It's been one month since I've entered the Rescue Squad. In that short amount of time, my body has changed greatly.
First of all, my physical ability has greatly improved. This was definitely the result of going through all that hellish training. All the parts of my body have been thoroughly tempered from sprinting, push-ups, sit-ups, and running up the stairs. After finishing this training course, for the first time, I felt like I had really obtained the qualifications to join the Rescue Squad.
According to Rose, the reason for completely tempering the body was for quickly escaping from enemies on the battlefield. That didn't mean that all this is for running away, of course; it was actually for the sake of being able to carry the wounded out at full speed.
"The faster you can help them, the more lives we can potentially save", that was how Rose phrased it during training.
"Well, that's true" is what most people would think, but putting it into practice was considerably difficult. The wounded that are left on the battlefield had to be directly transported and carried back. It'd be meaningless unless you had the courage as well as the ability.
Being able to understand that after being here for one month, I enthusiastically told myself, "I'll do my best in today's training!"
"We're going out."
Give back my enthusiasm, please.
…If I think about it, ever since I was summoned to this world, the sad reality was that I had only been to the castle and the Rescue Squad's lodgings.
After all, I was abducted from the very day I set foot here. Although I didn't know her intentions, for the time being I should accompany Rose.
The other group members will be doing their individual menus and won't be coming along with us. Good grief, they were such pitiful creatures, but inside I was sneering at them in ridicule.
"Hold on to this."
Rose passed me a large rucksack, it was about my height.
"What's this?" I asked, but Rose headed for the gate towards town without a word.
Nn? What was it, Tong? Your face looked like a soldier seeing off his comrade to their death. If it was nothing, then it didn't really matter.
"What's wrong? Come quickly."
Rose was waiting for me at the entrance. Somehow, I had an unpleasant hunch. A tremendously unpleasant hunch. It'd be too bothersome to oppose her; I better follow her for now.
Visiting a town for the first time was a fresh experience for me. There weren't an abundance of appliances here like in my world, but there were markets lined with shops like the ones I saw as a kid.
"Lyngle Kingdom is a country with prospering commerce. There are a lot of people that come to work here from other countries."
"Is that so… Ah…"
In a shop that was selling fruits was a girl with fox-like ears. She
acted a bit suspiciously for someone that was tending a shop.
She was one of the beast folk, right?
I had heard about them before but seeing one right in front of me, somehow I was deeply moved.
"Don't stare at the beast folk so much idiot. I know it's unusual for you, however, it's very unpleasant for them. It would be even possible for you to be apprehended and taken to their country."
"Ah, I'm sorry."
Certainly, this wasn't an exhibition or anything. It'd be impolite to have kept gawking like that.
As I was about to turn my eyes away from the beast girl, our eyes unexpectedly met. The girl's eyes opened wide and her gaze was fixed on my face… This was—
"…Cuteness is justice."
"Wa? What did you say? Don't utter incomprehensible things."
"Ah, dehh!?"
Please don't suddenly tap my forehead.
Nn? But I haven't seen any other beast folk for a while now aside from that girl…
"You're probably thinking there should be more demi-humans and beast folk here since there are a lot of people working away from their homelands. However, the journey is the problem. Bandits, kidnappers, hired killers, you have to be mindful of trash like that. While they target demi-humans, beast folk are especially targeted since among them, some have very valuable abilities. In addition, they're highly valued as slaves because of their appearance."
"Of course, having slaves is illegal in this country but… there are places out there that allow it. You understand?"
"Well, more or less."
I understand but I couldn't give my consent. Something like slavery for an ordinary person like me, there was no way I could completely approve of it you know!
Which reminded me, just some time ago I had a look at the world map. The beast folk's country was really far from the Lyngle Kingdom.
"For those that do come here, isn't it really difficult for them?"
"That's right.. We're heading to the next place."
As usual, I had no clue what Rose was up to.
Suddenly, I sensed something and looked back to the beast girl. She was still looking at me without averting her gaze at all, only single-mindedly looking my way.
…It was a little eerie, let's hurry up and go.
After that, I followed Rose without looking back.
Upon leaving the marketplace, we arrived in front of a large gate.
Arh? Could it be that the towns nowadays all have that? That was pretty amazing, it was double structured so the town had an inner layer…
…There was no way that could be it! No matter how you looked at it, this was the way out of the kingdom!!
Rose called out to the guards standing watch by the gate. In this one month, I had noticed something. No matter who Rose talked to, they will always have a change in their expression. After all, I could clearly see the fright on their faces right now.
"Ou, it's been awhile, Thomas."
"Ro-Rose-san, good afternoon! What sort of business do you have here today!"
"Good afternoon, I was just thinking about showing my subordinate the outskirts."
If I translated this, it would be "Open the gate now."
As expected of Rose, just her presence gave the gate guards cold feet.
"We'll open it right now!"
"Rose-san, you're talking like a hoodlum. Ah, erm it's nothing, forget what I said."
Having spent a month with her, I picked up how far I could take it before she snapped.
The gate guards opened the passage, I thought I saw something glittering near their eyes. As I passed through the gate, I bowed my head in sympathy to the gatekeepers.
"Rose-san, where are we headed right now?"
"To a forest with monsters."
"It'll be approximately 2 hours before we reach it."
I'm sorry. I didn't comprehend your words.
Eh, don't tell me what I'm carrying right now is a campground set!?
You're making me spend the night in this forest roaming with monsters!?
Are you a kichiku1 ogre!?
Completely ignoring me, Rose steadily walked on the mountain trail.
No, wait a moment. She didn't say it was going to be a survival situation! I shouldn't abandon all hope yet!!
"We've arrived."
Before us was a somewhat gloomy forest.
Looking at the forest from the edge of a cliff, Rose was behind me with her arms folded.
"This forest is also known as 'Dark Lyngle'. Don't return until you've hunted a Grand Grizzly and brought it back. There's no time limit."
It seemed like I was really being thrown into a survival situation. Wait, in that book I read, a Grand Grizzly, that's a blue grizzly bear that's lived for a hundred years… Wasn't that an extremely dangerous monster bear!? You really hated me right!?
"Nope, there's no way I would hate you, don't you agree?"
"Ahh, so troublesome. I'll just tell you the main point, don't come back until you bring back a bear. Right now, a Grand Grizzly is something you can easily bring down. Leave your valuables and food supplies here with me, understood?"
"Nou!? Nooo, don't lift me up!"
I shaked my head vigorously, however, Rose nonchalantly carried me along with my rucksack.
This woman, just how much strength did she have!? Ahh no, stop that baseball-like pose—
Gururu. I was thrown away while spinning in the sky.
Moreover, because Rose was so strong, I wasn't slowing down at all. If this continues, was I going to die like this?
Cause of Death: thrown by the Rescue Squad's leader.
That wouldn't be funny…
As I started to slow down, I descended down into the mountains. Below me were all kinds of trees in an overgrown forest.
There was no way I was letting myself die like this…
I turned myself around. Facing the sky, I regained my balance. On my back was the large rucksack. I could soften the impact with this. While protecting my face with my hands and preparing for the crash, I was literally flung into 'The Beast's Den' prowling with monsters.
The impact of the landing wasn't as strong as I expected. While there was the fact that the trees broke my fall, it was also thanks to this pointlessly large rucksack.
However, I'm never going to thank that woman. Until I bring a Grand Grizzly back, she would probably just throw me back here.
"It's annoying but I guess don't have a choice but to do as Rose says and bring down a Grand Grizzly."
It was only a bear 2 metres tall, after all. I had survived the hell training, compared to that, some bear will be easy—
Somewhere from the forest, I heard a great beast's roar. Shortly after, heavy footsteps thudded, getting louder and louder as they got closer to me
From there, I escaped with a momentum of a startled rabbit. Even if I'm an Usato, this was…!2
"Humans can't win against a beast's physical strength after all!! In any event, I will have to use my head and strategize how to bring it down!!"
"It's chasing after me!?"
Looking behind me, there was a large, white bear about 3 metres in size. It was a Grand Grizzly running on all fours towards me.
I encountered my target the moment I entered the forest, but this was way scarier than I imagined.
I had never seen such a big bear with claws and fangs like these even at the zoo!
"What should I do what should I do what should I do!?"
What should I do against a bear?!
1. Playing dead… It was an urban legend with some credibility but somehow I had a feeling I'll be eaten if I actually tried.
2. Hold a bell and drive it away… I didn't have one.
3. Run away… I had some confidence in my legs.
The strategy was decided. I could only escape!!
I ran. A bear like you, you actually thought you could match my speed!?
"You're keeping up!? Hieeeh!"
Turning behind, I could tell it caught up.
It was a bit late at this point but I recalled from a TV program I watched long ago that a wild bear's running speed could go anywhere from 40 km/h to 60 km/h.
Applying it to the monstrous bear here, I could assume it was capable of an even more terrifying speed… Wasn't this really dangerous?!
"…That's fine with me, I'll have a one-on-one match with you bear!! If you want to eat me, just try and get me!! I'll pull you apart!! Come he—"
"…Increasing your numbers is cowardly!"
That was unfair!
Running along the Grand Grizzly now were several other blue bears. Before I noticed it, they multiplied!
What were you, a matryoshka doll!?3
"Shit! This rucksack is a hindrance!"
However I couldn't drop this. There should be necessary survival tools inside.
The weight seemed like it was about a 100 kg. I was slightly worried about what was crammed in there since it was this heavy, but it was Rose after all. Surely there was something useful, I'll believe it.
"How long am I going to be running for…"
Or perhaps I should say, I wonder if I'm even making it out of this forest.
1. Kichiku means brutal or demon-like.
2. His surname Usato also has a character which means rabbit.
3. Russian nesting doll. >>>Matryoshka doll Wikipedia
Shiru: Classes recently started for me but I'll still translate when I can afford to. This chapter has only been a rough edit by me. For those still asking, yes you are free to use my English translations and translate them to another language.
Happy translating. 🙂

FS#1936 - ver 3.23 not saving font information
The attached file is not saving font preference.
All fonts on the online layer are reported as the standard font. If I highlight one or all of the text entities and change the font to something like Yu gothic light, the property page reports yu gothic light and the screen reflects the changed font.
If I save, close and reload, the fonts for all text is again "standard".
So then I try to enter new text via the "A" draw text command icon. I select "Broadway.ttf" as the main font in the text entry dialog.
One word "Broadway" is entered as the text. it appears on the upper left of the screen as expected and the font name is Broadway in the property editor. If I look at the dxf file source there is a whole bunch of text styles.
I save and close the file, and then open it again. Now the word Broadway has changed to font name "standard" in the property editor and is very definitely not the Broadway.ttf font.
I am not the originator of the file, I am just trying to change the font. If I start a new file and enter new text the font saves just fine, so I am thinking it is a setting somewhere, but I am unable to find it.
We (me and my customers) use these files for engraving so exact font is critical.

Authors Guild Concerned With Kindle 2 Read-to-Me
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Misc. Tech
Amazon has run some opposition with its Kindle 2's text-to-speech function. The Authors Guild claims that Read-to-Me may violate authors' rights. Executive director Paul Aiken said, "They don't have the right to read a book out loud. That's an audio right, which is derivative under copyright law."
The Guild is worried that audio book sales will be compromised by the feature, but we all know that hearing an electronic voice isn't even close to that of the author or other human reader. We don't think they really have to worry at this point, do you?
You can pick up a Kindle 2 at Amazon now.

Develop the Character of a Leader
- Whitney Hopler Crosswalk.com Contributing Writer
- 2007 11 May
Editor's Note: The following is a report on the practical applications of Jeff Iorg's new book, The Character of Leadership: Nine Qualities that Define Great Leaders, (B&H Publishing, 2007).
You're likely working your hardest to accomplish many tasks as a leader. But no matter what you achieve, you can't be truly successful unless you develop strong character along the way. That's because leadership isn't about what you do – it's about who you are.
Leadership assignments are laboratories for God to transform you to become more like Jesus. So shift your focus from doing things for God to inviting God to do things in you. When you do, you'll see nine key character traits begin to emerge. Here's how you can develop them:
* Maintain integrity. Understand that integrity means acting the same in every situation, with every group of people. Do your best to say what you mean, mean what you say, do what you say, and mean what you do. Align your attitudes, words, and actions with biblical truth, so you can operate with good moral ethics in every area of your life – home, work, school, etc. Submit every part of your life to Jesus, remembering that He is the one to whom you are ultimately accountable. Recognize that you don't own your leadership position; you simply manage it, because everything you have is a gift from God. Do your best to take care of your job while you have it, keeping in mind that your work is just temporary and you have a responsibility to accomplish the most you can in the limited time you have. Trust God to work through other people in your church or ministry's accountability structure to correct, guide, and direct you. Respect the accountability system around you, and cooperate with it. Spend time regularly in devotional Bible reading and prayer. Don't let burnout tempt you to mar your integrity; get the renewal you need by taking a weekly Sabbath rest. Stay connected to God through regular times of worship, and invite Him to infuse you with His strength as you worship Him.
* Find security. Get to know who you truly are and what God has made you to do. Don't waste time or energy looking for security in places that won't ultimately deliver, such as through accomplishments or relationships with people. Instead, look for it in the right place – your relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Remember that no one can take away the eternal security you have because of your relationship with Jesus. Know that your security will stand strong no matter what challenges or crises come your way. Celebrate the fact that, when you derive your sense of security from God, you break free of being controlled by any lesser force (like materialism) that you might otherwise turn to for security. Ask God to give you the confidence you need to lead well. Don't be afraid to say "no" to requests without feeling guilty. Be willing to take risks and learn from failure. Trust other people to make decisions rather than trying to over-manage your ministry. Keep your work in perspective, realizing that it is just one part of your life as a whole. Ask God to help you properly balance the various roles you fulfill in the different parts of your life. Renew your mind by memorizing key Scripture passages about security.
* Maintain purity. Realize that building moral purity and protecting it throughout your life is vital to your current effectiveness and future legacy as a leader. Invest plenty of time and energy into your marriage to help prevent being pulled into an affair or an addiction to pornography. Limit your exposure to immoral influences in the media. Carefully choose the types of television and movies you watch. Place Internet filters on your computer. Ask people you trust and respect to help keep you accountable to standards of purity. Check in with your spouse often and make sure your spouse knows your schedule every day. Protect yourself from the appearance of immorality through such simple steps as: avoiding hosting people of the opposite sex socially, or being alone with them in professional settings; counseling people of the opposite sex carefully; placing a window in your office door; giving unlimited access to your computer to your colleagues and operating it in the open; and avoiding touching members of the opposite sex so your actions can't be misinterpreted. If you've already compromised your moral purity and need to be restored, be honest about your mistake, confess it, and take full responsibility for it. Stop what you were doing completely and move purposefully away from the sin and toward God, praying for the healing you need, and reaching out to people you trust for support and encouragement.
* Learn humility. Know that humility isn't about debasing yourself; instead, it's seeing yourself as God sees you. Accept the identity and mission that God has given you. Be comfortable with who you are. Balance the way you view yourself, realizing that you're both a sinner who can do nothing apart from God's power and a saint who should use the spiritual gifts you've been given. Regularly remind yourself that you don't have anything that you didn't receive from God, either directly or indirectly. Own your strengths and acknowledge your weaknesses. Establish a regular habit of prayer and be aware of how often you rely on the strength God provides in answer to your prayers. When you can, kneel while you pray. Pray with other people sometimes, confessing your needs to them and asking them to pray for you. Constantly seek to learn, through such means as reading personal development books, participating in conferences or conventions even when you're not preaching or teaching, and seeking advice from colleagues you trust before you make major ministry decisions. Focus on getting your work done well, regardless of who gets the credit, rather than trying to take credit for yourself. Acknowledge what God and other people have done for you, and express your gratitude often.
* Become a servant. Check your motives for serving in a leadership position. Recognize that guilt, duty, and money are the wrong motives for serving. Instead, let your love for God and other people motivate you to serve. Create a personal mission statement (a one-sentence statement of God's unique assignment for you) to clarify your purpose as a leader. Read the Bible to understand God's mission in the world and how you contribute to that. Ask friends and family members to evaluate your strengths and weaknesses. Ask yourself questions like: "What do I really enjoy?", "What am I really good at?", "What does God bless when I do it?", "What is really special or unique about me?", and "What am I doing that is not very productive?". After thinking and praying about the insights you've received, write your mission statement. Be flexible enough to adjust your mission statement over time. Make sure that your mission makes good use of your personality, gifts, abilities, calling, training, experiences, and character. Apply your mission to your unique ministry setting so there's a good fit. If you're having trouble being motivated properly, shape your motives by choosing to do a dirty job and learning from it, undertaking a task anonymously, serving an enemy, or choosing to make someone else successful.
* Gain wisdom. Understand that wisdom isn't reserved for certain people or groups of people; it's available to anyone, and you can develop it now, regardless of your age or situation. Decide to become a lifelong learner, realizing that gaining wisdom is a gradual process rather than a one-time event. Seek God as the source of wisdom. Ask God to help you develop the discernment to clearly separate His true wisdom from the world's false wisdom. Read the Bible often to discover how God works and learn how to apply biblical principles to your life. Pray frequently for wisdom. Learn from wise people who you respect and admire for their maturity. Measure your growth in wisdom by several benchmarks: growing in your ability to see life's situations from God's perspective; able to relate biblical principles to challenging situations; choosing the best behavior over license in questionable situations; and having a growing humility about your decisions, positions, perspectives, and insights.
* Practice discipline. Develop the ability to regulate your behavior by principle rather than impulse, reason rather than emotion, and long-range results rather than immediate gratification. Work to master a difficult area in your life, such as breaking the control your appetite has over you by fasting until you can exercise more self-control when you eat. Choose just one area of your life to focus on for a yearlong project, such as saving a significant amount of money each month to break a spending habit. Join some other people to work on another project to accomplish a reasonable, shared goal, such as memorizing a certain amount of Scripture by a certain time. Notice how the discipline you develop from your projects spills over into other areas of your life. Replace bad habits with good ones over time. Learn how to control emotions like grief and anger.
* Show courage. Know that, as a leader, you won't be immune to fear, but you can learn to manage your fears so you can move forward despite them. Realize that your salvation experience with Jesus breaks the power of sin in your life. Remember that God is with you all the time – even when you preach, when you lead a difficult meeting, when you referee relational conflicts, when you make controversial decisions, or when you face competing agendas. Memorize key Scripture verses about fear and use them to confront your fear with the truth. Remember that what you imagine might happen to you is generally not as bad as what actually does happen to you. Instead of worrying about your concerns, pray about each of them. If you sense God leading you to take action on something, go ahead and do so even if you still feel afraid, trusting that He will help you. Rest securely in God's love, knowing that as you do, confidence will replace your fear. Obey God, understanding that doing so will render many fearful situations irrelevant.
* Sustain passion. Recognize that passion is much deeper than a feeling – it's a force that God ignites for ministry and propels your service. Ask God to help you see people as He views them. Accept people as they truly are instead of who you would like them to be, and work with them despite their flaws. Relate to people on their terms; rather than expecting them to come to you, go to where they are and enter their world to build genuine friendships with them. Listen more than you talk. Discover people's real needs, and help meet them. Commit yourself fully to the people you're currently ministering to instead of holding back while you look for a better assignment. Give your best effort to where you are right now, and expect God to ignite your passion in the process. Don't let burnout steal your passion. Be sure to take a Sabbath rest each week, retreat occasionally, and take a vacation every year.

Our TV show Hello World is out and about now. I'm basically getting to go after my dream job for a few months, traveling the world and interviewing scientists and inventors. Each episode focuses on a different country and tries to explain how that place's culture has informed their vision of the future.
The show appears on Bloomberg TV, and on this Bloomberg Web site.
It lives here on YouTube as well.
And, if you want a heads up when new episodes appear, hit this.
Thanks. Hope you enjoy it!

By flooding our environment with antibiotics, people may alter a little-appreciated but profound aspect of bacterial evolution: the very pace at which it occurs. Bacteria may evolve more rapidly and more radically than just a few decades ago.
This proposition is still a hypothesis, but it's an intriguing one. While drug resistance is a well-known consequence of antibiotic use, a global acceleration of bacterial mutability could make drug resistance more common and shape pathogens in unpredictable ways.
"Human activities might be altering the fundamental tempo of bacterial evolution," write geneticists Michael Gillings of Australia's Macquarie University and Hatch Stokes of the University of Technology in a June Trends in Ecology and Evolution paper.
Gillings and Stokes start by describing what's widely known: The world is inundated by antibiotics. Drugs consumed by people or contained in consumer products end up in sewage, where they're unaffected by waste treatment and become part of water cycles. The same goes for drugs consumed by animals, which in the United States accounts for 80 percent of antibiotic use. Antibiotic-rich manure is routinely spread on farms.
'Baseline bacterial evolution is a bell-shaped curve, and we are pushing that curve.'
Subjected to environments that favor drug-tolerating individuals, bacteria have evolved in predictable ways, and antibiotic resistance has reached near-crisis proportions. Historical scourges like tuberculosis and pneumonia have returned with a vengeance. Physicians are running quickly through a shrinking roster of still-effective drugs. Because bacteria easily swap genetic material, genes that neutralize antibiotics aren't just found in target pathogens, but have diffused throughout the world's microbial populations.
That much is obvious. But according to Gillings and Stokes, something more subtle could be happening. It stands to mathematical reason that natural selection in antibiotic-flooded environments wouldn't only favor microbes possessing superbug genes, but microbes with especially high mutation rates that increased their chances of randomly producing a superbug mutation.
"Rates of evolution are themselves selected for higher evolvability," said Gillings. "Baseline bacterial evolution is a bell-shaped curve, and we are pushing that curve to the right."
Mechanisms exist that allow bacteria to become more evolvable. When bugs are exposed to environmental stress, what's known as an SOS response kicks in, diverting cellular energies to repairing DNA and inducing new mutations.
Bacterial mutations also arise through a mix-and-match recombination of genetic command elements called integrons. A bacterium may contain hundreds of integrons, most of which are inactive at any given time—but in response to stress, dormant integrons become active.
Another source of mutations is lateral gene transfer, in which pieces of genetic material float freely between microbes. Individual genes can be exchanged in this manner, as can entire arsenals of genetic units, such as the NDM-1 resistance factor that emerged in India in 2010 and breaks down entire classes of common antibiotics.
Using these mutation mechanisms comes at a heavy cost to individual microbes, noted Mark Toleman, a Cardiff University microbiologist who studies NDM-1. "The general direction of this change is down hill and detrimental to the genome of the bacteria," he said.
According to Gillings and Stokes, antibiotic ubiquity makes that price worthwhile for many bacteria. "We are flooding the world with selective agents," said Gillings, and this may have changed the standard cost-balance equations that govern whether higher evolvability is worth the costs. It's better to be alive and damaged than dead.
The researchers say these increased mutation rates will generate new forms of antibiotic resistance and other, as-yet-unpredicted changes. "The processes we describe apply equally to all genes in bacterial genomes, not just those that deal with resistance," Gillings said—and it won't only be a few disease-causing pathogens that speed up, but many if not most microbes.
Not everyone is convinced. Evolutionary biologist Joanna Masel of the University of Arizona, a specialist in bacterial evolvability, said it's not yet known whether selection pressures exerted by antibiotics are significantly more intense than other forces shaping bacterial evolution.
"There's a lot of selection pressure on bacteria all the time. They are fighting off viruses and other parasites. They are evading predators. They are having cutthroat competitions" with other bacteria, Masel said.
"Antibiotics clearly matter. Bacteria have evolved in response to them," Masel continued. "But it's quite another claim that such evolution is a bigger deal than the many, many other things that make bacteria evolve all the time."
"We could be wrong," Gillings said. "What is needed is for people to think about this problem and to design experiments to test our ideas."
Continued Gillings, "We need key data to be sure, but even if there is only a one percent chance that we are right—and I believe it's more like 99 percent—it's a phenomenon that needs to be seriously considered."

Snow Peak is known for its lighting gear that adapts to the needs of campers throughout the day. And their new Tulip Lantern is the smartest yet, automatically adjusting its throw when it detects it's being used as a hanging lamp.
Available on March 9th for $US150, the lantern uses the law of gravity to know when it's sitting on its base, where it will shine with a more ambient glow. Or when it's been hung from the roof of a tent, upside-down, where it will automatically change to a focused, narrow beam. And with its flexible goose-like neck, you can actually twist around its head and get it to produce either lighting effect, no matter how it's oriented.
On a fresh set of batteries the Tulip is claimed to glow for up to 100 hours, but that's when using its dimmest setting. If you need its full 250 lumens of brightness, you can expect that runtime to be considerably less. So don't ditch that box of matches just yet. [Cool Hunting]

A map displays the user's location and the number and location of parking spaces available in downtown San Carlos, Calif., in real time.
Christmas shoppers circle the block, scanning the curb for vacant parking spaces, holding up traffic, increasing frustration, congestion and emissions, and perhaps finally deciding to get out of downtown altogether to shop at a big box store with acres of parking. But in something dubbed a "smart parking" pilot, San Carlos, Calif., is hoping to reduce congestion, increase the appeal of downtown businesses and literally curb its traffic.
The city of nearly 30,000, just south of San Francisco, embedded 100 radio frequency (RF) plugs in parking spaces along its shopping and restaurant district, in a partnership with Cisco and Streetline. The plugs sense when a vehicle is present or absent, transmitting that data via RF to a central collection point linked to San Carlos' free citywide WiFi network. The information then travels to the Internet, and thus to Android and Apple mobile devices wielded by shoppers.
The Parker App
The free "Parker" app displays a map with the user's location, the number and location of available parking spaces, parking rates and time limits. Voice guidance can also alert motorists to available spaces.
The free app, called "Parker", features a map displaying the user's location and the number and location of parking spaces currently available. The app also provides detailed information about parking rates, time limits and more. Voice guidance alerts motorists to available spaces to make the parking experience even smoother.
San Carlos Assistant City Manager Brian Moura said that if the pilot -- expected to run about a year -- is successful, it could expand to additional spaces. According to Moura, the neighboring city of San Mateo is also in a pilot with 135 spaces, and several other Bay Area cities are also interested.
Moura says the detailed data provided by the system will help city planning. "It's refreshing to have actual hard data on when people are downtown." In the past, he said, parking management was done by guesswork or sending people with clipboards to sample parking availability. "You don't have to do any of that anymore with this technology. You know exactly how many spaces there are at any time of day and which block they're in. And I think that really changes the discussion when you start talking about development downtown."
Ready access to parking data might also help people align their shopping trips with better parking availability, further reducing traffic during the busiest times of the week.
Moura said the city has fielded some concerns from the public as the plugs were installed, notably about privacy. But there are no privacy implications with the system, he said, as it only indicates if a vehicle is present or absent with no identification capabilities.

Legislation gives executors legal rights to manage online accounts as a part of a deceased person's estate.
A deceased person's digital assets would be governed in the same manner as physical records, under legislation being considered in Delaware.
House Bill 345, the Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets and Digital Accounts Act, gives fiduciaries the power to manage a decedent's online resources such as email and cloud storage as part of an estate. The measure addresses a growing problem for families frustrated that a deceased loved one's electronic materials are unavailable due to strict agreements that restrict access to one user.
Sponsored by Rep. Darryl Scott, D-Dover, HB 345 passed on a 39-1 vote in the Delaware House and 21-0 in the Senate. The bill was co-sponsored by Sen. Bryan Townsend, D-Newark, and awaits a decision by Gov. Jack Markell.
In an interview with Government Technology, Scott explained that the issue came to light when a constituent wasn't able to obtain access to her deceased father's email account. That led to Scott authoring HB 396 in 2012. That measure was narrowly drafted, requiring an executor to go through the probate process and obtain court permission before accessing a decedent's digital accounts. Although the bill got out of committee, it was never taken up by the Delaware House of Representatives.
HB 345, however, takes a more comprehensive view of the digital assets issue by expressly authorizing the four basic types of fiduciaries – executor, trustee, guardians and agents – to have a level of control over online accounts of a deceased or incapacitated person.
For example, if an estate or trust is silent with respect to what happens with digital assets, then the trustee or executor of that estate would be given a right to access and manage those accounts just like they would any other documentation.
A guardian would need permission through the court to have access to a decedent's online properties, while an agent would have to have their access clearly delineated as a part of the power of attorney process. In regard to an incapacitated person, a doctor would have to provide documentation as the status of the individual for an agent to access that person's digital assets.
If the measure becomes law, technology companies such as Google, Microsoft and all providers of online storage and email would fall under HB 345's purview for account holders living in Delaware.
While the voting record on HB 345 shows a high level of support on the digital assets issue, the process of securing backing for the measure wasn't as easy as it looks.
Scott noted that the tech industry was concerned that an individual might gain access to private material in a digital account that the decedent might not have wanted exposed. He added that industry wanted Delaware to mimic a law in Rhode Island that required a court order each time a fiduciary wanted access to a deceased person's email or other online service.
Scott disagreed, and felt states had a right to define lawful access to those electronic assets.
"We didn't think there was a legitimate argument to be made about privacy," Scott said. "From our perspective, if an individual was silent in their will, their executor would get access to it. If an individual designated on a website that they wanted the account deleted upon their death that would be honored. If the will was specific to say you get access to everything but my Google account, for example, that was to be respected."
As of press time on July 11, Gov. Markell had yet to sign HB 345, but Scott expressed confidence that it would happen soon, and said he's planning to contact Markell's staff to schedule a signing ceremony for the bill.
"I don't anticipate there's any issues at this point … it's been vetted very well," Scott said.

The 26-year-old added double Commonwealth Games gold to his Olympic gold, two world titles and three European crowns and is arguably the best triathlete of all time.
Brownlee had hoped to double up in Glasgow and run the 10,000 metres as well but injuries earlier in the season forced him to abandon the plan.
The Leeds athlete first set the target after winning the Olympics in London in 2012, when his time for the 10-kilometre run of 29 minutes and seven seconds was only a second slower than Britain's Chris Thompson, who finished 25th in the final of the 10,000m on the track.
Given Brownlee had already swum 1.5 kilometres and cycled 40km, and jogged his way down the finishing straight in celebration, it seemed a realistic aim.
Last year he ran a time only 12 seconds short of the B standard for the Commonwealth Games off the back of little training, but he revealed targeting Glasgow was a one-time thing.
Brownlee said: " I think I'm going to struggle now.
"The track was a goal to try to come to the Commonwealths to do it. It would have been a fantastic achievement to do it but it just didn't work out unfortunately.
"At the moment I'm completely focused on triathlon, obviously the rest of this year and then on to Rio."
England dominated the triathlon at Strathclyde Country Park, with Brownlee beating younger brother Jonny to individual gold while Jodie Stimpson won the women's race and Vicky Holland took bronze.
The quartet then teamed up on Saturday to win the first mixed team relay at a major Games in suitably dominant fashion.
Both Brownlees had made the Commonwealth Games their priority this season ahead of winning the world title, which looks certain to go to their big rival Javier Gomez from Spain.
There are two races left in the World Triathlon Series, which decides the world champion, with Stockholm in a month's time followed by the Grand Final in Edmonton.
"Both of us are looking towards Edmonton now," said Alistair.
"We're going to spend a few days here just enjoying the Games and then head off to go and train somewhere and train hard for Edmonton.
"My aim now is just completely to win the Grand Final. If I can do that then it's all the big one-day races this year and that will have to do.
"I'll maybe have another crack at the world title next year. Edmonton's a good course and, if I'm fit, it should be good."
Alistair remains all but untouchable when fully fit but injury problems over the past three seasons have scuppered his chances of adding to his world titles from 2009 and 2011.
He does not like having to peak for the amount of races required to win the series but is planning to give it another go next year.
He said: "I hope so, of course. The world title both these last two years has been weird with the races so early in the season.
"I took a bit of a risk going for the 10km more than anything. If I'd gone straight on to New Zealand (for the first race of the series) it could have been a bit different.
"But I wanted to win the Commonwealths and I've done that now so I can't complain."
Stimpson sits second in the women's standings having won the opening two races of the season before being usurped by American Gwen Jorgensen.
The 25-year-old's priority is giving herself the best chance to qualify for the Rio Olympics in 2016 having missed out on London.
"Obviously I'm in a much better position going into Rio than I was going into London," said Stimpson.
"I've developed and matured as an athlete, but there's so much depth in British triathlon. That's fantastic and it makes you step up your game. But I've got to get there first."
It looks set to be a fierce battle for the three spots available in the women's race in Rio, with Welsh duo Non Stanford and Helen Jenkins, who missed Glasgow through injury, also in the mix.
Holland knows she faces an uphill battle to make her second Olympics, saying: " I've come away with a Commonwealth bronze medal but I'm still potentially the fourth best girl in Britain right now.
"I'm sure Non and Helen will be back in the mix next year to contest those spots for Rio and I'm going to have to step up again from this."

This course will teach you how to see things from others' viewpoints based on their needs, values, beliefs, experiences, skills, knowledge, and self-interests. You will learn to approach difficult situations by answering the questions: who? what? where? when? how? and why? And by answering these questions, you will understand who your difficult people are, what they're like, how you react to them, and their response to your actions.
You will also practice analyzing your interactions with those you share space with. By observing others closely, you will learn to read their identifying characteristics. Once you can identify which type of person you're dealing with, you will be able to choose appropriate reactions to their behaviors.
By the time you finish this course, you will understand that assertiveness involves taking responsibility when meeting your needs in a way that preserves the dignity and rights of others.
In the first lesson, you will find out the answers to four very important questions that impact the success of your relationships with others. The answers to these questions will help you identify your preferred communication styles.
In this lesson, you will begin to build a database about not only your difficult people—those who are different in communication style from you. You will also enhance your skills in reviewing and resolving problems with these people.
This lesson discusses four types of hostile people. These are people who want to control everything and everyone but have no self-control. This group is called Hostile-Aggressives.
In this lesson, you will learn appropriate options for interacting well with those who are stubborn or critical—people known as Negative-Thinkers.
This lesson focuses on the appropriate way to effectively deal with aggressive individuals. You will learn how to recognize these people and share space with them.
In this lesson, you will take another look at another personality type called Relators. Plus, you will learn ways to effectively handle the difficult subcategories of this type.
Some of your difficult people probably also feel that you're their difficult person, but you may be totally unaware of this. Do you feel that ignorance is really bliss? You will go through some exercises in this lesson that should help you figure it out.
In this lesson, you will work toward improving your own flexibility skills: confidence, tolerance, empathy, positivity, and respect. To help, you will answer a few questions about each of your own skill sets as you move through the lesson's materials.
In this lesson, you will learn that a certain set of characteristics is essential if you want to relate well with others. As you will find out, you must first improve your versatility skills to maintain a positive attitude, and then learn to view obstacles and problems as "opportunities."
After finishing this lesson, you will understand what assertiveness is and what it isn't. You will begin to see why assertive behavior is so important to your success in getting along well with others. You will also carefully examine your own level of assertiveness and identify which of your skills need fine-tuning.
This lesson focuses on simple, yet powerful assertive-communication techniques. You will learn to use self-disclosure appropriately to share information about yourself—your thoughts, feelings, and opinions—to build relationship trust and common ground.
After this final lesson, you may be surprised to discover that your listening skills need improvement. Listening well is a complex process, and your own selective filtering often keeps you from real understanding.

But because he played mostly with his head down looking between his legs, there's a chance you never heard of long snapper Patrick Mannelly, who announced his retirement Friday after playing more years and more games with the Bears than any player in team history.
"It has been an honor to be a Bear and represent them for my career," he said.
In his 16 years and 245 games with the team, Mannelly snapped the ball for extra points, punts and field goals 2,282 times. He and his teammates must have been doing something right because he helped the Bears set an NFL record for most consecutive unblocked punts — 920 — and another NFL record for games played — 180 — without a blocked punt.
And for a player who was in a most vulnerable position with huge defensive lineman trying to run him over to get to the kicker or punter, he was remarkably durable. In 12 of those 16 years, he played in all 16 games and missed just 11 games in his career. His 245 games puts him in a tie for 43rd on the all-time NFL list for games played, according to the Bears.
The 39-year-old Mannelly said age caught up with him. Hip surgery and a host of aches and pains, including those in his left knee and his shoulders and elbows made it clear to him that it was time to retire.
"My body's tapping me on the back and saying, 'That's it, bud, you're done,'" he said.
Mannelly's favorite memories are in some way like other players. He talked about the thrill he heard when the crowd at Soldier Field roared as the team ran on the field. Then there was the 2006 NFC Championship game.
"Celebrating with your fans in the home stadium is pretty awesome and then knowing you get to go live a dream of playing in a Super Bowl is great," he said.
But his memories serve as a reminder that his job is unusual. Like the time he told his then-girlfriend who is now his wife while the two were in college at Duke that he might have a career as a long snapper.
"Her quote was, 'That's a job?'" he said.
Like most players, he has a vivid recollection of his first game, though his memories are a bit different because they were upside down.
"I remember looking between my legs before the first snap of the game... and I actually told myself to take a little mental snapshot," he said.

Learning More of Love
Young Women Selected Songs: A Song of the Heart
1. I learned of love when I was young. I felt it in the slightest touch,
The hush of lullaby and kneeling for a prayer.
I talked to the Lord and I knew he was there.
Goodness and caring,
Love is sharing.
And love that burns within my soul
Is kindled by the truth I live.
Forgiving others, Making heaven in our home,
To serve in thought and deed
It's learning more of love I need.
2. I grew to feel the warmth of love
Belonging to a family
Where others listen'd and my parents understood;
By their example I could see love nurtured.
Let Me Soar
Words and music by Newell Dayley
Topics – service, love, humility, wisdom
1. Let me soar.
Let me do the things that help me learn and grow.
Let me soar.
Let me listen with a heart that yearns to know.
Trust in me to follow wisely in the way of truth.
Trust in me to serve my brother while upon this earth.
2. Let me soar.
Let me reach out for the one who needs my hand.
Let me soar.
Let me cease to want and selfishly demand.
Trust in me to lead the way for those who fall behind.
Trust in me to take the hands of those whose lives are blind.
Reach our for the one who needs your love.
Reach our for those whisp'rings from above.
Reach our for in reaching we all find
those precious feelings shared by all mankind.
Let me he will draw me near.

Jerry Nelson (July 10, 1934 - August 23, 2012) started his puppeteering career working for Bil Baird. Throughout the '60s, he worked on-and-off with Jim Henson. In 1970, he joined the company and began working regularly on Sesame Street. Nelson performed as a principal puppeteer in numerous Muppet productions for over thirty years, including the Muppet movies, The Muppet Show, Fraggle Rock, and various TV specials.
By the mid 2000s, Nelson had stepped away from performing his classic Muppet characters, due to health reasons, but he continued to voice his characters on Sesame Street. In 2005, he was one of the narrators on the audiobook version of It's Not Easy Bein' Green, displaying his vocal versatility by reciting most of the quotes from Muppet characters, including Dr. Teeth and the Doozers.
In late 2009, Nelson released his album Truro Daydreams.[1]
Early Works with Henson
Jerry Nelson first worked with Jim Henson in 1965 when Frank Oz got drafted and Henson needed somebody to perform the right hand of Rowlf on The Jimmy Dean Show. However, Frank Oz failed his draft physical, but since Nelson had just gotten his job, Oz chose to take some time off from performing and thereby allow Nelson to stay on with the Muppets.
One of Nelson's first major roles was Featherstone in Hey Cinderella! and The Frog Prince. Throughout the early 1970s, Nelson also performed a full-body monster named Thog, who appeared in The Great Santa Claus Switch and various variety show appearances. In The Frog Prince, he performed Kermit the Frog's nephew Robin for the first time; however, in that appearance, although Robin's voice and personality were the same, the character was actually a prince who was turned into a frog. Nelson also performed T.R. and Caleb Siles in The Muppet Musicians of Bremen, Scred on Saturday Night Live, and Emmet Otter in Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas.
Sesame Street
Jerry Nelson became part of Sesame Street during the second season. In this season alone he was given a variety of new characters, including Herbert Birdsfoot, Sherlock Hemlock, Herry Monster, the Amazing Mumford, Little Jerry, Simon Soundman, and Farley. In 1972, he created the role of Count von Count, who is perhaps his best-known character. Another well-known character who Nelson performed was Big Bird's best friend, Mr. Snuffleupagus. However, most sources (including Sesame Street Unpaved and Sesame Street: A Celebration - 40 Years of Life on the Street) state that physical strain placed on him by the large puppet eventually hurt his back so much that he had to stop performing the character (although he continued to supply the voice only for a time). In a 2009 interview, Jerry Nelson gave a different explanation for giving up the role: "I was not loath to give that character up. But the reasons for giving it up were because at that time we were doing The Muppet Show and he was a real part of the show, and they needed his presence. So they asked if I'd mind giving it up."[2] Other notable characters in Nelson's repertoire included Mr. Johnson, Frazzle, Sam the Robot, and Fred the Wonder Horse. He also did announcer voices very often, including the announcers for the Sesame Street News Flash and Super Grover openings.
Nelson was often paired with performer Richard Hunt. While goofing around on the set one day, they acted like a two-headed monster, and inspired by this, a Two-Headed Monster character was created for them. Jerry Nelson performed the left half of the monster, and because of this, had to perform the character's head with his left hand. (Most performers use their right hands to perform the heads of their characters.) Nelson and Hunt also performed a duo known as Biff and Sully.
Aside from his prolific Muppet performances, Nelson has lent his vocals to a number of live-action and animated song inserts. These have included "Moonshine" and "Don't Waste Water," as well as rerecorded versions of older Sesame Street songs such as "Frog Struggle Song" and "There's a Bird on Me." Nelson's announcing duties extended to the Elmo's World segments, voicing the announcer heard during the animated TV portions who introduces the channel Elmo is currently watching on TV.
39 Years on a 40 Year Street: An Essay by Jerry Nelson
"Today marks the 40th anniversary of Sesame Street. Other than the news, historically the longest running show on television. Well, with the possible exception of a soap opera or two. Still in all, it is humbling to have been a part of something so significant in the history of the media that was born in my lifetime.
Forty years, seems like a lifetime. Over half of my seventy five years on this planet has been spent being what has been referred to as a Muppeteer. It's funny when I think about it because at least twenty of those years I denied being a puppeteer. I was an actor who was working with puppets until a film or stage job came along and all I really wanted to do was sing.
My grandparents used to give me a quarter to learn and sing songs when I was a sprout about five years old. "South of the Border" was maybe the first of a long list of tunes and I'm still learning them and singing them and will until the day I die. I don't know if they knew the extent of what they were doing and how they were prepping me to have a way to get along in the world, but I like to think so.
I guess everything you observe and do and experience in life adds to that oneness that makes each of us so unique and at the same time makes us an everyman that shares the human condition in the most fundamental ways.
Working with the Henson organization was like working with your family and when I started working on Sesame Street that was another extended family so now the family was immense. The idea behind this Sesame Street project was to use the tool of television to teach underprivileged preschool children, but what happened was that the show charmed, taught, and brought love and laughter into the hearts and minds of children and adults all over the world.
Chance, dumb luck or destiny? Who knows the controlling force that chooses where and how we find our lives manifest?
I can only say I have traveled through the breathtaking up and down melody of a lifetime that, I studied and trained for, wandered the paths of least resistance (following my water nature) to, and that I am either blessed and one of the luckiest bozos walking this planet or both. In any case: Yeehaw, Hot Dawg, you old mustang you and Boy Howdy, today I'm celebrating by getting all my chores done for once! (Oh, didn't I tell you? I'm also the laziest man on earth.)
Norman Stiles, who was the first writer to write for Count, sent me this yesterday:
'It's a beautiful thing. Happy Birthday! Let's put 40 candles in the cake! Then let's light 40 candles! Then let's blow out 40 candles! Then we must take 40 candles out of the cake! Then it will be time to lick the icing off of 40 candles! Then we'll eat the cake, taking one thousand tiny little bites! And then we will count the burps! Ha, ha, ha!'
Norman, obviously hasn't lost it but.... I wish I'd said that!"
—Jerry Nelson[3]
The Muppet Show
Jerry Nelson performed in both of the Muppet Show pilots. In The Muppets Valentine Show, he returned to the role of Thog, and also performed Droop and Miss Mousey. In The Muppet Show: Sex and Violence, he performed Electric Mayhem bass player Floyd Pepper for the first time. In that special he also performed Statler, Dr. Nauga, Gluttony, Envy, Sloth, the Yellow Stalk, Harvey and the Gene Shalit Muppet.
When production began on The Muppet Show as a series, Nelson chose to spend some time with his daughter and therefore couldn't perform in every first-season episode. Because of this, he had to give up the role of Statler, but for the most part he retained his other characters (Floyd Pepper, Robin, Droop, etc.) from previous productions. Nelson did not perform in episodes 101-103 and 111-115. However, when the first two episodes were reworked later in the first season, Nelson performed Floyd in a segment that was added to episode 102.
None of Nelson's characters were as central to the show as characters like Kermit, Miss Piggy, and Scooter, and therefore Nelson often played major one-shot backstage characters, such as Irving Bizarre, Big Tiny Tallsaddle, and Angus McGonagle. His notable recurring characters included Camilla the Chicken, Pops, Louis Kazagger, and Dr. Julius Strangepork. One such character, Lew Zealand, was originally intended as a one-shot, but soon became a recurring character. Beginning in the second season, Nelson took over two of John Lovelady's roles: Crazy Harry and the Announcer. Nelson went on to perform nearly every Muppet announcer in a major Henson production until 2002. Nelson was also given such rarely-seen recurring characters as J.P. Grosse, Fleet Scribbler, and Uncle Deadly.
In addition to his versatility at character dialects, Nelson was an accomplished vocalist, and often received showcases on The Muppet Show. Some of his regular characters, such as Floyd Pepper and Slim Wilson, were musicians and sang often. Many of his other characters have displayed their musical talents, whether it was Robin singing "Halfway Down the Stairs" or "I'm Five," Thog singing "Oh Babe What Would You Say," or Pops singing "Once in Love With Amy." Nelson has also performed many songs as one-shot characters, including "All of Me," "The Windmills of Your Mind," and "Three Little Fishies." In addition to frequent pairings with Richard Hunt characters, Nelson was also often paired with Louise Gold in musical numbers, such as "Henrietta's Wedding" and "Your Feet's Too Big."
On his characters, Jerry Nelson was quoted in a 1978 "Muppet Show Fan Club" newsletter:
"Each one of them is an aspect of my own personality. The Muppets are roles I assume, rather than puppets I manipulate. Robin, for instance, is an undersized metaphor for my own insecurities. He has a childlike curiosity about how things work. Uncle Deadly is the greatest ham actor of all time; Floyd is my laid-back, mellow side -- cool. And then there's Crazy Harry, whose ultimate trip is spontaneous combustion. An analyst told me I should develop that side of my personality. I don't think he meant I should go around exploding everything -- just that I should give my emotions more freedom."
Nelson continued to speak fondly of his performance opportunities in later years:
"I feel blessed to have worked on something that has become such an icon of the times. I've certainly always thought I've been really lucky in that respect. I enjoy singing and I get to sing a lot. I get to be in a band (The Electric Mayhem) without really being in a band. All of those things make me say, 'Well, that's one blessing. That's another blessing.[4]"
On Fraggle Rock, Jerry Nelson performed the show's lead character, Gobo Fraggle. He also performed Marjory the Trash Heap and Pa Gorg. Jerry Nelson was one of the few Muppet performers to perform voices in The Dark Crystal, performing the voices of the Dying Skeskis Emperor and the Skeksis High Priest. In The Christmas Toy, he performed Balthazar, who he would regularly perform on The Secret Life of Toys. He also wrote songs for the series. He also performed many characters on The Jim Henson Hour, though his only recurring character on that show was Beard.
Following Richard Hunt's death in 1992, Nelson once again performed the role of Statler, who he had originally performed. He also performed The Ghost of Christmas Present in The Muppet Christmas Carol, as well as Mad Monty and Blind Pew in Muppet Treasure Island.
He performed many minor characters on Muppets Tonight, and occasionally performed on The Wubbulous World of Dr. Seuss. He performed Ubergonzo in Muppets from Space, and performed the Grouch Mayor in The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland.
Beginning in the early 2000s, Jerry Nelson began to phase out performing his primary Muppet Show family characters. Many of his characters drifted to silent background roles and several were recast; Statler was assumed by Steve Whitmire starting with 2002's "Keep Fishin'" music video, Floyd Pepper was briefly recast to John Kennedy, and Nelson's half of the Two-Headed Monster on Sesame Street was passed to Joey Mazzarino in 2001. For the 2002 TV movie It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie, Bill Barretta replaced him as Lew Zealand, but Nelson looped the voices of Robin, Statler, and others. Nelson continued to perform Count von Count and his other characters for Sesame Street, but by the late 2000s, he was only voicing them while Matt Vogel normally did the puppetry. Starting in 2008, Vogel took over most of Nelson's Muppet Show roles as well.
It was long rumored that health issues were beginning to limit Nelson's involvement in the high-demanding Muppet projects as he continued to stay active in the ranks of the Muppeteers. Nelson stated in an August 2006 post that he had been dealing with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and prostate cancer. "It is long and boring but I have had health issues for a couple of years now. Different ones...I do intend to work with my old friend Count Von Count again this next season."[5] Nelson also participated in exclusive DVD interviews for the first two seasons of Fraggle Rock and Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas.
Although he was uncredited, Nelson reprised his role as announcer during The Muppet Telethon in 2011's The Muppets. Audio clips of his original introductions to Veterinarian's Hospital and Pigs in Space are also heard in the film, when Kermit first walks into The Muppet Theatre. In 2012, Nelson participated in Frank Oz's documentary Muppet Guys Talking (which was finally released in 2017), and served as announcer for the concert Jim Henson's Musical World.
Jerry Nelson died on August 23, 2012 after years of health issues complicated by COPD. His final segments for Sesame Street continued to air into Season 44. Nelson's last performances as the Count include the song "Five By" and the Street story for Episode 4401. He also voiced the Count for Kinect Sesame Street TV and the Universal Studios Singapore attraction Spaghetti Space Chase (as well as a news announcer in the pre-show). Other posthumous performances by Nelson include "The Coffee Plant" sketch as Mr. Johnson and a Word of the Day segment as Humpty Dumpty.
The main story for Sesame Street Episode 4411 (produced after Nelson's passing) was written in tribute to the performer, celebrating his best-known Sesame character. Nelson's likeness is depicted on the Noble Prize for Counting and, for the Count's entrance at the story's climax, archive audio of Nelson is edited together to form new dialogue. Nelson's introductory voice-over from The Muppets was re-used in Muppets Most Wanted. The film was dedicated to him and Jane Henson.
