decadreHave tried reading aloud
Will see how much this helps – most of speaking clearly for me is learning to speak slower so this is a good way to practice that. 3 years ago
10 years after introducing 43 Things to the world, we have decided we have met our last goal: completing the incredible experience that has been 43 Things. Please join us in giving one last cheer to all the folks who have shared their goals with the world, as well as all the people who have worked at The Robot Co-op to build this incredible website. We won a Webby Award, published a book, and brought happiness to a lot of people.
Starting today, 43 Things users can export their goals and entries from the site. Starting August 15, we will make the site "read only". 43 Things users will still be able to view the site and export their content, but we won't be taking any new content from users. We hope to leave the site up for folks to see and download their content until the end of the year. Ending on New Year's Eve takes us full circle.
It has been a long ride (one of our original goals was to "build a company that lasts at least 2 years" - we beat that one!) While we wish the site could live on, it has suffered from a number of challenges - changes in how people use the site, the advertising industry, and how search engines view the site. We wish the outcome was different – but we've always been realistic about when our goals are met and when they aren't.
As of today, you will be able to download your goals and entries. See more about that on the FAQ page. Thanks for 10 great years of goal-setting and achieving.

I have put a swear jar between my workmate and I – at first we put loads of cash in there but we are a lot better these days, I still swear, but now I think about it before I do it and it has more impact to me.
Bonus: The proceeds from the swear jar are going to buying cider =) 3 years ago
I have been practicing holding an eyebrow up with my hand, it helps – a large part of not being able to do it was lack of flexibility in my forehead muscles. I have a better idea of what to do to make it go up but still can't do it on demand, sometimes though just as I look in a mirror I do it for a split second and it's pretty awesome =).
When watching TV is a good time to hold it up in place, looks pretty funny though – also, when I try and do it I pull a strange face… 3 years ago
I got the book 10 days to faster reading (http://www.amazon.com/Days-Faster-Reading-Abby-Marks-Beale/dp/0446676675) and that has been really great to work through. My reading speed has at least doubled, but comprehension is a bit down – hopefully that comes back with practice. Two things I have noticed though: You need to keep it up, it's easy to slip back into old reading habits, you are basically retraining how you read. Also, it's helped my reading aloud, we instead of speaking the word as I read it, I now read a few words in front so know better where to put emphasis / have time to deal with unusual words. 3 years ago

I love anything from a Wraith POV. Good job.
Thank you. Humans definitely no better then us - they destroy every living thing in the worlds they inhabit. Their very lives depend on killing other beings - just like ours. Why their lives should be priced higher than lives of the trees, of bugs, or us?

Stages of Detoxification
Getting on a cleansing diet may be frustrating for most people, especially if you are not used to abstaining from eating solid foods. However, the benefits of this detoxifying process are definitely are definitely tangible after the ten day cleanse.
Most people actually stop diet after the first few days due to health issues that alarm them. However, what they don't know is that some of the uncomfortable feelings that get during the detoxification process are normal. For a better understanding of the detoxifying process, here are some of the things you might expect in the course of ten days.
Days 1 to 2
During the first two days, you could choose between laxative tea or an organic salt sea flush. If you have a pretty strong stomach then choose the salt sea flush, otherwise just take the laxative tea. During these two days, it's normal to feel hungry since you're not really consuming any solid foods. It's also normal to feel cramps in your stomach due to the laxatives you take in. Weakness is to be expected since the body is not getting the solid food it's gotten used to. Headaches, dizziness are also possible results of the cleansing diet during the first two days as well as sore throat and a feverish feeling. If these are the exact reasons why you stopped taking the cleansing diet, then don't worry. Those are only normal and should not prevent you from taking the diet all over again.
Days 3 to 7
The first thing you have to understand is that the diet cleanses the body by purging out all toxins and waste products. The colon which would have been thickened or clogged due to years of unhealthy eating would be thoroughly cleaned out. As a result, dirt in the form of mucous, pimples and boils should be expected. This is not your body rebelling against the diet, instead it your body's way of removing all the waste.
At the same time, you will start to lose fats as they are broken down to use up energy. The fact that you no longer provide your body with enough calories to keep it moving means it has to dip on to its "savings" mainly the fat. Hence, during the second stage of the detoxification, expect your body to purge out toxins; even if it does look or feel weird, it's normal.
Days 8 to 10
On the last two days, the detoxification process is on its last stage. At the same time, the boils, pimples and other unsightly detoxification effects of the diet will start to fade. You should start feeling the positive effects of the master cleanse as well as see the significant weight loss.
Don't try to lose more weight by extending your cleansing period to more than ten days. The diet has been carefully made to make sure that the body loses the toxins while keeping it at a healthy state. Hence, any additional days would have to be consulted first before proceeding.

When my husband walked through the door with this balloon inflated and surrounded by latex ballons, my 3 year old went crazy with excitement. Despite his great gifts, almost none of them received the same response! Even after lunch when his dad went back to work he kept saying "Thank you daddy for my super hero balloon!" Its a great balloon and has held the hellium well for three days so far!

CORPUS CHRISTI - The Lopez family was a no-show in Commissioners Court today.
This is the same family the county has been trying to honor for weeks.
They own and operate Majic 104.9, and were supposed to be honored for 25 years of community service in the last Commissioners Court meeting a couple weeks ago.
The decision to honor the family came weeks before a recent KRIS 6 News investigation into decades worth of unpaid property taxes.
As we reported, the county tax assessor discovered the family had 11 delinquent accounts, adding up to nearly $320,000.
Many of the accounts had been past due since the 1990's.
Since then, the family has paid over $99,000 towards the delinquent accounts, and will have 36 months to pay the remaining $219,000.
The Commissioners Court has rescheduled their planned recognition of the Lopez family for their next meeting in a couple weeks.
County Judge Lloyd Neal says he was notified yesterday that the family wouldn't be attending today, but he says he was not given a reason.

So I've been working very hard at rebuilding my credit even though I'm going through a foreclosure on my home (due to divorce). I just spoke with one of the attorneys for the bank the other day, and they are going to be able to process a Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure by the end of the year. What does this mean for my credit score? I mean I know it's going to hit it hard (just like the late payments for the mortgage have been for over a year now). I have raised my score over 100points since June, so I'm just curious. I have two more collection accounts on Experian - one of which I have arranged a PFD for. I have two showing on TransUnion - one of which I have arranged a PFD for. Equifax shows none. My plan for now had been to garden and wait for my score to improve so I could apply for a refi for my car loan - but I'm wondering should I be trying to get that through before the Deed in Lieu hits my credit?
I think it is scored on par as the foreclosure, though I bet it'll look a little bit better with that comment in the eyes of lenders.
myFICO is the consumer division of FICO. Since its introduction 20 years ago, the FICO® Score has become a global standard for measuring credit risk in the banking, mortgage, credit card, auto and retail industries. 90 of the top 100 largest U.S. financial institutions use the FICO Score to make consumer credit decisions.>> About myFICO

Height Is Key When Coupling Up, Study Finds
WEDNESDAY, Jan. 16 (HealthDay News) -- People's preferences for a partner's height appear to play a major role in selecting a mate, according to a new study.
Based on the average heights of men and women in Western nations, two of every 100 couples should include a woman who is much taller than her male partner. But the actual frequency of such couples is much lower, Gert Stulp and colleagues at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands reported online Jan. 16 in the journal PLoS One.
Previous studies have found that men generally prefer women who are shorter than they are, and women tend to prefer men who are taller, the study authors noted. However, tall men and short women seem to prefer larger height differences with their partner, while tall women and short men prefer smaller height differences.
In the previous research, these trends were analyzed only in terms of people's preferences or expectations, according to background information in a journal news release. In this new study, Stulp's team examined how these preferences actually affected their choice in partners.
The analysis of more than 10,000 couples in the United Kingdom found that these trends were evident, and that the difference in height between men and women in the couples tended to be less than 8 inches.
However, the patterns seen in these couples were not as frequent as expected based on people's preferences from previous research.
So, "while preferences for partner height generally translate into actual pairing, they do so only modestly," the study authors concluded.

total internal reflection, Zátonyi Sándor in physics, complete reflection of a ray of light within a medium such as water or glass from the surrounding surfaces back into the medium. The phenomenon occurs if the angle of incidence is greater than a certain limiting angle, called the critical angle. In general, total internal reflection takes place at the boundary between two transparent media when a ray of light in a medium of higher index of refraction approaches the other medium at an angle of incidence greater than the critical angle. For a water-air surface the critical angle is 48.5°. Because indices of refraction depend on wavelength, the critical angle (and hence the angle of total internal reflection) will vary slightly with wavelength and, therefore, with colour. At all angles less than the critical angle, both refraction and reflection occur in varying proportions.
Such atmospheric phenomena as halos and rainbows are caused by internal reflections in ice crystals and water droplets. Glass prisms can be shaped to produce total internal reflection and as such are employed in binoculars, periscopes, telescopes, and other optical instruments. Light rays may be conducted over long, twisting paths by multiple total internal reflection in glass or plastic rods or fibres. See also fibre optics.

How large is the Dance Department?
The Dance Department enrolls 80 – 90 majors each year. There are 6 core faculty and 15 – 20 adjunct faculty. The student/faculty ratio is approximately 9:1.
What is the technique curriculum at Cornish?
The core of the Cornish dance technique curriculum is daily classes in ballet and modern dance that emphasize anatomically-sound technique. All technique courses at Cornish focus on:
- Alignment and movement mechanics (pelvic and spinal placement, use of turn-out, connective patterns, overall posture)
- Stabilization (use of core support muscles, ability to maintain neutral pelvis and torso)
- Technical proficiency (knowledge of vocabulary, ability to pick up material, attention to details)
- Artistic expression (qualitative range, use of weight, musicality, emotional investment in movement)
The Cornish College Dance Department believes that today's dancer must be able to execute an eclectic range of movement styles in order to succeed in the profession, and the technique curriculum is structured accordingly. Each technique course is co-taught by two faculty; over the course of a year, students study with eight technique teachers. As a result, students gain stylistically diverse performance skills.
What technique styles are taught at Cornish?
Modern Technique
Modern technique courses at Cornish do not focus on one particular technical style, but incorporate elements of Cunningham, Limón, Horton, Bartenieff Fundamentals, and other established modern technique styles, and also draw on other movement forms, such as yoga, Pilates, martial arts, capoeria, gymnastics, contact improvisation, jazz and ballet technique. In addition, one section of the modern curriculum is devoted to the study of Graham technique. For more information on the modern technique faculty at Cornish, see the faculty biographies of Pat Hon, Wade Madsen, Michele Miller, and Deborah Wolf.
Ballet Technique
The ballet curriculum at Cornish College also exposes students to both classical and contemporary ballet styles. Classes emphasize classical placement and style, and on an anatomically-sound approach to ballet. For more information on the ballet technique faculty at Cornish, see the faculty biographies of Steve Casteel, Iyun Harrison, Pat Hon, Vivian Little, and Lodi McClellan.
Technique Electives
In addition to the daily modern and ballet classes, students may take technique elective courses which include: pointe, partnering (ballet and contemporary), men's technique, jazz, world dance, hip hop, tap, conditioning, vocal skills, martial arts, yoga, somatic techniques and more.
What is a typical daily and weekly schedule for a Dance Department student?
As a Cornish College dance major, you will spend a minimum of 16 hours per week in active dance technique classes. In combination with other Dance Department classes and rehearsals, most students spend between 25 and 30 hours per week dancing.
Most Dance Department classes occur during daytime hours, 8 am – 4 pm, Monday through Friday. College electives in other departments and Humanities and Sciences classes are held in the early morning (8 – 9 am), late afternoon, and evening. You can expect to spend about 30 hours a week in class time, with about 5 – 10 hours per week of homework and/or outside assignments.
In addition, many students find it necessary to work at a paid job during their time at Cornish. We have found that the maximum time that students can work and still succeed in their studies is around 20 hours per week. If you can afford to work fewer hours or not at all, we strongly recommend it.
What are the opportunities to perform and choreograph in Dance at Cornish College?
The Cornish College Dance Department considers the opportunity to perform on stage and to choreograph work for performance to be integral components in the dance students' education. We present four fully produced concerts each year, in addition to an informal student-produced concert.
Three of the five concerts are dedicated to student choreography. First year students have several opportunities to perform and choreograph. The following is a summary of performance opportunities at Cornish.
Cornish Dance Theater
Cornish Dance Theater is a fully produced concert at Broadway Performance Hall occurring each semester with choreography by faculty members and visiting professional choreographers. Participants are selected each semester by audition. Choreographers are advised to select a cast that will best fulfill their artistic vision. The curricular purpose of Cornish Dance Theater is to provide a professional caliber performing experience that reflects the highest level of competence developed within the studio classes.
All students are eligible and encouraged to audition. However, most freshmen are unable to perform in CDT due to conflicts between required first year courses and the CDT rehearsals. All sophomores perform in a "Sophomore Dance" during the fall of thier second year.
Standards for participation in Cornish Dance Theater are intended to reflect professional expectations. In most cases, students prepare to participate in Cornish Dance Theater by performing in the student choreography for New Moves and the BFA Concerts.
New Moves
New Moves is a fully produced concert showcasing student choreography. All students are eligible and encouraged to participate as performers and/or choreographers; in order to ensure sufficient choreographic opportunities for underclass students, the faculty restrict the number of works by seniors on this concert. Students indicate their interest in performing by attending student choreographer auditions and through informal student contact. A faculty committee selects the works to be performed on the New Moves concert through a critique and audition process. Any piece not selected for the concert may be shown in Terpsichore's Landing, an informal student-produced concert. The purpose of the New Moves Concert is to provide performance and choreographic opportunities for the Dance Department students.
Senior Project Concerts
Senior Project Concerts showcase the culminating choreography and performance of department seniors in fully-produced concerts at Broadway Performance Hall. Students indicate their interest in performing in senior choreography by attending senior choreographer auditions and through informal student contact.
Studio Concerts
Studio Concerts are produced by students in the department studios and campus theaters with minimal lighting. Usually there is a concert of student choreography produced during the spring semester (Terpsichore's Landing). However, there can be as many studio concerts as you have the drive and energy to make happen!
Interdepartmental Collaborations
Interdepartmental performance opportunities include faculty collaborations with faculty from other departments and guest artist workshop performances, as well as student collaborative projects. Frequently there are interdepartmental collaborations as well, such as a musical and opera productions. Information about audition and rehearsal processes is posted in the department as it becomes available.
What career preparation does the Cornish Dance Department provide?
A BFA in Dance from Cornish prepares students for careers as performers, choreographers and teachers in the dance field. Many alumni create interdisciplinary careers, combining work as dancers with related work in the field such as performance production for dance (lighting design, costuming, stage management), dance photography and film, dance writing and criticism, arts administration, teaching somatic and conditioning techniques, acting, as well as many other types of work. A Pilates Matwork Teaching Certificate Program prepares students to teach Pilates mat classes at studios and gyms. Students may also complete the initial stages of the Gyrotonic Trainer preparation while at Cornish.
As performers, Cornish Dance alumni have worked with many of the most well-known dance companies in the United States, including: the Merce Cunningham Dance Company, Trisha Brown Dance Company, Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company, Mark Morris Dance Group, Shen Wei Dance Arts, Isadora Duncan Dance Company, American Ballet Theater, Ballet Hispanico, Milwaukee Ballet II, Ballet Nouveau, Malashock Dance, Peter Pucci and Dancers, Zoe Scofield, Lineage Dance Company, Silver Brown Dance Company, Scott/Powell Performance Group, Spectrum Dance Theater, Lingo Dance Company, and the Pat Graney Dance Company.
Locally, Cornish alumni are members of nearly every Seattle dance company, performing widely at all locations throughout the Pacific Northwest region. Cornish College dance alumni are also well-known for creating their own professional opportunities by starting their own companies, dance schools, and producing organizations.
Can I double major or minor in another artistic discipline at Cornish?
No, the curriculum and degree requirements of each of the artistic areas at Cornish are so demanding that you can complete only one degree at a time. However, you can pursue other artistic interests and fulfill your College Electives requirements by taking courses in the other Cornish departments.
How do I apply to the Cornish Dance program?
To apply for admission to the Cornish Dance program, contact the Office of Admission. Their website will provide you with up to date admission information, including application materials, audition dates, and deadlines.
All students must audition as part of the application process. We strongly encourage students to attend an in-person audition whenever possible. Auditions are conducted on campus, and at off campus locations throughout the country. Scholarships are awarded on the basis of audition performance.
What should I expect at a dance audition?
The Audition
Auditioning students participate in both a ballet and a modern technique class, and are observed and evaluated by a member of the Dance Faculty on the basis of previous technical training, body alignment, movement mechanics, expressivity, openness to feedback and individual artistic potential.
You should wear clothes that present a clean, simple line so that the faculty can see your body alignment clearly. For ballet class, you should wear a form fitting leotard, tights and soft ballet shoes (no pointe). You must be able to dance barefooted during the modern class. The modern class will include improvisation.
Auditioning by Video
The Dance Faculty strongly encourages you to make every effort to audition in person. You may either audition on campus during a scheduled appointment or at any of our off-campus audition opportunities. However, if distance prevents you from auditioning in person, you may send us your audition on DVD (American format).
Please note, you will be placed in technique levels for your first semester on the basis of this audition tape. Your audition tape should be 10 – 20 minutes in length. Please use the following guidelines to compile your tape:
- If possible, you should be videotaped in your current dance class. The recorded image should show your entire body. The material you record should demonstrate your technical level and ability in ballet and modern dance.
- The ballet portion should be 5 – 10 minutes in length. Please perform several barre exercises (plies, tendus, ronds de jambs, développés, grand battements) and center floor combinations including adagio, pirouette, petit allegro and grand allegro. If possible, the camera should be focused on the side of your body during the barre in order to record alignment.
- The modern portion should be 5-10 minutes in length. Perform typical modern warm-up exercises demonstrating use of the spine; at least some of these exercises should be performed in a standing position. The tape should also include center and across the floor combinations that demonstrate level changes and use of floor space.
- If you have choreographic experience you are invited to include samples of your choreography in addition to the ballet and modern exercises.
Two letters of recommendation are required if you choose to audition by videotape, one of which must be from a current dance instructor. These letters should accompany your videotape (sealed in envelopes and signed on the outside by the person who wrote the recommendation), or your references may send the letter directly to the Admissions Office if they prefer.
Audition Preparation
You should be in good physical condition for dance at the time of your audition. This means that you should be taking regular ballet and modern dance classes previous to your audition date (we recommend at least one ballet and/or modern class daily).
The audition includes a total of 2 – 4 hours of dancing; be prepared to dance for this amount of time without becoming overly fatigued.
You must have previous training in ballet and/or modern technique in order to be admitted to the Cornish College Dance Department. The amount of training you should have and exact type of training varies greatly by individual talent and drive, and quality of previous training. If you have limited training in either ballet or modern technique, we advise that you make a commitment to taking classes in this technique regularly before you audition.
Does Cornish offer classes for children and teenagers?
Yes, the Preparatory Dance Program is designed to give students ages 4 – 18 a high quality dance education, based in a strong foundation of ballet technique. For information about class schedules, enrollment, class descriptions, class levels and rates, please visit Preparatory Dance. For summer children's classes, visit Summer at Cornish.
Does Cornish offer dance classes for non-degree seeking adults?
Cornish offers a limited number of dance classes that are open to non-degree seeking adults. These classes are generally limited to two courses per semester and are offered on weekday evenings.
In the past, course offerings have included ballet, modern, tap, jazz, hip-hop and African dance. These courses are designed for non-dance majors at Cornish College and are at a beginning level. They are open to non-degree seeking students on a space-available basis.
For more information about class schedule, enrollment, class descriptions and rates, contact Registration and Records. In addition, Summer at Cornish is open to youth and adults from the community. For more information, visit Summer at Cornish.

Give the perfect gift this season - gift cards! Starting at just $25!
We bet at this point you're thinking that this is just another boring corporate blog. Not quite! Unlike some other companies who only blog about themselves, we aim to make it fun. Yes, we'll write about ourselves sometimes (we have a little bit of an ego), but the primary focus here is not ticketing. Instead, our aim is to scout and pick out the best (and worst) of pop culture, live entertainment, and everything that surrounds those things. Expect posts on concerts, theater and sports, but also food, travel, and whatever else we can think of!
Tim is the resident sports dude at TicketNetwork. He tends to retain pretty much all the most random sports and pop culture knowledge, but will easily forget what he had for lunch. Born and raised in Connecticut, he has a love for New England sports teams including the Boston Red Sox, Boston Celtics, New England Patriots and everything UConn, the school he graduated from in 2006. He also enjoys quiet nights at home with his wife and dog watching shows like 30 Rock and Modern Family.
Crystal is a content developer at TicketNetwork. She's a pop culture and social media junkie, and has a tendency to care a little too much about things like Beyonce's baby. Her favorite things to do include writing, reading, watching TV, attending theater events, and trying to get Mindy Kaling to acknowledge her existence on Twitter. (Just kidding. Not really.) Most nights, she can be found snuggled up on her couch with her boyfriend and her dog, Obi.
Mike is a content developer at TicketNetwork, where he focuses on concerts. While he likes to write, his lot in life is video production, and he also handles all the video work for the company. When he's not writing or producing videos, Michael is following up on politics, reading, and traveling around the world (or attempting to). His favorite trip was a nine-day trek around Greece during college, and he hopes to make another visit to Europe within the next few years.

Columbia Seeks Demo Permit at Future Campus Site [Updated]
Columbia University is seeking a demolition permit for a building that is situated within the parameters of the school's $6.4 billion future Manhattanville campus.
Yesterday, the school filed an application for a permit to demolish a one-story building at 3205 Broadway, near 125th Street, according to Department of Buildings records. The site will become a 60,0000-square-foot academic conference center, "which will be a hub for fostering collaboration across Columbia's campuses and feature a 400-seat auditorium and state-of-the-art seminar and meeting rooms," a school spokesman said.

March 11, the Breech Student Advisory Board hosted John Beuerlein, General Partner at Edward Jones in St. Louis, Mo., Drury class of 1975, and Emeritus Trustee of Drury's Board of Trustees. Before Beuerlein spoke in the Lay Hall Auditorium about corporate culture and innovation at Edward Jones, he sat down with SAB members to talk about his career, reminisce about his days at Drury and even share advice with graduating seniors starting their careers.
What was your first job out of college? How did you land it?
1975 was a terrible job market so I took the coward's way out and I went on to graduate school (MBA) at Washington University in St. Louis. In between my first and second year there I started interning at Edward Jones in the Equity Research department. I had one interview, it worked out and I've been there for 36 years. I also married my wife, Crystal, (Drury class of '75) that same year and I've spent the last 36 years trying not to give either one of them a reason to get rid of me. So far so good!
What advice would you give to graduating seniors starting their careers?
They might be persuaded to settle for the highest salary, but I would encourage seniors to hitch their wagon to a growth-oriented company. If you have a high salary at a company that is not growth-oriented, your career may not go anywhere. I have had eight different positions at Edward Jones and that is because of the company's growth. Guess what? The learning doesn't stop after college. It's important to remember that.
What does your job consist of as a general partner at Edward Jones?
I lead the Product Review division and I am responsible directly to our Managing Partner. The division is responsible for quality control and works out the mechanics around new investment products. In addition, we monitor roughly $670 billion worth of assets held in the hands of Edward Jones clients. If we see any cracks in the financial armor of those issuers it's our job to wave the warning flags and offer guidance to our clients on how to manage any problems.
What is your fondest memory from Drury?
Kissing my girlfriend for the first time on the steps of Smith Hall…I can say that because she is now my wife.
What was the motivation behind funding the Edward Jones Minority Scholarship at Drury?
A: It was purely selfish. It was an investment that was good for the school, with an aim to increase diversity. In addition, I was hoping that some of those students would come to Edward Jones after they graduated and help make our firm a better place.
How has a liberal arts education helped in an analytical career?
The nature of the role I perform is not analytical in its totality. Understanding human behavior is important. While at Drury, I took psychology and political science classes and that helped me to learn the fundamentals of interpersonal relationships. The course work in economics has helped me to understand the markets each and every day for the last 36 years.
What would you like to see out of students, in general?
Students come away from school with a lot of debt and they are trying to pay off that debt while earning as much money possible. You can become overly focused on those obligations. I hope that doesn't blind them from the need to give back and contribute to society.
Too many people settle for financial success when there is much more out there. It is important to lead a life of significance which comes from helping others. That is one thing I really love about Edward Jones. Financial Advisors help people achieve their life's most important emotional drivers such as planning for education or retirement, taking care of their parents, leaving a financial legacy; all of these things are noble causes. Financial Advisors help people be successful, and when they are good at their job, they achieve personal significance in their lives too.
What does Drury need to do in order to stay on top of higher education?
It needs to invest in excellent professors and strong core curriculum; that is a critical competency. The expectations for students needs to be set high and those expectations must be maintained.
What do you love about Drury?
I love that it provides for a liberal pursuit of the truth. Drury is a place where all kinds of ideas can come together in a penalty free environment to be explored by people of diverse cultures, leading to a rich discussion of the truth.
Written by Amber Perdue, senior Public Relations and Advertising major

Poll: Students reveal the best music to study to
If you crank up the tunes when doing your homework, you aren't alone. A recent informal poll on the University of Phoenix Facebook® page shows that aficionados of listening to music while studying outweigh those seeking silence by a 10-to-1 ratio.
The results are not surprising, says Chris Brewer, MA, who wrote "Soundtracks for Learning: Using Music in the Classroom" and is a music consultant to educators. "Music can be helpful because it can ... moderate our mental and physical state," Brewer points out. "If you're tired, you might try something energizing and upbeat, like drumming. Or when you're having a hard time focusing, you might try listening to something more calming." If you do enjoy playing music while studying, however, Brewer recommends against compositions with lyrics because the words can be distracting.
Ryan Kuck, an online instructor for the University's College of Humanities and Sciences, as well as a professional bass player who holds a Master of Music degree, agrees, adding, "My advice to students is to experiment with music and see what results you get. If one type of music works for you, then roll with it."
Check out what University students prefer to listen to when they study:

Additionally, Morris has scored a feature-film gig in the dark comedy The Sophomore, playing a stoner school nurse. Bruce Willis stars.

For a cop show, CBS' Cold Case isn't big on shoot-'em-ups. Maybe it's because the drama's Philadelphia detectives usually sift through evidence from long ago. The team recently closed the books on the murder of a 1919 suffragette. Let's just say they didn't have to call in a SWAT team to solve that one.
But Lilly Rush and Co. will end their fourth season (this Sunday at 9 pm/ET) with a bang. Two bangs, actually. "Our detectives are getting shot," reveals executive producer Veena Sud. "I can't say who. They're all in jeopardy. It's very big."
Almost unprecedented. Beyond the show's trademark flashbacks, George — the serial-killer tormentor of Rush (Kathryn Morris) — is the only character to have taken a bullet in nearly 100 episodes. Det. Kat Miller (

These four simple exercises incorporate stretches and movements from yoga. For best results, do them every day for 10 to 15 minutes, starting after your first postnatal medical checkup. (Be sure your healthcare provider approves.) They are designed to improve your muscle tone, make you aware of good posture and increase the gracefulness of your walk. They will also strengthen your back and abdominal muscles so you can easily handle the increasing weight of your new baby. If you find it difficult to do all the exercises at one time, try fitting in two exercise periods of roughly five minutes each.
Supple Spine
Begin on all fours. Inhale. Lift your head, keeping your back straight or arching slightly (avoid strain). Then exhale, round your back, tighten abdominals, tuck in tail and head. Repeat the sequence eight times. This exercise strengthens the back and abdominals.
Tighter Abdominals
Lie on your back in a straight line. Then exhale, lowering the back, vertebra by vertebra. Repeat sequence five times. This exercise helps develop a strong back and abdominals.
Stronger Back
Sit upright, knees bent, feet flat on the floor, back straight, arms forward at shoulder level. Inhale, then exhale and lean back halfway. Inhale again and sit up slowly. Repeat five times. This exercise strengthens the back and abdominals.
Flexible Body
Stand upright with arms raised, elbows slightly relaxed. Inhale, then exhale and bend forward, keeping back straight and swinging arms down and back. Then relax your head and stretch your arms up behind you. Inhale as you swing arms and body up again, returning to your original position. Repeat eight times. Go carefully and do not strain. This exercise is good for thighs, hips, back, arms, shoulders and neck.

I can't remember but he tried scanning me before offering me a demonstration. Told him I wasn't interested and left, no harm done.
Hi Captaincharisma, do you remember who it was because the scanners were only supposed to be used after a demostration and interest? I made it very clear and as far as I saw, it never happened, it was also far too busy for us to waste time doing that. Thanks.
I can't remember but he tried scanning me before offering me a demonstration. Told him I wasn't interested and left, no harm done.
One email so far from Firefly but I was expecting that anyway.
I just set up email@example.com and use a fake name, over the last few years i've been fidel castro, che guevara, Dr Gregory House.
Yep I prefer too avoid zapping and get the sales team to write out info - but only if there is a prize attached !
In more on-topic news, had two calls today where the lead generators had clearly ignored what I had expressed interest in and just forged ahead selling the latest shiny-shiny. As for drive-by scanning, I kept my badge in my shirt pocket, stops that nonsense dead!
email@example.com or email@example.com
Moved to BETT forum
I've had an email thanking me for visiting someone's stand at BETT, yet I remained 300 odd miles away the whole week!
Absolutely nothing!
I had my Phil J Fry of Future Drama school badge but people just scanned it without reading any of my information so wonder how long it will take for them to realise.
I didn't see any zapping this year I have to be honest.
I sent all my spam out this morning, but this was mostly to suppliers

Sharing and communication through the ages
We're a communications consultancy, so we obviously love and have a keen interest in communications, regardless of the nature or source (well, most of the time). We're loving this 'Sharing & communication through the ages' infographic from 30,000 BC to the present day from print company Moo.
Moo's infographic is really pretty, informative and fun with a tonne of Moo design slickness about it. I like some of what I'm seeing from the people at Moo in the digital marketing and social world, they're being equally creative with the partnerships that they're striking up out there in an extremely competitive space.
Moo obviously couldn't cover everything in its infographic, but if an off world visitor was to check out their infographic, it's a good representation on how communications have transpired over the years for people thus far. The tidy data visualization reviews cave paintings, the post service, the telephone, wireless (radio for the younger folk) the internet, AIM (internet messenger), blogging through to major players putting it down now; including Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.
The question is, after ending with Twitter in 2006, what's next? Are we due another major social media player any time soon?

Frid'Eh Update #52 Presented by Orange Motorsports
By Kyle Carruthers and Billy Rainford
Hey everyone and welcome to the final DMX Frid'Eh Update of 2012. I hope everyone had a great Christmas with their families and friends. It's been a whirlwind year here at DMX and for the Canadian motocross industry and like everyone we are anxious to get the 2013 season started. It all kicks off next weekend in Angel Stadium for Anaheim 1 as the best of the best line up to kick off the 2013 Monster Energy Supercross Championship. Although that will be what keeps most of our Canadian eyes to the TV, it won't be long till the snow starts to melt and many of us can gear up for our outdoor season as amateurs and the gate drops for the 2013 CMRC National series. We haven't gotten a schedule yet, a PR announcing title sponsorship or other things, but we are sure there is going to be a series, right guys?
This week's update goes out to Dakota Kessler who earned national #52 for 2012. I don't know Dakota personally so Dakota if you're reading this shoot us an email so we can catch up with you. Next week when the New Year starts we will go back to dedicating it to rider #1 who in this case will be Matt Goerke who at the moment is gearing up for A1 on his Butler Brothers BTO Sports KTM 450. This is also about the same time we get a bunch of hate mail from disappointed riders who are higher than #52 and don't make it. We are sorry we can't get to everyone but here are some riders who just missed making the #52 mark in 2012 who we thought we could give an honorary mention to:
Jarred Williams
Milke Stryker
Trevor Mort
Michael Bugg
Like I said, 2012 was an awesome year and here are some of the top things that stand out in my mind in no particular order.
1. The hype around the 2012 KTM Royal Distributing Red Bull Fox Racing team – It was still 2011 when KTM already had three of Canada's top riders signed in Colton Facciotti, Dusty Klatt and Jeremy Medaglia and added two of the biggest sponsors in the industry with Red Bull and Fox Racing alongside the Royal Distributing sponsorship. Although the team didn't have the championship season they hoped for, they still did an awesome job marketing themselves, creating an image and hype leading up to it. It was the first time in a long time that we actually got a real press conference that took place at the Red Bull head office in Toronto. Even if they didn't win a title, they still created the most attention week in and week out during the off season and the nationals.
Klatt came through for KTM earning #3 for 2013.

2. The Parts Canada Walton TransCan – The week-long event at Walton was fantastic. The crew put on a top notch event, which came with an updated facility, great track conditions, great racing and great entertainment including country singer Jason Blaine. It was one of those weeks that reminded us why we do what we do -- because we all love it as racers and fans.
Jason Blaine rocked the crowd. You can see his music video filmed at the event here.

3. Westen Wrozyna goes to Monster Cup – It isn't every day we get a chance to see a Canadian compete at a Supercross event even as an amateur. After an amazing showing at Loretta Lynns Westen Wrozyna got the invite from Feld to go and compete and he waved the Canadian flagged proudly as he went onto an 8th in the second moto. The Wrozyna's were kind enough to take Billy along to document the journey and he had a blast doing it. It was great to see a Canadian and a family friend experience this as a youngster.

4. The MMRS National in Madoc Ontario – The MMRS National is a new event and every year it gets better. It is a big money race with over $20,000 up for grabs between amateurs and pros. I got the chance to MC the event and had a great time doing it and meeting some awesome people. The track was prepped to perfection and this event will no doubt be growing for 2013.
The MMRS National will return for 2013.

5. The mud at Nanaimo – Round one always sticks out in everyone's minds and I am sure the down pour and storm that hit Nanaimo all weekend made it even more memorable. It wasn't the muddiest race we have ever seen, but it was bad enough for 90% of us to wreck a new set of shoes and for most of the racers to do some damage and havoc on their fresh new race bikes. It's all part of the sport!
There's never a happy medium in Nanaimo -- it's either perfect or a quagmire. You can see which it was in 2012.

KTM Eastern Sales Manager Patrick Beaule is competiting in the Dakar Rally race again. He has done a great job setting up his program with great sponosrs as he looks to be the first Canadian to compete in the event on both 4 and 2 wheels. He will be riding his KTM Adventure bike and here is a cool video we spotted on his preparation. He is looking for support, so if you're interested in helping a great guy who supports and works within our motocross industry, he is your man. Good luck in your training, Patrick, and we look forward to following your success.
Ok now over to Billy, who should have something a little more interesting...
Thanks, Kyle. Like you said, I really should have something more interesting but with it being the week between Christmas and New Year's, my mind actually wandered from motocross for a few days. I know, it's crazy! By the way, is there a special, shorter name for this week?
I'll start off with a few awesome news bits: Teddy Maier and Aaron Barsanti are now a fathers and Jay and Meg are now 'The Burkes.' Congratulations, everyone, you're all grows up!!
We all knew Jay had to lock down such an amazing woman before she smartened up!
The happy couple: Meg and Jason Burke.

Aside from those three great things, I don't really know about too much else going on except the odd person heading south to ride or people getting ready for A1. Actually, there is really cool news about that. Our own Scott 'Donk' Donkersgoed has found himself a spot turning T-wrenches for #11 Kyle Chisholm. Congratulations, Donk. See you soon. Also, he will be under the Red Bull Royal Distributing Fox KTM tent this summer working with none other than Colton Facciotti. Watch for an interview with the gregarious mechanic very soon here on DMX.
Let's see what Joey Leadbeater has been up to lately...
Bigwave photo
Since there wasn't a ton of local riding going on, I thought I'd dig into my photo reserves to see what I could come up with. I feel we need to keep in touch with those who have graced our tracks in the past and I want to make a point of keeping tabs on some of our favourite riders from days gone by. As I was wandering I came across this photo of Joey Leadbeater from the 2007 Walton National. I got to know Joey a little while he was up here and always found him to be a polite and friendly guy. I got in touch with him to see what he's been up to since he last raced up here in Canada. Here's what he had to say:
In 2007 I finished out my amateur season at Loretta's with a 5th overall in the 250B class and the plan was to step into Canada after that and get my feet wet for a little while. I showed up in Walton with no expectations -- just looking to get my name on the radar and to get a feel for what it was all about. The vibe was great!!! Everyone was super nice and very inviting. I felt right at home!! The tracks in Canada were great -- high speed, rough and huge floater jumps! What could be better?! Did I mention the fans were awesome!! I quickly found a home for 2008 with Battleford Supercycles (OTSFF support team) and finished out my Canadian adventure with Murphy Motorsports.
Somewhere along the way my head and vision became clouded and I forgot what I loved about motocross and found myself lost and confused. I took some time to regroup and I guess I never bounced back, so I rebuilt my social life with friends and family and started my own landscaping company called Sunscapes Landscaping (www.sunscapesohio.com).
Joey keeps himself busy with his own landscaping business these days.

I haven't touched a bike sinse and my national number 29 bike still sits at my house collecting dust to remeind me of all the great memories I have from Canada and all the great people I met and became friends with along the way. I still have future plans of going back to Canada someday to do some racing but until the day happens I recently purchased a 2013 Ford Shelby GT500 to take out some of my rage!! :p It still doesn't come close to the feeling of being on a bike though.
Don't worry about Joey. The landscaping business has been a rewarding experience!
Photo courtesy of Joey Leadbeater
Yep, that was a heck of a big job!
I drove Carmen the Buick Electra to my parents' place and then hopped in their less-boatish vehicle and made the trip north. On my way home today, I was reminded of why driving the big boat is so much fun. 1) It's easily the most comfortable car I've ever driven long-distance 2) It puts a smile on just about everyone that passes it, and 3) I have yet to drive somewhere without having someone pull up beside me to wave and say hello. Today it was Randy Hall and his wife who locked up the brakes, rolled down their window and said hello. It was great to see you, Randy. Sure, it's absolutely horrendous on gas but the positives easily out-weigh that one negative.
We're only 3 days away from the New Year and only one week away from A1. I hope everyone had a great 2013, has an even better 2013, and let's all hope this upcoming supercross season lives up to its potential. Have a great weekend and a safe celebration. See you at the races...

A few months
ago, I first wrote about the TSA's naked body scanners and how it
could allow Big Brother to view and store pictures of your naked
body (plus the naked bodies of your children, too). At that time,
my story was met with a reaction of derision from a few people outside
the usual NaturalNews readership who said my story was nothing but
"paranoia" and that the government had promised it would
never record or store full body
scan images. The very equipment used to view the body scans was
incapable of storing those images, we were told. (These loons apparently
think governments never lie…)
Well, as much
as I hate to say, "I told ya so," it turns out I was right
(and so was Alex Jones and others who spoke out against the TSA's
naked body scanners). As reported
today by Declan McCullagh from CNET, "The U.S. Marshals
Service admitted this week that it had surreptitiously saved tens
of thousands of images recorded with a millimeter wave system at
the security checkpoint of a single Florida courthouse."
That same story
points to a recently released
document proving that the TSA
actually requires its equipment to be able to record and store naked
body images. This, despite the fact that the TSA publicly stated,
"scanned images cannot be stored or recorded." It turns
out they were flat-out lying.
So now we have
an admission by the TSA that their equipment is, in fact, capable
of storing these naked body images. On top of that, we have an admission
that federal agents used that same technology to scan tens of thousands
of people while secretly saving those images, too.
More naked
body scanners coming to U.S. airports
Just two weeks
ago, by the way, Big Sis Janet Napolitano announced that these full
body scanners would be installed in nearly every major U.S. airport.
So get ready have your private parts scanned and recorded by TSA
agents, because that's what could be coming soon to an airport near
Another fascinating
twist in this story concerns the current location of the more than
35,000 naked body scan images stored on the machine used at a federal
courthouse. The machine was apparently returned to the manufacturer.
This means the company that makes the full body scanners now reportedly
possesses 35,000+ pictures showing the nude bodies of American citizens
whose images were scanned and recorded without their knowledge!
"TSA is
not being straightforward with the public about the capabilities
of these devices," said Electronic Privacy Information Center
executive director Marc Rotenberg (in the CNET story). "This
is the Department of Homeland Security subjecting every U.S. traveler
to an intrusive search that can be recorded without any suspicion
– I think it's outrageous."
security with privacy
Now, certainly
we probably need some level of security in our airports. I'm not
disagreeing with that premise. There are some bad people in the
world who will try to do ugly things in order to prove a point.
But magnetometers (metal detector) work just fine, and even a pat-down
is less intrusive than a naked image body scanner. Personally, I
would much rather submit to a pat-down than a naked body scan.
The more important
issue here is that our own government has been lying to us about
all this. They said these machines could not record images, and
now we find out they could record all along. This worsens the privacy
violations by adding a level of deceit. Now how can we trust that
other full body scanners aren't also recording images?
The truth is,
we can't.
And besides,
as I suggested before, there's one really good way to make sure
we're safe in the air. I call it "Armed Airlines." We
should have the choice of an airline where everybody is armed. You
have to pack a firearm and a concealed carry license (or a police
badge or military ID) just to board the plane. No terrorist or troublemaker
in his right mind would dare pull anything on that flight – not
with 250 other passengers armed, too.
I would gladly
join that flight, and I'd sleep like a baby. Why? Because it would
be the safest airplane in the sky. I also know quite a few airline
pilots who would gladly pilot those flights, and they'd have their
own firearms on the flight control deck, too.
Because right
now, what we really have is a nation of disarmed airlines where
nobody can carry firearms except Federal Air Marshals. They're good
guys, but there just aren't enough of them to go around. I'd like
to see "Armed Airlines" flying. And besides, Armed Airlines
would be the only flights guaranteed not to have screaming babies
sitting right behind you.

Watch this: Fukushima engineers perform risky extraction of nuclear fuel rods
A job at the devastated Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant is notoriously dangerous: in the aftermath of a massive 2011 earthquake and tsunami, reports have emerged of low wages, steep risks, and shoddy management throwing the plant cleanup process into disarray and exacerbating onsite hazards. Now, some employees at Fukushima are encountering yet another precarious scenario, as they begin the gargantuan task of removing radioactive fuel rods from a cooling pool inside one of the plant's reactors.

Japan to remove nuclear fuel from Fukushima plant
The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant's operator has gained permission to move forward with a plan that would transfer over 1,000 fuel rods to a new location on the site, potentially preventing massive radiation leaks in the future, reports The Wall Street Journal. Around 1,300 spent fuel rods and 200 new fuel rods have been sitting in a pool inside one of the plant's reactors, Unit 4, since it was damaged in March 2011. The four-meter-long rods (around 13 feet) will be pulled out of the plant one at a time by a crane that still needs to be constructed.

SnapEDA Wants To Help Fuel Hardware Startups With A Github-Like Community For CAD
There's a growing number of startups out there that are focusing on building new hardware, and that's an immensely different problem compared to building a software business, in terms of sourcing resources to use to build the products involved, sourcing talent and solving problems. That's why Natasha Baker founded SnapEDA, a website and community dedicated to helping hardware engineers connect, and helping businesses connecting with them.
Baker was at Disrupt's Startup Alley this year, showing off her platform, which she says is essentially a Github for hardware. It's a community based around sharing CAD design for components in circuit boards and electronics, including tools that allow schematics to be downloaded in a variety of formats compatible with all leading CAD programs, and community validation tools that allow users to flag problems with schematics or to verify that they work correctly.
"What we're trying to do is show people everything they need to know, so data sheet specs, pricing, and availability," Baker said in an interview, discussing the parts pages aspect of the site. "But our main value add, the thing that hasn't really been done before is offering CAD files that are convertible to every format."
Aside from providing crowd-sourced, multi-format exportable design files for chips, SnapEDA also aspires to be a true community for builders and electronics engineers. Part of that is allowing people to vouch for designs and components, but another part is allowing them to build personal profiles on SnapEDA, which lists their community contributions, as well as tags that describe their expertise. The long-term vision is to use those to help connect them with companies who need to find specific talent. Baker says that it's a big challenge for companies to find the right people to help them design and build hardware, so there's a big opportunity in becoming a specialist network for that.
"A lot of the startups don't know where to find designers," she said. "Or they have designers, but they don't know where to find the layout engineers [those who actually plot out the circuit board layout]. So our goal is to connect people who are specialized in different areas of electronic design. Electronic design is so niche, but there's so many specialities even within electronic design."
Someone needs to provide a central resource not only for connecting these individuals but also for keeping track of what hardware engineers are doing, and which ones are actually qualified to fill the needs of emerging hardware startups.
"We try to aggregate all the actions that people have taken on the site," she said. "Because just the way that Github has made it so that people look at your online profile before they hire you as a software engineer, we think the same thing is going to happen for hardware."
SnapEDA also has a manufacturing platform, where they produce their own boards for customers. They have both low-cost options sourced from China, as well as manufacturing partners based in Portland or Toronto for customers who would rather source things domestically.
Startups supporting hardware startups are becoming more numerous as the opportunity expands, with others like Upverter trying to capitalize on this growing movement. SnapEDA has a good model to follow in Github, but we'll have to wait and see if hardware has matured enough as a startup category to fuel a big need for this kind of product and community. So far, the company is bootstrapped, but Baker says they'll start looking for funding pretty soon.

Withings Raises $30 Million From Bpifrance And Others To Fuel International Growth
Health gadget company Withings will announce in a few minutes a new funding round from Bpifrance, Idinvest Partners, 360 Capital Partners and existing investor Ventech. Out of the $ 30 million, $ 15 million comes from Bpifrance, the newly created public entity — BPI means Public Investment Bank in French. It is one of its first traditional VC deal.
Withings is perhaps best known for its series of smart scales and body analyzers (along with curious one-off devices like a baby monitor), but the company has recently decided to take a stab at creating yet another sort of fitness gadget: a wearable activity tracker. Calling that particular market crowded is putting it awfully mildly. Devices from the likes of Nike, Jawbone, and Fitbit have put an approachable face on the quantified self movement and have garnered plenty of attention from press and health-conscious consumers.
That's not to say that Withings' own fitness tracker, the Pulse, is entering the fight unarmed — it's capable of measuring its user's heart rate with a single touch in addition to tracking steps taken and hours slept. The Pulse's big value though is that it provides even more data for existing Withings device owners to tap into, which helps users piece together a more fully-realized image of their health. That street runs both ways too — the $ 99 Pulse may wind up acting as a sort of Trojan Horse to introduce its users to the rest of Withings' health-centric gadgets.
While Withings prepares to face off against some highly popular rivals, it plans to use that fresh infusion of capital to strengthen its foundation. In addition to expanding to new markets, and fleshing out its R&D efforts with new hires, Withings hopes to improve its retail distribution deals to more prominently show off its health-conscious wares to consumers. The Paris-based company was founded in 2008 and previously raised $ 3.85 million (€3 million) in 2010.
When it comes to the investment, the most surprising part is that Bpifrance is leading the round. Bpifrance is the new venture with teams from OSEO, CDC Entreprises, and the FSI (France's sovereign wealth fund). In its past iterations, it has invested in France's biggest startups, such as Dailymotion, or even well-established companies, such as Orange.
Many startup enthusiasts thought that the public institutions weren't supporting France's startup economy by putting money into those companies. Dailymotion was already a "success" when the FSI invested. Withings may indicate a new trend at Bpifrance. The institution could make many smaller and riskier deals to support startups at an early stage.

The Pint-Sized 'Fuel' Phone Charger Is As Useful As It Is Adorable
Most of us have faced that sense of dread that comes when our phones lay drained and dysfunctional right when we need them the most. Sure, we could beat ourselves up for not charging them as long as we should have (or perhaps making a bad choice of phones), but that's where this particularly cute Kickstarter project comes into play. Devotec's Fuel micro charger is a terribly tiny rechargeable external battery for when a smartphone's charge goes south at an inopportune moment.
How small is it? Think "clip it to your keychain small." And it's shaped like a little gas can! How quaint.
As you could probably guess from its size, there's only so much juice you'll be able to squeeze out of this thing. The Fuel's internal battery is only capable of holding about 500mAh worth of charge, which Devotec figures will give your smartphone up to a half hour of extra talk time — more than enough to fire off a few frenzied emails or to make a brief emergency call or two. I've come to appreciate bulkier fare like Mophie's PowerStation Duo, but folks looking for a pint-sized lifesaver that won't weigh down their bags will find something to like here.
For this first production run, Devotec is focusing mostly on churning out Fuel chargers with microUSB connectors, but the team is also plugging away on Lightning versions for the iPhone 5s in your life. There's still no ETA on when to expect them though, so iPhone 5 owners may want to look elsewhere for now — after all, the first-party microUSB-to-Lightning adapter costs nearly as much as the Fuel itself.
Devotec's Kickstarter campaign launched less than a week ago and the team has already blown past its $ 20,000 funding goal, but you can still lock in your order for a microUSB model for around $ 18 at this point. The final retail version will cost $ 25, so the cheapskates among you may want to jump on this now (like I just did).

Honda's new smartphone app can reduce traffic jams and improve fuel efficiency
Taking its traffic-management technology to Indonesia, Japanese car-maker Honda has successfully road-tested a new smartphone app that on average was able to delay the formation of traffic jams by as much as six minutes and improve fuel-efficiency by as much as 22 percent. Tech-On reports that Honda worked with researchers at the University of Tokyo to deploy a new smartphone app in vehicles between September 2012 to February 2013 on a toll road in Jakarta, which monitored the acceleration and deceleration of a vehicle and instructed drivers on when to slow down.
