Bomag updates BW138AD-5 tandem roller with Economizer stiffness reader at World of Asphalt 2013
Posted By Amanda Bayhi On March 20, 2013 @ 6:21 pm In New Road Products,News & Analysis,Products | No Comments
At its World of Asphalt booth in San Antonio, Bomag featured its update to the BW138AD tandem roller, which now has the Bomag's Economizer technology as an option.
The Economizer provides operators with a real-time reading of soil stiffness during the compaction process. Watch the video below to learn more about the Economizer and what it means for Bomag's BW138AD-5 tandem roller.
The Economizer uses an acceleration sensor to measure stiffness of the material across the compacted material, then displays the data using a series of ten yellow LED lights on the roller's instrument panel. The lights stop increasing when maximum compaction has been achieved and suddenly drop to indicate a weak spot in the material.
The Economizer also uses a red LED light on the display to warn the operator of potential over-compaction.
The BW138AD-5 tandem roller, powered by a Tier 4i 45.3-horsepower, water-cooled Kubota diesel engine, features:
The BW138AD-5 also features a foldable ROPS with seat belt, back-up alarm, emergency stop button, and front and rear working lights.

The Flame virus, discovered in Iran in May, was able to completely wipe data from infected PCs, according to Symantec security researcher Vikram Thakur.
The company has found a component that enables operators to delete files from computers, disabling applications or removing sensitive files, Thakur told Reuters. "These guys have the capability to delete everything on the computer," he said. "This is not something that is theoretical."
Prior to Thakur's revelation, it was believed that Flame was designed only to eavesdrop on computer activity by recording conversations and stealing data.
The Flame virus is beginning to yield its secrets as security researchers take it apart and investigate its properties. Earlier in the month, Eugene Kaspersky, CEO of anti-virus software supplier Kaspersky Labs, said that his company's researchers had found code in Flame that was nearly identical to that found in Stuxnet.
Recent press reports based on leaks from the US government have suggested that both Stuxnet and Flame were the work of intelligence agencies, which, in the mid-2000s, were authorised by President George W Bush to use cyber warfare to disrupt Iran's growing nuclear programme.
However, some specialists have speculated that the creators of both items of malware also needed to have access to Windows source code in order to be able to craft their attacks.
Flame was able to spread almost undetected as it took advantage of a known weakness in the Windows Update function to download and install itself on target computers without users' knowledge. That also helped put it under the radar of anti-virus and other security software.
Furthermore, the flaw in Windows Update that Flame exploited – a weakness in the MD5 cryptographic algorithm used to sign and authenticate certificates – is widely used across IT to sign servers, code and even for virtual private network (VPN) access.
Indeed, encryption and certificate management software and services supplier Venafi has claimed that MD5 is used in almost all major organisations. Venafi CEO Jeff Hudson has warned that it needs to be completely removed in order to neutralise the threat posed by hackers taking advantage of the flaw.
With Flame demonstrating how the flaws in MD5 can be exploited, hackers will already be crafting new attacks to take advantage of its weaknesses, Hudson has warned.

What are the greatest thing since sliced bread, except sweeter and a lot more fun to give than a loaf of whole wheat?
Smiley Cookies of course!
Everyone loves Cookies! When I was asked to if I would do a Smiley Cookie review I knew I had to at least give these large 4 inch diameter gourmet sugar cookies a taste!(The big cookies are 4" in diameter and the mini cookies are 2.5" in diameter.)
Well, my cookies came this past week and let me tell you, they were gone within a few days! They have named these cookies right, "Smiley Cookies", just to look at the cookies makes me smile!
The cookies arrived in a vacuum sealed container that keeps them fresh and tasty. As long as they remain in a sealed container, Smiley Cookies remain fresh for about a week. We found that the cookies will lose freshness more quickly if left out. However, 20-30 seconds in the microwave quickly "refreshed" any hardened cookie! These cookies can also be wrapped and stored in the freezer. As for flavor, the Smiley Cookies that I received were a wonderful vanilla flavored sugar cookie that melted in the mouth, and left a smile on every one of our faces! Smiley Cookies come in all sorts of shapes, each with it's own smiley face. You can either order a prechosen color or create your own choice of a variety of designs with your choice of icing colors for the base frosting and the actual smile.
Smiley cookies are made in a peanut-free and tree-nut free facility. No peanuts, tree nuts, or nuts of any kind ever enter the bakery. The makers also ensure that all ingredients are not produced in facilities that process nuts. Our cookies do contain Wheat, Egg, Soy, and Dairy ingredients.

Critical analysis of a rights-based approach to children 'at risk of offending' in Northern Ireland
Children in conflict with the law collectively are one of the most marginalised groups in society, often perceived as 'criminals' or 'offenders' rather than 'children' who have frequently experienced very difficult circumstances. Focusing on 8-12 year olds identified as 'at risk of offending', this project will explore how representations, dominant discourses, and interventions concerning these children reflect the reality of their lives - what is important to them, their needs and aspirations; the issues they face; what they think would make a positive difference in their lives; what 'crime' and 'anti-social behaviour' mean to them; their interpretation of adult responses to their behaviour; their understanding about, and experience of, 'rights'. Based on critical analysis of structural and institutionalised inequalities, the project will: consider the promotion and protection of international standards in legislation, policy, and practice; examine the barriers preventing fulfilment of children's rights; and assess the potential of a rights-based agenda in challenging structural inequalities.

Steinberg Exchanges Invincibility for Hope
Conquest - Summer 2009
By Mary Jane Schier
The power of hope was instilled in Amir Steinberg, M.D., from the day he arrived at M. D. Anderson shortly before Thanksgiving 1992.
Then 17 and a senior at Bellaire (Texas) High School, Steinberg had thought he was "invincible" until diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease, a type of lymphoma that attacks the body's lymphatic system. That attitude changed during months of chemotherapy and radiation.
Throughout his treatments, Steinberg adopted the advice of Fredrick Hagemeister, M.D., now professor in the Department of Lymphoma and Myeloma, who coordinated his care and continues to follow his progress.
"He told me to always have hope, never feel sorry for myself, to continue pursuing my dreams and not let cancer get in the way of living normally," recalls Steinberg, who now dispenses similar counsel to his patients.
Today, Steinberg is a hematologist/oncologist in the Blood and Marrow Transplant Program and the Outpatient Cancer Center of the Samuel Oschin Comprehensive Cancer Institute at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. He and his wife, Courtney, were "thrilled" when daughter Sophie was born last October.
"Thanks to Dr. Hagemeister, I think I learned how to be a good doctor. I spend a lot of time with my patients and really listen to them," Steinberg says. "Because I've been there, I understand how they feel. None of us knows what will happen tomorrow, so I tell each one to enjoy every day to the fullest."
He also is grateful for the Children's Art Project scholarships that helped him graduate magna cum laude from The University of Texas at Austin and while earning his medical degree at Texas Tech University School of Medicine. His interest in the field of transplantation was solidified while working in a laboratory one summer with Steven Kornblau, M.D., associate professor in the Department of Stem Cell Transplantation and Cellular Therapy.
During a fellowship in hematology/oncology at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City, Steinberg took time to describe what hope has meant to him in a poem that was published by Oncology Times in 2005.
"Everyone deserves hope," he says.

Safety in numbers
The largest network of major executives in the world, The
Corporate Executive Board draws on its collective brainpower so
members "avoid reinventing the wheel" when solving similar problems
other CEB members may have already overcome. CEB is a
membership-based organization that provides best practices
research, decision support tools, meetings and executive education
seminars (in person and online) focusing on corporate strategy,
operations and general management issues. For a fixed annual
membership fee, corporate, government and nonprofit members
subscribe to one or more of the company's programs on areas
covering corporate finance, financial services, human resources,
information technology, innovation and operations, legal issues and
corporate governance, sales and marketing, and strategy and
Founded in 1979 as the Research Council of Washington, then
renamed as The Advisory Board Company in 1983, CEB's network now
boasts more than 5,100 participating members and includes 85
percent of the Fortune 500, more than 60 percent of the world's
top-300 financial institutions and members in more than 50
countries; around a third of the firm's revenue comes from
international members. Generally, CEB's clients break down
into two groups: large companies with annual revenue of at least
$750 million and midmarket enterprises with annual revenue of
between $50 million and $750 million, though the membership list
also includes non-profit organizations.
Spreading the wealth
CEB's membership-based model means two things: For CEB, it can
glean information from its wide-ranging membership to produce
up-to-date best practice and performance data on and for its
members. For CEB members, meanwhile, the shared cost research
model means they get similar information to what they would receive
from premier strategy consulting firms, but at a fraction of the
cost. The average annual membership fee is around $30,000,
although this varies depending on the size of the company.
For those bucks, CEB promises its members a whole lot of bang,
offering "four unique assets" that include an extensive global
network of peer executives, "unrivalled" best practices and data,
unlimited service from CEB's 1700-plus employees throughout the
year, and unbiased advice.
Companies can choose from CEB's seven practice areas, which
include more than 40 different membership programs. In the
course of a year, CEB staff creates and distribute hundreds of new
strategic research studies, hold hundreds of membership meetings
and provide several thousand on-site executive education
sessions. Subscriptions also cover CEB-produced studies and
briefs, "decision-support tools," access to CEB's newly developed
web-based research and networking tools, support from its account
management teams and executive education seminars. Members
cannot normally access information in programs to which they don't
belong, but the firm tries to accommodate them if the request is

Sven Beiker, Jan Becker, and I organized a workshop around the legal and policy hurdles to autonomous driving. The workshop was hosted by the Center for Automotive Research at Stanford (CARS). It featured discussions of liability, privacy, human-car interfaces, and the role of government. The workshop resulted in a working group that includes industry and academia. You can download the one-pager here (PDF). Excerpt below.
While fully autonomous driving (all driving tasks performed by the vehicle without driver interaction) presents the long-term research vision, "advanced driver assistance systems" (e.g. adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assistance) already exist today. Next generation systems with higher degree of autonomy are currently being developed and will be released soon (e.g. automated parking, automated highway driving, etc.).
The workshop attendees from automotive industry, consumer organizations, law firms, government agencies, and academia assessed the situation of autonomous driving in both engineering and law. A consensus emerged that autonomous driving has tremendous potential to improve safety, efficiency, and mobility. However, policies are needed to establish a legal framework for the use of autonomous vehicles in traffic, and there is a clear need to engage in consumer and policy-maker education about the potential benefits of autonomous vehicles. Therefore, a process to develop public policies in conjunction with the evolving technologies is needed in the short term.

As I sat on my couch watching the first half of Sunday's Boston Celtics and Miami Heat Eastern Conference Finals game four, I was following my usual tradition of watching a big game with my Twitter timeline open.
Twitter was all… well, a twitter with oohs and aahs over Rajon Rondo and his pinpoint passing in the first half. Honestly, I was right with the majority when it came to spending the first half appreciating great play from the often maligned Celtics point guard. I was, that is, until it happened.
It always happens on Twitter. Someone I follow always asks a question that makes me want to argue with them. In this case, @GreyGoose218 asked "You have one point guard to rebuild a team around, would you pick Rajon Rondo or Kyrie Irving? Take Bias out of it. Who do you pick?" Goose was talking to a couple of other Cleveland fans, and since my time line is pretty much all either Cleveland stuff or sports, I tend to see a lot of Cleveland sports questions.
I immediately thought to myself that of course I want Kyrie over Rondo! I started to craft a sarcastic tweet to respond, and got about half way through a Rondo looks like a dinosaur joke before I looked up and saw him knife through the lane and sink a floater over LeBron James. I erased my tweet and set my smartphone down. This was going to need some real thought.
Rajon Rondo is definitely the catalyst of an incredible team. The way that he sees the floor and can consistently get the ball to his playmakers in exactly the right spot puts him in the upper tier of point guards. When he's directing his teammates and setting up plays, he's knifing to the rim and putting defenders on notice that he's not just a passer. Celtics coach Doc Rivers trusts Rondo as much as I've seen any coach trust any player.
Rajon Rondo is a premier NBA point guard, of that there is no doubt, but there's something missing.
Rajon Rondo cannot effectively shoot a jump shot. He just can't. Sure, he's had great games that include long range shooting, but even the staunchest Rondo supporters can't deny that those games are rarities.
Rondo excels partly because he's an incredible talent, but also because he's able to find Paul Pierce and Ray Allen on the wings. Having quality jump shooters at his disposal doesn't make Rondo any less of a player – he's certainly still a top of the league point guard – but 19 year old Kyrie Irving had a year that was just as impressive on a much worse team.
But the phrase just as impressive doesn't really do the rookie justice. A side by side statistical comparison shows that Irving, in six less minutes per game, outscored Rondo 18.5 ppg to 11.9 ppg. Irving's field goal percentage was two points higher than Rondo's, and his three point percentage is a whopping 16 points higher.
This isn't a hate on Rondo moment at all. Rondo out rebounded Irving by one board per game and dished out six more assists than the rookie, too. The argument could be made that the extra assists are proof of Rondo's superior balance and dominance as a point guard, but that argument would be wrong. Well, could be wrong. The thing is, we don't really know about Irving's balance as a point guard yet.
While Rondo was off filling up stat sheets with three future hall of famers sharing the roster (assuming Paul Pierce will be a hall of famer actually made me vomit a little bit), Irving was on a Cavaliers roster whose next best player was a borderline insane Brazilian flopper who spent 2/3 of the season injured. Because of the roster limitations, Irving needed to attempt five more shots per game just to keep his team competitive.
There are some cases when taking all those extra shots might seem like so much ball hogging, but after spending the entire winter and spring elbow deep in Eastern Conference basketball, I can tell you that Irving wasn't a ball hog. He was simply the best player on a struggling team.
I'm still pretty even between the two at this point. Rondo runs the hell out of a great team, but Irving has magician handles and can stretch the floor with his jumper. They're both athletic and contribute more than just offensively. At this point, Rondo might even have a slight edge considering his basketball IQ and defensive presence. But, if I'm building a team around a point guard, I have to be very aware of how that point guard is going to perform in the situations that I need him the most.
As defined by 82games.com, the situations that I need my point guard to perform the most is in the fourth quarter or overtime, less than five minutes left, and neither team ahead by more than five points. Yep, I'm talking about the vaunted clutch stats.
Here's the breakdown of production per 48 minutes of clutch time:
Rondo and Irving have played roughly the same amount of clutch minutes this season, but the offensive disparity is staggering. Not only did Irving outscore Rondo by 45 points, but Rondo's lack of scoring flexibility practically jumps off of the computer screen by way of his field goal and three point shooting percentage. Compare that to Irving's trend of actually getting better in the clutch and I'm not sure how anyone can disagree that Kyrie has the instincts to get buckets when the team needs them the most.
Sure, Rondo out assisted the youngster during crunch time, just as he did in his full per game stats, but assuming that Irving can't pass because he played on a team that relied on him to score can't be taken seriously. Any 19 year old that can score 56 points per 48 minutes of clutch time is the kind of ice in his veins finisher that I want on my team.
Rajon Rondo is a fantastic basketball player – and his dominance of Miami Heat point Guard Mario Chalmers could be the deciding factor in this year's Eastern Conference Finals – but I need a player that can knock down open shots in crunch time.
I'm picking Kyrie Irving to build my team around. Not because of Cleveland bias, but based on youth, scoring ability, and the clutch gene. (And also because Rondo looks like a velociraptor)

Today, China's internet giant Tencent (HKG:0700) and Indonesian company MNC Media announced that they have made a joint-venture company called MNC Tencent to tap further into Indonesia's online market. During a press conference this morning in Jakarta, both companies also shared a few updates and statistics regarding messaging app WeChat in Indonesia.
Usually, Tencent explained, it would either put in investment or directly open its own operational company for any expansion into other countries, but this time the Chinese web company chose to build its very first joint-venture company in Indonesia. Tencent president Martin Lau said that this is because the company needs to use a more hands-on, localized approach to reach customers here. Furthermore, he said that Tencent will bring more of its products and services through MNC Tencent.
Last year, Tencent also began pushing its location-based chat app Qute in Indonesia, so this isn't the first time that the Chinese firm has opted to focus on young and mobile-loving Indonesian netizens.
MNC Media CEO Hary Tanoesoedibjo is known to want to build a local search engine to compete with the likes of Google and Yahoo. Would this mean that he is going to build it together with Tencent? While Hary said that he wants to bring a search engine product from this joint venture, Martin more cautiously said that the plan is still in talks and that they are open to such a possibility. Hary also mentioned that he wants to bring another product in the form of web video.
Indonesians on WeChat
Regarding WeChat's progress in Indonesia, Tencent disclosed that WeChat's daily user growth in Indonesia increased from 30,000 to 90,000 (yes, that's new users per day) thanks to WeChat's TV ad campaign launched five days ago. That means – using our math for this bit – that the messaging app has gained as many as 450,000 users in Indonesia in just the last week. The total user-base in the country has not been revealed. Besides the TV ad campaign, the company has approached local bloggers and influencers through events and competitions to help the spread of WeChat in the country.
When asked about WeChat's competition in Indonesia – such as Line and KakaoTalk – Martin answered that because Tencent invested in Korean-based KakaoTalk last year (for a reported 14 percent stake), it's a win-win solution for Tencent if one of those other apps prevails. But not if Line wins this local battle.
It is interesting to see that KakaoTalk also agrees with WeChat's strategy of offering localized touches to tap into the Indonesian market. Rather than opening an office, KakaoTalk's Indonesian stickers is a more simple approach to win over local users.
Note that WeChat is now also a partner with Indonesian media conglomerate Global Mediacom as well as building this joint-venture with subsidiary company MNC Media today. WeChat definitely has a huge advantage when it comes to capital and national exposure. Line, on the other hand, was the first mover to Indonesia and already launched its TV ad campaign earlier this month.
With the messaging app battle looking really fierce now, the collective response of all the Indonesian telcos, which will be dubbed 'Messaging Indonesia', better be really good.

Yes and no, a hdd failed today and i'm currently recovering all the data from that drive (it seems to work fine for a while, then it just drops out)
Everything should be back to normal tomorrow
qwired is a little on the temperamental side but it works most of the time
Very strange, it is working fine for me
try this link: ftp://files:email@example.com:8000/Terminus/Terminus CD1.iso.sit
or go to http://max1zzz.co.uk:8000 and log in with files/files and browse through manually
or you could log in on the wired server and it is in the folder in root called 1TB (this folder is not viewable in the FTP or HTTP servers)
I'll have a look and see what i can find
Oh, and as for the person under this, for whatever reason i never uploaded it. I rember downloading and processing it, but it never got uploaded. Will upload it soon

Thursday Midday Links: Writing Is a Cold Door
Zane is interviewed by Mediabistro about her self publishing origins. I haven't listened to it but hers is a success story.
For all those writers out there, an iPad fan figured out how to hook up his alphasmart to the iPad.
Korea is testing out a vending machine lending library and in Germany they have reconfigured a cigarette dispenser into a vending machine for books.
Apple is selling more than 200,000 iPads a week. That's a stunner but I also think it points to consumer desire to have a good priced, fast machine that allows them to surf the 'net, look at pictures, watch videos and send/receive emails.
Barnes and Noble is offering a free download a week if you come into the store and show them a device with the BN Reader on it. This would include the Nook, iPhone/iTouch, laptop, Blackberry. In exchange you will get a voucher that you can use to download the free book. Anything interesting you ask? Titles per Teleread:
The No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith. Next week's title is Storm Front, the first Dresden Files novel, by Jim Butcher. Other titles will include The Long Tail by Chris Anderson, Home Safe by Elizabeth Berg, and One Shot by Lee Childs. All e-book vouchers can be redeemed through July 1.
Teleread points to an article by Guy Gavriel Kay about the downside of robust communities attached to an author. For instance, Gavriel Kay points out, the false intimacy created by the online community breeds reader entitlement. Readers become demanding and angry when authors like George RR Martin are not producing.
A commenter on Mobileread pointed to a press release from Overdrive. Overdrive is developing a reader app for all mobile platforms. Overdrive powers libraries and retailers so I wonder if this app will compete in anyway with retailers or just be an added benefit. For fans of Harlequin, I believe it will mean that you will be able to read Harlequin books on your mobile apps because Overdrive powers the Harlequin ebook store.
Also on Mobileread, a commenter who works at Target says that all Targets will be selling the Kindle as of June 6.
Kidlit blog says that only 3-5% of authors make a living off of writing alone. In her books, Year of the Dog and Year of the Rat, Grace Lin refers to the avocation of author/illustrator as a "cold door." I love that phrase.

If It Ain't Broke, Fix It
As an Airbus cruises toward Singapore, new diagnostic tools spot trouble before it happens.
the airbus 340 is an hour or so into its 11-hour flight from Hong Kong to Auckland, New Zealand. Twelve kilometers below, the islands of the Philippine archipelago are sliding by off to starboard. That's when, deep inside one of the plane's four General Electric-made engines, small bits of insulating skin begin to peel off and fly out the back. Their departure breaches the surface and opens tiny passageways into the compartment where the jet fuel burns. As cold outdoor air seeps in, the compartment's temperature starts to drop.In the cockpit, the pilots are aware of none of this-the deviations are still too small to show on their instruments. But the event has not gone unnoted. For starters, a thermocouple in the engine compartment has recorded the slightly depressed temperature. Then, three hours into the flight, the onboard computer that has been collecting readings from the engines uploads the data to a satellite, which relays the information at light speed to a computer in Glendale, OH, just north of Cincinnati. This machine notices the temperature anomaly, and after taking into account other sensor readings, as well as details about the particular engine's maintenance history, correctly identifies the likely cause: delamination of the skin covering the engine's thrust reverser. The situation poses no immediate danger to the aircraft. But the airline is notified by telephone, and when the plane arrives in Auckland, mechanics are waiting with the parts needed to repair the skin. They finish in time for the aircraft to leave as scheduled on its next flight.
Five years ago, this could not have happened. The delamination would have worsened gradually, flight after flight, until a mechanic noticed it in the course of a visual inspection. By that point, it would have required extensive and expensive repairs that would probably have forced the delay or even cancellation of the aircraft's next flight and possibly kept it out of service for days or weeks. But today, thanks in large part to sophisticated new statistical techniques that make it possible to detect previously invisible patterns in data, remote monitoring and diagnostic devices are able to spot many problems as soon as they occur-and sometimes even before. "Doctors talk about people in the future walking around with heart-monitoring devices that will give advance warning of heart attacks and other problems," says Gerald Hahn, the recently retired founder and manager of General Electric's Applied Statistics Program in Schenectady, NY. But with complex machinery like aircraft engines and locomotives, he says, "we're already there."
To date, remote monitoring has been applied mainly to big-ticket items where unexpected breakdowns can cost a company tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. "In the next few years, remote monitoring will be included in the majority of car models," says Laurence Fourchet, an analyst with the market research company Frost and Sullivan. The promise, she says, is the same that has driven airlines and railroads to install the systems: to sniff out clues that a system is heading for a failure so that preventative action can be taken. Ideally, Fourchet explains, "someone will tell you that sometime in the next few days you need to check the engine-before the breakdown occurs."
This trend toward self-diagnosing systems appears headed for even greater ubiquity, as efforts are already under way to develop similar capabilities for household appliances like refrigerators, washers and dryers. In the not-too-distant future, an engineered world studded with sensors, computing chips and communications ports, and embedded with sophisticated mathematical tools, could banish the cost and headaches of machine downtime.

André Leon Talley Took His New Job For The Big Bucks
Says Talley about his recent appointment as editor at large for Numéro Russia, "I'm proud to say I'm going to be 64, I felt I needed more financial security as I go in my twilight age, a little bit more cash for mortgages and as I go into retirement. I took the job because I love Russia and the salary was something fabulous. Money isn't everything, but it is when you start thinking about putting money away for your retirement days…Anna was very sympathetic and understood and she decided we remain on good terms and that I do the digital and the online. And I'm very happy to do it." (Fashion Copious)

BlackBerry roadmap shows BBX blitz, 10-inch PlayBook
updated 09:20 pm EST, Fri December 2, 2011
BlackBerry 2012 schedule details emerge
An uncharacteristically detailed roadmap has popped up showing that RIM plans an aggressive launch of not just its phones but its tablets. The London is tentatively slated for March, CrackBerry said, but would be accompanied almost immediately by the Milan. This second model might be a variant of the London and could support GSM carriers like AT&T and Rogers where the London would head to CDMA networks like Verizon.
RIM wouldn't confine itself to touchscreen-only models. The Nevada would be a mixture of touch and QWERTY keyboard similar to the Bold 9900, although it wouldn't arrive until later into the year. A less understood phone known as the Lisbon might be a BBX-based replacement for the Torch 9810 slider.
The most symbolic launch might be for the Black Forest, which is now thought to be the rumored 10-inch PlayBook. RIM had reportedly cancelled a larger model earlier, but this new design would be a rethink with the angled, metal look of the London. Little else was mentioned.
A new tablet would give added significance to co-CEO Mike Lazaridis' recommitment to tablets on Friday. Despite taking a near half-billion dollar hit on unsold PlayBooks, which could see as many as one million devices still in warehouses, the company would still be willing to remain in the category and experiment with what would work. A larger tablet had already been seen a concession to market realities that seven-inch tablets don't register in sales and would be a gauge to see if a more popular size and finally finishing the OS would be enough to change minds.
The new BBX platform, which should reach both RIM's phones and tablets, promises to give RIM its first truly modern smartphone platform and the same kind of unified foundation that Apple and Google already have. Having a March release could help staunch rapidly bleeding market share.

The present study takes an interest in the description of the fouling mechanisms by a numerical approach at the microscopic scale. At first, an X-ray tomography has enabled the modelling of the membrane structure for the numerical simulations. Next, for different particle size, a same volume of particles has been sent in the modelled membrane and the final permeability has been computed. Thus, the influence of the particle size on the fouling has been seen. An observation of the particles penetration in the membrane has been realised to detail this influence. The Hermia relations were used in order to determinate the predominant fouling mechanism or the succession of predominant fouling mechanisms. But, without an accurate calculation of the first derivative, it is not possible to define cleanly the predominant fouling mechanism for a low filtered volume. Nevertheless, the perspectives of the local approach with the numerical simulation seem interesting.

In recent weeks, you've probably heard that some Alabama inmates may be released early because there isn't enough money in the state's treasury to keep them behind bars.
Some worry paroling prisoners could take a toll on the state's appearance.
That's because non-violent inmates provide a variety of services that help keep cities like Eufaula looking good.
City leaders there say the prisoners save Eufaula $117,000 a year. They also say they could find themselves unable to use inmates services if there isn't enough funding to pay those who supervise them.

|Reliability, minimal detectable change, and normative values for tests of upper extremity function and power.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21088548 Owner: NLM Status: In-Process
|The purpose of this study was to examine the test-retest reliability, minimal detectable change (MDC), and determine normative values of 3 upper extremity (UE) tests of function and power. One hundred eighty participants, men (n = 69) and women (n = 111), were tested on 3 UE strength and power maneuvers in a multicenter study to determine baseline normative values. Forty-six subjects returned for a second day of testing within 5 days of the initial assessment for the reliability component of the investigation. Explosive power was assessed via a seated shot-put test for the dominant and nondominant arms. Relationships between the dominant and nondominant arms were also analyzed. A push-up and modified pull-up were performed to measure the amount of work performed in short (15-second) bursts of activity. The relationship between the push-up and modified pull-up was also determined. Analysis showed test-retest reliability for the modified pull-up, timed push-up, dominant single-arm seated shot-put tests, and nondominant single-arm seated shot-put tests to be intraclass correlation coefficient(3,1) 0.958, 0.989, 0.988, and 0.971, respectively. The MDC for both the push-up and modified pull-up was 2 repetitions. The MDCs for the shot put with the dominant arm and the nondominant arm were 17 and 18 in., respectively. The result of this study indicates that these field tests possess excellent reliability. Normative values have been identified, which require further validation. These tests demonstrate a practical and effective method to measure upper extremity functional power.

Gorden Wagener
Vice President Design, Mercedes Benz Cars, Vans, & Daimler Trucks, Mercedes
With the 2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Gorden Wagener faced a challenge most car designers would love to have: make a best-selling car sell even better. The 2015 model is longer and wider, but weighs 200 pounds less due to a partly aluminum body, which also offered more freedom when it came to curves and detailing. To give the C-Class a self-assured look, Wagener patterned the headlights after a human eye, with the circular torch as the eyeball and a row of LEDs above as an eyebrow (and turn signal). Wagener pushed the cabin back, lengthening the hood and shifting the focus of the car to the rear. He also tapered the cabin and raised the back for a classic "dropping line" stance. As a result, the C-Class is unusually aerodynamic.
It's about the materials you don't see, but you feel and hear through different senses--that's how we design.

Reduced levels of CCL2 and CXCL10 in systemic lupus erythematosus patients under treatment with prednisone, mycophenolate mofetil, or hydroxychloroquine, except in a high STAT1 subset

Arthritis Research & Therapy 2014, 16:R23 doi:10.1186/ar4451Published: 24 January 2014
Our recent data showed that signal transducers and activators of transcription 1 (STAT1), adenosine deaminase acting on RNA (ADAR), C-C motif chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2), and C-X-C motif chemokine 10 (CXCL10) were significantly elevated in a systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) cohort compared to healthy donors. High and low STAT1 subsets were identified in SLE patient visits. The present study analyzed the correlation of common treatments used in SLE with the levels of these biomarkers.
Peripheral blood leukocytes were collected from 65 healthy donors and 103 SLE patients, of whom 60 had samples from two or more visits. Total RNA was isolated and analyzed for the expression of mRNA and microRNA using Taqman real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays. Relative expression of interferon signature genes, CCL2, and CXCL10 were determined by the ΔΔCT method. Results were correlated with therapy using prednisone, mycophenolate mofetil, and hydroxychloroquine and analyzed by Wilcoxon/Kruskal-Wallis test and Fisher's exact test.
CCL2 and CXCL10 were significantly higher in untreated patients compared to treated patients, however, in high STAT1 patient visits there is no significant difference between treated and untreated patients' visits. When comparing linear regression fits of interferon (IFN) score with CCL2 and CXCL10, untreated patients and high STAT1 patients displayed significantly higher slopes compared to treated patients. There was no significant difference between the slopes of high STAT1 and untreated patients indicating that CCL2 and CXCL10 were correlated with type-I IFN in high STAT1 patients similar to that in untreated patients. CCL2 and CXCL10 levels in the high STAT1 subset remained high in treated patient visits compared to those of the low STAT1 subset.
Among the biomarkers analyzed, only CCL2 and CXCL10 showed significantly reduced levels in treated compared to untreated SLE patients. STAT1, CCL2, and CXCL10 are potentially useful indicators of therapeutic action in SLE patients. Further work is needed to determine whether high STAT1 levels convey resistance to therapies commonly used to treat SLE and whether STAT1 inhibitors may have therapeutic implication for these patients.

Malema: Minister a walking disasterComment on this story
Cape Town - Former union leader Senzeni Zokwana's appointment to President Jacob Zuma's cabinet was a "reward" for having threatened to march naked, EFF leader Julius Malema told journalists on Sunday.
"(Zokwana) as a minister of agriculture? Come on, I don't think he's got anything to offer. The man is challenged. The man is a disaster, a walking disaster," Malema said at a media briefing in Cape Town.
He then referred to Zokwana's call, two years ago, for men to march naked in protest against artist Brett Murray's controversial painting The Spear, which depicted Zuma with exposed genitals.
"Remember that Zokwana is being rewarded for having threatened to march naked... He threatened (to do so) during that art gallery thing of Zuma, that Spear.
"Zokwana... said, we are going to march naked, and we are like hau! hau! hau! We don't want to see those things of Zokwana. He is rewarded for demonstrating capacity to march naked, that is the reward he gets," Malema said, to laughter from EFF MPs and journalists.
He said the country had become a joke.
"You want a Cabinet position, threaten to march naked, then you will be given a position in government."
Malema then turned his attention to former police commissioner Bheki Cele, whom Zuma has appointed as Zokwana's deputy.
"Imagine him (Zokwana) and Bheki Cele in agriculture. I mean, what are they going to do? Bheki Cele is going to shoot and kill fishes!"
Malema said the combination of Zokwana and Cele in the ministry signified a leadership crisis in the African National Congress. - Sapa

Hot Sauce Committee Part Two
|Hot Sauce Committee Part Two
|Studio album by Beastie Boys
|April 27, 2011
|Hip hop
|Beastie Boys
|Beastie Boys chronology
|Singles from Hot Sauce Committee Part Two
Hot Sauce Committee Part Two is the eighth and final studio album by the American hip hop band Beastie Boys, released on April 27, 2011.
The album was originally planned for release on September 15, 2009 under the title Hot Sauce Committee, Pt. 1, as the first installment of a two-part set. The album was delayed after band member Adam "MCA" Yauch was diagnosed with cancer.[2] After a two-year delay, only one album has been released and the plan for a two-part album has been abandoned in light of Yauch's death on May 4, 2012. Collaborators on the album include singer Santigold, who co-wrote and sang on the track "Don't Play No Game That I Can't Win", and Nas, who raps on "Too Many Rappers".
The album was previously known by the working title Tadlock's Glasses,[3] which was stated to be a reference to a former bus driver named Tadlock, who used to drive for Elvis Presley's back-up singers. Presley once gave Tadlock a pair of glasses which he was proud of. It was later speculated that the Tadlock's Glasses story was simply a joke misinterpreted by the media.[4]
A large amount of material was recorded, and the plan was to release the album, now called Hot Sauce Committee, in two parts as the Beastie Boys revealed to Drowned in Sound.[5] Mike D also hinted that part two may be released via unusual means:
|Pt. 2 is pretty much done. Basically we were making ...Pt 1, had too many songs, so we recorded some more songs. Which sounds bizarre but it actually worked out, because it made it clear to us which songs were going to be on ...Pt 1. Then we had this whole other album of songs: ...Pt 2. ...Pt 1's going to be your regular CD in the stores and to download, but ...Pt 2 is going to be released in...we're still figuring it out, but a different way. More of a 2009 style. ... You could get in the shower one day and, boom, all of a sudden you're showered with MP3s. Or we might send people a seven-inch every few weeks, so you have a whole box set.[5]
Regarding the structure of the album, Yauch stated, "It's a combination of playing and sampling stuff as we're playing, and also sampling pretty obscure records. There are a lot of songs on the record and there are a lot of short songs and they kind of all run into each other."[6] A commentary track included with the Check Your Head re-release mentions that Bob Dylan would appear on the album.[7]
Part 1[edit]
The first part of the album was intended to be called Hot Sauce Committee, Pt. 1 and was prepared for release, with artwork revealed and a planned release date of September 15, 2009.[4] In an interview the Beastie Boys stated that the album was completed and group also announced that they would tour the United Kingdom in support of the new record.[3]
This was delayed after Adam "MCA" Yauch was diagnosed with cancer.[2] On July 20, 2009, Yauch issued a video press release via YouTube (and via e-mail to fans on mailing list) stating that a form of cancer was found in his salivary gland and that some or all upcoming shows are canceled, with the release date of Hot Sauce Committee delayed. He added that the cancer is localized, and that he should be fine after surgery.[8] In October 2009, Adam Yauch announced that the band had not yet decided a new release date, but was quoted saying he was hoping to release it in the first half of 2010.[9]
Part 2[edit]
An email sent out on October 17, 2010, from the Beastie Boys announced: "Although we regret to inform you that Hot Sauce Committee Pt. 1 will continue to be delayed indefinitely, Hot Sauce Committee Pt. 2 will be released on time as originally planned in Spring of 2011." An email sent the following week now clarified that Pt. 2 would be released with almost exactly the same tracklist as was announced for Pt. 1, excluding the track "Bundt Cake."[10] No date is set for Part 1.[11]
Hot Sauce Committee, Pt. 1 was finally released in May 2011 under the title Hot Sauce Committee Part Two with a slightly altered track listing including a new version of "Too Many Rappers".[12] The material intended for part two may now be released as Hot Sauce Committee, Pt. 1 at some point in the future.[12]
Online leaks and album promotion[edit]
On April 6, 2011, "Make Some Noise" was leaked online five days ahead of its release date and subsequently made available via their blog.[13] It was released on time as a digital download and as a limited edition 7" vinyl single for Record Store Day five days later with a Passion Pit remix of the track as a b-side.[14] To promote the album, the Beastie Boys released clips of two songs: "Lee Majors Come Again" features hardcore punk, while the "B-Boys in the Cut" is an a capella piece. The tracks were previously released with a select few copies of the Check Your Head vinyl edition package.[4]
Both "Lee Majors Come Again" and "Here's a Little Something for Ya" are featured in remixed form on the Activision video game, DJ Hero.[14] A clean version of "Pop Your Balloon" was released on the soundtrack to NBA Live 10 in mid-2009.[14] The album was launched on April 23, 2011 by live-streaming the album online via boombox inside Madison Square Garden; two days later, they streamed the explicit album version via SoundCloud to combat the leaking of the clean promo version over the previous weekend.[14] The online launch had been announced with the cryptic message "This Sat, 10:35 a.m. EST - Just listen, listen, listen to the beat box" sent by email on April 22, 2011.[14]
"Lee Majors Come Again" was released as the album's first single in 2009.[15] It was released as a 7" single, and some of these singles were distributed with select copies of a reissue box set of the group's third studio album Check Your Head[1] A version of the song "Too Many Rappers", featuring Nas, was released as the album's second single in July 2009.[16] It peaked at #93 on the Billboard Hot 100 making it the Beastie Boys' first single in five years to chart on the Hot 100; the last time being "Ch-Check It Out" in 2004 that peaked at #68.[17] "Too Many Rappers" has also been nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group.[17] This may not be regarded as belonging to this album as at the time it was intended for and promoted as part of the (never released) Hot Sauce Committee Pt 1 album.[17] A revised version of "Too Many Rappers" was included on the Hot Sauce Committee Pt 2 album.[17]
The next single, "Make Some Noise" was released as a download on April 11, 2011 and five days later as 7" vinyl single for Record Store Day.[1] "Make Some Noise" reached at #7 in Alternative Songs chart, #15 in Rock Songs, #18 in Japan Hot 100 and #76 in Canadian Hot 100.[18] On July 26, 2011, "Don't Play No Game That I Can't Win" was released as the fourth single.[19] It debuted at #80 on Billboard's R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart making it the group's first appearance on the chart in 24 years; their last single to do so was "Brass Monkey" in 1987 which peaked at #83.[19]

|Slant Magazine
Upon its release, Hot Sauce Committee Part Two received widespread acclaim from music critics.[20] At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 83, based on 42 reviews, which indicates "universal acclaim".[20] Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic gave the album four and a half stars out of five, saying "Last time around, the Beasties weighed themselves down by creating retro-tribute to N.Y.C., taking everything just a little bit too seriously, but here they're free of any expectations and are back to doing what they do best: cracking wise and acting so stupid they camouflage how kinetic, inventive, and rich their music is. And, make no mistake, The Hot Sauce Committee, Pt. 2 does find the Beastie Boys at their best. Perhaps they're no longer setting the style, but it takes master musicians to continually find new wrinkles within a signature sound, which is precisely what the Beasties do here."[21] Crispin Kott of PopMatters gave the album a nine out of ten, saying "Make no mistake, this is a contemporary album by a contemporary Beastie Boys. Sure, they're still hilarious and juvenile, which is great because I'm only a few years younger than them myself, and I'm a complete doofus. But even when they're in classic call/response hip-hop territory, it's still bakery fresh. Well, for the most part, anyway."[28] Dave Simpson of The Guardian gave the album four out of five stars, saying "Now in their fourth decade of working together, the Beasties' eighth studio album revisits their old-skool roots. The tracks urge us to Make Some Noise, threaten to "rock da house" and even suggest a "party on the left." However, their wit and invention transforms such tired cliches into their freshest offering in years. A tapestry-cum-rollercoaster of sound, the confusingly titled album (Part One remains unreleased) mixes obscure samples, live playing, electronic squiggles and hardcore thrash."[25]
Rob Sheffield of Rolling Stone gave the album four out of five stars, saying "Beastie Boys were already old-school back when they were young-school, hyping an early-Eighties hip-hop revival on Paul's Boutique before the Eighties were even over. So it's no surprise that on Hot Sauce Committee Part Two they make no effort to accommodate or even acknowledge any of the latest hip-hop trends. Instead, we get the sound of master musicians in their comfort zone, doing everything their own way. Nobody would want to hear the Beasties try anything else."[29] Huw Jones of Slant Magazine gave the album four out of five stars, saying "Gracefully light on the cynicism that's plagued numerous rappers entering the twilight of their career, and shamelessly heavy on the comical musings that have come to define the Beastie Boys, Hot Sauce Committee is an irresistibly fun record. Think of it as a trip down memory lane en route to the retirement home, though hopefully we can expect a few more detours before these New York veterans reach their destination."[30] Timmhotep Aku of XXL gave the album an L, saying "Yes, they're the Beastie Boys, and of course fans would expect them to be eclectic and kooky, but reliable and predictable aren't the same thing. And while HSC2 is a solid and enjoyable album, we hope that our favorite scientists will tinker with a slightly different, more exciting formula moving forward."[31]
Matt Diehl of the Los Angeles Times gave the album four out of four stars, saying "This is vintage Beasties, all exuberant pass-the-mike battle rhymes and gritty break-beats so funky, it's near impossible not to head-bob through the entire record -- or slam dance, as the hard-core thump on "Lee Majors Come Again" so inspires. These aesthetics prove not so much dated as timeless: The Beasties don't sound as if they're repeating themselves as much as creating fresh grooves with a sensibility that's proved enduring."[26] Mark Richardson of Pitchfork Media gave the album a 7.0 out of 10, saying "Taken together, these 16 songs, which seem to touch on just about everything the Beastie Boys have said and done, may not add up to something amazing, but they do the job. And listening to Hot Sauce Committee, it's hard not to reflect on how long the Beastie Boys have been together and how, unusually, their musical partnership still seems grounded in friendship rather than just business. There's still something inspiring in the idea of the Beastie Boys that transcends any single release. So while this may not be a great album or even a top-tier Beastie Boys album-- I'd place it somewhere between Hello Nasty and the inferior 5 Boroughs, neither of which can touch those first four-- anyone who cares about these guys will be glad it exists."[27] Kyle Anderson of Entertainment Weekly gave the album a A−, saying "Hot Sauce is a lot like Daniel Craig's übercool James Bond — another stripped-down return to a franchise's best virtues after a decade or so of wandering the desert. It took a little time, but the Boys are back with a license to ill."[24]
