With one in five Japanese citizens now aged 65 or older, various robotics technologies are being developed to prolong independent living and improve quality of life at home. The main alternative to nursing homes and hospitals would be smart homes designed around the needs of the elderly. Earlier this week, Honda announced that it will test some of its life support robots in a mock household environment at the Future Life Showroom, in Sekisui House's brand new SUMUFUMU Lab. Read More
Teachable robot helps assemble IKEA furniture
Teaching a robot how to deal with real-world problems is a challenging task. There has been much progress in building robots that can precisely repeat individual tasks with a level of speed and accuracy impossible for human craftspeople. But there are many more tasks that could be done if robots could be supplied with even a limited amount of judgement. A robotics group led by Professor Sylvain Calinon at the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT) is making progress in solving this problem. Read More
Kids these days have it made. Case in point: Sakakibara-Kikai's latest creation, the Kidswalker NT, a miniature gasoline-powered exoskeleton that wouldn't look out of place in a Saturday morning cartoon. The original Kidswalker, unveiled in 2010, was designed to placate youngsters who demanded a ride in the company's much larger (and potentially more dangerous) Landwalker. As cool as it was, the Kidswalker has now been upgraded with additional features. Read More
We've seen robots optimized for stability before, but where, for example, Dr. Guero's modified Kondo KHR-3HV could withstand the odd gentle prod with a finger, the Italian Institute of Technology's COMAN is apparently made of sterner stuff, remaining vertical in the face of rather more determined jostling thanks to its sensor-equipped motorized joints.

Back in late 2009 Boston Dynamics revealed it was working on a humanoid robot that would test protective clothing for the military. Having already amazed the world three years earlier with the lifelike balancing capabilities of its quadruped BigDog, this would be the company's first bipedal robot. It was an ambitious project, but it appears the work has paid off. The robot's eerily realistic body movements are made all the more convincing now that its mechanical nature is hidden by a chemical protection suit. Read More
In the past, we've seen a variety of robotic arms that can do a variety of things, from chucking cinder blocks across a room to being controlled by thought. But behind the majority of these mechanical feats was a human guiding the robot's every move, step-by-step. That might be fine inside a laboratory, but what about somewhere a little less convenient, like a war zone, for instance? That's why DARPA (the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) has begun development on autonomous robotic arms that require only simple commands to performs complex tasks, like searching a bag or defusing explosive devices.

Dr. Guero's back with another robot balancing act
When it comes to the diminutive robot kits you find at hobby stores, most have what can only be described as a primitive sense of balance. If, however, you happen to be an expert roboticist like Dr. Guero (aka Masahiko Yamaguchi), then it's surprising how much can be squeezed out of these pet projects with the right programming. His latest trick is to have his robot balance on a pair of nail-like stilts, which you can see it do after the break. Read More
Scientists have often taken inspiration from the animal world in robotic designs, with bots modeled after fish, sandfish lizards, and even sea turtles. Such biomimicry makes sense – if you want a robot to move a certain way, why not look to creatures that already can? With the Salamandra robotica II, researchers have tried to replicate the movement of a salamander in designing a robot that can walk or crawl on land as easily as it swims in the water. Read More
Clawed micro-drone swoops up prey mid-flight
Here's something you don't see everyday: a Micro Unmanned Aerial vehicle (MAV) that can grab objects on the fly with all the elegance of an eagle snatching a fish from the water's surface. Although MAVs and UAVs are increasingly being equipped to pick up, transport, and drop off payloads, we've never seen this incredibly precise form of grasping on the fly replicated – until now.

Soft-bodied robot leaps 30 times its height
Most robots are built out of rigid materials, but a DARPA initiative to build soft-bodied robots that can squeeze into hard-to-reach places has led to the development of new types of the mechanical marvels. Harvard's Whitesides Research Group is working on a soft-bodied solution and has produced a squishy three-legged bot that can jump 30 times its height using the power of internal explosions.

2010 Approved Foods - Dry
WDJ's Selection Criteria for DRY Food
• We look for foods that contain a lot of high-quality animal proteins. Ingredients are listed by weight, so ideally a food will have one or two animal proteins in the first few ingredients.
Understand that whole meat (chicken, beef, lamb, etc.) contains a lot of water weight. If a food list starts out with chicken (rather than chicken meal), and there is no other animal protein listed until 7th or 8th on the list, the food does not actually contain a lot of animal protein. But if it starts out with chicken, and chicken meal (or another named animal meal, such as lamb meal) is number two or three on the list, chances are the product contains an admirable amount of animal protein.
• We reject any food containing meat by-products or poultry by-products.
• We reject foods containing fat or protein not identified by species. "Animal fat" is a euphemism for a low-quality, low-priced mix of fats of uncertain origin. "Meat meal" could be practically anything.
• We look for whole grains and vegetables. That said, some grains and vegetables have valuable constituents that accomplish specific tasks in a dog food formula. We don't get too excited about one vegetable fragment and one grain byproduct on the ingredients panel. Our tolerance diminishes in direct proportion to the number of fragments and by-products contained in a food and the prominence on a label; the more there are, and/or the higher they appear on the ingredients list, the lower-quality the food.
• We eliminate all foods with artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives listed on their ingredients panels.
• We eliminate all foods with added sweeteners. Dogs, like people, enjoy sweet foods. Like people, they can develop a taste for these nutritionally empty calories.
• We look for products containing organic ingredients. That's a no-brainer.
Dry Food REMOVED from Approved List
• Azmira Holistic Animal Care (Tucson, AZ) - Refused to discuss maker of food

Fox Point accepts NSFD funding formula, for now
The Fox Point Village Board tonight begrudgingly accepted its percentage of the North Shore Fire Department's budget as allotted in an amended NSFD funding formula which will be in effect for the next three years.
Trustees took action in July to add a three-year sunset clause to the formula so that Fox Point, as well as the other NSFD member communities, can renegotiate in 2015. The sunset clause was supported by the River Hills Village Board and was ultimately approved by the NSFD Board of Directors, though a decrease in Fox Point's percentage contribution - which trustees and Village President Michael West had expressed interest in - was not.
In the new funding formula Fox Point will contribute 10.31 percent of the NSFD budget annually, down from the 10.38 percent it had paid from 2008 through 2012. However, West and Fox Point trustees have taken issue with the new percentage, since it is more than the 9.31 percent Fox Point would be paying for the next three years, had the original NSFD funding formula in effect from 1995 through 2007 been used and the percentages not been frozen in 2008.
"If you think (the original) formula is fair, then these proposed numbers aren't really fair to Fox Point," said trustee F.R. Dengel.
West told trustees that using an NSFD subcommittee to come up with the altered formula hadn't worked in his estimation, and that he would campaign for negotiations between all the member communities and a new formula between now and 2015.» Read Full Article
Shorewood Intermediate School Principal Mark Harris dies after medical emergency
Shorewood — The Shorewood community is mourning the death of Shorewood Intermediate School Principal Mark Harris, who died after experiencing a medical emergency on Tuesday.
Harris was hospitalized after the medical emergency but was not able to recover, according to a statement from the family. Harris is survived by his wife Erin and their three children.
In a school district blog post, Superintendent Marty Lexmond said neighboring school districts have agreed to provide additional school counselors and psychologists for students, teachers and parents at the high school and intermediate school. Shorewood mental health professionals will also be on hand to help the school community cope with Harris' death.
The school will also be open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday for those who would like to gather.
Before coming to the intermediate school, Harris served as the associate principal of Shorewood High School for four years. He previously worked as an assistant principal at Gilmore Middle School, a social studies teacher at United Community Center Middle School and a pre-college counselor for Marquette University's Upward Bound program.» Read Full Article
Brown Deer sets terms to drop purchase plans for American TV site
The Village of Brown Deer will drop its offer to buy the former American TV & Appliance store if the property's owner submits a redevelopment plan by the end of November.
The provision to the village's purchase offer is designed to reassure prospective tenants of the redevelopment site that Brown Deer isn't planning to buy the property as long as a redevelopment effort is proceeding, said Nate Piotrowski, the village's community development director.
Village officials have been working with developer John Schlueter to find new uses for the vacant 80,000-square-foot building and its 10-acre lot at 6700 W. Brown Deer Road, Piotrowski said Wednesday.
Schlueter, who operates Front Line Commercial Real Estate LLC, said he has prospective tenants for the building, but declined to comment further because those pending leases aren't final.
Schlueter's $7.2 million bid to buy the former American TV stores in Pewaukee and Brown Deer, and 19 acres of vacant land in Oak Creek, was approved in April through a court-supervised receivership case.» Read Full Article

Preps football photos of the week: Week 9

Whitefish Bay boys soccer team holds on to beat Nicolet, 2-1
No style points, no extra points for flashy goals.
Just survive and advance.
That's what the top-seeded in WIAA State D2 Whitefish Bay boys soccer team did Thursday night, when it took a 2-0 lead and then had to hold off a spirited rally from area rival Nicolet in a 2-1 WIAA regional final decision at Lubar Stadium.
"It's just all about the winning the game," said Blue Duke coach Jeff Worzella, whose team had to play the final 37 or so minutes a man down due to a controversial red card to leading scorer Evan Conway.
"They (the Knights) were able to change the momentum (in the second half) and they did a good job of winning the 50/50 balls and denying us rebounds off of shots. They got a little life after our defensive breakdown and after that, we knew we just needed to possess the ball and win the game."» Read Full Article
Concern over booth site thrusts Jewish students into church-state debate
Jewish students from Nicolet High School gathered Sunday at a nearby home to build a sukkah, the temporary structure — a kind of booth — erected for the annual harvest festival of Sukkot.
The Ironwood Road site wasn't their first choice. They had hoped to return to Nicolet's courtyard, where they built it last year. But Nicolet had received complaints about the appropriateness of the religious symbol on public school grounds.
It wasn't a Christian group that objected. Or the litigious Freedom From Religion folks in Madison. In an unexpected twist on a familiar religious liberty narrative, it was fellow Jewish students who raised concerns, uneasy about what they saw as a breach of the separation of church and state.
"The prevailing view in the Jewish community is for a strong line between religion and government," said Elana Kahn-Oren, a Nicolet parent and executive director of the Milwaukee Jewish Federation's Jewish Community Relation's Council, who approached Nicolet Principal Greg Kabara on behalf of the group.
"We really value the separation of church and state. And we recognize that it protects us and all religious minorities," she said.» Read Full Article
Homestead football team ties for North Shore lead, beats GT, 35-30
Experienced, strong and prideful, the Homestead offensive line used its broad backs in a mighty way Friday night and kept the Highlanders hopes of at least a share of a 14th straight North Shore Conference football title alive in pacing the Highlanders to a 35-30 upset of previously unbeaten archrival Germantown.
The Highlander unit, which had lost one starter, Jack Warshauer to injury in the first half, brought Homestead back from a 21-8 first half deficit, and paved the way to four consecutive touchdown drives of 80, 80, 80, and 75 yards that the Warhawks were incapable of stopping.
"With about 9:30 minutes to go I turned to my offensive line coach (Matt Wolf) and said, 'Let's see if we can run the ball all the way down the field'," said head coach Dave Keel, "and we did."
The ensuing touchdown, a 3-yard run by fullback Matt Winters, expanded the Homestead lead to 35-24 with just a 1:27 left. Germantown got a 30-yard TD pass from Dwayne Lawhorn, Jr. to Connor Schulz but when Homestead's Nick Ziebell recovered the onside kick with 17 seconds to go, the game was over and the North Shore Conference had a new look, one that it hadn't had since 2002.
"We had one thought, that the game belongs to us (the O-line)," said lineman John Marita. "We were just following the scheme and listened to what the coaches told us was going to work. It's exciting when you see it all come out like that."» Read Full Article

Whitefish Bay boys v-ball teams beats Germantown, ties for NSC lead
Down 11-8 in the critical "race to 15" final set of his team's North Shore Conference dual meet with four-time league champion Germantown, Whitefish Bay boys volleyball coach Jake Conrad asked his Blue Dukes to reach down for some confidence.
"During the conversation we talked about the fact that they (the Warhawks) have been in this position before, they've been to state, they're a strong team," he said. "I told them that they (the Bay players) have to take some of that into their hearts and move it forward.
"It was time to walk the walk, not talk the talk. We had to find a way to create the kind of confidence that we've been looking for all season."
And the Blue Dukes found it, taking advantage of some critical Warhawk errors to pull out the final set, 15-13, to complete a 25-21, 25-19, 16-25, 22-25, 15-13 victory that pulled Bay into a tie for the North Shore Conference lead.
Germantown coach Brian Rushmer, whose team has eight players back from the 2013 team that made the WIAA state finals, was puzzled by how his Warhawks were unable to hold on at the end after making a strong rally from being down two sets to none.» Read Full Article
Driver critically injured in crash into Brown Deer garage
A 70-year-old man reportedly is in critical condition Wednesday after crashing his vehicle into a garage in Brown Deer.
The crash occurred in the 8100 block of N. Green Bay Road, North Shore Fire/Rescue said in a post on Facebook, adding that the driver was taken to Froedtert Hospital.
WTMJ-TV reports it occurred at about 10:30 a.m., when the car ended up on two cars inside the garage, and the driver was not associated with the owner of the vehicles in the garage.
Shorewood CDA changes approach with Wilson townhomes
Shorewood — After hearing concerns from residents, Shorewood officials are now pulling back on two controversial elements of its central district master plan.
But public criticism wasn't the only reason why the village's Community Development Authority decided not to recommend Wilson Drive townhomes and a Shorewood High School campus commons area as development opportunities in its overall master plan. The two plans may still reappear in future plans.
Village Manager Chris Swartz recommended the CDA remove the idea of an outdoor high school commons area with underground parking, because the school district, which initially approached the village with the plan, has decided to consider the matter separately — possibly in an upcoming long-term facilities plan.
Specifically, the idea was to turn the Shorewood High School parking lot into a green commons area with two levels of underground parking, offering 160 underground parking spaces. Just east of the parking structure, along Oakland Avenue, was a proposed two-story, 16,000-square-foot commercial building with first-floor retail space and second-floor office space.
The CDA is recommending the Plan Commission not include that concept in the master plan, but the Plan Commission could still override that recommendation. The plan will first be presented to the Plan Commission and Village Board at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 28 at Village Center.» Read Full Article
Mequon-Thiensville floats $20 million referendum proposal
Mequon — The Mequon-Thiensville School District is seeking community input on a $20 million referendum that would fund building maintenance costs, high school athletic facilities, a high school auditorium and collaborative classroom environments.
At a meeting on Monday night, Oct. 6, Superintendent Demond Means unveiled a potential four-part referendum that addresses the needs identified in the district's long-range facilities plan earlier this year. Means said the district is planning a public outreach effort to determine the magnitude of the project and the community's willingness to contribute.
"We want to engage the public and determine what they think about what should be included and should not be included in this project," Means said.
The referendum would include $11 million for capital improvements, such as roofs and boilers. The referendum would also allocate $1.3 million toward Homestead athletic facilities, $2.1 million toward Homestead's performing arts center and $5.3 million toward the creation of collaborative learning environments at the elementary, middle school and high school level.
The district will soon mail out surveys to residents to gauge the support for a possible referendum. The district will also hold open house events, which will invite community members into the schools to learn more about the district's aging facilities. The board is scheduled to decide on Dec. 15 whether the district should place a referendum question on the ballot next year.» Read Full Article

1. Book: An Atlas of Love; Author: Multiple writers; Publisher: Rupa; Pages: 188; Price: Rs. 195
This anthology of romantic stories explores the many guises of romance from its purest form to its darkest depths. "Phoenix Mills" takes you through a young man's anguished quest for love; "Post-Coital Cigarette" makes you flinch at a married man's interpretation of love; and "Jilted" shows you that love can also be dangerous.
This selection is a heart-warming collection of stories that will urge you to believe that love is eternal and forever.
2. Book: Let It Snow; Writer: Multiple writers; Publisher: Penguin; Pages: 354; Rs. 350
It's Christmas eve and Gracetown has been buried under snow. But the weather is more than just an inconvenience. When one girl unexpectedly steps off a stranded train, she sets off a series of life-changing events.
Soon, 14 pumped-up cheerleaders will descend on the local Waffle House, the Duke's DVD night will be rudely interrupted for a twister mission and a lovesick barista will determine the fate of a single teacup.
As the three stories collide, strangers cross paths and romance blossoms with heart-warming consequences.
3. Book: Lovers Like You and I; Author: Minakshi Thakur; Publisher: Harper Collins; Pages: 210; Price: Rs. 275
Set in Delhi in the 1990s, this novel explores the experience of love and its many faces through the life of young Nayan. As she makes the journey from girl to woman, Nayan meets men and women from different backgrounds, generations and places - film-makers, doctors, scribes, students and painters - who have experienced love in their lives, felt it differently, expressed it variously and either won it or lost it in the end. At the heart of the story lies her own unsettling relationship with Salil, a drifter who flits between poetry and backpacking.
This is an unusual novel that evokes a lost era - a time when people wrote letters and cherished the ones they received. With its effortless bilingualism and its seamless use of prose and verse, it challenges our notions of conventional storytelling to take us into a world where emotion rules and where time and leisure take on new dimensions.
4.Book: Advantage Love; Author: Madhuri Banerjee; Publisher: Rupa; Pages: 192; Price: Rs.195
When Trisha Mathur leaves Lucknow for Delhi with stars in her eyes, little does she realise how drastically her life is about to transform.
In the din and drama of college student politics, she meets debonair politician-in-the-making Vedant Kirloskar, who sweeps her off her feet with his poetry and rakish charm. When irreconcilable differences drive them apart, a broken-heated Trisha becomes wary of love and men. That is until the dashing tennis star, Abhimanyu, comes along and fills her life with love and laughter. All at once she finds herself in the midst of the glamorous tennis circuit which is in stark contrast to her small-town moorings.
Even as Trisha embarks on a path of love and self-discovery, fate brings Vedant back into her life, asking that they rekindle their old romance. Will Trisha dare take a second chance with Vedant or move on to play match point with Abhimanyu?
A compelling and passionate contemporary take on Indian romance that explores the complexities of love, friendship and career in a woman's life.

Record Intake of Doctoral Researchers at LEC in 2009
A record number of 33 full-time and part-time doctoral researchers started at the Lancaster Environment Centre (LEC) in October 2009, a more than 20 per cent increase from the previous two years.
"This is a great achievement for all at LEC", says Professor Kevin Jones, Associate Director of Research at LEC, who continues that "Lancaster's ambition is to increase the number of postgraduate researchers to 10 per cent of the overall student population by 2015. With this year's intake we have made a significant step toward the 25 per cent increase in doctoral researchers that was recently announced in the University strategic Plan for 2009-15. As part of this commitment to increasing doctoral research, LEC successfully bid for four University studentships and a Faculty studentship".
This year's intake are funded from a range of sources including more traditional sources of funding from UK Research Councils (such as the Natural Environment Research Council or NERC), and government departments such as DEFRA.
Research is also funded by the British Commonwealth and overseas government scholarships with nearly a quarter of doctoral researchers coming from outside of the EU.
A central feature of doctoral research at LEC is the focus on inter-disciplinary training and development. Dr Kirk Semple, Associate Director of Postgraduate Study, explains that "supervisors are often from different disciplinary backgrounds - whether that is biological, environmental, geographical or social aspects of environmental science.
Inter-disciplinary supervisory practices help ensure that doctoral researchers are well placed to respond to the complex issues of our time. Here at LEC we have a large and vibrant doctoral community with very good completion rates".
LEC supports a wide range of doctoral research topics through the five research themes and five research centres. This year's doctoral researchers will be focusing on the impact of soil compaction on soil functioning, environmental change and crop production, developing a cloud proof vegetation characterisation from remote sensing products and participatory science and urban heat phenomenon, to name a few.

ALTON—With a new fire station on the way and a new franchise, the City of Alton is living up to its slogan, by becoming a "City on the Grow." Assistant City Manager Steve Peña said construction plans have come in for the construction of a McDonald's fast food restaurant.
"Construction plans have come in; they have passed the City of Alton Planning Department processing stage," Peña said, although they have not yet secured a building permit.
Peña explained they are currently waiting for the franchise to tie up loose ends on their portion of the planning process. He added the location would be on Alton Blvd.
Alton just recently saw their first franchise business open in 2013 with the opening of the Golden Chick on Adams Street and Alton Blvd. Two months later, a Subway restaurant opened in the city off of 5 Mile Line.
Many local businesses have also found their way to Alton, including El Pedregal, a nice Mexican food restaurant located in the same shopping plaza as the Subway on 5 Mile Line at the Alton City Centre. New owners bought the property, changed its look and opened the restaurant in early April.
The new Junior's Supermarket property has already poured cement foundations and installed plumbing. Peña said that over the next week the public would be able to see walls going up.
The new businesses, local and franchise, are creating more jobs, which Peña believes is helping the city grow at a steady rate. He added there is much growth in the area, not only in Alton but in neighboring cities as well.
"It is very exciting with all of the development in the area, like in Palmhurst, with the new H-E-B," Peña said. "People are passing by and there is a lot of activity. It has spurred a multitude of multi-family housing construction…housing has boomed."
In 2010, the population for Alton stood at 12,315. Peña estimates a current population of 15,000 due to growth in housing and new businesses. He adds mom and pop stores open regularly in the area, which also leads to the owners and employees moving to Alton.
"There are new businesses, then you wonder 'are they living here or just bringing their business?'" Peña said. "After looking at two to three bedroom complexes and persons per unit, after you multiply…the city is definitely getting bigger."
Population is also growing closer to the inner city, said Peña. He adds the people who reside in Alton like shorter commutes and would rather walk to their destinations. The city's five to ten year plans include more sidewalks in the inner city as well as a hiking and biking trail.
Not only is Alton seeing new businesses, but also expansion of city facilities. Last month, Alton broke ground on a new fire station on the property south of Alton City Hall. On May 2, Congressman Henry Cuellar visited the grounds for a presentation of $1 million that was secured for the fire station under a USDA program.
In 2010, USDA, through the Rural Development Community Facilities awarded the $1 million funding. Half of the funds is a grant, while the other half is through a loan. Peña said it has taken a few years for the loan portion to go through its process but has been approved.
The City of Alton will contribute $150,000 to the project as well; the fire station project is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2013.blog comments powered by Disqus

AMA Women & Motorcycling Conference | Day 12
Day 12 – Beach or Bust
We pulled off our plan to get up at 5:00, finish writing journals, and hit the road by 7:00. The perfect plan, yes. But one that landed us back in the LA basin perfectly at evening rush hour. Urgh. However, I suppose riding through 100 miles of parking lot in 90+ temperatures makes the allure of home all that more appealing while reducing the inevitable end-of-the-journey malaise.
AMA Women & Motorcycling Conference | Day 11
Day 11- Romance in Another Sense
Moab in the morning. Ahhh… Sunrise on the saturated red landscape was reflected against the mile-high sky turning the bottoms of billowing white clouds a pronounced pink. Riding under a clear azure sky through this stunning, very romantic scene, I wondered is this the Tuono honeymoon, or have I been overwhelmed with the magic of the Utah desert? When we reach the twisty roads and wind our way through immense red rock walls I think, this is why some consider motorcycling a religious experience.
AMA Women & Motorcycling Conference | Day 10
Day 10 – Love is in the Air
Did I mention I was in love with an inanimate object? OK, so the Tuono is more like a seductive Italian inamorato than a motorcycle, but I certainly can't compare it to what, an espresso machine? No way. I am so hooked on this bike I don't want this trip to end. I can't stand the thought of it being parked alone in the garage again, even just for a night.
AMA Women & Motorcycling Conference | Day 9
Day 9 – Another Night in Colorado
This morning we all felt melancholy as we said our goodbyes and packed up our stuff once again. Guzzi Alice and I had planned to ride to Aspen for lunch and then see how far we could get before supper. Instead, we realized we had way too much writing to do (we are both covering the event) and spending the day playing in the mountains would not help us accomplish that.
AMA Women & Motorcycling Conference | Day 8
Day 8 – Conference Conclusion
Impossible. Really? It can't already be the last day of the conference! Where did the week go? I haven't attended all of seminars or seen some of my friends or met enough new ones. I'm not ready to leave this alpine paradise full of inspirational biker ladies and fantastic riding.
AMA Women & Motorcycling Conference | Day 7
Day 7 – Seminars, Demos, Shopping
Today was another day so chock full of activities I didn't get a chance to ride. Not to worry, the Tuono still got some attention in the form of mini photo shoot outside the condo. Conference goers attended more seminars such as "Accident Scene Management," "Preparing for the Ride," "Motorcycle Mentoring," and more, as others shopped til they dropped in the marketplace.
AMA Women & Motorcycling Conference | Day 6
Day 6 – Seminars and Two-Step
This morning started out with early morning seminars and programs. Attendees got to choose from 13 different seminars presented by women including topics such as: "Making Your Bike Fit You;" "Dual Sport Riding:" "Dealership Interaction;" "Street Strategies" and more.
AMA Women & Motorcycling Conference | Day 5
Day 5 – Riding to New Heights
I'm still suffering adverse physical effects of the altitude, but managed to rouse myself early for a morning motorcycle jaunt up U.S. Route 6 to the top of Loveland Pass. This twisty mountain road reaches 11,990 feet in elevation, peaking at the continental divide.
AMA Women & Motorcycling Conference | Day 4
Day 4 – PMS (Parked Motorcycle Syndrome)
This morning, coffee in hand, I took in the serene alpine scene. I looked out over the snow capped peaks in the distance and the dew covered motorcycles parked below my balcony. Ahhh, is there anything so refreshing as early morning in the mountains, especially at a motorcycle conference? And did I mention the rustic condo comes with a year round Christmas tree? We decorated it moto-style of course.
AMA Women & Motorcycling Conference | Day 3
Day 3 – Altitude Schmaltitude
Alice and I put our motorcycle rubber to road early today and were treated to the spectacular lunar surface effect created by the sun's horizontal morning rays cast across dry lakebed formations. This last glimpse of Utah's splendor from the motorcycles didn't last long as we quickly transitioned into Western Colorado's picturesque mountain wilderness. First stop landed us at the entrance to the state's National Monument, one of the grand landscapes of the American West where I was subsequently attacked by a dinosaur…

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Rick Porcello retired 20 consecutive batters, and Victor Martinez hit a grand slam as the Detroit Tigers defeated the Tampa Bay Rays 6-0 on Wednesday night.
Leading 1-0, the Tigers put the game out of reach with a two-out rally in the seventh inning. After retiring the first two batters, Rays starter Jake Odorizzi gave up a double to Rajai Davis and a single to Ian Kinsler that scored Davis.
The Tigers loaded the bases against reliever Kirby Yates on a single by Torii Hunter and a walk to Miguel Cabrera to set the table for Martinez, who sent a 1-2 offering into the right field stands to increase the lead to 6-0.
Porcello (14-8) tossed a three-hitter, finishing the complete game in 104 pitches and striking out four.
Blue Jays 9, Brewers 5
MILWAUKEE -- Jose Bautista and Colby Rasmus hit home runs as Toronto ended Milwaukee's five-game winning streak.
R.A. Dickey (10-12) gave up eight hits and hit two batters, but Toronto hitters broke out of a weeklong slump, collecting 14 hits against six Milwaukee pitchers and driving in seven runs with two outs.
Bautista gave Toronto some breathing room with his 24th home run of the season, a three-run shot in the sixth inning off Brewers right-hander Brandon Kintzler, who hadn't allowed a home run in his last 13 outings. That put the Blue Jays ahead 7-3.
Rangers 5, Marlins 4
MIAMI -- Texas rookie right-hander Nick Martinez, pitching in his hometown for the first time in his major league career, defeated Miami.
Miami, which trailed 5-2 entering the ninth, hit two solo homers in the inning -- by Marcell Ozuna and pinch hitter Jarrod Saltalamacchia off of Rangers closer Neftali Feliz. But Feliz got the final two outs to earn his fifth save of the season.
Martinez, 24, shut down the Marlins early, holding them to six hits and two runs in six innings, striking out a career-high seven to improve his record to 3-9.
Phillies 4, Mariners 3
PHILADELPHIA -- Philadelphia scored three unearned runs in the bottom of the fourth inning to erase a 3-1 deficit and eventually win just its fourth series since June 19.
Jimmy Rollins went 2-for-5 with two runs scored, one of which was the go-ahead run on Chase Utley's RBI single.
The Phillies' bullpen pitched four scoreless innings to seal the win with nine of the final 12 outs coming via strikeout. Jake Diekman went two innings and struck out four, while Ken Giles punched out two in the eighth and closer Jonathan Papelbon saved his 30th game with two strikeouts.
Mets 8, A's 5
OAKLAND, Calif. -- Zack Wheeler ran his string of consecutive starts without a loss to 10, and Lucas Duda capped a five-run third inning with a three-run homer to lift New York.
A pitchers' duel between Wheeler and Jeff Samardzija never materialized, although Wheeler was able to make it two outs into the sixth inning before leaving with an 8-4 lead. Wheeler, who hasn't lost since facing the A's on June 25, pitched with a lead after Eric Campbell belted his third homer of the season in the third inning.
Josh Edgin, Vic Black and Jeurys Familia finished for the Mets, who managed a 2-2 season split with the A's. Familia, who worked the final 1 2/3 innings, posted his fourth save.
Pirates 3, Braves 2
PITTSBURGH -- Gaby Sanchez capped a late-inning comeback with a sacrifice fly that scored the game-winning run in the ninth as Pittsburgh ended a seven-game losing streak.
Atlanta left-hander Alex Wood pitched into the eighth but could not record an out as he walked Sanchez and allowed a double by Travis Snider to lead off the inning. Reliever Jordan Walden allowed an RBI groundout to Chris Stewart and threw a wild pitch that scored Snider from third.
In the bottom of the ninth, Jordy Mercer singled to lead off before Braves left fielder Justin Upton dropped a fly ball with one out that put men on second and third with one out. Sanchez followed with the walk-off sacrifice fly.
Nationals 3, Diamondbacks 2
WASHINGTON -- Pinch hitter Anthony Rendon hit an RBI single with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning to give Washington its ninth win in a row and fourth walk-off in the past five games.
The hit off reliever Evan Marshall drove in Bryce Harper, who led off the ninth with a single for his third hit of the game and took third on a one-out single by Kevin Frandsen. The Nationals are one win shy of tying the franchise record for consecutive victories, set in 2005.
Washington starter Tanner Roark threw seven shutout innings, but Ender Inciarte broke up the shutout when he hit a two-run homer in the eighth inning against reliever Tyler Clippard to tie the score at 2.
Astros 5, Yankees 2
NEW YORK -- Robbie Grossman hit a two-run single with one out in the top of the seventh inning to help Houston rally to beat New York for the fourth time in five games this season.
The Astros turned a 2-1 deficit into a three-run lead. The seventh-inning rally began when Jason Castro ended New York right-hander Michael Pineda's night with a walk. After David Huff (2-1) struck out Jon Singleton, the Astros had five straight singles against Huff and Esmil Rogers in a span of 10 pitches.
Houston loaded the bases on singles by Marwan Gonzalez and Matt Dominguez. The Astros tied it on a base hit by Jake Marisnick. On the next two pitches, Grossman and Jose Altuve singled up the middle.
Angels 8, Red Sox 3
BOSTON -- Los Angeles lost 13-game winner Garrett Richards to what appeared to be a serious left knee injury in the second inning but rallied for a victory over Boston.
The Angels wiped out a 3-0 deficit and scored five runs in the fifth inning while their bullpen was shutting down the Red Sox. But this win, the fifth in six games on their road trip, appeared to be costly to the Angels, who have already lost left-hander Tyler Skaggs for the season with Tommy John surgery.
Richards was taken off the field on a stretcher, and the initial report was that he had suffered a left patellar (kneecap) injury.
Rockies 5, Royals 2
DENVER -- Matt McBride, in his first start this season, hit a grand slam in the sixth that gave Colorado the win over Kansas City, which lost for just the seventh time in 29 games.
McBride's first career grand slam and third career homer came against left-hander Danny Duffy. McBride, who suffered a broken foot in mid-April, rejoined the Rockies on Tuesday.
Colorado's Jorge De La Rosa pitched a season-high eight innings and improved his record at Coors Field to 9-2 this season and 44-14 in his career. De La Rosa (13-8) induced four double-play ground balls, which tied a single-game franchise record.
Giants 8, Cubs 3
CHICAGO -- Jake Peavy pitched seven solid innings, and Travis Ishikawa went 3-for-5 with three RBIs as San Francisco beat Chicago.
Peavy (2-3) allowed two runs and seven hits, struck out eight and threw 111 pitches for his second straight victory.
The Giants never trailed after scoring four runs in the first inning against Cubs starter Edwin Jackson (6-14). The Giants' Joe Panik, back in the lineup after suffering a dislocated pinky finger Sunday, also went 3-for-5 with an RBI.
Orioles 4, White Sox 3
CHICAGO -- Baltimore used three home runs and another solid outing from its starting pitcher to complete a three-game sweep of Chicago.
Steve Pearce, Nelson Cruz and Adam Jones hit the homers to give starter Wei-Yin Chen just enough run support. Chen kept the White Sox off-balance after falling behind 2-0 quickly in the first on a two-run homer by Avisail Garcia.
Chen settled into a quick pace and threw just 86 pitches before exiting after 7 1/3 innings with a 4-3 lead and two runners on base. Darren O'Day struck out Jose Abreu and Garcia to end the threat.
Cardinals 7, Reds 3
ST. LOUIS -- Lance Lynn allowed four hits in seven shutout innings, and St. Louis knocked around Cincinnati ace Johnny Cueto in a rain-delayed win.
Lynn (14-8) walked two and fanned five before leaving following a 58-minute delay after the seventh inning. It was his third win this year against the Reds. Cueto (15-7), who entered the night trailing only the Los Angeles Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw for the National League's ERA lead, was knocked out before recording an out in the sixth.
Jon Jay led St. Louis' 10-hit attack with three singles, giving him 18 hits in his last 35 at-bats, and he was hit by a pitch for the seventh time in eight games.
Indians 5, Twins 0
MINNEAPOLIS -- Cleveland got five-plus scoreless innings from left-hander T.J. House, who worked out of small jams in the first and second inning before getting a lead.
After allowing five runs to the Twins in the first inning Tuesday, Indians pitchers have kept the Twins off the scoreboard for 17 consecutive innings heading into the final game of the series Thursday afternoon.
The Indians had a 3-0 lead when the bullpen took over with one out in the sixth. Four pitchers combined to throw 3 2/3 innings of relief, allowing only two base-runners.

Can Lake Worth fix its code enforcement department?
- 2:24 pm Friday, July 5th, 2013 by Opinion Staff
Everyone who lives in Lake Worth knows that lax code enforcement is a problem there, and a recent report on Lake Worth's code enforcement department may help to explain why.
The report by the city's internal auditor chided code enforcement workers for not showing up for work and for falsifying reports. It concluded that most code enforcement fines are never paid and that the department does nothing to attempt to collect them.
The report also lambasted the city's policy prohibiting anonymous code enforcement complaints. This, the auditor concluded, could discourage people from reporting dangerous conditions, out of fear that their identities might [More]

Where the word "FUCK" came from?
Gather around fellow readers, it all began…
Long ago in England, couples could not have sex to make babies without a written permission from the King (Unless he/she was a member of the royal family). So if someone wanted to have babies, they had to go to the King to ask for a written permission. The King then gave them a sign that had to be hung on the bedroom door when the couple had sex. The card read "F.U.C.K." (Fornification Under Consent of the King).

How are schools setting targets for teachers' appraisal in 2013/14? One of The Key's associate education experts suggests linking performance objectives to the Teachers' Standards. We also look at whether objectives should be linked to performance-related pay and at how many objectives might be set.


text: Moscow Postcard April 4, 2005 Issue A Night at the Opera By Masha Lipman Table of Contents Last week, the political talk in Moscow was mainly about yet another popular revolution, in yet another corner of the old Soviet imperium. First Georgia, then Ukraine, and now the Central Asian republic of Kyrgyzstan, where the fallen autocrat abandoned his palace just ahead of the demonstrators seizing his rooms. What could Vladimir Putin be thinking, people asked, as he read his intelligence reports? The cultural challenge to authority in Russia these days, however, bears no resemblance to what Putin and the older generations recall from the long-ago days of dissidents and general secretaries. The rumblings are of a distinctly postmodern sort. On Wednesday, at the still stately Bolshoi Theatre, a group of young pro-Putin demonstrators called Moving Together rallied in the snow and the slush to protest the première of an opera called "Rosenthal's Children" and, in particular, its notorious librettist, the novelist Vladimir Sorokin. In 2002, the government, prompted by Moving Together activists, initiated a criminal case against Sorokin under Article 242 of the Russian criminal code: "illegal distribution of pornographic materials and objects" was the charge. The main object of the government's prim outrage was a 1999 novel called "Blue Lard," a phantasmagorical futurist thriller that mocks the Russian Orthodox Church, imagines a New Russian lingo filled with Chinese terminology, and features the spectacle of the clone of Nikita Khrushchev sodomizing the clone of Joseph Stalin—rebellious, but less in the mode of Solzhenitsyn than of Arthur C. Clarke meets the Marquis de Sade. Sorokin, who is nearing fifty, is an indefatigable explorer of the verbal and the carnal. He writes in the key of disgust. In an earlier novel, "The Norm," he depicted the humiliations of Soviet life with a metaphor that's one part Pasolini and one part "Pink Flamingos": sooner or later, all of his characters are forced to eat "the norm," a ration of what is unmistakably human feces. In early street protests against Sorokin, Moving Together activists constructed an enormous cardboard toilet and encouraged people to throw excerpts of his work into it. With such a history behind him, Sorokin's new opera, with music by Leonid Desyatnikov, was not likely to be another "Così Fan Tutte." Outside the Bolshoi, just before the seven o'clock curtain, the demonstrators chanted against "Sorokin, the feces- eater" and handed out leaflets entitled "The Artistic Credo of a Pornographer and Feces-Eater." Across the square, a rival group, called the Avant-Garde of Red Youth, carried homemade signs that read "Death to Putin's Lackeys." It has never been clear who or what is behind the Moving Together campaign against Sorokin, but the over-all mood of cultural conservatism, a kind of Sovietism Lite, is a familiar theme in Putin's own rhetoric. Peering at the protesters, the ticket holders for the première poured through the doors of the Bolshoi. They were the Moscow beau monde--socialites draped in Milan's finest, artists, businesspeople, music lovers eager for something new. The theatre was sold out. "Rosenthal's Children," as it turned out, was musically unadventurous, but for the Bolshoi—which, until recently, has been a distinctly conservative house—it was a radical departure. The opera tells the story of a German scientist named Rosenthal who invents cloning. The Nazis reject him, and he emigrates to the Soviet Union, where the leadership instructs him to "double the masses," although what he really wants to do is double the world's geniuses. Secretly, Rosenthal clones new versions of Tchaikovsky, Mussorgsky, Verdi, Wagner, and Mozart. (The music, meanwhile, takes themes from all five.) Cut to the early nineteen-nineties: Boris Yeltsin announces that the state can no longer support the five musical clones, and they are forced to beg on the Moscow streets, where they struggle alongside prostitutes, mobsters, and the homeless. "Daddy, buy me a scooter," Wagner sings as he drops dead. Whatever. Only Mozart survives. In his closing aria, he is filled with anguish and loneliness. As the show ended, one man loudly chanted, "Nonsense! Nonsense!," but he was drowned out by applause and repeated curtain calls. Two days later, one critic, in the liberal daily Kommersant, wrote that "Rosenthal's Children" was Sorokin's "least offensive" work. In the distant past, Sorokin might have suffered imprisonment, or worse; now the protests of Kremlin supporters seem to have made him more popular. But the cultural conservatives in Moscow will not be deterred: a group of Russian Orthodox activists have been picketing a new ballet called "Rasputin." They are offended by the idea of a dancing tsar, of Nicholas II in ballet tights. The Tsar's family, after all, has just been canonized.

Taking place in 1969 Japan, Brigadoon tells the story of Marin Asagi: an ambitious, innocent, orphaned 13-year-old girl. Not the most ordinary school girl, but she has an adoptive family of colorful characters who care deeply about her and a school friend named Moe Kisaragi. Everything changes one day when an unknown alien world appears in the sky sending out killer robots (called Monomakia) that target her. Luckily, she finds an alien creature named Melan who seems to be protecting her from the assassins. The series focuses on uncovering the mysteries of the alien world, as well as detailing the growing relationship between Marin and her protector.Cute art, comedic moments, and satiric characters notwithstanding; this series takes itself very seriously. Almost immediately, the action is tense and bloody and humans die.Not to be confused with Brigadoon, the musical starring Gene Kelly.Has a Character Page.

Jeremy Lipking - Skylar in Blue
In a remarkably short period of time, Jeremy Lipking (born 1975) has emerged as one of the America's premier realist artists. His talent, which rivals that of the late nineteenth century painterly realists such as John Singer Sargent, Joaquin Sorolla and Anders Zorn, is outstanding for a painter of any age. Like these great painters of the past, Lipking is a virtuoso artist. His canvases convey the magical aura of convincing imagery emerging out of a field of paint.

Sergio: "People, we're going to sing a song that we heard a lot today at the stadium in Lisboa. But now we're going to sing it, because we have two balls like god commands.
Chant: "Players players, we won the final, may all the Atleti fans learn who rules the capital. Players players, we won the final, may all the Atleti fans learn who rules the capital."
Sergio: IKER CASILLAS.
Iker: Well, first of all I would like thank you all for being here at this late hour, waiting for us to return from Lisboa.Thank you to all the fans who went to Lisboa and the fans who supported us at the Bernabeu and the fans who are here. You are all very great. I am convinced that Sergio's goal was scored by all of you as well."

Two 17-year-old high school students, a male and a female, died in a car crash around 3:15 pm on Thanksgiving afternoon, October 13, 2014, when the bright red car in which they were traveling to a Thanksgiving dinner crashed into oncoming traffic on Highway 10 between Highway 91 an
On September 9, 2014, from Cupertino, California, Apple demonstrated its newest product the Apple Watch. It will not be available for sale until 2015. In the meantime online videos at www.apple.com/watch/ detail all the features of the 'Watch' except the price tag. Speculation about this abounds, though, and most of the internet chatter is about pricing. Whatever it costs, we can expect that the device will do well in the marketplace.
Vancouver, BC, October 2nd—A single vehicle crash on Main Street near East 49th kills two of the passengers; October 3rd—A cyclist hits and kills a pedestrian crossing Stanley Park Drive near the Totem Poles; October 4th—A fiery collision between a Volkswagen Beetle and a truck on the Lions Gate bridge shuts down the bridge for at least two mid-day hours and snarls traffic throughout the North Shore and into the downtown core with reports of many hospitalized … October is off to a very bad start in terms of road carnage throughout the lower mainland.
In the very early days of motoring – the first decade of the 20th century - flat tires were generally an unknown problem. Motor vehicle wheels where equipped with wheels based on technology inherited from horse drawn wagons – spoked wheels with a covering of solid rubber as a tread.
Personal integrity, good character and good manners are not subjects that get much attention in today's world. The pervasive electronic media dwells mainly on group rights and group grievances. Any identifiable social problem is to be answered with a call for legislation. Morality expressed as good manners is, in the main, not regarded as useful.

Slow-Carb Diet Tips: Make Shopping Easier
Even though there are only 5 "rules", it doesn't seem enough to get someone ready to start the slow-carb diet.
I get it; I like to have a full plan too. So over the next few weeks I'm going to put together a series of posts that are designed to get you going immediately on yours.
In this first post, I want to share with you how to shop for groceries more efficiently and less temptationally.
