The National Cancer Institute (NCI), the largest component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), is the nation's premier biomedical research facility and a world leader in cancer research. NCI recognizes the importance of identifying, training, and mentoring talented researchers from populations underrepresented in science and individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Toward this end, the NCI created the Introduction to Cancer Research Careers (ICRC) Program. The ICRC Program sponsors highly-qualified students on a sponsored, two-day visit to the NIH located in Bethesda, Maryland. ICRC participants will have the opportunity to tour the facilities of the NCI and the NIH, listen to and network with research fellows, and potentially interview for an internship with NCI Investigators. This program provides participants with the opportunity to experience the NCI first-hand and personally interact with the world's leading cancer researchers.
Successful candidates for the ICRC Program will have a strong academic record, demonstrated research experience, and a commitment to a career in biomedical, behavioral, or population science research.

By Sidney Sheldon
(This is the last article written before he passed away on January 30, 2007)
Perhaps the least appreciated, but for my money, the most important link on the chain in the medical field is the Caregiver.
I was firmly opposed to the idea of a Caregiver. Most of my doctors were for it. Then the unexpected happened. I fell down crossing my living room floor. When I was awakened, I was in the emergency ward at the Eisenhower Medical Center. I found that I had been given three caregivers, one for every eight hours. Since I had trouble standing, it was a foregone conclusion that they would be mine for a long time. They are still with and its been several months.
What is a caregiver? Someone who is trained to assist patients incapacitated in some way. The Caregivers go through a training period and receive a certificate before they can work. I did not like the idea of strangers judging my naked body. In this case, I had nothing to say about it. The Caregivers were with me continually one of them at a time. I could not move without one of them at my side. I must say that I was more and more grateful because every time I tried to walk alone, I fell down. I received a series of services that I had not anticipated. When I woke up in the morning, my Caregiver brushed my teeth, bathed me, dressed me and combed my hair. While this was done efficiently and courteously, there were more personal things that I still objected to, but I had no say in the matter. I could not fault any of them. They were very cooperative and tried to anticipate my needs and serve a vital function. Caregivers are compromised of both sexes. Women take care of men and women and men take care of men and women. No false modesty permitted.
When you are well, of course, you don't need them. But when your body is causing you serious trouble, competent Caregivers are invaluable. Any hospital will refer you to Caregivers. What, I think, most impressed me about them is that they go out of their way looking for ways to be of help. They made the beds and helped around the house. Caregivers are a big step in fighting adversity. My autobiography, THE OTHER SIDE OF ME, is a textbook for succeeding against problems that life sometimes deals us. Life is a tough gig.
My advice, "hang in there."
Mr. Sheldon would have been 90 years old on February 11, 2007.

Advanced Micro Devices and Hynix Semiconductor have made it into the Top 10 ranking of semiconductor companies for the first time, according to preliminary forecasts for 2006 revenue from research company iSuppli.
AMD was helped by strong growth in microprocessor sales, but its acquisition of ATI Technologies is the primary reason for its near doubling of sales in 2006, iSuppli said. Its revenue for the year is expected to reach $7.5 billion, putting it in seventh place in the worldwide ranking. AMD would have made the Top 10 in 2005, but spinning off its Spansion division that year pushed it down to 15th place.
For Hynix, strong sales of DRAM (dynamic RAM) and NAND flash memory chips lifted the company into eighth place for 2006, with expected revenue of $7.4 billion, up from $5.6 billion in 2005, iSuppli said.
Infineon Technologies and NEC Electronics both lost spots in the Top 10. If Infineon hadn't spun off Qimonda, it would have moved up from sixth place to fourth for the year. Instead, Infineon moved down to 14th place. NEC slipped from number eight to number 11, after a revenue decline of 0.2 percent, iSuppli said.
Intel and Renesas Technology are the only other two companies in the Top 10 to see their revenue decline. Intel still holds on to the top spot, but declining sales of its microprocessors and NOR flash memory chips are expected to pull revenue down by 11.6 percent for the year, iSuppli said. Intel's divestiture of its XScale mobile phone chip business had only a minor affect on its revenue, iSuppli said.
The other seven companies in the top ten not only grew their revenue, but they beat the overall projected 9 percent growth rate for the industry. Texas Instruments is the standout in the Top 10, with revenue for the year expected to grow 19.4 percent.
iSuppli's list predicted the year's top 25 semiconductor makers. Beyond the Top 10, Qualcomm, Broadcom, Elpida Memory, and Spansion are all expected to report growth of more than 25 percent for the year.
iSuppli estimates that overall semiconductor sales for 2006 will reach $258.5 billion, up from $237.3 billion last year.

History and Antiquities of the Diocese of Ossory
, Volume III. pp. 79-82
They belonged originally to Co. Kerry ; removed thence to Cloran, in the Co. Tipperary ; and, during the 15th century settled down in Kilkenny where the anglicized their name Shethe. Robert Shee or Shethe was Sovereign of Kilkenny in 1493 and 1496 ; and was slain in battle, at Mealiffe, or Maoyaliff, Co. Tipperary, Aug. 6th, 1500, while leading 100 Kilkenny men under the standard of Sir Piers Butler, afterwards 8th Earl of Ormond, against Turlogh O'Brien. Richard Shee, his only son, Sovereign of Kilkenny in 1522, 1532, and 1536, married Joan, daughter of Elias Archer, of New Ross, and had the following male issue :
I. Edmund.
II. Nicholas, who married Beale Walsh. Their son, Henry Shee, Mayor of Kilkenny in Nov. 1610 and Feb. 1611, married, 1st Frances Crispe ; and 2ndly, ---- White, sister of the Very Rev. Dr. White, S.J., and died in 1615. He was founder of the Shee house in High Street (now occupied by Mrs. Meany), a slab in the front wall of which bears his coat of arms, impaling that of his first wife, with the initials H.S. and the inscription : "Henry Shee of Kilkeni, gentleman, & Frances Crisp, his wife's, armes.
Robert Shee, son and heir of Henry, married Catherine Archer, and died Sept. 27th, 1615. He was succeeded by his eldest son, Henry, who married Dorothy, daughter of Lucas Shee and grand-daughter of Sir Richard Shee, and died Oct, 19th, 1638, in his 30th year, leaving a son and heir, Robert, who forfeited under Cromwell in 1653.
III. William married Margaret Walsh, and died, according to the inscription on his tomb in St. Mary's churchyard, on the 18th April, 1584. He was father of the Reverends John and James Shee, priests, who rest beneath a Renaissance monument in St. Caince's Cathedral. He had, besides these, five other sons, from whom descended, most probably, Dr. Patrick Shee, Bishop of Ossory, and the Shees of Sheepstown and Derrynahinch.
IV. Robert, of whom presently.
V. Thomas, who married Beale Walsh.
Robert Shee, whom some authorities make the 4th, and others the eldest, son of Richard Shee and Joan Archer, served as Sovereign of Kilkenny in 1545 and 1553, and was M.P. of the town in 1559. He married Margaret Rothe, and by her had,
I. Richard, afterwards Sir Richard, his heir, of whom presently.
II. Elias, of Clonmoran, who was educated at Oxford, and is described by Stanihurst as "Elias Sheth, born in Kilkenny, some time scholar of Oxford, a gentleman of passing good wit, a pleasing conceited companion, full of mirth without gall. He wrote in English divers sonnets." He died in 1613, and is buried in St. Mary's, where his monument still remains. By his wife, Margaret Archer, he had a son, George, whose son, Elias, forfeited under Cromwell and was transplanted to Connaught. From this branch of the Shee family descended Sir Martin Archer Shee, P.R.A., and Sir George Shee, Bart., Dunmore, Co. Galway, which latter died without issue in 1870, aged 86.
III. Marcus.
IV. Mathew.
V. Andrew.
Sir Richard Shee, the eldest of these brothers, must be reckoned among the most famous of the old citizens of Kilkenny. He was a student of Gray's Inn, and a Bencher of the King's Inns, and was Seneschal of Irishtown in 1568. In 1570 he had a grant from Christopher Gaffney, Protestant Bishop of Ossory, of the manor and lands of Uppercourt, at a yearly rent of 10 pounds. He was Treasurer of the regalities of Tipperary in 1571, and Deputy to the Lord Treasurer of Ireland, and received the honour of knighthood soon after 1582. In his capacity of lawyer he was professionally engaged for many years by Thomas, Earl of Ormond. He succeeded in acquiring an immense amount of property in the city and county, all of which is specifically set forth in two Inquisitions, one at Kilkenny in 1609, the other at Thomastown in 1623. He was founder of the Shee's Alms House in Rose Inn Street, Kilkenny. He died at his castle of Bonnetstown, Aug., 10th, 1608, and is buried beneath his own monument in St. Mary's. His end was very exemplary, as appears from the "Annual Letter" for the year 1608, written by the Jesuit Fathers of the Irish Province to the Father General of the Order [quoted in the book]. (Note: Sir Richard Shee of Uppercourt is noted as a tenant of the Earl of Ormond, 1595-6, in Tulleglis, Ardlow, Cloran, Garannemanoge and Rathcaishe in Co. Kilkenny [
Red Book of Ormond
, p. 88])
Sir Richard Shee was twice married, 1st, to Margaret Sherlock, daughter of John Sherlock, of Waterford ; and 2ndly, to Margaret, daughter of Christopher Fagan, of Dublin, Alderman. By his first wife, by whom alone he left issue, he had five sons and four daughters, viz. ;
(1) Robert, the eldest, who died in England, in his father's lifetime, leaving no issue.
(2) Lucas, of Uppercourt, his second son, but eventually his heir. In fulfilment of his father's will, he procured the charter of incorporation for the Shee Alms House in Rose Inn Street, in 1609. He was M.P., Kilkenny County, in 1613-15. He died July 27th, 1622, aged 56 years, and is buried under his own monument in St. Mary's. By his wife, Ellen, daughter of Richard, 3rd Viscount Mountgarret, and grand-daughter of Brian, 1st Lord Baron of Upper Ossory, he had, with other issue, a son and heir, Robert Shee of Uppercourt and Cloran, in whose house, in Coal Market, the General Assembly of the Confederation of Kilkenny held its earlier sittings, and who forfeited under Cromwell in 1653.
(3) Thomas, of Freneystown. He married Ellen Dobbyn of Waterford, and died issueless in Oct., 1636.
(4) John, sometime Mayor of Kilkenny, who died Nov. 13th, 1633, leaving a son, Richard, and a daughter, Anne.
(5) Marcus of Sheestown, ancestor of the Shees of Sheestown and Gardenmorris.
(6) Lettice, wife of John Grace, of Courtstown.
(7) Katherine, wife of Edmund Cantwell, of Moycarky.
(8) Margate, wife of James Walsh, of Waterford.
(9) Isabel, wife of David, eldest son of Robert Rothe, of Kilkenny.
The Old Parliament House
The following passages comes from Carrigan's
History and Antiquities of the Diocese of Ossory
, Volume III. pp. 61-62
The so-called Parliament House of Kilkenny stood in Parliament Street (till lately known as Cola Market), between the National Bank and the Court House, on the site now occupied by the entrance gate of the New Market. It is described by one who saw it shortly after its demolition, as an Elizabethan structure, "so modernised in its front elevation as in no way to attract observation of any person unacquainted with its history," but preserving, in the rere, "many of its original features, in the shape of arched doorways, massive stone chimney shafts, gargoyles, mullioned windows with drip lables ; and internally, massive chimney-pieces." It is generally supposed to have been identical with Emling's Hall or Emlyn's Hall, the town house, or one of the town houses, of Sir Richard Shee, Knight. Sir Richard resided in Emlyn's Hall till the marriage of his son and heir, Lucas Shee, with the Honourable Ellen Butler, daughter of Edmund, 2nd Viscount Mountgarret, and sister of Helena, afterwards Countess of Ormond, when he gave them this house to live in till they should succeed him in his property at his death. He died at his castle of Bonnetstown, August 10, 1608. He had married a second wife, Margaret, daughter of Alderman Christopher Fagan, of Dublin, and by his will, dated Dec. 24th, 1603, he directed that, in case she survived him, she should live, during her widowhood, wither in the castle of Bonnetstown or in Emlyn's Hall ; but by codicil to the will, dated a year subsequently, he directed that his son, Lucas, should dwell at Bonnetstown, and his widow solely at Emlyn's Hall. ...
Lucas Shee, son of Richard, died at Uppercourt, his chief country residence, in 1622, being them 56 years of age. Robert Shee, his son and heir, who succeeded him, appears to have been a gentleman of much local influence and consideration, as well from his property as from his relationship, through his mother, to the noble houses of Mountgarret and Ormond. He frequently resided in the old family mansion in Kilkenny, and was an Alderman of the city, and Mayor of same in 1633-4. In a deposition of 1642 he is also styled "late High Sheriff of the county of Kilkenny." He appears to have taken a very active part in organizing his native county for the great Catholic struggle begun in 1641. He is named, in the depositions of the period, as one of the four gentlemen, through whose influence the Lord Mountgarret, then Governor of the County of Kilkenny, was prevailed on to join the national movement ; and in his town residence in Coal Market, tradition states the great National Assembly of Oct. 24th, 1642, to have been held. ...
We are unable to say how long the old Parliament House continued to be used for the Confederate assemblies. It is certain that when Rinuccini, the Papal Nuncio, arrived in Kilkenny, he was received by a meeting of the Supreme Council, at Ormond Castle ; and the probability is that the assemblies of the Confederate Catholics had been transferred to the castle soon after the important meeting of October 24th, 1642. ...
The Parliament House was taken down, and the New Market opened, in the year 1862.
The Shees, or O'Sheas, of Sheestown and Gardenmorris
The following passages comes from Carrigan's
History and Antiquities of the Diocese of Ossory
, Volume III. pp. 226-228
They descend from Marcus, the son of Sir Richard Shee. The said Marcus Shee, of Sheestown otherwise Wassehays, was still living in Cromwell's time, and managed to retain his property in Wassehays, and to obtain grants of lands in Kilree and Wallslough, under the Commonwealth. He married Ellen, daughter of Oliver Grace of Courtstown, son of Baron Sir John Grace, and by her had five sons, viz. (1) Richard, his heir, of whom presently ; (2) John ; (3) Lucas ; (4) James, who was most probably father of Christopher Shee of Stonecarty and Rosseneany, ancestor of the Shees of Abbeyview near Clonmel ; (5) Thomas.
Richatd, his eldest son and heir, of Sheestown, married Rose, daughter of Peter Rothe. By his last will, made Oct. 8th, 1687, and proved before the end of the same year, he bequeaths his property to his son, Marcus ; remainder to his eldest grandson, Richard Shee fitzMarcus ; remainder to his second grandson, Nicholas Shee fitzMarcus ; remainder to his third grandson, John Shee fitzMarcus ; remainder to his fourth grandson, Robert Shee fitzMarcus, born since the will was drawn up, but before it was signed ; remainder to the heirs of his father, Marcus Shee ; remainder to the heirs of his grandfather, Sir Richard Shee ; he leaves 100 pounds for funeral and "charitable uses to pray for me ;" and he further bequests to his nephews, Garret Comerford, Nicholas Shee and Christopher Shee, and niece, Mary Shee. Witnesses: Thomas Cantwell, James Comerford, Christopher Shee and Garret Comerford. His son and successor (was),
Marcus Shee of Washes Hayes, was outlawed as a Jacobite, Ap. 21st, 1691. By his wife, Mary, daughter of Nicholas Pluknet, Esq., of Dunsoghly, he had ;
(1) Richard, his heir, of whom presently.
(2) Nicholas.
(3) John, of Ballyreddin, in 1722. His son or grandson, Colonel John Shee, fought and fled at Bunker's Hill in 1775 ; was a Protestant, and built the Protestant church of Bennetsbridge in 1795 ; and died in 1812, aged 75. John Shee of Ballyreddin, the Colonel's son and successor, gave the site of Bennetsbridge chapel in 1822 ; left no issue ; and was succeeded by his brother Richard, whose son and successor, James O'Shea, died in Australia, in 1890.
(4) Robert, born in 1687.
(5) Marcus, born after 1687.
Richard Shee, the eldest son of Marcus Shee and Mary Plunket, was one of the few Irish Papists to whom licenses for the use of a sword, a case of pistols and a gun, were issued in the year 1713. He died in 1748. His son, Marcus Shee, of Sheestown, was father of John Shee or O'Shea, of Sheestown. John married Elizabeth, daughter and heir of Richard Power of Gardenmorris, Co. Waterford, in Sept. 1767, and by her was father of Richard Power O'Shea of Gardenmorris and Sheestown, father of Nicholas Richard Power O'Shea, Esq., J.P.,D.L. of Gardenmorris and Sheestown, who died forfeited by the rites of Holy Church, April 5th, 1902, aged 81, and is buried in Sheestown churchyard.
The old Sheestown House, the former seat of the Shee family, was thrown down in 1883.

It thinks its system of concepts freely on the occasion of the affections of the receptivity.
At the end of thirty days, we will mail you the Second Degree (for receptivity).
To combine sympathy, patience, and receptivity with cool and critical judgment is well-nigh impossible for ordinary men and women.
The love of Nature, the different love, is a matter of our own receptivity.
Immeasurably more needful of receptivity born of silence, is the contact with the infinite realm of spirit.
The imperfection of the healer, and the lack of receptivity in the patient, are local limitations.
One striking peculiarity was his extraordinary "receptivity" of all outward impressions.
One of the most interesting things about Forster was his "receptivity."
This questioning state of mind is one highly to be desired, as it is a state of receptivity.
As with everything good in human life, back of this receptivity is God.

UB football was full of firsts in 2007Turner Gills second season as Bulls head coach and one in which he was named Mid-American Conference (MAC) Coach of the Year.
The season began with a 42-7 rout of Temple in the Bulls first 2007 MAC game. Forty-two points is a UB record for most points scored in a MAC road game. Junior quarterback Drew Willys 20-of-22 performance also was a school record for completion percentage (91 percent) for more than 20 attempts in a game.
Returning home to UB Stadium on October 6, the Buffalo faithful celebrated Homecoming in style, as they watched the Bulls defeat the Ohio Bobcats 31-10.
The Bulls defended their home turf once again against Toledo on October 13, downing the Rockets by 10 points, thanks to a stellar performance by sophomore running back James Starks. He scored UBs first touchdown and set a UB Stadium record for rushing with 231 yards.
Though the Bulls fell to Bowling Green, 3117, in their final home game, there were more impressive stats in this game, too: Starks became the first back since Anthony Swan in 1996 to break the 1,000-yard barrier. Willy, meanwhile, set a new school record for completions in a season (224).
Buffalo completed its season with an overtime victory at Kent State, giving the Bulls a 5-3 record in the MAC while finishing the season 5-7 overall. After its best season since joining the conference, Buffalo finished atop the MAC East and earned a share of the division title with Miami (Ohio) and Bowling Green.
Top Row: Woods, Shannon, Richard; Middle Row: Scott, Starks, Hutchinson; Bottom Row: Byron, Niedermier, Roosevelt
A successful athletics season is the work of many individuals displaying their talents. In 2007, nine UB Bulls were recognized for their specific achievements on the field.
Senior punter Ben Woods was selected as a semifinalist for the Ray Guy Award, which is given to the best collegiate punter in the nation and is based on various punting statistics, including total yardage punted, net average and average return yards.
UB had eight players named All-MAC after its record-setting 2007 season, which culminated in the Bulls earning a share of the MAC East division title. Freshman Davonte Shannon earned first-team kudos, while seniors Jamey Richard and Trevor Scott, as well as sophomore James Starks earned second-team accolades. Seniors Larry Hutchinson and Kareem Byrom, junior Jeff Niedermier and sophomore Naaman Roosevelt all were third-team selections.
In addition, Richard was invited to play in the Hula Bowl in Honolulu, HI, while Scott will participate in the Texas vs. the Nation game in El Paso, TX. These are senior all-star games that showcase players for NFL and professional scouts.
In her fourth and final year at UB, senior basketball forward Heather Turner once again received honors from the Mid-American Conference, this time as a preseason All-MAC East team member.
Turner has been recognized by the conference each year of her career in Blue and White. She was named the 200405 Freshman of the Year, then found herself on the Third Team All-MAC after her sophomore year. Following her junior year, she was chosen as an honorable mention in the postseason.
The West Seneca, NY, native is on pace to finish her career in the top 10 of both scoring and rebounding. Indeed, she was the fastest UB female basketball player to break the 1,000-point marka feat she accomplished in her junior year.
The universitys CHAMPS/Life Skills Program received the highest honor possiblethe Program of Excellencefrom the Division IA Athletic Directors Association at its annual banquet, which took place in Dallas, TX.
UBs chapter of CHAMPSwhich stands for Challenging Athletes Minds for Personal Successwas recognized for its success in helping to fully develop the universitys student athletes on academic, athletic and personal levels, along with contributing to the community and fostering athletes career preparation.
The CHAMPS/Life Skills program, says Warde Manuel, UB director of athletics, is designed to help students growto grow not only in the educational environment, but also to grow as people and as citizens.
This is the second time the UB program has been honored by the association. Last year it was selected as a Program of Merit.

LEBANON -- When Cumberland University's new Dean of Fine Arts Ted Rose was asked to speak at the luncheon introducing him last week at Five Oaks Country Club, he said it was difficult for him to decide what to talk about.
"I could talk for an hour about my faculty," Rose said. "They're not just professors, they're artists, performers who students see as role models."
He added that he thinks it is important for professors to have experience in the field they teach.
In his actual speech he told those gathered that he wants to put what he has learned both as a working artist and working in corporate America into practice for the students at CU.

SALINA, Kan. — Jason Heis of the Salina Bassmasters has the karma for catching big bass in his club's tournaments. At last count, the tally was up to four trophy bass awards so far this year, with the latest coming to fruition as the new smallmouth state record.
Heis was fishing in a mid-August tournament held on Milford Lake when the lucky strike occurred at high noon. The fish weighed 6.69 pounds and measured 22 1/2 inches in length, with a girth of 15 5/8 inches. Ironically, the previous record, weighing 6.37 pounds, also came from Milford.
A 4-inch watermelon flake Wolf Tackle Trick Stick produced the catch. Heis had the soft plastic stickbait rigged on a 3/0 Gamakatsu offset wide gap hook tied to 10-pound-test Berkley Trilene Big Game monofilament line. A 6 1/2-foot medium action Shimano Compre rod and Shimano Stradic reel completed the record-smashing outfit.
Beyond that, here's the story — as told by the record holder:
"I was near the dam and throwing the lure from out in 25 feet of water up into about 2 or 3 feet of water. I'd let it fall and then twitch it to deeper water, allowing it to fall again all the way back to the boat."
He added that the fish came from relatively clear water and under sunny skies, with a 15-mph breeze blowing from the south.
The previous record had stood since April 1997, until the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks certified Heis' catch as the new frontrunner for Kansas.

Beijing (AFP) Feb 11, 2014
China's gold consumption soared 41.36 percent in 2013, industry data showed, with state media reporting Tuesday the country has probably overtaken India as the world's largest consumer of the precious metal.
Last year, China consumed 1,176.4 tonnes of the yellow metal, the China Gold Association said in a statement.
The surge in demand was partly led by frenzied purchases by "middle-aged" "bargain-hunting" Chinese women who bucked the international market trend of falling prices to get cheap deals, the official Xinhua news agency said Tuesday.
In the first three quarters of 2013, China's demand for gold totalled 779.6 tonnes, compared with India's 714.7 tonnes, according to figures previously released by the World Gold Council.
The British-based WGC usually publishes its full-year Gold Demand Trends report in February.
Demand for jewellery and bullion made up the lion's share of China's consumption last year, rising 42.52 percent and 56.57 percent respectively to 716.5 tonnes and 375.7 tonnes, the CGA figures showed.
Analysts expect sales of gold bars and jewellery to keep rising in the next three to five years on the back of increasing Chinese incomes, Xinhua said.
But overall gold consumption may slow this year due to a weak market outlook, it added.
In 2012, consumption rose only around 10 percent, the report said.

GE Energy (Atlanta, Ga., U.S.A.), a division of General Electric, announced that it will be supplying smart meter infrastructure for 25,000 meters that are to be installed in Ecuador by electric company Electrica de Guayaquil (Guayaquil, Ecuador). This is the second phase of a complete overhaul of the country's meters, which will eventually replace nearly 200,000 meters, according to GE energy.
As part of an overall grid modernization strategy, GE's meter infrastructure will enable remote connect and disconnect of customers, the collection of usage information for efficiency planning and future enhancements such as demand response control and pre-payment, according to the company. GE will provide smart meters with advanced metering infrastructure and RF communications.
"Improving Ecuador's energy outlook is a very important factor in improving Ecuador's economic outlook," says Ing. Oscar Armijos Gonzalez-Rubio, general manager to Electrica de Guayaquil.
GE recently announced the GE Global Research Center project in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The $500 million center will generate smart grid solutions to the specific needs of each country in the region, according to the company. In addition, GE is working with AES Eletropaulo to collaborate on a smart grid research and development project—bringing smart meters to the city of Sao Paulo.
GE Energy also recently announced that it has more than $3 billion dollars in new customer agreements, including projects in Brazil, Egypt, Australia, China, Iraq, Indonesia, Italy and Canada.

In the cognitive radio system, spectrum sensing for detecting the presence of primary users in a licensed spectrum is a fundamental problem. Energy detection is the most popular spectrum sensing scheme used to differentiate the case where the primary user's signal is present from the case where there is only noise.

I have a lot of items I could sell, but I want to see what I can get for them. So if you're interested let me know, but I'm not sure if I'm selling them yet. Used 4G 20GB iPod Looking for $200 shipped. This is an 8 month old iPod that has been well used; it is in okay condition but would never be called new. It has my name and web site engraved on the back, but it is being sold with a leather Belkin case and blue iSkin (no belt clip). It has two chips/scratches on each left corner (cannot get a picture of them; the white glares and refuses to focus). Unnoticeable in the iSkin. The back has the usual scratches, nothing deep (still shiny and mirror-like). The front is in pretty good condition; the screen has some scratches, but I don't notice them unless I hold it to the light. The device works perfectly and is sold with its original box, cables, CD, etc. Earbuds are opened. Mint 2G iPod mini (6GB) Looking for $250 shipped. I thought I would use this more than I do, but it seems kind of pointless now that I have it (I thought I would use the extra battery life, as I tend to go on long trips). Turns out I don't. It's in mint condition and will be sold with its original box, USB cable, earbuds, etc. Everything is sealed and unused except for the iPod itself and the installation CD. I have an extra firewire cable and AC adaptor available that I may sell with it. Dell Axim x50v Looking for $500. Excellent condition. Four months old, works perfectly. Has a screen protector (I will sell it with it- Boxwave crystal); the protector is dirty as I have never gotten it on right (though it has protected the screen). You can fool around with it. Sold with Rhinoskin Hardcase, all original cables, box, etc. Love it, need money.

The Kid's Doctor: Is it time to have 'the talk' with your tween?
Although puberty starts anywhere from age 9 to 16, every teen will eventually experience the hormonal changes and subsequent body changes. That being said, the subject of puberty is still "awkward" for some parents and most of the time it's a subject children are seldom interested in discussing, either.
However, a discussion of puberty is not only necessary for both parent and child, it's also one of the most important talks a parent will have with their child. So many of my patients, around 9 to 11 years old, tell me they don't want to talk about growing up or body changes. In a few cases, their bodies are already changing and it must be confusing if they haven't even talked about puberty. I know they hear things from their friends, and many schools have puberty "talks" around fifth or even sixth grade, but that's often too late.
The biggest concern I have is misinformation. If a parent doesn't initiate a basic "birds and bees" discussion, their child may hear all sorts of crazy things about sex. With all of the Internet availability, as well, I worry that a child might search on his/her own and go to websites with "too much information" for a first discussion about puberty.
The facts of life and the male and female anatomy have not changed! I think it's every parent's responsibility to find an appropriate time to sit down with their child and discuss puberty. (I jokingly tell my young patients that when a child is born, the parents receive a contract stating: WE HAVE TO HAVE THE TALK.) This is often primarily an anatomy lesson with some details thrown in on the biology of the human body.
If a child has never asked about the difference between males and females – most already have by this point – that's a good place to start. Many times, questions will arise that lead to further discussion on such topics as sexuality.
Every parent knows their own child and may approach the "facts of life" discussion in their own way. There are lots of good books to help facilitate the discussion and serve as resources for kids. I remember my own mother pulling out a World Book encyclopedia with color transparencies of the human body. I also remember being horrified!
Puberty should not be mysterious. Every child needs to be comfortable with their changing body (and mind), and parents are key to helping them learn.
Lastly, it usually takes more than one discussion to cover all the pertinent topics, and different topics are more appropriate to discuss at different ages. Don't stop the conversation. Make sure you let your children know that nothing is off limits, and if they have questions or concerns, they should ask.

State legislator's Christmas Day dinner tradition still going in Uniontown
Moved by the words that he heard during a sermon given prior to the holidays in 2010, state Rep. Timothy Mahoney decided there was no better way to teach the message of the importance of giving then leading by example.
It was that year that the representative decided to begin what would turn into a holiday tradition — offering a cost-free meal on Christmas Day.
"This is our way of giving back to the community, and we are now serving upward of 250 people," Mahoney said. "No one should ever be alone at Christmas, and we cordially open our doors to anyone who wants to come spend Christmas dinner with us. Everyone is welcome, not just constituents of the 51st Legislative District."
The meal will be served by Mahoney, his family, staff and volunteers from the community who have reached out to his office with offers of help with the big dinner that has steadily grown in participation over the years.
"The participation has been so overwhelming," said Jennifer Jeffries, Mahoney's district office chief of staff. "When Rep. Mahoney started this dinner four years ago we only served around 60 people. We are now up to about 250 people. Not only are we serving about 300 people Christmas Day dinner but we have an amazing turnout of volunteers. We have had about 70 people call the office to volunteer their time for this event and it is truly heartwarming that they would take time from their own family on Christmas Day and spend time with people who would otherwise be eating alone."
There are no income guidelines or criteria to be met, just the simple desire to share a holiday meal with others in a festive setting that brings the true meaning of the Christmas holiday to all.
"It's a traditional dinner with turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and vegetables that is prepared by Hartsek's Catering in Uniontown," Jeffries said. "This year we will be preparing for 300."
Jeffries said families and individuals from all walks of life participate.
"The majority of individuals we serve are the elderly widows and widowers, followed by larger families," Jeffries said. "We have seen the same people with few new faces each year."
The meal is totally free to the taxpayers of the area, with the representative and his family covering the entire cost of everything.
"The feedback that we get is for the most part the individuals and families being so thankful because otherwise they would have ate alone or not even at all," Jeffries said. "The volunteers are most thankful to Rep. Mahoney for hosting this event and giving them an opportunity to give back by helping to serve the dinner to the community and that's what it's all about."
The dinner will be served from noon to 2 p.m. Christmas Day at the Cabaret, 62 W. Peter St. in Uniontown.

DEMA's Operations Center in Smyrna is a 28,000-square-foot high-tech communications facility. The Center is built to withstand 120-mph winds, lightning, and a moderate earthquake, not to mention its redundant systems that allow for continuous operations for an extended period of time.
Inside the Center, a large amphitheatre, complete with computer workstations, allows individuals and agencies to monitor and assess emergency situations. Another area of the facility, called the Technical Assessment Center, is activated in an emergency to bring together key scientific personnel - some from outside DEMA - to assess the effects of the hazard on life, health and the environment.
As an example, if a hurricane threatens, DEMA calls on University of Delaware meteorologists, including State Climatologist Dr. Dan Leathers, to provide detailed forecasts and to interpret the incoming weather data. These meteorologists then work with specialists from other agencies, such as DNREC, to assess flooding potential and make decisions about evacuations. Tomorrow a look at emergency preparedness.

Your Confidence
If your race—be it a triathlon or a swim event—is in the open water, nothing can mimic the feel of the event much like getting out and swimming in the open water. An open-water swim is truly a different beast than a pool of any length.
Short of that, though, doubling the distance between the walls will serve as a confidence boost before you head out to your wall-less event. If you develop comfort swimming in a 50-meter pool compared to a 25-yard pool, you'll be another step closer to being comfortable when you dive into the open water.
More: 8 Tips for Open Water Swimming Newbies
The Case for 25-Yard Pools
Short pools aren't all bad, though. Though Kostich doesn't personally swim in 25-yard pools, he can see how they would benefit age-group triathletes.
"Short-course training is a very good way to get faster," Kostich said. "I think going to a short-course pool and focusing on quality-oriented workouts can be good for triathletes. It's not to develop endurance because (endurance athletes) already have that. It's to develop speed, which they don't."
If the 50-meter pool in your town is an extra 15-minute drive away, or costs more to get a pass or whatever may make it an inconvenience, mix up your training days. Go to the 50-meter pool once a week to throw a wrench in your routine.
Come race day, it could be the advantage you need to fly through your swim.

A Harlem man who police said was a suspect in the shooting of a 25-year-old woman in Rockaway Beach was killed during a shoot-out with a police officer in an Upper Manhattan subway station Tuesday afternoon, and a detective who was shot during the melee is in stable condition, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said.
When Detective Kevin Herlihy and fellow officers confronted the suspect, Michael McBride, 52, near 145th Street and St. Nicholas Avenue, McBride fled and then shot at police, hitting Herlihy in the left arm, Bloomberg said in a statement.
"Detective Herlihy exchanged fire, and the shooter was killed," the mayor said.
Herlihy is expected to make a full recovery, according to the mayor.
Bloomberg said Herlihy had been tracking McBride, and police said McBride was the subject of an intensive search by detectives from the Queens Warrant Violent Felony Squad, the 100th Precinct Detective Squad and the Technical Assistant Response Unit. It was not known which unit Herlihy was operating in during the hunt.
At some point McBride realized that he had been spotted, went into the subway station at 145th Street and crossed the mezzanine to another exit, before turning and firing between four and six shots at police, according to a statement from the Police Department.
When Herlihy fired back, McBride was shot in the chest and then ran up the subway station's stairs before collapsing, police said. McBride's .22-caliber six-shot revolver was recovered at the scene, with six-shell casings used, police said.
McBride, who had a long rap sheet for arrests and was on parole for robbery, lived in the neighborhood at 159 West 145th Street, authorities said.
The NYPD had released a request for the public's assistance Tuesday afternoon - about half hour before the shootout - to locate McBride for questioning about the shooting of a woman in the Rockaway Beach apartment of McBride's girlfriend.
Police said the victim, who Bloomberg said is believed to be the daughter of McBride's girlfriend, was shot once in the head around 12:30 p.m. Monday and McBride was seen arguing with her in the building - possibly the hallway - before the shooting. She remained in very critical condition at North Shore University Hospital Tuesday evening, police said.
"All of us here are incredibly grateful that Detective Herlihy is alive. And I'm happy to say that all indications are that he will be able to walk out of here probably tomorrow and go home to his family and his wife, Adrienne," Bloomberg said after visiting Herlihy at New York-Presbyterian Hospital Columbia University Medical Center Tuesday evening.

With just under 4-minutes to go in the 2nd quarter Sheridan's Nick Gill scampers down the sideline on a 68-yard punt return. His return set up an 8-yard pass play to Colbey Bruney who ran into the end zone to put the Broncs up 26 to 7 with just under 4-minutes to go in the half.

The moon sets over the Big Horn Mountains Thursday morning.
Summer doesn't end until 2:44 pm Sunday so you'd better catch those summer rays of sunshine while you can. Thursday afternoon at 6:00 pm overlooking Big Horn was one such opportunity as the fleeting rays of the summer sun poked down through the clouds hitting and missing the area below resulting in this interesting contrast of illumination and shadows.
9th grade Sheridan Broncs
teamwork, determination, and a blocked point after create an outcome vs Sage Valley with a win in OT 34-33.
Go Broncs!!
good luck this weekend against Cheyenne East.
Apparently something was pretty funny, as this horse got a good laugh in while I was trying to snap a picture.

It was half-way through the season before the Lady Bronc Swimmers & Divers showed off their talents to the home crowd. The Sheridan girls finished first in 11 of the 12 events en-route to sinking Buffalo 128 to 56 Tuesday afternoon.
Big Horn's Hanneah Puckett, known more for her hard hitting over the net, also can go low in controlling the ball from the back row. After seeing home court action on Thursday and Friday the Lady Rams were back for more on Saturday afternoon where they were hosting the Big Horn VB Invite.
Sheridan Lady Bronc Junior Jennae Fieldgrove pounds the ball past Cheyenne South's defender, Dani Noble, to beat the Lady Bison in game 4 - 25 to 21 Friday evening. After dropping the first game 25 - 20 the Lady Broncs came back an took the second 27 to 25 and 25 to 21 in the 3rd where Jennae also scored the final point.
If you're unable to catch your local high school football team in action this week-end you can still get into the "Hometown Spirit" by walking or driving by either or both the two First Federal Savings Bank locations (46 W. Brundage & 1695 Coffeen Ave.) and enjoy the football "clings" they have hung in the windows.

The real Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix begins:
"The hottest day of the summer so far was drawing to a close and a drowsy silence lay over the large, square houses of Privet Drive ... The only person left outside was a teenage boy who was lying flat on his back in a flowerbed outside No.4."
However, chapter one of the latest internet version doing the rounds in Australia opens:
"Come on, hurry up," scolded Mrs Dursley, "They'll be here soon and I don't want you around when they arrive." Harry stared down at his plate. Why did Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon always make him hide when people came to the house? Didn't he promise no magic of any kind, not even to mention the word?"
Rowling's lawyer in London, Neil Blair, said that monitoring the fakes had become a time-consuming occupation.
"There are quite a few fakes out there," he said.
"It's a growing problem because the internet is becoming more and more prevalent. We monitor it very closely.
"Sometimes they have JK's name on it which is potentially very damaging. I find that quite annoying, we've got to take action.
"Sometimes they're pornographic which is even more annoying because a lot of the fans are kids."
Blair said once a fake is spotted, he sends a cease and desist letter to the Internet Service Provider on which it appeared.
In 99 per cent of cases, the ISP will remove it from the net and inform the rogue writer they have infringed their regulations, although legal action has been taken against several persistent infringers.
Last year, an anonymous Chinese author ran out of patience waiting for Rowling to finish her fifth instalment and released the fake Harry Potter and Leopard Walk Up to Dragon under the Englishwoman's name, selling over a million copies in Beijing street markets.
The fifth volume in Rowling's series is the longest at 38 chapters and 255,000 words, more than a third longer than the fourth book Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
The others have all gone to No.1 and have sold 200 million copies worldwide.

gearboxes - Search Results
Articles About gearboxes
(SPONSORED CONTENT)Gear Measurement...EXACTLY
Gear Measurement Matters - As market pressures increasingly require gearboxes to become smaller, quieter and more precise, designers and manufacturers face numerous challenges. This white paper is a general guide of what to consider when selecting an analytical gear measurement system. Article Courtesy of Mahr Federal Inc.
Articles are sorted by RELEVANCE. Sort by Date.
1 Comparison of Test Rig and Field Measurement Results on Gearboxes for Wind Turbines (October 2011)
This article describes some of the most important tests for prototypes conducted at Winergy AG during the product development process. It will demonstrate that the measurement results on the test rig for load distribution are in accordance with the turbine measurements.
2 Micropitting of Big Gearboxes: Influence of Flank Modification and Surface Roughness (May 2011)
Most research on micropitting is done on small-sized gears. This article examines whether those results are also applicable to larger gears.
3 New Guidelines For Wind Turbine Gearboxes (May/June 1998)
The wind turbine industry has been plagued with gearbox failures, which cause repair costs, legal expenses, lost energy production and environmental pollution.
4 Understanding Oil Analysis: How it Can Improve Reliability of Wind Turbine Gearboxes (November/December 2013)
Historically, wind turbine gearbox failures have plagued the industry. Yet an effective oil analysis program will increase the reliability and availability of your machinery, while minimizing maintenance costs associated with oil change-outs, labor, repairs and downtime. Practical action steps are presented here to improve reliability.
5 Wind Turbine Gearbox Reliability (June 2017)
A high number of wind turbine gearboxes do not meet their expected design life, despite meeting the design criteria of current bearing, gear and wind turbine industry standards and certifications.
6 Worm Gear Efficiency Estimation and Optimization (June 2016)
This paper outlines the comparison of efficiencies for worm gearboxes with a center distance ranging from 28 150 mm that have single reduction from 5 to 100:1. Efficiencies are calculated using several standards (AGMA, ISO, DIN, BS) or by methods defined in other bibliographic references. It also deals with the measurement of torque and temperature on a test rig required for the calibration of an analytical model to predict worm gearbox efficiency and temperature. And finally, there are examples of experimental activity (wear and friction measurements on a blockon- ring tribometer and the measurements of dynamic viscosity) regarding the effort of improving the efficiency for worm gear drivers by adding nanoparticles of fullerene shape to standard PEG lubricant
7 Wind Turbines: Clean Energy, but Energy Efficient (June/July 2011)
We talked energy efficiency with some major players in the lubricants industry but with a focus on their products impact regarding energy efficiency of gears and gearboxes in wind turbines.
8 Parallel Axis Gear Grinding: Theory & Application (November/December 2000)
The goal of gear drive design is to transit power and motion with constant angular velocity. Current trends in gear drive design require greater load carrying capacity and increased service life in smaller, quieter, more efficient gearboxes. Generally, these goals are met by specifying more accurate gears. This, combined with the availability of user-friendly CNC gear grinding equipment, has increased the use of ground gears.
9 Wind Turbine Pitch and Yaw Drive Manufacturers Draw Breath as Market Slows (January/February 2010)
The global wind energy market has seen average growth rates of 28 percent over the last 10 years, according to the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC), creating major challenges for the component supply industry. GWEC also forecasts an average growth rate of 22 percent for the next five years, which if realized, will continue to put pressure on suppliers of turbine components.
10 Thermal Behavior of a High-Speed Gear Unit (January/February 2016)
In this paper a thermal network model is developed to simulate the thermal behavior of a high-speed, one-stage gear unit which is jet-lubricated.
11 Optimism in Wind Abounds (January/February 2009)
Big gears and wind turbines go together like bees and honey, peas and carrots, bread and butter andwell, you get the idea. Wind isnt just big right now, its huge. The wind industry means tremendous things for the energy dependent world we live in and especially big things for gear manufacturers and other beleaguered American industries.
12 Wind Standard Closer to Completion (March/April 2011)
Faithful Gear Technology readers may recall that our July 2009 issue contained an update of the deliberations provided by Bill Bradley. Now, almost two years later, there is an ISO/IEC wind turbine gearbox standard out for draft international standard ballot (ballot closes 2011-05-17).
13 Innovative Concepts for Grinding Wind Power Energy Gears (June 2009)
This article shows the newest developments to reduce overall cycle time in grinding wind power gears, including the use of both profile grinding and threaded wheel grinding.
14 An International Wind Turbine Gearbox Standard (July 2009)
Industrial gear standards have been used to support reliability through the specification of requirements for design, manufacturing and verification. The consensus development of an international wind turbine gearbox standard is an example where gear products can be used in reliable mechanical systems today. This has been achieved through progressive changes in gear technology, gear design methods and the continual development and refinement of gearbox standards.
15 Flank Breakage on Gears for Energy Systems (November/December 2011)
Gear flank breakage can be observed on edge zone-hardened gears. It occurs, for example, on bevel gears for water turbines, on spur gears for wind energy converters and on single- and double-helical gears for other industrial applications.
16 Tapping into the Wind Gearbox Supply Chain (January/February 2010)
Although typically considered a late bloomer in the call to wind energy arms, the United States is now the number one wind power producer in the world with over 25,000 MW installed by the end of 2008, according to the Global Wind Energy Council in January 2009.
17 It's No American Dream: Pratt & Whitney GTF Engine Now a Reality... (November/December 2011)
In the August 2008 issue of Gear Technology, we ran a story (Gearbox Speed Reducer Helps Fan Technology for Greener Jet Fuel Efficiency) on the then ongoing, extremely challenging and protracted development of Pratt & Whitneys geared turbofan (GTF) jet engine.
18 Developing a Total Productive Maintenance System (May/June 1995)
There's a reason they call it catastrophic gear failure: For example, if the line goes down at a large aluminum rolling mill because a gear set goes bad, the cost can run up to a whopping $200,000 a week. Even in smaller operations, the numbers alone (not to mention all the other problems) can be a plant manager's worst nightmare.
19 Full-Load Testing of Large Gearboxes Using Closed-Loop Power Circulation (September/October 1991)
This method of testing large gearboxes or, indeed, any power transmission element, had numerous advantages and offers the possibility of large savings in time, energy, and plant, if the overall situation is conducive to its use. This usually requires that several such units need to be tested, and that they can be conveniently connected to each to each other in such a way as to form a closed-loop drive train. No power sink is required, and the drive input system has only to make up power losses. The level of circulating power is controlled by the torque, which is applied statically during rotation, and the drive speed. Principles, advantage, and limitations are described, together with recent experiences in the only known large-scale usage of this technique in Australia.
20 Philly Gear: A Long Life, A New Direction (January/February 2004)
Large marine gearboxes. More than a year in production, each weighing 125,000 pounds, the gearboxes were for U.S. Navy amphibious ships, for combining the power of 10,000 hp diesel engines to drive propeller shafts. They were also the last major gear products shipped from Philadelphia Gear Corp.s King of Prussia factory.
21 Micropitting of Large Gearboxes: Influence of Geometry and Operating Conditions (September/October 2014)
The focus of the following presentation is two-fold: 1) on tests of new geometric variants; and 2) on to-date, non-investigated operating (environmental) conditions. By variation of non-investigated eometric parameters and operation conditions the understanding of micropitting formation is improved. Thereby it is essential to ensure existent calculation methods and match them to results of the comparison between large gearbox tests and standard gearbox test runs to allow a safe forecast of wear due to micropitting in the future.
22 Our Experts Discuss Electronic Gearboxes, Plus Backlash and What to Do about it (September/October 1994)
Question: In the January/February issue of your magazine, we came across the term "electronic gearbox." We have seen this term used elsewhere as well. We understand that this EGB eliminates the change gear in the transmission line, but not how exactly this is done. Could you explain in more detail?
23 Romax Technology Launches Gearbox and Driveline Design Software Package (November/December 2012)
Romax Technology, the gearbox, bearing and driveline engineering specialist, has launched a new design software package that will increase speed, quality, creativity and innovation when designing gearboxes and drivelines. Called Concept, the new product delivers on the Romax vision of streamlining the end-to-end, planning-to-manufacture process with open, easy to use software solutions. It has been developed in close collaboration with engineers in the largest ground vehicle, wind energy and industrial equipment companies around the globe.
24 The XL Gears Project (January/February 2014)
Much of the existing guidelines for making large, high-performance gears for wind turbine gearboxes exhibit a need for improvement. Consider: the large grinding stock used to compensate for heat treatment distortion can significantly reduce manufacturing productivity; and, materials and manufacturing processes are two other promising avenues to improvement. The work presented here investigates quenchable alloy steels that, combined with specifically developed Case-hardening and heat treatment processes, exhibits reduced distortion and, in turn, requires a smaller grinding stock.
25 Cutting Hardened Gears (November/December 2002)
The need for improved power transmissions that use gears and gearboxes with smaller overall dimensions and with lower noise generation has left manufacturing engineers searching for different methods of gear processing. This search has led to the requirement of hardened gears.
26 Gear Oil Classification and Selection (May/June 1995)
Today gear drive operations have several options when selecting the proper lubricant for their gearboxes. As in the past, the primary lubricant used for gearbox lubrication is mineral oil. But with the advances in technology, synthetic hydrocarbons (PAOs) and polyglycols show very specific advantages in certain applications. With gear drives becoming more and more precise, it is now also to the benefit of the gear operator to verify that he or she has the proper additive package and viscosity in the lubricant selected. Fig. 1 shoes that a gear oil is a combination of a base oil and specific additives. The base oils can be either mineral oil, a synthetic or even in some cases a combination of the two.
27 Winds of Change (January/February 2008)
It seems that nothing can hold back the power of the wind—unless, of course, it's the availability of rugged, reliable, specially designed gearboxes. How Gleason is Keeping up with Demand.
28 Producing Profile and Lead Modifications in Threaded Wheel and Profile Grinding (January/February 2010)
Modern gearboxes are characterized by high torque load demands, low running noise and compact design. In order to fulfill these demands, profile and lead modifications are being applied more often than in the past. This paper will focus on how to produce profile and lead modifications by using the two most common grinding processesthreaded wheel and profile grinding. In addition, more difficult modificationssuch as defined flank twist or topological flank correctionswill also be described in this paper.
