Three Brookfield teens have been arrested on felony counts of forgery after they passed counterfeit bills at a grocery store in Brookfield and a fast-food restaurant in Wauwatosa.
Police said two of the teens, both 19, used fake $20 bills to make separate purchases at Pick 'n Save, 17295 W. Capitol Drive, on June 16. A cashier thought the purchases were suspicious and examined the bills, which had the same serial number. The cashier then determined the bills were fake by using a counterfeit detector pen.
An employee at the store recognized the two men and police made contact with them. They admitted to printing up the counterfeit money.
A third 19-year-old man later was arrested for forgery after police learned he had purchased the paper the bills were printed on and had driven the other two men to the grocery store.
Wauwatosa police said the suspects used fake bills from the same source at Burger King, 3880 N. 124th St., the same day.

Good 8.0
Owners were friendly. Room was clean
Beds somewhat hard. Management should invest in better mattresses.I'm not into fancy motels. If you are, this isn't your place. If you are interested in a clean place for a night's sleep, and don't care to pay for all the frills, this place is for you.
Poor 1.0
The room smelled moldy. The smell clung to the clothes we were wearing so we could still smell it 2 days later. It appeared that the staff knew of the odor because the windows were open when we arrived. I would NOT recommend this motel.

My regular store even though I live 15 minutes away & pass several stores on my way there (including the geek-approved Redstone Liquors).
Solid selection & best pricing bar none. Not the most uber-geek/esoteric choices, but they have the craft beer I'm looking for. Usually have the fresh seasonals I'm seeking, most are in the cooler where they should be.
Friendly staff always willing to help. Only qualm is with the bottle return..odd setup. And traffic situation can be brutal...even dangerous when going north on 28.

Rapid Liquors is easily the best liquor store in Mass for selection and price...whether it's wine, beer or liquor they will have the best price guaranteed.
Their craft beer selection is AWESOME...they have rare beer and hard to find limited release brews that other stores just do not have.
Their wine section is ridiculous...easy to find varieties labeled by country and/or grape. Always 2-3 dollars cheaper per bottle than every other store.

I am a huge fan of Rapid Liquors. I've been a customer of theirs for the last year and a half and I wish I learned about them sooner. They have a great selection, including domestic and international beers and all different styles. Anytime I ask for a certain beer that may be difficult to find they do their best to get it for me if they don't have it already, which they mostly do have everything I'm looking for. The staff is very knowledeable and incredibly helpful. Best of all is their pricing, it simply cannot be beat.
The only thing I would say could use some improvement is the selection. I still think it's top notch but since it's a smaller shop, there's room for improvement.
Rapid Liquors is always my first stop for quality craft beer.

This store has a good selection of craft beer, most of which is in the coolers. They have a small rack with unrefrigerated stuff. They cover their bases with a number of brands, but they are definitely lacking in a wide selection. As most liquors stores go in MA this place is a cut about the rest, but certainly not nearly as good as Redstone. Their prices make this place worth going to if they have what you are looking for.
If they made a push to expand their craft section and could maintain their low prices they could certainly give a lot of stores a run for their money.

This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
It was insanely small. There were 12 of us stuffed into triple bunk beds in a room probably 3x3 metres. No room to put your bag, lying right on top of everyone else, and it got very hot in the night too. Still, it was cheap, with a good location. I don't know if it's my first choice, though.

[White +] Cobalt
I've never been to Greece, but the palette of white + cobalt always brings to mind the iconic coastal architecture, with its crisp white exteriors and vibrant blue roofs. And while it fits right in with that balmy environment, it's such a classic combination that it would work at any time of the year.

What is this train wreck that we're using? I am confused and enraged.
Probably the best "fan" song I've ever heard
Down 6 to 10 with 1 minute before the end of the half, Colt McCoy ran the hurry up offense to a touchdown, letting the Longhorns go into halftime ahead, but only by 3 at 13 to 10. Texas rattled off 4 more TD's in the second half, to win 41-10, but Colt McCoy was in the game and throwing until the 4th quarter. That was Texas' second game of the season, and there was a lot of talk about Texas starting too slow... Evidenced by only generating 13 first half points in game two against the Cowboys.
As a follow up to my earlier pump-up post on Brown and Bergeron, I thought I'd go ahead and put some more material up. Next two spotlights are on Goodwin and Monroe. The two Texas speedsters have...

The article is on a playoff, but they make the point that Texas faces 6 10-win teams in conference next year. Oklahoma State (12-1) TCU (11-2) Kansas State (10-3) Baylor (10-3) West Virginia (10-3) Oklahoma (10-3) It hadn't really sunk in for me yet, but it looks like we've got one hell of a slate of football ahead of us... If we want 10 wins, we're going to need to be a very, very, good football team.
Connor Brewer tossing the ball around.
Humans put the Longhorns at 29 and the computers put us at 19. Notable two-loss teams ahead of us in the human polls: (#25) Arizona State - Losses to Illinois(#21) and Oregon(#8) (#23) Auburn - Losses to Clemson(#8) and Arkansas(#10) (#18) Texas A&M - Losses to Oklahoma State (#6) and Arkansas(#10) And our stats, for comparison: (#29) Texas - Losses to Oklahoma State (#6) and Oklahoma(#1) All the rankings above are coaches poll #'s.

Weather station to be built at Chatham's Eden Hall campusOctober 11, 2012 5:15 AM
Share with others:
Chatham University will hold a private groundbreaking ceremony today on the $40 million initial phase of its new Eden Hall Campus in Richland.
The campus is the future home of the School of Sustainability and the Environment.
The university recently received a $25,000 grant from the Dominion Foundation to establish a weather and microclimate monitoring station, said Molly Mehling, assistant professor.
"We will put in a weather monitor that will measure wind speed, rain gauge and other important weather factors," she said.
The university also will install soil sensors that measure various components of the soil, including water flow and drainage, Ms. Mehling said.
The information gathered through the weather monitor and soil sensor will assist the university as it builds and renovates buildings on campus.
As a sustainable campus, Chatham will design buildings that will incorporate high performance and integrated design, Ms. Mehling said.
The buildings will be monitored to determine energy consumption, allowing them to be laboratories for researching and testing best energy-saving measures in public buildings.
Ms. Mehling said the grant proposal was designed so that Chatham students would be able to have hands-on experience by following the findings and monitoring the results. The program will serve as a model program that other colleges and universities may replicate.
"We hope to have the monitors up and running within a month," Ms. Mehling said.
The initial stage of construction consists of the development of field labs, classrooms, a dining hall, a cafe, an amphitheater, a mosaic garden and infrastructure development to be complete by fall 2013.
Two residence halls supporting 150 beds are scheduled for completion in 2015.weather - education - neigh_north

The federal government's unflinching War on Tobacco will soon be fought on another front as the effects of cigarette use on a person's health will take a back seat to the effects on a young person's looks.
The Food and Drug Administration beginning Tuesday will spend $115 million on a campaign called "The Real Cost" that will attempt to demonstrate to teenagers that smoking tobacco not only will kill you in the long run, but leave you at home on prom night in the short run by making you all wrinkly and with yellow teeth.
Not cool.
The FDA, in this attack on what remains — for now at least — a legal product in this country, understands that 90 percent of adult smokers begin lighting up before age 18, so they will take to advertisements on TV stations such as MTV and in magazines such as Teen Vogue to target that audience.
According to the FDA, more than 700 children under the age of 18 begin smoking every day. The agency believes that the campaign can reduce the number of teenager smokers by an average of 100,000 during each of the next three years.
"Our kids are the replacement customers for the addicted adult smokers who die or quit each day," said Mitch Zeller, the director of the FDA's Center for Tobacco Products. "And that's why we think it's so important to reach out to them — not to lecture them, not to throw statistics at them — but to reach them in a way that will get them to rethink their relationship with tobacco use."
The percentage of people smoking began steadily declining in this country after the Surgeon General's warning first began appearing on packs of cigarettes in 1966, and the percentage of Americans who now smoke, about 18 percent, is the lowest in more than 60 years. But that percentage has remained relatively flat for a few years, so the emphasis is moving away from getting people to quit and toward keeping them from ever starting to smoke.
The proposed advertisements are provocative: According to the Associated Press, two of the TV ads show teens walking into a corner store to buy cigarettes. When the cashier tells them it's going to cost them more than they have, the teens proceed to tear off a piece of their skin and use pliers to pull out a tooth in order to pay for their cigarettes.
These ads representative just another nail in tobacco's coffin, a good thing for this country and its overall health, but a tough pill for this county, which was built on the back of tobacco — and continues to suffer from its demise.

SOUTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, Fla. (WSVN) -- Family and friends bid a final farewell to a former University of Miami football player.
The service for JoJo Nicolas took place at the Glendale Missionary Baptist Church in Southwest Miami-Dade, Saturday. Miami Hurricanes head coach Al Golden joined former teammates and family inside saying goodbye.
Abner Davis, Nicolas' older brother, acknowledged a silver lining on this very dark cloud. "We lost a brother, but we gained so many other family members," he said. "Our family just became extremely huge with the loss of our brother because of how many people he impacted."
JoJo died Feb. 26, one day after crashing his car into the back of an 18-wheeler on the MacArthur Causeway. He was leaving Miami Beach after an early morning birthday celebration.
Davis took the opportunity to highlight the outpouring of support his family has received. "My heart is broken, our heart is broken, but we continue to be proud and filled with joy from all of the love that we're receiving."

A friend and I stayed at the Hampton Inn in St. Joseph to explore the Michigan Wineries. It was a great pick! The hotel is extremely clean, welcoming and friendly. I specifically looked for accommodations where I could bring my small dog so as not to hassle with having to arrange for dog-sitting for a quick weekend getaway. The hotel is conveniently located with much to do in the area. Will go back.

Seagulls wait out the weather in Colonial Beach. Though the National Weather Service didn't have any data about how much snow fell in Westmoreland County, its unofficial reports show the Fredericksburg area had 15 inches and Warsaw had 10 inches. The Christmas Eve forecast calls for a wintry mix of precipitation and freezing rain is expected Christmas Day.

Lossing Ave. like all the other main roads on the Point in Colonial Beach is hard to navigate when two cars traveling in opposite directions meet.
Route 205 in Colonial Beach has been kept pretty clear since Friday evening, however the intersection of Rt. 205 and Colonial Ave has kept a good layer of slush which will most likely turn to ice as the sun sets. Caution should be used at this and all intersections around the beach.
The main streets on the point - Irving, Lossing, Bancroft, Marshall and Monroe Bay Ave. - have been plowed to one lane but remain with at least three inches of packed snow and slush mix which will most likely turn to ice this evening. Streets running across the point from east to west are not plowed. Use extreme caution traveling on the River side of Irving Ave. as conditions are very icy on that side. Avoid Irving and Monroe Bay Ave. whenever possible till the snow stops and these roads are clear.

Last year Peggy and David Miner were recipients of the Colonial Beach Eagles Christmas food baskets. Times were difficult then. But, fortunately, their situation changed for the better. This year, the Miners wanted to show how grateful they are.
Peggy called it their "giving back," and so they did. Last Friday the Miners' sons made a donation of $200 — $100 of that the boys earned through chores and good grades. Peggy and David matched it to come up with a generous donation for this year's Eagles food basket distribution. Their "giving back" effort compliments the Eagles' slogan of "people helping people."
Ladies Auxiliary President Teresa King (left) looks on as the boys, Dylan, 5; Dustin, 9; Daniel, 11; and Damon, 12, offer their donation. Back row: Aerie Secretary Tommy Edwards, Peggy and David Miner and Joel Garlaneau, president of the Colonial Beach Eagles.

Colonial Beach High School students gather outside the Post Office last Wednesday, loaded up with boxes to mail overseas. The students, headed by the Student Council Association and Tricia Runyan and Gail Tinsley (sponsors), began collecting Items to support our troops abroad. Through AdoptaPlatoon, the students were matched with a platoon deployed to Iraq from Ft. Lee, Va. There are 15 men and 10 women in the platoon. Collections concluded on Dec. 1, and the group was able to prepare 40 boxes of goodies, necessities, and entertainment to ship for the holidays. Shipping costs — $12 per box — have been covered by school board officials, administrators, faculty, staff and students. A special thank you goes out to the Colonial Beach Education Foundation, for contributing to the shipping of the packages.

In the early morning hours of Nov. 19 The Tri-County task force executed search warrants and rounded up nine people suspected of various crimes related to drug activity.
But the same day, around 6 p.m., Captain Bill Seay of the Colonial Beach Police Department was hosting a tour of the station for 10 Girl Scout Daisies.
Captain Seay explained to the group of 5 to 7 year olds that the police are not necessarily always going out here and locking up the bad guys, but that they are community oriented.
"We enjoy this opportunity to interact with you where you come in to learn more about the police department," Seay told the girls.
Drug roundup continues through weekend

What started as an early morning raid executing search warrants and rounding up suspected drug dealers on Thursday morning continued through the weekend.
Preston D. Gray, 26, of Colonial Beach was arrested last Saturday in Culpepper on charges related to drug trafficking.
His seizure was not as eventful as the early morning raid of Thursday, Nov. 19 at around 5 a.m., when the Tri-County Task Force comprised of the Virginia State Police, Colonial Beach Police, Westmoreland Sheriffs Department, King George Sheriffs Office, Caroline County Sheriffs Office and NCIS (Navel Criminal Investigative Services) along with the FBI made a significant step forward in ridding the community of drug activities.
Derrick Donnell Jones, Steven Bernard Dudley, Donald Wayne Turner, Marshal C. Wilson, Davon Gaston Himes and Bonnie Henry Smith of Colonial Beach were all arrested and charged with various crimes related to drug activity and trafficking. Arlene Malave of Hague and Aaron Early Holtzolclaw of King George were also arrested for drug charges. Candice Nicole Mills of Colonial Beach was arrested under charges related to child abuse and neglect for allowing drug dealing to occur in the presence of minors.
Child Protective Services and Animal Control were called in to assist with any issues concerning minors or animals that may come up. Rescue personnel were put on standby minutes before the round up, but were given the all-clear shortly after.
The bust took place in at least 12 different locations simultaneously and more than 40 personnel comprised of swat teams and officers converged on locations throughout Westmoreland County, including Colonial Beach, and one location in King George County.
How it all begins
Citizen complaints or tips from someone arrested put police on notice to possible drug activity. If a pattern is confirmed, then an investigation is started. Investigations like the one that lead up to this week's round up can take at least six months of preliminary work before a raid can be conducted.
"There are just so many aspects that go into investigating," Westmoreland County Sherriff C. O. Balderson said. "Officers from the task force are all over the place but 95 percent comes from individuals calling us, which we want because that's the heart and soul of our department. We don't have personnel on every corner to see the activity. Intelligence gathering from the community letting us know what they see starts the investigating."
Balderson added: "It takes a lot of foot work, man hours and a lot of intelligence gathering to make it go smoothly."
Colonial Beach Police Chief Christopher Hawkins said, "People will mistakenly think that because they see activity of people coming and going in patterns that we see it or that we should see it."
Hawkins explained that undercover officers can't be on every corner all the time, but once a citizen reports the activity then officers can be alerted to the situation and start watching and investigating.
Hawkins said it is frustrating not being able to keep the public informed when a member of the community calls with a complaint of possible drug activity, then three weeks later they call back and want to know why nothing has been done.
"It's great that they call back because a lot of times we get another piece of the puzzle, but at the same time we can't divulge information about the investigation," Hawkins said.
Sometimes the activity is under investigation and sometimes the people are already in custody, yet the police can't give out information until the "round up" is complete.
"In a lot of situations we can't tell a citizen that we're doing something about it, we have to wait and that's the hardest thing to do because we want to make that citizen happy right then because we know they are upset," Hawkins said.
Balderson explained that the task force has to have enough evidence to avoid making an arrest that would later result in no charges filed and put a dealer back out on the street.
"It wouldn't do us any good if we rushed into something, then we couldn't prove it in court or we have it thrown out," Balderson said. "We have been very fortunate that all previous arrests have resulted in either a guilty plea or conviction.

Reporter Bruce Leshan of Channel 9 news and cameraman Greg Guise, in the truck, were in town to cover the impacts of the late season storm.
As Hurricane Ida's remnants became a nor'easter intensifying off the coast of Virginia, the new moon added to a higher than normal high tide in Colonial Beach last night. Mayor Fred Rummage declared a state of emergency in Colonial Beach at the Town Council meeting yesterday evening.
Given the damage done in recent years, Colonial Beach was bound to make news.
A Chanel 9 News crew was on hand yesterday evening just after 6 p.m. for a live shot of the Potomac as it pounded the gazebo on the municipal pier. Reporter Bruce Leshan braved the wind and rain to show viewers how we compared to Ocean City, Md. Although our winds were roughly half the speed of Ocean City's, our 25 mph winds will surely bring a significant change in the boardwalk if they continue to intensify.
At high tide, just around 10:30 p.m. last night, boats on trailers in the parking lot of the Yacht Club Marina were submerged in water. Water was washing onto Monroe Bay Ave at Ball Street and on Irving Avenue just past the Wakefield Motel toward the Point, and waves were splashing over the parking lot of St. Johns Condominiums at 715 Washington Ave.
The storm is expected to hang around through Saturday.

The Marion County Sheriff's Office is investigating the death of a 4-year-old boy at a home in Donald.
On Sunday, officials identified the child as Cody R. Hall, who died at the scene from a single gunshot wound.
Deputies said they responded to the 1000 block of Main Street Northeast about 5:30 p.m. Saturday to a call of a gun being fired inside a home.
News of the tragedy spread quickly around the small town.
"Apparently, he used to sit on the porch with his grandpa and wave and smile, and people would wave back," said Shawna Gentert, who lives in Donald.
Investigators spent the evening interviewing the parents of the boy and trying to figure out what exactly happened.
"We're a small town, but we have a big heart, and I'm sure we'll be doing a lot of hand-holding and hugging for a while as we try to help this family through this," added Gentert.
The medical examiner and the district attorney were at the home this evening as investigators processed the scene.
The investigation remains active and the medical examiner will conduct an autopsy on the child on Monday morning.
Officials will not release the type of firearm involved.
Once the investigation is complete, Marion County detectives and the district attorney's office will review the case and determine whether a crime occurred and whether any charges will be filed.

Good book but confusing,
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: The Grail (Area 51 series) (Kindle Edition)
I'm not sure if this is a continuation of a series of books, but I found it a tad confusing here and there, because the author narrates it like I should already know some of the information in it (i.e. some of the characters, both heroes and foes). I did think this was the first of a series of books, but maybe it's not. Other than that, it's a good book that connects aliens, spirituality and mythology. Just the sort of book that I like.

Good, central hotelPosted Aug 31, 2014
Pros: Great staff, nice room
Cons: Room was a bit stuffy & air conditioning was a bit noisy.
We had a great stay, We couldn't have chosen a better location in terms of getting around San Francisco. We returned our rental car (around the corner from the hotel) 2 days early so that we wouldn't have to pay for parking which is very expensive. Hotel staff was friendly & very helpful. The Concierge was, always, able to help us. The room was a bit noisy (from outside) but, that's San Francisco.

Rap duo Calle 13 opens Latin Grammys in Las Vegas
LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Puerto Rican hip-hop duo Calle 13 opened the Latin Grammy Awards with an emotional rendition of their Hispanic anthem "Latinoamerica."
Frontman René Pérez Joglar dedicated the song to Hispanics everywhere during Latin music's biggest night Thursday in Las Vegas.
The socially charged rap group had already picked up four awards before the show's open and were nominated for six more.
The Latin Grammy Awards represent the diversity of Latin American music, with performers from Mexico, Brazil, Cuba, Argentina, Spain and other nations coming together to celebrate pop, rock, salsa, rap, country and other genres.
Crossover stars Shakira, Pitbull and Marc Anthony were among the dozens of international pop stars scheduled to take the stage, along with Mexican rocker Alejandra Guzman, R&B crooner Usher, and Taboo from the Black Eyed Peas.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
A socially charged hip-hop album that slams the Catholic Church and touts dancing like the poor has become the Cinderella story of the Latin Grammy Awards, placing Puerto Rican rap group Calle 13 in the spotlight and lending a political overtone to Latin music's biggest night.
Calle 13 picked up four awards during the 12th annual Latin Grammy Awards pre-telecast and was nominated for six more during the traditional show to be held Thursday night in Las Vegas. The group was also scheduled to perform a song from its anti-establishment album "Entren Los Que Quieran" during the three-hour ceremony airing on Univision.
"This brings oxygen to our career, now that they never play us on the radio," said René Pérez Joglar, who goes by the stage name Residente, after accepting an award Thursday.
The Latin Grammy Awards represent the diversity of Latin American music, with performers from Mexico, Brazil, Cuba, Venezuela, Uruguay, Argentina, Spain and other nations coming together to celebrate pop, rock, salsa, rap, country and other genres.
Look no further than the line-up of performers for a taste of the show's far reach. Crossover stars Shakira, Pitbull and Marc Anthony were among the dozens of international pop stars scheduled to take the stage, along with Mexican rocker Alejandra Guzman, former Disney princess Demi Lovato, Puerto Rican rappers Wisin and Yandel, R&B crooner Usher, and Taboo from the Black Eyed Peas. Award presenters include Erik Estrada, Kermit the Frog, Zoe Saldana and Sofia Vergara.
These are the names the drive ratings and record sales, but Calle 13 could easily determine the show's narrative.
The group won each award it was nominated for during the pre-telecast ceremony Thursday afternoon. "Calma Pueblo" took best alternative song, with its lyrics that call the Vatican the largest mafia in the world. The group also won producer of the year, best short-form music video and best tropical song for its ode to behaving badly, "Vamo' A Portarnos Mal." Calle 13's anthem for Latinos, "Latinoamerica," was also nominated for the night's top honors, record and song of the year.
Other multiple nominees included Shakira, who received three nominations, including best album for "Sale el Sol." Venezuelan singer Franco De Vita was up for five awards, including best album for "En Primera Fila," and Puerto Rican pop star Ricky Martin had three nominations.
Enrique Iglesias was also nominated for best album for "Euphoria." Pitbull, Don Omar, Los Tigres del Norte and Wisin and Yandel were among the acts that got two nominations each. Chilean actor Cristián de la Fuente and Mexican singer Lucero are scheduled to co-host the show.
Taboo, who performed with the Black Eyed Peas at the Latin Grammys in 2003, was slated to take the stage with Puerto Rican newcomer Sie7e Thursday night. Taboo, who is Mexican-American, said he wants to become more active in the Latin music world.
"It's only right that I give back to my community," he said.
While many performers tend to downplay the awards and herald the night as an opportunity to celebrate music, De Vita said he was there to win.
"That's what I most desire," he told The Associated Press on Wednesday.
De Vita got his wish, picking up the award for best long form music video for "En Primera Fila" during the pre-show.

In 25 years, the U.S. military will operate under the principle of "less is more."
Less manpower. More robots.
In 25 years, the U.S. military will operate under the principle of "less is more."
Less manpower. More robots.
Robots on the battlefield of the future will carry a heavier load, both literally and figuratively. They will operate with more freedom and begin to think for themselves. They will be armed and take on more tasks.
"I think you'll see many of the high-risk missions done by autonomous platforms," said Tim Trainer, vice president of product management for defense and security at iRobot.
IRobot is perhaps best known for its Roomba vacuum, but it has a growing arsenal of defense and security robots—everything from a five-pound robot that can be easily tossed and even dropped on its head, to a 500-pound robot that can lift close to its own weight. A trainer demonstrated some of the robots at the company headquarters in Bedford, Mass., and he sees a future where one person can control multiple machines operating on a single software system without having to constantly monitor them.
Read MoreThe man with the Pengagon checkbook
Future robot missions will most likely include perimeter security and firefighting, but in the short term, the Army is working on supplying driverless convoys.
"I think the technology that we have is better than the Google car," said Major Gen. William Hix, deputy director and chief of staff for the Army Capabilities Integration Center in Fort Eustis, Va.
Perhaps most intriguing—or frightening, depending on your point of view—the Pentagon is considering robots that fire weapons. The Defense Department held a "robot rodeo" last fall where military contractors presented robots firing guns.
"Think of a platoon of four tanks with two to four armed robots which would of course make that formation much more lethal," said Gen. Hix. He also sees armed robots eventually riding on troop carriers providing cover and a top-level view as soldiers dismount. "The robots are in position to provide over-watch and suppress the enemy...(soldiers) are not having to fight their way off the ramp," he said.
Read MoreThe Battle of 2014: A shrinking defense industry
The biggest challenge at the moment is robots need "constant supervision," said the general. "If you turn your back on them, they will often drive off in a ravine...or mistake a stream for a road."
One man to one machine is inefficient, and defense companies are working to improve that scenarior. "What we would like to do is make them much easier for the operators to operate," said Trainer.
For all the plans to arm robots, Gen. Hix does not expect an army of clones. "Armed robots will remain under the control of a soldier," he said. "There will always be a human in the loop."
What will robots look like in 25 years? Some robots being developed by Boston Dynamics, which Google bought last December, carry names like Big Dog and Wild Cat. They are eerie-looking machines that mimic animal movements. Boston Dynamics also created a robot for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) that moves like a horse.
But could robots ever look human? Tim Trainer said only if it helps the mission.
Read MoreRobot Reality: How Robots Will Change Our Lives
"Does the robot understand, and how would I know that it understands the commands that I've given to it?" he said. "Some facial type of expressions or emotional type expressions out of the robot are helpful for understanding and communication between the human and the machine. By the same token, you don't want something that the public is afraid of, and that will come with trust and reliability."
Gen. Hix envisions a bond between man and machine that evolves over the next 25 years.
"I would like to see the relationship between a soldier and a robot be much like a hunter and his bird dog, where there's a learning relationship between the two members of the team," he said. "The robot will respond to a soldier's hand and arm signals, and his behaviors, in the way hunting dogs do with their masters today, so the soldier is not controlling the robot. He is enabled and supported by the robot."

Convergence of Learning-, Knowledge- and Human Resource Management Systems: Requirements for Integrated Systems
AbstractMany companies and organizations introduce learning, knowledge and human resource management systems to improve their competitiveness and innovation potential. Often the corresponding information systems are insufficiently connected and integrated. A management of redundant data, manual work and media breaks follow. The core question arises: Which requirements for integrated systems are critical and most important? This question is answered based on literature, market analyses and expert interviews. Typical interfaces and the convergence of exemplary systems are analyzed and discussed.

The Future of Code
Paw Prints: Writings of the maddog
I went to watch a movie at our local "Art" movie theater the other day. The movie was called "The Future of Food" by Deborah Koons Garcia, which talked about the issues of generically modified food.
Without going into all of the issues surrounding altering genes in food, one part of the film was devoted to the fact that some farmers were being sued by companies who found genetically modified grain in the farmers' fields without the farmers having purchased the grain. The farmers claimed that the grain was carried there by the wind or birds, and that they had no way of keeping the modified grain out of their fields, nor even knowing that it was there. "No defense" was the reply of the seed companies, according to the film, since the genes were patented and the farmer was obviously including those seeds in their crop. Unfortunately it seemed as if a lot of courts were agreeing with the seed companies, not the farmers, and these issues were causing the farmers to destroy many of the seeds that they grew to renew their crops every year.
The film also discussed the issue of seed companies going to seed banks, "finding" unpatented genes in plants, and applying for patents on them. The companies would then sue farmers for using genetic material that the company had spent no time or money in developing.
I found this a bit disheartening. I remember that I learned in elementary school that pollen and seeds were spread by the wind and birds, and that this was a perfectly plausible explanation of why these genetically modified seeds were ending up in farmer's fields. I also thought about the similarity between software companies taking out frivolous patents on software concepts that had existed for a long time, but had simply not been previously patented.
I thought to myself, if these courts and the legislators can not understand about "the birds and the bees", then how can we get them to understand about the complex issues of computer software and patents?
I have eaten at many places that serve generically modified foodDenny's comes to mind. I read this posting because I was amused by the typo but I saw the same, or a similar, documentary the other day and was disgusted that the patent system is being abused in this way. We can only hope that the reason that eventually prevailed in the SCO case will percolate throughout the rest of the legal system. Unfortunately, I think IBM had a lot to do with the outcome of that case and if those who have the best lawyers win then the farmers won't stand a chance in this fight.

Creating the perfect email signature
Posted on 24 Nov 2011 at 16:34
Simon Jones reveals best practices for setting up your email signatures
Avoid the use of symbol fonts such as Wingdings to insert glyphs depicting telephone handsets or envelopes, since these may look fantastic in HTML mail, but may render as strange, nonsensical characters once converted to plain text.
Consider having at least two different signatures for each person: you might design a long one to be used when sending mail to a new contact, which includes all your details, and then a shorter one to be used in replies to emails, to save repeating the same information to someone who already knows it.
You'll want to keep a signature for quite some time before changing it, to avoid looking as though you can't make up your mind
You might also have an ultra-short signature for use on messages to people within the company. Microsoft offers help, training and sample signature layouts at the Office website.
Treat these samples as hints rather than gospel, and play with several possibilities before settling on one design. You'll want to keep a signature for quite some time before changing it, to avoid looking as though you can't make up your mind.
UK company regulations now state that you must include your company's name, registered office address, registration number and country in any email, just as in a regular business letter, so if your mail server is already set up to do this, then don't duplicate all the info in your signature.
If you feel tempted to include a lengthy disclaimer (either in your signature or automatically added by your email server), then my advice would again be don't – nobody reads it, and in any case it isn't legally enforceable, so it isn't worth the bandwidth it consumes.
Disclaimers merely suggest to recipients that you're trying to pre-empt incompetent failures such as sending a message to the wrong person, or failing to virus check it. Don't hide behind such legalese words: take a look at Out-Law.com for a good summary of what it might be worth putting into any disclaimer.
Signature software
If you have more than about ten people in your company, you might want to look into using a third-party tool to automate the production and distribution of signatures, to enforce consistency.
The software available varies in cost, features and quality. Some can pick up the data from your Active Directory, while others maintain their own database of users. Other third-party tools contain fully featured editors, while some have extra modules that add marketing campaign information to signatures during a range of dates, or only for people in certain company departments.
For an idea of what third-party tools are available, check out: Exclaimer, Fischer and Kerrn, OutlookEmail.com, Signature.com and Policy Patrol.
Depending on the number of people in your company, you could spend from a few tens to several thousand pounds on such automated signature management software, but if presenting your company in a more professional manner helps you get or retain more customers then it's probably worth it.

And you know, when you put on something like this, it kind of makes you want to smile." — Additional reporting by Christina Perez Source: Getty 6 / 6 1 8 7 0 0 Read More Cfda AwardsBeauty TrendsSummer BeautyCelebrity Beauty Celebrity Beauty Game of Thrones' Kit Harington and 17 Other Hot Guys Who Smell Amazing 3 hours ago Rita Ora Has a Bigger Wig Collection Than Beyoncé 3 hours ago You Should Try Jessica Alba's Tousled Tresses For Happy Hour Tonight 7 hours ago Nicki Minaj Makes a Triumphant Return to Pink Hair 7 hours ago Steal All of Taylor Swift's Lipstick Looks From Her New "Shake It Off" Video 1 day ago Get Sofia Vergara's Best Beauty Advice 1 day ago summer beauty The One Recipe You Need to Mend Split Ends and Dry, Flaky Skin 5 hours ago 8 Brilliant Updos to Keep Your Neck Sweat-Free in the Heat 1 day ago A Graphic Gold-and-Pink Manicure That Will Revive Your Summer Tan 1 day ago Nail This Beach-Waves Manicure Before Labor Day Weekend! 1 day ago 7 Products That Instantly Mattify Oily Summer Skin 2 days ago Sombré: The New Ombré Trend That Looks Gorgeous on Everyone 2 days ago Beauty Trends The Trendiest, Most Unexpected New Skin Care Ingredients Are . . . 1 day ago 28 Real Girls Prove Anyone Can Rock Rainbow-Bright Hair 3 days ago 13 Women Who Are Changing What It Means to Be "Beautiful" 4 days ago These Identical Twins' Braids Are The Cutest Thing You'll See Today 1 week ago Love It or Hate It: The Watermelon Pedicure 1 week ago And the New Festival Hairstyle of the Year Is . . . 2 weeks ago Get a Personalized Fashion & Beauty Newsletter!
