I overheard a discussion between a few of my co-workers regarding some facts about the French Open. I realized my knowledge and history of this prestigious event could use a refresher. Maybe yours too?
1.Roland Garros was built specifically in 1928 to defend the Davis Cup. The "les Quatre Mousquetaires or "Four Musketeers" consisting of Jacques "Toto" Brugnon, Jean Borotra (the "Bouncing Basque"), Henri Cochet (the "Magician"), and René Lacoste (the "Crocodile") were largely responsible for France retaining the Cup until 1933. The champions trophy is aptly named "La Coupe des Mousquetaires".
2.Roland Garros, a pioneer aviator completed the first solo flight across the Mediterranean Sea. An engineer inventor of the first forward-firing aircraft machine gun, and World War I hero. The first pilot to shoot down five enemy aircraft, and to be called an "ace" for doing so who was killed in aerial combat in 1918.
3.Center Court or "Court Philippe Chatrier" is named for long time president of the Fédération Française de Tennis.
4.The Roland Garros surface is invariably characterized as "red clay", the courts are in fact surfaced with white limestone frosted with a few millimeters of powdered red brick dust.
The current facility is due to undergo a major expansion expecting to be complete in 2017.
5. Rafael Nadal holds the French Open record with 8 French Open titles.

It's a rough week to be Ryan Lochte.
In a recent interview with E! Online, the Olympian said he turned down offers to appear on The Bachelor and Dancing with the Stars. "I was like, 'Why don't I just have my own reality TV show, and just put it all in there myself?' Do it my own way."
Stars who deserve their own late-night talk show
However, ABC executive Robert Mills, who oversees development and production of reality programming such as The Bachelor, quickly rebuffed Lochte's claim. "Uhhh...you were never offered Bachelor," he wrote on Twitter Tuesday shortly after the interview was posted.

Lunch is on mePosted Friday, February 26, 2010, at 10:36 AM
I have lots of memories of my granddad.
The war stories. The golf lessons. The "father-son" talks. But the most recent memory I have of my grandfather is perhaps the one I will treasure the most.
For the last couple of years, I have been having lunch about twice a week with him, going to one of his favorite places to eat, talking about life in general, sharing sports scores and news, and just spending quality time together. And come to think about it, I get to hear a few war stories, too.
And for me, even though it may only be for 30 minutes to an hour each time, it is time that is extremely special to me. And I think he would agree that it has been special for him as well.
Our lunches are also special because they are a way for us to talk about his wife of nearly 60 years, my grandmother, who passed away about six years ago. He has been very lonely since then, and I miss her very much as well, so our lunches allow for some healing and closure as we share memories of a great woman who had such a lasting effect on our lives.
Even if we don't have much to say, we still enjoy the time spent eating quietly and getting away from the drama and confusion that surrounds our daily lives.
My granddad is in pretty good health for a man 87 years of age, but I do not know how many days, months or years I will be able to share that time with him, which is why our lunches are so close to my heart. To think that one day those lunches will come to an end is a frightening thought for me.
But I will cherish the time I have with him, because he has been many things to me, a father, a grandfather, a mentor, and a friend.
So, grandpa, thanks for some great memories and I'll see you next week...lunch is on me.

Jason, I just want you to know that this special memory of lunches out with your granddad is not only special to you but also to him. It is so hard to come to face the fact that one special person will not be in our lives forever like we want them to, my grandma has been gone for just 1 year now and there isn't a day that goes by that I wish she was still here with me. I remember not to long ago when I was working for The Tribune I used to give you a hard time about going out to lunch with him all the time I'll tell you though I wish I would have gotten to spend all that time with my Grandma cause no matter what it just isn't enough. We all want more! More memories, more time, more love. Your a special grandson to him and you are making what time he has left of his life worthwhile and happy! Great Job.

I lost my grandpa a few years back and not a day goes by that I wish I could take him out to lunch. My grandmother is still alive; however, she lives in a nursing home. Visiting her just isn't the same. I miss their house where I could grab a soda and cookies and kick back on the couch and watch grandpa watch golf with his eyes closed. Grandparents are truely amazing, enjoy every one of those lunches because you will treasure each and every memory later in life!

Robin Hood was the model for Santa Monica College's plan to charge higher tuition for added classes, say members of the very liberal college board. Those who could afford it would pay more, opening up space in budget-priced classes for low-income students.
Low tuition is no bargain if colleges can't meet student demand, an analyst argues. If community colleges charged enough to fund sufficient classes, students wouldn't be turning to high-cost for-profit colleges that don't put students on a wait list.

If you're looking for some support in your efforts to get off the couch, put Sunday October 21 on your calendar.
That's the day when Let's Move Boca, an interactive health and wellness fair for the entire family, will be held at Royal Palm Place in Boca Raton. From 10 a.m.-3 p.m. the event will showcase healthy cooking and nutrition tips, fitness classes, a vendor fair, and a range of activities for both kids and adults.
"Our goal is to create awareness in the community about the obesity epidemic," says Denise Righetti, chairperson of Let's Move Boca, "and to give families the tools and resources they need to live a more active and healthy lifestyle."
Righetti isn't exaggerating when she describes obesity as an epidemic. According to conservative estimates, one-third of all Americans are more than 30 pounds overweight, and experts predict the number will rise to 50% in a few decades. Busy lifestyles, lack of nutritional awareness and an onslaught of fast food have created dangerous eating patterns for many families, and childhood obesity is increasing at alarming rates.
For an entry fee of $15, participants will receive a t-shirt and access to fitness classes such as Yoga, Zumba, Kickboxing, Jazzercise and more (kids will be admitted free when accompanied by a paid adult). The vendor area will showcase demonstrations of healthy cooking, juicing, and guidelines for better nutrition. There will be a kid's zone with mini workout stations, and adults will have the opportunity to participate in Boca Raton's first "Dance Walking" event.
Best of all, 100% of the proceeds will go to a local non-profit, FLIPANY (Florida Introduces Physical Activity and Nutrition to Youth), which works with children, families and seniors throughout Palm Beach County. To register to attend the event, go to LetsMoveBoca.org. And don't worry---the couch will still be there when you get home.

On This Date in History!
December 2, 1936: Browns Buy Ethan Allen from Cubs.
<- Not This One! <- This One!
The St. Louis Browns have been known to buy some older players on the cheap, but they haven't really gone so far back as the Revolutionary War in their search for affordable talent. - Today they acquired veteran outfielder Ethan Allen for an undisclosed (think small) amount of cash from the Chicago Cubs. The 32 year-old Allen had his best years in the National League, but he will prove himself good enough for one more productive season by hitting .316 in 103 games for the 1937 Browns. Allen will then retire after going a still strong .303 in 19 games for the 1938 Browns.

If you're familiar with the Reynolds Aero line of wheels, you know that they're quite unmistakably the fastest wheels on the planet. If you're not familiar, you're about to learn why. We understand that this is a bold statement, but as you'll soon find out, the Reynolds 72 Aero delivers uncompromising speed with a level of stability that's quite simply unparalleled.
Now, we're going to be forward — the complexity of the Aero design is deep, but we'll walk through it together. To start, one needs to understand the prevalent ideology in aerodynamic wheel design, and to do so, we need to understand drag. What is it? Simply put, it's the restraining force that acts on the wheel when its direction of motion is counter to the free stream of airflow. Now, airflow near the surface of a wheel is turbulent by nature, and when it comes close to the rim surface, it becomes a turbulent boundary layer. This is the start of two kinds of drag, skin friction and pressure drag. Currently, wheel makers are attempting to harness the turbulent layer, reattaching it at the rear section of the rim. The reasoning behind this is that the system reduces pressure drag, but in return, the wheel sees gains in skin friction. However, this is viewed as a comprising trade off, as skin friction has around a ten-fold lower drag value than pressure drag.
To maximize this turbulent system, we've been seeing builders create a constant, rounded edge at the spoke face. For those attempting it, it's been viewed as a leap forward in design. However, Reynolds finds it to be counterintuitive. We'll explain. You see, the science of aerodynamics has developed almost as a case of supply and demand. As aviation technology develops, engineers are forced to develop more efficient airfoil designs, and these designs take the shape of what's called a NACA profile — think of a stretched out tear drop shape. In recent years, though, some wheel designers have started to view the NACA profile as insufficient to the aerodynamics of wheels. The reasoning behind this is that while an airfoil only has what are called a leading and trailing edge, the rim's shape requires a trailing edge to double as a leading edge. Thus, we see the wide, rounded spoke faces of today. However, given that these systems rely on turbulence, Reynolds views this development as a step back from the proven designs of the airfoils that smooth turbulence. And this is just what the Aero 72 does with what Reynolds is calling, Dispersive Effect Termination (DET).
Starting at the rim bed, the Aero 72 features an ultra-wide maximum width of 26.2mm. As a clincher, this eliminates the drag-increasing balloon effect caused by a tire being wider than a rim. Now, the tire width matches the leading edge of the rim, creating less turbulence at the airflow's introduction to the wheel. The benefits to this design are fourfold — it delivers an aerodynamic benefit, it increases lateral rigidity, it also increases comfort, and it decreases rolling resistance. Moving down to the spoke face, the Aero 72 is shaped in a NACA-profiled, tapered V-shape that ends with a sharp trailing edge. This is where Reynolds starts to challenge the status quo. Basically, the Aero's shape actually smooths airflow over the wheel, and when that air passes the spoke face, it's easily reattached at the rear of the rim. So, the Aero places a focus on mitigating turbulence, not accepting it. In fact, testing performed at the A2 Wind Tunnel shoes the Aero experiencing less drag in watts at 30.75mph, at every conceivable yaw angle (0-18 degrees), then any offerings from Zipp, Enve, HED, and Easton.
So, with DET, drag is greatly reduced. However, Reynolds wasn't content with just this. In fact, Reynolds views the aerodynamic engineering of wheels as a four-part structure. 1) The wheel must be lightweight, yet structurally sound. 2) It must reduce turbulent airflow in order to create a low-drag system. 3) The aerodynamic efforts cannot compromise the steering and handling of the bike. 4) The wheel must generate an aerodynamic advantage from its lift-drag-ratio. Not surprisingly, one wheel rarely encompasses all of these traits. In fact, we find that article numbers Two and Three actually tend to contradict one another — think of a disc wheel. However, at around 1680 grams, and with the lowest drag system on the market, the Aero 72 accomplishes all of the above harmoniously. But, to solidify this, let's get into requirements three and four.
This brings us to DET's most impressive characteristic, handling. In relation to the bearing, it's rare to have a real-world circumstance of a straight 180 degree head wind. In reality, you spend 95% of your riding time between 0 and 20 degrees of yaw with a wind angle anywhere from 0 to 100 degrees in relation to the bearing. Accordingly, DET places a focus at improving handling while side force is acting on the wheel. To do so, the DET rim shape pushes the center of pressure forward, beyond the center of mass (hub axle center), for a more stable steering force. For reference, the Firecrest's center of pressure is a little behind the center of mass. But, in the case of DET, the lift and drag vectors are accordingly shifted into a favorable position that extends the range of lift, and as a result, it delays aerodynamic stall (the point where the drag vector is larger than the lift vector) in order to achieve a larger "sweet spot." Why is this important? Well, it creates a more predictable sense of handling, conserves watts, and requires less steering force from the rider. Additionally, the DET shape prevents stall at angles before 20 degrees of yaw, while most competitor's offerings experienced stall between around 12.5 and 14 degrees of yaw. This means that the Aero's handling 'sweet spot' is extended to a window of 7.5 degrees higher than the competition. You'll also find that DET's center of pressure maximizes the forward thrust vector (a quantity that has direction and magnitude), while the rim shape increases lift and decreases turbulent flow. So, the effective lift-to-drag ratio creates a forward thrust that, basically, requires you to exert less watts to propel the wheel forward. Essentially, this system works almost like a turbine that feeds off of the wind.
With the Aero, Reynolds also addressed an all-too-common ailment to carbon wheels — poor braking. The solution was found through the development of what Reynolds calls its Crynogenic Glass Transition Braking System (CTg). Essentially, this is a patented braking design that required both a redesign of the brake track laminate and pads. Accordingly, CTg uses a temperature-conductive laminate at the brake track's transition points that withstands higher levels of heat than typical carbon laminates (around a 100 degree dispersion). And when paired with Reynolds' polymer Cryo Blue brake pads, braking becomes more predictable and requires less finicky feathering on fast descents.
The Reynolds 72 Aero Carbon Road Clincher Wheelset is available in the color Black with White labels and in a clincher configuration. Please note that the rear wheel is offered with a Shimano 11-speed freehub compatibility. Also, every wheelset includes two pairs of Reynolds Cryo Blue Brake Pads. Reynolds strongly recommends only using its proprietary pads, and the use of any other brake pads will result in a void of your warranty.
- Aerodynamic missiles for serious road racing
- Proprietary, NACA-inspired rim shaped smooths air flow
- Experience less drag at moderate yaw angles than competitors
- Wide rim eliminates drag-inducing tire bulge
- Heat-resistant brake pads provide confident stopping power
- Reynolds recommends only using the included Cryo Blue brake pads

I wasn't always a fan of Nicholas Kristof's columns in The New York Times. I'd found them at times simplistic — seeming to reduce the dramas of entire nations to individual stories of despair and/or hope. But I've discovered that there is an art and science to this approach. It was fascinating — and quite inspiring — to sit down and get inside his head on all of this.
Nicholas Kristof has lived on four, and reported on six continents, including spending formative years based in China and Japan, before he took his place on the Op-Ed pages of the Times in the cathartic year of 2001. And as he tells us, he soon realized that opining, however brilliantly, left him preaching to the choir. People who already shared his perspective would cheer him on; those who didn't would not take in what he had to say. The true power of his editorial platform, he realized, was its capacity to bring lesser-publicized events and ideas into the light.
He is credited, most famously perhaps, for bringing the unfolding genocide in Darfur to the world's attention. But even that "success," which brought him a second Pulitzer Prize, left Nicholas Kristof wondering and wanting. The world's reaction to Darfur, in his mind, did not match the tragedy at hand or the moral responsibility it should have engendered. He wanted to understand the fact — as I've pondered with many guests on this program across the years — that horrific images and facts are as likely to paralyze and overwhelm as to mobilize us.
And so he started reading research on brain science and the biological basis for compassion, to explore what makes the difference between moral paralysis and compassionate mobilization. We are hard-wired as humans, it seems, to respond powerfully to a single individual's story and face. But add a second face, and that response diminishes. Add facts, and multiply that story by hundreds or millions, and empathy withers altogether.
Nicholas Kristof reframed his journalistic approach accordingly. It is fascinating to hear him talk about this, and about his own enduring worries about its manipulative connotations. He works to balance the riveting story with the big picture. An empathetic response to a single human story, he's also learned by way of science and his own experience, can become a portal to a larger awareness. Facts and context can then begin to play a meaningful supporting role.
In the early 2000s, I felt that Nicholas Kristof was simplistic about religion too. Granted, most Western journalists were on a new kind of learning curve with regard to religion. Over the years, I have been deeply impressed by his unusual willingness to learn in public — to admit that he did not understand something, to publish his surprise and self-reversals. He's gained a very complex and contradictory view of religion as a force in the world — capable of nurturing the worst of violence and the best of care.
He also offers a penetrating view of the self-defeating liberal-conservative/secular-religious divide on global issues as in our domestic political life. He is one of the voices waking up the world to the global scourge of sex trafficking. He believes that this will ultimately galvanize the moral consciousness of this century as slavery galvanized the 19th century. But he is watching with dismay as, for now, the two most effective activists on this issue — liberal feminists and conservative Christians — cannot agree on a shared vocabulary for describing the problem, much less join their energies.
We spend a lot of words these days on the way journalism is changing — usually with an eye to the technological and financial pressures that are changing it. Nicholas Kristof embodies deep cultural shifts that are also transforming journalism as we have known it. His journalism is a new paradigm, I think, one I'm now grateful for. I'll call it journalism as a humanitarian art. And I look forward to seeing how it continues to evolve.

Update: The giveaway is now closed, and the winners are announced at the bottom of this post!
I always love to hear updates from my Real Life Minimalists, and find out what they've been up to since they shared their stories here with us. And boy, do I have a treat for you today—a special RLM update from Betsy and Warren Talbot of Married with Luggage!
The last time we heard from Betsy and Warren was over a year ago. At the time, they had just sold their house, and almost all of their possessions, and were planning to embark on a four-year journey around the world. I recently had the pleasure of catching up with them, and thought you'd enjoy learning where they are now…
F: So, please fill us in! Where in the world are you, and what have you been doing for the past year?
B+W: We are currently in Germany, and we have spent the last year traveling around South America, dodging a volcano, hiking the Andes, dipping down to see the penguins in Antarctica, and then cruising up the Atlantic to England as the only passengers on a repositioning polar cruise ship (for free, no less!). We spent the summer touring around Europe, house sitting and visiting with friends, and we just celebrated our one-year anniversary of travel. It has been a whirlwind year!
F: You made a radical lifestyle change to live your dream. What role did minimalism play?
B+W: There is no way we could be living the life we have now if we had not started on the path to minimalism five years ago. We already knew the basics, so it was fairly easy to kick it into high speed 3 years ago as we decided to go on this journey. Because we sold everything we owned – house, car, possessions, even the kitchen sink – we are now mobile enough to move at moment's notice, taking advantage of every opportunity for adventure. Everything we own fits into 2 65-L backpacks. We could not have such a full life if it was still crammed with stuff. In fact, had we not started minimizing in the first place we would never have even been able to entertain the idea of long-term travel. I would say that minimalism is the key to our new lifestyle, both in realizing we could actually do this crazy thing and in the day-to-day of living it.
F: How does it feel to live out of a suitcase? Do you ever miss having a house, furniture, or the myriad other possessions that typically fill our lives?
B+W: We get this question a lot! The things we miss from our previous life all revolve around people – the friends and family that we see less often in our new life, but that we make a point to stay in touch with via Skype and email more than before. We do not miss any single possession that we owned before. In fact, it would be hard to even try to remember most of them. This concept seems harder for people to understand than anything else we have done – saving money, spending 24/7 together, giving up careers – and I think I know why. I struggled with my pack rat tendencies all my life, and if someone had told me 10 years ago I'd be living out of a backpack, I would not have believed them.
F: What have you found to be the greatest challenge of a nomadic life? The greatest reward?
B+W: The biggest challenge remains being apart from our family and friends. We still stay in touch for all the important things, but we do miss 1000 little things. Our friends and family miss those little things in our lives, too, since there is no way we could put every experience in our blog.
For that one downside, though, there are a myriad of pluses. Our relationship – which was good to start – is now rock-solid. Once you plan and save for a big adventure like this, follow through with it, and live with your partner 24/7 through some of the biggest highs and scariest lows of your life, you will either make or break your relationship. Second, there is a huge confidence boost that comes with exploring the world and negotiating your way through transportation, lodging, and communication difficulties, not to mention the joy you get from meeting new people and experiencing some of the most beautiful places on earth. And last, the feeling of complete freedom – that you can go anywhere you want anytime you want and stay as long as you want. Everything in our bags contributes to enjoying the life we love, and there is not one thing extra to weigh us down.
F: What's your favorite experience of your journey so far?
B+W: The people, definitely. Both the people that we have become, the people we get to meet and befriend, and the people who get to see what average Americans are like instead of relying on caricatures of us from the media. We are learning and teaching as we go, and for curious people like us, it is a perfect kind of life.
In terms of specific places, though, we would both say Antarctica is pretty spectacular.
F: You've recently written an ebook called Dream Save Do – very exciting! What's it all about?
B+W: We wrote this guide to show everyday people how simple it is to take control of money and focus it toward living the life you really want instead of sustaining the one you don't. People ask us every day how we managed to create this fantastic life because they want to do it for themselves – maybe not to travel the world, but who doesn't want a chunk of money to chase a dream?
The guide is over 100 pages of practical steps, inspirational nuggets, and the creative financing strategies we used to amass the cash for our dream, and it also includes videos from us as well as credit card debt reduction expert Adam Baker of Man vs. Debt. Last, just because we want there to be NO reason why anyone can't do it, we have included a 3-month email followup system to help keep readers on track. We've done everything we can to set up an environment for success. You can learn more (and get a launch day price discount on October 18) at www.DreamSaveDo.com.
F: What are your plans for the future?
B+W: As I write this, we are heading to the airport in Germany to fly to Thailand. We'll be staying there for the next six months as we work on our website development business and write in an effort to fund our dream long-term. You see, once you accomplish a big goal like this, the stakes keep getting higher. We're no longer satisfied with 3 or 4 years of travel. We want to make this a lifestyle, living and working around the world at our own pace and on our own terms. So stay tuned for much more from Married with Luggage. We're just getting started!
Feeling inspired? Well, generous souls that they are, Betsy and Warren have offered to give away 3 free copies of their new ebook, Dream Save Do, to Miss Minimalist readers.
To enter, all you need to do is leave a Comment and tell us what dream you'd like to save for (traveling full-time? starting a business? staying home with the kids?).
I'll keep the giveaway open until Monday, Oct. 17, at 5pm EDT, and use the random number generator at Random.org to select the winners. Please use the email address at which you'd like to receive the ebook; if you win, I'll be passing it along to Betsy and Warren so they can email it to you!
The 3 winners (selected via the number generator at Random.org) are…

Kenneth B Roberts, MD
Professor of Therapeutic Radiology; Director, Pediatric Radiotherapy Program; Associate Chief and Medical Director for Radiation Oncology at Shoreline Medical Center, Yale-New Haven Hospital
Research Interests
Brachytherapy; Uterine Cervical Neoplasms; Cytotoxins; Hodgkin Disease; Radiation Oncology
Research Organizations
Cancer Center: Radiobiology & Radiotherapy
Research Summary
My clinical research interests have been translational and practical, emphasizing combined modality therapy in cancer management, late effects of therapy including secondary malignancies, and the utilization of brachytherapy (implanted radiation sources) in both malignant and benign disease.
Specialized Terms: Cervix cancer and hypoxic cell cytotoxins; Brachytherapy; Pediatric malignancies; Hodgkin's disease; Health services research
Extensive Research Description
During my first ten years on the Yale faculty, I participated in clinical trials evaluating the efficacy of bioreductive alkylating agents as an adjunct to radiotherapy in cervix cancer. A Phase III study comparing radiotherapy alone with radiotherapy plus Mitomycin C for cervix cancer has been completed in Venezuela with results showing a significant improvement in disease-free survival with the addition of Mitomycin C, which is a hypoxic cell cytotoxin.
For several years, I had been collaborating with Interventional Cardiology and Medical Physics in a clinical program utilizing coronary brachytherapy to manage in-stent restenosis. Some current or upcoming clinical research projects include:
1) modifying radiation dose and volume in advanced stage Hodgkin's disease based on response to initial chemotherapy (a cooperative group trial);
2) the effects of prostate edema during brachytherapy on modulating radiation dose delivery;
3) the changes in second malignancies seen after Hodgkins Lymphoma therapy with shift away from primary extended field radiotherapy to combined chemotherapy and low dose involved field radiotherapy
4) an examination of the economic forces that drive the use and demand for radiotherapeutic modalities, often with poorly developed evidence.
Regarding this latter concept, in the management of localized prostate cancer, brachytherapy is in a decline while Intensity Modulated and Image Guided Radiotherapy is in ascendancy for complex reasons. In early stage breast cancer, there is an increasing trend toward partial breast irradiation using 3D conformal radiotherapy or brachytherapy. Coronary brachytherapy had experienced a several year surge in usage and interest amongst cardiologists, but now is less frequently needed due to the efficacy of drug eluting stents, a complementary albeit expensive technology. Palliative radiotherapy in terminally ill cancer patients has become less frequently used, due in part to the capitated reimbursement for hospice care and the relatively high expense and inconvenience of radiotherapy versus medical therapy.

Large computer makers Compaq, Dell and even IBM approached Steve Jobs over licensing of operating system from NeXT, a computer company Mr. Jobs founded after he was ousted from Apple in 1985. Even though he signed a deal, which could have changed the balance of power in the industry forever, with IBM, the NeXT OS did not become popular and the alliance was short-lived.
By 1987 it became apparent that disk operating system (DOS) along with Windows shell for it from Microsoft were becoming industry standards. Even though Steve Jobs has always tried to combine software and hardware in a closed platform, he decided that in a bid to popularize operating system by NeXT, the company he founded in 1985, he needed to do two things that were against his nature: licensing software to another hardware maker and to license this to IBM. In 1987, he met John Akers, chief executive of IBM back then.
"I couldn't resist telling him I thought IBM was taking a giant gamble betting its entire software strategy on Microsoft, because I didn't think its software was very good," said Mr. Jobs in of the interviews with Walter Isaacson for his biography (Amazon, B&N, iBooks).
NeXTSTEP operating system. Image from Wikipedia.
The demonstration of object-oriented NeXTSTEP operating system impressed IBM engineers and executives and after a series of negotiations the deal was struck in 1988: IBM would license the current version of the NeXT OS to use it on workstations. After other large makers of IBM PC-compatible systems, most notably Compaq and Dell, learnt that IBM wanted to use the NeXT OS, they asked Steve Jobs whether they could clone NeXT PC and license NeXTSTEP operating system. In fact, Mr. Jobs received proposals to exit the hardware business and receive additional money for essentially becoming a new Microsoft.
Bill Gates personally and Microsoft as a company got furious about the prospect of losing what essentially became monopoly and started to tell IBM and others that the NeXT OS was incompatible with anything. As a result, after Jim Cannavino became the chief of strategy and development at IBM, the relationship started to cool down. Although NeXT got some money from IBM, it did not got a chance to become a major operating system developer and change the landscape of the computing industry forever. Eventually, Mr. Cannavino initiated the development of OS/2 with Microsoft, which did not succeed, NeXT failed as a company, became a part of Apple, NeXTSTEP transformed into the Mac OS X the rest is history.

Tango's transition from street dance to the upheld, ballroom style it is today is a shift that will be traced in "Tango Fire" — a production of the Buenos Aires-based dance company of the same name.
Tango Fire's performances are riveting, vivacious shows that portray tango in its true light.
With help from acclaimed dancer and choreographer German Cornejo, Tango Fire displays a finesse unlike many other dance shows.

The Continuing Peace Dividend
It came in an interview with a local technology executive. He was a former Air Force officer and noted that his lieutenants were also ex-military. I still have the tie he gave me that day, and came close to saluting as I walked back to my car.
The Air Force team was busy turning computing techniques learned in the military into something that's now commonplace, online transaction processing. The U.S. has dominated that area of business from that day to this.
The size of our peace dividend tends to rise after we cut defense budgets, as technology creators seek ways to capitalize on their research, and gain the motivation of profit to find it.
The collapsing military budgets following World War II and Korea were followed by huge booms in domestic manufacturing technology. The benefits of microprocessors and the Internet became commonplace after the Vietnam-era budget cuts.
During the first Obama Administration the Defense budget has held steady even while our foreign military commitments have declined. The president now claims a "peace dividend" is coming which Time Magazine calls a modest drawdown in constant dollars.
Even this modest reduction is causing Lockheed-Martin (LMT) , the largest government contractor according to Washington Technology , to go into strange new areas like health IT, as the Washington Post reports. Maybe all that drone technology it has invested in so heavily, which I wrote about recently at Seeking Alpha , might help Google bring self-driving cars to market faster.
At the heart of our peace dividends has been one main branch of the military, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.
It was DARPA research that helped drive the development of the microprocessor in the 1950s and the Internet in the 1970s. The good news is that, under director Regina Dubin, the agency is not only keeping its budget at war-time levels, as Wired wrote a year ago, but focusing on areas that can directly benefit the economy, not just the brass.
Some of that work is already coming to the civilian market. Cybersecurity protects the cloud, and next-generation manufacturing technology is going to let us use robots and 3D printers so the per-piece cost of making one product comes closer to the cost of making 1 million.
We're already seeing a "peace dividend" from all that in the rising prices paid for shares of such 3D printing companies as 3D Systems (DDD) and Stratasys (SSYS) , and by the planned break-up of SAIC (SAI) into defense and civilian cyber-security units, described by David Zanoni at Seeking Alpha last month.
Next to emerge from DARPA will be "living foundries," which the agency describes as an "engineering framework for biology," creating materials that heal themselves and using biological processes to develop new fuels and medicines.

TRENTON, N.J. - Have you perfected a new skill or hobby this year? Maybe you started a project a while back and have finally finished it. Well, bring it over to the 94th annual Mercer County 4-H Fair and the coveted Blue Ribbon could be yours! This year the fair will be celebrated July 28-29 at the Howell Living History Farm in Hopewell Township.
There are many "Open Division" categories at the fair — you do not need to be a 4-H member to exhibit. Your special family recipe, homegrown vegetable or creative project could earn a ribbon, and the general public is encouraged to submit entries.
The fair will celebrate 4-H's long association with Mercer County and Howell Farm by featuring family-friendly activities, such as arts and crafts, animal shows and farm tours. This year's theme is "4-H: Belong. Believe. Archive!"
Please visit http://mercer.njaes.rutgers.edu/4h/fair, where you will find the fair exhibit book. Any class listed — including arts and crafts, photography, foods, gardening, clothing, woodworking and more — may be entered under the Open Division. Projects will be received from the general public for entry in the fair on Friday, July 27, from 4 to 8 p.m. at Howell Living History Farm.
The fair will run from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday, July 28, and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, July 29. Admission and parking are free. Children's activities, hay rides and exhibits will take place throughout the fair. Plenty of food and drink, including homemade ice cream, will also be available. The opening ceremony will take place at 1 p.m. on July 28.
4-H, a youth development program operated by Rutgers Cooperative Extension, provides research-based, hands-on learning experiences for youth in Mercer County. The fair is an opportunity for 4-H members to showcase projects they have worked on throughout the year.
For more information about 4-H or entering projects in the fair, please contact Altaira Bejgrowicz at the Mercer County 4-H Office at (609) 989-6833 or email@example.com.
Howell Farm is located on Valley Road, just off Route 29, two miles south of Lambertville, NJ. People using Internet directions should use 70 Woodens Lane, Lambertville, as the destination address. Howell Living History Farm is a facility of the Mercer County Park Commission. Regular hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday and noon to 4 p.m. Sundays.
