In November - December 2014, polo aficionados will be able to enjoy this fascinating championship featuring three weeks of competition pitting the world's eight best teams (28-40 goals) against each other at Campo argentino de Polo in Palermo, a Buenos Aires district popularly known as the "Cathedral of Polo".
Jaeger-leCoultre and Polo
In 2013, Jaeger-LeCoultre enjoyed the honour of becoming the official sponsor and timekeeper of the 120th Argentine Polo Open of Palermo - one of the oldest polo tournaments in the world, which celebrated in 2013 its 120th anniversary.
Jaeger-LeCoultre and Polo
This was a daunting challenge, since all previous watchmaking inventions designed to protect the glass had sacrificed functionality on the altar of protection. Like all revolutionary achievements, the new watch was to be based on a simple idea that nobody had yet thought of, namely an entirely swivelling case. Paris, 4 March 1931: engineer Alfred Chauvot filed a patent application for "a watch that can slide in its cradle and swivel completely on its axis".
"The Reverso is the watch that means Polo. For me there is no other watch that is more
related to polo. I'm lucky to own a Reverso, otherwise I would always be late! Like Jaeger-LeCoultre, I place great value on teamwork, passion, elegance and, no doubt most importantly, in family spirit. " Jaeger-LeCoultre Ambassador, Eduardo Novillo Astrada.
At the start of the 20th century, the long reign of the pocket watch was coming to an end. People were beginning to wear watches on their wrist. In 1930, César de Trey, a businessman who was well known in Swiss watchmaking and a friend of Jacques-David LeCoultre, went to India to meet some old friends. After a polo match, a player showed him his watch with its broken glass and charged him with the task of creating a model sturdy enough to be able to stand up to polo playing without being damaged.
As a connoisseur of watchmaking, César de Trey knew that the workshops run by Jacques-David LeCoultre had the expertise required to make high-quality movements and that they were the only ones to display such consistent inventiveness. It led to the birth of the Reverso watch, an icon of Art Deco!
While retaining its original personality, the watch has evolved with the times and shifted with a wide variety of changing needs. Like a jewel box, it contains a real heritage of passion and watchmaking expertise.
Ever since 1931, the ties between the legendary swivelling case and polo have remained ingrained in the very fibres of the Reverso, which has proved capable of constantly evolving and adapting to each new era. Jaeger-LeCoultre is more closely linked to polo than ever, through regular sporting partnerships in a number of countries thanks to its internationally recognised ambassadors. Jaeger-LeCoultre Polo ambassadors display their brilliant skills in the world's greatest competitions.
Whether it's a transatlantic crossing on a sailboat with friends, or the birth of a child, there are precious, life-changing moments that deserve to be recorded forever. What will be yours? Let our engraving, enamelling and gemsetting artists immortalise your legend. A Reverso just for you.
Since its creation, the reverse side of the Reverso has come to represent a space for artistic expression that is unique within the watchmaking world. Thanks to its reversible mechanism patented by Jaeger-LeCoultre, this profoundly personal timepiece offers its wearers the opportunity to either privately enjoy or share the secret gracing the second face. Every day, Jaeger-LeCoultre master engravers inscribe initials, family emblems and royal coats of arms, on Reverso watches. No matter how complex and detailed the order submitted to the Manufacture, the only limits are those of the customer's own imagination.
To give free rein to the imagination of Reverso owners, the Jaeger-LeCoultre enamelling studio offers miniature paintings in enamel. It is one of the few in the world with the expertise required for this art that almost disappeared more than a century ago. One value sums up this art: patience. The miniaturists now working in the Manufacture have mastered all the traditional techniques: grand feu, champlevé, translucent and cloisonné.
Casa Fagliano was established in 1892 in Buenos Aires, the world capital of polo. For more than a century, the Fagliano family has been devoted to the single craft of leather working and they have come to master all its secrets. Still today, descendants of the company founder perform all the tasks of this authentic family enterprise. Their products are highly sought-after by the best players who cannot imagine going into a polo match without their favourite riding boots.
Casa Fagliano agreed to create hand-crafted watch straps especially for Jaeger-LeCoultre, which are produced in strict accordance with the centuries-old tradition of working with cordovan leather, famous for its great strength. A strap from the Casa Fagliano workshops is fitted to each watch. It is distinguished by its elegant suppleness and, because it is made by hand, each strap is unique. Jaeger-LeCoultre is proud of this partnership that adds another dimension to the link between polo and the Reverso watch.

For the Hackathon event last weekend, we wanted to build a robot and decided to go for a kiwi-drive.
The kiwi-drive is a three wheel drive configurations that use special wheels to achieve omnidirectional movement.
The robot was designed in Corel Draw (that's what the laser cutter prefers) during the two weeks leading up to Hackathon and parts were purchased so that everything would be ready when the build started. We also moved the design from Corel Draw, via AutoCAD for cleanup, to SketchUp for a virtual test assembly and rendering to make sure everything would fit together.
The design was named KiwiRay, from kiwi-drive and stingray as the original design kind of looked like a stingray from above. Those design elements were later removed, but the motherboard mounting plate was shaped as a stingray instead.
The idea behind the platform was to create a design that uses only standard, easily available parts, so that anyone can reproduce it. The exception is the wheels from vexrobotics, but they can be replaced by any wheels of the same type. Other than that it uses an Arduino Uno, NEMA 23 motors, M5, M4 and M3 nuts and bolts and the chassis is cut from any 4mm material – plastic/plexiglass, wood or even metal. It can also easily be redisigned to support a wide variety of ball bearings and motors and has enough space to fit virtually any choice of motors, stepper drivers and even gear boxes if necessary
The Arduino provides a simple serial interface and does all of the required drive calculations. It also provides an add-on interface that can be accessed using the same serial link and allows up to over a hundred expansions to easily be added to the system. The first two addons will be a battery voltage monitor and an emoticon display.
The actual build went smoothly, all parts fit together nicely although some nuts turned out to be quite hard to get attached, prolonging the build time significantly. We didn't get as far as we'd like, but the entire platform was assembled during the weekend and can now be controlled over a usb-connection that will be hooked up to the on-board computer once that is finished.
See our wiki page for the details.

Pronounced: a-mi-FOS-teen
Classification: Chemoprotectant
Amifostine is a type of drug called a chemoprotectant or cytoprotectant, which is used to prevent or lessen the damage to the kidneys caused by cisplatin (a chemotherapy) or damage to the salivary glands, resulting in dry mouth, caused by radiation therapy. Amifostine works by promoting the repair of damaged tissue and binding to harmful free radicals released by cells after exposure to cisplatin.
Amifostine is given by intravenous (into a vein) infusion, over a course of a few minutes. The treatment is given 15-30 minutes before radiation or chemotherapy starts. Patients are given the infusion while lying down and their blood pressure is monitored. Patients may be asked to increase their fluid intake for 24 hours before the infusion. The actual dose a patient receives is based on his/her height and weight.
There are a number of things you can do to manage the side effects of Amifostine. Talk to your doctor or nurse about these recommendations. They can help you decide what will work best for you. These are some of the most common side effects:
Nausea and vomiting caused by amifostine may last for up to 24 hours. It is a good idea to have something light to eat before your treatment. The makers of amifostine recommend taking anti-nausea medicine 1-2 hours before the infusion. If you continue to have nausea or vomiting, notify your doctor or nurse so they can help you manage this side effect. In addition, dietary changes may help. Avoid things that may worsen the symptoms, such as heavy or greasy/fatty, spicy or acidic foods (lemons, tomatoes, oranges). Try antacids, (e.g. milk of magnesia, calcium tablets such as Tums), saltines, or ginger ale to lessen symptoms. Read the Nausea & Vomiting Tip Sheet for more suggestions.
Low blood pressure typically occurs 15 minutes after the start of the infusion and lasts 5-15 minutes. It may be associated with dizziness or feeling faint, which is why patients are asked to lie down during the infusion. This symptom generally resolves on its own, but some patients may need the infusion to be stopped and for intravenous fluids to be given.
Amifostine can cause the level of calcium in your blood to decrease. Symptoms of low blood calcium include muscle spasms and/or twitching, a numbness or tingling of fingers, toes or around the mouth. If this occurs, your healthcare team may ask you to take calcium supplements (like Tums) to correct this problem.
See OncoLink's section on fatigue for helpful tips on dealing with this side effect.
Sneezing, hiccups, flushing or redness of the skin.

First Look: Toy Story 3 - Xbox 360
Intuitive gameplay, huge world to explore, lots of dip in and out fun
No addictive linear plot
The groan omitted by video gamers when a title is announced to support a Hollywood film can usually be measured on the Richter Scale. But it's a brow-wiping relief to say that they'll be no such reaction for Toy Story 3 when it arrives on consoles and handhelds on 15 July.
The game has been developed for Disney Interactive Studios by Avalanche Software who mercifully decided to do something different to the usual here's-a-few-levels-based-on-some-memorable-scenes-in-the-game approach, and have come up with a prospect that is as interesting in a social setting as it is in a gaming one.
When you start up the game, the main menu screen is depicted very neatly, and in keeping with the Toy Story world, as board game with different buildings - some small, some large - and a large crayon used as your cursor. In one corner is the smaller part of the game which is the story portion. Here it is very much as you'd expect for a modern, well thought out 3D platform/puzzle game. Your avatars are Woody, Jessie and Buzz and you take the gang through levels of action from the game where you're toy-sized in a human world, as well as imagination levels where you're no longer in a land of giants.
Each avatar has its own special abilities and between the three of them, you puzzle your way from point A to point B. It's done very smoothly, controls are obvious and intuitive and the optional help system is simple, unobtrusive, quick and clear using pictorial ghost animations as clues rather than swathes of instructions and menu text. What's more, with full access to the Toy Story 3 studios and sets, the graphics are excellent and identical to what you'll see at the cinema. But that's the dull stuff. You don't want to know about that.
The lion's share of the game's experience is taken up with what's known as the Toy Box. You pick one of the three avatars to be and you're given a town of which you are sheriff, although in actuality the role is probably closer to that of a mayor or town council but that's a tougher sell to kids. Your town starts off small and is, essentially, a sim-type environment that you can grow and develop without any of the sim need for management, in that same agonising resources kind of way. Again, an economics lesson is probably not what the target audience is after here.
Instead, it is a case of finding and executing small missions and sub-games in order to either unlock new buildings or get enough money to buy them. As your town gets bigger, you get more people, access to more interesting properties and each one of those has new effects and influences your town itself. The biggest watchword for the whole experience, though, has to be customisation. You can interact with all the townsfolk and give them haircuts, hats, masks, clothes, make them into zombies, give them bat wings, make them angels and just do pretty much anything you can think of. By the same token, you can do the same with the look of the buildings themselves.
Through your platform missions, which take place in and around the town, you unlock new customisations and you can even find them, as well as new toys to play with, hidden about your world. On top of that, there's also deluxe environment buildings that bring wholesale changes to your toy box as well as providing new mission-playable levels within, with goals, toys and customisations to unlock of their own.
There's Sid's Haunted House, Zorgs Space Station and Lotso's Enchanted House as the deluxe environments as well as stunt tracks to drive toy cars on, mines to rail slide in and even Bullseye the mule's race track. It's excellent to see the level of detail and imagination that Avalanche has taken it to, and from first looks at least, the scope of the game is mind-boggling.
Perhaps the only thing that niggles at the back of your mind as you watch all of this unfold is whether it matters or not that there's really no plot behind it. Will the game be as compelling and impossible to put down without the drive to get to the end and finish it? It's not even a question of whether you'd bother so much if another game that did have that element would always make it onto your console instead.
But then, the target audience of Toy Story 3 isn't really us. Sure there's an aim to appeal to adults, but it's really 10-13-year-olds where the sweet spot lies and the idea of the game is to provide play in the way that people might have with dolls and action figures in generations gone by. The research done by Avalanche is that children just don't do that in the same way any more. What the studio is hoping is that this age group will do it instead in the virtual world.
You have to applaud both Avalanche for having the desire to make a movie game that's innovative and different and the vision of Pixar to let them do so. Toy Story 3 is undeniably a highly entertaining play. It's imaginative, creative, fun and just the kind of thing that even the toughest of stern faced anti-video game psychologists might both encourage their children to play and get caught having a go on themselves.
There are question marks over its lasting appeal and its place as a reinvention of childhood make-believe, but full credit to this title for giving it a shot even if time dictates that it doesn't quite come off. Parents rest assured. Children prepare to be enthralled.

Very interesting that this thread was bumped, because I think it was a mention of To Kill a Mocking-Bird in another thread that prompted me to re-read it for the zillionth time last week.
It is in my top ten of favourite books - books that made an impact on me when I first read them and in which I find something new with every new reading. But I never had to study it at school and I can't help but wonder whether that might have killed it for me. I mean, I had to do Bleak House for English A-level and hated it at the time. Just couldn't 'get' Charles Dickens and thus avoided reading any Dickens for years and years.
You can be a Brit and sort of get away with not reading Dickens, yet still know about the books, thanks to films and TV serials - or, when I'm having a whimsical turn, I sometimes think there's a kind of cultural osmosis that permeates a country so its citizens have a shared knowledge of its great literature.
Be that as it may, I came a cropper when the BBC did a serialisation of a lesser known Dickens novel, Our Mutual Friend, a few years ago. Terrific stuff, but I couldn't wait to find out what happened, so had to go and buy a copy of the book. What a revelation! I found I loved Dickens. Then I bought Bleak House and realised for the first time what a truly great book it is. I still have a LOT of Dickens left to read, though.
Oops - that went off topic. I'm just glad I read To Kill a Mocking-bird for pleasure and not because I had to write essays about it.
BTW, thanks, Tony - I never knew that Harper Lee based the character of Dill on Truman Capote! It's clear that Dill is going to grow up to be a writer, though.

Thanks to the stroker upgrade in part three, Modern Mouse was thumping out some serious power and torque. Our series began by subjecting the 5.3L to cylinder heads, cams, and an LSXR intake manifold. From there, we followed up with even wilder cams and a small dose of nitrous oxide.
Not content to leave well enough alone, we decided it was time for some additional displacement in the form of a 383 stroker assembly from Procomp Electronics and Probe Racing. In addition to a sizable increase in average power production, the forged crank, rods, and pistons also provided sufficient internal strength to allow us to safely subject the little rodent to boost. If you are looking to transform a good motor into a great performer, simply add boost! Whether it comes from a turbo or blower, boost acts as a multiplier for the existing normally aspirated combination. The better the normally aspirated power, the lower the boost required to achieve a desired power output. Adding boost to our (already healthy) 383 stroker pushed the power output up into the serious zone.
Given the popularity of the current small-block, it should come as no surprise that a number of options exist for LS enthusiasts looking to add boost. Each system offers its own benefits and limitations, but for our needs we chose a 2.9L, twin-screw supercharger from Whipple Industries. Not only does it help our Mouse make serious horsepower, but if you are running cathedral-port heads (like we are), you choices in a positive displacement supercharger are limited. This one fills the bill nicely.
As with our previous adventures with Modern Mouse, the object was not to maximize power production but rather to illustrate what is possible at reasonable (street) boost levels. Further illustrating this point was the fact that we never ran more than 9.2 psi of boost. The Whipple certainly had more to offer, and the motor would safely take more pressure (and power), but maximum output is not always the answer.
Super Chevy readers will remember that the stroker combination from part 3 consisted of a forged crank, rods, and pistons from Procomp Electronics and Probe Racing. Trick Flow Specialties supplied a set of CNC-ported Gen X 215 heads and a Track Max cam. The mild hydraulic roller offered 0.575 lift (both intake and exhaust), a 220/224-degree duration split (@ 0.050), and a 114-degree lobe separation angle. Run with a FAST LSXR intake, 102mm throttle body, and a set of 1-3/4-inch long-tube headers, the 383 produced 510 hp and 507 lb-ft of torque. While we appreciated the combination of power, torque, and idle quality, we couldn't help but marvel at the power numbers produced by Modern Mouse's wilder sibling, Mayhem Mouse (see part 3 of our series). We didn't want the elevated compression or wilder cam timing of that combination, but we decided to split the difference by subjecting Modern Mouse to yet another cam change. Out came the mild TrackMax grind and in went a slightly wilder profile from Comp Cams. The LSR cathedral-port grind increased the lift split to 0.617/0.624, the duration figures to 231/239 and the LSA to 113 degrees. Once again the factory hydraulic roller lifters were reused.
Naturally we had to reestablish a baseline in normally aspirated trim prior to the installation of the 2.9L Whipple twin-screw supercharger. It is important to remember that any gains offered in normally aspirated trim can be multiplied by the boost. The higher the normally aspirated power output, the lower the boost required to achieve a desired power output. The lower the boost, the lower the inlet air temperature, which further minimizes the chance of harmful detonation. The upshot of all this is that it is possible to run elevated power levels safely on pump gas.
Run once again with the new Comp LSR cam, FAST LSXR intake and TFS GenX 215 heads, Modern Mouse produced 541 hp at 6,100 rpm and 518 lb-ft at 4,700 rpm (peak gains of 31 hp and 10 lb-ft). Equipped with the new cam, the power was up from 3,000 rpm to redline from our previous test, always a good sign. The idle vacuum had dropped by just over 1 inch but was still more than acceptable for a daily driver. The 383 offered a broad, usable torque curve, with torque production exceeding 475 lb-ft from 3,800 rpm to 6,000 rpm. With our normally aspirated power output up by over 30 hp, it was time for some boost.

Recent hijacking of campus employee email accounts have led to email spam of over 10,000 addresses per hour. This deluge of spam damages the University's reputation and causes specific sites to reject all mail from @uky.edu. Therefore, beginning July 1, 2013, University of Kentucky Exchange users will be limited to sending email to 250 recipients in a 24 hour period.
Email recipients are calculated differently for individual email addresses versus distribution lists. When an email is sent to ten email addresses and another email is sent to twenty, a total of thirty recipients have been emailed (even if some recipients were sent both emails). However an Exchange Distribution List with 10-250 email addresses only counts as one recipient. When the email recipient limit is exceeded, an UK employee will receive the following error message: "This message can't be sent. This email account has reached the university email recipient limit of 250 recipients in a 24-hour period. Questions can be directed to the University of Kentucky Service Desk at 859-218-HELP (859-218-4357)."
Reports indicate only a small number of UK employees email more than 250 recipients per day. These employees can request a higher limit of 1000 recipients per day. If an employee needs to email more than 1000 addresses per day a Listserv or mailing service should be considered, but immediate needs to email a large number of recipients can also be requested. These requests should be submitted to the Service Desk at email@example.com or 859-218-HELP (859-218-4357).

AD 117: The Roman Empire stretches from Egypt to Spain, and East as far as the Black Sea. But in northern Britain, the relentless onslaught of conquest has ground to a halt in face of the guerrilla tactics of an elusive enemy: the savage and terrifying tribes known as the Picts. Quintus, sole survivor of a Pictish raid on a Roman frontier fort, marches north with General Virilus' legendary Ninth Legion, under orders to wipe the Picts from the face of the earth and destroy their leader Gorlacon. But, when the legion is ambushed on unfamiliar ground, and Virilus taken captive, Quintus faces a desperate struggle to keep his small platoon alive behind enemy lines.
Rated R for sequences of strong bloody violence, grisly images and language.

Overall Great Product
This is a very sturdy, good looking rack with colorful medicine balls. Relatively easy to assemble (I am a woman and was able to assemble by myself). I did have have two minor issues (the 2 lbs. ball was under-inflated and one of the ball circles was bent/paint chipped). However, I contacted CAP Barbell customer service via email and they responded quickly and are sending replacements. One other quirk is that one of the medicine balls had a slimy film but CAP Barbell customer service suggested washing with a mild soap and water. Overall, I am extremely pleased with this product. The price was right and this looks so good it could be in a commercial gym (I'm using it for our home gym). Plus if someone needs to contact CAP Barbell customer service...they were very responsive and so far has provided exceptional service.Read More

Of all the business operations we fulfill on a daily basis, signature requests seem so ordinary we rarely give them a second thought. Yet it's precisely because they are so common and a regular part of just about every business activity or process that we forget the many costs, obstructions and delays it imposes.
While not every company is exposed to these expenses, organisations that trim or eliminate these will realise measurable benefits. Join on us on this webinar to learn how we can help fit this into your Alfresco platform.
