Haptic Feedback for Virtual Reality Grigore C. Burdea Rutgers University, CAIP Center, 96 Frelinghuysen Rd., Piscataway, NJ 08854, USA. tel: 1-732-445-5309 fax: 1-732-445-4775 e–mail: email@example.com http://www.caip.rutgers.edu/vrlab/index.html Abstract Haptic feedback is a crucial sensorial modality in virtual reality interactions. Hap- tics means both force feedback (simulating object hardness, weight, and inertia) and tactile feedback (simulating surface contact geometry, smoothness, slippage, and tem- perature). Providing such sensorial data requires desk-top or portable special-purpose hardware called haptic interfaces. Modeling physical interactions involves precise collision detection, real-time force computation, and high control-loop bandwidth. This results in a large computation load which requires multi-processor parallel pro- cessing on networked computers. Applications for haptics-intensive VR simulations include CAD model design and assembly. Improved technology (wearable comput- ers, novel actuators, haptic toolkits) will increase the use of force/tactile feedback in future VR simulations. 1 Introduction Virtual Reality has been defined as I 3 for Immersion-Interaction-Imagination [8]. The in- teraction component of this high-end user interface involves multiple sensorial channels, such as the visual, auditory, haptic, smell, and taste ones. The majority of today's VR sim- ulations use the visual (3-D stereo displays) and auditory (interactive or 3-D sound) modal- ities. Haptic feedback is now starting to get recognition and use in manipulation-intensive applications, while smell and taste feedback are at the stage of early research. Haptic feedback groups the modalities of force feedback, tactile feedback, and the pro- prioceptive feedback [9]. Force feedback integrated in a VR simulation provides data on a virtual object hardness, weight, and inertia. Tactile feedback is used to give the user a feel of the virtual object surface contact geometry, smoothness, slippage, and temperature. Finally, proprioceptive feedback in the sensing of the user's body position, or posture. Of the feedback modalities mentioned above, force feedback was the first to be used. It was integrated in a robotic teleoperation system for nuclear environments developed by Goertz at Argonne National Laboratories [14]. Subsequently the group led by Brooks at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill adapted the same electromechanical arm to provide force feedback during virtual molecular docking [4]. Later Burdea and colleagues at Rutgers University developed a light and portable force feedback glove called the "Rut- gers Master" [6]. Commercial force feedback interfaces have subsequently appeared, such as the PHANToM arm in 1994 [23], the Impulse Engine in 1995 [18] and the CyberGrasp glove in 1998 [29]. Furthermore, inexpensive haptic joysticks costing about $100 became available for computer game use in the late 90s. Tactile feedback use in VR was pionered by several researchers at MIT. Patrick used voice coils to provide vibrations at the fingertips of a user wearing a Dextrous Hand Mas- ter Exoskeleton [25]. Minsky and her colleagues developed the "Sandpaper" tactile joy- stick that mapped image texels to vibrations [24]. Commercial tactile feedback interfaces followed, namely the "Touch Master" in 1993 [13], the CyberTouch glove in 1995 [29], and more recently, the "FEELit Mouse" in 1997 [16]. Figure 1 summarizes this abbrevi- ated history of VR force/tactile feedback development in the USA. As can be clearly seen, there has been a resurgence of research interest and haptics interface products in the late 90s. Outside the United States, research on haptic feedback has been pursued in several countries, notably in Japan [17], UK [28], France [3] and Italy [1]. The remainder of this paper is organized as follows: Section 2 describes several general purpose haptic inter- faces, with emphasis on commercial products; Section 3 discusses the physical modeling required, and its associated computation/control load; Section 4 presents some application examples of haptics for CAD/CAM VR simulations; Conclusions and future directions for haptic feedback are given in Section 5. 2 Haptic Feedback Interfaces Haptic feedback interfaces comprise force feedback and tactile feedback devices. Force feedback interfaces can be viewed as computer "extensions" that apply physical forces, and torques on the user. The interfaces that are most used today are those that are desk-top, are easy to install, clean and safe to the user. When comparing force feedback hardware for a given simulation application, such as CAD/CAM, the designer has to consider several key hardware characteristics. These are the number of degrees of freedom, the interface work envelope, its maximum vs. sustained force levels, its structural friction and stiffness, its dynamic range, control bandwidth, etc. Sustained force levels are usually much smaller than maximum output force produced by haptic interfaces. This is especially true for forces produced with electrical actuators which will overheat. Friction needs to be small, such that the forces commanded by the computer are not "filtered out" by the interface, before they are felt by the user. Dynamic range is the maximum force divided by the interface friction. This a-dimensional number is a good measure of the quality of the force feed- back produced by a given interface. Finally, high bandwidths are important for short time delays and overall system stability. The most popular haptic feedback interface at present is the PHANToM family of arms, manufactured by SensAble Technologies (Boston, MA). As illustrated in Figure 2, each model has different dimensions, with work envelopes that progress from wrist motion up Year 1960 1970 1980 1990 Project Argonne Arm Argonne Lab.

The PHANToM has six degrees of freedom, and three electrical actuators, with maximum force levels up to 22 N, and sustained forces of only 3 N. Table 1 shows that the increase of work envelope between the "Standard" and "Super Extended" versions of the PHANToM results in increased friction and diminished structural stiffness. Another drawback of the PHANToM is its ability to apply forces to one finger only, and with no torques. The characteristics of the PHANToM make it well suited for point interaction mediated by a single virtual finger, or a stylus, or pencil. More dextrous manipulation of virtual ob- jects will require at least two PHANToM arms (one for the thumb and index, respectively), or the use of a haptic glove. The use of a haptic glove will allow the designer to pick up and manipulate CAD models, while feeling their hardness. Haptic gloves are useful for manipulation over large volumes, including simulating hard objects with no weight. Sim- ulating object weight would require adding a wrist force/torque interface, with reduced work envelope, increased system complexity and cost. a) b) c) Figure 2: The PHANToM Arm: a) Standard configuration; b) Medium; c) Super Extended [27] Reprinted by permission.

As illustrated in Figure 3-a, the CyberGrasp consists of a cable-driven exoskeleton struc- ture on the back of the hand. The interface is powered by electrical actuators capable of applying 12 N resistive forces to each finger. The exoskeleton attachement to the back of the palm allows full fist closure, but requires the remote placement of actuators in a con- trol box. This results in high backlash and friction, and reduces the dynamic range of the device. Even with the remote placement of its actuators, the weight of the glove is quite high (450 grams), which may lead to user fatigue during prolonged use. Table 2 summa- rizes the characteristics of the CyberGrasp, and compares them with the Rutgers Master II illustrated in Figure 3-b. This second haptic glove has a smaller weight, due to the use of pneumatic actuators with high power/weight ratio. The low friction of the actuators, and their placement in the hand provide for high interface dynamic range (300). Unfortunately, no complete fist closure is allowed. Some of the variables used to characterize force feedback hardware, such as work enve- lope, degrees of freedom, weight, control bandwidth are also used in the selection process of tactile feedback interfaces. In fact some force feedback interfaces, such as the PHAN- ToM can also replicate surface mechanical texture, or slippage, which means they can also a) b) Figure 3: Force feedback gloves: a) The CyberGrasp [29].

An example is the the FEELit Mouse produced by Immer- sion Corporation (San Jose, CA), and illustrated in Figure 4-a. This desk-top two-DOF interface enables the user to feel simulated objects, such as hard surfaces, rough textures, smooth contours, even rubbery materials. Its workspace is 2.5 1.9 cm2, and its max- imum output force equivalent is 1 N in x and y directions. The drawback is the limited work envelope, and the point/arrow interaction modality. Tactile gloves are more appropriate when the VR simulation requires dexterity (multi- ple contact points), freedom of motion, and information on object grasping state and me- chanical texture (but not weight). These gloves are lighter than force feedback ones, and typically use electromechanical vibrators to convey texture data. These actuators are small and can be placed directly on the glove. The co-location of actuators on the glove in places where tactile feedback is needed results in a simpler design, reduced weight and system cost. An example of a commercial tactile glove is the CyberTouch produced by Virtual Technologies Co., which is illustrated in Figure 4-b. Its weight is only 144 grams, com- pared with the 450 grams of the CyberGrasp. The CyberTouch uses six electromechanical vibrators placed on the back of the fingers and in the palm. These actuators produce vibra- tions of 0–125 Hz, with a force amplitude of 1.2 N at 125 Hz. 3 Physical Modeling Selecting the best haptic interface for a given application is only part of the developer's task. Just as important is the physical simulation component of the VR software. Realistic physical modeling software can enhance significantly the user's sense of immersion and interactivity, especially in manipulation-intensive applications such as CAD/CAM. Con- versely, poor modeling of haptic interactions diminish the simulation usefulness, and may even be detrimental (through system instabilities). Among the key aspects of physical modeling are collision detection, force and tactile feedback computation, surface deformation, hard contact modeling and others. Collision detection determines when two or more virtual objects interact, through touching or inter- a) b) Figure 4: Tactile feedback interfaces: a) the FEELit Mouse [16]; b) The CyberTouch Glove [29]. Reprinted by permission. penetrating. Such "objects" could be several CAD parts, or they could be virtual fingers grasping a virtual ball. The need to perform collision detection in real time, while simu- lating complex models, has led to a two-step approach. The first step is an approximate bounding box collision detection [8], which eliminates a lot of unnecessary computations. Once the bounding boxes of two virtual objects interpenetrate, then an exact collision de- tection is performed. Such algorithms use Voronoi Volumes [22, 11], or implicit func- tions [26]. Of special interest to the CAD community is the "Voxmap PointShell" (VPS) collision-detection algorithm developed by Boeing Co. [2]. This algorithm is specially suited to complex virtual models, with rigid surfaces, and a small number of moving ob- jects. In such environments VPS can detect collisions and calculate response up to 1,000 times/second! Interaction forces need to be calculated at high rates in order to satisfy the control re- quirements of haptic interface hardware. This usually means simple linear equations such as the Hooke's law. Figure 5-a illustrates the contact force modeling for compression and decompression of an elastic virtual ball. The two curves result from Hooke's law being applied to "hard" and "soft" virtual balls, for single point of contact [7]. When multiple contact points exist between objects, then Hooke's law forces are added according to New- tonian physics. Figure 5-b illustrates a more complex force pattern for a virtual push button with haptic click [27]. At the start of compression the user feels the virtual spring inside the button, and the force increases linearly. At a certain compression threshold the spring is disengaged and the force drops to a very small value, due to static friction. If the user continues to press, the force grows very quickly to the maximum output force of the haptic interface, resulting in a haptic click. In CAD applications physical modeling has to account for objects (such as assembly parts) which are neither elastic nor plastic. Real steel parts do not deform under normal manipulation forces, and haptic interfaces need to produce an instantaneous and very large contact force. If a simple Hooke's law is used, the virtual steel part will not feel real be- cause of the limited stiffness of today interfaces. Furthermore, instabilities may result, due to the digital control of the interface, which produces sample-and-hold artifacts [12]. The solution is then to add a dissipative term, such as a directional damper, to the Hooke's law. Surface mechanical texture, or smoothness, is another important component of phys- ical modeling in VR. The tactile interface can then let the user feel if the surface of the manipulated object is smooth, rough, bumpy, etc. One approach is to use local surface gra- Feedback Feedback Forces Forces Hard ball Push Button compression relaxation Soft ball Deformation Deformation a) b) Figure 5: Contact force modeling: a) Elastic deformation using Hooke's law[7] c Edi- tions Hermes.

Small feedback forces are then propor- tional to the height of the surface "hills." Another approach, taken by the GHOST haptic library used by the PHANToM, is to use sinusoidal functions [27]. Thus vibrations pro- portional with the surface roughness are overimposed on the force-feedback signal. This approach can be used by any high-bandwidth haptic interface. 4 Application Examples A comprehensive survey of haptic feedback applications in VR can be found in [9]. Space constraints limit our discussion in this paper to CAD/CAM applications. The CAD con- cept stage design process focuses on overall functionality, and is typically done today with pencil and paper [21]. Chu and his colleagues at University of Wisconsin-Madison devel- oped a multimodal VR interface for the generation, modification and review of part and assembly design [10]. Input to the system was through hand gestures (measured by sens- ing gloves), voice commands and eye tracking. Output from the simulation was through visual feedback (graphics), auditory feedback (voice synthesis) and tactile feedback (al- lowing the user to feel the parts he was designing). Subjective human factors studies were conducted to evaluate the usefulness of these interaction modalities in various combina- tions. Results showed voice and gesture input to be superior to eye tracking, while visual output was the most important output modality for shape design. The researchers noted a lack of reliable force feedback technology that may be used in CAD design. Gupta at Schlumberger in collaboration with Sheridan and Whitney at MIT developed a CAD assembly simulation [15]. A pair of PHANToM force feedback interfaces were used by designers to grasp the part being designed with the thumb and index and feel re- sistance due to contact forces. The multimodal simulation incorporated speech and finger position inputs with visual, auditory and force feedback. Experiments comparing handling and insertion assembly times in real and virtual worlds showed that force feedback was beneficial in terms of task efficiency. Jayaram and his colleagues at Washington State University developed the Virtual As- Figure 6: Virtual assembly simulation with constrained motion and force feedback [20]. c IEEE 1999. Reprinted by permission. sembly Design Environment (VADE). The system allowed engineers to design using a parametric CAD system, and automatically export data to an immersive virtual environ- ment. In the virtual environment, the designer was presented with an assembly scene, as illustrated in Figure 6 [19, 20]. The user performed the assembly in VR and generated de- sign information which was then automatically fed back to the parametric CAD system. A CyberGrasp haptic interface, modified for portability, is now being integrated in order to provide grasping forces to the user. 5 Conclusion and Future Directions It is hoped that this brief discussion gave the reader a feel for the complexities and benefits of haptic interface in VR simulation, especially as they relate to CAD/CAM applications. While the need for haptics has become clear in recent years [5], the technology is not fully developed. We need interfaces that are powerful, yet light and unobstructive. This in turn requires novel actuators of the type that do not exist today. Distributed computation on multiple processors and multiple computers will become widespread, especially as higher bandwidth networks become common. This in turn will allow haptics to be added to to- day's web modalities of sight and sound. Once the hardware problems are solved, more and more work will be dedicated to making simulations more realistic. This will require significant human-factors studies for iterative design and validation. Haptics will also re- quire more of the third I in VR, Imagination.

Earle at his best.,
This review is from: Train a Comin' (Audio CD)
As some of the other reviewers have mentioned this album often gets overlooked along side other Earle favourites, however it is one of the best albums I've ever heard, by any artist. The songs are pure genius and the delivery (all acoustic) sounds like 5 or 6 great musicians sitting down and playing live together, an absolute classic!

With a large clean room and a constant sea breeze we were very comfortable for two nights. The staff was very friendly and the restaurant was quite good for breakfast and dinner. Wel located and scenic this is a good place to stay.

We drove into Belize City from Mexico, looking for a decent hotel for one night before we took the boat taxi to Caye Caulker. Luckily we found Chateau Caribbean listed in our Lonely Planet Guide and got a room for $100 a night. The Hotels near by are all $250-$300 USD for a night!!! We were able to leave our... More
very charming place, I like that they've kept its traditional style. good location and staff are so friendly and helpful. Spacious rooms and bed. Do check your rooms for Mosquitos before you go to bed. Loved the creaky floorboards!
If you want a regular big name hotel do not stay here. If you want lots of character, uneven floors, crooked base boards and more, then enjoy this hotel which was originally a Doctors residence with a maternity ward added on. Yes it is a little shabby but we enjoyed the old world charm of it. The staff were exceptionally... More
I stayed there in 2014 i went to a business trip and i found this hotel not good at all but the service and the privacy of the rooms is good..another thing about this hotel is that its location is a totally success if you are in belize for fun reasons..
I wanted to like this place but it's pretty sad. I Think it's past saving- I'm sure it was gorgeous at one time but not anymore. We only stayed 1 night, I really didn't even want to stay but we did. I Will give props to the staff though- they were more than just helpful we enjoyed talking to them... More
I'll get my review started by saying that the only reason I return to this hotel is because of the staff. It is amazing at how many friendships you can make with the workers and how they remember your name and everything about you even if there has been a year in between stays. Some of the best service you... More
We stayed at Chateau Caribbean for two nights in January, 2015. The location of the hotel was wonderful (walking distance to museums, historical sites, and an outdoor market), and the ocean view was great. However, this hotel was extremely disappointing overall. Upon entering the hotel, it is clear that upkeep and cleanliness are lacking. The place was extremely run down,... More
We stayed here two nights. We had a room on the second floor overlooking the sea. We found our room to be clean and comfortable. The staff was very friendly. We enjoyed hanging out on the porch overlooking the sea and relaxing. We had drinks at the bar and breakfast at the restaurant. Both experiences were good with friendly service.... More
I recently stayed at the Chateau Carribean in Belize City and really liked the 4th floor room with its faded grandeur and spacious rooms looking out towards the ocean. Unfortunately, they had bed bugs in the beds, and while they did try offering us rooms on a lower floor, we were unimpressed as they were small, dated and not totally... More

PoliticsSyria and Iran top France-Saudi talks French president backs transition government for Syria and calls Iran's nuclear ambitions a "threat" to the region. 04 Nov 2012 21:22 GMT | Politics, Middle East, France, Iran, Lebanon Hollande told reporters his visit to Saudi Arabia aims at "establishing a personal relationship" with the monarch [AFP]French President Francois Hollande voiced support for a transitional Syrian opposition government and called Iran's nuclear ambitions a "threat" to the region and the world. Hollande told reporters after talks with Saudi King Abdullah in the Saudi city of Jeddah on Sunday that "France is very keen on the formation by the opposition of a transitional government that would give it full legitimacy and ensure democratic transition in Syria". It is "absolutely necessary for the opposition to restructure," he said, as the Syrian National Council (SNC) began meetings aimed at broadening its membership which has been criticised by the US. Details have emerged of plans to reshape the SNC into a representative government-in-exile, after US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton charged that the opposition bloc, in its current structure, was not representative. Asked about military aid to the Syrian rebels, Hollande said that only if "a temporary government is formed... we could only then ensure where the arms that could one day be provided go". Live Box 20117693233259422 On Iran's controversial nuclear programme which he discussed with the Saudi monarch, Hollande stressed that Tehran's will to "access nuclear weapons" was seen as "a threat to the entire region and for the world". Paris and Riyadh "agree" on toughening sanctions against Iran to "prevent it from moving forward" with its nuclear programme, he said. But both countries stressed negotiations with Iran as a way to resolve the matter. Hollande earlier told reporters that "this visit to Saudi Arabia is primarily political". "France plays an active role in the Middle East. We are the most active country on issues concerning Syria, Lebanon, and the peace process" between Israel and the Palestinians, he said. He later added that his visit aims at "establishing a personal relationship" with the monarch, whose country "is France's first trade partner". Lebanon visit Earlier, on a brief visit to Beirut, Hollande pledged to "protect" Lebanon against threats of destabilisation caused by the conflict in neighbouring Syria. "France will spare no effort to guarantee Lebanon's independence, unity and security," Hollande said at a joint news conference with Lebanese President Michel Sleiman on Sunday. France is determined "to oppose with all its strength any bid to destabilise Lebanon," he added. Sleiman said at the news conference that he reaffirmed to Hollande "Lebanon's commitment to avoid the negative repercussions of the (Syrian) crisis". The visit comes two weeks after Lebanon's opposition called on Prime Minister Najib Mikati, whose cabinet is dominated by Hezbollah, a powerful Syrian government ally, to resign. The Syrian opposition accuses Beirut of complicity with the regime of embattled Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, a former powerbroker in Lebanon. Calls for Mikati to quit were spurred by a massive car bombing in central Beirut last month that killed Wissam al-Hassan, a top security official, in an attack the opposition blamed on the Syrian regime and its allies in Lebanon. Live Box 2011421105226899357 Since the attack, Sleiman has pressed for all-party talks on forming a new government "that can pull Lebanon out of its impasse", saying only then can Mikati resign. France is willing to host a meeting of Lebanese political figures if all parties were represented and if Beirut made an official request for such a gathering, a government source said in Paris. Hollande said France was ready to help Lebanon probe the murder of al-Hassan, and said "there can be no impunity" for the assassination of Hariri and the security official.Source: Agencies

"For the ultimate gazpacho, you must peel, seed, dice, salt and drain really good, vine-ripened tomatoes. So what if you don't have time to fuss with fresh tomatoes? I've found the canned variety makes a fine substitute. Another advantage: Fresh tomatoes start to deteriorate as soon as the soup is refrigerated, but canned tomatoes are unaffected by the chill."

Steve Jobs Is Here To Remind You About The Important Things In Life
"Retire, relax, enjoy
your family. It is just a phone. Not worth it."
— Steve Jobs (or someone claiming to be him?)
tries to soothe an iPhone 4 user who is, shall we say, agitated
about the device's issue with dropping calls when it isn't held in
the proper way. Is Jobs' response indicative of a new "be chill,
bro" marketing technique
coming from Apple, or is this simply the response of someone who
doesn't have to pay AT&T for lousy service and is thus more Zen
about the whole idea of a somewhat expensive device actually
working? Either way, it's kind of amazing how low our expectations
are for the reliability of phone service these days, isn't

A year ago, 24 members of the Irish Ramblers Club travelled to South America. Our plan was to cross from Peru to Bolivia but, due to unrest in Bolivia, the border was closed.
We had booked flights from La Paz to Lima worth £3,288 and had to cancel them. The Bolivian airline in Cusco said we would get a refund, but had to go through our travel agent, Condor Travel in London, which agreed to process it.
Over the next six months, I emailed and phoned on numerous occasions and made three personal visits without avail. Finally I contacted the airline in Barcelona and its head office in La Paz. On 6 July, the airline confirmed that it had sent the cheque to Condor Travel but, two months later, I still have not received the money.
FR, Dublin
Condor Travel said it had a cheque - for £2,013 - for you but was waiting for you to confirm how you wanted to receive it - by cheque or direct payment - and that you would accept £2,013 in full and final settlement. The lower amount appears to be due to several currency conversions. You had already provided this information and agreed to accept the lower amount to end the saga. Your cheque has now arrived.
So near and yet so Faro
I left my handbag in the hotel when rushing to catch a flight home from Faro airport. We heard that the bag had been handed in by hotel staff but Airtours would not post it to me because it contained valuables, such as my driving licence. My Norwich Union travel insurance will not pay to send it back by courier because the handbag is not lost.
KL, Halesworth
Airtours says it has no confirmation your handbag has been found and it does not generally return lost property to Britain. But, if you paid it a £35 search fee and it found the bag, the company would send it back by courier, although you have to pay and the courier it uses will not ship valuables.
Norwich Union would pay compensation only if the bag really is lost, and then minus an excess. You cannot claim for the cost of posting it back and, if you believe the bag is safe, cannot say it is lost. Your cheapest option is to pay the hotel to send it with a courier that accepts valuables.
Accounting for Abbey's bad habit
I opened an Abbey Isa and wanted to transfer £1,400 from an existing Isa with Principality building society. Abbey's customer helpline said the money was transferred on 29 June. I tried to withdraw £1,200 on 23 July and was told that there were no funds in my account.
On 29 July, Abbey said it did have my money but it had not yet been posted to my account. I needed the £1,200 to make a mortgage payment and, because it failed to come through, had to arrange an overdraft.
DA, Newport
Abbey says it has taken on more staff and brought in new equipment to clear the backlog which built up in the summer but admits you suffered bad service. It is sending you £50 compensation.
Wheel of misfortune
On 6 May, I drove over a huge piece of debris, a stripped lorry tyre, on the M65 which caused £300- worth of damage to my car. The Highways Agency turned down my claim for the repairs, saying its agents did a sweep once a week which, it assured me, fulfils its responsibility to provide a debris-free highway. But I am £300 out of pocket.
VM, Chorley
Under the Highways Act 1980, highway authorities must keep motorways and strategic trunk roads maintained and safe, but the law also protects them from claims for damages provided they take reasonable measures to comply. The M65 falls in inspection category B, where safety inspections must be carried out no more than once every seven days, although there are daily safety patrols as well.
The agent, Atkins, carried out a safety inspection on 5 May and a safety patrol on the morning of 6 May and neither found any debris. It had no report of the tyre until you hit it, so the Highways Agency reckons Atkins fulfilled its obligations, so it will not pay compensation.
Can I carry on working?
I work for an organisation that has a compulsory retirement age of 60. What will my position be in 2006, when I turn 60 in the same month that European legislation will enable me to take pension benefits and continue working?
WH, Great Missenden
The link between retirement and employment will be removed from 6 April 2006 and employers will not be able to impose a specific retirement age. Whether this affects existing contracts of employment depends on the individual scheme rules. Talk to your pension department.

Emmy-winning TV host and "Moon River" crooner Andy Williams has died at age 84.
Williams' publicist, Paul Shefrin, said Wednesday that the silky-voiced singer died Tuesday night at his home in Branson, Mo., following a year-long battle with bladder cancer.
Williams said in November 2011 that he was diagnosed with bladder cancer but planned to continue performing at the namesake theater he built in Branson in 1992.
The clean-cut Iowa native began singing with his brothers as a child, and his easy style and mellow voice led President Ronald Reagan to call Williams "a national treasure." Though his version of "Moon River" made him world famous, it was among his many hits, including "Butterfly" and "Can't Get Used to Losing You."

Chains push licensed goods but keep assortments basic
The recession has subjected licensed products at drug chains to some scrutiny, yet they continue to play a role in company plans.
Rite Aid plans to focus more on the basic necessities. ŌĆ£Rite Aid is going back to basics this school season with an emphasis on value geared around the items most commonly requested by teachers,ŌĆØ said company spokesman Eric Harkreader.
Walgreens will be selective when it comes to licenses, leaning in the value direction. ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖve got one of note weŌĆÖre adding,ŌĆØ said spokesman Robert Elfinger, citing a development in home office/stationery. ŌĆ£We have the Ed Hardy brand notebooks, folders and binders. HeŌĆÖs a tattoo artist with trippy designs. TheyŌĆÖre very reasonably priced.ŌĆØ
At CVS, Greg Froton, divisional merchandising manager for seasonal and general merchandise, noted, ŌĆ£We have seen these products increase in popularity with our customers.ŌĆ" We believe licensed products, which often offer a feeling of nostalgia and comfort, will gain in popularity this year.ŌĆØ
In licensed greeting cards, said American Greetings spokesman Frank Cirillo, ŌĆ£The two biggest in terms of timing around back-to-school are Transformers and G.I. Joe.ŌĆØ
In addition, ŌĆ£established brands, such as the Disney Princess line, ŌĆśDora The Explorer,ŌĆÖ ŌĆśHello KittyŌĆÖ and ŌĆśCars,ŌĆÖ should continue to dominate the drug store categories later this year,ŌĆØ said Darren Kyman, executive director of marketing and retail development for Paramount Licensing.
Among the products that Bendetta Campisi, assistant VP licensing at Sesame Workshop, said should see success at drug were ŌĆ£fun bath products featuring childrenŌĆÖs favorite ŌĆśSesame StreetŌĆÖ characters from The Village Co.ŌĆØ

Amram Mitzna 370. (photo credit:REUTERS)
The cracks inside Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's governing coalition deepened Thursday when Hatnua MK Amram Mitzna compared coalition partner Bayit Yehudi to Hamas, "if you subtract the terrorism."Speaking in an Israel Radio interview, Mitzna said, "In Israel's government you have [a party] Bayit Yehudi that works toward the same goals as Hamas."Mitzna was responding to Bayit Yehudi leader Naftali Bennett's earlier comments on Israel Radio in which he called Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas a "mega terrorist" who supports murdering Jews, because he provides monthly stipends to Palestinian inmates in Israeli prisons.Mitzna called on the prime minister to kick Bennett out of the cabinet. He said Netanyahu should ask Bayit Yehudi, just like he asks Hamas, to accept the Quartet's conditions of accepting past diplomatic agreements and renouncing terrorism."Abu Mazen [Abbas] is the best partner that Israel has had," Mitzna said. "It's too bad that Bayit Yehudi, which sits in the government, attempts to sabotage the joint effort of a number of parties that make up this coalition to reach a peace agreement."The Prime Minister's Office released a statement on Thursday saying that Netanyahu roundly condemned Mitzna's "baseless" remarks."There can be diverse opinions in the Knesset, but the argument must maintain appropriate boundaries of truth and fairness," the prime minister said. "Mitzna's comments crossed both of these boundaries."Netanyahu's coalition already suffered a blow this week when Bennett told MKs in his faction that they should start getting ready for the possibility that there will be a general election next spring.The prime minister expelled Construction and Housing Minister Uri Ariel from a security cabinet meeting when Bennett defiantly brought him to protest dovish Yesh Atid minister Yaakov Peri's invitation to recent meetings.Bayit Yehudi faction chairwoman Ayelet Shaked said she would complain to the Knesset's ethics committee. She called Mitzna's comments pathetic and especially shameful, because he chairs the Knesset's education committee.She said he was frustrated because the diplomatic talks with the Palestinians broke down and "his worldview collapsed."Knesset Finance Committee chairman MK Nissan Slomiansky (Bayit Yehudi) shot back at Mitzna, saying, "It's a shame that a former IDF major general and a former Labor Party chief has turned into the Palestinian Authority's representative in the Knesset.""There is no such thing as Hamas without terrorism, just like there's no such thing as a cow without milk, udders and four legs," Slomiansky's party colleague Orit Struck said.

Early Voting Nears End
On Monday, Secretary of State Brian Kemp said more than 110,000 Georgians have taken advantage of early voting ahead of the May 20 primary election.
"We feel like that number will continue certainly to go up the rest of the week and probably in a little quicker fashion than it did. I think it's been steady, but I'm just speculating. We'll know a lot more on Friday."
And Kemp said comparing early voting numbers and turnout in general this year will have a twist, because this is the first time Georgia has held its primary in May rather than July.
"We really don't know what to expect. We haven't had a May primary before, so it's going to be interesting to see you know how that affects turnout, if it does at all. It may being very similar to what we've seen in the past. We'll just have to wait and compare those numbers when we're finished."
Voters will decide who faces off in a hotly contested U.S. Senate race, the Georgia governor's contest and number of congressional races. Early voting ends this Friday.

Subject: Re: [ai-geostats] Re: Software for Automatic Semivariogram EstimationDear all,
I have the same concerns with ArcGIS Geostatistical Analyst Extension (v.9.1). I would use a traditional geostatistics software package to fit the variogram models in a very traditional way, and input the parameters to ArcGIS for kriging. It seems that ArcGIS has its own reasons to show variograms in a non-traditional way, but I find it almost impossible to fit the variograms mannually. You can change the parameters, but it is very hard to see how well they fit. By the way, you can change the lag distance or interval in ArcGIS (it is called "lag size" there).
