Ethanol increase 'troubles' Sen. Hutchison
Posted By Tina Grady Barbaccia On October 14, 2010 @ 8:41 am In Aggbeat Online | No Comments
Now that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) raised the amount of ethanol blended into gasoline for model year vehicles of 2007 and later, U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas) called for an additional study to determine how the 15 -percent ethanol blend (E-15) will impact vehicles.
There is still much uncertainty about whether the E-15 blend will damage engines, affect operational safety, or add to consumers' fuel costs, according to Bailey's press office. THe press office says that the EPA's split decision delaying approval for vehicles manufactured between 2001 and 2006 shows the government has doubts as well.
"It is troubling that the Environmental Protection Agency would impose an untested mandate on American consumers," said Sen. Hutchison in a written press statement. "Before we require a higher ethanol blend for some vehicles, we should fully understand how it will impact Americans' fuel costs and, most importantly, the safety of their cars and trucks, I have introduced legislation that will direct key government agencies to study the consequences of the E-15 blend so we can be certain that it will not hurt consumers."
Sen. Hutchison introduced S. 3916 on Sept. 29, 2010. The legislation will instruct the Consumer Product Safety Commission to conduct a study to examine how the higher blend would impact consumers in different regions of the country through interstate commerce, whether it would raise fuel costs, and if the increase poses a danger to consumer safety.
The bill also directs the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to investigate whether the use of ethanol-gasoline blends of more than 10 percent will affect tailpipe emissions, exhaust temperatures, catalytic converters, and motor engine performance.
Prior to the EPA's announcement, cars and light trucks from model years 2001 onward have been using a 10 percent ethanol blend. The EPA decision will not at this time impact vehicles from model years 2001 through 2006, and they will continue to use gasoline blended with 10 percent ethanol. EPA denied a request to apply the mandate to cars and trucks older than 2001, as well as off-road vehicles, boats, motorcycles, lawnmowers, and other consumer products with small engines.

The Next
Hundred Million
America in 2050
by Joel Kotkin
Penguin, 320 pp., $25.95
My wife and I spent a delightful weekend with our twin children in New York City as the school year ended. Being only seven, our young Texans had never set foot in New York. But they knew about it, thanks to Eloise's haunts at the Plaza. New York held a special fascination for our daughter after she read umpteen jillion Eloise books and watched hours of Eloise DVDs with her brother.
Many people hate New York, but it has a special draw for other Americans. Put me in that camp. I love its density, crowds, and pace. But the reality is that the typical American city is moving away from the model of New York, especially Manhattan. Many Americans, including those of us who love New York, are choosing to live in newer cities such as Phoenix, Denver, Atlanta, and Dallas. (The latest census data show Dallas-Fort Worth is America's fastest-growing metropolitan area.)
They operate with a set of arrangements that contrast with the European-style city you see in New York, Chicago, or San Francisco: walkup apartments, towering skyscrapers, pedestrian traffic. Those feed the pulse of Manhattan, Chicago, and San Francisco, much as Paris and London thrive around the clock with restaurants, groceries, and shops that residents walk to on their way home, or stop by late at night. As Joel Kotkin expertly explains here, American cities are mostly operating on a new template. They are "multipolar, auto-car-dependent, and geographically vast," he writes. Kotkin contends that these decentralized cities benefit from their vast geography and "smaller constellation of subcenters."
The Next Hundred Million is worth reading on several levels, but Kotkin's analysis of the type of metropolitan areas we are living in today is the most important. Whether you are just curious about what's ahead, a real estate developer looking for the trends shaping America, or a political strategist thinking about what the public square will look like over the next few decades, his ideas must, at least, be considered.
Sure, cities like Houston present a "wow" skyline and ample new options for living in the central core, often built up around new downtown stadiums. And within the confines of those downtowns, you can have the urban lifestyle that attracts people to New York, Chicago, or San Francisco. But their downtowns are only one node among many. Once you leave the central business district, the skyscrapers fade away into miles of low-rise residences and businesses until you hit the next set of high-rises, office towers, and multilevel shopping malls. That is certainly true for Dallas and Houston: They are more like Los Angeles, the granddaddy of the new American city, in that they have a business district in their downtowns, a medical district someplace else, a technology corridor (or what's left of one) over yonder, and big shopping districts built up around malls. Each node is connected to the other by freeways, which allow people to move fairly quickly from point to point.
Those who love the New York model may loathe the car-dependent, decentralized nature of places like Phoenix. But Kotkin, who lives in Los Angeles, points out that their big size allows them to remain affordable for middle-class families. There is room for more people, which keeps the supply-and-demand curve in relative balance. And he offers a great term for these new metropolitan areas: He calls them "aspirational cities." They don't have a Broadway or a Times Square, which "superstar cities" such as New York offer, but they aspire to greatness through creating opportunities. And they do so largely through being relatively easy places in which to live. Housing is more affordable; quality schools exist in their suburbs; new art centers provide good cultural offerings.
One thing that struck me after moving back to Texas from Washington in 1991 is how many times you hear transplants to Dallas say that they like the "ease" of the place, even if they don't like the heat and the flatness. They also like getting more bang for their housing dollars. That not only includes getting more square feet at a reasonable price, but also a large lot, often in those suburbs that Kotkin extols. They are a major part of the decentralized city, offering people "a spot of land and a little breathing room," as he puts it.
I confess that my family and I live in an old neighborhood near downtown Dallas where you don't see many strip malls or big box stores. So I'm one of those who cringe while driving through Dallas's many suburbs with their malls, chain stores, and same old-same old restaurants. But those suburbs are what keep places like Dallas affordable. Kotkin calls this "the power of vanilla," and their ordinariness keeps them accessible places, especially for families with children. By contrast, the middle class is being squeezed out of Manhattan, which is increasingly a luxury city for high-income workers. (Kotkin notes that a recent Brookings Institution study reports that New York has the smallest share of middle-class families in America.)
There's a temptation, even in aspirational cities, to focus money and attention on developing "glamour zones" such as New York offers. We have one in Dallas, built up around a new basketball arena. There's nothing wrong with destination attractions, per se, but Kotkin's point is that aspirational cities must not forget that good jobs, safe neighborhoods, and affordable housing are what draw people to them.
One interesting wrinkle in this tale of the suburbs surrounding the "new American city" is that they are getting more diverse, as Kotkin reports. He considers them the new melting pot. You can see this diversity in one of Dallas's oldest white-bread suburbs, Richardson, where its school district now educates children who speak dozens of different languages. Its Asian shopping district hums with food stores you wouldn't find anywhere else in North Texas. And perhaps not so notably, it was home to the Holy Land Foundation, which the Bush administration busted on charges of financing terrorism.
Diversity figures prominently in The Next Hundred Million, and smart conservatives will listen up. Some may dislike the prevalence of immigrants in our communities, but immigrants will drive America's growth—especially if we make room for them through a saner immigration system. At the outset, Kotkin contrasts the projected growth in America's population, that next hundred million, to the flat population rates projected for Europe and parts of Asia. The fact that people want to come here speaks to the vibrancy of our society—and to what will keep our economy growing as well. And not just in creating low-skill jobs—which no society should bet its future upon—but in generating high-skill jobs, which attract educated immigrants.
There is a risk, of course, if we don't manage immigration right, and that is where conservatives are right to worry. We need to make sure we master the assimilation of immigrants into our society. As Kotkin writes, "It will not be bloodlines but the ideals and attitudes shaped by a uniquely diverse society." He believes the "binding principles" that differentiate us from the rest of the world will be "a common belief system and a spiritual core, a sense of a shared destiny, a culture of opportunity and a recognition of the importance of community and family."
Perhaps we could add a few more principles to this, such as understanding the history of the United States of America. But he's basically correct, particularly with that last part about community and family.
As it happens, my newspaper is engaged in a campaign to close the gap between Dallas's wealthier northern half and its poorer southern half. We've been writing about economic strategies, but we're also focusing on the difference that strong families can make in turning around the southern districts of Dallas where many new immigrants live. Good schools are a big part of the equation, and not just in Dallas: They are the key to social mobility and to acquiring a sense of America's binding principles. Here's hoping Republicans will take up where George W. Bush left off with his important emphasis on good public schools.
I don't buy all of Kotkin's points. He's too down on downtowns, for example, seeing them as having mostly symbolic importance in the future. (In Dallas, at least, many businesses still flock to the central city.) But his main point is an important one: America's future doesn't rest with Washington calling the shots but with the evolution of our local communities. New York remains a helluva town, but there's a counter-reformation going on across the rest of urban America.

Thousands of passengers have been displaced after nine jets have been grounded after window cracks appeared in the cockpit of one of Otago Air New Zealand's planes. Twenty-two flights have been cancelled as the airline investigates the origins of the cracks. The cancellations have caused chaos for travelers with at least 2,000 left stranded, mostly in New Zealand. The domestic carrier of Air New Zealand is working to find alternatives to get passengers up in the air. Otago is operated by Mount Cook airlines, a partner company of Air New Zealand. The window hairline cracks were discovered in Christchurch, New Zealand during a routine maintenance check.
Grounded Air New Zealand flights reap havoc for passengers
With at least 2,000 passengers affected by grounded and cancelled flights, Air New Zealand is urging travelers to visit its website for regular updates. Passengers traveling with Air New Zealand internationally should not worry about delays as the problems only concern the Mount Cook ATR-72 fleet. With one of the highest safety ratings in airline travel, Air New Zealand says that the flights were kept out of the air as a precautionary measure.

The story of The Stonewall Riots has been told in books and in film. "Hit the Wall," now playing at the Barrow Street Theatre, aims to "blend history with theatrical imagination." The result is a show full of stereotypes that is at times funny, loud and difficult to watch.

iHerb Customer Reviews
I think this is a great product but I was disapoinnted when I asked to the compagny what they use for their capsules, she told me they use pork and beef gelatin in all their products. I thought they use fish gelatin, Next time I will check closely, I had to throw up the bottle. The brand is "Nature's Way" well not really. If this review is helpful click on YES.
I have PCOS and I take Vitex religiously everyday, 2x400mg in the morning in empty stomach. At first I was disappointed, because it made my cycle even longer. But this is how Vitex works, it takes some time to regulate your hormonal system. When I stopped Vitex cold turkey in the middle of one cycle, my progesterone dropped so low, that I had my period 7 days after ovulation (not a good thing). Although it does not contain hormones, it acts supportively. Click on my username for more reviews! If you thought that this review was helpful please feel free to press the 'yes' button.

LAS CRUCES >> There's gelato, fresh produce and flowers galore at a new student-run store selling student-made goods at New Mexico State University.
Crimson Creations by ACES — for the College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences — was already packed with customers at its official opening Wednesday afternoon, just in time for classes to begin today.
The store brings together three classes and student groups who were once selling their wares in classrooms and building lobbies once a week.
"Before, we were selling our gelato and sorbet on the third floor out of sight of everyone, and it didn't get our product out," said Whitney Biel, an NMSU instructor who helped launch the gelato-making course and manages the student business.
Now, the groups have a full-fledged store, open 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday in the Gerald Thomas Hall lobby. The business is open to the public and NMSU community alike.
The store's main business is selling the gelato, sorbets and baking mixes developed and packaged by students taking the ACES in the Hole Foods class that Biel teaches. But two refrigerators are also full of floral arrangements from the floral judging team and fresh produce from the two-acre Student Research and Education Gardens.
The store gives students a hands-on, comprehensive experience in making and selling a product and finding out what customers do and don't like, Biel said. The storefront also makes it easier for Las Crucens to pass by and pick up gelato or fresh produce, she said.
Most of the employees will be students in Biel's class, though three students have been hired and will be paid to run the store during all other hours.
Sophomore Cassandra Suther will begin the class this week.
"I think it's a really fun idea," she said. "I like ice cream ... I'm a food science major, so I was always interested in food production."
The students had 18 gelato and sorbet flavors available Wednesday — from green chile lime sorbet to Samoa gelato to standard chocolate and vanilla. Nearby, a dozen floral arrangements featuring sunflowers, roses and other blooms sat in colorful vases.
"I think that it's a really good opportunity for us to grow," said Cait Haworth, a sophomore nursing student who arranges flowers as a hobby. "It helps us get our floral arrangements out to people easier."
Fresh onions, squash, tomatoes and herbs were also ripe for the buying Wednesday. The student farm will add cucumbers, cantaloupe, okra, watermelon and more to the mix later this summer, horticulture students Abbey Carver and Deborah Sowder said.
"If you want to grow something, you want to know how to sell it," Sowder, a junior, said.
The produce is grown using organic practices, and the farm is expected to receive its organic U.S. Department of Agriculture organic certification later this year, they said. Proceeds from sales will go to buying seeds.
The students are learning how to showcase the vegetables in a presentable, appealing way, said Carver, a senior. She is more accustomed to selling her produce face-to-face at farmer's markets than leaving it on a shelf for customers to grab.
"We're seeing what people want to see when they're buying it," Carver said. "I've never sold anything in a store."

whether you were transferred for a new job, just graduated college, or moving to be closer to a loved one there are many reasons to be excited about moving to Raleigh North Carolina. If you are looking for apartments there are many great options available in Raleigh has several amazing neighborhoods that you can't go wrong finding a rental property in.
One of my favorite neighborhoods in Raleigh North Carolina is known as Brier Creek. This neighborhood is in the northwest section of Raleigh North Carolina and is one of the fastest growing areas in Raleigh. One of the only drawbacks for this section of raw North Carolina is the fact that you may have trouble finding a rental property in the area. If you're having trouble finding a rental property and want to live in this section of Raleigh my recommendation is look for seasoned Raleigh-based property management company to help you on your search. Brier Creek features and Arnold Palmer designed golf course which is simply amazing you have to see it to believe it. There are many condominiums and townhomes in the area and if you're lucky in searching for a rental condo you may be able to find one that's parked right next to the multimillion dollar mansion and very close to the golf course. They also have a complex which is another exclusive neighborhood that is nearby.
If you're looking for a little bit more charm I like beer he of five points in Raleigh North Carolina. Five points is named after a very confusing intersection of Glenwood Avenue, Fairview Road and Whitaker Mill Road the area is just northwest of downtown and feet sure stay hip and funky vibe that includes bars restaurants clothing boutiques and even a really cool independent movie theater. Most of the houses in the five points area are older bungalow style homes but they are well-maintained and feature a lot of charm you will find the streets completely lined with trees and skyscrapers from downtown Raleigh can oftentimes be seen from the backyards of this fantastic rally North Carolina neighborhood.
If you're looking for a rental property that is up scale a little bit more midtown you may want to look into the North Hills neighborhood of Raleigh North Carolina homes in North Hills North Carolina often feature terra-cotta roofs and hefty price tags but if you can afford the rent in North Hills Raleigh you know you're in a great neighborhood.
North Hills is located at Interstate 440 and six forks and originally forest in the 1960s with ranch homes that surrounded a really nice shopping center with great shops and restaurants in the middle of the neighborhood the new development in North Hills is called ramble would in many of the houses in ramble would have to price tags in excess of $1 million but I have found it is oftentimes possible to look at these houses as rental properties and achieve a pretty good rant for one or two year lease on $1 million house. One of the real tricks to finding a good deal on a rental property in North Hills is to work with a seasoned management company that has the right connections to secure use the best possible lease.

The whole "Bill Gates of …" meme is so cliched and irritating that, on principle, I almost skipped a piece in the current BusinessWeek ("Imagining the Next Bill Gates") about trends in biotech. Anyway, the piece is worth reading, mainly because it is so blase (is writer Greg Blonder of Morgenthaler really so sanguine about genetic modification?), and it again demonstrates the persistent (and generally wrong-headed) belief of IT-turned-biotech sorts (including Gates himself) that we are on the cusp of the age of rational drug design. Riiiight.

The Summer Institute is an intensive five-week gateway experience designed for 30–45 incoming students who, besides their academic potential, show much promise in the areas of leadership and community/civic engagement. Hosted by the Office of Undergraduate Studies (OUS), the program provides an academic and social orientation to life at Colgate, and promotes personal growth and educational achievement. During the summer session, students normally complete two credit-bearing courses that meet requirements needed for graduation. In addition, they receive regular support in writing and quantitative literacy, along with academic advising. The institute also prepares students for leadership and community engagement, while helping them access Colgate's many resources. Phone: 315-228-7375 Website: Summer Institute Socratic Summer Academy* June 27–July 18 Open to boys and girls entering grades 9–12. The Socratic Summer Academy was founded in 2010. It's a three-week sleepaway summer camp aimed at improvement on the SATs. Every year, using our carefully tailored curriculum and in-house textbook, in conjunction with College Board prep materials, we get higher and higher score improvements: We've established a track record of 400 point score improvements (over a 3-week period!) for students who had never studied the SAT We had 208 point score improvements for students who had studied the SAT somewhere else for 4+ months We focus on a Socratic approach to teaching, where information is more derived and less lectured. We believe in small-group instruction and most of the instruction happens in groups of 3 to 4 students with one teacher, or in team-taught setting in the classroom. We play games both inside the classroom and after meals to help reinforce our strategies or drill vocabulary, as well as putting the students on coaching teams to work towards goals which are sometimes SAT-related, and sometimes just fun. Weekly practice tests and specific goal-setting strategies built around each student's specific progress urges our students forward, and our instructors are people who love being around kids both as teachers and as people - they are just as likely to pose a philosophical conundrum as to tell a silly story that solidifies subject-verb agreement forever in a student's head. In their free time, our students select elective courses like creative writing and environmental science, courses that expose them to diverse topics they rarely find at their high schools. During their free time, students hike Colgate's hills and mountains, swim in the pool, work out in the fitness center, play basketball, tennis, volleyball, soccer, ping pong, racquetball, or squash, attend outdoor concerts, go to movie theaters, or sit around campfires, singing with a guitar and staring at the stars. Our teachers--role models who themselves attend or attended some of the best schools in the United States--serve as friends and mentors, guides through difficult decisions, chaperones on trips to the ice cream parlor, leaders of activities like quiz bowl or a cappella.

Rio Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas: Hackers at Def Con 20 gathering on Sunday were shown how to easily slip into computer networks through some routers made by Chinese electronics colossus Huawei Technologies.
\"For the 20th anniversary of Def Con the gift hits China,\" Recurity Labs chief Felix \"FX\" Lindner said as he opened his presentation.
\"Nobody needs a back door; this is plausible deniability,\" he quipped as he detailed weaknesses in three small Huawei routers that could be exploited using basic hacking techniques. \"You get what you pay for. Sorry.\"
Lindner and his teammate Gregor Kopf were particularly troubled that Huawei has not issued any security advisories about its routers to warn users to take precautions.
\"These machines have serious security issues,\" Kopf told AFP. \"In my eyes, the greatest danger is that you don\'t know how vulnerable it is; you\'re left in the dark.\" \"It looks pretty bad,\" Kopf said.
Huawei, founded by a former People\'s Liberation Army engineer, has established itself as a major force in the global telecoms industry where its technology is widely used to build mobile phone networks.
Huawei is battling an image problem in the broader technology market due to its perceived close ties with the Chinese military and government.
It was recently blocked from bidding for contracts on Australia\'s ambitious national broadband project, reportedly due to concerns about cyber-security.
The company has in the past also run afoul of US regulators and lawmakers because of worries over its links with the Chinese military and Beijing -- fears that Huawei has dismissed.
\"It doesn\'t really matter how much intention is behind the quality that we see,\" said Lindner. \"If you can take over people\'s routers you can get into their stuff. People need to verify what they are dealing with before they buy.\"

Chris Lane of Guntersville, Ala., won the Bassmaster Classic on Sunday by more than 3 pounds, fending off Greg Vinson.
Chris Lane says he's got a sort of inner clock that starts to tick when everything is in sync and working for him. If ever he's heard that wonderful sound, it was Saturday at Classic.
After Keith Poche stepped off the Classic stage, he did not fully realize he had just taken the lead from Greg Vinson by 1 ounce. Someone backstage helped drive it home to him.
Casey Ashley gained another winner's notch in his Bassmaster belt. After Sunday he's now a three-time Bassmaster Elite Series winner.
Ott DeFoe has made quite an impression during his Rookie of the Year season. The Knoxville, Tenn., angler was the top pick by two of the Elite Series pros polled.
Skeet Reese takes some safisfaction in turning tables on Kevin VanDam and knocking him out of Toyota Trucks All-Star Week.
Casey Ashley tops the eight qualifiers as Skeet knocks KVD out of Toyota Trucks All-Star Week by 8 ounces
Terry Scroggins led the 12-pro Ramada All-Star Semi-Final field on Saturday by 5 ounces, but it was the 5 pounds between first and eighth place that triggered the big smile that's trademark "Big Show."
Davy Hite had the most frustrating day among the 12 Bassmaster Elite Series pros competing in the Ramada All-Star Semi-Final of Toyota Trucks All-Star Week, but he was hardly alone.
Somehow, in the middle of Day One of the Ramada All-Star Semi-Final, the event tripped up bass fishing's three biggest stars and set them up for a showdown to survive.

Fault Detection and Identification for Robot Manipulators
Several factors must be considered for robotic task execution in th presence of a fault, including: detection, identification, and accomodation for the fault. In this research work, a prediction error based dead-zone residual function and a nonlinear observer are used to detect and identify a class of actuator faults. Advantages of the proposed fault detection and identification methods are that they are based on the nonlinear dynamic model of a robot manipulator (and hence, can be extended to a number of general Euler Lagrange systems), they do not require acceleration measurements, and they are independent from the controller. A Lyapunov-based analysis is providd to prove that the developed fault observer converges to the actual fault. Simulation results are provided to illustrate the performance of the detection and identification methods.
Due to the sustained needs for robotic application in remote and hazardous environments, and with emerging applications in medicine and bioengineering for the treatment of disease (often requiring patient-robot interfacing), robot reliability and fault tolerance have received significant interest. Several factors must be considered for robot operation in the presence of a fault. These factors include: detection of the fault; characterization, quantification, and identification of the fault; and then response to the fault by halting the system and/or accomodating for the fault (e.g., through a robust or adaptive controller or through system redundancy).
Fault detection is an enabling technology for fault quantification and accomodation, and hence, has recved significant interest. As described in [36], faults occuring in the space shuttle Remote Manipulator System (RMS) could be inferred if redundant sensors disagreed significantly with the prescribed trajectory or each other. A simple thresholding scheme was used to infer when a fault occurred; hoeever, selection of numerical values for the thresholds proved difficult, and inappropriate choices led to false alarms during missions [36]. Clearly, fault detection will be most effective when more complete dynamic models for the manipulator are considred in the fault detection tests (residuals). In [22], a robust tracking controller/fault detection scheme was proposed that utilized the full dynamic model of the robot manipulator. Unfortunately, the fault detection residuals are based on conservative thresholds, which are obtained by taking the norm of user defined upper bounds for the position and velocity tracking errors. A dynamics-based approach was shown to be effective for certain types of faults in [9], where faults were inferred for a standard industrial robot by monitoring sudden changes in a vector of on-line parameter estimates for the robot. However, the underlying dynamic model was higky simplified (constant inertias, and coupling between joints was neglected), which implies again the need for either conservative thresholds, or again the need for either conservative thresholds, or probable false alarms. A more rigorous approach to the sysnthesis of fault detection residuals was presented in [29], in which the theoretical maximum number of independent residuals were derived for a manipulator with redundant sensing, based on linearized dynamics for the robot. Dynamic thresholds were developed based on full (nonlinea) manipulator dynamics. The results were promising, however the thresholds required the measurement or estimation of manipulator acceleration which is problematic, since for most practical applications the acceleration is numerically generate from position or velocity signals, and hence, the signal is inherently noisy. In [4], a model-based fault detection approach was successfully demonstrated expermientally. This approach was based on the generation of residuals through a filtered torque estimate which does not rely upon the measurement of acceleration quantities. Adaptive and robust detection algorithms were also developed in [4] to take into account possible uncertainty in the robot parameters. Other approaches to manipulator fault detection have included the development of observers [1], [21], [33], neural networks [3], [27], or fuzzy logic [21] for residual generation (see [4] and [28] for a more comprehensive overview of fault detection methods, [2] for an overview of fault characterization and tolerance).
Once the fault(s) has been detected, the next step in designing a fault tolerant system is to identify the fault. Based on the desire to have fault tolerant control, significant work has been focussed on this topic. The different approaches can be determined by the manner by which the output residual signals are generated and if the focus is directed at linear or nonlinear systems. In general there are two types of residual generators, structured and fixed directional [11]. For linear systems, the residuals have been derived in several ways, including: observer-based [7], parity relations [10], [12], eigen structure assignment [19], and identification based. Similar methods have been applied for research applied to nonlinear systems. Some of these approaches have focused on nonlinear observer approaches [8]. Other approaches apply parity relations to the nonlinear problem [13], [14]. In [37], a fault detection and isolation architecture for nonlinear uncertain dynamics systems was presented. This approach utilizes a bank of nonlinear adaptive estimators, one for fault isolation. This approach relies on faults to be smooth functions and full state measurability is required. This approach also relies on adaptive parameter estimates for fault detection and isolation. In [17], the authors consider fault detection and isolation in nonlinear Euler-Lagrange mechanical systems. The approach relies on faults acting as an additive effect on the system dynamics, where exact model knowledge and full state measurability is required. A nonlinear observer with linear error dynamics is used to generate the residual for the fault detection and isolation system. Some researchers have used other tools such as fuzzy logic and artificial neural networks to approximate the models of the system and, or to identify the fault [6], [20], [24], [26],[30], [35].
Various approaches have also been proposed for tolerating failures in robot manipulators. Most approaches have centered on the addition of some form of redundancy (e.g., in actuation [23], [32] joints [15], [18], [22], [25], sensors [], [36] or software [31]), where the system degrades gracefully by using the redundant components. For example, if a manipulator is kinematically redundant, its end-effector task can often still be carried out by the surviving joints following a joint failure [5], [22].
The development in this paper leverages on the research presented in [4] nto further develop a method for robot manipulator fault detection and identification. Specifically, a fault observer and a filtered error signal are developed that do not rely upon the measurement of acceleration quantities. The fault obsserver enables the development of an estimate system which can be compared to the real system through the system states, q(t) and dq(t)/dt. The occurence of a single or a concurrent fault(s) will result in a difference between the two systems, allowing instantaneous detection of the fault. Then the fault observer asymptotically identifies the fault. A system sypervisor could use this information along with knowledge of the system to determine specifically which fault has occurred. When more than one fault occurs on one or multiple joints occurs for a robot applicaiton, the faults can be detected and identified, but the faults that are identified encompasses all faults per joint. These cases would require an advanced system knowledge to determine what specific faults were occurring in the system.
Simulation Results
A numerical simulation was performed to demonstrate the performance of the proposed fault detection and identification system.

A patent is essentially a set of exclusive rights registered to an individual by a government protecting the monopoly right of the inventor or creator of a product of invention (an intellectual concept, formula, invention, or other intellectual property) to own and control that product. In other words, a patent protects the creator or inventor's ownership of his or her work, preventing a competitor or other party from duplicating, selling, or otherwise benefitting from it.
Unfortunately, some people today choose to profit from the creativity and hard work of others. These patent infringers are, in truth, pirates and thieves. This thievery is why patent law exists – to allow creative people to benefit from their own ingenuity by making it a crime to breach a patent.
If you believe that another party is breaking patent law with regard to your intellectual property, we can help. Our patent attorneys can file patent lawsuits over stolen intellectual property, patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, and other intellectual products that can be stolen or copied by the competition.
By retaining the services of a patent lawyer and taking appropriate action with a patent lawsuit, you can pursue necessary compensation and ensure that you retain rightful ownership of your work.

Christine Jonson's latest swatch collection consists of "more than 70 quality knit and woven fabrics. It also includes the fabric information sheet with the content, care, width, stretch and recovery of each fabric."
The price? $6.
IMO, this is simply the best way to learn about fabrics...see them, touch them, feel them (toss them on the bed and roll in them
No affiliation; just a huge believer in fabric swatches for learning about fabrics.
Christine Jonson Swatch Kit -- Edited on 6/8/12 9:05 AM --
------I heart Woo (HimmyCat). Until we meet again, my beautiful little boy. I love you.
Oh damn, I was sleep-typing again!
Thanks, Lynn. I just ordered mine. I was totally unfamiliar with this site, so thanks also for another source for knits. Have you used them?
I have (and do) use Christine's knits! My Beloved Berry Rouge rayon/Lycra knit is one of hers, as well as some prints.
Her swatch packets are the best deal around, enjoy playing with yours!
Thank you LynnRowe, this will be fantastic.
Linda at EmmaOneSock just listed a link for purchasing a Pantone color guide. I just ordered that, too, to help wrestle with this still new-to-me online fabric purchasing.
The link is on the EmmaOneSock home page. -- Edited on 6/11/12 3:17 PM --
------I have no idea what Apple thought I was saying so be a Peach and credit anything bizarre to auto correct.
The Pantone guide is really helpful, especially when the fabric store uses the same guide for color descriptions, as several do.

Hey peeps! You want to know a little bit about me...here goes.
I've been a part of the Blaze family for 15 years. This was the job I wanted to do since I was in the 7th grade. I've gotten to see/meet some of my favorite bands in my 15 years (Alice In Chains, Avenged Sevenfold, Metallica, Sevendust just to name a few), which are definitely some of the biggest highlights of my career (seriously. Lajon Witherspoon from Sevendust thinks I'm a pretty lady. Insert squealing noise here). Being at the Blaze has also been great for me since I met my kickass husband thru the station. Last June I married EJ who helped start the station in 1992 and was here until 2004.
Let's see...other things about me. I'm a very proud Auntie of 3 nieces and 5 nephews. They range in age from 1 to 20, so I've got a big age range to spoil. They are all the greatest kids ever!! (I might be biased). I am a big sports fan. Huskers all the way of course! I love the Atlanta Braves (I was going to marry Chipper Jones when I was 14), The 1980's KC Royals (George Brett is the man!), and I try to follow as many former Huskers in the NFL as I can. Mostly Rex Burkhead and Ndomukong Suh. I am a huge ol' book nerd. If you ever have any book suggestions (or anything else you want to chat about) hit me up at email@example.com or on facebook.
I've been working with the guys over at Max Muscle for a couple years to help me with weight loss and nutrition. Everyone there is a Certified Nutritionist and can answer just about any question I throw at them. Give the guys at Max Muscle a call for your health and fitness questions at (402) 421-4MAX or stop by the store just south of 27th & Pine Lake Road. You can also check them out at maxmusclenebraska.com or on their smartphone app!

Britain's Prince William, right, and Kate, Duchess of Cambridge, hold the Prince of Cambridge, Tuesday July 23, 2013, as they pose for photographers outside St. Mary's Hospital exclusive Lindo Wing in London where the Duchess gave birth on Monday July 22. The Royal couple are expected to head to London?s Kensington Palace from the hospital with their newly born son, the third in line to the British throne.
- Filed Under
LONDON (AP) - Britain's Queen Elizabeth II arrived at Kensington Palace Wednesday to see her new great-grandson, who has spent a first night at home with his parents, Prince William and Kate.
The 87-year-old monarch made a short trip from Buckingham Palace to visit the two-day-old Prince of Cambridge, who is third in line to the throne.
The baby's name hasn't been revealed yet. "We're still working on a name," William told reporters Tuesday as he and Kate took the baby home from St. Mary's Hospital.
Bookmaker William Hill has George - the name of six previous British kings - as the favorite at 2-to-1 odds, with James at 4-to-1.
Images of the prince, his little hand peeking above a white crocheted wrap, blanketed the front pages of British newspapers Wednesday. The Daily Mail offered a photo album image with the headline "Baby's first royal wave."
The prince slept through his debut public appearance - though William assured the media he had "a good pair of lungs on him."
The new family is expected to spend time quietly at Kensington Palace, their London home. As well as choosing a name, William and Kate will soon choose a photographer for the baby's first official portrait.
William has two weeks' paternity leave from his job as a Royal Air Force search-and-rescue helicopter pilot.

The abstract, "Can Nanofabrication be used to Combat Counterfeit Medicines by Applying On-dose Authentication Features without Disrupting the Integrity of the Medicine?" will be presented on Monday, October 15, from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. in Hall F by Bjoern Rosner, director of research and development, brand protection for NanoGuardian.
"Counterfeit medicines have become such a problem that pharmaceutical manufacturers are evaluating how to best ensure the integrity of their medicines for patients early in the drug development process," said Dean Hart, chief commercial officer of NanoGuardian. "The AAPS poster presentation will demonstrate that NanoGuardian's NanoEncryption technology can be used to incorporate highly sophisticated nanoscale, authentication, and tracing features directly on film-coated tablets, gelatin capsules, and vial caps without affecting the dissolution or stability of the medication -- important considerations in the development and commercialization of a new medication."
NanoGuardian's NanoEncryption technology is the only on-dose, multi-layered, brand protection solution that enables pharmaceutical manufacturers to authenticate and trace every single dose, from plant to patient. NanoGuardian's Closed-Loop Protection Program combines the on-dose authentication and tracing benefits of NanoEncryption technology with a proactive supply chain auditing program to identify counterfeit or illegally diverted pharmaceuticals entering the global supply chain as early as possible.
NanoGuardian fights both counterfeiting and illegal diversion with a single technology that can be used to protect capsules, tablets, vial caps, and single-use syringes providing a layered security of overt, covert, and forensic features. The overt and covert security features allow dose-level authentication at any point in the supply chain, while the forensic and nano-scale NanoCodes provide comprehensive tracing information on each and every dose. NanoGuardian's technology provides a strong benefit over other on-dose technologies given that NanoGuardian's security features are implemented with no additional material or chemicals being added to the medication.
As evidence of the rapidly growing problem of counterfeit pharmaceuticals, a recent report from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement noted that the domestic value of counterfeit pharmaceutical seizures in fiscal year 2011 rose by more than $11 million, an increase of almost 200 percent. The implications for victims of counterfeit drugs are extremely serious, often resulting in unexpected side effects, severe allergic reactions and even death.

Strongly recommend anthropologist Andrew Walker's book The Search for the Golden Boat (Hawaii) for anyone spending time on boats, near Mekong landings or near the Mekong in Laos and Thailand. The book examines the transboundary river traders and trade in the region.
Also, take a bunch of Colin Cotterill's 'Dr. Siri' novels (I think there are six of them in paperbound versions right now. The protagonist is the national coroner of Laos and the novels light on all kinds of interesting subjects -- Lao politics, the war, buddhism, re-education camps, etc. all anchored by Dr. Siri's pursuit of the causes of death of a series of characters. Great reads. Cotterill himself is very active in Lao education and health issues. Check out his website.

Has anyone read Ant Egg Soup by a foodie who travels to Laos? Recently this book was recommended to me, but I would love to get some other opinions before I run out and get a copy.

Ant Egg Soup is a nice read. It has several recipes as well. I'd recommend it. The author is a very intrepid traveller and it would be fun to find some of her dishes.

I've recently finished reading Mekong Upstream by Wilfred Burchett. Written in 1959 this is a fantastic look into an interesting period in Laos and Cambian history, with the first half of the book focusing on Cambodia and the second Laos. Part history and part travelogue, if your lucky enough to find this in a second shop I highly recommend it. Very much on an optimistic anti colonial vibe, pro Asian nationalism. Unfortunately we all know how things turned out in these two countries.
Another book on Laos I've read this year is Tragic Mountains. Very good yet depressing read about the Hmong people. Used, abused and essentially forgotten by the USA. More easily available and a bit more of a heavier read. I have to say I am very glad I read it, provides an interesting take on the secret war and the actions of various US governments throughout the 1960's - 80's.
