Read here from jsonline blog re the possibility that Harrell's latest back pains may at this point, be career threatening. If he is indeed done, I know a good many will be even more frustrated that Ted Thompson took a chance on the guy (considering his injury history was well-documented before the draft). I won't hesitate to criticize that decision either because even at the time, I thought it was a questionable decision. However, one thing I want to put out there that could very well get overlooked in all of this is this: Justin Harrell is more disappointed than any of us. The guy worked hard to make it in this league, it wasn't his fault he was drafted by the Packers in the first round and he has had a succession of unfortunate injuries that continue to interfere with his dreams too.
Justin Harrell's career over?

Last year Justin Harrell arrived at training camp out of shape. That was his fault. With year-round access to facilities and trainers, there is no reason to come to camp flabby and over weight.

Back injuries and the game of footnall don't go together. Harrell wasn't the one who risked a #16 pick on himself. That honor goes to TT. His injury history was well known on that draft day. This certainly sounds bad for his future, I hope he has used his money well and has a good future ahead of him.
Last week we saw a very aggressive defense that performed well.If we're lucky that scheme will carry GB through. One thing I noted after watching the game over on the DVR, Montgomery is awful. Depth in the defensive line is a weakness and wtihout Harrell it will be even weaker. Instead of Preston as our token FA, I sure would have liked to see a Holiday as a backup to the DL.
I'm trying to control myself when evaluating the defense. I loved it but it was the first pre-season game against a weak offensive unit, We won't know how good they are until after we face Jeff Fisher Maybe the Cardinals !

Alert: Bret and Deanna are on the Viking private jet at this moment. He will sign with the Vikings today. From the moment he signs I have every right to wish everything bad on this jerk. He is now an official traitor and enemy.

According to TT's interview, the Pack doesn't think that Harrell's carrer is over. He thinks their med staff can treat it. But then again, that is TT talking.

Did he have a career? I guess I missed it. Thats what you get for going to the can during the game …

International Conference on Chemical Structures 2014
This Sunday the International Conference on Chemical Structures starts. If you aren't joining, it is important you know how to keep track of things online. First, follow the #iccs2014 hashtag on Twitter, and use the hashtag on any social platform. For example, I will bookmark papers mentioned in presentations on CiteULike. And slides that speakers put online, as well as coverage of other kinds, I'll link on Lanyrd. If you want to know what to expect, read this abstract book. And, of course, if you are attending the meeting, you can still join the online discussion.

Pathway analysis for Malaria research
A recurrent theme in my blog is that an easy way to support Open Science is to just join the show. You do not have to contribute a lot to have some impact. Of course, sometimes what you do has more impact than other times. Sometimes something with initially little impact gets high impact later. This is hard to predict, but maybe as well as the stock exchange. In the past I have contributed effort to many Open projects, often small bits, some things never get noticed (like my Ant man page in Debian which is more than 10 years old :).
One project I have long wanted to contribute to, is the Open Source Malaria project, which is brilliantly led by Matt Todd. I had two principle ideas:
One project I have long wanted to contribute to, is the Open Source Malaria project, which is brilliantly led by Matt Todd. I had two principle ideas:
- use Bioclipse to run the Decision Support against the OSM compounds
- do pathway analysis on malaria data
- use the AMBIT-JS to put all the OSM compounds online as a HTML page
The first and third I still have not gotten around to finishing. The first is a very simple way for you to contribute. The key question here is just to see how the compounds can be made less toxic / have less side effects. And Bioclipse can visualize this easily, based on various toxicity models, among all those from OpenTox. Really, a four hour job.
|PCA results from arrayanalysis.org
for the four sample groups.
The other task is more difficult, and I am really happy that Patricia Zaandam started a ten week internship with me to work on this task. She has been blogging her progress, and I strongly invite you to read her blog and comment (ask questions, post ideas, give criticism), as Open projects are driven by Open communication. Because WikiPathways has most pathways for human, Patricia looking at human expression data. And in five weeks time, she did the preprocessing of the raw data using arrayanalysis.org and did the pathways analysis using PathVisio, resulting in this shortlist of pathways. And now the hard part starts: biological and methodological validation of her approach.
There is plenty of room for feedback. I am not at all a malaria expert, and learning a lot from her study. Some questions we welcome expert input in (as independent test set validation, so to say):
- what key pathways and genes do we expect to see for treated-versus-ill malaria patients
- what transcriptomics/proteomics/metabolomics data do you like us to consider too
Etc, etc...

Jean-Claude Bradley, Blue Obelisk award winner
|Chemistry in Second Life. DOI:10.1186/1752-153X-3-14
One of the few people in chemistry who did both promoting Open and doing Open was Jean-Claude Bradley. Yesterday, I heard the sad news that he passed away. This is a great loss to many of us and certainly to the open chemistry community. Jean-Claude received the Blue Obelisk award for his Open Notebook Science work back in 2007 (I handed him the obelisk at the ACS meeting in Chicago; thanx to Chris for taking the picture, and digging it up!) and he contributed much to the community, among which his melting point and solubility data for organic compounds.
|A proud me handing out the Blue Obelisk award to Jean-Claude in Chicago in 2007.

Few people leave a big impression on me, but he was certainly one of them. Let his extensive work not go unnoticed; there is still a lot to do in Open chemistry.

Changes in CDK 1.6 #5: the SMILES generator
|User:Fdardel and User: DMacks
CC-BY-SA at Wikipedia.
Canonical SMILES
Generating unique SMILES is done slightly differently, but elegantly:
generator = SmilesGenerator.unique();
"Aromatic" SMILES
Because SMILES with lower case element symbols reflecting aromaticity has less explicit information, it is not my suggestion to use. Still, I know that some of you are keen on using it, for various sometimes logical reasons, so here goes. Previously, you would use the setUseAromaticityFlag(true) method for this, but you can now use instead:
generator = SmilesGenerator.generic().aromatic()
smiles = generator.createSMILES(mol)
Of course, you can combine things.

Changes in CDK 1.6 #4: IsotopeFactory and Isotopes
A major CDK API change happened around the IsotopeFactory. Previously, this class was used to get isotope information, which it gets from an configurable XML file. This functionality is now available from the XMLIsotopeFactory class. However, to improve the speed of getting basic isotope information as well as to reduce the size of the core modules, CDK 1.6 introduces a Isotopes class, which contains information extracted from the XML file, but is available as a pure Java class. The APIs for getting isotope information is mostly the same, but the instantiation is much simpler, and also no longer requires an IChemObjectBuilder (in Groovy):
import org.openscience.cdk.config.*;
isofac = Isotopes.getInstance();
uranium = 92;
for (atomicNumber in 1..uranium) {
element = isofac.getElement(atomicNumber)

The Countess, Plaza Kelana Jaya
>> Thursday, April 21, 2011
Venue: The Countess, Plaza Kelana Jaya
Overall comment: Food isn't too bad, especially for the price you pay. I actually thought the fish & chips was good!
Halal: Pork-Free (alcohol is served)
I've never been to Plaza Kelana Jaya for a meal. As nothing much could be googled up on restaurants in this place, I wasn't very hopeful with my visit here, but I thought I'd give it a try anyway. This place was relatively quiet that particular night I was there. It made me wonder if restaurants here can actually survive for a couple of months with the lack of patrons! But I guess restaurants here cater mainly to lunch crowds. Variety at this plaza isn't extensive, but it's good enough for a quick meal.
The Countess is a restaurant & lounge, located at Plaza Kelana Jaya. I wasn't interested in the lounge/bar (although the prices are actually quite a deal, I read), but I stopped by this place out of the several choices available solely because of 1. the prices of food & 2. the sets available (I don't need to think too much....hahaha).
The restaurant faces the Kelana Jaya lake & I felt that it's one of the BEST places to meet up with friends for some good catch-up sessions since it's quiet at night during dinner! I loved the calm, relaxing, & peaceful atmosphere, where I can just chill & chat the night away :)

I'm considering to go there again to try out their other dishes...anyone interested to join me? ;)

Mule Deer
There has been a huge growth in the number of people who, in addition to feeding birds, also directly or indirectly feed deer, bear and other animals around their homes and cabins. Feeding of wildlife places wildlife at risk and puts them on a collision course with humans. Help keep wildlife from coming into conflict with people because when that happens, everyone loses.

i do not exspect the 3.3 4 tec to be around much longer although traxxas says it will always have a fast car wonder what and when it will be out it is time for something better i am going to something different trinity,serpent something.
Man I could not keep my tires on my rims so I tried my first set of foams.I love em.They are dustier than rubber but wow they grip the asphalt great!!
I found some Jaco's-can't remember numbers offhand but man I love em!!
Yes I've been out within the last couple days rippin up my new foams!
Traxxas Rally
Hpi Blitz ESE
Jammin SCRT10
Can someone update at least some links?
Thank you
I agree. Alot of the part links are out dated. I was thinking of getting one of these but I'm not sure if Traxxas is going to keep this one alive. Seeing as how it got the car of the year you'd think they'd do something with it. I love the look of this car but HPI seems to be more behind their on-road kits right now. Maybe on-road rc is dead? I'll wait till the end of the year and see if Traxxas does anything with the 4-Tec. If they don't then I'll pick up an HPI road kit.
Good idea, you can't even get hop up parts for it anymore. On road rc isn't dead, it's just that traxxas can't keep up with the times with a convenient, upgradeable, on road car. It's not that I don't like traxxas, it's the fact that the nitro 4-tec is only good for going straight fast, and the electric 4-tec is so out of date.
Cars can fly too!
I'm really surprised that Traxxas hasn't come out with the VXL 4 Tec. I mean, they pretty much have the "E" everything else to match the Nitro version.
If you can't beat it....destroy it!
And even the fact that they don't support their nitro 4-tec with hop up parts or any upgrades for that matter. People have been modifying their nitro 4-tec's to electric, isn't that saying something?
Cars can fly too!
I posted this in another thread but think I will do again here.
If you are having handling problems due to too much power for a given road surface, try a drift gyro! My 4Tec and my friends 4Tec would get all squirrelly if we gave them more than 1/2 throttle. As in the rear end would suddenly snap around and cause wild spins. Not cool! We both tried ALL kinds of tires, same story. Added the gyro, set to a low sensitivity, and we both can just romp on 'em and go straight! What a difference!
US Navy retired, now - FAA air traffic controller
ya but a gyro is like $100
Cars can fly too!
I agree the gyro IS expensive....but add up all the tires you go through by constantly spinning out and I think it would be worth it. I, myself don't have $100 to drop on the gryo at the moment but it sounds like it would be worth a shot.
If you can't beat it....destroy it!
No they are not that expensive! We each bought one and they were about $29. Do a search for drift gyro.
US Navy retired, now - FAA air traffic controller
One of the RC mags did a race setup on the 4-Tec. They need a VXL version. HPI seems to be doing well with their brushless on-road kits. Add a 2.4 and price it the same as the Slash 4x4. I'd buy one.
What I REALLY want to find is a set of wheels/tires that are a bit TALLER than all of the road car sets on the market. I am just sick and tired of the car bottoming out at speed. I have the suspension up as high as I (think) I can get it but there is soooo little travel. Any ideas? Please?
US Navy retired, now - FAA air traffic controller
I have been wanting a "factory made" VXL 4tec for so long I broke down last week and purchased a Sprint2 flux . Its the first HPI product I have ever owned, infact its the first non-Traxxas item I have ever purchased. I was going to convert my 2.5 4tec into a VXL but I enjoy having one 4tec for speed runs and one 4tec thats actually controllable. The HPI is not to bad though, except for the fact that I have already fried the skinny little rear belt from debris getting in the rear bulkhead after 2 packs and with stock gearing its nearing 200 degrees after 5 min of running on my spc 2s 5000. Overall I am dissapointed I had to go to another company to get a brushless touring car.
As for my 4tec, I am going to have to get my hands on a gyro since you guys seem to be having good luck with them. Anyone have a link for that $29 gyro?
I know in the past people have run the older HPI super nitro wheels and tires on the 4tec for more clearance among other things, they have a 12mm hex, are taller and suposedly clear the front bumper at full lock. You just have to hack out larger wheel wells on all your body's. I have been wanting to try this for a while but whenever its time for new rubber on the 4tec's I usually just get another set of stockers or cheap foams as they seem to be the best bang for the buck.

Has anyone actually used those HPI wheel/tires? They look to be waaaay too wide.
US Navy retired, now - FAA air traffic controller
Okie Dokie boys and girls - I ordered the HPI super nitro wheels and tires. Now to see what they can do hooked up with the gyro! The gyro made it controllable even on semi-slick asphalt, and with the adjustable steering through the 2.4 radio and the taller, wider supers it may be the beast it wants to be! I'll hack up the new/unused stock body to test, then maybe hack away at my C6 (clone of my BIG car) body if all works well together.

I have read all the information above and find it much informative and save it in my pc.
Thanks for providing such a useful info.
Does a supercharger really help at all for my nitro 4 tec
I've heard nothing but negative things about it. Everything from you won't be able to notice a performance increase to too much strain on the motor causing motor failure to waaaaay too expensive for the little to no gains. In my opinion it would look sweet on a shelf queen, if you want to spend that kind of money on something that will sit on a shelf that is. That, and the 3.3 is too much to handle for this car....no need to add extra power. I would say don't waste your money unless you just want it for show.
If you can't beat it....destroy it!
Alright thanks for the info ive heard that alot but no thats not what I want it for. Are there any other power adders for more performance?
Last edited by Ajleal; 11-28-2011 at 07:14 PM.
I'm sure you can swap out the 3.3 for a different motor but other than that, I wouldn't know of any. I have enough trouble keeping this beast straight with the 3.3. No more power needed for me.
If you can't beat it....destroy it!
Ajleal.. what 4tec do you have.. The 2.5 or the 3.3.. or one of the early first ones? I can't really see any need for more power than this car already has. I love to drive fast and everything I own is very fast. The 4tec is the one car I haven't really done anything to other than run foams. Its already way over powered as it is. I have tried the supercharger on a nitro truck a couple of years ago and while I did notice a slight power increase (most likely from running too lean) its not worth the money and I sold it. Tuning was a pain and just not worth the trouble..
Maxx3.3/ rusty5700/ slash3800/ slash5700 /4tec3.3
I have the 3.3 and do the foam tires change anything and thanx for the info about the supercharger wouldnt wanna waste money on that
For those of you having trouble with the hobbietowers.com links, the fix is to change the www2 prefix. Change the www2 to www3 and the pages will come up.
The rest of the links are another problem as they are just gone or do not exists anymore.
Good luck,
hey pc.pro.doc, i'm in NE Ohio also. I just recently got into the on road nitro cars. where do you run yours? are there any clubs or tracks around cleveland? thanks
Not sure if this helps, and there may be more out there. These are just the tracks listed on this site. http://www.therczone.com/tracks/sear...=United+States
If you Google "RC tracks in Ohio" there are a lot of sites listing tracks. This was just the first one I came across.

hi i bought a traxxas 4 tec form a buddy and he had it all carbon fiber but last time he drove it he crashed and broke the carbon fiber upper chassis i have looked everywhere and cant find one can anyone help me find one or make one im willing to throw up some cash if i can get another upper chassis carbon fiber please help
Your best bet would be to keep the old one as a guide and make your own new one. If you search for graphite-girl on ebay, she can send you any size of carbon fiber you ask for. I usually get a 9"x12" of 2.5mm when making parts. It's around $60 with shipping. Which isn't bad at all since you can make every piece you will need for the 4 tec out of that 9x12. I was even able to make a lower chassis too. That's the best I can suggest. If there are any factory pieces out there, good luck finding one. I was able to get one about 3 years ago. I tried to get 2 but they said that was the last one they had and it was in the UK. I crashed and broke that one. That's when I found graphite-girl on ebay. Give it a try. It's pretty easy, just time consuming.
If you can't beat it....destroy it!
Hey, does anyone know, if anyone makes steel cvd's for the 4tec 3.3? i didn't see them on this list, and would realy like to get some. I have them on my revos, t-maxx, and jato. But can't find them anywhere for the 4-tec. If anyone can help i would appreciate it. Thanks! (and steel is deffinitly stronger than aluminum, for sure!)
I currently have a jato 3.3 but looking for an awd road car... I like the 4tec but my only concern is the drive line for the front... is there any known.issues with the belt?
With proper belt tension, which is mighty simple on the 4tec- I am unaware of any known issue that are particular to the 4tec's front drive belt. All belt drive on-road cars suffer from the occasional rock in the pulley when driven in dusty sandy areas. I have 3 tec's, been tearing it up with this car since 2001 or so, very reliable car indeed. More commonly you will get a rock stuck between the spurs and pinions of the 2-speed, they pop right out and your back in action. My nicest 4tec, which has more cash in it than i'd like to share still has a few random parts from my first 4tec on it, 11 years later and still gets bashed hard. Buy one and don't look back!

wow this is sad.im the last one to havemade a post on this forun.ive given up on anyone supporting the tec so im going to have parts that i want made. i know have the c and c guy,have the engine set up i want i just want a narrower chassis and use wider tires it will need it it has just about all the rest.however if anyone has a contact for upgrades please let me know. thank you.
Well be prepared to spend 70-100 on one i have seen them go that high on ebay used
is it just me or has Traxxas released some hop-ups for the 4-tec.. I might have to break mine out
Traxxas please sell kits!
Is there any upgraded brakes for the 4-tec ?

There is nothing wrong with rear sway bars. Get better tires! And the sway bars work fine
Yeah my rear sway bar helps all I had to do was add some racing slicks.

You've seen Anne Hathaway astride the popular, two-wheeled Bat conveyance — the Batpod. Now watch her stunt double demolish a movie camera (IMAX?) while filming an action scene for the third movie in director Christopher Nolan's Bat-trilogy. Oof. No breakfast burrito for her.
Movie cameras are mainly leased from companies like Panavision, which owns all of its product, so judging the price of the crushed caped crusader-recorder is no easy task. (Naturally, it's insured.) But if Nolan's shooting B-man entirely in IMAX, the camera's replacement could top $300,000.
All together now: Why didn't you TURN?

That Ernest Hemingway was, for years, the most celebrated writer in America is hardly surprising. After all, if he had written nothing besides, say, The Sun Also Rises, the early collection, In Our Time, and the magisterial "Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber," he would still be an utterly indispensable American writer. The preposterous and romantic literary myth that Hemingway himself created and nurtured, meanwhile — that of the brawling, hard-drinking, thrill-seeking sportsman who is also an uncompromising, soulful artist — ensured that generations of writers would not merely revere him, but (often to their own abiding detriment) would also try to emulate him.
And yet most readers, when pressed, might well name a slew of other authors, living and dead (Faulkner, Bellow, Cormac McCarthy) who, across the years, crafted more varied and more consistently excellent work than Hemingway's.
So … despite what countless acolytes might claim, Hemingway was not the greatest American writer of the 20th century. He was, however — and more than five decades after his death, he remains — the single most influential, most parodied, most prominent, mostimmense American author of the past 100 years.
Incredibly, one of Hemingway's most highly regarded novels, the short masterpiece, The Old Man and the Sea, was first published, in its entirety, in a single issue of LIFE magazine in September 1952.
At the time, Hemingway was (to employ an apt metaphor for a man who fairly worshiped machismo) the heavyweight champ of American letters. Even if his productivity had waned, and even if the searing brilliance that defined seemingly every story and novel of his early years had, by 1952, been reduced to an occasional flare of the old genius, "Papa" was still a cultural force to be reckoned with.
(A mere two years before, John O'Hara, in a New York Times review of the novel, Across the River and Into the Trees, had gone a bit overboard, calling Hemingway "the most important author living today, the outstanding author since the death of Shakespeare." But such was the shadow he cast.)
Warranted or not, the hubbub that attended Hemingway turned any new story or, better yet, new book into a publishing event; the LIFE issue, to absolutely no one's surprise, was an enormous success, selling millions of newsstand copies in a matter of days. The novel itself earned Hemingway his first and only Pulitzer Prize for fiction, and remains among his most widely read works.
And yet … as anyone who has indulged an even casual interest in his career knows, by the early 1950s Hemingway' private world was one increasingly defined not by protean artistic achievements, but by rivers of booze; bewilderment at his own diminishing powers as a writer; depression and even rage at his failing, once-indomitable health — in short, by a host of personal, relentless demons. The larger-than-life figure who prized "grace under pressure" above all other attributes was besieged; in less than a decade, his demons would drive him to suicide by shotgun.
All of this helps explain why, when LIFE's Alfred Eisensstaedt went to Cuba to photograph Hemingway for the September 1952 issue, he encountered not a gracious (if perhaps prickly) fellow artist and man of letters, but a thoroughly disagreeable, paranoid, gin-sodden lunatic.
Eisenstaedt was able, eventually, to capture a few usable images of the middle-aged man who was soon be awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. His cover photo of Hemingway, in fact, is something of a classic: a riveting portrait of a no-longer-young, still-formidable lion.
But the experience of trying to photograph the 52-year-old writer, as Eisenstaedt recalled years later in an interview with historian Alex Groner, was a stressful and at times even frightening misadventure.
Hemingway, Eisenstaedt wonderingly noted, drank from the moment he awoke until the time he went to bed, with a lackey constantly plying him with booze; obsessed over his virility (sometimes literally pounding his chest, "like King Kong," to illustrate that, while perhaps diminished, he was still a man to whom attention must be paid); erupted into violent rages over minor slights, both real and imagined; rarely spoke a sentence, to anyone, that wasn't peppered with obscenities; and generally behaved like a buffoon.
Words and phrases that crop up repeatedly in Eisenstaedt's reminiscences include "crazy," "berserk," "wild," "insulting," "drunk," and "blue in the face" (as in, blue in the face with sudden, uncontrollable anger). Eisenstaedt found very few moments when he could take — or when Hemingway would allow him to take — photos he could actually use. More than once, the gregarious, easy-going Eisie, who by all accounts got along famously with virtually everyone he met, went off by himself to photograph quieter scenes on the island, hoping the writer might calm down enough so that he might make a few worthwhile pictures.
"He was," Eisenstaedt once said of Hemingway, "the most difficult person I ever photographed." Coming from a man who was a professional photographer across seven decades — someone who photographed presidents, emperors, socially awkward scientists, testy athletes, egomaniac actors, insecure actresses and once, famously, a scowling and goblin-like Nazi minister of propaganda, Joseph Goebbels — coming from Eisenstaedt, that bald assertion about Hemingway is striking, and sadly revealing. And it's especially sad in light of the effort that Eisenstaedt evidently put into trying to like Hemingway.
Throughout his interview with Groner, for example, Eisenstaedt repeatedly, almost wistfully, refers to the man he went to Cuba to photograph — the man who thwarted his efforts at almost every turn — as "Papa." It's almost as if, years later, recounting his tumultuous dealings with the author, Eisenstaedt refers to Hemingway by his famous, companionable nickname in the vain hope of summoning something about the man that he can recall with fondness.
Ernest Hemingway was a major writer. Not everything he wrote was great; but some of what he wrote was as good as anything ever written by any American, and a handful of his works are, by common assent, vital and groundbreaking landmarks in world literature.
This gallery serves as both a tribute to Hemingway's achievements, and a reminder of the haunting truth that when they fall, great men fall very, very far indeed.

The Situation
The 4-acre Holyrood site incorporates buildings to house the Scottish Parliament debating chamber, committee rooms and office accommodation for 105 Members of the Scottish Parliament (MSPs) and staff, as well as media suites, visitor information facilities, ancillary staff buildings and catering facilities. The Building User Brief for Holyrood stipulated that, wherever possible, the new building should feature the integration of energy-efficient and environmentally conscious design principles. The objective was to provide an economical construction that also resulted in benefits for the users, ensuring a high-quality internal environment with low maintenance costs and low energy consumption.
The Grundfos Solution
The entire Holyrood development was designed to make best use of the existing infrastructure and to involve as little environmental strain as possible. The designated criteria included indoor air quality must ensure a healthy working environmental products are chosen with regard to their environmental impact energy must be used efficiently to minimise harmful products water must be used economically, minimised and recycled. Grundfos played a pivotal role in achieving this in all aspects relating to the pump and pumping supply, ensuring all the stringent environmental criteria were met. The solutions provided were also quite simply the best products available in terms of their individual functions. Working closely with all the relevant parties, Grundfos Pumps Ltd played a project management role at all the many stages of construction to ensure the timely supply of information, quotations and technical assistance, as well as product deliveries and commissioning.
The Outcome
The work was undertaken in several phases extending over the period 1999–2004. Grundfos supplied a total of 44 pumps – many of them electronically controlled – along with 5 variable-speed booster sets and 5 pressurisation sets for this landmark complex. This was one of the first building projects for which Grundfos supplied MAGNA pumps. By incorporating variable-speed pumps that provide users with reductions of up to 70% in energy costs, the project has become an example for future developments to follow.
Environmentally responsible solutions - Pumps for a wide range of different uses. - Ongoing project support and technical back-up. - A solution that not only met, but also exceeded the brief.

The architects were the Spanish architectural practice run by Enric Miralles and his wife Benedetta Tagliabue, in conjunction with the UK RMJM practice of architects and town planning consultants. Grundfos Pumps Ltd worked on Holyrood in conjunction with the Edinburgh-based RMJM Scotland Limited, service engineers on the project. The MAGNA series of circulator pumps goes from strength to strength: the latest generation boasts improved efficiency and performance, an extended product range, and the special AUTOadapt function.

Study to Test Whether Hearing Aids Can Help Prevent Falls
Study With UNT Center to Focus on How Hearing Impairments Affect Sense of Balance
UT Dallas researchers are recruiting patients for a new study aimed at determining a connection between hearing deficits and the likelihood of falls.
The research project, a collaboration with the UNT Health Science Center in Fort Worth, is evaluating how much hearing aids and other technologies might improve balance and prevent falls for people with auditory problems.
Participants will stand or walk on a treadmill in different virtual environments, such as a simulated forest, to test balance issues. Harnesses will provide patient safety.
One-third of older adults fall each year, according to recent national studies. The resulting injuries can be life-threatening.
A person's sense of balance relies heavily on the vestibular system of the inner ear, as well as on information gained from the senses of sight, touch and hearing. Previous research on falls has focused on the roles played by visual, cognitive or motor impairments. But recent studies suggest that people with hearing loss also may be at greater risk of falling.
More than half of adults over the age of 65 experience hearing loss. About 65 percent of them seek no treatment.
The UT Dallas-UNT study will help identify people at risk of falling and evaluate the effects of different types of hearing aid technologies on balance and gait. Subjects with and without hearing loss, while wearing or not wearing the hearing aids, will be monitored as they stand, walk and perform routine daily tasks while repeating words or sentences that are played in the surrounding environment.
Participants will stand or walk on a treadmill through different virtual environments, such as a walk in the forest. The researchers want to evaluate the participants in "normal" daily environments. Previous studies of hearing and balance rarely replicated real-life situations, so results were questionable, said Dr. Linda Thibodeau, a professor in UT Dallas' School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences and the chief investigator for the UT Dallas team.
The study also will provide volunteer subjects with overall assessments of their hearing and balance systems. The auditory and vestibular testing and hearing aid fitting will take place at the UT Dallas Callier Center for Communication Disorders. If a hearing loss is confirmed, the audiologist will perform a hearing aid evaluation and selection.
People with hearing loss will be equipped with bilateral hearing aids and FM systems for a six-week period. The study requires four to five visits, taking a total of 10 to 12 hours, scheduled over a period of six to eight weeks.
"This study could go a long way toward helping us understand the importance of hearing and how it affects many other aspects of a person's well-being."
Dr. Linda Thibodeau,
of Behavioral and Brain Sciences
The second phase of the study, looking at balance and mobility, will take place at the UNT center in Fort Worth. Dr. Nicoleta Bugnariu, associate professor at UNT, is lead investigator for the project.
Reflective sensors will be placed on the arms, legs and the body to measure patients' various aspects of gait and balance. A harness is provided for patient safety during the testing.
Researchers will compare the base-line test results gathered before amplification with the results noted after six weeks of amplification to determine whether balance improves when the participant is able to hear better in the noisy environment.
The investigators are seeking 10 adults, ages 50 to 80 years, who have normal hearing and another 10 who have hearing loss but have never worn a hearing aid.
"We anticipate that there will be increased cognitive resources available to devote to balance and gait when the hearing aids or assistive devices are worn," Thibodeau said. "But until we observe these individuals in situations that are created to simulate normal day-to-day environments, we can't be certain of the effects. This study could go a long way toward helping us understand the importance of hearing and how it affects many other aspects of a person's well-being."
The study is funded by a $100,000 grant from the Texas Medical Research Collaborative to UT Dallas and UNT Health Science Center. Other UT Dallas researchers and students are involved in the project, including Dr. Ross Roeser, Lois & Howard Wolf Professor in Pediatric Hearing, and Dr. Phillip Wilson, clinical associate professor.

Over to the right, you'll notice a new feature here on 6-4-3 Putout: The Searage Shaves Standings. Before the season starter James McDonald made a bet with pitching coach Ray Searage. If five Pirates' starters win ten games each, Ray has to shave his mustache and eyebrows. There are 44 games left so each starter should get about eight more starts. Kevin Correia has already done his part. Jeff Karstens and Charlie Morton should be able to reach the goal fairly easily too. It will be tougher for McDonald and Paul Maholm but the real key here is that the offense needs to score more.
Its unknown what would happen to the bet if another starter like Ross Ohlendorf or Brad Lincoln gets put in the rotation. Both have made starts for the Bucs this year.
Searage has a mighty fine soup strainer, but here's hoping it bites the dust. He can always grow a new one.
Monday morning UPDATE: If the offense keeps up their current pace I'll never have to update this for the rest of the season. Sheesh.
End of year update: Injuries and lack of scoring wrapped this one up early. Here are the final standings.

« Teachers: Kenneth Cole Should Stick to Shoes | Main | Recognizing Differences Between Black and Hispanic Students »
Resource Watch: Khan-esque Videos From MIT Students
Picking up on the Khan Academy meme, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has launched a program to encourage its students to create short instructional videos for K-12 students on science and engineering concepts, according to a release from MIT. The videosof which there are already some three dozenwill be posted on the MIT+K12 website, as well as on YouTube. Some will also be made available through Khan Academy itself, which appears to be both the inspiration for and a partner in the initiative.
Teachers and students can also use the MIT+K12 site to communicate with the the MIT video creators and to "assign" particular topics or issues they'd like to see covered.
According to the MIT release, 73 percent of the 300 K-12 students who viewed some of the early MIT-produced videos indicated that the clips "showed me that science and engineering could be cool." Sixty-two percent said the videos added value to their classroom lessons on the selected topics.

Clinicians considering telepractice often want to know which video platform to use. Issues such as population served (children, adults or geriatric groups are often not reflected in their questioning. Newbie telepractitioners often also don't consider pivotal issues such as the client's/patient's setting (such as the back seat of a cab, one's living room with children underfoot, the back room of a bar, a jail cell, a nursing home, a locked mental health ward).Furthermore, they may not realize that when working with a couple in distress, they need a "multipoint system" to reach two parties in different locations at the same time.
Not only do many clinicians fail know how to select the right technology for their practices, they often also do not know how to optimize the clinical use of the technology they choose. They fumble with their technology, impart a less than professional impression to their clients/patients and waste previous clinical time with faulty assumptions about how to use technology for issues related to intake, assessment, screening, note-taking and termination.
This course reviews key technologies and outlines the key issues involved: type of technology with a primary focus on telephones and videoconferencing. Topics include how to think about screen size, screen resolution, speakers, monitors, a variety of peripheral devices. Research related to individual treatment via telephones and video conferencing are also examined, identifying and discussing findings or specific studies to help illuminate common assumptions and information gaps. This course offers practical know-how for setting up and managing your online practice.

At Humphry Slocombe, we serve hordes of loyal, beloved regulars each day. Some are more promiscuous than others, and try all our flavors, mixing it up each visit. Others are monogamous followers of specific flavors, like the one guy who comes in every day for a gallon of vanilla ice cream (for serious), or the devout woman who calls like clockwork to see if we have Rosemary's Baby.
One particular young lady was a big fan of Salted Licorice, and arrived promptly every time we had it in stock. After several visits, she came in one day bearing a gift: a bag of black, salty licorice that she brought back from Sweden. When Sean didn't register who or what she was, she became very insulted, threw the candy at him, and stormed off. As soon as she left, Sean remembered her and felt terrible. Angry Licorice Girl, please come back. Sean is very sorry.
Nearly everyone has a childhood reference to licorice. Salted Licorice reminds some guests of their travels to Eastern Europe and Scandinavia, where black licorice is ubiquitous. For other guests, Salted Licorice conjures up memories of chewy Red Vines in movie theaters. And it should, because we actually use Red Vines—the black ones, that is. Every once in a while, Sean stretches the truth by saying we use real licorice root. Technically, that's not incorrect…we just use real licorice root after it's been made into Red Vines. We're not afraid to be a little trashy. But not as trashy as Twizzlers. Those are gross.
- Yield
- Makes 1 quart
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 6 black Red Vines licorice, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 tbsp salt
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 cup sugar
- Fill a large bowl or pan with ice and water. Place a large, clean bowl in the ice bath and fit the bowl with a fine-mesh strainer.
- In a large, heavy-bottomed, nonreactive saucepan over medium heat, combine the cream, milk, licorice, and salt and cook, whisking occasionally, until much of the licorice has melted and the mixture is hot but not boiling, about 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until well blended.
- Remove the cream mixture from the heat. Slowly pour about half of the hot cream mixture into the yolk mixture, whisking constantly. Transfer the yolk mixture back to the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture and return it to medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly with a rubber spatula and being sure to scrape the bottom of the saucepan so it doesn't scorch, until the liquid begins to steam and you can feel the spatula scrape against the bottom of the pan, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Remove the custard from the heat and immediately pour it through the strainer into the clean bowl you set up in the ice bath. Let cool, stirring occasionally.
- When the custard has totally cooled, cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or preferably overnight. When you are ready to freeze the custard, transfer it to an ice cream maker and spin according to the manufacturer's instructions. Eat immediately, or transfer to an airtight container, cover, and freeze for up to 1 week.

The movie couple play expectant parents in the romantic comedy, but Lopez admits their portrayal of a loving husband and wife was a little too much for conservative Jones to bear - and he regularly asked them to tone down their public displays of affection (PDA).
She tells WENN, "I was the envy of the cast. I had Rodrigo Santoro to be my husband. We were an affectionate couple and our very English director Kirk kept telling us to stop.
"I think he was uncomfortable with the PDA. He was like, 'I don't think you guys have to hug and kiss that much!' We were like, 'No, we're Latino and very affectionate.' He was like, 'No, I think we can lay off on that a little bit.' His direction for us was stop touching each other!"
Lopez shot the film just weeks after her split from real-life husband Marc Anthony last summer (11).

Aust MPs pay tribute to John McCain
Scott Morrison has used his first question time as prime minister to pay tribute to United States Senator John McCain, who died last month.
Mr Morrison said it was unusual for parliament to recognise foreign politicians who weren't heads of state, but Senator McCain was a "worthy exception".
"From prime ministers Hawke to Turnbull, John McCain was a steadfast friend who understood that our alliance is a reflection of two similar peoples," Mr Morrison told parliament on Monday.
Senator McCain's father and grandfather served in the navy, defending Australia in World War II, while his sons served alongside Australian soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"I extend our deepest condolences to Senator McCain's wife, Cindy, his family and the American people he served so magnificently and may you rest in peace," Mr Morrison said.
Opposition Leader Bill Shorten said meeting Senator McCain when he visited Australia last year was a privilege.
"We all remember John McCain as a devoted friend of Australia," Mr Shorten told parliament.

It's never been a better time to be a beer lover in Connecticut. In the past few years, breweries, brew pubs and contract brewers have popped up all over the Nutmeg State, bringing a fresh approach to craft beer and giving aficionados several new locations to visit.
Bryon Turner, executive director of the CT Brewer's Guild and founder of the CT Beer Trail website (ctbeertrail.net) estimates that close to 15 brewing businesses have opened since 2010. His news and events website serves as a gathering place for members and fans. Tastings and onsite tours at breweries draw fans as well.
"We're seeing positive traction in developing a thriving craft beer culture in Connecticut," Turner said.
Long-recognized such names as Thomas Hooker, Olde Burnside, Willimantic Brewing Co. and City Steam have been joined by several energetic startups. Back East Brewing in Bloomfield launched in the summer of 2012 and is already looking toward expansion.
Co-founder Tony Karlowicz says he's happy, but not necessarily surprised, by Back East's early success. "We came into knowing there was a market for good beer, and [that] consumers' tastes are evolving and changing…they're looking to support local breweries, so we're doing what we want to do to be able to satisfy that demand," he said.
At the brewery at 1296 Blue Hills Ave., the tasting room is open for complimentary samples and growler fills Wednesday through Friday, 4 to 7 p.m. and Saturday, noon to 4 p.m. On Saturdays, tours are available at no charge at noon, 1, 2, and 3 p.m., but they're limited to 30 people apiece. Information: 877-923-2739 and backeastbrewing.com.
In Plainville, Mark Sigman's Relic Brewing, which opened in March 2012, has earned a cult following for its inventive recipes and intricately designed labels. A pumpkin ale is in the works for late October, along with Darkness Falls (a dark saison.) Rococo, a Belgian Dark Strong Ale Sigman describes as "rich and lavish" at 9 percent alcohol by volume, had a recent limited release of 150 bottles.
Relic has also partnered with Beer'd Brewing Co. in Stonington on a Belgian Black Rye IPA they're calling "Nano e Nano," a nod to their statuses as nanobreweries. Two versions based on the same recipe will be available at both breweries, Sigman said. Relic, 95 Whiting St. , is open Fridays from 4 to 7 p.m.;and Saturdays, noon to 3 p.m. for tastings and growler fills. Information: 860-255-4252 and relicbrewing.com.
Beer'd, about to mark its first anniversary on Nov. 9, distributes 98 percent of its beer via growlers from its Stonington location, said owner Aaren Simoncini. "What makes us stand out is our relatively small size…we can make changes to our offerings very easily, and this keeps it interesting not only for us, but anyone who frequents the tap room."
Beer'd, 22 Bayview Ave #15, Stonington, is open Fridays 5 to 9 p.m.; and Saturday and Sunday, 1 to 5 p.m. Information: 860-857-1014 and beerdbrewing.com.
In August, Manchester's Top Shelf Brewing opened its doors at 640 Hilliard St., where co-owners Mike Boney, T.J. Lavery and Joe Frost are brewing and distributing American, Belgian and Irish ales. It's open Fridays, 4 to 7 p.m. and Saturday, noon to 4 p.m. Information: 860-680-4105 and topshelfbrewery.com.
The state's newest brewery, Broad Brook Brewing, at 2 North Road in East Windsor, debuted Oct. 3 and plans to serve both house beers and guest brews in its taproom, said president Eric Mance. It's open 2 to 7 p.m. on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays; 12 to 7 p.m. Saturday; and 12 to 6 p.m. Sunday. Information: 860-623-1000 and broadbrookbrewing.com.
In New Haven County, the popular New England Brewing Co. in Woodbridge is in the process of moving to a larger facility by December. The move will quadruple the brewers' working space, which will help them double production by next year, said partner Matt Westfall. "Our new building will have a much bigger tasting room, and we'll be able to offer more variety there as well." New England Brewing, at 7 Selden St., is open Monday through Friday, noon to 6 p.m., and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturdays. Information: 203-387-2222 and newenglandbrewing.com.
And in Wolcott, Shebeen Brewing is getting creative with flavors: They've produced a "cannoli" beer, pineapple wheat, Concord grape saison, Kona bacon stout and a cucumber wasabi Japanese rice beer. "Nobody else was making things like this, so I did it myself," said head brewer Rich Visco, who has 25 years of experience. Shebeen, at 1 Wolcott St., is open Wednesday, 5 to 8 p.m.; Friday, 5 to 9 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday noon to 5 p.m. Information: 203-514- 2336 and shebeenbrewing.com.
Further south in Stratford, Two Roads Brewing has taken over the former U.S. Baird building, creating a massive space for production along with a sleek tasting room, private event space and gift shop. Guests can sit and enjoy pints or flights of the current beers on tap, or drink outdoors in the brewery's beer garden while dining on fare from a rotating lineup of food trucks on Saturdays. The brewery at 1700 Stratford St. is open Tuesday through Friday, 3 to 8 p.m.; Saturday, noon to 8 p.m.; and Sunday, noon to 5 p.m.; with tours at 5 p.m. on Friday; 1, 3 and 5 pm. Saturdays; and 1 and 3 p.m. Sundays. Information: 203-335-2010 and, tworoadsbrewing.com.
Several more breweries are in the works to launch in the coming months, including Stubborn Beauty in Middletown, Firefly Hollow in Bristol, Lost Elm in Stafford, Black Pond in Danielson, Overshores in Killingworth and No Worries in New Haven.

Every day, executives make errors in judgment and assessment; some of those mistakes are annoying, others catastrophic. And most are avoidable. Michael E. Raynor, author of The Innovator's Manifesto and The Strategy Paradox and co-author of The Three Rules: How Exceptional Companies Think, makes plain the importance of pausing to think before making decisions. Executives often see management theory as academic, removed from and even irrelevant to their workday, but Raynor clearly explains why challenging one's own ways of thinking is key to better decision-making. As the title of his regular TCB Review column implies, his mission is converting theory into practice.

Donaldson aces No. 6 at the Masters
Jamie Donaldson has made a hole-in-one at the Masters.
The Welsh golfer aced the sixth hole during Thursday's opening round. He becomes the fifth golfer to make a 1 at the 180-yard hole known as Juniper. And it's the first since Chris DiMarco in 2004.
Overall, it was the 24th ace in Masters history. Last year, Bo Van Pelt and Adam Scott made holes-in-one at No. 16.
Donaldson's brilliant shot left him at 1 under for the tournament, three strokes behind the leader, David Lynn of England.

With one foot in the present and another firmly in the past, these DIY instructions will turn that beautiful vintage typewriter in the attic into an awesome part of your digital routine. And give you some serious literary street cred.
Each mod will take you between five and ten hours depending on ability, but if you, like Instructables contributor jackzylkin, agree that the "mighty hammering of typewriter keys has long since faded away, replaced by the dull click of the computer keyboard," the time might be well spent (or check out his Etsy store). Even if you just want to make a statement against those typewriter-clinging luddites, a fine mechanical keyboard is something we can all agree on. [Instructables via CrunchGear]

This sophisticated version of good old french fries are updated with tangy parmesan cheese and exotic truffle oil from Italy. Truffle oils are used in small amounts to enhance the flavor of a dish and is usually added AFTER cooking because it is said that the aromatic flavor gets lost in the cooking process. Learn more about truffle oils HERE. Let me know how you like this gourmet and easy side dish!! Marlene
Parmesan & White Truffle Oil Oven Fries
If you don't have truffle oil on hand, you can easily buy it from Amazon: Kosher Truffle Oil, D'Allasandro, White – 8 Oz Bottle Each.
- 6-8 Yukon Gold potatoes, sliced into 12 wedges
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- salt & pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons kosher white truffle oil
- 2-4 tablespoons of fresh kosher parmesan cheese
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Thoroughly clean the potatoes and slice each potato into 12 wedges. Toss with olive oil, salt & pepper. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and roast in the oven until golden brown, about 18-25 minutes (depending on how crispy you like your fries). Remove from the oven, toss with parmesan Drizzle with white truffle oil. Sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish, if desired. Serve with any fish, soup, and a salad.

I'm writing today's post on my Android-based Acer Iconia A500 tablet. But no, I'm not tapping slowly around an on-screen keyboard. Instead, I grabbed an old USB keyboard that was laying at the bottom of a junk drawer in my closet, and I'm typing as fast as I would on my desk-bound machine. For tablet-based productivity, this is an awesome experience.
What back-bending acrobatics did I have to through to make this happen? I'll walk you through the whole process, step by step:
1) Find a USB keyboard. It has to be a PC keyboard; Mac keyboards don't seem to work.
2) Plug it into the USB port.
Yes, it's exactly the sort of ultra-technical hackery that Android has become known for, but if you can make it all the way through both steps, you'll be handsomely rewarded with the ability to type freely on a full-size keyboard.
Sadly, the Acer Iconia A500 is one of the few tablets to sport a standard USB port, so not all Android tablet users can enjoy this feature. So I'm going to take this opportunity to join my colleague Melissa Perenson in her ongoing campaign to urge tablet makers to pull their heads out of whatever crevices they've got them stuffed into and make this a standard feature across the form factor. And while I don't expect Apple to listen, I would hope that the rest of the industry sees the awesome opportunity here.
Unlike my iPad, which basically requires me to carry around a separate keyboard if I plan to do any real writing wherever I'm going, the Iconia A500 has emerged as a go-to machine for my business travel. One reason for this is that I know I can grab any old keyboard I find along the way and make it work.
Should you run out and buy an Iconia A500 to work on the go? I wouldn't go that far. Should you insist on a standard USB port on any tablet you buy? I believe you should.

Writing a Research Paper about Drug Addiction
Did you know that: More than 19,000 deaths in the USA are caused by drug addiction? 9,102 people died of drug-induced causes in 1999 in the USA? The number of emergency department visits involving heroin/morphine overdose increased from 84,409 to 97,287? So, if you have to write research papers about drug abuse, you may find more statistical data and include it into your paper.

A Little More On George
The most surprising part of my interview with Joe Torre tonight was his revelation – which he had first mentioned at his late afternoon news conference at Dodger Stadium – that he spoke to George Steinbrenner on July 4th to wish him a happy birthday. They had, evidently, a fairly long conversation, and that fact underscores a quality about Steinbrenner's penultimate illness which lent it the makings of something akin to a Greek Tragedy.
10 Comments
I'm fairly sure Steinbrenner enjoyed his caricature. I remember Larry David talking about how Steinbrenner actually came in to do the trial scene for the series finale and how he was really excited to be there.
Unfortunately, of all the things George Steinbrenner was, a good actor was not one of them, so they had to cut his part.
Great story! "I ran into him…" 🙂 Sometimes things just work out the way they should. Love your writing, KO.
Love the stories this week. please keep them coming. as a die hard yankee fan, it's been a sad week.
–thanks KO –
Hi, Keith.
My husband and I really enjoyed both segments. Wow, Bill Clinton! I cannot even imagine what that must have been like.
It is rather sad what Torre said, but one kind of gets that feeling, even from a distance. There are other sports team owners who never really seem fulfilled. I won't name any names, but they are NFL owners, so I thought it was interesting that Torre said that was a football mentality.
There's one thing I've always wondered about Steinbrenner. How did he feel about being caricatured on Seinfeld? Any idea? Maybe the show's namesake could answer that one for us. Hopefully he was honored; I always felt like that was the sentiment — picking on him because he was so admired, albeit intimidating.
That is the BEST story!! I can just see the look on your face as you plastered yourself against the wall. Fantastic. Pure, unadulterated LUCK!
RyP7sR Ppl like you get all the brains. I just get to say thanks for he answer.
Keith, from the stories you've related to us, Steinbrenner had a way of popping into your life at serendipitous moments. I don't believe in accidents in life, so I'm certain that you and your pizza and your Motor Cycle Gang Black Vinyl (not even pleather? ;)) Jacket were in the exact right place at the exact right time on the Northwest corner of that intersection that night.
I know that Steinbrenner was a difficult man, but these stories make him more human. And the fact that he was (according to Joe Torre) dissatisfied and less-than-happy in life are no doubt the things that drove him and made him a tough taskmaster and ultimately successful.
I said in a previous post that I hope history is kind to Steinbrenner and that he is remembered more for the positive things he did for baseball and less for his shortcomings and methods. Don't we all want to be remembered for the good things we've done?
Great story Keith. I'm sorry I missed the Joe Torre interview. Can you tell Steinbrenner stories all week, I never tire of them. Such great memories of a great man.
My memory ain't so great at age 36– yesterday I mentioned remembering your coverage of the 1997 World Series but I forgot about the 1999 World Series on NBC and the 2000 World Series on Fox. When I watched your segment on Steinbrenner followed by the Joe Torre interview I saw clips of you interviewing people after the Yankees won it in 1999 and/or 2000. For some reason I thought that Fox had been doing the World Series since 1998, and I thought you joined them later than 2000. At any rate, I was glad to be able to catch most of your interview and was a bit startled to hear Torre call Steinbrenner a "sad life." In some ways it does feel like a Charles Foster Kane sort of life but I have to think he enjoyed himself and his family. Plus, being rich must have some advantages.
I too, saw George one night @ PJ Clarke's – around 12 years ago.
Four tables were arranged lengthwise in the dining room for he and his coterie. Then there was a gap, and my table. George was, of course, at the head of his table. There was no one at the end opposite George except me. Even though I wasn't "with" the group, I couldn't help feeling that I was sitting at the opposite end of the table from George Steinbrenner.
That night at Clarke's, the girl I was with was more interested in Matt Dillon who was seated nearby. Was he with Cameron Diaz? I don't even know. Nor did I care. In my mind, I was having dinner with "The Boss".

-- Stars Billy Unger, Spencer Boldman, Kelli Berglund and
Tyrel Jackson Williams Host the Night --
Powered by its biggest yearly ratings ever, Disney XD will premiere more original content with "Lab Rats," a comedy series about a teenager and his newfound "siblings," a trio of super-human teens, who together must navigate typical high school and -- not so typical -- bionic glitches. The series will join Disney XD's popular "Monday Mayhem" comedy block -- led by the channel's #1 series "Kickin' It" -- with a special one-hour episode on MONDAY, FEBRUARY 27 (8:30-9:30 p.m., ET/PT) hosted by the cast.
Created by Chris Peterson and Bryan Moore ("That '70s Show") who, with Mark Brazill ("That '70s Show," "3rd Rock from the Sun") serve as executive producers, "Lab Rats" introduces Leo just as he settles into the high-tech home he shares with his inventor stepdad, Donald Davenport, his mom, Tasha, and Eddy, the "smart house" computer. There he discovers a secret underground lab with three experiments, super-human teens: Adam the strong one, Bree the fast one and Chase the smart one. The trio, eager to leave their confines, convinces Leo and his parents to let them join him at school where they try to fit in while trying to manage their unpredictable bionic strengths. Along the way, they help Leo build self confidence while he figures out a way to keep their bionic abilities a secret from the world.
Starring are Billy Unger ("You Again") as Chase, Spencer Boldman ("I'm in the Band") as Adam, Kelli Berglund ("Hip Hop Harry") as Bree, with Tyrel Jackson Williams ("Failure to Launch," "Pair of Kings") as Leo and Hal Sparks (E!'s "Talk Soup") as Davenport.

Applications and libraries/Graphics
From HaskellWiki
< Applications and libraries
Revision as of 13:39, 22 March 2006 by BjornBringert (talk | contribs) (Moved graphics stuff from the old libraries page.)
- The copyright status of this work is not known. Please help resolve this on the talk page.
Haskell Graphics Libraries
This page is about libraries for dealing with graphics, drawing and graphics file formats. For information about libraries for graphical user interfaces, see GUILibraries.
- The Hugs Graphics Library
- The Hugs Graphics Library supports 2-dimensional graphics operations, timers, mouse and keyboard actions and multiple windows. It runs on Hugs under both Win32 and X11. An earlier version was used for early prototypes of Fran.
- Haven
- Scalable Vector Graphics for Haskell. Portable, device-independent, resolution-independent library, including support for affine transformations, Bezier curves, fine-grained control of pen attributes, bounds and intersection tests, constructive area geometry, anti-aliased rendering, outline fonts, etc.
- Functional Metapost
- Functional Metapost is a Haskell binding for MetaPost, the powerful but cumbersome graphics language.
- Functional Reactive Animation
- FRAN is a Haskell library (or "embedded language") for interactive animations with 2D and 3D graphics and sound. It runs on Hugs under Windows 95 and Windows NT, using Win32 graphics (GDI).
- Pan
- An embedded language and highly optimizing compiler for image synthesis and transformation, based on the simple idea of images as functions over infinite, continuous 2D space. The resulting binaries can be used as PhotoShop plugins, embedded in web pages or PowerPoint, or used in an interactive standalone viewer. The compiler contains no domain-specific knowledge, so it's very extensible. See the gallery for visual examples. Currently Windows-only, but ports are encouraged.
- Pan#
- Pan# is a slightly re-engineered version of Pan. It uses the same compiler but used the Microsoft .NET framework instead of visual studio, making it easier to install and use. It also has a number of new features added. While Pan is embedded in Haskell, Pan# has its own Haskell-like language built in so there is no need to use other Haskell compilers. Currently Windows-only.
- Pancito
- Pancito is a Haskell module for manipulating functional images and then saving them to disk. It was inspired by Pan.
- HOpenGL
- HOpenGL is a Haskell binding for the OpenGL graphics API (GL 1.2.1 / GLU 1.3) and the portable OpenGL utility toolkit GLUT.
Graphics File Formats
- Gif Writer(since 10/06/2003: via Internet Archive; this library is no longer available!)
- A simple tool - capable of producing GIF based plots from within Haskell programs. Such plots can be then incorporated into HTML reports, to literate Haskell programs, or to combination of both.
- JPEG encoding
- Written in Gofer.
