The transport researchers at DLR are open to strategic cooperation with excellent universities and research institutes, as well as leading companies. For, it is our firm belief and conviction, that only pooling scientific capacities and joint use of large-scale research infrastructures allow for the comprehensive handling of the great and complex challenges of our time. Only by combining our resources we can achieve locational advantages in global competition. Nevertheless, beyond our many cooperations there is still a tense relation, which is characterized by competition for the most innovative topics, for the very best minds, as well as for industrial and public third-party funding.
Universities and Research Institutes
The transport institutes of universities form an essential pillar in the transport research done in Germany and other European countries. Publicly or privately funded research institutes complement the range. We endeavor not to act as a competitor to these institutes and research organizations, but rather to complement these and engage specifically in large-scale research. In so doing, we want to create concrete added value for German transport research, thus, being able to achieve more together with our partners at national and European level.
Our institute directors and research managers are jointly appointed with leading universities. This ensures close collaboration in research and teaching, as well as access to very well trained young scientists. Outstanding representatives of universities and research institutes participate directly in discussing our activities, be it as selected members of the DLR supervisory boards, as consulting colleagues on the advisory boards of our institutes and projects, or as reviewers on evaluations of our research work.
We maintain particularly close cooperation with university partners within the scope of the Virtual Institutes co-funded by the Helmholtz Association. With the four Virtual Institutes on Human Automation, Design of Safety-critical Automotive Systems, Traffic Analyses, and Airport Planning and Management, acquired so far in a Helmholtz-wide competition, we were far above average with our success rate. Furthermore, the Transport Programme convinced with its proposals for several Helmholtz University Young Investigators Groups. For example, the 2010 successfully completed Helmholtz-University Young Investigators Group SeaKLIM offered a well-selected post doctoral researcher the opportunity to manage a research group both at the University of Bremen and at the DLR for five years and gather extensive teaching experience at the same time. Together with the Technical University of Berlin in 2010, we also established the Helmholtz Research School on Security Technologies. With the support of the Initiative and Networking Fund of the Helmholtz Association, 22 highly talented postdoctoral students from home and abroad get three years of disciplinary training as well as professional qualification and personality training.
However, we have not only intensified our collaboration with external partners from science and industry, but also with other Research Fields of the Helmholtz Association: Energy, Earth and Environment, as well as Key Technologies are in our focus here. As far as the Helmholtz Centers are concerned, our most important partners are the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), the Forschungszentrum Jülich (FZJ) and the Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht (HZG). Moreover, we check to what extent cooperation with the Helmholtz Zentrum München on the epidemiological effects of transport can be expedient.
Mobility as such is an essential prerequisite for the positive development of the German economy. However, transport industry companies, which in addition to large automotive and rail vehicle manufacturers as well as system vendors also include a multitude of small and medium-sized enterprises, also represent an important economic factor with considerable value creation.
All German automobile manufacturers have large in-house research and development departments. We maintain close ties with these departments, which is manifested in a large number of cooperations and projects with both system vendors and suppliers. The German railroad industry is also characterized by medium-sized suppliers and global companies, whose portfolios range from rail vehicles to turn-key rail systems. We work closely with these companies as well as with the leading railroad operators. In the fields of road, rail, and maritime traffic management as well as airport management, too, we collaborate with leading manufacturers and suppliers.
We endeavor to expand the extent and intensity of our relations with industrial companies by means of strategic agreements. This also includes the appointment of industrial representatives to the supervisory boards of the DLR, to institute and project advisory boards, as well as involving them into external evaluations. When our own developments approach marketability, we promote spin-offs founded by employees or commercially utilize patents and licenses by selling them to existing companies. In so doing, we create additional jobs in the high-technology sector.
Technology Platforms and Associations
Technology Platforms and associations are representatives and multipliers of the interests of their members. At the same time, they offer important professional and strategic discussion forums, multifaceted contact areas and high-quality information exchanges. We are, therefore, actively involved in organizations relevant to us at national and European level, a few of which we will introduce in the following paragraphs.
The German Academy of Science and Engineering (acatech) is the voice of engineering and technology, both at Germany and abroad. In acatech, we provide the deputy speaker for the topic network on mobility. The German Association of Transport Research (DVWG) is an independent platform for knowledge and experience transfer between theory and practice of transport development. As president and managing director, we are significantly shaping the work of the Rhineland-chapter of the association. The German Transport Forum (DVF), an association of more than 160 German and European companies, promotes initiatives, ideas and impulses for improving the transport conditions in Germany and Europe. We are represented in a number of DVF steering committees.
The European Conference of Transport Research Institutes (ECTRI) is an association of 26 leading transport research institutes in Europe. We are a co-initiator and founding member of ECTRI. After several years of direct managerial reesponsibility we are currently leading the Strategy Task Force and are committed to several thematic working groups. Furthermore, we are a partner of ERTICO – ITS Europe. More than 100 partners from industry, science, and administration promote and support the deployment of intelligent transport systems and services across Europe. As an elected member of the Strategy Committee, we decisively contribute to determining the future focus of ERTICO. The DLR is also a member of the Association of European Transport (AET), in which 350 members form a broad network in research, industry, and administration. The AET also organizes the important European Transport Conference (ETC).
Furthermore, we provide the national representative for the technology platform on rail transport, the European Rail Research Advisory Council (ERRAC). The DLR Transport Programme also contributes to shaping the policy of the European Road Transport Research Advisory Council (ERTRAC), the technology platform for road transport. In cooperation with leading research organizations, we took part in establishing the European Transport Research Alliance (ETRA) in September 2012. The alliance is an exchange forum that monitors and supports the formation of a European Research Area in Transport (ERA-T).
On the invitation of the US American Transportation Research Board (TRB), we participate in the TRB International Committee, which is engaged, on the one hand, in the international perspectives regarding the challenges of transport, and, on the other, in international networking. In the TRB Conduct of Research Committee, we deal with an increase in the quality and efficiency of transport research through appropriate planning and management processes.
Moreover, we are also active in further platforms and in many specialized professional associations at national, European and international level. We are also committed to the relevant committees and decision-making bodies for drawing up norms and standards.

A Perfect Weekend
It is amazing how much you can accomplish in a weekend sometimes.
I finished the first sock of a new design.
I figured out how to skype and caught up with Knittinggolfer.
I got a pedicure. It is spring!
I enjoyed an evening walk Friday with Lil' Snowboarder and Snowboarder to pizza dinner, the bookstore, and then ice cream.
Lil' Snowboarder had her first sleepover at my house. Just girls. I made homemade pancakes the next morning.
I blogged. Twice (well, yes. I am counting this pictureless post as a post).
I roasted veggies and grilled chicken for the week ahead. Healthy eating is a bit easier that way.
I watched New Moon.
Hey, its an easy movie to knit too. No judgement.
And I knit some more.
I also made a mental list of all the must-knits and want-to knits. That will be tomorrow's post. Along with some yarn pictures.
How was your weekend? Hope it was great!

I knit to New Moon too! :) The weekend sounds like it was perfect - if only it weren't Monday - groan.

I agree with Peaknits. If only it wasn't Monday!
I relaxed and knit much of the weekend. Took two walks because the weather is finally springlike. Celebrated my Mom's 74th birthday!

You had my idea of a good weekend. Weekends seem to have gotten very busy. I need to make a concentrated effort to spend one at home!

That sounds like a great weekend! I went to a hockey tourney, slept late on Sunday, read some, watched New Moon, and knit. Today it's back to reality!

Started with a pedi too :0). Then broke the Lenten fast at our community Spring Fling party - lots of fun.
Knit some socks too :0)

Nice weekend! I still haven't seen Twilight yet... not judging, just haven't gotten around to it. I'd rather watch NCIS reruns for the 6th time, which says more about my NCIS fetish than the Twilight saga...

Yay for perfect weekends!
Yay for New Moon and limoncello for camp! How many sleeps? (Oops, keep forgetting about that homework.)

Your weekend sound like fun, and you got stuff done, too. What more can one ask for? I'm not into TWilight, but not judging others...lol...I watched Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog with my son....so no, no judging here!

I knew I was supposed to buy something this week (New Moon) Well I crocheted all weekend..Glad you had a good one!

Mary's Picks
- How beautiful are these cakes by Charm City Cakes that Grace featured on Design Sponge this week? I echo her sentiments in missing the show, but on the other hand I think we cancelled our cable right about the time the show was cancelled. I'm loving the origami ruffles and those teal and gold chevron strips. Beautiful!
- When I was in Japan three years ago, the beautiful gardens tucked away in the busy city of Tokyo were absolutely breathtaking. The wisteria tunnel shown on Honestly…WTF this week makes me miss being in Japan so much.
- Nicole from Making it Lovely has such beautiful, feminine style and I'm loving how she painted the trim and wall space above the wallpaper in her dining room. That gray with the little pink and black bird is so pretty! (Also, apparently my word for this weeks reads is Beautiful)
Jess's Picks
- Whoa. I love the transformation of the appropriately titled Reader Redesign: Ka-Powder Room at Young House Love. That trellis stenciling looks so polished!
- I really like this All-American Bottle Cap Wall Art tutorial from Man Made DIY. Kyle and I must start saving bottle caps — and tasting a variety of regional craft brews — to make our very own.
- This {closet & casa} with amanda jane jones… at Oh Joy! has the prettiest palette. My bedroom from about 7th grade through 11th grade was done in very similar shades. It reminds me of water and water reminds me of swimming and swimming makes me so happy. I'm totally digging this grown-up version of it.
- Speaking of being fun with color (and an adult), I think all of the brights in this rusta upp roundup of inspiration are great. I think I'm going to have to learn Swedish, because lately I just can't get enough of this blog. Good thing all of these ideas come from an English-speaking big box hardware company.

Short review: The bored housewives and broke college girls at Cable Guy Sex will do just about anything to save a little money, including fuck their cable guy for some free cable. After all, cable TV is expensive and couch potatoes aren't exactly known for being rich. The twist, however, comes when they find out the guy they just screwed isn't even the cable guy. Oops! Oh well, at least they get an orgasm or two out of the deal.

Base Camp necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 132 diseños de 21 diseñadores freelance.
Base Camp Consulting, LLC.
We are a consulting company that focuses on recruiting (head hunting/job placement) in the outdoor industry. Our main customers are serious outdoors companies like: patagonia, the north face, marmot, etc. Check out our website for company details: basecamptalent.com
We are in love with the current logo on our site (basecamptalent.com) but it is stolen. So we need our own.
We would like to keep the circular design, the "free tibet" solar flares, the balance between positive and negative space (especially how the mountains become the foreground), the linocut styling, and the simple lines.
We would like to change the tent to represent a dome tent that you would see at the base of Everest, the design to be ours (similar to what we have, but not the same) and add to the logo our company name "Base Camp Consulting" (however, we would like for the logo text and the logo emblem to be able to be separated for different contexts).
base-camp-logo-black-red.png is a modified design (only colors have been changed from the stolen original)
Photo feb 04, 7 47 42 PM.jpg example of a dome tent design (a bit too 2d)
Base Camp logo.ai is the vector file for our current logo, also has a mess of design concepts (we like the dome tent here) and the original, stolen logo
All that said, if you come up with something else that is awesome, we'll take that too. That's how we flow.

SAN JOSE, Calif. – In the series opener between UC Santa Barbara and host San Jose State at Municipal Stadium, sophomore utility player Robby Nesovic doubled home Joey Epperson in the top of the 10th inning to break a 2-2 deadlock and give the Gauchos a hard-fought win over the Spartans, who had a chance to tie the game in the bottom half but couldn't come up with a clutch hit.
UCSB improved to 2-0 following the win, while SJSU dropped to 1-5. The Gauchos have won eight straight games over the Spartans dating back to the 2011 season.
Epperson, UCSB's senior third baseman, led off the first frame of extra innings with a four-pitch walk, and then advanced to second on a Peter Maris sacrifice bunt. After working into a 3-1 hitter's count, Nesovic lined a D.J. Sharabi pitch down the left field line for a standup two-bagger, easily scoring the Gauchos leadoff man.
The Spartans made it interesting in the next half-inning, landing a runner in scoring position with nobody out after a UCSB throwing error. However, the Gauchos bullpen was unflappable, with junior lefty Greg Mahle getting Sheldon Daquioag to roll over before sophomore closer Dillon Tate – making his first appearance of the season – coaxed two consecutive SJSU groundouts to end the game.
It was another strong overall performance by the UCSB bullpen, which put together five shutout innings to lead the team to victory in Tuesday's season-opener. Sophomore Connor Baits, Mahle, and Tate combined to toss another four scoreless innings on Friday. Mahle would end up with the win, his first of the season, while Tate picked up his first save in his new role.
Receiving a no-decision in the victory was sophomore starter Justin Jacome, who allowed just two runs and struck out four in six innings of work. He scattered seven hits – all singles – to keep the Gauchos in contention. Despite the strong effort, he allowed RBI singles in the second and fourth innings, leaving the game in line for the loss.
The UCSB offense would come to Jacome's rescue in the eighth inning. Junior second baseman Woody Woodward started the charge with a leadoff infield single, reaching second on a Nesovic sac bunt. With two outs, Tyler Kuresa – Tuesday's home run hero – sent an 0-1 pitch right back up the middle to plate Woodward and knot the score.
Four Gaucho batters ended the night with multiple hits, including Woodward, Nesovic, centerfielder Andrew Calica, and leftfielder Cameron Newell. Calica's seeing-eye single into left field plated Newell in the second inning to open the scoring and give UCSB a short-lived lead.
San Jose State was led offensively by leftfielder Brett Bautista, who went 3-4 with one of his team's RBIs. Starter Johnny Melero went 5.2 innings and allowed just one run on eight hits.
The Gauchos and Spartans go right back at it tomorrow afternoon, with first pitch scheduled for 1:00 p.m. UCSB freshman righty Shane Bieber is set to make his collegiate debut opposite SJSU's Jonathan Hernandez.

Lowestoft man who helped boost Norwich Lanes hanged himself from bridge
PUBLISHED: 08:42 28 February 2013 | UPDATED: 08:42 28 February 2013
A prominent Norwich businessman who hanged himself near his home in south Lowestoft had a history of depression, an inquest heard yesterday.
The body of Clive Rowe, who was a founding member of the Norwich Lanes Traders' Association, was found under a footbridge in November last year.
An inquest in Lowestoft heard the body of Mr Rowe, 59, of Monkshood Close, had been found in undergrowth under the bridge by a passer-by.
After noticing he was not at home on the morning of Monday, November 19, his wife had gone searching for him in the local area and had then found a suicide note when she came home.
Suffolk coroner Peter Dean, recording a verdict that Mr Rowe took his own life, said: "It does appear there was a history of depression that Mr Rowe had suffered on occasions.
"It is clear from the note and the manner in which Mr Rowe was discovered that he did understand the outcome of his actions."
The inquest heard that Mr Rowe had given no indication of what he had intended to do and the night before he killed himself the father of two had enjoyed a family meal.
Dr Dean said his family was having a "difficult time" finding reasons for his actions and he said they were very much in his thoughts.
Mr Rowe had helped his wife grow the women's clothes shop Walkers, originally in Norwich's Pottergate and now based in Upper Goat Lane.
As well as being a founding member of the Norwich Lanes Traders' Association, Mr Rowe had been chairman of the group from 2007 to 2009 and had been said to be have been a pioneer in making Norwich Lanes and its independent stores a success.
Mr Rowe had been married for 32 years and he had two children, Mark and Becky.
He was a keen sailor and enjoyed walking and cycling.

The Evite of group travel planning.
Name: LastBash.com
What it does: This group trip-planning platform lets you build and edit an itinerary with several users.
What's hot: I love the dashboard. You can see who has accepted your invite and message the group. There's even a section on how to track and split expenses among the group. However, my favorite feature is the ability to poll group members about a topic. I was able to ask family members about whether they wanted to stay in a hotel, share one vacation rental or have their own separate vacation rental — a huge time saver. No one wants to read a long email chain or call nine people to ask a simple question.
What's not: I wanted to use LastBash to organize a multigenerational family foodie trip to Charleston, S.C., so when I went to its blog to look for tips on how to use the site or examples of good itineraries I found a lot of bachelor and bachelorette party references. Even the default to add an activity starts with Bar/Club (alphabetical listing). So if you're planning something other than a total rager or a guys or girls getaway, give it a second chance before you get turned off. The site is still useful.

Holy cow! Bovine quadruplets born on Cuba farm
September 20, 2013
PICADURA, Cuba (AP) — Holy Cow! A Cuban dairy farmer says one of his cows has given birth to four healthy calves, a highly rare occurrence.
Veterinarian Andres Rodriguez runs state-owned dairy No. 128 in Picadura, about 44 miles (70 kilometers) east of Havana.
He says he was shocked when he went to a help a 3-year-old cow named Aleli give birth Aug. 29. She'd already had one calf when he got to her. Then another was born. And another, and another.
Three are male, and one a hermaphrodite.
According to U.S. and European experts, the odds of delivering live quadruplet calves are one in 11 million births. If all are the same gender, the odds rise to one in 179 million. No numbers could be found for a quad birth including a hermaphrodite.

Somers Jewelry
Somers Randolph
Somers Randolph is not a jewelry designer, he is a sculptor.
SOMERS jewelry starts its life as soapstone sculpture, hand-carved by Somers Randolph. To keep the integrity of the original soapstone, each piece is molded, cast solid and hand finished in a five step polishing process. Stone becomes silver and gold, the alchemy of the SOMERS collection.
But before there was alchemy, there was chemistry.
Somers Randolph is a nationally recognized sculptor. He has carved stone for over thirty years, in Santa Barbara, in Nashville, and now in Santa Fe. Hillary Fitzpatrick traveled from New York's high-profile fashion world to Santa Fe in 1999. She parked in Somers' driveway to tour Canyon Road galleries. He invited her for a cup of coffee. They were married just over a year later.
In the meantime, Hillary discovered a trunk full of his tiny soapstone carvings and decided to apply her fashion experience to a sculptor's whittlings. They cast the miniature sculptures in silver and gold, creating sculpture as jewelry.
To understand the appeal of SOMERS jewelry, simply wear a piece. Feel the weight of solid silver and pure gold. Experience its substance and allure at the throat, on the ears or wrist. This is jewelry that demands to be picked up and held, to be worn and cherished.
One word describes SOMERS jewelry...timeless. Always striking, forever fashionable, these elegant designs eclipse seasonal trends with classic style.

Who figured it would be this painful to watch the Bears' offense after the season-opener against the Colts?
They looked like they could pass. They always could run the ball. All the toys worked.
Then they couldn't pass with any rhythm and couldn't run enough to dominate a game, or wouldn't commit to it. Who has more D-cell batteries?
I don't know what the offense was trying to do in the first half against Jacksonville on Sunday. I do know it was aggravating.
A delay-of-game penalty. A string of third downs that weren't converted. An interception. An odd call call on third-and-short. Geez, how were the Bears tied at 3 at halftime?
I don't care if it's on the road. Answer me.
Charles Tillman changed the game with another pick-6. The interception return for the second straight game was a terrific testament to his career, but he's not supposed to have more touchdowns than his offense.
Mercifully, the Bears showed some life in the second half again, mounting a long drive that was sabotaged by Gabe Carimi's false-starts and finally getting into the end zone on a slant to Alshon Jeffery.
But it shouldn't take a half to figure this out the way it has the last two weeks. It shouldn't look this clunky. We shouldn't feel this frustrated.
The win might get the players some extra days off heading into the off week, but that's not what the offense needs. The offense needs practice.
In fact, this game should've looked like a practice. The Jags have a bad defense, ranking in the bottom five against the pass and the run. They came in with two sacks. They had allowed six rushing touchdowns. They gave up an average of more than 250 yards in the air and 150 on the ground. It should've been all you can eat out of the playbook.
Matt Forte averaged 5.7 yards a carry in the first half, but the Bears only ran him 10 times. Weren't the Bears talking about committing to the run last week?
I know Cutler loves Brandon Marshall -- and he loved the big wideout for 12 catches, 144 yards and a score -- but other guys can play. Other guys need to play better, starting with Cutler.
Cutler didn't look sharp early again. He played like a stud late again.
In the first two quarters, Cutler was 10-for-20 for 110 yards and an interception. Third down was a toxic waste dump.
But in the first 22 minutes that mattered in the second half, Cutler was 13-for-19 for 189 yards and two touchdowns. On third and fourth downs, he was 7-for-8 for more than 100 yards and a touchdown.
Here's the deal: A good team will make you pay for such early erratic play.
You can't always depend on a second-half rally, even if you're a streak shooter.
You won't always get two defensive touchdowns, even if that's the norm the last two games.
Start sooner, OK? Is that too much to ask?

Warriors get out kinks, then get hot in 2nd half
Janny Hu, Chronicle Staff Writer
Thursday, November 3, 2005
Troy Murphy, who was perfect from the field Wednesday, go... Jason Richardson has reason to shout after being fouled d... Golden State Warriors' Jason Richardson reaches through a... Warriors' Derek Fisher passes the ball through Atlanta Ha... More...
Maybe Mike Montgomery shouldn't have used the term "sucker-punched" to describe last season's 0-6 start. Eager to erase the memories of that winless beginning, the Warriors, in essence, got sent to the canvas in the first half of Wednesday's season opener.
Golden State had to rally from a 12-point deficit against last year's worst team before blowing out Atlanta 122-97 in front of 18,269 at the Arena in Oakland. Jason Richardson led the Warriors with 28 points and Troy Murphy added 19 on a perfect night from the field.
But the most important line might be the status of point guard Baron Davis, who reaggravated his left hamstring in the third quarter and did not return. Montgomery said Davis' status for Friday's game against Utah would be clearer by this morning.
The Warriors can ill afford to lose their star, who began Golden State's comeback by finding Richardson for an open 3-pointer to start the third quarter. Davis posted nine of his 15 points in the period as the Hawks -- who won only 13 games last year and four on the road -- stumbled against a renewed Warriors defense.
The Warriors forced six turnovers and held Atlanta to 27.6 percent shooting in the period. More impressively, they went on their 27-2 run mostly after Davis went down to help turn a 10-point deficit into a 15-point lead.
"Just because one of our stars goes down, doesn't mean we can fall down," Richardson said.
The Warriors did a faceplant to start the game, showing little energy and even less defense. Atlanta went inside on its first four possessions, earning three easy layups and missing on a fourth. Meanwhile, the Warriors turned the ball over six times in the first six minutes, with Mike Dunleavy serving up five on bad passes.
New Atlanta point guard Joe Johnson took advantage by slashing through the Warriors' flimsy defense for nine quick points, and the Hawks led by as many as eight points before the Warriors rallied.
Murphy scored six points in the quarter to go along with five rebounds. The Warriors closed out the period on a 7-0 run and came within milliseconds of taking the lead. After Tyronn Lue missed a layup with 2.9 seconds left, the Warriors pushed the ball up the court and Mickael Pietrus hit a long jumper as the buzzer sounded. Officials later reviewed the play and waived off the basket.
Pietrus made up for it immediately by opening the second period with a driving lay-up. But the real trouble started when Davis came out of the game 27 seconds later, as the Hawks went on a 10-0 run in the next three minutes.
"I felt like we could regain control of the game, but we were just making mistakes," said Derek Fisher, who had 12 points and five assists.
Such as?
"Not rebounding, not picking up the extra man, turning the ball over," Richardson said. "It was just first-game jitters."
The Warriors were outrebounded 47-38 and turned the ball over 19 times. They shot 58.1 percent from the field and 64.4 percent from the foul line.
Since they couldn't make a free throw all night, Golden State came back by scoring in threes. Davis and Richardson opened the third quarter by hitting back-to-back 3s, and the Warriors climbed to within 65-63 on another 3 by Fisher.
They finally took the lead on a 3-point play by Richardson with 6:58 remaining in the period. It was Golden State's first lead since Mickael Pietrus opened the second quarter with a layup, and matched its biggest advantage of the game up to that point.
Among the game's biggest surprises was rookie Chris Taft, who checked in with 7:25 left in the second quarter after Andris Biedrins ran into foul trouble. Taft came through with several hustle plays, including tapping a Richardson missed 3-pointer back to Richardson, who was then fouled and hit two free throws.
On the next possession, Taft sent a shot by Tyronn Lue into the stands. He finished with four points and four rebounds.
"Everybody was 'Defense, defense -- we get stops, the run will happen,' " Taft said. "We got a crazy run going and it didn't stop."

At BlackBerry World 2012, RIM has finally given us a sneak preview of their next generation BlackBerry 10 operating system. It won't be released until later in 2012, likely pitting it head-to-head against iOS 6 and iPhone 5,1, and a lot can change, but here's some of what we've seen so far:
- Highly gesture based. That'll be quick for power-users who become familiar with the system, but RIM will have to work hard to make it discoverable enough to get new users on board.
- Sliding layers of information. Something that looks like an extension of Twitter for iPad, you can slide the screen aside to see notifications behind, slide layers over to get more information, etc.
- Virtual keyboard. Looks very BlackBerry, works to "learn" how each individual types so it can personalize the experience. Presents words you can "flick up" to enter. (See CrackBerry's coverage of the BlackBerry 10 keyboard.)
- Time travel camera. When you take a picture, it records frames before and after and you can pick the perfect shot from that period of time. Be interesting to see what resolution they can get out of that.
- They also showed off what looked like the BlackBerry 10 versions of FaceTime and AirPlay, on both phones and the PlayBook, stressing their ecosystem play.
Right now there's only the BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha to actually get hands-on with, and again a lot can change between now and "later this year" when they release, especially in so competitive a market. A lot of their initial keynote sounded like something straight out of CrackBerry Kevin's smartphone hierarchy of needs. Whether they can focus, target, and most importantly, ship, remains to be seen.
Check out the video below and let us know what you think. Will BlackBerry 10 make RIM competitive again? Anything you see in BlackBerry 10 that you'd like to see in iOS 6?

Young affiliation win-win for Blue Jays, Bisons
TORONTO -- The Blue Jays' affiliation with Triple-A Buffalo is barely a year old, but it can already be considered an overwhelming success for both sides.
The Bisons' attendance is on the rise while the Blue Jays have been able to take advantage of the close proximity between the two cities to make roster moves relatively easy.
TORONTO -- The Blue Jays' affiliation with Triple-A Buffalo is barely a year old, but it can already be considered an overwhelming success for both sides.
The Bisons' attendance is on the rise while the Blue Jays have been able to take advantage of the close proximity between the two cities to make roster moves relatively easy.
In fact, the first year went so well that last August, both sides decided to extend their contract through the 2016 season. The partnership is only expected to grow in the years to come.
"The thing that struck me the most is that it's a partnership more than anything," Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos said late last week. "There is so much give and take that goes beyond whether we're winning games.
"The word 'family' gets thrown around a ton in sports and in life, but I think it's as close to that type of relationship as you can hope for. There's respect on both sides. You like who you work with, day in and day out."
The Bisons enjoyed somewhat of a resurgence in Buffalo last year. The club went from averaging 7,370 fans per game in 2012 to 8,273 fans the following season. The additional 903 fans per game was the largest year-to-year increase in the history of Coca-Cola Field, which dates back to 1988.
It's difficult to pinpoint exactly how much of the increase was from Blue Jays fans that reside in southern Ontario, but it wouldn't be a stretch to think that cross-border traffic played an integral role. According to a Bisons club representative, Buffalo's website traffic was approximately 30-33 percent Canadian.
Canadian business for ticket sales and merchandise also saw a rather drastic rise. Canadians accounted for approximately 8-10 percent of the Bisons' business in 2012, but that number rose to upwards of 25 percent in 2013. Those numbers are expected to increase even more this year as the organization plans to hold several special events to attract fans south of the border.
Perhaps the biggest impact on Buffalo's overall numbers will come with an improved product on the field. Though the club will have to wait until the end of March to figure out its roster, there's a strong chance a large group of high-ceiling pitchers will be making their way to Buffalo: Drew Hutchison, Kyle Drabek, Marcus Stroman, Sean Nolin and perhaps Aaron Sanchez.
"We think it's going to be a more talented group," Anthopoulos said. "The one exciting part, is that we had to sign basically an entire starting rotation of Minor League free agents [last year], because either trades or some of our better prospects were at [Class A] and weren't necessarily going to get up here until the end of the year, plus the guys we had coming back from Tommy John [surgery]. We expect it to be a young rotation, talented rotation, with a lot of upside."
Fans of Buffalo will always put an emphasis on winning, but from Toronto's perspective, it's the development of prospects that obviously remains the top priority. Anthopoulos takes pride in the success of his Minor League affiliates -- but not if it comes at the expense of his young players.
That's one reason why the Blue Jays decided to go with Gary Allenson as their new manager in Buffalo. Allenson replaced Marty Brown -- who recently resigned after not being offered a big league coaching job -- after spending last year with Double-A New Hampshire.
There's a series of prospects who will be making the jump from New Hampshire to Buffalo in 2014, and now Allenson will be along for the ride. He wants to win but clearly understands what his main role is within the Blue Jays' organization.
"It's different every game," Allenson said. "You have guys that are your prospects out there, that you know you're going to leave out there. If it comes down to whether you're going to develop a player or win at the Minor League level, if you have to choose between one or the other, you're going to develop the prospect. You're not worried about that. Hope that things turn out for the best.
"I saw my overall record -- I've won over 1,100 games but I've also lost over 1,200. It's all about what you've got. You do the best you can with what you've got."

Now that the EPA has given registration approval to Syngenta's new Agrisure corn trait event, MIR162, the company has given the trait a name: Agrisure Viptera. It will be included in stacks with the Agrisure CB/LL trait for the control of lepidopteran corn pests.
The MIR162 event uses a new proprietary technology from Syngenta that features a novel insecticidal protein called Vegetative Insecticidal Protein 3A (Vip3A). In Syngenta trials, the trait has been shown to provide enhanced control of a wide range of lepidopteran corn pests, including corn earworm, western bean cutworm, black cutworm and fall armyworm.
The EPA approval is one of the major regulatory hurdles the trait must clear. Pending remaining approvals from the USDA, EPA and FDA, as well as approval from key import markets, hybrids with the new trait could be available by spring 2010.
Viptera is Syngenta's third trait in the insect-control marketplace and will compete with Herculex and YieldGard products.

One of the most important attributes of our business is our ability to be nimble and flexible. Our solutions are designed to grow and change as our clients do.

We need our audience to be confident that we can build the software solution they need.
Have a look at our current website, http://www.digitaltree.com.au. The logo, and the website, are both quite attractive, but I think the image is too soft. We need to be bolder. Also, I'd like the logo to be less tall and wider, like most standard logos.
The logo should be reasonably serious and corporate, to match the clients we wish to land. I would like to continue a green theme, but a stronger green than is currently being used. Keep it simple and clean! The logo does not need to have a tree in it.
The website will also be revised once we have worked out the logo, so there is no need to match the logo to the website.

Even if I wanted to, with my dialect I could hardly criticise the way others mouth their Englishes. That said, when I heard someone talk about "mauling things over" I briefly yearned for the speech- certitudes of my early childhood. Then I remembered I was an eggcorn hunter and all was well again.
I must admit I've never really separated two of the senses of 'mull' and when sitting back and having a deliberate ruminate, a warming glass is never far from my hand. Anyway, rather than the gentle pondering of the original, there seems to be a more urgent and vigorous re-examination in the possibly eggcornish alternative…

Good eggcorn.
I prefer to mull things over while sipping a glass of mauled wine. (20 ughits). In the coming depression I may have to give up visits to the wine store and switch to malled wine (8 ughits). For the really perverse tastes there is always mold wine (earlier thread at http://eggcorns.lascribe.net/forum/view … hp?id=2313).
Hatching new language, one eggcorn at a time.

Give yourself the time to mole it over and consider all your options.

Moles are not the only beasts to grind away and work things over.
Both of us were taking some time to mule it over.

Delia was certain he would choose her as unworthy, especially if he didn't have the time to mule it over.

You take one little spark, some sort of inspiration, and ask yourself "what if?" You expand that little fragment and mule it over until it becomes a full-fledged story.

She told me that everything I was saying was true, but she hadn't come to terms with it yet and needed to mule it over.
There were 21 ughits for mule it over, 28 for "mole it over".

As I muddle it over, I worry. As I ponder, I get uptight.
http://notsorandomstuff.blogspot.ca/201 … s-and.html
I'll muddle it over in my mind for a couple more days and then decide.
http://jomurphey.blogspot.ca/2012/04/wh … o-its.html
I tend toward just inner reflection….Give it some thought, muddle it over, and then let it pass….
Sometimes it helps if you just confuse it over in your mind.
Ah—I read "muddle" like what you do to fruit before pouring rum over it in my favorite cocktails.
Mmm! Muddling things over your way can be a healthy, vitamin-rich strategy (including good ol' vitamin EtOH) when faced with stressful situations.
Muddling things also makes sense as a kind of blend with "muddle through somehow."

- Product Type:Knife
The Fly Father is a departure from traditional Protech knives, but it retains the classic blade shape of the Godfather/Godson knife and their incredible fit and finish. The blade on this knife is 154-CM steel with a black DLC finish. The front side of the blade has the Protech logo and the back side is marked "First Run #*** of 200".
The handle is comprised of titanium slabs with beveled edges and grooves along the sides. The titanium frame has zen pins and barrel spacer construction while the pivot features 56 ball bearings (14 per pivot side) and set-screw pivots that allow the user to adjust the tension on the blade for smooth and precise action. The latch is quite unique and a work of art itself! It is an arc shape, which allows the blade to extend closer to the handles bottom edge when closed. It's a nice touch that makes it possible to have a longer blade than is otherwise possible. The latch also features an integral latch stop which keeps the latch from hitting the blade, a very unique feature!
The FlyFather follows the tradition of other Protech Knives with its attention to detail and exceptional fit and finish. The FlyFather is very well thought out and a great addition to not only Protech's line, but the Balisong community.
This FlyFather has two-tone orange peel finished blue/satin handles and a pocket clip.

Who I am: real estate developer of a very popular lake front resort- summer vacation destination.
Look: http://www.bluedoorcottages.com
Business: 13 cottages that are all newly rehabbed in vibrant colors, and clean lines. Rented nightly during the summer to families, couples, large family reunions.
Project: give me a brand new logo that is reflective of your own style and design aesthetic.
Requirements: no specific restrictions- go crazy. I just want you to give me a logo that best represents your own instinctive preferred style and is interpreted in a way that you feel like reflects our business and brand.
Why?: I have many of design needs that include brochures, postcards, tee shirt and business card designs, various print and web needs and I need a "go-to designer" who's own aesthetic appeals to me. Ideally I would like to offer the winner the additional work in the next month. This is less about 1 logo creation to me...it is more about me viewing the work of a designer to choose the one that appeals to me for the remaining work. Be authentic. Submit whatever is best reflective of your own taste and style.

The building or site itself may lie within the boundary of more than one authority.
District: Isles of Scilly (Unitary Authority)
Parish: St. Agnes
National Grid Reference: SV 88398 07267
Reasons for Designation
The Isles of Scilly, the westernmost of the granite masses of south west
England, contain a remarkable abundance and variety of archaeological remains
from over 4000 years of human activity. The remote physical setting of the
islands, over 40km beyond the mainland in the approaches to the English
Channel, has lent a distinctive character to those remains, producing many
unusual features important for our broader understanding of the social
development of early communities.
Throughout the human occupation there has been a gradual submergence of the
islands' land area, providing a stimulus to change in the environment and its
exploitation. This process has produced evidence for responses to such change
against an independent time-scale, promoting integrated studies of
archaeological, environmental and linguistic aspects of the islands'
The islands' archaeological remains demonstrate clearly the gradually
expanding size and range of contacts of their communities. By the post-
medieval period (from AD 1540), the islands occupied a nationally strategic
location, resulting in an important concentration of defensive works
reflecting the development of fortification methods and technology from the
mid 16th to the 20th centuries. An important and unusual range of post-
medieval monuments also reflects the islands' position as a formidable hazard
for the nation's shipping in the western approaches.
The exceptional preservation of the archaeological remains on the islands has
long been recognised, producing an unusually full and detailed body of
documentation, including several recent surveys.
Platform cairns are funerary monuments of Early Bronze Age date (c.2000-1600
BC). They were constructed as low flat-topped mounds of stone rubble, up to
40m in external diameter though usually considerably smaller, covering single
or multiple burials. Some examples have other features, including peripheral
banks and internal mounds constructed on the platform. A kerb of slabs or
edge-set stones sometimes bounds the edge of the platform, and a peripheral
bank or mound if present. Platform cairns can occur as isolated monuments, in
small groups or in cairn cemeteries. In cemeteries they are normally found
alongside cairns of other types.
Platform cairns form a significant proportion of the 387 surviving cairns on
the Isles of Scilly; this is unusual in comparison with the mainland. All
surviving examples on the Isles of Scilly are considered worthy of protection.
This platform cairn near Beady Pool has survived well, with no evident or recorded disturbance. The presence of this cairn in a dispersed group containing various other classes of cairn shows the diversity of funerary activity during the Bronze Age. The relationships between this cairn group, the nearby prehistoric field systems and the topography on St Agnes demonstrate well the nature of land use among prehistoric communities and the organisation of funerary and farming activities.
The monument includes a prehistoric kerbed platform cairn situated on the
eastern side of the southern headland of St Agnes in the Isles of Scilly.
The platform cairn survives with a circular mound of heaped rubble measuring
6m in diameter, rising up to 0.4m to a flattened platform, 4m in diameter. The
edges of the mound's flattened platform are defined by a kerb of at least four
slabs, up to 0.25m high though generally rising to only 0.1m from the turf.
The kerb slabs are visible on the north, north west, south west and NNE edges
of the platform.
This cairn is part of a group containing at least 44 cairns of various types
dispersed about the heathland and abundant granite outcrops of Wingletang
Down, the broad southern peninsula of St Agnes. Prehistoric field systems
border the northern edges of the Down, partly incorporating several cairns
towards the north east edge of this cairn group. Another large and diverse
cairn group occupies the southern part of Gugh, 450m north east of
Wingletang Down.
