YORK-BASED Grand Central Rail is the most trusted long-distance rail company in the UK, according to a national survey of passengers.
The company, which runs direct direct train services from York to London, said the research investigated passengers' trust in train operators' day-to-day service delivery, engagement, integrity and reputation.
The research, Passengers' Relationship With The Rail Industry, revealed that Grand Central Rail topped passengers' perceptions of trust in service, covering punctuality, reliability, value for money and helpful staff. as well as trust in relationship – being truthful and acting with honesty and integrity.
The company also scored highly in the trust in judgement category, which demonstrates passengers' perceptions of a rail operators' high principles and doing the right thing.
A spokeswoman said: "Grand Central received positive results in all three categories and was the only rail operator to receive a positive Net Promotor Score – which means passengers are very likely to recommend Grand Central Rail services to a friend."
Grand Central recently announced an extension to its licensing agreement, allowing it to continue operating trains to and from London until 2026.
Community champions
TWO unsung heroes from York have been selected as winners of Grand Central's 'Heart of the Community' awards.
Anna Bialkowsks and Nigel Poulton from York were crowned 'community champions' by Grand Central for their generous contribution to the local community.
A spokeswoman for the company, which runs direct trains from York to London, said Anna, from Tang Hall, was nominated by a member of City of York Council for her commitment to organising events and community initiatives.
She said: "The judges were particularly impressed that, after joining the local community only two years ago, Anna has become a key figure in the area, offering support to individuals as well as local projects while encouraging others to follow in her steps."
Nigel Poulton was nominated by a colleague at The Island charity for his commitment to supporting young people in the community, mentoring families, building long- lasting relationships and helping their individual needs.

By default M0n0 wont allow private networks on the WAN interface i.e.
192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x as you are using 192.168.0.35 on your WAN interface
this will block the SNTP traffic. On the WAN configuration page on M0n0
un-check the box "Block private networks" it's at the bottom of the page.
You will then need to put in an inbound firewall rule to allow SMTP from the
WAN to the DMZ interface.
Hope that helps..

Health claims may contribute to better informed and healthier food choices and to improved industrial competitiveness by marketing foods that support healthier lifestyles in line with consumer preferences. With the more stringent European Union regulation of nutrition and health claims, insights into consumers' health-related goal patterns and their reactions towards such claims are needed to influence the content of lawful claims. This study investigated how consumers' explicit and implicit health-related motive orientations (HRMOs) together with the type of calcium-claim (nutrition claim, health claim and reduction of disease risk claim) influence perceived credibility and purchasing intention of calcium-enriched fruit juice. Data were collected in April 2006 through a consumer survey with 341 Belgian adults. The findings indicate that stronger implicit HRMOs (
Although not legally defined by the European Union (EU), functional foods are generally considered as foods in a regular diet that offer a particular health benefit beyond their regular nutritional value [
According to the Regulation (EC) 1924/2006 on nutrition and health claims made on foods (the Regulation) that came into force in July 2007, two types of claims may be used on food products: nutrition claims and health claims [
Effective use of nutrition information, including food claims, is a question of not only liking and understanding, but also motivation [
Given that health is an important motivator of consumers' food choice behavior [
The objective of the present study was to investigate how consumers' explicit and implicit HRMOs together with the type of calcium-claim (nutrition claim, health claim and reduction of disease risk claim) would influence their reactions towards calcium-enriched fruit juice. Consumers' reactions were assessed as perceived credibility and intention to buy the product, while accounting for differences in product familiarity, socio-demographic and attitudinal characteristics. Calcium-enriched fruit juice was chosen as the object of study owing to: (1) its high consumption frequency [
Data were collected in April 2006 through a cross-sectional quantitative survey with 341 Belgian consumers. Participants were volunteers who were recruited through random walk sampling [
The mean age of the participants was 37.4 years (SD = 14.3) and 56% were female. Compared to census data for Belgium [
Descriptive analyses were used to describe the dependent variables (perceived credibility, buying intention) by a combination of HRMOs and one other independent variable (claim type, gender, age group, product familiarity, general attitude towards functional foods). Results are presented as means (M) and standard deviations (SD). Differences were analyzed through one-way ANOVA F-tests with Bonferroni post-hoc estimation (in case of parametric data distributions) and Kruskal-Wallis tests (in case of non-parametric data distributions).
A linear mixed model was performed to simultaneously investigate the main and interaction effects of explicit and implicit HRMOs and claim type on the perceived credibility of calcium-claims on fruit juice (Model 1) and buying intentions of fruit juice with calcium-claims (Model 2), while accounting for differences in product familiarity, socio-demographic and attitudinal characteristics. Explicit and implicit HRMOs were specified as between-subjects factors, and claim type was included as within-subjects factor in the models.
Statistical analyses were performed using the statistical software program IBM SPSS 20.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA) [
The perceived credibility and buying intention of calcium-enriched fruit juice bearing a reduction of disease risk calcium-claim, were the lowest among participants with low explicit and low to medium implicit calcium-related HRMOs compared to the other combinations of claim type and intensity of HRMO (
Differences in perceived credibility of calcium-claims were found according to participants' implicit HRMOs and their gender, though not by explicit HRMOs (
There is no clear relation between participants' explicit and implicit HRMOs by age and the perceived credibility and purchasing intention of calcium-enriched fruit juice with claims (
Participants, who were more familiar with the calcium-enriched fruit juice, perceived the calcium-claims as more credible (
No clear association was found between participants' HRMOs by their attitude towards functional foods and the perceived credibility and purchasing intention of calcium-enriched fruit juice with claims (

With the more stringent Regulation, aiming at a better understanding of health claims by the average consumer, there is a need for more insights into consumers' understanding of and reactions to the claimed health benefits and their relevance. While there is a growing body of literature on consumers' perception of food claims, to the authors' knowledge, only two studies examined motivational factors underpinning consumers' reactions to claims [
A distinction was made between explicit and implicit HRMOs to obtain a more complete understanding of the motivational underpinnings of the health-related behavior [
Overall, the claim type was found to be a more important determinant of consumers' perceived credibility than their health-related motive orientation. Many studies have shown differences in claim perceptions depending on the combinations of carrier product, functional ingredient and type of claim [
Practical implications from this study mainly pertain to the formulation and communication of health claims, given that the explicit HRMOs more or less refer to the currently claimed health benefits. According to our findings for the specific case of calcium-enriched fruit juice, health claim formulations and communications that refer to the implicit values of calcium for personal health are expected to be more effective, especially among younger consumers, who are already familiar with the product and have more favorable attitudes towards functional foods. Since health claims can only improve food choices if consumers both understand the health benefit and find it relevant for their personal health, future research is needed on whether consumers understand the content of the claims and whether this understanding is associated with its perceived relevance.
Some limitations should be acknowledged when interpreting our findings. A first limitation pertains to the choice for the specific product-ingredient-claim combination. A comparison between different products varying in perceived healthiness and degree of familiarity would be interesting, since diverse products may elicit different responses to nutrition [
Second, the specificity of the study sample does not allow generalization to specific defined populations. Future studies are recommended to investigate whether the findings of this study hold equally among particular consumer segments, e.g., people with a specific interest in the product, because of health reasons or consumers who have a family history of food-related lifestyle or other diseases, such as cardiovascular disease [
Third, the present study, just like most consumer research, depended on self-reported data. Although studies using self-reported behavior provide valuable insights, they likely suffer from so-called social desirability bias and, hence, may deviate from actual behavior [
This study showed the relative importance of implicit compared to explicit motive orientations in explaining consumers' reactions to a calcium-enriched food with claim. The implicit meaning and relevance attached to health benefits from calcium emerged as more predictive for consumers' appeal of claims on calcium-enriched fruit juice than the explicit meaning and value of calcium for health. More important than consumers' HRMOs is the effect of claim type on the perceived credibility and purchasing intention of the product, where health claims were most favored. Based on the presented findings, health claim communications that refer to the implicit values of calcium for personal health are expected to be more effective, especially among younger consumers, who are more familiar with the product and have more favorable attitudes towards functional foods. Since health claims may only improve food choices if consumers understand the relevance of the health benefits and the claimed health effects, it is recommended to further investigate the motivational factors in combination with consumers' understanding of the claims.

Atlantic Coast District, International Longshoremen's Association Endorses Jon Corzine for Re-election as Governor of New Jersey
Aug 18, 2009, 15:50 ET from International Longshoremen's Association, AFL-CIO
NORTH BERGEN, N.J., Aug. 18 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Atlantic Coast District of the International Longshoremen's Association, AFL-CIO today announced their endorsement of New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine for re-election, according to an announcement by its president Stephen Knott. The ILA's largest locals and highest concentration of members are located in the Garden State and ACD President Knott said his ILA District and its thousands of members will do all it can to return Governor Corzine to the State House in Trenton.
"Working families in New Jersey have a true and trusted friend in Governor Corzine," said President Knott. "That trust also extends to Loretta Weinberg, whom the governor wisely chose as his running mate for New Jersey Lieutenant Governor."
The ILA's Atlantic Coast District comprises all port areas on the North Atlantic Coast, including New Jersey, in addition to U.S. and Canadian ports on the Great Lakes and Puerto Rico. Stephen Knott, the ACD president, and Dennis Daggett, the District Secretary-Treasurer are both residents of New Jersey and within the past year, the ACD moved its headquarters from Lower Manhattan to North Bergen, New Jersey.
"The heartbeat of our ACD can be found in New Jersey," said President Knott. "So we naturally have a vested interest in who leads our Garden States and will make decisions affecting the Ports of Newark, Elizabeth, Hoboken, Bayonne and Camden."
President Knott noted that Governor Corzine recognizes the powerful economic impact New Jersey working waterfront ports have for the state. He also recognized how much New Jersey benefits from Governor Corzine's close relationship with President Barack Obama.
"At an organized labor rally in Holmdel in July, President Obama praised Gov. Corzine for his strong leadership during these incredibly difficult times and recognized him for his unwavering support of New Jersey's working families," said Mr. Knott. "Over 17 thousand union members and their families turned out that day to show support for our President and Gov. Corzine."
ACD President Knott encourages all ILA members and their families in New Jersey to closely examine the records of the two candidates for New Jersey Governor. "Our Governor's opponent, Chris Christie would have rejected federal stimulus money used to create and maintain jobs, invest in infrastructure projects and provide unemployment assistance.
"I ask all ILA members and their families to visit a website created by the New Jersey State AFL-CIO, www.therealchrischristie.com, to better understand just how damaging Christie's election would be for the citizens of New Jersey," added Mr. Knott. "For the Atlantic Coast District, and all working families in New Jersey, Governor Jon Corzine is the clear choice."

The past hundred years were perhaps the worst in Kurdish history, including division among different states, campaigns of assimilation and even genocide. But the 21st century heralds new and better things. The Kurds have regained their voice, identity and visibility in the world. Furthermore, the upheavals in the Arab world catapulted them into an important player in the region capable of reshaping its geo-strategic map. If we add to this that in the 21st century the sacred cows of nation-states have lost some of their sacredness, then the Kurds have some hope for optimism and a better future.

Candy cane plugs- Polymer clay by ThekawaiiodWatch
©2012-2017 Thekawaiiod
So I was making candy canes the other day, and this idea crossed my mind
They are polymer clay I can makes these into real plugs as well
Purchase here [link]
They are polymer clay I can makes these into real plugs as well
Purchase here [link]
Are they attached with magnets or is it straight through a larger piercing? I make candy cane earrings too, but this is a cool diff way to wear them!
these are made with a flat back post earring then baked into the clay
so the post jus slips into the hole in the other piece? i figured this would fall off :-s
do you often wear post earrings? hehe they lock together
i get the post earrings thing i thought they all came with those butterfly clip things and wondered how u incorporated them into the candycane
well I just take a toothpick and make a hole where the butterfly end goes and bake it in like that maybe I will make a tutorial when I make my next pair
so you jus push the earpost into the fimo to secure it? that's brave! I'm always unsure about things like that. Using the right glue etc.
I only bake in the butterfly part, then I use super glue to attach the flat back to the other end. I think it just takes practice I have made about 20 pairs of fake gauges

The FA Cup final will be at Wembley on 19 May, a week before the play-offs.
But League bosses have until the end of February to commit to Cardiff, and Wembley will not have received its health and safety certificates by then.
"The FA has been unable to give the sort or assurances the League needs," a League insider told the BBC.
"The League was very keen to hold the Johnstone's Paint Trophy in April as a warm-up event but the FA wanted to stage its own warm-up events to be sure of the Cup final and the League had to move it to Cardiff.
"And now it looks very likely the same will happen to the play-offs."
In addition to the Johnstone's Paint Trophy, Cardiff will also stage the League Cup Final in February.
Neither the FA nor the Football League would comment on the issue.
Internal FA documents listing the events for the new Wembley still show the League play-off being staged there.
The document lists various events, including the public open day on March 3, shown either in italics or in bold.
Both the Cup final and the play-offs are shown in bold, suggesting that in the FA's eyes they are a certainty.
But while the FA has control over the Cup final, the play-offs are a League matter.

TAMPA — The last thing Wharton needed for its fifth game in nine days was the high-octane tempo of undefeated St. Petersburg.
But tight defense, gritty work on the boards and a decisive fourth-quarter stretch represented the restrictor plates that conserved the Wildcats' collective mileage Tuesday at the Berkeley Basketball Invitational.
Wharton (8-1) scored the fourth quarter's first 13 points to break open a one-possession game and hold on for a 52-46 triumph in the opening semifinal. Point guard C.J. McGill scored seven in a row during the run and finished with a game-high 15.
"He did a really good job in that stretch," Wharton coach Tommy Tonelli said. "They all did really, just moving the ball and playing good defense, rebounding."
The Wildcats, already missing 6-foot-6 sophomore Chase Litton (ankle) in the low post, face Vero Beach (6-2) in tonight's 7:30 final. Junior Sir Patrick Reynolds promises they won't be out of gas. Out of position? That's another matter.
The loss of Litton, injured in a weekend pickup game, forced Reynolds to move from the two-guard to power forward, where he scored nine points Tuesday including the final basket in the fourth-quarter spurt.
Before that, the Green Devils (8-1), who had been whistled for eight fouls before Wharton got its first, cut their deficit to 31-30 on Demontrae Adams' 3-pointer from the top of the key with 2:27 to go in the third. Patrik Hauri answered for Wharton, slashing the lane for a layup.
St. Petersburg didn't score again until 4:19 remained in the game, and didn't get its first field goal of the fourth until the 1:53 mark.
Consecutive treys by Andrew Graus in the last minute served to narrow the final margin.
"(Reynolds) is affected the most in terms of the position change, but they've all got to play more minutes, they've all got to play some spots they're not used to," Tonelli said. "But I give them credit for really gutting it out in a really helter-skelter (game)."
In the nightcap, Vero Beach led Berkeley Prep by two at halftime before surging in the second half for a 59-43 victory. Bucs sophomore Justin Gray scored 12 of his team-high 17 in the first half, giving him 33 points in two tournament contests.

Vanessa Hudgens & Ashley Tisdale Look Relaxed After Mexican Vacation (PHOTOS)
Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale arrived back in Los Angeles Tuesday after a bikini filled weekend in Mexico. The Disney stars look refreshed and relaxed here as they are all smiles landing at LAX.BFF's
Their tropical getaway must have suited V and A! Loving the bohemian south-of-the-boarder look both girls are rocking.
Hudgens also has a nice American distraction waiting for her at home: Hunger Games star Josh Hutcherson.
The twosome have been attached at the hip after Vanessa's split with Zac Efron, catching Lakers Games and concerts together, and before VH's vacation she was seen holding hands with Josh at a bowling ally.
Best friend and hot guy…sounds like single Vanessa Hudgens is doing just fine.

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), ranking member on the Senate Finance Committee, has taken the lead role in negotiating the health care reform bill for the GOP. But earlier today during a radio interview with Iowa City's KCJJ, Grassley steered the conversation with a caller toward rationing health care services among the elderly, one of the right wing's favorite fearmongering tactics when it comes to health care reform. And as an example, Grassley cited Sen. Ted Kennedy's (D-MA) brain tumor. Grassley said that in countries with government-run health care, Kennedy "would not get the care he gets here because of his age."

India Retailers Gain After Single-Brand FDI Limit Removed
Jan. 11 (Bloomberg) --Pantaloon Retail India Ltd. (PF) climbed to its highest in four weeks, leading a surge in shares of Indian vendors after the government yesterday formally removed the limit on foreign investment in single-brand retail.
Pantaloon, India's largest retailer, gained 4.4 percent to 153.30 rupees, the highest since Dec. 13, in Mumbai. India's benchmark Sensitive Index (SENSEX) rose 0.1 percent.
India yesterday ratified a Nov. 24 decision to allow foreign companies full ownership of stores selling a single brand, from 51 percent earlier. The decision eases the entry of single-brand retailers such as Starbucks Corp. (SBUX) and Ikea into the nation's $400 billion retail market, allowing them to operate without a local partner. It also raised expectations that the government might loosen restrictions on foreign multi-brand retailers like Wal-Mart (WMT) Stores Inc., which are still excluded from India's retail market.
"People think that this would lead to a positive stance on multi-brand retail soon," Sameer Narang, a Mumbai-based analyst with HDFC Securities Ltd., said by telephone. "My opinion is that it's not coming any time soon, given the way things went the last time the government tried to introduce it."
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has pledged to open India to overseas companies after reversing a decision last month to let multi-brand retailers such as Wal-Mart and Carrefour SA open supermarkets in India's retail market. Singh's administration has struggled to advance its initiatives amid opposition from its own allies and a corruption scandal that paralyzed parliament.
Provogue India Ltd. (PROV), an apparel retailer, rose 8.4 percent. Shopper's Stop Ltd. (SHOP) gained 5.1 percent, and Trent Ltd. (TRENT), which has a franchise agreement with Tesco Plc, climbed 1.9 percent.
"We hope the initiative is a precursor to further liberalization in the sector in the days to come," Rajan Bharti Mittal, managing director at Bharti Enterprises, Wal-Mart's India partner for wholesale stores, said in an e-mailed statement.

As his body weakens to keep up with 'young man's gig', the 65-year-old funnyman states he will never return to stand-up comedy.
Funnyman Steve Martin is adamant he will never return to stand-up comedy, because he no longer has the stamina to keep up with the "young man's gig". The 65-year-old "Father of the Bride" star began his career on the live comedy circuit in the 1970s and went on to land guest spots on top U.S. shows "Saturday Night Live" and "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" starring Johnny Carson.
But he decided to turn his back on the industry after making a name for himself in Hollywood, and Martin insists he has no desire to stage a comeback because the life of a stand-up comic is too lonely.
Appearing on U.S. talk show "The View" on Thursday, March 17, he said, "I'm done with that. That's a young man's gig, it's very trying. I was in my 30s and I did it for about seven years before that and it's a very lonely life because you're alone on stage... [and] you're essentially alone all the time."
Martin has since broadened his talents and established himself as an author, movie star and banjo-playing bluegrass musician.

For the second straight game, the Grizzlies lost to the Condors in a shootout, 4-3.
The Grizzlies took the lead in the second period with goals from Tommy Maxwell and Nick Tuzzolino.
But Bakersfield's two goals in the third one of which came on a power play forced Utah's Berkley Scott to make the game-tying score, assisted by Tuzzolino.
The Grizzlies were outshot 14-5 in the third period, and goalkeeper Ben Meisner stopped three goals in overtime but allowed the Condors' game-winner in the shootout.

Date: Fri, 19 Mar 1999 13:51:52 +0000
Hi Elaine,
The DUKE OF SUTHERLAND was a 3,013 gross ton iron built steamer, built for
the Ducal Line by Duncan, Port Glasgow in 1873. She had a speed of 11 knots.
On 10th Dec.1883 she commenced a single round voyage from London via Suez to
Melbourne and Sydney under charter to the Colonial Line. Chartered by
British India Line in 1884 she started sailings between London, Suez,
Batavia and Brisbane on 11th Aug.1884. She continued this service until
making her last sailing on 25th Jul.1902. In 1904 she was sold to W.& A.
McArthur and renamed MACQUARIE and in 1906 was resold to US owners and
renamed HANAMET. She was scrapped at Danzig (Gdansk) in 1925. [North Star to
Southern Cross by John M.Maber]
Hope this helps

Fishing and Guide Services
Brain Sloss - Chris Gates - Jeff Trigg - John Ikonomouo
|Fishing the Eleven Point River is an experience we believe
provides the challenges and variety that excite anglers and will bring
them back for more. Species that fishermen might find in a days fishing
are rainbow trout, smallmouth bass, pickerel, goggle eye, or walleye. Most
notably, the Eleven Point River holds one of the few Blue Ribbon Trout
Areas in Missouri. This means the angler can challenge himself or herself
in a way that you simply can't at a trout park or other fisheries where
trout are introduced straight from the hatchery. Though the blue ribbon
area on the Eleven Point is stocked annually, these fish do grow wary
quickly and become more challenging to catch.
In addition, there is a modest level of natural
reproduction providing a chance to catch a wild rainbow trout.
The Eleven Point Canoe Rental can help
make your fishing trip possible by renting the necessary water craft or
shuttling your vehicle if you have your own boat.
We also have a small fly and tackle shop for spin fishermen.
The best way we can help the average angler on the Eleven Point River is through our guide service. We welcome fly fishermen and spin fishermen alike to board our hand crafted wooden MacKenzie drift boat to float and fish the Blue Ribbon Trout Area for a catch and release only trip. We can also fish the section of river that is stocked with trout regularly by the Missouri Department of Conservation. All trips will include transportation, instruction, a stream side lunch, and good company. We will do our best to tailor our trips to the needs of every angler who books a day on the water with us.
Fishing Guide Rates 1
full day for 1 or 2 people $350, 1/2 day $250
Some of the fish caught here on the Eleven Point River
Regardless of whether you take a guided trip with us or intend to fish on your own, please feel free to stop by and get advice or give us a fishing report. We always love hearing from fishermen and exchanging stories.

Hand Wrap Pallets
The Hazards and Costs of Wrapping by Hand
It has long been recognised that securing a load to a pallet reduces the risk of the palletised load getting damaged in transit. It lessens the risk of returns. There are various ways of doing this. The most common is by using stretch-wrap film. The load is placed on the pallet, and then stretch-wrap film is wrapped around the load and the pallet, thus securing the load to the pallet. The film acts to keep the load stable in transit and can also gives added protection from the weather. The protective covering on the palletised load also reduces damage from other pallets whilst in transit. Pallet Wrapping with pallet wrap film prevents the load from slipping / moving whilst in transit or when it is being moved by a fork lift or pump truck. Wrapping with stretch-wrap film ensures that the palletised load arrives in perfect condition, safe & secure. The risk of theft or partial theft of the products in transit is also greatly reduced.
Hand Wrapping
Traditionally the wrapping of pallets, especially where volume is low, has been done by hand. An operative holds the two ends of a roll of stretch-wrap film, walks around the palletised load allowing the film roll to unwind whilst they walk around the pallet. The operator has to stoop low to ensure that the edge between the pallet and the products is wrapped properly, and subsequently lift the roll a little higher after each complete circuit of the pallet. The operator will overlap successive wraps to make sure that the products will be held securely (a spiral pattern). Once the operator reaches the top, they will then wrap back down to the base of the pallet. The number of wraps will be determined by the operator, depending on the load being wrapped, but also from a visual inspection 'does it look wrapped enough'? The operator's discretion will decide.
The Hazards of Hand Wrapping
Wrapping by hand poses a number of health & safety risks and potential for injury.

Actor Jason Lee has confirmed that he and Ceren Alkac have secretly married.
A confirmation has come from Jason Lee that he and his girlfriend Ceren Alkac have tied the knot. "My wife is Australian," Life & Style Weekly quotes the actor as telling Sydney Sun-Herald newspaper. "And she is my wife now 'cause we just got married and you can report that!"
Jason, nevertheless, doesn't mention on when and where exactly he married Ceren. The marriage confirmation itself comes nearly five months after he fueled wedding speculation following him being seen in line for a marriage license at the Norwalk, Calif. courthouse in late June.
Jason Lee, best known for his role as Earl J. Hickey in TV sitcom "My Name Is Earl", and Ceren Alkac are longtime lovers. Their first child, a daughter whose name is kept under wrap, was born on August 10 this year. In addition to the little girl, Jason also has one son, named Pilot Inspektor Riesgraf-Lee, with former fiancee, actress Beth Riesgraf.

Vanderbilt MBA 2009
— Concentration in Finance
Vice President, Investment Banking - Industrials Group at Wells Fargo
Michael Strupe knows how to assess new terrain quickly. That was part of his job when he served in the United States Marine Corps as an operator in a Force Reconnaissance Platoon.
"I used to do all the fun stuff: jumping out of airplanes, dive missions," Michael says. When his military service ended, he realized he needed additional skills, especially in finance, to attain his goal of a career in investment banking.
Michael chose Owen because of its top finance program, but he discovered much more. "Everyone at Owen really wants to be here. I remember my first day of class, when Professor Tim Vogus asked a question, and everyone in the room raised a hand to answer. There's a contagious atmosphere of learning here.
"Coming to Owen was definitely the right choice for me," Michael says. "The faculty and staff go out of their way to make sure you are achieving your goals, helping me bridge the gap from Special Forces to the world of finance."

Huskies Split Weekend Series With Pioneers
The St. Cloud State Men's Hockey Team bounced back after a tough loss Friday night to beat 13th ranked Denver Pioneers five to one Saturday. The Huskies were led by sophomore defender Nick Jensen who gained his first collegiate hat trick and became the first SCSU defenseman since Bret Hedican to score three goals in a game. Hedican recorded his hat trick on February 15th, 1991.
Jensen opened the SCSU scoring effort just 34 seconds into the game by beating Denver goalie Juho Olkinuora with a slap shot. Jensen added the game winning goal at 13:04 of the first period with a power play goal to make it two to nothing Huskies. Denver broke the shutout at the 18:25 mark of the first period with a goal by Shawn Ostrow.
It was all Huskies after that as Jensen recorded his third goal just 21 seconds into the second period. Sophomore forward Cory Thorson made it a 4 to 1 game after netting a power play goal. Freshman forward Brooks Bertsch capped off the scoring for the Huskies as he scored at 10:17 of the third period. Denver outshot the Huskies 37 to 31 but it was the SCSU power play that made the difference, going two of five on the night. Freshman goalie Ryan Faragher made 36 saves in net for the Huskies and was named the number two star of the game.
The win snapped a six-game winless streak for the Huskies who look to gain some momentum when they face off with Western Michigan University on December 29th and 30th at the National Hockey Center.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Decked out in Penn State hats and jackets, students and townspeople stood for hours in a line more than a quarter-mile long Tuesday to pay their respects to Joe Paterno, the coach who for nearly a half century was the face of their university.
Mourners filed past Paterno's closed brown casket at the campus spiritual center during a public viewing session. Some departed crying.
"He was my hero … I had to come," said a sobbing Gloria Spicer, who was freshman in 1966 when Paterno started his first season as head coach. Paterno, 85, the winningest coach in major college football history, died Sunday of lung cancer.
Spicer and others walked slowly past the undraped casket which had an "honor guard" of two Penn State players – one past and one present. Nearby, a black-and-white photo of a smiling Paterno sat on an easel.
Members of the public were preceded by the Paterno family and current and former players.
"Going in there, waiting two hours in line, it was worth every second," Penn State junior Rob Gressinger said.
The event marked the first of three days of public mourning. There is another public viewing today, and after that Paterno's family will hold a private funeral and procession through State College. On Thursday, the school's basketball arena will be the site of a public service.
Former players began arriving shortly after members of Paterno's last team filed in. Some players hugged, and new Penn State coach Bill O'Brien shook hands with others at the curb outside the center.
Penn State linebacker Khairi Fortt recalled his coach's lessons.
"He said the most important thing for us was to keep the Penn State tradition going," the sophomore from Stamford, Conn., said after leaving the viewing.
Scott Paterno has said that despite the turmoil surrounding his termination from the school, Joe Paterno remained peaceful and upbeat in his final days and still loved Penn State.
Bitterness over Paterno's dismissal has turned up in many forms, from online postings to a rewritten newspaper headline placed next to Paterno's statue at the football stadium blaming the trustees for his death. A headline that read "FIRED" was crossed out and made to read, "Killed by Trustees." Lanny Davis, lawyer for the school's board, said threats have been made against the trustees.
Scott Paterno, however, stressed his father did not die with a broken heart and did not harbor resentment toward Penn State.
"His legacy is still going to be filled with the great things that he did. Look at this place," 1969 Penn State graduate Tom Sherman said before tearing up. "It's like he's part of your life. I admire that guy so much."

A. Summary suspension is an action which requires a student to immediately leave University property, and not return during the suspension period, and/or comply with other stated conditions for a specified period of time. Summary suspension may be imposed upon a student by the Vice President for Student Affairs/Dean of Students or the President of the University when there is reason to believe, based on available facts, that the student represents an immediate threat to the safety, health, or welfare of himself/herself, other persons, or property. This summary action is warranted by potential or threatened danger or disruption, but is used when the serious nature or immediacy of the incident makes it impractical or unsafe to follow normal disciplinary procedures. Summary actions authorized by this policy include:
B. When a student is summarily suspended, she or he will be given a verbal or written explanation, the reason for, and duration of the suspension, as well as any conditions that may apply. A student notified of such summary action shall, upon written request, be given an opportunity to meet with the Vice President for Student Affairs/Dean of Students/designee within seven (7) business days from the date of the request. This meeting shall be held to consider only the following issues related to the summary action:
C. Following the imposition of summary suspension, standard University disciplinary procedures shall be provided as expeditiously as possible. Unless circumstances render the implementation of standard disciplinary procedures impossible or unreasonably difficult, these procedures shall be initiated within 10 business days from the effective date of the summary action.
D. Any student who is summarily suspended and returns to campus or University property and/or violates other stated conditions during the specified period shall be subject to further separate action and may be treated as a trespasser. Permission to be on campus for a specific purpose (e.g. to take an exam, to consult with the Vice President for Student Affairs/Dean of Students/designee, or to participate in disciplinary procedures) must be requested and obtained in writing or by telephone prior to any conduct contrary to the suspension or conditions, and may be granted by the Vice President for Student Affairs/Dean of Students/designee.

Sgt. Scott Eberle
Date: February 11, 2013 4:00 PM
San Rafael, CA – February 11th, 2013. A man who has been on the run from the US Marshal Service since early February was arrested today in San Rafael. An anonymous tip led police to contact Foy Chandler, a 44 year old Washington resident, at the Yacht Harbor located at 557 East Francisco Boulevard. Chandler was in his RV when police initially contacted him. He lied about his identity but then confessed he was on parole. Officers located Chandler's Washington ID card and discovered he was a wanted fugitive.
After the arrest, officers located approximately one gram of methamphetamine concealed in his pants. Officers then searched Chandler's motor home and located a loaded short barreled shotgun in the doorway as well as over 57 grams of methamphetamine and evidence of drug sales.
Chandler was on Federal probation out of Washington State for unspecified weapon offenses. The street value of the methamphetamine is $5,700.
Chandler was booked at the Marin County Jail for felony possession of narcotics with the intent to sell, felony possession of a loaded firearm by a convicted felon and felony possession of a short-barreled shotgun. Chandler remains in custody in Marin County jail on the no-bail parole warrant.

Hi! I' have tried to add a C language function called 'djb_hash' to my databse. It accepts a 32 chars length text as input, and returns a ten chars length numeric string. It implements the 'djb_hash' string hash algorithm, wich unfortunetly returns unsigned int type, so a I had to write it as a C language function. So I had to convert the return value to text. I used to compile it with MinGW and used it on Windows, but now I'd like to use on Linux (Ubuntu 9.04, PostgreSQL 8.3). When I was trying to compile, I ran into numerous errors that concerned type definitions in the headrs (postgres.h, fmgr.h, c.h). The point is I have changed the 'varlena' definition in the 'c.h' (the vl_len_ is now int) Now I have successfully complied, but I can't add it because it complains about: undefined symbol: itoa Here is the definition of the function: #include <math.h> #include <string.h> #include "/usr/include/postgresql/8.3/server/postgres.h" #include "/usr/include/postgresql/8.3/server/fmgr.h" #ifdef PG_MODULE_MAGIC PG_MODULE_MAGIC; #endif PG_FUNCTION_INFO_V1(djb_hash); Datum djb_hash(PG_FUNCTION_ARGS) { char buffer[32]; char output[11]; char* str; text *szoveg = PG_GETARG_TEXT_P(0); text *hash_text = (text*) palloc(VARHDRSZ+10); hash_text->vl_len_ = VARHDRSZ+10; unsigned int hash = 5381; unsigned int i = 0; unsigned int number = 0; memcpy(buffer,szoveg->vl_dat,32); str = &buffer[0]; for(i=0; i<32; str++, i++) { hash = ((hash << 5) + hash) + (*str); } str = &output[0]; number = hash/pow(10,9); if(number != 0) { hash = hash - number*pow(10,9); (*str) = '0'+ number; } else (*str)='0'; str++; for(i=8;str;str++,i--) { number = 0; number = hash/pow(10,i); if (number == 0) (*str) = '0'; else { itoa((int)hash, str, 10); break; } } memcpy(hash_text->vl_dat,output,10); PG_RETURN_TEXT_P(hash_text); } I probably missed something. So any idea would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

Mobile robots are increasingly being used in challenging outdoor environments for applications that include construction, mining, agriculture, military and planetary exploration. In order to accomplish the planned task, it is critical that the motion control system ensure accuracy and robustness. The achievement of high performance on rough terrain is tightly connected with the minimization of vehicle-terrain dynamics effects such as slipping and skidding. This paper presents a cross-coupled controller for a 4-wheel-drive/4-wheel-steer robot, which optimizes the wheel motors' control algorithm to reduce synchronization errors that would otherwise result in wheel slip with conventional controllers. Experimental results, obtained with an all-terrain rover operating on agricultural terrain, are presented to validate the system. It is shown that the proposed approach is effective in reducing slippage and vehicle posture errors.
For mobile robots driving across challenging terrains, the greatest enemy of motion accuracy is wheel slippage. As the vehicle travels on uneven terrain, its suspension system provides for compliance with terrain topography, possibly resulting in different loading profiles for its drive wheels. Since each wheel is generally controlled independently in a closed-loop manner, this may result in one wheel speeding up while another wheel slowing down to reach its speed set point, thus promoting slippage and tendency to sideslip as the robot negotiates large obstacles. The problem is even more severe in so-called over-constrained robots,
In this paper, the CCC idea is implemented and experimentally validated for the general case of a rover outfitted with four independently steered and driven wheels. The system continuously compares the actual encoder readings from all four wheels and issues corrective commands to the motors to slow down the motors that are faster and speed up the motors that are slower than the others. In conventional mobile robots controllers, each drive loop receives no information about the others, and any disturbance in one loop causes an error that is corrected only by this loop, while the other loops carry on as before. Cross-coupled control is used to remedy this problem by sharing the feedback information of all control loops. The overall effect is that the wheel velocities are matched more tightly even in the presence of internal and external disturbances. It should be also noted that the proposed control strategy does not require any additional sensors other than wheel encoders and steer potentiometers that are commonly available in most robots.
A cross-coupled LQR-based controller was proposed and demonstrated via simulations for a four-wheel robot in [
The proposed CCC algorithm is validated in the field using the all-terrain rover Dune, built at the Applied Mechanics Laboratory of the University of Salento. Dune, shown in
One other important benefit of the CCC system should be mentioned. As the rover travels over highly irregular terrain, it is possible the case that one wheel is "in the air". If each of the wheels is independently powered by a motor, then the free-spinning wheel and motor do not contribute torque to propel the vehicle forward. As a result, the vehicle may stall on high-resistance surfaces, such as soft sand. The CCC partially mitigates this problem by increasing the speed of the "stuck" wheel, as the system attempts to equalize the speed of the remaining cross-coupled wheels.
The remainder of the paper is organized as follows. Basic principles of vehicle kinematics are recalled in Section 2. Section 3 describes the proposed motion controller in detail. In Section 4, the system is validated in the field with the rover Dune and its performance are compared against the conventional approach. Section 5 concludes this paper.
Consider a four-wheel-drive/steer robot that is turning counter-clockwise, as shown in
Mobile robots can be considered as multi-axis drive servomechanisms. Disturbances that affect one control loop may differ from disturbances that affect the other loops. Even if each axis is equipped with a high performance tracking controller, the error in one axis will affect the whole motion of the system. If this phenomenon is overlooked and each axis is controlled independently, it will most likely lead to poor motion accuracy. The problem is exacerbated in over-constrained vehicles, where any momentary mismatch between wheel velocities with respect to the vehicle kinematic model will result in wheels "fighting" each other with consequent ill-effects, including increase in power consumption and errors in the odometry-based position estimation [
In order to achieve a coordination control, a cross-coupled control approach can be applied where the whole multi-axis system is considered as a single system. Compensations are calculated by taking into account the mutual influences to match more tightly the different axes and consequently reduce the error in the global motion control. The CCC continuously compares the wheel encoder pulses of a robot to slow down the motor that is faster and speed up the motor that is slower than the others. The overall effect of this approach is that the wheel velocities are matched more tightly according to the correct kinematic behavior of the robot. The proposed cross-coupled approach differentiates between straight and turning motion. When the rover follows a straight path, the average longitudinal velocity is estimated and the deviation of a given wheel from this average value is used to adjust the associated set point in order to gain speed synchronization. During turning maneuvers, the single speed set points are corrected based on the discrepancy with a so-defined mean absolute lateral velocity. Details of how the CCC handles these two types of motion are presented in the remainder of this section.
During turning maneuvers, each wheel travels with a velocity proportional to the distance from the instantaneous center of rotation,
Under the assumption of symmetric steering, the magnitude of the lateral velocity component has to be equal for the front and rear wheel pairs,
The lateral velocity component for wheel
And the deviation of the
In this section, experimental results are presented to validate the proposed cross-coupled control approach. The system was integrated with the rover Dune (see
The main idea behind the cross-coupled approach can be explained with a preliminary experiment where the rover was commanded to drive straight forward as braking torques were applied to one of the wheels,
Different types of experiments were conducted on Dune to evaluate the performance of the CCC method with respect to the conventional control. Two main performance metrics were used to quantitatively evaluate the system: the orientation error and the tracking error. The orientation error is defined as
The tracking error can be defined for wheel
For example, if one wheel spins at high angular velocity without the equivalent translatory progression of the rover,
Two types of experiments were considered.
Paths generated by single straight-line and turning maneuvers.
Closed loop paths, where both straight lines and 90° turns in the four corners of the rectangular path contributed to the overall errors.
Tests were first performed along a 5-meter straight path with a constant travel speed of 10 cm/s. Six runs with each control method were performed.
In order to evaluate the effectiveness in reducing slippage using the CCC, the mean tracking error was estimated for each run. Then, the average over the six experiments was calculated and collected in
The advantage of the CCC system is also confirmed when considering higher traction surfaces.
A second set of experiments was performed driving the rover with a constant linear velocity of 5 cm/s along a circular path with a turning radius of 5-meter (
It is apparent from these results that the CCC module is indeed effective in minimizing the difference in wheel velocities of the rover in both straight and turning maneuvers.
Experiments were performed along a closed path to test the improvement in motion accuracy using the CCC method. The experimental benchmark proposed in Ojeda
In this paper, a cross-coupled control approach was described to improve motion accuracy of all-terrain rovers with independently steered and driven wheels. It aims to optimize the motors' control algorithm of the robot to reduce synchronization errors that would otherwise result in wheel slip with conventional controllers. Experimental results obtained using a test platform, operating outdoor in a rural environment, validated the system. It was demonstrated that during single straight-line and turning maneuvers, the orientation error and the tracking error were significantly reduced to maximum values of 1.5 deg and 0.55%, respectively, which is a remarkable result when compared with the reference of more than 12 deg of orientation error and 2.21% of wheel slip. Furthermore, in closed loop experiments, the CCC showed its effectiveness in improving motion accuracy keeping the return positioning error to well under 1% of the total travel distance. This technique can be successfully applied to enhance the degree of mobility and autonomy of all-terrain robots.
