Surprise industrial slump adds to India's economic woes
NEW DELHI (Reuters) - India's industrial output fell for the third time in four months in June, adding to pressure on new Finance Minister Palaniappan Chidambaram to move quickly and pull Asia's third-largest economy from its worst slowdown in almost a decade.
The manufacturing-led slump provided further ammunition to the slew of private economists who downgraded their growth outlook for India this week, citing the impact of a worsening drought on farming and political hurdles to economic reform.
Chidambaram called the numbers "disappointing," and said there was a need to remove supply bottlenecks and raise production across the economy.
"We intend to find practical solutions to the problems that impede higher production or output in the coal, mining, petroleum, power, road transport, railway and port sectors," Chidambaram said in a statement responding to the data.
Industrial output shrank 1.8 percent, dragged down by a deep dip in manufacturing, the data released on Thursday showed. The number was lower than a forecast of 1 percent growth in a Reuters poll and sharply lower than 9.5 percent growth a year earlier.
"Data will pile pressure on the new finance minister to jump start the reform process and revive investment interest, which is likely to be a key drag on overall growth heading into H2," said Radhika Rao, an economist at Forecast PTE in Singapore.
Capital goods, a key investment indicator that has shown growth only once in the past 10 months, slumped 27.9 percent in June, the data showed.
The Sensex edged lower on Thursday after the industrial output data. The index ended down 0.23 percent.
India's interest rates are among the highest in major economies and the contraction renewed c alls for the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to lower them at a September 17 policy meeting, setting up a potential clash as the central bank has been clear a rate cut will only happen if inflation eases.
"There is a strong case for the RBI to cut interest rates further at least by 50 basis points immediately so as to encourage investments," said R.V. Kanoria, president of the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry.
GDP growth faltered to a nine-year low of 5.3 percent in the quarter ended in March, with corporate investors deterred by the high interest rates and a policy gridlock. GDP data for the quarter ended June is due to be released on August 31.
Several economists this week cut their full-year growth forecast for India to around 5.5 percent -- which would be the slowest rate in 10 years.
On Monday, Chidambaram promised a stable and fair tax regime to regain investors' confidence, but sceptics said it would not be easy to put the economy back on a high growth path and stabilize government finances.
Economic reforms are stalled on fears of a political backlash to steps such as allowing foreign supermarkets into India, while a drought in some parts of the country makes it harder to cut fuel subsidies blamed for a widening fiscal deficit.
Manufacturing, which constitutes about 76 percent of industrial production, shrank an annual 3.2 percent from a year earlier. The sector has been knocked by shrinking exports to recession-hit Europe and slowing U.S. economy.
Auto, industrial machinery, electrical and electronic equipment and sugar production led the slowdown in manufacturing, according to the data.
India's exports fell 5.45 percent to $25.1 billion in June, after recording strong growth for much of the last year.
On Tuesday the government said it was considering lifting import taxes on sugar, a step that could reduce inflationary pressures that keep lending rates by commercial banks at more than 10 percent for a majority customers. But analysts said rising food prices would limit space for monetary easing.
The RBI remains a hawkish outlier among central banks -- China, Brazil and South Korea have eased monetary policy in recent weeks to bolster flagging economies.
India's industrial output data is volatile but is considered a barometer of GDP growth. May's figure was revised to 2.5 percent from 2.4 percent, the data showed.
The HSBC manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI), which gauges business activity at India's factories but not utilities, fell to 52.9 in July, from 55.0 in June - its biggest one-month drop since September last year..

Disaster aid expanded to homeowners
Disaster aid expanded to homeowners

Arab leaders appeared unenthusiastic Sunday at President Bush's address as he wound up his tour of the Middle East at a forum in Sharm el-Sheik, Egypt. Bush won only scattered applause after urging them to allow dissent, modernize their economies, and "trust their people to chart their future." He also declared that Iran must not be permitted to develop nuclear weapons.
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas reportedly has threatened to quit if "substantial" progress isn't achieved soon in peace talks with Israel. A spokeswoman for a senior Israeli attending the Sharm el-Sheik forum said Abbas set a six-month limit for moving the process forward. Abbas complained at the forum that Bush's speech barely mentioned Palestinian aspirations.
Gen. Than Shwe, the leader of Burma's military government, made his first reported visit to a relief center Sunday, two weeks after cyclone Nargis devastated coastal regions of the country. But despite the concerns of the World Health Organization and other international groups, state radio said there were no "incidents of any epidemic outbreaks" among survivors. A UN envoy was to tour one battered region Monday or Tuesday as part of an effort to plead for the acceptance of more international aid, and Secretary-General Ban Ki Moon announced plans to follow later this week.

The spread between yields on 10- year Australian government bonds and similar-dated U.S. Treasuries may decline to the narrowest since December, RBC Capital Markets said in a report, citing trading patterns.
Julia Gillard staged a political coup in June 2010 to become Australia's prime minister and clung to power two months later, assembling a one-seat majority after the closest election since 1940. Her biggest leadership test may come next week.
Reserve Bank of Australia Governor Glenn Stevens 's view that rebuilding flood-devastated areas won't stoke inflation doesn't diminish the chance that he will resume raising interest rates by midyear, economists said.
The Australian dollar fell from the highest since May as the central bank said Europe's debt crisis would "inevitably weigh" on global growth, fueling speculation it may hold rates unchanged until at least the fourth quarter.
Reserve Bank of Australia Governor Glenn Stevens will hold interest rates unchanged for the longest period of his tenure as a weaker Japanese economy slows exports and eases inflation expectations, money markets show.
Volatility in Australia's bond market is at a record high as debt crises in Europe and the U.S. threaten the global economy.
The Australian currency's surge to a record won't slow the economy and contain inflation as money market yields signal Reserve Bank Governor Glenn Stevens will resume raising interest rates.
Australian bond futures and New Zealand government debt surged after a drop in U.S. stocks yesterday spurred investor demand for the safest assets.
Reserve Bank of Australia Governor Glenn Stevens is poised to keep borrowing costs unchanged for the longest stretch since 2007 after the nation's record job growth slowed, money markets indicate.
Australia's dollar fell against the greenback after a report showed employers unexpectedly cut positions in August and the jobless rate increased.

Onstage the technicians continue to plug and unplug microphones. Concerned about the delay, marketing consultant Esteban Apraez briefs Blair and then rushes back to the sound board. A dot-com survivor and former intern at BMG U.S. Latin, Apraez's thin physique and smooth complexion shave about 8 years off his 26. The Cornell-educated Colombian American has been hired to coordinate the day-to-day operations of the Gozo Poderoso campaign. He too is wearing a bracelet given to him by Echeverri, this one bearing the word "poderoso" -- "powerful."
While Apraez sorts out the sound-system snafu, crossover consultant Deborah Castillero penetrates deep into the expectant crowd, gathering data on hard-core Aterciopelados fans for the street teams that will be employed by her company, Maracas Entertainment, in the top ten Hispanic markets across the nation. Meanwhile, wire-rim glasses perched on her nose like a college professor taking attendance, Los Angeles-based publicist Diana Baron notes which of the English-language journalists invited personally by her staff at d.baron media actually have shown up.
The go-to guy, the guerrilla marketer, and the power publicist are here tonight to enlist the support of the fourth estate. Trouble is, the Living Room has no raised stage; the only way for the media to see the artists is to stand on tiptoes and crane around shoulders. The seriously curious climb atop chairs, speakers, and windowsills only to be yanked back down by vigilant security. To make matters worse, Apraez continues to struggle desperately with the sound system. For the first half of the set, the levels are murky, forcing Echeverri's full-bodied vocals to compete with groovy samples, Afro-Colombian percussion, and down-tempo surf guitar.
Still, somehow, the singer's presence fills the room. She interprets the lyrics with gestures part sign language, part tai chi. Her hands swim across her shoulders, then frame her chiseled cheeks as she sings, "I unite what's mine and what's yours." Beside her Buitrago can barely be glimpsed at all, but the bass line that answers Echeverri's lyrical call rumbles through the bones of the tightly packed crowd. Then suddenly the sound clears up. Long-time fans cheer as they recognize a new electronic version of the band's 1995 breakthrough hit, "Florecita Rockera" ("Rock and Roll Flower Girl"). Echeverri seems to float over the heads of the euphoric crowd.
The press is smitten. The New York Times calls Aterciopelados "the closest thing to conference darlings" at SXSW, holding up the band as proof that "Latin America now holds many of rock's best impulses and best hopes." Time writes, "Language barriers don't stand a chance against this CD's powerful joy." Alternative Press Magazine crows, "You haven't heard sounds this vibrantly special since whales developed courtship songs." Rolling Stone predicts, "Aterciopelados are on the verge of worldwide huge."
One year ago Aterciopelados were so far from worldwide huge they were in danger of falling off the map. In the summer of 2000, the Colombian economy was in a shambles and BMG Colombia, the label that bankrolled the band's first four albums, was in crisis. Unemployment hit twenty percent, the peso plummeted to half its value, and gas prices soared to two dollars per gallon. Fans did not have a lot of cash on hand to buy CDs.
As part of a general reorganization, BMG Latin Region moved its regional headquarters from Madrid to Miami and shut down a number of subsidiary labels in South America. Aterciopelados manager Julio Correal began calling the Colombia office every day to ask what was happening with the group's recording budget. Then one afternoon there was no one to take his call. Poof! BMG Colombia had shut its doors, leaving Aterciopelados with a contract worth even less than a Colombian peso.
With no label and no budget, Echeverri and Buitrago were back where they started more than ten years ago, when they met through a mutual friend and formed the punk outfit Delia and the Aminoacidos.
But then, no Colombian had ever been a rock star.
Delia and the Aminoacidos had been a lark, a wild love affair. "We come from very different worlds," says Echeverri of her partnership with Buitrago. Although educated at the same bilingual high school that graduated current Colombian president Andres Pastrana, the bass player was raised in the working-class Barrio Restrepo and thrashed about in a hardcore band called La Pestilencia. The daughter of a conservative family who learned traditional ballads and boleros on her mother's lap, Echeverri saw in Buitrago the rough-and-tumble world she longed for beyond the tall gates and manicured lawns of the tony University of the Andes, where she studied fine arts. He taught her how to scream. She tattooed his name on her arm. The young lovers left their parents' homes to live together in a rented house in the colonial sector known as La Candelaria. "My family was hysterical," Echeverri laughs.
In the Eighties artists and students turned the narrow cobblestone streets and riotously colored quarters of the 500-year-old neighborhood into a bohemian playground. By the end of the decade, when Buitrago and Echeverri opened a small rock club inside their residence, El Baro quickly became the center of Bogotá's nascent rock scene. Covered with paintings by Echeverri's art-school friends, the tables and walls of El Baro formed a cosmic backdrop to Delia and the Aminoacidos' shouted covers of the Pixies and Jane's Addiction. "We were very amateur," admits Buitrago.

News and Events
The New Zealand Council of Christian Social Services (NZCCSS) has released the first of an ongoing series of reports that focus on the economic and social hardship faced by many New Zealanders. The reports are a mix of government data and feedback from community based organisations both NZCCSS member agencies and others.
"Christian social service agencies are at the font-line of providing support to those who are caring for vulnerable babies. They are hopeful that the Never Shake a Baby campaign will reduce the incidence of child harm in their communities," says Trevor McGlinchey, NZCCSS Executive Officer. "However, while this represents a good start we would like to see a wider roll-out of family focussed social services".
"NZCCSS is advocating for a family support strategy that will ensure all government and community organisations are contributing to building strong and independent New Zealand families," says Shaun Robinson, NZCCSS President. "The kind of multi agency support that has been announced for some hospitals should be applied more widely in health, school and community situations. If we are all pulling together to achieve strong and healthy children and capable parents we will quickly make a difference for all New Zealand families".
"NZCCSS members often work collaboratively with other organisations and know the power of a shared vision and a combined strategy", said Shaun Robinson. "We believe that now is the time for strong leadership at both community and government level. With this leadership and a shared vision New Zealand can begin to change its woeful record on supporting our families and keeping our babies safe".
NZCCSS hopes that the process for considering the next policy steps, following on from today's announcements, will quickly create this kind of direction.

Jury selection scheduled for DeRyke murder trial
by WILY/WRXX News Staff • October 23, 2013 • News
Jury selection could begin in six weeks in the case of a southern Illinois man who's accused of fatally stabbing his
7-year-old niece.
Online court records indicate lawyers will begin culling through potential jurors to hear the case of Justin S. DeRyke on Dec. 2.
But officials say the trial could be delayed and likely won't begin until 2014.
The 22-year-old is being held on $5 million bond. He's charged with three counts of first-degree murder for the slaying of Willow Long, who died in September near her family's Watson home about 100 miles northeast of St. Louis.
Investigators say DeRyke said he killed his niece to "put her out of her misery" after he says she fell and pierced her neck with a stick.

LA Thinks It's America's Douche Capital, Miami Begs to Differ
Categories: Flotsam
It's a fair question: Is L.A. the nation's douche capital? After all (and despite what New York magazine thinks) bottle service started here after migrating from the Asian-American club scene. And, yeah, Vegas is way douchey, but think about it: Where do those spiky-haired, Christian Audigier fans come from? That's right, Angel City. Miami? Puleese. Those douches got nothing on our douches. At least they're fit, tan and speak proper Spanish.Excuse me, Miami was recently ranked the fattest city in America in 2009, and this is honestly the first time we've ever heard anyone claim Miami speaks proper Spanish. Tourists from Spain can understand locals about as well as tourists from Iowa. Tan? Well, yes. You jealous?
Let's talk about the holy grail of douche credentials: bottle service. L.A. may have imported bottle service into America, but Miami has taken the fun-killing nightlife concept to its douche pinnacle. Just read this account from Miami Beach 411 in which Cameo promised a local a "special deal" of a bottle of vodka for $300 and then renegged. Our bottle service culture is so douchey that douches from all across the world come here just to partake.
You know, and at least most douches in LA have some aspirations, even if they are slightly douchey aspirations. Every LA douche probably has a head shot or an unfinished screenplay or some douchspiration that led them to LA in the first place.
Miami douches have no such illusions about their goals in life. They moved here to just straight up douche out 24/7. Wake up a douche, go to bed a douche, live a douche, die a douche. If they have any aspirations at all, it usually involves things that only contribute to the sacred douche lifestyle like party promoting or DJing.
Let's not forget that Miami is now home to the biggest douche in America, LeBron James. And we are goddamned douche-proud of it! LeBron James is such a big douche, he makes Kobe look like an altar boy, and we wouldn't have it any other way, douche damn it.
Granted, LA has a bigger metro population and may have more gross douches, but we're willing to bet Miami excels in douche density and average douche-ness. Douche bless this city.

Details of American Idol Live and the Ticket Luck value

2013 has been a unique year for the show as the top five positions were secured by female artists, with Candice Glover declared the winner eventually. The twenty three year old singer from Beaufort, South Carolina had auditioned twice before as well. For her third audition (in Charlotte) she performed the song 'Syrup & Honey' and finally got selected as a contestant. In her final solo performance during the Hollywood rounds, Glover sang the famous track by Alicia Key called 'Girl on Fire'. Among her many superb performances on American Idol, 'A Natural Woman' in the sudden death round of the competition stands out. The act won her huge critical acclaim and encouragement by the panel of judges. With increasing popularity and self confidence, the singer made her way into the semifinals and gave an extraordinary performance by singing 'Ordinary People'. Her Top 6 Week recital of 'Love Song' was named as the best performance in the history of the reality show.
Kree Harrison is another female finalist expected to perform as part of the American Idol Live tour starting in June. The gifted singer has been practicing the art from a very young age. Before trying her luck on American Idol, she had already been signed by a record label. On the reality show she stunned both the audience and the judges with her magnificent solo performance of 'Stars'. With many spectacular performances, she ended up as a runner-up on the show.
Angie Miller from Beverly, Massachusetts gave her American Idol audition in New York City. During the time of the audition she mentioned that she suffered from a hearing deficiency. For her first solo performance on American Idol she performed her own composition called 'You set me free'. The exceptionally fresh singing performance was met with lots of cheers and a standing ovation from the judges. Her YouTube channel has witnessed almost 3.7 million hits. She finished at third place of the competition.
Amber Holcomb, from Houston, Texas, is another female American Idol finalist. The singer came up with some phenomenal performances including 'My Funny Valentine' and 'I Believe in You and me', both of which received a standing ovation and immense praise from the judges.
Janelle Oredith Arthur completed the striking female lot of the 2013 Idol finalists. The singer was also a part of the season 10 and 11 auditions. However the third time she was not only able to attain a place amongst the contestants but she also left a strong impression on the mentors and the fans with her quality singing, which eventually earned her fifth place. Her most applauded performance on the show was that of Elvis Presley's 'If I can dream'.
With the addition of six more finalists, American Idol Live Tour is all set to feature the bundle of talents rocking city after city this year. So grab your American Idol Live tickets and enjoy the live spirit of the phenomena that is called 'American Idol'

Dr. Ali Moustafa Mosharafa Pasha (Arabic: على مصطفى مشرفة) (11 July 1898 – 16 January 1950) was an Egyptian theoretical physicist. He was professor of applied mathematics in the Faculty of Science at Cairo University, and also served as its first dean.[1] He contributed to the development of the quantum theory as well as the theory of relativity and corresponded with Albert Einstein.[2]
He was the youngest student in his class, but the most knowledgeable. He obtained his primary certificate in 1910 ranking first nationwide. At the age of 16 he obtained his Baccalaureate in 1914 to become the youngest student at that time to be awarded such a certificate. He preferred to enroll in the Teachers' College rather than the faculties of Medicine or Engineering due to his deep interest in mathematics.
He graduated in 1917. Due to his excellence in mathematics, the Egyptian Ministry of Education sent him to England where he obtained BSc (Honors) from the University of Nottingham, 1920. The Egyptian University consented to grant Mosharafa another scholarship to complete his doctoral thesis. During his stay in London many of his scientific researches were published in prominent science magazines. He obtained a PhD in 1923 from King's College London in the shortest possible time permissible according to the regulations there. In 1924 Musharafa was awarded the degree of Doctor of Science, the first Egyptian and 11th scientist in the entire world to obtain such a degree.
When he returned home he became a teacher in the Higher Teachers' college. When the University of Cairo was opened in 1925, he became an associate professor of mathematics in the Faculty of Science because he was under the age of 30, the minimum age required for fulfilling the post of a professor. In 1926 his promotion to professor was raised in the Parliament, then chaired by Saad Zaghloul. The Parliament lauded his qualifications and merits which surpassed those of the English dean of the faculty and he was promoted to professor.
He was the first Egyptian professor of applied mathematics in the Faculty of Science. He became dean of the faculty in 1936, at the age of 38. He remained in office as a dean of the Faculty of Science until he died in 1951.
Among his students was Sameera Moussa.
Over the 1920s-1930s, he studied Maxwell's equations and the special relativity and he had correspondence with Albert Einstein.
Mosharafa published 25 original papers in distinguished scientific journals about quantum theory, the theory of relativity, and the relation between radiation and matter. He published around 12 scientific books about relativity and mathematics. His books, on the theory of relativity, were translated into English, French, German and Polish. He also translated 10 books of astronomy and mathematics into Arabic.
Musharafa was interested in the history of science, especially in studying the contributions of Arab scientists in the Middle Ages. With his student M. Morsi Ahmad, he published al-Khwārizmī's book The Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and Balancing (Kitab al-Jabr wa-l-Muqabala).
He also was interested in the relation between music and mathematics and helped to establish the Egyptian society of music fans in 1945.[3][4]
He was the first to call for social reform and development based on scientific research. He was keen on disseminating public scientific awareness, and wrote several articles and books for the public about science in simple forms. He, further, encouraged translations into Arabic. He contributed in writing the Arab scientific encyclopedia and books on the scientific heritage of the Arabs as well. He was against the use of atomic energy in war and warned against the exploitation of science as a means of destruction.
He wrote 26 significant papers including theoretical explanations of natural phenomena. He wrote 15 books in relativity and mathematics. Among which is a book on the theory of relativity translated into English, French, German and Polish. It was reprinted in the USA. He produced around 15 scientific books about relativity, mathematics, atom and space invasion. His most important books are:
He died under mysterious circumstances on Monday, January 15, 1950. Press reports at the time suggested that he was assassinated by one of the Israeli Mossad's operations against prominent Arab scientists. International Scientific circles have never been so deeply moved at the death of an Egyptian scientist as they were at the death of the Egyptian genius Dr. A.M. Mosharafa. It was not surprising for Einstein, the greatest scientist of his time who was personally well acquainted with Dr. Mosharafa's genius and ambitions, to mourn him to the world as a great loss to science asserting that his name and achievements will never be forgotten. Albert Einstein in a confident tone said, "I cannot believe that Mosharafa is dead, he is alive through his researches. We are in need of his talents, it is a great loss, he was a genius. I used to follow up his researches in atomic energy, definitely he is one of the best scientists in physics."[5]

The first half of Breaking Bad's fifth season may have ended with DEA agent Hank (Dean Norris) finally connecting the dots about his meth-cooking brother-in-law Walter White (Bryan Cranston), but that may not be Walt's biggest problem.
Breaking Bad Finale: Is this "Czech mate" for Walt?
Throughout the AMC drama's run, Walt has counted on his partner-in-crime Jesse (Aaron Paul) to stand by his side through good times and bad — even if Walt had to manipulate his surrogate son in the process. But perhaps the most important scene in the finale was the one between Walt and Jesse, as they remembered the "good old days" and seemingly said their goodbyes."That last scene had a very bittersweet feel, a very nostalgic feel to it, for me and for our writers," creator and executive producer Vince Gilligan told reporters Monday. "There was a more innocent time on this show, and they are thinking about that. And what they're essentially saying is that those days are over and they can never be returned to."Indeed, at the end of that scene — during which Walt gave Jesse a duffel bag full of cash, his cut of the business even though Jesse walked away in the previous episode — Jesse revealed he'd been carrying a gun in his waistband in case Walt was looking to off Jesse as another "loose end." Although Gilligan concedes that Jesse still has a large role to play in the final eight episodes, he suggests a notable shift in their relationship.Breaking Bad's Anna Gunn: "I wouldn't underestimate" Skyler
"Jesse is coming into his own," Gilligan said. "The partnership does seem to be fractured; there's no repairing the fracture ... He doesn't trust his former partner as far as he can throw him. ... Going forward it's less about the assistant or the acolyte attending to the master or the mentor and more about [former] partners on an equal footing. They are very much closer to being equals than they've ever been before."Then again, will Walt even need Jesse? After all, once Walt saw the pile of money he'd made and realized his wife Skyler (Anna Gunn) had no reasonable way to launder it, he told Skyler he too was "out." Is this just another of Walt's masterful lies?"We can either take him at his word or not," Gilligan teased. "But I tend to believe, personally, he was telling the truth when he told her that. Have we witnessed him cooking his last batch? Hard to say. ... But it's looking like he's out of the business for sure."Breaking Bad: Walt's the new king, but for how long?
Perhaps hanging over all of Walt's recent actions, however, is the possibility that his cancer has returned. In the finale, Walt underwent a full-body scan, but the results of which were never revealed. Was there bad news that preceded Walt's change of heart with Jesse and Skyler? "We really try never to have a scene in our show that adds up to nothing," Gilligan said. "Every scene is important. [But] there were probably a lot of good reasons for Walt to walk into the kitchen and say to his wife, 'I'm out.'" Although fans are eager to see Hank's reaction to learning Walt's secret, Gilligan isn't promising that the final eight episodes will pick up right where the show left off. Given the season-starting flash-forward that takes place on Walt's 52nd birthday, Gilligan said to expect a time-jump at some point. And as for how it all ends, Gilligan still hasn't got that exactly nailed down. But he promises showmanship before all else."We are going to swing for the fences in these final eight episodes," he said. "We now have freedom, carte blanche to ... really go for it and that is what we intend to do."
And will Walt make it out alive or does he have to be punished? "He doesn't have to," Gilligan said. "People get away with murder every day. Someone in real life is getting away with murder as we speak. ... Walt could end no differently than that. He could get away with the whole thing."He's a bad guy," Gilligan continued. "But because he's smart and has worked hard and feels the things he feels so deeply, we grudgingly respect him ... Some days I'm rooting for him, some days I want to see him hit by a car. ... I guess the question more precisely becomes, 'How satisfying would that be? What would satisfy the audience at the end of it all?' [But] is the 'satisfying' way the right way?"Breaking Bad returns for its final episodes in summer 2013.

Micro-Vibration-Based Slip Detection in Tactile Force Sensors
Received: 5 November 2013 / Revised: 6 December 2013 / Accepted: 27 December 2013 / Published: 3 January 2014
(This article belongs to the Special Issue Tactile Sensors and Sensing Systems)
Abstract: Tactile sensing provides critical information, such as force, texture, shape or temperature, in manipulation tasks. In particular, tactile sensors traditionally used in robotics are emphasized in contact force determination for grasping control and object recognition. Nevertheless, slip detection is also crucial to successfully manipulate an object. Several approaches have appeared to detect slipping, the majority being a combination of complex sensors with complex algorithms. In this paper, we deal with simplicity, analyzing how a novel, but simple, algorithm, based on micro-vibration detection, can be used in a simple, but low-cost and durable, force sensor. We also analyze the results of using the same principle to detect slipping in other force sensors based on flexible parts. In particular, we show and compare the slip detection with: (i) a flexible finger, designed by the authors, acting as a force sensor; (ii) the finger torque sensor of a commercial robotic hand; (iii) a commercial six-axis force sensor mounted on the wrist of a robot; and (iv) a fingertip piezoresistive matrix sensor.

Having a Network Strong Enough for your Site
April 16th, 2012 by adminLots of businesses like dazzle their consumers and clients with a website that says everything about them. Most of the time these sites have special coding and cascading style sheets that all eventually fit together like some archaic jigsaw puzzle into a web experience meant to shock and surprise the viewer while drawing them in. While a website with all the bells and whistles sounds like it might be nice, some of these companies are not equipped with the proper business internet infrastructure and that can lead to trouble – especially on a network where so much is already going on.
Any number of tasks can be happening on a network existing parallel to all the online tasks that simply must be done and, of course, supporting a highly detailed and highly automated site. We're talking about people using their smartphones and iPads to log onto the network and do their thing or worker's streaming radio stations to pass the time during a particularly busy and stressful day. While most businesses find ways to block these services, some look to reliable network systems like xo and the like, which can really free up some space for anyone looking to conduct business without any needless slowdown and, sometimes, that can make all the difference in the world.

LG 55" 1080p Smart 3D Slim OLED TV
There's a head-spinning amount of information out there for someone weighing their next TV purchase. From LED, to Plasma, OLED and 4K Ultra HD, it can be a challenge sorting out which flat-screen TV is right for you and your needs. Let's take a glance at what separates LED TV from other formats and which TV is right for you.
You're going to be hit with a lot of numbers and ratios when comparing TV specs, but the most important figures you need to know are resolution (ie. 720p, 1080p or 4K), screen size (measured in inches) and refresh rates - how many images it can display on the screen in a single second - which can range anywhere between 60 Hz to 240 Hz.
Yes size does matter when it comes to HDTVs, whether it's LED, OLED, or Plasma. The standard rule is usually the bigger the better, but you need to consider your living space and its capacity. And don't forget that thing called money because the further you go up in size, the more it's going to cost you.
HDTV Buying Guide
Plasma first wooed home theatre enthusiasts with its self-illuminating pixels boasting superior colour reproduction and black levels, but LED – using efficient light emitting diodes – has made strides in these areas to the point where many consider the two almost on par. LED, however, uses less energy in its panel backlit system so you can reduce those power bills.
Plasma TV Buying Guide
An OLED TV takes your display to mind-blowingly thin levels and its organic light-emitting diodes (OLED) deliver incredible contrast and razor sharp clarity. It also has better viewing angles than the LED and Plasmas meaning you don't have to sit completely central to the screen to get a great picture.
OLED TV Buying Guide
While the majority of LED HDTVs on the market are boasting 720p (1280 X 1080) or 1080p (1920 X 1080 pixels) resolution, a 4K Ultra HD TV goes way beyond the ordinary by more than doubling the resolution at 3840 X 2160 pixels. With crystal clarity, a 4K Ultra HD TV gives you an amazing viewing experience that other TVs can't compete with.
In a world where content is king, a Smart TV expands your viewing possibilities exponentially with a multitude of built-in apps and connectivity options with your home network. You can stream Netflix, YouTube or surf the web right from a Smart TV, among many other multi-tasking features. A media streamer can be a more affordable external option, but you probably won't get nearly as many content choices as a Smart TV.
When even the biggest TV screens just aren't enough for you, it's time to consider a home theatre projector. This is where you go for larger than life images and total immersion into what you're watching.

Born | John Warnock Hinckley, Jr. May 29, 1955 Ardmore, Oklahoma |
Parents | John Warnock Hinckley Sr., and Jo Ann Moore |
John Warnock Hinckley Jr. (born May 29, 1955) attempted to assassinate U.S. President Ronald Reagan in Washington D.C., on March 30, 1981, as the culmination of an effort to impress actress Jodie Foster, reported to have been driven by an erotomanic fixation on her. He was found not guilty by reason of insanity, and has remained under institutional psychiatric care since then, though with progressively longer visits to the home of his parents.[1] Public outcry over the verdict led to the Insanity Defense Reform Act of 1984. This changed the role of mental illness in court proceedings.[2]
John W. Hinckley Jr., was born May 29, 1955, in Ardmore, Oklahoma,[3][2] and moved with his family to Dallas, Texas, at the age of 4. His father was John Warnock Hinckley, Sr., who was president of World Vision United States, and Chairman and President of the Vanderbilt Energy Corporation, and his mother is Jo Ann Moore Hinckley. He has two older siblings: sister Diane and brother Scott. Scott Hinckley later graduated from Vanderbilt University and became vice president of his father's oil business, while his sister graduated from Southern Methodist University in Dallas.[2]
Hinckley grew up in University Park, Texas,[4] and attended Highland Park High School[5] in Dallas County. During his grade school years, he played football, basketball, hockey, soccer and baseball, learned to play the piano, and was elected class president twice. After Hinckley graduated in 1973 from his Texas high school, the family, owners of the Hinckley oil company, moved to Evergreen, Colorado, where the new company headquarters was located (Hansell & Damour, 2005).[2] An off-and-on student at Texas Tech University from 1974 to 1980, in 1975 he went to Los Angeles in the hope of becoming a songwriter. His efforts were unsuccessful, and he wrote to his parents with tales of misfortune and pleas for money. He also spoke of a girlfriend, Lynn Collins, who turned out to be a fabrication. In September 1976, he returned to his parents' home in Evergreen.[6]
During the late 1970s and early 1980s, Hinckley began purchasing weapons and practicing with them. He also began taking anti-depressants and tranquilizers.[2]
Hinckley became obsessed with the 1976 film Taxi Driver, in which a disturbed protagonist, Travis Bickle, played by Robert De Niro, plots to assassinate a presidential candidate. The Bickle character was in turn partly based on the diaries of Arthur Bremer, the attempted assassin of George Wallace.[4] Hinckley developed an infatuation with actress Jodie Foster, who played a child prostitute in the film.[7] When Foster entered Yale University, Hinckley moved to New Haven, Connecticut, for a short time to stalk her. He enrolled in a Yale writing class,[2] began slipping poems and messages under Foster's door, and repeatedly phoned her.
Failing to develop any meaningful contact with the actress, Hinckley developed such plots as aircraft hijacking and committing suicide in front of her to get her attention. Eventually he settled on a scheme to impress her by assassinating the president, with the hypothesis that as a historical figure he would be her equal. Hinckley trailed President Jimmy Carter from state to state, and he was then arrested in Nashville, Tennessee, on a firearms charge. Penniless, he went home again; despite psychiatric treatment for depression, his mental health did not improve. He began to target the newly elected president Ronald Reagan in 1981 and started collecting information on the assassination of John F. Kennedy by Lee Harvey Oswald, whom he saw as a role model.
Hinckley wrote to Foster just before his attempt on Reagan's life:[8]
Over the past seven months I've left you dozens of poems, letters and love messages in the faint hope that you could develop an interest in me. Although we talked on the phone a couple of times I never had the nerve to simply approach you and introduce myself.... The reason I'm going ahead with this attempt now is because I cannot wait any longer to impress you.
—John Hinckley, Jr.
On March 30, 1981, at 2:25 p.m. local time,[2] Hinckley shot a .22 caliber Röhm RG-14 revolver six times at Reagan as he left the Hilton Hotel in Washington, D.C., after addressing an AFL-CIO conference.
Hinckley wounded police officer Thomas Delahanty and Secret Service agent Timothy McCarthy, and critically wounded press secretary James Brady. Hinckley did not hit Reagan directly, but seriously wounded him when a bullet ricocheted off the side of the presidential limousine and hit him in the chest.[9] Hinckley did not attempt to flee and was arrested at the scene. All of the shooting victims survived, although Brady, who was hit in the right side of the head, endured a long recuperation period and remained paralyzed on the left side of his body[10] until his death on August 4, 2014.
At the trial in 1982, in Washington D.C., charged with 13 offenses, Hinckley was found not guilty by reason of insanity on June 21. The defense psychiatric reports portrayed him as insane while the prosecution reports saw him as legally sane.[11] Hinckley was confined at St. Elizabeths Hospital in Washington, D.C.[11]
Hinckley, Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) number 00137-177, was released from BOP custody on August 18, 1981.[12]
The verdict resulted in widespread dismay; as a result, the U.S. Congress and a number of states rewrote laws regarding the insanity defense. Idaho, Montana and Utah abolished the defense altogether.[13] In the United States prior to the Hinckley case, the insanity defense had been used in less than two percent of all felony cases and was unsuccessful in almost 75 percent of the trials in which it was used.[11] In 1985, Hinckley's parents wrote, Breaking Points, a book detailing their son's mental condition.[11]
As another result of the verdict, federal and some state rules of evidence exclude or restrict testimony of an expert witness's conclusions on "ultimate" issues, including that of psychologist and psychiatrist expert witnesses on the issue of whether a criminal defendant is legally "insane."[14] However, this is not the rule amongst the majority of states today.[15]
Vincent Fuller, who represented Hinckley during his trial and for several years afterward, said Hinckley has schizophrenia.[16] Hinckley has been diagnosed with narcissistic and schizoid personality disorders and dysthymia as well as borderline and passive-aggressive features.[17]
Soon after his trial, Hinckley wrote that the shooting was "the greatest love offering in the history of the world" and was upset that Foster did not reciprocate his love.[18]
Around 1987, Hinckley applied for a court order allowing him periodic home visits. As part of the review of this request, the judge ordered Hinckley's hospital room searched. Carrying out that order, hospital officials found photographs and letters showing a continued obsession with Foster as well as evidence that Hinckley had exchanged letters with serial killer Ted Bundy and sought the address of mass murderer Charles Manson. Again the court denied Hinckley's request for additional privileges. After Hinckley was admitted, tests found that he was an "unpredictably dangerous" man who might harm himself, the target of his obsession (Foster), or any other third party. During 1983, he told Penthouse that on a typical day he will "see a therapist, answer mail, play guitar, listen to music, play pool, watch television, eat lousy food and take delicious medication".[19]
He was allowed to leave the hospital for supervised visits with his parents in 1999, and he was then granted longer unsupervised releases in 2000.[4] These privileges were revoked when he was found to have smuggled materials about Foster back into the hospital. Hinckley was later allowed supervised visits during 2004 and 2005. Court hearings were held in September 2005 on whether he could have expanded privileges to leave the hospital. Some of the testimony during the hearings centered on whether Hinckley is capable of having a normal relationship with a woman and, if not, whether that would have any bearing on what danger he would pose to society.[citation needed]
On December 30, 2005, a federal judge ruled that Hinckley would be allowed visits, supervised by his parents, to their home in Williamsburg, Virginia. The judge ruled that Hinckley could have up to three visits of three nights and then four visits of four nights, each depending on the successful completion of the last. All of the experts who testified at Hinckley's 2005 conditional release hearing, including the government experts, agreed that his depression and psychotic disorder were in full remission and that he should have some expanded conditions of release.[citation needed]
In 2007, Hinckley requested further freedoms including two one-week visits with his parents, as well as a month-long visit. U.S. District Judge Paul L. Friedman denied that request on June 6, 2007.
On June 17, 2009, a federal judge ruled that Hinckley would be given the ability to visit his mother for a dozen visits of 10 days at a time, rather than six, spend more time outside of the hospital, and have a driver's license. The court also ordered that Hinckley be required to carry a GPS-enabled cell phone to track him whenever he was outside of his parents' home, and he was forbidden to speak to the news media.[20] This was done over the objections of the prosecutors, who said that he was still a danger to others and had unhealthful and inappropriate thoughts about women. Hinckley recorded a song, "Ballad of an Outlaw", which the prosecutors claim is "reflecting suicide and lawlessness".[21]
In March 2011, it was reported that a forensic psychologist at the hospital testified that "Hinckley has recovered to the point that he poses no imminent risk of danger to himself or others."[20] On March 29, 2011, the day before the 30th anniversary of the assassination attempt, Hinckley's attorney filed a court petition requesting more freedom for his client, including additional unsupervised visits to the Kingsmill home of Hinckley's mother, Joanne.[22] On November 30, 2011, a hearing began in Washington that could result in his living full-time outside the hospital. The Justice Department opposed this, in the belief that Hinckley still poses a danger to the public, arguing that he had been known to deceive his doctors in the past.[23][24]
By December 2013, the court ordered that the visits be extended further still.[1]
On August 4, 2014, James Brady (one of the victims Hinckley shot) died, and his death was ruled a homicide.[25] It is unknown if Hinckley will face further charges as a result of his death.[26]
Hinckley's father was a financial supporter of George H. W. Bush's 1980 presidential primary campaign. Hinckley's older brother, Scott, had a dinner date scheduled at the home of the Vice President's son Neil Bush the day after the Reagan assassination attempt.[27][28] Neil's wife, Sharon, indicated in a newspaper interview the day after the shooting that Scott was coming to their house as a date of a girlfriend of hers, and that she did not know "the brother [John]" but understood "that he was the renegade brother in the family." Sharon described the Hinckleys as "a very nice family" and that they had "given a lot of money to the Bush campaign."[29]

Iran (word)
The name of Iran (Persian: ایران) derives immediately from Middle Persian Ērān, Pahlavi 'yr'n, first attested in this form in the inscription that accompanies the investiture relief of Ardashir I at Naqsh-e Rustam.[1] In this inscription, the king's Middle Persian appellation is ardašīr šāhān šāh ērān corresponding to the passage ardašīr šāhān šāh aryān in the Parthian inscription accompanying the Middle Persian one. Both mean "Ardashir, king of kings of Aryans".[1] Though in English the name Persia was once normal, Iran is today the preferred name.
The gentilic ēr- and ary- (in e.g. ērān/aryān) in the Middle Iranian languages of Persian and Parthian derives from Old Iranian *arya-[1] (in e.g. Old Persian: ariya-, Avestan: airiia-, etc.), meaning "Aryan,"[1] in the sense of "of the Iranians."[1][2] This word (i.e. *arya-) is attested as an ethnic designator in Achaemenid inscriptions and in Zoroastrianism's Avesta tradition,[3][n 1] and in Middle Iranian era (ca. 400 BCE - 700 CE) it seems "very likely"[1] that the word ērān in Ardashir's inscription still retained the same meaning as in the Old era, i.e. denoting the people rather than the empire while the empire was properly named as ērānšahr.[1]
Notwithstanding this inscriptional use of ērān to refer to the Iranian peoples, the use of ērān to refer to the empire (and the antonymic anērān to refer to the Roman territories) is also attested by the early Sassanid period. Both ērān and anērān appear in 3rd century calendrical text written by Mani. In an inscription of Ardashir's son and immediate successor, Shapur I "apparently includes in Ērān regions such as Armenia and the Caucasus which were not inhabited predominantly by Iranians."[4] In Kartir's inscriptions (written thirty years after Shapur's), the high priest includes the same regions (together with Georgia, Albania, Syria and the Pontus) in his list of provinces of the antonymic Anērān.[4] Ērān also features in the names of the towns founded by Sassanid dynasts, for instance in Ērān-xwarrah-šābuhr "Glory of Ērān (of) Shapur". It also appears in the titles of government officers, such as in Ērān-āmārgar "Accountant-General (of) Ērān" or Ērān-dibirbed "Chief Scribe (of) Ērān".[1]
Shapur's trilingual inscription at Ka'ba-i Zartosht also introduces the term ērānšahr (), "kingdom of the Iranians", that is however not attested in any other texts of this period other than in royal inscriptions (it is however preserved in post-Sassanid-era Zoroastrian texts[n 2]).[1] Because an equivalent of ērānšahr does not appear in Old Iranian (where it would have been *aryānām xšaθra- or in Old Persian *- xšaça-, "rule, reign, sovereignty"), the term is presumed[1] to have been a Sassanid-era development. In the Greek portion of Shapur's trilingual inscription the word šahr "kingdom" appears as ethnous "nation". For speakers of Greek, the idea of an Iranian ethnous was not new: In the 1st century BCE, Strabo had noted a relationship between the various Iranian peoples and their languages: "[From] beyond the Indus [...] Ariana is extended so as to include some part of Persia, Media, and the north of Bactria and Sogdiana; for these nations speak nearly the same language." (Geography, 15.2.1-15.2.8).[7]
The word is related to the Sanskrit arya, meaning noble, variants of which are found all over Europe and Asia such as ariya, ayya, aja and aga. This extends as far as Ireland, where the Irish Gaelic aire means lord or noble.[8] The most likely meaning is 'Kingdom of the Noble People' or 'Noble Kingdom' and the antynomic would be something along the lines of 'Barbarian Kingdom'.
Usage in the medieval Islamic period[edit]
The name "Aria" (etymologically equivalent to Iran) is also attested in this period. Hamza Isfahani (894-970), in his book History of the Prophets and Saints, mentions:
Aryan which is also called Pars is in the middle of these countries and these six countries surround it because the South East is in the hands China, the North of the Turks, the middle South is India, the middle North is Rome, and the South West and the North West is the Sudan and Berber lands.[9]
Hakim Meysari (born 935) wrote an important Persian treaty on medicine in verse, in the beginning of which he writes:
جو بر پیوستنش بر دل نهادم
فراوان رایها بر دل گشادم
که چون گویمش من تا دیر نماند
وُ هرکس دانش او بداند
بگویم تازی ار نه پارسی نغز
ز هر در بگویم من مایه و مغز
وُ پس گفتم زمین ماست ایران
که بیش از مردمانش پارسیدانوُگر تازی کنم نیکو نباشد
که هر کس را از او نیرو نباشد
دری گویمش تا هرکس بداند
وُ هرکس برزبانش بر براند
Translation: When I decided to compose works, many thoughts ran through my mind.
I wanted everyone to understand the knowledge I am writing.
I was undecided to write in Persian or Arabic
Then I told myself that our country is Iran,
and the majority of its people speak Persian,
thus if I write in Arabic it is not right,
because not every may benefit from that language,
Thus I will compose it in Dari (Persian)
So that people can understand it and recite it[10]
The name was also used for inhabitants. For example, the famous Iranian musician Safi al-Din al-Urmawi is referred to by Qutb al-Din Shirazi ((1236–1311)) as the wise sage of Iran. According to the Encyclopedia of Islam on Safi al-Din al-Urmawi:
" | The sources are silent about the ethnic origin of his family. He may have been of Persian People descent (Qutb al-Din al-Shirazi calls him afdal-i Īrān (A sage of Iran)).[11] | " |
Modern usage[edit]
During the Safavid era, most of the territory of the Sassanid empire regained its political unity, and Safavid kings were assuming the title of "Šāhanšāh-e Irān" (Iran's king of kings).[12] An example is Mofid Bafqi (d. 1679), who makes numerous references to Iran, describing its border and the nostalgia of Iranians who had migrated to India in that era.[12] Even Ottoman sultans, when addressing the Āq Quyunlu and Safavid kings, used such titles as the "king of Iranian lands" or the "sultan of the lands of Iran" or "the king of kings of Iran, the lord of the Persians".[12] This title, as well as the title of "Šāh-e Irān", was later used by Nader Shah Afshar and Qajar and Pahlavi kings. Since 1935, the name "Iran" has replaced other names of Iran in the western world. Jean Chardin, who travelled to Persia between 1673 to 1677, observed that both Iran and Fars were used concurrently:[13]
" | The Persians, in naming their Country, make use of one Word, which they indifferently pronounce Iroun, and Iran; ...Even to this very Day, the King of Persia is call'd Padcha Iran, and the Great Vizier, Iran Medary, the Pole of Persia. This is the Modern Appelation, the most in Use in that Country. That which they frequently make use of in the Second Place, is the Term Fars, which is the particular Name of the Province; the Metropolis of which, in ancient Days, was Persepolis, and which gave its Name to All Province of the Kingdom, and the Seat of its Monarch. This Word Fars, to signify Persia, is very ancient; and the Persians still call the Old Language of their Country, which was in use before the Days of Mahometanism, Saboun Fours, the Tonge of Persia. | " |
Since the Iranian Revolution of 1979, the official name of the country is "Islamic Republic of Iran."

- ^ In the Avesta the airiia- are members of the ethnic group of the Avesta-reciters themselves, in contradistinction to the anairiia-, the "non-Aryas". The word also appears four times in Old Persian: One is in the Behistun inscription, where ariya- is the name of a language or script (DB 4.89). The other three instances occur in Darius I's inscription at Naqsh-e Rustam (DNa 14-15), in Darius I's inscription at Susa (DSe 13-14), and in the inscription of Xerxes I at Persepolis (XPh 12-13). In these, the two Achaemenid dynasts describe themselves as pārsa pārsahyā puça ariya ariyaciça "a Persian, son of a Persian, an Ariya, of Ariya origin." "The phrase with ciça, "origin, descendance," assures that it [i.e. ariya] is an ethnic name wider in meaning than pārsa and not a simple adjectival epithet."[3]

Senator: Republicans Will Shut Down Government to Halt Obamacare
Submitted by meekandmild on Tue, 07/23/2013 - 14:57The question — are insurance premiums going to rise or fall when the exchanges mandated by the Affordable Care Act open for business — is the question of the hour, the question leading the debate that has surrounded Obamacare since the legislation's earliest days.
The answer to that question is, of course, unknowable until after the exchanges begin operating, but the lack of any clear data on the subject has made it easier for the legislation's opponents and supporters to answer the question as suits their respective stances best.
For example, President Barack Obama and White House officials have cited the figures recently released by New York State Department of Financial Services as evidence that the reform will decrease premiums. Speaking from the East Room of the White House, he said: "Just yesterday, state officials in New York announced that average premiums for consumers who buy insurance in their new marketplace will be at least 50 percent lower next year than they are today." He added consumers are "getting a hint of how much money they're potentially going to save because of this law. In states like California, Oregon, Washington, new competition, new choices, market forces are pushing costs down."

We recently purchased this car seat and a Britax Marathon for my husband's car as we transitioned our 13 month old out of her infant car seat (Chicco Keyfit). The recline positions are great, the seat seems very comfortable and it was easy to install. However, the downsides are that it is very hard to tighten the straps (which wasn't the case with the Keyfit) and their is no padding around the leg buckles. Hoping that when we switch to a forward facing seat it will be easier to tighten, until then there is room for improvement with this car seat.

News Release 375
High levels of atrazine detected in Drexel drinking water
Volume 38-375 (For Immediate Release)
Contact: Judd Slivka
573-751-1010 / 573-340-9DNR (9367) (after hours)
JEFFERSON CITY, MO, JUNE 23, 2010—High levels of the herbicide atrazine have been found in the city of Drexel's public water supply, the Missouri Department of Natural Resources announced today.
The maximum contaminant level for atrazine is 3 parts per billion. The amount of atrazine found in the most recent routine quarterly sample analyzed by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources laboratory was 31.2 parts per billion. The department is investigating the cause for this recent spike in atrazine levels and will be retesting the water and working closely with the community.
While this level is above the maximum contaminant level set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, that level is set based on long-term exposure. The Department of Health and Senior Services does not expect to see any significant acute health effects as a result of this monitoring spike. The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services recommends neither using the water for drinking nor using it to cook, wash dishes or to make ice.
Public water supply systems are required to test for chemicals four times per year. Atrazine and other chemical levels are tracked using a running annual average. This single spike in atrazine levels immediately puts the water system in non-compliance.
The Missouri Department of Natural Resources has been working with the Drexel Public Water Supply on compliance issues for several years. The Drexel water system is currently constructing a connection to the Tri-County Water Authority in Independence. The water system has signed an agreement to begin purchasing water from Tri-County by the end of the year.
Atrazine is a common herbicide used to control broadleaf and grassy weeds. Atrazine is mainly applied to corn crops, but is also used on sorghum, sugarcane and Christmas tree farms.
