Mentoring Program uses ROBOTC and VEX IQ to Teach STEM and Connect with Military Families
We were delighted to hear about an inaugural weeklong robotics summer camp happening in North Carolina that is using ROBOTC, ROBOTC Graphical, and the VEX Robotics IQ system to help teach students STEM while keeping them connected to their military families. (One of the mentors was trained at the Robotics Academy last summer too!) Read the story and watch the video highlighting this program below!
Reblog from East Carolina University's News Service
ECU partners in Operation LINK mentoring program
Ten-year-old Tyrrek Grizzle took control of his paddle, maneuvering his miniature land mover with ease.
He and a teammate moved his robot across a grid and past an opponent to pick up as many green-colored blocks as possible and dump them in a coordinating green basket. The team that filled the basket with the most blocks in the three-minute competition won.
Grizzle attended an inaugural weeklong robotics summer camp through Operation LINK, an AmeriCorps school-based science, technology, engineering and mathematics mentoring program for elementary and middle grades students in eastern North Carolina. The STEM program, with a special emphasis on students from military families, will transition from an afterschool program to part of the regular school day this fall.
Offered this spring in Wayne County, the program aims to promote positive behaviors and success in school while keeping military youth connected to family. It's a partnership between East Carolina University, AmeriCorps, military family support networks, veterans groups, community colleges and public schools.
The summer camp, held at Greenwood Middle School in Goldsboro, allowed students to make real robots from designs they developed in their afterschool program.
Counselors and campers used a box kit to construct a robot with up to 650 pieces. A software program (ROBOTC) developed at Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy gave the students the ability to control movements.
"We had fourth-graders writing code," said Michael "Mike" Dermody, associate professor of cinematic arts and media production in the ECU School of Art. Dermody, who grew up in a military family, said "It's amazing how quickly they adapt. It's a very tactile and hands-on experience. They go in and test and modify it. There's lots of activity between the computer itself and the robot."
For Grizzle, a rising fifth-grader at Tommy's Road Elementary School, taking his work from the computer lab to create a functioning robot is exciting. "Robots help you in a lot of ways," said Grizzle. "They help us do things we can't normally do ourselves." Grizzle has cousins who serve in the military.
The pilot program will become part of the curriculum this fall at three Wayne County schools with a higher population of children from military families, said Lou U. Rose, Operation LINK coordinator in the ECU College of Education, which has facilitated the program.
"We will be able to impact more kids that way."
Area teachers observed some of the program activities. "Some will do it as an elective in science and math classes," Rose said.
"The beauty of this is they can tailor it and run with it and be creative. It brings relevancy in the real world, and maybe will get students interested in science."
Michael Giddens, an AmeriCorps camp mentor who earned a teaching certificate in middle grades science and math from ECU in May, said students learned to collaborate and work as a team at the camp.
"The energy has been electrifying," Giddens said. "Keeping them (students) engaged is a challenge in the classroom in the 21st century."
One old-fashioned value students have learned has been patience, Giddens said, such as when broken robots have had to be re-assembled. Now poised to reach more students, the initial idea for the Operation LINK program was to create a way for military parents to interact with their children – via the web – while the parents were away from home. "It's (been) a way to keep the child connected," Dermody said.
Amy Perry's nine-year-old daughter Kayla and 10-year-old daughter, Alexis, participated in the afterschool program. Perry, a technical sergeant in the U.S. Air Force, inspects aircraft for defects at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base. The Perry family doesn't have a computer, internet or cable in their home. So the program has helped support her girls' interests in science and technology. "It works for us," she said.
Perry said the counselors encouraged her daughters' unique personalities. "It's allowing them to have the space to be who they are," she said. "Respecting others is important."
Kayla Perry said she enjoyed the computer lab and making a virtual robot. "I like the teachers. All the time they think of cool things for us to do," she said. "They always come up with these amazing ideas."
Program activities have helped build relationships between mentors and students, and among students, said Virginia Harris, a retired teacher and military spouse who taught 23 years in several states and overseas.
"I've seen changes in the students, being able to work together and learning to follow rules better," Harris said. "One of the main things they learn is you're not an island. You have to get along with people in life. I think it's difficult for little people to work together as a team sometimes."

Cool Project: Room Explorer Bot with Mapping Functions
ROBOTC user, Sigtrygg (forum name), recently shared a project on the ROBOTC forums that they have been working on called the NXT Room Explorer Bot with Mapping Functions. Check out the YouTube video of the robot in action …
Sigtrygg description and breakdown of the bot …
The robot is based upon a standard REM-Bot but in addition equipped with a HiTechnic gyro, HiTechnic compass sensor and an omni-wheel. First the robot moves about 360° to calibrate the compass using the gyro (thank you to Xander Soldaat for code!). Then the robot moves its sonar-head to the right, to the left and in front position to get the distances according to its position. After doing this it turns around to the wall with the minimum distance and drives in front of it until sonar sensor detected a minimum sensor distance, e.g. 20cm. Then the robot turns parallel to the wall, moves his sonar-head to the right detecting the distance to the wall and drives counter clockwise parallel to the wall balancing distance. A mapping-task records the compass and odometry data every second and calculate the polar coordinates to cartesian coordinates (x,y). The coordinates are written as "map.txt"-file. So you can use Excel or an other program to draw the path which the robot had moved. In addition to that you can follow the path at the NXT-LCD-screen. I had to choose a scale for it, so you have to suit the scale to your room size. If the robots touch sensor has detected an obstacle the robot moves back and turn left for 90 degrees and continuous his explorer-duty always running counter clockwise with wall to the right. How to expect the end of path doesn't suit exactly to the beginning because of inaccuracies of compass and odometry measures.

Huffington Post Article Features CMU's Robotics Academy!
An article titled, "Robots Are Everywhere! Learning About Technology From Robotics" was recently published on the Huffington Post website featuring the Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy! The author, Dr. Julie Dobrow from Tufts University, reached out to some of the staff at the Robotics Academy to get their take on robotics in the classroom. Here are some excerpts from the article …
The "Robotics Academy" at Carnegie Mellon University features a variety of tips for educators and parents on using robotics to teach kids about math, science, engineering and physics. Their extremely well-organized website offers curricular information, products and support to demonstrate ways to use both VEX systems (essentially a kit with all the component parts that enables kids to build a robot) and LEGOs to teach many STEM principles. All of their work and products are based on extensive research.
Robin Shoop, Director of the CMU Robotics Academy, believes that some of the work they are doing at CMU can make learning come alive. "Robots provide the hook that can be used to excite students about STEM academic concepts. Robotics activities in and of themselves will not improve STEM academic performance, but if robotics technologies are introduced correctly, and the STEM academic concepts are properly foregrounded, then robotics provides an excellent organizer to teach kids about STEM."
Ross Higashi, lead curriculum developer at CMU says, "It's a common misconception that involving robots in a curriculum or afterschool program makes STEM magic happen. That's simply not true… Robotics presents a wealth of opportunities to teach meaningful content. But doing that, it's not trivial. It's hard work. You need well-targeted lessons, and you need a teacher who can support students who are learning by doing. In the end, though, as many students and teachers will tell you: it's absolutely worth it, and the hardest fun they've ever had."
And kids do have fun. And not only kids. Jason McKenna, a K-8 teacher in the Hopewell(PA) Area School District who works with the CMU Robotics Academy points out that it's the combination of high engagement, the ability to teach each student at his or her instructional level and provide opportunities for differentiated engagement "that makes Robotics such fun for me as a teacher."

Cool Project: VEX IQ Quadruped
In my last post about the VEX IQ building system I had a small video featuring my VEX Quadruped. I've done a bit of work on it since then and the gait has been greatly improved. I also added some small rubber feet on the legs. These are the traction links from the Tank Tread & Intake Kit.
Due to the heavy load that these motors are under, you may find that the batteries will run down a bit faster than you're used to. Good thing the kits come with a charger!
Up next on the agenda is to add some sensors and have it interact a bit more. The little wheels on the bottom are not used when it is walking; the robot is fully lifted off the ground.
I've taken some picture, so you can see how it's put together. These should be enough to copy the design, should you wish to. You can download the program to run this here: [LINK]. Note that part of the code is based on the excellent guide on creating an Arduino based quadruped: [LINK].
Expedition Atlantis iPad App Available Today!
To celebrate the launch, Expedition Atlantis is priced at $1.99 for a limited time! Download today from the iTunes store!
The Robot Virtual Worlds team is proud to announce the availability of their new iPad app, Expedition Atlantis. Expedition Atlantis immerses you in a world of underwater robotics exploration, where you must solve math problems to control your robot's movement in the deep seas ruins.
The math problems will help students understand proportional relationships and the basics of robot programming. It is designed for the student to learn as they play, and includes in-game tutorials to help them play along. As you play, you'll be able to customize your robot, and also earn achievements through our Computer Science Student Network (CS2N). A full teacher's guide for using Expedition Atlantis in the classroom is available at www.robotvirtualworlds.com/ipad.
Expedition Atlantis was tested in a number of diverse classroom settings. In every case, students had measurable gains in proportional understanding, as well as increased interest in math and robotics. Read more about the research here!

Per the tradition of The Woman's Club of Elizabethtown, books are presented to the library upon the death of a spouse or immediate family member. In the past few months, member Betty Hilliard passed away and her family chose "Sky Color" by Peter H. Reynolds, a book about art for ages 5 through 8 and it encourages young artists to paint and "Raven Boys" by Maggie Stiefvater . Hilliard's family also gave many of her paperback book collection, which in turn was given to the VA Hospital in Louisville.
The book "How Music Works"by David Byrne was chosen in memory of Lucille Dorothy Wills Perry, former member and chapter president. It is highly recommended for libraries as it details how music shapes our lives and how recent technology has changed the music world.
In memory of Richard Wagonner Hart, husband of member Reva Hart, the book "A Wanted Man; A Jack Reacher Novel" was selected.
Bookplates will be placed in each of the books stating it is a donation from The Woman's Club of Elizabethtown.

Workers began demolishing a wall in Warsaw near the spot where Jews were gathered for transport to the Treblinka concentration camp.
The demolition of the wall bordering the square in the former Warsaw Ghetto known as the Umschlagplatz was first reported Tuesday by the Virtual Shtetl website.
The brick wall, which in some places is topped with barbed wire, has been in poor condition for some time. It appears, however, that it is being demolished to allow for the cutting of trees and other vegetation, according to the Virtual Shtetl.
Historians reportedly are not sure whether the wall is the original from World War II.
Bartosz Milczarczyk, a City Hall spokesman, told RDC radio that the wall will be reconstructed.
"I am glad that the authorities see how important for the history of both the Jews and the city are relics such as this particular wall," Piotr Kadlcik, president of the Jewish Community of Warsaw, told JTA. "These objects, even if their historical origin is in some doubt, are an important element of the teaching of history that took place here a few decades earlier. And that we must not forget.
"I hope that as Warsaw authorities promised, the wall will be reconstructed as soon as possible."
We welcome your feedback.

How to fix the Bluetooth pairing issue on AT&T Samsung Galaxy S2 ICS 4.0.3
After getting the android 4.0.3 ICS update, many users encountered the Bluetooth pairing problem on their AT&T Samsung Galaxy S2 phone, that was the Bluetooth didn't work on the ICS OS. If you are the owners of att galaxy S2, and you have the same problem, you can come here, today I happened to find the solution to this problem, users can just clear the data in Applications -> All -> Bluetooth Share and BlueToothTest, and then do a soft reset on the TomTom (hold in the on/off button for about 30 seconds until you hear a drum roll). Immediately after this the galaxy s 2 recognised the TomTom, and paired with it straight away.
Obviously, the fixing method is so simple, enjoy it!

Special Correspondent
As loading of tankers is expected to resume, say fuel station owners
TIRUCHI: A large number of motorists endured a harrowing time throughout the day on Friday, hunting for petrol and diesel to refuel their vehicles.
Though news about the withdrawal of the strike by officers of the public sector oil companies brought some relief by evening, the few Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited outlets in the city, which have been getting supplies, witnessed a mad rush from panicked motorists.
Police had a tough time regulating the crowd at the handful of the bunks which have been functioning normally. However, two-wheeler riders had to be satisfied with one or two litres of petrol as the bunk owners resorted to rationing, so that cars and heavy vehicles travelling long distance were given adequate quantities of petrol/diesel.
Serpentine queues of people carrying cans and bottles queued up right through the day to get petrol in small quantities.
Some motorists chose to visit the bunks late in the night on Thursday and in the early hours of Friday hoping to beat the crowd and get their vehicles refuelled.
Teams of revenue and police officials inspected several bunks which had shut down since Wednesday/ Thursday to check whether they were holding back stocks. A few bunks, which were found to have left with some stocks, were ordered to sell them.
However, some persons, who had bought petrol on Wednesday and Thursday in cans, sought to make a quick buck by selling it for a premium. In some places, petrol was reportedly sold for Rs.100 a litre in the black market.
With cooking gas supply being badly hit, there was heavy demand for kerosene in the open market. Several family card holders made a bee line to the ration shops to draw their quota of kerosene for the month.
Meanwhile, fuel station owners said that the situation was expected to ease by Saturday afternoon as loading of tankers was expected to resume following the withdrawal of the officers' strike.

Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads

Tablet Plus
Crosby Street Hotel
79 Crosby Street, New York City, NY, USA
Neighborhood: Manhattan - Soho
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
In general it's true that we're skeptical about the idea of hotel chains. But we tend to forget our principles when we're talking about the Firmdale group. Their six London hotels are six of the best hotels anywhere, and they can't help but be similar; aside from the obvious fact that they all share the same city, they all just as obviously share the same general philosophy of what a hotel ought to be — which they owe to their owners, Tim and Kit Kemp. And a part of that is visual, a natural family resemblance based on their all having been decorated by the very recognizable Kit.
Now if we didn't greatly admire the (smallish, intimate, service-oriented) Firmdale philosophy, and consider ourselves huge fans of Ms. Kemp's design style, we might be less excited about a London-based mini-chain expanding into New York. But a hotel like Crosby Street is exactly what this city needs. The contrast between the downtown grit of the cobblestone street outside and the plush sophistication of the hotel's lobby is immediate, and striking. Say what you will about the bright colors and the decidedly un-minimal décor — it's a rare New York boutique these days that presents so opinionated a face to the world.
This year, more than most, hotels are clambering over one another to slash costs and look adequately humble. What's so appealing about Crosby Street, and the Firmdale approach in general, is that they're unapologetic about the fact that theirs is a decidedly high-end offering. There's something inherently a little bit decadent in the very idea of paying money for a place to sleep, after all, and while Crosby Street isn't exactly conspicuous consumption of the champagne-in-the-bathtub variety, it's by no means a hard time either — and the confidence shows, right down to the smallest detail.

What I liked:
Where to begin? The hotel was gorgeous!! The staff were brilliant, nothing was a problem. The location in Soho is brilliant and this hotel has really thought of all the 'small things' that make this a fine hotel. The rooms are lovely, we ended up staying here for 7 nights, we never wanted to leave.
What the hotel could do better:
Nothing, had a wonderful stay but perhaps some tea & coffee facilities in the rooms would be nice.

What I liked:
As with previous stays at this hotel the room and the service was fantastic.
What the hotel could do better:
Had a disappointment with the breakfast. Have had room service breakfast before but this time they got the order wrong (twice) and the eggs benedict was totally overcooked.

If you are thinking of throwing a Halloween party, the floating brain cocktail should be a signature beverage. Irish cream liqueur is slowly added to a shot of peach schnapps, forming ribbons within the drink to make it appear like a brain. A splash of grenadine adds a gory detail to the cocktail. Your guests might be frightened but not enough to resist the floating brain cocktail.
1 1/2 ounces peach schnapps
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
1 1/2 ounces Bailey's Irish Cream
Strain into an on-the-rocks glass.
Drip a drop or two of grenadine into the glass, it will sink to the bottom and look like blood.
Dip the drinking straw into the Bailey's; place finger over your end to capture some inside the straw.
Insert filled straw into the center of the glass.

2010 Camaro ss
Reviewed By jason g (MARANA, AZ) Reviewed for a 2010 Chevy Camaro —5/26/2015 8:44 PM
Thought the rear would be a lot lower, shoulda ordered a 1.5" lower in rear
Reviewed By Joel C (LOS ANGELES, CA) Reviewed for a 2009 Chevy Traverse —5/25/2015 8:57 PM
Installed these on my 09 Chevy Traverse LTZ, didn't lower much (Aprox. 1 1/2" F&R), but enough to make it easier for my pregnant wife and mother to get in. The handling on this vehicle in stock is already good and these made it even better. The only downside is that the ride is more stiff, but if you don't mind that everything else is good.

Ronald Reagan, the conservatives' answer to the Second Coming, did it before he became president. Long before he got to the White House, as a matter of fact.
He appeared in movies. Granted, most of them are forgettable, but that's beside the point.
No ex-president has appeared in a movie in a cameo appearance. Sure, they've been featured in movies seen on TV in actual news settings. But none in an appearance in a movie for the movie's sake.
Until now.
Former President Bill Clinton will make a cameo appearance in the sequel to the highly successful comedy "The Hangover."
What's next, Jimmy Carter playing Boss Hoggs' brother in "Return of the Dukes of Hazzard"?
Clinton easily passed the audition: All you have to do to get cast in one of these buddy-buddy raunchy comedies if you're a man is be willing to drop your pants.
No stunt double needed here for Willie Jefferson Clinton.
Bubba probably liked the catering on the set —- but not the fact that in these comedies women are pretty much persona non grata.
Here are some other movie titles that Bubba may not want to consider making even for a cameo appearance:
1. "No Country for Horny Old Men"
2. "The Big Lewinsky"
3. "The Hurt-So-Good Locker"
4. A movie about Bubba's draft-dodging college years when he smoked pot but didn't inhale is documented in "Romancing the Stoned."
5. "All About Eve and Gennifer and Monica and Hannah and Her Sisters"
6. "Driving Miss Daisy East of Eden to The Apartment On Golden Pond"
7. "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly In the Heat of the Night"
8. "All the President's Women Under the Influence"
9. "Desperately Seeking Susan Where the Wild Things Are"
10. "Meet Me in St. Louis Thelma & Louise"
Other pols and pundits who can have starring roles in these suggested titles:
1. Rush Limbaugh in "Inherit the Wingbag"
2. Sarah Palin in "The Greatest Show-off on Earth"
3. John "Bad Tan" Boehner in "A Clockwork Orangeman"
4. Dick Cheney in a double-feature: "No Places in the Heart" and "Flatliners II"
5. Fox Fabricated News Foxholes in "All the Right-wing Moves"

DATEVALUE function
This article describes the formula syntax and usage of the DATEVALUEfunction in Microsoft Office Excel.
The DATEVALUE function converts a date that is stored as text to a serial number that Excel recognizes as a date. For example, the formula =DATEVALUE("1/1/2008") returns 39448, the serial number of the date 1/1/2008.
Note The serial number returned by the DATEVALUE function can vary from the preceding example, depending on your computer's system date settings.
The DATEVALUE function is helpful in cases where a worksheet contains dates in a text format that you want to filter, sort, or format as dates, or use in date calculations.
To view a date serial number as a date, you must apply a date format to the cell. Find links to more information about displaying numbers as dates in the See Also section.
The DATEVALUE function syntax has the following argument:
date_text Required. Text that represents a date in an Excel date format, or a reference to a cell that contains text that represents a date in an Excel date format. For example, "1/30/2008" or "30-Jan-2008" are text strings within quotation marks that represent dates.
Using the default date system in Microsoft Excel for Windows, the date_text argument must represent a date between January 1, 1900 and December 31, 9999. Using the default date system in Excel for the Macintosh, the date_text argument must represent a date between January 1, 1904 and December 31, 9999. The DATEVALUE function returns the #VALUE! error value if the value of the date_text argument falls outside of this range.
If the year portion of the date_text argument is omitted, the DATEVALUE function uses the current year from your computer's built-in clock. Time information in the date_text argument is ignored.
Excel stores dates as sequential serial numbers so that they can be used in calculations. By default, January 1, 1900 is serial number 1, and January 1, 2008 is serial number 39448 because it is 39,447 days after January 1, 1900. Microsoft Excel for the Macintosh uses a different date system as its default.
For more information, see Change the date system, format, or two-digit year interpretation.
Most functions automatically convert date values to serial numbers.
The example may be easier to understand if you copy it to a blank worksheet.
How do I copy an example?
Select the example in this article.
Important Do not select the row or column headers.
Selecting an example from Help
Press CTRL+C.
In Excel, create a blank workbook or worksheet.
In the worksheet, select cell A1, and press CTRL+V.
Important For the example to work properly, you must paste it into cell A1 of the worksheet.
To switch between viewing the results and viewing the formulas that return the results, press CTRL+` (grave accent), or on the Formulas tab, in the Formula Auditing group, click the Show Formulas button.
After you copy the example to a blank worksheet, you can adapt it to suit your needs.
Note To view the serial number as a date, select the cell, and then on the Home tab, in the Number group, click the arrow next to Number Format, and click Short Date or Long Date.

I now have a copy of a marriage document that was noted on an earlier birth record I had posted. The quality of the image I received is rather dark, but if anyone is able to confirm or add to the below known details I would appreciate it. There is a name halfway-down the first image that looks like ? Iaricci (son of a Giuseppe Maria Iaricci), whose role/relationship is unknown to me.
Known Details:
Marriage in Ripabottoni on 4 Jun 1873 between Giacomo De Iulio (son of Crescenzo DeJulio and Maria Sauro) and Filomena Immucci (daughter of Leonardo Immucci and Caterina Carducci). All seem to be noted as peasant farmers.

Research body cannot directly conduct study, but can fund such initiatives: Katoch
Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) said that medical colleges in Karnataka should study the effects of endosulfan on people, and the apex body for biomedical research will fund such initiatives.
Speaking to reporters after inaugurating a multi-disciplinary research facility at Yenepoya University in the city on Wednesday, ICMR's Director General and Secretary, Department of Health Research, V.M. Katoch said ICMR would not directly conduct a study on the issue directly.
He said, "We are going to push studies but we want the local colleges to be PIs (principal investigators). Because that is how we can implement programmes better. And these are not one-point studies. If you find something, you have to provide a solution for that and central agencies are not fit to do that. We are there to help you, that's all."
The State government had sent a proposal to ICMR to study the health problems arising from endosulfan in Karnataka. ICMR is in the process of forming a group, which can join two or three local medical colleges, Dr. Katoch said.
Medical colleges should take up the issue as was done in Calicut Medical College (to study the problem in Kerala) since ICMR has nobody to conduct research, he said. ICMR officials had visited Kasaragod earlier but that was "another chapter", which could not be repeated now in Karnataka. "Every time, you can't depute the people from an institute that has 20 people," he said.
According to him, "The endosulfan issue is over" and now the question was how to address people with residual problems, and ICMR is prepared to support the initiative. There were no problems with the second generation of those affected by endosulfan.
Endosulfan was banned here at the same time as in Kerala and what happened in Kasaragod happened in Karnataka also. The government of Kerala took many steps and the victims were taken care of. In Karnataka, the government has taken steps but ICMR has not done any study recently on its impact, he said.
Multi-disciplinary research units
In Manipal, Dr. Katoch said on Wednesday that the Union government was giving priority to setting up of multi-disciplinary research units (MRUs) in government medical colleges and research institutions.
He was speaking as the chief guest at the third annual day celebrations of the Manipal Centre for Virus Research (MCVR), now renamed as the Department of Virus Research, Manipal University, here. Dr. Katoch said that this was a major scheme taken up by the Union Government during the 12th Five Year Plan period to develop health research infrastructure in the country. The scheme would encourage research in medical colleges.
It would help build the gap in infrastructure, which was restraining health research in the medical colleges and assist them to establish multidisciplinary research facilities.

Dubai's decline gives way to Abu Dhabi's rise
ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates There's no greater symbol of the shifting fortunes in the Gulf than the surprise renaming of the world's tallest building in Dubai after the leader of neighboring Abu Dhabi, who bailed out the faltering city state.
For years, the United Arab Emirates' capital Abu Dhabi played the role of rich but bland neighbor as flashy Dubai strutted to international stardom. That all changed when the bills came due.
Abu Dhabi - awash in oil wealth - sent a total of $25 billion to Dubai last year to help the former boomtown fend off creditors after the global recession brought growth to a standstill. The white knight rescue further reinforced Abu Dhabi's image as a hub of serious power and ambitions - a place that forged deals for satellite branches of the Louvre and Guggenheim while Dubai plotted fantasy cities in the desert.
But Monday's fireworks-and-laser extravaganza to open the more than half-mile (nearly 830-meter) tower offered the first hints that the bailout money to Dubai may come with strings attached. Abu Dhabi's more conservative rulers now hold the leverage to exert more control over Dubai's economic policies, its free-spirited social rules and its international dealings.
"It is the most public acknowledgment thus far of Dubai's political subordination to Abu Dhabi in the wake of the ... debt crisis last month," said Hani Sabra, Middle East expert with the New York-based consultancy Eurasia Group.
Abu Dhabi literally stole the thunder from Dubai during the booming opening for the tower. It was long referred to as the Burj Dubai - Arabic for the Dubai Tower. But the name was secretly switched and unveiled to the public as the Burj Khalifa - after the emir of Abu Dhabi and UAE president Sheik Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
"It's a golden opportunity for Abu Dhabi to increase political control over Dubai and the whole federation," said Christopher Davidson, an expert on Gulf affairs at Britain's Durham University.
As the capital of the United Arab Emirates - a collection of seven semiautonomous emirates and the world's third largest oil exporter - Abu Dhabi has long tried to become the undisputed center of gravity for the country.
Dubai has put up the most resistance to any outside supervision or control.
But Abu Dhabi's cash injection may change the way Dubai is doing business with the West and - more important - could affect the sheikdom's massive trade with Iran. Dubai has served as a transshipment and banking hub for Iranian merchants, enabling the government in Tehran to try to circumvent U.S. sanctions.
Abu Dhabi's rulers - like many other Arab leaders - are much more suspicious toward Persian Iran and its efforts to expand influence in the region.
And Abu Dhabi has remained more faithful to Gulf's traditional values - unlike Dubai, which has sped up its development and loosened many of Gulf's strict Islamic codes to become one of the world's most multinational cities.
Abu Dhabi, however, has begun to look outward.

The outlook for Brazilian banks and their shareholders has darkened. Crude government measures to stimulate credit look dangerous while the consumer story is starting to unravel
The cosseted Brazilian banking sector is facing
unprecedented challenges. A government push to lower interest
rates and moves to encourage public sector banks to lend more
as part of a drive to squeeze spreads is coming on top of much
higher delinquency rates.
Average 90-day non-payment levels across businesses and
individuals hit 6% in May, the highest level since the series
began in 2000, according to central bank data. Individual
credit defaults reached 7.98%, the highest level since November
2009 when it reached 8%.
Private banks would like to draw in their horns on credit,
but are afraid of losing market share. The government has
already enacted a bold series of measures – which are
proving worrisome to bankers – to stimulate credit as
GDP numbers remain weak.
According to the central bank's latest poll of
leading economists, Brazil's economy will grow by
just 2.01% this year, a...

|Google Docs get new fonts, templates
Thursday, 03 May 2012 12:38
Google bolsters its Web-based document editing platform with a number of updates.
Google has added new and expanded functionality to its Google Docs service, with the introduction of 450 fonts and 60 new document templates.
Other updates during the past month have included: the integration of Google Docs in the new Google Drive cloud storage service, the addition of various image options (including searching for images in the LIFE Photo archive), improved support for screen readers, and improvements to Apps Script.
Prior to the latest update, fonts on Google Docs were limited to the standard choices of Arial, Georgia, Trebuchet, Courier, Comic Sans and Verdana. The 450 new fonts are those currently available on the Google Web Fonts page for Web designers.
The fonts are not added automatically to the font menu; users can rather select the "Add fonts" option to select one of the new fonts. Once a font has been selected, it will then appear in the font menu within Google Docs.
Details on the update can be found on the Google Docs blog.
