New robot product announcements at the Toy Fair 2010 were pretty limited compared to past years, but we were delighted to hear that one of our friends, Jim Wyatt, the founder and chief creator at MechRC, will be bringing a new low-cost robotic monkey that sits on your shoulder to market this summer.
Jim jokingly refers to his latest robot as the "cheeky monkey", says it will come with 16 different actions you can trigger using a tiny remote hidden in your pocket. U.S. pricing is expected to be around $20. The little monkey (robot) playing around with the big monkey (Jim) was featured in a NY1 Living Toy Fair news video yesterday.
The monkey robot may seem to be a big departure for MechRC, which up to now has focused on multiple degree of freedom humanoid robots designed for the education and technical hobby markets, but Jim has been deeply involved with toy development at all price points for most of his career.
And, although nothing official has been disclosed, we're assuming that Nick Donaldson, the creative genius behind "Got Robots?" is also involved somehow:
Hacking the monkey robot should be a blast, and at that low price we should be able to afford several. Who knows, maybe we'll be able to put together a literal barrel full of robotic monkeys.

Hey guys,
As some of you might know I'm doing a market study this summer in order to complete my internship so that I can graduate this fall from the University of MN. Part of the market study is to determine where horse owners are getting their information on what to feed their horses. If you could complete the poll it would be really helpful. Feel free to explain or add to your choice!
Thanks for the help!

Pat Dye's Muddy Pantaloons Worth Eight Grand!!!
Let this be a lesson to you, folks. If you're ever walking along, just minding your own business, and come across a pair of muddy pants lying on the ground, don't simply pass them up and carry on your merry way. They could be former Auburn football coach Pat Dye's pants! And they could be worth $8,000!
LAKE MARTIN MAGAZINE has the story: A miss Shannon McDuffie was walking along the shoreline in the Emerald Shores area when she spotted something strange residing in the muddy embankment below, a pair of plaid golf pants. After bringing them home and cleaning them off, she found a wallet inside that contained Dye's ID cards.
Leaving aside the obvious question about what kind of person picks up a pair of used golf pants from the mud in the first place, just how did Pat Dye explain away his lost pants?

Fayruz by syo-senpaiWatch
©2014-2016 syo-senpai
So I had redesigned this character 4-5 times. I think I like how this one turned out. Funny thing is, she is not a main character, or even one that shows up too much. Her name is Fayruz (فيروز), from my Auburngrain Academy comic, and is part of the same house hold as Zaki who... I havent shown yet. Hahaha. ;
Cool Genie
this is really really amazing o_O!
OMG Reminds of of Ryoko from Tenchi Muyo I love it!!!!!
I'm glad you like it.
I don't think she's a student.
Hahaha, no, she is not
Fayruz (فيروز) is boy name but is fine and art is nice too
Is it? There is a singer named Fayruz (or Fairouz or Fayrouz or Fairuz) spelt فيروز that is female. I also triple checked on various baby name sites that say it is also a feminine Persian name. However, even if it is male, I doubt she would care.

With the offseason officially underway, SDS will examine what's next for spring football for all 14 teams. Next up, Missouri.
What's changing
It's debatable whether the loss of offensive coordinator David Yost is good or bad, and time can only answer that question. But Yost bailed on the Tigers after a forgettable and frustrating 2012, and Gary Pinkel promoted Josh Henson to be the next coordinator. Henson has a stronger background, having coached under Les Miles in more of a power-run scheme as opposed to Yost's spread. No matter the offense the Tigers decide to ultimately run, Henson's job this spring is getting the 2011 James Franklin back. Along with getting Franklin healthy, he needs a healthy offensive line and Henry Josey. Missouri has the receivers in place for a quarterback who can sling the rock, but Franklin left doubts in everyone's mind about his senior season. Could the Maty Mauk era be close to getting underway?
Position of concern
There's no question that all eyes are on the offensive line. After such a rough and devastating season, the linemen are of utmost importance. Obviously, the struggles were mostly attributed to injuries, but it exposed Missouri's lack of depth and impact players at the position. Not every team has three or four solid reserve offensive linemen sitting around either, and the injuries suffered in '12 will make the line better and more experienced this year. The Tigers get back Travis Ruth and Taylor Chappell, who both suffered season ending injuries. Inexperienced Evan Boehm and Brad McNulty were thrown into the fire as a result of the attrition, but they return more experienced because of it. This position stands to have a better 2013, and the cohesiveness as a unit starts this spring.
Emerging spring player prediction
I'm going to keep it cliché, but receiver Dorial Green-Beckham looked to be blossoming in the later portion of last year. And he's set for not only a breakout spring, but an impact fall, too. The biggest thing that will hold back DGB's development will be a Tigers' offense like 2012 that can't get him the ball. DGB will be the focus of the spring for the Tigers from a personnel point.
Three signees to be excited about
1. Chase Abbington, RB: Abbington is listed as an athlete or a safety, but he'll likely become the Tigers' big running back of the future. Listed at 6-2, 190 pounds, Abbington's size bodes well for Josh Henson to install a more downhill rushing attack.
2. Josh Augusta, DT: SEC games are won in the trenches, and Missouri picked up a very good prospect from Illinois in Augusta. Gary Pinkel has a history of developing defensive linemen, and Augusta could be the next great one.
3. Eddie Printz, QB: I know Missouri's roster is a stacked house at quarterback, and Printz isn't even the top-rated incoming quarterback in his own recruiting class. But this kid can ball, and he has an electric arm. Watch out for Printz in the future as a passer.
Needs Improving
Missouri's offense in 2012 was downright putrid. After finishing as the 12th best offense in the country in '11, they finished just 98th for an encore. Injuries played a part, and I'm not buying that "SEC defenses" had everything to do with it. The whole offense was out of sync. The only weapon was Kendial Lawrence, and James Franklin never looked healthy or confident. Likewise, Corbin Berkstresser looked ill prepared, and that reflects coaching. David Yost's depature isn't such a bad thing, and Josh Henson stands to do more with less. Getting a healthy offensive line, quarterback and Henry Josey back is massive in terms of development and progress for Henson this spring.

The Good News: Cole Hamels loves pitching at Great American Ball Park. He made his big-league debut here in 2006, when he threw a one-hitter in five innings. He struck out 15 in a memorable complete game in 2007, which turned around the team's 4-11 start on its way to the National League East title.
The Bad News: He needs to pitch well today (and the offense needs to hit and the defense needs to play smart), or the Phillies drop three of four to the Reds to fall to 2-5 before they open a three-game series tomorrow afternoon against the Mets at Shea Stadium.
Hey, times could be worse.
They could be the Tigers.

All I know is that it is getting hotter on average as far back as human records go. With it getting hotter things are happening and not neccessarily things that are compatible with our lifestyle today. Let's say we are not the sole creators of the extra heat - fine - we still need to prepare and try our part to do something about it. Personally, I believe that we are partially responsible for it and that the Earth does go through natural warming and cooling periods.
Kind of like responding to a lightning caused forrest fire and throwing gasoline on it.

Ubaldo Jimenez needs time to heal or risk getting seriously hurt. That was the motivation behind the team placing the Rockies' ace on the disabled list Wednesday with a right thumb cuticle injury.
Jimenez didn't fight his first-ever stint on the DL, realizing he can't be effective or safe without a proper grip on his fastball.
"It might look and seem like a little thing, but I still feel it every time I throw and grip the ball. In the end, I could damage my arm," said Jimenez, who is eligible to return on April 17. "Nobody wants that."
Greg Reynolds, the second overall pick in the 2006 draft, takes Jimenez's spot in a juggled rotation. Esmil Rogers makes his season debut today against the Pirates at PNC Park before a sellout crowd, followed by Jorge De La Rosa, Reynolds and Jhoulys Chacin. Jimenez was scheduled to throw a side session Wednesday, but instead played light catch and performed strengthening exercises.
The 27-year-old admitted he began aiming the ball on opening day against the Diamondbacks. He had little command, and low velocity — his fastball sat around 88 to 92 mph, compared to his normal 94 to 100 mph. Worse, his arm began to feel sore once he adjusted his mechanics. He was tagged for six runs in six innings.
"It feels much better now, but that's not something we wanted to risk," said Jimenez, who accompanied the team on the road trip to continue treatment. "It's disappointing. But I don't want to be out there if I can't help my team."
He will continue to treat the cuticle cut on the inner part of his thumb with antibiotic soap and moisturizing balm. The injury is a concern because it happened twice last year and again on March 2 in spring training. Jimenez was able to successfully pitch through the problem a year ago, which is why he thought he would be fine against the Diamondbacks last week.
Because of his inordinately long fingers, Jimenez places his thumb underneath the baseball rather than on the side. As such, the seams rub when he releases each pitch, particularly his four-seam fastball and sinker.
"Ubaldo is our ace but, at the same time, we need him healthy. We don't want to lose him for two months. This is a smart decision," outfielder Carlos Gonzalez said. "It was no fun for anyone to see Ubaldo try to throw 88 (mph) when you know he's not right. We need the real Ubaldo."

Big second half for Bears Flegg
12 Aug 2005: The North Sydney Jersey Flegg side has continued to improve and look to the 2006 season in its last home match of the season.
The World Sevens And It's Relevance
IT is an unfortunate situation that the League World Sevens faced last year. The Sydney media in their promotion of the game chose to focus almost entirely on the lack of star power in many of the sevens teams, led by the outspoken Steve Folkes, who named a less than premier league strength side for the competition, while several other sides withheld their stars. By kickoff first day, only Parramatta, Wests and the Warriors had named full strength lineups, while most teams mixed a handful of first graders with their lower grade players. This almost single handedly led to the reduced attendance of the sevens in 2004, with 10,000 less fans walking through the gates this year compared to last.
Almost a Fairytale!
I am going to jog all your memories back to recall three amazing finals charges that reaped no silverware. All three clubs were written off by the ?experts? but forced the critics to eat humble pie. As a supporter I found all three ?near fairytales? inspiring.

Round 25 Preview ? One chair left
THIS round of footy provides for some intriguing results. We?ve got seven definite semi-finalists allowing for up to five contenders for the remaining spot. That?s somewhat amusing considering the fanfare surrounding the top 8 resembling a game of musical chairs. Even more so given that this week the Sea Eagles can reach out and stop the tape deck by defeating New Zealand and thus stopping the game a week short of it?s expected expiry.
Round 24 Team of the Week
ANOTHER great round of league has produced a star-studded line-up for this week. With the Tigers in strong form as well as the Dragons, Eels and Knights there is plenty of competition for places. With Souths, Cronulla and Penrith also picking up valuable victories it makes the Round 24 League Unlimited Team of the Week a very diverse one with plenty of points in them ? 117 in total! There were only two players picked who didn?t cross the stripe of put it between the posts. But I?m sure we can all forgive Luke Bailey and John Skandalis who get through enough work each Sunday to

So let me set the scene…Monday evening 7:30 pm-ish I was hanging up the kids laundry in their room while they were playing in the floor. There was only a few toys on the floor because I had just cleaned. K had Iron Man's fire blast (a small 2 inch long toy approx a fingers width around) I asked P to take it from her and he did his usual snatch from her and I went back to hanging their clothes. 10-15 minutes goes by and K had crawled across the floor and was now playing with a different toy when she began to make a choking, gagging sound. First reaction, swipe her mouth with my finger, a usual for K as she is putting EVERYTHING in her mouth these days. But nothing!! She keeps choking so I start beating her back and go running for Gma. K threw up her peas from earlier and kept choking while she had a ton on spit bubble covered slobber pouring out of her mouth, around her eyes turning red and watering. Gma called 911, the fire truck showed up and by then she was acting okay. They said they recommended an ambulance ride to the hospital to check her out, so we did! Had an xray done but being a possible plastic toy it is not visible on an xray so after hours of waiting at Cooks Children's we were told it will probably pass. We had her "diaper rash" checked out again and it is actually MSRA (a staff infection) and she has possible ring worm or just dry skin don't know for sure yet. So we left the hospital, got home around 12:30-1 am started looking for the toy and still no where to be found. Thankfully though Gma found it yesterday morning so we do not know if K swallowed some mystery item or if it is possible she was "choking" on well her own spit?? All is fine she seems to be pooping regular and we are creaming her up for the MSRA and possbile ring worm. Oh boy Mommy had her first ambulance ride with K so thought it would be P. All is well now but thought I would share with everyone.
OMG it feels like forever since I have had time to write…2 kids definitely more work ;) Karsyn had her 6 month well baby yesterday and we were all so shocked she is 14 lbs 15.6 oz and 26.5 inches it just sounds sooo big!!! I went back this morning and looked at Preston's 6 month figures he was the exact same length and 5.6 oz smaller in weight. We were all so sure Karsyn was bigger but I guess it just shows how quickly you forget. Now only 2 weeks till Karsyn gets her ears pierced, YAY!!! We talked to the pediatrician yesterday about Preston he has been having night terrors again on a daily basis. Apparently there is nothing we can do but let him grow out of them they are normal for some kids he said. Got a print out of some info and gonna have to start doing some tough love discipline to try and break the tantrums he is throwing and to get him to lay down to sleep alone. Gonna be some loooong days coming up. Overall Preston is great though, he has started eating again and gained almost a pound in 2 weeks. Wes has been in vacation this week, we decided to do a stay-cation since the kids are so young and we are going on a 3 night "vacation" to Austin for Steven Joe's wedding with no kids!! It will be my first time to leave either of my babies but I know it will be best for me & them just wish Gma luck I hope they behave :) This last week we have been to Legoland, Rainforest Cafe, The Dallas World Aquarium, Jump Houses, Hawaiian Falls, and so many fun places it was the greatest, Preston had a blast!!!

So I have waited a few days because well I was in disbelief but Karsyn is pretty much sitting!! I'm sooo sad and happy at the same time. She is good for 5 minutes or so if there are no distractions. She is good at catching herself when she starts to wobble but if you are standing above her or if Preston distracts her she will still fall over. I can't believe 5 months and she is already sitting. It will make some things easier though, just can't believe how big she is getting!! Preston is a wonderful big brother, he is getting better at sharing but it is still a daily struggle. He is still as stubborn as can be with everything but he is shocking us every day with new words like mustache and ladder that we never knew he knew. Still can't believe they are growing so fast, just means I must be getting old ;)

Karsyn had her 1 week pediatrician appt today. All is well she is now 20 in long, grew a little over 1 in in 1 week, and is 6 lb 9.5 oz so she is well over her birth weight already. The dr said she looks perfect and because she has already gained so much weight we don;t go back till she is 1 month old. Karsyn is doing perfect, take her in for her 2nd newborn screening tomorrow and then we are done with appts for a bit.

Went back to the hospital today for Karsyn's bilirubin check up and lactation consultation. All is well her bilirubin/Jaundice level is in the low risk zone. The nurse said no worries she is looking good. We weighed her to see how much she is eating etc. She was born 6 lbs 4.5 oz, left the hospital saturday at 6 lbs 2.2 oz and today she weighed 6 lbs 5.8 oz. She has already passed her birth weight and I was told this is very good. The nurse then weighed her again after she nursed and she took 1 1/2 oz of milk in one feeding and only nursed on one side. I guess we have ourselves a little eater :) All is well Preston is enjoying his new sister and even tried to say Karsyn today. He is being so sweet he just doesn't realize he is a little to rough still but working on it.

Had our 39 week prenatal appt today, Karsyn's heart rate was 148, I gained 8 lbs in the last week now sitting @ 146 lbs. OB is concerned that I gained weight but my belly measurement shrunk 6 cm. Apparently is quite a bit. All is well though she is still moving we are just watching her weight closer. No change in dilation or effacement. Just waiting for Karsyn. Will keep everyone posted!!

Had our 38 week prenatal appt today, lost 1 lb no 138 lbs. All is well my OB keeps asking if I want to schedule an induction and I keep telling him no. I don;t understand why some doctors are so willing to induce. I am waiting no rush even as miserable as it can be some times. All is well we have stalled at 1.5 dilated and 30% effaced but we will see hopefully something will happen before next monday. Just waiting for Karsyn to decide to drop and come.

There was a lot of hammering, fire and smoke in the air last weekend as the California Blacksmith Association (CBA) held its 35th annual spring conference in Placerville.
Almost 400 people from Arizona, Washington state, Nevada, Oregon and California arrived to pound iron and learn more about the art and craft of blacksmithing, according to Dennis Dusek, who is vice president of the CBA and one of the coordinators of the conference.
"Some of the best in the world in metal workers are here," he said. "People have been coming up to me and saying this is the best conference they've ever seen considering the amount of equipment and quality of instruction."
Both blacksmiths and farriers were represented at the conference, with many filling both shoes. In the past, farriers not only shod horses but also repaired and made tools. Today, farriers primarily work in the area of equine care and blacksmiths are the tool makers and artisans.
In the fairground pavilions themselves, portable forges — some fueled with propane but most with coal or coke — were lined up from end to end as people carried out demonstrations, competed, or pounded away on hot steel to turn out a tool or decorative object.
One of those hammering away was Erin Simmons, who is a local blacksmith and farrier with much of his business devoted to creating tools for other blacksmiths. Considered one of the best in the business, he along with Michelle Russell, a Pilot Hill farrier and Josh Buhlert, one of the coordinators of the conference, formed a threesome as they rhythmically hammered a piece of red-hot metal into shape.
Across the way, Tom Ferry, a master knife maker from Washington, taught classes on how to make Damascus steel. Particularly valued in knives, Damascus steel involves forge welding two or more types of steel together to form a laminate-type material. The process results in knives that are valued for their strength as well as beauty.
Another popular demonstrator was Richard Bent, a self-taught blacksmith from the United Kingdom. Bent holds several titles, including Eminent Master Blacksmith, Freeman of the City of London, Worshipful Company of Blacksmiths of London, and Fellow of the Worshipful Company of Blacksmiths. In front of a rapt audience, he demonstrated what earned him all those titles, including a silver medal for workmanship, as he made different tools with just a hammer and his hands.
Other demonstrations included how to make sand castings and patterns to restore antique machinery by mechanical engineer Joe Harralson; a collaborative project building a railing for a small set of stairs led by John Barron of Georgetown; and crafting decorative works of art that might fit on the end of a railing, fence or andiron by artisans Mark Aspery and Darryl Nelson.
While the conference suffered through some rain, it did nothing to dampen people's spirits, even though many of those attending were camped out at the fairgrounds for the weekend.
Herb Upham, who is the secretary of the CBA wryly explained that, "The rain we had was due to having demonstrators from the U.K. and Washington state. We had to bring some familiar weather for them."
Competitions and a gallery show
Along with the demonstrations and educationals were individual and team competitions for both youths and adults. In one contest, youths competed to forge one side of a pair of tongs within a certain time period and in another they had to create a design of their own with limited help from a Master blacksmith.
One of the more interesting competitions was called a captured rock contest in which participants had to design and forge a way to suspend a rock that was both functional and artistic. Rocks of different shapes were supplied that weighed from 3 to 30 pounds each.
Showing off the finished products of many of the blacksmiths was a building converted into a gallery. One of those featured was Tony Swatton, who has a company called the Sword and the Stone. Swatton creates handcrafted historically accurate pieces, such as arms, armour and props for television, film and collectors. On display were two of his exquisitely detailed helmets.
Also featured was a display of art gifted to Linda Murphy who previously worked for a magazine put out by the Artist Blacksmiths Association of North America. She said after she suffered a stroke in 2009, blacksmiths from all over the world sent her pieces of their work to wish her well. She showed pictures of how all those pieces of art are displayed in her garden.
Her advice to parents was, "Give a 16-year-old an anvil, not a car, and they will have art and friends for the rest of their lives."
That same sense of camaraderie and appreciation for their craft pervaded the conference.
Toby Hickman, who has been a blacksmith for over 40 years, summed it up in his conference guide comments when he said, "Artistic development, business understanding — all that stuff has been an adaptation to allow me to continue to hit hot steel. It's the thing that makes me feel good. It's the feeling of the impact, swinging something heavy and hitting something that yields to that — and yields to it in a way that you intended it to. Just bashing around on hot steel can get to be too much work, but if you actually see something forming under hand, there is an enormous emotional reward."

Edouard Roditi
Édouard Roditi (Paris, 6 June 1910 – Cadiz, Spain, 10 May 1992[1]) was an American poet, short-story writer and translator.[2] He was educated in England at Charterhouse and Balliol College, Oxford,[3] and at the University of Chicago.[4]
His father was a Sephardic Jewish native of Istanbul, but American citizen.[5] Édouard Roditi studied in France, England, Germany and the USA.
Roditi published several volumes of poetry, short stories, and art criticism. He was also well regarded as a translator, and translated into English original works from French, German, Spanish, Danish and Turkish. He was for instance one of the first translators of Saint-John Perse in English in 1944.
In 1961, he translated Yaşar Kemal's epic novel İnce Memed (1955) under the English title Memed, My Hawk. This book was instrumental in introducing the famed Turkish writer to the English-speaking world. Memed, My Hawk is still in print.
In addition to his poetry and translations, Roditi is perhaps best remembered for the numerous interviews he conducted with modernist artists, including Marc Chagall, Joan Miró, Oskar Kokoschka, Philippe Derome and Hannah Höch. Several of these have been assembled in the collection Dialogues on Art.

MICCAI 2016, the 19th International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention, will be held from October 17th to 21st, 2016 in Istanbul, Turkey. MICCAI 2016 is organized in collaboration with Bogazici, Sabanci, and Istanbul Technical Universities.
ICPR 2016 will be an international forum for discussions on recent advances in the fields of Pattern Recognition; Machine Learning and Computer Vision; and on applications of these technologies in various fields.
Special Issue on Pattern Recognition Techniques on Data Mining
The growth in the amount of available data makes necessary the development of tools to handle such huge data bases that, in addition, can be complex (time-series data or images). It is necessary to fully exploit this data by extracting all the useful information from it. However it is impractical to manually analyze, explore, and understand the data. As a result, useful information is often overlooked, and the potential benefits of increased computational and data gathering capabilities are only partially attained.
Special Issue on Advances in Graph-based Pattern Recognition
Graph is an important class of representations in pattern recognition. Graph-based representation and learning/inference algorithms have been widely applied to structural pattern recognition and image analysis, such as image segmentation, shape recognition, scene parsing, document analysis, social network mining, and so on. On the other hand, the application needs in network era have posed new challenges to graph-based pattern recognition, such as matching for large graphs, automatic learning of graph models, inference in graphical models incorporating multi-source knowledge and contexts, applications to practical large and noisy data, and so on.
Special Executable Issue on "Mobile Iris CHallenge Evaluation II (MICHE II)" to be published in the journal Pattern Recognition Letters
The first Special Issue, namely MICHE I, aims to promote the "reproducible research" issue. In a second phase, namely MICHE II, the collected datasets will be used to build an integrated test-bed for a challenge which will be accessible for both original authors and new groups. Even in this phase, all participants will have to submit a software implementation of the proposed methods, together with all the parameterizations required to execute the software, and descriptive metadata that will be detailed in the upload page.

This week marked the St. Louis Zoo's public kick-off of its planned expansion. The zoo sits on nearly 100 acres within Forest Park in the City of St. Louis. The purchase of the 13.5 acre former Forest Park Hospital immediately across I-64 provides the zoo with a rare opportunity. The site is also a significant challenge, as it is not contiguous with the existing zoo and sits within the city's residential Dogtown neighborhood. Recognizing the potential impact of the project on the neighborhood, park and city, the zoo has sought public input from the point expansion became a possibility.
The open house presented attendees with four stations aimed at imagining the potential of various areas of focus: Attract, Enhance, Connect, Support. While not mutually exclusion, each provided a framework to envision very divergent possible outcomes for the 13.5 acre project. Yet, by far the most engaging part of the open house were the zoo employees. They listened to ideas from all comers, and offered many of their own. They were dreaming as well. This was only step one, but this is how a public planning process should work.
So what did you see if you attended the open house?
Attract: entice, interest, appeal. Exhibit expansion. New attractions. This is where the big dreams lay: a 10-story Ferris Wheel, an aquarium, iconic animal enclosures and experiences, a zoo waterpark, zip lines and more. Have a big idea? Think the zoo could use a new iconic structure? This is where it could happen. The land here is much less restricted than within Forest Park. An aquarium has been a popular idea in some circles for years. Should it be downtown? On the riverfront? This location is one opportunity if a truly significant project is desired. If it happens, a unique hook could be a freshwater river aquarium – seems fitting for the confluence of the Mississippi and Missouri and could provide incredible research and education opportunities.
Enhance: improve, enrich, develop. Neighborhood and Community Amenities. This is a focus on added to and complimenting the existing zoo and park: sculpture park, community market, boutique hotel, playground, dog park, retail development, community garden, amphitheater and more. This is where a community can come together and the project can augment the zoo and neighborhood. All are good ideas, but it would seem an especially attractive site for a signature zoo/Forest Park hotel with retail development connected to existing retail along Clayton Avenue.
Connect: join, link, bring together. Traffic. Circulation. Bridges. Streetscape. Here, the Zoo recognizes the barrier that is I-64. The challenge here is likely to combine pedestrian and automated people mover access. Why not aspire to the pedestrian bridge over the Craigieburn Bypass Freeway in Australia? While the earliest rendering for the site showed a monorail, it seems likely that the solution will be more modest. A practical and fun idea was echoed by several visitors: simply expand the zoo train across a new bridge and onto the new site. One issue the zoo hopes to address is parking and traffic and having a fun and familiar attraction would lead many visitors to park at the new site.
Another idea, offered by a zoo representative and loudly echoed by those in the conversation was to create places and moments for people along any new pedestrian connection in the form of nests for native birds, bee hives, or other small animal exhibits. This could also be an ideal place for the zoo to offer information about the impact of Interstate highways on animal habitat and populations. And with soon-to-be three dedicated zoo parking areas, should they explore smart parking technology, perhaps directing those exiting I-64 to the nearest open parking?
Support: sustain, assist, reinforce. Zoo Operations. Research. Conservation. Education. Parking. Here's the practical side, behind the scenes operations and zoo support. Could the animal nutrition and food prep facility move here? Veterinary facilities? Small-animal breeding? This could be the side of a solar array, new research and education facilities, a transit hub. Basically there's a whole lot to a zoo other than the, well, zoo. With demolition of nearly the entire Forest Park Hospital facility anticipated, this 13.5 acres can be just about anything.
The open house comment form will be available online until Wednesday, December 19, 2012 – just follow this link: https://s.zoomerang.com/s/stlzooexpansionsurvey. You can also submit comments to the project team via email at firstname.lastname@example.com. The next public event will be held in Spring 2013.
{the Forest Park Hospital (orange) adds 13.5 acres to the zoo's existing 103 acres (blue)}
The zoo expansion has been the subject of a What Should Be series on this site. The zoo has been presented with the following planning visions from the nextSTL.com community and a number of ideas have been included in the early stages of the framwork plan.
What Should Be: River Aquarium and BRT Station at Forest Park Hospital Site
What Should Be: CHAIR – the Campus for Human and Animal Interaction Research
What Should Be: A Mixed-Use Vision for the Forest Park Hospital Site

Update on NadezhdaNadezhda has been involved in growing vegetables on her own plot of land in the Vodyanoye village for 14 years. Because Nadezhda's parents are from Vodyanoye, she too has been familiar with agriculture since childhood. She and her husband used to live in Energodar, both of them worked, but did not have enough money. Then, they sold their apartment and purchased a house in the Vodyanoye village. Nadezhda and her husband built greenhouses together and continue to develop their business. They have 4 heated greenhouses for tomatoes, 10 small ones for radishes and two greenhouses for seedlings. They installed another greenhouse this year and need to cover it.
Nadezhda hopes to install another greenhouse and needs 40 000 hryvnia for this purpose. Nadezhda has about a hectare of land, so she has space to grow her business. She wants to expand her business and build more greenhouses. In the meantime, they grow wheat for their animal husbandry business, but plan to build greenhouses there and expand more.
Надежда хочет поставить еще одну теплицу, для чего ей нужно 40 000 гривен. У Надежды есть около гектара земли, то есть ей есть куда развиваться. Она хочется расширять бизнес и строить еще теплицы. Пока на свободной земле выращивают пшеницу для животноводства, но в планах строить там теплицы и развиваться.
Previous Loan DetailsNadezhda used her previous Kiva loan to buy polyethylene sheeting and seeds for her greenhouses. She is turning to Kiva once again because she need an additional 10,000 UAH for seeds, 5,000 UAH for drip irrigation, and 5,000 UAH to buy sheeting so she can maintain her greenhouses and raise the s...

Additional Information
About HOPE UkraineHOPE International, a Christian faith-based non-profit organization, has been operating in Ukraine since 1997. HOPE Ukraine was the organization's first international venture. In addition to its core microfinance activities, HOPE also supports an active children's ministry in Ukraine in the form of "Tomorrow Clubs," after-school programs that teach children the gospel through games, skits and songs.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

Dont waste your money
Game Score: (0/5)You like the film you, you think the game suck on pc,x360 and ps3 then you will hate the psp version have fun
Game Score: (3/5)I sure you love the movie, but if youre looking for a decent movie/action game, better keep looking. You play a Navi hunter, taking revenge upon the squishy pink beings who stumbled upon pandora (sounds badass dosent it?)
The game has you track down and take revenge upon some army genral guy. (who's name I cant remember) killing stuf along the way, thus sees you shooting alot of stuf with arrows and generally hitting things.
Yet the game and its storyline is'nt what sucks about this game. Its the lack of polish, the slow moving graphics, unattention to detail, enimies lack variety... etc. etc.
Throught the whole game it feels like its just been slaped together to look ok, relying upon the movie to get some crap onto our psp's.

Reforming L.A.'s Parking Tickets
Jennifer Sabih: We've all experienced that sickening feeling when you get back to your car and there's an envelope wedged into the windshield wiper of your car. Then the shock when you open it to see it's $63 dollars for an expired meter violation in Los Angeles. And then the resignation because you figure you can't fight city hall. Well we're about to meet two guys who say, 'Oh yes you can!'
Jennifer Sabih: This is Jay Beeber and Steve Vincent. To the public they're heroes, to the politicians, a thorn in their sides. Jay though, has already fought city hall and won.
Jay Beeber: I'm primarily the person who got rid of the red light cameras in Los Angeles. And after I did that most people came up to me and said that was great, you know what you should do next? You should take on parking because that's a real problem for a lot of people.
Jennifer Sabih: What is the problem, Steve Vincent?
Steve Vincent: It's treated as a revenue stream for the general fund and not as a service of the city. It's simply to raise money to cover the budget deficit, it has nothing to do with parking enforcement or scofflaws or any of that.
Jennifer Sabih: With the help of social media, Beeber and Vincent have revved up L.A. drivers--put pedal to the medal-- and vow they won't hit the brakes until there's major reform of the City's parking ticket system. What do they want? First lower the parking fines.
Jay Beeber: The fines are ridiculously high.
Steve Vincent: $62 or $73 or $90 something for a ticket -- for many people that's more than what they earn in an entire day.
Jennifer Sabih: Myra Jones couldn't agree more.
Myra Jones: The meters are ridiculous. They don't give you no time, they just walk around and sit here and wait. L.A. is just greedy.
Jennifer Sabih: Other proposals include discounts if you pay within 48 hours and a tiered system where the first violation would be just $23, the median hourly wage for L.A. workers.
Jay Beeber: And then if you get another one in the same year maybe it goes up to 40 some odd dollars. And then if you get another it would go higher to some maximum level.
Jennifer Sabih: We all know what it's like to get, but what is it like to givea parking ticket. For that side of the story, we took a ride with a Los Angles parking enforcement officer.
Officer Enrique DeLaCruz: I don't get upset when they start calling me names because I know they are upset I just gave them a ticket.
Jenifer Sabih: Officer Enrique DeLaCruz has been patrolling the streets of L.A. for eight years. And it doesn't take more than riding a few blocks in his back seat to know he's one of the good guys. Still, he's aware most people don't see him that way.
Enrique DeLaCruz: Usually they're not too happy to see you. You have to have a thick skin to do this job.
Jennifer Sabih: What is the average amount of tickets you give out in a day?
Enrique DeLaCruz: I would say between 15 to 20.
Jennifer Sabih: L.A. city officers wrote a staggering 2.5 million tickets last year-- adding up to nearly $160 million. The majority of that going into the city's general fund to pay for municipal services, including police and fire. But the parking reformers say that's not fair. They want to spend the money instead on sidewalk repairs, updated meters, and better yet, adding more parking places.
Steve Vincent: It cannot continue to be the way that basic city services are funded.
Jennifer Sabih: Surprisingly, some councilmembers agreed.
Councilmember Mike Bonin: I think in the last few years during the budget crisis the city took the approach there's gold in the gutter and let's use parking revenue to fill the city's coffers. But I think we've probably gone a little bit too far in that direction.
Jennifer Sabih: The council member who chairs Budget and Finance admits separating parking revenue from the general budget will force the city to make up the lost millions in other ways-- taxes or cuts in services. Still Paul Krekorian told me, the city should, and could do it.
Paul Krekorian: Parking ticket revenue taken as a whole is not such a large part of the budget that it would be devastating.
Jennifer Sabih: Another goal of the reformers: Make it easier to fight tickets. Now you first have to call the number on the ticket envelope or go to their website. But it may surprise you to know the person you deal with is a subcontractor of the Xerox Corporation. Los Angeles uses Xerox to outsource much of its parking ticket processing.
Steve Vincent: Xerox is providing the hand held devices that the parking enforcement officers use and the software technology that goes on those devices and they are involved in the adjudication process as well.
Jay Beeber: The way it works is that Xerox gets a small fee every time they process a ticket. Then they also get a fee if you don't pay your ticket. It's to the advantage of Xerox if somebody gets a ticket, that's the bottom line.
Steve Vincent: It didn't feel right, didn't smell right...and we wondered if there was something wrong. Well, the judge recently ruled that the city had been allowing Xerox to do those first initial reviews and that's against state law.
Jennifer Sabih: The judge wrote in a tentative ruling in July that the city, as issuing agency, must conduct the initial review, and may not delegate that task to Xerox.
Until the case is settled it's business as usual. And fighting a parking ticket in L.A. is a soul-numbing, time-consuming hassle. Just ask taxi driver Linden Killam who got a ticket parking his cab a residential street. But when he looked at his ticket, he noticed something was missing. So a few days later, he went to the website to see what he owed.
Linden Killam: And online it said the balance for this ticket was 0 dollars and 0 cents so I ignored it, I figured it was a warning.
Jennifer Sabih: Two months later he got a bill for $181. So he asked for a review. A Xerox subcontractor denied that request, saying he was too late. So he asked the city for a hearing. The city said no.
Linden Killam: So my only option now is to go to Superior court, which I have. My case will be heard December 8.
Bonin: How to pay a parking ticket, whether to pay a parking ticket, or contest a parking ticket shouldn't be herculean battle with red tape.
Steve Vincent: The current system that we have now will not exist a year from now. It will be completely different.
Jennifer Sabih: What makes them so sure? Well about a year ago, the duo started a ballot measure to bring parking reform to the people. But they put their campaign on pause when Mayor Garcetti invited them to be a part of the Parking Reform Working Group.
Jay Beeber: If the city doesn't adopt a significant amount of change, then we're just gonna go to the ballot, so one way or another there's going to be change. It's a foregone solution...absolutely going to happen. No question about it.
Myra Jones: They don't believe in sweet talking around here..even if you're cute and put on lipstick.
Jennifer Sabih: But when it comes to persuading parking officials...neither it seems can find the technique to move them.
Myra Jones: I've tried it all. I even got a boob job and it didn't work.
Jennifer Sabih: I'm Jennifer Sabih for "SoCal Connected."

Have you ever parked your car in Los Angeles only to return to a hefty fine placed on your windshield?
You might have unwillingly parked a vehicle in a restricted zone, or failed to notice a street sweeping sign.
But what really goes on behind the scenes? Who's responsible for issuing tickets, and what can people do to contest the fines?
Jennifer Sabih speaks to city officials, parking enforcement, and parking reform organizations to find out whether the city needs to reform and address its parking policies.

It's hard to really imagine getting used to calling the Pens super center Sidney Crosby a 'dirty' player. With his humongous 15 PIMs this season, and the fact every camera watches him during the game, I think I would have seen more evidence to back this up.
However, in the game against the Rangers you can see in this video that Sid definitely gets a skate under Rangers forward Ryan Callahan as the two are rushing down the ice. This type of trip is referred to as a 'slew foot' in which a player trips another player by kicking their foot out from behind.
So, yeah, it's a dirty play and Sid definitely got caught trying to pull a fast one.
No penalty was called on Crosby; Callahan got two minutes for interference.
With a little over five minutes remaining in the first period of the Penguins' 3-1 win, Crosby and Callahan jostled while skating toward the Penguins zone. As they skated entangled over the blue line, Crosby appeared to place his skate behind Callahan's as he knocked his opponent to the ice.
"That's a dirty play," Rangers center Brandon Dubinsky said of Crosby in a broadcast interview during the first intermission. "He's a guy who tries to get away with a lot of that stuff. He complains a lot." After the game, Dubinsky was still seething, but tried to bite his tongue. "I don't want to sit here and talk about (Crosby) any more. It's awful." [via]
