Fuel-cell cars have been a tomorrow technology as long as I've been reporting on them, but it looks like 2015 will be the year they finally go commercial, with hundreds of thousands (you read that right) planned for production as early as 2015.
Right now, it remains theoretical. The cars, including the Toyota Fuel Cell Hybrid Vehicle advanced (FCHV-adv), fuel up at Proton OnSite in Connecticut, are in test fleets, and the numbers are very small. And what is loftily referred to as the hydrogen infrastructure — the necessary network of filling stations — is lacking. There are maybe 70 of them in the U.S. (nobody seems to have an exact count), and only about 25 of those are open to the public.
But that's all set to change, and even now fuel cells have made inroads — just not in cars yet. I love the fact that there are hundreds of fuel-cell forklifts at companies like Wal-Mart and Bridgestone-Firestone, and 1,000 or more in the pipeline. Why? It's cost-effective, there's no need to store heavy battery packs, and because the lifts are zero emission, there's no problem operating them indoors.
And another major use is auxiliary power, providing electricity when it usually isn't available. And that's what led me to Smart Fuel Cells' EFOY. Who'd a thunk it? This German company has built a successful business providing $4,000 to $6,000 portable fuel cell back-up power for huge RVs. As you know, what's the point of going to a campsite if you can't plug in what Albert Brooks, an RV owner in "Lost in America," refers to as a microwave that browns? And you won't want to miss the repeat of "Glee," either. Right now, standard operating procedure means running the RV's big engine, which is a colossal waste of fuel.
Some RV campsites have hookups for electricity, but many don't, and gasoline generators are noisy and smelly. The noisy part means that some sites make you turn them off at night, which isn't a liability of the fuel-cell alternative. The EFOY made by SFC uses a $65 plug-in methanol cartridge that you get off the shelf in 1,500 convenience stores in Europe (where it's partnered with 50 RV companies), and 50 in Canada.
The U.S. is the next market at the end of 2011, and you know we have a lot of RVs. The price seems high, but RVs are really expensive, and back-up power will just be one more option that Good Sam members will check off.
I've been attending a hydrogen conference in Vancouver, Canada, and was enthralled by a presentation from SFC's CEO, Peter Podesser. He said the company has sold 20,000 of the units, and the units have already logged a collective 8 million operating hours. "We did a study in 2006 to try to find out which markets would pay for auxiliary power units, and RVs stood out," he said. "If people are off-grid for three days, they will want to watch TV and enjoy a cool beer in the evening."
The EFOY is also standard equipment as back-up power for federal troops in Germany, because it reduces on-the-move weight compared to diesel generators. Plus, remember that it doesn't make any noise? That's great for "silent watch" military missions.
On a larger scale, stationary fuel cells are providing back-up power for hospitals, military bases, banks, and telecoms (especially to keep cell towers online). Companies like long-term player Ballard Power Systems, Linde, UTC Power and Air Liquide (which has built 50 big hydrogen generators) have made this a big business. And nearly all of them are eyeing the pending deployment of those fuel-cell cars — from Daimler, Honda, Hyundai and Toyota — as the next big market to get into. When the cars are ready, they hope to be, too.

Visiting Mickey
First time in Anaheim, so visiting Mickey was obligatory. Great weather as well - in January ;-)
Assault on Ruben! Lord Vader wanted an improvement for his helmet intercom. Mr. Tilgner's call!
Those who traveled all the way through Small World with their ears open deserve a decoration for braveness.
This show was definitively crowded! And these are just the people waiting in line for entering the hall...
Cloud computing? Old hat. Ribbon mics? Very cool. However, Roger got the award for his Cloudlifter. Congratulations!
Jeff Goodman is ready to give you the full Empirical Labs tour. And he knows some very cool restaurants in California.
It was a great pleasure seeing Dave Pensado! Finally, we got the chance to meet in person.
Dave and Judy Derr team with Ruben and Collin for a nice group picture. Dave was wearing green this time!
Far from home: High End Gear Tom Jansen visiting his fellow countrymen for a quick exchange of impressions.
Long live the bass people. Meeting Corey was the coolest thing. Next time less sleep, more party. Promised.
More bass stars! Peter Sonntag from Final Virus came over to say hi and discuss some low end related stuff.
NAMM was cool, so we'll definitively do it again. If only the flight was a little bit shorter... Anyway, next time we'll have more great products and our bathing suits with us!
California in January is sweet, especially when there is nothing but rain and low temperates at home. Our first NAMM show was the ticket to get there.
The search for the motto is over. Disney knew it all. We're now trying to rent this office for our weird experiments.
New office, new company car. A childhood dream coming true - finally on a par with Donald.
Alright, enough of leisure activities. There was NAMM... and palm trees, and the sun shining nicely...
Trade show veterans Gil and David from Wave Distribution know more funny jokes than anyone else!
Chris Pelonis and Julie had a good time presenting their speakers, and even won an award for them.
We had not seen Jay Gordon for a long time, so it was great he came over and told us about his new projects.
Alex Aguilar has come up with a new company: Alairex! This guitar pedal he 'debuted' with sounds amazing.
Shorty from SBS Designs proudly presented his various power amp design approaches.
Mark Hannah not only likes using his mpressor, but lots of geeky effects as well ... we love it.
Several trade show days in a row can be very exhausting. This time UBK was the victim. Sarah to the rescue!
New places, new friends. Like this little yellow guy... We miss you a lot. Don't cry, we'll be back.

The country's largest exchange program for teachers has given high honors to two educators in Lancaster.
Brooklyn Springs Elementary School's Mónica M. Díaz Jiménez is South Carolina's 2009 International Educator of the Year for the Visiting International Faculty (VIF) Program.
Verónica Raffin of North Elementary School won VIF's honorable mention this year.
Both Diaz and Raffin teach English as a Second Language, or ESL.
As her tour group moved quickly through the ornate rooms of the Hollywood Beach railcar, HeeJong Park made sure to take a few pictures along the way.
With her digital camera in hand, Park snapped photos throughout the luxury railcar, from the dining car to the cabins to the glass-ceiling sun room. The train, which was one of two deluxe charter trains parked at Lancaster's L&C Railway, was just a stop along the way for Park and the rest of her tour group.
Bobby Bailey sat near the stage at the Lancaster County School District's Celebration of Excellence ceremony Monday and had no idea what was coming his way.
Bailey usually attends the annual event. But little did he know, he'd be recognized this time around.
Bailey, a retired educator who heads a number of community outreach initiatives, is one of the four newest inductees into the school district's Hall of Fame.
Joining him in the 2009 class are William "Bill" Williams Jr., the late Emma Bufford and the late Bonita Howey.
Keith "Little Bear" Brown transformed clay into works of art in just minutes.
Using his hands and a few tools, Brown, a member of the Catawba Indian tribe, creates pipes, bowls and pots that can be used for daily functions, while others creations are kept primarily for display.
Brown brought his pottery skills to town April 9 for the fourth annual Native American Studies Week at the University of South Carolina at Lancaster.
The week featured several presenters and lecturers whose aim was to highlight Native American history and culture.
The folks with the TRiO program at the University of South Carolina at Lancaster never seem to disappoint when it comes to their annual OSPy awards.
This year, they created a real-life carnival on campus – and there were plenty of games, hot dogs and popcorn for everyone in attendance, not to mention the awards that highlight the event.
The 12th annual OSPy (Opportunity Scholarship Program) awards were held Wednesday in the multipurpose room at the Bradley Arts and Sciences Building.
ROCK HILL - Lancaster native Zachary Blum was one of two Winthrop University students recognized with the American Legion Award during the 2009 Student Life Awards Ceremony on Thursday.
The award is presented annually to graduating students who display outstanding courage, companionship, character, service and scholarship.
Blum, a political science major, has volunteered to help children who are financially or physically challenged, raised money for numerous worthy causes, tutored fourth-graders and worked with Habitat for Humanity for nine years.
Catawba Indian music, dance and pottery are all on the bill for the fourth annual Native American Studies Week at the University of South Carolina at Lancaster.
A number of demonstrations, lectures and discussion panels are slated to offer a closer look at Native American history and customs and how they have made an impact today.
Scholars, Catawba Indians and archaeologists will be among those participating.
All events are free, open to the public and will be held on USCL's campus.
If you're looking to grow the greenest grass or strengthen your cell phone reception, there are a few local students who may help you out.
Zachary Bean, a fifth-grader at Discovery School, did his science project this year on drought-resistant grass.
He tested different types of grasses to see which one could stand straight the longest without receiving water.
The Pensacola Bahaia proved to be the best in his experiment.
Nick Retter, an eighth-grader at Indian Land Middle School, explored cell phone reception for his project.
Traci Scott is fully aware of the complications and tribulations associated with diabetes.
Her son, Matthew, was diagnosed with type 1, or juvenile, diabetes when he was 7. They received the information during a regular check-up.
"It was being hit broad side by a Mack truck out of the blue," Scott said.
She described the following few days as a blur, as the family was overwhelmed with information, including that about insulin intake, carbohydrate needs and other diabetic details.
Students throughout the school district are being rewarded in a big way for their commitments to excellence.
More than 100 seventh- through 12th-graders have received scholarships through the federal GEAR-UP grant.
GEAR-UP, which stands for Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs, offers support and programs to encourage students to attend college.
The district is in the first year of this three-year grant program.

Keeping Your Pets Safe When Traveling | Pets
(Welcome to our pet column, courtesy of Pet Connection Programs Inc. of Marilla. We post a new article each week, so be sure to check back on a regular basis!)
There's good news for pet owners who want to take their pet along on their next trip. With more pets than ever accompanying their owners on vacation, a growing number of products are available to make traveling easier for pets and people.
To help, here are some tips:
Traveling With Small Pets
For those traveling by car, a versatile top-loading kennel like the Petmate 2-Door Kennel assembles easily and provides a safe place for small pets to rest while en route to any destination.
When bringing a small dog or cat on a plane, remember that airlines require each pet to be contained in a carrier that meets specific criteria. For instance, the Curvations Underseat Traveler was engineered specifically to fit into tight spaces like the underside of an airline seat and provide ample side and top ventilation.
Traveling With Large Dogs
When planning a plane trip with a large dog, remember to check with the airline for individual kennel requirements and other important specifications. The kennel you select should follow these guidelines and comply with the standards of the International Air Transport Association. One such product, the Vari Kennel, is designed to offer comfort and safety, and comes in multiple sizes that fit pets up to 125 pounds.
When hitting the road with a large dog, it's a good idea to use a plastic kennel or barrier to keep the pet contained and out of the front seat, which causes distractions and poses a safety risk to both the pet and pet owner. And, a tubular or wire pet barrier is designed to do just that. It requires no tools to adjust and is easy to install and remove.
Other Tips
Make sure all shots, vet records and ID tag are up to date. For fun, make sure you have packed fetching toys as well as a collar and a leash to keep dogs nearby and safe. Don't forget to include a portable waterer or travel bowl for hydration and nourishment on extended trips or outings, especially outdoors.

Major Section: RELEASE-NOTES
NOTE! New users can ignore these release notes, because the documentation has been updated to reflect all changes that are recorded here.
(OpenMCL and multi-threaded SBCL only) Fixed a soundness bug in the
evaluation of
mbe forms in the presence of Lisp feature
:acl2-mv-as-values. Thanks to Sol Swords for reporting this problem and
sending a simple proof of
nil (which can be found in a comment in the
ACL2 sources, in
(deflabel note-3-2-1 ...)).
Added a new utility,
dmr (Dynamicaly Monitor Rewrites), for watching
the activity of the rewriter and some other proof processes. See dmr. We
thank Robert Krug for useful contributions.
Fixed a bug in evaluation of calls of
Fixed the writing of executable scripts when building ACL2, so that the
build-time value of environment variable
ACL2_SYSTEM_BOOKS is no longer
written there. Thanks to Dave Greve for discussing this change.
Fixed bugs in
pl (which are similarly present in the
sr (
show-rewrites) command. The first bug was
evident from the following forms sent by Robert Krug, which caused an error.
(include-book "arithmetic-3/floor-mod/floor-mod" :dir :system) :pl (mod (+ 1 x) n)The second bug was due to a failure to take note of which rules are disabled, and could be seen by executing the following (very slow!).
(defstub modulus () t) (include-book "arithmetic-3/floor-mod/floor-mod" :dir :system) :pl (mod (+ x y) (modulus))
certify-book so that by default, all executable-counterpart
functions (sometimes called ``*1* functions'') are compiled. This is the
behavior that was already supported with a
compile-flg argument of
:all; the change is that argument
t now has this behavior as well
:all is supported only for legacy purposes). A new value for
:raw, gives the behavior formerly produced by value
t, namely where executable-counterpart functions are not compiled. The
above changes are irrelevant if compilation is suppressed; see compilation.
Finally, if environment variable
ACL2_COMPILE_FLG is set, then after
converting to upper-case this environment variable's value of
"NIL", or
":RAW" will determine the value of the optional
compile-flg argument to be
nil, or
:raw, respectively,
when this argument is not explicitly supplied.
include-book so that
:comp argument now acts like
:comp!, i.e., compiling a file that includes the file together with all
executable counterpart (so-called ``*1*'') functions. A new argument,
:comp-raw, has the behavior that
:comp had formerly, i.e., compiling
the actual book only.
The function
nonnegative-integer-quotient is now computed in raw Lisp
by calling
floor on its arguments. This change was suggested by Peter
Dillinger, in order to avoid stack overflows such as reported by Daron
Vroon. A new book,
books/misc/misc2/misc.lisp, contains a proof of
equivalence of
nonnegative-integer-quotient and
floor, and serves
as a repository for other miscellaeous proofs, including those justifying
ACL2 modifications such as this one.
accumulated-persistence to break down results by useful vs.
useless rule applications. In particular, this provides information about
which rules were ever applied successfully, as requested by Bill Young.
Added coverage of
meta rules to the
Fixed a bug that was causing a
clause-processor hint to fire on a
subgoal of the goal to which it was attached, when the original application
didn't change the clause. Thanks to Dave Greve for pointing out this bug and
providing a useful example.
Fixed a bug in handling of computed hints related to the
stable-under-simplificationp parameter (see computed-hints). There were
actually two bugs. A minor but confusing bug was that the same goal was
printed twice upon application of such a hint. The major bug was that
:use hints (as well as other ``top'' hints:
:cases, and
:clause-processor) were not being applied properly. Thanks to Jared
Davis for sending an example some time ago that showed the duplicate
printing, and to Dave Greve for sending an example showing mis-application of
clause-processor hints. Note that you may find that existing
computed hints using the
stable-under-simplificationp parameter no longer
have the same behavior; see a comment about computed hints in
ACL2 source file
ld.lisp, for an example of how you might want to fix
such computed hints.
David Russinoff has contributed an updated version of
books/quadratic-reciprocity/ including minor modifications of the
treatment of prime numbers and a proof that there exist infinitely many
primes. Thanks to David for contributing this work, and to Jose Luis
Ruiz-Reina for posing the challenge.
Reduced the sizes of some certificate (
.cert) files by relaxing the
test that allows original
defpkg events to be placed there, rather
than evaluating the import list term into an explicit list of symbols.
Improved execution efficiency slightly for function
rcdp in file
books/misc/records.lisp, by using
mbe to introduce a tail-recursive
The executable script generated by
save-exec (and by the normal build
process) now includes a time stamp as a comment. Thanks to Jared Davis for
suggesting this change in order to support his use of
omake. In the
process, we also arranged that the startup banner for an executable created
save-exec shows all of the build (save) times, not just the one for
the original image.
Sped up most redundant
defpkg events by avoiding evaluation and sorting
of the imports list in the case of identical event forms. And, for
defpkg events that are not redundant, sped up their processing in Allegro
CL (and perhaps other Lisps, but apparently not GCL) by using our own
import function.
add-include-book-dir so that it refuses to associate a keyword
with a different directory string than one it is already bound to.
See delete-include-book-dir for how to remove the existing binding first.
Thanks to Robert Krug for pointing out that without this change, one can find
it difficult to debug a failure due to rebinding a keyword with
Added a new value for the
:do-not-induct hint (see hints),
:otf-flg-override, which causes ACL2 to ignore the
when considering whether to abort the proof because of a
hint. Thanks to Daron Vroon for suggesting such an addition.
Modified the printing of messages for entering and exiting raw mode
(see set-raw-mode), so that in particular they are inhibited during
include-book or whenever
observations are inhibited
(see set-inhibit-output-lst). Thanks to Peter Dillinger for suggesting such
a change.
(For system hackers only.) The handling of events of the form
(progn! (state-global-let* ...)) had a bug that was causing bindings to
be evaluated twice. Moreover, the use of system function
state-global-let* is suspect in raw Lisp. We have eliminated special
treatment of
state-global-let* by
progn! in favor of a new keyword
state-global-bindings, that provides the intended
functionality. See progn!. Moreover, special handling that allowed
make-event forms under
state-global-let* has been removed; the
desired effect can be obtained using (progn! :state-global-bindings ...).
Thanks to Peter Dillinger for pointing out the above bug and collaborating on
these changes.
Incorporated backward-compatible enhancements to
from Daron Vroon (documented near the top of that file).
The specification of
:backchain-limit-lst had required that only a single
linear, or
meta) rule be
generated. We have weakened this restriction to allow more than one rule
provided that each rule has the same list of hypotheses. For example, the
rule class
(:rewrite :backchain-limit-lst 1) is now legal for the
corollary formula
(implies (f x) (and (g x) (h x))), where this was not
formerly the case. Thanks to Dave Greve for bringing this issue to our

Tonight I finished transcribing one of the two existing diaries of my great-grandmother, Elvirta Graves Knutz; she started this particular journal in 1956 at the age of 66. I have 221 typed pages representing eleven years of her life.
When I started this project, I had hoped for two things: 1) to glean genealogical information, and 2) to get to know my great grandmother in a deeper, more personal way.
I did indeed fill in a lot of dates and family happenings, but was a little disappointed when it came to getting her perspective on life. She was very good at reporting events, both major events and daily activities, but she didn't share much of her feelings about those events. Once, she did let a little anger show regarding her husband's unwillingness to sell the farm and move to town; and another time, a bit of smug satisfaction at having shown him she wasn't quite as dumb as he seemed to think. It was fun to see these emotions in an otherwise quiet and dutiful wife and mother.
Not everyone has the opportunity to go back in time and spend 11 years with family members they love and miss; I have been extremely blessed to get to do just that. Over these years, I not only "spent time" with my great grandparents, but my beloved grandparents, and even my own parents, as teenagers and then newlyweds. In many ways, I felt like Marty McFly in "Back to the Future," watching as my parents courted, married, and began to raise a family. I found this becoming less and less of a transcription project, and more and more of a chance to spend time with people I hadn't seen in a very, very long while.
I didn't realize just how deeply I had been absorbed into this until the last few months of my great-grandfather's life, "listening" as my great grandmother told the difficult story of his death, and the days after. Like her, there were times I didn't think I wanted to keep going. But at the same time, I couldn't stop.
The diary ends abruptly the following year. Elvirta had gone to Arizona to visit her daughter, and had been there 7 months, and suddenly, there are no more pages. She lived another five years, so I assume there was another notebook somewhere. I hope the rest of it turns up some day, and I can resume our visit and finish her story.

The announcement from the club ends months of speculation about the future of the U.S. national team star and how long he would be away from the game.
"After a series of collaborative discussions between Landon, his representative and our key club leaders, we have agreed to allow Landon to remain on an extended leave of absence and return to training with the team during the final week of March," Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena said in a team statement.
"We understand this arrangement is not ideal, but we are confident it will allow Landon the time he needs to be both mentally and physically prepared for the upcoming season. We remain focused on our preparation for the start of the 2013 season and look forward to Landon rejoining us next month," Arena continued
The announcement also seemingly rules Donovan out of the next two World Cup qualifying matches for the United States, including a trip to Estadio Azteca to take on Mexico on March 26.

Already I feel silly because what difference it makes if those people prayed or not.

The first thing we need on our journey is a compiler that translates out haskell to javascript. On this page: The JavaScript Problem you can find a list of compilers that are able to do that. I will focus on UHC and haste. GHCJS also seems promising, and I might try it later.
So we want to write a little hello world program. The equivalent in javascript would be
document.write("Hello, World!");
which replaces the contents of the document with "Hello, World!". Let us get started.
The Utrecht Haskell Compiler has a backend allowing to compile haskell to javascript. This page links all the information about the JavaScript backend: UHC-JS
Installing UHC
First we have to install UHC. You can find the code for UHC here UHC GitHub. The build instructions can be found in the EHC sub directory.
But first some dependencies are needed. On ubuntu linux I install them with apt-get:
apt-get install ghc cabal-install build-essentials libtool uuagc
We also need to install a few haskell packages via cabal:
cabal update
cabal install network uulib syb fgl
To install UHC, first clone the repository and change into the EHC directory. Then build and install UHC.
git clone git://github.com/UU-ComputerScience/uhc.git
cd uhc/EHC
sudo make install
In blogs it is common to suggesting getting a cup of coffee at a moment like this, because the make command may take a while. So get a cup of coffee!
If everthing worked out, UHC should be installed and you can compile to javascript via
uhc -tjs Main.hs
(Or however your haskell file is called).
Hello World with UHC
We need to do two things:
- Get the document.
- Call write on the document with "Hello, World!" as parameter.
The FFI (ForeignFunctionInterface) of the js backend of UHC is described here Improving UHC js For our purposes, it works like this:
foreign import js "jscommand" haskellName :: Type
Where "jscommand" is the command in javascript, "haskellName" the name of the haskell function we want to define and "Type" the type of the haskell function. "jscommand" may contain "%N" where N is a number refering to the N-th parameter of the haskell function.
So to get the document we first define a type for it and then import a corresponding javascript command
data Document
foreign import js "document" getDocument :: IO Document
To get the document we just have to call "document" in javascript. This returns us the document in the IO monad. The document is in the IO monad because we a calling a foreign function which might have side effects.
Now we want to call "write" on a document.
foreign import js "%1.write(%2)" write :: Document -> JSString -> IO ()
Because the "%1" is in front of the ".write", the first argument to haskell function "write" (which is the document) is the object write is called on (this can all be found in Improving UHC js.
Note that the second argument is of type JSString and not of String. This is because a string in haskell is not the same as a string in javascript. We have to convert a haskell string to a javascript string
type JSString = PackedString
foreign import prim "primStringToPackedString" toJS :: String -> JSString
Now we are ready to write our hello world:
type JSString = PackedString
foreign import prim "primStringToPackedString" toJS :: String -> JSString
data Document
foreign import js "document" getDocument :: IO Document
foreign import js "%1.write(%2)" write :: Document -> JSString -> IO ()
main = do
doc <- getDocument
write doc $ toJS "Hello, World!"
Installing haste
Haste can be found here: Haste GitHub. Instructions for installation can also be found on that page (just read the Building section). It requires installation of fursuit, which can be found here: Fursuit GitHub.
Hello World with haste
Again, we need a way to import a function to get the document and to write into the contents of the document. Information on how to import javascript functions can be found in the doc subdirectory of the haste repository.
Update: The way FFI functions have to writting with haste has changed since the blog post has original been written. At that time returning values from javascript to haskell was a little bit more cumbersome. I have updated this blog post to reflect the new way of doing it. I hope I did not forget something in the process. So if you find an error, please comment.
Haste is not as flexible as UHC when importing JavaScript functions. It does not allow placing the parameters of the haskell function in the javascript code with "%N". It also does not allow the custom type "Document" to be used as a parameter or return type. Instead "JSAny" must be used.
So we create a file "helpers.hs" with out Javascript helper functions:
function objWrite(obj, text) {
obj.write(text); // Call the method
return; // Return ()
function getDocument() {
return document;
This now allows us to write hello world in Haste:
import Haste
import Haste.Prim
type Document = JSAny
foreign import ccall "objWrite" write :: Document -> JSString -> IO ()
foreign import ccall "getDocument" getDocument :: IO Document
main = do
doc <- getDocument
write doc $ toJSStr "Hello World!"
Compile this with:
hastec Main.hs --with-js=helpers.js
Now all we need to do is embed this file in a html page:
<!DOCTYPE html><html><head><title>Main</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="Main.js"></script>
Open this with a browser of your choice (I only tried chromium) and it should work.
Edit: Trying it out
As suggested in a comment, I have uploaded the compiled javascript file (the haste version because the UHC version has several dependencies) here: Hello, World!
Download it and this html file into the same directory. Than open the html with a browser of your choice (tested on ubuntu linux, chromium).
Edit: Rewrote with pandoc

A community driven resource directory of transgender friendly providers, services and community groups.
Trans411 was created by under-employed trans webheads in San Francisco, California (you may have heard of our previous project, safe2pee.org). We feel very lucky to live in a city where we have easy access to so many resources, but we know from experience that in too many places it is difficult for people to find quality and compassionate care. Though 'trans' is included in our title, and our target audience is transgender, transsexual, intersex, genderqueer and other gender non-conforming people we have a feeling our site will be able to serve a variety of constituencies, and acknowledge there is a great deal of diversity in gender identities and beyond.
We hope that this site allows a wide array of people to share their local knowledge about providers, groups and organizations that serve our community.

There is a lot to dislike about Citi Bike, New York City's new bike-sharing system. First of all, there are five Citi logos plastered onto each Citi Bike. This means, once all 10,000 Citi Bikes are in circulation, there will be 50,000 new Citi logos clogging the streets of New York. Citi, which paid $41 million to fund the program, could very easily have put just one of its logos on each bike. Or, better yet, could've left the logos off of the bikes and just put a few of its logos on the docking stations. The result would've been a more tasteful, less intrusive, subtler advertising campaign.
Speaking of docking stations, the City of New York could certainly have done a better job of informing residents where the Citi Bike stations would be placed. There've been several complaints by New Yorkers who say the city didn't let them know ahead of time about the placement of the docking stations, where the bikes can be rented. As a result, entrances to co-op buildings and places of businesses have been obstructed, parking spaces have disappeared, and blocks marked as historical landmarks now have large, ugly, gray structures taking up much of their beautiful scenery.
There is also the bike itself. Weighing in at a hefty forty-two-and-a-half pounds (more than double what a typical commuter bike weighs), a Citi Bike is not the most maneuverable of two-wheel vehicles. Nor is it the best looking. The bike has been called, at best, "dorky" by some cyclists who've taken one for a test ride. Meanwhile, other test riders, due to the build of the bicycles, have referred to the program as "Sissy Bike."
However, despite its flaws, there is also a lot to like about Citi Bike. And much of what to like about it has to do with how the program could impact New Yorkers' lives at work.
Imagine this scenario: It's mid-September, a beautiful seventy-one degrees with little humidity, and you and two colleagues have an afternoon meeting across town. You could a) Take a cab and risk being locked in crosstown traffic for nineteen minutes and thus arriving late, b) Take the crosstown 7, then transfer to the 1, missing out on the beautiful day while traveling underground, or c) All ride Citi Bikes to your meeting, getting there on time while enjoying the perfect New York late-summer day, not to mention getting in a little exercise, which might clear your heads before your meeting.
Or, imagine being able to have lunch at that new Midtown burger place you've been wanting to try, because it will now take you just ten minutes one way on a Citi Bike, whereas previously it would've taken you twenty via subway, meaning you'd never make it there and back with a full stomach of grass-fed beef in under an hour.
Or, say you're working into the evening at your office in Midtown, you want to meet friends downtown, and you want to get there before that pretty awesome happy hour special ends at 7 p.m. Of course, there's pretty much zero chance of you making it if you take a cab due to rush-hour traffic. And the thought of going underground to take the subway after you've been indoors all day sounds nearly unbearable. And so what you do instead is take a Citi Bike, avoiding the packed subway platform and cars, and arrive in time for not one but two specials.
Or, say you just want to get in some outdoor exercise during your lunch break. Instead of staying in one place on the stationery bike for forty minutes while an A/C vent blows ice-cold air onto the top of your head, you ride a Citi Bike up and down Hudson River Park, the afternoon sun and (relatively) fresh air on your head and shoulders.
Other scenarios I can imagine arising where you might want to take a Citi Bike in lieu of other transportation options while at work include: a doctor's appointment (you could save time and money by traveling by bike instead of train and taxi), running an errand (reaching destinations like a grocery store or barber shop that might otherwise take too long to walk or train to), or looking for another job (who knows, mentioning that you Citi Biked over to an interview could get your meeting off to a more informal, casual, conversational tone, which might just improve your chances of getting the job).
All that said, Citi Bike isn't free, and if you don't have an annual membership, which costs $95, the cost for a single ride will set you back $9.95. There's also the question of time. Even with an annual membership, you can only use a Citi Bike for forty-five minutes at a time (it's sort of like having an unlimited monthly MetroCard; you can ride the subway as much as you want during 30 days, but you have to wait a certain number of minutes in between uses).
Which brings me to this scenario: I can imagine a time in the not-so-distant future where, along with MetroCard, Long Island Railroad, and MetroNorth discounts, New York City employers also offer their employees Citi Bike discounts. Or, better, yet, free memberships.

DeLorme Earthmate PN-40 Handheld GPS - Best Onboard MapsPosted in How To on August 1, 2010
When it comes to handheld GPS units, Delorme already had a winner in the Earthmate PN-20. With near instantaneous satellite acquisition using a 12-channel STMicroelectronics GPS chipset and 75 MB of onboard memory, it held its own among the competition.
Delorme did not wait for someone to design a unit to outperform the PN-20. They designed the PN-40 to leave their own designs in the dust. The PN-40 is equipped with a 32-channel chipset that locks onto satellites in less than 60 seconds from the time it's powered on. It is capable of acquiring a 3-D lock in half the time of the PN-20.
A dual-core processor has been included to achieve rapid screen redraws. Displaying color aerial imagery on the screen is the most useful feature we have found on any GPS. With the PN-20, a screen refresh of such imagery took a couple seconds. With the PN-40, a changed view occurs as a flash on the screen.
The PN-40's onboard memory holds 500 MB of imagery, tracks, routes, and waypoints. If that's not enough space to get a job done, it accepts SD cards with up to 32 GB of storage. We loaded 14 square miles of color imagery onto the PN-40. That load occupied 52 MB of storage space. Using that experience model, it would theoretically be possible to store 10,000 square miles of aerial imagery on one 32GB SD card.
Aerial imagery is the most powerful tool available when trying to locate anything from a geocache to a faint trail in the woods. For example, if you are walking beside a creek, when you look at the screen, you can see yourself walking and you can see the creek beside you. While driving or walking through a neighborhood, you can see each individual house on the screen as you go past it. Basically, the picture you are looking at on the GPS unit is the same image you would see if you brought it up on GoogleMaps.com. The advantage is seeing your own position on that map.
The PN-40 is shipped with a copy of TopoUSA 7.0 with topographic maps for the entire country. The software is licensed to be installed on one desktop computer and one portable unit such as a laptop. Everything uploaded to the PN-40 or downloaded from the PN-40 is done through TopoUSA 7.0. For a subscription price less than $30, you can get unlimited downloads from the DeLorme server which includes a variety of satellite and aerial packages throughout the United States that overlay the preloaded maps.
If sharing trails and routes with friends is part of your routine, the PN-40 package is all you need. Everything you do on the PN-40 is stored in files that can be downloaded to TopoUSA and emailed to anyone you know. For example, email your track for a favorite campsite to a friend. They can upload it to their PN-40. Your route will display on the PN-40 and your friend can follow it step-by-step to your campfire.
The photos in this story provide two examples for how we used the PN-40. It also has a feature for creating door to door routes, but we use it primarily for plotting and tracking. The first example is a walk in the park.
The second is a hiking trip into a canyon that we plan to further explore in a couple months. Those who would like to go to the same places, use the GPS positions in the screen displays. If that doesn't work, send me an email.
Regardless of what your GPS requirements are, DeLorme's PN-40 and TopoUSA 7.0 will get you where you're going and back.

Excerpts from "At Home in the Unknown," a 1996 Bronk Interview with Mark Katzman
Is this house like a second skin to you?
BRONK: Not only skin, it has internal organs. Its the only place thats ever been home. Ive lived outside of it from time to time when I was in college, briefly in New York City and the service, but its the only place that I have ever really felt at home in. I wasnt really comfortable anywhere else.
Its been such a core part of your writing.
BRONK: Oh yeah. The house is a frequent metaphor with me. I think very likely that when I die it will be torn down. It has a two-wire electrical system. Its inadequately insulated. The plumbing is old. No modern person would put up with it.
Youve lived here alone for many years now, havent you?
BRONK: I think most peoples lives are pretty solitary. Even people who go to offices or factories where there are lots of other people. I remember a woman I would have said had lived a great deal of her life in a quite satisfactory marriage, had several children. Her husband died, and I was commiserating with her. She said, "Ive always been alone." And I was surprised but the more I thought about it, the more I thought, yeah, shes one of the few honest people in the world. And she certainly was a woman that not only had that family. She had lots of friends and was not a recluse at all. She was out every day, meeting
people, enjoying them. The woman from next door, whose children were grown, lost her husband, but not too long after that she told me that she was going to marry a man in Florida, whom she had grown up with and gone to school with here. I said, "Nothin like first love, is there." And she said, "Who the hells ever said anything about love. She said, I cant live alone." "Oh," I said, "I live alone." She says, "The hell you do. I dont know anybody that has more people in his house than you do!" It was pretty much true at that time. There were a lot of young people that were here most of the time, coming and going, you know. But I was still living alone. Ive always had close friends. I may not have had as many casual friends as lots of people do but I think Ive more close friends than most people do.
When did you begin writing?
BRONK: I began writing things in High School because of a teacher that I had who had a great influence on me. Shes still alive, God bless her. But what I was writing at that time were imitations of one person or another. When I went to Dartmouth my teacher was Sidney Cox. Im sure that I began writing things for him that were poems and were mine.
At that point did you know that you would follow that course and continue to write seriously?
BRONK: No, I didnt know it, though it wouldnt have surprised me. There wasnt conscious planning or a definite goal. It was simply something was happening that I hoped might continue to happen. Writing is something that happens to the writer. And if it doesnt happen again to the reader, you might as well not have read it. In either case its a happening. Literature is about the reader's experience of the work. Its the reader that makes the work. Some people expect that the reading experience of the work is going to be made for them. But, unless the reader really makes the work, it might as well not be read. If it isnt doing something to the reader, its not authenticated.
Are you a pencil and paper man when you work? Do you sit at the typewriter?
BRONK: [holds up sheet of white paper bearing a few lines in his spidery script] This was yesterday. I dont know whether its finished or not. Im not making it any longer but I might need to rephrase something. I hate to type. Ive never really learned to use the typewriter. I dont hunt and peck anymore because I know pretty much where the keys are but nevertheless Im watching. Its always by hand. Sometimes I hear the whole thing before I even have a pencil or a pen in my hand. Back in the days when I mowed the lawn a poem might happen while I was mowing. It would have nothing to do with mowing. It would start working in my head. That was the way also when I was walking. I tried to remember to carry a stub of pencil with me. I could always pick up an old cigarette package or something and jot some things down so I wouldnt forget them before the time I got home. Very often now I wake up at night in the middle of a poem or wake up in the morning with something going on in my head and I say, no, no, thats not a poem. But it keeps insisting, you know, look at me. I might get up, start shaving, whatever, and go, ah, ah go back and get my workbook and write down a few lines. Theres no advanced planning. It comes as a surprise. Oh, oh, is that so? [laughs] When I was writing The Brother in Elysium I pretty much had to plan, but I didnt always know where I was going. As a matter of fact I can remember I would come to a point at which Id say to myself, Where the hell do I go from here? And usually that would straighten itself out when Id be walking. Id go for a walk in the afternoon and be somewhere out in the countryside and realize, Oh, yeah, I know now. When I write tomorrow I will do such and such. A sentence or a paragraph or a direction would occur to me. It was a way to get away from the desk. I think we have to get away from the desk and do something physical, otherwise were in a trap that we dont see our way out of. If you stay inside it you can get lost. You have to re-approach it. Its a matter of replenishing your energy. Getting a fresh view of things.
How much do you revise?
BRONK: I revise very little. And the revisions are not really re-writings at all. In most workshops and creative writing classes youre advised to re-write and re-write. If the poem isnt there theres no point in trying to write it. And if the poem is there, leave it alone. Very frequently I think that Im improving something. I make the improvements and then the next day realize that it was right the first time. Leave it alone.
How do you feel about giving poetry readings?
BRONK: I like to read to a person or two or three here in the house. Its like having a conversation. Public readings are something else again. I was never invited very often. In recent years I have been invited and have refused because I dont want to do it anymore. Success is awfully hard to take. Its corrupting. And were all, including me, corruptible.
Whats the origin of the Bronk family?
BRONK: A man named Jonas Bronck came into New Amsterdam in the early 17th century and bought the land which is now the Bronx. An Indian treaty was made in his house. After he died, Pieter Bronck, who was thought to be his son, and Jonass widow moved up to Fort Orange, Albany. Her second husband was Arend Van Curler, the founder of Schenectady. But the historian who is now the head of the Bronx County Historical Society says that Jonas Bronck died "without issue." Pieter Bronck went to Coxsackie and built a house there which is still standing. He was very likely to have been a younger brother of Jonas. [pointing to document] This is the Arms of Jonas. All of these elements later became part of the seal of New York City and New York State. The motto is from the Aneid: Do not yield to evil. And when the treaty was made to the Indians in New York City they felt they had to have a seal to seal it with and so they used Jonass seal on the flag he had flying on his ship, The Fire of Troy. Apparently he was a merchant trader in the North Sea, with a Dutch wife. According to the historian he was a Swede.
Theres a picture among your archives on the University of New Hampshire
web site of your mother. Was she a Congresswoman?
BRONK: She was on the New York State Republican Committee. She was raised in Greenwich, Connecticut and had uncles in Schuylerville, New York. Shed come up and spend summers with them. Thats how they met. My father had a contracting business and had a job to build a lock or a damn or something or other in Schuylerville.
What do you remember most about him?
BRONK: That he was an enterprising and successful businessman. My father was William. Im William M. Jr. The M is an initial only. It came about because when my father was born they were expecting a girl that they were going to name Minnie. And to their great disappointment my father appeared so they named him William with an initial only M. Minnie came along several children later. I dropped the M and when my father died I dropped the Jr. I like things to be as simple as possible and two names are enough for me.
When did he start the coal company?
BRONK: In 1923 he bought a coal franchise from a widow who didnt want to continue with it. In those days you couldnt just set up in the coal business because no one would sell you coal. He was always interested in new enterprises. Four years later he went into the building material business, lumber and such. He built the lumber company across the road. Then he took on fuel oil. And before he died he started the first concrete business in this area. In the meantime hes been a bank president, but the bank got lost in the Depression. When Roosevelt came into power in the early 30s part of the New Deal was to set up state public welfare departments which had not existed before. My father was the first Commissioner of Public Welfare in this county. He had quite a varied and successful business life but was only 52 when he died. I really had very little interest in the business but I did take it over after the war. I thought, Ill go in it temporarily. His brother had been running it since 1941 when my father died until after the war was over. I thought Id find somebody to manage it. We didnt feel confident of his brother. So I was there temporarily which lasted thirty-some years. My sister Jane had been in the business after she got out of college until she got married, which was, oh, 6 or 7 years later. She was like my father. She loved business. She wouldve made a better manager than I did. I didnt get rich but I made a living and it gave me a great deal of freedom as far as my writing life was concerned. And there were times when I enjoyed it. I enjoyed the people. The customers and the staff. I liked the social part of business. My father was not one to belong to service organizations and neither was I so when the business day was over the business day was over.
If, as you write, "All worlds are temporary," is anything permanent?
BRONK: Yeah. I think there is permanence. Its not worldly but that nevertheless we are living in. Were living in a very precise location. Hudson Falls, New York or Binghamton, New York or wherever in the last years of the twentieth century. Those things seem important to us. But somebody from Sumner or Thebes or Babylon felt the same way; that they were in a very distinct time and place. But those worlds are all gone. And presumably ours will go also.
Everythings relative?
BRONK: What isnt?
What is the real world?
BRONK: [laughs] How could you ask me what something inexpressible is? I dont know. I have a feeling that there is, somehow, somewhere, a reality, and that, possibly, we are even in contact with it. All this business about aliens and other civilizations our own civilization is as relative and temporal and foreign really as alien civilizations are. There may be alien civilizations but we have no idea what they might be. I wouldnt be able to begin to make any description of a real world any more than I could make visualization or a physicality of a god. Those are concepts which are beyond our temporality and our relativism.
Do you believe, in any way, shape or form, in reincarnation?
BRONK: No, I dont. I dont think that the terms life and death, as we commonly use them, have much relation to what may be going on, really. Im not sure that we truly have an incarnation let alone a reincarnation. Incarnation is as mystical and immaterial as anything could be. If you believe in reincarnation you pretty much have to believe that youre leading a real life, that youre really alive. Which I find hard to believe. That we live in those kind of hard terms. In the sense that we speak of the computer world, there is a text of some kind that can be printed as a hard copy but what comes out as hard copy is not a reality. A belief in reincarnation says that there are material realities that get repeated, that get restated in other terms. I dont feel confident of that at all.
[. . . .]
Ill read you a poem. "We go looking through the universe for someone other than us/We are other than us/Turn Hubbell here, look at us/We are other than us." That is, we are other than the way we speak and think of ourselves. We take ourselves for granted as an undeniable reality. I have no quarrel with material evolution. Of course it happened. We are created in a mortal form. The terms dont interest me. Some people are very satisfied with one story or another, of who we are and why. I dont find any such explanation satisfactory. And theres no point in arguing against it. If anybody wants to believe that, OK, but it does not represent my experience. I cant specify what I think as an argument against what most people are thinking. But I feel quite certain that there explanation is not correct. [imitating W.C. Fields] All right, give us another one. I dont have one to give. But I dont accept someone elses. And thats what I mean, "We are other than us." We are other than we are commonly spoken of. Let the Hubbell telescope turn around and look at us and see if they can find something that they havent seen before. The most recent statement is called For All We Know. "Dont we know it all!/Everything/Language is what we lack/Neither the words we have nor our syntax say certain things." But I have the feeling that, yeah, we may very well know it all. Everything. We just simply cant articulate it. Have no way to say it in comprehensible language but I think possibly we actually know it. . . .

Two years ago Peter reported on our friend and colleague Katya Herman, who had built herself the above bike desk for about $40 (bike not included). All you needed was a bike, a wind/mag trainer, and the secret ingredient:
the special secret ingredient to the Herman Cycling Computer Desk is…..an ironing board. That's right – the ironing board is not just for ironing your socks, as it can also double as a laptop stand. In case you don't own one (like yours truly – really who irons anymore?) then you can purchase this archaic device online for under 40 dollars.
Recently Katya emailed to let us know that she has improved her design, and I thought it would be worth sharing here.
Equipment needed:
- Nylon strong
- Bungee cord
- IKEA Brada laptop support
Assuming that you have some sort of string kicking around, the only thing you actually need to buy is the laptop support, which can be purchased for a whopping $4.99 (If you really want to keep costs down, I think they might actually give you free twine at IKEA to help tie up your stuff). In her email, Katya noted that the new model was better because it was far more space efficient (the laptop support takes up a lot less room than an ironing board!) and she now has access to her handle bars even when the laptop support is attached.
Below are two pictures that Katya was nice enough to include in her email.
I have a bike trainer that I use for workouts when the weather is particularly nasty (mainly in winter), and also when I want to get in a quick workout while simultaneously getting some reading or course planning done. In fact, I spent about 40 minutes on the bike while making my teaching plans for weekly labs this year and found it quite a good way to be active while getting work done. However I have yet to try to convert it into an actual desk that will support my laptop. It might be worth a try!
I should also add that the bike desk wouldn't need to be restricted to actual "workouts" – you could also use it to simply pedal at an extremely light workload throughout the day. I use a small pedal machine under my own desk from time to time to accomplish the same task, although I'll admit that I don't do it nearly as often as I'd like (standing desks really are the way to go for reducing workplace sedentarism!).
Huge thanks to Katya for keeping us posted on her ever-evolving bike desk. Let us know if you've tried something similar, or if you have any tips for would-be bike desk users!

Kawasaki launches Z1000 and Ninja 1000 in India at Rs 12 lakh each – Firstbiz
Kawasaki launches Z1000 and Ninja 1000 in India at Rs 12 lakh each
N ew Delhi: Japanese two-wheeler major Kawasaki today launched in India its globally popular premiumend bikes, the Z1000 and Ninja 1000, priced at Rs 12 lakh each (ex-showroom Delhi).
The company is looking to sell a total of around 250 units annually in India from its four models of premium motorcycles, including the Ninja ZX-14R and ZX -10R which were launched in September this year.

Apart from the premium sports bikes, the company is also considering expanding its portfolio by bringing high-end adventure or cruiser bikes to India.
With the launch of these two new bikes, we will have four models in the premium superbike segment. We are looking at a total of about 250 units annually from these four models, India Kawasaki Motors Deputy Managing Director Niskikawa Shigeto told PTI from Pune, where the bikes were launched.
The company has set an initial target of 100 units per year each for the Z1000 and Ninja 1000 models, he said, adding another 50 units could come together from the Ninja ZX-14R and ZX -10R models.
Both the Z1000 and Ninja 1000 are powered by a 1,043 cc engines. These two models will be imported as completely built units from Japan and will be retailed through the existing standalone showroom of Kawasaki in Pune and in Delhi.
With the two new launches, Kawasaki will now sell six models in India. Already, the Ninja 300 and Ninja 600 are sold at the Probiking showrooms of its Indian partner Bajaj Auto.
These models are priced between Rs 3.5 lakh to Rs 5 lakh.
When asked if the premium superbikes could be assembled in India at Bajaj Auto's plant, Shigeto replied in the negative.
We don't have plans for any CKD (completely knocked down) assembly of our premium motorcycles in India. It is due to the need for training technicians and also need for expansion of capacity for which we would need volumes to justify, he said.
Each model will need to have a sales volume of about 160-200 units per year for CKD to happen, Shigeto said.
Commenting on new model line-up, he said: Once we build these brands, we will expand the Kawasaki range of premium end bikes. We will consider launching adventure or cruiser bikes in the next two years in India.
Stating that the Indian high-end motorcycle market offers tremendous growth opportunities, India Kawasaki Motors Managing Director Yuji Horiuchi said the company is launching the two new models to further strengthen its presence targeted at specific audiences.
India Kawasaki Motors will expand its business territory in a phase-wise manner. With its focus on Maharashtra and NCR; the expansion will follow in the rest of the country, the company said.

The Leave-In Spray That Saved My Hair at Coachella
If you lighten your hair on a regular basis, you're probably well aware of the struggle to keep your strands healthy and vibrant in the summer. I normally stick to a little oil on the ends of my locks, which keeps my hair hydrated, but doesn't prevent or camouflage the dreaded brassy tone summer can bring.
On day three of Coachella, when my hair was particularly dry and unruly, I borrowed a friend's It's a 10 Miracle Leave-In for Blondes ($19). I applied the creamy, purple-tinted formula all over my just-washed hair and combed through before heading to the festival. Much to my surprise, I ended up with air-dried hair that looked like it had been professionally styled. Seriously, this seemingly-average leave-in detangles, and makes hair glossy and smooth. It turns out it also protects hair from UV rays and is a thermal protectant for the days you do blow-dry. Needless to say, I found love in an unlikely place.
