SMART helmets that guide fighter pilots over enemy terrain are being converted into headsets to help keyhole surgeons navigate their way round the human body. Prototype headsets are already being tested by surgeons at the New England Medical Center (NEMC) in Boston, Massachusetts.
Vista Medical Technologies in Carlsbad, California, aims to incorporate the helmet technology, developed by Kaiser Aerospace, into a visor that lets surgeons operating via an endoscope to watch themselves in 3D. As they operate, surgeons will also be able to call up displays of scans taken before the operation as well as important data, such as levels of gas in the patient's blood.
"At present, we use two-dimensional images to watch things that we are doing in three dimensions," says Stanley Shapshay, one of the surgeons testing the prototypes. Shapshay, professor of ear, nose and throat surgery at the Tufts University School of Medicine in the NEMC, ...

Bo-Bo The Clown
Bo-Bo was so sad that he thought' No one likes me. I wish that i was out of the Circus. I'am thinking about running away. The other clowns tried to talk to Bo-Bo but he would not listen to any of the clowns. They tried to tell him that running away was not the answer. But Bo-Bo still ran away. Most of the time when we won't listen we get into trouble and this is what happened to B-Bo. No i don't with the law but he got into trouble in other ways. Lets look at some of the ways that Bo-Bo got into trouble. His first trouble starts in a large city. There he is in a city where he doesn't know anyone. This is trouble for Bo-Bo right from the beginning. This also makes Bo- Bo very sad. Bo-Bo sees lots of strange looking people. Bo-Bo thinks boy' I'm in trouble now. I wonder what i can do now. All these strange people scare me. Bo-Bo tries to hide from the people. Maybe i can i can run and get away from these people. But this didn't work. Nothing was working out the way that Bo-Bo thought that it should. What was wrong with these people/ There wasn't anything wrong with them' it was Bo-Bo. Self is our biggest problem. We need to get self out of the way. Don't fell sorry for yourself. Bo-Bo was so tired that he didn't know what to do. Then he saw a bench. Bo-Bo sat down on the bench. He had a tear coming down from his eye. A little boy came and sat down beside him. The little boy saw the tear in Bo-Bo's eye what is your name/ My name is Bo-Bo he answered. The little boy told Bo-Bo his name was BILLY. Billy said to Bo-Bo' why do you have a tear in your eye/ Bo-Bo said because nobody likes me. Billy said well i like you. Billy told Bo-Bo how he loved to go to the circus. Billy said that he loved everything about the circus but loved the clowns most of all. Billy told Bo-Bo about the time that he was in the hospital. How he hsd to have his leg taken off and how sad he felt. Billy felt that no one cared about him. He said that he would cry all the time and that he would not listen not even his mother and daddy. He did say that he never would forget the day that the clowns from the circus came to the hospital and how happy that they made him that day. They made him understand that he really was loved and tthat he needed to stop felling sorry for himself. Bo-Bo looked at Billy with tears in his eyes but not for feeling sorry for himself but these were tears of joy. For the first time in long time Bo-Bo was really happy. Yes a little boy had showed him that he was loved. Bo-Bo told Billy that he had acted so silly. He said i'am going back to the circus where i belong where i know i'am needed. So Bo-Bo headed back to the circus. You talk about being happy. Bo-Bo the clown was very happy as he was going back to the circus. Speacking to everyone that he saw. What a change that has come over Bo-Bo. No longer sad as before but happy. As he goes near the gate to the circus all the circus people see Bo-Bo coming. They all rush to the gate. The circus people started singing come on home Bo-Bo come on home. Bo-Bo was truly back at home where he belonged. The staff at the circus loved Bo-Bo. I hope that you enjoyed reading this short story about Bo-Bo the clown. Written By Charles O'Shields.

In Dust We Trust: Partying for Almanzo
So you want to know a little bit more about us? The bottom line is that we are just a bunch of regular guys and gals. We have regular day jobs and responsibilities that keep us busy for the majority of our time. We all ride bikes and we enjoy the occasional adventure.
- From the Almanzo website
Being proper Midwesterners, the crew behind Almanzo is humble to a fault. They're best known for the adventure that is The Almanzo 100: A 100-mile gravel road race that rolls through the rural countryside of southeastern Minnesota, testing the bodies, minds and souls of riders in extreme weather conditions, or what we call "spring" in Minnesota.
Racers endured rain and temperatures in the high 30s in 2011, and driving wind and mid 90s temps last year. Even seasoned racers who start with dreams of winning find themselves pushed to the limit and occasionally beyond it, driven simply to cross the finish line upright.
The list of things that make the Almanzo 100 remarkable is a lengthy one, starting with the entry fee. Specifically, the lack thereof. If you want to race, you're required to submit your name, age and email address via snail mail, and that's it. Oh, and you can also send a picture of the bike you're going to ride, but that's optional. As the site says, "We don't really need to know, we're just curious to see the variety."
From day one, the driving goal of the Almanzo has been to bring people together from a range of backgrounds and levels of cycling experience. In order to accomplish this, Almanzo founder and race director Chris Skogen has been steadfast in his conviction that the race should remain free to all who enter.
"It's more than just money. The word 'free' means rediscovering the freedom of youth — The freedom of just riding to ride," said Skogen. "I never feel so free as I do when I'm on my bike. It may sound crazy to some, but I know that there are many out there that know exactly what I mean. To me, bikes equal freedom, and freedom equals happiness. Free is absolutely critical…on every level."
For the past six years, Skogen has somehow managed not only to keep the race free, but also maintain an unparalleled race experience for participants, even as the field has multiplied in size. Even more remarkable is that this has all been done with no significant outside cash sponsorship.
"It's obvious that Chris pours his heart and soul into this event and wants every single rider to have an amazing day on the bike," said Tom "Hurl" Everson of Cars R Coffins fame. "It doesn't matter if you're a hammerhead at the front, or just out for the personal goal of riding 100 miles. From the race packet design, to the cue sheets, and not least of all, the great staff of volunteers Chris has, it's truly a beautiful day, regardless of weather conditions. And as a rider, that is not lost on me, nor I think, any others."
In order to maintain the high standards he's established for the race while keeping entry free, Skogen is teaming up with a spread of Minneapolis cycling companies, including including Twin Six, Salsa Cycles, Banjo Brothers, Cars R Coffins, Calhoun Cycle and O2 Rainwear to throw a January 5 Fundraising Party. The event will help defray the considerable costs of staging the 2013 edition of the storied gravel race, and for all involved, the top priority is supporting the event without impacting the experience.
"This race is free, and as long as Chris is involved with it, it'll stay that way," said Mark Fischer of Twin Six. "We're just trying to make it sustainable without impacting the experience."
The Almanzo party + fundraiser is going down from 6:00-10:00 p.m. on Saturday night at Intermedia Arts at 2822 Lyndale Avenue South in Minneapolis. The shindig will feature live music, film screenings courtesy of Royal Antler and Salsa Cycles, the unveiling of the new Twin Six-designed Almanzo kits, beer and waffles. $10 Tickets are available at the door, with all proceeds going to the 2013 running of the Almanzo. We'll see you there.
By the way, registration for Almanzo 2013 is now open and runs through January.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – The Chattanooga Lady Mocs softball team announced its 2014 schedule Wednesday morning. The slate features six tournaments – including the 2014 Southern Conference Championships and the annual Frost Classic at Warner Park. The schedule includes three top 25 teams from 2013, seven NCAA Regional participants and two Super Regional opponent.
"It's going to be a fun and challenging schedule," Head Coach Frank Reed said. "We have some big trips planned and we're going to be facing a lot of great teams."
Chattanooga opens its season in Orlando, Fla., at the UCF Knights Invitational Tournament. UTC's first pitch will be against the Fordham Rams, as was last year's, Feb. 7 at 11 a.m. Chattanooga also meets up with South Dakota and Long Island before taking on the hosting Central Florida Knights and the Kansas Jayhawks to wrap up the weekend in the Sunshine State.
The Lady Mocs head out west Valentine's Day weekend as UTC competes in the UNLV Easton Desert Classic in Las Vegas, Nev., for the three-day tourney. Chattanooga squares off against Boise State and BYU Feb. 14 and takes on Nevada-Reno and No. 9 Oregon the following day. The Lady Mocs close out the tournament against Ohio State.
After spending a weekend in the desert, the Lady Mocs return to Chattanooga to host the annual Frost Classic at Warner Park. The 10-team tournament features visits from Ohio, Radford, Toledo, Northwestern Sate and Butler, along with in-state rivals Tennessee Tech, Austin Peay and Middle Tennessee State University.
Chattanooga begins its home-field defense Feb. 21 at 4 p.m. against Butler and Northwestern State. Saturday's first UTC matchup is a 4 p.m. with the Lady Mocs taking on Radford and ending with Toledo at 6:30 p.m. UTC puts a cap on the weekend Sunday at 1:30 p.m. against Campbell.
Gulfport, Miss., hosts the Lady Mocs the following weekend as the team participates in the Mississippi Gulf Coast Softball Classic. Nicholls, Ohio and UTSA are on schedule before Chattanooga squares off against No. 12 Louisiana-Lafayette and No. 17 South Alabama.
Chattanooga concludes its tournament schedule with the USF Under Armour Invitational in Clearwater, Fla., March 7-9. On its second trip of the season to Florida, UTC meets with St. Joseph's and Seaton Hall on the first day and Providence and Villanova the second day. The fifth game of the weekend comes at 9 a.m. against Western Michigan.
The Lady Mocs begin the regular season March 12 in Clarksville, Tenn., with a doubleheader against Austin Peay and open SoCon play March 15 in Boone, N.C., against Appalachian State.
"We looked at last season's schedule and decided we needed to come home that week instead of staying on the road," Reed said. "Last year's spring break trip drained us going into Furman, and we don't want to do that going into Appalachian State just for a few extra non-conference games."
Lipscomb visits Chattanooga for a midweeker March 20 before the Mocs entertain Furman for a three-game series. UNC Greensboro hosts UTC the following weekend and Tennessee Tech travels to the Scenic City April 2 for a doubleheader.
Elon comes to Chattanooga April 5-6 for a three-game series and the Mocs travel to Birmingham, Ala., the following weekend for a series against Samford.
The Lady Mocs take a conference break as Frost Stadium hosts Middle Tennessee for two games April 18-19.
"With the College of Charleston leaving the Southern Conference, that left us with an open weekend," Reed said. "We didn't want to waste the weekend, and it just so happened that MTSU was looking for someone for that weekend."
Georgia Southern hosts UTC April 26-27 before the Lady Mocs wrap up the regular season at home against Western Carolina May 3-4.
The Southern Conference Tournament is scheduled for May 7-10, but a site for the tournament has not been decided. Originally planned to be played in Burlington, N.C., Elon's recent announcement to leave the SoCon made the Phoenix ineligible to host.
The Lady Mocs are set to play one more fall game before beginning their regular practice schedule in preparation for the 2014 season. Frost Stadium hosts the annual Blue & Gold Game Saturday at 11 a.m. with a free picnic – sponsored by the Lady Mocs Softball RBI Club – for all in attendance.
"Blue and Gold weekend is always fun," Reed said. "We always have it the weekend of Homecoming and we always have a great turnout. It's great to incorporate the softball game into the Homecoming festivities, giving fans a chance to come watch some softball and eat before going over to Finley for the football game."
Rosters for the game will be announced Thursday.

WAKE up, smell the coffee and enjoy the aroma for longer.
Research sponsored by Nestlé is homing in on the reactive molecules called radicals that degrade freshly brewed coffee's smell over time.
The company enlisted the help of supercomputers at IBM's Zurich Research Laboratory in Switzerland to calculate how susceptible the fragrant molecules are to attack by radicals, and which radicals are the most aggressive. Hydroxyl radicals, made up of one oxygen atom plus one hydrogen, did the most damage to 24 coffee-smelling compounds (
Controlling the chemistry of the hydroxyl radicals, the team suggests, could preserve the coffee smell.

Malaysia Officials Now Say Missing Airline Flight 370 Was Deliberately Diverted … Missing Plane May Have Flown on for 7 Hours
Malaysia officials are now saying that Malaysia Flight 370 was 'deliberately diverted' and then flown for as long as seven hours toward an unknown destination. Satellites tracked the flight for over 7 hours after the plane lost contact. The planes communications and data systems were intentionally and purposely turned off. However, part of the data system could not be turned off and continued to send pinging to satellites. But for what purpose and who was involved in this hijacking is still unknown. The search continues, now toward the Indian Ocean … Indian aircraft and ships began fanning out a day ago around the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, a distant Indian territory toward the coast of Myanmar, and across more than 13,000 square miles of open sea.
The mystery of missing Malaysia flight 370 continues.
The search for Flight 370 turned into a criminal investigation on Saturday, after Malaysia declared that the plane had been deliberately diverted and then flown for as long as seven hours toward an unknown point far from its scheduled route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
Prime Minister Najib Razak of Malaysia said on Saturday afternoon that he would seek the help of governments across a large swath of Asia in the search for the plane, which has been missing for a week and had 239 people on board. The Malaysian authorities released a map showing that the last satellite signal received from the plane had been sent from a point somewhere along one of two arcs spanning large distances across Asia.
Missing airliner may have flown on for 7 hours.
In the most comprehensive account to date of the plane's fate, Najib drew an ominous picture of what happened aboard Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, saying investigators had determined there was "deliberate action by someone on the plane."
Najib said the investigation had "refocused" to look at the crew and passengers. A Malaysia Airlines representative, speaking to relatives of passengers in Beijing, said the Malaysian government had opened a criminal investigation into the plane's disappearance.
The plane's whereabouts remain unknown one week after it disappeared from civilian radar shortly after takeoff from Kuala Lumpur. But Najib, citing newly analyzed satellite data, said the plane could have last made contact anywhere along one of two corridors: one stretching from northern Thailand toward the Kazakhstan-Turkmenistan border, the other, more southern path stretching from Indonesia to the remote Indian Ocean.

U.S. Federal Prosecutors Charge NSA Whistleblower Edward Snowden with Espionage
As reported at CNN, U.S. prosecutors have charged NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden with espionage and theft of government property. According to the WAPO, Snowden was charged with theft, "unauthorized communication of national defense information" and "willful communication of classified communications intelligence information to an unauthorized person." The United States has asked Hong Kong to detain the former National Security Agency contract analyst on a provisional arrest warrant. From KTLA5, the complaint was filed June 14 in the Eastern District of Virginia, a jurisdiction where Snowden's former employer, Booz Allen Hamilton, is headquartered.
Federal prosecutors have charged Edward Snowden, the man who admitted leaking top-secret details about U.S. surveillance programs, with espionage and theft of government property, according to a criminal complaint unsealed in U.S. District Court in Virginia on Friday.
The United States has asked Hong Kong, where Snowden is believed to be in hiding, to detain the former National Security Agency contract analyst on a provisional arrest warrant, The Washington Post reported, citing unnamed U.S. officials.
The complaint charges Snowden with theft of government property, unauthorized communication of national defense information and willful communication of classified communications intelligence to an unauthorized person. The latter two allegations amount to espionage under the federal Espionage Act.

SHOCKER!!! Nobel Peace Prize Awarded and not to Obama … This Time a Deserving Recipient, Jailed Chinese Dissident Liu Xiaobo
Nobel Peace Prize vs. China … Finally Nobel gets it right!
The Nobel Peace Prize committee finally gets it right this year and awards the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize to jailed Chinese, political and human rights activist Liu Xiaobo. The 2010 Nobel Peace Prize winner presently sits in a Chinese jail and is currently serving an 11-year term on subversion charges. Kudos to the Nobel Peace Prize committee for actually make a controversial choice in picking a winner for all the right reasons. It is about time some one stood up to China and their horrific treatment to people.
Liu Xiaobo, an impassioned literary critic, political essayist and democracy advocate repeatedly jailed by the Chinese government for his writings, won the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize on Friday in recognition of "his long and nonviolent struggle for fundamental human rights in China."
Mr. Liu, 54, perhaps China's best known dissident, is currently serving an 11-year term on subversion charges.
Needless to say, the Chinese government is not happy with the decision. Not in the least. It is about time some one stood up to China and called them for what they really are. In awarding the Peace Prize to Liu Xiaobo, the committee for the first time in a long time got it 100% correct and should be applauded. Although their statement below has some PC platitudes in it to China, it is nice to see some one actually stand up to this Communist, humna rights violators instead of just bowing to them.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry reacted angrily to the news, calling it a "blasphemy" to the Peace Prize and saying it would harm Norwegian-Chinese relations. "Liu Xiaobo is a criminal who has been sentenced by Chinese judicial departments for violating Chinese law," it said in a statement.
In their statement in Olso announcing the prize, the committee noted that China, now the world's second-biggest economy, should be commended for lifting hundreds of millions of people out of poverty and for broadening the scope of political participation. But they chastised the government for ignoring freedoms guaranteed in the Chinese Constitution. [editors note: "lifting hundreds of millions of people out of poverty", really? Have they seen the slave and near slave labor wages in China? I guess they have not hear of FoxxConn.]
"In practice, these freedoms have proved to be distinctly curtailed for China's citizens," the statement said, adding, "China's new status must entail increased responsibility."
Nobel was obviously making up for last years ridiculous choice. Last year, it was bad enough that Obama was nominated, but to win? Sadly, the committee make a mockery of the award last year and gave it to Barack Obama, a man who had literally accomplished nothing. It was such a joke that Obama had won the award last year that even SNL could not resist the satire.
Interestingly enough, Barack Obama has seemed to be left off the Nobel Prize list of nominee for economic this year. A collective America with record debt, record food stamp recipients and an unemployment rate that is supposed to rise once again later this morning wonders why.

Men's Tennis Sweeps Gardner-Webb in Opener
Jan. 14, 2012
RALEIGH, N.C. – For the eighth consecutive year, the NC State men's tennis team won its opening match of the season, sweeping Big South foe Gardner-Webb 7-0 Saturday morning at the Isenhour Tennis Center.
It was the first of two matches on the day, with the No. 59 Pack (1-0) hosting another set of Bulldogs from the Big South, UNC Asheville, on Saturday afternoon.
Head coach Jon Choboy, entering his 10th season with the program, went with a mix of veterans and newcomers in his opening lineup, putting senior Jaime Pulgar at No. 1 singles, sophomore Sean Weber at No. 4 singles and junior Matt Thomson at No. 5. He rounded out his lineup with his heralded freshman class of No. 100 Austin Powell at No. 2, Robbie Mudge at No. 3 and Beck Bond at No. 6.
"We went with the three freshmen in the lineup to give them a little taste of college competition," Choboy said afterwards. "I thought they handled it well."
While Pulgar cruised with a 6-0, 6-0, win over Gardner-Webb's Adam Knutsson-Sundblad, Powell played three sets in his match after losing his second set to Korhan Ates. He came back to win the tie-breaker 10-5.
"I thought it was great for Austin to come back and fight through for a win like he did," Choboy said.
Both Mudge and Bond sailed through their matches.
Thomson also needed three sets to complete the team sweep of the Bulldogs. After losing his opener, 4-6, he came back to win 6-4 and 10-2.
The Wolfpack swept doubles play as well, led by the combo of Pulgar and sophomore Ivan Sanchez Gomez, who notched an 8-2 victory at the No. 2 spot in their first time playing together in doubles competition.
It was Pulgar's first collegiate action since last spring, after winning four international doubles events on the ITF Futures Tour in in Kuwait, India and his native Spain.
Senior Julian Sullivan and Weber also finished quickly, with an 8-3 win at the No. 1 spot, while Mudge and sophomore Will Rollinson won 8-4 at the No. 3 spot. It was the first win for the Sullivan-Weber combo after playing four matches together last year at the No. 2 spot.
The Wolfpack then had a quick turnaround to prepare for its second match of the day, which was slated to begin at 2 p.m. against UNC Asheville at the Isenhour Tennis Center.
Next weekend, the Wolfpack hosts a pair of matches against Penn State at 10 a.m. and East Carolina at 4 p.m. at the Isenhour Tennis Center. Admission is free for all spectators.
No. 59 NC State (1-0) vs. Gardner-Webb (0-1), 7-0
Order of finish: 2, 3, 1.
Order of finish: 1, 3, 4, 2, 6, 5.

Willamette University Musicians to Perform with New Jersey Chorale
The Willamette University Music Department presents its Winter Choral Concert Sunday, March 11, at 3 p.m. in Hudson Hall in the Mary Stuart Rogers Music Center on campus. The free concert will feature Male Ensemble Willamette under the direction of Paul Klemme, Voce Femminile under the direction of Christine Welch Elder, and The College of New Jersey Chorale under the direction of Michael Mendoza.
Male Ensemble Willamette will premiere a composition by Mendoza, "Behold, How Good," based on text from the Bible's Psalm 113; "Shout for Joy," a setting of Psalm 98 composed by Dan Davison; and a seldom-heard Beatles tune, "Yes It Is," arranged by Willamette junior Michael Murray.
Voce Femminile will present "Sing a New Song," an a cappella piece by Mendoza, and "Welcome Love: Four Settings of 17th Century Love Poetry" by Lana Walter.
With this concert, The College of New Jersey Chorale begins its weeklong tour of the Pacific Northwest. They will perform "La Guerre" by Clément Janequin, "Prayers of Steel" by Paul Christiansen and the "Songs of Faith" by Eric Whitacre.
The ensemble, conducted by Mendoza, has toured the Eastern United States, Eastern Canada and England. The American Record Guide wrote that they "make a remarkably full-bodied and resonant sound," while the Trenton Times said the chorale has "breathtaking clarity and warmth."
Mendoza has choral works published in the American Choral Director's Association Monograph and elsewhere.

The Namibian Movie Collection (NMC) which was launched in November 2009, now consists of 50 films made by Namibian filmmakers and foreign films with relevance to the Namibian film landscape.
For the purpose of promotion, filmmakers agreed to grant non-commercial rights of their films to be part of the collection and the FNCC granted space in its Multimedia Library for public access.
For a broader dissemination and exposure, a catalog of the Namibian Movie Collection is published on the website of AfricAvenir, introducing Namibian films and filmmakers to an international audience. The Namibian Movie Collection believe this is necessary and crucial towards achieving the overall objective, the development of the Namibian film industry.
Since its creation, the NMC has been reproduced and donated to the Minister of Information and Communication Technologies and has been purchased by several libraries outside Namibia. The Ministry of Youth National Service Sport and Culture also purchased two complete sets for educational purposes and in order to promote Namibian films within the work of the Ministry's Department for Arts and Culture.
In 2012, the Namibian Movie Collection reached it's target for 2012 and has now a superb number of 50 films in the collection. The last two films added are
Tim Huebschle's 'Looking for Iilonga' (2011) and Bridget Pickering's 'Uno's World' (2002). The last agreement was signed recently and soon the 50 films can be rented out at the FNCC library.

The president of the ruling MPLA party, José Eduardo dos Santos, Friday in Luanda urged the officials at all levels of the organisation to handle matters in an objective way based on the laws and regulations of the party.
The president was speaking at the opening of the 6th ordinary session of the MPLA Central Committee.
Jose Eduardo dos Santos said on the occasion that the performance of their duties, subjective questions and people must not be placed above the general interests.
"The work must be efficient and useful, done with discipline and by those who have the knowledge, ability or necessary qualifications to guarantee the successful execution of the national development plan and the State Budget," he stated.
According to José Eduardo dos Santos, "We need a coherent, realistic and effective policy on cadres that sets the objective criteria of training, placement, remunerations, evaluation of performance and merit rising."

Battlefields contaminated with depleted uranium could pose a long-term threat to the health of local children, warns a report by the Royal Society in London. Since 1991, shells containing about 270 tonnes of depleted uranium have been fired in the Gulf War and the Balkans, mostly by the US. Though the contamination may not be high enough to harm the health of most people, the report highlights the risk to children who play where shells have landed, and whose water and food might become polluted. Soldiers in tanks struck by depleted uranium shells could also suffer kidney damage, it warns. At worst, their kidneys could fail "within a few days".

Eliot Spitzer, champion of all things New York, implored Colgate University graduates on Sunday to stay in the Empire State "for the sake of our collective future."
Prior to his 10-minute speech, delivered outside in a steady rain and 45-degree temperature, Spitzer, attorney general of New York and Democratic candidate for governor, received an honorary doctor of laws degree during the school's 185th Commencement. While Spitzer acknowledged that nearly three-quarters of Colgate's graduates are not native New Yorkers, one could say that he appealed to the New Yorker in each of them.
"Never underestimate the power you hold. Set an example. Work yourself bleary-eyed. Be relentless. Demand more from yourselves, from your government, from your neighbors. Upend the status quo," he said. "Step up, and do it here in New York."
Spitzer, who has made a career of challenging the status quo, also cautioned Colgate students to "be prepared for pushback."
"The Wright Brothers were told that heavier-than-air flight was both impossible and contrary to the will of God. The Beatles were told that the guitar sound is on the way out. IBM engineers who were told that there was no market for home computers."The future doesn't belong to the army of the status quo. You couldn't fly, you couldn't rock, and you couldn't surf the web if it did."
Prior to Spitzer's address, Colgate President Rebecca S. Chopp said in her remarks that the members of the Class of 2006 used their "knowledge, understanding, and insight to make a difference."
She said she felt "a bit of nostalgia" about this year's commencement, as she will "never again have the thrill of watching my first class graduate."
"You and I arrived at Colgate at the same time," she noted. "We have learned together what this place means, we have made a difference to this place, and we have become Colgate together."
She charged the 693 graduates from 44 states and 17 countries to never stop doing good work. "Step forward with confidence," she told them. "Make a difference. Continue thinking and doing."
Chopp awarded honorary degrees to Spitzer; baccalaureate speaker Ada Maria Isasi-Diaz, professor of ethics and theology for Drew University; Alfred J. and Aminy Inati Audi, owners of the L. & J. G. Stickley, Inc. furniture company; and Walter Massey, president of Morehouse College and former director of the National Science Foundation (NSF).

Tips on Building the Confidence to Grow Your Business
rosemary published this at 8:26 am
By Phil Buckley
My first experience with small business owners was in the late 80s. I was an operations manager for Zack' Famous Frozen Yogurt, a franchise chain experiencing massive growth. My role was to set up new stores and help franchisees manage them successfully.
I was inspired by each owner's courage, determination and passion to win. They tackled challenges head-on and typically took a glass half-full approach to managing problems.
However, when presented with opportunities to change or expand their businesses, I noticed that many owners lacked the confidence to get to the next level. They were comfortable with what they knew, and uncomfortable with what they didn't know. Often, they'd forgo opportunities without fully exploring the benefits because their personal uncertainty was stronger than their desire for greater success.
As my career progressed into business training and then change management, I observed that most leaders struggled with change. Their confidence was tested most when their operational experience didn't help them assess and pursue new opportunities or manage challenges. In those circumstances, what had made them successful had little impact on their ability to manage well.
Over time, it became apparent to me that the key to managing change (offering new products, entering new markets, opening a new location, etc.) is confidence.
Here are three ways that small business owners (and any business leader for that matter) can build their confidence when they uncover big opportunities to grow their businesses:
Make a list of the skills you used when making past successful changes
Small business owners will benefit from taking stock of past accomplishments and the skills they used to achieve them. Listing them in writing will help you build a playbook on how to manage new opportunities – steps to take, advice to get, behaviors to demonstrate, etc. Studying your past successes will help you create a path towards your goal and identify the capabilities you need to get there.
Identify who you can call upon for help
Peer support is a key enabler of evolving a business. Wise small business leaders ask for help, especially when opportunities require a departure from their current business model. Learning about how similar situations were managed, both successfully and unsuccessfully, will provide practical guidance on what you need to do, what to watch out for and how to act.
Write a solid plan
Business plans help small business owners stay focused and manage time and resources productively. They provide a means against which to track progress and a working tool to adjust as new information becomes available. A wise person once said, "Create the plan, work the plan, change the plan." A growth opportunity business plan provides a map to confidently navigate.
It can be difficult to manage and grow a small business. With the right skills, knowledge, advice and plan, the small business owner can take the next step on their businesses journey and reach the next level of personal success. Have confidence!

Very nice article, Rosemary.
The tips are spot on especially the one where you need to ask for help. Aside from confidence, I also think they need to cultivate humility.
The feeling of failing after a string of success is really hard to swallow so a lot of business owners would forgo change for their pride. So they end up being stuck.
Nothing wrong with that really if they're honestly content with what they have. But as you've said, if they want to push it a little more, they can apply these tips you gave.

You cannot really blame business owners that are skeptical of moving to the next levels. However, many that see opportunity stronger than their present convictions readily would make the most of any little hint on moving forward.
Well, this post is a confidence builder and I am sure many business owners would readily make the most of the ideas discussed therein.

The Nigerian Communications Commissions, NCC has advised Nigerians to desist from buying pre-registered SIMS as it is destroying the country's database.
The Commission's Head of Enforcement, Mr. Efosa Idehen, who spoke on behalf of the commission recently in Abuja also advised people selling SIM cards to beware of people who come to ask for pre-registered SIMS because they could be victims.
"We are using this medium, again, to advise Nigerians to desist from buying pre-registered SIM cards, and also to let those who are involved in this activity to know that they are destroying the database we are trying to build for the Nigerian government.
The registration of SIM card became critical because of some developmental issues we want to tackle in the future. Having bad data will compromise that database, and we are going to do all things possible to ensure that the Nigeria Communications database of telephone subscribers is the best database in Nigeria."

According to Connecticut state law, delays in receiving the bill, or not receiving it at all, do not relieve residents or businesses from missing payment deadlines or the resulting interest. If you do not receive a bill for property that you owned as of October 1, 2013 by August 1st, please call 860-465-3029.
Generally, questions concerning assessed value, adjustments, exemptions or credits, tax relief programs, and improper motor vehicle tax billings should be directed to the Assessors Office at (860) 465-3026.
This guide is designed to provide answers to questions that are most commonly asked or that you may need to know. As always, further details may be obtained by contacting our staff directly.
The property tax rate is express in mills or thousands of a dollar. A tax rate (mill rate) of 32.41 is equivalent to $32.41 of taxes per every $1,000 of net assessed value.
During the budget process the Town determines how much money it will need to operate for the upcoming year. All forms of income or revenue are subtracted from the total operating budget, leaving the portion to be raised by taxes. This portion is divided by the total net taxable assessments of the Town. The result is the mill rate.
The total assessed value is multiplied by the mill rate. The assessed value is 70% of the value that is determined on the year of the revaluation. The next reval is scheduled for 2011. Example: A vehicle net assessment is 4,500 with a mill rate of 35.10 the total tax on the vehicle is $4,500 X 35.10 =$157.95.
Mail or bring your payment, along with your tax bill, to the Revenue Collector's Office. Your payments may be mailed in the provided envelope or addressed to PO Box 195 Willimantic CT 06226. If your canceled check is not sufficient receipt, please send a self-addressed, stamped envelope along with the entire bill.

They may be irritating and harmful, but lice have their uses. A study of their evolution suggests that the parasitic lice that plague modern birds and mammals began diversifying while dinosaurs ruled the Earth.
That implies their hosts were also diversifying, challenging the popular idea that mammals hid in the shadows during the dinosaur era and only began evolving into new species – or radiating – after the great reptiles died out during the K-T extinction of 65 million years ago.
Because the bird and mammalian fossil record only goes back to just before this extinction, it is tough to determine their family tree during the reign of the dinosaurs.
Vince Smith of London's Natural History Museum assembled a family tree showing how modern lice groups are related. See a picture of a 44 million year old louse, used in Smith's study of the louse family tree.
Many lice only parasitise one species. For instance, lice infesting pocket gophers have notches on their heads that are sized to grip the hair of one species, like a lock-and-key mechanism. If a host evolves into two separate species, the louse follows suit in a process called co-speciation.
Lice radiation
Comparing the mammalian and louse tree, the team found eight co-speciations. Smith had found few louse fossils that he could date, but the matches with the mammalian tree allowed him to calibrate dates on the lice tree. This revealed that lice radiated much earlier than we thought, around 115 million years ago, says Smith. That's 50 million years before dinosaurs went extinct.
Assuming the lice were living on mammals and birds, that fills in some of the void left by the paucity of host fossils from before the K-T boundary, and implies mammals and birds radiated during the age of dinosaurs.
The suggestion is "dramatic", says Mike Benton of the University of Bristol, UK. Others, such as Tanja Stadler of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, have suggested that mammals steadily split into more and more species from 100 million years ago (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, DOI: 10.1073/pnas.1016876108).
There may be another explanation for the new lice tree, though, says Smith – that feathered dinosaurs were subject to the bothersome parasites as well. In which case dinosaur speciation would account for the radiation of lice, not mammals.

If you are a baseball fan of a certain age, you may not have known his name but you certainly knew his voice. Also if you happened to be lucky enough to attend a Brooklyn Cyclones game in Coney Island for any part of the past 11 years, you also knew Warner Fusselle's voice but probably never saw his face.
Fuselle was the sometime PA announcer and always radio voice of the Cyclones (and before that the radio voice of some of the greatest Seton Hall basketball teams ever) but he was best known to baseball fans around the country as the man behind the "TWIB" notes, and after the passing of the legendary Mel Allen, as the voice of "This Week in Baseball." While today that might not seem like a big deal, in the 1970's and 1980's TWIB was where you went for weekly highlights of action from around the AL and NL, a great half hour that usually led into the one national broadcast game each Saturday afternoon. It was produced magnificently by MLB Productions, with Fuselle's smooth tones rolling over highlights of Ozzie Smith doing backflips or Dale Murphy homering into an Atlanta bullpen.
A longtime New Jersey resident, Warner's voice led you around the league. More importantly Fuselle, like the others we have lost, were part of a gentle summer tradition for those in the industry. They would always have a story, a tip or an idea during a day or night at the ballpark or the arena, rarely asking for anything in between. True gentleman of the game. No yelling, no silly comments out of line designed to embarrass, just a genteel manner and a willingness to pass along whatever traditions and information had been passed on to them.
Were they a bit quirky? Yes, thank God. We should all be so quirky. They all loved their jobs and had an ability to make you feel important, whether you were 18 or 60. In some conversations I had with him over the years, Fuselle would express frustration that he hadn't gotten "x or y" broadcast job after TWIB went away, but he always seemed to enjoy the beautiful ballpark in Coney, hard by the Atlantic Ocean, not far from either Nathan's or the Abe Stark skating rink. Eventhough he was a Wake Forest grad raised in the south, he had become a Brooklyn baseball guy, not unlike another gentleman of the South, Red Barber had become for legions of Brooklyn Dodgers fans of a bygone era.
Yes Fuselle and the others were a throwback to a certain era, but more importantly they were really a reminder of what should be important in a business that is all about games.
Most recently I had chatted with Mark Fratto, forever an innovator at St. John's University and now the Red Storm Director of Communications. He had pulled Warner in to do play-by-play for St. John's baseball in a test program, where SJU created broadcast quality video over the Internet for a fraction of the price. The experiment worked, and Fuselle ended up calling games on the CBS College Network this spring, even though Fratto joked he had to remind Warner to watch the action on the monitor and not keep telling the stories that he was so gifted at.
The New York-Penn League will begin in a few days, and there will be a void in the Cyclones press box, one that was occupied since the team's inception by a student of the game, always with a story to tell. No doubt the team, and hopefully all of baseball, will pause sometime this week to remember Warner Fuselle. Then we will get on with the ballgame, just as he would have liked.
A man, like many, who loved the game dearly, and who we can all learn from going forward.

Quality assurance standards (or qa for short) are a set of standards that have been chosen and implemented by businesses all around the world to show commitment to delivering quality products and services to customers

WASTELANDER APRILIA Gets Broken-in, Shot and FEATURED. The Ghost Town Run!
The Wastelander is officially finished! Better yet, I put it through its paces just a couple days after completion with a ride from the San Francisco East Bay to Murphy's, California to Virginia City Nevada and back. Taking the scenic route, it was about 700 miles and the bike performed flawlessly!
Before we left I did an official photo shoot for DirtyHero.com for a full feature on the bike that you can see HERE!
I know everyone's first question is about the tires. I can honestly say that they were awesome. The openly time you can tell you're on knobbiest is when you are rolling to a stop. Otherwise they perform like a street tire. I'd say that I pushed them to about 80-90% of what I push street tires to and they didn't miss a beat or feel squirrely at all.
The only thing that I wasn't ready for was the increased volume of the new exhaust - it's LOUD!
I'll be doing a post on DirtyHero.com about the details of the ride in the next few days, but in the meantime here are a few teaser shots and another link to the FEATURE on The Wastelander!
