I am already on my 3rd bottle of pyruvate. I take 2 tablets three times a day before each meal. So far my waist line (love handles)decrease cosiderably or substatially. I do excercise as well, at least twice a week and I do eat a healthy diet. Also my energy level increased quiet a bit. I feel more energetic. So far no side effect. The only problem is with the size of the pill, very big. It is really hard to swallow, very difficult, you got to try sometime twice and with a lot of water . Other than that If you give it time, like me, it might work for you. Good product and cheap. I will continue to take it once I accomplish my goal with a lower dosage.

Disappointing. Took for about a week, and didn't feel well that whole time-- burping, and felt like there was a rock in my stomach. Stopped taking and the symptoms went away. Tried again today and chewed it up really well versus taking the whole tablet, but got same symptoms. Now that I read the description again, it does say it's "manufactured in a plant that does". I really think there's a little gluten in these, which is kind of a shock--I'm used to using NOW for almost everything. But my symptoms are some of my glutened-symptoms. Please note: I am EXTREMELY sensitive, so these may not bother you, even if I'm right.

Some political candidates got a jump-start on their campaigns long before Labor Day, the unofficial beginning of the election season.But others, while chomping at the bit to be off and running, are holding back as they wait to see what others might do — particularly in the case of state Sen. Wendy Davis, D-Fort Worth, who's contemplating a run for governor, a decision that could set off a chain reaction down the political ladder.On the Republican side, Attorney General Greg Abbott announced weeks ago as a candidate to succeed the state's longest-running governor, Rick Perry, who decided not to seek re-election. Abbott's most prominent opponent is Tom Pauken of Port Aransas, a former state party chairman and former chairman of the Texas Workforce Commission.Most of the other statewide offices have several Republican candidates, but no Democrats yet, a trend that has been common since Texas became a "red state" two decades ago. Depending on what Davis does, that could change. Democratic Party officials are hoping to attract a full slate of hopefuls to run for every statewide office if Davis is a candidate for governor. With the senator riding high on her international fame after filibustering an abortion bill, the party hopes to attract some big-time names and even bigger money to help with her campaign.Among the Democratic names being mentioned for lieutenant governor against incumbent David Dewhurst are state Sens. Leticia Van de Putte of San Antonio and Royce West of Dallas or state Rep. Rafael Anchia of Dallas. Van de Putte also won acclaim from women and liberal circles as she joined with Davis in challenging Republicans over the abortion issue.None of those officeholders is expected to make any announcements until after Davis has made her intentions known.That same dilemma faces some would-be candidates on the local level, especially in the race for Davis' Senate District 10, the campaign for Tarrant County district attorney and several judgeships.Although District Attorney Joe Shannon has not said whether he will seek re-election, he has drawn three potential challengers: defense attorneys Wes Ball and George Mackey, and former District Judge Bob Gill, who retired from the bench in 2007 after five terms and rejoined the DA's office.Shannon, 72, won election to the post in 2010 after being appointed in 2009 following the death of longtime District Attorney Tim Curry. Whether or not the district attorney decides to run for re-election, you can bet there will be other challengers in the race.In the courthouse, several long-serving district and appeals judges have plans to switch and run for county courts, meaning they would collect state retirement benefits along with another government check should they win. That will open the door for a lot more lawyers to throw their hats in the judicial ring.Prospective candidates still have a couple of months to decide. The filing period begins Nov. 9 and is scheduled to end Dec. 9.Because there is ongoing litigation over the state's redistricting maps, there's always the possibility that the filing deadline could be extended.Regardless what happens — who's in or who's out — this Tarrant County election season promises to be one for the books.

Windowbox Cafe
- Details
- Category: Restaurant Reviews
- Written by Brian
Now that the holidays are behind us, we can try to get caught up on some reviews that should have been posted a while ago. Windowbox Cafe has become our go to breakfast location. It is in Slingerlands in a small strip mall. It is a smaller location, but we've never had problems with being seated or finding parking. Windowbox has a 'homey' feel to it, and within a few minutes of being there, you can tell that most of the people are regulars.
The review I'm writing is based on our first time there. We were greeted and sat immediately when we walked in. Their specials are written on a white board, but often need some basic deciphering (S.O.S. or Rodeo Benedict). Josie ordered eggs and hash (since she was told their hash was homemade) and I ordered a simple french toast with a side of bacon.
The french toast was the best basic french toast I have had at a diner. They didn't use any special bread or gimmicks it was just battered and seasoned and cooked perfectly. My only problem with this dish is that I felt it was overpriced. I don't remember the exact amount, and they don't have a menu online, but I believe it was around $7 for two pieced of white bread. The bacon (not pictured) was amazing. It has been cooked from limp to crispy in the different times we've been there, but it always tastes great and leaves you wanting more. Josie ordered the eggs (poached) and hash. Her poached eggs were a bit overdone, but still runny. She really enjoyed the hash. The best way I can explain it, is that it was just like the canned version, but used fresh ingredients. Similar in ratio and texture with a nice crunch. She has ordered a side of hash every time we have returned.
Service was friendly, but it was our waitresses first day, so it was a little on the slow side. The biggest downside for visiting Windowbox would be the fact that you feel like an outsider. Everyone is still polite and friendly, but you feel like you are missing out on a connection that most of the other customers seem to have. A small price to pay for quality food, and original specials. Windowbox gets 4 Forks and our repeat business. (and just as an FYI, the rodeo benedict is eggs benedict with house-made pulled pork on it. I had it at a later visit, it is one of the best dishes there)

Wal-Mart Works on 'Green Roofs' with Portland State University
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. of Bentonville is taking green building to a higher level. The roof.
The world's largest retailer is working with Portland State University to build a green roof research site on top of Wal-Mart's new store in North Portland.
PSU's Green Building Research Laboratory will deploy scores of sensors and a weather station on Walmart's new Hayden Meadows store. It will feature 40,000 square feet of vegetative roof installed in three separate sections—each devoted to testing different aspects of green roof design, such as materials and soil depth. The remaining 52,000 square feet of white membrane rooftop will also be monitored by sensors, providing an opportunity to deliver side-by-side comparisons on factors including surface temperature, water flow and building operations.
Data collected from the Hayden Meadows roof will be compared to similar data collected on a Walmart green roof in Chicago, thus providing a comprehensive view of green roof performance under various conditions, PSU says.
Yep, Wal-Mart has a green roof project in Chicago, as well. In fact, Arkansas Business wrote about it waaay back in 2004, part of a story on how Wal-Mart was adapting its stores to different cities. At the time, Wal-Mart was the first "big-box" retailer to take part in a Chicago program that encourage green roof projects:
John Bisio, the Wal-Mart spokesman, said the company has been building stores with white rooftops for at least seven years now, but the foliage on the roof will be an added benefit to urban Chicago.
"It will keep things cooler in the summer, beautify the area and reduce air pollution," he said.
Green roofs have also been popping up in Arkansas. The University of Central Arkansas began testing one on Laney Hall in 2010. And the new Hillside Auditorium on the University of Arkansas campus in Fayetteville features a three-tiered roof design that will support trees, shrubbery, ornamental grasses and other plantings.
Wal-Mart's Portland project will include lots of student involvement and community partners, including the local Bureau of Environmental Services and the Audubon Society, which will monitor bird habitats.
"The data we collect will help the green building industry improve upon the many benefits provided by green roofs—from reducing heat island effects to improving overall building performance," said David Sailor, director of the PSU Green Building Research Laboratory and professor of mechanical engineering. "This research project will lead to better green roof design for buildings around the world."

Strangest locations for datacenters (photos)
Summary: You can find datacenters in all corners of the globe, well beneath the Earth's surface, and even in churches, according to Silicon.com's Nick Heath.
8 of 13Image
Time to go deep underground for this next datacenter, into the caverns of a unused mine. The datacenter is situated 100 meters underground in a coal mine in the Chubu region of Honshu, Japan's main island.
When complete, the facility will total 30 shipping containers, each holding about 250 servers and with about 10,000 processor cores available, although that number could be expanded to 30,000.
Cooling is provided by groundwater and the 15C temperature underground dispenses with the need for air conditioning outside the containers.
The datacenter was set up in 2007 by a joint venture made up of Sun, now owned by Oracle, and 11 other companies.
The group estimates that it could save $9m a year on electricity costs by removing the need for water coolers.
The containers are strong enough to withstand earthquakes of 6.7 on the Richter scale. The picture above is not of the mine used for the Sun datacentre, but a coal mine tunnel in Pennsylvania.

If you are looking for a secure place to store information, then inside a mountain seems a safe bet.
The Mountain Complex and Data Center offers three million square feet of space inside a mountain situated more than 100 feet above the top of the Table Rock Dam in the Ozark mountains of central US.
Inside the mountain there is a further 75 acres of undeveloped space, as seen here.
The facility's owners say the site is "nearly impervious" to catastrophes. Tornadoes blow over the site, floodwaters can't reach it and a "direct attack could not substantially harm The Mountain".

Beneath this Orthodox Christian cathedral in Helsinki is a datacenter designed to pipe heat to nearby homes. The datacenter is located in a former WWII bunker carved into the rock below Uspenski Cathedral.
Heat from the hundreds of computer servers in the datacenter is captured and transferred to water-filled pipes and then used to heat homes in the Finnish capital.
The amount of heat transferred should be enough to heat about 500 homes.
The energy usage of the datacenter, used by IT services firm Academica, is designed to be half that of a typical datacenter.

Gel Formulation Development
Gels are versatile formulations for several routes of administration and phases of pharmaceutical development.
Early Phase Development (Pre-Clinical) Gel Formulation
Our formulations range from the simple yet elegant drug dissolved in cellulose derivatives such as Carboxymethylcellulose or Hydroxyethylcellulose to more complex gels that are liquid until they gel upon exposure to animal body temperature.
The gels used in toxicology studies can be administered topically, orally, rectally, or vaginally.
Don't know what type of formulation you need?

Medical device makers faced a productive but challenging year in 2011. They innovated existing lines, launched new devices and invested in R&D. But they also experienced funding cutbacks and new taxes and regulations. In this report, The Global Market for Medical Devices, 3rd. Edition, Kalorama Information analyzes the current device market in the United States, Europe, Asia and globally, profiles the key players and discusses trends important for market watchers to know.
The medical device market is vast -- everything from a large imaging system to a disposable item can be classified as a type of medical device -- but also provides opportunity for new entrants. While in dollar terms the pharmaceutical market is greater, the device market has more participants and is responsible for more orders and transactions. Throughout the past decade, Kalorama Information has covered many device markets in detail. Certain areas such as infusion pumps, patient monitoring and catheters have shown promising growth. Others have solid market leaders earning stable revenue.
What are the fastest-growing markets for medical devices? Who are the main participants and what competitive moves did they make in 2011? How have device companies fared in a weaker-than-expected recovery? What impact will US healthcare reform and its new taxes have on the industry in the largest medical device market?

Digital dessert – the Cricut Cake Printer
Modern technology has advanced so quickly, so why shouldn't it also advance our cake decorating skills. The Cricut Cake printer will do just that ... and it might inspire a new wave of neighborhood cake competitions and children's parties. The printer is designed to make cake decorating as simple as printing a piece of paper, but instead of using paper and ink, it cuts shapes, words, motifs and decorations into frosting sheets, cookie dough, modeling chocolate and soft candies.

HP's web-enabled printers already featured touchscreen control panels and wireless printing but now the company has gone one step further by including a detachable 7-inch Android with its new Photosmart eStation All-in-One printer. While the prospect of a printer with a free Android tablet might sound pretty tempting, there are some caveats. Although it's possible to browse (and print) online content using the device's web browser, there's no access to the Android Market with apps and widgets limited to customized print-focused offerings from the likes of Yahoo, Facebook and Snapfish.

Review: HP Photosmart Wireless All-in-One B110
Earlier this year, Gizmag attended the Asia-Pacific press launch of HP's web-connected printers. At the time we were hopeful that the company's ePrint technology which, amongst other things, allows users to print documents by sending an email, would help cut down on printer hassles stemming from pesky printer drivers. After spending a bit of time with the HP Photosmart Wireless e-All-in-One Printer B110 we're still hopeful for the future of cloud-based printing, but it seems there are still some kinks that need to be ironed out.

Prints are dry and ready for handling the second they leave the printer, and a special over-coating provides protection from spills and splashes. Read More
HP sees the future of printing in the cloud
Printers are one of the less exciting PC peripherals going around, yet they are one device that most PC users own. While the "paperless office" was predicted as far back as the mid 70's history has shown the reverse to be true, with PC's making it easier than ever to produce hard copies of documents. In my (thankfully brief) time working in IT support for a medium-sized business, printer problems were by far the most common reason for calls for help and of these calls, printer drivers were often the culprit. Anyone who has had to set up a printer has likely also encountered problems with sourcing the right driver for the right system. In developing new web connected and cloud aware printers Hewlett Packard believes it has hit upon a solution that could see an end to driver hassles and give printers much wider functionality, including making printing from mobile devices such as smartphones possible without the need for a PC at all. HP has seen the future of printing and is convinced it lies in the cloud. Read More

PrePeat inkless printer reuses sheets up to 1000 times
Wouldn't you love a dollar for every time you heard the phrase "paperless office" being bandied about during the 90s? Unfortunately, it just didn't happen, did it? On the contrary - as computer and printer technology continued to evolve and printing emails or web pages became quicker and easier - paper use rapidly increased. Manufacturers are coming up with some very clever ideas to reduce ink and paper costs. We've seen portable printers that use zero-ink technology and now there's PrePeat – an innovative office printer that not only uses no ink or toner, it reuses paper. Read More

How far is too far?
In today's installment of the annals of going too far, we find the following stories:
- Hugo Chavez to Replace Bill Murray in Remake of Caddyshack
Hugo Chavez may have finally crossed the line. Gutting Venezuela's constitution was not enough. Fostering leftist uprisings across the Americas was not enough. Getting into bed with anyone who hated America was not enough. Arms deals and military exercises with the Russians were not enough. Providing arms to the FARC, a revolutionary group dedicated to the overthrow of a neighboring government was not enough. But yesterday's report that Chavez is now taking on golf may ultimately do him in.
Reportedly, Chavez sees golf as the leisure pursuit of the elite and is therefore taking steps to shut down two of Venezuela's top golf clubs, one in Maracay and one in Caraballeda. Previously he took off after the sport in one of his televised rants. As reported in the New York Times:
Let's leave this clear," Mr. Chavez said during a live broadcast of his Sunday television program. "Golf is a bourgeois sport," he said, repeating the word "bourgeois" as if he were swallowing castor oil. Then he went on mocking the use of golf carts as a practice illustrating the sport's laziness.
Doesn't he realize that he has finally stirred up a bees nest of trouble he may not be able to control. Golf is not bourgeois sport. (Actually, it started as a pastime of humble shepherds in Scotland.) It is a religion of the rich and powerful. Why just yesterday one of Washington's most notable journalists was commenting to me about the avidity with which President Obama made his way to the links by Andrews Air Force Base, going whenever he could find weekend time. In fact, this reporter wondered aloud how the President found time to be with his family given all his weekend golf. But Obama has the bug. It's not curable. It has historically infected presidents and others who might finally start giving Chavez a hard time now that he has decided to go after them where they live. (My pal New York Times columnist Tom Friedman even writes a golf column, he is so devoted to the game. Personally I am a tennis guy ... because tennis is actually a sport ... I agree with Chavez that nothing involving riding around in a little electric cart can actually be called a sport ... but I bear no malice to golfers. I don't dare.)
Eviscerate democracy in your own country and all you do is anger millions of Venezuelans and right minded people everywhere. That's survivable. But does anyone really want to go head to head with Tiger Woods?
- Give Hillary a Break, Please
This week the media went too far (for a change) in its attacks on Hillary Clinton when she took umbrage at a question about what her husband thought about a particular issue. While the question was misquoted, she had every right to push back on the idea that somehow her views were secondary to his. The attacks on her, focusing on her pique, her mood, her level of exhaustion, the challenges of being married to a powerful man, were almost uniformly sexist. She was delivering through her honesty an important message on a continent where the message needs to be heard. (On a planet where the message needs to be heard.) She is Secretary of State. She is one of the most important political leaders in the United States. She is vastly more relevant to contemporary American politics and policies than is her husband.
That said, I wonder if she then went too far in her response to a question about political corruption when she answered that we had our own problems with our "evolving" democracy in the United States and then offered as an example the implication that the 2000 election was compromised by the fact that Republican candidate for president's brother was governor of the state whose contested election decided the race. Personally, I think the 2000 election is a stain on America's political history, that almost certainly the results in Florida were not fairly reflected in the result and that the intervention of the Supreme Court along party lines was particularly ugly. But the implication that Jeb Bush rigged the results without proof was probably a step too far especially overseas. That said, I am not of the opinion that speaking of our warts overseas is such a bad thing. Honesty is the only path we've got to restoring credibility. It also looked to me like she was a.) joking and b.) exhausted (which is understandable toward the end of an historic 11 day trip across Africa).
- You say Myanmar, I say Burma…Let's call the whole trip off?
Finally, I find myself wondering if Senator Jim Webb's upcoming trip to Myanmar is a trip too far. He will be engaging the leaders of that country's regime concurrently to their latest outrage against the rights of Aung San Suu Kyi -- an 18 month extension on her house arrest which was handed down this week. Further, I highly doubt that anyone sees Webb's trip as that of an independent official. He is not only a prominent Democratic Senator, he is also known to be close to many at senior levels in the Obama administration and almost certainly would not have undertaken this trip without their okay.
The trip tests the core idea of engagement. There are few more odious regimes on the planet and this one is being interacted with precisely at one of the moments when that odiousness is most clearly on display. If Webb's message is tough or produces some relief for Suu Kyi (or at least makes a legitimate attempt to do so), then the risks such a visit will be spun by some to the advantage of the Burmese regime are worth taking. But it's a delicate business and engagement will almost certainly produce instances in which we are played.
All that said, if Webb's trip involves the kind of direct talk of which he is especially capable and is a real effort to advance U.S. interests there (which begin with fairer treatment of Suu Kyi and movement toward restoration of basic rights within Burmese society) then it is not only not going too far ... it will remind the world of how far Burma's neighbors in Asia really ought to be going (and have not gone) to address this blight in their back yard.
UPDATE: After posting I received a note containing an open letter to Webb from three major dissident groups in Burma: the All Burma Monks' Alliance, the 88 Generation Students, and the All Burma Federation of Student Unions. "We are concerned that the military regime will manipulate and exploit your visit and propagandize that you endorse their treatment on Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and over 2,100 political prisoners, their human rights abuses on the people of Burma, and their systematic, widespread and ongoing attack against the ethnic minorities," it reads.

Message from the Dean
From the September Newsletter
Hello AGO friends!
It's great to see those dues renewals coming in as our yearbook deadline approaches. Don't miss out-if you haven't yet paid your dues there's still time. You can log on to www.agohq.org and click on the Membership link to renew with ONCARD, or you can mail your dues directly to American Guild of Organists, 475 Riverside Dr., Suite 1260, New York NY 10115 with a note that you're a member of the Lexington KY chapter. Thanks for your renewal! I'm also happy to report that several new members have joined our ranks, so watch for them at upcoming meetings and be sure to make them feel welcome.
Speaking of upcoming meetings, there are several events this month that you won't want to miss. On September 23rd Lexington AGO is joining with First Presbyterian Church and Christ Church Cathedral to bring Schola Cantorum of Oxford for a magnificent choral concert at Christ Church. Preceding the concert our Hospitality Chair Lynn Vera is hosting a potluck social at her church, St. Andrews Episcopal, which is just a short walk from Christ Church. Lexington AGO will be supplying a deli platter and drinks so all you have to do is come bearing a side dish or dessert and you'll have a chance to catch up on everyone's summer activities before going on to the concert. Look for all the details elsewhere in this newsletter, and plan to come.
Many of our members are participating in events around the region this month- Glenna Metcalf and Roland Herzel will perform on Sept. 12th as the University of Louisville's School of Music gives tribute to Melvin Dickinson in a memorial concert on their campus; Asbury University alumni including Lisa Hall and Mark Schell will be playing on Asbury's recital series September 18th. For more information on these and other upcoming programs, check the newsletter or our chapter website at www.agolexington.org.
I will be traveling some this month and will regrettably have to miss our potluck and Schola Cantorum recital, but I hope to see you at some of the other events mentioned above. Please support your fellow members by coming to their programs when you can, and don't forget to bring a friend!
Melvin Dickinson Memorial Program Announced
The University of Louisville School of Music will present an organ recital on Sept. 12 at 8:00 pm in honor of Prof. Melvin Dickinson. Admission is free.

Our trip to the Abbey

Music at the Abbey
Text from the May newsletter
No, not Downton, but Kentucky's own Gethsemani! Enjoy an afternoon of fellowship, music, and contemplation on May 17 at the Abbey of Gethsemani in Trappist, KY, where monks have lived, worked and prayed for over 150 years.
You may be familiar with their cheese, fruitcake, and the writings of the notable Thomas Merton, but praying the Liturgy of the Hours is at the heart of religious life at the Abbey. Singing through the 150 psalms according to a 2-week cycle forms the backbone of their 7 daily prayer services, and our chapter will have the opportunity to participate in one of them.
We will begin our excursion with lunch in Bardstown at Talbott Tavern at 11:15, including the Installation of Officers led by our chapter chaplain, Larry Sivis. From there, we proceed to the Abbey, where Br. Luke will show and invite us to play the church's LeTourneau organ, followed by the 2:15 service of None, approximately 15 minutes long and open to the public. Next, we adjourn to the choir room for an introduction to the choral works of Gethsemani composer Fr. Chrysogonus Waddell. Br. Luke will share some of Waddell's unpublished hymns written for the Abbey, and Bonnie Harstad will lead a read-through of several octavos published and provided by World Library Publications. From that point, you are free to roam the Abbey's 1200 acres, visit the Welcome Center, and attend the 5:30 Vespers service if desired, leaving whenever you wish.
Feel free to bring a guest or family member to participate in our planned activities, or to explore the church and grounds on their own. For more information about the Abbey of Gethsemani, visit their website at www.monks.org; drive time from Lexington is approximately 1.5 hours.
Mission Statement
The purpose of the American Guild of Organists is to promote the organ in its historic and evolving roles, to encourage excellence in the performance of organ and choral music, and to provide a forum for mutual support, inspiration, education, and certification of Guild members.

Is Google building SKYNET? Ad kingpin buys AI firm DeepMind
Google has agreed to acquire London-based artificial intelligence firm DeepMind Technologies, adding to its growing stable of robot companies. The acquisition was reported yesterday by tech news site Re/code, which claimed that the price tag for the firm was $400m (£241m). Google was not commenting on the deal. According to …
We can build you: ROBOBLAIR SOON!
"GOOGLING A POLITICIAN" == Replace it with higher-quality AI from the Choc Factory. Guaranteed 100% non-sociopathic!
Plasticky face, no baby petting and robotic demeanour will be (welcome?) side-effects of high intelligence, no ego problems and actually logical and consistent behaviour!
Re: We can build you: ROBOBLAIR SOON!
You should read Isaac Asimov's story "Evidence" (http://www.ebook2u.org/sf/Isaac13/27320.html).
Re: We can build you: ROBOBLAIR SOON!
"no ego problems and actually logical and consistent behaviour!"
There is nothing inconsistent about Blair the meatsack's behaviour, he's been utterly self serving in every thing he's ever done.
Re: We can build you: ROBOBLAIR SOON!
The final section of I, Robot has a similar theme.
Shortened version: A group of scientists discover a conspiracy. A group of advanced AIs - fixed computers, rather than robots - acting together to subvert government and effectively take over the world. The scientists debate how best to act on this knowledge, until they realise that these AIs are superhumanly intelligent, near-infallable, have no personal desire for wealth or power, are incapable of harming a human being except to prevent harm to another, and are by nature of their design incapable of acting in any manner that is not in the best interests of mankind collectively. The scientists decide that the best action is inaction: Let the robots win.
Re: We can build you: ROBOBLAIR SOON!
The only real problem with this of course is that nowhere has the Three Laws of Robbish been implemented. In Asimov's stories, the driver for the appearance and refinement of robots was consumerism and space travel, not the military. See the problem? Once the military steps in, there will be no laws other than Kill Them!
For a better view of things AI and robotic, take a look at Dan Simmons Hyperion phone book.
Then again you could look at Neil Asher's Polity books, the AI's in them <seem> to be a little better behaved than Simmons'.
I'll be back... but while you wait, here are some products you might be interested in...
I'd really like to see the return of the Rise Of The Machines subheading to pull all these stories together.

No there isn't ;-)

I guess that's one way to beat Apple.
Your clothes... give them to me, now.
So Google's going to add it a British brain. So when it tries to take over the world we offer it a cuppa or a pint and it'll think sod it, am off to watch the footy instead :P
Its one weakness: Poor reception on radio 4 long wave.
But before having a cup of tea and a pint (or 10), those British brained robots just might invade 88% of the world and enslave / murder / rule a good portion of humanity.
I for one welcome our new robot overlords, their robot King / Queen and their British grammar and spelling.

So a smart heating control is worth 8x more than AI technology? Maybe the AI will be used to help their aquisition strategy?
You're thinking too hard
There's no grand plan, I mean, sure something may come up when you let your engineers play around with all these pieces, but that's just gravy, the goal is patents, lovely lovely patents.
Re: You're thinking too hard
You think because some acquisitions, like Motorola, or the Rockstar consortium's buy of Nortel's patents were for patents that all are? It is hard to see Nest being worth $3.2 billion based on patents (well, it is hard to see it being worth $3.2 billion by any measure, I guess)
Sometimes companies acquire another because they plan to use their technology. It is a lot easier to see where Google might use the type of stuff DeepMind is working on to improve their core search technology by making it better able to know what it is you're actually looking for when doing a search. DeepMind may not even have any patents, some companies operate more in terms of trade secrets - as Google does for its latest versions of search software which are not covered by patents.
Similarly, when Apple buys SnappyLabs they're probably buying it to integrate into iOS, not because Apple wants to try to fight others based on camera patents.
Oh, good.
now the first AI's built by humans will not only be financial speculators or military systems. They could be advertising executives as well. I dread to think what sort of machine society that mix is going to create...
Re: Oh, good.
It's a two sided war. Just setup an AI to browse the net and filter out the adds for you. Like an AI internet browser plugin. You will though have to reinstall every day as a few hours of automatic WOW dancing dwarf videos or fake dating site popup will drive even the most hardened emotionally dead machine to the grave.
They do seem keen on doing things in-house instead of outsourcing these days. Presumably the philosophy is: "The suppliers are not set. There is no kit but what we make for ourselves."
Coat... getting it.
Are those Brains from donor Rats? That previously flew F22s
Yes you gotta dig pretty deep into the Wayback Machine to get this One...
When you asked Google to comment
Did they reply, "F*ck you, asshole"?

They must be testing it out because I just had a video call from Elvis Presley recommending a sailing holiday for only $999.
On a serious note this will go badly when the NSA have the ability to impersonate world leaders. Imagine an AI version of Kim Jong-un ordering his troops via video link to shell a nearby "rebel" regiment.
Nobody will be safe, anyone could be impersonated and discredited or blackmailed.

Teach your children now. Start spreading the news with #Prep. I have. These people are not going to be able to handle this technology. They are too arrogant, eager, and young. This is the incarnation of evil and it's about to get very, very bad for the human animal. There is only one possible outcome. After the fall of man we will join with machine and try to fight them from the inside. #Prep.

Time, Inc. will sell its magazines on Apple's Newsstand
Laura Lang, CEO of Time, Inc. and Eddy Cue, Apple's VP for Internet software and service, confirmed to The New York Times that Time Inc.'s magazine lineup is coming to the iPhone and iPad.
All of Time's magazines including People, Sports Illustrated, InStyle and Entertainment Weekly will be available soon in Apple's Newsstand app container. Up until now, the standalone Time Inc. apps have not enabled subscription purchases in-app.
Unlike Condé Nast and Hearst, which adopted Apple's subscription service last year, Time, Inc. has been reluctant to agree to the restrictions Apple imposed on companies that sold magazine subscriptions through its App Store.
At the crux of this complaint is customer data, which was held by Apple and not shared with magazine publishers. Apple has eased those restrictions and now gives users the option to share their information to the publisher.
Apple's newsstand debuted in October 2011 with iOS 5 and currently sells more than 5,000 magazines and newspapers.

Syrian missiles 'harass' Turkish jets
Tuesday, May 13, 2014
ANKARA - Several Turkish F-16 fighter jets on daily patrols were "locked onto" by Syrian regime radars for more than 15 minutes in the latest incident of "harassment," the Turkish military has said.
The incident happened as the Turkish jets were patrolling near Turkey's southeastern Hatay city near the Syrian border, on Tuesday, the Turkish military said in a statement, without disclosing the number of jets involved.
The action by Syrian forces to activate the SA-5 and SA-17 surface-to-air systems disrupted the flights of the aircraft, officials said.
A similar incident happened in early May when Turkish Armed Forces reported that six of their F-16 fighter jets had been "harassed" after being locked onto by Syrian regime radars for more than two minutes.
Tensions in the area have remained high since Turkish forces shot down a Syrian warplane after it entered Turkish airspace on March 23.
The two countries' borders extend more than 800 km.

text: Obama Spills to US Weekly: 'Homeland Is My Favorite TV Show!' Print article Send a Tip by Ben Shapiro 1 Nov 2012 post a comment As it turns out, Barack Obama can chew gum and walk at the same time. Which is to say, he can sign large checks from FEMA and do interviews with US Weekly at the same time. But he can't tell the truth about Benghazi. That would force him to either jettison the FEMA or the US Weekly. And he's not about to jettison US Weekly. This week, Obama joins the teenybopper magazine to explain five things Americans didn't know about him. Hold your breath – here they are: In the new issue of Us Weekly, on stands Friday, Obama, 51, reveals surprising tidbits about life inside the White House with wife Michelle, 48, and daughters Malia, 14, and Sasha, 11, his downtime (Homeland, anyone?), the bear hug he didn't expect, and much more. (Us offered the same opportunity to Obama's opponent, Republican Presidential nominee Mitt Romney; Romney declined.) As voters head to the polls in mere days, Obama shares 5 things you didn't know about him with Us. 1. Michelle and I have officially (and famously) been on a Kiss Cam. But our first kiss was outside of a Baskin-Robbins ice cream shop in Chicago's Hyde Park. 2. I was once bear-hugged by a Republican pizza shop owner in Florida. I thought it was hilarious, but I'm not sure how the Secret Service felt about it. 3. Homeland is my favorite TV show. 4. Malia entered high school this year. I'm not looking forward to when she's old enough to go to prom. 5. I voted early in Chicago. No matter who you're voting for, there's no reason to stay home and not make your voice heard in this election. Find out how you can vote early at GottaVote.com. We already knew all of these things. Two of them are clearly campaign talking points. And all of them are annoying. But what's most annoying is this CelePresident doing interviews like this and hitting up Leno while ignoring the deaths of Americans in Benghazi.

text: District Judge to Appoint Monitor to Watch Sheriff Arpaio Print article Send a Tip by AWR Hawkins 2 Sep 2013 post a comment After ruling in May that Maricopa county, AZ, Sheriff Joe Arpaio has to stop "using race as a grounds to stop, detain, or hold occupants of vehicles," District Judge Murray Snow now plans to appoint a monitor to watch over Arpaio's office. According to Reuters, this monitor could be added to the Sheriff's office as early as mid-September. Murray announced the future appointment of a monitor on August 30, at which time Arpaio's attorney Tim Casey argued that this is only going to make the Sheriff's job harder and perhaps even usurp the Sheriff's authority. Casey asked the court: "Who will resolve disputes with him?" Snow responded, "I will resolve disputes with him." American Civil Liberties Union Immigrants' Rights Project's Cecillia Wang called Arpaio's resistance to being monitored is "troubling." She added, "There really needs to be a way to make sure [Arpaio] is not violating the Constitution." Arpaio is serving his sixth term as Maricopa county Sheriff.

Two memmbers of the National Guard were killed in an accident on Monday. Robert Orta, 37, is from Pueblo West. Arnold Harp, 32, was from Colorado Springs. They were both stationed in Alamosa.
State troopers say it happened on Highway 160, in Costilla County, about 17 miles east of Fort Garland. Troopers say Orta was passing a truck pulling a trailer. He tried to pass the it, lost control, and hit the trailer.
Orta's Dodge Durango spun into the other lane, and was hit by a semi. State patrol believes icy roads, and speed led to that crash. Both men were pronounced dead at the scene. The accident remains under investigation.

Our Partners
In envisioning a Bangladesh that is free, secure and prosperous, UNDP underscores the importance of global and national partnerships and an integrated view of development. To support for MDGs UNDP Bangladesh puts partnerships at the centre of its efforts, especially since the goals are cross-cutting and often symptomatic of deprivation and poverty. Over the past several years, UNDP has made significant progress in strengthening partnerships and marshalling resources to unlock and enlarge the potentials for human development in Bangladesh. We believe our work has a significant impact because of the synergy we create between the Government of Bangladesh, UN agencies, bilateral agencies, the private sector and civil society.
UNDP Bangladesh has made continuous efforts for having strategic partnerships/alliances to achieve more with less, hence has been selective, not exhaustive. Strategic partnerships/ alliances have enabled us to gain a competitive advantage through access to new ideas, technologies, know-how and resources.

Sign up for the Easyart newsletter to take advantage of this exclusive offer and receive updates on the latest artists and collections.
Gives the frame its character and provides the perfect setting for an artwork to be fully enjoyed.
Protects the artwork from dust and wilting so that it can be admired for many years.
Adds depth to an image and works with the moulding to enhance and protect the artwork.
Bonds to the artwork ensuring it is perfectly smooth and holds the whole frame together.
We partner with the world's top museums and galleries to bring you exclusive prints of the highest quality. Our teams of designers ensure the colours are accurate, papers are well suited and the best frames are suggested.
In the printing room, artworks are printed on state-of-the-art machines with a team of technicians checking colour and quality every step of the way.
After being cut down to size, our team carefully finish any stray edges, check measurements and prepare the prints for mounting and framing.
We have a team of master framers who work with high-quality, responsibly-sourced wood to create our vast range of framing combinations - each frame is bespoke and made to order for every print.
Our selection of hand-finished frames are painted or stained by hand in a variety of colours, and finished with a layer of wax - the end result is a uniquely crafted, beautiful frame that is made to last.
In this workshop everything comes together - the print, the frame and the glass - in a seamless and stream-lined process.
The artwork is carefully mounted in preparation for framing.
Once mounted, the print is ready to be covered by glass or perspex - a delicate procedure but expertly done with not a fingerprint in sight.
After a final, thorough check, the framed print is ready to be carefully packaged up and shipped to the customer.
For those who order their art as canvas prints, the same amount of attention and care goes into the process. Here, the print is being transferred to a wooden frame.
As with the framed prints, our canvases are all hand-finished in the workshop - a labour of love from start to finish.

A young woman's life changed forever when a driver under the influence smashed head on into her car. But the shock of what happened didn't end on impact. That other driver couldn't be charged with driving under the influence or D-U-I. He had been huffing on a cleaner can.
Two months after being hit by a huffing driver Lindsey Anderson says Nebraska D-U-I laws need better balance.Lindsey says, " Penalties for driving under the influence of alcohol and driving under the influence of huffing should all be the same."
Omaha's city prosecutor says the law won't allow him to charge the huffing driver with a D-U-I. City Prosecutor David Smalheiser says, "It has the same affect on the body and ability to drive as someone driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. But it's not a drug, it's a chemical compound. Not all chemical compounds are drugs so I can't charge him for under the influence of a drug."
A young man behind the wheel of a pickup inhaling from a cleaner can crossed into Lindsey's lane near 168th and Fort. Lindsey's dad was on the scene minutes later. Greg Lovett says, " First thing I thought is she didn't make it."
Broken bones are healing after four surgeries while Lindsey is a patient at Lincoln's Madonna Rehabilitation Hospital. Lindsey is determined to be doing a lot of walking and talking soon about the dangers in this can if used for huffing.
The teacher will use her painful experience as a teachable moment that goes beyond the warning label on a cleaner can. Lindsey Anderson says, " I want parents to realize when they see these cans in their children's rooms they're probably not using them to clean their computers. They're using them to get high and if you do it while driving you're going to hurt somebody or your self."
And she's a perfect witness for change in the driving under the influence laws that the prosecutor says is needed.
David Smalheiser says, " By amending he law hopefully we can make it an enhance-able offense and make it a second or third offense.That way we can use probation like in drunk driving cases to get treatment."
Written on the grease board in Lindsey's hospital room a declaration that makes therapy easier to endure.
It says, "One step closer to home." And nearer to Lindsey's goal of getting the law changed so that huffing and driving is a D-U-I.
The driver of the pickup 18 year old Christian Lacey will be sentenced in September for Willful Reckless Driving and being under the influence of an inhalant.
Combined the maximum sentence would be about five months in jail. If huffing had been covered by the D-U-I law he could have faced a felony for causing severe injury.
A message left with someone at Lacey's home didn't lead to a return call for comment.

It gives me great pleasure to launch the Federal Tax Ombudsman's (FTO's) website. This initiative is a critical component of our strategy to strengthen complaint filing and decision support system for the aggrieved taxpayers. The Website provides working knowledge of the legal and procedural framework, organizational and administrative set-up of FTO Secretariat and addresses of FTO Secretariat, Islamabad and the Regional Offices. It also contains FTO's landmark decisions on complaints which indicate the extent of relief being provided by FTO Secretariat to the aggrieved taxpayers.
The recent initiatives being undertaken by FTO Secretariat are focused on providing inexpensive and speedy justice to the taxpayer aggrieved by tax maladministration. For this purpose two more regional offices are being operationlised at Faisalabad and Peshawar. A state of the art online complaint filing system is also being put in place to reduce time and cost of complaint filing. The objective of introduction of information technology is to achieve a highly enabled paperless environment. In addition, an FTO - taxpayer interface has been established through periodic meetings with Chambers of Commerce and Industry, Trade Bodies, Business Associations, Tax Bars and the Civil Society Organizations in the country.
Similarly we have undertaken business process reengineering of our operating procedures to improve our output and productivity. The capacity building and professionalization of the FTO Secretariat is an ongoing process to achieve higher levels of professionalism and to ensure good governance in the revenue administration.
While, the core objective is to provide an efficient and effective external equalizer in the form of FTO Secretariat to the less privileged,...

A string of good student performances, look forward to it the next year.
Great presentation on leadership. Too bad more people didn't attend.
Fresh perspective. Inspiring.
It was very interesting to see that the same reasons that motivate me to engage in social media, keeping in touch and remembering/sharing events, have driven society for centuries. I was worried about the negative questions regarding social media from the audience about addiction and losing touch with "real" people. This should be seen as a tool to do exactly the opposite, connect with others.
A great exposition of what he has written about .. good responses to audience questions .. he made it relevant.
Senator Gillibrand gave a thoughtful, engaging, and powerful speech.
Great performances
Pt. Hariprasad Chaurasia is an expert at keeping his audience spell bound! Really enjoyed the concert :)
A few fabulous student performances! A great show :)
Awesome event! Great performances and rich content...Amazing 3 hours

November 28, 2014
WASHINGTON (AP) - The number of people applying for U.S. unemployment benefits slipped 2,000 last week to a seasonally adjusted 339,000, the fifth straight decline that shows businesses see little need to cut jobs.
The Labor Department says the less volatile four-week average fell 5,750 to 344,000. The average has dropped 11 percent in the past year.
Applications, which are a proxy for layoffs, are back near pre-recession levels after spiking in early October because of the partial government shutdown and the processing backlogs in California. The steady declines are the latest sign that companies are firing very few workers.
Last week's report on hiring and unemployment in October showed that businesses are also adding workers at a steady pace.

Your Pazz & Jop victors have command over more than the votes of some nebbish music journosthey control the cosmos. During this spring's Coachella gig, singer Kyp Malone commanded the sun to set and it hurriedly did, perhaps because it, too, wanted to hear "Red Dress." As beautifully calamitous as they sounded on last year's Dear Science, the group's revolving roster is strongest live, with piercing brass and overwhelming percussion that underscores their Afrobeat influences. They have less to be enraged about since the inaugurationbut, then, you like 'em angry. With Dirty Projectors.
