US 4991587 A Abstract A patient (B) is disposed in a region of interest of a magnetic resonance apparatus (A). During an imaging sequence, changing magnetic field gradients and radio frequency pulses are applied to the region of interest. The changing magnetic field gradients induce a corresponding electrical response in the patient. Electrodes (40) of a cardiac monitor (C) sense the electrocardiographic signal of the patient as well as the electrical response to the magnetic field gradient changes and produces an output signal having a cardiac component and a noise component. The bandwidth of the noise component varies in accordance with the changes of the magnetic field gradients. An adaptive filter (80) filters the output signal to remove the changing magnetic field gradient induced noise. The bandwidth of the filter function with which the output signal is filtered is varied or adjusted in accordance with the magnetic field gradient changes. The magnetic field gradient changes are monitored (84), their rate of change determined (88), and the bandwidth of the filter function is adjusted (92) in accordance with the rate of change. Alternately, the magnetic field gradient changes are determined a priori from a knowledge of the imaging sequence. As the imaging sequence progresses, a look-up table (150) is addressed to retrieve preprogrammed filter function information for various views or stages of the imaging sequence.

Description This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. application Ser. No. 098,546, filed Sept. 18, 1987, now abandoned which in turn is a continuation of application Ser. No. 764,440, filed Aug. 9, 1985, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,694,837. The present invention relates to the art of non-invasive anatomical examination. It finds particular application in conjunction with cardiac and respiratory gated magnetic resonance imaging and will be described with particular reference thereto. However, it is to be appreciated that the invention may have application in other non-invasive examination techniques in which the examination is controlled, gated, or modified in accordance with anatomical motion. Magnetic resonance imaging sequences commonly include the application of a radio frequency pulse concurrently with a slice select pulse in order to excite magnetic resonance in a selected slice of the patient or subject. A phase encode gradient pulse is applied to encode phase into the resonating nuclei. Another radio frequency pulse is applied, either before or after the phase encode gradient pulse, to invert the magnetic resonance and cause a magnetic resonance echo. A read gradient pulse is applied during the echo to provide a second dimension of encoding in the retrieved magnetic resonance signal or view. Commonly, this sequence is repeated a multiplicity of times, each time with a different amplitude phase encode gradient in order to generate a corresponding multiplicity of differently phase encoded views. Anatomical movement, such as cardiac and respiratory motion tend to degrade the resultant images. The amount of degradation is related to the amount or magnitude of physiological displacement from view to view, the rate of movement, and the like. Various anatomical condition monitors have been utilized to control the collection, processing, or use of magnetic resonance and other noninvasive imaging data in accordance with physiological motion. See for example U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,763,075 to Weigert and 4,545,384 to Kawachi. A patient's cardiac cycle is normally sensed with electrocardiographic electrodes mounted to the patient's skin and connected by electrical leads with processing circuitry. In magnetic resonance imaging, the changing gradient magnetic fields induce an electrical response in the patient as well as in the electrocardiographic leads. This electrical response becomes superimposed on the electrocardiographic signal. Conventionally, the magnetic resonance field gradients were applied as square pulses. A square pulse is the sum of sine waves--predominantly high frequency sine waves. The frequency content of the noise induced by square gradient pulses was significantly higher than the R-wave portion of the cardiac signal, the highest frequency portion of a normal cardiac signal. This difference in frequency enabled the R-wave and the gradient pulse induced noise to be separated, e.g. with a slew rate filter. One of the problems with square gradient pulses is that they are relatively energy consumptive. It has been found that utilizing more rounded gradient pulses produces equally good images, but with significantly less energy. However, rounding the square wave pulses has reduced their frequency content. More significantly, the electrical response induced in the patient and leads by the rounded gradient pulses includes significant components that have a frequency in the same range as the frequency of the R-wave. The present invention contemplates a new and improved anatomical gating system which overcomes the above referenced problems and others. In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, a monitored cardiac signal is filtered with a filter function that is selectively adjusted in accordance with magnetic field gradients applied. In accordance with a more limited aspect of the present invention, the filter is selected in accordance with the view. Views with a large phase encode gradient are filtered more heavily than views with a small phase encode gradient. In accordance with another more limited aspect of the invention, the filter function is calculated in accordance with the magnitude of gradient applied. The filter function is controlled by monitoring applied gradient fields. Alternately, the filter function may be retrieved with a look-up table in accordance with the number or phase encoding of the most recent view. In accordance with another limited aspect of the invention, the bandwidth of the filter function is adjusted with the bandwidth of the noise. One advantage of the present invention is that the imposed filtering is adaptive. That is, the amount of filtering varies as needed for each monitored cardiac cycle. Another advantage of the present invention is that it facilitates the use of less power consumptive rounded gradient pulses in conjunction with anatomical monitoring and gating. Another advantage of the present invention is that it eliminates over filtering. Each cardiac pulse is filtered only to the extent necessary. Still further advantages will become apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art upon reading and understanding the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments. The invention may find form in various components and arrangements of components and in various steps and arrangements of steps. The drawings are only for purposes of illustrating a preferred embodiment and are not to be construed as limiting the invention. FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic illustration of a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus in accordance with the present invention; FIG. 2 is a diagrammatic illustration of the cardiac and pulmonary monitoring apparatus of FIG. 1; FIG. 3 is a diagrammatic illustration of the cardiac and pulmonary signal processing apparatus of FIG. 1; and, FIG. 4 is an alternate embodiment of the signal processing apparatus of FIG. 3. With reference to FIG. 1, a non-invasive examination apparatus A, such as a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus, receives a subject, particularly a patient B who is to undergo a non-invasive examination. An monitoring means 0 is disposed adjacent the subject and interconnected with a remote condition signal processing means D. The monitoring means monitors a preselected condition of the subject, such as cardiac and respiratory cycles or other anatomical conditions. An output signal from the monitor conveys monitored condition information on which a noise component attributable to changing non-invasive examination parameters is superimposed. The processing means D derives monitored condition information, such as anatomical motion and cardiac gating information from the received data. The processing means also filters the output signal with an adaptive filter function that is regularly readjusted during each examination to provide the most appropriate filter function for removing the currently induced noise component. The information is conveyed to the magnetic resonance imaging apparatus A for use in controlling the timing of the imaging sequence, the processing of collected resonance data, the collection or filtering of magnetic resonance data, and the like. The magnetic resonance imaging apparatus includes a main magnetic field controller 10 which controls resistive or superconducting main magnetic field coils 12 to generate a substantially uniform magnetic field longitudinally through an imaging region. A magnetic field gradient control means 14 applies appropriate current pulses to gradient field coils 16 to create gradients across the main magnetic field. The exact nature and sequence of the gradients is determined by which of the many magnetic imaging sequences is chosen. A radio frequency transmitter 20 generates magnetic resonance excitation, inversion, and manipulation pulses which are applied to a radio frequency coil 22. The gradient and radio frequency pulse sequences are conventional in the art. A radio frequency receiver 24 receives radio frequency magnetic resonance signals from the subject in the examination region. The resonance signals may be picked up by the radio frequency coil 22 or by localized reception coils (not shown). A reconstruction means 26 utilizes a two dimensional inverse Fourier transform or other known algorithm to construct an electronic image representation from the received magnetic resonance signals. Generally, each echo or other signal is reconstructed into one view, which views are summed into an image memory 28. Completed images in the image memory may be displayed on a video display monitor 30, subject to further processing, or archived on tape or disk. A magnetic resonance sequence control means 32 controls the timing with which the gradient field control means and the radio frequency transmitter apply gradient and radio frequency pulses in order to implement one of the conventional magnetic resonance imaging sequences. The timing or spacing between repetitions of the pulse sequence may be adjusted such that each sequence is taken within a preselected range of anatomical motion. Alternately, the radio frequency receiver 24 or the reconstruction means 26 may be controlled to discard data taken during inappropriate ranges of anatomical movement, subject such data to heavier filtering, replace such data with the average of adjoining views, or the like. With reference to FIG. 2, the patient monitor means C includes a first condition detector, in the preferred embodiment, ECG electrodes 40 for monitoring the patient's cardiac cycle and generating an electrocardiogram signal indicative thereof. The electrodes, which are attached to the patient in a known manner, pick up not only electrocardiogram signals but also electrical signals induced in a current loop including the patient's body and the electrodes by the changing magnetic field gradients. The output signal of the monitor thus has this gradient induced noise superimposed on the cardiac information. A second anatomical condition detector, in the preferred embodiment a respiratory cycle monitoring means 42, monitors the patient's respiratory cycle. The respiratory monitor is an air-filled elastomeric belt which expands and contracts with the patient's breathing. The expansion and contraction causes corresponding changes in air pressure that are converted into electrical signals indicative of the patient's respiratory cycle by a bridge circuit 44. A protection circuit 46 filters RF signals sensed by the electrodes, as well as limits the amount of current that would flow through the leads in the event of defibrillation of the patient. An amplifier 48 adjusts the magnitude of the cardiac signals. A slew rate limiting means 50 filters or removes high frequency components that are not normally found in cardiac signals but which are commonly induced as noise in the magnetic resonance imaging environment. A DC correction means $2 removes DC offset. The balanced bridge pressure to electrical signal transducer 44 includes a bridge circuit $4 across which an oscillator $6 applies a two kilohertz carrier signal. The carrier signal modulates the respiratory signal to bring it into a frequency range that is readily separated from the cardiac signals. A beat pattern or amplitude variation of the modulated signal carries the encoded respiratory cycle data. An amplifier $s amplifies the modulated signal and a band pass filter 60 removes noise and distortion signal components. A summing means 62 adds or combines the respiratory and cardiac signals with other superimposed noise to produce the output signal. A fiber optic transmitter 64 converts the output signal into an optical signal for generating a light or other non-electric signal. In the preferred embodiment, the frequency of light signals from a light source is modulated in proportion to the magnitude of the voltage of the output signal from the combining means 62 and conveyed along a fiber optic transmission line 66. With reference to FIG. 3, a light signal receiver 70 receives the light signal from the optic transmission cable 66 and produces a corresponding electrical combined respiratory and cardiac data with superimposed gradient noise signal. A low pass filter 72 and a high pass filter 74 separate the cardiac and respiratory signal components. Optionally, when other anatomical conditions are monitored or when the anatomical conditions are digitally or differently encoded, other signal component separating means may be employed. An adaptive filter means so filters the received cardiac signal with an adjustable filter function in accordance with the concurrently occurring view. A filter function changing means 82 adjusts the filter function of the filter means in accordance with the correspondingly changing gradient. The electrical pulses from the gradient field control means 14 to the x, y, and z-gradient coils are monitored and adjusted to an appropriate magnitude by differential amplifiers 84x, 84y, and 84z. A summing means 86 sums the three gradients to provide an output signal indicative of the total gradient applied. The induced patient voltage and the monitored noise component vary in proportion with the rate of change of the gradient field. Hence, the amount of noise superimposed on the corresponding cardiac signal also varies with the rate of change of the gradients. A gradient field rate of change determining means 88, such as a differentiator, determines the rate of change of the total of the gradient fields. A low pass filter 90 removes stray, high frequency components and a full wave rectifier 92 rectifies the rate of change signal to produce a filter selection signal whose voltage is proportional to the rate of change of the gradient magnetic fields. The bandwidth of the noise varies with the rate of gradient change. Hence, the rate of change determining means 88 effectively determines the bandwidth of the noise component. The filter function selected by the filter changing means 82 is selected or varied in accordance with the frequency components of the magnetic field gradient pulses and varies with the nature of the gradient field pulses applied by each individual magnetic resonance scanner. In the preferred embodiment, the signal processing is performed using analog components. Alternately, the signal processing may be performed on a digitized signal using digital signal processing components. Appropriate guidelines and mathematics for calculating an appropriate filter function for each gradient pulse is found in Oppenheim, Alan V. and Shafer, Ronald W., Digital Signal Processing, Prentice-Hall, 1975, or numerous other texts on digital signal processing. In general, the bandwidth of the filter function or the amount of filtering around the frequencies of the R-wave is adjusted in proportion to the filter selection signal from the filter selection means 82. When the rate of gradient change is large, the cardiac signal is heavily filtered to remove what is anticipated to be substantial noise. When the gradient change rate is relatively small, the cardiac signal is lightly filtered or not filtered at all because the anticipated noise components are relatively small. The filter selection means 82 varies the bandwidth of the filter function proportionally to the bandwidth of the noise. In this manner, the filter function is adjusted to match the bandwidth of the noise that is superimposed on the cardiac signal. In the preferred embodiment, detection of the occurrence of an ECG R-wave is based on the derivative of the ECG signal and three detection criteria. A derivative means 100 detects the rate of change of the filtered cardiac signal. A rectifier means 102 provides an output signal that is proportional to the rate of change and an indication of the polarity of the change. The first detection criteria consists of a threshold detector 104 which detects when the magnitude of the rectified signal from rectifier 102 exceeds a predetermined value indicating the imminent occurrence of an R-wave. Once the threshold has been exceeded, a second detection criteria consisting of a timing means 106 is started which is preset for a period of time during which a zero crossing of the derivative should occur. A zero window means 108 searches for the next occurrence of the derivative signal within a prescribed value around zero. An AND means 110 produces an output signal if a zero occurs as detected by the Zero Window means 108 within the time prescribed by the timing means 106. A polarity change detection means 112 receives the polarity signal from the rectifier means. Once the threshold detector 104 is enabled, the polarity of the derivative of the ECG signal is saved in the polarity change detection means 112. The output of the change detection means 112 changes to a high logic state when the polarity of the derivative of the ECG signal has changed from positive to negative or negative to positive. The output of the AND means 110 starts a third detection criteria consisting of a second timing means 114 which is preset for a period of time during which the derivative of the ECG signal must change polarity. A second AND means 116 produces an output if the polarity of the ECG signal changes polarity within the time period prescribed by the timing means 114 such that only the apex of the R-wave and not other portions of the cardiac cycle provide an output signal. The respiratory signal from the high pass filter 74 is separated from the carrier signal by a demodulator 120. DC correction circuit 122 establishes a Zero level for subsequent peak detection. A comparator means 124 provides logic high output when the respiratory signal is negative in polarity. A negative peak detection means 126 detects the negative peaks of the inverted respiratory signal and gates a sample and hold circuit 128 in accordance therewith. A multiplying means 130 reduces the sampled peak signal by a preselected percentage, e.g. 70%. A second sample and hold circuit 132 stores the percentage of the peak value when a one shot circuit 134 is triggered by a change in polarity of the respiratory signal from negative to positive as indicated by the comparator means 124. A comparing means 136 compares the present value of the respiratory signal with the threshold value from the second sample and hold 132. When the actual respiratory signal is less than the threshold, an enable or high signal is produced which allows data to be taken, accepted, or processed. When the actual respiratory signal is greater than the threshold level, a low signal is produced to block the collection of data or cause collected data to be discarded. This enable/blocking or respiratory gating signal provides a window within which received data may contribute to the resultant image representation. Optionally, data from outside the window may be filtered or otherwise subject to different processing and still contribute to the resultant image. A selector switch means 140 selects whether the monitor supplies the cardiac signal and the cardiac gating signal or the respiratory signal and the respiratory gating signal to the scanner A. Buffer amplifiers 142 and 144 amplify the selected signals which are transmitted to the sequence control means 32 or other parts of the scanner. With reference to FIG. 4, in a given magnetic resonance imaging sequence, the gradients which are being applied with each view are known in advance. Thus, rather than deriving the filter function adjustment on the fly from the sensed gradients, filter functions may be precalculated and retrieved in accordance with the most recently preceding view. That is, the sequence control means 32 may provide a digital signal indicative of the view number to a filter function look-up table 150. The look-up table is preprogrammed in accordance with the magnetic field gradients that are to be applied in each of the numbered views to designate the appropriate corresponding filter function. The corresponding filter function is retrieved from a filter function memory or calculating means 152. The entire filter function may be stored in the memory 152, selected filter functions may be stored, and others interpolated, or the guide lines for calculating the filter function may be stored in the memory 152. For example, the view number may be the most significant bits of the look-up table address and the least significant bits may be from a timing clock that is reset at the beginning of each view. The filter function retrieved from the filter function memory or source 152 is loaded into the filter means so and used to process portions of the cardiac signal that are received until the next filter function is addressed or designated. The invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiment. Obviously, modifications and alterations will occur to others upon reading and understanding the preceding detailed description. It is intended that the invention be construed as including all such alterations and modifications insofar as they come within the scope of the appended claims or the equivalents thereof.

jOBS biopic to release in AprilWhile the 2013 Sundance Film Festival attendees will get a chance to see jOBS at its closing night screening, the general public will have to wait until it releases in theaters sometime in April 2013. A specific release date has not yet been announced. Directed by Joshua Michael Stern who directed Swing Vote, and written by Matthew Whitely, the film will be covering Steve Jobs' life from the early 1970s through 2000. Ashton Kutcher with other actors such as Josh Gad and Dermont Mulroney will be starring in the film. Yes the same Ashton Kutcher who starred in That '70s Show and hosted Punk'd back in 2003 is the actor chosen to portray Jobs. I was intrigued when I first heard that they were making a biopic on Jobs, but then winced when I heard who was starring after pictures of Kutcher dressed like Jobs were released. After they released the promo art however, my opinion changed because Kutcher does look very similar to a young Steve Jobs. Hopefully his eerily similar looks will reflect well in his acting. We will have to see what the initial perception is after the Sundance Film Festival. [via Collider] Comments not appearing? Anti-virus apps like Avast or some browser extensions can cause this.

Hi everyone! My DD woke up this morning and is limping on her left leg. She wouldn't even stand in her crib and when I brought her out she noticeably had a limp. She's not crying and active and wants to play but when standing she won't walk and stands on her tippy toes. She's actually crawling and holding herself upright with support from table, couch, etc. I did make an appt this morning with her pediatrician. I'm nervous!!! Anyone deal with this before?

Sorry, I haven't dealt with it, but it may be a growing pain? I remember having terrible cramps in my legs when I was growing and it ached for days afterwards - like a charlie horse, but in the legs. Hopefully that's all it is, and a warm bath and some tylenol will fix her right up. Good luck!

Has she had a cold lately? My son was sick and it settled in his hips and he was unable to walk for a few days. Dr. called it toxic synovitis - its scary, but will pass.
also - maybe a leg stuck in the crib?
let us know how the dr appointment goes :)

Dedicated Diva
You're a hard worker, and you're all about challenging yourself. So what you need is a long, hard workout that'll leave you feelin' like you've earned every minute of that time in front of the TV later. Start off by running an easy half-mile to warm up. Then, run one mile as fast as you would for a 5k. Take a break for 3 minutes and 30 seconds. Run three more miles at that 5k pace with 3:30 rest time between each. Finally, close out with some core work. Do 4 sets of 15 push-ups, but switch up the types you do – try holding your arms out wide, or doing diamond push-ups by holding your hands close together. Then do 5 sets of 25 sit-ups. You can substitute planks, bicycles, leg lifts and other core exercises for regular sit-ups, if those get a li'l too repetitive.
In With the New
You can't stick to one topic for more than two seconds, and you're always flitting from one activity to the next. So try this speed workout that keeps your bod and mind racin'. Warm up by running slowly for 5 minutes and then doing 3 accelerations over a short distance to get your bod ready for goin' fast. To begin the workout, jog for 5 minutes. When your watch hits the fifth minute, pick up your pace a little bit and keep it there for 60 seconds. At the sixth minute, pick up the pace a little more and keep that going for 60 seconds. Do the same for the seventh, eighth and ninth minutes. By the time you hit your seventh minute, you should be going at about 75 percent of your full effort, and your ninth minute should be between 85 and 95 percent. On the tenth minute, slow back down to the original jog that you did in the beginning. Then do the entire routine two more times, so that you're alternating 5 minutes of slow with 5 minutes of fast for a total of 30 minutes of running time.
Chatty Chica
Gotta have someone to talk to while you're exercising? Get a bunch of your girlies together for this group workout! First, run an easy half a mile to warm up. Then, line up like you're playing "follow the leader." The first gal starts off running at a medium pace – comfortable, but still fast enough that you're all makin' an effort. After a minute or so, the last girl in line sprints up to the front, becoming the new leader. As soon as she makes it to the front, whoever is now last in line sprints up to be in front of her. Continue like that, with the last chica constantly sprinting to the front, for 25 minutes. And if at any time the line starts going so fast that there's a gap in it, make everyone slow down (except the current sprinter). Afterwards, have each girl pick a different type of sit-up and push-up for the group to do. Don't forget to cheer each other on as you go!
Safe And Sound
If you aren't big on the great outdoors, check out this machine-based workout to make the most of what you've got inside. Start out with a 15-minute warm-up on a stationary bike. Then hop on over to a treadmill, and run for 5 minutes at an easy pace. After that, set the speed so that you feel like you could keep it up for a while but wouldn't be totally comfortable. Raise the incline one degree for 2 minutes. Then, up it to two degrees for 2 minutes. Go back down to one degree for 2 minutes, and skip up to three degrees for 2 minutes. Keep switching the incline every 2 minutes, steadily climbing in degrees but alternating back down to one each time, until you hit 7 degrees. (The degree setting should look like this: 1-2-1-3-1-4-1-5-1-6-1-7.) At the end, do 10 minutes of easy jogging with no incline to cool off.
Not a runner?
No sweat! Apply these ideas to the cardio activity that gets you pumped, like cycling and rollerblading—anything goes!

Bulgaria's Prime Minister, Boyko Borisov, is leaving Saturday on an official, working visit to the US and a December 3 meeting with US President, Barack Obama, at the White House in Washington DC.
The delegation includes Borisov's Deputy, Interior Minister, Tsvetan Tsvetanov (who is in the US already for a series of security talks), Foreign Affairs Minister, Nikolay Mladenov, and Defense Minister, Anyu Angelov.
The Bulgarian PM is the first European leader to be accepted by Obama during his second term in office after his reelection on November 6.
This boast by the PM's press office is incorrect. Obama's second term does not start until Jan 20, 2013. Nice try but there is nothing "historic" about this visit. Except for a sitting US president to accept a mafia kingpin into the White House. Oh, forgot that has happened 100s of times! ;-)

Today GM Melik Khachiyan lectures on the imbalances of positional weaknesses vs activity and the initiative. In the end, it turns out white's strongest piece was one of the "little guys". The anchor on f6 allows white to infiltrate, and eventually create a mating net against black's King. Enjoy Melik's personal review of this battle against the former US Champ, and apply your new knowledge in your own games! | Watch video
Grandmaster Khachiyan continues his new video series on the subject of recognizing and then exploiting your opponent's sub-par positional (pawn play) understanding. Here we see his young opponent walk into a reverse Benoni, and Melik thinks: "this is bologna"! Pay attention to Melik's thought process and how it quickly led to a much better position for white (the Nh4-f5 and f4-pawn break being the key ideas). Enjoy! | Watch video
Today GM Melik Khachiyan begins a new videos series designed to show examples of exceptional, and sometimes not-so-exceptional, pawn play in chess. We start with a classic battle between Botvinnik and Keres in which the former World Champion "pioneers" the idea of the f3-e4 breakthrough in the Carlsbad pawn structure. Though black eventually trades the dark-squared Bishop, his passive play is punished harshly! | Watch video
Another Rook Ending video lecture by GM Khachiyan... another Super-GM blows a theoretical draw! This video lecture contains arguably one of the most practical lessons of your chess life. Understanding that not all Rook Endings are drawn when your opponent possesses an outside passer is perhaps even more important than knowing how to win the endgame. Pay special attention to black's King maneuver to c5... | Watch video
FIDE Master Kayden Troff earned his first International Master Norm with a thrilling victory over IM-Elect Roman Yankovsky... but this exciting game isn't the whole story. As Troff's coach, Melik Khachiyan explains -- the hard work was done off the board on a psychological level. Namely, the ability to forget about a previous loss that could have devastated Kayden's norm chances. Watch this exciting Benko Gambit game on pins and needles! | Watch video
In honor of the 4th of July, we decided to bring a little "fire" to our boards! When Melik's poor health led to poor results at this recent tournament, he decided to create a little bit of chaos on the chess board! He resorted back to a "pet line" for some good old fashioned fun against his opponent's King. Once his opponent's preparation ran out (after...Ne6 by black) it was an inevitable process of Melik outplaying his opponent with tactics and tricks! | Watch video
GM Khachiyan has so many talented students, and reviews so many of their games for our "viewing pleasure", that we decided to give the video series a name! Here you will see first hand what interesting analysis, practical lessons, and psychological insights are relayed from one of the America's best chess coaches (Melik of course) to his students. Try applying some of Melik's advice to your own chess, and learn to rebound from tough losses! | Watch video
Space... the "final frontier" in chess! These are the voyages of the Starship Khachiyan. His continuing mission: To outplay his opponents using deep positional planning, an understanding of the Caro-Slav Structure, and the prophylactic skills to never underestimate his opponent's plans. You will learn all these things and more in this episode of: "Playing with a Space Advantage - the Next Generation"! | Watch video
Today Melik reminisces once again about his old coach, recalling one of his more interesting battles with the "Magician from Riga". In Tal-Petrosian, USSR Championship 1958 we witness a "topsy-turvy" battle, jump started once again by a Petrosian exchange sacrifice. This game ultimately showed Tal's inexperience. Enjoy Melik's personal take, along with references to Kasparov's comments from the "Predecessor" series. | Watch video
Three pawns vs a Rook, and several blunders to go with it! GM Khachiyan continues today with another "quickie" filled with mistakes for your entertainment. It isn't all a laugh though, as Melik makes some very instructive insights into not only the psychology of such positions, but the "xs and os" that go with it. "Please don't put your King on the same file as your furthest advanced pawn", begs Melik. Listen to the man! | Watch video

If you are into the history of germany and its many sport accomplishments then this is a good place to have a look around
As huge sports fans we visited the museum expecting a much larger collection but this didn't mean we didn't enjoy our visit. We spent just over an hour looking and it was interesting to get the German take on a number of great sporting moments, such as the 1966 world cup final. There are a number of interactive activities given... More
Better for german speakers and not many interactive activities. Also not as big as we expected but not too bad if you're wanting to to get out of the rain.
My 3 sporty boys loved this museum and I learnt a bit too! There is lots to do and the museum is well laid out. Despite being English and this being German sport we could relate to everything. I suppose if I was being really pedantic I would say that I would have liked more information in English but this... More
I went here on a school trip, and thoroughly enjoyed it. I am far from sporty, but the woman giving us the tour was very happy to speak English to us and was eager and exiting and spoke to us perfectly (as a group of 13-14 year olds). There are lots of fun stations, including reaction times, history of sports... More
We took 40 pupils here aged between 13-15. It was an impromptu visit as the weather as appalling and e had to get out of the rain. Have to say though that I thought it was fab. Only 3 Euros to get in and it was great. Lots of sports for the pupils to try-weight lifting, running, long jump, cycling... More
I truly dislike giving museums low ratings, but this was just awful. I have to say, though, it was in part due to Lonely Planet Germany , who gave us an unrealistic expectation. LP Germany states that the museum is interactive, with bobsleigh and other such sports on offer. If you call maybe being allowed to sit in an old... More
It is a nice museum with quite a different concept to promote and encourage the talent in the field of sports . The museum is beautifully arrange with the medals and gears of the famous sports personalities of Germany who achieved at Olympics & international level. Very Good Experience.
Really cool museum! Even though I wouldn't consider myself as a sports freak ;) I really really liked this museum. It's interactive too.. At least when I visited which was quite a while ago. Anyways, you could test you own strength and speed and things like that. Definitely worth a visit!!
This museum is intended to be a museum for sports and olympics for Germany. It's not as extensive as one might hope, given the extensive sports history of Germany and its hosting of multiple Olympics but it is of interest to the sports fan. It is interactive and kids will enjoy that part--including a rooftop sports field. It covers sport... More

Em Good, Jennifer Westhagen, Christie Wilhelmy, Hannah Volkman, and Jill Lamberts defeated Miyo Konno, Kris Ikegami, Claire Bonin, and Jiyoung Lee 3-1 in a best of five series to take the women's state club championship. Joel Larway, Benj Guzman, Peter Sommer, and Chad Siefert took the men's by defeating Doug Kauffman, John Rasmussen, Liam Barksdale, Andrea Callegari, and Bill Rugen in a second playoff game after the three teams played a double round-robin to a three-way tie.
If you didn't play in this year's Holiday Spiel you missed a fun one. We had 32 teams with some old and new friends joining us from B.C, Oregon and California, plus we had some of the best holiday looks to date.
Brady Clark, Sean Beighton, Philip Tilker, and Darren Lehto took home $2,500 by winning the Seattle Cash Spiel on Thanksgiving weekend. The runners-up were Jeff Richard, Tom Shypitka, Jay Wakefield, and David Harper from Kewlowna.

Find My Car Smart is first Bluetooth 4.0 app for iPhone
Bluetooth 4.0 became official recently, and now the first app to use this technology has made its way into the app store. The app, Find My Car Smart, is part of a Kickstarter project from FMC Smart. If funded, the company will make a Bluetooth 4.0 module that'll sit in your car. When you park, the module will trigger the iPhone app, which, in turn, will mark your location. This information will help you find your way back to your car, even in a crowded parking lot.
Bluetooth 4.0 is the latest version of the wireless technology to hit devices. It's meant for low-power, sensor-filled devices like the car dongle above. The specification was only recently finalized, and consumer products using it are expected to debut in 2012. Once these products hit the market, Apple owners will be ready and rearing to go as Bluetooth 4.0 is already supported by the iPhone 4S, the Mac mini and the MacBook Air.

Perfectly located: right next to the liveliest district with lots of good shops and restaurants. Modern, clean. Friendly staff, great music in the reception.
i have staid at "khaosan kyoto" before and really like their new branch which just opened some days ago. compared with their other branch, which is also a great place to stay, "khaosan theater" has a lot of extras and tries to do some things a little bit different. i booked one of their special "kimono beds", a really cozy invention which looks like a cocoon made of out wood and kimono fabric and even comes with a shoji sliding door, a really nice idea. all facilities you might need are available as described on their website and the location is very convenient as well - just a walk from kawaramachi station. i would book this place again and can only recommend to check it out if you are coming to kyoto! くりす

Atmosphere - | 91% | Staff - | 96% | Facilities - | 96% | Safety - | 97% |
Location - | 94% | Cleanliness - | 97% | Value - | 95% |
This hostel is the best in Kyoto. It is close to the train station, main area (Gion) with temples, all transportation and it has free breakfast! We ate a good breakfast every day and were not hungry until dinner time! We also rented bikes both days for only $5 and we went everywhere. The only downside is that the rooms are a bit pricey for just a basic bed and sink, BUT it is very clean and the beds/showers are heaven! I recommend Piece Hostel without a doubt. Look at the map carefully before coming to Kyoto so you don't miss a turn finding the hostel.
"Why don't you marry it?" Said my brother, sick of hearing me talk about the Piece Hostel. This is the nicest Hostel i have had the pleasure of staying in. It is brand new and has fantastic amenities and interior design. The staff are amazing, friendly, bilingual, and caring. Piece leaves me wondering why anyone would possibly spend what they do on hotels with such an inexpensive room nearby.

Great location! It can be accessed by 2 major trains by walking, one is JR KYOTO station and another one is Keihan line. Also there is a big kitchen with two stoves and 3 fridge, making backpackers stay convenience.
Great modern common space/kitchen area. Rooms clean with a fresh feel. Some evening sessions such as calligraphy and origami for guests to try for free! About a 10-15 minute walk to Kyoto station where you can easily access trains and buses. Never had to wait for a shower or toilet as there are many on each floor.

The staff were very friendly and accommodating. We arrived very late and they waited up for us. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. The location is very convinient being very close to Kyoto central station.
Love the hospitality of the owners, they interact well with us and offer us information. Room is kept clean.

Clean, well organized and cheap for the area. Beds were comfy and the hostel is in good walking distance to a lot of sights, as well as good food recommended by the staff. The common area/kitchen is large.
It had a really nice living area, and the area in Kyoto it was in, was really quaint, and really easy to get to the main bar district! Plus the staff that actually worked there were helpful and adorable.

I liked owner's atmosphere. And also location was good for us 'cause we wanted to visit Kiyomizudera temple, so easy to go!

Was very impressed with this property. It is budget for Kyoto, with a semi traditional feel. It is a small room, futon on mats. But includes everything you could need. With knowledgable, English speaking staff. It was more than we were expecting for budget accommodation. It's simple, safe, in good walking distance from Kyoto station. Would stay there again. Thank you.
All staffs were so kind and answered to my question. Also, its facilities and atmosphere were so good. Especially, it was a good experience to stay at Japanese traditional house.

Probably the best atmosphere of any youth hostel I've ever stayed in. We absolutely loved it!
This tiny old Japanese house, 80 years, managed to squeeze in 4 bedrooms, 3 tatami rooms + 1 room with a bunk bed on the upper floor. Toilet and shower facilities, living area, kitchen and owners' tatami bedroom downstairs. It's a marvel how Hide can do this, so clean and so compact. Very nice family.

The rooms were bigger than expected (I mean it is almost European Standard and in general all apartments or hotel rooms are smaller than in Europe) and nicely furnished. My room was warm with nice room mates. I only stayed for one night and the hostel offered everything I needed. The location is perfect and I think in summer the roof top is very nice.
Really nice and comfy common room (they put a new rug and furniture in while I was staying too! :D), lots of dvds if you wanted to stay in, free tea and coffee, big sink and fridge. The 8 bed dorm was great. Spacious. Plenty of sockets (extension leads for charging electricals) and a balcony including a clotheshorse to dry clothes! Also - a roof to hang out on :) Right on top of the metro stop and Gion district and the river! (I walked from the main station in about 40mins easily)

Friendly, welcoming atmosphere. Great location, easy to find with email instructions upon booking confirmation. Clean and neat with dorm or traditional tatami rooms. Felt more like a home than a hostel.
