Jose Lima, RIP
Life is fleeting. I was reminded of that yesterday with the news of Jose Lima's passing away at age 37 from a heart attack. It was eerie to me because I just saw him at the Dodgers game on Friday night. He was in the crowd, sitting above the Dodgers dugout, and they showed a little video tribute to him on the big screen and he got up to salute the crowd. This pic is from that night. My boyfriend Dave was with me at the game because it was Star Wars night (post on that coming soon) and he asked me who that was, and I recalled this story for him.
2 Comments
My memories of that game are also so vivid. I was there on Friday too when they put Jose on Dodger Vision. Friday night was a fun game with the Star Wars theme. I am glad Jose was there. He was so looking forward to being at the upcoming Dodger Golf tournament.
Rest in peace Jose Lima.
Emma, it was an unforgettable game fer sure. Star Wars night was fun. I have to get my pics from Dave and will blog about it tonight hopefully. We got in late like 3rd inning due to our friends forgetting their tix (luckily will call reprinted them) so I didnt get time to text you. Hopefully we meet up at the Cards/Dodgers games soon!

New Vt. task force sets sights on fugitives
MONTPELIER Earlier this month, a team of seven deputy U.S. marshals, state police troopers and other officers surrounded a mobile home in Hardwick after learning a man charged with murder in the killing of a Florida teenager might be living there.
When officers knocked on the front door, the rear door opened and a barefoot and barely clothed suspect ran out the back, where he stumbled trying to flee, said Deputy U.S. Marshal John Curtis.
Typically people love to run, said Curtis, who was waiting out back and quickly took Philip Barr into custody. Fortunately for the marshals service were just taught well. For these people, they run and theyre caught.
Barr is now in a Vermont prison before his return to Florida. His capture was a high-profile apprehension for the new Vermont Violent Offender Task Force, which began operations Oct. 1. The unit is made up of about 10 deputy U.S. marshals working out of Rutland and Burlington, a full-time state police trooper and, when the University of Vermont isnt in session, an officer from the UVM police force.
U.S. marshals in Vermont previously were focused on federal fugitives, said Marshal David Demag. Weve retooled. Now were dealing with the Vermont Violent Offender Task Force, which also focuses on habitual sex offenders.
The Vermont State Police commander, Col. Tom LEsperance, said task force members share the common goal of the apprehension of violent offenders and sex offenders.
The Vermont State Police benefit from access to the dedicated resources offered by the U.S. Marshals Service, which allows us to get these offenders off the street while still providing day-to-day law enforcement services to Vermont communities, he said.
Since Oct. 1, the task force has apprehended about 30 fugitives, said Curtis.
We are looking for the worst of the worst, said Curtis. Were looking for the cases that have violence, drugs and felonies. We want dangerous felons thats who were looking for, and those are the people were getting.
Besides Barrs apprehension, the task force on Nov. 1 nabbed Robert William Mulkern, a 48-year-old from Hagerstown, Md., facing a variety of sex offenses, including 149 counts of child pornography.
Curtis said Barrs arrest came after his office received a tip from Florida investigators that he might be in the state. The Vermont investigators had a years-old lead from someone now living in another state.
They used a variety of investigative sources, including social media, to narrow the search, Curtis said. But when they went to Hardwick on Nov. 14, they still didnt know if theyd be able to find him.
It was such a shot in the dark, Curtis said. The information we had was vague and so old.
Mike Gandy, the supervising detective of the cold case unit for the Charlotte County sheriffs office in Florida, didnt want to say what led investigators to believe Barr was in Vermont, but investigators were glad to be able to call the victims mother to tell her the final suspect in her daughters death had been caught.
It was a long road to get there, Gandy said. It feels really, really good.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt.

Summerfest reports attendance was up at this year's festival
One year after sizzling heat took a toll on Summerfest attendance, the Big Gig recovered slightly, as 840,356 fans flocked to the lakefront, according to figures released Thursday.

Sandler and friends reunite for lazy, unfunny sequel
Despite being lambasted by critics, 2010's "Grown Ups" was an enormous hit, grossing $162 million domestically and another $109 million worldwide. It stands to reason that "Grown Ups 2" will do just as well — even though it's made for home viewing when you're flipping channels late at night and nothing else is on.
Once again, producer/co-writer/star Adam Sandler decided to gather all his friends and hang out for a few months — and get a major studio to pay for their get-together. Sometimes you wonder if they even knew (or cared) that cameras were rolling. »Read Full Article(4)

Fans recall what Paul McCartney — and the Beatles — meant to them
On June 18, 1942, a boy named James Paul McCartney was born in Liverpool, England. He'd grow up and meet other chaps — John Lennon, George Harrison, Ringo Starr — and together as the Beatles, they'd impact the lives of countless millions around the world, and of people living in Milwaukee, during the '60s and the decades that followed.
McCartney has been active ever since, in Wings, as a solo artist and on the road. On Tuesday, McCartney will take the stage at a sold-out Miller Park for his first Milwaukee concert since 2005, to perform in front of about 40,000 spectators. »Read Full Article(2)

High Court sides with fired Vernon police chiefBy Susan Smallheer
Staff Writer | June 22,2013MONTPELIER The Vermont Supreme Court ruled Friday the Vernon Select Board had inadequate justification when it fired Police Chief Kevin Turnley in 2009.
The high court didnt order the reinstatement of Turnley, who had been chief for three years when he was fired in November 2009. But it said police chiefs deserved protection from personal dislike, political disagreement or reasons of that nature.
The Select Board claimed Turnley had knowingly lied to the board about when he knew a low-level sex offender had recently moved to Vernon.
But both the Vermont Supreme Court and the Windham Superior Court ruled that the town did not make a case for firing the veteran police chief.
While Turnley was found to have made inaccurate statements regarding the sex offenders move to Vernon, the court said there was no evidence in the record to confirm that the statements were made with knowledge of their falsehood.
Nowhere in its report does the board make an explicit finding regarding the chiefs mental state or intent with respect to those inaccurate statements, the high court ruled.
Lawyer Sharon Annis of Brattleboro, who argued Turnleys appeal before the Supreme Court but is no longer his attorney, said Friday the decision would establish precedent for firing a police chief.
I think this decision provides police chiefs in Vermont with significant protection, Annis said. The decision says you have to have a good, substantial reason to fire someone.
He didnt ever lie, he just didnt remember when, said Annis. Does that make him dishonest? The Supreme Court says no.
The ruling could set a precedent, she said, because there is little Vermont case law on the issue, she said.
According to court records, Turnley received an email from the state Department of Public Safety on Aug. 13, 2009, stating that a low-level sex offender someone who had criminal , sexual misconduct with a minor had moved to Vernon. The chief on Aug. 14, 2009, asked a police clerk to put the email notice in the departments offenders book.
But at a public meeting Oct. 6, 2009, Turnley said he had only learned about the offenders residence a day or two earlier. In a followup meeting, Turnley said he did not recall getting the August email. Turnley declined to comment on his future plans, or whether he would seek reinstatement. Since his firing, he said, he has been unable to find employment anywhere.
Mary Beth Hebert is Vernons police chief now, and it is unclear how Turnley could be reinstated if he were to seek that.
We still have a long ways to go; I cant speculate, he said. Im very happy with the Supreme Court decision and I feel vindicated.
Annis said the town of Vernon had engaged in character assassination of Turnley. She said that Turnley would be entitled to 3½ years of lost wages, plus damages.
The Vermont high court quoted a New Hampshire case, and wrote: Our standard is not whether we would have ruled differently, but whether a reasonable person could have reached the same decision as did the (board) based upon the evidence before it.
There must be substantial evidence to warrant a chiefs firing, the high court ruled.
And while the Select Board seeks to enjoy the deference accorded to a quasi-judicial body, it must comply with the requirements imposed on other judicial organs, the ruling said.
Turnley, who had been a Vernon police officer for 15 years before he was made chief in 2006, said Friday he felt exonerated by the high courts decision, which affirmed a decision by Windham Superior Court Judge Katherine Hayes.
Hayes said Vernon did not properly make a case for firing the chief and did not follow Vermont law concerning a police chiefs dismissal.

Ocular Irritation Assays
The location and the anatomy of the eye predisposes it to exposures of a variety of environmental conditions and substances each day. Ocular injury from a variety of chemical exposures can lead to a range of adverse effects with the most extreme being blindness.
Ocular irritation assays offer a wide range of alternatives to the Draize Rabbit Eye Test for predicting the ocular irritation/toxcity potential of test materials. Each ocular in vitro assay is unique in terms of its sensitivity and its compatibility with specific test materials. The anticipated aggressiveness and/or physio-chemical properties (e.g., solubility) of the test material are often considered when determining the most appropriate assay to use. Specialized protocols may be prepared as requested through consultation with an IIVS Study Director.
Select from the menu at left for more information about individual ocular irritation assays. Each assay section will include an overview, applications, and brief Step by Step procedures.

A murder suspect, who was at large for 15 months, finally tried to turn himself in to Swedish police only to be told that the police station was closed.
Saleh Hadri allegedly killed a man in November 2011 and has been on the run ever since, Sweden's The Local reports.
When he went to the police station in Malmo, Sweden and rang the doorbell, he was told they could not help him because the station was closed.
"Closed? I'm suspected of murder and a wanted man," he allegedly said in the intercom. "You guys really want to get a hold of me."
Hadri was then directed to another station, where he went and was eventually taken into custody. No officers were sent down from the first station to escort him to the second one.

Basic facts about the future of Vermont's smart gridBy Madeline Bodin | February 02,2014Photo by Madeline Bodin
Vermonts smart grid technology is considered to be one of the top five in the nation. These VELCO transmission lines are in Pittsford.Vermonts electrical grid is at a tipping point, experts say.
We are in a period of unprecedented change at an accelerating rate, says Kerrick Johnson, vice president for external affairs at the Vermont Electric Power Company, known as VELCO.
Its not an isolated phenomenon. Vermonts electrical grid is part of a New England-wide network of bulk-power generators and transmission lines operated by ISO New England. ISO stands for independent system operator. The New England network in turn is part of a larger regional grid that covers the eastern half of the country.
But Vermont does chart its own path, with laws passed by the state Legislature and regulatory decisions made by the Public Service Board which acts as a sort of energy court. Vermonts role as a national leader in net metering regulations and smart grid technology means that during this period of accelerating change, we have a seat in the front of the roller coaster.
Right now Vermonters are making important decisions about our electrical grid, but the grid itself is a mystery to many. Here is a brief overview of its most important aspects.
Smart meter versus smart grid
The smart meter is the most visible component of the smart grid, but its not the most important component, says Paul Hines, assistant professor at the University of Vermont School of Engineering and an expert on electrical grids.
Its the use of digital technology to relay outage information, reroute power and even locate crews that makes the smart grid smart, he says.
Connectivity as in the Internet is at the heart of the smart grid, explains Greg White, vice president of field operations for Green Mountain Power, or GMP.
Its in all aspects of the electrical grid, says White.
Customers can see this in the social networking tools that the company uses to communicate with them, he says, but there is even more of that behind the scenes. White says the focus has been on how the smart grid lets consumers make better choices, but better information means the utility itself can be more efficient.
Transmission versus distribution
To most of us, the poles and wires that bring electricity to our doorstep are all the same. But to people in the electrical industry, there is an important distinction.
Transmission lines move high voltages across long distances. In Vermont, VELCO operates the states transmission system. Distribution lines bring power to our homes and businesses and are owned and maintained by Vermonts 17 electric distribution utilities.
Understanding the difference between transmission and distribution is vital to understanding the changes that are taking place in the grid.
Experts expect the distribution system to grow more complex, while the transmission system grows more robust to meet new federal requirements.
Net metering and distributed generation
Its no accident that those small, local electrical generation projects are known as distributed generation. They connect to distribution lines, while major power plants connect to transmission lines.
Distributed generation may be the wind turbine you installed on your roof, or the small-scale community solar farm down the road.
To the grid it looks like energy efficiency, because it is produced and consumed in the same place, reducing input from the larger grid, says Darren Springer, deputy commissioner of the Public Service Department, the state agency that represents the public interest in energy issues.
Distributed generation is exploding, says VELCOs Johnson, not just in Vermont, but across the United States.
Distributed generation requires distribution lines to run both ways more like transmission lines. It also reduces the amount of power transmission lines need to carry, since more electricity is generated where it is used.
Net metering is the method used in Vermont to link distributed generation systems into the larger grid. Excess energy is sold to the local utility at the going rate. The state Legislature is considering a bill that will extend Vermonts net metering law.
Integrating renewables
Integrating wind and solar requires changes to the grid, says Hines, but were not going to tear it up and start new.
The need for a multi-million dollar piece of equipment, a synchronous condenser, to fully integrate the Lowell wind project into the grid may have led some Vermonters to think that all renewable energy projects require expensive upgrades.
However, says Hines, The synchronous condenser in Lowell is a particular solution to a particular problem building a wind farm in a weak part of the grid.
Adjustments must be made when any type of power plant goes on line. The real trick with renewables, Hines says, is balancing the electrical load when both solar and wind systems can slow down or stop producing power in an instant as when a cloud passes in front of the sun.
When renewables wink off, says Ed McNamara, regional policy director for the Public Service Department, gas generation plants can start producing power in ten minutes.
The road to the future
The challenge for Green Mountain Power is how to advance the system, while keeping reliability, costs and security, White says of the test facing the states largest utility.
As for the challenges facing the Public Service Department, Springer comments, Commissioner [Christopher] Recchia says that weve always had variable demand on the grid people turning their lights on and off. The new opportunity and challenge is bringing clean, but intermittent, energy sources, like solar, into the grid.
These challenges are large, but Hines, the nationally recognized expert, says Vermont can show the rest of the country the way.
The grid could always be smarter. In Vermont, smart people worked hard to make it work well, he says. I think after the investment of the 2009 Recovery Act money in smart grid technology, Vermont is among the top five areas in the country for smart grid. If we do well, we get a chance to share it.

My parents are from Ireland. The first time my husband visited their home he was struck by how often and how my family uses the word "lovely."
The chicken is done. "Lovely," says my dad.
Someone took the trash out. (A rarity, by the way.) "Lovely," says my mom.
"Hey mom and dad, I'm heading out to cover the 2012 Summer Olympics."
"Lovely" they say in unison.
I've been getting "lovely-d" right and left in London.
Domi and I took the Underground to Wimbledon the other day. I sat next to Lucy Crowther. She confessed she was surprised how much she's enjoying the Olympics.
"They're just (say it with me now) lovely," said Lucy. "We (meaning the Brits) were down on it given our finances but now that they're here, they're lovely."
Double lovely. That's extra points in Scrabble.
Lovely is as lovely does. And, I'd have to describe my experience in the Olympic host city as well, lovely.

By Jeffrey Bramnick, Pure Matters
Each fall, you hear that influenza threatens older adults and folks with chronic ailments.
It's true that the death rate from the flu peaks in those 65 years old and older, and that the rate of hospital stays is highest in people 85 and older. But children under age 2 have more severe complications from seasonal influenza and may require hospitalization. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 20,000 children under age 5 are hospitalized each year because of flu complications.
Make it yearly
According to the CDC, children ages 6 months to 19 years should be vaccinated annually against seasonal influenza.
"The number of hospitalizations means that even healthy kids in this age group are considered high risk," says Jon S. Abramson, M.D., a past chair of the American Academy of Pediatrics' infectious diseases committee.
The CDC says children 8 years old and younger who are immunized for the first time should get two full doses of vaccine, one month apart. The CDC does not advise that infants younger than 6 months get the vaccine. A nasal spray vaccine is available for children ages 2 and older.
OK for pregnant women
Doctors recommend flu shots for pregnant women who will be in their second or third trimester during flu season. Flu shots are OK for breastfeeding mothers, Dr. Abramson says.
"The best protection for a child under 6 months old is for the adults and others around the baby to be vaccinated against the flu so the illness is not spread," he says. Then, during the flu season, keep the infant home away from crowds, children other than siblings and public places.
A baby with the flu can run a temperature, sometimes as high as 105 degrees F taken rectally. A fever of 106.5 degrees F is a serious medical risk in itself, says Dr. Abramson.
In babies younger than 3 months, a fever of 100.4 degrees F or higher rectally can be a sign of serious illness. If you have questions about the flu or your child's fever, call your doctor.

An Oakland man's impromptu pit stop proved costly Wednesday evening when his car rolled into Salmon Lake in Belgrade.
Chief Deputy Everett Flannery of the Kennebec County Sheriff's Department said Michael Leighton, 32, told police he needed to go to the bathroom so he decided to go to the Spaulding Point Boat Landing. Leighton said he stopped his 2007 Mitsubishi Galant and put on the emergency brake but forgot to put the car in park.
Flannery said Leighton stepped away from the car to relieve himself. Leighton turned around when he heard a splash, Flannery said, but by that time the car was in the lake.
Ron Stewart of D & R Hauling and Towing of Belgrade, which removed the car from the water, said the car is likely ruined.

Gun owners need to be responsibleFebruary 09,2013
Gun owners need to be responsible
My nephew was a young fellow in grade school when he and his little cousin were coming through the summer kitchen of the old farmhouse where they lived. There were a bunch of rifles stacked in the corner. He grabbed a shotgun out of the stack and pointed it at his cousin and pulled the trigger.
No one thought there was a loaded gun in that stack but there was and one little boy lost his life. Really, two little boys lost their lives because the ongoing nightmare that the survivor lived was truly tragic.
Yes, people have the right to bear arms, but it seems to me that the gun owner must carry his share of that burden of responsibility. If you own a gun and you do not properly secure it, or even if you do properly secure it, I believe that when it has been available to a child under any circumstance, then the gun owner should receive an automatic jail sentence, and that sentence should be substantial where death is resulting.
I would not presume to write that law in this short letter, but I know that my nephew carried a very heavy burden throughout his life and the gun owner got away with only a guilty conscience. This situation has never produced justice, but a law could be written that would make the gun owner responsible, and I believe there should be a minimum sentence that would be automatic and would include anyone of whatever age or means.
With this letter I challenge our Legislature to write this law and pass it. Let Vermont be the first state to address the gun problem in a practical way. Should you do so, I would consider it an honor to the two boys involved if you would name that law The Patrick Law. Thank you.

KFC threatens lawsuit over 'Hitler' chicken restaurant
Logo replaces head of Colonel Sanders with that of Adolf Hitler
Achtung, baby! An unusual chicken restaurant in Thailand has KFC threatening legal action.
"Hitler" recently opened its doors in Bangkok, and sports a storefront emblem very similar to the American fried chicken chain. But instead of Colonel Sanders, its logo features the head of Adolf Hitler, complete with apron and bow tie.
KFC officials said they may take legal action against the restaurant if it doesn't cease and desist immediately.
"We find it extremely distasteful and are considering legal action since it is an infringement of our brand trademark and has nothing to do with us," a spokesman for KFC parent Yum! told The Huffington Post in an email.
The restaurant first drew the attention of author Andrew Spooner, who snapped a photo of "Hitler" and tweeted it out in May.
Alan Robertson, a 43-year-old Bangkok resident, told The Daily Mail he thought the chicken was "pretty good" and said a server told him the proprietors considered Hitler a "good image."

Morsi's cease-fireNovember 26,2012
Few would have ever expected that the easier of the two daunting tasks facing new Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi last week would be the brokering of the cease-fire that ended the fighting in the Gaza Strip by Israel and the Palestinian group Hamas, thus ending, at least for now, the threat of a major Middle East crisis.
When Morsi succeeded in persuading the Israelis and the Palestinians to put down their weapons, a grateful world cheered. And, immediately, he attained international relevance. But he still is so new to his job back in Egypt that he needed — or at least believed he needed — to take a bold and deeply controversial step to secure not just his presidency but what he viewed as the preferred outcome of his country's recent revolution.
So, wisely or not, he issued a decree that appeared to grant him virtually all the powers of a dictator, which is exactly the opposite of what the "Arab Spring" uprisings were all about. And in doing so, he invited the unbridled wrath of Egypt's secularists and political liberals — they're often the same people, of course — who had thought the whole idea of the revolution was precisely to end dictatorship.
In Washington, President Obama and the State Department must be viewing all this unexpected turmoil with a certain amount of apprehension, if not outright confusion. They have to decide — and the decision can only follow careful analysis — what would be the proper United States response to Morsi's apparent power-grab. He is, after all, the person who, in negotiating the cease-fire, accomplished exactly what Obama wanted so it would appear he has earned considerable patience on the part of America's political leaders.
But, with his decree, what if Morsi has miscalculated and in fact has unwisely destabilized Egypt after a far too-brief period of political calm? Indeed, there already have been widespread riots, particularly in Cairo's Tahrir Square where demonstrators so famously succeeded in ending the dictatorship of Hosni Mubarak.
The United States, no matter who occupied the White House, had always tolerated Mubarak's leadership simply because he was — despite his antipathy toward Egyptian democracy — reliably useful in maintaining a stable relationship with Israel, something no other Arab leaders were willing to do.
And yet, quite naturally, the United States cheered as the Egyptian people demanded political freedom, unseating the American ally Mubarak, and in an open and free election elected Morsi to be their new leader. True, his party is the Muslim Brotherhood, and because of its very name there are many in America who distrust it, believing its first goal is to advance the anti-American agenda of militant Islamists in Egypt. However, in the early stages of his presidency, it appeared Morsi was less doctrinaire than many had feared.
Now those fears have been revived, and, not surprisingly, Morsi has his supporters who accuse many in the elected assembly's non-Islamist minority of obstructing the path to a constitutional democracy simply because they refuse to accept their defeat at the polls.
"They are afraid of democracy, really," an official of the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party, said in a recent interview. "They only debate to block the way, to stop the constitutional process."
Washington needs to be sure it knows exactly where the truth lies before settling on any particular approach to the Egyptian situation. Until Morsi shows he can deal with his own nation's unrest as ably as he dealt with the fighting between Israel and her Palestinian enemies, there will be only worrisome uncertainty.MORE IN EditorialsProtesters converged on a bank in Montpelier early this week to show their solidarity with the...

It may not be a first thought when preparing for a hurricane, but getting a vehicle prepared is important.
Motorists should be sure cars are in good shape before a storm hits, and the vehicle's title should be kept in a safe and dry place.
The vehicle's gas tank should also be filled.
During and after the storm, drivers should avoid roads that can't be clearly seen. Potholes could damage a vehicle and leave the driver stranded.
Take down items stored in the garage above the car if you plan to keep it there through the storm.
Covering a car with a thick padding or tarp -- even if it is in the garage -- will help ensure the vehicle is protected from wind-blown debris.

Amid The Device Hype, This Startup Is Taking Wearables To Heart
There's been a lot of talk about wearable devices being the next big thing in the technology world. It's easy for the hype to get ahead of the products, but there's actually some serious innovation going on.
"What we're going to see over the next couple years is going to be extremely exciting," says Dan Ledger of Endeavor Partners, which consults with the companies that are inventing wearables. "As the technology improves ... we're going to get devices that solve a lot of useful and unique problems for a lot of people out there."
Quanttus, located near the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is trying to find those solutions. The startup is called Quanttus because its products will quantify human health, says Vice President of Product Development Jordan Rice. Rice used to work on wearable technology at Nike, before Quanttus recruited him.
Unlike simpler step-counting bracelets, Quanttus' products will have a cluster of tiny, sophisticated sensors. An object smaller than a fingernail can measure the body's biological signals.
Rice won't say exactly what all the sensors will track — that's still secret. But some will probably record metrics like heart rate, temperature and blood pressure.
He won't say what form those sensors will take, either: They could be bracelets, necklaces or something else entirely.
David He, who co-founded Quanttus after graduating from MIT, says his products will likely first be used to track patients with heart problems.
"Cardiovascular disease is the No. 1 killer, and it all boils down to this pump inside your body ... that drives everything," he says.
He uses a car analogy to explain: "It's like you're an automobile and there's the car engine."
Automobiles have 15 to 20 computers monitoring all the time, and a mechanic can get the data that your car has stored.
In the future, your doctor might do the same thing, but would get it from a wristwatch that has been quietly gathering the information about you.
That's bound to create privacy concerns, but venture capitalists are pouring money into all kinds of wearable startups. In the past couple of months, Quanttus has grown from 25 to 40 employees.
Wearables still need a lot of improvement, yet the innovation continues. A report in February counted 79 different companies with wearable technology products — and that doesn't even include the newest or more secretive startups, like Quanttus.
Next, we have a story of technology you use, but also wear. In our latest report on small business, NPR's Chris Arnold reports on startups, hoping to create the next big small thing.
CHRIS ARNOLD, BYLINE: You might have heard of something called a fit-bit. That's a little bracelet that counts steps as you move around, and how many calories you burn. Then there strap-on cameras, gloves for cyclists that blink with a turn-signal light. There's even a shirt that will give you a hug when it senses that you're nervous or upset. That's called the InflataCorset.
DAN LEDGER: Well, there's certainly - I think there's two categories. There's the ludicrous category.
ARNOLD: That's Dan Ledger with Endeavor Partners. He consults with companies that are inventing these wearable devices. He says in the technology world, there's been a lot of talk about this being the next big thing. And whenever that happens, the talk can get ahead of itself.
LEDGER: There certainly is a lot of hype right now, and we are very much in the early days of wearables.
ARNOLD: But if you look past the hype and some of the kookier products...
LEDGER: What we're going to see over the next couple years is going to be extremely exciting. As the technology improves and we get better bio-sensing capabilities, we're going to begin to see devices that are going to solve very useful and unique problems for a lot of people out there.
ARNOLD: To get a sense of that, we went to a startup company called Quanttus, near MIT.
JORDAN RICE: This is one of the earlier prototypes that our chief science officer, David, and the team built early on, which...
ARNOLD: Jordan Rice is a VP of product development. He got recruited to this startup from Nike, where he also used to work on wearable technology. He says the company is called Quanttus because its products will quantify human health. Unlike those more simple step-counting bracelets, Quanttus' products - they could be bracelets, necklaces. They're not saying yet. But they'll have a cluster of tiny, sophisticated sensors that he's showing me.
RICE: Basically, just what you're seeing right there which a size, you know, smaller than my index fingernail. We're measuring the vast majority of your clinically-relevant cardiovascular metrics. And so, there's probably eight to 10 different biometric signals or values that we're picking up from that right there.
ARNOLD: And what is biometric mean, for people who don't know what that means?
RICE: It's a measurement of your personal biology. We like to say that your body is putting out all kinds of biological signals, and we're able to pick those up. And that's basically biometrics.
ARNOLD: Rice won't say exactly what all the sensors will measure. That's still secret. But some will probably track heart rate, temperature, blood pressure and other metrics.
David He co-founded the company after graduating from MIT. He says his products will likely first be used to track patients with heart problems.
DAVID HE: Cardiovascular disease is the number-one killer, right? And it all boils down to this pump inside your body, right, that drives everything. It's like you're an automobile, and then there's the car engine.
ARNOLD: And automobiles, by the way, have, like, 15-20 computers that are monitoring all that, all the time.
HE: Exactly. So I guess that's an analogy.
ARNOLD: So a mechanic can get all this data that your car has stored. In the future, your doctor might do the same thing, but get it from the wristwatch that's been quietly gathering the information about you. That's bound to create some privacy concerns. But venture capitalists are pouring money into all kinds of wearable startups. In the past couple of months, Quanttus has grown from 25 to 40 employees.
That's got the recruiter, Emily Gransky, very busy.
EMILY GRANSKY: Three people, possibly four, are starting Monday. And then we have another two definitely starting the following Monday.
ARNOLD: For now, wearables still need a lot of improvement. Some of those step counters aren't very accurate, and people stop using them. But there's also a lot of innovation going on. Another report counted up 79 different companies with wearable technology products. And that doesn't even include the newest or more secretive startups, like Quanttus.

A would-be thief who broke down during a Papa John's robbery made up the sob story that got him free food, police in Montana said.
David Lacey, 35, entered the Helena restaurant Jan. 22 wearing a bandana over his face and gave the clerk a note demanding money, The Associated Press reported.
The cashier started to hand him money, but Lacey began crying and said he was just trying to provide for his family.
The clerk eventually made him a large pepperoni pizza and some chicken wings, and Lacey left.
But an investigation by police found Lacey has no children in Helena and only changed his story when he saw how little money there was in the cash register, the Independent Record reported.
Lacey has since been arrested on suspicion of felony robbery.
According to court records, he told police he needed the money to buy food.

A new video game that puts you in the shoes of Cleveland hero Charles Ramsey is drawing criticism from some for capitalizing on the kidnappings.
"Burger Bash," developed by NMA-TV, lets you throw burgers at Ariel Castro -- the man accused of kidnapping three women and holding them in his Cleveland home for 10 years.
Wacky music plays along with random quotes from Ramsey's now-famous TV interview, and screams can be heard in the background, according to The Huffington Post.
You earn points by hitting Castro with as many burgers as possible in 30 seconds and avoiding innocent bystanders.
If you hit too many bystanders, Castro takes you into his "house of horrors."
The whole thing is just strange, and many are slamming the game as offensive and in poor taste.
"You've got to be kidding," a commenter on The Huffington Post wrote.
"Programmers: Please stop capitalizing on gruesome tragedies to make novelty (laughs)," Cooper Fleishman of The Daily Dot online newspaper wrote.

No Doubt is apologizing to American Indians for their new music video for "Looking Hot."
The video shows the rockers in traditional American Indian clothing and being chased by cowboys.
The band pulled the music video after getting complaints. In a statement posted on their official website, the band apologized and said that they never intended to "offend, hurt, or trivialize Native American people. ... Being hurtful is simply not who we are."
"Looking Hot" is the second single from the band's latest album, "Push and Shove."

Shared inspiration guides 'Admission' star Lily Tomlin, scribe Karen Croner
New Fey, Rudd comedy drama opens Friday nationwide
If comedy legend Lily Tomlin had a daughter, she said it would be Tina Fey.
"I'm so admiring of Tina -- she's become a real comedy force," Tomlin told me in a recent interview. "Before the film, I never thought our mother-daughter relationship, but now I'd like her to be my daughter. I could have had a brainy good kid like that with some good comedic chops. She's just a good, self-possessed individual."
The funny thing is the mother-daughter dynamic Tomlin and Fey have in the new comedy drama "Admission," is almost hopelessly dysfunctional, as it seems like they'll never meet eye-to-eye.
"My character did that to her -- made her all uptight and insecure, even though she acts like she's not," Tomlin said. "And because of it, she's settled for this boring, prosaic life. I did it to her. I didn't let her be herself."
Directed by Paul Weitz and adapted for the screen by Karen Croner, "Admission" follows the exploits of Portia (Fey), a Princeton University Admissions officer who, for more than a decade and a half, has had the unenviable task of sorting out the applications and weeding out the pleas of thousands of would-be students at the prestigious Ivy League college.
Leading a sort of mundane existence, Portia sees a glimmer of hope when Clarence (Wallace Shawn), the dean of Admissions, announces his retirement -- leaving Portia and Corrine (Gloria Reuben) as the top two contenders for the position.
With the pressure on and Princeton's ranking slipping from No. 1 to No. 2 in U.S. News and World Report, Portia makes a quick decision to shake things up by visiting an alternative school at the urging of John (Paul Rudd), an affable school staff member. It seems John has a prodigy student named Jeremiah (Nat Wolff) that he believes has the smarts for a place at Princeton, as well as secret: the teen appears to be the long-lost son Portia gave up for adoption years ago.
Overwhelmed with the revelation and a sudden urge to right the past wrong, Portia desperately begins to bend some rules to craft a way to get Jeremiah admitted to Princeton, even though her under-handed ways could spell disaster for her career.
And then there's strained relationship with her mother, Susannah (Tomlin) …
Without question, "Admission" features one of the most unique storylines to come down the pike in a long time. But for Croner ("One True Thing") -- who adapted the screenplay from Jean Hanff Korelitz' novel of the same name -- the story was very accessible because it's so relatable.
"I had just gone through getting my son in middle school and it was a foreign experience to me," Croner told me in a separate interview. "I live in LA, where it's very competitive, and when somebody gave me the book 'Admission' and told me it was about an admissions officer and it was very sad, I thought, 'That doesn't sound sad. I thought it sounds hilarious. I want to write that character. I want to see her suffer like I just did."
Tomlin said she was sold on Croner's script because the characters were anything but predictable.
"I just thought the people in the story were elusive. The relationships were not pat," Tomlin observed. "It was surprising and unpredictable."
And most of all, Tomlin said she loved how forthright her aging feminist character was with her life, treating a life-altering event like a double mastectomy operation as if it were just another day.
"I felt I understood a lot about my character and I was excited by that," Tomlin said. "Initially, because the character had a double-mastectomy, I wanted to her to be like the feminists I knew who had mastectomies -- particularly in the early days -- who would tattoo their chests and would be very brazen about it. They would be empowered rather than intimated or insecure."
"Susannah is the sort of person who would say, 'I want to have a breast plate made so I can chop wood with my shirt off and have it all tattooed,' as a lot of women did," Tomlin added. "I'm not making this up. I only observed it and admired it, when these women were so bold and accepted this change in their body to a degree that they would literally wear it as some kind of insignia or identity."
Instead going with the breast plate, Tomlin's symbol of identity in the film was a tattoo of feminist icon Bella Abzug on her arm.
"Lily, Tina and I are all pretty serious feminists -- it's been a pretty big part of our lives," Croner said. "At the same time, we have the same sense of humor about things like tattoos, so we were able to explore that, mine it and play with it, and Lily didn't hold back at all -- it was so much fun."
"I loved the Bella tattoo," Tomlin enthused. "Ideas like that turn you on."
Tomlin and Croner said they were thrilled to finally have the opportunity to work with Fey and Rudd, and neither were disappointed, especially given the fact that the two acclaimed actors got to show more than what they're predominantly known for.
"They're known mostly for their comedy and they get to do that here, certainly, but they also get to go deeper and more emotional, and they both pulled it off so well," Croner said.
"What I loved was their chemistry. They're both these brainy, beautiful and somewhat neurotic people and you wonder what they're going to be like on screen together, and they were spectacular," Croner added. "They make things like even the issues of parenting sexy. That was a real feat to pull off. They were able to explore to explore the shades of their complexities, yet sparkle in their connection to each other."

text: Victron Energy Solar Switch A rapidly growing number of houses, farms and other buildings are being fitted with grid connected solar installations. The standard configuration has an important drawback: it is dependent on the grid. If the grid fails, the grid connected inverter shuts down and a total blackout is the result, despite the investment in a solar installation. The same is true for other grid connected alternative energy solutions, such as wind, water or micro CHP (micro Combined Heat & Power). Basically, the solution to this problem is to add an inverter/charger and batteries. Several configurations are possible. The problem: standard pV system shuts down in case of power outage. When the public grid is available, the Victron SolarSwitch will connect the solar inverter directly to the grid. If the grid fails, the power from the solar inverter will be redirected to the output of the MultiPlus. The MultiPlus replaces the grid and will balance the power mismatch between the load and the solar inverter. A power shortage will be supplemented by the MultiPlus, discharging the battery, and excess power will be used to recharge the battery. Once the batteries are fully charged, the excess power can be redirected to a water heater , or a dump load, or the grid inverter can be topped by slightly changing the output frequency of the MultiPlus (this is a standard feature of the MultiPlus). In order to prevent the batteries from discharging completely in case of insufficient solar power, some or all loads can be can be shut down with programmable elays available on the SolarSwitch.

By Kelly Herdrich, Contributing writer
The minute the Christmas lights are twinkling and the stores are filled with toys, parents and children start perusing the TV Guide for Christmas specials.
Though some holiday television specials come and go as quickly as our children grow, others have stood the test of time and remained Christmas favorites year after year. What has made "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and "Frosty the Snowman" stand out in a crowd sprinkled with Charlie Brown, Mickey and the Grinch?
According to IMDB.com, "Frosty the Snowman" and "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" started enticing children during the 1960s, with Rudolph appearing in 1964 and Frosty in 1969.
While the original "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" was produced with puppets through a Japanese animation company, "Frosty the Snowman" is animated in the traditional cartoon fashion. Still airing on major television networks between Thanksgiving and Christmas, both Christmas specials aired on television first, though they can be purchased on DVD today.
There has been much debate over the years about why these holiday specials have continued to entertain America's youth during the Christmas season. "Olive the Other Reindeer" fell flat after a few years, but "A Christmas Story" is still going strong.
We still watch "Miracle on 34th Street," but rarely do people stalk the TV Guide for "The Year Without a Santa Claus." What's the big deal about these Christmas specials?
- The Generation Effect: First, a lesson can be learned about the staying power of Rudolph and Frosty by looking at toy companies. Within the past 5 years, there has been a rerelease of toys based on the classics from the 1970s and 1980s, including "Strawberry Shortcake," "He-Man," "Fraggle Rock" and "My Little Pony." Parents who grew up with these toys are suddenly interested in sharing them with their own children.
- The Character Effect: Not all television shows watched in youth have become Christmas classics. There's more required than just the memory factor. In addition to helping parents recall fond memories of their youth that they want to share with their own children, Rudolph and Frosty are likeable characters who have become popular in their own right. There are books, stuffed animals and even songs about these characters, which have helped them transcend their on-screen images and take on a life of their own. No one knows any more what came first -- the song or the movie. As a result, both are classics.
- The Meaning Effect: Not only are the characters popular, but the messages that these Christmas TV specials promote are lacking in much of today's media. Finding a place to fit in, because there is one for everyone, is part of the message shared by Rudolph. Valuing friendship, caring and kindness is one of the primary focuses of Frosty.
From their lovable and remarkable characters to the messages they share with children and parents alike, Frosty and Rudolph are sure to continue to be Christmas TV classics long after their original audiences have stopped watching.
