Gentry Connty, Misaoari, which boasted of baring taken more premi- nma at tbe World's Fair tban any other single connty in tbe United States, is again a subject for congra- tnlations, having captured a large nnm¬ ber of tbe beat premiums at the recent big atock sbow at tbe Omaha Exposi¬ tion. It ia aaid by experts of bigh rank tbat tba Omaba exhibit of fancy atock waa larger and better than the memorajile one at Chicago. Experiment* conducted nnder tbe anspioes of tbe Department of Agri- onltare at Waabington for a couple of yeara are said to indicate tbat bog .ohoMa, or swine plague, can be treated wilb suooess and with comparatively little expeuse. According to Dr. Sal¬ mon, of the Bureau of Animal Indos- Iry, eighty percent, of tbe hogs treated hi droves havt been saved, white in tba droves aflfeoted with cholera, but not given tbe serum treatment em¬ ployed by tbe department, eighty per cent, were lost. Laat year tbe experi- manta raaoltad iit. % loaa of twenty-two par cent, and ttis year tbe loss amounted to only nineteen per cent. In tha view ot Dr. Salmon there is no qaaation of the effectiveness of the serum treatment, which now takes rank aa a proved snooess. This is a matter of a very great interest to the farmers of tbe country who raise live stock, for, ace.rding to one estimate, the bog raisers of tbe United States loat $16,400,000 in tbe year 1896 tbroagb the ravages of hog cholera, an amount the bulk of which might seemingly have been saved through tbe application of the serum treat nJent. It does not need reference to the well-known maxim, "Just as the twig is bent tbe tree inclines," to show tbe importance of inculcating frugal, sav¬ ing babita among ohildren. Practically, bowever, ia most schools this is a | matter of precept only, and even that is Qot in moat oases made prominent by proper inaiatenee. Tbo dilfereDoe snob babita irisely directed may bring abont in tbe lirea of ohildren ia cer¬ tainly raat enough to make the sub¬ ject of inouleiting habits of thrift and eoonomy a feature of tbe public aoboola. Tbia baa been done in many o( the sehoola of Chicago, by the aatabliabmant of tbe penny savinga bank ayalam, through tbe aid and co¬ operation of the teaobera and certain banka. Tbo ayatam ia ao arranged aa toraqnire but little time on tbe part d taaobara and prinoipala. The Til- ton seboo|, np to last Jnne, bad aav- ing* amonnting to 1400, the syatem having being in operation aince the 33d of March laat. One of the im¬ mediate and gratifying resnits in tbat acbool of ihe saving habit, according to tbe Principal, says the Chicago Kews, bas been tbe |: radical abolition of gum chewing and cigarette smok¬ ing—results in themselves worth all tbe extra time and attention given by the teachers, to say nothing of the benefit financially and physically tc the ohildren themselves.

Then, after the hurrah was over, after we were hoarse with cheer ing, after officers bad beeu jumped up in numbers with dazzling rapidity and we bad clasped ^hf left home-cumisr to our grateful breast^then perhap* we were inclined to feel somewhat foolish and began to think we had made too much fuss over a little thing like that. Perish the thought! Our ehuUitiona of feeling did credit to the nation and when the tree of honor was shaken the plnma fell generall,? into tbe right places. If we have any doubt upon tbis<iuesliimnf rnlhusiaam look at wbat big geese our Kngliab eoasins are making over their return¬ ing viotors, mnses tbe New York Tele gram.

A notice WB8 tacked up at the foot of the steps leadiug to the little hall in Kingston. Tbe crooked obaracters,laboriously formed, proclaimed to tbe world that a com¬ pany would be organized on a certain 'iiigbt. Without any intention what¬ ever of being present nt the meetiug, I strolled to the village thnt eveniug aAd mechanically ascended the steps; not tbat I bad auy intention of en¬ rolling—none in the world, Kate and I hadn't been married but three iQonths, and I knew it would break her heart if I left her theu. And, be¬ sides, my profession required my con¬ stant atteotiou. If thiugs had been so I could bave left I would have been among the iirst-to put down my name —I guess I would. Htill, impelled by some marvelous fancinatiou, I wnu- dered in. My old friend Trouttnan, a fellow whom I had tolerated with a sort of patronizing iudilTeruuce, wus making a vigorous speech, and the listeners howled approval at every¬ thing be said, though, goodness knows, it was dull euougUaud violated every rule of oratory. But I suppose to their untutored cars it soiiuded very flue. At its couolusiou Trout- man invited every oue who wanted to join the company to come forward and sigu the roll. A rush was made to the front. I started to gu out, wheir that chump ot n Troutmau aiinouuced that one more man was needed. Hu waited and I iiolieud several glanced at me. It was rather iiupertitieut, hut you couldn't e.xpect auythiug better nInoBg people with RiicU raising. I looked over iu a corner and luy eyes rested ou .lack Ilaslle.v, Ho. too, was gazing at luc, with a slight look of oouteiiipt, 1 tbou.ifUt, 1 wa« about to reprimand tlio uumanuerly buiugs for their inKoleiicc, wlieu Uostley, with a curioua glauoe at lue, walked to the register, took up the pen and com¬ pleted the list by signing liis name. I met him outside, drew him iu a corner aud handed him $'>(K Ho touk it and thanked me with a little mure feeling than I thought ouu of his breeding could exhibit. Then I iiuticjd that he wasn't such a bud-looking follow after all. He had a broad furehea.l, clear-out moutfa aud uose, dark, in¬ telligent eyei), and then he had a resolute air about him that made you think be was something of a man, even if he wos a pauper. Wuon ho looked at me that uight there was somethintf of such expressive onruest- ness io his face that I almost forgot bis father was a laborer and bis mother had tu do her own house¬ work. Well, the volunteers were called ont, and Kate aud 1 went to tbo depot to see them off. Hlio burst into tears wben Hastley got on tho train and waved bis hand, but 1 supposed it was because she was thinking uf that poor old father and laother he was leaving behind. After that came Ihe Hantia.tjo fight and some of the Kitigstou volunteers got hurt. 1 was sitting iu my study, and my thoughts iuvoluutariny revert¬ ed to "my sub." It was a warm nigbt an.l all the windows were up, I don't know how he got in, there was no noise of the door opening, but wben I wheeled my chair to the desk I saw seated opposite lue the sutiject of my lumlitatiou, 1 was naturally somewhat aatonisbed, but welcoiued bim aa courteously as I could under tbe cir¬ cumstances. He gazed wearily around tbe room. His complexion was a curi¬ ous mixture uf pallor aud suulmrn. His face was much thinner than when I bad seen it last, and he had tbe ap pearance of oue who ha.l been about starved to death. His eyes roved cou- idsutly, but they lacked luflre aud in¬ telligence. I told hlui I was glad to see him and naked huw the buys were. He jumped all preliminary movotuents and began dcseriliing tbe attack on Sau .Tuan and El Canev Heights. His voice souu.le.l strangely nnfaniiliai, bui I attributed it tu bis rough experi¬ ence. ' "It won't du to say those Spaniards ¦ an'l sbu.it, " be weut un, "because as «• went up tbe air was as fnll uf bnl 'els aa bees aroun.i a hi I "Whall want.

Yuu will know wbu it is. .\nd tbeu there is a great tear on tbo left arm from the baud clear np to the elbow. That wns niado liy tbe barb wire. There aro two Inilkd holes tbruugh tbe left leg, oue through the right shoul¬ der, one near the right knee, nnd one tlitongh tbo heart. Tbero may be utbers tbat struck oftcr tbe lost oue wos tired. "I wont to be laid alongiido Sister Grace"—his voice shook tbrcugb tbo tbiu lips—"and then souieoue maj noiiie time come out there to the little ceiuctcrj aud put a flower or two ovei us. I kuow mother will—and I hope someone else. Kbave hod a bard life, Will, and o few muuths before I went to tbo war I possed through one ol thoso experiences that stay with a man. You know what I meon. She was very kind, aud I loved the verj air she breathed. Of course she was way above me. She married and I— well, I died. No, I'll not tell you wbo she ia, hut I wont to be where she can come il sue's amind. I nl most foucy tbat I oould feel those footsteps near me. Will you do this fur me, Will'^ I kno.v it's asking n lot of you to moke that long trip, but remember, you cculdn't hove go^oul of it that nigbt il I hadn't taken your place." Aud OS I made him tho solemn promise to faithfully cxcc'jto his wishes 0 glad smile stole over his face and he glided from tho room. I told Kate tbe next day that .Jack Hastley bad hien killed at Santiago and that I intended to go South, re¬ cover bis body and briug it home foi interment in onr town cemetery. 1 expected nothing else but o storm oi protests, ending in a tit of weeping. But there was nothing of tbe sort. At first she turned deadly pale and sank in a chair. Then she arose and walked towards me, and placed both hands on ray shoulders aud said: "3od bless you. Will; that is good ot you," Theu I knew who the girl was that poor Hastley had loved aud lost.— The Criterion.

We grieve for Rick Siegrist
This tragic and untimely death leaves us and the complete NXT community behind with great sadness.
You might want to leave some comment in Rick's online obituary.

Having met and worked with Rick, I can honestly say that he will be sorely missed. I had a great time talking about directions for the Mindstorms NXT product line, as well as just hanging out and people watching everyone around us.

Rick was a really great man. The world lost one of the best and it really hurts. We sparked a friendship together through the MINDSTORMS activities he attended when in the USA. He will be missed and my condolences go to his family. Thank you for the Son, Brother, Father, and Friend!

What a great and funny guy he was! This is sad news, for his family and for LEGO. I, too, enjoyed getting to know him. Just like Brian said, he would sort of hang back and watch the kids and adults interact with the NXT robots... making us laugh with his subtle jokes and comments.
Great guy who will be missed.

Hopper - Building Instructions
This is a project I've been working on lately. As its name says, it is a hopping robot moving around a room while avoiding objects.
It walks by rotating a frame, like a walker. Then, using its one foot it can turn around.
It is made from a single NXT kit. Building instructions are found here. (click)
Below is a video of the robot in action. I've also included some 3D animations of the robot.

Yes, I had seen it before, nice design. I didn't look at it when building this one though, I couldn't find it.
Stupid of me to not look in your brickshelf folder :).
Mine would not be capable of following a line, not very fast at least.
Sorry, I had to, it didn't walk well with two legs. Just kidding :)

I like the animation. It really reveals some of the design. I've been looking for some ideas centered around the turntable that my 5th graders can use for a special project.

It reminds me of my old granny tooling-around with her walker...but with 2 legs/feet in her case...and somewhat comparably faster in Hopper's case.
Great job mimicking my future.

Thanks for sharing this, Laurens! It provides an answer to a particularly thorny problem I've been having with my next animal robot. Now, if you could just solve the problem of a realistic (and consistent) NXT snake!

Hi. Just stumbled across your blog. The robot looks great. Just been reading about the Honda Asimo recently. They are advancing pretty quickly here.
- Apr 19, 2008, 9:56:00 PM
- Laurens Valk said...
Thanks everybody.
Not sure what you use the turntable contruction for, but it might not work well under heavy load. I haven't tested that, though. It should work fine for projects like these and maybe a bit heavier.
About the animation, youtube really downsized the quality of it. If you are interested I can send you the original file.
Lol, you're not the first one who got that idea. In fact, it wasn't my intention to make it look like that when I built it. :)
A snake, that is a pretty interesting idea! I've seen several ones on youtube but they were not that realistic. I might look into it.

The NXT Frog
First one was the leaping NXT Frog:
Building time: 20 minutes
Programming time: 3 minutes
Once I've worked through the book (which I like very much already now), I will post a complete review here.

- PauletteT said...
Just a quick comment-My son just pointed out to me that this frog can't be built with just the 9797 Edu kit as stated in this video.
The kit only has 2 of the "grey Technic Pin Connector Perpendicular 1 x 3 with 4 Pins".
In the video we can see that there are four of them used in the frogs back.
I think it's meant to be 9797 together with 9648 (edu Resource kit)
My kids will have to come up with a mod!
- Nov 25, 2009, 11:45:00 PM
- Rick Rhodes said...
Yes, you're correct. (The book itself makes note of of this). Thanks for pointing this out.
And thank you, Matthias, for your creative, instructive video!

There should be an annotation visible in the You Tube video (at 00:30) that states that information.

staff writer | February 06,2013A Green Mountain College student was held on $150,000 bail Tuesday after denying charges he beat and sexually assaulted a fellow student.
Arthur B. Field, 22, of Warwick, N.Y., pleaded innocent in Rutland criminal court to repeated aggravated sexual assault, a charge that carries a possible life sentence.
Field entered court after posting the $25,000 bail imposed upon his arrest Monday.
Deputy States Attorney Kevin Klamm had asked Judge William Cohen to set Fields bail at $250,000.
Your honor, Mr. Fields, aside from his education location of Green Mountain College, has no contacts in the state, said Klamm, who also requested conditions barring Field from Green Mountain College.
These conditions of release are designed to set him up to fail, said Fields attorney Steven J. Howard, noting his client lives on campus. He has not received any communication that hes not welcome back at Green Mountain College.
According to affidavits filed with the court, over a six-hour period beginning in the early-morning hours of Jan. 26, Field repeatedly punched, choked and sexually assaulted a female student in Fields dormitory room in Cree Hall.
Judge Cohen ordered Field to not contact his alleged victim, but stopped short of barring him from campus.
The court will defer to Green Mountain College as to whether the defendant will be allowed to reside there, Cohen said.
By Tuesday evening, the college had made its decision.
Arthur Field was enrolled at Green Mountain College, GMC Director of Communications Kevin Coburn wrote in an email. He is being placed on interim suspension today based on the felony charges being brought against him. We have no further comment on the incident at this time.
Field left the courtroom in handcuffs and remains incarcerated in Rutland jail.

5.0 Mustang & Super FordsProject Vehicles
Clevor Engine Intake Manifold Upgrade - Box Score
Upgrading our Clevor Engine Build with a Trick Flow Short-Runner Upper Intake
We're always talking about next-level performance for late-model Mustangs. Handling and engine-performance are the main points of focus, and typically, our mantra is the more, the better. This never- ending quest for performance has us always on the lookout for new products or methods of increasing-and-improving performance for '89-'13 Ponies.
In 2011, commissioning Coast High Performance to build a fuel-injected, 408ci Windsor with Trick Flow's new PowerPort 225cc Cleveland cylinder heads and R Series intake manifold (a Clevor engine) was one of the ideas we followed through on. Since that project's first report ("Hot In Cleveland," July '11), Greg Montoya nailed the hammer to the mat in our hard charge to learn more about the potential of this unique combination.
On this particular leg of the continued effort, we want to see the impact--negative or positive--of a simple intake- manifold swap on this Pony's unique bullet. This idea came about after Tech Editor KJ Jones and Gregg Changet at Trick Flow--although pleased with the Clevor's initial chassis-dyno results (432 hp/428 lb-ft without nitrous)--thought there was "a lot more power where that came from." We thought the Box R upper plenum intake manifold would be the best place to find it.
As we've explained in past reports, Trick Flow's Cleveland-style heads offer bigger valves, canted valve angles, large intake/slightly raised (0.100-inch) exhaust ports, and closed chambers. That makes them comparable to the Ford Aussie 2V and 4V heads of the '70s--heavy breathers that proved to be great performers on stroked engines.
Horse Sense: The dragstrip segment of this test, while successful, left us just on the edge of crossing one of the major performance plateaus for any regularly driven street/strip Mustang--the 10-second zone. Post-track investigation showed us that the clutch in Greg Montoya's '89 GT was thoroughly fragged, and it more than likely had been since our first runs on the chassis dyno. We're noting all this to reinforce how important it is to seat a new clutch before hammering a 'Stang on the chassis dyno or track. A new Centerforce Dyad will be backing up the 408 Clevor engine by the time you read this.

She said "yes"....
This ring exceeded my expectations! Absolutely gorgeous!!! The purchase process was above and beyond any I've ever experienced. Picking out a diamond with every one of you diamond experts was an absolute pleasure; they were knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and never in a hurry to get off the phone. I would never have made a purchase this large on line if I hadn't heard so many rave reviews from others, and now I know they were absolutely right and I would re om end you guys to anyone!
ANDREY, APOLLO BEACH FL April 2014
This bracelet is magnificent -- high quality diamonds of exceptional color set in a premium grade platinum setting. The price was very fair vs. local jewelers in my area, although none had a 10 caret tennis bracelet in stock when I went to price compare and no local jeweler carried the diamond quality I was seeking in such a bracelet which made price comparison understandably difficult. Bottomline: I trust Blue Nile and know, first-hand, with other former Blue Nile diamond purchases that local jewelers cannot beat Blue Nile prices because jewelers have confided that to me on previous occasions when I wanted to buy from my local jewelers instead. I firmly believe Blue Nile prices can't be beat, and they stand behind their diamond gradings -- honest and ethical. I have not been "burned", and I fully expect to make future purchases through Blue Nile even though I could easily go into NYC's diamond district instead.
Denise, Holmdel NJ March 2014
Just what he was looking for!
He wanted a ring that isn't not too flashy but somewhat unique. He also wanted it to be a strong metal that didn't easily scratch and wasn't too expensive. I was worried that the ring might look inexpensive, but I was wrong. We both love this ring and it fit all his requirements. We also bought my engagement ring on Blue Nile and both rings and the service both times were fantastic! Also you get a 10% discount on wedding bands if you purchased the engagement ring through Blue Nile.
Lee, FARMVILLE VA March 2014
Simply FABULOUS!
It had been 38 years since I got my original half-carat emerald cut engagement ring so when we decided to replace it with a new ring with a larger emerald cut diamond, I needed some brushing up on my diamond knowledge. The education section of the Blue Nile site told me everything I needed to know, and I went to the Build Your Own Ring section and started the fun process of picking the diamond with the characteristics most important to me. I chose the Tapered Cathedral setting in platinum and the Signature Ideal cut in order to get the most sparkle from the diamond, yet I was still absolutely astounded at how FABULOUS this diamond was when I first laid eyes on it! As my husband put it, on a scale of 1-10 this stone is a 15! I've never seen an emerald cut diamond this gorgeous. I'm totally thrilled with the ring, the price, and the entire purchase experience.
Sue, Irmo SC March 2014
She can't stop taking pictures of the ring!
Like anyone else making a very large purchase on the internet without seeing the product in person, I was a little nervous. I received great word of mouth about Blue Nile from several friends and also my brother who also purchased his engagement ring on the site. After MUCH discussion and sharing of pictures from my fiancee I was able to finally narrow down that this one was her favorite. The ring is amazing. My fiancee loves it and literally sends me several pictures a day of it on her hand... highly recommend.

Blue nile marriage
I went to different stores and tried on similar ones, but the quality wasnt good enough, So I decided to order this one. It came on the mail super fast and it is spectacular! it shines amazingly, and the quality is exceptional, matching my engagement ring from same company! I already got my fiance s ring also here, we are a proud blue nile marriage ;)
Anonymous February 2014
She loved this ring!
This cut is beautiful. It catches the eye from quite the distance. You can see the precision and the quality in the details of the diamond. I did not really have any reservations buying the ring with this diamond due to Blue Nile's reputation and now I know why they have the reputation they do. My fiance's ring the source of envy for many girls.
Anonymous February 2014
Build your own is way to go
Go for it...you will love them. Research and build your own pair, a little time spent educating yourself on diamonds and finding the perfect pair will allow you to get a higher color and cut grade for less than the ready to buy sets.
Anonymous February 2014
So happy
The stones are the perfect size and are brighter than my sister's (blue box brand) eternity band that cost $15,000. Goes great with my custom engagement ring.

Thanks to a generous donation from BIGHORN Behind a Miracle (BAM), Eisenhower Schnitzer/Novack Breast Center was able to purchase the most advanced, state-of-the-art dense breast imaging diagnostic tool available, and is only the second facility in California to offer this exciting new technology. The SenoBright® Contrast-Enhanced Spectral Mammography (CESM) from GE Healthcare is a powerful diagnostic modality — able to detect minute cancers, as well as reduce the waiting time between detection and diagnosis."This technique is approved for use in women who traditionally have troublesome mammograms," says Dr. Cutrone. "In other words, we can use this for women with dense breasts or women where we find an abnormality that is indeterminate. By giving them a dye and reviewing a contrast-enhanced mammogram, we'll be able to get more, and better, information and determine whether or not a biopsy is required."
According to Dr. Cutrone, it is easy to see abnormalities using traditional mammography on women with fatty breasts. As a woman's breast tissue becomes denser, finding cancer becomes more challenging."
CESM is a tremendous leap forward for us in breast imaging," notes Dr. Cutrone. "One of the most difficult aspects of diagnostic medicine is finding a small cancer in a woman with dense breasts. The size of the cancer at the time it is detected is one of the most important determinants of how well a woman will do with treatment for breast cancer — our ability to find essentially small cancers that we might not otherwise have found is a very exciting prospect for us."
Dr. Cutrone continues, "The ability to see how breast tissue reacts when a medication that seeks out areas of high blood flow is given, bridges the gap between traditional mammography — which is purely anatomic (shows what something looks like) — and MRI, which is a functional test (shows how much blood flow the abnormality has). We know that cancerous areas take up dye due to high blood flow differently than normal or benign conditions."
"BAM's involvement has been extraordinary," says Belinda Zaparinuk, RT (M), BS, CBEC, Manager, Eisenhower Schnitzer/ Novack Breast Centers. "Each year, we see more than 23,000 patients, and BAM's generosity has touched the lives of each one. They have greatly enhanced the quality of care available in this community and we feel so blessed."
Eisenhower Schnitzer/Novack Breast Centers are located across the valley in La Quinta, Rancho Mirage and Palm Springs. During the past two years, each location has received brand new mammography equipment as well as state-of-the-art breast ultrasound equipment. CESM is available at the Rancho Mirage location in the Eisenhower Lucy Curci Cancer Center.
Breast Center staff includes Diagnostic Radiologists Deborah Rubin, MD and John Cutrone, MD, technologists, nurses, a film librarian and clerical support.

MaKey MaKey kit turns everyday objects into actual computer controllers (video)
Fruit, Play-Doh, paper, humans, anything that can conduct the slightest electrical current can now be transformed into fully working gaming controllers with the aid of the MaKey MaKey Everyday Invention Kit.

Ghost Hunting True Stories of Unexplained Phenomena from The Atlantic Paranormal Society (Book)
Ghost Hunting is an in-depth look at a number of Hawes and Wilson's most memorable investigations, some of which appeared on the show, and many of which did not. Hawes and Wilson travel across the nation visiting residences and public places both famous and mundane to determine whether they are really haunted. Unlike most paranormal investigators, Hawes and Wilson don't charge a fee for their services, and have no vested interest in finding a ghost. They set out to disprove a haunting, under the philosophy that if you try to prove a supernatural phenomena, you can find evidence in almost anything. In this way, they uncover a number of false hauntings, attributable to everything from bad plumbing (their specialty!) to outright hoaxes. But they also discover a number of genuinely haunted places using high tech tools and rigorous scientific methods.
