Nice write up. The Mohican 100 Mile race was also last weekend, but results still aren't available yet. I do know that Zach Irelan? won the 100, Dan Rose was 2nd, Richard Lilly was 6th and I was 9th. Was a pretty hard and slow day for most it seemed.ReplyDelete
Thanks Brad. Good job at Mohican. The results weren't up before my deadline (obviously since you said they're still not up) so I couldn't really cover the race. I heard they had some serious course marking issues last year - were they o.k. this year?ReplyDelete
Good luck w/ the Leadville training!
Course was very well marked and easy to follow this year, even at night. It was just a harder course than I thought it was going to be. Not very much flat at all. Either up or down with some serious hills. We'll be up in WV over the 4th weekend in/near Fayetteville. I think they've even got a 5 mile trail race we're going to do.ReplyDelete

Made In Maine: Lewiston company finds niche making high-end shoes
Rancourt & Co. blending old techniques with new technology
In a city once defined by its many shoe makers, Rancourt and Company has carved a new niche in Lewiston.
The company is connecting techniques of the past with today's technology.
"We want to take this really old tradition of hand sewn shoe making, crafting shoes by hand, and combine it with modern technology, e-commerce to reach a world-wide consumer," said Kyle Rancourt.
Rancourt's shoes are shipped to dozens of countries around the world as well as all across the United States.
"The striking difference is the fact the Internet has opened our marketplace to the world," said Mike Rancourt.
Mike Rancourt has worked in the shoe trade in Lewiston since the 1960s, when his father opened a factory.
Today, Mike and his son Kyle run the business, founding Rancourt and Company in 2008.
They said they never considered opening anywhere but Lewiston.
"The biggest advantage we have making the shoes here in Lewiston is that there are still skilled craftspeople in the community that we can hire," said Kyle Rancourt.
"We need the skilled labor, and we need the workforce that understands our quality level," said Mike Rancourt.
It is a level of quality that allows Rancourt to sell shoes on the high-end, with prices ranging from $250 up to $500.
"It's a craft. It's not just a job. It's a craft. Their heart is in it. They really do want to make good shoes. It comes with an enormous amount of gratification," said pattern engineer Tina Charest.
Last month, Rancourt introduced a new method for customizing shoes.
Customers can go on the company's website and can choose everything from laces to leather and design their own shoe.
"What's interesting in developing that business, we have more and more customers who want their own product, their own style, their own pair of shoes, and they want the details to be unique to them," said Mike Rancourt.
This year alone, Rancourt's 62 employees will hand make 45,000 pairs of shoes
While a majority of Rancourt's shoes are sold over the Internet, there are a handful of stores that sell them in Maine, including David Wood and Portland Dry Goods.
You can also visit their factory in Lewiston.

|Using LiveScribe to Record Auntie's Memories
This time I recorded some of her memories using my LiveScribe Pen and then I used my Flip-Pal Mobile Scanner to scan the start of her life story she'd written out on loose pages.
You can see the pages she'd written sitting on the coffee table waiting to be scanned. The stitching software with Flip-Pal allowed me to easily scan the pages in sections then stitch them together seamlessly when I got home.
All I did was transfer the scanned sections to my computer and let the stitching software do the work putting them together in one seamless page after the other.

Immanuel Kant's moral philosophy is one of the most distinctive achievements of the European Enlightenment. At its heart lies what Kant called the 'strange thing': the free, rational, human will. This introduction explores the basis of Kant's anti-naturalist, secular, humanist vision of the human good. Moving from a sketch of the Kantian will, with all its component parts and attributes, to Kant's canonical arguments for his categorical imperative, this introduction shows why Kant thought his moral law the best summary expression of both his own philosophical work on morality and his readers' deepest shared convictions about the good. Kant's central tenets, key arguments, and core values are presented in an accessible and engaging way, making this book ideal for anyone eager to explore the fundamentals of Kant's moral philosophy.Read more
- Presents an interpretation that reflects consensus of current scholars of Kant
- Applies Kant's moral theories to accounts of experience
- Highlights the secular foundations of Kant's moral theory, making his Enlightenment theory fresh and interesting to students
Reviews & endorsements
"Uleman consistently states her aims in each chapter clearly, organizes discussions well, and poses questions to make her train of thought easy to follow. Her grasp of the details of Kant's moral philosophy as well as of how those details hang together to form a whole is rare and impressive. This work should prove to be very helpful to many students."
--Lara Denis, Agnes Scott CollegeSee more reviews
"This engaging book is a wonderful introduction to Kant's moral philosophy. It explains many of Kant's central concepts, such as those of will, freedom, maxims, and imperatives, clearly and succinctly. But the book also makes an argument that must be taken seriously by every scholar as well as student of Kant: that Kant's formulations of the categorical imperative collectively analyze what it is to make the realization of freedom the ultimate goal of human action. The book also beautifully shows how Kant unfolds the value of realizing our freedom without reducing his argument to the kind of empirical, psychological morality that Kant rejects. This is a wise, insightful work."
--Paul Guyer, University of Pennsylvania
"...a clear, succinct introduction to Kantian ethics... Overall, this meticulous defense of Kantian ethics from the ground up most likely will become required reading for future Kant scholars... Essential..."
--L. A. Wilkinson, University at Tennessee at Chattanooga, CHOICE
"....dutiful.... Jennifer K. Uleman's book presents the state of the art, and it provides all the information that the reader needs if she wishes to acquire a good overview of Kant's moral philosophy.... Its prose is clear and elegant, its structure is well-organized.... Uleman's book is an excellent interpretation that has freed Kant from the cage of abstract normativity and has reintroduced him into the midst of human life."
--Gunnar Hindrichs, Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
"....one should not, by any means, underestimate Uleman's achievement here, which is admirable. The book is carefully argued, and forms an excellent introduction to Kant's moral theory. It will benefit students and tutors alike to a great extend.... highly recommend...."
--Dr. Kostas Koukouzelis, University of Crete, Greece, Metapsychology

The meeting was called to order at 4:05 PM by President Higueras. The following members were noted present: Commissioners Bautista, Chin, Coulter and Streets. Commissioners Steiman and Swig were excused attendance. President Higueras announced that Agenda Item #3 Library Budget would be taken up second and then the City Librarian's Report would be heard. Agenda Items: 1. APPROVAL OF THE JANUARY 2, 2002 MINUTES 2. CITY LIBRARIAN"S REPORT 3. LIBRARY 2002/2003 BUDGET 4. FRIENDS & FOUNDATION REPORT 5. LABOR UNION REPORT 6. NEW BUSINESS 7. PUBLIC COMMENT 8. ADJOURNMENT 9. Appendix A AGENDA ITEM #1 APPROVAL OF THE JANUARY 2, 2002 MINUTES Public comment: An anonymous member of the public provided copies of and commented that the Fuhrman Fund discussion that occurred at the January 17th meeting was not reported in the Minutes. The anonymous member of the public also commented on the Commissioners' duties as Trustees of the Fuhrman Fund. Mr. Ed Regan requested that his comment concerning library furniture be amplified to include comfortable chairs. Mr. Peter Warfield found the Minutes deficient and cited a variety of things he believed had been left out. Mr. Warfield noted in particular discussions concerning the affinity centers, creation of space for books, and the Systemwide Support Services Center. Commission comment: Motion: by Commissioner Coulter, seconded by Commissioner Chin for approval of the Minutes of January 2, 2002. Action: AYE 5-0 (Bautista, Chin, Coulter, Higueras, and Streets) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AGENDA ITEM #3 LIBRARY 2002/2003 BUDGET Mr. George Nichols, Library Finance Director provided an extensive overview of three proposed options that the Commission could consider to address the Mayor's Budget Office's mandate of a 10% reduction in the Library 2002/03 Budget (copy attached). Mr. Nichols then discussed details of and implications of the impact on staffing and public services of each of the possible reduction plans. Public comment: An anonymous member of the public commented on the lack of overall budget context for the proposed reductions. The anonymous member of the public suggested that the Library's Public Relations Department budget be reduced in favor of public services. Ms. Sue Cauthen urged elimination of book budget reductions. Mr. Ed Regan requested that the proposed book budget reductions be reported in fiction and non-fiction and encyclopedias. Ms. Amanda Thomas, Manager of the Tool Lending Center pointed out that it had become a valuable community resource. Ms. Thomas pointed out that the Tool Lending Center was a model for other communities and that it was playing an important role as a partner with the American Red Cross in community emergency and earthquake preparations. Mr. Peter Warfield commented that information on the budget had not been accurately presented and was not in context because information on the entire budget was lacking. Mr. Warfield noted that an accelerated purchase of computers was not discussed nor were other options offered instead of reductions in the book budget. Mr. Warfield commented that elimination of 2nd notices was proposed even though the Board of Supervisors had wanted the Library to send out 2nd notices on overdue materials. Commission comment: In response to questions by Commissioner Streets, Mr. Nichols and the City Librarian discussed the Library's gradual reduction in financial support for the Tool Lending Center, described funding for maintenance in branch libraries planned for renovation in the Branch Bond Program, and identified the PTAN (part time as needed) and other unfilled positions that were proposed for cuts. Ms. Kathy Lawhun, Chief of the Main Library explained that public services could be maintained with the reductions proposed. Commissioner Streets commented that she was not optimistic about economic recovery and was concerned that the Library maintain reserve funds to prevent a re-occurrence of financial problems experienced in the previous recession. The City Librarian and Mr. Nichols noted that preserving current full time positions was a high priority and that the reality that personnel costs were 80% of the Library Budget and the Book Budget 10% directed where reductions had to occur. Mr. Nichols also noted that the Library's previous fiscal difficulties had been rooted in financial mis-management that no longer existed. The Commissioners discussed several ways that the reductions might be made without further reducing the book budget. Commissioner Bautista expressed the hope that the local economy would revive thus eliminating the need for the cuts. Commissioner Coulter suggested that some of the proposed reduction in the Book Budget be restored and replaced with cuts in positions. The City Librarian and Mr. Nichols proposed that the Commission consider adopting the proposed 75% use of reserve roposal with changes in the planned position reductions while limiting reductions in the book Budget to 5%. Motion: by Commissioner Bautista, 2nd by Commissioner Streets for approval of the 2002/03 Library budget reduction proposal calling for using 75% of the reserve funds and with a limitation of the reduction in the book budget to 5%. Action: AYE 5-0 (Bautista, Chin, Coulter, Higueras, and Streets) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AGENDA ITEM #2 CITY LIBRARIAN"S REPORT City Librarian Susan Hildreth reported to the Commission on the ALA (American Library Association) Mid-Winter gathering. Ms. Hildreth noted that SFPL Librarian Cathy Bremer had been named to a Task Force on Pay Equity for Librarians by ALA President Mitch Friedman. The City Librarian then provided a report on the Pinnacle copiers' contract. Ms. Hildreth then reported on upcoming exhibits and provided an update on the Main Library signage-consulting contract. The City Librarian then reported that current circulation statistics showed an increase of 20% over the previous year. Ms. Hildreth reported to the Commissioners on the on-going work to develop a Library Strategic Plan as requested by Commissioner Swig. The City Librarian provided a memo (copy attached) outlining a proposed process leading to adoption of a new Strategic Plan in the Fall. Lastly, the City Librarian announced branch library related public meetings planned for February 12th in Glen Park and February 23rd in the Richmond (report attached.) President Higueras called for a brief recess at 5:57M Commission Streets left the meeting during the recess. The Commission returned to session at 6:07PM Public comment: An anonymous member of the public commented favorably about being informed of when the meeting would reconvene and was gratified to learn of the exhibit on the design charrette held in October. This person expressed a hope that equal time would be devoted to the Commission's public planning process for the branch libraries. The anonymous member of the public commented that the cost of copying was too high in the library, that the Commission should take a close look at the Pinnacle Contract. This person also commented that circulation statistics had traditionally increased in hard times emphasizing the importance of providing basic public service. Mr. Ed Regan asked that the price of copies be reduced to 15 cents each and if needed the library should subsidize their cost. Mr. Regan commented that circulation statistics should not be taken too seriously and that he planned to attend the announced public meetings and offer comments. Mr. Peter Warfield observed that library copying costs were high and a source of negative patron comments about the library. Mr. Warfield commented that he found the memo on the Strategic Plan inaccurate. Mr. Warfield noted that he had requested forms related to strategic planning and not received any, that there was very little public discussion of the plan, that the Commission had rejected the previous version of the strategic plan, and that there was little opportunity for public input in the proposed process. Commission comment: In response to questions by President Higueras, the City Librarian reported that maintaining the current 15-cent per copy charge was a key negotiating factor in choosing the vendor for the copying contract. The City Librarian reported that free copies were no longer possible and in response to a question by Commission Bautista noted that the charges were the same at the Main Library and in the branches. President Higueras asked if there was any evidence that cheaper copies did anything to reduce material damage or theft. The City Librarian commented that getting a vendor who would meet the Library's needs had been challenging. Ms. Hildreth observed that the Library already subsidized copies to some extent and that the new vendor would do cash handling as well as equipment maintenance. President Higueras commented that he was pleased that the strategic planning effort was underway and looked forward to it unfolding in a workman like fashion and without delay. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AGENDA ITEM #4 FRIENDS & FOUNDATION REPORT Ms. Cynthia Adam, Interim Executive Director of the Friends and Foundation announced the selection of Martin Gomez, currently Director of the Brooklyn Public Library, to assume the position of Executive Director of the Friends and Foundation on March 1, 2002. Ms. Adam then informed the Commissioners concerning Mr. Gomez's long and distinguished career as a librarian. Public comment: Not offered. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AGENDA ITEM #5 LABOR UNION REPORT Not offered. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AGENDA ITEM #6 NEW BUSINESS Commissioner Bautista raised questions about what could be done to resolve graffiti problems defacing a mural located on the exterior of the Ortega Branch Library. In response to President Higueras' comments on how to address problems with art works painted on branch libraries, the Deputy City Librarian discussed some of the general issues involved and noted similar problems with a mural at the Bernal Heights Branch Library. In response to questions by Commissioner Bautista concerning graffiti in Main Library elevators, Ms. Hildreth reported that a remedy should be in place by the end of the year. Commissioner Bautista also suggested more frequent cleaning of the Main Library 1st floor rest rooms. President Higueras requested an update on the proposed Customer Service Guideline suggested by former City Librarian Regina Minudri. Deputy City Librarian Paul Underwood proposed to bring a customer service guidelines developed with staff input to the Commission for its review and consideration at an upcoming meeting. Public Comment: An anonymous member of the public called attention to a missing page from some copies of the agenda, noted that this item was to introduce items not discuss them, and commented that it was very important to discuss the issue of graffiti. This individual observed that damage to murals was unusual and that this discussion raised items that should be considered in greater depth. Mr. Ed Regan commented that he did not believe that graffiti was a big problem and that it should be able to be removed easily. Mr. Peter Warfield commented that all of the issues raised should be put on future agendas, suggested that a list of proposed agenda items be made. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Agenda item #7 PUBLIC COMMENT An anonymous member of the public spoke about the book The Ugly American and observed that the definition of "good people" was always arbitrary, that this person had always viewed themselves as a good person, and that they had been shocked when they discovered that they had not received the respect they expected from those running the library. Mr. Ed Regan suggested that Library public service hours be expanded from 6AM until Midnight 7 days per week, that the Main Library install a fire escape and manually operated elevators that could provide needed employment. Mr. Peter Warfield noted three comments, first that some copies of the agenda and explanatory documents available to the public were missing pages. Mr. Warfield next thanked the Commissioners for their discussion and votes on the budget, calling attention to Commissioner Coulter's question about slowing computer system purchases. Mr. Warfield then asked about public input concerning the ILS (Integrated Library System) contract, if this process was in compliance with the Sunshine Ordinance, and called for a discussion of the contract to be placed on a meeting agenda. President Higueras called Mr. Regan's attention to the life safety design features that were mandated when the Main Library was built. President Higueras further informed Mr. Regan that the State Elevator Code precluded manually operated elevators. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Agenda Item #8 ADJOURNMENT Commissioner Coulter reported that Ms. Stong had passed away on January 18, 2002 and lauded her decades of dedicated and skillful civic leadership on behalf of the public library. Commissioner Coulter called attention to Ms. Stong's years of heroic behind the scenes work for California's libraries beginning during her childhood in Porterville, California. Commissioner Coulter noted that after her graduation from Stanford University she began more than 45 years of hard work defending libraries. Commissioner Coulter cited many stories of Ms. Stong's work that saved book budgets, guaranteed secure funding for the San Francisco Public Library, and raised the condition of public libraries throughout California. Commissioner Chin noted that Ms. Stong provided an excellent example of selfless leadership. Public Comment: An anonymous member of the public commented that Ms. Stong had been a stalwart for the library, noting that Ms. Stong had served as a Library Commissioner, that she had regularly attended Library Commission meetings for years before she became a Commissioner, and that she had been a great lover of books. Commission Comment: Motion: by Commissioner Coulter, seconded by Commissioner Chin that the meeting be adjourned In Memoriam of Mary Louise Stong, an esteemed civic and community leader on behalf of the San Francisco Public Library. Action: AYE 4-0 (Bautista, Chin, Coulter, and Higueras) The meeting was adjourned at 6:54PM.

Not a rig for gamers?
I know a few enthusiasts that have spent over £4000 on their rigs because they have to be at the bleeding edge and wring every last fps they can out of their games. I'm sure if Alienware came out with a rig with Tesla cards programmed for game physics, graphics and sound assistance it would sell to the same types, or just Crysis owners..... oh, and Vista users (I know, old joke!).

It seems like an appropriate time, with six months of 2011 new vehicle registrations available, to look at model-level performance and determine which ones are doing well. "Doing well" would involve more than mere year-over-year improvement; it also includes helping the make move forward. Here are my lists of the five most successful models so far in 2011 for each of the non-premium and premium spaces.Note: These results would most likely be different if the Japanese earthquake/tsunamis of March 11 had not occurred. The resulting inventory shortages for Toyota and Honda have greatly impacted the June 2011 CYTD retail results for these brands. The data shown after each model name are June 2011 CYTD year-over-year improvements in new retail registrations.
- Hyundai Sonata (+32%) - The Sonata's improvement is less than that of several other models on this list, but the Sonata's success reaches further than the model itself. The new Sonata is the first Hyundai with the flowing, ground-breaking styling that has resonated so much with the retail consumer, and it has paved the way for the subsequent launches of the similarly-styled Elantra and Tucson. More individuals have purchased or leased a Hyundai Sonata in the first six months of 2011 than any other midsize car except the Camry and Accord.
- Volkswagen Jetta (+69%) - The redesigned Jetta has proven the effectiveness of Volkswagen's new, more aggressive posture in the U.S. Priced thousands below its predecessor and somewhat de-contented, the new Jetta has been criticized by the media, but not by the retail buyer. Jetta accounts for almost 60% of all Volkswagen retail deliveries for June 2011 CYTD, up from 44% a year ago, and it has propelled Volkswagen's retail share of the U.S. industry up a tenth of a point to 2.6%.
- Ford Fiesta (not on sale in 2010) - Ford dealers have delivered 36,441 Fiestas to individuals in six months, more than the total for any other sub-compact including the Fit and the Versa. The Fiesta's success suggests the domestics can seriously compete in the sub-compact space, which according to most light vehicle forecasts will be an increasingly important category going forward.
- Chevrolet Cruze/Cobalt (+178%) - The year-over-year improvement of the combination Cruze/Cobalt is among the highest in the industry, and Cruze has more six-month retail registrations than any other compact non-premium car except the Civic. The data suggest Chevrolet is now, for the first time in a while, a serious competitor in this major segment.
- Jeep Grand Cherokee (+170%) - The redesigned Grand Cherokee is one of the first products launched under the auspices of the new Chrysler/Fiat team, and the flagship SUV's success injects the team with a dose of confidence as it moves forward. The Grand Cherokee's success, along with that of its smaller siblings Patriot and Compass, has carried the brand to a 59% year-over-year jump and a share gain of eight tenths of a point to 3.0%.
Other exceptionally successful non-premium models in the first half of 2011 include the Optima, Regal, 200/Sebring, Durango, Elantra and Equinox. Premium
- Cadillac CTS (+54%) - The CTS has benefited from the launch of the coupe body type (28% of total CTS retail registrations for June CYTD vs. 0% a year ago). Six-month CTS retail registrations of 24,949 exceed those of any other small premium model except the 3-Series. The CTS' surge is the primary driver of Cadillac's 26% year-over-year growth.
- BMW 5-Series (+56%) - The redesigned 5-Series' 2011 retail registrations are 84% of the segment-leading E-Class tally, up from 54% year ago, and the new 5-Series' success has helped the BMW make register a 16% year-over-year gain.
- Jaguar XJ (+273%) - The 2011 XJ is the first complete redesign of the Jaguar flagship XJ since 2004, and its styling both inside and out is a substantial departure from its predecessor. The new XJ now outsells the lower-priced XF, and the XJ has helped stabilize Jaguar deliveries as the make awaits new products now in the pipeline.
- Porsche Cayenne (+178%) - The Cayenne for 2011 has been redesigned for the first time since the model was launched in the U.S. in 2003. Its exterior and interior have been re-styled and it now comes as a hybrid as well. Cayenne's growth has helped the Porsche brand increase its retail registrations 40% versus a year ago.
- BMW X3 (+276%) - The X3's success this year has made it the most popular small premium crossover and follows a lengthy changeover during which virtually none were available. With looming CAFÉ requirements, this segment will get more and more attention from both OEMs and retail customers going forward according to light vehicle forecasts.
Another premium model that has performed well so far in 2011 is the Volvo S60.

According to Peter Vescey of the New York Post, Donnie Walsh's deal should be completed sometime this week:
"Because the give and take was not completed until last week, I'm informed. Late changes were made by Walsh and approved by Dolan. Once Camp Cablevision's required "six signatures" (I don't think my source was being facetious) are on the dotted line, apparently sometime this week, the deal will be done, if not publicized.
Clearly, the new arrangement will give Walsh the control to finish the Knicks' renovation the way he sees fit. If there was any uncertainty about that it would have demonstrated Dolan did not want him back. That would have shoved Walsh into retirement"
It's about damn time. Walsh has done a masterful job of cleaning up Isiah Thomas' mess and transforming it to a team on the rise with a 2 headed tandem of superstars that has the fan base excited for the first time in years. The next order of business is whether coach Mike D'Antoni will return next season. Next year will be the final year of D'Antoni's 4 year 24 million dollar deal. Walsh loves D'Antoni so it's assumed that he will return but you never know with Jim Dolan as the owner. While Walsh should have and is supposed to have full control, that may not always be the case. As shown the Carmelo Anthony trade, Dolan will not hesitate to overrule Walsh and jump into any basketball discussions. This does and should worry Knick fans because there's no doubt, Dolan's a moron. This is proven by his continual honeymoon with Isiah Thomas despite the fact that he hasn't coached since the 2007 season.
Overall I believe Walsh's return will ensure the return of D'Antoni barring any interference by ding dong dolan. Walsh is a master personnel man and Knick fans should be very encouraged that he will be back for the next couple seasons (details of the contract have not yet been released).

Raspberry Pi
Is there a build ready to go on a Raspberry Pi?
By Chris Hills at Wed, 2013/03/20 - 3:54pm
Not a package yet
We don't have a package yet, but following the build steps you can build it very easily on Raspbian. The only caveat is that video playback won't be that smooth (yet), but music and photos should work just fine.
By Shantanu Tushar at Thu, 2013/03/21 - 5:20pm
Congrats and thank you! I can't wait to get back home and test this baby out!!
By Pascal G at Wed, 2013/03/20 - 5:43pm
Even better
If you can try it out, it will be awesome, and even better if we can have someone package this for distros :)

Dual head
Nice! Is it possible to run this in the second screen (TV) while having regular KDE desktop on the the first screen (monitor)?
By Naranek at Wed, 2013/03/20 - 9:14pm
Just move it
Just launch Plasma Media Center and use Alt+drag to move it to the other screen, thats what I do at home.
By Shantanu Tushar at Thu, 2013/03/21 - 5:21pm
MythTV support, live TV
I'd love to see support for MythTV or VDR!
By M at Wed, 2013/03/20 - 11:04pm
I have a question!
Nice work guys. Is the guy from Bangarang working on this with you? His project is awesome, is built using all of KDE's pillars and it overlaps a lot with the work you're doing, just wondering if he's involved at all?
By Bob at Wed, 2013/03/20 - 11:11pm
Sadly no, at least as of now. We'd love to work together, actually I see that there are lots of KDE multimedia apps have a lot of overlap as you said. We should do some kind of multimedia framework/pillar for KDE so that we can do this properly. I plan to have a BoF at Akademy about this.
By Shantanu Tushar at Thu, 2013/03/21 - 5:30pm
This is really awesome!
This is really awesome!

Full TitleA Phase II Study of Afatinib and Paclitaxel in Patients with Advanced HER2-positive Trastuzumab-Refractory Advanced Esophagogastric Cancer
Cancers of at the junction of the esophagus and stomach (esophagogastric cancers) that produce high levels of a protein called HER2 may be treated with trastuzumab, a drug that targets this protein. However, in some patients, the cancer continues growing despite trastuzumab therapy.
The goal of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a drug called afatanib (also called BIBW 2992), which also targets HER2, in patients with metastatic esophagogastric cancer that has continued to grow despite trastuzumab treatment. Afatinib is a pill that is taken orally (by mouth). It is approved for treating some lung cancers; its use in this study is considered investigational.
To be eligible for this study, patients must meet several criteria, including but not limited to the following:
- Patients must have HER2-positive metastatic esophagogastric cancer that has continued to grow despite trastuzumab treatment.
- At least 2 weeks must have passed since completion of prior therapy (trastuzumab or lapatinib) and entry into the study.
- Patients must be age 18 or older.
For more information about this study and to inquire about eligibility, please contact Dr. Yelena Janjigian at 646-888-4186.

Scary Messages and Content Creep: It's All in a Daily Digest
Andrew Dillon is dean of the School of Information at the University of Texas at Austin. He can be reached by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Despite the usual avalanche of smut and spam in my mail, it's been a quiet couple of months in IA-land, judging by the postings on the major IA lists. Clearly lots of people have been out of the office, as shown by their auto-reply messages that keep ending up in my digests. In one sense this calm is real progress there has not been a flame-war of any note this summer on SIGIA-L. Perhaps a moderator is being kept busier than we think. Consequently I am more willing to read these daily digests rather than deleting reflexively at the sight of a certain person's name, and the results have me wondering more about convergence or, to put it less politely, content-creep.
I play a little game with myself every now and again when I read quickly through the postings on various IA, usability and web-design lists. The essential point is to see if I can determine which list I am on just by reading the content of the message. One has to play a little loose with the rules since you can always cheat and look at the header. But the goal here is not to score points; rather it is to identify the overlapping of discussions, the importing of answers, the posting of the same questions or even (ideally) the different treatment of the same issues across lists.
In my mind there are a limited number of characteristics by which we may describe list behavior and quality. We've all experienced the energy-waste of a group self-imploding over the rabid postings of one or two people (you know the type, the kind of poster who conflates freedom of speech with freedom to distort). Equally, many academics will be familiar with the other extreme highly controlled, managed lists where anything remotely off topic (or even misspelled) will be bounced lest it cause offense. But these characteristics are impressionistic and somewhat obvious. I am more interested in the trajectory of lists, their natural lifecycle and their value to members. I sense there is an index of disciplinary health or development that can be derived here. If so, IA is at an interesting juncture.
I have not conducted a formal analysis of these characteristics, but I confess that what I had gathered as an informal impression is not immediately well supported by the data I have gathered. From scanning and reading the five lists to which I routinely subscribe, I had begun to get the impression that overlap was growing, that not only the same issues but even the same people were popping up. As it turns out, this duplication seems to be less the case than I imagined, giving me further pause for thought on the general lack of positive correlation between reality and what we think is out there. Yes, job announcements or calls for papers tend to be widely circulated, but it is rare that a discussion bleeds over the digital fence from one list to the other without considerable effort being made by one or more members of the respective lists. So while the closed IA group (sorry!) was busy discussing the topic of sub-domains one week, the more public SIGIA-L was engrossed in a lively exchange on open-source usability. This divergence is probably explained by the rather frosty relationship between these two lists (the closed list was viewed with suspicion by the open list once news of its existence emerged, not helped by the fact that most members of the closed list were once or still are members of the open group driven to distraction by the noise to signal ratio). But closed lists are more widespread than one might think I am a member of one usability discussion group that threatens to excommunicate any members who reveal its existence you didn't read about it here!
But content-creep can take other forms. The last few weeks of postings on SIGIA-L, while still being unique postings to that list, have covered a range of topics that one might expect to read on a usability list, such as seven postings one day in response to a usability test question, a discussion of pull-down menu design that extended over a week, a call for advice and subsequent discussion of how to make a design process more user-centered all fodder for IAs and others. Interestingly, while that design process question was being raised in SIGIA-L, the nameless usability list was engaged in a similar discussion on how to incorporate user-centered design methods into software engineering models. How I wished these two sets of discussants could get together!
As a "big-IA" advocate I have always believed usability was part of IA anyhow. "Little IA" is just too small to justify the use of the A-word in my world. So the broad discussion of these topics on an IA list is further confirmation of this view as far as I am concerned. I do wonder though if lists are creating parallel universes where the same ideas are discussed among communities who remain oblivious to each other's existence. Clearly some of us are looking at multiple lists, but the politics of participation enforce division when some lists will not even announce their existence. Certainly this exclusiveness can be necessary, and I am often grateful for the nonsense it removes from discussions, but is anyone in IA even considering how such structures shape discourse? It's difficult for me to imagine an architect not being concerned with the effects of the social spaces she creates. Frank Lloyd Wright once mused that better architecture might inspire better government, and I cannot help but feel our information architectures may have equivalent potency, if only we knew how to build them appropriately.

Story by Kevin Mackinnon
Earlier this week Chris McCormack was asked how much longer he'd continue to compete as a professional.
"Until the younger guys retire me," he said.
Today one of his countrymen might have just taken care of that for him. as he kept the IRONMAN World Championship title in Australian hands for the sixth straight year.
"It hasn't quite sunk in," said Pete Jacobs of winning the IRONMAN World Championship and keeping the title in Australian hands for the sixth straight year. "The guys who have won before me I look up to as idols and almost inhuman. Crowie (Craig Alexaander, who has won three titles to go along with McCormack's two over the last six years) performs here every year – this is the first year he had a bad one. I was confident that if I had a good day, I could win. I ended up having a great day."
A great day it was. Jacobs continued the tradition that Alexander set last year, staying in the front few athletes from virtually start to finish on a day that featured some of the toughest conditions seen for the IRONMAN World Championship for years.
After Andy Potts led the way out of the water, the early stages of the bike ride looked more like a short course race than an IRONMAN. Defending men's champion Alexander seemed determined to push the pace, turning the tables on his rival McCormack, who suddenly found himself isolated and chasing the lead group. McCormack would eventually pull out, while Alexander found himself struggling to stay with the lead group and barely finishing in the top-20 at the end of the bike. (The classy three-time champ eventually ran his way to 12th)
By the time the race reached the climb to Hawi, the winds started to really pick up and the men we considered most likely to push the pace on the bike were at the front – Marino Vanhoenacker and Sebastian Kienle led the way, steadily gaining ground on the rest of the field – just as they did earlier this year in Germany at the Frankfurter Sparkasse IRONMAN European Championship.
On the way down the hill from Hawi, though, things went awry for Kienle, who got a flat tire. While he had a spare, he couldn't get the valve extender off the tube, so he had to wait for tech support to help change the tire. Once they did he was back on the road, but had lost almost five minutes.
That left Vanhoenacker on his own to finish the ride along the Queen K, which he did in impressive style. Vanhoenacker finished the ride 8:28 ahead of Jacobs, who put together an incredible ride to lead the rest of the men in the chase of Vanhoenacker. Not typically known as a great cyclist, Jacobs was doing his best Alexander imitation, finishing the bike ahead of men considered amongst the best in the sport on two wheels: Frederik Van Lierde, Dirk Bockel, Faris Al-Sultan, Romain Guillaume and Kienle. (Last year Alexander improved his bike split by a whopping 13 minutes to take the title here in Kona.
Out on the run Vanhoenacker looked like he might just hold his lead to a first title here in Kona. After losing about 15 seconds a mile for almost the first 10 miles, things started to come undone for the Belgian. By 16 miles, Vanhoenacker had been passed by the fast-moving Jacobs. A few miles later Vanhoenacker would pull off the course at an aid station and eventually live up to his pre-race prediction: he would either win the race or be hauled off in an ambulance. It wasn't quite that dire, but he did end up taking a medical vehicle back to Kailua-Kona.
Which left Jacobs in the position of just needing to hang on for his first world championship title. As he ran his way back up from the Energy Lab towards the Queen K for the epic last seven miles of running, a classy Alexander ran across the road, gave him a high five, and told him to "relax, relax, relax."
Behind Jacobs, Andreas Raelert was putting together the fastest run of the day, getting over a disappointing start to once again put himself in contention for the win. While he couldn't catch Jacobs, he did manage to run himself into second, only to suddenly find himself in a head-to-head battle with Van Lierde over the last mile.
Suddenly finding himself behind the Belgian with a mile to go, Raelert remembered the day two years ago when he lost this world title to McCormack. Once again he was passed on the fateful downhill about a mile away from the finish, but this time he responded. After falling 10 seconds behind, he surged passed Van Lierde and held on for his second runner-up finish here in Kona.
Van Lierde would hang on for third, followed by Kienle and then Al-Sultan, who was a popular addition to the top-five.

UCLA Anderson Professor Sanford M. Jacoby has been chosen as a 2009 Scholars Fellow of the Labor & Employment Research Association (LERA). The Fellows designation is meant to recognize scholars who have made contributions of unusual distinction in the field. The multi-disciplinary awards committee was most impressed with Jacoby's lifetime of work in his field. According to the awards committee, "the decision that your achievements are outstanding and that you are deserving of this honor speaks highly of your work and its contribution to enlightening labor issues..."
This is the second year in which the Fellows award has been made. Joining Jacoby as 2009 Fellows, are Professors Henry Farber of Princeton University and David Lipsky of Cornell University. The three received their awards in early January, 2010 at LERA's annual convention in Atlanta, Georgia.
"I'm grateful for this recognition of my scholarship to date," said Jacoby. "But I also look forward to continuing my research well into the future."
In April 2009, Jacoby was awarded a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship for his historical and comparative study of how labor movements in industrial nations have tried to shape financial markets and corporate governance through regulatory efforts and strategic use of pension assets. His research focuses on the United States, United Kingdom, Germany and Japan. Jacoby has been working on the project - entitled "Labor and Finance: Perspectives on Risk, Inequality, and Democracy"- for the past three years, and hopes to use the fellowship to support his authoring a book on the topic.

What started as a quick fix for a scratch on Jill Bell's 1993 Saturn SL turned into a unique, quilt-inspired paint job which took over a year and 250 bottles of nail polish to complete.
Jill Bell noticed a scratched spot in a dent on the hood of her 1993 Saturn and decided to cover it with nail polish before the onset of winter caused it to rust and spread. When it held up to the elements, Jill, an avid quilter, wondered why she couldn't cover the entire car in a quilt inspired paint job of the same stuff. Over the course of a year, Jill collected unused bottles of nail polish from her friends and worked at creating a patchwork pattern reminiscent of her favorite past time.
The car definitely stands out in traffic, and when asked how people respond Jill said "the only people who have said anything are the people that like it." Maybe not our cup of tea, but it's better than a Lamborghini with a butterfly wings and skulls paint job. [Maryland Gazette]

Last year, ABC introduced a midseason sitcom called Work It!, about two unemployed St. Louis men disguising themselves (terribly) as women in order to get work. To the surprise of no one, it was canceled after four episodes. It's hard to imagine anyone — including the creators and the network execs — not knowing that a 21st century Bosom Buddies was bound to crash and burn and evaporate off the face of the pop-cultural map. And yet, it somehow made it to air. So did Cavemen, the show based on the Geico commercials. And Joey, Matt LeBlanc's Friends spinoff. Every year around this time, a crop of unmitigated disasters that seemingly anyone could see coming a mile away, rush at us through our TV screens like runaway trains packed with explosions. Here are four new ones about to explode and disappear in your living room in the next few weeks.
Oh, so it's basically First Kid: The TV Show? Or is it more accurate to say Black Sheep: The White House Years"? Except Chris Farley is dead, so he's been replaced by the Poor Man's Fat Curly-Haired Guy from Saturday Night Live? And the president is the guy who was already the president in Independence Day? Fail.
All remaining goodwill toward the Sex and the City franchise dried up — much like … ugh, I can't even bring myself to finish that joke — after that utterly useless second movie, which revealed the show for what it's always been: lifestyle porn for privileged white women. That doesn't bode well for this prequel, which follows a teenage version of Carrie Bradshaw, played by AnnaSophia Robb. The most depressing thing about this show is that everyone watching will know that Robb is going to grow up to become Sarah Jessica Parker. Poor girl.
So apparently this show is about a detective or something (Kevin Bacon) being stalked by a serial killer inspired by the works of Edgar Allan Poe. Sounds great, until you realize that one of the worst movies of last year was also about a killer inspired by Edgar Allan Poe targeting a detective … who happened to be Edgar Allan Poe himself. You probably don't remember that film. That's because it came, got laughed at by critics and audiences alike, and quickly vanished. It's hard to imagine this program doing much better.
Call it Dr. Jekyll and Mr. House, M.D.: A doctor with a split personality is a brilliant neurosurgeon by day, self-destructive carouser by night. And he's off his meds! Actually, this sounds more like An American Werewolf in London, except instead of turning into a violent quadripedal man-beast, the protagonist morphs into a giant douchebag. That just reminds me that we're long overdue for a werewolf medical drama, and this thing ain't gonna cut it.

Gioia Pizzeria
Berkeley's veteran slice mavens at Gioia manage to deftly meld New York crust with market-driven California ingredients, satisfying even the nearly every Italian food lover in its wake..Former New Yorkers love to gripe about how Bay Area pizza gets it all wrong, but Gioia has always sidestepped these condemnations. Berkeley's veteran slice mavens manage to deftly meld New York crust with market-driven California ingredients, silencing all but the most cantankerous critics. And the opening of the San Francisco outpost has Gioia's upping its game, offering a larger dining area and a more extensive menu. The magicians in the kitchen here on Polk Street cook with the same farm-to-fork ethos, it's just applied to a greater variety of options. (That sounds like a win-win to us.) Try the chicken parmesan sandwich, which features a chunky, house-made marinara on a fresh ciabatta bun. Or bite into the breakfast pizza that's dotted with Neuske bacon, fontina cheese and some sunny-side up eggs. And speaking of eggs, Gioia has a full breakfast menu, which, yes, is as reliably good as its lunch and dinner options. See? There's a reason San Francisco's notoriously fickle restaurant crowd has warmly welcomed the East Bay transplant to this side of the bridge—it's just that good.
Menu Highlights:
5 Dot Burger (available at lunch, brunch, and Wednesday nights)
The Hangover (Calabrian tomato sauce, house made sausage, and fried farm eggs)
Chicken Parmesan Sandwich, $11
Tuna confit salad, $14
14-inch pizza, $18

Post subject: passover etc
Hello ,
Passover is one week away , and everybody is in a state of amok around here. Supermarkets are overcrowded, presents are bought, new clothes are poured over the kids and food is being cooked in astronomic quantities, af if we face seven years of famine . We have a small Seder this year, only 12 persons, as the kids are with the "other" grandparents.
Judy, Matzos are the staple basic food for passover. It's a kind of big square thin cracker made only of flour and water, no yeast of course ( it's forbidden). Today there are many improvemnts on this rather boring kind of food, and we have chocolate coated matzos ( in my opinion they belong to the forun dealing of food never to pass my lips),egg matzos ( very good), light Matzos ( less calories, but still very fattening) .
Yes, of course Lexi is right, food, religion, rituals and traditions are closely linked. But I do think the food element has a very big part in jewish relious tradition, because it doesn't only involve the holidays. It involves every day life. Observant Jews have to keep a large array of dietary laws, all their food has to be Kosher, with a special rabbinical authorization . Every aspect of food is regulated: the kind of meats and fish allowed, how to slaughter the cattle, no dairy food eaten together with meat food, etc etc ,etc. Passover adds to these every day restrictions the "do not eat leavened bread " one.
Lexi, Lady, I feel we are going to eat more or less the same food on Saturday evening: chopped liver, chopped eggs, soup and matzo balls , chicken ( we eat lamb also), and too many matzos.
The orthodox Eastern is next in line. Any recipes from our friends celebrating the greek orthodox eastern?
The next Jewish holiday is in June, seven weeks after passover, and it's one of the most holy ones - Shavuoth, or the feast of the "giving of the Torah" . It's associated with dairy food, but it's enough for today,
Happy Passover,

simona (and anyone else who can help) Is there an appropriate Passover greeting? I just wished a friend of mine a "Jolly Passover" and she certainly gave me a bewildered look. I realize it is a solemn festival but since it is marked by eating I figured it had to be a joyful festival as well.

You can't go wrong wishing some one a happy holiday (which would be a rough translation from the Hebrew of what one might say). My personal greeting or greeting card sentiment is best wishes for a happy and meaningful Passover, since the holiday does focus so much on the meaning and not just the ritual and the meal.
Jolly might be a bit strong for a holiday dealing with plagues, 40 years marching and slavery, but that could be a linguisitic difference between English speaking countries.

I love "Jolly Passover!"
I've been pouring over recipes, determined to do something different this year for the seder (as opposed to the standard roast chicken, roast potatoes, and asparagus.) I plan to make chicken soup and matzo balls (I like fresh dill in mine), gefilte fish (store bought), but not sure after that. Any fresh ideas? Epicurious has an interesting eggplant, lamb, and matzo thing...
A jolly passover to you all.

"Jolly Passover". I love this David, I love this very much. In Hebrew it sounds weird, but what a lovely sound in canadian ( sorry, english).
But if you want to be Passoverly correct, than the "right" greetings would be" A happy and kosher Pesach to you" - Kosher for Pesach is more Kosher than Kosher - it's about the Matzos and no baguettes. Even the non religious jews, like me, don't eat bread on the Seder night. But in Israel 2005 you can find restaurants who serve bread, bakeries open in the non jewish quarters, things unthinkable 10-20 years ago.
Hi creampuff, are you an Hebrew speaker? Pesah is not a sad holiday,not a solemn festival, on the contrary: we celebrate our passage from slavery to freedom; the plagues were bad for the poor egyptians, the jews, thank G. were spared; it's mandatory to drink 4 glasses of wine so as to make sure everyone is happy, and there are many songs to be sung.
Hi Suzy, Hag Sameah ( Happy holiday in Hebrew). Why not try a nice roasted leg of lamb with rosemary with a mint sauce? Or a Roulade of breast of veal with prunes ? Or corned beef with a potato salad? I considered "canard a l'orange" , but i'll leave it for the last day of Pesach.
And what's wrong with a roastbeef, roasted root vegetables, string greean beans sauteed in olive oil and garlic ?
We will have baked carp with herbs, the inevitable chicken soup with "kneidalech" ( matzo balls in Iddish), Pate of chicken liver, the inevitable roast chicken ( but with oranges and apples and a little white wine) and lamb, Potatoes, baby carrots with butter, lemon and mint and a big green salad with a vinaigreete, walnuts and pomelo slices.
THE Chocolate walnut cake ( see recipe somewhere in this forum), strawberries and a lot of good red wine will complete the meal.
No more war, more Jolly, happy, peaceful, joyful, meaningful and loveful Pesah!!

Encore me. Before I plunge in the preparation of the Seder, I would like to share one more recipe for passover, before it's too late. As you well know, bread is "out" during the eight days of the passover holiday, but something with the consistency of bread was invented: the Matzo flour buns. They are delicious, and make a very nice change to the dry Mazos.
Zina's ( my mother) Matzo flour buns - Kosher for Pesah ( Passover):
1 cup water
100 g margarine ( or butter)
1.5 cup Matzo flour
5 eggs
Salt, pepper
1 egg for basting
Bring to a boil the water and Margarine ( Butter). Add salt .
Add the matzo flour and stir well. Cool for five minutes.
Add eggs one by one, incorporating them well .
Add pepper and more salt if needed ( You can taste the mix, it's edible).
Put a tablespoonful of the batter on an slightly oiled baking sheet,or take a little batter in your hands and form a ball the size of a ping-pong ball.
( It's easier if your hands are wet) . Baste with egg. you may sprinkle kummmel if you like (I don't).
Bake at 200C until done (do the tooth paste test - if it come out dry, its done). It's delicious and feels like bread. Bon Appetit!
no more war, more matzo flour buns!

Many Jews of East European extraction do not eat lamb on Passover for reasons that have something to do with the destruction of the temple.
Some very observant Jews don't eat any roast meat at the seder for the same reason.
On the other hand, a lot of Sephardic and Middle Eastern Jews seek out lamb dishes at this time because of its connection to the holiday.
It is probably a good idea before serving lamb to your Passover guests to check just to check make sure they are comfortable with the concept.
There are many other rules and restrictions that some people follow, others ignore and still others don't even know about. Judaism 101 has info on Passover food guidelines and more. The link to the Passover info is
I didn't mean to imply it is a sad holiday, just that it is not a trivial one. Jolly to an American's ears is a bit odd.

This has been a great thread! So very much to learn. And such good and willing teachers. Thanks to you all and a happy and kosher Pesach to you! (thanks simona)
yes creampuff "jolly" really isn't a very American word is it, much more British/Canadian I guess----and I use it to express joy.

Hello ,
today is the last Day of Passover, and thanks G. No more Matzos until next year. But this evening is also a day for a special celebration, traditional only with the Maroccon Jewish community. It's colled "mimouna" and it celebrates the end of the Passover and the returning to flour consumption. The mimouna is a recognized feast , and kisd don't go to school the next day. On this evening, the Jews of Marocco
"open" literally their home, to friends family and whoever wants to come in and invite them to share their " break of Passover" with an incredible array of sweets based on marzipan, fresh fruits, various nuts, jams and confitures, dried fruits . An then, they prepare, with the first flour , delicious pancakes , fried in olive oil and served with butter and honey. These pankakes are named " moufleta", and though very fattening, are delicious. We are invited today to friends of maroccon origin, in a little county-side village near Tel Aviv, and I'm afraid I will forget all about my everlasting diet.
No more war, more "moufletas"

Happy New Year 5770!!
I enjoyed very much reading this thread , and though it's mostly about Passover, it does fit for this occasion too.
So to all our friends, Jews and non- Jews. I wish you a very happy, healthy and peaceful New year.
And because this is a food blog, some tips about the food we eat today and tomorrow: food with a sweet note, beginning with a slice of apple dipped in honey, followed by some fish, then meat/chicken with dried fruits , and of course , a honey cake. I will certainly not check my sugar level tomorrow!!
No more war, many more happy new years!!

A very Happy New Year 5770 to you and to everyone, Simona.
The foods you're planning to eat to celebrate Rosh Hashana (hope I've got that right) sound delicious.
Doing what you like is freedom
Liking what you do is happiness

Continental-BMW Team to Develop Autonomous Cars for Freeways
Executive Summary
The German companies intend to build several prototypes to analyze the requirements of freeway driving, including interchanges, toll gates and work zones. Tests will be made on German autobahns as well as other European freeways.
PARIS – Continental, the first supplier to have an autonomous car licensed in Nevada, agrees to work with BMW for two years to develop a robotic vehicle suitable for traveling on freeways.
Engineers from the two companies expect to define the prerequisites for autonomous cars that could drive themselves on limited-access highways sometime around 2020.
"Driving cannot be automated overnight," says Elmar Degenhart, chairman of the executive board of Continental. "It is much more a gradual process, stretching out over a period of over 10 years."
The German auto maker and supplier intend to build several prototypes to analyze the requirements of freeway driving, including interchanges, toll gates and work zones. Tests will be made on German autobahns as well as freeways in other European countries.
At the Detroit auto show in January, Degenhart said the basic technologies required already are developed, including "long- and short-range radar sensors, stereo and monochromatic camera systems and sensor fusion."
By 2016, Continental's customers will begin using low-speed autonomous driving in traffic jams, for instance, but that full high-speed automatic driving could be as far away as 2025, he says.
Developing a safe architecture to account for any malfunction is one goal of the BMW accord. Continental says it will help develop functions to do basic research under BMW's guidance.
The supplier has more than 1,300 employees working on the basic technologies needed for automated driving, such as adaptive cruise control and emergency brake assistance.
Continental also has built automated cars. In 2011, as part of the European Union's research project "HAVEit," the supplier developed an automated assist system for driving in traffic tie-ups and around road work.
Last year, the company obtained a license in Nevada for its prototype robotic car, which to date has driven more than 15,000 miles (24,140 km) on public roads.
Degenhart says a significant percentage of consumers already are prepared to spend about $3,000 for automated functions under certain conditions.
Continental and BMW also have been cooperating on another German research project, SimTD, which is dedicated to improving highway safety by enabling vehicles to better communicate with each other and the existing traffic infrastructure in the central Frankfurt-Rhine-Main region.
The massive program, involving auto makers, universities and government agencies, began in 2008 and focuses on collecting traffic data from 120 test vehicles piloted by everyday drivers as well as experts representing different ages and genders in various scenarios, from congested cities and urban highways to neighborhoods and 2-lane country roads.
The driving portion of the study kicked into high gear last June, when the 120 test vehicles combined began logging 31,070 miles (50,000 km) a week.
SimTD, which is nearing its conclusion, allows researchers to monitor traffic situations, identify events and further develop navigation systems and traffic-jam alerts – all important aspects of autonomous driving.
In central Frankfurt, several major intersections have been equipped with ITS Vehicle Stations to transmit relevant data to vehicles in the area, as well as the established traffic infrastructure. For instance, researchers will determine if traffic signals can be better programmed for smoother vehicle flow.
Continental supplies the car communications box installed on the test vehicles.
