DARPA's human-augmentation suit
August 27, 2013
One of the most common risks that dismounted Soldiers face in the field is injury from carrying their gear — often topping 100 pounds — for extended periods over rough terrain.
Heavy loads increase the likelihood of musculoskeletal injury and also exacerbate fatigue, which contributes to both acute and chronic injury and impedes Soldiers' physical and cognitive abilities to perform mission-oriented tasks.

New IPI Book on Peace Operations and Crime
On July 14th, the IPI Vienna Office launched a new book entitled Peace Operations and Organized Crime: Enemies or Allies? The book, published by Routledge, is edited by Adam Lupel of IPI, and James Cockayne, formerly of IPI and now Co-Director of the Center on Global Counterterrorism in New York.
Organized crime has become a major threat to international peace and security. It is present in almost every theater where the UN has peace operations. This book explores how, in some cases, peace operations and organized crime are clear enemies, while in others they may become allies. Case studies include Afghanistan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Guatemala, Haiti, Iraq, Kosovo, West Africa, and Somalia.
"Considering the severity of the threat posed by organized crime, the UN and its member states are ill-prepared," said Cockayne, adding "new approaches and tools are needed." "This book is a further contribution to IPI's research and recommendations on dealing with organized crime," said Lupel, recalling previous publications like the IPI Blue Paper on Transnational Organized Crime (2009).
"Given the risks taken by the men and women in peace operations, and the dangers confronted by war-torn communities, coherent strategic thinking and flexible peace operational tools must include ways of confronting organized crime," write the editors.
The book launch was attended by a number of senior officials, including Yury Fedotov, Executive Director of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), and Lamberto Zannier, the new Secretary-General of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) and former head of the UN Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK).
The event was preceded by a discussion among a group of experts who looked at how the UN can mainstream the issue of organized crime in its work, and how more effective use can be made of threat assessments. IPI is currently undertaking a project – funded by Switzerland and Norway – called Peace without Crime: Towards an Integrated Response to Transnational Organized Crime.

Rep. Adam Schroadter: Penalties for marijuana use in NH should fit the crime
The best argument for passing HB 1625 comes straight out of our New Hampshire Constitution. Part I, Article 18 says "all penalties ought to be proportioned to the nature of the offense." In other words, the punishment ought to fit the crime.
If we as legislators ask the people who voted us into office, then according to several polls, the answer is that there should be no penalty at all. Polls have consistently found majority support for legalization, with opposition dwindling.
The bill also reduces other maximum penalties for amounts above one ounce, again, consistent with Article 18. Possession of up to six plants would remain a criminal offense, but it would be reduced from a felony to a Class A misdemeanor, which can still be punished by up to a year in jail. And although felony penalties would be maintained for the crime of selling marijuana, the maximum prison sentences would be reduced.
Adam Schroadter is a Republican state representative from Newmarket.

Software development
The General Services Administration is crowdsourcing ideas for digital tools that will help agencies better manage travel costs.
The agency's public software development competition, launched on Feb. 14, offers $35,000 in prize money for the most innovative and useful tool. The runner-up will receive $30,000, and an honorable mention position offers a $25,000 prize. The contest runs through April 11.
In a Feb. 18 post on GSA's website, Anne Rung, associate administrator of the Office of Governmentwide Policy, said GSA was looking for "cutting-edge software design that enhances transparency and helps hold agencies accountable on travel spending, while also providing federal agencies with the best recommendations on how to reduce travel costs."
The Travel Data Challenge seeks technology-driven tools that can aggregate, synthesize and display GSA's travel data in easy-to-understand ways and help drive cost savings. Ultimately, GSA wants other federal agencies to use the tool to identify their own cost-cutting opportunities.
GSA said it would make sample datasets available to contest competitors. It also noted that the tool is not intended to publicly display any agency's data and that information would be protected behind certified username and password protections.
The key to the competition is creating a unique tool that agencies can use to visualize their travel spending with accompanying references on how those costs could be reduced. Innovation is the watchword. "GSA does not want an analysis tool that tells what is already known," according to a statement on the project's web page.
A second part of the challenge asks the public to find and identify gaps in how travel data is collected by the federal government, with recommendations on how to close those gaps and fine-tune how federal travel data is collected.
That might include additional data elements that would lead to greater transparency in federal spending.
"The ultimate goal of the tool is to help federal agencies drive cost-saving behaviors in travel through easy-to-understand information," Rung wrote in her blog post.
Submissions will be judged against the following criteria:

VeriSign to raise .com, .net prices
VeriSign has announced plans to raise the price of .com and .net domain names again. The .net price increase comes just a few weeks after the company renewed its registry contract with industry overseer ICANN. From 15 January, 2012, the company said that it intends to charge $7.85 for a .com, up from $7.34, and added that .net …
Why the difference ?
Why is there a difference in over $2 between a .net and a .com address ?
re: Why the difference
For the same reason you can get a .info or .biz for pennies, because it isn't as popular or easily remembered as .com
Because this is a monopoly and we can charge whatever the hell we like?
no competition
Because there is only one source for .com domain names, its entirely to be expected that the price will continue to rise and rise
Who will pay for the new TLDs if .com is cheaper...
Who will pay for the new TLDs if .com is cheaper, gotta start pushing the prices up now so that when the other stuff comes online, it wont seem so expensive.

Looking for his first name. My dad was a moonshiner and Fats bought moonshine from him. In the mid 1950's he bought some moonshine and reworked the shine and it turned out to be poison. He sold it to colored people and they died. He was convicted of murder and sent to prison. He died I think in prison several years back. Any information would be appreciated.

(No Model.)
No. 392,105. Patented Oct. 30, 1888.
' lUirhn STATES ATENT tries.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 392,105, dated Getober 30, 1888.
Application filed April I, 1888. Serial No. 269,924.
To aZZ whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, THOMAS L. CHAPMAN, of Richmond, in the county of Henrico and State of Virginia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cup Holders; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, ref erence being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form part of this specification, in which Figure l is a side view of my improved holder and cup therein. Fig. 2 is a top view of the same. Fig. 8 is a detail view.
This invention is an improved cup, glass, or other open liquid-holdingwessel support; and its object is to' provide a holder or receptacle for a cup or open vessel, which holder can be set upon a table and is self-supporting, and which will support the cup or other vessel in such manner that it can swing readily in any direction on the holder and be kept upright by its own gravity, whether the holder is inclined or not.
The invention is specially designed for use on shipboard and on cars, where the jar or rocking incident to the motion of the ship or car would cause the fluid contents of vessels placed upon a table or floor to splash, and which has heretofore caused much annoyance to travelers.
To this end the invention consists in the novel construction and arrangement of parts hereinafter described, illustrated in the drawings, and specified in the claim hereto appended.
Referring tothe drawings by letter, A represents the supporting-frame of the holder, which, as shown, consists of four uprights, a a, connected near their lower ends by and to a ring or disk, B, being extended below said disk to form the feet of the holder. The upper ends of these uprights are connected to a band, 0, as shown.
D designates a ring smaller in diameter than band C, and provided at diametricallyopposite points with projecting trunnions d d, which engage in corresponding openings formed in ring 0 and two opposite uprights, a, as shown. Bing D is thus pivoted upon and (No model.)
allowed a free oscillation or swing within band 0.
E is a ring smaller in diameter than ring D, and lying within the latter, being provided at diametrically-opposite points with projecting trunnions e e, which engage in openings formed in ring D at diametrically-opposite points and on a line at right angles to a line between trunnions d d of the latter ring. Ring E is thus pivoted upon and permitted a free oscillation or swing within ring D, but at right angles to the swing of the latter ring within ring 0.
Ring E is of proper diameter to receive and suspend a cup, G, as shown. It is evident that when a cup, G, or other vessel is suspended in the holder, as shown, any tilting of the latter will not be transferred to the cup, the latter by its own weight oscillating rings E and D and preserving its perpendicular, so that if the holder be placed on a table or other support it can be shaken without causing the contents of the vessel to splash out, as the latter will instantly gravitate the rings to keep itself in an upright position. If a vessel having a handle is used, the rings E D and band C are preferably formed with corresponding offsets, as shown in Fig. 3, for the accommodation of the handle.
H designates a handle for holder A, secured to one of the uprights, by which the holder and cup can be lifted together; or the cup or vessel can be removed from the holder and replaced therein, as desired or found most convenient by the user. Saucers can be dispensed with when the holder is used, and the spoons can be placed on disk B.
The essential feature and object of my invention are to support a drinkingvessel in a small compact holder in such manner that the vessel will not be affected by the jar or vibration of the holder when the latter is set down upon a table or stand.
I am aware that gimbals have been employed for suspending torches, compasses, 850., and therefore do not claim such devices, broadly; but,
Having described my invention, 1 claim- The herein-described holder, for the purpose specified, consisting of a frame, A, composed of uprights a a, disk B, band C, and handle In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my 1i, and the ring D, pivotally mounted in frame own I affix my signature in presence of two A, and the ring E, pivotally mounted on the Witnesses.
ring D, the uprights a being extended below THOMAS L. CHAPMAN. 5 disk B to form the feet of the holder, all con- Witnesses:
structed and arranged substantially in the W. J. HALLER,
manner and for the purpose described. V7; N. PAGE.

Bandanna Plays Dance Party at VT's Town Hall Theater Tonight, 9/28
Got the itch to do some dancing? Town Hall Theater has booked the best local band for dancing, Bandanna, for a dance party tonight, September 28.
"Bandanna brought down the house when they played here last year, and we immediately asked them to come back," says THT executive director Douglas Anderson. Hailing from the Lincoln area, the band is making fans wherever it goes.
Jim Lienau has a long history of making music in the area, going back to fondly-remember Fat Tones, a 5-person a cappella group. He's joined by Ron Rost on keyboards, Glenn Goodwin on bass, and J.R. Highter on drums.
The lead singer in the band is Anna, Jim's daughter – hence the band's name, Bandanna. Anna Lienau, though only in her 20's, has a knowledge of music that stretches back half a century. Her renditions of Patsy Cline songs could be mistaken for the originals, and whether she's singing country, Motown or rock & roll, she throws herself into the music. "This is one of the best voices I've heard in a long time," says Anderson, "and she's a lot of fun to watch, because she loves every moment of what she's doing. See her now, because she's going places."
Bandanna will appear at Town Hall Theater on Saturday, September 28, starting at 8 pm. The big Town Hall Theater floor will be cleared for dancing, and the balcony will be open for those who want to sit and simply experience this remarkable band.
A cash bar and snacks will be available. Tickets are $10, and may be purchased at www.townhalltheater.org, by calling 382-9222, at the THT Box Office or at the door.
Picturd: Anna Lienau, her dad Jim Lineau and their band Bandanna play everything from rock & roll classics to Patsy Cline at a Town Hall Theater dance party tonight, September 28.

(UPDATE: This article was published on 6 October and has been left as it was on that date. The VEC has since continued with the process of registering new parties. The following links to the VEC site take you to the list of registered parties and the parties awaiting final registration.)
Having already faced one metre ballot papers at last year's Senate election, Victorian voters look set to face the same ordeal in several regions at November's state election.
Last September the Victorian Senate ballot paper had 97 candidates spread across 40 columns on a one-metre ballot paper with reduced font size.
Compared to this Senate whale, Victoria's Legislative Council ballot papers have to date been tiddlers in comparison.
In 2006 11 parties contested the Victorian Legislative Council election, the largest ballot papers being in Eastern and Northern Victoria Regions, contested by 38 candidates spread across an 11 column ballot paper.
In 2010 the number of parties contesting fell to eight, the largest ballot paper being 34 candidates across 11 columns in Northern Metropolitan Region.
It is just four weeks till party registrations close with the issue of writs, and already there are 14 parties registered to contest the 2014 election, with another nine awaiting final registration.

Austin camera maker files trade secret lawsuit against competitor
Send this to a friend
Austin surveillance camera maker Advanced EDR Systems LLC has charged a former design partner with stealing ideas when it launched a competing company, Idrive Inc.
Along with its partner Envision Engineering, the local company launched in 2007 sued Idrive Inc., Solutions Group Inc., Sean O'Neil, Stephan Dragomir, Randy Aldridge and Colin Cairns in the case.
"We believe some of the key people behind the Idrive (camera) learned this information through their confidential relationship with (Advanced EDR Systems) and are now using it to compete against us," Advanced CEO Daniel D'Agostino said.
The lawsuit claims: misappropriation of trade secrets, civil theft under the Texas Theft Liability Act, misappropriation by unfair competition, conspiracy, tortious interference with existing contract, individual liability, individual liability of Sean O'Neil for the $425,000 underlying judgment, liability of Solutions Group and Sean O'Neil under the Texas Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act for the $425,000 underlying judgment, exemplary damages and permanent injunction.
The filing alleges defendants learned Advanced EDR's trade secrets and proprietary information when Design Solutions Inc. was hired to assist in design and development of the envisionCAM. Sean O'Neil is that company's CEO.
The envisionCAM is a high-definition video recorder that tapes accidents and aggressive driving. The device is mounted to the windshield and links with a global positioning system and software used to view and analyze what the camera records.
The lawsuit announced today is the second tangle between the parties. Previously, Advanced accused failure to deliver a working product and breach of contract when Design Solutions was working for them. That lawsuit was eventually settled.

About the Book
Adventure, intrigue, and romance combine in a new fantasy duology from Incarnate series author Jodi Meadows.
When Princess Wilhelmina was a child, the Indigo Kingdom invaded her homeland. Ten years later, Wil and the other noble children who escaped are ready to fight back and reclaim Wil's throne. To do so, Wil and her best friend, Melanie, infiltrate the Indigo Kingdom palace with hopes of gathering information that will help them succeed.
But Wil has a secret—one that could change everything. Although magic has been illegal for a century, she knows her ability could help her save her kingdom. But magic creates wraith, and the deadly stuff is moving closer and destroying the land. And if the vigilante Black Knife catches her using magic, she may disappear like all the others. . . .
The Orphan Queen delivers epic fantasy, perfect for fans of Graceling by Kristin Cashore, Girl of Fire and Thorns by Rae Carson, and Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo.

COLLIER COUNTY, Fla.- Collier County deputies were busy Thursday afternoon. Deputies pulled over two men on Immokalee Road, in connection with a search warrant for a possible marijuana grow house.
Both suspects were standing outside of the car, handcuffed. That's when Ivan Mondeja, from Miami, reportedly tried to make a run for it and he was hit by a car.
WINK News was on scene when Mondeja was airlifted to Lee Memorial Hospital with serious injuries.
The suspects are facing multiple charges including marijuana trafficking.
Amd just down the street from the accident scene, on Kari Island Drive, WINK News watched as investigators removed at least two truckloads of large brown bags of evidence. The bags were labeled "plants." We noticed a strong smell of marijuana.
I spoke to neighbors who said they've never seen anything like this before in their neighborhood.
"Those people, they're renters. And they're not very friendly. The new owners are renting it out, so we dont know who they are but they're not very sociable, no."
The Collier County Sheriff's Office has not said whether the two cases are related.

In the end, Detroit City Council President Saunteel Jenkins got this one exactly right.
The council had voted down a deal proposed by Detroit emergency manager Kevyn Orr to borrow $350 million from Barclays, an international bank. About $230 million of the proceeds of the loan called debtor in possession financing, commonly used by private companies during bankruptcy restructuring would have gone to settle a disastrous 2005 credit swap that left the city at a significant disadvantage. The remaining $120 million would have gone to operational upgrades that are necessary, if Detroit is ever going to start functioning like a normal city.
The vote was poorly timed. If council members were going to line up on Orrs side in a financial transaction, it probably wouldnt be two weeks before an election. But whatever the reason, council voted down the deal, saying they were investigating an alternate loan option from an unnamed financial institution.
To absolutely no ones surprise, that deal fell through.
The Barclays loan now goes to the states Emergency Loan Board, a panel composed of three appointees of Gov. Rick Snyder, but U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Steven Rhodes will make the final call on the loan as a part of the citys bankruptcy proceedings.
Council dropped the alternate loan late last week. Jenkins said that the deal couldnt be done under the terms of the states emergency manager law, which allowed the council 17 days to present an alternate plan.
But the reality is, for a deal like this, experts couldnt craft a deal like this in 17 days, Jenkins said. So, certainly people who dont do this type of thing every day couldnt do it.
And thats really it.
The number of consultants working on the citys bankruptcy and restructuring, and the price tag for those consultants, has drawn a lot of fire. But heres the thing: This is what those consultants do. Jenkins was right, the Detroit City Council is not equipped to negotiate a complicated debtor in possession loan perhaps the first of its kind in a municipal bankruptcy whether that body had 17 days or 170 days to get it done. This is no slight on the council. Its a complex, sophisticated financial transaction, the kind of thing that folks hire investment bankers to handle.
So why try? Well, theres that whole election thing. Then theres this: Any time a big bank is involved, especially in a deal brokered by outside consultants, there are some folks who will think that means the fix is in, that its a sweetheart deal designed to line the pockets of the rich at the expense of Detroiters.
But heres the reality of the Barclays deal: The city reached out to 50 institutions, and 30 interested parties made bids. The loan allows the city to essentially refinance a debt with an interest rate of 6.3% at a rate of 3.5%, and gain restructuring capital, to boot. Could the city get a better deal in bankruptcy court? Maybe. The Barclays loan would settle the swaps at about 75 cents on the dollar, a great deal if the swaps deal was secured debt, not so much if the swaps are deemed unsecured.
And heres another piece of reality: If Rhodes rules that the swaps deal was unsecured, resulting in a lower settlement payment, it would be at the end of a lengthy, costly court fight. Detroit needs the money now.
Should the council respect the due diligence Orrs team conducted? Yes. But its a two-way street. Orr and his team could have been a lot more public about the terms of the loan, and the manner in which it was handled, particularly about the wide range of offers submitted.
Folks at city hall have to start talking to each other and trusting each other or Detroit is never going to move forward.

Okruashvili's Party Blames the Government for Threatening the Members of Their Party
Movement for the United Georgia blames the government for having oppressed the activists of the opposition parties.
The Medianews was reported from the party that yesterday, the members of their party were threatened once more.
"Several strange people met Giorgi Okruashvili, member of the youth branch of the movement, near his house and warned him, and two more members of the party, Lasha Sirbiladze and Shota Skhiladze to abandon the party of Irakli Okruashvili, former Defense Minister of Georgia. Otherwise, the strangers threatened them with physical assault like it happened with two other members of the party, Amiran Iobashvili and Zura Giguashvili," reported the opposition party.
"Movement for the United Georgia" calls upon the government to stop oppression against opponents and if the abovementioned people will be somehow damaged the government will be responsible for it.
