When I first heard The Avalanches' monumental "Since I Left You," I felt it rush through my imagination just as it sparked revolution in my ears. It not only made we want to dance, but it inexplicably looked like dance in my mind. Then I saw this video and realized I wasn't the only one who felt their toes tap with every beat of this song. It is something of a small miracle that directors Rob Leggatt and Leigh Marling came up with a vision so strikingly original, and yet perfectly in tune with the mood of the track. Since my very first viewing I've been unable to separate the image of the dancing miner from the notes in the song, they have become indelibly linked in my imagination.
The directors do more than make a solid Flashdance-like dance video, they approximate the aura of the track, which is perhaps a more difficult and impressive feat. In the song the summery vibe of the flutes and shimmering synths are projected against a somewhat bittersweet tone in the lyrics and vocal delivery. With each subsequent repetition of the chorus we begin to wonder if the sampled singer has truly found a "world so new." The video takes the same mix of heartbreak and happiness but tells its own tale, something clearly inspired by but also independent of the music.
The two miners trapped underground with nothing but lighted-hardhats and a caged bird are suddenly awoken to beautiful music drifting down from above. The camera zooms in on them from afar, revealing the complete isolation of their situation - and yet still portraying a light among the pitch black of the surroundings. There's a cornucopia of imagery in that set-up, but the meaning is harder to get at. The song begins with "welcome to paradise" and when the miners break through to the surface there is an outpouring of light, so we might be inclined to assume this is a metaphorical journey to the heavens. Though it may very well be on one level a representation of a man's ascent to paradise, there is a deeper sense to the video as a whole.
The key to the work is the birdcage, which symbolizes exactly what you think it does. It appears not only in the beginning (the bird chirps as the light appears above), but also at the very end in the surviving miner's home. The elderly man speaks of his fallen friend as one who is gone, but one who is necessarily happy as well. The video doesn't simply want to suggest that perhaps his counterpart ran off with the mysterious dancers and lived a beautiful life- but that in his actions he displayed something of a characteristic required in the pursuit of joy.
When the two dirty men emerge from the darkness to find two gorgeous women staring down at them, they are both transfixed by the absurdity and excitement of the moment. Yet only one of them chooses to let the light lead him out of his "cage" and into freedom. He begins rather roughly, tentatively moving to the beat in whatever style he can think of. But he quickly learns from his partners how to truly express himself through dance, and by the end he has perfected an elegant grace that is completely his own. The dance floor is softly flooded with sunlight and the judges seem rightfully impressed by his moves. His friend, on the other hand, has numerous opportunities to join in and even has a willing dance partner by his side, but can only muster the courage to meekly play tambourine.
The video depicts the surviving miner as a black and white mirage as he fades away, while the missing one is shown in shining colors above him. He may be dead, but the risk he took in expressing himself, if only for a moment, has at the very least given voice to his emotions. He has transfigured the norms of society and ascended somewhere truly inspiring, while his friend remains still trapped with his birdcage and tambourine decades later. It's something beyond carpe diem, and more than anything it's immersed in the hope of human spontaneity - the power of opening yourself to the possibilities of life.
This equally transcendent video gleams the majority of it's strength from juxtaposing humorous and seemingly random images in one epic collage. Much like the song itself.

NVIDIA's Bumpy Ride: A Q4 2009 Updateby Anand Lal Shimpi on October 14, 2009 12:00 AM EST
- Posted in
- GPUs
There's a lot to talk about with regards to NVIDIA and no time for a long intro, so let's get right to it.
At the end of our Radeon HD 5850 Review we included this update:
"Update: We went window shopping again this afternoon to see if there were any GTX 285 price changes. There weren't. In fact GTX 285 supply seems pretty low; MWave, ZipZoomFly, and Newegg only have a few models in stock. We asked NVIDIA about this, but all they had to say was "demand remains strong". Given the timing, we're still suspicious that something may be afoot."
Less than a week later and there were stories everywhere about NVIDIA's GT200b shortages. Fudo said that NVIDIA was unwilling to drop prices low enough to make the cards competitive. Charlie said that NVIDIA was going to abandon the high end and upper mid range graphics card markets completely.
Let's look at what we do know. GT200b has around 1.4 billion transistors and is made at TSMC on a 55nm process. Wikipedia lists the die at 470mm^2, that's roughly 80% the size of the original 65nm GT200 die. In either case it's a lot bigger and still more expensive than Cypress' 334mm^2 40nm die.
Cypress vs. GT200b die sizes to scale
NVIDIA could get into a price war with AMD, but given that both companies make their chips at the same place, and NVIDIA's costs are higher - it's not a war that makes sense to fight.
NVIDIA told me two things. One, that they have shared with some OEMs that they will no longer be making GT200b based products. That's the GTX 260 all the way up to the GTX 285. The EOL (end of life) notices went out recently and they request that the OEMs submit their allocation requests asap otherwise they risk not getting any cards.
The second was that despite the EOL notices, end users should be able to purchase GeForce GTX 260, 275 and 285 cards all the way up through February of next year.
If you look carefully, neither of these statements directly supports or refutes the two articles above. NVIDIA is very clever.
NVIDIA's explanation to me was that current GPU supplies were decided on months ago, and in light of the economy, the number of chips NVIDIA ordered from TSMC was low. Demand ended up being stronger than expected and thus you can expect supplies to be tight in the remaining months of the year and into 2010.
Board vendors have been telling us that they can't get allocations from NVIDIA. Some are even wondering whether it makes sense to build more GTX cards for the end of this year.
If you want my opinion, it goes something like this. While RV770 caught NVIDIA off guard, Cypress did not. AMD used the extra area (and then some) allowed by the move to 40nm to double RV770, not an unpredictable move. NVIDIA knew they were going to be late with Fermi, knew how competitive Cypress would be, and made a conscious decision to cut back supply months ago rather than enter a price war with AMD.
While NVIDIA won't publicly admit defeat, AMD clearly won this round. Obviously it makes sense to ramp down the old product in expectation of Fermi, but I don't see Fermi with any real availability this year. We may see a launch with performance data in 2009, but I'd expect availability in 2010.
While NVIDIA just launched its first 40nm DX10.1 parts, AMD just launched $120 DX11 cards
Regardless of how you want to phrase it, there will be lower than normal supplies of GT200 cards in the market this quarter. With higher costs than AMD per card and better performance from AMD's DX11 parts, would you expect things to be any different?
Things Get Better Next Year
NVIDIA launched GT200 on too old of a process (65nm) and they were thus too late to move to 55nm. Bumpgate happened. Then we had the issues with 40nm at TSMC and Fermi's delays. In short, it hasn't been the best 12 months for NVIDIA. Next year, there's reason to be optimistic though.
When Fermi does launch, everything from that point should theoretically be smooth sailing. There aren't any process transitions in 2010, it's all about execution at that point and how quickly can NVIDIA get Fermi derivatives out the door. AMD will have virtually its entire product stack out by the time NVIDIA ships Fermi in quantities, but NVIDIA should have competitive product out in 2010. AMD wins the first half of the DX11 race, the second half will be a bit more challenging.
If anything, NVIDIA has proved to be a resilient company. Other than Intel, I don't know of any company that could've recovered from NV30. The real question is how strong will Fermi 2 be? Stumble twice and you're shaken, do it a third time and you're likely to fall.

Decades, actually. Reply
thermaltake - Saturday, October 24, 2009 - linkI too believe that many are overstating that PC gaming is dying. Comparing the hardware alone, PC graphics cards upgrade from less than a year, how long have the PS3, Xbox 360 been around? Game consoles are far inferior compared to PC hardware, and it shall always be the case. PC 3D graphics would always be better than that of the game consoles, yet they claim that PC game is dying? Reply
dragunover - Wednesday, October 14, 2009 - linkSince it ever came out?
Truth is, it's something like global warming. People use it to their advantage, take it way out of proportions, and no one knows where the real data is. I know for a fact that one of the reasons is that people simply don't have the money to buy a good pc. For this reason, free to play games with very low-level hardware entry like runescape, crossfire, war rock, combat arms, etc., etc. are actually there in the first place.
I for one know that many developers have used it just because they can't be assed to make a product - they won't be seeing any bigger paychecks because of it, so they'll FUD it up. *cough ID software john carmack cough cough* - Which I'd like to add doesn't seem to work in anything related to computer gaming in the past generation. Reply
Zingam - Wednesday, October 14, 2009 - linkThe previews of Fermi so far describe it as the greatest GPGPU but they don't even try to describe it as good graphics processor. And if you take into account what NVIDIA has said in the past about GPUs, things get quite unclear and interesting. Reply
dmv915 - Wednesday, October 14, 2009 - linkThank goodness for significant barriers for entry into a market. Who knows where Nvidia would be now. Reply
Unpas - Sunday, December 27, 2009 - linkThank god that we have a console market kept alive by artificial breathing since the PC-gaming came along. Im so happy to see the world revert back into the middle ages with a new console only every 4-5 years, and then the same shitty graphics in every released game from then to the next shitty console comes out. Of course this way is the new way. Its the future for innovation and technology. Companies dont have to compete with eachother. Perfectly socialistic or fascistic, or just plain stupid. Reply

Davidson Laboratory turns 75
Aside from its unusual length, there is nothing immediately remarkable about the Davidson Lab at Stevens Institute of Technology. But in the basement of the building that sits next to the third-base line of the college's baseball field, a 300-foot long wave tank — built in 1944 – has been a place of remarkable science and discovery that has influenced the fields of ocean engineering and maritime security.
The history of the Davidson Laboratory, which turns 75 this year, is steeped in the intellectual pursuits that shaped a generation of scientists and made the country into a naval superpower.
Around 600 B.C., Thucydides said "Shipbuilding and seafaring are exacting arts and should not be practiced casually." Those words have rung true at the laboratory during its proud history.
The experiments began in May, 1931. A professor of mechanical engineering with a passion for sailing, Kenneth S.M. Davidson, would use the swimming pool at Stevens Institute of Technology to study scale models of ships.
At that point, there were only two tow tank facilities in use in the United States, where scale models of maritime vessels could be evaluated. Davidson and his colleagues wanted to create one at Stevens. The campus, along the western shore of the Hudson River was – and continues to be – a great place to conduct maritime research.
With help from a $4,000 grant from the Research Corporation, as well as individual contributions, the first Stevens towing tank was constructed and opened in 1935 as the Experimental Towing Tank.
Measuring 101 feet in length with a semi-circular cross-section having a surface width of 9 feet and 4.5 ft depth, it was used to study sailing yachts.
In April of 1936, the Experimental Towing Tank became involved in the design of a racing yacht that would begin the facility's long history of achievement in the America's Cup race – the J boat "Ranger."
"Ranger" went on to become one of the most successful of the J class, winning the Cup in 1937, bringing acclaim to the designers and to Davidson for his modeling methods.
The recognition received by the lab for "Ranger" led to the commission of a wide assortment of experiments on vessels ranging from ferry craft and flying boat (seaplane) hulls to large, destroyer-type ships.
The Experimental Towing Tank came into its own and contributed to the history of America in the 1940s, as the country turned its full attention to World War II. By 1942 work at the lab was almost entirely devoted to supporting the war effort, with the facility being used roughly 16 hours a day.
As a result of U-boat attacks on merchant vessels, the university and US government officials recognized the need for a specialized facility to study the maneuvering of ships. In response, Professor Davidson submitted a proposal to the National Defense Research Committee of the Office of Scientific Research and Development. They proposed construction of a maneuvering basin on Hudson Street, at the western edge of the Stevens campus.
Construction was completed in June, 1942. Attention then turned to the need to better understand seaplane dynamics. This need, coupled with the fact that the first towing tank was now in almost continuous operation, led the university to propose the design and construction of what would be the world's most advanced and highest-speed towing tank. The new facility, measuring 313-feet long 12-feet wide and 6-feet deep, was completed in less than 9 months! It opened in November, 1944, and by the end of 1944 nearly 45% of the lab's work was focused on seaplane design.
After the war ended, work at the lab continued and even branched out to land vehicles. The so called "soil tank" was constructed in 1950 and, among other things, tested new types of vehicles and evaluated the differences between wheeled vehicles and track vehicles. During this time period, the lab was a primary player in the design of the first modern submarine (Albacore), initiating a research activity that persisted through the 1980s.
Shortly after Kenneth Davidson's death in 1958, the Experimental Towing Tank was re-dedicated as the Davidson Laboratory.
In the 1960s the laboratory resumed its "original work" on the scale model evaluations of sailing yachts, while still working on other maritime projects.
Through the 1970s and 1980s the laboratory continued to expand its portfolio, studying a variety of maritime vessels and helped develop several revolutionary vehicles, including the Marginal terrain vehicle the lunar rover and the first cybernetically-coupled vehicle. Greater computer analysis was also added to the laboratory during this time.
Over the last twenty years the laboratory has also advanced our understanding of marine environmental problems of crucial importance to society in general and the ocean community in particular.
The laboratory also works with the Department of Homeland Security and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) on technology that can instantly provide wind, tide, and other data to handheld computers to help the authorities better respond to storms, accidents, and other emergencies on the water.
This effort was evident following the recent landing of US Airways Flight 1549 on the Hudson River.
At the laboratory's 20th anniversary in 1955, Kenneth Davidson spoke to an assembled crowd and told the story of a woman, an octogenarian, who was approached by a genealogist who offered to trace her family tree.
The woman politely declined, explained Davidson, saying "I am much more interested in where I'm going than where I came from."
Davidson summed up his feelings about the lab the same way.
"We too are more interested in where we are going…"
If the last 75 years is any indication, some of the best work for the laboratory has yet to be conducted.

text: LED aquarium lighting continues to be a fan favorite among reef hobbyists because they are energy efficient, controllable and customizable and generate low heat to the tank. We carry Kessil, EcoTech Marine Radion, Vertex Illumina, Giesemann TESZLA and Aqua Illuminations Sol, Nano, Vega and Hydra fixtures, controllers and hanging kits. The LED bulbs themselves last a very long time and require a fraction of the electricity required by T5 and metal halide lighting. Additionally, aquarium LED lights offer maximum flexibility to fine tune light coloration, intensity and shimmer without having to replace bulbs because each LED is controllable. LED aquarium lights are dimmable with sunrise/sunset, moonlight and storm/cloud simulation.

Monday, November 2, 1998 - 7:00 p.m. CST
Discovery's crew took a few hours break from the continuous pace of
research activity on board today, a standard rest period for the crew
that is planned during longer shuttle flights.
Research continues, however, as the Spartan solar science satellite
released by Discovery yesterday now trails the Shuttle by about 30 miles,
performing observations of the sun and the solar wind. Discovery Commander
Curt Brown and Payload Specialist John Glenn also took time out to answer questions about the mission from reporters with major broadcast television
networks in the U.S. during the afternoon.
Later, Pilot Steve Lindsey and Mission Specialist Scott Parazynski
set up lap top computers in Discovery's cockpit in preparation for the
retrieval of the Spartan satellite on Tuesday. Spartan is planned to
be recaptured by the Shuttle at 2:45 p.m. tomorrow.
The crew is scheduled to go to sleep at 9:25 p.m. Central tonight and
awaken at 5:25 a.m. Tuesday. Prior to going to sleep, Brown will perform
a small firing of Discovery's steering jets to maintain the distance
from Spartan during the crew's night. Also, Glenn and fellow Payload
Specialist Chiaki Mukai will don special instrumentation they will wear
for a second night in a row that records a variety of information such
as brain waves and body motions as they sleep.
Discovery remains in excellent condition with no systems problems of
concern to Mission Control, orbiting Earth at an altitude of 348 by
338 statute miles. The next status report will be issued at 6 a.m. CST.

GREENBELT, Md., Oct. 19 (UPI) -- A study of hundreds of galaxies found an unexpected pattern of change going back 8 billion years, more than half the age of the universe, U.S. astronomers say.
"Astronomers thought disk galaxies in the nearby universe had settled into their present form by about 8 billion years ago, with little additional development since," Susan Kassin at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., said.
"The trend we've observed instead shows the opposite, that galaxies were steadily changing over this time period," she said.
Most galaxies go through a rough-and-tumble disorganized evolution before they settle into the rotating disk form seen in our Milky Way and other mature galaxies, astronomers said.
"Previous studies removed galaxies that did not look like the well-ordered rotating disks now common in the universe today," said co-author Benjamin Weiner, an astronomer at the University of Arizona in Tucson.
Researchers say the distant blue galaxies they studied -- blue because they are still forming stars -- are gradually transforming into rotating disk galaxies like our own Milky Way.
"By neglecting them, these [previous] studies examined only those rare galaxies in the distant universe that are well-behaved and concluded that galaxies didn't change."
"We are learning that galaxies today are like young adults," Kassin said. "Many of them had exciting youths marked by intense interactions with other galaxies, with a lot of growth spurts in mass, new stars, and heavy elements. But that chaotic growth has been slowing down as galaxies mature, and they become more organized and calmer inside."

McDonald's Taiwan Unveils Wrap Filled With Locally-Sourced Rice
Long time readers of this blog know that the fast food institutions aren't exactly the same in other countries. Some of them get fancy. Some of them get simple. Some of them get downright strange. Now McDonald's is trying to get healthy with a new series of menu items that have recently popped up at many of their Taiwan locations.
McDonald's Taiwan has recently rolled out Rice McWraps which is basically a McWrap with locally-sourced rice inside. At around 460 calories each, it's much less of a gut punch than a Big Mac and fries.
Alternatively, you can learn how to cook rice perfectly at home. Let the competition begin!

Just a couple of days after Jeremy Renner narrowly survived being hacked to bits by axe-wielding Thai bartenders, comes our first peek of the actor in "The Bourne Legacy."
Renner, who was in Thailand this week taking a break from shooting "Bourne," appears tightly coiffed and properly sullen in this debut image of him in the film, which ran in USA Today. With the film's release due Aug. 3, you would think that by now they'd have something for us with a little more sizzle, no?
"The Bourne Legacy," which is being written and directed by Tony Gilroy, who penned the previous "Bourne" films, "Michael Clayton" and "Duplicity," directing the latter two films. No one--with the possible exception of Doug Liman--is better qualified to direct this spin-off/sequel, which will pick up in the aftermath if the "Bourne" trilogy, with Aaron Cross (Renner) and friends still dealing with the Treadstone mess.
U.S. & World
And Renner's turn in "Ghost Protocol" has feeling even better than before about his selection as the new face of the "Bourne" franchise, but we still can't shake our disappointment over that photo.

The AAVSO Photoelectric Photometry (PEP) Section
Welcome to the website of the AAVSO Photoelectric Photometry (PEP) Section!
Photoelectric photometry is an observational technique used to obtain highly precise, calibrated observations of small amplitude variables. The AAVSO PEP Program was formally established in 1983, but our archive has PEP observations dating back to the 1950's. Currently, the AAVSO has over 52,000 PEP observations of over 550 different variables. Photometric V-filter data from observers following the standard AAVSO observation sequence and submitted via our pipeline are calibrated and transformed to the standard Johnson system. These data available from the AAVSO are very high-precision, with internal accuracies of several millimagnitudes. All of these observations are available through our data download form.
The AAVSO PEP Section
What We Do
You have seen all the Messier objects, at least once. Maybe you have found many of the objects on the Herschel or NGC lists. Now, you are looking for a new challenge, but not one that requires driving for hours to find a dark sky site. You live near a large city or other area that precludes the steady seeing required for planetary work, and you are not sure you want to lay out the cost for a premium CCD camera. What can you do?
Consider photoelectric photometry! If you have a good 6 or 8 inch (or larger) telescope with a reasonable drive on an equatorial or GO-TO alt-azimuth mount, please read on.
In recent years, advances in electronics and the availability of moderately priced photometers have brought PEP into the repertoire of many amateur astronomers. Used photometers can be found on eBay for about the price of a premium eyepiece. With such an instrument mounted on your telescope, you can obtain scientifically useful astronomical data. PEP measurements can even be done in bright, light-polluted areas and during bright phases of the moon. What you would be doing is photoelectric photometry of variable stars.
The AAVSO has developed a PEP observing program, targeting variable stars of all types that exhibit small amplitude variations, often less than one magnitude. Using your equipment, you can produce data as accurate as those generated in professional observatories. Professional astronomers use data produced by amateurs in papers published in the professional journals. The amateurs who provided the data are often given co-author status in the papers. But most important, you will be contributing new and valuable knowledge to the astronomical community.
Why PEP?
Photoelectric photometry is a time-consuming and meticulous process involving multiple measurements of the variable star, a comparison star, a check star, and the sky background for every single data point submitted, as well as a preliminary calibration process to determine how to transform the observer's data. This may seem like a lot of work for a single data point, but calibrated photoelectric photometry provides very precise, accurate data for many small amplitude variables, and is greatly valued by astrophysicists. Furthermore, nearly all PEP targets are bright variables, most brighter than 7th magnitude. Many of these stars are nearly impossible to observe with large telescopes, and many bright but astrophysically important variables (like Betelgeuse) have been neglected by all but the amateur community. Photoelectric data by AAVSO and other amateur photometrists thus provide an important record for many important variables in our sky. And although professional observers rarely perform photometry of bright stars, these objects aretargets for other kinds of professional observing programs like ultrahigh resolution spectroscopy and optical and near-infrared interferometry. Calibrated PEP data from the AAVSO can then be used to correlate the optical photometric behavior with other observables.
Who We Are
The AAVSO PEP program has been formally operating since 1983 and the data archive contains over 52,000 observations, by a number of observers from all around the world including Greece, Italy, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and throughout the United States.
Tom Calderwood (firstname.lastname@example.com), the AAVSO's PEP Section Leader, will help you get started. He will advise you in any technical matters concerning photometers, telescopes and observing techniques. Finder charts for all stars in the program are maintained by AAVSO Headquarters and are available on the AAVSO web site. You will submit your observations directly to the AAVSO database using tools that are available on the web site.

Phanatic Around Town
Best road trip of the spring is on tap for Tuesday, a game in Dunedin against the Blue Jays. Trip is 3 miles. Phillies will take BP at Bright House Field and then board the busses at 11:30 a.m. for the short journey.
1210 WPHT's Dom Giordano will be broadcasting live from the Tiki Bar, 9 a.m. to 12 noon on Tuesday. Radio stations from the Philly market will be here almost the entire month. John Brazer, Director, Publicity, has the chore of lining up guests for the stations.
Around Town
Phillie Phanatic received a key to the City of Clearwater from Mayor George N. Creketos this morning at Pier 60 on the Beach. An appearance at the Marine Museum preceded the key presentation.
On Sunday, the Phanatic stopped at Lenny's Restaurant and rode the Jolly Trolley on the beach.
Special Birthday
SS Al Monchak, who played 19 games with the Phillies in 1940, turns 95 today. He joins RHP Fred Schmidt, 96 and 2B Moon Mullen, also 95, as the oldest Phillies Alumni. In terms of the oldest living baseball players, Schmidt ranks #4, Mullen and Monchak, tied at 9th.
Other Alumni birthdays this week include Cookie Rojas, 73, on March 6; Dick Allen, 70, on March 8, and Terry Mulholland, 56 on March 9.
Baseball Heaven
When traded to St. Louis Scott Rolen was quoted as saying he was in baseball heaven. In all deference to Scott, baseball heaven is spring training at Bright House Field, especially when you can down a fresh strawberry shortcake while watching a ball game.
Mural Work
Players and staff were able to pitch-in painting the massive new mural celebrating the history of Phillies baseball on Friday and fans got a chance during Saturday's game.
The 3,750-square foot mural will be displayed on the side of a building near the Walnut Street Bridge. Unveiling will be during the Toyota Alumni Weekend in August.
Spring Training Memories
Billy DeMars (CH, 1969-81)
"It was 1947 with the Dodgers minor leaguers and we trained at the Pensacola (Florida) Air Base. They had a large complex of baseball fields. We lived in barracks and there were a ton of players. Back then the Dodgers had something like 26 minor league clubs, which amounted to 350 or 400 players.
"Every day they would blow a bugle at 6 a.m. We'd pile out of bed and get in lines. We lined up for everything: Breakfast, lunch, dinner, meetings and heading to the workouts. I remember the first day, Wade Mathews would ride in a Jeep and blow a whistle every 15 minutes. That meant we had to jog around the fields. I don't remember my number but we all had a paper number attached to the back of the uniform and with 350 or 400 players there were high numbers.
"My first spring with the Phillies was 1969 at Jack Russell Stadium. As a hitting coach, I loved working with the players in the cages. It never seemed like work. There was nothing I disliked about spring training. I just loved the game and was glad to be part of it."

Walter Lasecki, a graduate student at the University of Rochester, has been awarded the 2013 Ph.D. Fellowship at Microsoft Research. The fellowship is a highly competitive award given to 12 outstanding Ph.D. students in North American institutions each year in support of their academic research.
"Walter's award reflects both his brilliance and our department's success in graduate education," said Henry Kautz, chair of the computer science department at Rochester. "It is great to see University of Rochester alongside of Berkeley, CMU, MIT, Johns Hopkins, and Penn in the list of the winners' universities."
It is no surprise that Lasecki, who started programming while in elementary school, has focused on computer science. His projects aim to create a collective intelligence capable of completing tasks better and more consistently than any individual member of the crowd using mediation by an automated process.
"We're thinking about how to have a conversation with the crowd," said Lasecki. "There's gap between human computation and machine computation: they're not speaking the same language." He explains that although a phrase expressed in natural language that is the way people normally speak might be perfectly understandable to humans, a machine doesn't know what to do with it. Lasecki investigates how to connect the two using human understanding.
Now a third-year Ph.D. student, Lasecki has been working with his adviser Professor Jeff Bigham on projects that leverage this interaction to help people with disabilities. Together, Lasecki and Bigham have developed "Legion:Scribe," which allows real-time captioning of audio for the hard-of-hearing.
"It really lowers the barriers to entry; instead of paying a professional stenographer $150 an hour scheduled in advance, you can have access to a group of people at a fraction of the cost and on demand," Lasecki said. "We have very high precision and can send text back within a few seconds hearing it."
This builds on previous work in assistive technology by Bigham. An example of another project is a system that allows the visually-impaired to take a photo of their surroundings and quickly get feedback on what the crowd sees. For example, a user could hold a can of food up to a camera and get feedback from the crowd, telling him what the label on the can says.
"Walter is a truly rare graduate student who enters the program with an idea of what he wants to work on and brings people together around that idea to make it happen," said Bigham.
Lasecki's work has been previously covered in the New York Times, the MIT Technology Review, Gizmodo, and other publications.
The award covers the tuition and fees for two years of graduate study, a stipend for living expenses, and the opportunity to complete a salaried internship at Microsoft during the year following the award. Fellowship winners this year include students from Stanford University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Carnegie Mellon University.

Cicero, the famous Roman senator and orator once wrote, "Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all others." The virtue of gratitude is the ability to express our thankful appreciation in word or deed, to the person whose words or actions have benefited us in some way. The truly humble […]
" I don't need organized religion to be a good person," is the usual response that I get when I knock at random on the doors of the homes around my parish.
When I agree that they do not need organized religion to be a good person, people are taken aback. Catholics are not called to be good people; we are called to be saints. "I have been crucified with Christ, and I live now not with my own life but with the life of Christ who lives in me. The life I now live in this body I live in faith: faith in the Son of God who loved me and who sacrificed himself for my sake" (Galatians 2: 19-20).
We are called to be saints and we do need a church community in order to reach that goal. We do need the Catholic Church in order to be a saint, not that everyone who is in the Catholic Church is a saint, but that the Catholic Church has what it takes to make us into a saint.
First of all, the Catholic Church gives us the Holy Bible, the Word of God. Yes, it is true that all Christians love the Bible, but we have something that no one else has. We have a body of Bishops with the Bishop of Rome as the head, who, by God's design, serves the revealed Word of God with the task of giving an authentic interpretation to the Word. The Magisterium is the sole interpreter of Scripture and this frees the Church from ambiguity and arbitrary decisions, and it provides doctrinal unity.
Secondly, the Catholic Church gives us the Sacrament of the Eucharist, the Bread of Life. "Anyone who does eat my flesh and drink my blood has eternal life, and I shall raise him up on the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink" (John 6: 54-55). At every Catholic Mass, we receive Jesus, not symbolically or spiritually, but really. Through the miracle of Transubstantiation, the bread is no longer bread and the wine is no longer wine.
Thirdly, the Catholic Church gives us the Sacrament of Confession. "Receive the Holy Spirit. For those whose sins you forgive, they are forgiven; for those whose sins you retain, they are retained" (John 20: 23). Jesus acts or works through the Catholic priest and forgives us of our sins. The Sacrament of Reconciliation provides profound peace, because it is through the sacrament that we know for sure that God has heard us and that God has forgiven us.
Fourthly, the Catholic Church gives us the Mother. Mary, the Mother of Jesus is our mother. "Seeing his mother and the disciple he loved standing near her, Jesus said to his mother, 'Woman, this is your son.' Then to the disciple he said, 'This is your mother.' (John 19: 26-27). The Catholic Church has always experienced her maternal love as the Church journeys along this earthly pilgrimage to eternal life in Heaven.
So, it is true that we do not need a church in order for us to be good. If we want to be a saint, we do need the Catholic Church.

MINNEAPOLIS -- Health Fitness Corp., Minneapolis, reported revenue of $18.8 million in the second quarter of 2009, in line with second quarter 2008 revenue of $18.8 million, according to the company's financials released last week. Gross profit for the quarter increased 1.4 percent to $5.6 million compared to $5.5 million in the second quarter of 2008. Gross margin for the quarter was 29.9 percent compared to 29.4 percent in last year's second quarter. Health Fitness Corp. reported net earnings of $0.36 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, the same as in the second quarter of 2008.
The company generated three new health management commitments and three health management customer expansions during the quarter, resulting in potential annualized revenue of $3.7 million, compared to $1.9 million generated in the same quarter last year, a 95 percent increase.
In a statement from the company, Gregg Lehman, president and chief executive officer, said that the $3.7 million of potential annualized revenue from new health management business represents the company's best quarter since the second quarter of 2006.
Health Fitness also generated four new fitness management commitments during the quarter, resulting in potential annualized revenue of $0.7 million, compared to $0.5 million of customer expansions in the same quarter last year, a 40 percent increase. This is the highest number of new fitness commitments for the company since the fourth quarter of 2006, Lehman said.
Not all is rosy, however. Health and fitness management annualized revenue loss from contract cancellations during the quarter totaled $0.1 million and $1.2 million, respectively, versus $0.2 million in last year's second quarter for fitness management. Net of contract cancellations, total potential annualized revenue generated during the second quarter of 2009 was $3.1 million, up 41 percent compared to $2.2 million in the comparable quarter of 2008.
The weak economy has further eroded the company's base of fitness revenue as evidenced by the $1.2 million of annualized revenue Health Fitness will lose from second quarter contract cancellations, Lehman said.
"The good news is that the economy appears to be stabilizing, which makes us believe that contract cancellations may be lower during the second half of the year," he said in the statement. "When combined with approximately $3 million of potential annualized revenue in our fitness sales pipeline, there is a very good opportunity to start 2010 with positive revenue growth in our fitness segment."
Some notable health management wins for the second quarter include a $1.2 million expansion of a middle market customer that Health Fitness secured during the first quarter, and a $1.3 million commitment from a Fortune 100 financial services company.
Regarding the company's health management sales pipeline, Health Fitness is currently among the finalists on 18 requests for proposal representing total potential annualized revenue of approximately $10 million, according to Lehman.
"Given the new commitments and expansions generated in the first half of the year, along with a strong sales pipeline, we are optimistic that 2010 will produce stronger top- and bottom-line results," he said.

Healthy Eating: Finding the Right Balance for You
Healthy eating and the concept of "diet" (as in weight loss) are not synonymous. We eat healthy to have energy and feel good. It is not always what we eat but how we eat and how much we eat. Therefore, deprivation of the foods you love is not always eating healthy.
Here are several tips that will help you to incorporate good choices into your lifestyle:
- Know your food groups and include the right percentage from each group into your daily diet.
- Moderation is the key. Whether it comes to making a change in your diet, lifestyle or food choices, moderation is the key.
- Consider how you think about food, where and when you eat. Is food for nourishment, for enjoyment or both?
- Make sure that your diet consists of the colors of the rainbow. Fruits and vegetables are the foundation of a healthy diet. Fresh fruit is best, as juices contain too much sugar.
- Know the difference between good and bad carbohydrates. Eat more whole grains and less white bread or white sugar.
- Fats are an important part of your diet, eat a daily dose of good fats: those found in walnuts, soybeans, fish oils, avocados, almonds, hazelnuts, olive oil and canola oil. Avoid foods with saturated fats, such as whole milk, animal fats and foods containing vegetable shortening, such as fried foods and baked goods.
- Don't forget that protein gives us energy. Protein is necessary for our tissue and muscles to function and grow. There are many sources of healthy quality protein such as lean meats and poultry, beans, nuts and soy products.
- Vitamin D and Calcium are essential for strong healthy bones. The average daily recommendation is 1000 mg per day

Diplomats Help Boost Rates at World's Most Expensive Hotels
by Tara Loader Wilkinson
Starwood Hotels
Royal Penthouse Suite at the President Wilson Hotel in Geneva commands
$65,000 a night for its four-bedroom penthouse.
Amid the recession, rock stars, diplomats and other celebrities find
solace from the doom and gloom by spending their time in sanctuary
provided by the world's most luxurious, and expensive, hotels. While
many of us are tightening our belts, shortening our summer holidays or
even abandoning them, hoteliers to the rich and famous claim to have no
trouble filling their most exclusive accommodations, and in the case of
the most expensive suite in the world, managing to double its rate to
$65,000 (€45,642) a night.
In an annual survey by Financial News' sister publication Wealth
Bulletin, the Royal Penthouse Suite at the President Wilson Hotel in
Geneva, Switzerland, tops the list as the most expensive hotel room in
2009, commanding $65,000 for its four-bedroom penthouse — twice as much
as patrons paid a year ago for its luxurious setting and views of Lake
Geneva and Mont Blanc.
The hotel's management puts the rise down to "buoyant demand" from
government officials and U.N. diplomats.
Last year's winner, the iconic Ty Warner Penthouse at the Four
Seasons Hotel in New York, came second this time, at $35,000, $1,000 up
from last year.
New entries this year were the third-placed Presidential Suite at the
Hotel Cala di Volpe in Sardinia, the Villa La Cupola Suite at the
Westin Excelsior in Rome and the Presidential Suite at the Ritz-Carlton
in Tokyo.
Despite the past year's financial and economic turmoil, prices at the
best hotel suites have risen by an average of 10% this year. Herbert
Ypma, founder of the Hip Hotels brand, said: "The very high end hasn't
suffered all that much. A lot of hotels used to having upmarket
clientele are getting the benefit of them taking far more time off than
usual — so they have more time to stay in hotels. Money was never the
issue, time was."
Hoteliers said that although the number of business travellers has
fallen in the past year, government officials have taken their place in
the best rooms and suites.
President Barack Obama and his entourage took over the entire
Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Moscow for three nights in June. The President
Wilson Hotel said heads of state and other high-level government
officials are fuelling demand for its hugely expensive Royal Penthouse
Vivian Deuschl, spokeswoman for Ritz-Carlton Hotels, said demand is
also coming from wealthy leisure travellers: "Last year they might have
taken three or four cheaper holidays. This year they are taking one big
vacation, but pulling out all the stops."
The 10 most expensive hotel suites according to Wealth Bulletin's
survey for 2009 are:
Four Seasons
library of the Ty Warner Penthouse at New York's Four Seasons Hotel.
1. The Royal Penthouse Suite, President Wilson Hotel, Geneva
— $65,000 per night
Complete with a cocktail lounge, the Royal Penthouse Suite at the
President Wilson is so exclusive that bookings reportedly have to be
made through the hotel's chairman. The suite occupies the entire top
floor of the hotel. It is reached by a private elevator, has four
bedrooms overlooking Lake Geneva and Mont Blanc and comes with six
bathrooms. Equipped with bulletproof windows and doors, it is almost
exclusively reserved for celebrities or state heads, ideal with the
United Nations headquarters a five-minute drive away.
2. Ty Warner Penthouse, Four Seasons Hotel, New York —
$35,000 per night
Business at the Ty Warner Penthouse at the Four Seasons Hotel in New
York has remained as buoyant as when the suite opened in 2007, according
to a spokeswoman. The nine-room suite has walls inlaid with thousands
of pieces of mother-of-pearl. There is an indoor-outdoor Zen garden, a
private spa room with a screen of living bamboo and a book-lined
library, which has a grand piano at its centre.
3. The Presidential Suite, Hotel Cala di Volpe, Costa
Smeralda, Sardinia — $34,000 per night
The Presidential Suite at Hotel Cala di Volpe near Porto Cervo,
averages around $34,000 a night, although during the peak summer season
will cost as much as $45,000. Located in the hotel tower, the
multi-level Presidential Suite sprawls across 2,500 sq ft and has three
bedrooms, three bathrooms, a private gym, a steam room and a wine
cellar. It is crowned by a rooftop terrace with an outdoor saltwater
swimming pool.
4. Villa La Cupola Suite, Westin Excelsior, Rome — $31,000
per night
Villa La Cupola Suite in Rome's Westin Excelsior embodies all things
Roman and excessive: a cupola, a Pompeii-style Jacuzzi, frescoes and
stained glass windows detailing allegories of a mythological figure
paired with a modern one, such as Atlas and Television, Hypnosis and
Neurosis, Hermes and Marketing and Hermaphrodite and Fashion. Located on
the fifth and sixth floors, the suite covers 6,099 sq ft and has an
additional 1,808 sq ft of balconies and terraces overlooking Via Veneto.
Presidential Suite at Tokyo's Ritz-Carlton.
5. The Presidential Suite, Ritz-Carlton Tokyo — $25,000 per
The Presidential Suite, on the top floor of the city's tallest
building, has spectacular views of Mount Fuji and Roppongi Hills, as
well as an expansive vista of Tokyo's impressive cityscape. It occupies
2,368 sq ft. For refreshments, guests may enjoy the $18,000
Diamonds-Are-Forever Martini, which comes with a one-karat Bulgari
diamond at the bottom.
6. The Bridge Suite, The Atlantis, Bahamas — $22,000 per
The 10-room Bridge Suite is actually a bridge spanning the two towers
of the Atlantis Hotel. The 23rd-floor suite is decked with marble
floors, a grand piano and a 22-carat gold chandelier. It was known in
former times as "the Michael Jackson Suite" because of his regular
stays. Prices have come down from $25,000 last year and fees are
negotiable. Nevertheless, the suite is so exclusive the hotel does not
even advertise it.
7. The Imperial Suite, Park Hyatt Vendôme, Paris — $20,000
per night
The Imperial Suite at the Park Hyatt in Paris provides guests with an
"in-suite-spa" concept — with the bathroom/spa comprising a whirlpool
bath, a steam shower room and a massage table. The 2,500 sq ft penthouse
suite has a huge living room, a dining room, a kitchen and a work area.
Burj Al Arab
Royal Suite at the Burj Al Arab in Dubai.
8. Royal Suite, Burj Al Arab, Dubai — $19,600 per night
Since it was built in the mid-1990s, the Burj Al Arab has become one
of the world's most instantly recognizable hotels with its billowing
sail-like structure stretching out on an artificial island into the Gulf
of Arabia. The Royal Suite on the 25th floor has a marble-and-gold
staircase, leopard print carpets, its own private lift and a rotating
four-poster canopy bed.
9. Royal Armleder Suite, Le Richemond, Geneva — $18,900 per
The Royal Armleder Suite at the Le Richemond Hotel is named after the
wealthy family who used to own the famous hotel before Rocco Forte
bought it in August 2004. The three-bedroom suite, which stretches over
2,500 sq ft on the seventh floor, has a 1,000 sq ft terrace with
panoramic views of Lake Geneva, a real log fire and floor-to-ceiling
bulletproof windows. Olga Polizzi, Rocco Forte's sister and well-known
hotel interior designer, designed the suite.
10. The Ritz-Carlton Suite, The Ritz-Carlton, Moscow —
$16,500 per night
To stay at the best suite in Moscow's Ritz-Carlton would cost around
$16,000 a night — $500 less than last year. Furnished in Russian
imperial style, the 2,370 sq ft suite has views of famous Moscow sites
including the Kremlin and Red Square. The suite comes with that
necessity for the security-conscious Russian billionaire — a panic room
with its own energy and telecommunications facilities.
Research for this survey was compiled during mid-August. Prices are
rate per night including taxes.

Maine bars and restaurants may not be able to open early on St. Patrick's Day
Emergency bill stalled in House
An emergency bill stalled in the Maine House of Representatives that would allow bars and restaurants to open early Sunday for St. Patrick's Day.
But unless this emergency bill can get two-thirds of the House, and the governor, to pass before Thursday, it won't go into effect in time.
Since Gov. Paul LePage threatened to stop any bill until the hospital bill is passed, that puts this proposal in serious danger.
Usually bars and restaurants can sell alcohol starting at 6 a.m. Monday through Saturday, but the earliest they're allowed to sell on Sunday is 9 a.m.
And when your biggest day of the year falls on a Sunday, that can mean huge problems for your profits.
"It's our black Friday. It's the day we start turning a profit," said business owner Dan Steele.
Now you might be asking yourself how much money can one Irish pub really make between 6 and 9 a.m.
"People saying, "Oh it's just three hours." This is worth thousands of dollars," said Steele.
For a place like Brian Boru, the answer is a lot of money.
"We do three times at least the business we do any other day of the year," said Whitney Reynolds, general manger at the bar.
Opponents of the proposal don't understand why people need to start that early.
Steele said they're not seeing it from an economic standpoint.
"This doesn't cost the state anything. This gives the state money. It's basically a check in hand that I'm waiting to give the governor that says here it is," said Steele.
Not everyone wants to start the celebration that early.
"I guess some can go all day, the true Irishman can. But I'm Irish and I can't. I'm gonna be honest: I don't want to be sloppy," said Amanda Tubbs.
John Stetson said drinkers who hit the bottle a little too heavy aren't the one drinking at 6 a.m.
"It's a tradition to come at 6 a.m. There's a core group of people who have been doing this for twenty years and they love it. I am not a 6 a.m. person, more of a 10 a.m. person," said Stetson.
News 8 called the Governor's Office on Tuesday to ask if the legislature passes the bill before Thursday would he sign it.
His spokesperson said she can't speculate on how he will vote and he will determine that vote if the Legislature is able to pass this on.

Today I am heading back to the Yukon Territory (I am actually in Vancouver now). I first arrived there as a 18 year old in search of true wilderness by way of a four day bus trip on a Greyhound bus with my good buddy Eric Addie. We spent six nights and seven days crossing raging rivers, hiking through waist deep snow and encountering, for the first time – but not the last, a full grown grizzly bear. But this wasn't my first introduction to the Yukon. That came years before, back when I was in grade 3, and, sick with the flu, my Mom rented me a National Geographic documentary titled Yukon Passage, about four men who built a log raft in the tradition of the Klondike Gold Rush. I was hooked, and I still am.
Over the last 2 years I have been talking with Nick Crowe, an Executive Producer at HISTORY Canada about working together to create a television show that embraces my authentic style of storytelling while celebrating the high quality programming that people have come to expect from HISTORY. Welcome to 7 DAYS IN HELL.
The idea is simple, my river mate Cliff Quinn and myself are dropped into a historic scenario of survival with a mission to overcome that culminates on the 7th day. We're left only with period gear and all the camera equipment needed to self-document our struggle.
For this shoot we will walk in the footsteps of those brave souls who first ventured into the wilds of the Yukon looking for gold. Cliff and I will set out to survive the elements with period gear from 1885 in the very valley that the first gold discovery in the Yukon took place, the Fortymile region. For 7 days we will live like gold prospectors as we set out on an ambitious, and equally dangerous expedition.
I went to University thinking I would become an environmental lawyer but I left with a burning desire to tell stories that would inspire others like that National Geographic documentary inspired me when I was 9 years old. Now with the incredible support of HISTORY Canada, along with Proper Television in Toronto, and a great team of committed and talented people, it's time to tell another story that we will share with you towards the end of 2013 on HISTORY Canada.
See you in Hell,
P.S. There will be more information to follow in the coming weeks and months. Any help with spreading with the word is greatly appreciated.

P.S.S. I also wanted to give a special thanks for the Official Outfitter of 7 Days In Hell; Canadian Outdoor Equipment Co. Owner's and Tim and Chris have been supporting my expeditions for years. If you need any top notch outdoor gear I highly recommend checking out the store or visit online.

Hello all!
I think i have neglected my blog long enough...don't ya think? I started a new job yesterday!
I am now working in Bryan's school as an aide for the first grade team. So far-I love it! And it's only part time which is great since I still have household duties to do as well. And don't get me wrong--I am not one of those Moms that needs to be in the same building checking up on Bry all the time. It just so happened that they had an opening. The High School is bummed since they really wanted me to work there but they had no openings at all. I will miss the sweet sassy teens I got to know last year. I saw Bry today when he came in for lunch as we were walking out to the playground. To his horror-I tried to kiss him real quick on the cheek. He put out his arms as stiff as he could and backed into the wall--haha!! So i guess I won't try that anymore...LOL!
I have also been really busy with projects and here is one I hope will inspire. Sometimes it's nice to take a break from layouts and create projects instead. I created this one and took it to CHA for display.
It's a book purse! I took all of the pages from some boring book Pete had on the shelf that he never read and just used the cover. He'll never know it's gone and besides- I would never think of using one of my books. I lined it inside and out. I used Prima packaging as the sides and covered the seams with trim. The front is decorated with a felt branch, gallery roses, leaves and a bird. The I lightly sprayed the entire outside with Walnut Gold Glimmer Mist for an aged, sparkly look. I punched holes at the top and added ribbon as my handles.
I plan to use it to go out to dinner with the girls some night soon!

Disregard this. He will attack dead friendly stations but not live friendlies. My bad.relanat wrote:Also Volkov will now attack friendlies. He used to whine that "Helena wouldn't like that". But I haven't checked to see if this happens in vanilla 1.7a1a.
And I like the idea of only having a reactor and armor in rebuilt ships. It makes sense and this is what usually happens anyway because I don't have a reactor on hand big enough to power the weapons and shield I want to install.
One feature I would like is the ability to mark a shipwreck (stake a salvage claim so to speak) so that NPC ships won't scuttle it. I once had one trying to scuttle the wreck that I was jettisoning items into in order to rebuild. The only way to stop it was to get my other drones to kill it. NPCs are getting a bit annoying in their efficiency at keeping the systems clean. You may need to add some sort of attribute so that the wreck doesn't get looted and scuttled as it's rebuilding.
The CSC dock services idea is great. I was thinking of something like this but never even thought of using a CSC, well done.
You could have drones use fuel now and refuel from the CSC. Or something lke that (probably not before Apr 21 though ).
An idea I had was to have an item called 'Dock Services Module' which could be installed in bigger drone ships, either when rebuilding them (scratch that, can't get the module to the ship, it's too big) or at a shipyard. Anything from an EI7000 up could have these, Marauder raid platform, etc. Maybe based on cargo hold size (1000t and up or something but still need extra room for items that will be installed) and using 4 device slots. Haven't thought it through.

NEW YORK — For some hopeful parents, summertime is "tinkle time," as in setting toddlers free and diaperless outside while potty training. And like so many aspects of life with kids, potty training means gear, lots of gear.
Something happened on the road to bathroom independence. The choices in potty seats and chairs proliferated and sprouted all manner of bells and whistles.
Many convert like Transformers to serve multiple functions. One has a voice recorder to add a personal message (Go Jacob!). Others belt out happy tunes, have cubbies to stash wipes and books, sport their own toilet paper holders, simulate flushing, look like mini-urinals and are decked out as fancy thrones.
There's one with an iPad holder and another with handlebars that looks like a ride-on toy. Still more can be monogrammed, are round to appear as ladybugs and soccer balls, rock like rocking chairs and, for the design-minded, look like contemporary furniture. And there's no end to TV, movie and book tie-ins, from Sesame Street to Spongebob.
Basic molded-plastic potties remain popular, high backed or low, in an industry worth more than $50 million in 2011, according to the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association, a trade group of companies in the U.S., Canada and Mexico.
So who's it all for, parents or little doers trying to figure out Nos. 1 and 2? Whether you decide on "elimination communication," where infants go without diapers earlier than the norm, take a cold-turkey boot camp approach or have a late and reluctant bloomer on your hands, chances are a cheery potty seat is in your future.
"People talk about potty training more. Before it was something you just got through, you know. You just did it," said Angie Peterson, marketing director for Levels of Discovery, a company that puts out painted wood potty thrones — pink for girls and majestic blue for boys — for up to $83 a pop. They're bedecked with crowns and include a place to slide in a photo of your little one.
Grandparents are often the buyers of these thrones, she said, and the chairs match the company's bedroom furniture sets with royal themes. They come with matching wood seat covers that turn them into regular chairs when training is complete.
Sick of unsightly plastic, but not looking for ornate? The Potty Bench by Boon Inc. is sleek and curvy in minimalist color schemes of bright green or aqua against white.
"We wanted it to look cool. Take a look at the children's industry in the early 2000s and it was just all pastely and it had not had a facelift, ever. We wanted to bring cool style and design to parents," said Ryan Fernandez, co-founder of the company and father of four girls 12 and under.
Potty seats just keep on coming, said Narmin Parpia, whose RNK Innovations makes the ones akin to ride-on toys.
"Isn't it crazy? The idea is to keep the child amused while they're on there, just to keep them entertained while they sit and wait for things to happen. I think moms today are expecting it to be easy and it isn't always as easy as they think it is," she said.
Sales of her company's Riding Potty Chair increased last year by 5 to 10 percent over the year before, she said.
"But I think some of the seats would drive me crazy as a parent. Mostly the ones that play music when a sensor gets wet and you have to dry it off completely to make it stop," said Parpia, whose kids are now 18 and 21. "I think at some point, when it does too much, it becomes a toy and the child wants to play with it rather than use it."
Heidi Murkoff, who wrote the pregnancy bible "What to Expect When You're Expecting" that now anchors a franchise and website offering parenting advice, isn't a huge believer in busy potty chairs.
"Bells and whistles, and musical potty seats, are never necessary. Clearly babies have mastered potty proficiency for generations without them," she said. "They just make the process more fun. But the bottom line: what kind of seat you put that cute little bottom on matters far less than how ready your toddler is to start potty training."
There's not a one-size-fits-all approach to potty training gear, even within families, but some basic choices in seat type exist.
There's the standalone, which has to be dumped and cleaned, or an insert for the adult potty that makes the hole smaller and potentially less foreboding. Both have pros and cons, Murkoff said.
Make sure a seat for the big potty doesn't slide around too much or have pinch points, especially if it's a fold-up type intended for on-the-go use. Handles and a stepstool come in handy for extra security and push-power. Inserts sometimes have dials to adjust for fit.
If you choose a freestanding potty, make sure it's sturdy enough not to tip over or slosh too much, advises Whattoexpect.com. Consider crevices that will have to be cleaned.
Also consider a splash guard that fits in the front for boys. Prioritize features: Do you need one that doubles as a travel potty? Do you plan on restricting training to a small bathroom?
In any case, take your tot shopping with you for a potty to build excitement, Murkoff said.
Meg Atkinson in Minneapolis is a rare breed of parent. She got the job done with her 2.5-year-old daughter in two days without any type of special potty, beyond a travel version she keeps in her car. There have been a few accidents but nothing out of the ordinary for a new recruit.
"We went cold turkey," said Atkinson, who also has a 9-month-old. "We didn't want to deal with any kind of special seat. It was straight to the big potty and big girl undies. So far, so good."
Take a seat, tot: choices in potty seats abound
