Lambda Legal Cites New York Marriage Equality, End of Don't Ask, Don't Tell, Among Highlights of 2011

(New York, December 12, 2011) - Lambda Legal today released "State of the Law 2011," its annual wrap-up of progress in LGBT rights and tip sheet of what is likely to come in 2012.
The report: State of the Law 2011, is available at : www.lambdalegal.org/publications/state-of-the-law-2011
Highlights for the year include: Passage of marriage equality legislation in New York, the sixth state - plus the District of Columbia - to allow same-sex couples to legally marry; the end of Don't Ask, Don't Tell (DADT), allowing LGB individuals to serve openly in the military; and the determination by the Obama administration that the so-called Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) is unconstitutional and would no longer be defended by the Administration in court.
"2011 was another momentous year of progress for LGBT rights and the rights of those living with HIV," Lambda Legal Executive Director Kevin Cathcart said. "Not only do we justly celebrate marriage equality in New York, the end of DADT and the continuing progress in overturning DOMA, but we also saw important strides in securing equal protections for transgender individuals in four more states, four more states that enacted civil union statutes, federal hospital guidelines that were implemented assuring visitation rights for same-sex couples, and increased focus on protecting LGBT students in schools."
"Significant challenges remain," Cathcart added. "Our country still lacks a federal law making clear that workplace discrimination against LGBT people is illegal, and while a total of 19 states plus the District of Columbia now recognize marriage equality or include in state law some form of legal protection for same-sex couples, 31 states do not. While deportation proceedings of immigrants in formalized same-sex relationships can be placed on hold pending the fate of DOMA, bi-national same-sex couples face great uncertainty. So, too, do LGBT individuals fighting to maintain parental rights, and same-sex couples seeking to secure accurate birth certificates for their children. The list goes on - we have a lot of work to do to secure equality for LGBT people and those living with HIV."
As for what to watch in 2012, the report notes: several lawsuits challenging the constitutionality of DOMA; marriage equality litigation in New Jersey; the continuing battle in California over Prop. 8; marriage equality ballot initiatives or legislative efforts in Maryland, Maine and Washington; discriminatory ballot measures in Minnesota, Michigan, Indiana and North Carolina; efforts to secure equal employment and health care rights for transgender people; efforts to preserve fair and impartial courts, both state and federal; and continued advocacy on behalf of LGBT youth.

Are journalists struggling with objectivity bias when it comes to reporting on the debt ceiling? The Columbia Journalism Review's Ryan Chittum tells Brooke why he thinks the U.S. press has trouble communicating extreme political views. Transcript BROOKE GLADSTONE: In a recent New York Times column about the coverage of the debt ceiling crisis, Paul Krugman was not reluctant to call out the press for failing to communicate what he saw as the dangerous intransigence of the Republican position. He wrote, quote, "What all this means is that there is no penalty for extremism, no way for most voters who get their information on the fly, rather than doing careful study the issues, to understand what's really going on. Ryan Chittum addressed the would-be objective reporter's conundrum in a recent post on CJR. org. RYAN CHITTUM: We do have a problem with dealing with extreme positions. Sometimes we just ignore them, and other times when they clearly have an impact we just don't know how to tell our readers that this is crazy, you know, that people are willing to sink the credit of the United States Government. BROOKE GLADSTONE: So are you saying it's all the Republicans' fault? RYAN CHITTUM: No, I'm not saying that at all. Harry Reid, he could have raised the debt ceiling when Democrats had control of Congress. He wanted the Republicans to share the political blame for it. That was a political calculation that backfired pretty spectacularly. And they bear responsibility for that for playing politics. But the closer you get to D-day, the bigger the chance that it will spiral out of control. And I think that's what's happened here. The Democrats miscalculated and the Republican leadership has too. But the responsibility there is not equal. When you're talking about making a political calculation eight months ago versus eight days out, they're — they're two different stories. BROOKE GLADSTONE: You know, it just makes anyone who goes down this road such an easy target for accusations of liberal bias. What do you say to people who know they're gonna walk down that road? RYAN CHITTUM: Our highest obligation is to find out the truth and, and to tell it, regardless of the consequences. If we don't do that, then we're not doing our jobs. The press has a real aversion to being accused of ideological bias or bias of any sort. You know, we're kind of above the fray. We're just going where the facts lead us. I think the problem there is that it's easier to say he said, she said, rather than determining whether one side is telling the truth and one side is not. It's much harder to do that. It takes much more time. BROOKE GLADSTONE: Right now you work for the Columbia Journalism Review. You used to be a reporter for The Wall Street Journal. RYAN CHITTUM: Right. BROOKE GLADSTONE: Could you really report the way that you say people ought to report when you were a reporter for The Journal? And I don't even mean The Journal under Murdoch. RYAN CHITTUM: No, I — I don't think that this is something that the pre-Murdoch Journal was excluded from at all. This is the culture of American journalism, and The Journal's very much a part of that. This is a cultural problem. It's not something that British journalism, as much as we've criticized them over the past few weeks, has. BROOKE GLADSTONE: That's because people expect British journalism to be, at least in part, ideological. And one reason why the Brits admire American journalism is that supposedly it's not. At least, the good stuff. RYAN CHITTUM: That's the dilemma, right? How do you split the difference between being milk toast and not willing to call people out, and being ideological? These are facts. I think you just have to report the context. You don't have to spell it out and say [LAUGHS], you know, Republicans are at fault. That — you know, that doesn't have to be your lead. BROOKE GLADSTONE: Ryan, thank you very much. RYAN CHITTUM: Thank you. BROOKE GLADSTONE: Ryan Chittum is the deputy editor of The Audit, which analyzes the business press for the Columbia Journalism Review.

Environmental Groups Step Up Campaign Against Natural Gas Drilling
New York, NY —
Environmental groups are stepping up their campaign against a controversial natural gas drilling technique, with their eye on a deadline for public comment at the an end of the month. WNYC's Ilya Marritz has more.
REPORTER: State officials spent more than a year making plans to oversee hydraulic fracturing, a method of getting gas out of the ground.
But environmental groups say the state's 800 page environmental impact statement is flawed. The Natural Resources Defense Council, Riverkeeper, and a host of other groups are asking Governor Paterson to junk the existing review and order a new one.
Separately, the group Environmental Advocates is raising the issue of waste water from drilling sites. They say can't adequately monitor waste water because of staffing cuts. The Department of Environmental Conservation says it's committed to water safety. For WNYC, I'm Ilya Marritz.

Paul Damage Biography
The House of God celebrated its 10th birthday in 2003. Paul is one of the original resident DJs, his highly individual, hip-hop influenced style having gained him a loyal following.
Fellow House of God residents include Sir Real (Round records/ Kracktronik) and Surgeon (Dynamic Tension / Counterbalance). To this day the same DJs still pack the most demanding dance floors in the country and have made the House of God one of the most respected underground nights in the UK.
Managing to stay ahead of the game for over 10 years in such a critical residency, not to mention a busy schedule at numerous clubs both in the UK and overseas is testament to Pauls creative and technical skills.
In addition to his DJ activities, Paul is an established producer and co-founder of the House of God's record label, HOG records, (started in 1997). He also records under his real name, Paul Bailey, on his own critically acclaimed "1881 records imprint.

What made you pissed about it? That they sent the dog in?
If the bus driver were white he would have been all over every news source known to man and have riots and definite jail time facing him
he went too far. while this is awesome for our internet video watching enjoyment, excusing that kind of shite isn't good for society
but let me just say i CANNOT stand girls/guys with this attitude. they act like fricking savages b/c as soon as they get touched it's either (1) you're going to jail now, b/c all i did was rant and rave like a goddamn animal for 15 straight minutes but once you touch me, i'm going to file charges or (2) you're going to get fricked up now by my brother/baby daddy/friend/dad/boyfriend/people
The fact that uppercutting any woman would be okay regardless of the situation just shows that some men are sick,
She refused to press charges on this clown after he maliciously sucker punch her.

What does your daddy do for a living? The oft-asked question is one the two Kuklinski girls do not want to answer. Daddy is a contract killer.
Based on the true story of Richard Kuklinski, "The Iceman" is about a man as devoted to his family as to his job. It just happens that his job is murdering people for money. With his usual brilliance, Michael Shannon ("Take Shelter," "Revolutionary Road") manages to find humanity in the monster that is "Richie" Kuklinski. That humanity is what makes him so terrifying. His wife, Deborah (Winona Ryder), and two teenage daughters, Anabel (McKaley Miller) and Betsy (Megan Sherrill), blindly believe that Daddy dubs cartoons for Disney, while dabbling in Wall Street, which explains their nice suburban home and private school education.
In fact, Richard starts out bootlegging porno for crime captain Roy DeMeo (Ray Liotta), who is impressed by his iron-nerved response to a death threat. Enlisting him as a hit man, Roy continues being impressed until he sees a soft spot, when a 17-year-old girl witness is allowed to live.
Now off Roy's payroll, Richard is forced to go rogue with another murderous monster, Richard Pronge, alias, "Mr. Freezy" (Chris Evans), a mobile ice cream vender, storing corpses among his popsicles.
Ugliness gets embarrassing, when Roy and his henchmen show up at Richard's house during Anabel's birthday party. Innocent Betsy wanders outside to a strange car where daddy is sitting with a gun pointing to his head.
This leads to more killings close to the crime lord, resulting in an attempt on Anabel's life. The number of Richard Kuklinski's victims ranged between 100 and 250, before he died in prison in 2006. In a jailhouse monologue, Shannon, as the killer, voices his controlled rage, saying that his only regret is hurting his family. Though upset, he says it without a single tear.
It's truly chilling to be in the presence of a serial killing sociopath. Michael Shannon takes us there.

I owe a bunch of you a giant apology.
Today, The Girfriend and I really drove around Houston -- Medical Center, the Stadiums, Hobby Airport, Galleria -- and one thing we found that was universal. This town is the next door neighbor to hell.
I thought about my recent posts and realized what a tool I was being. I was insulated from what was going on since I was one of the lucky few who had both power and water. I didnt really step out of my box until this morning. Perspective has a funny way of punching you right in the gut and it did that to me this morning. Other then the radio, this became my only outlet to vent the past few days and I took it out on some of you.
For that, I am indeed sorry.

Does this sound familiar?
"I never know when my 4 month old is going to sleep, eat, etc... Should I be taking steps to put her on a schedule?"
Do babies need to be put on a schedule? How and when should it start?
Is your baby on a schedule? Tell us how you did. Don't think schedules are necessary? Share your opinions below.

Quoting babygomez:
MY kids do. I start a routine/schedule from birth, and it sets in soon after.
I think it is important to form something of a schedule. It doesn't have to be really strict but it really does help babies and kids to understand what is going on and be more cooperative. In my experience anyway.
This :)
Quoting CandiceDanielle:
I believe in a night time routine, to let them know when it's bedtime, but that's it.

The Real Cat's Cradle and Four Other String Figures HTML version
The following movements put the loop on the hands in what for convenience
may be called the First position. Very many string games begin in this way, and the
movements should be learned now, as we shall not repeat the description with every figure.
First: Put the little fingers into the loop of string and separate the hands. You now have a
single loop on each little finger passing directly and uncrossed to the opposite little finger.
Second: Turning the hands with the palms away from you, put each thumb into
the little finger loop from below, and pick up on the back of the thumb the near little finger
string: then, allowing the far little finger string to remain on the little finger, turn the hands
with the palms away from you, put each thumb into the little finger loop from below, and
pick up on the back of the thumb the near little finger string; then, allowing the far little
finger string to remain on the little finger, turn the hands with the palms facing each other,
return the thumbs to their extended position, and draw the strings tight.
In the first position, therefore, there is, on each hand, a string which crosses the
palm, and passing behind the thumb runs to the other hand to form the far little finger string.
It is not essential that the loop shall be put on the hands by the movements just
described; any method will answer, so long as the proper position of the string is secured.
This method, however, has been found to be as easy as any other. The first position is, of
course, absurdly simple, yet it not infrequently puzzles the beginner, largely because it is
the reverse of the first steps in the ordinary Cat's-cradle known to every child.
More than half of the string figures open in the same way; to avoid constant
repetition therefore, we may follow Drs. Rivers and Haddon and call this very general
method of beginning opening A. It should be learned now, because in the descriptions of the
figures in which it occurs, the first movement will be simply noted as Opening A. It is
formed by three movements.
First: Put the loop on the hands in the First Position.
Second: Bring the hands together, and put the right index up under the string which crosses
the left palm, and draw the loop out the back of the finger by separating the hands.
Third: Bring the hands together again, and put the left index up under that part of the string
crossing the palm of the right hand which is between the strings on the right index, and draw
the loop out on the back of the left index by separating the hands.

Help with troubleshooting this noise...
2004 Escalade, 150K miles
So, about a week or so ago I began hearing this humming/whrrrring noise coming somewhere from the front of the Lade (differential, axle, brakes?)
The problem is - the noise is audible only when you are almost to a complete stop (around 10-15mph) until you come to a full stop and only after the truck has been over 40mph.
In other words, if you speed up to let's say 30mph and then slow down - no noise. There is no noise while driving, either.
Took it to my mechanic and replaced the transfer case, since he said it was to the point of me having no AWD, the t-case was that bad. That unfortunately solved nothing. Changed the diff fluids, no help.
I figured I ask here, maybe someone had this problem in the past and knows exactly what may be causing it. I really hope I don't end up replacing the front diff only to still have this noise...
- 03-20-13 03:36 PM #2Originally Posted by atlrus
From what I hear the need to replace a wheel bearing is very common after the 100 150k mile mark
Re: Help with troubleshooting this noise...
Wouldn't a noise from a wheel bearing be louder at higher speeds? In my case the noise is non-existent until you start slowing down and it starts at about 15mph and slower.

Splendor...Good but predictable: Carnival Splendor Cruise Review by Vectorboy
Overall Member Rating
Splendor...Good but predictable
Destination: Mexican Riviera
Embarkation: Los Angeles
Check in was smooth as well. It was then that we were told about the change of itinerary due to hurricane Jimena. We lost PV and Mazatlan as stops but gained Catalina and Ensenada. Having been to both PV and Mazatlan but never to Catalina, we weren't overly disappointed. Carnival threw in a $50pp OBC and 25% off our next cruise. I thought this was overly generous. A Category 4 hurricane bearing down on the Baja is hardly Carnival's fault.
The ship is Carnival's newest and it showed. The decor however is an eyesore of 'pink donuts'. I can't believe that some Carnival exec. signed off on that!
Stateroom was great ( no pink donuts and oh, those Carnival beds), stateroom attendant was as good as any we've ever had (20 cruises) As always, there could be more shelves and hooks scattered about. Shower was great and there was no danger of scalding like some others. More
Breakfast: Buffet was OK nothing more. Standard fare. No smoked salmon or muesli, two of our favorite things. Omelet station of course. We ate mostly in the dining room where you could get smoked salmon. Still no muesli.
Lunch: We never made it to the dining room for lunch. Buffet on the Lido deck was good but still standard cruise fare. They had a Mogolian grill station which I was not able to try because of the line ups. Additional choices were the burger and pizza station by the main pool (great fries!), the sandwich bar by the adult pool aft, (really good) and the Tandoori station again by the adult pool. The east Indian fare such as butter chicken and naan bread was very very good.
Dinner: Again standard cruise fare that was good but not great. Chateaubriand looked great but was not hot enough and the meat was just OK. Prime rib, lamb chops, duck, lobster tail and prawns of course. The well known Chocolate Melting cake was decadent as usual. Did not try the Pinnacle steakhouse restaurant. ($30pp) Our waiter did his job but was a bit of a dud in the personality department. The best thing I can say is that he didn't charge me the corkage fee of $10 for the 2 bottles of wine that we brought.
Entertainment was really good. The singers and dancers were above average I'd say. Saw 2 comedians and a hypnotist as well. They also hosted "The Quest" which is a late night game that you must see
Debarkation was really smooth considering the number of people on this mega ship which by the way never felt like there were almost 5000 people on board.
I really liked the wine special. You pre purchase 5 bottles at a discounted price. There is a special on eye openers (Bloody Marys) before noon that is not well publicized. The beer bucket special is lame. Four bottles for $19 instead of $20. Big deal. If you play poker, bring a winter coat. The a/c is arctic. The casino actually provides blankets for the players. The CD, 'Goose' was quite good save for the incessant announcements over the PA. We like to sleep in and the constant updates on how smoothly the tendering operation was going was mostly unwelcome.

Cabin review: 8B6374 Balcony
Good size. Comfy beds. Good layout for the 3rd sofa bed. Not in the way at all. Room is midship and on deck 6 which is pretty central. For the Mexico cruise we would have preferred the other side of the ship for when we were in Cabo but not a big deal at all.Read All Balcony (8B) Reviews >>

We had a very good time in the house of Laura and Vince. They are very attentive and made shure, that we felt instantly at home. The communication was easy, instant and clear, could not be better. Its wonderful to have such a nice "own" small house in the middle of the city for a really fair prize.
We have been in the appartment for ten days. Vince and Laura picked us up from the airport and from that moment there was a personal click. During our stay we feld at home in their appartment. They were there for tips and advice or for a small talk. During the first week they invited us for a drink at friday. That became a very nice evening with good food and drinks, but especially with a nice conversation. There it appeared that we had mutual interests and that we both like to see each other again. They will come to Holland next year to visit their son. Than they will also come to our place. We are looking forward to that. And, finally, Vince stood up very early the day we flew back and drove us again to the airport. We've got new friends in Vince and Laura.
We spent a great time there. The house was very confortable, clean, big and it is like 15 minutes walking from the Valleta. They are a lovely couple who give us a lot of interesting and practical information. They made us feel like in our own home.
Besides, they They took us to the house and to the airport too.
Definitely, I would rent this home again.
It is a complete house to stay near the city of Valletta. The discription of the house is correct, but there are not many bars in the direct neighbourhood.
Hosts are very friendly.
Vince and Laura are both lovely people and perfect hosts. They made us feel right at home from the beginning of our vacation right 'till the end and could not be more helpful.
The house itself is clean and spacious and is superbly situated near the capital of Valetta and the Sliema. A bus stop at the harbor (~10 minutes walk) will take you most everywhere on the island and a grocery store is right down the street from the house, making this a great location for day trips and evening excursions to Sliema, Valetta and surroundings (to go out for food, for example).
All in all, we would definitely recommend staying at Vince and Laura's if you are planning your holiday in Malta.
Great place, great people. We had a very nice stay at this accomadation. Lot of space. Central located with different busstops nearby.
Die Gastgeber waren unglaublich freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Apartemente war geräumig, sauber und lag zentral. Die Bushaltestelle konnte man in 5 Minuten erreichen und von dort aus in alle Richtungen fahren. Die Unterkunft ist auf jeden Fall, mit sehr gut zu bewerten.
Wir haben uns in der Wohnung sowie mit Vince und Laura sehr wohl gefühlt. Vielen Dank nochmals für die Fahrten zum Flughafen und den kurzen Informationsrundgang in Pieta. Geschäfte und Post sind gut zu erreichen und von den beiden Bustationen aus konnten wir Malta bequem und kostengünstig erkunden. Fahrt zu den Dingli-Klippen - vorallem im Frühjahr, wenn vieles blüht!
Magnifica vacanza..la casa era comoda e c'era tutto il necessario. Si trova in una posizione tranquilla..e vicinissima alla fermata del bus. Non ci vuole molto a raggiungere il centro della vita notturna, ovvero Paceville.
Vince e Laura sono due persone davvero fantastiche..non esiteranno a fornirvi tutto ciò di cui avrete bisogno e sono davvero disponibili e gentili.

Hello Im Pete and 28 years old from North Wales near Wrexham.
Few weeks ago got given 4 tvs for free 32inch black tv sold for £50. Then 14inch black sold £10. Then kept the 14inch one with built in dvd player for my mum and dad had it. Then the 20inch one im swapping for a bmw car LOL.
Im picking the bmw up next month week before end of the month. The bmw is J reg 520i 5 door saloon in red. It has electric front and rear windows. Electric mirrors, sunroof, central locking, alarm, towbar, about 112,000miles. New battery fitted and alloy wheels, spoiler. Power steering model as well not sure if it has abs cant remember. I have taken this car for Mot 2 times for my friend in the past. I wet with him to pick it up of ebay 2 years ago so I know the car well enough. It will have 1 weeks Mot left on it when I get it also 1 week tax. So I will take it for Mot right away if everything goes to plan fingers crossed. Body work excellent condition just needs a t cut and polish to bring the red back and the light fadish red pink away. The engine runs perfect and gear box all good.

Neighbours claimed Mr Varma, a chef who has worked at the RAC Club in London, had feared he would lose his children after falling out with his wife, Alison.
Firefighters took less than an hour to extinguish the blaze. Mr Varma and Chloe were found dead at the scene while Zak was dead on arrival at hospital. Neighbours said Mrs Varma, a school governor and bar worker, moved away from the family home last week with the couple's youngest child, Lee, two. Diana Watson, who lives opposite, said she was "distraught" by what had happened. "How could somebody do this? The children were lovely. We could see their bedroom window from our garden and they used to smile and wave at us.
"I was woken up at about 1.30am by the sound of sirens and saw our next-door neighbour's children crying in the street. I looked out of the door and saw the body of a man being carried out covered in black soot. It was a terrible sight. I didn't see any more. I couldn't bear to look."
Another neighbour, Jo Crocker, said: "I was woken by the fire and I heard someone scream, 'Get the fucking kids out'. I saw the blue flashing lights and then saw them carry a body out."
She said she had heard arguments involving the family across the back fence in recent weeks. "They have been having problems," she added.
A 59-year-old man was arrested and released without charge. He is believed to have been a relative who was trying to save the children. Chief Superintendent Barry Marsden said the cause of the incident was still under investigation but a spokesman confirmed one line of inquiry was that Iain Varma had started the fire.

Welcome to the International Leonard Peltier Defense Committee
We are the hub of communication between Leonard Peltier and his program coordinators, the general public, government officials, political and tribal leaders, the media, and his supporters worldwide.
Imprisoned for 15086 days 19 hours 52 minutes 2 seconds
Who Is Leonard Peltier?
Native American activist Leonard Peltier has spent over 40 years in prison for a crime he did not commit. Prosecutors and federal agents manufactured evidence against him (including the so-called "murder weapon"); hid proof of his innocence; presented false testimony obtained through torturous interrogation techniques; ignored court orders; and lied to the jury. People are commonly set free due to a single constitutional violation, but Peltier—innocent and faced with a staggering number of constitutional violations—has yet to receive equal justice.
Read support statements from former U.S. government officials:
Watch "WARRIOR The Life of Leonard Peltier"
Why Is Peltier Still in Prison?
Eligible since 1986, Peltier is long overdue for parole. The U.S. Parole Commission has yielded to the objections of the FBI and the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) in denying Peltier's applications for parole at every turn—most recently in 2009 when he was told he will not receive another full parole hearing until 2024 when, if he survives, he will have reached nearly the age of 80 years.
Per the Bureau of Justice Statistics, DOJ, from the time of Peltier's conviction in 1977 until the mid-1990s, the average length of imprisonment served for homicide in the U.S. prior to being released on parole ranged from 94 to 99.8 months (about 8 years). Per the existing standards at the time of his sentencing, Peltier is long overdue for discretionary parole. Per 1977 standards, he has served the equivalent of over five life sentences. But, in violation of the Sentencing Reform Act of 1984 (and its amendments), the government has illegally extended Peltier's prison term. Effective on October 12, 1984, the law ordered that parole dates be issued to all "old system" prisoners within the following five-year period, at the end of which time (on October 11, 1989) the U.S. Parole Commission would cease to exist. After it had technically ceased to exist, the Commission claimed it needed more time to complete its work. Congress inexplicably granted several after-the-fact extensions. These extensions were legally invalid and therefore inapplicable because, at the time they were made, the Parole Commission had already been abolished.
Further, Peltier has long been eligible for mandatory release. However, in determining his release date, the government has failed to apply its 30 -year rule. (After 30 years served, all sentences are to be aggregated and the prisoner released.) In addition, the government has not considered the good-time credit earned by Peltier (20 years, to date). Instead, the government has consistently stated that Mr. Peltier's presumptive release date is October 11, 2040.
Leonard Peltier was denied clemency in 2009 by then President Bush and most recently (on January 18, 2017) by President Obama.
Join These and Other Supporters
As it had done over a decade ago, the National Congress of American Indians (representative of over 500 Indian nations in the United States) unanimously passed an historic resolution on Mr. Peltier's behalf in late 2011. See other recent expressions of support here or visit our archive of support statements (made prior to 2009) here. Recognizing that Leonard Peltier has been imprisoned for decades for a crime he did not commit, various other governments, dignitaries, and human rights organizations from around the world also have called for Leonard Peltier's release.

Subtitles and Transcript
0:11 So, the first robot to talk about is called STriDER. It stands for Self-excited Tripedal Dynamic Experimental Robot. It's a robot that has three legs, which is inspired by nature. But have you seen anything in nature, an animal that has three legs? Probably not. So, why do I call this a biologically inspired robot? How would it work? But before that, let's look at pop culture. So, you know H.G. Wells' "War of the Worlds," novel and movie. And what you see over here is a very popular video game, and in this fiction they describe these alien creatures that are robots that have three legs that terrorize Earth. But my robot, STriDER, does not move like this.
0:50 So, this is an actual dynamic simulation animation. I'm just going to show you how the robot works. It flips its body 180 degrees and it swings its leg between the two legs and catches the fall. So, that's how it walks. But when you look at us human being, bipedal walking, what you're doing is you're not really using a muscle to lift your leg and walk like a robot. Right? What you're doing is you really swing your leg and catch the fall, stand up again, swing your leg and catch the fall. You're using your built-in dynamics, the physics of your body, just like a pendulum. We call that the concept of passive dynamic locomotion. What you're doing is, when you stand up, potential energy to kinetic energy, potential energy to kinetic energy. It's a constantly falling process. So, even though there is nothing in nature that looks like this, really, we were inspired by biology and applying the principles of walking to this robot. Thus it's a biologically inspired robot.
1:43 What you see over here, this is what we want to do next. We want to fold up the legs and shoot it up for long-range motion. And it deploys legs — it looks almost like "Star Wars" — when it lands, it absorbs the shock and starts walking. What you see over here, this yellow thing, this is not a death ray. (Laughter) This is just to show you that if you have cameras or different types of sensors — because it is tall, it's 1.8 meters tall — you can see over obstacles like bushes and those kinds of things.
2:07 So we have two prototypes. The first version, in the back, that's STriDER I. The one in front, the smaller, is STriDER II. The problem that we had with STriDER I is it was just too heavy in the body. We had so many motors, you know, aligning the joints, and those kinds of things. So, we decided to synthesize a mechanical mechanism so we could get rid of all the motors, and with a single motor we can coordinate all the motions. It's a mechanical solution to a problem, instead of using mechatronics. So, with this now the top body is light enough. So, it's walking in our lab; this was the very first successful step. It's still not perfected — its coffee falls down — so we still have a lot of work to do.
2:44 The second robot I want to talk about is called IMPASS. It stands for Intelligent Mobility Platform with Actuated Spoke System. So, it's a wheel-leg hybrid robot. So, think of a rimless wheel or a spoke wheel, but the spokes individually move in and out of the hub; so, it's a wheel-leg hybrid. We are literally re-inventing the wheel here. Let me demonstrate how it works. So, in this video we're using an approach called the reactive approach. Just simply using the tactile sensors on the feet, it's trying to walk over a changing terrain, a soft terrain where it pushes down and changes. And just by the tactile information, it successfully crosses over these type of terrain.
3:25 But, when it encounters a very extreme terrain, in this case, this obstacle is more than three times the height of the robot, Then it switches to a deliberate mode, where it uses a laser range finder, and camera systems, to identify the obstacle and the size, and it plans, carefully plans the motion of the spokes and coordinates it so that it can show this kind of very very impressive mobility. You probably haven't seen anything like this out there. This is a very high mobility robot that we developed called IMPASS. Ah, isn't that cool?
3:57 When you drive your car, when you steer your car, you use a method called Ackermann steering. The front wheels rotate like this. For most small wheeled robots, they use a method called differential steering where the left and right wheel turns the opposite direction. For IMPASS, we can do many, many different types of motion. For example, in this case, even though the left and right wheel is connected with a single axle rotating at the same angle of velocity. We just simply change the length of the spoke. It affects the diameter and then can turn to the left, turn to the right. So, these are just some examples of the neat things that we can do with IMPASS.
4:32 This robot is called CLIMBeR: Cable-suspended Limbed Intelligent Matching Behavior Robot. So, I've been talking to a lot of NASA JPL scientists — at JPL they are famous for the Mars rovers — and the scientists, geologists always tell me that the real interesting science, the science-rich sites, are always at the cliffs. But the current rovers cannot get there. So, inspired by that we wanted to build a robot that can climb a structured cliff environment.
4:57 So, this is CLIMBeR. So, what it does, it has three legs. It's probably difficult to see, but it has a winch and a cable at the top — and it tries to figure out the best place to put its foot. And then once it figures that out in real time, it calculates the force distribution: how much force it needs to exert to the surface so it doesn't tip and doesn't slip. Once it stabilizes that, it lifts a foot, and then with the winch it can climb up these kinds of thing. Also for search and rescue applications as well.
5:24 Five years ago I actually worked at NASA JPL during the summer as a faculty fellow. And they already had a six legged robot called LEMUR. So, this is actually based on that. This robot is called MARS: Multi-Appendage Robotic System. So, it's a hexapod robot. We developed our adaptive gait planner. We actually have a very interesting payload on there. The students like to have fun. And here you can see that it's walking over unstructured terrain. It's trying to walk on the coarse terrain, sandy area, but depending on the moisture content or the grain size of the sand the foot's soil sinkage model changes. So, it tries to adapt its gait to successfully cross over these kind of things. And also, it does some fun stuff, as can imagine. We get so many visitors visiting our lab. So, when the visitors come, MARS walks up to the computer, starts typing "Hello, my name is MARS." Welcome to RoMeLa, the Robotics Mechanisms Laboratory at Virginia Tech.
6:17 This robot is an amoeba robot. Now, we don't have enough time to go into technical details, I'll just show you some of the experiments. So, this is some of the early feasibility experiments. We store potential energy to the elastic skin to make it move. Or use an active tension cords to make it move forward and backward. It's called ChIMERA. We also have been working with some scientists and engineers from UPenn to come up with a chemically actuated version of this amoeba robot. We do something to something And just like magic, it moves. The blob.
6:51 This robot is a very recent project. It's called RAPHaEL. Robotic Air Powered Hand with Elastic Ligaments. There are a lot of really neat, very good robotic hands out there in the market. The problem is they're just too expensive, tens of thousands of dollars. So, for prosthesis applications it's probably not too practical, because it's not affordable. We wanted to go tackle this problem in a very different direction. Instead of using electrical motors, electromechanical actuators, we're using compressed air. We developed these novel actuators for joints. It is compliant. You can actually change the force, simply just changing the air pressure. And it can actually crush an empty soda can. It can pick up very delicate objects like a raw egg, or in this case, a lightbulb. The best part, it took only $200 dollars to make the first prototype.
7:36 This robot is actually a family of snake robots that we call HyDRAS, Hyper Degrees-of-freedom Robotic Articulated Serpentine. This is a robot that can climb structures. This is a HyDRAS's arm. It's a 12 degrees of freedom robotic arm. But the cool part is the user interface. The cable over there, that's an optical fiber. And this student, probably the first time using it, but she can articulate it many different ways. So, for example in Iraq, you know, the war zone, there is roadside bombs. Currently you send these remotely controlled vehicles that are armed. It takes really a lot of time and it's expensive to train the operator to operate this complex arm. In this case it's very intuitive; this student, probably his first time using it, doing very complex manipulation tasks, picking up objects and doing manipulation, just like that. Very intuitive.
8:26 Now, this robot is currently our star robot. We actually have a fan club for the robot, DARwIn: Dynamic Anthropomorphic Robot with Intelligence. As you know, we are very interested in humanoid robot, human walking, so we decided to build a small humanoid robot. This was in 2004; at that time, this was something really, really revolutionary. This was more of a feasibility study: What kind of motors should we use? Is it even possible? What kinds of controls should we do? So, this does not have any sensors. So, it's an open loop control. For those who probably know, if you don't have any sensors and there are any disturbances, you know what happens. (Laughter)
9:02 So, based on that success, the following year we did the proper mechanical design starting from kinematics. And thus, DARwIn I was born in 2005. It stands up, it walks — very impressive. However, still, as you can see, it has a cord, umbilical cord. So, we're still using an external power source and external computation.
9:21 So, in 2006, now it's really time to have fun. Let's give it intelligence. We give it all the computing power it needs: a 1.5 gigahertz Pentium M chip, two FireWire cameras, rate gyros, accelerometers, four force sensors on the foot, lithium polymer batteries. And now DARwIn II is completely autonomous. It is not remote controlled. There are no tethers. It looks around, searches for the ball, looks around, searches for the ball, and it tries to play a game of soccer, autonomously: artificial intelligence. Let's see how it does. This was our very first trial, and... Spectators (Video): Goal!
9:59 Dennis Hong: So, there is actually a competition called RoboCup. I don't know how many of you have heard about RoboCup. It's an international autonomous robot soccer competition. And the goal of RoboCup, the actual goal is, by the year 2050 we want to have full size, autonomous humanoid robots play soccer against the human World Cup champions and win. It's a true actual goal. It's a very ambitious goal, but we truly believe that we can do it.
10:27 So, this is last year in China. We were the very first team in the United States that qualified in the humanoid RoboCup competition. This is this year in Austria. You're going to see the action, three against three, completely autonomous. There you go. Yes! The robots track and they team play amongst themselves. It's very impressive. It's really a research event packaged in a more exciting competition event. What you see over here, this is the beautiful Louis Vuitton Cup trophy. So, this is for the best humanoid, and we would like to bring this for the very first time, to the United States next year, so wish us luck. (Applause) Thank you.
11:10 DARwIn also has a lot of other talents. Last year it actually conducted the Roanoke Symphony Orchestra for the holiday concert. This is the next generation robot, DARwIn IV, but smarter, faster, stronger. And it's trying to show off its ability: "I'm macho, I'm strong. I can also do some Jackie Chan-motion, martial art movements." (Laughter) And it walks away. So, this is DARwIn IV. And again, you'll be able to see it in the lobby. We truly believe this is going to be the very first running humanoid robot in the United States. So, stay tuned.
11:46 All right. So I showed you some of our exciting robots at work. So, what is the secret of our success? Where do we come up with these ideas? How do we develop these kinds of ideas? We have a fully autonomous vehicle that can drive into urban environments. We won a half a million dollars in the DARPA Urban Challenge. We also have the world's very first vehicle that can be driven by the blind. We call it the Blind Driver Challenge, very exciting. And many, many other robotics projects I want to talk about. These are just the awards that we won in 2007 fall from robotics competitions and those kinds of things.
12:17 So, really, we have five secrets. First is: Where do we get inspiration? Where do we get this spark of imagination? This is a true story, my personal story. At night when I go to bed, 3 - 4 a.m. in the morning, I lie down, close my eyes, and I see these lines and circles and different shapes floating around. And they assemble, and they form these kinds of mechanisms. And then I think, "Ah this is cool." So, right next to my bed I keep a notebook, a journal, with a special pen that has a light on it, LED light, because I don't want to turn on the light and wake up my wife.
12:45 So, I see this, scribble everything down, draw things, and I go to bed. Every day in the morning, the first thing I do before my first cup of coffee, before I brush my teeth, I open my notebook. Many times it's empty, sometimes I have something there — if something's there, sometimes it's junk — but most of the time I can't even read my handwriting. And so, 4 am in the morning, what do you expect, right? So, I need to decipher what I wrote. But sometimes I see this ingenious idea in there, and I have this eureka moment. I directly run to my home office, sit at my computer, I type in the ideas, I sketch things out and I keep a database of ideas. So, when we have these calls for proposals, I try to find a match between my potential ideas and the problem. If there is a match we write a research proposal, get the research funding in, and that's how we start our research programs.
13:31 But just a spark of imagination is not good enough. How do we develop these kinds of ideas? At our lab RoMeLa, the Robotics and Mechanisms Laboratory, we have these fantastic brainstorming sessions. So, we gather around, we discuss about problems and social problems and talk about it. But before we start we set this golden rule. The rule is: Nobody criticizes anybody's ideas. Nobody criticizes any opinion. This is important, because many times students, they fear or they feel uncomfortable how others might think about their opinions and thoughts.
14:03 So, once you do this, it is amazing how the students open up. They have these wacky, cool, crazy, brilliant ideas, and the whole room is just electrified with creative energy. And this is how we develop our ideas.
14:16 Well, we're running out of time. One more thing I want to talk about is, you know, just a spark of idea and development is not good enough. There was a great TED moment, I think it was Sir Ken Robinson, was it? He gave a talk about how education and school kills creativity. Well, actually, there are two sides to the story. So, there is only so much one can do with just ingenious ideas and creativity and good engineering intuition. If you want to go beyond a tinkering, if you want to go beyond a hobby of robotics and really tackle the grand challenges of robotics through rigorous research we need more than that. This is where school comes in.
14:55 Batman, fighting against bad guys, he has his utility belt, he has his grappling hook, he has all different kinds of gadgets. For us roboticists, engineers and scientists, these tools, these are the courses and classes you take in class. Math, differential equations. I have linear algebra, science, physics, even nowadays, chemistry and biology, as you've seen. These are all the tools that we need. So, the more tools you have, for Batman, more effective at fighting the bad guys, for us, more tools to attack these kinds of big problems. So, education is very important.
15:29 Also, it's not about that, only about that. You also have to work really, really hard. So, I always tell my students, "Work smart, then work hard." This picture in the back this is 3 a.m. in the morning. I guarantee if you come to your lab at 3 - 4 am we have students working there, not because I tell them to, but because we are having too much fun. Which leads to the last topic: Do not forget to have fun. That's really the secret of our success, we're having too much fun. I truly believe that highest productivity comes when you're having fun, and that's what we're doing. There you go. Thank you so much. (Applause)

The group, which militates against sex, violence and profanity on television, said it began working with pharmas to address parents' concerns about erectile dysfunction (ED) drug ads two years ago, when a representative spoke at Lilly's annual meeting, and followed up in talks with Pfizer, Lilly and GlaxoSmithKline (which later discontinued advertising for its ED drug, Levitra).
"We applaud all three companies for their willingness to address the concerns raised by parents, grandparents and others who have been caught off guard by ED advertisements," said the group's president, Tim Winter, in a statement.
Pharmas typically hold their media schedules close to their vests for competitive reasons.TV ads for ED drugs have for years been a particular sore point with legislators and the public, and PhRMA has twice in the past five years issued rules for when and where companies can air them, seeking to blunt congressional momentum for restrictions on consumer advertising.

Overview for A Birdwatchers' Guide to IndiaThis exhaustive site guide to India provides bird and wildlife watchers with all the information they might need before or during a birdwatching tour. It contains comprehensive and up-to-date descriptions of the major, and many minor, areas of natural history interest; a selective bird list, which furnishes the latest details of the distribution and status of uncommon and sought-after species; and the most up-to-date checklist of Indian birds. The first ever-comprehensive checklist of Indian mammals and accurate site maps are an especially valuable feature. Not only does the book include extensive information on permits, where to stay, how to get there, the best time to visit, and strategies for finding the most interesting birds and other wildlife at each site, it also provides pre-tour information on accommodation, health, climate, and clothing. This book is a must for birders, wildlife enthusiasts and conservationists, as well as anyone visiting the foremost national parks and sanctuaries of India, whether as a tourist or specialist.
Raj Singh (Author)Raj Singh was born in Bharatpur, near the Keoladeo Ghana National Park, one of the finest birdwatching areas in the world. It is thus not surprising that he early on developed an interest in birds and natural history. He obtained his BSc and LLB from the University of Rajasthan in Jaipur, but his expertise soon led to him guiding others in their ornithological visits to India. His own explorations and tours have taken him all over the country. Raj Singh now lives together with his wife and their young son in Oxford but he spends much of his time back in India running Exotic Journeys/Indian Experience, his tour operating business, and occasionally still leading wildlife tours. He is heavily involved in local conservation projects in India into which he ploughs back some of the profits from his company. He is a Life Member of the Bombay Natural History Society and WWF India, and a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society. He has also co-authored the popular A Field Guide to the Mammals of the Indian Subcontinent.
Krys Kazmierczak (Author)Krys Kazmierczak was born and grew up in London. After completing a degree in mathematics at Brimingham University he was bitten by the travel bug and has mainly lived and worked abroad since 1975. He has been making extensive tours of India and other parts of South Asia since 1980 and his enthusiasm for birds and wildlife has taken him to all corners of the Subcontinent, both privately and as a tour leader. He is a Council Member of the Oriental Bird Club, and Life Member of the Bombay Natural History Society, Ceylon Bird Club and Bird Conservation Nepal. In 1999 he founded Oriental Birding, a free internet discussion group for all those interested in wild Asian birds. His authoritative A Field Guide to the Birds of India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and the Maldives was published in 2000. he currently manages Peregrine Holidays, a specialist natural history tour operator based in Oxford.
