Global grants support large international activities with sustainable, measurable outcomes in Rotary's areas of focus. Grant sponsors form international partnerships that respond to real community needs.
Global grants can fund these activities:
- Humanitarian projects
- Scholarships for graduate-level academic studies
- Vocational training teams, which are groups of professionals who travel abroad either to teach local professionals about a particular field or to learn more about their own
A key feature of global grants is partnership, between the district or club where the activity is carried out and a district or club in another country. Both sponsors must be qualified before they can submit an application.
To be successful, your application must:
- Be sustainable and include plans for long-term success after the global grant funds have been spent
- Include measurable goals
- Align with one of our areas of focus
- Respond to real community needs
- Actively involve Rotarians and community members
- Meet the eligibility requirements in the grants terms and conditions
Applications are accepted throughout the year and reviewed as they are received.
The minimum budget for a global grant activity is $30,000. The Foundation's World Fund provides a minimum of $15,000 and maximum of $200,000. Clubs and districts contribute District Designated Funds (DDF) and/or cash contributions that the World Fund matches. DDF is matched at 100% and cash is matched at 50%.

Cisco's proclamations on the value of the Internet of Things/Everything market -- $14.4 trillion -- would seem to include everything but the kitchen sink... and maybe even that if it's IP-enabled.
So is there anything IP-enabled that's not included in the Internet of Things/Everything market? We asked a couple of analysts tracking the market and they gave us a list of eight IP-enabled devices they do not consider elements of the Internet of Things/Everything:
- Desktops
- laptops
- tablets
- smartphones
- traditional mobile phones
- TVs
- DVD/MP3 players
- game consoles.
+MORE ON NETWORK WORLD:Connected stuff is catching on -- just don't call it IoT+
So anything that requires human interaction or control is not considered an element of the IoT/E ecosystem, according to ACG Research and IDC.
"IDC defines the Internet of Things as a network of networks of uniquely identifiable endpoints -- or 'things' -- that communicate without human interaction using IP connectivity -- be it 'locally' or globally," says Carrie MacGillivray, IDC program vice president for mobile services, IoT and infrastructure. "The key words in our definition is that it's communicated without human interaction. So, at the simplest level, we are not including smartphones, tablets, PCs, etc."
"The acceptable definition in the industry and essentially how ACG defines it is, IoT: Connectivity of devices not designed for direct human interaction, connectivity or control," says Dennis Ward, Internet of Things analyst at ACG. "It includes appliances, vehicles, machinery, sensors, monitors, devices -- e.g. all verticals/horizontals - healthcare, financial, wearables, utilities, etc."
So on the face of it, IoT/E would encompass almost exclusively machine-to-machine (M2M) interactions and communications. But it's not that cut and dried, according to MacGillivray. And doesn't wearable computing require some human interaction to, well, wear and activate certain sessions?
"We believe M2M is too industrial of a term to use and narrows the discussion - and we focus on the broader IoT market," she says. "Wearable overlaps with IoT as some requires human interaction."
"It's a superset of M2M with a bit more intelligence wrapped around it," says ACG's Ward.
As an example, Ward says a vehicle or inventory tracking system that interacts with other devices, such as GPS's, to gather more data and actionable information to make the tracking task more intelligent. Human interaction might be involved initially at the endpoint but all of the information gathering up to the result and presentation is IoT.
"It's a more intelligent device, a lot more agile," he says, "and at the back end there is a lot more activity that goes on."
The machines make the decision vs. the human making the decision, Ward says. So any IP-enabled device where the human has to make the decision based on the data presented would not be an IoT element.
Ward, however, considers wearable computing to be a definitive IoT element.
"A lot of that information (in wearables) is not happening because the individual is cognitively checking it out," he says.
As an example, he cites a piece of clothing made from fabric that's IP-enabled and uses a Bluetooth connection to a cloud-based application to monitor body temperature, heart rate, etc. When the data goes up into the cloud, then analytics and other processing occurs that has nothing to do with the human wearing the fabric.
Some of this categorization of IoT vs. non-IoT elements can be parsed out by how devices communicate. Cellphones that send data synchronously using the Real-time Transport Protocol are considered non-IoT elements while devices communicating asynchronously could be.
"It's literally a different type of data element that's on the network," Ward says.

Main article: The Photography of Ghosts I–IV
Intended as a visual aesthetic to accompany Ghosts I–IV, a 40 page PDF is included with all of the official digital releases from nin.com. Each page is dedicated to a track and serves as the album's credits. The PDF contains photography by Phillip Graybill and Rob Sheridan highlighting the recording process as well as the outside world. The Deluxe and Ultra-Deluxe Limited Edition of Ghosts I–IV will feature a hardcover booklet in a fabric slipcase. When purchasing the album in MP3 or Apple Lossless formats through nin.com, each track is embedded with unique track art that differs from the photograph in the PDF. While some of the images appear to be cropped from the larger PDF, most of the images are noticeably different.
Album Credits
Prior to the album's release photos taken in the studio and cryptic messages had been left on the front page of nin.com suggesting "secret things", however there was no mention of an actual album. Ghosts was released without prior warning when a message from Reznor appearing on nin.com announced that 'The new Nine Inch Nails record is available RIGHT NOW!' with a link to ghosts.nin.com where the album is available in various formats.
Ghosts I was uploaded to various torrent sites, most notably The Pirate Bay, with the following message included:

You probably know that those Salesgenie Super Bowl ads — you know, with the talking pandas as the Indian guy with seven kids — were produced by Vin Gupta, CEO of the parent company InfoUSA. Gupta, of Indian descent, allegedly wrote the ads himself, which many have decried as racist. (I just think they were painfully unfunny, which is the worst crime of all).
Gupta has recently apologized for the ads and pulled the panda one from the airwaves, but this whole thing is probably going exactly to plan.
1. Create racist commercials that are sure to cause controversy and be seen by millions;
2. Pull ads when outcry gets too loud;
3. Profit. (Gupta says his company will make $3 for ever dollar spent on the ads).
Sound sleazy? Well, InfoUSA is a data collection company that sells leads to telemarketers. Is there anything lower?
Gupta is taking to an extreme what marketers have known for years — that merely placing an ad on the Super Bowl broadcast can give a company enormous cachet. Small companies suddenly can appear formidable simply by shelling out the cover charge — an average of $2.7 million for 30 seconds of air time this year. "The beauty of our Super Bowl ad is, it's like being invited to the White House," Gupta said. "You have the bragging rights. Instant credibility."
And Mr. Gupta knows of what he speaks. He's a huge Hillary Clinton supporter who has donated millions to both Clintons since the 1980s. And he's been in trouble with his stockholders recently, with allegations that he has wasted funds on taking the Clintons on vacations in the private company jet. That's been bothersome to Hillary's campaign; which has distanced itself from Gupta in recent weeks.
So anyway, if some good is to come of all of this, perhaps it will be an end to fake Chinese accents. I've never found one remotely funny; not even when Asians do them (hello Margaret Cho). I'm sure George Lucas must agree.
And sue me if you wish, but I don't find pandas all that amusing either. You're gonna tell me to turn off my cell phone at the movies? Fur covered bastards ...

Aeros Shut Down B-Mets, 4-0
BINGHAMTON, NY – The Binghamton Mets struck out a season-high 16 times, and were shut out for the second time in 2013, in a 4-0 loss to the Akron Aeros Friday night at NYSEG Stadium.
Danny Salazar carved through the B-Met batting order, matching a career-high with nine strikeouts in his five shutout innings. The righty allowed just three base hits, and erased two of them with double-play balls in the win. The Akron offense did just enough against Rafael Montero to support Salazar's effort. With runners on the corners in the top of the third, Tyler Holt beat out a potential double-play ball which scored Ronny Rodriguez. Two batters later, Holt came around to score as Jesus Aguilar tallied his league-leading 23rd RBI with a single into centerfield.
Montero's night ended after five innings; he gave up the two runs and struck out eight. Adrian Rosario walked two of his first three hitters in the sixth, and allowed them both to score on a two-run double by Roberto Perez to give Akron a 4-0 lead.
The combination of Austin Adams and Bryce Stowell picked up where Salazar left off for Akron. Adams struck out four in his two innings on the mound, and Stowell punched out three more in the last two frames.
The B-Mets (11-10) continue their three-game series with the Aeros (9-12) Saturday afternoon at 1:05 PM. RHP Logan Verrett (3-0, 2.55) will start for Binghamton against LHP Matt Packer (0-2, 3.15) for Akron. The Horizons Federal Credit Union Pregame Show begins at 12:50 PM on Newsradio 1290 WNBF.
POSTGAME NOTES: Binghamton struck out 16 times for the first time since August 29, 2011 at Erie. Binghamton pitchers struck out a season-high 13 hitters. The 2-through-6 hitters in the Binghamton lineup finished 2-for-18 with 13 strikeouts.

McAfee, the US security software firm, has stumped up $20m cash for Onigma, a developer of data theft monitoring software.
This will form the basis of McAfee Data Loss Prevention, a new host-based service helping enterprises to spy on staff and contractors in case they leak company info or indulge in some intellectual property theft jiggery-pokery.
Also the service will help customers meet regulatory requirements for compliance and data protection, Onigma says. This help with the federal form-filling does not appear to extend to stock option declarations.

Subaru is taking a small crossover to the Frankfurt motor show in September, a production version of the XV concept it showed in Shanghai in April.
The XV concept is about the size of the Subaru Impreza. It will give the Japanese automaker another crossover, something smaller than the Outback and Forester crossovers in its lineup.
At Shanghai, Subaru officials said the XV was aimed primarily at emerging markets such as China. But Subaru was open to taking the small crossover to other markets, including the United States, based on consumer reaction.
The five-seat XV concept was fitted with a 2.0-liter horizontally opposed four-cylinder engine, a continuously variable transmission and Subaru's all-wheel drive. It measured 175.2 inches long and 70.9 inches wide, with a wheelbase of 103.7 inches and an overall height of 63.8 inches.

Peugeot is doing something very interesting at Pikes Peak. That's surprising because I find them to be the most boring car maker in Europe. Well, maybe Loeb can help.
If you think about it, Peugeot doing Pikes Peak is rather strange. Yes, they know quite a lot about building turbocharged rally monsters, but if you look at the French auto industry today, Peugeot seems to be lost in the middle.
If you want weird and wonderful, you get a Citroën. If you are after speed, Renault can help you. What was Peugeot's response to that? The new 208 GTI which is not bad but far from being a true successor to the legendary 205 GTI. Still, they somehow decided to build a 875 horsepower silhouette racer and hire the world's best (rally) driver to throw it around the Rockies, even if they don't sell cars to the US.
The Peugeot Sport team seems to be satisfied with the car so far, while Sebastien Loeb was just all over the place in the last few days:
Apparently, they didn't let him sleep too much, as "his alarm clock has gone off at 3:15am every day recently, in order to be up in the service area at around 4am, ready for action."
The Frenchman (and the PR team) had this to say:
I don't really like early mornings – who does – but this is certainly a pretty extreme way to wake up!
It's not like a race with a warm-up lap, or a rally with a road section, before you start here. You just sit in the car and bang! You're off at full speed straight away! Full speed in the 208 T16 Pikes Peak is something in the region of 240kph, thanks to an 875-horsepower engine and a power to weight ratio of one horsepower per kilogram. A car like this is actually never what you would call easy to drive, but that's what makes it so thrilling.
In the end though, we discovered some really useful things. I never had a chance to drive the whole mountain before – just sections of it – so the work we did on Friday, when we could go from the very bottom all the way to the top, was a really good taste of what was to come. And we had four potential tyre compounds to choose from, so we evaluated them all and selected the compound that we thought would suit the conditions best.
While he gets five days off before the show starts, the team keeps working on the car to make it as reliable as possible. They know that if it doesn't break down, Loeb is someone who can deliver the results.
Would you like to see a French victory in Colorado? I certainly wouldn't mind...

Eleven people were arrested after a day of protest in London saw anti-capitalists from the Occupy movement pitch tents outside the Bank of England.
The arrests were made for public order offences linked to the demonstrations, which led to around 10 tents being set up outside the banking institution, City of London Police said.
The protest by around 300 demonstrators was part of a global day of action in which thousands of people staged rallies in cities including Moscow, New York, Athens and Madrid, organisers said.
Protesters gathered outside St Paul's Cathedral for a rally before embarking on a "visiting the 1%" march which attempted to visit the offices of some of the largest banking institutions.
These included some of the largest firms in the financial heart of the capital, such as Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, RBS and Santander.
Occupy London supporter David Lincoln said: "The Bank of England stands right at the intersection of finance and government.
"In the light of Bank governor Mervyn King's recent comments about 'vested interests' standing in the way of reform of the financial sector, it is clear that that balance in the UK is fundamentally skewed.
"Hundreds of people gathering by the Bank of England is a powerful symbol of how things have to change."
The demonstrators were closely shadowed by City of London Police, who attempted to contain them on several occasions, leading to a number of minor skirmishes.
A police spokesman said protesters had been given a deadline of 5.45pm yesterday to leave the area outside the Bank of England. A handful remained in defiance of the order.
A force spokesman said: "We have a proportionate response in place."
Occupy claimed some police officers used "unreasonable force, including batons being drawn", as they marched around the City.
One protester at St Paul's, who gave his name only as Jamie, said they were taking "informed action".
He added: "There will be a walk through the city to meet some of the institutions we have identified as the beneficiaries of crisis, as the instigators of crisis from which we are all as a people, and as communities, suffering.
"We will go around and make our presence felt."
The new protest comes more than six months after members of campaign group Occupy London were prevented from occupying the square in heart of the City of London.
Instead, activists set up camp outside St Paul's Cathedral just yards away from the Stock Exchange and remained there for four-and-a-half months.
At the start of May police arrested five people after between 50 and 100 anti-capitalist protesters set up a temporary camp outside the London Stock Exchange following May Day demonstrations.
They moved into Paternoster Square with tents and supplies on May 1, but were forced to leave by officers several hours later.
The Occupy protesters were joined by members of Spanish protest group Indignados and Take the Square.
Protesters in Spain are aiming to occupy Madrid's central Puerta del Sol plaza for the next three days, despite the Government warning it will not allow any camping.
Occupy said they have planned another protest for this Tuesday, which will target the British Bankers' Association.

The hosts of this discussion, HASTAC scholars John Jones, Dixie Ching, andMatt Straus, explain the impetus for this conversation as follows:
As the educational and cultural climate changes in response to new technologies for creating and sharing information, educators have begun to ask if the current framework for assessing student work, standardized testing, and grading is incompatible with the way these students should be learning and the skills they need to acquire to compete in the information age. Many would agree that its time to expand the current notion of assessment and create new metrics, rubrics, and methods of measurement in order to ensure that all elements of the learning process are keeping pace with the ever-evolving world in which we live. This new framework for assessment might build off of currently accepted strategies and pedagogy, but also take into account new ideas about what learners should know to be successful and confident in all of their endeavors.
Topics within this forum conversation include:
- Technology & Assessment ("How can educators leverage the affordances of digital media to create more time-efficient, intelligent, and effective assessment models?");
- Assignments & Pedagogy ("How can we develop assignments, projects, classroom experiences, and syllabi that reflect these changes in technology and skills?");
- Can everything be graded? ("How important is creativity, and how do we deal with subjective concepts in an objective way, in evaluation?"); and
- Assessing the assessment strategies ("How do we evaluate the new assessment models that we create?").
The conversation has only just started, but it's already generated hundreds of visits and a dozen or so solid, interesting comments. If you're into technology, assessment and participatory culture, you should take a look. It's worth the gander.
Here's the link again: Grading 2.0: Assessment in the Digital Age.

I enjoyed the final final really the last Harry Potter movie just a few days ago. (I was surprised to find that the critics enjoyed it even more than I did.)
I won't spoil the end for anyone...in fact, I can't since the story is already published and everyone knows the good guys win after lots of action and magic.
As a vegan, I enjoyed this short video (by Ciddy Fonteboa) with some of the same great characters perhaps even more.... Don't miss the part about Severus Snape and the organic garden with the dragon dung compost pile!
Art like this is not just funny but represents a much-needed connection between serious vegan activism and mainstream culture.
More of Ciddy Fonteboa's work is here.

What do you get when you cross a hockey mom with a pitbull attitude? Wait, wait – I think I know this one. The answer is Sarah Palin. Shoot, really, I got that wrong? The correct answer is a bloody nose. At least that's what the woman with the rolling briefcase gets when she tangles with Agro Hockey Mom at a youth league match. As if getting hit by Palin Jr. wasn't bad enough, someone sneaks up behind her and slits her throat. The fake blood budget on this episode must have been through the roof.
Back in Maura's closet, the intervention continues. The first step is admitting it. I'm a homosexual and I don't need this many pairs of black high heels. Mama Rizzoli and Jane are there for moral support. Jane still has on the walking boot, so all it took was a real-life broken ankle and torn ligament to get some continuity on this show.
Mama R is helping her "clear the clutter" and cleanse her soul of her internalized homophobia/overabundance of shoes. Maura has actually hired her because these are the things you to do ingratiate yourself with your mother-in-law. Jane is there too because, of course she is.
They move on to Maura's dresses and she refuses to part with a blue dress because she had it tailored. Jane remembers being with Maura three years ago when she bought it because, of course she does. By the way she's sitting, Jane is also remembering what she and Maura were doing together in the closet before Mama R arrived. She's even making a remarkably similar face.
Her sweet memories get interrupted by the doorbell. Too bad, because it's going to be a while before Jane will get to make that face again if she keeps calling the dresses in Maura's closet "frumpy frocks." Though to her credit she also tells Maura she doesn't have to pay her mom to get on her good side. She's already letting her mother-in-law live at her house. That's above and beyond the bounds of being a good girlfriend.
At the door, more family drama arrives. It's Cailin, Maura's college-aged half sister/recipient of half of her kidneys. Jane and Maura's faces telegraphs the sad realization that there will definitely be no more nookie tonight at the Isles Estates. A mom and a sister under the same roof is just too much to overcome for any couple.
Cailin mopes in and drops her bags like she lives there already. Her mom is in Italy and all she got was this stupid T-shirt to wear while she is studying for finals. Then she asks if she can crash with Maura for a few days. Maura instinctively glances over at Jane. She gives her that, "I'm sorry, honey, I have to. I promise to make it up with lots of loud role-playing once she leaves." Cailin says her mom hired a babysitter which is just so lamesville. Jane thinks having to host a 19-year-old in her girlfriend's house is lamesville. Maura says OK, only to learn after saying yes that it'll be a three-week stay. Guess who's freaking out now.
I mean, have your half-sister over for a couple days is one thing. Be forced to go to your girlfriend's cramped condo for naked sexytimes for the next three weeks is entirely another. Just then the thump-thump, blare-blare of a 19-year-old's music fills Maura's home. And while she acts annoyed by the uninvited 100 decibels, secretly we know Maura is thrilled. This means they'll get to sneak in some naughty stuff after all. I mean, who can hear a little moaning over all that racket?
At the parking garage crime scene, the fellas are looking over the dearly departed's decidedly drenched in blood body. Frankie takes Jane and Maura's tardiness to the site – guess they decided to get in a quickie as long as the music is playing anyway – as an opportunity to get some training.

The one-time boyfriend Jodi Arias has admitted killing was "extremely afraid" of her before his death as she stalked him while he pursued other relationships, the prosecutor in her murder trial said Wednesday, attempting to discredit a defense witness who says Arias suffered domestic abuse.
Psychotherapist Alyce LaViolette has been testifying for more than a week about her conclusion that Arias was a victim of physical and emotional abuse.
Arias says the killing was self-defense, and that on the day of Travis Alexander's death in June 2008 at his suburban Phoenix home, he attacked her and she was forced to fight for her life.
However, no other evidence - other than Arias' accounts - have been presented at trial showing Alexander had ever been physically violent.
Authorities say Arias planned the attack. She initially denied involvement then blamed it on masked intruders. Two years after her arrest, she said it was self-defense.
She faces a possible death sentence if convicted of first-degree murder.
"Isn't it true that Mr. Alexander was extremely afraid of the defendant Jodi Arias based on her stalking behavior?" prosecutor Juan Martinez asked LaViolette on Wednesday.
LaViolette has repeatedly dodged Martinez's yes or no questions under cross-examination, explaining that he has been mischaracterizing her work.
"He was afraid of her, yes," LaViolette eventually conceded.
Martinez has been using electronic communications between Alexander and another woman to illustrate that fear. The prosecutor said in the exchange, Alexander says Arias has been stalking him.
Martinez reminded the witness of an instance after Arias and the victim had ended their formal dating relationship when the defendant came over to Alexander's home and peered in a back window. She saw Alexander "making out" on the couch with a woman.
"Isn't this stalking behavior," Martinez prodded.
"No," LaViolette replied.
Arias has said she continued a sexual relationship with the victim for months after their official breakup in June 2007.
Martinez also informed LaViolette of previous testimony from one of Alexander's friends that the victim wanted Arias to move away from Arizona after the breakup. Arias has said she broke it off, and that Alexander grew abusive.
"I just don't see stalking behavior," LaViolette insisted.
Arias has also said that a few months before the killing, she walked in on Alexander masturbating to photographs of young boys, yet there is no evidence to support her allegation.
Martinez pointed out how she continued to see Alexander for sex afterward and makes no mention of the incident in her detailed journals as he questioned whether it ever occurred.
"The journal doesn't make mention of anything about this incident, does it?" he asked.
"No, it does not," LaViolette replied.
"Other than the defendant's word, you really don't have anything that corroborates ... this allegation of child pornography, do you?" Martinez asked.
"No, I do not," LaViolette said.
Martinez is working to show that Arias is still lying in an attempt to discredit the witness's evaluation, which LaViolette has said was based in part on interviews with the defendant.
"Is there anywhere in the journals that you have seen where there's any indication whatsoever that Mr. Alexander physically hurt the defendant?" he asked.
"Most of the time, you have nothing more than someone's words," LaViolette said.
Later, defense attorney Jennifer Willmott reminded LaViolette that after the breakup, Alexander maintained contact with Arias, even inviting her to his home.
In January 2008, about five months before the killing, Willmott noted Alexander told Arias he loved her in a text message.
"Is that in any way behavior that supports him being afraid of her?" Willmott asked.
"Not that I can figure out," LaViolette said.
In fact, Willmott noted, Arias went to Alexander's home on the day of his death "at his beckoning."
"The fact that he would fall asleep and allow someone who he's supposedly afraid of to sleep next to him, is that typical behavior" of someone who is fearful? Willmott asked.
"No," LaViolette said.
LaViolette resumes testimony Thursday.
Alexander suffered nearly 30 knife wounds, was shot in the head and had his throat slit. Arias' palm print was found in blood at the scene, along with photos of her and Alexander from the day of the killing.
Arias said she recalls Alexander attacking her after a day of sex. She said she ran into his closet to retrieve his gun and fired in self-defense but has no memory of stabbing him.
She acknowledged trying to clean the scene, dumping the gun in the desert and working on an alibi. She said she was too scared and ashamed to tell the truth then but insists she isn't lying now.

One summer many moons ago, my grandmother Maw-Maw and I were cleaning out her attic. (This was my maternal grandmother, Ruth Anderson Ledford.) Over in one corner, hidden behind the detritis of several generations, was a chest of drawers. As best as I can remember, it had four drawers and was made entirely of wood, except perhaps for the drawer pulls. It was even held together by wooden pins rather than iron nails.
What was so remarkable about this piece of furniture was not its craftsmanship but the identity of its maker: My grandmother's paternal grandfather, Robert Alexander Anderson (1857 – 1928). Maw-Maw was not quite seven years old when R. A. died, so this piece was a treasure to her, a reminder of a man she had barely known.

In its first 18 years, the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International's annual aerial-robotics competition posed four successive challenges, which robotics researchers had to meet using entirely autonomous aerial vehicles -- no remote control allowed. The first challenge, which stood for three years, was to move a metal disc from one end of an arena to another. The fourth challenge was to travel three kilometers and find a way into a specific building: It stood for eight years. But this summer, for the first time in the competition's history, a challenge fell in its first year, to a team of students representing MIT's Robust Robotics Group.
The competition presented a scenario mimicking the aftermath of a nuclear meltdown. The aerial robot had to navigate its way through a window and into a maze simulating the hallways of an evacuated building, locate the control room, identify a gauge ostensibly indicating radiation levels, photograph it, and transmit the photo to a base station over a radio connection. Unlike the fourth challenge, the fifth denied the vehicles access to GPS data.
Kyle Snyder, AUVSI's senior technical director, said the MIT team's feat came as "a pleasant surprise" to members of his organization and to other industry experts.
"I talked to some of the industry folks that attended the competition," Snyder says, "and they said that there's no way they could have done what the MIT and Georgia Tech teams were doing. Especially the MIT team -- to actually pull together the sensors, the platform, and the understanding of what it was going to take to complete that mission. There's nobody out there that could have done it."
Competitors could use any type of aerial vehicle they chose, although, of course, it had to be small enough to operate indoors. Georgia Tech used a helicopter with two parallel rotors, and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University used an innovative vehicle with a single spinning wing, like the pod of a maple seed. The MIT team, which consisted of graduate students Abraham Bachrach, Ruijie He, and Sam Prentice and undergrads Anton de Winter and Garrett Hemann, used a battery-powered, off-the-shelf robot called a quad helicopter. The quad helicopter -- or "quad" for short -- is about two feet across and has a rotor at each of its four corners.
According to Nicholas Roy, the associate professor in the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics who directed the students' work, arming the quad with the software necessary to navigate a hallway required addressing "a fundamental research question." The quad's information about its immediate environment comes from a laser rangefinder that shoots out beams of light and gauges how long their reflections take to return. Since the lasers that emit the light lie in the same plane, they allow the quad to construct a two-dimensional map of its surroundings -- a cross-section as seen from above. But the quad is continually buffeted by disturbances in the air, and if it tilts slightly, the map can change dramatically.
The quad, however, is also equipped with gyros and accelerometers that can measure its motion in three dimensions, so its twisting and tilting can be correlated with the changes in its environmental map. The MIT team developed algorithms that can use those correlations to give the quad some three-dimensional information about its surroundings.
Because the twisting and tilting points the rotors in unanticipated directions, it causes the quad to drift, so the algorithms also had to be fast: they had to be able to build their maps before the quad's position changed too drastically. But in robotic control systems, gains in processing speed usually come at the expense of accuracy. To figure out exactly how much accuracy they could afford to give up, the MIT researchers tested their system in the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory's motion capture studio, a large room with regularly spaced cameras along the tops of its walls. They were thus able to compare the quad's own sense of its position with very precise external measurements, and they determined that, if the quad's onboard computer was performing well, it could gauge its position with an accuracy of about five centimeters -- exactly the margin of error that it had when passing through the window at the beginning of the competition.
The location-mapping software ran onboard the quad's own processor, but to assemble a higher-level map of the entire maze, the quad radioed its measurements to a nearby base station that ran what Roy calls the "planning algorithm." "One of our successes has been a planning algorithm that takes into account the fact that the sensor is limited," Roy says. He points out, for instance, that the laser rangefinder has a 120-degree blind spot and a range of only 30 meters. "When we fly down long hallways," Roy says, "the hallway may be longer than the maximum range. So down the corridor you see nothing, and you can build up a lot of speed very quickly without realizing it." The planning algorithm thus keeps the quad oriented so that the rangefinder's blind spot is directed at one of the side walls, so the quad can gauge its velocity by reference to the back wall -- or any other obstacle with a fixed position -- until the approaching wall comes into view.
Eric Johnson, faculty advisor to the Georgia Tech team that entered the competition, says that while the MIT team developed a "fantastic system," "there's plenty of work to be done to make that kind of system practical and usable." He points out, for instance, that "there's a lot that can be done to make the system more robust and faster," and that "another big detail to tackle is the 3-D aspect of it: although their system certainly could handle some aspects in three dimensions, I don't think it had what would be necessary to, say, go up and down stairs."
Roy agrees that "to do more three-dimensional operations -- to be able to find a desk and land on a desk -- the camera is clearly the right kind of sensor for that." In fact, he says, the quad that completed the AUVSI challenge was equipped to process data from its camera, "but we ended up not using it because we did not need it," he says. "In order to minimize points of failure, you turn off the things you don't need." But in his group's ongoing research, Roy says, "we are moving more and more toward integrating the camera and the laser."

If you are a mom or going to be a mom in the near future, you are busy planning, preparing and doing. To aide you in this, what better resource is there than the internet for inspirational ideas, advice, and amazing pictures on any topic. The challenge is that the internet can also be a black hole of sorts, with millions of websites, products, and blogs (just do a Google search on baby ideas and tell me which of the 315 Million results is most relevant to you?). How does one navigate this resource, and avoid being lost in the abyss?
For me, I have found a magic bullet for this challenge. It's called Pinterest. It's a great website for planning, organizing, and remembering those cool recipes, crafts, and other things you find on the world wide web by pinning photos, videos, and other content to virtual boards (while maintaining links back to the original site). You can also follow other user's boards for ideas and inspiration. This can be a great tool for doing any number of things, but I find it particularly useful for preparing for your new little one, including:
- Design a Nursery. You may cut out clippings in magazines, see displays at stores that inspire you, or find images on the web that you would like to incorporate in your new babies room. With Pinterest, you can create a board of such images (Pinterest Mobile allows you to pin things while out and about), and easily refer to this board when deciding on fabrics, furniture and accessories for the room.
- Meal Planning. Instead of "winging it" when it comes to dinnertime (same goes for your little one's lunchboxes), plan your menu based on allergies, health, budget, or just preferences when it comes to meals. The visual of what you've planned for the week can be much more inspiring when it comes to shopping and making the meals. And once you've pinned a number of recipes that you find appealing, you'll always have a collection of tasty treats you can cook when you or your little munchkins are hungry and looking for ideas.
- DIY House Projects. If your husband's honey-do list suddenly increases because of this one, he may not fall in love with Pinterest. But if you introduce one project at a time, he will love the on-line tutorials and ideas for fixing or designing almost anything around the house!
- Seasonal Inspiration. Fall is a great time of the year to get in the spirit and bring a little Halloween or fall décor into your house. Get inspired by visuals and step-by-step guides to creating the perfect fall haven in your home.
- Kid Fun and Craft. For those cozy rainy days, refer to the board you've been pinning with fun crafts to do with your kids. Show them different ideas and let them pick the one that looks the best to them!
- Organization Ideas. This is by far my favorite and most useful. I constantly hear of organization tips that I want to put to use. Before, I never could remember where I saw something or what it was. Now I just pin these ideas and try to complete one idea a week – organization saves time and money in the end!
- Themed Parties. Remember when I couldn't think of an idea my daughter's fourth birthday? This was before I discovered Pinterest, and although I was saved by readers, I can now refer to party ideas and see examples of them to boot.
- Sewing: Have you found a fabric you love and would like to incorporate it into your room or home. Search the pinboards for sewing ideas and either do-it-yourself, or have it done by a talented friend!
If you can't tell, I really like Pinterest. Let's put it this way, if Pinterest was a Sherpa, you'd be at the top of Mt. Everest in no time … no wait, if Pinterest was a rescue dog, with a little barrel of brandy around it's neck … no, that does not work either. Let's just say that Pinterest has been a big help to me in getting organized with some project ideas and has transformed the way I look at bookmarking on the web. Readers, have you discovered Pinterest and what's your favorite pin?

BEIJING: Ford Motor Co. unveiled a new Escort sedan designed in China for global sale at a Beijing auto show that highlighted the growing influence of Chinese tastes on the industry.
Automakers are looking to China's biggest auto show this year to help boost sales in this huge but cooling market. Total sales last year reached 17.9 million vehicles, but growth is expected to slow from 15.7 percent to as low as 8 percent, even as newcomers including Lincoln and Tesla enter the market.
The new Escort, a compact sedan with a 1.4-liter, four-cylinder engine, was designed at Ford's development center in China with features to appeal to local tastes. They include a bigger back seat for children and grandparents, lighter colors and cup holders made to fit iced tea bottles.
The Escort goes on sale in China this year, expanding later to other markets, said CEO Alan Mulally.
"I think it will sell around the world," Mulally said.
"But the real focus was led by the Chinese and what they wanted."
Ford joins a trend led by brands including GM's Cadillac unit that include features intended to appeal to Chinese tastes in models sold globally. Others such as Daimler Benz AG's Mercedes Benz are breaking from the industry trend of selling the same vehicles everywhere and are reworking models for sale in China with added back seat room and other features.
That is squeezing ambitious but inexperienced Chinese independent brands. Their first-quarter sales shrank 2.6 percent from a year earlier, while the overall market grew 7.9 percent.
Also this weekend, GM debuted a new version of the Chevrolet Cruze and displayed its Trax SUV, targeting China's booming sport utility market. Chinese SUV maker Great Wall Motors Co. unveiled its latest model, the Haval 8.
China's annual auto shows, held in Beijing and Shanghai in alternating years, have grown into some of the industry's most important commercial events.
Relatively strong Chinese sales helped to support the global industry while the United States and Europe slumped following the 2008 financial crisis.
Foreign brands are still piling into China, adding to already intense competition. Last week, Ford launched its luxury Lincoln brand in the country.
Lincoln says it plans to woo younger buyers with a service to allow them to make customized versions of any of its models.
On Saturday, Fiat SpA and its Chrysler Group LLC arm announced that their Jeep brand would begin manufacturing in China next year with Fiat's local partner, Guangzhou Automobile Group Co. That will allow Jeep to avoid steep import taxes.
At the auto show, Jeep displayed its Renegade model aimed at China's booming market for sport utility vehicles. Jeep CEO Mike Manley said the company plans to add about 50 dealerships this year to a network of about 250.
"It's clearly going to be the biggest market for SUVs in the world. And the good news is, that's all we do," Manley said.
"China is going to continue to grow even if it may slow down in the short term."
Automakers in China face challenges including curbs imposed by Beijing, Shanghai and other cities on the number of new registrations they allow in an effort to reduce eye-searing smog. That has prompted manufacturers to shift emphasis to smaller cities and the countryside, promoting smaller and lower-cost vehicles.
"We will see more cities with restrictive regulations," said Dietmar Voggentreiter, president of Audi China. "This we are reflecting in our planning."
Luxury manufacturers also are expanding their range to include more small vehicles for younger, well-heeled buyers.
On Sunday, Mercedes unveiled an extended version of its smaller C-series sedan. "The new model is sure to be one of our growth drivers in China," said Hubertus Troska, chairman and CEO of Daimler Greater China.
Other global automakers also showed vehicles that highlighted the role of Chinese creative talent at their design centers in China as well as consumer demand.
Nissan Motor Co. debuted a concept sedan, the Lannia, created by the Chinese staff of its Beijing design center. The company says China is a major element in its global turnaround plan.
"We're open to using Chinese people to design and shape the future of our cars, not just for China but for the world," said the company's chief planning officer, Andy Palmer.

The Project panel lets you use bins that helps you organize project content in much the same way as folders in Windows Explorer or Mac OS Finder. Bins can contain source files, sequences, and other bins.
As your project grows, you can make new bins to contain those items. While it is not necessary to create and use bins (especially with short-form projects), they are very useful for keeping your project files organized.
You can use bins in the following ways:
To store offline clips for batch capture.
To store main sequences and backup sequences.
To organize files by type, such as video, still images, and audio files.
These are the default behaviors of bins in the Project panel. You can change the last three bin default behaviors by editing bin behavior in general preferences.
You can sort and view bins present in the Project panel using the following ways:
- List view: All bins are listed vertically in a scrollable list. You can click the arrow to open the bins and view the files inside each bin.
- Icon view: All bins are listed horizontally in folders. You can click a folder to see the files inside. This view allows you to see exactly what type of file is inside the bin.
- Freeform view: This view allows you to organize your bins and files any way you like that works for you.
For more information on working with these views in the Project panel, see Customize the appearance of the Project panel.
- To add a bin, click the New Bin button at the bottom of the Project panel. You can also use the keyboard shortcut Control+/ (Windows) or Command+/ (MacOS).
- To delete one or more bins, select the bins and click the Delete icon at the bottom of the Project panel. You can also delete bins by selecting one or more bins, and then pressing the Delete key.
- Double-click to open a bin in its own dockable panel.
While working in a project, you may want to change the way you view your bins. In standard layout, you can see the hierarchy of your entire project, which is useful. However, sometimes you want to open a bin in its own tab, or open in a new panel. That way, you can focus on the clips in a particular bin, sort clips in storyboard order in icon mode, or search for clips within a bin by typing in the search field.
Some editors like the bin window overlapping the interface, while others prefer to see bins open in place, or in new tabs.
To open a bin in its own floating panel, in place, or in a new tab, do the following:
- To open a bin in a new tab, double-click the bin. This panel can be docked or grouped like any other panel.
- To open a bin in place, Ctrl-double-click (Windows), or Command-double-click (Mac OS) the bin.
- To open a bin in its own floating panel, Alt-double-click (Windows), or Option-double-click (Mac OS) the bin.
You can change the default behaviors of Project panel bins by editing the Bins preferences.
- To move an item into a bin, drag the item to the Bin icon. You can move bins into other bins to nest them. Dropping an item into a bin does not automatically open the bin.
- To display the contents of a bin, in List view, click the triangle beside the Bin icon to expand it, or double-click the bin.
- To show the contents of an enclosing (parent) bin when you're viewing only the contents of a nested bin, click the Parent Bin button in the Project panel. You can continue to click this button until the top-level contents of the Project panel appear.
- To open or close more than one bin at a time, Alt-click (Windows) or Option-click (Mac OS) multiple selected bins.
If you click New Bin multiple times in a row, each new bin is nested inside the previous new bin.
Labels are colors that help you identify and associate assets. You assign and view labels in the Project panel. Label colors mark assets in the Project panel's Label column and in a Timeline panel.
- To assign a label to an asset, select a clip in the Project panel, choose Edit > Label, and choose a color.
- To select all assets with the same label, select an asset that uses the label and choose Edit > Label > Select Label Group.
- To edit label names or colors, choose Edit > Preferences > Label Colors (Windows) or Premiere Pro > Preferences > Label Colors (Mac OS). To edit a clor, click a color swatch.
- To set default labels for a media type, choose Edit > Preferences > Label Defaults (Windows) or Premiere Pro > Preferences > Label Defaults (Mac OS).
Label defaults affect assets you add to the Project panel from the time you change the defaults; the command doesn't change label colors for assets already in the Project panel. To change label colors for assets already in the Project panel, use the Edit > Preferences > Label Colors (Windows) or Premiere Pro > Preferences > Label Colors (Mac OS) command.
All files in your project are stored on your hard disk as individual files. Only a reference to each file is added to the Project panel in Premiere Pro. Whenever you rename a clip in Premiere Pro, the original file and filename remain untouched on your hard disk.
When changing the name of your clip, the name of the source file does not reflect the change. Some users suggest entering the desired clip name in the "Description" Column instead so that the clip name and source file naming scheme is maintained. The drawback is that the clip name is not descriptive in the Timeline panel or in the Project panel in icon view. You decide which system would be more advantageous to your workflow.
You can change the name for a clip. Premiere Pro stores the clip name with the other clip properties in the project file. Changing the name of a clip does not change the filename of the source file for the clip.
To automatically store the new name also in the Title field of the Dublin Core metadata schema, first link the Clip Name property.
- In the Project panel, choose Clip > Rename, type the new name, and press Enter (Windows) or Return (Mac OS).
- In the Project panel, click the Name field, type the new name, and press Enter (Windows) or Return (Mac OS).
- In the Metadata panel, click the triangle next to Clip to show the clip properties fields. Type the new name into the Name field, and press Enter (Windows) or Return (Mac OS).
The Rename command is available when you right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) a clip in the Project panel, or in a Timeline.
You can consolidate duplicate media and folders that have the same name. Click Edit > Duplicates to consolidate all duplicated clips throughout the whole project. However, bins with the same name are consolidated only if they are on the same level of hierarchy.
You can remove assets you don't need from the Project panel without removing them from your hard disk.
When you use the Project > Make Offline command, you have the option of deleting the actual source file along with its reference in the project. (See Working with offline clips.)
You can change the poster frame of clips in Icon view. By default, the first frame of a clip appears in the thumbnail viewer and in other places in the project where the thumbnail is displayed. You can override the default thumbnail by designating any clip frame as a poster frame.
To set a poster frame for the icon, drag the playhead or shuttle to the desired frame, and then press the Shift+P (Windows) or Command+P (Mac OS) keys.
For more information, see Working in Icon view.
The thumbnail viewer in the Preview Area of the Project panel is hidden by default. Enable it in the panel menu of the Project panel.
You can edit the data in the editable cells, whether for clip properties or XMP metadata, for any clip in the Project panel. Premiere Pro stores data written to XMP metadata cells in the source files. However, it stores data written to clip properties cells in the project file, not into the source files. Clip properties data do not travel with the source files, and they are readable only by Premiere Pro.
By default, the Project panel displays only the clip properties. To write data that Premiere Pro stores in the source files, first add metadata columns to the Project panel display. See Customize List view columns.
- To save the new data, and to highlight the same cell in the next clip, press Enter (Windows) or Return (Mac OS).
- To save the new data, and to highlight the same cell in the previous clip, press Shift+Enter (Windows), or Shift+Return (Mac OS).
In Icon View of the Project panel, press Tab to highlight the filename of the next asset and to place it in editing mode.
Premiere Pro includes clip analysis tools that you can use to evaluate a file in any supported format stored inside or outside a project. For example, after producing a video clip to be streamed from a web server, you can use clip analysis tools to determine whether a clip you exported has an appropriate data rate for Internet distribution.
The Properties panel provides detailed information about any clip. For video files, analyzed properties can include the file size, number of audio channels, duration, frame rate, audio sample rate, average data rate, and codecs. The Properties panel does not show all these properties for every clip. The file format of the clip that is examined determines the data shown in the Properties panel.
- If the clip is in the Project panel, select it to display a subset of its properties in the preview area at the top of the Project panel.
- If the clip is not in the project, choose File > Get Properties For > File. Locate and select the clip you want to analyze, and then click Open.
You can also view clip properties in the Source Monitor, Timeline panel, or Project panel by right-clicking (Windows) or Control-clicking (Mac OS) a clip and choosing Properties.
- If the clip is in the Source Monitor, Timeline panel, or Project panel, select it and choose File > Get Properties For > Selection.
You can determine the field order for a clip in the Preview Area of the Project panel. In the Preview Area, and next to the clip, you can view information about the clip. Next to the timecode information, the field order is listed.
- LFF indicates a lower-field first field order for the clip.
- UFF indicates an upper-field first field order for the clip.
The Preview Area is hidden by default. Enable it in the panel menu of the Project panel.
You can determine if a clip has interlaced or progressive scanning in the Preview Area of the Project panel. In the Preview Area, and next to the clip, you can view information about the clip. Next to the timecode information, an indicator for interlaced or progressive scanning can be seen.
- "i" indicates that the clip has interlaced scanning.
- "p" indicates that the clip has progressive scanning.
You can use the Interpret Footage command to change the frame rate that Premiere Pro assumes for a clip. When changing the frame rate of a clip, audio is changed, in addition to the video. Changing the frame rate changes the original duration proportionally. For example, if you set a 10-second, 24-fps clip to 48 fps, it becomes half as long, with a new duration of 5 seconds. Clip frame rate is reconciled with the sequence frame rate. For example, if you change a 24-fps clip in a 24-fps sequence to 48 fps, the sequence displays only every other frame of the clip.
You can also change clip speed and duration by choosing the Clip > Speed/Duration command for a clip selected in a Timeline panel. However, such a change affects only that clip instance in a Timeline panel. Using the Interpret Footage command changes how a file is interpreted throughout a project.

Nick Burton necesitaba un nuevo diseño de otro y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 1 diseños de 1 diseñadores freelance.
Nick Burton
I'm a Computer Science student from Melbourne, Australia and an Android developer. I'm launching a free application that provides a home-screen widget for Foursquare users to easily/regularly view their stats, e.g.
- number of mayorships
- number of badges
- check-ins this week
- last seen at: venue
- the Foursquare logo
- and (maybe - not essential) total nights out and total check-ins
Those with a knowledge of Android widget design preferable. Widget design guidelines can be found here: http://developer.android.com/intl/f…esign.html
What I need from you is:
1) a background to encapsulate the widget (PNG file)
2) a series of mockups on how the widget could be arranged
Re 1) it could be a semi-transparent background or a textured surface, e.g. metal. I'd lean more towards the transparent style.
Re 2) I've provided you with the available assets but feel free to create others if needed (not essential). I've also provided you with:
- my own amateur attempt at a 4x1 widget mock-up [more on WxH sizing below]
- widget .psd files for sizing purposes only (note: the 2x1 widget frame was just me attempting to collapse to 2x2 by hand - when you create designs for the 2x1, please make it exactly half the height of the 2x2)
A few notes:
- I'm a big fan of widgets that seem to use a layered approach or give a feeling of depth (IMPORTANT: refer my circled favourite in the files provided. This is a favourite look/feel, not necessarily size).
- refer to the widget guidelines for image quality, but the background should be PNG-24 and 8-bit color.
- feel free to experiment with making the numbers words instead of numbers, i.e. "five" mayorships instead of 5.
- 2x1, refers to Width by Height and translates into pixels as follows:
1 wide = 80 px
1 high = 100 px
2 wide = 160 px
2 high = 200 px
IMPORTANT: feel free to experiment with various sizes but the most important ones are: 4x1, 2x1 and 2x2 in that order.

Additional Food Equipment Services
- Overview
- Services
- Why Work With NSF?
NSF has a reputation for providing trusted testing and certification of food equipment products and materials. Over the years, we expanded and customized these services to suit the industry's needs. Our services include field evaluations, pre-evaluation, consulting and training.
While we may be best known for sanitation testing and certification of foodservice equipment, we offer a range of other services to help design, assess or validate your product:
- Field Evaluation – When using a certified product isn't an option but you still need an assessment of a foodservice equipment product, consider an NSF field evaluation. This is a physical evaluation only, typically performed on large non-certified products onsite in restaurants. We issue a report within two weeks of our evaluation, which you can submit to a regulatory official who determines if the product meets requirements. This service provides added confidence in the product's safety but does not allow use of the NSF mark.
- Pre-Evaluation – Certification can be a daunting undertaking, and foodservice manufacturers new to the process are often unsure whether their product meets the design requirements of NSF's foodservice equipment standards. Our pre-evaluations assess products before certification to identify any non-conformances. We then let the manufacturer decide whether to move forward with certification or consider product changes.
- Consulting – From guidance on foodservice equipment product design or material selection to challenges with your product manufacturing process, our industry savvy consultants provide custom solutions to help get your products to market.
- Training – NSF provides classroom and on-site training on NSF food equipment standards and certification. See NSF Training & Education for more information.
Why Work With NSF?
With nearly 70 years of experience in foodservice equipment, developing dozens of standards and certifying thousands of food equipment products, NSF's technical expertise is unparalleled.
If you have a new or innovative product, material or design, we can provide guidance and help you work through any potential challenges. Our expert staff can answer questions about regulatory acceptance or international requirements for restaurant equipment. Our knowledge and experience helps you get your product to market more quickly.

How can I verify that a product is NSF certified?
NSF certified product listings are free to access on our public listings website. Listings are updated daily.
Once my product is certified, can I use the NSF mark in reference to that product on my marketing materials and brochure?
Absolutely! While marking is typically required to be placed on the product itself, you may use the NSF mark in your product marketing including brochures, websites, trade show promotions and sell sheets.
Why should I choose NSF to certify my foodservice equipment products?
Only NSF offers the full package – assured acceptance, dedicated customer service with a single point of contact and technical expertise from an organization with nearly 70 years of experience working in foodservice equipment.
Does my product have to be NSF certified?
NSF does not regulate or require that your product be certified. However, U.S. health departments, end users and buyers often specify NSF certification to ensure that products have been evaluated and tested, and comply with public health standards.
What is NSF food equipment certification?
NSF certification is an ANSI-accredited product-level certification that addresses the acceptable sanitation requirements for equipment and materials intended for commercial foodservice.
- We've worked with NSF for 18 years and have had almost all our products NSF certified. The widely accepted NSF mark, easy-to-navigate listings and dedication of our project manager have saved us time and money, and helped our products stand out.Jim Tuyls, Automatic Bar Controls
- A customer directed us to get NSF certification and we were blown away by the seamless and stress-free experience. Our dedicated project manager delivered fast and personable service, often addressing our questions and concerns within a few hours!Steve Welter, Watlow Electric Manufacturing

Sandy: Pennsylvania Braces for Powerful Winds, Rain
Pennsylvania residents and business owners battened down the hatches Saturday as emergency officials warned of high winds and flooding rains with Hurricane Sandy spinning up the East Coast.
State emergency officials were particularly concerned about the potential for strong winds that, when combined with rain-soaked ground, could easily knock over trees and power lines.
"We're facing a very real possibility of widespread, prolonged power outages," said Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency spokeswoman Ruth Miller after officials conferred with National Weather Service offices serving the commonwealth.
"People need to be getting supplies to prepare themselves for several days in their home without power," she said.
Emergency officials said the rain and wind could hit the state beginning Sunday afternoon, with heavy rainfall Monday and Tuesday, totaling up to 6 inches in the Philadelphia region. Winds of 35-45 mph and stronger gusts are expected Monday, said meteorologist Valerie Meola of the National Weather Service office in Mount Holly, N.J. Central and western Pennsylvania should get less rain and weaker winds.
Gov. Tom Corbett declared a disaster emergency on Friday, activating the state Emergency Operations Center and authorizing the transfer of $5 million in surplus funds to pay for disaster-related expenses.
In Philadelphia, the American Red Cross was setting up emergency shelters Saturday at three schools: West Philadelphia and Roxborough high schools and Samuel Fels elementary school.
Up north in Muncy Valley, business owner Rich Fry prepared for another bout of brutal weather, remembering how floodwaters from Tropical Storm Lee inundated Katie's Country Store last year. Fry moved materials out of the way in between helping customers Saturday.
"Getting a little better jump on things," he said. "Moving things so I have less damage and less loss."
Fry said he was disappointed that the creek across the road from his shop hadn't been dredged out "so we don't have this problem over and over and over."
"Right now, from where I'm standing, I can see a gravel pile that was not there before the flood," he said. "It's 5 or 6 feet high and 20 feet wide. If that wasn't there, that would be several inches of rain that wouldn't affect me."
Fry said he was still trying to recover from the storm losses from last year. He and his wife, Deb, estimated the store suffered a $35,000 loss in merchandise. "It will take a lot of years to cover that," Fry said.
To the south in Lancaster County, workers at the Twin Kiss restaurant in Manheim also were wary of a repeat of the flooding that sent more than 4 feet of water into the establishment.
"We started moving stuff up. Everything's off the floor," shift manager Sarah Welsh said. "And we have picnic tables in the back, so we started taking them apart. We're not going crazy about it, but we're a little worried."
The business had to close after Lee, but only took three or four days to recover.
"We had a lot of people helping us," Welsh said.

Sphere and sustainability: A matter of time
The Sphere standards have been devised to ensure that people affected by disasters will receive an adequate level of assistance; these standards are used across the world and apply both to natural and complex emergencies. The latter tend to be lasting events that often create a displacement of the population and it is argued that in such situations, where prolonged assistance is required, the Sphere standards may be counterproductive. By using examples of water supply interventions, it is highlighted that in some circumstances the Sphere standards for water quality may only be achieved with systems too complex for the displaced population to operate and maintain on their own. The case of two war-affected areas of Eastern Chad are presented to illustrate the importance of the temporal aspects of the Sphere standards in complex emergencies, and raises important questions regarding the long-term sustainability of adopting such standards for displaced populations.

Quote:Eyrie,This illustration shows a bit of what you are reffering too. It builds off the spear hand and then locks the wrist and uses the turn for a throw.
Quote:Going back to the idea of movement... I don't think it is so much that arts should not be stagnant but more that people should not be. At some stages of development people are very concrete and it is appropriate. When they begin to see grays instead of blacks and whites the are becoming more able to think abstractly. I think part of the challenge of teaching the whole individual is helping to usher them into a greater ability for abstraction and flexibility in thinking. Part of the task is biological and part is cognative. When the brain is ready the teacher and the techniques appear.
