Makerspaces in libraries
A survey reveals the growing provision of makerspaces in libraries, offering everything from 3D printing and digital music recording to arts and crafts.
19 December 2013
The survey was conducted during October and November 2013 by John Burke. This is John's survey summary in full:
43 librarians responded to the survey. 41% of the respondents currently provide makerspaces in their libraries (or provide maker activities through their libraries). 36% of the respondents are planning to start makerspaces in the near future. 24% of respondents are not currently providing makerspaces nor are planning to do so. The following responses all come from the 109 librarians who currently provide makerspaces or who plan to soon start a makerspace.
Makerspaces appear in most types of libraries. 51% of respondents are in public libraries, 36% are in academic libraries, and 9% are in school libraries.
Librarians from 30 U.S. states responded to the survey along with librarians from seven other countries (Australia, Canada, China, Denmark, Japan, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom).
Makerspaces tend to be a new addition to most respondents' libraries. 46% of respondents started their makerspace in the last year, 13% in the last 1-2 years, and 11% two or more years ago. The remaining responses came from libraries that had not yet started to offer a makerspace.
Funding for the makerspaces came from a variety of sources. Respondents chose one or more of the following ways that their makerspaces could be funded:
- 36% found funding in the library budgets
- 29% received grants
- 14% received donations
- 11% requested additional funding from their parent organisations
- 11% noted "other" ways to fund the makerspace, including "local investors"
52 librarians reported that their makerspaces charge (or will be charging) for the following items (respondents chose one or more of the following options):
- 40% for supplies used in making
- 38% responded with "other" responses, mainly noting that they had not decided whether to charge, or were definitely not going to charge
- 13% for classes for workshops
- 4% for equipment use
- 4% for membership fees
I asked respondents to choose the technologies or forms of making they included in their makerspaces from a list of 55 items. All but six of the items were selected by at least one makerspace (those six were welding, stained glass, metal shop activities, letterpress, glass shop activities, and blacksmithing). The top 15 technologies or forms of making, each of which were chosen by 25% or more of the 109 respondents, were:
- Computer workstations 67%
- 3D printing 46%
- Photo editing 45%
- Video editing 43%
- Computer programming/software 39%
- Art and crafts 37%
- Scanning photos to digital 36%
- Creating a website or online portfolio 34%
- Digital music recording 33%
- 3D modeling 31%
- Arduino/Raspberry Pi 30%
- Other 30% (included knitting, Lego, etc.)
- Animation 28%
- High quality scanner 28%
- Tinkering 26%
Librarians reported that training sessions, workshops, or classes in their makerspaces were taught by library staff (49%), volunteers (27%), paid instructors from beyond the library (13%), or "other" (12%), which includes IT staff, maker group members, "Student Geek Force", and "centre for teaching and learning".
Respondents also listed their most popular making activities and technologies, their go-to resources for keeping track of making developments, and what they expect to add to their makerspaces in the next year.
More details from the survey will be available in the forthcoming book Makerspaces: A Practical Guide for Librarians by John Burke, to be published by Rowman & Littlefield in 2014.

Will 70-240 Accelerated Windows 2000 exam deadline be extended?
Given that Microsoft relented and extended the retirement date of the NT 4.0 Core exams plus TCP/IP and IIS to 2/28/2001, can we expect something similar for the 70-240 Accelerated Windows 2000 exam and the 12/31/2001 deadline?

Good question! Microsoft said at the time that they relaxed the deadline for the NT 4.0 exams because of high demand and that they would NOT extend the deadline for 70-240 or the need for MCSEs to get current by 12/31/2001. Nevertheless, the decision does set a precedent. Unfortunately, reading Microsoft's mind is an inherently risky business, so my answer to this question is "Maybe, but probably not."
Wishy-washy? You bet! But when it comes to planning on something as important as upgrading your MCSE, or as money-saving as taking the 70-240 instead of 70-210, 70-215, 70-216, and 70-217, you can't let the possibility that Microsoft might change its policy affect your planning. My advice is that if you plan to take any Microsoft exams in November or December (when demand for testing center seats is bound to peak again), book your exam as far in advance as you possibly can.

Looking beyond the market averages and focusing on specific sectors can help find interesting trends. After all, the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 haven't been doing much lately. The average daily move in the S&P over the past 20 days is only 3.7 points. For directional traders, the lack of movement and volatility can be frustrating because it becomes a lot harder to make money when the market is trading sideways in a narrow range. But by compartmentalizing the market into sectors, it's possible to find areas exhibiting vertical movement and volatility. As Jim Cramer is fond of saying, "There's always a bull market somewhere." With that in mind, here are three hot sectors to watch right now.
There is a frenzy going on in the rare-earth stocks. The action picked up noticeably last week after China cut export quotas on rare-earth materials. Rare Element Resources (REE) is up 60.9% since Dec. 23. During that time, Molycorp (MCP) has rallied 34.5%, China Shen Zhou (SHZ) surged 146.5%, and Avalon Rare Metals (AVL) gained 65.1%. The rare-earth sector is moving!
The relatively new Market Vectors Rare Earth Strategic Metals ETF (REMX) is a way to play the trend. The fund holds the aforementioned MCP, AVL and REE, but also a basket of other names from across the globe (click here for full list). Shares are up 15% since Dec. 23, and REMX options are beginning to catch the interest of traders as well. Vertical spreads in February or May calls might make sense for those investors looking for upside exposure to the red-hot rare-earth stocks.
Coal stocks have also been smoking! Arch Coal (ACI), for example, is up 45% since reporting earnings on Oct. 29. Shares notched a new 52-week high Monday on reports that flooding in Australia is taking a toll on coal supplies. Other names such as Massey Energy (MEE), Patriot Coal (PCX) and Peabody (BTU) delivered solid returns during the final few months of 2010 as well.Market Vectors Coal Fund (KOL) is an interesting tool for playing the coal stocks. The exchange-traded fund holds ACI, PCX, BTU and 35 other names from the industry (click here for a complete list). Shares gained 26.3% in the fourth quarter of 2010 and are up 4.5% already in 2011. Players looking to play the coal sector and its powerful upward momentum might want to consider some bullish vertical spreads in the February or April contracts. Or, buying straddles and strangles in KOL might make sense if you expect volatility in the sector to pick up in 2011.

Oct. 27, 2014: Campaign for Nebraska Update
October 27, 2014
James Linder, M.D.
Brian Hastings
Sept. 2, 2014 – Message to all students
Sept. 2, 2014
Dear University of Nebraska student:
As interim president of the University of Nebraska, I am happy to welcome you to campus. Some of you are returning, some come as transfer students, and others are beginning your university experience. Collectively you represent every Nebraska county, all 50 U.S. states and well over 100 countries around the world. Each year the University of Nebraska educates more than 50,000 students and each of you faces different opportunities and challenges – but I am confident that for all of you it will be an exciting year.
I thought back to my freshman year and asked myself: "If I could talk with the 1972 version of myself, what would I say?" So here is two minutes of advice from the 2014 Jim Linder to the 1972 Jim Linder, shared while sitting in the student union. You are eavesdropping.
"First, no matter how smart you are now, you will be wiser in five years. This has been consistently true for 40 years. Every five years I look back and realize I did not know as much as I thought. So be humble in what you think you know. Wisdom grows from experiences, and those only come with time.
"Second, because experience is the best teacher, say yes to different opportunities. Take part in that study-abroad program. Accept that internship in a different state. Take that course outside your academic major. Get to know people outside your circle of friends. There is a big world outside the Midwest, filled with incredible people, and college offers you a unique opportunity to experience it.
"Next -- and this one is important – develop abilities that justify someone paying you money. It sounds simplistic, but if you want your employer to give you a dollar, you must add value to their business in excess of a dollar. The abilities you develop can match your interests -- a technical skill (coding, healthcare, engineering); communication skill (teaching, journalism, law), creative skill (design, research, arts) or something else. Maybe, Jim, you should think about medicine.
"Fourth, while it's important to earn a living, learning how to live your life is the most valuable lesson from college. Your time at the University should help you understand people and how the world works. And when you understand, compassion follows. If people are compassionate, many of the seven deadly sins are avoided.
"Finally, the current generation will look to you, the next generation, to lead change that improves the world. Don't be afraid to lead and create, even if that effort carries the risk of failure. The fear of being embarrassed by failure often is the greatest barrier to success."
So, that would be my advice to me. I might also mention buying stock in a computer company named after a fruit, or share a tip about an Omaha-based investor.
I hope your eavesdropping stimulates thoughts on a life built on great experiences at the University of Nebraska. Chancellors Perlman, Christensen, Kristensen and Gold, and I are honored to have you as students and as future alumni.
James Linder, M.D.
Sept. 16, 2014 – Testimony to Nebraska Coordinating Commission for Postsecondary Education, 2015-17 biennial budget request
Sept. 16, 2014
Chairwoman Adam and members of the Commission, I am Dr. Jim Linder, interim president of the University of Nebraska. Thank you for the opportunity to present the University's 2015-2017 biennial budget request, which has been approved by the Board of Regents. I will spend a few minutes outlining our request, and then I would be pleased to answer any questions you may have.
A few days ago I was asked during an interview, if I could change one thing about higher education, what would it be? I thought for a moment and answered, "awareness." I meant it in a broad sense…awareness of the role of higher education, both in the individual lives of our students, and also in a larger societal context. During a university education students should gain skills to support their career, learn how to learn through critical thinking, and become a person who can contribute to society. And that is the message I hope to leave with you today – that higher education, and the University of Nebraska specifically, plays a vital role in improving the lives of our citizens, and in ensuring the long-term economic vitality of our state through those we educate. This is the guiding principle of our budget request.
One thing that has struck me in my short time as Interim President is how fortunate we are in Nebraska to have a strong working relationship between the University and the State – one that is focused on shared priorities and the best interests of our citizens. And when I talk to Nebraskans, they understand the important role of the University.
Other states are not so lucky. Particularly in the recent economic downturn, many of our peers experienced budget cuts that damaged their quality and reduced access. Meanwhile, in Nebraska, while we too reallocate funds, we have been able to not just maintain the status quo, but advance. Policymakers have continued to show strong support for affordable, quality higher education in the state and have made important investments in initiatives like Nebraska Innovation Campus, the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center, a health science complex in Kearney and, for the current biennium, an "affordability compact" that allowed for a two-year tuition freeze for all Nebraska students.
We are very grateful for this support. It has helped Nebraska maintain a competitive advantage and I believe the economic payoff – in terms of job creation, workforce development and expanded access for students who want to enjoy the benefits of a college degree – will be significant. Those working at the University are proud of what we contribute, but I constantly remind my colleagues that pride should not lead to hubris. It is our job to support education, research and service to our citizens. What we do must include supporting P-16 goals, STEM education and the mutual goals we share with the state colleges, community colleges and others.
Today, as the nationwide economy is improving, other states are investing in major initiatives tying higher education to economic competitiveness. Wisconsin has proposed a $95 million "talent development" initiative that includes expanded opportunities for entrepreneurship, internships and student and faculty growth. Minnesota is considering a $36 million "discovery, research and innovation" effort. Missouri has put forth a $51 million plan to expand capacity for STEM education and research. Those are just a few examples.
What does this mean for Nebraska? If we want to be competitive edge, we need to keep moving forward.
The facts are clear. The share of working-age Nebraskans who hold at least a two-year degree is slightly above the national average – but with our state ranked seventh in the nation in demand for workers with postsecondary education, we need to do more to make sure college is within reach for all who are qualified and want to attend, and that students who enroll on our campuses are prepared for success.
We have made it a high priority to align our academic programs with the needs of Nebraska companies – but with workforce analyses showing high demand for more nurses, engineers, IT workers, physician assistants and physical therapists, to name a few, we will need to produce more graduates who can fill the jobs of the future. I know workforce development is one of the Commission's Areas of Emphasis for the upcoming biennium and I strongly agree that growth of high-skill, high-paying jobs in Nebraska should be at the top of our agenda.
We are making significant progress in linking faculty with entrepreneurial experts who can help them commercialize their innovations – the University of Nebraska recently ranked 20th in the nation in licensing revenue from university-developed inventions. Hudl, a startup company from Lincoln, ranks among the highest growing companies on he Inc 500 list. We have great opportunities to do more, so that more Nebraskans can benefit from our faculty's work in medicine, agriculture, engineering and other areas.
This was our thinking as we developed our biennial budget request. I hope you will keep the same facts in mind as you consider our request.
The key component of our request is a $20 million economic competitiveness package which seeks to advance University initiatives that leverage the talents and resources of our four campuses for the benefit of Nebraskans. Let me briefly touch on the initiatives we are targeting for additional investment:
First, Nebraska Innovation Campus. The state provided an initial generous investment that we have been able to leverage with significant private-sector funding. Because of that, a conference center, "maker space" for innovators, business accelerator for start-up companies, and highly specialized greenhouse center are now taking shape at Innovation Campus. The UNL Department of Food Science and Technology also is relocating there, which will provide exciting new opportunities for joint research activities with ConAgra and other partners. The companies at Innovation Campus will expose our students to real-world experiences, and create job opportunities that keep our graduates at home. Because thousands of jobs can be created at successful university technology parks, the competition is intense. Additional state and private investments are essential for Innovation Campus to have its optimal economic impact. Of our $20 million request to the state, we estimate we would invest about $4 million in moving Innovation Campus forward.
Third, the Health Science Education Complex in Kearney, which broke ground earlier this year. You may remember that the complex was one component of our Building a Healthier Nebraska initiative, which the state generously supported. We now must staff the building with faculty and staff and we would use about $2 million in state support to do that. These talented employees will expand UNMC nursing and allied health programs at the UNK campus and put us in a better position to meet health needs in rural Nebraska, where shortages of health care workers are especially acute. For example, 23 counties in our state have no physician assistant and there are no physical therapists working in 13 counties. Consider also that about one-third of Nebraska's physician assistants and physical therapists are between the ages of 46 and 65 – indicating that there will be plenty of job openings in the years ahead.
Next, the National Strategic Research Institute. This is an initiative we launched in 2012 to create a partnership with the U.S. Strategic Command focused on research and development that can advance national security. The NSRI is off to a very successful start, with initial research projects focusing on vaccine development, prevention of foodborne outbreaks, detection of nuclear weapons and other areas critical to the safety of our country. The contract research done at NSRI can grow substantially in coming years, and could have an economic impact on Nebraska of more than $200 million. We estimate we would invest about $1.5 million of our request in the NSRI.
Fifth, the Rural Futures Institute. Nebraska is well-positioned to be a leader in developing strategies for enhancing the economy and quality of life in nonmetropolitan areas, and we will do that through the RFI and the Community Vitality Initiative. The institute is planning to hire faculty experts in key areas related to rural development, continue its successful grant program that funds collaborative research projects relevant to rural communities, and move forward on a new initiative that focuses on workforce development, entrepreneurship, talent recruitment and business growth in rural areas. An investment of about $1.5 million in state support would be a significant boost to these efforts.
And finally, we are exploring a number of business engagement and workforce development opportunities across our campuses that can help drive economic growth in our communities. Collectively we seek about $6.5 million in state support for these opportunities. For example, we're looking at creating "maker spaces" in Omaha and Kearney that will be tied to local STEM education efforts. We're also exploring opportunities to more effectively link our research activities with industry, a priority that we share with the Commission.
Beyond the economic competitiveness package, our request also includes support for Collegebound Nebraska, our financial aid program that promises full tuition assistance to qualifying Nebraska students, and a "college pipeline" initiative that will help more underrepresented students – including minority, first-generation and rural students – access and succeed in college. I know that access is a high priority for the Commission and I fully agree that ensuring that higher education remains open to all Nebraskans is our most fundamental responsibility. Our College Pipeline project also ties directly to the Commission's emphasis on improving retention and graduation rates in our state. It includes expanded outreach to prospective students; growth in our online high school, particularly among underrepresented students; and expansion of our summer bridge programs that help incoming students become familiar with the college environment. These efforts, together with other student-focused strategies our campuses have put in place, will put more students in a position to stay in school and earn their degree. You rightfully expect us to demonstrate continued improvement in this area; we share that goal and monitor our progress very rigorously.
Regarding salaries: The University of Nebraska – like many business in our state – competes on a global stage for talent. We have incredibly talented faculty and staff on our campuses who are responsible for educating our students, conducting research, and performing outreach in every Nebraska county. But if we do not provide competitive compensation, we risk losing key employees we are handicapped in being unable to attract new talent. Our faculty and staff salaries currently lag behind their peers. We hope to make some targeted investments in cases where salaries of key skillsets are particularly far behind the market average.
I've spent the past few minutes talking about opportunities for investment. Let me say a word about a topic that is equally important: cost control. I want to assure you that it is a very high priority for the University of Nebraska to be accountable to the policymakers and Nebraskans who invest their resources in us. We have worked hard at cost effectiveness and will continue to do so. We have managed to grow enrollment and research activity without adding employees supported by tax and tuition dollars. We have kept administrative spending at levels that are lower than our peer institutions. We have made $80 million in budget reallocations since 2000 in order to maintain investments in our priorities while also keeping tuition affordable. These cuts haven't always been easy, but we are proud of the results: Tuition rates that are well below our peers, including the lowest tuition and lowest debt levels in the entire Big Ten; and academic quality that is widely recognized on a national scale. However, when it comes to cost savings, there are always more opportunities. We currently have task forces working on IT, energy utilization, financial transactions, health services, human resources and other areas to identify additional opportunities. On-line learning is cost-effective, and demanded by students, so we are expanding our use of online learning tools, and studying how our facilities must change to meet the new learning environment. Efficiency will continue to be a high priority for the Board of Regents, the chancellors and myself.
Let me conclude by saying that I feel very fortunate to be Interim President at a time when such great things are happening at the University of Nebraska. Our success is thanks in no small part to the support of policymakers who have generously invested in affordable, excellent higher education. I thank you for that support. Now I ask you to partner with us again as we seek to build on our momentum.
Thank you, and with that, I'd be pleased to respond to your questions.
May 5, 2014 – Message to all employees
May 5, 2014
Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to write to you on my first day as interim president of the University of Nebraska. Over the last month I worked closely with President Milliken, learning more about the great things happening on each of the campuses and the many opportunities that lie ahead for us. My respect for President Milliken, which was already high, has only grown as I learned more about the complexities of leading a multi-campus university. He deserves our sincere thanks and we wish him well as he begins his new job in New York.
Some colleagues have asked why I would take on the task of leading the university during this time of transition. The answer is simple. As a member of the faculty for more than 30 years, my institutional loyalty runs deep. Like most Nebraskans, I take great pride in the many contributions the University of Nebraska makes to the state. I know you share that pride, since it is your work – educating our students, conducting important research, and performing outreach activities in each Nebraska county – that advances the university's fundamental mission to serve the people of the state. Our university focuses the energies and ideas of 13,000 talented faculty and staff to change Nebraska and the world, and together we are making great progress. I am grateful and excited for the opportunity to work with you in the months ahead.
The Board of Regents, in collaboration with a leading executive search firm and two search committees whose members represent a wide range of university constituencies, has begun the task of selecting the next permanent president. Much work is ahead, but I have full confidence that they will identify the right person to build on our impressive momentum. In the meantime, our commitment to doing work that serves Nebraskans and others will remain.
Thank you for all you do for the University of Nebraska.
James Linder, M.D.

We are looking at this as part of our Academy process.
You actually get the speed you have specced into your school. Eg. Many RBC connections are relatively contended - so you're sharing bandwidth to the net.
Flexibility - you're not tied to do what your LA/RBC decide is best for your connection.
Most commercial providers are not connected to the NEN
Potentially costs more
Responsibility for filtering falls on you.
Suppliers - Opal, Network Flow, BT, Zen, Virgin. There are loads of them.
Filtering - Smoothwall, Forefront TMG's built in filtering service. Again, loads of them. Personally, I am keen on a Smoothwall box.
Mail - Loads of options. Live@Edu, Google Apps for Education, running your own mail servers. We're looking at Google Apps for Education now, after lots of research.
I think, overall, if your school is going to become an academy, commercial providers appear to have the edge.

(Updates with CEO's comments on fixed income in third paragraph, investment banking in 10th paragraph.)
Sept. 20 (Bloomberg) -- Jefferies Group Inc. said fiscal third-quarter profit fell 49 percent on a drop in fixed-income trading revenue. The stock rose as much as 4.8 percent as the firm said it would buy back as many as 20 million shares.
Profit for the three months ended Aug. 31 was $23 million, or 10 cents a share, excluding the acquisition of Prudential Bache's global commodities group, the New York-based firm said today in a statement. The average estimate of eight analysts surveyed by Bloomberg was for earnings of 20 cents. Net income was $68.3 million, or 30 cents a share, compared with $44.8 million, or 22 cents, in the same period a year earlier.
Fixed-income trading suffered as corporations pulled back from the market and investors grappled with fallout from Standard & Poor's downgrade of the U.S. credit rating. JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Morgan Stanley said earlier this month that they were facing a difficult third quarter as well.
"The environment in August was outright brutal," Richard Handler, chairman and chief executive officer, said in a conference call after earnings were released. "August was the third-worst month in the history of the U.S. credit markets after September and October of 2008."
Jefferies, which was down 47 percent this year through yesterday on the New York Stock Exchange, climbed 31 cents, or 2.2 percent to $14.43 at 11:32 a.m.
Buyback Program
The company said its 20 million buyback authorization is in addition to the 3.1 million shares it purchased during the quarter. The previous buyback program has 6.7 million shares remaining, Jefferies said.
"They're sending a signal that they think their stock is very undervalued," said Lauren Smith, an analyst with New York- based KBW Inc. who has an "outperform" rating on Jefferies shares. "They can be out there buying back stock and I absolutely expect that's what they will be doing, which is good for shareholders and should be good for the stock price.
Net revenue fell 1.5 percent to $509.3 million from $517.3 million a year earlier. Analysts had expected revenue of $618.8 million, according to the Bloomberg survey.
Revenue from sales and trading decreased 21 percent to $212.4 million. Revenue from fixed-income trading, led by William Jennings and Johan Eveland, fell 80 percent to $33.1 million. Revenue from trading equities increased 16 percent to $126.9 million from $109.3 million in the year-earlier period.
Investment Banking
Investment-banking revenue increased 19 percent to $293.8 million from $246.2 million in the same period last year.
"While we are disappointed with our third-quarter trading results, we are extremely pleased with the overall position of our firm today," Handler said. "Our third-quarter results reflect the unique period of dislocation and are not indicative of where our firm is positioned today."
The firm increased its headcount by about 29 percent since last year to 3,842 employees. The pace of hiring will probably slow, Handler said.

Ever since Darwin's theory of evolution came out 150 years ago, there has been controversy over the issue -- and the critics remain to this day. Dr. David Berlinski is one of them. The mathematician and author is perhaps best known for his appearance in the movie Expelled about the controversy over intelligent design as an alternative to evolution. In the film, Berlinski describes Darwin's theory as intellectually weak. "One of my prevailing doctrines about Darwinian theory is -- man, that thing is just a mess. It's like looking into a room full of smoke. Nothing in the theory is precisely, clearly, carefully defined or delineated," he said.
His forthcoming book, The Deniable Darwin, further explores his criticism of Darwin's theory.
Berlinski, who is Jewish, is especially critical of how Darwin's writings fueled the ideas of the Nazis and Hitler.
"One was English, one was German," Berlinski said. "Nonetheless if you open "Mein Kampf," and read it -- especially if you can read it in German -- the correspondence between Darwinian idea and Nazi ideas just leaps from the page."
Also, Berlinski's book, The Devil's Delusion, takes shots at the new atheism and its connection to Darwin. He finds the atheists' criticism of religion both unreasonable and shallow.
Dr. David Berlinski appeared on the Tuesday edition of the CBN Newschannel's Midday program to discuss the impact of Darwinism and the new atheism on today's society and how parents should respond.

Hoverfly Pro X650 Quad, Hex, Octocopter Complete Flagship, NICE, $550!!!
Just built Hoverfly Pro X650 with Hacker Clones For Sale $550!!
I bought every quad I saw when I got into multi's and after about 20 of them I decided to build a Flagship model,this was going to be my BEST QUAD. and then I got a girlfriend and I haven't had a chance to play since!. I am liquidating all quads and this is my very Best one up for sale now.
This is a Hoverfly Pro board with external filter (mounted and heat shrinked) It is attached to an X650 Modified for a HVP FC Board. These are the Mikrocopter Vibration dampeners used to mount the Hoverfly. Comes with 6x Keda Hacker Clone motors, and 6x Hobbywing 30a ESC's. The X650 from comes with the Hexa conversion plates with power distribution system added. So with the extra 2 motors and ESC's that I will include you are ready to make this a Hexa!!!. PLUS I also bought the Octo conversion plates as well that I will include in case you want to upgrade to an Octo! There is an extra new set of Landing gear for the X650 frame as well.
This has ultra bright red and Blue LED lights for orientation and night flying and I will include the spektrum (orange rx) Reciever as well. I put these 9x5 3 blade props on to take the pictures but after calculating I think these 10x4.5 SF props would have better lift and efficiancy so I will include those instead if you preffer. This quad has never been flown, only plugged into a computer and tested. In fact I only took the Hoverfly out of the box to mount it and take pictures of it complete. I spent alot of time and money for this quad and with a little setup this will be the best quad around! I am listing as a complete package for

Fed Ignores Fiscal Cliff, Conducts Business As Usual
As always, the Fed notes that this low rate policy is contingent upon inflation remaining within acceptable limits.
The MoneyRates outlook
What does this mean for various forms of bank rates? Well, it will take a sustained period of decent economic growth to bring unemployment down to 6.5 percent, so expect most savings account rates, money market rates, and short-term CD rates to remain below 1 percent through at least most of 2013. If the economy does start to strengthen, expect long-term rates like mortgages to be the first to start to rise.
Whether the Fed chooses to acknowledge the fiscal cliff or not, it could have a tremendous impact on bank rates. While there is not much room for rates to fall further, too much immediate austerity could hold those rates down for an even longer period, while an enlightened solution could bring a turn in rates closer to the first half of next year.

CareFusion ( CFN ) declined, falling 3.1% to $33.59 after the medical technology company said its 2013 revenue guidance could fall by as much as the low-single-digits on a percentage basis compared with its previous expectation that revenue would grow 1% to 3%.
Priceline.com (PCLN) jumped 3.8% to $765.41 after the online-travel company garnered bullish action with earnings that beat Wall Street expectations, offsetting weaker-than-anticipated guidance. Piper Jaffray raised its price target to $850 from $800, followed by Macquarie, Credit Suisse, Jefferies, and Raymond James, overshadowing JMP Securities' and Deutsche Bank's price-target cuts following the second-quarter outlook.
Oil and natural gas exploration company QEP Resources Inc. ( QEP ) gained 5.4% to $29.88 after its operating arm, QEP Midstream Partners LP, revealed Thursday that it filed for an IPO of as much as $400 million.
Gap (GPS) was another big gainer in the S&P, tacking on 5.6% to $40.99 after the apparel retailer reported a 7% increase in April same-store sales driven by increases at Old Navy and produced an earnings guidance that also exceeded forecasts. Canaccord Genuity has raised its price target on Gap to $40 from $39 a share.The U.S. Treasury's monthly budget report showed a monthly net surplus of $112.9 billion in April.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

With the installation of a single turbine at a dock on the lower Mississippi River, a renewable energy company is taking a big step toward what could be an unending power source.
The company, Boston-based Free Flow Power, is testing a "hydrokinetic" underwater turbine at the Dow Chemical dock in Plaquemine, La. If successful, the project could usher in a new wave of portside electricity production, using the continuous flow of river current to generate clean energy.
In concept, that could open the door to a new source of power for inland or coastal ports on fast-flowing rivers, where turbines could operate most efficiently. In theory, riverfront property owners could lease easements, take power to reduce their purchases from utilities or become partners in supplying power to their tenants.
Though the work is years from major development, industry officials and the government are taking the company's concept seriously.
With a $1.4 million grant from the Department of Energy, Free Flow Power has launched its pilot and is investing in costly studies as it pursues a first-of-its-kind operating license from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
"They are serious," one river industry veteran said. "They are dedicating a lot of time and money to the study process," and discussing the issues at length with stakeholders up and down the river, the source said.
At the Port of New Orleans, Communications Manager Chris Bonura said that, although generating power from the Mississippi River is a generally positive idea, "we have to be sure it is done in a way that does not impede navigation."
The port might consider tapping such electrical power for its own needs if it were cost effective, he said, and the testing will help show "if there is a way to harness that (river) energy that makes sense."
Free Flow isn't alone in pushing the idea for alternative electrical power generation. Verdant Power is operating underwater turbines of a different design off Roosevelt Island in New York's East River. Tulane University also is working on a hydrokinetic research project.
Free Flow is also one of two companies applying for projects to install more traditional hydropower units at navigation dams along the upper Mississippi River. Many of the nation's dams were built to manage river depth at intervals for barges and operate adjacent locks for barges and other craft, but they were deemed too small to be worth a major hydropower installation. New technology involving smaller turbines now makes it much more feasible to retrofit those dams.
For its underwater river turbines, Free Flow is thinking big but moving carefully. The single turbine at Plaquemine came after three years of research and development. It was three weeks after the turbine's installation before the company formally announced the project; Free Flow wanted to make sure the turbine worked as planned.
Planners envision large underwater fields of turbines, attached to a series of concrete pilings, each field stretching perhaps along a mile of river at a time. While the Plaquemine turbine is rated to produce
40 kilowatts of electricity, enough to power 13 U.S. homes, the large-scale fields could hold 400 to 600 separate turbines.
The result would be equivalent to building new power plants, without traditional fuels. And, unlike the main alternative energy producers, wind or solar arrays that crank up and down with their power source, river turbines could generate electricity all the time.
Jon Guidroz, Free Flow Power's director of project development, said the pilot project turbine looks like a jet aircraft engine and has internal blade features such as wind turbines. But moving water generates 26 times the power of air, he said.
The test project will look at the turbine's effect on fish and how it handles river debris, but developers think they have a design that can meet all environmental requirements and keep operating through varied river conditions.
Well before it got to this point, however, "we've begun extensive outreach along the Mississippi River," he said, "including the ports and shippers." Guidroz said a key to the vision is making sure it does not interfere with navigation.
Mark Wright, southern region vice president at the American Waterways Operators, said the AWO and its members are studying the Free Flow plans and giving input to its FERC license studies. The AWO, which represents barge lines, has no final position on the project, he said.
But based on what he has seen to date, Wright said, "It does seem that the normal operation of these turbines would not be a problem for navigation."
Questions remain about whether river use could be restricted when a turbine array is deployed or serviced. "The primary concern right now is installation and maintenance," Wright said.
Studies could determine how the pilings and turbines interact with the river's heavy load of silt, and how the turbine fields and their onshore substations would operate in heavy floods.
Other riverfront operators are showing interest in tapping or hosting the turbine fields, as long as they don't disrupt normal river business. At New Orleans, Bonura said, "I feel pretty confident that we'll find a way to make it work."
Free Flow Power is three years into its FERC licensing and study process, and Guidroz projects the earliest it could receive a license would be the end of 2013. "Two years (more) is an optimistic window" to get the agency's first license for a hydrokinetic facility, he said. But it's within reach. "That's why we're working with stakeholders."

VIA demo Crysis on Nano 1.8GHz Mini-ITX (video)
COMPUTEX TAIPEI 2008 Now that VIA has officially announced its codenamed Isaiah processor called Nano, it can begin showing off just exactly what it is capable of doing.
On Thursday during Computex VIA held a press conference with CJ Holthaus of Centaur Technology, who demonstrated the power of this small VIA EPIA SN computing platform.
Using a VIA Nano processor clocked at 1.8GHz on a Mini-ITX CN896 based motherboard with an NVIDIA GeForce 8600GT graphics card in its PCIe x16 slot and Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit, CJ showed that it is able to run Crysis with a relatively good frame rate. Here is a very blurry shot of the specs shown in Windows.
We were present at the event and got some footage which we've just uploaded to YouTube for all to see.
Hopefully VIA will send us one of these chips and boards soon for us to put through our paces - we can't wait to see how it stands up to our benchmark suite!

VIA's Mini-ITX 2.0/Nano can play Crysis (video)
COMPUTEX TAIPEI 2008 VIA held a press conference yesterday during which they announced their new Mini-ITX 2.0 concept; this further advancing on an already well regarded platform in the embedded market.
As a solid example of where Mini-ITX is now heading, a demonstration was run on an optimized PC based on the VIA Nano platform along with an NVIDIA graphics card (thanks to the residing x16 PCI-E slot) in which Crysis was then fired up and shown to be ticking along quite nicely.
The folks at Technovoyance were there to witness the action and kindly uploaded a video so we can see it for ourselves.

Albatron showcases multi-touch LCD panel (video)
COMPUTEX TAIPEI 2008 We caught up with Sam from Albatron earlier in the week at their booth in Nangang and he was kind enough to give us a exclusive preview of its multi-touch IR 22" LCD panel.
If you recall a movie called "Minority Report", this tech will blow you away. In the upcoming Windows 7 operating system, Microsoft will introduce multi-touch finally that basically allows multiple input detection where as XP and Vista is still single.
Albatron had a special driver made for Vista which allows multi-touch and while it is nowhere near fine tuned at this stage, it does work surprisingly well even now.
Albatron's Optical Touch Panel is 22-inches in size, has a widescreen resolution of 1650 x 1080, has touch accuracy up to 90 frames per second and uses DVI. Here is a video of the amazing technology that we uploaded to YouTube.
The future is on our doorstep and it's exciting!

Intel Nehalem system demo video from Taipei
COMPUTEX TAIPEI 2008 During Day 1 of Computex we got a chance to sit down with Intel in its hotel suite and get a one on one look at the progress of its forthcoming Nehalem processor.
From what we saw today, we think things are progressing just nicely. Intel setup a Nehalem demo system but we weren't told what clock speed it was running. It did have a pair of Intel's 80GB SATA-II SSD drives in RAID 0. Intel demonstrated the speed of Nehalem and SSD in RAID 0 by opening various applications under Vista and even if they were cached in local memory, everything that was click popped up instantly almost with no delay - responsiveness was amazing.
To demonstrate the raw power of Nehalem, Intel first started encoding raw HD footage into 1080p Blu-ray format and while we didn't get any numbers, it handled it without a sweat at all and was on track to complete in record time with solid CPU utilization over all eight threads.
Next up we got a look at a program called Deep Viewer which brings a new way at how we could be looing at old photos in the not so distance future. Intel had a monitor setup with touch capabilities and were showing off how Nehalem handled accessing and processing huge amounts of data in terms of photos and mapping in real-time.
We made a video and uploaded to YouTube for all to view - take a look, it's pretty damn cool actually.
While Intel did not mention anything about clock speeds to us at all, word from other press around Computex is that it could be running at 3.2GHz and it could be ready to rock and roll sooner than expected but you didn't read that here.

Uribe said Tuesday he was willing to reach out to the FARC in order to motivate the group to enter into a peace process with the government or to establish a humanitarian accord for the release of those who have been kidnapped.
Archbishop Castro said he would remind Uribe of his statements down the road when immediate decisions about the talks would have to be made. He said he hoped to see "readiness and good will on the part of the FARC in order to seek out ways to bring the sides together."
As the country gears up for presidential elections on May 28, the Church in Colombia has temporarily halted its efforts to bring the government and the FARC together in peace talks.
