After a rainy season lull, South Sudan's warring parties are preparing for major offensives with the Sudan People's Liberation Army-In Opposition (SPLA-IO) this week launching attacks on Bentiu, capital of oil-producing Unity state (see our recent Conflict Alert). Hardliners in the government and the SPLA-IO appear determined to settle the conflict through war.
The U.S. expanded its aerial campaign against Islamic State (IS) militants in late September with strikes in Syria's north and east. The operation, which targets both IS and fighters linked to al-Qaeda's central leadership and the affiliated group Jabhat al-Nusra, risks alienating other rebel groups in Syria and strengthening support for IS.
Increasing Israeli-Palestinian tensions culminated in Israel launching "Operation Protective Edge" in Gaza in early July (see our latest report and commentary). The assault, which started as an aerial campaign and was later extended to include ground operations, reportedly killed more than 1,400 Palestinians throughout the month while 64 Israelis were killed in clashes inside the Gaza Strip and by Hamas rocket fire. Several attempts at reaching a ceasefire agreement failed in July.

The generation and adjustment of a training object allows for the customized training for a user on a software application. Based on a user identification, the training object may be generated to cover targeted topics for learning while avoiding extraneous subject matter. The training object is generated using knowledge transfer modules composed of knowledge transfer objects. The selection of the knowledge transfer objects is determined based on attributes associated with a user identification and factors associated with the identified user. Therefore, when the user accesses and executes a training object associated with the specific user, the training objects provide directed and targeted training.

The present invention relates generally to the area of software training and more specifically to generating training objects capable of being executed within a software application.
Success of a new software application depends on the ability of users to effectively learn and utilize the software. Unfortunately, nearly all computer software today is designed around processing data with little or no consideration of how people need to use it to perform their work tasks. As a result, user training, software documentation and end user support services have flourished as a way to help users figure out how to work around these systems.
Current software training approaches include general classroom training sessions, online tutorials and third party training resources. These systems typically employ a general teaching approach to accommodate the wide variety of users. These training approaches cannot provide individual customized training. Thus the users are often limited in their training for utilizing the new software, reducing productivity.
With continued advancements in software applications, it is important to keep users abreast of new techniques. If users fail to grasp the improvements of existing systems, these shortcomings will only be perpetuated with new systems. This is problematic because after several generations of new technologies, the user may be severely restricted in the ability to use the software, increasing the likelihood that the user will not use the improved software, but will reduce productivity using the comfortable previous generation software system.
Current training techniques also utilize hands-on training. For example, some systems may utilize pop-up windows having visual demonstrations of a particular application resource. Other approaches may include a user prompting a system to run a tutorial when the user first launches a software package or is confused during operation.
As noted above, the approaches are also standard approaches offering no customization for specific users. As the complexity of the underlying software increases, the software training techniques must also be customizable to focus on the target audience of the intended user.
Also, the generation of those software training techniques are generalized. As a software application is generated, the general training materials are also created. Other software training techniques, such as classroom training techniques, are generated to teach a large group of varied users. Current training approaches fail to provide a customized learning approach because individualized training techniques are not generated. Therefore, there exists a need for generating software training objects that are customized to target specific users.
Through a training object, users are provided with directed training techniques consistent with their intended usage of a software application. Focusing on training activities consistent with the users intended use of the software application reduces the time associated with learning the new software. Furthermore, time-sensitive training improves the effectiveness of training by training the user just prior to actual performance of the software functionality.
Customized training objects are generated based on the user identification so that when a user access the software, the customized training objects are seamlessly integrated into the usage and training of the software. The customized training objects provide targeted training based on the activities the user encounters with the software application. For example, if the user is within the billing department, the training objects may focus more specifically on accessing billing information compared with a sales manager who may focus more on using the software for sales projections.
Improving user performance includes using an interface focused on the end user role and tasks. Rather then sending users to wade through extensive training materials or documentation, the system provides concise procedural steps for the task the user has to perform. Moreover, through generating the customized training objects outside of the underlying software application, personalized training is allowed for various users of the same underlying software application.
The processing device 102 may be, but not limited to, a single processor, a plurality of processors, a DSP, a microprocessor, an ASIC, a state machine, or any other implementation capable of processing and executing software. The term processor should not be construed to refer exclusively to hardware capable of executing software and may implicitly include DSP hardware, ROM for storing software, RAM, and any other volatile or non-volatile storage medium. The memory 104 and database 106 may be any suitable memory or storage location operative to store sales information or any other suitable information therein including, but not limited to, a single memory, a plurality of memory locations, shared memory, CD, DVD, ROM, RAM, EEPROM, optical storage, microcode, or any other non-volatile storage capable of storing information.
The KTOs stored within the KTO database 106 are data structures that store data capable of being executed by a processing device. The KTOs also store other information, such as, but not limited to, header information, meta-data describing the contents of the KTO, self-test operations, active linking to remedial learning opportunities and explanation/demonstration of new operations through overviews and simulations. The KTOs provide direct training information that can be shared, reused, and/or repurposed for multi-format delivery of educational products, such as instructor-led training (ILT), e-learning, live/virtual classroom sessions, just-in-time learning. The KTO facilitates training activities for mastering a single, specific learning objective associated with the operation of the underlying software application.
The processing device 102 receives executable instructions 108 from the memory 104. In response thereto, the processing device 102 accesses the KTO database 106 using an access command 110. The access command 110 includes information associated with a user identifier. In one embodiment, the access command 110 may include data representation of the user and in another embodiment, the access command 110 may include other suitable types of user identifiers. For example, if the user identifier indicates a particular user skill level, such as novice, intermediate or advanced, the access command 110 may indicate the retrieval of KTOs associated with that designation. In the other embodiment, the access command may include the user level designation and the database 106 may use this designation to access specific KTOs. In another embodiment, the user identifier may be a user's actual login identifier which may be referenced to determine to the appropriate KTOs. The user identifier may also be a usage-type indicator which is used to determine how the user will be using a software application to determine the appropriate KTOs, or the user identifier may be any other suitable indicia capable of allowing for the retrieval of pertinent KTOs from the database 108.
Upon selecting various KTOs based on the user identifier, the processor 102 may receive an input signal 112 from the database 106, where the input signal 112 includes the KTOs. The KTOs are then compiled to generate the training object, including assembling the KTOs into knowledge transfer modules (KTMs) and generating a learning map from the KTMs.
A learning map is a general data structure within the training object, including KTMs. The learning map also includes other information, such as header information and meta-data describing the contents of the learning map and the KTMs. Based on the structure of the learning map, any suitable number of different KTMs may be contained therein, allowing for a high degree of flexibility in the scope of the data in the learning map. In one embodiment, the KTMs are designated by associated workset headings to define the general training operation.
The KTMs are data structures that store further data structures of the KTOs. The KTMs also store other information, such as header information and meta-data describing the contents of the KTM and pretest applications (as discussed in further detail below). Based on the structure of the KTM, any suitable number of different KTOs may be contained therein, allowing for a high degree of flexibility in the scope of the data in the KTM.
The processing device 102 of
The learning map 132 includes other information 146, such as header information and meta-data. The KTMs 134 and 136 and KTOs 138 and 140 also store other information 148 and 150-152, respectively, such as header information and meta-data. Moreover, the KTAs include overview data and application data 154-156 where the overview data describes the contents of the application and the application data is the executable training operation.
The learning map 132 is associated with an indicated user, such as through a login, a group of users, a user grouped into a skill level rating or any other suitable indicator of a particular user seeking to perform a computing activity capable of being enhanced by the training objects. The associating may be done by inserting header information or meta-data information within the learning map. In another embodiment, external references may be utilized, such as a look-up table to allow for a single learning map to be associated to any number of users. Any other suitable technique as recognized by one having ordinary skill in the art may be utilized to associate the learning map with the user identification.
In one embodiment, the learning map 132 provides performance-based self-tests. In this self-test application, the application does not provide prompts and expects the user to complete an activity without guidance or direct feedback. The self-test keeps scoring information and shows the user's ability at the end of the self-test. When the user has successfully completed the simulation, the status of work on the KTO may be automatically set as completed and the objective may be marked as mastered. As described below, one embodiment includes a master list of training objects relating to a particular user. This master list may be stored in a readily accesible memory location such that the list may be used to determine a proper training object for a user by eliminating extraneous KTOs.
In one embodiment, the KTA can be described with sharable content object reference model (SCORM) metadata to allow for searching the training objects database. In one embodiment, the KTOs and KTMs are also displayable with a SCORM Player. The structure of the KTO is similar to the KTAs so that users are free to decide which KTOs or specific KTAs within the KTOs, the user wants to work on first. In one embodiment, this may be accomplished using a visual interactive interface illustrating a graphical representation of the various KTAs that make up the KTO, wherein a user may actively select one or more of the KTAs for execution.
The next step, step 164, includes sorting the KTOs into a learning map. Similar to the learning map 132 of
The next step, step 166, is associating the training object with the user identification. This step allows for later access by a user for the customized training. For example, if the user is a novice user that operates the underlying software application for monitoring inventory, the KTOs retrieved from the database may provide a higher level of detail to all steps of software training associated with monitoring inventory. This greater level of detail in the learning map would include more KTOs having the KTAs therein. This step of associating the operation would then provide a reference for when the novice user attempts to perform a computing event subject to training, the underlying software application may readily access and retrieve the appropriate customized training object.
Another aspect of the customized training object includes dynamically adjusting the training object based on further information relating to the user identity. For example, performance-based tests may be provided by a simulation program.
The next step, step 182, is executing a preliminary test included with the training object. A preliminary test may be any suitable test simulating the user environment and user activities. For example, a test may include having a user perform several specific tasks in response to prompts. A software application monitors the results of the test, including the user's ability to perform the specific operations.
The next step, step 184, is to calculate the test results based on the preliminary results. Any suitable designation may be used, such as a binary pass or fail designation or further customized breakdown of the results may be performed based on the user proficiency on specific tasks. Thereupon, the next step, step 186, is to upate the training object based on the test results. In one embodiment, the KTMs and/or KTOs of the learning map may be omitted from the training object because the preliminary test reveals them to be extraneous. In other words, if the user passes all or a portion of the preliminary test, the training object may be dynamically adjusted to reflect executing only KTOs as needed. Therefore, in one embodiment, this method is complete.
Moreover, the dynamic adjustment of training objects may be performed based on user interaction. The learning map may be formatted to be visually displayed, such as using associated meta-data. In one embodiment, a viewer may be used to provide a visual display of the KTMs of the learning map, such as illustrated in the display 200 of
Listed in the display 200 are the KTMs that make-up the learning map and include an indication if the KTM is mandatory, the duration of the KTM, whether the KTM has been executed and a possible rating level provided by the user. Illustrated in
Through interaction with a user in accordance with well known computing activities, a user may select one of the KTMs. Thereupon, a second display 220 may be provided, such as illustrated in
As noted above, the KTOs are composed of one or more KTA for providing the knowledge transfer specific to the overall learning goal of the KTM and the learning map. In the display 220, the user may thereupon actively select one of the activities to launch the execution of the KTAs. Once a host processing device executes the KTAs of the KTO, the status of the object of the KTO is updated. Therefore, the knowledge transfer object is also dynamically updated based on the user performing different training activities.
The above system may also be fully operational with respect to the user activation of a KTM. Therefore, instead of launching the screen 222 upon the selection of a KTM from the screen 200, the KTM itself may be executed. This execution may thereupon provide for the software to update the KTO status fields (230 of
Also as discussed above, in one embodiment, a master list may be kept. This master list includes data storage of the indicators representing the executed training operations of the particular user. This master list may also include results associated with preliminary test operations for training objects having the preliminary test. This master list is updated when the user registers the completion of a training activity, such as the completion of a KTM or a KTO. Based on this master list, before a KTM or KTO is executed, this master list may be referenced. If it is determined based on the master list that a particular training activity has already been completed or is extraneous in view of the user's ability, this activity may be disabled. Therefore, a dynamic adjustment of the training object provides for continued customization relative to the user's software usage ability.
Therefore, the generation of training objects allows for the customization of user training. Through general guidelines regarding the user identification, KTOs are assembled to generate the learning map. The usage of a KTO database and the subsequent storage of training objects in a training objects database allows the system to generate the training objects external to the processing device utilizing the new software application. In fact, external services may be provided to generate the training object database based on the associated factors of the user identifications. For example, an information technology department may collectively determine the appropriate training objects for specific users and populate the training object database prior to the users accessing the new software application. The generation of training objects provides the content for customized training to multiple users.
Although the preceding text sets forth a detailed description of various embodiments, it should be understood that the legal scope of the invention is defined by the words of the claims set forth below. The detailed description is to be construed as exemplary only and does not describe every possible embodiment of the invention since describing every possible embodiment would be impractical, if not impossible. Numerous alternative embodiments could be implemented, using either current technology or technology developed after the filing date of this patent, which would still fall within the scope of the claims defining the invention.
It should be understood that there exist implementations of other variations and modifications of the invention and its various aspects, as may be readily apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art, and that the invention is not limited by specific embodiments described herein. For example, the knowledge transfer database may be locally disposed with the processing device for immediate access, the database may be accessible via a networked connection or specific training objects may be predisposed in a local memory location functioning as the knowledge transfer database based on the intended user. It is therefore contemplated to cover any and all modifications, variations or equivalents that fall within the scope of the basic underlying principals disclosed and claimed herein.

A report comparing how different geographies have adopted mobile technologies has found that the U.S. has pulled ahead of Europe when it comes to being the most connected, while users in Japan were still the most advanced, according to comScore, which says it is the first comparative report it has done of its kind.
It found that for the month of June more than 75 percent of consumers in Japan used devices to connect to media (for browsing, accessing applications or downloading content), compared to 43.7 percent in the U.S. and 38.5 percent in Europe.
Europe was the strongest, however, when it came to sending text messages. In the month of June, 81.7 percent of Europeans sent a text, compared to 66.8 percent in the U.S., and only 40.1 percent in Japan. Japanese users ranked highest for email usage at 54 percent, whereas U.S. consumers were most likely to use instant messaging at 17.2 percent.
The U.S. led the pack when it came to social networking and blogging at 21.3 percent; followed by Japan at 17 percent and Europe at 14.7 percent. Other categories including capturing photos (Japanese users were most likely at 63 percent); watching TV/video (Japanese were the most likely at 22 percent); and listening to music (Europeans were most likely at 24.2 percent).

Simply compromise by asking his dog to marry you. The bonds of matrimony will be even stronger than those of pet ownership, and soon the phrase "that filthy mutt is tearing up my flowers" will be replaced with "my lovely spouse is working in the garden." Congratulations!

Day 13 Theme: Gratitude
Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ– Ephesians 5:20
We are here admonished to give thanks for all things. We know we should give thanks for our daily provisions and for the mercy of God in saving us; but sometimes we don't take the time or make the effort to truly thank Him, or to consider all the things for which we should be grateful.
The Apostle Paul frequently expressed his thanks to God for the faith, love and work seen in the churches where he had labored. He acknowledged that these godly fruits were because of God's blessings on them and therefore gave thanks to God. He constantly expressed thankfulness for his godly fellow laborers, but consistently expressed thankfulness to God for even their faithfulness (Romans 1:8; 1 Corinthians 1:4; Philippians 1:3; 1Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Thessalonians 1:3).
Astonishingly, Paul also expressed appreciation for tribulations (Romans 5:3), and even acknowledged that he took pleasure in "infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake" because God's strength is made perfect in weakness (2 Corinthians 12:10). If God's sufficiency is displayed in my insufficiency, Paul said, then I am thankful for each opportunity for His strength to be shown in my weakness.
And above all, the Apostle gave thanks for the Savior. He wrote, "Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift" (2 Corinthians 9:15). Words are inadequate to describe the glory of our Savior Jesus Christ, but we should continually give thanks for Him and His love for us.

Free at last!
Galatians has been called "the Christian's Declaration of Independence," because Paul is at once expressing the power of Christ to deliver us from this evil age (libertinism), and from works-based religion (legalism).
They are all, in the end, expressions of self-salvation, of not relying on the cross by faith to deliver us from every evil — boredom and indifference to Christ, as well as personal pride and self-righteousness.
Join Justin Huffman as we enjoy together the supernatural, unrestrained liberty of being beautifully, eternally free through faith in the sufficiency of Christ's work at the cross!

Nairobi — The trial against Deputy President William Ruto and journalist Joshua arap Sang at the International Criminal Court (ICC) was on Friday adjourned to June 16 over witnesses difficulties.
Trial Chamber V(A) Presiding Judge Chile Eboe-Osuji directed the prosecution to ensure it will have witnesses to take the stand for the one-month session that will run up to July 16.
"The prosecution requested an adjournment due to logistical challenges relating to their ability to bring witnesses to testify for this session. We adjourn to reconvene on June 16 for a session that will last to the 16th of July," Eboe-Osuji ruled.
The judge however expressed concern over the prosecution's challenge in bringing witnesses to testify and directed that all means available should be used.
He particularly mentioned the short session of the trial that resumed on Wednesday only for it to end two days later after the prosecution failed to present witnesses.
The trial was initially supposed to resume on Monday but was moved to Wednesday over the same challenge of lack of witnesses.
According to the Trial Chamber, the prosecution should stretch the possibilities it has in ensuring witnesses are available to testify when the trial resumes.
"The chamber expresses very serious concern and dissatisfaction that we only had days of testimony in this session, a session that was scheduled to last for four weeks hearing witnesses. All available means must be applied by the prosecution to ensure that this is not repeated," Eboe-Osuji warned.
He advised the prosecution to make 'requests for cooperation and even requests for summonses' to ensure it has witnesses to fill up the session between June and July.
Ruto, who was in The Hague in compliance with a requirement for him to be in court during the first five days after a court recess, will be present for two days only when the trial resumes in June.
Earlier, defence teams of Ruto and Sang requested the judges to compel the prosecution to furnish them with the updated list of witnesses and also bring the remaining four witnesses to testify and have the case closed.
Ruto's lawyer Karim Khan complained that the prosecution was inconveniencing parties in the case. READ Witness removal could hinder Ruto's case - ICC judges
"The prosecution should be ordered to get their ducks in a row so that those witnesses come to fill the next sessions. It is not fair to keep investigating for witnesses that have indicated to the prosecution they are not willing to attend. We want this case to close before the summer break," Khan said.
According to the defence counsel, the inconsistencies of witness presentation was delaying the process and unfairly dragging justice for the accused persons.
"It is understandably causing a huge difficulty for the clients (Ruto and Sang). Their names have been tarnished long enough. There is no reason why the prosecution should be given an indulgence to have adjournment as if it's a matter of course. We are saying have your adjournment but at that point get your witnesses together and you close your case once they have testified," he said.
The defence counsels said the delays were costly and time consuming for the parties to travel to The Hague expecting the proceedings to continue only for the prosecution to notify them at the last minute that there are no witnesses to take to the stand as earlier scheduled.
Sang's lawyer argued that there are seven witnesses who had written to the prosecution saying they were unwilling to testify yet the prosecution had not yet communicated to the defence over their withdrawal.
Senior Trial Attorney Anton Steynberg said the prosecution could not give the final list because the witnesses who had indicated that they were unwilling to testify could change their mind with time, as it happened with the 17th witness who was the only one who testified in the session that ended on Friday.
The witness declined to testify on Monday but agreed to give evidence on Wednesday though in private session.
"I do have some difficulty with the last request and that is that we have seen with certain witnesses who had indicated that they were unavailable that they do change their mind, the last witness was one case," Steynberg explained.
The court further allowed the Witness and Victims Unit to release Witness P0025 who the prosecution had withdrawn after it found his evidence to lack credibility.
Khan had requested for the witness to be held at The Hague for questioning but after watching his video recording during the preparation session, he said he was no longer interested in questioning him since his evidence lacked credibility.
The defence teams expressed dismay with the manner in which the prosecution handled the evidence of the witness. They complained that it was unfair to use his evidence to confirm charges and even make extensive referrals to his evidence in the Pre-Trial brief only for it to withdraw him years after using his evidence to argue its case.
The Friday adjournment is not unique in the case against Ruto, Sang and President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Since the trial against Ruto and Sang began on September 10, 2013, the court has had to adjourn the trial a number of times over witness hitches.
Whereas the prosecution has held that witnesses have been intimidated and bribed not to testify before the court, the defence teams have blamed the prosecution for coaching witnesses and promising them financial benefits to motivate them to testify.
Last month, ICC ordered Kenya to compel eight witnesses in the case against Ruto and Sang to testify despite their communication to the court that they were unwilling to give evidence.
However, Kenya's Attorney General Githu Muigai has indicated that Kenya cannot force witnesses to testify before the court.
President Kenyatta's trial was also adjourned to October after the prosecution told the court it did not have evidence to sustain charges against him.

Apples and Oranges? Comparing the Kymco Agility 125 and the Mercedes SL500
I was riding my Kymco Agility 125 yesterday on my way to the health club. The weather was cool and overcast, fairly typical for early November...
As I was cruising down the road, a big smile spread across my face. This happens a lot. Riding a scooter makes me happy. It really does. I probably look like a crazy man to those driving in the other direction, but I smile nevertheless...
Feeling on top of the world, an interesting thought crossed my mind. I started comparing the joy I was experiencing with the pleasure one has driving a high end sports car.
I thought about how my bike stacks up to the beautiful Mercedes SL500.
At first glance, one might think, "How can you compare these two? They are apples and oranges..."
One is a two wheeled scooter made in Taiwan, the other a high end German automobile.
The more I thought about it, the more I realized how the two had more in common then most would guess...
So I broke my comparison into 7 categories: Power, Handling, Fun, Function, Price, Costs to maintain, and finally Wow Factor/Looks...
Kymco Agility 125 vs. Mercedes SL 500
http://www.kymcousa.com/showroom/sco...125_Studio.jpg Vs. http://www.carsession.com/news/image...500-Review.jpg
The Kymco Agility 125 is powered by a 125 cc engine, which generates 9.3 horsepower.
The Mercedes SL500 has a V8, which generates 429 horsepower.
Big win for the Mercedes.
The Kymco is a 2 wheeled bike weighing 232 pounds. It darts around town with ease.
The Mercedes is a beast weighing just under 2 tons (3950 pounds). With its surprisingly soft suspension, the car handles more like a luxury car than a sports car. If you are not careful, you can find yourself in a ditch if you make many aggressive manuevers.
Kymco wins for handling.
Both are lots of fun. Driving with the wind in your hair (OK, I am bald) is a pleasure owners of both can enjoy.
However, I smile like a crazed fool when riding my scooter. I have never had the same feelings when driving anything with four wheels.
Advantage again goes to the Kymco, probably coming as a surprise to many..
Both the scooter and the car are two seaters. Neither is suitable for driving with small children or car seats.
Both also have limited storage. The scooter has a trunk under the seat, while the Mercedes has a small trunk in the rear.
Riding a scooter, the driver is vulnerable to the elements.
The Mercedes, however, comes with both a soft top and a removable hard top. This makes it good for rainy or cold days. It also has air conditioning for driving in the summer heat.
Finally, the Mercedes has fantastic traction control, making it drivable through the winter. I would not drive my scooter in the snow.
The advantage here goes to the car.
The MSRP on the Agility is $1,899.
The Mercedes retails for $105,500.
Enough said.
Cost to operate/maintain
Maintaing a scooter is cheap and easy. I filled up the tank today, and it cost me $3.88.
Basic maintenance like oil changes and headlight replacement can be done quite easily on the Kymco, even with little or no mechanical expertise.
The Mercedes, however, is a different animal, and the costs are exponentially higher. I would never consider doing any work on the Mercedes. Many complex parts and technology. Any repairs should be left to professionals.
Finally, the cost of a new set of tires on the SL 500 is about the price of a new scooter.
A big win for the Agility 125.
Wow factor/Looks
This is a close category.
They both look great in red, and both draw plenty of attention.
One can certainly argue that the car is better looking, but I downgrade the Mercedes slightly for the "What is this guy trying to prove?" look you receive when you are driving a car that costs as much as a small home.
I rate this category a draw.
Bottom line, both of these vehicles are fun to drive, and both get a lot of looks. I have owned both, and honestly, I enjoy my Kymco more than I did the Mercedes.
So if you are looking for a fun, econonomical, environmentally friendly vehicle that is suprisingly functional, buy a scooter.
If you must experience German automobile engineer, I understand. I like German cars too. However, I recommend you still buy that scooter, and with the $100,000 you save, go pick yourself up an Audi A6.
They look great in red too, have a big trunk, and will still leave you with $50,000 to play with.
Naperville Scooter is on Facebook.
Lets see.
Hyundai Accent with 6 spd man trans - around$16,000 and up to 40 MPG
Kawasaki Versys - around $10,000 with accessories
Kawasaki KLX250 - around $6,000
BMW C650 Sport - around $12,000
Kymco movie 150 - around $4,000
And that leaves $2,000 to play with:D
You can keep the Audi.
And I'd keep the bikes I already have:D:D
Hi Klaviator! Thanks for stopping in!
If they are so closely matched, how come Janis Joplin sang "Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz" rather than "Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Kymco Agility"? :)
kymco wasnt invented yet!
I love it! Neat comparison; will cancel my Mercedes order now :D
Thanks for sharing!!!
Hi Hexnut, Starbuck, Klaviator, Forde, and Ferrix. Thanks!
Well, different strokes for different folks? I hope we don't make all our purchase decisions based on Janis Joplins thoughts?
Also, she died at 29 (I think). That is when I owned my Mercedes. Perhaps an age thing...
I wrote this for fun, obviously. However, my point is 100% serious. I have more fun riding a scooter than I did driving that car. Much more fun...
Thanks again!
Great thread. I've owned an Agility 125 for a bit over 4 years now - my total maintenance and repair costs have been zero. That's right, not one penny. Dealership sold it to original owner with a free maintenance package thrown in. My average mpg has been 85 but I have seen 91 mpg more than a few times. Fun for the dollar is extremely high. I've driven the SL500 and it is a tank. The Agility is so much fun, I sold all my motorcycles and bought a Yamaha Tmax to replace them.
This comes up in the world of scooters too. I'm actually fairly immune to the allure of brand name so I often get to argue about the tangible merits of Taiwanese and Japanese scooters vs Vespa... but there is simply no point. Vespa fans, especially those hardcore fans of their vintage models are not interested in tangible benefits of owning a modern scooter. They simply want a Vespa - for its history, image and associations that exist in their mind, not in reality.
Two wheels are simply much more fun.
What more can I say?
Hi Klaviator, Ferrix, and Soboy.
I stand by my review, even though it was for fun, and have owned both...
Klaviator, great quote. I will use that!
The SL500 was a tank. I had a 95, made an aggressive maneuver, and ended up in a ditch. Fortunately, neither me or my passenger, an absolutely stunning brunette (she was out of my league. An advantage to the car!), were hurt. I am not the best driver, and a more skilled one probably would have kept control. I had previously owner a few other German automobiles (Porsche, Audi) and believe I would not have lost control with either of them.
Thanks again!
this subject reminds me of a quote in 'glengarry glen ross' when Balwin yells 'I drove here in an $80,000 car what did you drive in on?' I wish the reply was 'why did you need an $80,000 car to get to the same place I did in the first place?
oh I would add, I dont know how often people approach someone driving an SL500 to ask questions which then starts a conversation but I will say while on my scooter I am always being engaged into a conversation.
I don't like new cars and have no desire to own one, unless it was just a basic transportation appliance, and then it would be a small pickup, like a Chevy Colorado, base model with A/C. I am currently using a $4000 2001 Chevy Malibu for transportation, and it is so boring I can't even consider it a car. I do like cars, especially vintage sports and muscle cars. I think the most fun I've ever had in any car was my old 1971 Porsche 911. It was not pretty, but I had the mechanicals sorted out, and some suspension mods. This car was very basic and very rough. It didn't have anything it didn't need, not even a heater. It's ride was bone jarring, but the engine had a sweet raspy sound. This was a car that took skill to drive right. Get sloppy with it and it would bite you hard. I never crashed it, but had some hairy rides (also known as fun) Todays ares are so refined and computer controlled they are no longer fun, even the high dollar exotics. The manufacturers have done their very best to isolate you from the driving experience, and their goal seems to be complete isolation. All control inputs are controlled by computers, to protect you if you get in over your head. Most of the danger (and the fun) has been engineered out of them. I would love to have that old Porsche back, but now they are expensive classics, most have been totally restored, and are collecting dust in some wealthy persons garage. The only time they get out is to go to car shows. What a shame.
Many of the old bikes were similar. Many had power, and they could also be made to handle very well, by someone who knew what they were doing. I remember the 1983 Kawasaki Eddie Lawson Replica. Now that was a sportbike. Watch some early '80s superbike racing, and it will blow your mind what those guys did with those "old tech" bikes.

Bubba has been all over the map recently including doing the following: make music video #1, music video #2, driving a custom made hovercraft golf cart, enjoying 'Dufnering,' videobombing on live TV, and Tweeting out some gems. Sometimes throughout all of that fun we forget that Bubba is just another human being (with ridiculously good golf skills). During his Masters presser on Tuesday, Bubba spoke about his Green Jacket and what it meant to him, and the response brought tears to his eyes. "I told (an Augusta member) that I was going to go home and wrap Caleb up in it," Bubba said while fighting off tears. "That was the only thing I did (with the green jacket). Out of respect, out of honor for Augusta National and one of the greatest clubs we have, the greatest tournaments, out of respect I didn't do any of my funny antics I'd normally do. The only thing I did was wrap Caleb (Bubba's adopted son) up in it." Great human moment. [Devil Ball] Article found on: Next Impulse Sports

In the top of the sixth inning during last night's Rockies-Brewers game, Milwaukee center fielder Carlos Gomez made an amazing leaping catch at the center field wall to rob Colorado left fielder Carlos Gonzalez of a home run. It was an awesome catch that kept the Brewers' deficit at two runs for the timebeing, but ended up not meaning much in the grand scheme of things as the Rockies went on to win the game 7-3. But when I saw this catch, I was reminded of a familiar catch a decade earlier, on a bit of a grander stage. The 2002 All-Star Game at Miller Park has gone down in history for its result: an unfufilling 7-7 tie, resulting in no MVP named in the very year that the late Ted Williams had the All-Star Game MVP award named after him. Of course, the lasting image from this game wasn't Torii Hunter scaling the wall to rob Barry Bonds of a homer (at the height of his powers) in the first inning, but instead fans mercilessly booing MLB commissioner Bud Selig and chanting "LET THEM PLAY!" The aftermath from Gomez's catch wasn't nearly as vitriolic, but it did end with fans leaving Miller Park disappointed. At least fans across the country weren't angry and bitter this time around, though. [follow]

One of the Finest Known 1796 With Stars Quarter Eagle, MS61, Ex: Steigerwalt, Clapp, Eliasberg1796 $2 1/2 Stars MS61 PCGS. Breen-6114, Bass-3003, R.5. While the No Stars design of 1796 is the higher visibility coin with its one-year type design, the With Stars variant is actually considerably rarer. Less than half as many With Stars were struck as No Stars (432 vs. 963 pieces), and since the With Stars has the same design type as the successive years through 1807, it is an overlooked issue among early quarter eagles. The estimates of the number of survivors range from as few as 20 to 25 coins (Akers) to a high of 30 (Breen). The actual number of survivors is probably in the range of 50 to 60 coins. Virtually all are in the VF-XF grade range, most show central striking weakness, and adjustment marks are prevalent. This piece shows soft detailing in the center of each side and there are a few light adjustment marks located in the center of the reverse. Struck from a slightly rough planchet, there are a few tiny planchet flecks out of each side and pronounced die file marks are seen above and through the tops of S(TATE)S. Rich reddish-orange patina covers each side of this attractive coin with bright, semi-prooflike fields apparent (especially so on the reverse). Population: 1 in 61, 1 finer (11/04).

Cox, IJ; Linnartz, JPMG; (1998) Some general methods for tampering with watermarks. IEEE JOURNAL ON SELECTED AREAS IN COMMUNICATIONS , 16 (4) 587 - 593.
Full text not available from this repository.
Watermarks allow embedded signals to be extracted from audio and video content for a variety of purposes. One application is for copyright control, where it is envisaged that digital video recorders will not permit the recording of content that is watermarked as "never copy." In such a scenario, it is important that the watermark survive both normal signal transformations and attempts to remove the watermark so that an illegal copy can be made. In this paper, we discuss to what extent a watermark can be resistant to tampering and describe a variety of possible attacks.

Re: M'ress appreciation thread
Doug Jones...I had to research that name. Do you mean the actor who played Abe Sapien in the "HellBoy" movies?Are you wanting Jones for his nearly emaciated physique? (that sounds wrong.) For a major motion picture, it wouldn't be that critical since a six limbed character like Arex would be most likely computer animated for the bulk of his sequences. If, on the other hand, you're wanting Jones for his cultured voice, yes, I admit I rather enjoy his calming tones. But to hire him to do a severely nasal inflection kinda' defeats the reason for getting him in the first place.
Who should voice M'Ress? I'll be honest with you; I never cared for Majel's performance. It just seemed so "forced". Besides, since she's passed away, we'd have no choice but to pursue other voice artists. But whom? That's a toughy. Hmm...if it weren't for the sad fact she too has died, I'd sya, oh, maybe Eartha Kitt. She had a trilling, almost purring like quality to her voice, but unlike Majel's, it was her actual conversational voice, so it sounded more "natural".
I'm sure several on these board would opt for someone else, so it'll be interesting whom they'll suggest.

Gartrell Johnson
5-11/218 Colorado State
4.67 Senior
Pros: Runs hard with nice power and toughness. Likes contact and doesn't shy away from it. A good straight-line runner with decent burst for his size. Has decent hands and shows some ability to adjust to the ball in the air.
Cons: Doesn't cut or change direction well. Lacks home run speed and won't outrun anybody at the NFL level. Has only adequate vision. Not a natural receiver. Needs to improve in pass protection.
Overview: He was slated to probably be moved to fullback until he had a strong finish to the season, rushing for 860 yards in his final 6 games, including 285 in a great bowl performance vs. Fresno State. Finished senior year with 1,476 yards and 12 touchdowns. But still is going to be limited as a tailback at the next level.
NFL Forecast: Because of his lack of speed and burst, he's going to be hard-pressed to make an impact in the NFL. He'll need big holes and probably have to play behind a good zone blocking line. If Denver was still around, he'd fit well there. He lost some weight in the off-season in order to get quicker, but still has marginal NFL speed. He projects best as a short-yardage back in the NFL, and I would recommend him bulking back up much closer to 230 or more pounds. Could still get some looks at fullback, but raw there considering he did little blocking in school. He'd be a long-term project that would have to impact special teams early in order to stick on an NFL roster. He doesn't have a great NFL future, but is the type of player that could dominate a lower level of competition because of his power and toughness.
ATL Forecast: Johnson would be hard-pressed to make it in Atlanta. He's a more natural runner than Snelling, but is not better at this point. And unless he could make an impact on special teams, wouldn't be able to make the roster at either running back or fullback.
Value: He's not worth drafting because of his tweener status, but definitely worth an invite to camp.

Heritage Auctions
Preliminary Lot Viewing
At one time the 1929 double eagle was considered a major rarity in the Saint-Gaudens series. With the importation of examples from overseas in recent decades, this issue is available to a wider audience. A single group of about 40 coins was discovered in England in 1984. In A Guide Book of Double Eagle Gold Coins, Dave Bowers writes: "For the first time in modern numismatic history the 1929 is readily available and somewhat affordable (but hardly inexpensive). Now, many collections will end with the 1929 date instead of 1928 as formerly." NGC and PCGS have certified nearly 300 submissions in all grades, but only 32 of those coins grade MS65 or finer. In the 16 years that we have tracked our auctions, we have offered 93 examples of the 1929 twenty, including six offerings of MS66 coins and 18 in MS65, including duplicate appearances of a smaller number of coins.
This bold specimen has a sharp strike with frosty yellow and orange-gold luster. A few minuscule abrasions are evident on each side although they are of no consequence. A lovely piece, this Gem carries exceptional aesthetic appeal. Population: 22 in 65, 5 finer (9/09).

Originally written on Blue Seat Blogs | Last updated 12/1/11
The news broke the other day, via Wojtek Wolski's twitter, that he is back on the ice and skating following sports hernia surgery. The Rangers have not necessarily missed Wolski, going 9-2-0 in the month of November, but his return can be viewed as a good sign. Wolski certainly has skill, but the question is whether he fits into the current makeup of the roster. While the initial reaction is to say that he should still sit, let's keep in mind that he may not return for a few weeks, and a lot can happen. The Rangers can falter, and need a jolt in the lineup. Also, any of the callups can falter and be sent back down to the AHL. There can also be a few injuries. While this may not be an issue at the moment, it has the potential to become an issue. Why is Wolski returning an 'issue'? Simply put, his $3.8 million cap hit would no longer be on LTIR, meaning the Rangers need to get back under the cap. Due to some current internet restrictions, I cannot get exact numbers from Capgeek, but l...

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 7/2/12
The San Diego Padres are hoping the momentum they've gained on their current road trip will help them end a long history of struggles in Arizona and the Diamondbacks' recent dominance at home. The Diamondbacks return from a rough trip looking to continue their success at Chase Field while trying to prevent the Padres from a third straight win Monday night. After salvaging a four-game split in Houston, San Diego (30-50) took two of three at Colorado over the weekend to improve to 4-3 on a 10-game trip. The Padres, who were 10-23 on the road before this trek, now head to Arizona, where the Diamondbacks (39-39) have won four in a row and 12 of 14. Though San Diego snapped a seven-game skid at Arizona with a 7-6 win Sept. 11, the Diamondbacks' .686 home winning percentage against the Padres - an 83-38 record all-time - is their best versus any NL opponent. The Padres also dropped four of six at home to begin the 2012 season series. Two of those defeats came in games started by Ariz...
