ATLAS, The Pentagon's Humanoid Robot, Just Got A Major Upgrade. A Worm's Mind In A Lego Body. Take the connectome of a worm and transplant it as software in a Lego Mindstorms EV3 robot - what happens next?
It is a deep and long standing philosophical question. Are we just the sum of our neural networks. Of course, if you work in AI you take the answer mostly for granted, but until someone builds a human brain and switches it on we really don't have a concrete example of the principle in action. KDS444, modified by Nnemo. Youtube. A Self-Repairing Space Robot on the International Space Station. Captured: The Acrobatics of a Fruit Fly in Flight. At breakneck speed, a fruit fly veers off course and rolls into a precise bank.
As the fly dips and dives around a miniature arena inside a laboratory in Seattle, three high-speed cameras shooting at 7500 frames per second capture its every twist and turn. Michael Dickinson, biologist and fruit fly expert at the University of Washington, has spent years studying insect flight, and converting static images into dynamic models. "I'm obsessed with flies and how they work," he says. Now, Dickinson and his team have revealed the physics behind how a fruit fly escapes from threats, be they predators or rolled-up newspapers. Sandia Robotic Hand. Scientists just created some of the most powerful muscles in existence.
"and perhaps one day our own bodies.
" Not in this mode, no. You do see that "heating and cooling" notation on the first slide, right? The military has developed a robotic convoy that doesn't need humans. So what happens when all these soldiers no longer have jobs?
Less of them get blown up, I guess. Actually I'd be far more concerned when this technology leaves the military for the civilian sector and then suddenly millions of high school educated truckers and teamsters are out of work. Actually my train of thought was much less simplistic and generic. See overcrowded job market, rise in poverty/ unemployment as an extension of that, etc. Robot Soldiers Are Coming! UN: Hold International Talks on 'Killer Robots'
(New York) – All governments should support international talks to address the threat posed by fully autonomous robotic weapons, Human Rights Watch said today.
Human Rights Watch and the Harvard Law School International Human Rights Clinic on October 21, 2013, issued a question-and-answer document about the legal problems posed by these weapons. Representatives from the Campaign to Stop Killer Robots, including Human Rights Watch, will present their concerns about fully autonomous weapons at a United Nations event in New York on October 21. The "bizarre experiment" that became a flying jellyfish robot. I don't see any advantage that this design could have over a copter and I bet it consumes more energy to fly than a copter of the same size/weight, because it doesn't exploit the lift that aerodynamics grant a wing.
Am I missing something? A helicopter would require extra weight for counter-rotation, either through a second main rotor or an anti-torque rotor. Not to mention, flapping devices have the ability to be highly simplified with linear actuators like electrostrictive polymers, whereas devices that depend on rotation tend to require more complexity, especially for control transmission, i.e. the swashplate assembly. Maybe, but even two counter-rotating rotor would be lighter than theses huge wings, me thinks. The 6 Most Horrifying Robotic Animals That Actually Exist. Human beings have been building robots for a few millennia.
But no matter how useful our automata, or how sleek and efficient our killing machines grow, we know we'll always be second best. Nature has been building high-end meat-bots for millions of years, after all. Well, we're tired of coming in second. They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so Mother Nature, consider these bizarre and terrifying abominations a compliment ... #6. This Jumble of Tent Poles Could Be NASA's Next Titan-exploring Robot.
Meet the eight astounding finalists of DARPA's Robotics Challenge. Google Buys Boston Dynamics in Sensational Eighth Robotics Acquisition. Google just acquired Boston Dynamics.
It's the eighth robotics company the California tech titan has purchased in six months and, by far, the most significant. For two decades, Boston Dynamics has produced some of the world's most advanced robots. Neil Jacobstein, co-chair of the Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Track at Singularity University, told Singularity Hub, "This is a watershed event. Robots can now collaborate over their very own Internet. If Robots are able to access all the data found in databases around the world (including the internet) then either there will require a massive reworking of databases or the Robots will have hours upon hours of time rummaging through useless information with incredibly complex queries.
The world's databases would all need to be similarly constructed, and every single one available will have to be reformatted to BCNF or 4NF, which would take years! Old databases would most likely need to be entirely re-designed. Splendid idea, but not practical for Robots to efficiently access information from the internet, at least not soon. The limitations of the robots' "internet" should be limited to their own, and ours should be kept separate as well. General Electric Expands Internet of Things to More Industrial Equipment. The Internet of Things — a network that connects devices, from sneakers to massive industrial oil- and gas-drilling equipment, and runs the information they provide through big data-analyzing software — has been over-promised and under-delivered.
Yet tech companies are still lumbering toward such a network. General Electric recently took a big step, more than doubling the vertically-specialized hardware/software packages it offers to connect machines and interpret their data. The company hopes to make its mark by significantly reducing the amount of "unplanned downtime" that industrial equipment undergoes, thereby bringing about economic benefits. Targeting industries including oil and gas, wind power, airlines, railroads and health care, the company figures that even if it drives its clients' costs down by 1 percent, the effects will be more than enough to offset the cost of its products and probably enough for the companies to pass some savings on to consumers.
Robots to get their own internet. 9 February 2011Last updated at 10:54 By Mark Ward Technology correspondent, BBC News RoboEarth could help robots get to work in novel environments much more quickly Robots could soon have an equivalent of the internet and Wikipedia. European scientists have embarked on a project to let robots share and store what they discover about the world. A Swarm of Nano Quadrotors. Robot Quadrotors Perform James Bond Theme. Gramazio & Kohler, Architects ETH SIA BSA. Flight Assembled Architecture, 2011-2012FRAC Centre Orléans Flight Assembled Architecture is the first architectural installation assembled by flying robots, free from the touch of human hands. The installation is an expression of a rigorous architectural design by Gramazio & Kohler and a visionary robotic system by Raffaello D'Andrea. Flight Assembled Architecture consists of over 1.500 modules which are placed by a multitude of quadrotor helicopters, collaborating according to mathematical algorithms that translate digital design data to the behavior of the flying machines.
In this way, the flying vehicles, together, extend themselves as "living" architectural machines and complete the composition from their dynamic formation of movement and building performance. Within the build, an architectural vision of a 600m high "vertical village" for 30'000 inhabitants unfolds as model in 1:100 scale. Toyota Joins Slew of Major Automakers Promising Self-Driving Technology This Decade. Toyota recently added its voice to a chorus of major automakers promising self-driving systems when the firm announced it would offer a car with "automated driving technologies" by the mid-2010s. In recent months, several manufacturers—Tesla, Nissan, BMW—have published forecasts of robot cars inside the next decade. Toyota, the latest to promise automated car tech, is more modest than some of its competitors. The Japanese firm's Automated Highway Driving Assist (AHDA) system is, as the name suggests, for highways only.

It's been quite a while since I posted on here, but like all of you, sometimes life and busy schedules get the best of you. And that's one reason why I haven't written anything in a while. The other reason is because I want to write quality content, and it seems I am lacking in ideas/inspiration. But then, I read a blog post from the Copyblogger (one of my favorite bloggers, by the way).
It was exactly what I was thinking. And then I found another delightful surprise. It was guest written by my OTHER favorite blogger, Robert Bruce! YES!!!!
It came out last week, and yes, I'm just now getting around to posting it. But I still don't have time on my side this evening. So I'm gonna leave you with this gem. Note – none of this is me. I give all credit to Copyblogger and Robert Bruce, and I apologize that I'm using their content instead of creating my own.
So here it is…"Everything Will Conspire to Stop You, But So What?"
There are endless reasons and ways.
You've got three kids. You've got three teeth. The rent is four months past due.
You're a big hit at the office. She left last week. The engine won't turn over.
You just aren't feeling it.
The wine went bad. Success arrived too fast. Success never arrived. You'll lose their respect. You're in the cancer game now.
That bus turned left, one block north.
You'll do it tomorrow. The doubt, just behind your left ear. Thirty-three parking tickets.
Out of milk. The electric bill. What would Mommy and Daddy say?
Never went to college. Went to too much college.
The step onto a rotting board. Oversexed. Undersexed.
Et Cetera.
Et Cetera.
Et Cetera.
Everything will conspire to stop you. There are endless reasons and ways.
They are all common to everyone.
In the end you've got to pick up the pen and do the thing. And then you've got to do it again.
No matter the payoff. No matter the beating.
You are no different, better or worse, than any before you.
Their ink and blood ran in the gutter.
So will yours, if you want to finish this race.
So what?
And that's that. Write on.

In mathematics, an equation that contains partial derivatives, expressing a process of change that depends on more than one independent variable. It can be read as a statement about how a process evolves without specifying the formula defining the process. Given the initial state of the process (such as its size at time zero) and a description of how it is changing (i.e., the partial differential equation), its defining formula can be found by various methods, most based on integration. Important partial differential equations include the heat equation, the wave equation, and Laplace's equation, which are central to mathematical physics.
Learn more about partial differential equation with a free trial on Britannica.com.
Equation containing derivatives of a function of a single variable. Its order is the order of the highest derivative it contains (e.g., a first-order differential equation involves only the first derivative of the function). Because the derivative is a rate of change, such an equation states how a function changes but does not specify the function itself. Given sufficient initial conditions, however, such as a specific function value, the function can be found by various methods, most based on integration.

Mathematical statement that contains one or more derivatives. It states a relationship involving the rates of change of continuously changing quantities modeled by functions. Differential equations are very common in physics, engineering, and all fields involving quantitative study of change. They are used whenever a rate of change is known but the process giving rise to it is not. The solution of a differential equation is generally a function whose derivatives satisfy the equation. Differential equations are classified into several broad categories. The most important are ordinary differential equations (ODEs), in which change depends on a single variable, and partial differential equations (PDEs), in which change depends on several variables. Seealso differentiation.

A simple example is Newton's second law of motion, which leads to the differential equation
for the motion of a particle of mass m. In general, the force F depends upon the position of the particle x(t) at time t, and thus the unknown function x(t) appears on both sides of the differential equation, as is indicated in the notation F(x(t)).
Ordinary differential equations are distinguished from partial differential equations, which involve partial derivatives of several variables.
Ordinary differential equations arise in many different contexts including geometry, mechanics, astronomy and population modelling. Many famous mathematicians have studied differential equations and contributed to the field, including Newton, Leibniz, the Bernoulli family, Riccati, Clairaut, d'Alembert and Euler.
Much study has been devoted to the solution of ordinary differential equations. In the case where the equation is linear, it can be solved by analytical methods. Unfortunately, most of the interesting differential equations are non-linear and, with a few exceptions, cannot be solved exactly. Approximate solutions are arrived at using computer approximations (see numerical ordinary differential equations).
Let y be an unknown function
in x with the nth derivative of y, then an equation of the form
is called an ordinary differential equation (ODE) of order n; for vector valued functions,
When a differential equation of order n has the form
A differential equation not depending on x is called autonomous.
A differential equation is said to be linear if F can be written as a linear combination of the derivatives of y
with ai(x) and r(x) continuous functions in x. The function r(x) is called the source term; if r(x)=0 then the linear differential equation is called homogeneous, otherwise it is called non-homogeneous or inhomogeneous.
Given a differential equation
a function
is called the solution or integral curve for F, if u is n-times differentiable on I, F is defined for all
Given two solutions
u is called an extension of v if I ⊂ J and
A solution which has no extension is called a global solution.
A general solution of an n-th order equation is a solution containing n arbitrary variables, corresponding to n constants of integration. A particular solution is derived from the general solution by setting the constants to particular values, often chosen to fulfill set 'initial conditions or boundary conditions'. A singular solution is a solution that can't be derived from the general solution.
Any differential equation of order n can be written as a system of n first-order differential equations. Given an explicit ordinary differential equation of order n and dimension 1,
we define a new family of unknown functions
We can then rewrite the original differential equation as a system of differential equations with order 1 and dimension n.
which can be written concisely in vector notation as
A well understood particular class of differential equations is linear differential equations. We can always reduce an explicit linear differential equation of any order to a system of differential equation of order 1
which we can write concisely using matrix and vector notation as
The set of solutions for a system of homogeneous linear differential equations of order 1 and dimension n
forms an n-dimensional vector space. Given a basis for this vector space , which is called a fundamental system, every solution can be written as
The n × n matrix
is called fundamental matrix. In general there is no method to explicitly construct a fundamental system, but if one solution is known d'Alembert reduction can be used to reduce the dimension of the differential equation by one.
The set of solutions for a system of inhomogeneous linear differential equations of order 1 and dimension n
can be constructed by finding the fundamental system to the corresponding homogeneous equation and one particular solution to the inhomogeneous equation. Every solution to nonhomogeneous equation can then be written as
A particular solution to the nonhomogeneous equation can be found by the method of undetermined coefficients or the method of variation of parameters.
If a system of homogeneous linear differential equations has constant coefficients
then we can explicitly construct a fundamental system. The fundamental system can be written as a matrix differential equation
with solution as a matrix exponential
which is a fundamental matrix for the original differential equation. To explicitly calculate this expression we first transform A into Jordan normal form
and then evaluate the Jordan blocks
Sturm-Liouville theory is a general method for resolution of second order linear equations with variable coefficients.

Improve Your Results With Pain Patients! Expand Your Skills with Moxa, Bleeding, Cupping, Seven-Star Hammer with Honora Lee Wolfe
While most acupuncture training courses give you a basic introduction to the use of moxibustion, cupping, bleeding, seven-star hammer, and external herbal applications, few of them cover these areas of practice in great detail.
Did you know, for example, that some types of moxa work very well in cases of yin deficiency heat? Or that cupping can be used to supplement the body as well as to drain it? Or that some types of pain have to be treated with bleeding to get the right result? These are a few examples of information not often taught in acupuncture colleges.
I am an acupuncturist. I do not use internal herbal treatments in my practice. In my work, I have made a personal study of the clinical applications of these therapies and how to use them to the best advantage for our patients. My experience is that there are times when we must use them to get the results we want in treating pain conditions! If you would like to know more about the skillful use of various moxa methods, bleeding techniques, different styles of cupping, pain-free seven-star hammer, and other tips for helping your patients be free of pain, join me for this hands-on, interactive seminar.
You can improve your effectiveness by learning more about these often neglected, but very powerful, modalities. I look forward to seeing you there!
What you will learn in this course:
What do we need to know about pain in order to treat it effectively?
Using Root and Branch treatments together to conquer pain
When and when not to use needles, moxa, cupping, bleeding, seven-star hammer, and massage techniques for the best results
Special moxa points and their specific uses
Safe blood-handling techniques
Blood stasis as a factor in diagnosing pain
What types of cases respond to cupping
How to use channel-based diagnosis
What to try when treatment is not working! Seminar details:
When: November 3 & 4, 2012
Where: Citywest Hotel, Dublin
Practitioners: €270 Early birds: €250 (for bookings before September 15th)
Students: €250 Maximum 45 participants.

Comment: I actually like Comcast... (Score 1) 195
I really don't see what the fuss about Comcast is. They are definitely the best for the money around here. I get 75 mbps down and 15 up with 4 phone lines and commercial TV for my business for around $300/ month. Nothing else comes close for that cost for commercial service. At&t would charge twice that for crappy 3mbps dsl with 4 phone lines, and then charge long distance on top of that. The only time Comcast service has gone down in the past year was when a tornado and storms ripped through our neighborhood and even then it was back online within 2 hours. Comcast has doubled my Internet speed at home and business at no extra charge during the past year. My sales rep even told me about new rates and encouraged me to get the new priced packages that provide faster speed at cheaper cost, and to inform my clients of such as well. They added HBO and Starz at my house for no additional charge for two years for being a good customer. They recently sent me a letter to inform me I was eligible for 100 mbps service at my home for the same price I previously was paying for 50 and I needed to call to get the new package for the same price. I have never heard about anything even close to that from other carriers. At&t would still charge $500/month for 3mbps awful sdsl if you didn't renegotiate. Comcast on-demand works quite well also. Maybe I am just lucky or in a good area. Most of the problems with service I have seen are due to bad cabling, like the customer using homemade ghetto rigged screw on coax ends and splitters from Walmart to terminate the cable, or trying to get a solid signal over RG58 in instead of RG6. Comcast is actually pretty good comparered to BoA or AT&T, Sprint, or a dozen other companies, for me at least. I really don't understand the hate.

Capital One Bank And Capital One Foundation Commit Nearly A Half Million Dollars To Easter Seals To Help Veterans Make The Transition To Civilian Jobs And Retain Long-Term Employment
Capital One Bank and Capital One Foundation today announced a $425,000 partnership with Easter Seals Serving DC | MD | VA—an organization providing support services for individuals with disabilities and special needs—to help veterans, wounded warriors and their spouses to transition to civilian life and navigate meaningful career paths. The partnership is part of a national workforce development initiative by Capital One, focused on helping to match job seekers—including returning veterans—with higher quality jobs and to train and retrain workers to compete for jobs based on local community demand. This announcement was made in tandem with the recent Capital One Bank, Easter Seals and Corporate Immersion-sponsored "How Hiring Our Nation's Veterans Can Impact Your Bottom Line" Flag Day workshop on Friday, June 14, where approximately 35-40 small businesses from the Washington metropolitan area gathered to address best practices in veterans' employment and gain essential insight to help reduce staff costs, recruit a highly effective workforce and retain talent.
"The future economic competitiveness and long-term success of a community is directly tied to the quality and skills of its workforce," said Tony Pica, senior vice president and Mid-Atlantic Business Banking Group executive market president, Northern Virginia at Capital One Bank. "As we think about developing our workforce, we must support our veterans who are returning home and looking to transition their unique skills into gainful civilian employment. We're proud to support our veterans during their transition by helping them not only prepare for new job opportunities but also secure those jobs and keep them."
Capital One's commitment to Easter Seals will specifically support the organization's new Veteran Staffing Network (VSN), a nonprofit staffing agency exclusively for veterans and their families. The VSN will provide comprehensive, wrap-around support services to both the veterans transitioning to civilian life and the businesses seeking to hire military servicemen and women. These wrap-around services provide access to programs designed to meet additional needs that may impact access and retention of employment, including:
- Operation Employ Vets employer training program, an internet-based interactive program designed to outline the benefits veterans bring to an organization. Easter Seals has worked with leading employers and community stakeholders to develop this program, as well as local departments of commerce, labor and veterans affairs.
- Little Warriors Early Education and Child Care program, which is designed to meet the unique needs of the wounded warrior, their children and spouses, while taking into consideration whether a family has recently had to relocate and addressing urgent needs for family stability.
- Veteran Caregiver Training, a comprehensive, multi-modal (classroom, web-based, and DVD/workbook) training for caregivers of veterans addressing a wide range of critical caregiving topics, such as self-care, obtaining benefits and support, behavior management, pain management, nutrition and wellness, and more.
- In addition, VSN hosts quarterly workshops, such as the "How Hiring Our Nation's Veterans Can Impact Your Bottom Line," for employers designed to educate business owners and HR professionals that may have concerns regarding hiring veterans and to dispel common misconceptions.
"Easter Seals understands the needs of veterans and their families. We are able to assist veterans in forging meaningful career paths and to connect them with long-term employment opportunities," said David Muir, Jr., senior vice president of the Veteran Staffing Network at Easter Seals. "We are extremely grateful to Capital One for its generous contribution and support, which will allow us to help more veterans and families to enter the workforce and reintegrate within their communities."

City hopes for airline competition

SkyWest Airlines could be the new carrier for Hays Regional Airport after the city of Hays solicited the company.
The city sent the airline a marketing presentation promoting the airport's opportunities for growth, the city's strengths and data on flights. Great Lakes Airlines, the airport's carrier, had an on-time rate of 52 percent in October, according to the presentation.
Great Lakes' contract with the airport ends in April. Monday was the deadline for carriers to submit bids to the U.S. Department of Transportation for consideration.
The federal division will choose who services the airport because it subsidizes its flights through the Essential Air Service program. The terminal receives $2 million in funds through two years from the DOT.
Toby Dougherty, Hays city manager, said the city reached out to SkyWest because the airline submitted a bid during the airport's last contractual process in 2011.
The city "begrudgingly" recommended DOT choose Great Lakes over SkyWest that year because the airport's crosswind runway could not support larger aircraft at the time. Great Lakes uses planes that can hold 19 passengers, and SkyWest, if chosen, could transport 40 travelers each flight.
Recent runway renovations allow the airport to handle larger jets.
Great Lakes' performance has been a "disservice" to the airport since its contract was renewed in 2011, Dougherty said. Many community members have a "horror story" about flights that have been canceled or delayed for reasons related to staff and equipment issues.
"They have done nothing but go downhill," he said. "Their on-time percentage is atrocious. They are driving passengers away from our airport. This is not just about trying to find an incrementally better carrier, this is about the long-term viability of the airport."
Justin Baalmann, Hays, flew out of his hometown airport Monday. He has experienced setbacks flying with Great Lakes.
"I've had several misfortunes of delayed flights and canceled flights that have hindered the way I do business," Baalmann said.
Dougherty said only 8 percent of people in the terminal's catchment area, the area most likely to use the airport, are flying out of Hays. The other 92 percent are using the airports in Denver, Wichita, Garden City and Manhattan.
Another carrier could give the airport new life, he said. Better service might lead to more routes and less dependency on federal funds.
"I think it'll be a new model out there. ... Throw everything you knew about the airport out the window, and this is the new model," he said.

Comments about Coleman Signature Propane Grill/Stove:
The push button light is annoying. The stove is light and the push button quite stiff. Difficult for right-hander to light right burner. Need to grip handle, under front of stove to keep it from sliding away. A lefty would have a difficult time lighting either burner. Had to have a third hand to get the stove lit.

Henry T. (TOM) Doherty, Jr. Dougherty/Doherty Home PageUpdated June 9, 2008 |
We started researching our Dougherty/Doherty family history six (6) months ago (02/01/2003). With the help of numerous kind and generous individuals we have amassed a tremendous amount of information about our family in Ireland and New Brunswick, Canada. That information starts dating back to the birth of our GGGrandfather, Benjamin Dougherty, b.1796, Co, Down, Ireland (more specific information is sought on this birth). Much of that information was obtained from contacts on the Carleton County Web page in New Brunswick Canada http://www.rootsweb.com/~nbcarlet/ and all the message boards at rootsweb.com. We continue to search for family connections thus our web page was created. We want to share our Dougherty/Doherty family information with others that are searching the same family name. If you have any information on our Dougherty/Doherty in Ireland or Canada we would appreciate your sharing it with us. Happy hunting and may we all meet at the 2008 Doherty reunion in Ireland.

"Bring It On" hits all the notes you'd expect from a new musical inspired by the 2000 Kirsten Dunst cheerleading movie of the same name. There are catty cheerleaders, underdogs for the audience to cheer on, and high-flying aerial wizardry. But the members of its creative team have built their names by delivering theater that goes beyond our expectations, and that didn't happen this time.
The story is pretty simple. A cheerleader is forced to change schools and goes from being head cheerleader of a winning squad to being anonymous in a more ethnic school that doesn't even have or want a cheer squad. I never saw the original movie, but my friend who attended with me said it is not the same plot, so it is definitely more "inspired by" than "based on."

Unfortunately for the majority of KC disc golfers it is not a tournament we are able to play in because it's something you have to qualify or be picked for.

Before "Your Show of Shows": Sid Caesar and the Coast Guard
Today's guest blogger is Mark Mollan, a reference archivist specializing in records of the U.S. Navy and Maritime agencies.
Not long ago, an Archives I reference staff member came across a Muster Roll for the USCG unit "Tars and Spars"–a touring entertainment troupe created to bolster the morale and support of World War II USCG personnel. In reviewing the document, the third name on the list was unmistakably recognized as a name synonymous with early television comedy: Sidney Caesar.
A graduate of the Julliard School of Music, Caesar played saxophone in the 1930s with several prominent Big Bands including those led by Claude Thornhill, Charlie Spivak, and others. In 1939 he joined the Coast Guard and was assigned to play in military shows. After routinely displaying his comic wit with other band members, "Tars and Spars" show producer Max Liebman brought Caesar out of the orchestra and put him in the limelight of the show's comedy sketches.
The series of Military Muster Rolls 1941-1949 (entry 108A) in the Records of the US Coast Guard (Record Group 26) serve as roll call lists of the personnel assigned to units in the Coast Guard, and each "muster" or roll call was taken once a month. The Muster Roll for the "Tars and Spars" for September 1945 documents that Sidney Caesar served the Coast Guard in the rank of Seamen 2nd Class. Caesar left the Coast Guard soon after this muster and went on to star in several Broadway and Silver Screen revues based on the comedy sketches of the "Tars and Spars" shows. Later, Caesar ventured into a new medium, creating and starring in the classic TV program "Your Show of Shows."
Other famous people have served in the US Coast Guard including actors Lloyd Bridges, Humphrey Bogart, Buddy Ebsen, and Marlene Deitrich. For Sid Caesar, however, serving in the Coast Guard proved to be his big break.
Bob Burns October 3, 2011 at 10:45 am
How interesting! I would never have guess Sid Caesar was a Juilliard student. Good for him. Certainly, his career took a totally divergent – and happily for America – path.
Shaun Costello November 17, 2011 at 10:43 am
During WWII my mother and uncle toured with the Tars and Spars Shows, and knew Sid Caesar well. I have many great pics from those days of Sid Caesar, Gower Champion, Vernon Duke, Victure Mature, and all of the Tars and Spars gang. Here's a link. If the link does not work, contact me by e-mail; email@example.com and I will send them to you.

As you may have guessed from my previous post about DailyGrace, I love YouTube. I consistently watch several vloggers, and recently I have become obsessed with British YouTubers.
About a month ago, Tyler Oakley (one of the vloggers I watch), tweeted about doing a collaboration video with a channel called JacksGap. I love Tyler's videos so I decided to check out this channel he was recommending. JacksGap is a YouTube channel run by Jack Harries, a 19-year-old British boy who started making videos in his gap year before college. As if that wasn't enough to get me hooked, after watching a few of Jack's videos, I quickly discovered he has a twin named Finn. Needless to say, I fell in love.
Jack's videos are silly and fun and he is just so gosh darn charming! He often has his brother Finn (he is even more adorable than Jack, if that was even possible) in his videos, as well as some of his other friends or relatives who make YouTube videos. If you want some fun, goofy videos to watch, or if you just want to see attractive British boys talking to a camera, I would definitely recommend Jack's videos! Through watching Jack's videos I have discovered loads of other British YouTubers who I am obsessed with, but they will probably get a post to themselves another time. Here are a few of Jack's videos! I hope you enjoy. Have a wonderful rest of the week and thanks for reading

I originally picked out another (lower costing) refrigerator, but decided that I was worth the little extra cost ($300) for something I really wanted. I loved the idea of the ice maker is in the freezer door, not the freezer itself. The extra space in the freezer meant that the freezer I would evidently need could be smaller and less expensive. This was an excellent choice for me.

Simply awesome. Refrigerator is very spacious. The stainless steel is very nice. The best part is its magnetic. Most stainless steal refrigerators aren't. If you have kids that have artwork to hangits a must have. The refrigerator makes a lot of ice. The LED lights are very clear and very bright. I highly recommend this refrigerator.

We purchased this item last summer because our old refrigerator was making a lot of noise, we thought the motor was giving out. I always wanted a side by side for the ice and water. The only complaint that we really have is that when the fridge is full, not over crowded but full the items on the top two shelves will freeze. We have the temperature set correctly according to the manual, we also have a thermometer on the top shelf that never shows the fridge being too cold. We always leave plenty of room for the air to circulate inside of the fridge but we still have a problem with items freezing. And guess I should mention the water that comes out of the door is not cold enough but other than that, we've been satisfied with this fridge. Thank you and God bless!

Man Struck by 6 Train at 23rd Street, Officials Say
By Nina Mandell on December 18, 2012 4:52pm |
FLATIRON — A man was struck by an uptown 6 train at 23rd Street Monday afternoon, causing service changes on the 4, 5 and 6 lines, officials said.
The man, who was hit just before 3 p.m., was pulled from beneath the train car and was rushed to New York Downtown Hospital in unknown condition, the FDNY said.
It was not immediately clear how the man wound up on the tracks, officials said.
Uptown 4, 5 and 6 trains were skipping the 23rd Street station following the incident, the MTA said. Because of an unrelated switch problem at the Astor Place station, uptown 4, 5 and 6 trains were running on the local track between Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall and Grand Central-42nd Street, according to the MTA's website.
The MTA advised riders to expect delays on the 4, 5 and 6 lines.

Principlism, medical individualism, and health promotion in resource-poor countries: can autonomy-based bioethics promote social justice and population health?
- Jacquineau Azétsop,
- Stuart Rennie
- … show all 2 hide
Through its adoption of the biomedical model of disease which promotes medical individualism and its reliance on the individual-based anthropology, mainstream bioethics has predominantly focused on respect for autonomy in the clinical setting and respect for person in the research site, emphasizing self-determination and freedom of choice. However, the emphasis on the individual has often led to moral vacuum, exaggeration of human agency, and a thin (liberal?) conception of justice. Applied to resource-poor countries and communities within developed countries, autonomy-based bioethics fails to address the root causes of diseases and public health crises with which individuals or communities are confronted. A sociological explanation of disease causation is needed to broaden principles of biomedical ethics and provides a renewed understanding of disease, freedom, medical practice, patient-physician relationship, risk and benefit of research and treatment, research priorities, and health policy.

Sports always came naturally to me, but academics were another story. I entered my freshman year at Western Michigan University as an average student and a walk-on on the track and field team.
To my surprise, that first year in college things went extremely well. So well that I earned a 3.6 GPA. I also went on to develop incredible relationships and obtain internships with top companies like Kraft Foods and Walt Disney World. That success left me determined to figure out how I did it and how other student-athletes can experience success as well.
The good news – I figured out the formula for student-athlete success and in my book I share everything I learned.
In Student Athlete 101, you'll find all the tools you need to get the most out of your college experience from day one on campus.
While I didn't become a professional athlete, I did go on to earn an athletic scholarship and become an All Conference athlete. More importantly, my success in the classroom, with internships and building relationships, led to the successful career I enjoy today. I even got a Masters degree from an Ivy League school.

Although tackling the subject of star wars is difficult, it is important to keep in mind the way that it was made- the way that it was hyped, and how George Lucas came to fame. Lucas had only released THX 1138, a futuristic dystopic film starring Robert Duvall; and American Graffiti, about American life. Although both the movies received mild success (and are more recognized now, post-star wars), undertaking the making of a movie on such a scale as Star Wars was unheard of. The lack of funding for the grandiose battles involved forced a society of over-creative special effects people (who are still among the leading special effects teams) that brought alive the imagination of people everywhere. The first movie's script was simple, and narrow in scope- we saw the federation, the death star, the emperor's involvement and young Luke learning his part in the galactic war. Simple concepts, recycled from so many other sci-fi stories, but with a certain life of their own that flourished as fans became hooked and created their own mythologies for the planets, aliens, and wars that occurred "a long long time ago, in a galaxy far away". Simple hooks in the movie brought fans in more - the cantina scene is one of the most memorable, and well done despite the lack of technology used to create it. The idea of the death star "That's not a moon, that's a spaceship!" was unprecedented and created a sphere of hate for which the American people could rally against. The use of Harrison Ford as Han Solo and James Earl Jones as the voice of Darth Vader spawned careers of two very successful actors and gave them iconic lines and style.
Despite the turn that Star Wars took later, when George Lucas was merely looking to make money off an already-established franchise, the original trilogy HAS stood the test of time as a bit of a masterpiece, and George Lucas will be remembered forever for this strangely interesting foray into galactic conquest.

Current Time
Fiji has a tropical climate year-round without great extremes of heat or cold. The summer season (DecemberMarch) has the most rain and greatest chance of cyclones, however. The most pleasant period to visit is from May to October, when the temperature hovers around 78 degrees.
Most international flights arrive and depart from Nadi International Airport, seven miles from Nadi Town on the west side of the main island of Viti Levu. A few flights within the Pacific region also use Nausori Airport, 12 miles from the capital of Suva. Domestic flights use both airports.

Buses serve the main towns and villages on Viti Levu and Vanua Levu. Among the major lines: Fiji Express runs air-conditioned buses between Suva (331-2287) and Nadi (672-2811/672-2821). Sunset Express runs buses (without air-conditioning) between Lautoka, Suva, Nadi, Nadi Airport, and Sigatoka (Suva: 338-2811, Nadi: 672-0266, Lautoka: 666-8276).
Taxis are also plentiful in the main towns of Nadi, Suva, and Savusavu using a meter system and are available in the smaller towns using a fixed price (check with a few locals to make sure you don't get taken for a ride).
There are several domestic airlines connecting the islands. Air Wakaya flies to the Wakaya Club (book through the Club). Turtle Airways (672-1888, www.turtleairways.com) operates seaplanes and can be chartered to any of the islands. Air Fiji offers scheduled service throughout the islands (from Suva: 331-3666/3055, from Nadi: 672-2521/672-3189, www.airfiji.com.fj). Sun Air does too (www.fiji.to, 800-672-5725). In addition, Island Hoppers (672-0410, www.helicopters.com.fj) operates helicopters between Nadi and the Mamanuca islands; and Pacific Island Seaplanes (672-5644, www.fijiseaplanes.com) can be chartered to fly to any of the islands. Ferries also connect several of the major islands. South Sea Cruises (675-0500, www.ssc.com.fj) operates fast catamarans between Denarau Marina, near Nadi, and the Yasawa and Mamanuca groups. Beachcomber Island Resort & Cruises (666-1500, www.beachcomberfiji.com) serves the same area from Lautoka, north of Nadi, and from Suva to Savusavu on Vanua Levu.
Rental cars are available at the international airports and major resorts, and driving is on the left side of the road (a leftover from Fiji's days as a British colony, which officially ended in 1970).

Entry Requirements:
Fiji does not require a visa for citizens of the United States. A valid passport is sufficient for a four-month stay.
International cuisine is available at restaurants throughout Fiji, but the locals pretty much only cook Fijian and Indian. Often hotels will treat guests to the traditional Fijian lovo feast of meat, fish, vegetables, and fruit, all slow-cooked in underground pits on the beach. Many hotels will do this one night per week, but unless it's a big occasion, they serve fiery Indian curries or Fijian delicacies using fish, coconut, taro, and cassava. For a new experience, try duruka (Fiji asparagus) cooked in coconut cream. Or, for the ultimate Fiji meal, spend a day spearfishing and enjoy your catch with miti, a thick coconut cream, onion, chili, and lemon sauce that accompanies just about anything from the sea. To wash it all down, try some of the potent South Pacific cocktails. If you are lucky enough to spend time in a native village, don't turn down an offer of kava. This ancient ceremonial beverage, once prepared by virgins, is an herbal remedy that relaxes and revives the senses and is becoming increasingly popular as a social drink.
Good Buys
Local crafts, still occasionally made in traditional villages, are the real deals on this island paradise. A kava bowl carved from wood or coconut is a favorite semifunctional memento. Other crafts, including filigree jewelry and woven mats, are all worthy of a once-over. And be sure not to pass up the abundant cultured pearls—in many colors—found at shops throughout the island. Of course, if you can't find anything else, there's always the duty-free shops selling the usual assortment of cameras, jewelry, booze, and perfume.
Like French Polynesia, Fijian hospitality industry does not encourage tipping, though you may make a contribution to an employee's "Christmas Gift" in appreciation of excellent service. Unlike French Polynesia, Fiji assesses a VAT tax of 12.5 percent on most goods and services, which they do not refund for tourists.
Did You Know?
Hairdressing was once an important art form and status symbol in Fiji. Important men would dye their hair and coax it into bizarre shapes up to six feet across.

The Finger Lakes
After enjoying a restful night's sleep and a gourmet breakfast at the 1795 Acorn Inn, it is time to explore our spectacular Upstate New York region. With everything from outdoor recreation to top-notch performing arts, there is always something to see and do in the beautiful Finger Lakes. To learn more about the Finger Lakes and assist you in planning activities during your stay, we encourage you to visit the following web sites: Finger Lakes Tourism Alliance, Finger Lakes Visitors Connection and Canandaigua Chamber of Commerce. New York Wine
The Finger Lakes region is known for producing award-winning wines. Famous for Rieslings and Gewurtztraminer, this is the second largest wine-producing region in the US. With more than 80 vintners producing distinguished varietals, there is sure to be something to satisfy every pallet. Go to New York's Wine and Culinary Center to sample New York's best, enjoy wine and food pairing classes or take a cooking a cooking class hosted by well know culinary experts. Be sure to book those classes well in advance. Shopping around CanandaiguaAntiquing is a favorite pastime here, in a place that is rich in unique shops to satisfy every collector's needs. Several quality antique stores are located less than five miles from the Inn in Bloomfield's Antique Country Mile. Quaint downtown shops and roadside stores offer unique wares to remember your time here or to find a gift for someone special. A favorite locally-produced souvenir is maple syrup. Stop by the Loomis Barn and Country Shops located in Rushville to witness a working sugarhouse and see maple syrup production firsthand. Malls and outlet stores are also abundant. Outdoors in the Finger LakesOutdoor enthusiasts will find plenty to do in the Finger Lakes. Boating, fishing, swimming, canoeing/kayaking and horseback riding are just a few. Take a hike or a bicycle ride along numerous trails as they meander through beautiful woodlands or along the lakes. Once at the 1795 Acorn Inn, guests can browse through editions of Take a Hike, Take Your Bike and Take A Paddle as well as 200 Waterfalls. These guides, by Rich and Sue Freeman, show where to go in the Finger Lakes and allow you to choose locations based on your skill level, time availability and many other factors. Golf is also popular here and a reason in and of itself to head to the Finger Lakes. Numerous public golf courses prove challenging enough even for the seasoned player while the spectacular scenery enhances your experience at each tee. The countryside is beautiful any time of the year, but there is nothing quite like the Finger Lakes region during the fall when hills, valleys and the lakesides are seemingly lit from within with the vibrant reds, yellows and oranges of turning leaves. A visit to the Inn isn't complete without a fall chairlift ride at Bristol Mountain to view the splendor from 1,200 feet. In the winter months, enjoy downhill skiing and snowboarding at Bristol Mountain Winter Resort where expert, intermediate and novice runs whisk skiers down the largest vertical drop between the Adirondack and Rocky Mountain ranges. Or slow things down a tad with cross-country skiing and snowshoeing at Cumming Nature Center. Culture & EntertainmentFor history buffs, a trip to Sonnenberg Gardens, the Granger Homestead and Carriage Museum and the Genesee Country Museum is a half day affair. For the photography enthusiast, the George Eastman House is a must. And, for those with an interest in glass, the Corning Museum of Glass is just a short one and a half hour drive. At the museum, don't miss the opportunity to blow your own glass object at the Artists' Studio. People who appreciate the performing arts will want to take in a performance at the Bristol Valley Theater. Or go to the Marvin Sands-Constellation Brands Performing Arts Center, an outdoor amphitheater where guests can enjoy the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra and musical performances by well known artists. Check out the upcoming season. Want some real excitement? Whether it's the mounting anticipation of three sevens lining up followed by the sound of bells and whistles and sirens or thundercloud of hooves pounding around the clubhouse turn, visit the Finger Lakes Gaming & Racktrack. Dining around Canandaigua
Dining choices vary from humble cafes to restaurants serving fine continental cuisine and everything in between. Regardless of your choice, most recommended restaurants are a short drive from the Inn. Enjoy a great meal in a historic building or hop aboard the Canandaigua Lady for a lunch cruise on Canandaigua Lake. If you love grapes, be sure to try a slice of the area's most talked about dessert Grape Pie. In the fall, visit the quaint village of Naples to experience the Grape Festival or stop by Monica's Pies year round. In the summer, there's nothing more enjoyable than taking a stroll along the lakefront while viewing art from local artisans. See the Chamber of Commerce web site for a comprehensive list of local festivals. Visit Niagara FallsNiagra Falls, the Niagra Falls Botanical Gardens and Butterfly Conservatory and Niagra on the Lake are an easy day's trip. See the Niagra Falls Tourism site for more information. Celebrate an anniversary, birthday or special occasion. Surprise your loved one by having flowers, candy or champagne delivered to your room. Gift certificates available. Whether you enjoy wine tasting or sailing across one of our beautiful lakes, we promise your stay at the 1795 Acorn Inn will be a wonderful, memorable experience. |

My brand new 2011 Focus Zetec 2.0 Petrol has an annoying squeak / rattle in the drivers side rear door when you go over any rough road surface.
My dealer is 160kms away, and I asked them to look for the reason during the 2000km after sale check, but noise remains.
They put some silicon on the seals, but it is no better.
This is my first brand new car, and this is disappointing, my 13 year old Peugeot 206GTi is quieter, and that is saysing something!
Has anybody had noisey doors and found an answer ?
I don't really want to have to drive 160km to the dealer if there is something I can try myself

With Yates already on the Squad, it does look like the Pats are ready to bring Patrick Pass in off the PUP list. What I do find interesting is that there has been no report of him actually PRACTICING. My understanding (which I am sure will be corrected if wrong) is that he would have been allowed to start practicing after the Bills game and that the Pats would have until week 9 to activate him to the active roster or to IR him. I wonder who the Pats will bring to the Practice Squad?
Willie Andrews return to health means he and Spann are the PR gunners and KR outside contain men, Iwuoma was superfluous and probably didn't show the CB skill set Collier and Pees are looking for. Barthelmes is harder to quantify; either he didn't show the desired progress or he is just first off to make room for bringing a man down or bringing in a new skill set (like CB).
If the spot is not opened up for Pass. They move will be telling... - if Graham will be out for an extended period they may look at a blocking TE... (Terry Jones worked out for the Pats earlier) OR - if Neal or Hoch are not healing it could be more O line help.... (Stevenson?) OR - it may also mean that Wilson is not getting healed and they need a Safety or a cover CB (Shulters, Carpenter, Strait, etc.) If there is a more perfect system than the NFL please let me know! Where else would the last roster spot be over analyzed.
That's the logical answer, but why clear a 53 spot for him? They are allowed to let him practice with the team for three weeks brfore putting him on the roster or putting him or IR.
Obviously saving a little more cap space. We'll beat you with 52! Glad to see the recent OL player off the practice squad. With Yates and Stevenson, there is plenty of depth. A developmental LB or DB is much more important - a future TBC or Je'Rod Cherry type. I also agree with the notion of a blocking TE. Pass is sort of superflous right now - plenty of running backs, kick returners, and midsize special teams guys.
Yes, but activating him for practice only does not require a roster spot to be free. He can practice for 21 days after coming off PUP before he either goes on the 53 or goes on IR. Until then they only need to clear a spot on the 53 if they want him to play in a game.
If Neal or Hoch are not healing, then they wouldn't cut an extra C/G if they were planning on bringing Stevenson up. They would keep Barthelemes around unless he didn't show improvement, as Box mentioned. If Wilson wasn't getting healed, then cutting Iwouma for Schulters or another Safety would make sense.
That's incorrect. From Miguel's page: Actually, based on what I've read elsewhere, that should be WEEK 6/9, not GAME 6/9. So the earliest Pass could begin practicing was the day after week 6, or October 16th. The LATEST he can be ACTIVATED and RETURN TO THE 53 is the day after week 9, or November 6th. So there is only a 3-week practice period where the player doesn't count against the 53 IF the player begins practicing on October 16th. 3 weeks is the MAXIMUM.

Frequently Asked Questions about Multiage Classrooms If multiage classrooms are so great, why don't we see them more often? Priscilla Pardini (2005) researched why multiage classrooms have been declining in recent years. She came up with three main reasons:
As far as multiage education being more work for the teachers, we are ready and willing to do the necessary work to create a learning environment that communicates to students: "Where you're at is an okay place to be, but not an okay place to stay." We will continually assess where our students are developmentally and nudge them forward. We do not see this as a burden, but rather as a privilege. Our goal as instructors is not to be a "sage on the stage" but to be a "guide on the side". In response to the third concern; Roberta Berry, superintendent of a school district where three of their four elementary schools offer multiage classrooms, reported "Students in the multiage classes perform as well academically as those in traditional classes while displaying stronger affective, social and leadership skills." Roxann once attended a conference where the CEO of Boeing spoke. He shared the top reasons for why Boeing had to fire employees. These employees were not fired because they lacked the skills to do their job; it was because they lacked people skills. They had difficulty getting along with co-workers and supervisors. It is our belief that schools need to not only address academic goals but also social skills and work behaviors. "It's very much a child-centered approach that assesses children's understanding and chooses curriculum pieces to fit their needs," says Sandra Stone, director of the National Multiage Institute, based at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff. "The emphasis is on the child rather than on the curriculum." Although that attitude can guide teacher practice in single-grade classrooms too, it's more likely to happen in a multiage setting. "If you're a 3rd-grade teacher, you tend to focus on, 'This is what I teach,'" says Stone. "If you're a multiage teacher, you focus on 'These are the children I teach.'" How do you teach 3 grades at once? We don't teach three grades of content at once. All the content themes (social studies and science) are rotated through three years. So in three years your child will learn all the social studies and science content in a typical kindergarten, first and second grade curriculum. With math and literacy, we focus on meeting individual student needs. We will not break into grade level groups. Our classroom emphasizes "Where you are at academically is a good place to be, but not a good place to stay." Continuous growth and development is the goal of our classroom. Even if we were teaching one grade level, our class would have a wide span of abilities - a multiage classroom simply plans for and actually celebrates the differences in learners. We build a strong community that honors individual srengths while addressing individual challenges. What are the benefits of this program for my child? There are so many to list - reading through our website, you'll be able to answer this question. One huge benefit is the consistency of having the same highly qualified teachers for multiple years. Your child and you will build a long term working relationship with our teachers and since we have more than one teacher, your child will benefit from our team teaching approach. Click here for a website with more FAQs about multiage classrooms. There are some questions specific to the school that answered these questions, but most of the content is very relevant to our school. Multiage References:

Avs prepare to take on Coyotes in desert
Posted By Mike Chambers On November 21, 2013 @ 4:24 pm In Game Day | 10 Comments
GLENDALE, Ariz. — Our online practice report looks at defenseman Cory Sarich returning to the lineup [1] after missing all the fun in Tuesday's 5-1 rout against the Chicago Blackhawks in Denver. Sarich has unquestionably been a leader on this team, a veteran guy many look up to. He's from the hard-working town of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, and proud of it. I visited the area with my son's squirt team a few years ago right before Christmas and we had a blast. We played four local teams surrounding the Regina area, and they treated the boys like NHLers. Ice-makes after warmup and every period, introductions etc., and most important — excellent young referees.
The Coyotes did not skate at Jobing.com Arena this morning and the Avs had an optional skate in which coach Patrick Roy and a few players did not participate. Besides news that defenseman Matt Hunwick will take himself and his $1.6 million salary back to the Lake Erie Monsters of the American Hockey League, it was a real quiet game-day morning. The Avs are carrying just 21 available players and D Nick Holden is the lone scratch tonight. Center Matt Duchene (oblique), winger Alex Tanguay (knee) and defenseman Ryan Wilson (back) are not on the two-game trip that concludes Saturday at the L.A. Kings. No morning skate at the Staples Center, by the way, because of a Lakers game during the day.
