With victory in the 1000m, Carry Geijssen became the first Dutch speed skater to win an Olympic title. His result set the nation on the path to great success in the sport. A Dutch victory had been predicted in the event – but not by her.
Geijssen had won the Dutch All-round Championship in 1966. But others had taken the world championship titles, although she had finished third in the world earlier in 1968. Ahead of her, though, had been two compatriots. She may have been third in the world, but she was also third in the Netherlands.
The Olympic Winter Games, though, brings its own particular type of pressure. Favourites don't always prosper when the Olympic rings are above them, and at these Games a number of less-fancied competitors did well. It was a matter of who hit their top form at the right time – and Geijssen did just that.
She first competed in the 1500m. The favourite there was another Dutch skater, Stien Kaiser, who set the early pace. But her time was passed by an unlikely front-runner – Finland's Kaija Mustonen, who had never won a major international race before. Geijssen came near to beating the time, but missed out by 0.3secs to push Kaiser down to bronze, and secure silver for herself. Mustonen won the first, and as it turned out, only big race of her life.
The next day was the 1000m, where the Soviet Union's Lyudmila Titova set an imposing early target, with a new Olympic record as she skated in the third pair. Titova had recently won the world championship over 1000m and seemed a strong favourite, particularly when American Dianne Holum failed to beat that mark.
Geijssen was in the 13th pair to skate, and clearly encouraged by her strong silver over the longer 1500m distance. She matched the speed of both Titova and Holum over the early stages and then charged through the final few hundred metres to win the title by 0.3secs.
It was to prove the highlight of Geijssen's career. She never again won a major race and retired from skating before the next Olympics, but her gold medal proved the start of a run of great success for Dutch speed skaters. A day after her victory, Ans Schut would win the Netherlands' second gold in the sport.

Off Book is a new online series from PBS Arts. In their fourth episode, shown below, various web people explain online visual culture -- web videos, animated GIFs, and (ugh) "memes."

Here's another gem from How It's Made -- an exploration of a German pencil factory, using Californian cedar. I've always found it curious how we still refer to pencil "lead" although it's primarily graphite these days; the video explains that for these pencils, the "lead" is graphite and clay. It's impressive to see how the process is heavily automated, except for spot-testing by workers who hand-sharpen pencils and test them. I wonder what that job is like? Best part: around 4:30, when the pencils... READ ON
Now here's something special: a 35-minute documentary by Vivian Kubrick (who was then 17 years old) about the making of The Shining. Vivian was Stanley's daughter, and this documentary shows tons of behind-the-scenes material, as she follows actors through sets, performs interviews, and generally gives us a look at the creative process. Early on, we see Jack Nicholson psyching himself up before an emotional scene -- then the scene itself. It's downright scary how Nicholson works himself up. It's also... READ ON
So I'll go ahead and assume you're aware of King of Kong, the videogame documentary that chronicles an epic struggle to dominate the game of Donkey Kong. Kong was a surprising movie mainly because it was supremely interesting to non-nerds, even though its subject was nominally a video game -- and who wants to watch a movie about a video game, much less a super-old video game? Well, the short answer is of course that the film was about people who play video games, and these days, that category extends to... READ ON

Werner Herzog's latest documentary is about the Chauvet Cave, which is remarkable primarily for its cave paintings -- dating from the ice age, the paintings are surprisingly detailed, and some show a sort of "painterly" quality.

Key Features
About the Book: Finance for Executives: Managing for Value Creation
Ideal for both aspiring managers and experienced executives, the Fourth Edition of Finance for Executives: Managing for Value Creation illustrates the importance of financial information in maximizing firm value. Respected authors Gabriel Hawawini and Claude Viallet draw on their wealth of business and teaching experience to provide a concise, analytically sound introduction to financial management that is neither too simplistic nor too theoretical. In fact, the text masterfully balances a thorough exploration of modern finance principles with a strong practical focus on real-world applications and rigorous analysis, even while avoiding complicated formulas with little value for decision-making. Perfect for executive education courses, M.B.A. programs, or any class with an emphasis on translating theory into practice or learning through real-world cases, FINANCE FOR EXECUTIVES employs a strong problem-scenario approach to present key concepts within the context of realistic financial management issues that executives commonly face. In addition, a series of integrated case studies analyzes the same set of companies throughout the text to explore concepts in greater depth and reinforce learning. The new Fourth Edition maintains the text's highly reader-friendly structure and presentation. Because each chapter is self-contained, instructors can enjoy great flexibility in structuring their courses, while students will find the text an invaluable reference and resource to use throughout their careers. In addition, the current edition features extensive updates incorporating the most recent financial data and latest references, as well as a new chapter devoted to managing corporate risk, an essential topic for success in today's high-stakes business environment.

Hard to fully evaluate this place, but clearly, the wine aspect is first class. Otherwise a very unimposing place, kind of pool bar atmosphere, which is very comfortable, but probably unique for a Best of Award of Excellence place. Have dined here several times, and some meals are quite nice, others miss the mark. When that happens, I usually console myself with a kick-ass dessert wine. If you are in the area, definitely worth a try, and if not in the area, very hard to find.

Ralphie is one of our foster dogs saved from being euthanized at our local animal control shelter. He was surrendered when his owner passed away along with another dog, who quickly was adopted, leaving Ralphie quite abandoned and depressed in his kennel. Ralphie is a 9 yr old Rottweiler/Shepherd mix who is very friendly & happy and loves other dogs! We had his knees evaluated by our veterinarian and discovered that he has a torn ACL that needs corrective surgery. We have the appointment for consult lined up for him at the University of Georgia Veterinary Hospital and now we just need to raise the funds! The estimated cost of his complete diagnosis and surgery is $2,300. Repairing his knee will not only relieve much suffering, but will get Ralphie ready to be adopted out into a loving, forever home. We appreciate your support!!
Please go to fundraiser for Ralphie to contribute, and thanks!

Dr. Barber's research is conducted at the intersection of family sociology, demography, and social psychology, with a focus on teen pregnancy. She recently completed an NICHD-funded intensive longitudinal project, the Relationship Dynamics and Social Life study, that collected weekly data on 1,000 18- and 19-year-old women for 2.5 years, along with semi-structured interview data, observational data, and administrative data. The RDSL study identifies the types of attitudes, relationship characteristics, and contraceptive practices that affect early and/or unintended pregnancy. Barber also recently completed a William T. Grant Foundation Distinguished Fellowship, a mid-career opportunity to immerse herself in a practice setting – in this case a teen pregnancy prevention center in Detroit and a Planned Parenthood clinic in southeastern Michigan.

Two classic sociological approaches to poverty and social stratification are structural-functionalism and conflict theory.
The structural-functionalist approach to stratification asks the question: what function or purpose does stratification serve? The theory's answer is that all parts of society, even poverty, contribute in some way or another to the larger system's stability. Structural-functionalists maintain that stratification and inequality are inevitable and beneficial to society: the layering is useful because it ensures that the best people are at the top of the hierarchy and those who are less worthy are at the bottom. Those at the top are given power and rewards because of high abilities, and the high rewards exist to provide incentive for qualified people to do the most important work in high status occupations. According to this logic, inequality ensures that the most functionally important jobs are filled by the best qualified people.
The conflict-theory approach offers a critique of structural-functionalism. First, the critique asserts that it is difficult to determine the functional importance of any job, as a system of interdependence makes every position necessary to the functioning of society. Second, this approach assumes that the system of stratification is fair and rational, and that the 'best' people end up on top because of their superiority. But, according to conflict theorists, in reality the system does not work so easily or perfectly and there are barriers to qualified people ascending the hierarchy.
In contrast to structural-functionalists, conflict theorists argue that stratification is dysfunctional and harmful in society. According to this theory, stratification benefits the rich and powerful at the expense of the poor. Conflict theory assumes that those in high positions perpetually try to increase their wealth at the expense and suffering of those who occupy low positions. For example, many wealthy families pay low wages to nannies to care for their children, gardeners to tend to their yards, and maids to clean their homes. Conflict theorists believe that this competitive system, together with structural barriers to upward mobility ends up creating and perpetuating stratification systems. Conflict theorists hold that competition and inequality are not inevitable but are created and maintained by people. Meanwhile, structural-functionalists rebut that people do not always act solely out of economic self-interest.

Bear's Finale Music
View Single Post
March 24 2009, 09:51 PM
Re: "the music" was well used/explained IMO
Candlelight wrote:
Well, I was hugely disappointed with the music in the finale. It was way too subtle, bothing stood out unlike previous episodes such as Exodus Pt 2 or Revelations.
I really
hated the fact they used the 1978 music to help guide Galactica to her fate. This show has grown beyond the original. Bringing it back then only reminded us this show is borne from another show, and it was just unnecessary.
It felt like Bear had taken a break for this last episode. Really did.
couldn't be more wrong. You forget that bear has written in the old theme as the colonial anthem long ago, in season 2, and it appeared in the miniseries during the ceremonial fly-by scene.
The colonial anthem has become the galactica's theme. When ever we have seen her in a different way we have heard the colonial theme, such as in the razor flashbacks, the fly by, and then her end.
"its about the characters, stupid"
the style of the music that bear took for the entire show, was based off of characters having their own themes and rifts. At some points they become like a conversation in a song, As apparent towards the end of Blood on the Scales, where you hear the conversation between Geata, Zarek, and then Adama & co. aproaching the CIC.
Bear kept up this same style in this episode where he used characters themes, and themes from similar scenarios: Such as the shape of things to come, for the opera house with the final five them mixed in, Luara's religious / kobol theme at the fountain, and then the many starbuck rifts.
i think the score for the last episode follows grand finale, where in a musical finale they show what we have seen through out the entire score(s)/movement(s)
the score conects the ending with key moments of the rest of the series, and how they relate to eachother.

Drivers in the U.S. tend to stay within the speed limit range on most major highways, according to new GPS data from TomTom. The company crunched numbers from its Speed Profiles database, sourced from TomTom's Tele Atlas map business unit and a part of TomTom's trademark IQ Routes feature that tracks the average actual speeds of drivers on typical routes.
It found that even drivers in the fastest stages--Mississippi, New Mexico, Idaho, Utah, and Alabama--stayed either within or just over posted speed limits of 65 to 75 mph. This next bit is news to no one, but congested routes like I-95 on the eastern seaboard exhibit dramatically different average speeds in different sections, with the slowest being in Virginia, New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.
Interestingly, Montana was nowhere to be found in the top group; that state famously lifted all numerical speed limits in December 1995 and replaced them with "reasonable and prudent," and did things like issue $5 "energy use" tickets for anyone driving under 100 mph. That whole thing didn't stand up in court very well, so it was repealed four years later.

Blackpool have added another player to their squad ahead of the start of the Sky Bet Championship season with the arrival of Jacob Mellis at Bloomfield Road.
The 23-year-old, whose deal is subject to a medical, becomes just the ninth player on the club's books following a summer of upheaval.
Mellis has been training with the Seasiders for a couple of weeks and has agreed a one-year deal with the option for a further year. He made 33 appearances for Barnsley last season after coming through the youth ranks at Chelsea and he has represented England at various youth levels. "I'm happy to be here. I've been here for two weeks now and I've got used to the place," Mellis told Blackpool's official website.
"I'm looking to come here and be successful."
Mellis follows Tony McMahon, who was with the club last season, and Sergei Zenjov in agreeing terms with Blackpool following new manager Jose Riga's arrival in mid-June.
However, the Tangerines are still way short of fielding a full squad when their Championship campaign begins at Nottingham Forest in 12 days, and they still remain without a goalkeeper.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - The San Francisco Chronicle is joining an expanding list of newspapers taking dramatic steps to try to survive.
The Hearst Corp. says it will close or sell the Chronicle if it can't cut expenses within the next few weeks.
Hearst didn't specify a savings target or a deadline for wringing out the expenses, but management made it clear that widespread layoffs will be part of a cost-cutting plan.
Losses at the paper have been piling up despite previous job cuts and other austerity measures.
The Chronicle is also feeling the effects of the 14-month-old recession, coupled with more advertising options on the Internet.

Good morning all - I brewed a blonde a couple weeks ago...supposed to have been 1.041 @ 5 gallons. I got more like 1.045 @ 4.75 gallons. I didn't do anything before fermentation when I noticed this...I just capped it and let it do its thing. Now that it's done, I'm thinking I'd rather it be closer to what I wanted it to be. My question is, when I keg this, if I add a half gallon of water or so...would it be the same as topping off before fermentation? Or should I just leave it as is? Thanks
Once the beer is done fermenting, let it be what it is.

KELLY: British officials say their economy grew almost twice as much as expected for the second quarter. That's welcome news for a country dealing with painful budgets cuts aimed at reducing a record budget deficit. Today's numbers mark the fastest expansion in four years.
Still, the International Monetary Fund estimates the British economy will expand by only 1.2 percent this year. By comparison, the IMF predicts 3.3 percent growth for the U.S.

No introduction necessary.
A few days ago, I was able to ask Rock a few questions to preview the 2010 NBA Eastern Conference Finals between the Orlando Magic and the Boston Celtics.
One of the major storylines last year, and even this year, was the "what if" scenario, in which people wondered what the 2009 NBA Eastern Conference Semifinals would have been like had Kevin Garnett and to a lesser extent, Jameer Nelson, had been healthy. Given that the Orlando Magic and the Boston Celtics are playing well in the postseason, is there a chance we get to see the series that everyone wanted to see last season with both teams at full strength?
Oh, without question, this series is the one everyone wanted to see last year. And the fact that [Jameer] Nelson is playing out of his damn mind right now only makes it more interesting. Garnett, too, is on a roll, having destroyed the Cavs from the inside (when they put Antawn Jamison on him) and the outside (when they assigned Shaquille O'Neal). This series has a lot of potential even without considering those players' return to form. But yes, the fact that both teams are at full strength only sweetens the deal.

Single-shot real-time frequency chirp characterization of telecommunication optical signals based on balanced temporal optical differentiation
Optics Letters, Vol. 34, Issue 18, pp. 2742-2744 (2009)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (274 KB)
A simple single-shot frequency chirp characterization technique for telecommunication optical waveforms is introduced. The proposed technique is based on what we believe to be a novel balanced all-optical ultrafast differentiation scheme, and it enables a real-time conversion of the instantaneous frequency variation of an arbitrary complex (amplitude and phase) optical signal into a temporal intensity profile while simultaneously providing an efficient cancellation of the intensity noise. Single-shot real-time frequency chirp measurements of gigahertz-bandwidth phase-only and amplitude and phase temporal modulation waveforms are performed.

Why the name CSRHUB? A Rose is a Rose…
Names have important foundational significance, and like many (all?) startups, Bahar, Stephen and I agonized over our name, and bought numerous URLs. We actually began our business as EkoHub. Recently my partners at EKOS and I did a quick study of the names of CSR reports in the Fortune 100. Of 63 reports, about 49% are referred to as Corporate Social Responsibility or Corporate Responsibility, and 30% are called Sustainability reports (with many derivations on these terms). So for now, we're betting on CSRHUB rather than EkoHub, and moving forward as a hub for CSR ratings and information.

Experimental Characterization of a Flexible Thermal Slip Sensor
Received: 8 October 2012 / Revised: 2 November 2012 / Accepted: 5 November 2012 / Published: 8 November 2012
(This article belongs to the Special Issue State-of-the-Art Sensors Technology in Italy 2012)
Abstract: Tactile sensors are needed for effectively controlling the interaction between a robotic hand and the environment, e.g., during manipulation of objects, or for the tactile exploration of unstructured environments, especially when other sensing modalities, such as vision or audition, become ineffective. In the case of hand prostheses, mainly intended for dexterous manipulation of daily living objects, the possibility of quickly detecting slip occurrence, thus avoiding inadvertent falling of the objects, is prodromal to any manipulation task. In this paper we report on a slip sensor with no-moving parts, based on thermo-electrical phenomena, fabricated on a flexible substrate and suitable for integration on curved surfaces, such as robotic finger pads. Experiments performed using a custom made test bench, which is capable of generating controlled slip velocities, show that the sensor detects slip events in less than 50 ms. This response time is short enough for enabling future applications in the field of hand prosthetics.

Try asking your questions here and if you still need help, then write or call RCA on your nickel. At least that is the way I look at customer support for these low price consumer electronics. The low prices are great but we should expect limited customer support as a result. Chris |
