Last week, I took part in the SenseStage workshop at the Hexagram BlackBox in Montreal. http://sensestage.hexagram.ca/workshop/introduction/. It was a workshop designed to bring together people from different disciplines (dance, theatre, sound, video, light) and cooperate in a collaborative environment with interactive technologies.
During the workshop, there were tons of sensors – light, floor pressure, accelerometers, humidity etc. – all connected to little microcontrollers which in turn were all wirelessly connected to a central computer that gathered all the data and sent it forward as OSC to any client conected to the network.
Basically, we had 5 days to complete an interactive performance sequence using the data gathered by the sensor nodes. This is what our group came up with.
We call it Treasure Islands and it's a bit twisted interactive performance/game where a girl finds herself in a weird world where she is floating on a donut in the middle of the ocean with a mermaid talking in her head. She has to travel to all of the different Islands around her, and collect sounds from them in order to open a portal into this strange dream world for all her friends. Sounds like a good concept, doesn't it? Check out the video and you'll see that it actually makes sense.
There was a lot of sensor data available, but we ended up using just the pressure sensors on the floor and camera tracking. With a bit more time we could have evolved the world to be more responsive to the real world, but I'm pretty happy with the results we were able to achieve in such a short time. Our group worked really well together, which is not always the case in such collaborative projects.
Sarah Albu – narrative, graphics, performance
Matt Waddell – sound, programming
Me – animation, programming
And I guess I need to include some more technical details for all the people who check my site for that kind of stuff (I know you're out there).
We used camera tracking with tbeta to track Sarah and used that data to move the doughnut and to make the environment responsive to her movements. All of the real-time animation was done in Animata, which really is a perfect tool for something like this, because it allows me to animate things really fast without compromising in quality. Max was used as the middle man to convert the TUIO messages and the OSC from the sensor network into the kind of messages Animata needs to hear.
We sewed some IR LEDs on the hat to help with tracking in a dark space.
Each island is an instrument that you can play with. Stepping on a certain area would trigger loops, add effects to your voice etc. Matt could explain the sound part better than me, but the video should make it pretty clear. it doesn't reproduce the effect of the quadraphonic sound system we used though. Some visual clues were also triggered in the animation based on her movements on the sensors.
That's pretty much it. If you have any questions, leave a comment and I'll try to get back to you as soon as possible.

Joseph E. Welsh, a retired Baltimore County public school educator who was also a hospice volunteer and Eucharistic minister, died Monday of melanoma at Gilchrist Hospice Care in Towson.
The Oak Crest Village resident was 80.
"He was both my teacher and class adviser, and as a teacher, I loved him. He made a big impact on all of our lives," said Laurie J. Bender, who graduated in 1991 from Parkville High School. "He was one of those teachers who helped you learn in a nonthreatening and humorous manner. Some teachers kept you on edge, but not Joe."
The son of a boxing manager and a homemaker, Joseph Eugene Welsh was born and raised in Baltimore, where he attended St. Elizabeth of Hungary parochial school near Patterson Park.
He graduated in 1951 from Calvert Hall College High School and entered the Christian Brothers. After graduating in 1955 from LaSalle University in Philadelphia, where he earned his bachelor's degree, he embarked on his teaching career.
He held parochial school teaching assignments in Cumberland; Philadelphia; Arlington, Va.; Canton, Ohio; Miami; and at his high school alma mater.
Mr. Welsh also earned a master's degree in theology, and a master's in U.S. history and political science at Villanova University.
He did additional graduate work at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Hartwick College, Vanderbilt University and Western Maryland College, now McDaniel College.
In 1968, Mr. Welsh left the Christian Brothers and began teaching in the city's Fairmount Hill Junior-Senior High School.
Later that year, Mr. Welsh joined the faculty of Woodlawn High School, where he taught social studies and psychology for 18 years.
In 1986, he began teaching at Parkville High, from which he retired in 1991.
"He always had a smile and put everyone in a good mood," said Ms. Bender, who was a member of Mr. Welsh's social studies class. "He was well-liked by all the students because he was warm and loving. No one disliked him. That would simply be unimaginable."
Ms. Bender recalled when her class held its five-year reunion, Mr. Welsh attended the gathering.
"He brought medals for all of the class officers. It was so sweet," said Ms. Bender, who lives in Carney. "We kept in touch over the years through cards and letters and sometimes we'd go to T.G.I. Friday's."
Ms. Bender said that she reconnected with Phylis Welsh, Mr. Welsh's wife, in 2011 after the couple moved to the Parkville retirement community where she is a senior sales consultant.
As a teaching aide, Mr. Welsh used slides he had taken of historic sites from all over the nation.
"He loved history and he wanted his students to have a sense of history. He had amassed more than 5,000 slides," said the former Phylis Kramer, his wife of 44 years. "That way he kept their attention."
Mrs. Welsh said her husband also had a vast repertoire of jokes that could be used for any occasion.
"He once said to a student, 'If you can't stand for something, then sit,'" she said.
After retiring from county public schools, he continued to substitute-teach at City College.
Mr. Welsh and his wife were marriage facilitators, serving for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Baltimore, in Florida when they lived there briefly, and later when they moved to Loganville, Pa., after having been longtime Cockeysville residents.
For the past decade, Mr. Welsh was a volunteer and a pastoral and Eucharistic minister at Stella Maris Hospice in Timonium, where his wife joined him in his work.
Maryanne Yannarell, director of volunteer services at Stella Maris, said prospective hospice volunteers have to fill out a form.
"One of the questions is, 'Why do you want to become a hospice volunteer?'" she said. "In his handwriting, Joe had written, 'Because as long as Christ did it to the least of my brothers, you did it unto me. I want to stay close to Christ.'"
She added: "That's what our volunteers are all about, and Joe was one of our best."
Ms. Yannarell said that the couple came every Tuesday night to work in the in-patient unit and in pastoral care.
"Joe loved to tell stories and he loved a good joke. He was an extrovert but in a quiet sort of way. He was not overbearing," she said.
Sister Kathy Dauses, a member of the Sisters of St. Francis, is the chaplain in the hospice inpatient unit.
"To be able to give comfort to patients and their families is a gift," said Sister Kathy. "Joe had a deep faith and he was able to share with those who were overwhelmed with the reality of the death of their loved ones."
Sister Kathy said that even after the couple moved to Loganville, they continued their Tuesday night shift.
"They had a faithfulness to hospice and would come on Tuesday evenings at 6:30," she said. "They had the special gift of time, faith and humor. Joe could always see the positive in things."
After moving to Oak Crest, Mr. Welsh continued his work as a pastoral visitor and Eucharistic minister in the retirement community's health center.
Mr. Welsh was a basketball fan and especially enjoyed March Madness, family members said. He also enjoyed softball and reading.
He was a communicant of the Nativity of Our Lord Jesus Christ Roman Catholiic Church in Timonium.
Mr. Welsh donated his body to the State Anatomy Board, family members said.
A memorial Mass will be offered at 11 a.m. Monday in the chapel at Oak Crest Village, 880 Walther Blvd., Parkville.
In addition to his wife, Mr. Welsh is survived by a son, Patrick Joseph Welsh of Canton; a daughter, Lisa Welsh Dannenfelser of Cockeysville; and two grandchildren.

Get Their Hands Dirty
Fund: Blumberg Capital
Posted by BayAreaStartup on 2011-10-09
My company took funding from Blumberg Capital, and it has been an tremendously positive experience so far. I thought I'd group my feedback in terms of my impression of Blumberg Capital during the pitch and term sheet process, and then the feedback on what it is like to work with them as one of their portfolio companies.
Pitch process and Term sheet:
We ended up going with Blumberg Capital in large part due to the way the conducted themselves during our pitch process. More so than other VCs with whom we met, our entire team felt that the Blumberg team really wanted to get to know us on a very personal level. This included multiple trips to our office with their entire team, and a desire to get to know everyone on the team (not just management). This made the process seem much less transactional and much more like a true partnership and relationship.
Some of these meetings seemed much more like collaborative brainstorming exercises than evaluative pitches. I liked this because it allowed me to gauge what they would be like to work with, how they were thinking about our business long-term, and how receptive to our ideas and passion they would be.
In terms of the term sheet, I found them to be extremely reasonable. They were completely transparent in what their motivation was, what their terms of highest priority were, and how much flexibility they had. I also found that they were very open to creative ideas in how to meet both of our needs and develop alternative structures that might be more mutually beneficial. This also enforced our decision to go with Blumberg, since we did not want to start an investor relationship that was steeped in tension or feelings of being cheated / competitive.
Post-funding Working Relationship:
Again this has been very positive. I see Blumberg Capital's greatest strengths to be:
(1) Hands on (in a good way): there are hundreds of ways in which the Blumberg team has helped us out. This has included:
* attending a conference with us to help pound the pavement and get sales leads
* spending hours (literally) looking through their list of contacts and facilitating intros for purposes of sales and feedback
* sitting in on a sales pitch to help convince an ad agency, as well as provide direct feedback on how we can improve our slaes pitch (this was at my request)
* reviewing contracts and partnership agreements to provide feedback on how to strengthen our position
* joining for brainstorming sessions (multiple times) to add another perspective and collaborate on different company issues
The amount of time and effort they are willing to spend on this is truly amazing, and VERY a-typical for an investor. I definitely feel that I get cooperation, help, and assistance in a way that I would not expect for this level of investor (very similar to an angel investor in some ways in this respect)
(2) Network - David is especially a strong networker and constant company ally. He is constantly referring people, friends, and acquaintances to our company, and I can tell that we are constantly on his mind and he is looking for other people who an assist in what we're doing.
Overall, they've been a pleasure to deal with and very entrepreneur friendly.PRIVATE: Members Only

NFL looking into possible improper questions at combine
NEW YORK (AP) -- The NFL says it will look into whether questions asked of Colorado tight end Nick Kasa at the combine violated any laws or league policies banning employers from inquiring about a possible employee's sexual orientation.
Kasa told ESPN Radio in Denver that during interviews with team officials at the combine in Indianapolis: "(Teams) ask you, like, `Do you have a girlfriend?' `Are you married?' `Do you like girls?"'
He did not identify who asked him such questions.
On Wednesday, Kasa said on the "Dan Patrick Show" he didn't think it "was really a serious question."
The NFL says it will look into Kasa's comments and that "any team or employee that inquires about impermissible subjects or makes an employment decision based on such factors is subject to league discipline."
DeMaurice Smith, the head of the NFL players association, said in a statement: "I know that the NFL agrees that these types of questions violate the law, our CBA and player rights. I hope that they will seek out information as to what teams have engaged in this type of discrimination and we should then discuss appropriate discipline."

Petaloptyon daneiAn unusual goblet-like sponge on a stalk
Calcarea (Order: Heteractinida)
Petaloptyon is considered a calcareous sponge belonging to the Family Eiffeiliidae (Rigby and Collins, 2004). Calcarea sponges are the only sponges with calcium carbonate (calcite or aragonite) spicules. They are thought to be an early branch within the phylum Porifera and are mainly found in the tropics today.
Species name:
Petaloptyon danei
Described by:
Description date:
Petaloptyon – from the Greek, petalon, meaning "leaf," and ptyon, meaning "fan." This name refers to the broad open petal-like shape of this sponge.
danei – from the Greek dan, "torch." This name may refer to the torch-like shape of this sponge.
Type Specimens:
Holotype – MCZ 101624, in the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard University Cambridge, USA.
Other species:
Burgess Shale and vicinity: none.
Other deposits: none.
Middle Cambrian, Bathyuriscus-Elrathina Zone (approximately 505 million years ago).
Principal localities:
The Trilobite Beds and the Tulip Beds (S7) locality on Mount Stephen. The Walcott Quarry on Fossil Ridge.
Brief history of research:
Raymond (1931) named Petaloptyon danei based on a couple of specimens collected during his visits to the Trilobite Beds with Harvard students. At the time, Raymond classified this new animal as an octocoral (soft coral). In 1986, Rigby described a new sponge Canistrumella alternata, but it was later discovered that this was essentially the same form that Raymond had described in 1931 (Rigby and Collins, 2004) and Canistrumella was made a junior synonym of Petaloptyon.
Petaloptyon has a very distinct and unusual globlet-like shape. It has an open conical to basket-like skeleton that is composed of alternating triangular shaped panels (up to 12) that may or may not have circular to elliptical gaps within them. The walls of this sponge are very thin and composed of spicules with five rays. At the top, the oscular margin has a scalloped appearance. At the base of the sponge there is a stalk and an attachment structure.
Petaloptyon is a very rare sponge with only a handful of specimens known.
Maximum size:
75 mm
Life habits:
Epibenthic, sessile
Feeding strategies:
Suspension feeder
Ecological Interpretations:
Petalopyton would have lived attached to the sea floor. Food particles were extracted from the water as it passed through canals in the sponge's wall.

And this leads into why I have $1,000 dollars in parts on order for a bike that could, at best, fetch $2,000. It is my most illogical investment. But it would break my heart to part with it. So when my trusted mechanic called with the sad news that the splines on both the final drive and drive shaft where shot, and while we're at it, we ought to replace the alternator. I glanced briefly at the savings account, took a deep breath, and said "let's do this thing". 100,000 miles, the bike owed me nothing, but carries everything. It's only money. In a few years I'll never remember where those dollars went. But I'd be terribly lost if I failed to invest in my 68 hp memory album. I want to put more memories, more sMiles on the K.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
The Online Charge Status System is available for charges filed on or after September 2, 2015. For charges filed before that date, you can
find out the specific status of your charge by calling the EEOC field office where your charge is filed. If you have your charge number, you can also get
more general information about your status by calling EEOC toll-free at 1-800-669-4000 (TTY: 1-800-669-6820 or ASL Video Phone 1-844-234-5122).
If new events take place after you file your charge that you believe are discriminatory, we can add these new events to your charge and investigate them. This is called "amending" a charge. In some cases, we may decide it is better for you to file a new charge of discrimination. If new events are added to your charge or a new charge is filed, we will send a copy of the new or amended charge to the employer and investigate the new events along with the rest. Keep in mind that the strict deadlines for filing a charge also apply when you want to amend a charge. The fact that you filed an earlier charge may not extend the deadline. For this reason, you should contact your investigator immediately if you think other discriminatory events have taken place.
It is important that we know how to contact you while we are investigating your charge. You can update your contact information by calling the EEOC field office where your charge is filed. Or you can EEOC toll-free at 1-800-669-4000 (TTY: 1-800-669-6820), and we will send your contact information to the appropriate office.
You may request a Notice of Right To Sue by contacting the EEOC office handling your charge. You should submit the request in writing.
If you filed your charge under Title VII (discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex and national origin), or under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) based on disability, you must have a Notice of Right To Sue from EEOC before you can file a lawsuit in federal court. Generally, you must allow EEOC 180 days to resolve your charge. Although, in some cases, EEOC may agree to issue a Notice of Right To Sue before the 180 days.
If you filed your charge under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (discrimination based on age 40 and above), you do not need a Notice of Right to Sue from EEOC. You may file a lawsuit in federal court 60 days after your charge was filed with EEOC.
If you filed your charge under the Equal Pay Act (wage discrimination based on sex), you do not need a Notice of Right To Sue from EEOC. You may file a lawsuit in federal court within two years from the day you received the last discriminatory paycheck.

Leading in the Savior's way allows us to help Primary children and leaders grow in their testimonies of Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, and the restored gospel. In doing so, they will feel Heavenly Father's love for them, learn and understand the gospel of Jesus Christ, feel and recognize the influence of the Holy Ghost, and prepare to make and keep sacred covenants.
- Handbook 2, 3.1
- "Living What You Teach," Teaching, No Greater Call
Leaders can best teach others how to be "true followers" by their personal example. This pattern—being a faithful disciple in order to help others become faithful disciples—is the purpose behind every calling in the Church.
Prepare Spiritually
You have been called of God by revelation, and you are entitled to personal revelation in ministering to individual children and performing duties associated with your calling. Follow the example of Jesus Christ as you consider your own spiritual preparation. Before He began His ministry, the Savior retreated to the wilderness to fast and to pray (see Matthew 4). As a Primary leader, you should pray and ask Heavenly Father for strength and direction, and He will bless you.
- Handbook 2, 3.2.1
- "Seeking the Spirit," Teaching, No Greater Call
Leaders prepare themselves spiritually as they keep the commandments, study the scriptures and the teachings of latter-day prophets, pray, fast, and humble themselves before the Lord. With this preparation, they are able to receive inspiration to guide them in their personal lives, their family responsibilities, and their callings.
Participate in Councils
"This is the miracle of Church councils: listening to each other and listening to the Spirit! When we support one another in Church councils, we begin to understand how God can take ordinary men and women and make of them extraordinary leaders. The best leaders are not those who work themselves to death trying to do everything single-handedly; the best leaders are those who follow God's plan and counsel with their councils" (M. Russell Ballard, "Counseling with Our Councils," Ensign, May 1994, 26).
- Handbook 2, 3.2.2
- "Obtaining Support from Your Leaders," Teaching, No Greater Call
Minister to Primary Children and Leaders
When Jesus Christ visited the Nephites in the Americas, He ministered to the children "one by one" and "blessed them, and prayed unto the Father for them." Just as Jesus Christ ministered among the children then, Primary leaders and teachers have the sacred responsibility to minister to God's children individually today.
- Handbook 2, 3.2.3
- "Love Softens Hearts," Teaching, No Greater Call
The purpose of ministering is to help others become true followers of Jesus Christ. Ministering to others includes:
- Remembering their names and becoming acquainted with them (see Moroni 6:4).
- Loving them without judging them (see John 13:34–35).
- Watching over them and strengthening their faith "one by one," as the Savior did (3 Nephi 11:15; 17:21).
- Establishing sincere friendship with them and visiting them in their homes and elsewhere (see D&C 20:47).
Teach the Gospel to Primary Children
"It is a sacred responsibility to teach children the gospel of Jesus Christ and help them learn to live it" (Teaching, No Greater Call, 108). In Primary, children are taught the gospel through lessons, sharing time, and music.
- Handbook 2, 3.2.4
- "The Teacher's Divine Commission," Teaching, No Greater Call
- "Teaching from the Scriptures," Teaching, No Greater Call
Leaders' most powerful teaching comes from their personal example. Leaders also teach by sharing their testimonies and conducting doctrinally based discussions in leadership meetings, classes, and activities. They teach from the scriptures and the words of latter-day prophets. They know that "the preaching of the word … [has] more powerful effect … than the sword, or anything else" (Alma 31:5).
In addition to teaching the gospel themselves, priesthood and auxiliary leaders are responsible for the quality of learning and teaching in their organizations. They ensure that teaching in their classes is meaningful, edifying, and doctrinally sound.
For additional guidance on teaching the gospel and overseeing efforts to improve learning and teaching, see Handbook 2, 5.5.
Administering the Primary Program
As you give your best effort, use the Primary program the Church has organized. This includes using the Primary manuals and the Outline for Sharing Time, overseeing the Faith in God and Scouting programs, helping plan and organize the children's sacrament meeting presentation and priesthood preview, overseeing and participating in Sunday instruction, and training Primary teachers and leaders.

Right now our boxspring and mattress are sitting on a steel rail. We are planning to get a wooden frame . I should go hunt for the italian model wood frames you've mentioned.

A friend of mine is using both homeopathy (to treat a "balance" problem) and acupuncture (to lose weight). Her homeopath is also a qualified allopathic doctor, in fact an ENT specialist...which automatically made me think what an absolute quack he was
She tells me it works, in fact swears by both methods... she certainly has lost a lot of weight, but then again everytime she sees the acu-dude she has to fast
(Her balance problem is an ENT problem, which makes me wonder why the doctor can't use allopathic methods instead of prescribing little pills of etremely diluted poisons? )

Recipes You Need to Cook This Week July 29 - August 4
As we say goodbye to July and hello to August, we find ourselves in one of the most bountiful times for summer produce. Farmers markets are overflowing with stone fruits, such as peaches, plums, and (our favorite) cherries. We start asking questions like "What are heirloom tomatoes and why are they so good?" And corn and is finally beginning to become available.
We have thoughtfully curated five recipes that are ideal for cooking right now and will make sure you are eating what's currently the most in season. These dishes are all good enough to be enjoyed on their own, but if you are feeling ambitious, they make for an incredible feast when served together for the ultimate summer dinner party.Watermelon and Goat Cheese SaladThis seasonal salad couldn't be easier to prepare and serves a beautiful hors d'oeuvre or even as a full meal when paired with one of our favorite grilled fish or shellfish recipes. Deliciously pairing sweet and crunchy watermelon with savory and creamy goat cheese delivers a light and refreshing dish that's ideal for warmer weather. This recipe calls for pea tendrils, which can sometimes be found at your local farmers market, but if you can't don't worry, this salad is so versatile that any fresh herbs or micro greens will taste great.Grilled Pizza With Corn, Prosciutto, and Tarragon Fresh corn is one of summer's greatest gifts, and we love cooking and eating it any and every way imaginable. When used as a pizza topping, this sweet and crisp vegetable melds wonderfully with salty prosciutto and creamy mozzarella. This recipe can be made in an oven; however, since its grilling season, we encourage the use of a grill, which adds a nice smoky flavor. Making your own dough can seem intimidating, so there's no shame in picking up some that's already prepared from the grocery store or even your best local pizza shop. Linguine With ClamsThere's something about this classic pairing that just screams summer. Clams add an oceanic dimension to the pasta, while garlic and chili flakes balance out the dish. This dish's beauty is in its simplicity, and with only seven ingredients, this pasta recipe is like something grandma used to make (or so we like to imagine). It's perfect for any type of occasion, whether it's an alfresco date night or just a weeknight dinner with the family. Take one bite and you'll be transported to the southern coast of Italy.Honey Soy Grilled Skirt SteakA variation of teriyaki steak, this dish is one of our go-to summer recipes to toss on the barbie when having company over for dinner. Skirt steak has traditionally been a cheaper cut of meat, but since it has incredible flavor and texture, it's a wallet-friendly option for hosting. The steak only needs to marinate for an hour, which allows time to prep your grill and make some side dishes that will wow your guests. That way, when it's time to cook, dinner is pretty much done, and you just have to focus on grilling the perfect steak.Cherry and Cream Ice PopsWe are currently in the heart of cherry season, and what better way to enjoy them than in a refreshing popsicle. Although this recipe calls for frozen cherries, we love to substitute fresh ones whenever possible. Depending on whether you prefer sweet or tart flavors - or a combination of both (our favorite) - any variety of cherries will work just perfectly for this frozen treat. Oh, and did we mention that there's no added sugar in these? All the sweetness comes naturally from real fruit juice, cherries, and just a hint of honey, so you don't have to feel guilty eating two. For other sweets perfect for warm weather, check out these 10 no-bake desserts for summer parties.

More about me
Vivek Mehra
I am currently the MD & CEO of SAGE Publications India. But I wear many hats that make me the person I am. Between the (public) professional life and the very deep and private recesses of my brain lies a universe of thoughts, actions and beliefs. These have been shaped by events, people and perhaps Karma. It's this universe I seek to put in words. When everything else failed me professionally, it was the power of my words that not just resurrected a career but brought back life to life. It is with these words that I continue to make a difference with those whose karma connects mine. Sometimes it's direct and most times it's not. But the essence of who I am never changes and I remain a person searching for himself. Update: In 2014 I published my first book on Kindle. It was written in 1999 and it never saw the light of day.

The energy inside Research In Motion (RIM) is at an all-time high. We are weeks away from the biggest product launch in BlackBerry history. To capture some of the excitement, I took a moment to connect with a few of our senior executives who have been leading teams directly involved in the making of BlackBerry 10.
[ YouTube link for mobile viewing ]
Each week leading up to the launch of BlackBerry 10, I will be releasing a fresh video interview clip with this group of execs. Special thanks to: Scott Totzke, Senior VP of the BlackBerry Security Group, Pete Devenyi, Senior VP of Enterprise Software and Mike Maloney, VP of Customer Support Operations – America's, for participating in this "behind the scenes" leadership video series for our Inside BlackBerry For Business blog readers!
This week's video clip gives an inside look into the teams who have been working hard behind the scenes on the launch of BlackBerry 10 and BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10. Whether from an enterprise software, security or customer support perspective – each piece of BlackBerry 10 has been architected with our customers in mind.
Our global employees have been working tirelessly to perfect the customer experience. According to Pete Devenyi, his team has "been working around the clock to get BlackBerry 10 and BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 out the door." Similarly, Scott Totzke's team has been fine tuning the embedded security features – a core BlackBerry differentiator. "We've been looking at BlackBerry 10 as a new paradigm in mobile computing…we've now taken an opportunity to re-invent the platform and make security a strategic enabler – not just for BlackBerry, but our customers."
Tune in to this week's video to hear how these leaders have been leading their team's on this incredible road to executing BlackBerry 10.

Model S Price Decrease
Model S Price Decrease
It seems highly unlikely that they will reduce the price in the near term. I would expect that the Model S won't get cheaper, just like the Roadster didn't while it was being produced, until it is discontinued. You may get other models that are cheaper, particularly the GenIII, but it will be a different car.
The price will never come down. That is not typical car manufacture behavior. Usually more options are added as standard and the price goes up. With any luck the battery prices will drop and Tesla can add more standard options for the same price.
Don't see prices going down on the base model. If the small pack meets your needs, it is a very good value in the marketplace. Look at the comps. Larger packs may increase in capacity or reduce in cost adder. Like others noted they will probably add features but, if anything, the base cost will go up.
I also agree that Tesla is much more likely to add features than drop prices as battery prices go down.
Would you consider a better car for the same price a price decrease? Then there is some possibility.
Don't forget that prices are not set in a vacuum. If overall inflation is going up, then it would be hard for Tesla not to raise prices.
Ideally, we could get Moore's Law to apply to cars. But they'd get microscopic in a hurry! );(
He's probably talking about performance plus upgrades that he has on his car.
Definitely getting that once it's available.
Probably the price will not come down. However, like any other product, there is a balance between selling price and inventory. If they develop an inventory, their need for cash flow will make them dicker on the price a little. But don't expect that to happen this year. There is still a lot of pentup demand. I would watch for the first TV commercials and then start asking.
"Variants" like the cabriolet and van were predicted in 2010.
It'll depend a lot on whether Tesla gets any competition. If no one challenges their performance/price point, Tesla will be laughing all the way to the bank. I haven't heard any rumors of a direct competitor entering the market?
Like Brian said...the small version is likely next. I saw the prototype somewhere on line with Blankenship.
I'd look at the historical strategy behind pricing and product cycles for Apple and I believe you'll see the way they price going forward.
Hero product pricing stays pretty level, performance, features are upgraded substantially. (I'll bet we have a 450-500 mile car available at the $100K level in 2014.
Newer products are introduced at lower price levels, but will always be a tier or two below the top end product.
What surprises me is that they offer a 40KWH option on the Model S - too low a capacity for too nice a car. I believe on my 85KW with the 300-mile range is more realistically (for me and the way I drive) a 200 mile vehicle. I had originally ordered the 40KWH, but I wouldn't be surprised if many people only get 100 on that version.
I think there is a hell of a market for a 100 - 125 mile car - but not at this finish level and price point.
No, what I think EM meant by "exciting new variants of the S this year" is different bodies on the S skateboard. The new small skateboard not announced till late 2014 at the earlies, delivered around end 2015 at the earliest. That must be preceded by a whole lotta shakin' at the factory.

The Tarot of the Elves High Priestess
The High Priestess from the Tarot of the Elves is probably one of the most controversial images in tarot. Many people were appalled and had a very strong negative reaction to this card. However, people don't have a problem associating The High Priestess with the Greek goddess Persephone. She was kidnapped by Hades, the god of Death, and taken to the underworld to live–kidnapped, taken from her family and a life she loved to live underground. She was, in a sense, dead. Without the experience of her death, the joy and power of her consequent rebirth could not have been. Many initiatory experiences recreate a symbolic death. We find them in most mystery religions, many modern pagan and shamanic traditions, and even in the Protestant full immersion baptism. Study, a function of The Hierophant, comes first, followed by experience or the initiation. There are things, truths of the universe, which cannot be learned by study; they must be experienced and death symbolizes a strong transformational experience. And despite the calm, peaceful demeanor of most High Priestesses, I cannot imagine that such a death is easy or clean. For this reason, the pain and the immediacy of this card draws me in, even as it does, as it is meant to, repels. It speaks of the experience that comes before the calm and the knowing.

"No ordinary policeman": This is how director Claude Sautet's intriguing 1971 drama "Max and the Junkmen" describes the Max of the title, a Paris officer of the law whose black fedora matches his black tie and black suit, which all match his tensely fatalistic outlook.
The character, and the film, arrived the same year as "Dirty Harry" and "The French Connection." But rumors of any stylistic or thematic resemblance are exaggerated. As played by Michel Piccoli — one of the great brooders and minimalists of his time — this policeman explodes outward only once. Thereby hangs the tale.
Sautet's film, a rare bird only now making its U.S. theatrical premiere, has been made available in a fine new 35 millimeter print courtesy of Rialto Pictures, and it's enjoying a weeklong run at the Siskel Film Center starting Friday. Its rhythm and melancholic personality take some adjustment. But the film, based on a novel adapted by Sautet, Jean-Loup Dabadie and the book's author Claude Neron, rewards your patience.
Piccoli's cop has been thwarted once too often by bank robbers he's trying to nab. He feels "useless" and "stupid" and confesses as much in ways you'd never hear from a trigger-happy American movie cop of the same era. An ex-judge, Max has a chance meeting with an old army buddy Abel, one of the scrap-metal dealers and low-level criminals of the title (played by Bernard Fresson). Like a dour puppeteer, the cop manipulates Abel from a distance, getting to know his prostitute lover, dropping 10-ton hints about the money coming and going through his branch bank office (the cop pretends to be a banker). If only Max can make the bank job happen, he'll redeem his name and make the arrests so long denied him.
Latest Movies
Does it go well? We know from the prologue that it does not, and if that doesn't clue us in, the nervous waltz theme provided by composer Philippe Sarde suggests the same unhappy outcome. "Max and the Junkmen" isn't really a crime thriller, though. The heart of it belongs to the scenes between Piccoli and Romy Schneider, a soulful life force as the German hooker in league with the junkmen. Lily's well-compensated but oddly non-sexual sessions with her taciturn banker john, impersonated by Max, lead to a bond, and then something like love between the cop and the streetwalker.
More recently Sautet is known to mainstream art house audiences in America for such cool, sleek diversions as "Un Coeur en Hiver" ("A Heart in Winter") "Max and the Junkmen" is rougher around the edges, and a time capsule, satisfyingly so. You know it's a French procedural because everyone's perpetually making time for conversational detours ("Another coffee?") Piccoli and Schneider have the sort of faces, though, you'd follow anywhere, through any small talk, in any movie.
'Max and the Junkmen'
Running time: 1:52; in French with English subtitles
Opens: Friday (through Jan. 17) at the Siskel Film Center.

In two actions released last week, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") signaled its new focus on credit rating agencies and foretold the seriousness with which it will approach the expanded regulatory authority granted to the SEC by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 ("Dodd-Frank Act"). On August 31, 2010, the SEC released a Section 21(a) report on its investigation of Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("MIS"), the credit rating segment of Moody's Corp. (the "21(a) Report"), and on September 2, 2010, instituted administrative proceedings against another credit rating agency, LACE Financial Corp. ("LACE") and its founder. The 21(a) Report outlines MIS's failure to downgrade the credit ratings of foreign debt offerings after MIS discovered that the original credit ratings had been assigned in error. While the SEC decided not to bring an enforcement action against MIS for stated jurisdictional reasons, the 21(a) Report indicates that credit rating agencies – or nationally recognized statistical rating organizations ("NRSROs") – will receive greater enforcement attention by the SEC in the future. The enforcement action against LACE found that the company made misrepresentations in its application to become an NRSRO and violated SEC rules governing the conduct of NRSROs. Together with the increase in SEC regulatory authority over NRSROs and expanded liability of NRSROs contained in the Dodd-Frank Act, the SEC's actions augur more SEC enforcement actions, and likely private lawsuits as well, against NRSROs.

You know you're having a bad birthday week when the highlight is a half-naked Terry Bradshaw jumping out of your cake.
Jay Leno turned 60 Wednesday, back at the only job he ever wanted, as host of "The Tonight Show," and once again king of the late-night ratings, even if his average audience member is old enough to remember when Bradshaw was king of the quarterbacks.
But for Leno, the birthday week proved anything but triumphant: Conan O'Brien, David Letterman and even President Obama hurled barbs at him. Leno also stumbled a bit at his greatest strength – standup comedy – mounting a lackluster performance at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner, earning him a tepid reception.
"This is a tough room," he said toward the end of the 20-minute Saturday night appearance.
It was a tough week for Leno, whose nice-guy image took a big hit during the "Tonight Show" tug-of-war that ended with him wrestling away the job from the critical favorite for the second time in two decades. But with Leno, criticism from the media and his peers doesn't seem to have much impact – he's become the Teflon Comic.
O'Brien, finally free to speak out about the struggle that bounced him from NBC's "The Tonight Show," headed to CBS' "60 Minutes" to air his grievances Sunday, and all but said he doesn't know how Leno lives with himself.
"If I had surrendered 'The Tonight Show' and handed it over to somebody publicly and wished them well — and then…six months later. But that's me, you know. Everyone's got their own, you know, way of doing things," he said, later adding, "I sleep well at night."
Letterman, meanwhile, basically went a weeklong offensive against Leno, his one-time friend from their 1970s standup days, taking aim at Leno's recent comments that he and O'Brien both got "screwed."
"Now wait a minute, Jay," Letterman said last Monday as he interviewed Dr. Phil McGraw, after trotting out a squeaky-voiced Leno imitation. "You both got screwed, yet you're the only one who ended up with a show. How did you get screwed exactly?"
"Everybody loved Jay because he's so funny, he's so engaging, so compelling, you can't not love him," Letterman added. "But then there's also this other side of him, and I think he'd own up to it, that he's just a complete boob. He can't help himself."
Letterman, in a rare venture outside the safe confines of The Ed Sullivan Theater, similarly revisited the O'Brien-Leno struggle during a Friday appearance on "Live! With Regis and Kelly," this time bizarrely calling Leno "a bit of a knockwurst — you know what I mean?"
Back on his show Wednesday, Letterman, who recently turned 63, offered Leno a pointed birthday greeting: "Jay Leno is 60 years old today, and I heard very unhappy... You know why? He wants Conan's birthday."
Leno's probably come to expect that from Letterman. But he probably didn't expect to be outshone at the Correspondents' Association dinner by the President, who had better material.
"I am glad that the only person whose ratings fell more than mine last year is here tonight – great to see you Jay!" Obama quipped. "I'm also glad that I'm speaking first, because we all see what happens when somebody takes the time slot after Leno's."
Leno's routine was surprisingly tame, getting big laughs only when he tore off a couple of great zingers about the GOP strip club scandal ("Republicans in a lesbian bondage club. Republicans don't want lesbians marrying, but they do like to watch them tie the knot").
Leno's been around long enough to remember to never let them see you sweat, which might be the key to his career, at least in this final stage where he perhaps is better known for the Late Night Wars than for the comic timing that made him a star. He's also smart enough to rarely let bitterness creep into his humor – he'll leave that to other the guys, and act like everything's okay.
Leno did as much at the end of his routine Saturday night, saying he was honored to be performing for the Obamas and calling the gig "the greatest job I've ever had."
You almost believed him – or at least believed he believed what he was saying. That's the key to being the Teflon Comic: stick to the shtick and nothing will stick.

An implantable
cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) helps protect you against dangerous heart
rhythms. It's important to know how this device works and how to keep it
working right. Learning a few important facts about ICDs can
help you get the best results from your device.
You may have a device that combines an ICD with a pacemaker, which keeps your heart from beating too slowly. For more information on pacemakers, see Heart Problems: Living With a Pacemaker.
An implantable
cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) is a small electrical device that can stop a possibly deadly heart rhythm (arrhythmia).
An ICD is
implanted under the skin in your chest. A wire threaded
through a large vein connects the device to your heart. It is always
checking your heart rate and rhythm. If the ICD detects a
life-threatening rapid heart rhythm, it tries to slow the rhythm to get it back to normal. If the dangerous rhythm doesn't stop, the ICD sends an electrical shock to the heart to
restore a normal rhythm. The device then goes back to its watchful mode.
If your heart is beating too slowly, the ICD acts as a pacemaker, sending
mild electrical pulses to bring your heart rate back up to normal.
If your heart is beating too fast, an ICD sends a
strong shock to your heart.
If your heart is beating too fast, an ICD sends
a strong shock to your heart. That shock helps your heart return to a normal
Continue to Why?
To be sure that your device is
working right, you will need to have it checked regularly. ICDs can stop working because of loose or broken wires or other problems. Your doctor
will also make sure your ICD settings are right for what your body
You may need to go to your doctor's office, or you may be
able to get the device checked over the phone or the Internet.
ICDs run on batteries. In most cases, ICD
batteries last 5 to 15 years. When it's time to replace the
battery, you'll need another surgery, although it will be easier than the
surgery you had to place the device. The surgery is easier, because your doctor doesn't have to replace the leads that go to your heart.
It's important to have your ICD checked
regularly to make sure it is working right.

Continue to How?
When you have an ICD, it's important to avoid strong magnetic
and electrical fields. The lists below show electrical and magnetic sources and
how they may affect your ICD. For best results, follow these
guidelines. These safety tips also apply to devices that combine an ICD and a pacemaker. If you have questions, check with your doctor.
Stay away from:
Use with caution:
Safe to use:
If you get a shock from your ICD, follow the plan you set up with your doctor. In general, your plan depends on how you feel after you get a shock and how many times you get a shock.
After one shock:
After a second shock within 24 hours:
Most medical tests and procedures won't affect your ICD,
except for MRI, which uses strong magnets. To be safe:
You can travel safely with a cardiac device. But you'll want to be prepared before you go.
If you have an arrhythmia or an ICD that makes it dangerous for you to drive, your doctor might suggest that you stop driving, at least for a short time. You probably don't have to stop or limit driving if your arrhythmia doesn't cause bad symptoms.
For more information, see Heart Rhythm Problems and Driving.
If you think you have an infection near your device, call your doctor right away. Signs of an infection include:
Ask your doctor what sort of activity and intensity is safe for you. ICDs are set to shock at a specific heart rate.
So your target heart rate during exercise will probably be at least 10 to 15
beats below the ICD discharge heart rate.
You doctor can help you learn how to use a rating of perceived exertion (RPE) as a way to tell how hard you are exercising. This can help you keep your heart rate at a safe level during exercise.
Stop exercising and call your doctor if you have:
Most people who have an ICD (implantable cardioverter-defibrillator) can have an active sex life. If your doctor says that you can exercise and be active, then it's probably safe for you to have sex.
After you get the device implanted, you'll let your chest heal for a short time before resuming sex.
What if I get shocked? Many people with ICDs worry that their ICD might shock them during sex. The risk of getting a shock during sex seems to be the same as during any other similar level of exercise. If you get a shock during sex, you will follow your plan about when to call your doctor.
Will my partner get shocked? Some people worry that if they get shocked during sex, their partner might be hurt. But your partner will not be shocked or feel any pain if you get shocked.
You may feel nervous about living with an ICD, and you may worry about getting shocked.
The shock can be uncomfortable. It may feel like you are being kicked in the chest. For many people, getting a shock can cause anxiety and depression.
It's common to be worried about living with an ICD. After all, you don't know when a shock might occur, and a shock could be a reminder that your heart is not as healthy as it could be. But if you take a few simple steps, you can feel better about having an ICD.
As you plan for your future and your end of life, include plans for your ICD. You can make the decision to turn off your ICD as part of the medical treatment you want at the end of life. You can put this information in your advance directive.
It's safe to use a cell phone, but don't keep it in a
pocket directly over your ICD.
It's okay to use a cell phone when you have an ICD. Just don't carry it in a pocket directly over the device.
You can't exercise or do other activity when you have an ICD.
You can be active when you have an ICD. You need to work with your doctor to plan the activity or exercise that is best for you.
Continue to Where?
Now that you have read this
information, you know more about living with an ICD.
If you have questions about this information, print it out and take it
with you when you visit your doctor. You may want to make notes on pages where
you have questions.

It's Radon Action Month – Is Your Milwaukee, Wisconsin Home Free of Radon?
If you live in the Milwaukee area, you need to be aware of the problems and health risks posed by radon. Whether you are a lifelong resident or just moved to the Milwaukee area, it is important to protect yourself and your family by having the property tested for this dangerous colorless and odorless radioactive gas.
For Milwaukee residents who have yet to have their homes tested, the month of January offers an unprecedented opportunity to rectify that situation. The Environmental Protection Agency has named January as National Radon Action Month, and the agency is reaching out to residents in the Milwaukee area and across the country.
The EPA is using National Radon Action Month to urge all Milwaukee residents to have their homes tested for radon as soon as possible. The government is rightly concerned about not only radon contamination itself but about the health effects that can follow. According to the World Health Organization, radon gas is the number one cause of lung cancer for those who do not smoke, and the second leading cause for those who do. That makes radon a serious threat to all residents of the Milwaukee area, no matter what type of property they own or how long they have been residents of Wisconsin.
Radon Action Month is the Best Time to Hire a Radon Specialist
The first step toward getting your Milwaukee area home tested is to contact a radon testing company that is fully licensed to do business in the region. It is important to hire a company with the right qualifications, since testing for radon and working on a mitigation plan can be a difficult and complicated process.
Once you hire a radon testing company to check your Milwaukee area home, a certified technician will test the air inside the dwelling for signs of radon contamination. If the company does not find any radon contamination, you can rest assured and know that you and your family are safe and that you have done everything you can do to keep them protected from this dangerous threat.
Hire an Experienced Radon Specialist
If the testing you have done on your Milwaukee area home finds high levels of radon, your next step is to work with a radon mitigator on a plan to get rid of that contamination and stop it from coming back. In order to deal effectively with a radon problem, you first need to determine exactly how that gas is getting into your Milwaukee area home, and that is why it is so important to work with a qualified and experienced radon mitigator.
SWAT is the largest radon mitigator in the nation, and that national footprint gives them a number of advantages for residents of the Milwaukee area. SWAT has access to the largest network of certified technicians in the industry, and that allows us to give every Milwaukee area homeowner we work with the attention they deserve. And during the month of January, SWAT will be celebrating National Radon Action Month by offering discounts and special incentives to Milwaukee area residents who want to deal effectively with their radon problems and keep their families safe at home.
