Another theory proposes that the name for Pesé, like other cities in Azuero, has its origin in the Ngöbe language, which does not have the "p"sound. According to Eladio Tugrí, who is versed in the Ngöbe and Buglé languages, "besé" is the word for a wooden utensil used to stir food in pots or pans in the Ngöbe kitchen.
One of the many agricultural crops grown here is sugarcane. The sugarcane juice is fermented to produce the national alcoholic beverage of "Seco" and rum, known as "Ron Abuelo", in factories such as Hacienda San Isidro, where visitors can make a reservation for a tour of their facilities.
Pesé is found in Herrera Province. It covers an area of 288 square kilometers and is situated at an average altitude of 90 meters above sea level.
How to arrive
- Bus: Board a bus from the Albrook Grand Terminal bound for Pesé on the Las Minas route at ticket booth B-11. Buses leave approximately every hour from 7 a.m. to 3:45 p.m.
- Car: Take the Pan-American Highway towards the interior to Divisa, and at the crossroads at Divisa turn onto the street leading to Chitré. Before arriving, turn off at the entrance to Pesé, following the signs.
What to bring
- Comfortable clothing
- Sunscreen
- Water bottle
- Sugar Cane Festival
- Holy Week enactments

On this day in music history: October 21, 1957 - "Jailhouse Rock" by Elvis Presley hits #1 on the Billboard Best Sellers chart for seven weeks, also topping the Country singles chart for one week on December 2, 1957 and peaking at #2 on the R&B singles chart on the same date. Written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, it is the eighth chart topper for Presley in under a year and a half. Recorded as the title song from his third film, the track recorded at Radio Recorders in Hollywood on April 30, 1957. The song name checks a number of real people including musician Shifty Henry and the 1920's mobsters The Purple Gang. "Jailhouse Rock" is backed with the song "Treat Me Nice," which is also included in the film. It will peak at #18 on pop singles chart on October 28, 1957. The film will also open on the same date and top the box office charts simultaneously. Presley will also make history as being the only artist to ever dominate the top of the singles chart for 25 weeks during one calendar year. He will do it in both 1956 and 1957.
On this day in music history: October 21, 1967 - "To Sir With Love" by Lulu hits #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for five weeks. Written by Don Black and Mark London, it is the biggest hit for the Scottish-born singer and actress (born Marie McDonald McLaughlin Lawrie in Lennoxtown, Stirlingshire, Scotland). It is the theme song to the Sidney Poiter film about a teacher dealing with social and racial issues in a tough Secondary school in East London. Also co-starring in the film, Lulu will introduce her friend Mark London to the film's producers after they cannot find a suitable song for the main theme. London will write the music in just five minutes, with lyricist Don Black penning the lyrics the next day. When the single is released in the US, Epic Records will place "To Sir With Love" on B-side of "The Boat That I Row" (written by Neil Diamond). American radio DJ's will prefer the flipside and "Sir" will take off quickly. Entering the Hot 100 at #74 on September 9, 1967 it will race up the chart, hitting #1 six weeks later. Certified Gold in the US by the RIAA, "To Sir With Love" will be ranked the top single of 1967 as determined by Billboard Magazine.

CU: Home • A to Z • Campus Map
CU-Boulder's Flagship 2030 strategic plan has inspired the development of five research initiatives that draw upon the knowledge and skills of people in multiple fields to address critical needs of society:
A 21st century grand challenge in science and engineering is to understand and be able to model and predict the state of the Earth as a single complex system. To meet this critical challenge, we must develop new ways to conduct research and offer educational programs that cross the traditional boundaries between science and engineering and between academia and industry.
CU-Boulder's AeroSpace Ventures initiative brings together cutting-edge aerospace engineering and science research across campus with leading industry partners to:
Through CU-Boulder AeroSpace Ventures, the university combines aerospace vehicle innovations and science discoveries for local and global measurements to develop:
As the home to internationally renowned research institutes including LASP and CIRES, and top-ranked departments such as Aerospace Engineering Sciences, Astrophysics and Planetary Sciences, and Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, CU-Boulder is uniquely positioned to lead the integrated study of space science and engineering systems.
The BioFrontiers Institute was founded in 2003 to foster research, teaching and technology development at the interfaces of the life sciences, physical sciences, math, computational sciences and engineering. Advances in biology are creating an explosion of new information that is redefining the understanding of life at the molecular level. BioFrontiers scientists work to harness that knowledge for diagnosing, treating, and preventing disease, among other purposes.
The molecular biotech initiative is led by CU-Boulder's Nobel laureate Tom Cech, who returned to the university in April 2009 after 10 years as president of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.
The Interdisciplinary Computational Sciences and Engineering Initiative addresses a rapidly growing field of study with long-standing historic ties between applied mathematics, computer science, engineering, and the natural and social sciences. Focused development of the initiative began in 2007 with four faculty meetings followed by a Boulder campus town hall meeting attended by more than 100 people in February 2008. An ICSE Steering Committee developed a set of recommendations for launching the new initiative in their report of October 2008.
One early benchmark manifestation of this initiative is the acquisition of a ~200 TF research 'supercomputer' in 2010. This research computing resource, developed in close collaboration with NCAR, will facilitate research endeavors across campus and will allow CU-Boulder to provide formal training in and develop graduate level programs in high performance computer science to support this industry.
As noted in the Steering Committee report, the underpinnings of this emerging field involve numerical mathematics, algorithm development, and software and program implementation - but the implications for a broad range of scientific inquiry are significant. Current research problems often require computer modeling, complex programming and advanced visualization methodologies that demand high-performance computing power. At CU-Boulder, the potential already exists for applications of ICSE in such areas as: climate and weather prediction; geosciences and Earth system science; aerospace, manufacturing and engineering design; astrophysics and planetary sciences; bioinformatics and biology; digital arts; material sciences; renewable energy; computational chemistry and molecular dynamics; fusion energy science; and computational physics, to name a few. Computation is utilized in all these fields, fueled by rapid advances in computing power, algorithm speed and reliability, and the emergence of complex visualization software tools, according to the ICSE report.
The Energy Initiative (EI) was launched in 2005 to help find solutions for the world's urgent energy needs. With more than 180 faculty and researchers engaged in some type of energy research, the initiative builds on existing strengths in climate and environmental science, behavioral studies, policy analysis, and entrepreneurship to seek answers to a growing global crisis.
The Energy Initiative acts as a catalyst to bring researchers from multiple fields together to address key problems and opportunities. Research efforts range from energy-efficient construction to energy storage, from solar and wind energy to hydrogen production. By 2008, the initiative had 43 funded research projects in renewable and sustainable energy. In 2009, the Renewable and Sustainable Energy Institute (RASEI) was formed. RASEI is a joint institute between the University of Colorado at Boulder and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).
CU-Boulder's Geosciences Initiative (GI), still in the early stages of development, addresses one of society's greatest challenges: environmental sustainability. The initiative reflects a general recognition that Earth is not limitless - that there are observable and accelerating changes in climate, the health of ecosystems, and the purity of air, water, and land. The effort builds upon a tradition of excellence in earth and atmospheric research in order to meet the challenges of sustainability and environmental change. Nearly 800 faculty and more than 1,000 graduate students are involved in related projects reaching beyond traditional academic boundaries.
By taking an interdisciplinary approach, the Geosciences Initiative intends to bring the best minds to bear on complex problems. The initiative combines natural sciences research, which describes how Earth systems function, with social sciences, humanities, law, journalism, and business research and education - which describe how human societies function. It also seeks to form partnerships that draw upon federal and private-sector expertise to help solve the great environmental challenges.
These initiatives are bringing together faculty and students, from CU-Boulder and other campuses, to join in intellectual inquiry and discovery as they confront issues affecting humankind. Three of the five strategic initiatives (aerospace, biotechnology, and energy) mirror key priorities set by the Colorado governor for economic development in Colorado. Other key initiatives across campus address societal needs at the state, national, and global levels.
Other Key Initiatives
Beyond the five strategic initiatives described above, CU-Boulder's schools and colleges also have launched a number of key initiatives that are both discipline-specific and interdisciplinary. These strategies address societal needs at the state, national and global levels in areas such as materials, health care, security, communications, energy, natural resources, and education. Examples include:
Every gift matters, no matter the size.

Sandi Christy spent last week's DAWGS in Prison graduation detailing the perfect dog.
That perfect dog, Christy, concluded, is strictly in the eye of the owner.
Christy, co-director of the Developing Adoptable Dogs with Good Sociability (DAWGS) in Prison program at the Gulf Forestry Camp considered the perfect dog while interviewing New Jersey newlyweds interested in adopting a dog.
In addition to her work with DAWGS, Christy volunteers to place dogs at the St. Joseph Bay Humane Society through several rescue groups. One of those missions led her to the couple from New Jersey.
While describing the prospective dog for the couple, the husband interrupted.
"He said, 'We don't expect a perfect dog, we just want a nice dog who will be part of our family,'" Christy said. "I thought that was wonderful and then, what is the perfect dog?"
Ten people, Christy said, would likely provide 10 different answers.
Some will insist the perfect dog is AKC registered, but despite pedigrees those dogs also have numerous health issues.
A veterinarian might attest that the healthiest dogs are mixed-breeds, Christy said. She noted however, that her own golden retriever died from one of the worst forms of canine cancer due to an abnormality in breeding lines for golden retrievers.
Others, Christy said, say the perfect dog is the good hunter, the agile dog, the obedient dog.
"But these same dogs may not be good family dogs," Christy said.
Over the past 28 dog graduations spanning four-plus years, however, the DAWGS in Prison program has sent 300 adoptable dogs to new homes, saving a shelter dog and providing what 300 owners might attest as the "perfect dog."
The Sherers from Connecticut, a two-career couple, wanted a canine companion and adopted Ryan.
Ryan was trained to be a certified therapy dog and accompanies the couple to hospitals and nursing homes.
After the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT, Ryan was selected as one of the therapy dogs helping children recover from that horrific tragedy.
"For the Sherers, their black lab mix Ryan is the perfect dog," Christy said.
Bob Pellito of Tampa, Christy said, adopted a lab/hound named Dante, "discarded because he was not perfect", one of an average of 7 million dogs abandoned on any given day in the country.
After DAWGS, Dante trained as a diabetic alert dog and became Pellito's constant companion, saving his life one night when Pellito nodded off into a diabetic coma.
"His life was saved that night due to his perfect dog," Christy said.
And Sheila Briggs from Massachusetts was seeking a lab mix that would be good with her small children and cats. A dog that would like the water and playing in the park, Christy said.
She picked Everett, "Who has turned out to be the perfect dog for them – protecting and loving the kids and swimming with them at the lake," Christy said.
"So, perfection seems to be in the eye of the beholder, or adopter," Christy continued. "We, at DAWGS, do not look for perfect dogs. We look for dogs with potential – the potential to be great companions and family dogs."
Perfection is not a prerequisite for the inmate trainers, more than 300 strong since the inception of the program, who apply to be part of the program and must meet to 24/7 responsibilities in caring for the dogs.
The inmates learn skills that, in a host of instances, they have gone on to apply those skills to become a productive member of society, in several cases working directly with animals.
"We also value their potential," Christy said of the inmates who have made DAWGS a success story. "We value their potential. The potential in the men here to learn and grow. They learn a lot – patience, discipline, teamwork and how to train and care for a dog.
"That is our mission at DAWGS in Prison, to fulfill the potential of our inmate trainers and their dogs – to give them the skills to be the best they can be. In so doing, maybe they will be the perfect companion, worker or family member in the future."
The graduates of the 28th DAWGS in Prison class were destined to two states, half going to spots around Florida while half were transported to new families in Massachusetts.
Several were still awaiting adoption to "forever homes."
The program has sent dogs to 15 different states.
With the graduation of one class, the next arrived last week at the Forestry Camp to begin the eight-week program to become some person's "perfect dog."
The St. Joseph Bay Humane Society is always in need of new volunteers. Call 227-1103 for more information or to become a volunteer.

Loans to get when your pregant and need money fast
Pregnancy is often a package of joy to the expecting mother, but concerns over financial matters can be extremely perturbing and troublesome. The prenatal and postnatal period can be highly expensive, for single or income earning mothers. Expenses like food or baby supplies, health care bills, housing, college, nutrition, paying debts among others require financial help. The U.S. government thus, provides social programs, loans, grants for expecting mothers through several federal, local assuring agencies with the best aid possible over these crucial periods.
Housing Grants
For birthing or expecting mothers in addition to their children, the U.S. government offers housing assistance on an affordable and secured living. Moreover, the us government also helps settle housing debts, overdue mortgage or rents. The Florida Department of Children and Families extend help to pregnant mothers to pay for their due mortgage, to secure funds to book and afford a full time income. You may also confirm the Home Energy Assistance Programs, HUD and Grants.gov site for your multiple grants offered. Moreover, several nonprofit organizations, charities, local assuring agencies and some women care associations provide many housing options to choose depending on your requirement.
Educational Grants
Several married women, single parents and pregnant mothers are searching forward to enrolled to attain higher degrees for just a financially secured living. However, it might be an expensive decision and value prohibitive with the mothers handling multiple responsibilities. Birthing mothers is now able to apply for federal student aid affiliated from the U.S. Department of Education in the grant Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The U.S. government has initiated a few more grant programs to enable them to attain their educational qualifications with the financial help required to fulfill the expenses of learning.
· Scholarships For Moms
· Patsy Takemoto Mink Program
· Emerge Scholarship Program
· Academic Competitiveness Grant
· Julianne Malveaux Scholarship
· R.O.S.E. Scholarship
· Women's Independence Scholarship Program
· The Jeannette Rankin Foundation Scholarships
· American Association of University Women
· SWE Scholarship Program
Health, Nutrition and Food Grant
Pregnant mothers often need medical, nutritional and medical for both, a child and herself. The country gives a plethora of federal while stating government programs that fulfill the expenses in the prenatal and postnatal care. The 'Maternal and Child Health Services Block Grant towards the States' provided because of the Department of Health and Human Services endows women that are pregnant with heath care treatment benefits. Being an mother you are now able to look for pregnancy, health, nutrition, insurance along with such programs easily in your state and avail the advantages. Another important grant – 'Commodity Supplemental Food Program' offers food to below or low income expectant women through the state agencies. Just get hold of your State Department of Health. Some essential agencies offering health resources are:
· Child Welfare Agency
· Food Stamp Program
· Child Nutrition Programs
· Women Infants and Children Program
· Child Health Insurance Program
· Department of Education
· Food Banks
· Breast and Cervical Cancer Detection programs
· Medicaid
Personal Grants
Pregnancy period can be challenging for mothers with low income or financial disaster. You may call for a potential source for awards that will help to meet with all the expenses along with the extra costs of ones own needs like medical, baby care, health, equipment purchasing, shelter, baby supplies etc.
Pregnancy Assistance Fund (PAF) offered from your Office on Adolescent Health (OAH) provides support for expectant and parenting teens and ladies. The money is provided to programs offering support for completion of secondary and better education, improve planning while pregnant, impart parenting training and improve health of mothers and babies. Maximum level of $1,500,000 are given for such programs.
Pregnant Women Support Act can be another such method of obtaining funding for agencies that offer programs to coach women, help clinics in procuring ultrasound equipment and have alternatives to abortion.read more

Pictures of a SWARM bot
Found some images posted on flickr of a SWARM bot... you can view them here.
If anyone has any additional info on them, please comment... thanks.

What's a SWARM bot? Is SWARM an acronym? Or does it refer to a swarm of robots working together?

With all those tires, and it seems none on casters, steering is going to be... difficult. I would think. For accurate odometry you'd want to make sure that the driven tires don't slip (so in a fixed geomoetry, others should).

Hey guys, this is my project - it will be open source on CodePlex. I'm in the design / planning phase with a few developers using Microsoft Robotics Studio and a lot of the new stuff coming from Redmond like Windows Communication Foundation, SQL Server 2005. It's a phase 1 thing - I want to build a framework for any kind of bot to act as an I/O device in a distributed network of bots. Still very generic at this point.
Regarding the pix - this is the base - an to Brian's comment, I'm working on a caster, but for now this thing can move fast on just about any terrain right now - though the turning radius is wide (about 2' on a flat surface shorter on surfaces with friction, though not difficult).
As time allows (We still need our day jobs ;) we'll keep posting stuff - at least I will.
Swarm is not an acronym, but a design goal for a later phase.

Topsy-Turvy is a musical drama film about the creation of Gilbert and Sullivan's The Mikado in 1884 and 1885. It was written and directed by Mike Leigh and stars Allan Corduner as Sir Arthur Sullivan and Jim Broadbent as W. S. Gilbert, along with Timothy Spall and Lesley Manville. The film focuses on the creative conflict between playwright and composer, and the momentous decision that the two men made to continue their partnership, which led to the creation of several more famous Savoy Operas between them.
The film was not released widely, but it received very favourable reviews, including a number of film festival awards and two design Academy Awards. While considered an artistic success, illustrating Victorian era British life in the theatre in depth, the film did not recover its production costs. Leigh cast actors who did their own singing in the film, and the singing performances were faulted by some critics, while others lauded Leigh's strategy.
Gilbert's idea for their next opera features a transformative magic lozenge, which Sullivan feels is repetitive, since it is similar to the story of The Sorcerer, and mechanical, due to its reliance on a supernatural device. Sullivan, under pressure to write more serious music, says he longs for something that is "probable" and involves "human interest", and not dependent on magic. Gilbert sees nothing wrong with his libretto and refuses to write a new one, which results in a stand-off. The impasse is resolved after Gilbert and his wife visit a popular exhibition of Japanese arts and crafts. When the katana sword that he purchased there falls noisily off the wall of his study, he is inspired to write a libretto set in exotic Japan. Sullivan likes the idea and agrees to compose the music for it.
Gilbert, Sullivan and Carte work to make The Mikado a success, and many glimpses of rehearsals and stressful backstage preparations for the show follow: Cast members lunch together before negotiating their salaries. Gilbert brings in Japanese girls from the exhibition to teach the ladies' chorus how to walk and use fans in the Japanese manner. The principal cast react to the fittings of their costumes designed by the famous costumier C. Wilhelm. The entire cast object to the proposed cut of the title character's Act Two solo, "A more humane Mikado". The actors face first-night jitters in their dressing rooms. Finally The Mikado is ready to open. As usual, Gilbert is too nervous to watch the opening performance and paces the streets of London. Returning to the theatre, however, he finds that the new opera is a resounding success.
The film also accurately depicts the Savoy Theatre as having electric lighting. It was the first public building in Britain – and at the time one of the few buildings there of any kind – to be lit entirely by electricity. The film also shows an early use of the telephone. However, the depiction of the Gilberts' marriage as cold and loveless is at odds with the available historical evidence. W. S. Gilbert wrote many affectionate letters to his wife "Kitty", and the couple was very socially active both in London and at their home at Grim's Dyke, often holding dinner parties and being invited to others' homes for dinner.
The film also won Best Make Up/Hair at the BAFTA Awards, and was nominated for Best British Film, Best Actor in a Leading Role (Jim Broadbent), Best Supporting Actor (Timothy Spall) and Best Original Screenplay. Broadbent also won the Volpi Cup for Best Actor at the Venice Film Festival, and the film was nominated for the Golden Lion at the same festival.
Topsy Turvy also won the Best British Film Award at the Evening Standard British Film Awards, and received 1999 awards for Best Picture (shared with Spike Jonze's Being John Malkovich) and Best Director from the National Society of Film Critics, and for Best Picture and Best Director from the New York Film Critics Circle.

When did you join IBM, and what led you to join the company?
I joined IBM January 1997. My father worked as an engineer for GE and traveled around the world building Nuclear Power Plants. When I "grew up" I wanted to be just like my Dad and travel around the world and "do important stuff" only I wanted to work for IBM (How I knew this in first grade I don't know ;). Later after NASA ,a short stint at Fruit of Loom (designing, building and deploying their first intranet), and being a founder of an Internet start-up I decided my intellectual home was to work in "Information" and IBM was of course at the top of list.
What was the workplace like when you joined, and how did it change over time?
Back in 1997, I am not sure IBM the entire company had truly embraced the significantly disruptive effects of the Internet, the huge opportunities that would become available, and, specifically, how FAST products and services would need to be available to go to market. From a strategic perspective, IBM totally "got it." I was working at the Hawthorne lab at that time and lots of work on the WOM was going on (the ore-cursor to WebSphere). Some part of the business understood the speed of change, but some still had yet to learn.
But very quickly under the leadership of Lou Gerstner, all IBM quickly "got it" and came up to speed in the global marketplace. IBM is huge, and it was really something to see a Fortune 500 company move so quickly. One could say nimble. And there again is another strength of IBM, the company can come together and move as "one."
What did you like most about your career with IBM?
What I liked most about my career at IBM was demonstrating the embodiment of what it was to be an IBMer. There was something enjoyable to me to know I was on "that" team and it challenged me every day to be the best that I could be as researcher and as a consultant. You don't hire IBM to not get top-line results. You hire IBM to get "it" done well and know that you have a technical team that will support you 24/7. The customer meant something. The customer, that relationship was everything.
What were some of your more interesting roles and what did they entail?
IBM offered me many wonderful roles and opportunities. However, I think two of best engagements.
I was an Asia/Pacific Senior. Enterprise Architect Consultant (Global Services) and worked in Canberra, Australia for one of the Government Ministries. I led a team that in expanding the account by 17% within six months by implementing $1M USD web services integration architecture to support outsourcing efforts, utilizing COGNOS BI and performance management solutions. We sold and delivered this solution using an "Agile like" methodology. This was before the published draft of the Agile Manifesto in 2000. This Agile like methodology was something I had created and fined tuned while at NASA and leading the Internet effort there.
The second exciting project was when I worked with the NA Transportation Global Services team. I was on the team that did the "Watershed Study" which provided research and forecast how the Internet was going to completely distribute the Travel Industry sector. The team interviewed research scientists at MIT and also traveled to London, Stockholm, Singapore, and Paris to interview corporate leaders in Travel Industry around the globe. Those were some very exciting times when the Internet was "very young".
And I have to add a third. This memory is very close to my heart. I was at the Hawthrone Lab in New York and was sharing with a colleague that I had just finished The Fractal Geometry of Nature by Benoit Mandelbrot and that I had found it quite fascinating. My colleague calmly replied, "Oh yes Dr. Mandelbrot he is upstairs on the second floor." I was so excited I believe I forgot excuse myself from the conversation before I flew upstairs, raced down the hallway looking at the name tags on the doors and when I found this cerebral GOD I tapped lightly on the door and asked if I could come in. I believe all I could do was just gush like some silly teenage girl meeting Justin Bieber. One of the richest rewards with working for IBM was being able to meet incredible minds that were contributing to Research and Development.
What has been your experience working as a woman in the technology industry?
It has had its ups and downs. I can't say any one region was more challenging than any other. Issues that many women face in the workplace are perhaps more to do with a particular someone's viewpoint and not geography. I have worked for many large IT companies and I will say that although IBM is fantastically large there was always a sense that you as a person and an employee were cared for. And I put person first there deliberately. There was always this wonderful pride of being an IBMer. We all were/are professionals.
What characteristics, skills, or attitudes set you apart and helped you be successful?
I have a very good ability to see the strategic business value of a technology. I am also extremely adept at listening to the customer and understanding (really hearing) the pain the customer is having. One thing that I believe set me apart from others early in my career at IBM is that I quite readily reached out to others, companies, scientists, business owners and asked lots of questions. I wasn't afraid to not know the answer and ask the questions. The value of this came into play with program management. I get things done. Period.
What were some of the most important lessons you learned – from both successes and failures? Who/what were the most influential to your careers?
Oh, wow I have far more failures in my career than successes =).
- Define the requirements not the solution. It's important to listen to the customer and understand what the customer requires/needs and not jump into an immediate solution. For example a customer might require/need transportation from point A to B. The customer might think they need a car, when in fact Light Rail might fulfill the need especially if maintaining a small carbon footprint is also a requirement/need.
- The relationship with customers is built on trust. Trust is EVERYTHING.
- Professionally, when you do what you truly enjoy, energy is infinite and the resulting value is magnified. It's the best feeling in the world.
Major influencers on my career range from Einstein, Mandelbrot, Mrs. Goggins my third grade school teacher, Carnegie, Eleanor of Aquitaine, Sigourney Weaver as Ripley in Alien(s), the original Star Trek series, and TQM Training.
What advice would you give to Greater IBMers to help them be successful in their career? And is there anything specific to women?
My advice to up and coming IBMers is to learn all you can both technically and business-wise with the wealth of resources that IBM offers. Remember it's an honor and a privilege to be part of IBM and you're in good company. (All double entendres intended).
For women, the fact that Ginni Rometty is now CEO and Chairman I believe says it all. Our time is now. Go make it happen.
Why did you move on from IBM and do you stay connected – with the business or your colleagues?
I moved on from IBM because I was in a hurry to reach for the brass ring and I felt I needed to advance faster. In hindsight, I left too soon and/or I never should have left. I sometimes think I wish I knew then what I know nowJ. I do stay in contact via some Linked In sites but not so much at a personal level.
Tell us about your work today and what you've taken from your experience at IBM to this role.
My work day is much like any consultant's work day: there is a mission, there are planes to board, hopefully there is a road-map, there are politics to manage, and internet services to implement and integrate to meet customer requirements. I do whatever it takes to get the job done.
What I took away from IBM was "knowing" with complete confidence what it was to be and equally important how to be an exemplary consultant with professional integrity.
What do you see are the major upcoming trends in your field and how do you stay attuned?
Big Data and all that fits under its umbrella. I host a Twitter site called @5280BigData. The purpose of @5280BigData is to promote Big Data concepts, tools, and services developed in the Denver/Boulder metro region among global Big Data Research and Development and business communities.

The one that got away. Most car guys have at least one story about a car long departed that evokes a quiet moment of reflection and personal suffering. Usually the stories involve a Bow Tie that might've had something special about it, or enough potential to fill a supertanker. Seldom does it involve one of the rarest cars Chevrolet ever made, the '67 Z/28. Out of 220,906 Camaros built in the 1967 model year, only 602 would have the special Z/28 option. That's less than half a percent of Camaro production!
Back in 1983, Ron Casadei was working for Anheuser-Busch in Newark, New Jersey, as a brewer alongside his dad. Life was good and Ron decided he wanted a fun car. Looking through the local Want Ad Press, he saw this: "1967 Z/28 ex-SCCA A-sedan for sale call after 4 p.m." Ron went to investigate, finding a '67 Camaro in rusty primer with a black vinyl top so dry-rotted it was peeling away like skin from a birch tree, and rust all over the top of the car, but the floors were in great shape, and the options Ron could see told him this was a car worth having.
The 12-bolt rear with a "funny looking bar on the passenger side," center console with gauges, tach, fold down rear seat, power disc brakes, and a four-point rollbar hinted at the car's racing past. After some haggling, the owner settled for a price of $1,300 for the car, and Ron took his new toy home.
With the help of his good friend Randy Kurachik, the '67 Z was disassembled for restoration. In Randy's home garage, the motor was pulled, and Ron discovered it had a forged steel crank, with forged pistons, big valve heads, and a factory aluminum intake and distributor. Even the Rally wheels had DF codes and matched the car. Checking the bore and stroke, Ron found he had an authentic 302 engine and that the car might really be a Z/28. Being 1983, the trim tags hadn't been decoded yet by restoration experts, so Ron looked at everything the car had in it, factory aluminum intake, factory tach with a 6,000 rpm redline, and a small-block heater cover, and determined it probably was a real Z.
In Randy's garage they set out to restore the car back to streetworthy condition. All new GM sheetmetal was bought at the local Chevy emporium at dealer cost (GM was just starting to discontinue some parts for the car, like valve covers, headlamp trim bezels, taillight bezels, and other trim parts), and with no real Camaro aftermarket except for Rick's first-generation Camaro, a lot of parts had to be cleaned up and reused. The bolt-in rollbar the car came with was also removed. Ron admits that the first restoration wasn't the best job in the world, but at the time it was just fine for him. With new sheetmetal in place, the '67 was lacquered in Corvette Arctic White, and black Z/28 stripes applied to the top. In 1984 the car was finished and back together.
Ron enjoyed three years of weekend cruising in the Z/28, going to races to watch friends, and enjoying it as much as possible. In 1988, the bug bit him to buy a new Corvette, but to do so meant selling the '67. After about five months, Ron sold the car to another New Jersey resident, but the joy of the new Corvette didn't last long before regret started growing about selling the Z/28. After a 12-year hiatus from the car hobby, Ron got the bug again, purchasing an Olympic Gold '69 RS Z/28, and later a '68 Z/28. But the '67 still held a spot in his heart, the car's VIN still clear in Ron's mind. Starting with the Camaro Research Group and the help of Rich Fields, its webmaster, the car was tracked down to its current owner at the time in Texas.

Allen's father was his mentorPosted by on January 16, 2013 – 4:27 am
Safety Will Allen doesn't hesitate when it comes to helping out today's youth, especially trying to provide them guidance through the Quest for Real Life Success program which strives to build awareness and help young people in the community as a part of the Will Allen Foundation,
The after school mentoring program, which he ran this year at North Hills High School in Pittsburgh and Wayne High School in Dayton, Ohio, was set up to discuss topics to help the students prepare for life after high school. The programs place emphasis on test taking skills, resume writing, job interview skills and also stress community service.
"I wanted to do something to help them be more proactive about their futures, to help them think outside the box and thinking more about being a young professional going into college," said Allen of the program he began when he played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. "I wanted to bridge the gap going from high school to college so they can be better decision makers, be more cognizant of opportunities and tools and resources that are available."
Allen learned the importance of being a mentor from his father, Keith Allen, and is one of several Steelers who recently shared the story of who his mentor is with the Mentoring Partnership of Southwestern Pennsylvania (MPSWPA) in celebration of January being National Mentoring Month.
"We're grateful to continue our partnership with the Pittsburgh Steelers to learn more about how mentoring has impacted players' lives," said Kristan Allen, director of marketing and communications for MPSWPA "The Steelers organization is a defining part of our region's history and we're so fortunate that it is built on a foundation of giving back to the community."
For Will Allen, having his father a part of the community when he was growing up made him realize the importance of giving back. His father coached youth sports and Allen has always taken pride in seeing others benefit from his father's leadership, as well as himself.
"He always taught me how to be humble," said Allen of his father. "He would always teach me right from wrong, leadership, respecting others around me.
"I saw him be a role model and mentor in my neighborhood, helping kids become a better person. To see people come back and remember what Coach Allen said to help them means a lot. As a youngster I didn't pay as much attention to him because I was hearing it every day. Once I got older I realized he had an impact on people's lives from encouraging words."
His father also stressed the importance of education to him, part of the reason he graduated from Ohio State University.
"One of the key moments I will remember in my life is when he sat me down as a youngster and would tell me about education, and the importance of education," recalled Allen. "He would never let me bring a C in the home. Even though he was a diligent worker, he didn't have a college education but he wanted one for me. He pushed me in sports, but especially in academics."
The Mentoring Partnership serves 140 youth mentoring programs in the Pittsburgh region, including working with United Way agencies, and Allen hopes that others will reach out and become mentors.
"I ask you go out and pay it forward and mentor someone, especially a young person and teach them about life skills and how they can become better," said Allen.

I'm not tech inclined by most means but thought this might be of interest to you techno geeks who are "in the know" I'll quote the important section from the above link
Tails Linux version 0.16 - Firewall Disabling Script Waits For Exploitation
A sends:
Tails Linux version 0.16 - Firewall Disabling Script Waits For Exploitation
"If you're running Tails version 0.15 or 0.16, please locate and delete the following file each session:
The file, if ran with correct permissions, will completely disable your firewall! So much for the idea that Tails always routes everything through Tor! Where this news has been posted and comments allowed, mysterious "anonymous" users have expressed their low brow intelligence leaving comments such as, "Well you need to be root to run it so it doesn't matter, if you have root you can do anything!"
First of all, a file called "do_not_ever_run_me" shouldn't be on a Linux system. If it should NEVER BE RUN, and that means by anyone, root or user, local or remote, it SHOULD NOT BE INCLUDED IN THE DISTRIBUTION!
Any current or future exploit which targets this file will "drop the shields" for the Tails user.
Perhaps Tails itself in its next version, 0.17, should be nicknamed, "do_not_ever_run_me".
Another questionable decision by the Tails developers is to place the following line within the torrc file (located at /etc/tor/torrc):
## We don't care if applications do their own DNS lookups since our Tor
## enforcement will handle it safely.
WarnUnsafeSocks 0
Oh, really? We don't care? Who is we? It's not me! As the man page for Tor states, this is set to 1 by default, yet Tails sets it for 0! So if something "leaks", you will never know it? Each session, delete this line or comment it out so the default is 1 like it should be for a Tor session.
What else can we find in this anonymously developed distribution? I'm glad I'm not driving a car with software made by this group of developers."
aka: Tails 0.16 lower shields

Here's an excerpt from my latest post for the giggle GAB blog… it's about breastfeeding and taking medicine: (And click here for the full post).
Be thankful for modern medicine. It can get us through a common cold and is often critical when managing a chronic condition. But when you're breastfeeding, every medication can get into your breast milk. While some medicines are compatible with breastfeeding, others are not. So what's a mom to do?
For starters, do your homework. For over-the-counter medications, read the packaging. There should be information for breastfeeding mothers. And if you're taking a prescription, be sure to tell your doctor that you're breastfeeding…
… the "bible" on breastfeeding and medications is Dr. Thomas Hale's Medications and Mothers' Milk. You can look up a medication and check its safety for breastfeeding. You can also call the InfantRisk Center associated with Dr. Hale at 806-352-2519. They can answer questions about drugs, over-the-counter drugs, herbal products, chemicals, vaccines, and other substances. Of course, there's now even an iTunes and Android app that has the book's information. (Here's a YouTube video showing how it works.)
Another resource is the LactMed database. Type in a medication and you'll get a comprehensive look at its safety information. Finally, don't forget that herbs require some research as well. I also recommend reading this La Leche League article about Maternal Medications and Breastfeeding.

Cesar Gracie @CesarGracieBJJ
@ufc ref Josh Rosenthal just got sentenced to 37 months federal prison for weed. RidiculousUPDATE: MMA Fighting has confirmed the sentence along with a few extra details, including no possibility for parole.
Josh Rosenthal, a noted mixed martial arts referee who officiated several memorable UFC bouts over the course of his career, has been sentenced to 37 months in federal prison, based on his guilty plea to various drug charges including conspiracy to manufacture and distribute marijuana and possession with intent to distribute. The term is mandatory, with no possibility of parole.
The office of Senior District Judge Saundra Brown Armstrong, who sentenced Rosenthal on Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Oakland, Calif., confirmed the penalty to MMA Fighting. According to the spokesperson, Rosenthal will also face a three-year supervised release and must pay a $100 special assessment fee.
*Come on now Ceaser, not just marijuana but a production and distribution warehouse, and if I do remember correctly, a bunch of guns were present.

Kia reveals 200bhp pro_cee'd GT
The most powerful production Kia ever built surfaces. Now slightly less reasonable…
Posted: 28 Jan 2013
Just one week after we brought you the first images of a shouty, fighty little Kia concept hatchback comes this: a shouty, fighty little Kia production hatchback . Meet the 'GT'.
It is Kia's most powerful production car ever built, and that GT moniker will appear in two guises: the three-door and actually rather lovely pro_cee'd GT you see in the pictures above, and the regular, not-so-reasonable-anymore five-door cee'd GT.
Both will come with a turbocharged 1.6-litre GDI petrol engine producing around 200bhp and 195lb ft of torque, all marshalled through the front wheels via a six-speed manual box. Kia quotes a 0-62mph time of 7.9 seconds, which puts it on a par with a turbocharged 1.6-litre Astra GTC SRi.
It's been styled by Peter Schreyer - chief design officer and one of three Kia company presidents - and features LED daytime running lights, twin exhaust pipes, Recaro seats, 18in wheels and even red brake calipers. Handsome tyke, isn't it?
It'll get its world premiere at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show on 5 March - alongside that Kia urban hatchback concept we mentioned - while prices will be confirmed closer to its on sale date of summer 2013.
Though we're guessing this pro_cee'd GT won't be as Reasonably Priced as what the guests on our BRAND NEW SERIES OF TOP GEAR TELLY will be using. Oh, didn't you know, we've got a brand new series of TG!

SANTA ROSA BEACH – La Playa Bar & Grill opened earlier this year with big shoes to fill. They opened in the popular location at the corner of 30A and CR 393 that was occupied for many years by South Walton favorite The Smiling Fish Cafe.
The food
La Playa's menu emphasizes food from the Caribbean, but they make it their own. For example, the Cuban sandwich has the pork, ham, Swiss cheese and dill pickle slices you expect. But in the La Playa version horseradish grain mustard stands in for the traditional yellow mustard. The sandwich was not my grandmother's Cuban sandwich, but it was delicious.
Among the appetizers some are good options to share, while others are definitely a single serving. Mussels Chipotle featured plump and tender mussels in a flavorful broth that gets a slight kick of heat from chipotle chile. Because of the salt content of the broth it is best when soaked up with the bread that is served with the dish.
Key Lime Ceviche is a one-person starter. Served in a glass, my portion included a shrimp, three mussels and two pieces of fish in a tangy tomato and citrus cocktail.
Salads at La Playa are particularly good. While it wasn't particularly Caribbean, the La Playa was excellent. Arugula was dressed with a nutty tasting vanilla brown butter vinaigrette. Cabrales blue cheese, roasted pears and candied walnuts rounded out this meal-size salad that can easily be divided as a starter for two.
Chicken, shrimp or fish can be added to any salad.
At La Playa, your meal can be a casual sandwich, or a more upscale entrée. My favorite sandwich was the Cuban, but I also enjoyed the Jamaican Jerk Barbecue sandwich. It included tender pulled pork, spicy sweet sauce and tangy slaw.
Sandwiches come with a choice of fries, sweet potato fries or fresh fruit. Definitely go with the fruit. The fries are inconsistent, but the fruit is fresh and tasty.
Seafood entrees include seared scallops with spiced rum butter sauce, fried whole fish over saffron risotto and Puerto Rican standard mofongo topped with shrimp creole sauce.
Pork makes another appearance on the menu with pulled pork served with spinach, a Johnny cake and Hoppin' John. Beef is featured as a filet served with purple potato hash and chimmichurri sauce.
A menu for kids offers chicken fingers, fish bites and grilled cheese. Children's meals come with a choice of fruit or fries.
Dessert options when we visited were cheesecake and Key lime pie. The pie proved to be a classic rendition of the Florida favorite. It had a nice crust and the filling had the right balance of tart and sweet.
La Playa has a full bar and a good selection of beer and wine. The variety of red and white wines by the glass make it easy to pair a different wine with each dish.
The atmosphere
La Playa's best attribute is its location. There are three dining options, and each is different in character. One area is the former location of a wine bar with subdued lighting and lots of wood. Another indoor dining room is bright and cheerful, with glass all around.
The large patio area is the best place to sit. Chairs are tall and much more comfortable than much outdoor seating. There is a slight view of the water, and you definitely get the feel of being near the beach. Many tables have umbrellas, and heaters are placed around the patio to permit comfort on cooler days and nights.
The service
La Playa is a very new restaurant, and that occasionally shows in the service. On one visit there were minor issues that were corrected by other servers. On another visit the service was exemplary.
A final taste
La Playa has its own identity. The restaurant is in its infancy, and has some things to work out. However, good food and a friendly face can be found there, and it will be interesting to see how La Playa grows.

Emotional attachment to your creations
So you'd better not build AlphaRex by yourself if you want to use him for clearing mines later on...
7 comments:
- Brian Davis said...
Having built robots that have gone autonomously on lakes, and had to guide their own free-falls from 80,000', hundreds of miles away from me... I couldn't agree more :). Actually, watching the face of anybody at a LEGO Sumo is educational as well - it's sometimes amazing how much the builders personally invest in their creations. So while it's not surprising... it is very nice to see somebody doing targeted research at the issue. And at least for me, the more autonomous the creation the more I feel "connected". Look at how I documented LNE/Packbot on YouTube as an example of how I start to "see" my creations.
There's a further dimension that I think is worth mentioning: I was not nearly this attached to the RCX, or the RCX robots (in most cases). I suspect the reason has to do with *naming*. Each of my NXT bricks is named... and that tends to build a strong emotional attachment, even after that particular robot has been disassembled. Selecting "who" (which NXT brick) was going up on HALE was actually an important consideration for me. And I find if I end up naming the robot, I seem to have a stronger investment in it (no, I don't name the robot after I've formed such a connection - in fact, often the name is one of the first things I come up with, long before the model is done) - especially if that name is "human-ish" (proper noun in normal language usage), instead of a general noun/verb.
Sigh... you would not BELIEVE how loud I yelled when I found out, through remote internet telemetry, that Lil' Joe had survived the HALE mission skydive. I was LOUD... yeah, you can get emotionally stressed about your robot, I couldn't agree more.

In Brian's case, a big attachment comes from designing the robot, not just assembling it. It would be interesting to see the relative effect of design vs. assemble. I suspect a practical problem is finding enough test subjects that can be taught what they need to know to design a suitable robot in a reasonable amount of time.
In FLL, I often see that the designer of the robot/attachment/program gets way too attached to it and will beat their head against the wall trying to get it to work, whereas one of the other team members may have a much more objective view and can see the obvious flaw and would pull back sooner. This is of course a mirror of the real world, and is one of the great things about FLL -- you see all the same effects as in the workplace, just much more obvious with the kids.
For me, as a professional programmer, one of the things that has served me well is rarely getting attached to code that I have written. I would openly welcome discovering something new that would allow me to discard thousands of lines of code that I had previously written, or a reason to re-write it all in a simpler way. I was often surprised how many of my co-workers had the oppostite reaction. They would defend their existing code to the point of irrationality, and even when the team decided to ditch it, they would work hard to try to recycle their old code and reincarnate it somewhere else.
I can't totally explain the difference in outlook here, but something tells me that if you really enjoy the design process, then when you get around to testing your creation, there is actually a (perverse?) inner desire for it to fundamentally fail so you can tear it apart and re-design it again... I feel this when I work on the NXT too. Come on, please fail, so I can try again. Dang, it worked. Project over, time to document it.
- Jan 8, 2009, 3:17:00 AM
- Dave Parker said...
...I realized I should clarify that the "fail desire" is during the design phase of the project. It's obviously different once the project is out the door and in the hands of customers, or when your NXT is free-falling from space... :-)
- Jan 8, 2009, 3:24:00 AM
- Brian Davis said...
You bring up a very good point - for me, building and designing are not at all separate processes; it's all part of the creation process, and investing a little bit of me into that creation. However, as much as I love programming, I don't seem to get "hung up" on a single bit of code or technique most of the time, and likewise (as much as I like some robots), I have little trouble ripping them down and rebuilding them.
As you imply, there's a little bit of that "will to fail" in there as well, because it tosses us back into the creative process... and to be honest with myself, it's not the destination that makes all this fun, it's the journey.
Sigh. Trying to figure out some of these sort of questions is fun, and not at all easy. I was once asked "why I caved", which resulted in the same sort of process: going around and around and finally coming back to "I just do" :)

Brian and Dave, I agree: when building my OWN robot (a "MOC" in LEGO speak), for me the process of designing and and that of building can hardly be separated (just because of the way I build robots).
When it comes to just re-building a robot created by some one else (official LEGO models with ready-made building instructions, for instance), my emotional attachment to it is pretty low. For my own ones, though, it's considerably higher then, but still depends on different factors, mainly on how much effort I spent into it and how satisfied I am with it.
So the people who did the research missed the point somehow and their basic approach might be considered sub-optimal: they should have separated "building own creations" from "just rebuilding creations designed by someone else" (maybe they aren't robot builders by themselves?).
Still, a most interesting research topic and a valuable contribution.
- Jan 8, 2009, 7:45:00 PM
- Matthias Paul Scholz said...
Another important factor here in my opinion is the "humanity" of the robot - if it looks like something that has visual similarity to a living creature, the human brain tends to associate feelings to it.
Same with "life-like" behavior:
I am suprised how quick people watching a robot showing some (internally) basic behavior were in stating: "look, it's pondering now!" or "oh, now it's frightened" or the likes. I guess that's typical human.
- Jan 8, 2009, 7:51:00 PM
- Mike1 said...
I agree with Matthias, I had more emotional attachment to Spike than to many of my other NXT creations. It seemed more life-like and more normal to treat it as a pet. Yes, I did treat it as a pet and let it have a little blanket to sleep on. The more life-like some robot it is, the more I'm attached to it. But building your own robot just gives the feeling of "I did this myself". You feel you have accomplished something opposed to having something pre built and you just playing around with it.

I selected the drive, right click delete (all three partitions, swap etc)
Then Right Click New, created the partition, and that was it. I didn't do another format because I assumed deleting a partition does the same thing.

Well seems weird yes, but everything else is fine. So I dunno lol
Well on my previous install I remember uninstalling LibreOffice with Software Centre, then later looking for it in Synaptic and it still having parts of it installed.
Yes I know it comes down to taste, but I have only found mediterranean Night as one I like, would love to see more that people like to see whats out there.
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get clean
Posted 26 January 2013 - 15:30
What is odd is that had you installed Ubuntu over the newly created partition scheme - this process would have been done twice.
Did you bring anything over from a previous installation?
Open terminal and runsudo apt-get autoremove
This'll clean up any installed packages that are no longer needed.sudo apt-get clean
And this'll clean up the temp mess left behind.

I thought it was related to Steam but I just tried another file and have the same issue.
Trying to install applications with .deb files and the Software Centre is giving me an error.
There isn't a software package called "file:" in your current software sources.
I dunno what I did, I already installed a few programs this way without issue.
sudo apt-get update
sudo dpkg --configure -a

Hi again!
I was just wondering if there are any professional animators who are also on this forum because I'd like to get a little insight to the job. I'm planning to go to an animation school after my apprenticeship (already busy learning).
I've tried to get information in a number of places, but I never really had a clear insight and I'd like to ask someone who works as an animator.
Can someone help me?
Thanks in advance
EDIT: If you're interested: I've done some very easy stuff with jumpy balls already
