The DLR scientists reporting to project manager Carsten Preusche at the Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics have developed a human-system interface which provides a user-friendly and intuitive form of interaction – between the person as the controlling virtual operator and a robot acting as the physical teleoperator. The person involved is linked to the system in a multimodal manner and directs the arm, finger and head movements of the telerobot in real time. The special aspect here is that human sensory inputs are transmitted back to the operator. "The operator is able to see, hear and feel the environment and the interaction of the robot with that environment. This link, involving a range of human senses, enables the human operator to feel physically present in these remote environments. We describe this technology as 'multimodal telepresence'," explains Carsten Preusche.
Human and robot united
The 'unification' of man and machine takes place in three stages. First of all, the operator slides an arm into an arm-length sleeve with vibration feedback and data gloves equipped with flexible sensors. At first glance, this sleeve resembles a thin leather glove. The operator then puts on the data goggles, in a manner similar to putting on a bicycle helmet. This head-mounted display delivers 3D imagery and records the head position in virtual space. Finally, the human operator is connected to the haptic (touch-sensitive) input station – comprising two DLR lightweight robot arms, used to control and depict forces.
"I stand, or sit down, between the input arms and slide my left and right hands into their holders. At these points of contact, I receive feedback about the various forces encountered – for example when I task the robot with the use of a battery-powered wrench, I physically sense the resistance level encountered," explains Simon Schätzle, a member of the Telepresence and Virtual Reality research group at the DLR Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics. A foot pedal on the floor provides the operator with an emergency stop switch. This is used to enable the system, and can shut it down again at any time.
Safety is a central concern in all matters relating to interaction between man and machine. To prevent physical injuries, a safety coupling releases the hand mounting on the device whenever forces rise above a defined level. In cases like this, the entire system is also shut down at the same time. "Dealing with telepresence technologies is therefore absolutely risk-free for human operators," emphasises project manager Preusche.
Surprisingly 'real'
Telepresence technologies enable people to experience remote or virtual spaces realistically and to alter them with the help of robotic systems. Although it is a highly complex matter to set up these various components properly and to make them interact, operation at the input station itself is a fairly simple matter. The robot arms provide one example of this – their freedom of movement equates to that of the human torso. This enables the operator to implement each work operation directly; that is, without any need for conversion, which means that the teleoperator can be operated intuitively. The human operator's sense of touch is stimulated by a vibro-tactile interface – similar to that in a mobile phone when it 'confirms' actions by means of a slight vibration through the screen keyboard, thereby depicting such things as contacts at the elbow.
DLR engineer Simon Schätzle knows from his own experience just how 'real' the virtual world can feel. During DLR's presence at the 2010 International Aerospace Exhibition (ILA) in Berlin, he demonstrated the potential applications of this system to visitors, and controlled the telerobot, Justin. "After about 25 minutes, when I handed over to my colleague, I was at first really irritated that I was left standing at the side of the trade fair stand – and not centre stage like the robot. I still had the feeling that I was Justin. That really was a strange feeling".
The future of space travel
Multimodal telepresence is viewed as a key technology for the future of space travel. An important area of application is that of on-orbit servicing. The aim here is to repair defective satellites up in space from down here on Earth, or to deliberately move them out of orbit for destruction during re-entry. The telepresence operations required to make this possible have already been put in place between the International Space Station (ISS) and the ground station in Oberpfaffenhofen. ROKVISS, a system used for verification of robot components, has been operating as a technology experiment on board the ISS since the end of 2004 and can now be controlled remotely from any point on Earth by a combination of laptop PC and mobile phone.
In future, intelligent robots are to be used in space as the 'extended arm of humankind'. That means that the deployment of DLR's robot Justin, built to resemble a human being, does not need to be restricted to planet Earth. As 'Space Justin', the service robot can operate in orbit – it receives movement commands from an operator down here on Earth. This means that the robot of the future will be able to carry out complex repair tasks and reduce the workload of astronauts during their difficult and dangerous space missions. Telepresence technology is the key to an optimum combination of the intellectual capabilities of human beings on Earth with the dexterity and precision of a robot in space.

The early television ratings from Sunday night are in.
For all those – including me – who lambasted NBC's decision of putting Sunday night's thrilling United States victory over Canada on sister station MSNBC, we can eat humble pie. Turns out NBC does actually know what it's doing, after all.
Nationally, an average of 23.3 million viewers tuned in each half-hour from 7:30 pm EST until 10 o'clock pm EST to watch ice dancing and other Olympic highlights on NBC.
Almost 15 million less people (an average of 8.22 million) tuned into MSNBC in the U.S. during that same time period to watch the United States beat Canada to earn the No. 1 seed and cap off their preliminary round schedule.
That sounds like a win-win for NBC.
Let's put those numbers in perspective:
- Sunday night was the most watched hockey game in the U.S. since May 10, 1973 (Chicago vs. Montral, Game 6). Sunday night's game had more viewers than Game 7 of the 2009 Stanley Cup Final between Detroit and Pittsburgh.
- It is the second most-watched program in MSNBC history, falling just 8,000 average viewers short of the 2008 Presidential Election coverage.
- MSNBC is available in 78 million households, NBC is available in 112 million households.
Would it have been nice to see the game on NBC? Certainly.
It's tough to say whether the game would've garnered higher ratings on NBC. It seemed like many people just tuned into NBC for Olympic coverage and not to watch a specific event or game.
But here's why I enjoyed it on MSNBC: they showed the game in its entirety, unlike some of the other games in the preliminary round where they were forced to break away from coverage, and they showed it with limited interruptions. It was annoying to watch some of the other prelim games with seconds of play missing so they could fit in a full commercial between the quick Olympic stoppages.
Plus, I'm biased. I watched the game in HD… MSNBC isn't available in HD in all areas. Some say that HD has a bigger impact on hockey than it does any other sport.
On MSNBC, the game was also broadcast live Coast-to-Coast instead of on a tape-delay out West.
Now, with much of the country buzzing, NBC will be in a good spot to move the playoff and medal round games over to the big network.
Interestingly, Sunday's game between the U.S. and Canada – which is still being talked about on Twitter as "Do you believe in Miller-acles?" because of goaltender Ryan Miller's performances – did beat NBC in some markets.
The Buffalo News reported early today that MSNBC was viewed in 14.6 percent of Buffalo-area households compared to 13.4 percent of the other coverage on NBC.
Buffalo is a true hockey town... but it'd be interesting to see which markets with hockey had MSNBC out-draw big brother NBC during the game. How much of Sunday night's national ratings come from parts of the country where hockey isn't even a blip on the radar?
Sunday's game was the most watched program in Canadian television history. An average of 10.6 million - peaking at 13 million people - watched on CTV. A reported 12 million people watched the U.S. beat Canada back on Jan. 6 in the World Junior (Under-20) Championships in Canada.
The 8.22 million viewers in the U.S. would've made up more than 24-percent of Canada's total population.

I love this "what is embedded" discussion. It's one I have frequently (I'm responsible for the content on Embedded.com and all the ESCs around the world). There really isn't one right answer, and it usualy depends on the technical knowledge of the person you're having the debate with. The simplest definition of an "embedded system" that I'm aware of is that an embedded system is a computer whose end function is to be something other than a computer.

OAKLAND – Long after the game ended, Raiders rookie cornerback D.J. Hayden sat in front of his locker, half dressed, with a white towel draped over his bowed head.
A short time later, Hayden declined an interview request and exited the locker room, leaving others to explain just how the Philadelphia Eagles carved up the Raiders for 419 yards passing and seven touchdowns in a 49-20 victory.
"He had a tough day," veteran safety Charles Woodson said of Hayden, "but everybody's gone through it. If you've played in the NFL, you've had a long day before. But if you want to play a long time, then you've got to get past it."
Sunday turned into a long day for Hayden and the Raiders from the outset, with the Eagles scoring on their first four possessions. The second and third of those touchdowns were scored by receivers covered by Hayden.
Eagles quarterback Nick Foles etched his name into the NFL record book with the seven touchdown passes. He became only the second player to accomplish the feat since 1969. The Broncos' Peyton Manning pulled it off against the Baltimore Ravens in the season-opener this season.
This wasn't the first time Foles passed for seven touchdowns in a game. The other?
"In a video game," Foles said.
Time and again, Foles completed passes to receivers covered by Hayden, including one to DeSean Jackson for 59 yards that set up the Eagles final touchdown.
Raiders coach Dennis Allen echoed Woodson's sentiment about Hayden having a difficult time. In fairness, Allen added, there's plenty of blame to go around in a game when the defense gives up 542 yards.
"D.J. wasn't the only one that had a tough day," Allen said. "Obviously, when you play out there on the island and you have a tough day, those things stand out a little bit more."
Woodson knows firsthand the pressures of succeeding right away at cornerback as a rookie in the NFL, especially one selected in the top half of the first round.
He was picked No. 4 by the Raiders in the 1998 NFL draft and struggled a great deal in his first game, as well as at times his first season.
"D.J. is the 12thpick in the draft," Woodson said of the Raiders first selection in April. "Nobody's going to feel sorry for him. And one thing about it is, he was in position. He was in position to make plays. Those are plays he's going to have to make going forward."
Indeed, Hayden differs from some others that got victimized by Foles and the Eagles today in that he at least came close to making plays. There were a few plays in which the Raiders failed to cover receivers.
Hayden was stride for stride with Riley Cooper on a deep throw in the second quarter before he tripped as the ball arrived at Cooper's hands as part of a 63-yard touchdown.
Hayden let Jackson get past him by a couple of yards on the 59-yard completion before he closed ground and just missed getting his hand on the well-thrown pass.
Veteran cornerback Tracy Porter said the Eagles outplayed the Raiders in every facet of the game. He called the defensive showing "flat-out embarrassing."
Just the same, he said, this was the kind of game that the Raiders can use as a wake-up call and use as a means of improving.
"From the top guy on the team to the last guy on the roster," Porter said, "we didn't do our job in preparing for this team as well as we could this week, and it showed."

It was only a year ago that I moved from the Blackjack to the Blackberry Curve and overall I was happy with the Curve. Great battery life, great phone, so-so on tethering so I ended up moving to a USB air card instead. The other feature that wasn't great was the camera; resolution was good enough for my needs, but it was sloooooow saving. I'd still be using it minor faults and all except for the previously posted problem it had with getting dropped in the sink. Phone worked, camera did not, and I actually use it enough that I missed it.
I would have liked the chance to try the Blackberry Storm, but it's Verizon and I use ATT, so it was either the iPhone or the Bold. I gave the iPhone serious consideration, it's shown itself to be better at mobile web browsing than anything else I've seen (I think the size of the display makes the biggest difference) and I find I spend less time replying to email via phone than in years past. Still, old habits die hard, and I was curious to see the new Blackberry in action, so Bold it was. A bold choice?
It's a 3g phone, and works as well as the Curve and other Blackberries have as a phone. Battery life is somewhat reduced, but still good enough to get through a day easily before needing a charge. The web browser is better than before (though not as nice as iPhone), the camera save time is much better, and the display itself is definitely nice. 3G helps on web browsing, is reasonably usable. Worth the $299 I paid for it? I'd say barely, when you can get the Curve for $99 or less and have a phone that works with a nice keyboard too.
It's strange to think that for years many people (consumers mainly, but some IT) wouldn't use a Blackberry because of the form factor, yet the iPhone has a similar clunky size compared to the little phones and yet people instantly take to it. I think that fun outweighs all, and the Blackberry is useful...but not fun!
I'll try not to drop this one in the sink, and try to keep it for 2 years, though I'm often tempted by the latest and greatest.

Four Great Router Table Plans
The day after tomorrow is Independence Day, and there's nothing more independent than building out your own workshop. Workshop projects are a double bonus because you save money by building fixtures yourself, and then you save money and gain independence while using them.
I started digging into our magazine archives and found a number of articles on building your own router table. Now, that's nothing special because all woodworking magazines do router table plans. If anything, the fact that Popular Woodworking Magazine has not published a router table plan for over four years makes us a little different. But these ones I found are actually really cool. They are all high-quality designs and quite creative. Especially if you're a beginner who is just now building out your shop, I think you'll find these very helpful.
All four of these designs are available in our store as part of the magazine issues in which they originally appeared. Just click on the image to buy a copy. You might want to mix and match different design aspects to create your own unique router table.
And speaking of no-nonsense designs for your workshop, there is one more router table and 23 other projects in our new book from Danny Proulx, "Practical Woodshop Projects." Danny was famous for his stripped-down approach. That approach is perfectly suited to shop jobs. You don't need fancy, just solid and functional! The router table in this book is a lot like the one that Norm Abram made famous, with drawers for your bits.
Celebrate your independence by spending a lot of time in your shop this weekend and making it that much easier to use!
–Dan Farnbach

Pat and Nicole Reeve have been fortunate to travel and hunt in some great areas in the U.S. and Canada for their "Driven" television show, but there's nothing like hunting at home and over the Christmas holiday they made the most of it.
Carson Reeve, 9, scored with his first buck while hunting with Pat and family members. Carson dropped the big buck with his Barnett crossbow at about 20 yards. What a great way to enjoy the holiday!

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford doesn't shy away from the scandal that consumed the end of his second term in his first television ad for the 1st District congressional race.
Sanford starts the 30-second advertisement pointing out he fought to cut government spending and reduce debt. He then says he recently learned that no one goes through life without mistakes. He thanks what he calls "a God of second chances" for making him a better person. He ends by saying he "humbly" asks for votes.
In the middle of his second term, Sanford headed to Argentina to see his mistress without telling anyone in government. It led to his divorce.
Sanford is one of 16 candidates vying for the Republican nomination for the open seat.

Souths bubble bursts as Bulldogs reign supreme
Round 4 - Full Time :: April 6th, 2007 Bulldogs 34 defeated Rabbitohs 10
The Bulldogs have put to an end South Sydney's unbeaten start to the season, hammering them 34-10 tonight at Telstra Stadium in front of a record crowd of 34,315.
In what looked to be a real arm wrestle of a match, the Bulldogs flexed their muscle late in the game, with a fifteen minute period of sheer dominance in defense and attack that opened the game right up.
It was an even game for the first fifty minutes, until sustained pressure on Souths line saw Kane Cleal dive over in the 57th minute for the first try of the second half. Five minutes later, some lovely expansive play from the Dogs saw the ball fed through the hands of playmakers Daniel Holdsworth and Ben Roberts, and finally into Daryl Millard who took advantage of a four-on-two overlap and raced away to score in the corner. Winger Hazem El Masri scored the final try for the Dogs, touching down in the 70th minute, following some beautiful offloads from Luke Patten and Millard in the lead-up.
A bit of Nathan Merritt brilliance grabbed Souths a consolation try at the death. Merritt chipped for himself, chased through, and forced the ball in-goal in a brilliant solo effort that unfortunately came too late in the game for Souths.
The first half was a much more evenly fought contest, with Souths drawing first blood through fullback David Peachey, after lovely lead-up work from halfback Joe Williams. Williams ran down the blindside on the last tackle, drew two defenders, and then passed on the inside to Peachey, who used his footwork to get away from Andrew Ryan, and race away to touch down beside the sticks.
The Bulldogs hit back five minutes later when Trent Cutler scored the first of his two tries for the night. Chasing through a grubber on the last, Cutler ducked in beside Souths winger Paul Mellor, who was willing the ball dead, and grounding the ball for the Bulldogs first points of the night. Cutlers second came fifteen minutes later, where with seemingly nothing on, and under heavy attention from Souths defenders, Cutler somehow forced his way over the line to score. El Masri slotted both the conversions, as well as a penalty goal in between, to give us our half time score of 14-6.
It was a good night for El Masri, top scoring with one try and seven goals, for a personal tally of 18 points.
Kickoff: 07:30 PM Venue: Telstra Stadium Referee: Shayne Hayne Crowd: 34,315
South Sydney Rabbitohs 10 Tries: David Peachey, Nathan Merritt Goals: Joe Williams (1/2) Canterbury Bulldogs 34 Tries: Trent Cutler (2), Kane Cleal, Daryl Millard, Hazem El Masri Goals: Hazem El Masri (7/7)
League Unlimited Live Commentary
Welcome to Telstra Stadium for this blockbuster Good Friday clash between the South Sydney Rabbitohs and The Bulldogs. Both teams are as per programme, with Souths fielding the same 17 for the fourth week in a row, while the Bulldogs have Sonny Bill Williams back from suspension, but have lost Mark O'Meley to suspension. It's a perfect night for football. The air is a bit chilly, but the sky is clear and there's no signs of rain.
In Jersey Flegg, the Bulldogs absolutely romped it home, winning 36-blot.
0 min: And the Bulldogs get us underway!
2 min: After a fantastic set by the Dogs, they give away the first penalty of the match whilst trying to keep Souths contained within their 10. Souths have the ball on halfway.
5 min: The Bulldogs have just blown a certain try. Short passes and offloads from the Bulldogs forward pack has the Souths defense in sixes and sevens. Chris Armit find himself with the ball and a free run to the line, but in a desperate tackle, loses the ball over the line.
6 min: A penalty for an apparent strip has given Souths possession 10 out from the Bulldogs line. Best attacking opportunity of the match so far.
8 min: Great pressure from the Rabbitohs, but lovely defense by the Dogs - unlucky not to score.
9 min: A lovely offload from Paul Mellor put Jeremy Smith through a gaping hole in the Dogs defense on Souths 30. Smith made a long break down to the Dogs 40, where he offloaded to Nathan Merritt in support. Merritt then lost the ball in a lovely cover tackle from the Dogs defense.
11 min: PENALTY COUNT: Souths 3-1
13 min: TRY South Sydney Rabbitohs And Souths strike first blood. Joe Williams ran the ball on the blindside on the last, and attracted 2 defenders. Williams then offloaded to Peachey, who used his footwork to get around Ryan on the inside, and runs away to score beside the posts. Conversion attempt by Joe Williams successful. South Sydney Rabbitohs 6-0
16 min: Souths looking to be adventurous with their plays, unfortunately that last one came undone for them with an offload from Vagana being knocked on by Kidwell. Dogs have the ball on Souths 20.
18 min: VIDEO REF - Possible Bulldogs Try...
18 min: TRY Canterbury Bulldogs A lovely grubber from Holdsworth has been touched down by Trent Cutler in the corner. Conversion attempt by Hazem El Masri successful. 6 all
21 min: PENALTY GOAL Canterbury Bulldogs Back to back penalties conceded from Souths have given the Dogs a gift two points to go to an 8-6 lead. Canterbury Bulldogs 8-6
25 min: Fantastic goal-line defense from the Bulldogs has seen them survive back-to-back attacking sets from Souths.
26 min: Fantastic stuff. Souths aren't doing much wrong but they just can't get through the defense. Don't know how long the Dogs can keep up that defense.
27 min: VIDEO REF - Possible Bulldogs Try... Peachey looks to have lost the ball in a two-man wrestling tackle, with Ryan on the spot to dive on the ball for the try.
27 min: NO TRY - Scrum The video ref threw the decision back down to referee Hayne, who comes up with the decision of Bulldogs scrum, 10 out from Souths line. Hayne has ruled that Peachey lost the ball after held was called.
32 min: VIDEO REF - Possible Bulldogs Try...
32 min: TRY Canterbury Bulldogs An attempted cut-out pass from Holdsworth out to Cutler on the wing with a 3 on 2 overlap went to ground before reaching Cutler, giving the Souths defense time to regroup. With the play seemingly dead, Cutler puts on the footwork, and touches down in the corner despite heavy attention from two Souths defenders. Conversion attempt by Hazem El Masri successful. Canterbury Bulldogs 14-6
35 min: INJURY - Souths Paul Mellor has come off the field and gone straight up the tunnel to the dressing sheds.
38 min: After receiving a penalty and great possession deep in Dogs territory, Souths have been robbed of a genuine scoring opportunity after a flat ball at worst was called forward by the touch judge.
40 min: And it's halftime in what has been a fairly even, and very entertaining, contest thus far. The Bulldogs leading 14-6.
HALF TIME: It's been a tightly fought game, and there isn't a lot between these teams, regardless of the score. The Bulldogs forward pack has been the more dominant of the two, however it is Souths willingness to throw the ball around that is keeping them in the game. Both teams have had genuine scoring opportunities, with Souths being let down by the last tackle kick on most occasions. The Dogs have been more disciplined with their attacking plays, and have taken full advantage of most of them. However, poor decisions from the referees have robbed the Dogs of one certain try, so Souths can consider themselves lucky that they are only down by 8.
Dogs looking better than they have all year. There hasn't been a great deal between the teams and Souths have been unlucky at times. The Dogs have a terrible 2nd half record over the past few years and need to push on if they're going to hold. Conversely if Souths manage to step up, they could run away with it... Dogs by 50 ;()
40 min: And Joe Williams gets the second half underway!
43 min: Souths get the first penalty of the second half, with the Bulldogs tacklers up around the head of Shane Rigon. Souths have the ball 20 out from the Dogs line.
46 min: CROWD - 34,315
50 min: It's been an even half so far, with both teams completing their sets, getting to their kicks, and staying strong in defense.
54 min: Shayne Hayne certainly is having a Barry Crocker tonight, awarding Souths a penalty after he found a high shot from Sonny Bill Williams. Only problem is, Williams' arm got caught on a teammates shoulder and didn't even look to make contact with the Souths player.
55 min: Roberts has looked better than the first 3 rounds, but he still lacks creativity. His kicking has lacked intensity and he hasn't taken on the line or posed a threat. I think its time for Sherwin to come back.
57 min: TRY Canterbury Bulldogs A lovely cut-out ball from Dallas McIlwain lands right onto the chest of Kane Cleal, who loses his footing, falls to the ground, then reaches out to score. Conversion attempt by Hazem El Masri successful. Canterbury Bulldogs 20-6
59 min: Bulldogs looking to gain the upperhand in this match. Souths need to score next if they are to remain in the contest, however are having a hard time finding their way through or around the Dogs defense.
62 min: TRY Canterbury Bulldogs Lovely long passes from Holdsworth and Roberts stretches Souths defense, in the end giving the Dogs a 4 on 2 overlap, with Daryl Millard racing away to score in the corner. This game now looks to be well beyond Souths, their fairytale run seemingly coming to an end. Conversion attempt by Hazem El Masri successful. Canterbury Bulldogs 26-6
65 min: It's all coming undone for Souths, losing possession on their own 35, and inviting the Dogs to pile more points on.
70 min: TRY Canterbury Bulldogs Following a knock-on by Dean Widders down on the Dogs 30, the Dogs immediately go on the counter-attack, working the ball some 40 metres downfield before Souths actually stop the play. 5 tackles later, and some lovely offloads from Patten, then an absolute beauty from Millard, sees El Masri grab the spoils. Conversion attempt by Hazem El Masri successful. Canterbury Bulldogs 32-6
74 min: PENALTY GOAL Canterbury Bulldogs El Masri lines up, and guides the ball between the sticks from 30 out, taking his personal tally for the night to 18 points. Canterbury Bulldogs 34-6
74 min: First time in a long time the dogs have gained intensity in a second half performance. The forwards have fired up in the absence of O'Meley, with Mason and Sonny Bill giving it everything. Souths have given it their all, but still have a long way to go in this competition. The scoreline doesn't do this battle justice; Souths have played well, but the Dogs have just been too strong.
79 min: TRY South Sydney Rabbitohs Souths grab a try at the death through none other than Nathan Merritt, who continues to show his freaking try scoring ability. Receiving the ball from Widders on the halfway line, Merritt ran to the defense on the 40, then chipped over the top, chasing through to regather and score. Conversion attempt by Joe Williams unsuccessful. Canterbury Bulldogs 34-10
80 min: And it's full time here at Telstra Stadium. Souths put up a good fight, but ultimately were no match for the Bulldogs, who won the match 34-10 in front of a bumper crowd.

Editor's note: Each week, InsideMdSports.com provides this blog with a Maryland recruiting feature that previously appeared as premium content on its site.
After striking gold at Good Counsel in 2012 – the Terps received commitments from offensive lineman Mike Madaras, running back Wes Brown and wide receiver Stefon Diggs – Maryland struck out with the school's top prospects in the class of 2013. The Terps are hoping to get back to the success they had in 2012 at Good Counsel with the class of 2014, which boasts plenty of Division I recruits.
One of those prospects is offensive lineman Sam Mustipher, who attended Maryland's junior day on Saturday.
"It went great," Mustipher said. "I got to spend a lot of quality time with the coaches. I had a good time up there. I'll probably go back up again for a spring practice or the spring game. I definitely enjoyed the atmosphere of the Duke game. It doesn't get much better than that."
The 6-foot-4, 285-pound Mustipher, who is rated as the fifth-best prospect in Maryland and 11th-best offensive guard in the nation according to 247Sports, participated in various junior day activities, including attending the Duke game, meeting the Terps' coaches and touring the team's facilities and locker room.
But Mustipher, who spent time with Mike Locksley and former teammates Zach Dancel and Diggs on Saturday, had a special addition to his campus visit. Since he's already taken in Maryland's campus multiple times, Mustipher sat down with coach Randy Edsall for a one-on-one chat while other prospects were taking in the scenery in College Park.
"I talked to Coach Edsall when I first got there," Mustipher said. "The other recruits were taking a tour of the campus. There's really no need for me to take a tour around. I've been there four times before and I went to last year's junior day. It was good to get time to speak to him.
"He told me that he wants to stay in touch and get me back down there again because for junior day there's a bunch of players there. He wants me to come back again to have a better, one-on-one meeting and I can go check out the engineering school."
With 22 scholarship offers and counting, including looks from Notre Dame, Ohio State, Florida, Florida State, Michigan, Nebraska, Tennessee and West Virginia, Mustipher has plenty of choices when it comes to making his eventual college decision. At the moment, he's just enjoying the process and has yet to narrow his list of suitors.
"I haven't started to think about college much at all," Mustipher said. "I'll sit down in the summer time when I have free time. In the summer time, all I do is work out with the team and spend time with my friends. Then I'll start to think about top schools."
Mustipher specifically mentioned Clemson, North Carolina, Northwestern, Michigan, Ohio State, Notre Dame and Maryland as schools he wanted to visit again, but admitted that list would likely grow.
"It's going to get pretty hectic during the summer time," Mustipher said. "Those are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head, but I'm going to try to visit every school possible."
Because of his his national pedigree, large number of offers and choice to keep the recruiting process close to his chest, just where Mustipher ends up is hard to handicap at this point.
But it's clear Saturday's junior day made an impression.
"Maryland fans are definitely devoted," Mustipher said. "[The Duke game] was a great game to watch. I'm looking forward to seeing how they finish off this basketball season. It was great seeing how devoted the fans are and how creative the student section was. It shows how unified the university is."

Apponequet Regional High School students Kaleigh and Kyle Swainamer both aspire to pursue a career in a medical-related field.
However, the skills that are vital in the business world — will always be etched in their minds.
The brother and sister team earned a first place trophy — out of 164 teams — in the Business Adminstration Core Exam for the international business club DECA. DECA prepares high school students who compete against each other on skills for careers in economics, marketing and other business fields. It also prepares students for interviewing and other necessary job skills.
This year's Apponequet team did well in a recent district competition, with 140 students competing and 60 making it to the state competition, which will be held March 6-8 at the Marriott Copley Hotel in Boston.
According to school spokeswoman Laurie Belanger, nine students earned first place trophies for their category; seven students earned second place trophies for their category; eight students earned third place trophies for their category; 39 students earned top ten plaques; and six life skills members were recognized with medals for their accomplishments.
All told, 84 medals were earned for receiving first, second or third place on an exam.
"It is a good learning experience. It is fun and I have made some good friends through DECA conferences and gained knowledge for the future," said Kaleigh Swainamer, a junior who has competed since her freshmen year.
Kaleigh said she wants to be a physical therapist when she grows older, but will consider a minor in business as a result of the skills she has gained through DECA
Her brother, Apponequet senior Kyle Swainamer, competed in DECA for the first time this year.
He said it took coaxing from his sister and faculty advisor Frank Rosa before he finally decided to compete this year.
Kyle said he is glad he took the plunge; working with his little sister, the duo earned first place in the business exam, competing with 164 other students. The Swainamer duo also notched first place — out of 20 teams — in their core area exam, hospitality.
Kyle said he wants to become a doctor when he graduates from school and right now is weighing his options for college, with some acceptance letters already in hand.
He said he also might consider becoming a medical administrator, which would greatly tap into the skills he gained through DECA.
Freetown-Lakeville School Committee member Michael McCue beamed with joy over the success of the students. A 2004 graduate of Apponequet, McCue served as a chaperone for the recent trip to the district conference. He said during his senior year, Rosa restarted a DECA group at the school for the first time in years, watching it grow from 20 competing students to 140 this year.
Rosa said some students have asked him if they could statistically map out how successful Apponequet has been the last few years, with many going on to compete in an international conference after the state affair.
Rosa, a longtime advisor who has coached the Apponequet chapter for 11 consecutive years, says he instills the importance of having confidence and preparing well and hard in his students.
"I stress that it is like playing a sport — you compete against yourself ...you have no control over the competition. You have to have the confidence and ability in preparation," Rosa said.
He added that many prepare well and do better than what they think — developing a confidence that they can take with them to other professions. Many students go to college, while others pursue another avenues, such as the military. All benefit from their hard work in DECA, he said.
"When they go and compete, most will do better than what they think. They are more capable than what they think... They can take that wherever they go," Rosa said.
"It teaches great skills for college, great skills for business and it reinforces all the good work and gives them something tangible to take home," McCue added, while also praising Rosa for pushing the kids to new heights.
"The program has grown exponentially and a lot of it is through Frank's hard work," McCue said.

We present a two-scale finite element method for solving Brinkman's and Darcy's equations. These systems of equations model fluid flows in highly porous and porous media, respectively. The method uses a recently proposed discontinuous Galerkin FEM for Stokes' equations byWang and Ye and the concept of subgrid approximation developed by Arbogast for Darcy's equations. In order to reduce the "resonance error" and to ensure convergence to the global fine solution the algorithm is put in the framework of alternating Schwarz iterations using subdomains around the coarse-grid boundaries. The discussed algorithms are implemented using the Deal.II finite element library and are tested on a number of model problems.
Calculating effective heat conductivity for a class of industrial problems is discussed. The considered composite materials are glass and metal foams, fibrous materials, and the like, used in isolation or in advanced heat exchangers. These materials are characterized by a very complex internal structure, by low volume fraction of the higher conductive material (glass or metal), and by a large volume fraction of the air. The homogenization theory (when applicable), allows to calculate the effective heat conductivity of composite media by postprocessing the solution of special cell problems for representative elementary volumes (REV). Different formulations of such cell problems are considered and compared here. Furthermore, the size of the REV is studied numerically for some typical materials. Fast algorithms for solving the cell problems for this class of problems, are presented and discussed.
Two-level domain decomposition preconditioner for 3D flows in anisotropic highly heterogeneous porous media is presented. Accurate finite volume discretization based on multipoint flux approximation (MPFA) for 3D pressure equation is employed to account for the jump discontinuities of full permeability tensors. DD/MG type preconditioner for above mentioned problem is developed. Coarse scale operator is obtained from a homogenization type procedure. The influence of the overlapping as well as the influence of the smoother and cell problem formulation is studied. Results from numerical experiments are presented and discussed.
On the Performance of Certain Iterative Solvers for Coupled Systems Arising in Discretization of Non-Newtonian Flow Equations (2004)
Iterative solution of large scale systems arising after discretization and linearization of the unsteady non-Newtonian Navier–Stokes equations is studied. cross WLF model is used to account for the non-Newtonian behavior of the fluid. Finite volume method is used to discretize the governing system of PDEs. Viscosity is treated explicitely (e.g., it is taken from the previous time step), while other terms are treated implicitly. Different preconditioners (block–diagonal, block–triangular, relaxed incomplete LU factorization, etc.) are used in conjunction with advanced iterative methods, namely, BiCGStab, CGS, GMRES. The action of the preconditioner in fact requires inverting different blocks. For this purpose, in addition to preconditioned BiCGStab, CGS, GMRES, we use also algebraic multigrid method (AMG). The performance of the iterative solvers is studied with respect to the number of unknowns, characteristic velocity in the basic flow, time step, deviation from Newtonian behavior, etc. Results from numerical experiments are presented and discussed.
The performance of oil filters used in the automotive industry can be significantly improved, especially when computer simulation is an essential component of the design process. In this paper, we consider parallel numerical algorithms for solving mathematical models describing the process of filtration, filtering out solid particles from liquid oil. The Navier-Stokes-Brinkmann system of equations is used to describe the laminar flow of incompressible isothermal oil. The space discretization in the complicated filter geometry is based on the finite-volume method. Special care is taken for an accurate approximation of velocity and pressure on the interface between the fluid and the porous media. The time discretization used here is a proper modification of the fractional time step discretization (cf. Chorin scheme) of the Navier-Stokes equations, where the Brinkmann term is considered at both, prediction and correction substeps. A data decomposition method is used to develop a parallel algorithm, where the domain is distributed among processors by using a structured reference grid. The MPI library is used to implement the data communication part of the algorithm. A theoretical model is proposed for the estimation of the complexity of the given parallel algorithm and a scalability analysis is done on the basis of this model. Results of computational experiments are presented, and the accuracy and efficiency of the parallel algorithm is tested on real industrial geometries.
A numerical upscaling approach, NU, for solving multiscale elliptic problems is discussed. The main components of this NU are: i) local solve of auxil- iary problems in grid blocks and formal upscaling of the obtained re sults to build a coarse scale equation; ii) global solve of the upscaled coarse scale equation; and iii) reconstruction of a fine scale solution by solving local block problems on a dual coarse grid. By its structure NU is similar to other methods for solving multiscale elliptic problems, such as the multiscale finite element method, the multiscale mixed finite element method, the numerical subgrid upscaling method, heterogeneous multiscale method, and the multiscale finite volume method. The difference with those methods is in the way the coarse scale equation is build and solved, and in the way the fine scale solution is reconstructed. Essential components of the presented here NU approach are the formal homogenization in the coarse blocks and the usage of so called multipoint flux approximation method, MPFA. Unlike the usual usage as MPFA as a discretiza- tion method for single scale elliptic problems with tensor discontinuous coefficients, we consider its usage as a part of a numerical upscaling approach. The main aim of this paper is to compare NU with the MsFEM. In particular, it is shown that the resonance effect, which limits the application of the Multiscale FEM, does not appear, or it is significantly relaxed, when the presented here numerical upscaling approach is applied.
In soil mechanics assumption of only vertical subsidence is often invoked and this leads to the one-dimensional model of poroelasticity. The classical model of linear poroelasticity is obtained by Biot [1], detailed derivation can be found e.g., in [2]. This model is applicable also to modelling certain processes in geomechanics, hydrogeology, petroleum engineering (see, e.g., [3, 8], in biomechanics (e.g., [9, 10]), in filtration (e.g., filter cake formation, see [15, 16, 17]), in paper manufacturing (e.g., [11, 12]), in printing (e.g., [13]), etc. Finite element and finite difference methods were applied by many authors for numerical solution of the Biot system of PDEs, see e.g. [3, 4, 5] and references therein. However, as it is wellknown, the standard FEM and FDM methods are subject to numerical instabilities at the first time steps. To avoid this, discretization on staggered grid was suggested in [4, 5]. A single layer deformable porous medium was considered there. This paper can be viewed as extension of [4, 5] to the case of multilayered deformable porous media. A finite volume discretization to the interface problem for the classical one-dimensional Biot model of consolidation process is applied here. Following assumptions are supposed to be valid: each of the porous layers is composed of incompressible solid matrix, it is homogeneous and isotropic. Furthermore, one of two following assumptions is valid: porous medium is not completely saturated and fluid is incompressible or porous medium is completely saturated and fluid is slightly compressible. The reminder of the paper is organised as follows. Next section presents the mathematical model. Third section is devoted to the dicsretization of the continuous problem. Fourth section contains the results from the numerical experiments.
This paper concerns numerical simulation of flow through oil filters. Oil filters consist of filter housing (filter box), and a porous filtering medium, which completely separates the inlet from the outlet. We discuss mathematical models, describing coupled flows in the pure liquid subregions and in the porous filter media, as well as interface conditions between them. Further, we reformulate the problem in fictitious regions method manner, and discuss peculiarities of the numerical algorithm in solving the coupled system. Next, we show numerical results, validating the model and the algorithm. Finally, we present results from simulation of 3-D oil flow through a real car filter.
In this paper we consider numerical algorithms for solving a system of nonlinear PDEs arising in modeling of liquid polymer injection. We investigate the particular case when a porous preform is located within the mould, so that the liquid polymer flows through a porous medium during the filling stage. The nonlinearity of the governing system of PDEs is due to the non-Newtonian behavior of the polymer, as well as due to the moving free boundary. The latter is related to the penetration front and a Stefan type problem is formulated to account for it. A finite-volume method is used to approximate the given differential problem. Results of numerical experiments are presented. We also solve an inverse problem and present algorithms for the determination of the absolute preform permeability coefficient in the case when the velocity of the penetration front is known from measurements. In both cases (direct and inverse problems) we emphasize on the specifics related to the non-Newtonian behavior of the polymer. For completeness, we discuss also the Newtonian case. Results of some experimental measurements are presented and discussed.
On Efficent Simulation of Non-Newtonian Flow in Saturated Porous Media with a Multigrid Adaptive Refinement Solver (2005)
Flow of non-Newtonian fluid in saturated porous media can be described by the continuity equation and the generalized Darcy law. Efficient solution of the resulting second order nonlinear elliptic equation is discussed here. The equation is discretized by a finite volume method on a cell-centered grid. Local adaptive refinement of the grid is introduced in order to reduce the number of unknowns. A special implementation approach is used, which allows us to perform unstructured local refinement in conjunction with the finite volume discretization. Two residual based error indicators are exploited in the adaptive refinement criterion. Second order accurate discretization of the fluxes on the interfaces between refined and non-refined subdomains, as well as on the boundaries with Dirichlet boundary condition, are presented here, as an essential part of the accurate and efficient algorithm. A nonlinear full approximation storage multigrid algorithm is developed especially for the above described composite (coarse plus locally refined) grid approach. In particular, second order approximation of the fluxes around interfaces is a result of a quadratic approximation of slave nodes in the multigrid - adaptive refinement (MG-AR) algorithm. Results from numerical solution of various academic and practice-induced problems are presented and the performance of the solver is discussed.

Empire Movie Quiz (UK - DVD R2)
Bah humbug! Scott McKenzie doesn't want this game in his Xmas stocking...
Stuck for a Christmas present for the film buff in your life? Well, why not pick up a copy of the Empire Movie Quiz so your friend or significant other can while away the festive hours making their family members look like imbeciles, while he or she dances around the living room knowing that they are indeed the supreme authority on everything movie-related? Endless racks of DVD interactive games are released every year around this time and this offering from Empire is expected to sell well, but is it any good or would you be better off spending your hard-earned cash on a pair of socks and a bag of chocolate coins?
The Empire Movie Quiz offers two game options: solo and team play. The ultimate goal in either mode is to accumulate five 'Empire Stars', with each star awarded when you score four points. So if you or your team get twenty points, you've won. In solo mode there are two difficulty options: 'Easy Rider' and 'Hard Boiled'. Each question is worth one point and you have three lives—get a question wrong and you lose a life. The questions come in various categories and you have the choice of four categories for each question.
In team mode you can compete in two, three or four teams across six rounds. In five rounds the teams take turns to answer two questions each and earn one point if you choose an 'Easy Rider' question and two points if you choose a 'Hard Boiled' question. In the other round everyone has ten seconds to shout out the answer and it's left to whichever honest soul has control over the remote to choose the team that got the answer right. As with the solo game, the first team to get five stars wins or if no one gets the maximum score, the team with the highest score wins.
I slipped the disc into the player and started off with the solo game. With Empire supposedly being the 'world's best movie magazine', I expected a large selection of questions and plenty of movie clips but I was disappointed with the lack of variety on offer. At first I assumed there weren't any movie clips on the disc because I didn't get any until the fourth game I played.
Given that there are one thousand questions picked by Empire staff, the same questions popped up quite often, even within the same game. There are also some irrelevant questions, like asking what ingredients go into a White Russian just because it's the Dude's favourite cocktail in The Big Lebowski. Then within the same game I got the question: 'In The Big Lebowski, what is the Dude's favourite cocktail?' In my opinion these questions should not have occurred together, which smacks of lazy programming of the software engine that drives the game. The non-film-related questions also give the feeling that the people who had to come up with the questions ran out of steam long before they hit their quota. The films clips that come round all too infrequently do not always provide any information needed to answer the subsequent question and the same clips are recycled for different questions.
The team game is a better experience than the solo game. My girlfriend Lizzie decided to take up the challenge of competing against me, and it was a bit of fun while it lasted. The team game for two people took about twenty minutes but by the end we weren't in the mood for another game. In order to get the software written, onto the DVD and out into the shops for Christmas, the game is overly simple and is neatly summed up by Lizzie's closing comment:
Scott: 'If this was a board game it would be really boring.'
Lizzie: 'If it was a DVD game it would be really boring, and it is.'
Most of the viewing experience has been crafted on a computer screen from scratch so there's no dirt, scratches or other artefacts you may expect from regular movie DVDs. The main complaint I have is that there's not enough film clips on show, which is probably because the budget only stretched so far, hence the recycling of the clips. In all honesty, I'd take edge enhancement, scratches and compression over perfect animation because it would mean I was watching something from a movie. The whole visual experience is like standing in front of a pub quiz machine, and even worse, you don't have the chance of winning any money.
The different screens are overlaid with music that sounds like it belongs in a movie and the music along with the sound effects change appropriately to match the chosen category of question. The music does stop when you are given the question itself though, which is a bit jarring but on the whole, there is no interference and as with the video quality of the movie clips, you get pretty much what you'd get from the stereo tracks on the DVD releases of those movies.
I wasn't expecting any extras but you get trailers for X-Men: The Last Stand, The Magic Roundabout, Transamerica, The Shawshank Redemption, Glengarry Glen Ross, Bugsy Malone, The African Queen and Brief Encounter. Incidentally, the clips that cropped up in the quiz while I was playing it were all taken from these films. You also get 25% off an Empire magazine subscription, which may make this worth picking up from the bargain bin in the January sales.
If I wanted a game for Christmas morning I would much rather rip open the wrapping paper to reveal an old school board game like Monopoly. The Empire Movie Quiz is a Christmas present for the movie buff who has everything, and by everything I mean every DVD currently on release. There's nothing here to entertain for any more than an hour or so and for the same money, you'd be better off buying the movie buff in your life something they'll definitely want: a movie.

Running back Danny Woodhead is the latest player to leave the New England Patriots after signing a two-year contract with the San Diego Chargers on Friday, according to NFL.com.
Also on Friday, according to NFL.com, the Patriots reached a four-year deal with cornerback Kyle Arrington, who started 12 games as a rookie last season. The Pats also signed receiver Donald Jones from the Buffalo Bills to a three-year deal.
Woodhead served as a third-down back for New England and last season had 76 carries for 301 yards and four touchdowns to go with plus 40 receptions for 446 yards and three touchdowns. Woodhead, 28, was signed by the Patriots in September 2010 after he was cut by the New York Jets.
On Thursday, the Patriots signed Leon Washington, who has a similar skill set to Woodhead. The Patriots also have running backs Stevan Ridley, Shane Vereen and Brandon Bolden, so Woodhead's role would have been diminished.
Last season, Jones had 43 catches for 443 yards and four touchdowns – all career highs – as one of Buffalo's secondary targets.

Charter funding: A small step forward
January 12. 2014 3:54PM
Incredibly, the average per-pupil cost to educate a child in a New Hampshire public school is about $13,700. For a 20-child class (which is the average class size in the state for grades 5-8), that comes to $274,000. That is for a regular public school. Charter schools manage to educate children for much less.
Charter schools are public schools that are allowed to operate with fewer regulations. They also operate with far less money. They receive about 40 percent of what traditional public schools receive. That could change if a bill given tentative approval by the House last week becomes law.
The bill would raise charter school per-pupil funding to 50 percent of the average per-pupil cost in New Hampshire. Some charter school operators say the extra money — about $1,000 per student — could make the difference between their closure or survival.
The Department of Education has estimated that the increase would cost the state $1.1 million. That makes it even more interesting that the bill sailed through the House last week. In the past, Democrats have resisted spending large sums on charter schools, arguing that the money should go to their teachers union allies in traditional public schools instead.
The fact that charter schools are reaching some kids who struggle in old-fashioned government schools seems to be sinking in.
The bill still has to get through the House Finance Committee, then the Senate, then past the governor. But this first test was encouraging. Maybe there is hope after all for children who are not served well by the industrial-style government school.

President Barack Obama has urged a joint session of the U.S. Congress to end what he calls the "political circus" in Washington, and move rapidly to approve job creation legislation he is sending to Capitol Hill.
The president designed his speech to substantially raise the stakes in his struggle with Republicans over how to address stubborn 9.1 percent unemployment, and continue to fix the nation's fiscal woes.
Urged by fellow Democrats to put forward the boldest possible proposals, he unveiled a legislative package estimated at $450 billion, including extended payroll tax cuts for workers and employers, and incentives for businesses to hire.
As a spending bill, what he is calling The American Jobs Act would be considered and voted on first by the Republican-controlled House of Representatives.
Mr. Obama says it would provide a jolt to a stalled economy.
"I am sending this Congress a plan that you should pass right away. It's called the American Jobs Act. There should be nothing controversial about this piece of legislation. Everything in here is the kind of proposal that's been supported by both Democrats and Republicans - including many who sit here tonight. And everything in this bill will be paid for. Everything," Mr. Obama said.
Mr. Obama's speech came after months of difficult political battles with Republicans over how to lower government deficits and the $14 trillion national debt.
A compromise this past July provided for $1 trillion in spending cuts linked to raising the national debt ceiling, but also led to a harmful downgrading of the government's credit rating.
Mr. Obama made a point of underscoring past bipartisan support for proposals in his jobs package. And he called on Democrats and Republicans to end the political warfare to put people back to work and the economy back on track.
"The people of this country work hard to meet their responsibilities. The question tonight is whether we'll meet ours. The question is whether, in the face of an ongoing national crisis, we can stop the political circus and actually do something to help the economy; whether we can restore some of the fairness and security that has defined this nation since our beginning," Mr. Obama said.
Key aspects include proposals to rebuild and modernize U.S. infrastructure and schools, financial aid to cash-poor state and local governments, job training to help the long-term unemployed, and steps to encourage hiring of military veterans.
Mr. Obama said the wealthiest Americans and large corporations should pay more through elimination of tax loopholes, and repeated his call for a balanced plan that would include "modest adjustments" in expensive government health care programs.
The president plans to send Congress a more ambitious plan in 10 days that will include the cost of his jobs proposal and steps to stabilize the U.S. debt in the long run.
And he is asking the bipartisan congressional committee created by the debt and deficit deal to find more than the $1.5 trillion in additional savings it is tasked with identifying.
In initial reaction, Republican House Speaker John Boehner said Mr. Obama's proposals "merit consideration" adding that he hopes the president gives serious consideration to Republican proposals. Other Republicans had harsher assessments.
Republican Senator Orrin Hatch voiced skepticism, but said he would wait for details of the plan.
"I'm going to give it a good look and hopefully support the president, but right now it looks to me like more of the same," Hatch said.
Statements from key Democratic leaders praised the president, saying he had laid out reasonable proposals to tackle unemployment that will be paid for as part of broader debt and deficit reduction efforts.
In his address, Mr. Obama said while some lawmakers might feel differences can be resolved only through the ballot box, Americans "living paycheck to paycheck" need a Congress that will act now.
"Know this: the next election is fourteen months away. And the people who sent us here - the people who hired us to work for them - they don't have the luxury of waiting fourteen months," the president said.
The president said he will be traveling in coming weeks to urge public support for his jobs proposal, and to urge Americans to tell Congress that "doing nothing is not an option."

pintuck bodice sundress
Added May 14, 2013
Louisville, Kent...
Here is my entry for the second round of Project Sewn, a sewing competition for women's clothes. The theme for this week was sundress. I decided to make a simple silhouette with a pintucked detail on the center bodice.
To make it, I started with the bodice lining pieces of Simplicity 2250, a Cynthia Rowley dress pattern I already had, because it had the seams and subtle sweetheart shape I was looking for. I first made the pintucks on a large rectangle of fabric, and then cut the middle bodice piece from that. I modified the whole thing so it zips up the side instead of in the center back. The skirt portion is the Colette Beignet skirt pattern, altered to eliminate the button-up front and shorten it from knee-length.
See more detail on my blog and vote for me on Project Sewn if you wish! Thanks for reading.
Material Notes
Floral vintage cotton. Fully lined with self-fabric for the bodice and bemberg rayon for the skirt.

The Beckham Boys @ Bluebell's Christening
Victoria Beckham supports fellow former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell at the christening of her daughter, Bluebell Madonna, 10 months, at St. Michael's Church in London on Sunday.
The Beckham boys look like rock stars already in their Wimbledon blazers by Ralph Lauren and tan shoes — 7-year-old Brooklyn wore a cool pair of shades and 4-year-old Romeo rocked out his new short do. Lil' Romeo & Badass Brooklyn!
Honorary mommy Vix changed her look too, redying her locks blonde and blonder.
"Victoria was thrilled to be asked to be godmother," a source close to Vix told The Sun. "Although they fell out when Geri walked out on the Spice Girls years ago, they became really close friends again. Geri's relied on her old friend for advice on motherhood and is delighted Victoria is flying over."
25+ pictures inside of Victoria, Brooklyn, and Romeo at Bluebell Madonna's christening inside…
