State appropriation
In May 2008, Alaska enacted legislation authorizing the creation of a renewable energy grant fund. The legislation recommended that the program be administered by the Alaska Energy Authority (AEA). The grant program is intended to provide assistance to utilities, independent power producers, local governments, and tribal governments for feasibility studies, reconnaissance studies, energy resource monitoring, and work related to the design and construction of eligible facilities. In order to be eligible for a grant, a project must be located within Alaska. The list of eligible technologies includes solar, wind, geothermal, hydrothermal, certain types of biomass, biogas, wave, tidal, waste heat utilization, river in-stream power, and hydropower. Also eligible are fuel cells that use hydrogen generated from an eligible renewable resource or natural gas; certain natural gas projects located in small communities; and, electricity or natural gas transmission and distribution infrastructure projects that link an eligible project to related infrastructure.
The AEA will not actually approve projects; it will issue recommendations to the state legislature, which will make funding decisions. There is usually one round of funding per fiscal year, with the first solicitation taking place in September 2008. Funding for Round III, FY2011, was slightly lower than the $50 million anticipated by the legislature; funding for FY2011 was $25 million. The Round IV application period opened July 21, 2010 and closed on Sept. 15, 2010. Solicitations accepted during one fiscal year are funded in the following fiscal year. Although there are no firm limits on grant amounts or minimum applicant contributions, applications with matching funds will be looked upon favorably.
HB 250 (2012) states an intention to provide $50 million in funding for each of the 10 fiscal years until the program expires on June 30, 2023. The original enabling legislation stated an intention to provide $50 million in funding annually to the program for five years, but $125 million was appropriated for Rounds I and II of funding - the FY 2009 program. The initial allocation plan recommends that 20% of the funding go to reconnaissance, feasibility and resource studies, and the remaining 80% be awarded to final design, permitting and construction projects.
See the program web site for additional details, including information on funding and eligibility questions.

I'm an Anne fan too, started off with the Dragons, then found the Crystal Singer tales. Love the Petaybee stories.
Not keen on the Catteni tales, the Dinosaur Planet ones continued into The Planet Pirates series and not really my cuppa Klah.
The Acorna ones are beginning to slip, I feel. Loved the series that developed from The Ship Who Sang. Also love the series which started with To Ride Pegasus, and developed into the Tower stories.
My faves though are tha Doona/Rrala stories, only three, unfortunately, and a standalone title which I would have loved to see developed further, published in the States as The Lady, in the UK as The Carradine Touch. Not science-fiction at all, but rather a fairly modern horse story based around the founding of the Irish Horse Board, (Bord NaG Capall).
Unfortunately, I feel that as Anne has loosened the reins on Acorna to Elizabeth Ann Scarborough, the tales are slipping away from the original intent. I feel that the same happened with The Planet Pirates.
Just my particular feelings on these,

Im honestly not sure what you're trying to say. I wasn't trying to say that you dont think life exists but that the article isn't about life. I was also stating that credible scientist don't disagree that there is life out there, just that we have no evidence for it currently. So Im not sure what you're confused about.
Oh I see what's happening now. Okay, I understand what you are saying my friend. I hope you have a great night and I'm sorry for the misunderstanding.

Landmark Research from Axsium and Empathica Draws Concrete Link Between Customer Experience and the Workforce
New York, NY, January 16, 2012 — Axsium Group, the world's largest independent workforce management consulting firm, today announced the release of a whitepaper, jointly presented with Empathica, drawing a concrete link between retail customer experience and the workforce. The whitepaper is available at booth #2068 during the NRF 101st Annual Convention & Expo, or for download. "We all have stories about how an associate made a difference in our personal shopping experience, changing the course of a purchase and helping to build brand loyalty. And while these stories reinforce how important we think the associate is to the customer experience, they have historically served as mere anecdotes," said Bob Clements, senior principal, Axsium Group. "To date, there has been no study or survey to back up these great stories with hard data. That is, there haven't been any studies until now." The basis for this study comes from Empathica's latest Consumer Insights Panel survey, which polled 5,000 consumers with specific questions about consumer shopping behavior and the impact of associate and management interaction on their buying behaviors. High level findings include:
The study goes beyond sharing the findings, and moves retailers forward with an actionable self-assessment that evaluates the current state of their customer experience and workforce alignment. And, the study provides retailers with a road map to move forward toward a well aligned workforce strategy that guarantees to deliver a legendary customer experience.

Through the myopic prism of March, the home team looks weak.
And worse still by comparison.
Not only are the Chargers not doing anything flashy, their main rivals are getting splashy.
The Kansas City Chiefs started weeks ago, getting a new starting quarterback and locking up their left tackle and best receiver. The Denver Broncos, already two-time defending champions of the AFC West, are now pouring copious amounts of salt on the gashes in the Chargers' pride.
The one free agent prize the Chargers wanted to keep was guard Louis Vasquez. Not only did he sign with another team a couple hours into the new league year on Tuesday, he signed with the Broncos.
On Wednesday, Denver signed Wes Welker. Not just any receiver to help ease Peyton Manning into retirement, but a guy who has averaged 112 receptions and six touchdowns over the past six seasons — and who began his career as a Charger, as is lamented here at every possible opportunity.
The Chargers? They went with Plan B at cornerback after Jerraud Powers signed with the Arizona Cardinals. Late Wednesday, they signed Derek Cox, who has started 45 games but has also had injury trouble almost every one of his four NFL seasons.
Cox is not guaranteed to be an upgrade or even status quo at the position. The Chargers were looking for a fill-in.
Landing a cornerback followed the signings of a kicker, a long snapper, a guard and a tackle who might be backups and claiming a running back off waivers.
Folks, it has long been my penchant to caution against letting March and April's perceived success being your lone predictor for real success September through January. But, man, this could get extremely ugly.
Fact is, though, what is happening should not be a surprise.
The Broncos embarked on improving the best team in the AFC West with cap space to do so. The Chargers are trying to rebuild a middling team with limited cap space.
Don't blame the Chargers' relative inactivity on new General Manager Tom Telesco, though I'm having a hard time seeing what his plan is other than to take two years to challenge for a return to the postseason.
(I say that with full knowledge that Telesco was the No. 2 personnel man with the Indianapolis Colts, who in 2012 went 11-5 while constantly retooling a roster hamstrung by dead money.)
Telesco acknowledged the Chargers were not going to be able to pay Vasquez the $5.875 million a year he got from the Broncos. But wherever that money is going has not been manifest yet. In the short term, all he has done by allowing Vasquez to leave was say to Chargers players that they won't be rewarded.
However, this is not Telesco's mess. He's just charged with rearranging it.
The flop of last year's Chargers free agent class not only hurt on the field in 2012, it is hindering them at the negotiating table in 2013. It is actually keeping them away from said table.

Carthay Circle Restaurant occupies the second floor of a detailed reproduction of the iconic Carthay Circle Theatre. The original Carthay Circle Theatre, built in 1926, played a significant role in the life of Walt Disney. His first feature-length film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, premiered there in 1937, and in 1941, groundbreaking stereophonic Fantasound was installed in the theatre for the West Coast premiere of Disney's Fantasia.
Carthay Circle Restaurant's decor reflects the romance and glamour of Hollywood's Golden Age, including references to the accomplishments of Walt Disney and his original animators. See Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Courvoisier cels—the only animated art ever to hang in Walt Disney's home—and charming pastoral scenes from the movie painted on the vaulted ceiling of the main dining room.
Seating is also available on 2 open-air terraces and in 4 private dining rooms. Host a star-studded bash of up to 20 Guests in the Hollywood room, or keep it exclusive with the Hyperion or Buena Vista room, both of which seat up to 5. The in-between Premiere room can accommodate a Guest list of 12.
Make a grand entrance at the Carthay Circle Theatre via the stylish lobby lounge and sip on artfully crafted cocktails.
The dimly lit, elegantly appointed Carthay Circle Lounge is found on the first floor, serving swanky signature cocktails, craft beer, California wines, seltzer sodas and a full bar. For a libation unlike any other, try the Carthay Martini, made with Hendrick's gin and bleu cheese-stuffed truffle olives, all kept perfectly chilled with an ice sphere made from locally sourced purified water. Ask to see how it's made and prepare to be astonished! Each of the handcrafted cocktails at the Carthay Circle Lounge is served in unique glassware with ices designed to complement the drink in question. Walt's drink of choice, the Scotch Mist, is also on the menu.
Elegant bar bites and snacks inspired by Southern California's diversity play a strong supporting role and include the Vietnamese twice-cooked beef taco, warm Spanish pimentos with imported chorizo, Santa Monica deviled eggs with smoked salmon and lemon crème fraiche, and the ebi shrimp roll with red jalapeño and soy. Darling finger desserts, including trios of cake pops and mini mousse cones, are likely to draw a standing ovation.
Prepare for an unforgettable evening—complete with 3-course, prix fixe dining and a reserved spot in the World of Color preferred viewing area!
Advance reservations for dining at Carthay Circle Restaurant are highly recommended. For booking, please check availability and make your reservations online, or call (714) 781-DINE or (714) 781-3463 up to 60 days prior to your visit.

Don't let a rock spoil your fun. Give your BMW F800GS the best protection with a heavy duty steel grid headlight guard from Touratech.
Built for off-road riding and trips around the world, Touratech uses oversized steel wire to build a solid grid barrier to protect the light assembly. The headlight guard is powder coated black for a clean look and years of protection from the elements.
Installation is easy with the guard simply bolting onto the headlight assembly of the F800GS or F650GS twin. This headlight guard has been developed to meet the demands of off-road riding.
"A steel headlight guard, from Touratech, saved me from riding home in the dark after fending off a fast-moving piece of granite from a faster-moving KTM."
Tim Carrithers, Motorcyclist Magazine
I have put 12,000 miles on my F800GS with this guard. At least half of these miles have been on dirt and gravel roads. My headlight has never had a problem. Thumbs up on this guard.
By Tony Ball on Dec 13, 2011 at 07:12:06 PM
I have used this headlight guard for nearly 3 years now and it has protected my headlight without fail. Much of my riding has been off-road in the mountains with other bikes kicking up gravel and rocks. Installation was easy.

UFC fighter Chael Sonnen had several inches of his colon removed during emergency surgery on Nov. 15 - one day before his first-round loss to Rashad Evans at UFC 167.
Sonnen confirmed that he had the procedure during a taping of TSN's Off The Record on Wednesday, after host Michael Landsberg revealed that a source told him about it.
"It's a little bit of a surprise that you had that information," replied Sonnen when asked whether he had undergone surgery.
Despite the medical emergency, Sonnen did not withdraw from the scheduled matchup in Las Vegas on Nov. 16 and was defeated in a first-round TKO.
"When I sign a contract to fight, I'm agreeing to fight a guy on a certain day at a certain time and in a certain venue," he continued. "It's my job to feel good when I go out and do it and if I don't that may play a hand in the fight."
Landsberg's full interview with Sonnen will air Wednesday at 5pm et/2pm pt on TSN.
Holy fuck. If this is true, I don't know how the athletic commission could have missed this and let this happen. I think him going on with the fight despite having part of his colon removed is both incredibly stupid and ballsy. One thing is for sure though, Chael Sonnen is tough as hell.
EDIT: I just watched part of the interview, and Chael didn't come out right and say that he had the surgery. He didn't confirm that this is true but I can't wait to see the rest of the interview tonight. If the mods want to Noobjack this story for now, that's cool but I'm very interested in seeing how this develops.

CBS didn't waste any time in announcing DAVID LETTERMAN'S replacement. STEPHEN COLBERT will take over "The Late Show" sometime next year, although there's no specific timetable yet. CBS also confirmed that Stephen is dropping the super conservative character he plays on "The Colbert Report".
CRAIG FERGUSON is welcoming STEPHEN COLBERT to CBS, even though he probably wanted to be DAVID LETTERMAN'S successor. However, there's speculation that Craig had a clause in his contract that awarded him a payout of at least $5 MILLION if he wasn't given "The Late Show".
According to a new British survey, men want a woman with Megan Fox's face and Kim Kardashian's boobs. But women would rather have Cara Delevingne's face and Jennifer Aniston's boobs. –No shocker there!
"Life & Style" magazine put together a list of stars we LOVE TO HATE, and I think they mostly nailed it. They chose Katherine Heigl, Gwyneth Paltrow, Mel Gibson, Anne Hathaway, Gisele Bundchen, Alec Baldwin and Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.
Selena Gomez has fired her parents, who've been managing her career since she scored it big on the Disney channel. TMZ says Selena gave her mother and her stepfather the axe last month, because "she believes she's now old enough -- and famous enough -- to have a seasoned professional manager with other A-list clients."

Thursday, April 10, 2014
SHIA LABEOUF did a good deed this week, when he left a restaurant to give a homeless guy in a wheelchair some lunch. A "source" says Shia shook his hand, said 'God bless you,' and came back to finish his food.
AMANDA BYNES seemed OUT OF HER MIND for a while, but apparently her insanity is a thing of the past . . . or so her people would have you believe. Her lawyer says Amanda hasn't commented about what's going on with her, because she wants to, quote, "keep her mental health diagnosis private." She adds, quote, "However, Amanda asked me to dispel certain rumors. For the record, she does not have schizophrenia, nor has she ever been diagnosed with it. Amanda currently is on zero medication. She has never had a history of abusing alcohol or hard drugs, and she's proud to say she's been marijuana-free for the past nine months."
LINDSAY LOHAN was on "Letterman" last night . . . and during her interview, she and Dave prank called OPRAH WINFREY. It wasn't much of a "prank call," but Dave did pretend to be Lindsay's secretary at first. It's unclear how much of it was planned, but Oprah DID seem surprised. When Dave asked Oprah how Lindsay was doing, she didn't have a ringing endorsement. She said, quote, "I think she's doing really OK . . .
Coldplay's Chris Martin thinks his estranged wife Gwyneth Paltrow is spreading cheating rumors about him. A source told RadarOnline: "Chris now believes that Gwyneth is leaking rumors about his alleged trysts in an effort to smear his image and make him look less sympathetic. Gwyn is so angry that she's threatening to turn the divorce ugly, saying she's going to squeeze spousal support out of Chris, despite her multi-million dollar fortune." The couple is worth $280 million but the source says Gwyneth could take Chris for an extra $25 million!
Amber Heard and Johnny Depp recently confirmed their engagement, and according to the actress' ex-boyfriend.... she is expecting her first child. Her ex, actor Mark Wystrach, said, "She's pregnant already! I saw her three weeks ago. Amber and I dated years ago but we are still close." This would be the first child for 27-year-old Amber while 50-year-old Depp has a 14-year-old daughter and an 11-year-old son with his former partner, Vanessa Paradis.
4/9/14 Kim K Posting Fake Pics

Wednesday, April 9, 2014
In the new issue of "Elle" magazine, MILEY CYRUS says she's lucky to have emerged from Disney to find herself . . . quote, "A lot of kid stars get all crazy or stuck in what they were, so they can't actually become what they're meant to be." She also claims she's the victim of a double standard because she can't grab her crotch and have "hos" around her without being criticized like male musicians supposedly can.
KANYE WEST raps about KIM KARDASHIAN on FUTURE'S new song "I Won". He talks about "putting an angel in [Kim's] ultrasound" and wanting to "dip that ass in gold". He also sucks up to the rest of her family, saying, quote, "You could look at Kylie, Kendall, Kourtney and Khloe . . . All your mama ever made was trophies, right?"
Kim Kardashian and family vacationed in Thailand last week, posting tons of photos and videos of their luxurious travels. But it turns out that Kim has also been taking scenic photos of Thailand straight off google, passing them off as her own. Kim posted a photo with the caption, "Thank you for the beautiful memories Thailand," but fans quickly noticed that the image was among the first that show up when you google search "Thailand Beach." Kim's latest post of cherry blossoms, isn't even of Thailand. It was taken in Japan.
Last summer, GWYNETH PALTROW reportedly "treated" her friends to a marathon of HER OWN MOVIES like "Shakespeare In Love" and "Seven". A source says, quote, "She's been trotting out the old movies for her friends, but most of them would rather watch paint dry. It was pretty embarrassing."
4/8/14 Kanye's Beef with Hollywood
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Tuesday, April 8, 2014
Some of the more annoying gossip magazines have been known to refer to SCARLETT JOHANSSON as "ScarJo" . . . and she does NOT like it. She tells "Glamour" magazine, quote, "I associate that name with, like, pop stars. It sounds tacky. It's lazy and flippant . . . there's something insulting about it."
Kanye West might have access to Hollywood's A-List crowd, but that's not the case for Kim Kardashian -- which is something that Kanye wants to change. According to RadarOnline, though Hollywood A-listers view Kanye as a "serious star that people really respect, especially as a businessman, they want nothing to do with Kim." Pointing to Kim's exclusion from this year's Vanity Fair Oscar party, a source says, "Kim is just not welcome at the same places Kanye is," adding that the same is true of her mother Kris Jenner. "People want Kris around even less than they want Kim." But Kanye isn't going to take the snub lying down and apparently has been harassing Hollywood's elites to start showing his fiancée some love. And if his successful battle to get Kim on the cover of Vogue is any indication, he's going to force Hollywood to see things his way. "Kanye usually knows how to get what he wants. Whether it is going directly to a studio head or the person in charge of an event, he has no fear."
Kevin Federline sure doesn't have a six pack on his stomach anymore, but he has one in the kid department. K-Fed's wife, Victoria Prince, gave birth to a new baby girl this weekend, making it Kevin's sixth child.
Lindsay Lohan keeps promising that she is sober again and isn't doing anything to put her recovery in jeopardy even though she admitted she had "one glass of wine" shortly after leaving rehab. But RadarOnline says LiLo plans to go to the Coachella Music Festival with her alcohol loving mother, Dina, and friends are worried that this will cause her to be back on the bottle. That is, of course, if she hasn't been on it already.
4/7/14 Rihanna Preggers?
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Monday, April 7, 2014
There's a website out there that claims RIHANNA is pregnant . . . and the baby could be either DRAKE'S or CHRIS BROWN'S. There's a photo where it looks like Rihanna might have a slight baby bump. In the photo of the alleged baby bump, Rihanna is at a Starbucks with her dad. And "sources" say she got a DECAFFEINATED tea.
Also, sources say she has given up drinking AND smoking pot and cigarettes.
More personal photos of DEMI LOVATO have hit the Internet. In some, she's in bed with then-boyfriend WILMER VALDERRAMA. In others, she's naked. Demi Tweeted a picture of herself in boxing gloves, along with a Spanish phrase that means, quote, "I am strong. I am a fighter. Do not underestimate me."
SNOOKI and her fiancé JIONNI LAVALLE are expecting their second child. Snooki announced it Friday, adding, quote, "Now knowing that our test results are good and our baby is healthy, we can finally talk about it."
Justin Bieber is wearing out his welcome at home, too. Someone from Justin's hometown RIPPED into him online, for acting like a punk during a recent visit to his local Walmart. He saw Justin and around 30 friends shining flashlights into young girls' faces . . . bouncing balls . . . throwing things . . . opening food . . . and harassing employees.
Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin, took part in a spiritual healing ceremony while vacationing in the Bahamas last week. A friend close of the former couple claimed they took part in a beach ritual performed by a Kabbalah Rabbi on what they called their "break-up moon." During the service, they read from a sacred Kabbalah book, lit a fire, used stones to symbolize their continuing concrete relationship and threw pebbles into the sea to represent their "wandering spirits." They then read out: "Blessed are you in coming in and blessed are you in going out," before sharing a parting kiss.

Once again, Valentine's Day is almost upon us. This "holiday" of sorts is the perfect time to show your significant other how much he or she means to you and what better place to do that than in the kitchen.
Many couples will take this day as an opportunity to dine out at their favorite restaurant in town. While spending some extra money on your significant other at a restaurant in town allows for break from the kitchen and helps out the local economy, you can put a personal touch to everyone's favorite course: dessert. This recipe for chocolate raspberry truffles is decadent and delicious, and while the process is longer and more involved, the result is certainly worth it.
Because these delectable dessert bites can last up to two weeks in an airtight container in the refrigerator, prepare them ahead of time so you can enjoy a night out with that special someone have your own homemade dessert waiting for the perfect date nightcap. Making something from scratch in the kitchen shows that you put time and effort into creating something for your date, which makes the evening that much more special.
However, everyone is not going to have a date on Valentine's Day or have someone with which to share these truffles. Never fear, single citizens. In my experience, the only thing that should be bittersweet on Valentine's Day is your chocolate.
Go ahead and make these wonderful truffles ahead of time and when Single Awareness Day approaches, plate these desserts and scroll those DVR records you have been meaning to get to and take some time for yourself. Beware getting down on yourself, though. Instead of "The Notebook," maybe watch a bawdy comedy or even a scary movie. There is no sense in crying over perfectly good chocolate because it is not fair to you, and it is certainly not fair to the chocolate.
Whether you make a date with that special someone or just make a date with yourself and the couch, enjoy your night and save yourself some extra truffles for Feb. 15.
Recipe courtesy of http://candy.about.com.
1 package (10 oz.) frozen raspberries, thawed
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 lb semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
3/4 cup cream
2 Tbsp. light corn syrup
1 lb. chocolate candy coating, for dipping
1/4 cup red candy coating, for decoration (optional)
Place the raspberries in a blender or food processor, and process them until they are liquid. Pour the raspberry puree into a small saucepan through a strainer or cheesecloth to remove the seeds.
Add the powdered sugar to the raspberry puree and heat it over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it is thick and syrupy and reduced by about half. Remove the puree from heat and set aside for now.
Place the chopped chocolate into a large bowl. Place the cream in a small saucepan until bubbles start to form around the edges, but do not allow it to come to a full boil. Once simmering, pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and allow it to sit for a minute or two to soften and melt the chocolate.
Whisk the chocolate and cream together gently, until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth and homogenous. This is your "ganache." Add the corn syrup and raspberry puree to the chocolate mixture, and whisk it all together. Cover the surface of the ganache with cling wrap, and refrigerate until it is thick enough to scoop, at least 3 hours.
Cover a baking sheet with foil or waxed paper. Using a candy scoop or teaspoon, scoop the ganache into small balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Once all of the ganache is scooped, freeze the balls for 2 hours or until firm.
Place the candy coating in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in one-minute increments until melted, stirring after every minute to prevent overheating. Stir until the coating is completely smooth. Allow the coating to cool until it is barely warm. Do not let it start setting up, but let it cool down so that it does not melt the truffle fillings.
Using dipping tools or a fork, dip a truffle into the chocolate. Bring it out of the chocolate and allow the excess to drip back into the bowl. Place the dipped truffle back onto the baking sheet and repeat with remaining truffles and chocolate.
Place the truffles in the refrigerator to set the candy coating for about 30 minutes. If desired, you can melt red candy coating (or tint white coating with red candy coloring) and drizzle a small amount over the truffles decoratively.
Chocolate Raspberry Truffles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.View more articles in:

How do you use this part?
Because many of us would like to learn how to effectively use more of the parts in the NXT kit, I'm going to start by asking you, our readers and bloggers, to share how and when you would use this part---the TECHNIC Knob Wheel. If you include pictures (which I hope you will), please make them close-up shots.
14 comments:
This is the part to use to build 90° transmission that don't grind or slip!
- Dec 8, 2007, 10:47:00 PM
They can be used as gears.
- Dec 8, 2007, 11:57:00 PM
- Laurens Valk said...
I totally agree with both Philo and Q-tip.
They are very useful and can be used as normal gears.
As for pictures, I used knob wheels in the feet of the biped I posted earlier. I used them to make a 90° angle, like Philo described.
They are more reliable than the black bevel gears in the kit when there is a heavy load on the gears, like in the biped.
- Dec 9, 2007, 12:56:00 AM
Yes they are GREAT at 90* changes of angle or 45*. I use them only now. Thet are wonderfull and MUCH stronger as well for this. My bipeds use them X6 uses three sets. to look at it many might think its not very good but it might be the strongest gear Lego made when in a 90* set up.

I use them a lot. Check out how the knob wheels are used with the PF motor in my SUmo lifter arm to topple more than 10 lbs of weights in the video here (around a minute into it):
Sumo video with knob wheel in action
Also have a look at the comments from a previous post here

They are great for switching by 90° without adding any gearing (keeping a 1:1 ratio). They also fit in the tightest corner. Knob wheels are core to the "close & lift" gripper design in NXTCamNosey.
- Dec 9, 2007, 5:04:00 AM
I use them for claws and grippers. The only downside to them I can think of is that when you have a claw attached to them the claw can still move a little bit without turning the motor.

(Read using best grandpa voice)
Back in the old RCX days we used those as part of a homemade rotation sensor. The knobs are perfect for pressing the button on a touch sensor and you got 8 counts per revolution. Half as good as the rotation sensor.
Now leave me alone you whippersnappers. I'm going to take a nap.
- Dec 9, 2007, 4:42:00 PM
bah, back in MY day, we didn't even have knob wheels, had to make our own contraption to press the button on a touch sensor to count rotations. You crazy kids and your new-fangled built-in rotation sensors.
- Dec 10, 2007, 3:22:00 AM
I'd like to see more posts like this one. Although I think your forum may be a better solution.
For example:
Pieces are listed by name with a picture ( having it in the forum lets anyone post a picture).
I'd also like to see multiple pieces snapped together an a useful configuration , given a meaningful name, compared to a real world mechanical configuration....
To date, I haven't seen anything like this for technic pieces.

- Fay Rhodes said...
The forum is a good idea. Perhaps someone will respond with some close-up shots, so we can see the actual mechanisms.
- Dec 11, 2007, 1:30:00 AM

london reinhard,
TOUCH SENSOR? You were lucky to have a TOUCH SENSOR!
Luxury. *grmbl*
We had to build our own touch sensor with filthy cracked LEGO beams cut out from a brown paper bag with LEGO advertising on it.
Which we got for working twenty-nine hours a day down mill and pay mill owner for permission to come to work!
But you try and tell the young people today that... and they won't believe ya'.

Why I Teach
My purpose as a teacher is to provide students with the tools to become lifelong explorers and knowledge-seekers. I strive to integrate experiential and conceptual learning. Through this hands-on approach, students work together to develop the important counseling skills to further their professional careers.
The ultimate goal in teaching is to create an environment in which students learn to critically evaluate material and derive their personal conclusions about the topic. True education is not indoctrination or telling students what to think, but rather helping them to learn how to think.

I feel like such a bad Catholic...
Growing up, I volunteered a lot often helping out those in poverty stricken areas. Some of these areas have included the stripped coal mines of the Appalachian Mountains in Kentucky, the South Side of Chicago, and Eagle Pass Texas. I worked within programs that had partnered with my church to help those less fortunate. However, I found myself becoming frustrated and judgmental after working in those areas.One example included some volunteer work getting a trailor home up to building code in Kentucky. All the while we were working on the home, the owner of the home sat inside watching cable TV with his nice Camaro sitting in his driveway. It seemed as if this person wasn't suffering a hardship, they simply mismanaged how they allocated their resources. I mean, I don't even have cable TV! Again, hear me out, I swear I don't have ice water in my veins, I just sometimes struggle offering help given a scenario such as that.
To make a long story short, my business background has taught me something to the effect of, "Give a man a fish, and he'll be hungry in a day. Teach a man to fish, and he'll never go hungry." Therefore rather than issue the 'handout', I'm enticed to think many in unfortunate situations could greatly benefit from skills, education, training, and so forth to help them help themselves. By simply giving them food/money/assistance, we are essentially offering a positive reinforcement for them to stay in the same situation they are in (the same could be said for social programs offered by State/Federal government). Again, this is the economist in me coming alive. People will act in their own self interests and incentives.
However, I know this is NOT what the Bible teaches. There are plenty of passages regarding God's intention for us to take care of the poor, love thy neighbor, give away all of our possessions and follow him, to whom much is given much is expected, and so forth. Again, not that I'm abandoning the poor, I just have a hard time given my educational mission based on Adam Smith and Milton Friedman (Everyone acting in their own self interests is the best way for society to operate). I guess in the textbook, this holds true. But, I know that this is far from God's intention of the way we should live our lives.
Pardon all of my rambling. I was just having a conflict of conscious during my volunteering. This is something I'm certainly going to pray about for answers. Do any of you have any insight?

I recently had it out on Facebook with liberal friends of mine (yes I have them...no they don't know I do this, I want to keep them) who admonished me and the right for spreading lies that, among other things, Obama wants to abolish private health insurance.
In addition to being a great place to watch user generated video youtube makes a handy cricket sound maker for liberal propagadists. More on that in a bit...
Without a doubt Obama is the most I.T. savvy president yet, but like everything else in the "ship of state" this is little consolation considering the internet is probably the worst thing that could ever happen to politicians.
Its really cool that the president knows how to blog and email and twitter and myspace and blackberry and lightsaber and teleport and has developed an iPhone app that makes his poop smell like hope....but in spite of all of this Obama's administration has maintained a Defcon Biden level of stupidity when it comes to the way they act and the tactics it has engaged in to promote its agenda with technology. Even though they have it and they know how to use it their rhetorical strategies continue to party like its 1989.
But it's 2009 and the media isn't a one way street anymore. The Democrats STILL have their allies, but the (conservative) opposition that doesn't want their opinion given to them are the ones who have truly made an ally out of technology.
The newspapers are dying, the big 3 networks are dinosaurs, cable news is rising because they can out report the dinosaurs, and talk radio is second to the internet as king of the mountain. Liberals can't say whatever they want and get protection from old media, information spreads too fast now for lies to stick.
Dan Rather's career as a news giant ended when he was conducting a routine liberally biased story about George W. Bush and 1973 National Guard memos created in Microsoft Word and it was quickly exposed by some cheeto stained blogger who told could tell more people in the time it takes Rather to do a commercial break than probably watched his broadcast in the first place. If the story wasn't so ethically challenged it probably would've been a boon to his ratings since it would remind millions of Americans that CBS actually had something to watch before Everybody Loves Raymond and Survivor.
The only silver lining I can think of out of the whole incident is that somebody finally got to explain to the then 73 year old what the internet is.
Considering stories like Rather's still in recent memory when will these idiots in Washinton D.C. ever figure out you can't say one thing one year and then claim you've never said it the next? YOYObama (my nickname for him until the end of this paragraph) is proving to be to be the rascal king of this. How does he continue to make fools out of his supporters who parrot his lies about not wanting to basically abolish private health care when videos like this exist:
Good lord the I want to say I'm desensitized to this garbage, but I think my anger is amplified by the fact that the sheer arrogance of their lying is so easy to expose AND THEY STILL DO IT! As for my friend, I presented this to her and I got the only rebuttal possible, it was......

Its been such a long time since I've made a baby quilt for no reason at all! Its so relaxing after doing lots of large quilts since they go together so quickly. Especially when using an easy pattern that I've made before (this pattern). Love that.
The colors in this quilt are picked out of that Riley Blake Bloom and Grow fabric (the vines)…I bought mine here a while back, but you can also find it in other colors here.
The backing is an Amy Butler print with a strip of patchwork down the side, the binding is Sandi Henderson. I quilted loopty-loops all over this one and its in the etsy shop.

From Tickfaw to Shongaloo is a comic Southern tale told in the first person by Raylene, a local gossip in little Stokely, Louisiana. Bert Dilly the postmaster (we learn), has been spreading town gossip (like everyone else), fueled by his habit of being a little too involved with the local mail (opened or not). A disgruntled maiden lady writes a scathing letter of complaint, which is reported to the state postmaster, and Bert's brother, J.T., accuses Bert of mental incompetence (he wants the family land). Bert is replaced until the charges can be taken up by a federal court in Baton Rouge.

Spring football practice was an exciting and new kind of experience for the Starkville Academy Volunteers.
The Volunteers are coming off a MAIS Division II South championship and a loss to Washington School in the Class AAA, Division II State championship game.
SA head coach Jeff Terrill did not have all of his players due to the fact that the baseball team played into mid May in the baseball playoffs.
"The attitude was great," Terrill said. "We started spring practice on time but we were missing a lot of our skill athletes with their great season in baseball. We were really able to do a lot of quality work with the offense, defensive line and linebackers. They just showed a great attitude. We got a lot done."
The baseball players did get an opportunity to participate in the last few practices.
The good thing for Terrill and the Vols is most of the baseball players who play football are skill players. Terrill can work with those guys in the summer.
"It would have been difficult except for the fact that coach Terrill's personal philosophy is spring is all about the lineman," Terrill said. "You can do so much in the summer with your skill athletes to prepare and work them. You only get a little window that you can put those shoulder pads and helmets on and take the right stuff. Our focus has always been on that anyway so having those lineman the whole time really did us some good."
The Volunteers are losing some big pieces. Offensive and defensive lineman Angus Catchot and fullback Ryan Mann have graduated.
Catchot was a force in the middle and Mann was the workhorse for the offense.
"Those are two exceptional high school football players," Terrill said. "Angus was the first All-State player that I have had here. Ryan Mann rushed for over 1,200 yards."
Two candidates to step up on the offensive line will be Trip Jennesson and Cole Phelps.
"We have a junior from Ackerman, Trip Jennesson, who I think is going to be one of the best we've ever had," Terrill said. "Great quickness and great speed. Cole Phelps, who is two-year starter and going to be a senior this year, just looked like a different player. We do think we have some great offensive lineman coming back."
For the offense, senior quarterback, Drew Pellum returns.
Pellum played baseball so did not get a whole lot of work in the spring, but Terrill is excited about him.
"With our quarterback (Pellum) coming back, I think we will be able to do some additional things on offense and throw the ball a lot better," Terrill said. "He looks like a different guy being a senior."
The SA defense was solid all year long so Terrill doesn't look to change that.
"We want to be able to play great defense, we want to be able to run the football first and we want to be able to be a physical team a blue-collar team," Terrill said. "That is the kind of atmosphere we try to create in practice and I think our kids buy into it."
The Vols play in Jackson Academy's jamboree on August 10 and open the season on the road at St. Andrews on August 17.
(Editor's Note: This story is the fourth in a series recapping spring practice for various high schools in the area. Other teams will be highlighted in the next week.)

Release date: 2/21/2013
Parkinson's Action Network (PAN) issued a press release today on behalf of the U.S. Parkinson's organizations, including the National Parkinson Foundation (NPF). This is an important study because it sheds light on the true economic burden of Parkinson's disease. Read the key findings below.
Parkinson's Action Network (PAN) issued a press release today on behalf of the U.S. Parkinson's organizations, including the National Parkinson Foundation (NPF). This is an important study because it sheds light on the true economic burden of Parkinson's disease. Read the key findings below.
Statement from NPF about the study:
"Things we could improve today are major cost drivers for Parkinson's. We pay over a billion dollars for services that could be avoided with better care. For example, nursing home care totals over $5 billion, and neurologist care can reduce this by 20% or more. We could fund our entire research agenda and more from the savings we could gain by just getting patients great care," said Peter Schmidt, Ph.D., Vice President, Programs. "We've shown in NPF's Parkinson's Outcomes Project, that many complications can be avoided just through better, more expert care."
Read the Parkinson's Action Network's press release:
- $8.1 billion in medical expenses and $6.3 billion in indirect costs attributed to Parkinson's disease -
- Two new studies published in Movement Disorders detail economic burden and financial implications of slowing disease progression -
This statement is prepared on behalf of the American Parkinson Disease Association, the Davis Phinney Foundation for Parkinson's, The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research, the National Parkinson Foundation, the Parkinson Alliance, the Parkinson's Action Network, and the Parkinson's Disease Foundation. Together, these organizations represent the Parkinson's disease community in the United States.
Parkinson's disease is a chronic, progressive neurological disease for which there is no treatment or therapy to slow or stop the progression of the disease. Medications and devices address only the symptoms. Parkinson's is the second most common neurological condition after Alzheimer's disease.
The two studies addressed in this statement are: "The Current and Projected Economic Burden of Parkinson's Disease in the United States" and "An Economic Model of Parkinson's Disease: Implications for Slowing Progression in the United States," both of which were recently published in the journal Movement Disorders and show huge economic burden on families living with Parkinson's disease.
Key Findings:
The following statement may be attributed to Amy Comstock Rick, CEO, Parkinson's Action Network:
"Both studies highlight the enormous economic implications of this devastating disease, and make it abundantly clear that increased research funding is a wise investment on the front end to help significantly lower or eliminate costs on the back end. National Institutes of Health (NIH) Parkinson's disease research funding for FY 2011 was just $151 million – that's only 1.05% of $14.4 billion, and is clearly an investment that needs to grow.
"Because nearly half (48%) of medical expenses evaluated in 'The Current and Projected Economic Burden of Parkinson's Disease in the United States' are Medicare- and Medicaid-related, smart investment in medical research could significantly lower reliance on Medicare and Medicaid as a safety net for people with Parkinson's. Even slowing the progression of Parkinson's is shown in one of the studies to have potentially a significant impact on families living with this devastating disease.
"By investing in biomedical research both at the federal level and in the private sector, and creating results-driven public-private partnerships, the scientific community can develop more innovative therapies toward better treatments and, one day, a cure for Parkinson's. In addition to research funding and strategic incentives to promote collaboration and knowledge sharing among academic and industry research groups, we need strong federal, state, and local policies and programs in place that improve the quality of life for people living with Parkinson's and the impact the disease has on their families.
"The authors of 'The Current and Projected Economic Burden of Parkinson's Disease in the United States' acknowledge their findings are conservative estimates due to limits in available data, and we agree that, in reality, the prevalence and economic burden numbers are even higher and will grow exponentially over the next few decades. The silver tsunami of aging baby boomers will bring not just a dramatic increase in Parkinson's diagnoses, but also significantly higher cost burdens to families that are already stretched too thin.
"Funding for Parkinson's disease and all biomedical research must be considered a priority in ongoing federal budget discussions, and cannot be cut in any way, shape, or form."

FAQ being put together by MDP... get your questions in.
In an earlier post, I mentioned that a list of questions was going to be assembled and submitted to the MDP in preparation for the May 1st lifting of the 'communication embargo' (my term, not LEGO's)... well, a FAQ list has surfaced on the MDP forum and I am once again offering to post any questions you may have to that list...
I cannot promise that all questions will be answered... there may be some questions that do not have an answer just yet. For those of you who have posted questions via the comment tool, I have submitted those questions already. But feel free to post some new ones.
I'll let you know when and where the FAQ will be available as soon as that has been determined.
Please submit your questions via comments to this post. No emailed questions, please.

This has probably been asked/said by others too, but it would be great if somebody could hack up an alternative to LabView by July 1st. I understand the reasoning behind using that software, and it's great for kids or quite generally people who can't program to be able to program a robot this way - but just not for me. I'd love to be able to program the NXT in C or assembly or Forth or whatever "real" language from day one. Is anybody working on this?
- Apr 14, 2006, 4:32:00 AM
My senior thesis was done in LabView, so I'm very interested in what NXT has to offer. In LabView, I was able to call dynamic link libraries written in C++ from the graphical code. So if the NXT development software is truly LabView at heart, then it's certainly capable. LEGO knows the success of the open source Mindstorms movement, so I hope they kept that in mind and did not strip that functionality.
- Apr 14, 2006, 11:31:00 PM
I would really like to the ability to code with Ruby and also have the ability for the bot to be able to query resources on the internet during runtime through 802.11
Not really a question but a wish list.

Any information on creating homebrew sensors for NXT would be great.

Hello Jim
you know I have a blog in spanish and I'm ready to translate and publish information and FAQs about NXT, so if you want you can contact with me
- Apr 18, 2006, 2:32:00 AM
Is it possible to link multiple NXT Intelligent Bricks to communicate, increase power, etc?
- Apr 19, 2006, 11:39:00 AM
Is the Bluetooth capability only for downloading programs to the NXT brick? Or can you also truly use it for remote control? As cool as autonomous robots are, the remote in the VEX kits is very appealing.
- Apr 19, 2006, 11:42:00 AM
1. What ARM7 processor (manufacturer, product id) is within the NXT?
2. Does the NXT have a "Bluetooth on a chip" chip (like the National Semiconductor LMX9820A)? If so, which one?
- Apr 20, 2006, 4:33:00 AM
3. Can you program the NXT using C/C++ without going through some sort of LabView DLL out of the box? Will there be a C/C++ development path or API?

Dear Viewers and Listeners,
As a longtime journalist, I'm well aware of the power that television has to "tell the story," and this month ETV has some compelling stories to tell.
In preparation for the presidential election, we offer the national presidential and vice presidential debates, where the candidates tell their stories in their own words. In addition to these informative broadcasts, Frontline airs The Choice 2012, which includes in-depth biographies on the presidential candidates as well as behind-the-scenes insights on the two men competing to lead our country.
Another important story is told in Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide. Six actresses, including Eva Mendes, Meg Ryan, and Olivia Wilde, travel around the globe to meet inspiring individuals who are working to improve gender-based inequality.
And finally, the StoryCorps crew is in Charleston this month, gathering your stories for preservation at the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress, and perhaps even for broadcast during ETV Radio's Morning Edition series.
ETV is proud to offer these stories and more, with our promise to continue to provide enlightening and inspiring programming for all South Carolinians.
Linda O'Bryon
President and CEO

Biochemistry and Molecular Biology combines biology, the study of living things, and chemistry, which examines the composition, structure, properties and reactions of all forms of matter. This degree takes Wilson's biology and chemistry programs, which already are popular among students, to a new level. Previously students could take courses in both disciplines, but could not get that in-depth synthesis of topics from both fields.
This major teaches students to draw from information taught in biology courses and apply detailed chemical analysis to understand how and why biological molecules interact. A number of post-graduate options are open to students with the degree, including master's degree and doctoral programs in biochemistry and biology, bachelor's degree programs in nursing, and professional schools in pharmacy, medicine, dentistry, and veternary medicine (see specific program for admission requirements). Graduates with a degree in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology also have a wide variety of career options, including research opportunities and other technical positions in the pharmaceutical industry, biotech companies, forensic testing laboratories and academic, government or military laboratories.
Every student who majors in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology will begin her own research project during the spring semester of her junior year. Wilson's program is unique in that each student can conduct research on the topic of her choice and thus is not limited by the research interests of the faculty. This research project is part of a three semester course sequence that is completed during the spring semester of her senior year. The first semester focuses on writing the research proposal. The second semester she will conduct the research and give oral presentations on the project. At the end of the second semester, each student presents the research at the Physical and Life Sciences Research Symposium. The third semester is when the final research paper is written.
Many students also take the opportunity to present their research findings at the Pennsylvania Academy of Science annual meeting, held every spring.

For more than 50 years, the name Corvette has been synonymous with a uniquely exhilarating world-class, high-performance sports car driving experience. Whether it's the coupe, convertible, or the 505hp Z06, reintroduced during the '06 model year, the Chevrolet Corvette stirs the performance enthusiast's soul-whether it's during a daily commute or a weekend at the track.
After a host of major performance enhancements for 2006, the '07 Corvette brings a number of equipment enhancements and refinements.
Interior enhancements-Available on the coupe and convertible are two-tone, perforated leather seating surfaces with crossed-flags embroidery and contrasting stitching in red, cashmere, or titanium. In addition, steering-wheel-mounted audio controls are included with the Bose premium audio systems.
OnStar availability-The safety and security of OnStar is now available on the Z06 when the 2LZ package is ordered.
Larger glove compartment space-Because air bag technology advancements allowed engineers to remove the old passenger-side airbag on/off switch box, Corvette designers were able to provide a roomier glove compartment.
Cross-drilled brakes included with Magnetic Selective Ride Control option-Now Corvette customers can combine heavy-duty brakes, previously only available with the Z51 performance package, with the comfort of Magnetic Selective Ride Control technology.
Power top-Corvette's power top is now included with the convertible 3LT option package.
New exterior color-Atomic Orange Tintcoat Metallic replaces Daytona Sunset Orange Metallic. The specific tintcoat adds depth to create an exciting new color.
'07 Coupe And Convertible Details
The Corvette's new features for 2007 refine a groundbreaking sports car that was all-new in 2005 and substantially enhanced again in 2006. Coupe and convertible models continue to be equipped with the LS2 6.0L V-8 engine that produces 400 hp (298 kW) and 400 lb-ft of torque (542 Nm). It is matched to a rear transaxle that helps improve vehicle weight balance-a six-speed manual is standard, and a six-speed paddle shift transmission with automatic modes is available.
The '07 Corvette convertible features a power-operated soft top with the 3LT package; an easy-to-operate manual top is standard. Both configurations use a five-layer fabric that conceals the underlying structure for a good top-up appearance, plus it helps preserve the car's excellent aerodynamics and reduces road noise.
Corvette's interior is inspired by the car's dual-cockpit heritage. High-quality materials, craftsmanship, and functionality help deliver premium quality meant to enhance performance driving. The instrument panel and doors are covered with cast-skin, foam-in-place trim that looks like a leather-wrapped, padded panel. Designers were able to provide a larger glove box by removing the frontal passenger airbag on/off switch that was required before the GM Passenger Sensing System was introduced in the '06 model year. Available for 2007 are two-tone, modified, perforated leather seating surfaces with crossed-flags embroidery and contrasting stitching, in red, cashmere, or titanium.
