htaccess force ssl for a particlular domain
Hello forums,
How do I force SSL for a particular domain currently I have
Code HTML4Strict:
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
This is working, however I have several add on domains on my hosting and when I try to access the other add-on domains, the add on domains are also forced to use SSL .
I tried this:
Code HTML4Strict:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mydomain\.org$ [OR] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.mydomain\.org$ RewriteRule ^/?$ "https\:\/\/www\.mydomain\.org\/" [R=301,L]
But it is giving me an infinite loop.
Thanks.Don't Panic

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} exampledomain\.org$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://www.examplemydomain.org%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L,NE]Don't Panic

That's pretty close ( ) but I believe that {HTTPS} can only be null or "on" (without the quotes) so I check for not port 443 (SSL off). Your second line is SPOT ON! Your third, though, bothers me as the regex is simply the start anchor then the redirection - I'd recommend ".?" (without the quotes) as it will forct the match you're looking for.
Is there a reason you're using the No Escape flag? IMHO, that's not needed.
To summarize, my code looks like:
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$ RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} exampledomain\.org$ [NC] RewriteRule .? https://www.examplemydomain.org%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

L to R R to L Alpha
Pitch one begins in an open book for the first 12 feet protected by small nuts (~5.7). The book leads to a groove--narrow chimney heading upwards and to the climber's right. Follow the chimney until its end for roughly 120 feet. It becomes progressively narrower and begins to squeeze, and it squeezes for a good distance! Sling and enjoy the chock stone deep within the chimney. Until the chock stone is encountered, big gear is helpful in the chimney (otherwise, pro is scarce). After the chockstone, the protection opportunities narrow to hand sized pieces deep inside.
The Tombstone Crack is the furthest climb to the climber's right (to the North) on the East Face of Reynolds hill listed in the Heel and Toe guidebook. It is ~15-20 feet to the climber's right of Horror Show (100 feet right and upwards from Moors Crossing).
Standard Vedauwoo Rack required. We carried a #4 Camalot and #5 Friend and used both. Indeed, a #6 Camalot would be nice on both pitches but is not necessary.

To understand what this function computes first consider the what an
apply_op(...) method might look like from a vector class. This method would take a list of non-mutable vectors:
v_1, v_2, ..., v_p
and a list of mutable vectors
z_1, z_2, ..., z_q
and then apply the reduction/transformation operator
op over some subset of the elements in these vectors according to their placement as a set of sub-vectors in some other logical vector.
Let's consider how things are treated for a single vector argument
v_i or
z_i which we will call 'v'. This global vector 'v' is the first vector that we identity. One must understand that there are five distict vectors (or sub-vectors) being refered to here. The first vector (call it 'v') and is one of the parallel vectors that
apply_op() is called on that we have already discussed. The second vector (call it 'g') is the logical sub-vector that the client wants to represent using the elements in 'v'. This logical sub-vector is specified by the input arguments
sub_dim and
global_off. If for the time being we ignore
global_off, and then 'g' is defined in terms of 'v' as:
g(k) = v(first_ele_off+k), for k = 0...sub_dim-1
However, for greater flexibility, the client can specify that the logical vector 'g' is really a sub-vector in a larger vector (a third vector, call it 'p') and can therefore specify where 'g' exists in 'p' using
global_off as:
p(k+global_off) = g(k) = v(first_ele_off+k), for k = 0...sub_dim-1
In order to apply a reduction/transformation operator over the sub-vector 'g' in 'p' each process can only work with the elements of 'v' stored in the local process. Specifically, the local elements of 'v' stored in this process (the fourth vector, all it 'u') are:
u(k) = v(local_off+k), for k = 0...local_sub_dim-1
The tricky part of implementing this function is is determining how much of 'u' overlaps with 'g' and then getting the offset into 'p' correct. If the local elements 'u' overlaps with 'g' then this defines the fifth sub-vector (call it 'w') that defines the overlap and is specified by the return arguments as:
w(k) = p(overlap_global_off+k) = u(overlap_first_local_ele_off+k), for k = 0...overalap_local_sub_dim-1

Jere Harris, Chairman and CEO, PRG:
"It is with great sadness that we learned of the death of my dear friend and colleague Larry Kellermann. Throughout his long, distinguished career, Larry touched countless people, and he will be greatly missed. Larry had been part of PRG since the company's inception. His skills, honed throughout more than five decades in the industry, helped our company serve its clients with distinction. Larry's personal touch brought something extra to every interaction. In addition to his expertise, Larry shared with all of us his unique ability to make connections. He knew so many people that he was often the conduit by which we all shared information.
"On a more personal note, Larry had a unique passion for life and for our industry. He was one of the most well rounded people I have known. In addition to the professional relationship we shared, Larry and I spent many evenings enjoying a good meal and a cherished bottle of wine and debating a broad range of topics. Larry was always someone who brought vast knowledge and stimulating conversation to a meal. I will miss those times — his energy, his talent and his wit."
Robert Schiller, formerly with Century Lighting:
"I knew Larry for over 50 years as a fellow worker and friend. I hired him in the '50s at Century Lighting in NYC when he came with a degree in, I believe, Library Studies. I was so impressed by his vitality that I hired him for better or for worse. My gut feeling was that it would be for the better and so it was.
"He was always a joy and an 'experience' to be with. How he loved inventing wonderful stories, which once centered on the technology of training fleas for a flea circus and the origin of the 'blue laws.' His knowledge of all subjects was extensive and he could converse on a par with anyone.
"His work for the Wally Russell fund will also be sorely missed. Whatever he did he did with a fervor and energetic dedication. His love of family was no exception."
Grif Palmer, Events Western Regional Sales Manager, Barco Folsom:
"I will always remember Larry for his calm and kind demeanor.....even in the heat of a deal or big project. Larry was kind and attentive regardless of where you worked or what you could do for him. He was also very direct in telling you where you had served him well and when you had let him down. He also forgave you and moved on to the next deal. I really can't imagine LDI without seeing Larry stopping by the booth to chat and catch up on the business and my personal life. He made me feel proud to be part of this wacky industry."

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) - The Atlanta Falcons have hired Bryan Cox from Tampa Bay as defensive line coach.
Cox replaces Ray Hamilton, who was fired after a 4-12 season.
Cox coached the Buccaneers' defensive front seven and served as the pass rush specialist the last two seasons. Cox helped develop such players as defensive tackle Gerald McCoy, who had 14 sacks the last two seasons.
He previously held positions with the Jets, Browns and Dolphins. He served as pass rush specialist with the Dolphins in 2011 and was defensive line coach with the Browns in 2009-10 and with the Jets from 2006-08.
On Wednesday, the Falcons named Mike Tice to replace Pat Hill and Paul Dunn as offensive line coach.

Simply Ghost Nights ghost hunting event at Doncaster Air Museum in Yorkshire was one of the best ghost hunts we have ever experienced at this brilliant location. On this ghost hunt the spirits certainly communicated at will with our brave ghost hunters with table work, brilliant Franks box and Ovilus III sessions too. With the figure of a man captured via the CCTV as well by four ghost hunters, this was truly an amazing ghost hunt at Doncaster Air Museum.
One of the most eventful occurrences on our ghost hunting event at Knottingley Town Hall, was in the cellar and a group of ghost hunters were calling out for spirit activity when from nowhere, a brand new joinery screw hit SGN team leader Chris on the head.

With a modest splash, two public-interest think tanks this week
released their "Resilient
Coasts Blueprint," a thumbnail sketch of their proposed program
for government and the private sector to come to grips with the
significant, and growing, economic risk associated with development
on the U.S. coastline. Included in the white paper are ideas such
as tougher building codes, smarter land use policies, and support
for a robust private insurance industry for coastal-related
Sponsoring the study were Ceres, a "national network of investors,
environmental organizations and other public interest groups
working with companies and investors to address sustainability
challenges such as global climate change," and the Heinz Center, a "nonprofit,
nonpartisan institution dedicated to improving the scientific and
economic foundation for environmental policy through multisectoral
The term "resilient coasts" has become something of a
catch-phrase, or "meme," in recent years. Another PDF, this one
hosted at the Ole Miss website, for example, authored by John Jacob
of the Texas Sea Grant (Texas A&M) and Stephanie Showalter of
the National Sea Grant Law Center (University of Mississippi), uses
the same term in its title, "The
Resilient Coast", and offers a somewhat more detailed
exposition of many of the same ideas found in the Heinz/Ceres
offering. And while the Heinz/Ceres "blueprint" glosses over some
of the thorny jurisdictional issues involved in actually carrying
out sophisticated land use planning that recognizes and adapts to
coastal risks, Jacob and Showalter's document takes a much closer
look at issues of national policy and local autonomy.

In the End, All We Have Is the Truth
by Charles Lemos, Mon Jul 26, 2010 at 11:25:12 AM EDT
There are those who are arguing that today's publishing of over 91,000 ISAF and US military documents, the largest leak of military documents in history, sheds little new light on the Afghan War. I beg to differ. Not that I expect our government to tell us the whole truth particularly when it comes to sensitive war information but on the other hand I don't expect the government to willfully mislead us either and in at least one instance, the downing of a US military chinook helicopter by the Taliban using surface-to-air missiles, that is the case. And given that we just scratched the surface of a titanic data dump, we are likely to learn more in the upcoming days and weeks of other instances where Western governments have willfully misled the public on the situation in Afghanistan.
The searing and inescapable fact is that today more than half way through 2010, the Taliban is stronger than at any point since they were toppled from power in 2001. We can blame Pakistan for aiding and abetting the Taliban but that relationship is now a two decade long one and not exactly a state secret. That Pakistan's ISI has played a double game should not obscure another searing and inescapable fact: the Taliban's resurgence is primarily a factor of 'blue on white' incidents.
There is a lot of jargon in these reports but color coding military-speak is remarkably straightforward. There are color codes for each of the actors in the Afghan conflict in the leaked reports.
Blue= friendlies, or International Security Assistance Force (ISAF)
Green = Afghan National Army or other Afghani forces such as the police
White = Civilians
Thus, in the next few weeks, when you hear of "blue on blue" that would be friendly on friendly fire, or ISAF coalition forces accidentally shooting at each other. Green on green would be Afghanis accidentally or deliberately shooting at each other while blue on green signifies that ISAF troops accidentally hit the Afghan army or police. Blue on white would be ISAF or US forces shooting at Afghan civilians.
Say what you will about the now cashiered and retired General Stanley McChrystal's disrespect for members of the Obama Administration but one thing he got right was that every civilian death created ten new Taliban insurgents. He called it "Taliban math." His exact quote in the Rolling Stone article was "for every innocent person you kill, you create 10 new enemies." Hence, the rules of engagement were tightened on his orders and that did lead to a drop in blue on white fatalities. To loosen the rules of engagement, as some are calling for now, would unnecessarily lead to more civilian deaths and in the end only hasten our inevitable defeat.
The logs released today reveal at least 144 blue on white incidents. From The Guardian:
Some of these casualties come from the controversial air strikes that have led to Afghan government protests, but a large number of previously unknown incidents also appear to be the result of troops shooting unarmed drivers or motorcyclists out of a determination to protect themselves from suicide bombers.
At least 195 civilians are admitted to have been killed and 174 wounded in total, but this is likely to be an underestimate as many disputed incidents are omitted from the daily snapshots reported by troops on the ground and then collated, sometimes erratically, by military intelligence analysts.
Bloody errors at civilians' expense, as recorded in the logs, include the day French troops strafed a bus full of children in 2008, wounding eight. A US patrol similarly machine-gunned a bus, wounding or killing 15 of its passengers, and in 2007 Polish troops mortared a village, killing a wedding party including a pregnant woman, in an apparent revenge attack.
Questionable shootings of civilians by UK troops also figure. The US compilers detail an unusual cluster of four British shootings in Kabul in the space of barely a month, in October/November 2007, culminating in the death of the son of an Afghan general. Of one shooting, they wrote: "Investigation controlled by the British. We are not able to get [sic] complete story."
A second cluster of similar shootings, all involving Royal Marine commandos in Helmand province, took place in a six-month period at the end of 2008, according to the log entries. Asked by the Guardian about these allegations, the Ministry of Defence said: "We have been unable to corroborate these claims in the short time available and it would be inappropriate to speculate on specific cases without further verification of the alleged actions."
Rachel Reid, who investigates civilian casualty incidents in Afghanistan for Human Rights Watch, said: "These files bring to light what's been a consistent trend by US and Nato forces: the concealment of civilian casualties. Despite numerous tactical directives ordering transparent investigations when civilians are killed, there have been incidents I've investigated in recent months where this is still not happening.
The war is likely already lost if the aim was to prevent the Taliban from controlling vast swaths of Afghanistan. Most of the Pashtun areas are now effectively under Taliban control but if we continue to show such a wanton disregard for Afghan civilians then our defeat will come that much sooner and be that much greater.
That's why today's other big news from Afghanistan is such devastating news. From the New York Times:
At least 45 civilians, many women and children, were killed in a rocket attack by the NATO-led foreign force in Afghanistan's southern Helmand province last week, a spokesman for the Afghan government said on Monday.
The incident happened in Helmand's Sangin district on Friday when civilians crammed into a mud-built house to flee fighting between NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) troops and Taliban insurgents, Siyamak Herawi told Reuters.
Reports of civilian deaths and casualties caused by foreign troops are a major cause of friction between Afghan President Hamid Karzai and his Western backers and often lead to street demonstrations.
If confirmed, the Sangin incident would be among the worst of its kind during the war. At least 30 civilians were killed in a NATO air strike called in by German forces in northern Kunduz in September last year.
A spokesman for ISAF said the alliance had conducted an operation against insurgents in Sangin on Friday and was investigating the reports of civilian deaths.
"We have an assessment team there right now," Major Michael Johnson told Reuters.
Civilians were also wounded in the attack, Herawi said after a separate investigation by the Afghan government was completed.
"The investigation shows that the rocket was fired by NATO and 45 civilians, many of them women and children, have been killed," he said.
In the end, all we have is the truth and the Obama Administration would be best served by facing the hard truth that this war is unwinnable if Afghan civilian casualties mount and that US interests would be better served with the lighter footprint that a counter-terrorism approach offers. In January 2009 before taking office, Joe Biden noted that the situation in Afghanistan had deteriorated significantly and that "it's going to be a very heavy lift." Well, today it is an even heavier lift because the situation has deteriorated significantly in the eight months since President Obama announced his support for a counter-insurgency approach.

University of Georgia, 2004 - $16,950
This E-Team developed an advanced digital audio player, the Maestro Music Box. Music is entered into the box in either MP3 format or CDs and can store up to 12,000 songs. The box interacts with almost all types of portable audio devices: you can download music from your Apple i-Pod and vice-versa; you can create CDs for your car or walkman; you can control the box from anywhere in the world through any internet compatible device (PC, cell phone, PDA).
Businesses that regularly play music (bars, restaurants, retail chains) currently use a variety of devices, from playing single CDs to laptops with media players to subscribing to programming services that broadcast music to their locations. The Maestro Music Box could help these businesses catalogue and manage their music, allowing them to quickly and easily synchronize music across multiple locations.
The E-Team consisted of two MBA students and one undergraduate industrial and electrical engineering major. Advisors to the project were a professor of strategy and entrepreneurship, a software development specialist, an engineering consultant and the director of a business strategy firm.
Update: Since receiving funding the team has switched gears toward a software approach and are now in beta-testing. Visit getmaestro.com for more.
Marshall University, 2004 - $17,075
This E-Team developed an adjustable, lightweight easel called the Spider Easel. The team used user surveys and industry experience to come up with an all-encompassing design that is adjustable, versatile, sturdy, portable, and inexpensive. The Spider Easel consists of four arms and four legs constructed from aluminum tubing. The length of the individual arms and legs can be changed using adjustable compression fittings (much like a photographer's tripod). Artwork is held by gripping hardware not seen in other easels.
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, 2004 - $14,600
Bullex, launched at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, received Advanced E-Team grants in 2003, 2004 and 2005 to develop the Intelligent Training System (ITS), an innovative fire extinguisher training device. The majority of today's live-fire extinguisher training is done by taking a bucket and filling it with kerosene or diesel, and water. After an instructor lights the fire, a trainee is given an extinguisher and told to put it out. This method is expensive, can be dangerous, and often requires a HAZMAT cleanup.
ITS makes fire extinguisher training more efficient by simulating the extinguishing of a real fire, removing costly extinguishant from the equation. First, flames are generated in a clean-burning, propane-fed pan equipped with digital sensors. If users aim properly and hit the sensors, they can quell the fire without the mess. The sensors then give out a reading on how well a trainee used the extinguisher. The device is cleaner, safer, and easier to use than the traditional training method.
Bullex launched successfully in 2003, and now has 60 employees and estimated annual sales of $7.3 million. The company was featured in Fortune Small Business Magazine after making it to the final round of the magazine's national business plan competition, receiving honorable mention. Their customers include the US Navy, Northrop Grumman, Michelin, International Truck, and Trane.
Purdue University, 2004 - $17,700
This E-Team developed novel technology to generate modified root crops that produce significant quantities of vegetable oil. A cloned mutant gene named PICKLE (PKL) produces plants that accumulate large amounts of oil in their roots. The team believes radishes are promising candidates for hosting the gene because of their bigger roots, capable of storing large amounts of oil. They tested a variety of crops and established connections with the biofuels market.
Successful development of this technology would significantly expand the amount of crops that can produce commercially extractable vegetable oil. An increase in vegetable oil will be beneficial to several markets because it is a key ingredient in numerous products such as food for human consumption, biofuels, animal feed, plastics, and lubricants. The team has chosen to focus on vegetable oil to generate biofuels.
The licensing of genetically modified crops has blossomed into a multibillion dollar industry: seven million farmers in eighteen countries planted genetically modified crops in 2004.
Cornell University, 2004 - $18,000
Dairy farmers, animal processing facilities, and wastewater treatment plants use biogas generated from the anaerobic digestion of organic matter to stabilize their waste streams, facilitating processing for disposal or its conversion into usable by-products. NCIIA funding supported this E-Team in completing a technical feasibility study for a modular reactor that pressurizes and purifies biogas produced from anaerobic digestion of biomass using a closed-loop system. It was the first step toward commercialization of biogas-producing technology for use by commercial, industrial, and consumer clients who could benefit from a reliable source of clean, renewable energy.
The US water supply and wastewater treatment is a $110 billion industry, of which $32.1 billion (30%) was spent in 2002 on capital improvements at municipal wastewater treatment facilities. In the next six years, municipalities are expected to spend an additional $100 billion to meet state and federal environmental standards. The team's goal was to determine a practical system design and identify appropriate markets for commercialization, developing a thorough understanding of the economic value proposition for this technology.
Georgia Institute of Technology, 2004 - $17,000
MicroStereolithography (MSLA) is a novel layer-based microfabrication technology in which three-dimensional physical parts can be selectively created directly from a computer model using photopolymer resin. The Georgia Tech Rapid Prototyping and Manufacturing Institute (RPMI) recently developed an advanced MSLA machine that uses an innovative method of delivering ultraviolet light onto the desired build surface using a digital micro-mirror array device. Currently the machine is operated manually, but its speed and resolution could be improved by automation. The MSLA E-Team automated this machine and developed a business plan for a MSLA "service bureau" venture to commercialize the technology.
The MSLA E-Team targeted the growing six billion Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) industry, where two-dimensional, labor-intensive, and iterative manufacturing techniques are typical.
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, 2004 - $14,500
When firefighters enter a burning building, they must keep in physical contact with each other to stay together, which limits their mobility and, when contact is broken, results in injuries and fatalities. The TekAlert E-Team developed the Team Accountability Buddy System (TABS), which uses proximity-sensing wireless technology to allow firefighters to free their hands and conduct more efficient searches while maintaining team integrity. TABS allows firefighters to work a safe distance apart, determined by visibility. When a member of the group is outside the distance limit for thirty seconds, the audible and visual beacon system activates, guiding the group back to the missing firefighter. Each unit is interoperable and compatible with all other units.
North Carolina State University, 2004 - $18,000
Improving call quality and network coverage of cellular phone systems in an economically viable way is the one of the major concerns of service providers today. The quality of current wireless communication systems could be significantly improved by the use of a narrow band tunable antenna in cell phone handsets to increase network coverage, reduce the cost of materials used for manufacturing cell phones, and improve battery life. The Barium Strontium Titanate (BST) Antenna E-Team developed a low-cost method of fabricating a voltage tunable BST-based antenna.
Over the past three years, the Materials Science and Engineering Department at North Carolina State University has developed a thin film voltage controlled capacitor (varactor) using BST. The BST Antenna E-Team adapted the BST thin film technology to produce high quality integral varactors, which can be used to manufacture narrow band tunable antennas.
The BST-based antenna will help service providers increase their revenues and enable better wireless service for end-users, allowing them to differentiate their products in a highly competitive market.
Portland State University, 2004 - $10,000
Today's standard, non-custom-built wheelchairs lack the ability to adapt to the user, leading to discomfort and health problems when used in long-term care situations in nursing homes, hospitals, and assisted living facilities. With no ability to adjust, larger residents are crammed into smaller chairs, and, with no headrest on the chair back, people without muscle strength in their neck are left with their heads falling to one side. Bigger wheelchairs with headrests exist, but cost 300% more than standard wheelchairs--a prohibitive cost for most facilities. In response to this problem, this E-Team developed a wheelchair that can expand from the usual 18" wide and 16" deep seating surface to 22" wide and 18" deep, and comes with an adjustable headrest. The goal of the team was to develop a cost-efficient, adjustable manual wheelchair that addresses the common problems of people who use standard, generic wheelchairs in long-term situations.
The E-Team consisted of seven mechanical engineering majors, one with business administration experience and one with patent experience. Advisors included a professor of mechanical engineering and design as well as three members of Keen Mobility, a former NCIIA E-Team that has gone on to form a successful company based on innovative assistive technology.
Florida Institute of Technology, 2004 - $11,500
This E-Team developed the Interactive Guest Paging System (IGPS), a new restaurant pager that allows the customer to play games, view the menu, and check on the estimated waiting time while waiting to be seated. The system consists of handheld pagers with video screens and buttons wirelessly connected to a base station equipped with a touch screen, mouse, keyboard, pager charging bay, software to update the menu, and a wireless transceiver.
The team, which consisted of five undergraduate electrical engineering majors and one business administration undergraduate, planned to target casual dining chains such as Red Lobster, Olive Garden, Outback Steakhouse, etc.
University of California, Berkeley, 2004 - $15,900
This E-Team developed a wireless frost protection system for California vineyards. When the temperature in vineyards reaches frost levels (38-40 degrees), the system automatically turns on frost-prevention equipment and alerts the field manager of any trouble. The system consists of temperature-monitoring Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) deployed in the field, a computer interface showing the field manager a map of the vineyard and the temperature at each WSN, and ultra-bright LEDs in the field acting as beacons that communicate system operation and temperature zones, allowing a field manager to drive around and gauge vineyard condition from afar.
The current method of protecting crops from frost is simple and effective, but antiquated: when temperature dips, an alarm wakes the field manager, who drives around the vineyard checking thermometers and manually activating wind generators, which pull in warm air from higher elevations. Field managers usually do not go back to sleep to ensure no problems arise with the generators, leading to extreme sleep deficiency during frost spells. The E-Team's system automatically turns on the generators and allows the field manager to check on their operation remotely.
The E-Team consisted of two mechanical engineering PhD students, a mechanical engineering graduate student, an MBA candidate, and an industrial design student. Advisors to the team included the director of the Management of Technology program at UC Berkeley, a winegrowing manager for Gallo Vineyards, a viticulturalist, and a product design and strategy consultant.
Georgia Institute of Technology, 2004 - $14,800
This E-Team developed a new sensor technology, the Non-contacting Resistance Displacement Transducer (NRDT). Used primarily in the metalworking, military/aerospace, and automotive markets, displacement sensors allow accurate control of everything from robotic arms to manufacturing assembly lines. The dominant sensor on the market today is the Linear Variable Displacement Transducer (LVDT), which, while precise and robust, is expensive due to its complex structure. While researching an unrelated problem, this E-Team came up with the NRDT, a device that offers far better performance than LVDTs at a fraction of the cost. NRDT's advantage lies in its simple design, allowing the device to get less expensive as it gets smaller, while still delivering optimal performance. LVDTs, on the other hand, become more expensive as they get smaller.
Update: After winning first place in the "Most Fundable" category of the 2005 Georgia Tech Business Plan Competition, the NRDT team took its product to market. They have formed a company, Sentrinsic (intrinsic sensing), have two patents pending, have received over $150k in funding, and made their first sale in April 2006.
Pennsylvania State University, 2004 - $6,000
This E-Team developed the Shelton Wing in Ground Effect (SWIG) vehicle, a type of airplane/boat that skims the surface of water. Flying near the ground reduces drag and increases lift, allowing Wing In Ground (WIG) vehicles to move at high speeds while consuming little fuel. However, traditional WIG vehicles have significant stability and control problems, causing frequent wrecks and preventing them from achieving commercial success. Computerized flight controls have solved the stability problems of large WIG vehicles, but are too costly to be practical for small WIG vehicles. Three-axis airplane-like controls solve the stability problem as well, but require special pilot training, creating a barrier to wide commercialization. To solve these problems, this E-Team innovated the WIG, adding forward wheels to the wings (skis for water operation) that stay in light contact with the surface. The wheels balance the pitching of the vehicle, creating a reliably safe, fast, and fuel-efficient transport.
The E-Team consisted of two senior finance majors, a senior astrophysics major, a senior advertising/public relations major, and a senior aerospace engineering student with pilot experience. Advisors to the team included three professors of aerospace engineering, a patent attorney, and a financial consultant.
Case Western Reserve University, 2004 - $18,500
This E-Team developed a Wi-fi-enabled portable internet radio. The device is a standard MP3 player with the added ability to access internet radio through existing Wi-fi networks. The operating system for the device has a plug-in that is essentially a streamlined web browser with access to one internet site, created by the team, that provides links to all available internet radio stations (estimated at 10,000 in 2002).
There are no portable internet radio devices on the market. Satellite radio is the only similar service; satellite radio, however, offers 122-125 channels depending on the provider, and has content very similar to traditional radio. On the other hand, thousands of internet radio stations are in existence, offering a much more diverse selection of music.
Rowan University, 2004 - $14,395
This E-Team developed The Helping Hand, a holding device for writing instruments designed for individuals with limited hand function. The device consists of an ergonomically designed, ambidextrous top shape that lets the hand rest in its natural position, a clasp for the writing instrument, and a base plate with roller bearings. The device naturally sits in the "up" position, and, through the use of a light spring, is pushed down by the weight of the person's hand when writing. The person uses forearm and shoulder movements to write, and when ready to move to another spot on the paper, simply lifts up the arm and rolls the device across the paper.
Baylor University, 2004 - $17,500
This E-Team is working toward establishing profitable, sustainable, coconut-based business ventures owned and operated by poor people living within ten degrees latitude of the equator, where coconut trees thrive. The team is researching the marketability and effectiveness of four coconut-based products: bio-diesel (from coconut oil), pig and chicken feed (from the white "meat"), particle board (from coconut shells), and anti-erosion matting (from the fuzzy fibers on the coconut shell). The team has already made bio-diesel for rural electrification using diesel generators, and demonstrated that pigs and chickens will eat and prosper on coconut meat. With NCIIA funding the team is developing simple, affordable technologies to separate the coconut's meat, shell, and fuzz and convert them into feed, particle board, and matting.
The E-Team consists of two undergraduates in engineering, one graduate in engineering, and two MBAs. The distinguished professor of engineering at Baylor, as well as the head of the department of mechanical engineering at Papua New Guinea Technical University, are team leaders. Advisors to the team include two professors of management and entrepreneurship at Baylor.
Johns Hopkins University, 2004 - $12,000
This E-Team developed a new device designed for the early detection of acute renal failure (ARF). The device uses laser technology and Raman spectroscopy to provide data on metabolite excretion rates in near real-time (high levels of metabolite excretion are indicative of ARF). The device enables the detection of ARF in hospitalized patients up to 48 hours earlier than current detection methods. The detection of other biomarkers using this device is also possible, making the device useful in aiding with a number of clinical diagnoses.
ARF is seen in 5% of all hospitalized patients, and 4-15% of all patients who undergo cardiovascular surgery. It accounts for 30,000 deaths per year. Current detection methods are not effective in providing early detection of the disease, which is essential to effective treatment. By providing early detection capabilities, this device can give healthcare providers a jump start on effectively treating ARF.
Johns Hopkins University, 2004 - $14,400
This E-Team developed the EEG Keyboard, a Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) typewriter system capable of translating electroencephalogram signals generated from electrical activity in the brain into characters on a screen. Electrodes are attached to the user's scalp, and he or she chooses characters either by focusing on a certain row or column in a flashing six-by-six matrix or by staring at a region of the screen flashing at a certain known frequency. Initially the product was targeted at the Locked-In Syndrome (LIS) community--individuals with paralysis of all voluntary muscles in the body, leaving them virtually unable to communicate.
The E-Team consisted of two professors of biomedical engineering (one of which won the 2003 BCI competition), eight biomedical engineering undergraduates, and three faculty advisors: one from neurology, one from biomedical engineering, and one from business.
Stanford University, 2004 - $18,369
This E-Team developed a device that simplifies the process of implanting Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) devices in human hearts. CRT devices (e.g., pacemakers) are used to treat instances of congestive heart failure (CHF). Implanting them requires attaching electrical leads to the ventricular walls of the heart, which in turn cause the heart to contract at regular intervals. This E-Team's device allows surgeons to access the left ventricular wall (the harder of the two walls to reach) by passing that electrical lead through the right ventricle, rather than routing it separately into the left ventricle. This approach allows for faster procedures with fewer surgical obstacles, minimizing the chances for failure.
CHF is a major (and growing) health problem, especially in the US. While pacemakers currently improve the lives of many people with CHF, the failure rate for the implant procedure is about 8%. Furthermore, there are many patients who are too sick to undergo such major surgery. Because this device lessens the operating time and avoids the obstacles surrounding the left ventricle, it could presumably make an impact in both of these groups.
Lehigh University, 2004 - $9,241
This E-Team developed the Soda Sentry, a system that indicates when syrup has run out at soda fountains. Using infrared technology, a red light indicates to the customer when a fountainhead is out of syrup; additionally, lights go off in the employee area of the restaurant to let servers know the box needs to be changed. The product intends to optimize customer service and restaurant efficiency.
The E-Team consisted of a junior in integrated business and engineering as well as graduate students in electrical, industrial, and mechanical engineering, and computer science. Advisors to the team were a professor of management, a marketing expert, a manufacturing and operations expert, and an engineering design expert.

The DigiTails E-Team developed replacement taillight assemblies that combine the visual appeal of "Euro" style taillights (consisting of individual red lenses in a chrome housing) with the benefits of LED technology. The first prototype emulated different designs and the beta included software for creating customizable lighting designs. LEDs provide lower power consumption than incandescent lights, lower operating temperature, and a 20x longer lifespan.
The team members were from diverse academic backgrounds in business, mechanical engineering, and electrical engineering. The team's advisors and faculty had experience in entrepreneurship and engineering.
Update: The DigiTails team went on to found Spaghetti Engineering, a company built around DigiTails technology. Read a profile of company founder Michael Muhlbaier here.

Robert Luck didn't have to look far for his role models as a kid. There were lawyers living all over his North Miami Beach neighborhood. And his dad, a truck dealer, always hoped his son would become one.
Luck has accomplished that goal — and more. Luck, at age 34, was appointed last week as a state Circuit Court judge by Gov. Rick Scott to fill a vacancy on the Miami-Dade bench. He beat out four other finalists, including a couple of sitting county judges.
Luck's background stood out from the pack: magna cum laude graduate of the University of Florida College of Law, editor in chief of the Florida Law Review, law clerk for an 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals judge and prosecutor for the past five years with the U.S. attorney's office in Miami. There, he investigated and prosecuted more than 100 criminal cases.
"Robert has proven to be a great advocate on behalf of Floridians during his time as a federal prosecutor," the governor said in a statement.
Luck, who lives with his wife and two children in the same neighborhood where he grew up, said: "I am honored and humbled by the governor's appointment and the privilege of serving my home and the home of my children, parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents."

When the TCU Horned Frogs take the field against the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs on Wednesday, they'll be appearing in the bowl for the third time in six years. Following two straight BCS appearances and the departure of Andy Dalton to the NFL, TCU weren't expected to make a BCS appearance, but they came close. They went 10-2 and won the Mountain West, but finished in 18th in the BCS rankings. They needed to finish 16th to get in.
Because they missed a possible BCS berth by two spots, they drop down to the Poinsettia Bowl. There, they take on WAC champions Louisiana Tech, a bit of a step down from the BCS. Fortunately for TCU, this is their last year in the Mountain West conference. They will be a member of the Big 12 next season, and their agreements with bowls are a bit more high-profile (and financially lucrative) than the Poinsettia Bowl.
Not only is TCU less likely to get dissed by the BCS in the Big 12, the drop-off isn't nearly as severe if they miss out.

I was a bit disappointed with the recoding quality and it not containing some of their big hits, but it is a decent live capturing of Y&T live.
Y&T Biography - Y&T Discography - All Heavy Metal Bands
Following the rather public dismissal of singer Tarja Turunen in late 2005, the remaining members of Nightwish decided to mark the end of this chapter in the band's history with this DVD collection that was recorded live in concert. It showcases the Finnish metal band at their peak. Bonus material includes an hour long documentary "The Day Before Tomorrow" and a photo gallery.

Y&T are probably one of the most underrated bands I know of. This BBC recorded live album captures them in their prime, it's the original line-up with Dave Meniketti, Joey Alves, Phil Kennemore and Leonard Haze. It features two live concerts, one from their Black Tiger tour and the other from their 1984 appearence at Donington. The only song that are featured two times is Rescue me, so you don't get annoyed as was the case with the Zeppelin BBC album, which was too many versions of the same songs. A very fine live album, with no overdubs, god bless the BBC for giving us live recordings of those wonerful bands from the past and present.

Victoria line suspended after concrete flood in signalling equipment room
Updated 4:30pm Tuesday 28th January 2014 in News By Jaber Mohamed, Reporter
The Victoria Line has been partly suspended because an engineering team poured fast-setting concrete into a signalling equipment room.
Trains are not running between Warren Street and Brixton and Transport for London (TfL) has confirmed severe delays to the rest of the line.
TfL apologised for the delays and advised that a replacement bus service is in operation.
A spokesman said tickets are also being accepted on South Eastern Trains, South West Trains, Greater Anglia, London Overground and London Buses via reasonable routes.

|Years played
|2009, 7th round, 22nd pick by Vikings
Vikings' 60-second rant: Would Tarvaris be that much worse?
You have to ask, more than a third of the way through a trying Vikings season, and no more trying to anyone than Brett Favre, is the alternative — Tarvaris Jackson — that much worse?
Patriots-Vikings matchup of the day: Tuesday
Here's a matchup to watch in the Week Eight game between the Patriots and Vikings:
SNF draws highest-ever ratings for Vikings-Packers
Brett Favre's second and perhaps final visit to Lambeau Field as a visiting player drew the highest-ever ratings for NBC's "Sunday Night Football."
Vikings MVP Meter: Week Seven
Let's look at how the Vikings' team MVP candidates shape up following their 28-24 loss to the Packers in Week Seven.
Did Brett Favre earn his money?
Brett Favre was one pass away from beating the Packers, but even if he had, his play must improve.
Favre injury wouldn't completely damage value of Vikings receiving corps
If Tarvaris Jackson is forced to start for the injured Brett Favre, fantasy owners shouldn't abandon hope for all Minnesota pass catchers.
Childress: Favre has ankle injury; in walking boot
Vikings head coach Brad Childress told reporters that QB Brett Favre has an avulsion fracture and stress fracture in his left ankle and is in a walking boot. His status for the team's Week Eight game vs. the Patriots ...
Feel the tension: Childress, Favre not together
All you needed to do was watch Vikings head coach Brad Childress' postgame press conference to know that he was upset with QB Brett Favre's play.
Vikings' players of the week: Week Seven
Here are the Vikings' players of the week on offense, defense and special teams from their 28-24 loss in Week Seven to the Packers in Green Bay.
Favre needs to hit more singles, doubles
You can understand Brett Favre wanting to hit a home run in his final at-bat at Lambeau Field, but he has to consider dialing it down a notch for the Vikings to win more.
Minnesota lost Sanford to a concussion in Sunday's 39-10 loss at Chicago.||||||| Sanford leads the Vikings with two INTs.
The Vikings have signed Sanford.||||||| Sanford is a safety who started all 44 games he played at Mississippi and was a team captain during his senior year. Sanford earned SEC defensive player of the week honors after he had 11 tackles in the Rebels' upset of eventual national champion Florida. Sanford will compete for a role on special teams and as a backup to starting safeties Tyrell Johnson and Madieu Williams.

Giant Eagle, Inc. has made the decision to cease operations at its two Toledo supermarkets and accompanying fuel stations at the end of business on May 3.
"Our decision to close these locations was made only after careful consideration, particularly given the impact on our team members and customers, and after significant efforts to differentiate these stores in the marketplace," said Giant Eagle spokesperson Dan Donovan.
The company says it is thankful for the loyalty demonstrated by team members and customers for more than a decade, beginning with the opening of the Rossford Giant Eagle in 2001 and the West Central Avenue location in 2003. The company says the stores and their team members have also enjoyed meaningful partnerships with many great organizations, such as the Toledo Food Bank and the United Way, as well as the support provided to local schools through its Apples for the Students program. The company says it is extremely appreciative to have had the opportunity to support the Toledo community.
Giant Eagle says it will provide the 179 affected team members with a "fair and equitable severance package to help with their transition."
Customers were unhappy to hear the news Friday.
"Why would they want to close up a store that seems to be doing good business," said Wayne Bacon .
Giant Eagle will continue to award fuelperks! earnings to customers making qualifying in-store purchases, enabling them to earn and redeem fuelperks! through the May 3 closing date.

Agreements are regulatory decisions made by us, the terms of which are accepted by a firm or individual.
They are not the equivalent of settlement of all or part of a commercial dispute.
We may publish agreements between us and those we regulate.
A regulatory issue agreement is an agreement between the SRA and a regulated firm or individual to settle one part of an ongoing investigation. For example, a regulatory issue agreement can be used to find a way to compensate victims, while a wider investigation continues.
A regulatory settlement agreement is used between the SRA and a regulated firm or individual to settle an investigation in full.
For example, the firm or individual that we are investigating may agree to
We will then supervise the individual or firm to make sure they carry out the terms of their agreement. If they do not cooperate with us and stick to the terms of the agreement, they will be subject to further regulatory action. One of the Principles by which all firms and individuals must operate, is to "comply with your legal and regulatory obligations and deal with your regulators and ombudsmen in an open, timely and co-operative manner"
This means that if a firm or individual does not carry out the terms of an agreement between us and them, the consequences for them will be more serious.
Not all regulatory decisions are published—read more about our publication policy.

We regard this a classic route not for the great climbing -- it's pretty chossy -- but because the peak itself is worthy of such a label. This is one good way to attain the summit.
Find Cooke City, MT, just outside the northeast entrance to Yellowstone. Go to the trash transfer station just off the main highway at the west end of town. Beyond it 50 yards is a meadow and the start of the trail up Woody Creek. It starts for a couple hundred yards as a dirt road, but watch for a well-worn foot trail branching left. Take this and hike up past Woody Falls and into an area of marshy meadows. The trail can be indistinct here, but the terrain has leveled out and you've covered a couple of uphill miles.
Take a good selection of gear, both nuts in a full range as well as a good selection of cams to a #3 camalot. It is not that protection is either plentiful or especially good at times, but the nature of the rock suggests being versatile and creative, with the tools to take advantage of any opportunity for a solid piece.

The 66th Annual Exchange Club Fair of Southwest Georgia opens their gates tomorrow to the public and runs through Sunday.
Every year crowds pack the Exchange Club Fairgrounds in Albany for the rides, games, food, and livestock shows.
Organizers say this year, the grounds were updated and more attractions like a Bee Exhibit were added to the lineup. They say this year will be the best yet.
"Go by Harvey's and pick up your arms bands for the coupon and come on out here and exchange that for a $15 coupon. The kids can ride all they want to, all night long," says fair ground manager Skip Nichols.
The Exchange Club gives the fair's proceeds to about 30 different charities around Albany each year.
