este tipo de rpg puede ser que te decepcione y no te guste
Nov 28, 2012
Dec 2, 2013This is a highly enjoyable role playing experience, as it's hard to find a similar one. The ability (or rather restriction) of moving from tile-to-tile rather than free roaming requires tactical decisions. The game manages to entertain you and it looks good while doing it.
Dec 8, 2012OMG! Dungeon Master resurrected! Can't stop playing now! So far, excellent! Is also now part of the Steam Workshop so replay value has greatly improved with people all around the world submitting their dungeons.
Jan 30, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view.
Jan 9, 2013Very good game in the style of Might and Magic (a classic PC game). The graphics are outstanding and exploration really fun in those beautifully rendered environments. This is a game I recomment for people who like to explore dungeons and build up a party of interesting characters.
Jan 23, 2013
Sep 8, 2013
Aug 28, 2013When you try a few times to play the game and still have not been able to get into the story, graphics, control of the game and over all feel, it means the game is no good.
I did try to get into it about 8 times on different occasions, but not a game I like.
I am from old school, but this one is just doesn't cut it. -

Jul 1, 2012Loved it, an ohmage to a classic style of video game. It's difficult at points but fun gfx are nice, gameplay is good, lots of replay ability. A well done tribute to a game style long gone.
Nov 27, 2012Great game,reminds me of when I used to play Dungeon Master and all the other gems.Magic could do with a bit of work,and sometimes you do become slightly outnumbered in combat, which can be a bit of a downside to the game.Overall fun,addictive,well designed and well worth a sequel in my book.

Nov 14, 2012A throwback to another age of PC gaming mixed with modern mechanics. This game is highly enjoyable and now with Steam Workshop opens the game up to a long shelf life. Give it a go.
Dec 2, 2013Maybe the best game i played in the last 3 years. It's old schooled eye of the beholder-like. I want the android version, please.
I'm seriously waiting for the second part. And I want some healing spells. -
Dec 5, 2012Great nostalgic game. This will bring back memories for older gamers, and make memories for younger gamers. A must buy for anyone who enjoys a challenge.
Dec 16, 2012
Dec 21, 2012Its a hard game, but those are always the best. You don't want games you can beat first time through and take only a few hours. Legend of Grimrock is full of mystery, puzzles, and sometimes even scares.
Another thing i loved about this game is customization. I usually spend like 30 mins putting my squad together perfectly. I suggest this game as a great Christmas gift (posted December 22nd) -
Dec 24, 2012Blast from the past. Simple-to-play game but still has plenty of depth. Stay away if you're looking for a action/JRPG type of game. Value also reflected on the game score.
Jan 10, 2013
Mar 7, 2013My first gaming love was Dungeon Master. Legend of Grimrock is basically an updated version. Explore the dungeon, solve puzzles and level up your characters. Whats not to like. The only reason its a 9 and not a 10 is that i completed it fairly quickly. Can't wait for more dungeons to crawl through!
Apr 11, 2013
Apr 9, 2013Captures all that is good of the old-school RPGs. It got also got graphic and an awesome soundtrack! It has also map editing that you can get from steam if you want another map to play on, and for such a low price, you should get it!
Jan 29, 2014Имхо, лучшая игра олд-скул жанра. Идеальный баланс сложных квестов, прокачки персонажей и боёв с монстрами
Aug 18, 2013a refreshing puzzle game, its a nice change from action orientated RPGs such as skyrim and fallout, while still keeping the thrill of exploration and strategy combat, i highly recommend you try this game, you will not be disappointed
Aug 30, 2013
Sep 2, 2013
Sep 7, 2013
Sep 30, 2013Great game, I really love games that are exactly what they say they are. Fun game and such and such, if your in the mood for a nice little classic RPG then here ya go, It'll fill that little empty spot in you better than any male pornstar
Oct 11, 2013
Nov 1, 2013
Dec 11, 2013I have never been interested in dungeon games but Grimrock persuaded me that there is at least one true adventure which takes place within the four walls and infects everyone with claustrophobia. So many puzzles, breath-hold moments and atmosperic stuff that it is impossible to forget this journey.

I've been a huge fan of shrimp and scallop ceviche for years but on my last trip to Costa Rica I discovered the wonderful sea bass ceviche that they serve in almost every restaurant. I had it every single night while there. It's just wonderful. The recipe calls for letting the fish marinade for 1 hour but I prefer at least 3 hours. I definitely want my fish "cooked".

Re: Fast Facebook Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (Beta)
I really don't like that the main news feed is so sparse and doesn't have my friends' pictures beside their statuses. If there were contact pictures there, I think I'd like this a lot more.
Some other thoughts:
- Don't like the red timestamp text
- The animations seem to "snap," awkwardly into place at the end
- Hate the zoom-in buttons in individual posts.
- When a friend posts a picture, I can't find a way to see it full-size. Just opens the post and the zoom in button mainly just zooms in on the text (in a very strange way)
- The Photos tab view is weird. All the photos are squashed in a weird aspect ratio, they only fill along the page (not up and down it), so there's very little space used on the page, and they load slowly. When you click a picture, I don't like the behaviour of there being a slightly zoomed in version below you can then pinch/zoom. Can't we just be taken to the post and see the info, likes, comments, etc? It's a weird web-view type thing going on.
- Generally doesn't feel fast, despite the name... It feels a bit stunted and awkward to get around, and is quite difficult to even read, with some of the font styles used and lack of pictures. It feels very text-heavy (almost Windows Phone-y).
+ LOVE some of the quick access panels. The one at the very top left is good.
+ Love the mini Notifications, Messages etc panels at the bottom right - very nicely implemented. Although it's impossible to distinguish new notifications from old ones - suggest the news ones have a highlighted background.
I'm afraid right now I don't really see it as a compelling alternative to the official app, Friendcaster or Friend Me. There are some nice ideas in there already though, but I think there's a bit more work to be done before this is really usable as a daily alternative to the official app. - 04-14-2012, 05:10 AM #8

Re: Fast Facebook Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (Beta)
I absolutly love the ICS look, way better than standard Facebook, and very fast using HTC one s, Stupid fast. only one comment, i wish there was a faster way to like a post. leave the pop-up window for the comments which is nice, but if you could place a like button on the news feeds without the pop-up. Thanks for all your hard work in our AWESOME android community!
