CU: Home • A to Z • Campus Map
A new look at the diets of ancient African hominids shows a "game changer" occurred about 3.5 million years ago when some members added grasses or sedges to their menus, according to a new study led by the University of Colorado Boulder.
A chemical reaction between iron-containing minerals and water may produce enough hydrogen "food" to sustain microbial communities living in pores and cracks within the enormous volume of rock below the ocean floor and parts of the continents, according to a new study led by the University of Colorado Boulder.
University of Colorado Boulder faculty member Ivan Smalyukh is among 61 scientists to receive a 2013 Early Career Award from the U.S. Department of Energy.
Smalyukh, an assistant professor of physics and a founding fellow of the Renewable and Sustainable Energy Institute, or RASEI, has been awarded $750,000 over five years. RASEI is a joint venture between CU-Boulder and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.
Inside the natural history museums of the world are billions of animal and plant specimens from birds, fish and beetles to flowers, mushrooms and grasses, all stacked, stored and preserved in jars and collection drawers.
The rich and diverse collections could be critical to understanding how the Earth's biodiversity is changing in the face of a growing human footprint — if only the information were easily accessible.
Last July, something unprecedented in the 34-year satellite record happened: 98 percent of the Greenland Ice Sheet's surface melted, compared to roughly 50 percent during an average summer. Snow that usually stays frozen and dry turned wet with melt water. Research led by the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences now shows last summer's extreme melt could soon be the new normal.
By mimicking the bulging, bowl-shaped eyes possessed by dragonflies, praying mantises, houseflies and other insects, a team of researchers that includes a University of Colorado Boulder engineer has built an experimental digital camera that can take exceptionally wide-angle photos without distorting the image.
When praying mantises, dragonflies, ants and other insects peer out at the world, their bulging, compound eyes allow them to see an incredibly wide field of view with an almost infinite depth of field.
Imitating the functionality of an insect eye — which is really a collection of many tinier eyes, known as ommatidia — in a camera has been a long sought-after goal for engineers. Now, camera lenses with wide fields of view, such as fisheye lenses, create distortion around the edges of the image.
Three University of Colorado professors have been chosen as 2013 President's Teaching Scholars, educators who have skillfully integrated teaching and research at a high level throughout their careers at CU.
The title of CU President's Teaching Scholar signifies the university system's highest recognition of excellence in and commitment to learning and teaching, as well as active, substantial contributions to scholarly work. CU President Bruce D. Benson solicits annual nominations of faculty for the designation, which is a lifetime appointment.
Every gift matters, no matter the size.

How to install Cinnamon on Fedora 16
Cinnamon is a very recent addition to the list of desktop environments available for Linux, BSD and other UNIX-like operating systems. It was started by Clement Lefebvre and his crew at Linux Mint and it is an attempt to make the GNOME 3 desktop more user-friendly.
If you are not happy with GNOME 3, and are using Fedora 16, that is, the main edition, which uses the GNOME 3 desktop environment, you will find Cinnamon a lot more fun to use. This short tutorial gives the steps on how to install and use it.
Note: This tutorial helps you install Cinnamon 1.1.3. The latest version is Cinnamon 1.3.1. Use how to install Cinnamon 1.3.1 in Fedora 16 to install it.
Installing Cinnamon entails adding the Cinnamon repository to the system. There are two methods of getting that done. The simplest is to run the following command (first su to root): curl http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/leigh123linux/cinnamon/fedora-cinnamon.repo -o /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-cinnamon.repo. Then install the cinnamon package by typing (also as root): yum install cinnamon.
Though it accomplishes the same thing, the second method is a little bit more involved: Copy the contents of this page to a file and name the file cinnamon-fedora.repo. Here is what the file should look like after you have copied the contents of that page. Save the file. As root, copy or move it from where you saved it to /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory with the following command: cp cinnamon-fedora.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/. The /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory is where repository files (.repo files) are located. On a new installation, there should three other .repo files in that directory.
After the cinnamon package has been installed, log out and before logging back in, select CINNAMON from the session menu.
Once logged in, you will see a desktop just like the one shown in this screen shot. Looks more like what we expect a desktop to be, does it not? The menu style is similar to mintMenu of Linux Mint. No surprise there because Cinnamon is a Linux Mint project. Right-clicking on a menu item reveals options to add it to the panel, desktop or the menu's Favorites column.
And by right-clicking on an item in the Favorites column, you also get the option to add it to the desktop, panel or remove it from the Favorites column.
Right-clicking on an item in the panel gives you another set of options. Note that to add an item to the panel, you must right-click on an existing icon on it, not on an empty space on the panel itself.
The desktop showing the calendar applet.
Cinnamon still has the Activities view, soomething that is no longer needed on a desktop environment with a panel and workspaces. You may read an earlier article on Cinnamon at What does Cinnamon bring to the desktop?.

After I install the repo via:
"curl http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/leigh123linux/cinnamon/fedora-cinnamon.repo -o /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-cinnamon.repo",
I try to "yum install cinnamon", but I get:
"No package cinnamon available.
Error: Nothing to do"
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks for the informative write up on this high potential project.

In his letter, Claudio Gino reports that his multilingual daughters had no speaking problems, but he said he knows of three children who had learning problems that stopped when their parents concentrated on one language only (9 June, p 33).
Learning problems occur among both monolingual and multilingual children, and there is no evidence that they are more common in bilingual children.

Northern Seoul Dream forest, Seoul's fourth largest park, was renovated and reopened in October, 2009. There is a wide variety of terrain here, including natural relatively untouched forested areas, grassy expanses, waterfalls, eco-park, an animal habitat, and a recently planted bamboo forest. It's less crowded than Seoul's other parks — perhaps, because it's quite a way off the beaten path — making the overall experience more relaxing.
Getting there: Take Line 4 to the Mia Samgeori station and head out through Exit 1. Look for a bus stop nearby and jump on Bus 9 or 11. These buses will drop you of across the street from the main gate.

I have been itching for the opportunity to create an infographic illustration for awhile as I've been regularly impressed and inspired by artwork adopting this particular style of data representation.
Infographics visually interpret factual information, such as statistics, comparisons or results, in a way that the reader can quickly engage with and understand. Designing an infographic requires deep interaction with the data and thinking outside the box to find a creative, meaningful way to deliver the information to the reader.
I created the following two infographics for Janaagraha's I Paid a Bribe blog. They were a lot of fun to create, not to mention an interesting subject matter!

Feel Empowered...Become Ready to Be Inspired!
Welcome, today I'd like to share a segment of a journey of a thousand miles. A journey that has so far taught that greatness is within, and not only within ourselves but within those that surround us. When I first decided to go back to school to earn my Master's in Sport and Physical Education, I never realized that the most rewarding transformation would be the opportunity to experience other's reaching their personal excellence.
This truly came unexpectedly. As a partial requirement for my degree, I had to complete 150 internship hours related to the area of sport and physical education. My original view was that these internship hours offered the chance to scope out future career ventures, see what I liked or didn't like. It was more or less, a testing of the waters without the obligation of being an employee or the benefit of receiving a paycheck. All in all, it was a check mark off a to do list.
The first 80 hours were completed by enrolling as a participant at a premier health and wellness facility called Fitness Ridge, which is a Biggest Loser Resort. The goal was to experience first hand what it would be like to accomplish a physical transformation towards a life-changing event. I came in knowing that my fitness level was moderate. I knew that the trainers job included pushing each participant past their limit in order to help them see what they were capable of, and though the thought made me a little anxious, it also was intriguing.
With 24 hours under my belt, I quickly realized that my goals merely represented a small part of a much bigger picture. That, in order to make this transformation, I had to realize that each person here had came to change their life. For many, it was a chance to correct a path of choices that were leading to the dramatic difference between life or death, or quality of life or imprisonment. For others, it was a retreat, a way to relax and find oneself. Suddenly, a signed piece of paper saying I was here, didn't seem so important.
It was through these individuals triumphs, their sweat, their tears, and their stories that my heart swelled with appreciation, compassion, and love. No matter how different we seemed from one another, I suddenly realized that the people sharing in this experience were all amazing. And, the best part was, I was able to take part with them in realizing this.
I witnessed the human spirit encouraging the body to transform. I witnessed the agony of pushing past defeat. I witnessed that no matter how much I thought I knew and understood, there is a constant chance to learn and grow from each experience and each individual story.
For me, I found that greatness is not something that you are either born with or without. Greatness is alive in every one of us. And I truly mean every one of us! It really comes down to how committed are you to find it. How willing are you to make small changes that lead to amazing feats. Remember, a setback is only a set-back, if you stay there.
It's truly amazing knowing that as we continue further down our path, there may come a time when doubt arises, yet that is when we will realize that we have came too far to walk back. In that moment, we will find comfort in knowing that no matter how different we all may be, others will be there to help push and carry us to the next leg of the journey. That is when we will realize that this journey of a thousand miles is reached through the combined efforts of various sized footprints. All different. Yet, all with something in common, the search for greatness.
After all, whats a journey if there is no one there to share it with!
This next leg of the journey has been a blast.
The Biggest Loser sparked a crazy bone within and shifted my goals to focus on the obesity epidemic that our nation's youth are facing.
Through the use of this blog and volunteer work, I hope to reach out to individuals and share the importance of keeping kids active.
Some of the activities that we have done as a family to help promote the awareness of healthy lifestyles (which are written and posted throughout the blog) are:
Being volunteers at kids sport and charity events
Participating as a family in weekend triathlons
Teaching and coaching youth sport
Racing and volunteering at the Spartan Challenge - an obstacle course endurance race
Some of the outdoor recreational activities that we have shared in to reach the goal of staying active for 60 minutes a day include: Repelling, Spelunking, Hiking, Biking, Swimming, and playing various sports.
They say...that for kids exercise is fun
So why does it have to change when we become adults
I say...let the good times role

Golden Circles
Campus is quiet today. Campers will not arrive for the opening of Treetops for another 48 hours or so, and most counselors are enjoying a well earned day off—for many, the first in nearly two weeks of intensive training and preparation.
A few days ago, I met with the Treetops staff, as I do every year, as part of their orientation. I introduced a concept called the Golden Circles, developed by Simon Sinek, an expert on organizational change and leadership. Sinek suggests that most institutions spend the vast majority of their time, energy, and resources focused on the what and the how of operations—and subsequently get bogged down in the attendant details. What's more inspiring and productive—but seldom a topic of consideration or discussion—is the why. So I asked Treetops counselors to ponder three "why" questions relevant to their summer. Of most interest to me was the third: Why are you here?
Each one who volunteered a response drew murmurs of accord from others around the room; answers expressed clearly resonated with those present. The general consensus is that our counselors come to Treetops to spend a summer outdoors, in a spectacularly beautiful place, in nature's front row. Counselors come to Treetops because they treasure the close community here among children and adults. Veteran counselors come because their peers share their values and help raise their own children accordingly. Younger counselors come because their more experienced counterparts help them grow into the adults they want to be. Counselors of all ages come because here they can relax and be themselves.
Not coincidentally, these also seem to be the reasons why our campers come to Treetops. We're looking forward to another great summer, our 94th.
P.S. I highly recommend as a "must see" a terrific new TED Talk by one of my favorites, Sir Ken Robinson: How to Escape Education's Death Valley.

nice work
thanks buddy! right back atchya!
Welcome to forest and nice work GLWS
Thanks pal!
Nice theme!
Thank you buddy
Could you tell me what's the best size ( height / widht ) for the background into the header, please ?
In the same time. It's possible to include a plugin named "Mapify.it ( a google map with multiple pinpoints )" into this header instead of the background pictures ?
Thank you for your time, David
Hi there
Thanks for getting in touch
The header bg should be an aspect ratio based on 1666×800 – however any image can be used
I have taken a look at mapify and it seems totally feasible but would require a few tweaks to to the header – i couldnt see if it used a shortcode however so im unsure exactly in how to best implement it.
If there is any thing else please do let me know
Kindest Regards, Thank you for choosing our theme
Thank you.
Yes, there is a shortcode for the map ( [custom-mapping width="100%"] ). Perhaps it's possible to add a shortcode in the future instead a background picture. That's nothing, I'll place the map into a home section. Next little problem …
But, could you tell me where I can change the position of the "home section" ? For example, the contact form at the bottom, a new section at the top, etc. I don't understand what's the purpose of the plugin named "intuitive-custom-post-order" . Into the interface, there is nothing to change instead some checkboxes.
Thank you for your help, David
The plugin "intuitive-custom-post-order" allows you to simply drag the section into whatever order you wish
Iv created a little video to show you how simple it is to use.http://www.screenr.com/YnhH
I hope this is clear
Thanks, Danny
Alright … More it's easy, unless it's visible.
Thank you for the video and your explanations, David
Its my pleasure David, im always happy to help where I can.
Ill tweak the documentation as it seems further explanation of the theme is needed
Thanks for getting in touch
Hi, again me.
Could you tell me where is the PHP or javascript who make the header background ? The transition between pictures. Actualy, it don't work correctly. The first picture take all the size of the screen, but next pictures are not displayed correctly. Pictures of 1920×400px.
If you need more details, I sent you a mail via ThemeForest yesterday.
Thnak you for your help, David
Hi there
Ill respond via email
Thanks, Danny
I think the problem comes from "jquery.vegas.js"
The size of the screen is miscalculated.
I have this :
Thank you for your help ( yesterday mail with : booxtx )
img class="vegas-background" style="position: fixed; left: -751.2px; top: 0px; display: block; width: 3422.4px; height: 713px; bottom: auto; right: auto;" src="http://exemple/bg-1.jpg" /img
I have sent a reply via email, can we please continue this conversation via email OR via this comments area, not both as it makes it rather difficult to keep up
Thanks, Danny
For clarity for anyone reading this, the slider is a full screen background slider, as can be seen in the demo, and does not apply to just one div.
Pictures with a very small height will certainly distort as they the background slider attempts to stretch it to fill the screen so if in doubt always use images with a reasonable aspect ratio, for example 800×600 or 1024×768. 1600×400 will almost certainly result in weirdness
Thanks, Danny
Yes, thank you. The solution was into the original theme. I'm looking for trouble when it's not necessary.
Thank you for your time and your help !
hi, it's possible to make image as a link. and why you have empty space on the right in your portfolio demo ? what its mean. Thank You.
Hi there
Thanks for your question.
I assume you mean when you hover over an image you would like it to link to the post rather than the lightbox?
If so, with a small edit you certainly could do that
Its actually a nice idea too so will certainly add this in the next update.
Regarding the white space – im not sure what you mean? The portfolio should have four columns, are you saying when you view the demo you see 3colums?
here a screenshot iv just taken of the demo – http://awesomescreenshot.com/0aa1kg5v38 – do you see it differently? If so ill look in to this right away, but iv not had any reports of it before which is weird
Look forward to hearing from you
Check your email please!
Iv had nothing yet, but then again bluehost appear to be having issues so will keep checking
Thanks, Danny
give me your email or support forum.
here you pal
distinctivethemes AT gmail.com
yes. please check. thank you.
replied – will continue conversation via email
Hi there,
I would like to ask would it be easy to customize the contact form such as adding more fields, drop down option and checkboxes?
Looking forward to hear from you.
Thanks a bunch.
Hi there im afraid not – however a plugin such as Contact Form 7 offers this kind of function

Luis Suarez has been included in Uruguay's final 23-man squad for the FIFA World Cup™ as he continues his recovery from a knee operation.
The in-form Liverpool striker underwent keyhole surgery on 22 May after damaging the meniscus in his left knee and immediately doubts were cast on whether he would be fit for the World Cup. However, Uruguay remain cautiously optimistic that Suarez, who is said to be progressing well following the operation, will be able to feature in Brazil and on Saturday the 27-year-old was confirmed in coach Oscar Tabarez's squad for the finals.
It remains to be seen when Suarez will be able to return to action, though, with Uruguay kicking off their World Cup campaign against Costa Rica in just over two weeks. England and Italy are the other two teams in a tough-looking Group D.
The two players who have been cut from Tabarez's 25-man provisional squad are Palmeiras midfielder Sebastian Eguren and Lanus defender Alejandro Silva.
Uruguay squad
Goalkeepers: Fernando Muslera (Galatasaray/TUR), Martín Silva (Vasco Da Gama/BRA), Rodrigo Munoz (Libertad/PAR)
Defenders: Diego Lugano (West Bromwich Albion/ENG), Diego Godin (Atletico Madrid/ESP), Jose Maria Gimenez (Atletico Madrid/ESP), Martin Caceres (Juventus/ITA), Maximiliano Pereira (Benfica/POR), Jorge Fucile (Porto/POR), Sebastian Coates (Nacional/URU).
Midfielders: Egidio Arevalo Rios (Morelia/MEX), Walter Gargano (Parma/ITA), Diego Perez (Bologna/ITA), Alvaro Gonzalez (Lazio/ITA), Alvaro Pereira (San Pablo/BRA), Cristian Rodríguez (Atletico Madrid/ESP), Gaston Ramirez (Southampton/ENG), Nicolas Lodeiro (Botafogo/BRA)
Forwards: Luis Suarez (Liverpool/ENG), Edinson Cavani (Paris Saint-Germain/FRA), Diego Forlan (Cerezo Osaka/JPN), Cristian Stuani (Espanyol/ESP, Abel Hernandez (Palermo/ITA)
* Squad lists are only official once they have been confirmed and published by FIFA on 5 June at 12:00 CET.

Hot Desking – is it a good way to work?
What is Hot Desking
Hot desking is a method of working whereby the employee works in a temporary work station on an as-needed basis. Essentially one workstation is shared between people who use it at different times. The trend for hot desking began in the early 1990s, and one of the motivations behind its use was cost-reduction.
The term is thought to have originated from the term hot racking – which in naval language denotes the system by which sailors share bunks by sleeping in shifts.
There are two key benefits:
- Space – By maximising the amount of people who use the same work stations, offices can reduce their size by up to 30% sometimes. This is because they will need less desk room, one of the most space consuming aspects of modern offices. This not only has a big impact on the bottom line, it can also go a long way towards making offices more environmentally friendly.
- Employee Autonomy – Hot desking can allow employees to be dynamic, enabling them to work more efficiently and with more confidence. This is because they have the flexibility to work where they need to, when they need to.
- Co-working – Hot desking also encourages employees to be more active in the way they work, something which can often increase interaction between various people in an institution. By doing so it can allow employees to interact with a greater variety of colleagues.
Viable Solution?
One would be hard pressed to deny the benefits of hot desking where employees are on the move and need the occasional place to work. But I'm interested to get your views on hot desking as a permanent work place solution beyond the mobile professional who rarely needs a set place to work. Some companies like Microsoft and IBM have adopted this form of working in the past, but is it really a viable long term solution?
THECUBE was opened in 2009 in the Shoreditch area of London, it offers a variety of co-working capabilities along with standard virtual offices, meeting rooms and desk space. But according to THECUBE they are "a fresh and modern designed space that offers its members more than just an office or hot desking".
The co-working space is all open plan, something specifically done to encourage collaboration and networking between members. Again, according to THECUBE great care was taken to included colours which have been shown to release serotonin, a chemical which helps increase concentration and calms one down.
Business Boost Campaign – up to 50% off!
eOffice today launched the Business Boost Campaign for start-ups and entrepreneurs, offices space, hot desking, coWorking, virtual office and meeting room space in Soho, London up to 50% off until dec 2010:

The following is an archive of a post made to our
'vox-tech mailing list'
by one of its subscribers.
ok, not a panacea, but pretty cool nevertheless...
i was doing some reading and found a function alloca() which allocates
dynamic memory like malloc() and friends, but it gets memory from the
current stack frame instead of the heap.
the obvious advantage is that the memory is deallocated once the stack
frame is popped. in other words, when the function returns, all memory
allocated by alloca is freed. this means no memory leaks. very cool.
however, in the man page, under BUGS, it says:
The alloca function is machine dependent.
this doesn't say anything to me. what does it mean for a function to be
machine dependent? does it behave differently across different
machine architectures? does code compiled on one x86 machine not run on
another x86 machine?
what exactly is the man page warning me about?

Baptism Q & A with Jackson – Sacraments
This past weekend Jackson taught on the importance of baptism, why it is scriptural, and answered some of your other questions that have been asked regarding baptism. In an effort to answer as many questions as possible in a way that is easy for you to share with friends, family members, or others who are questioning, we wanted to answer some questions here on the blog.
I have heard that Baptism is a sacrament. What is a sacrament?
The word sacrament like the word 'Trinity' is an extra-biblical term. It entered theology by means of the Latin Vulgate, where it is customarily used to render the Greek word mysterion. It designates those ordinances (practices) to which the Lord himself gave special significance.
Catholic, Anglican & Episcopal Churches have 7 sacraments:
- Baptism
- Eucharist (communion)
- Reconciliation or Penance
- Confirmation
- Marriage
- Ordination
- Anointing of sick (formerly called Last Rites)
We have 2 sacraments:
- Baptism
- Communion
To hear Jackson's entire sermon on baptism, and have more of your questions answered visit our website.
Also, if you are ready to go public with your faith, a baptism class is your first step. Click here to learn more.

AFDC: Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) was a program jointly financed by the federal and state government to provide cash assistance to needy families with children. The program ran from 1935 to 1995, and replaced by TANF in 1996.
ARRA: The American Recovery & Reinvestment Act (ARRA) was legislated in 2009 to provide emergency support during the 2008-09 recession.
See the results of NETWORK's study on Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), and reflect on the lives of families in poverty during the recession. Read more
Network, the Catholic social justice lobby in Washington, has been monitoring the effectiveness of the so-called "welfare-to-work" laws since Bill Clinton made welfare reform a keystone of his presidency in 1996. Network recently released its latest evaluation and found that in today's economic climate, the programs are severely lacking. Read more

The results from NETWORK's 2010 survey project emphasized the prevalence of families headed by single parents, mainly women, who experience economic hardship. These findings from our sample correlate with the greater U.S. population, as it is estimated that over 24 million children live in households without their biological fathers (U.S. Census Bureau). This translates to one in three children in America.
Child care subsidies have been critical for families who receive TANF benefits, especially as they transition off of TANF and into employment. With the emphasis on Welfare-to-work under the changes in legislation in 1996, families need the support of child care in order to ensure that their children are being looked after while working. Subsidies also boost opportunities for families to seek child care programs that they believe are safe and provide educational opportunities for their children.

New startup Q Designs seeks to help solve a problem that many people have: we sometimes need to power our mobile electronic devices, but we don't want to carry external battery packs or bulky charging cases. Q Designs' solution, the QBracelet, looks like an ordinary bracelet, but it is actually a high-tech charger that can juice up your electronic device discreetly.
The QBracelet will work with iOS and Android devices at launch. No cord is needed, since inside the bracelet's clasp there is a lightning adapter for Apple products and a micro-USB port for Android devices.
The QBracelet has a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery that will recharge most smart phones up to about 60%. Depending on the battery level of the phone it can take up to 60 minutes to fully recharge your device. The battery has a standby life of 30 days. Recharging the bracelet takes about 90 minutes with LEDs located above the connector to indicate the current charge level.
The QBracelet has the fashionable look and feel of a jewelry piece before anything else – even if it didn't charge your phone, it stands as a fashion accessory based on its style and design alone. We conceptualized the QBracelet based on the idea that every useful object should also be a beautiful object, and we believe that merging technology with fashion in smart ways will push the fashion industry forward. — Q Designs co-founder and COO Alessandro Libani
The bracelet's exterior is made out of high-grade aluminum with an interior of polycarbonate plastic. This makes the bracelet very lightweight and durable. The bracelet is designed for men and women and comes in several finishes: brushed and matte black, polished and matte silver, and polished gold. It comes in three sizes small, medium and large.
The QBracelet provides a very sexy solution to a truly ubiquitous problem. Every smartphone owner worries about battery loss, and we endeavored to create a product that simply takes that worry away, effortlessly and with style. In our research, we found existing external battery solutions to be clunky, unappealing and frustrating to use, and so we set out to build a simple, beautiful alternative. — Q Designs co-founder and CEO James Kernan
Today the QBracelet is available for pre-order for $79. It will retail for $99 once it launches. Pre-orders will ship in time for the winter holidays.

Hmmm… Not Sure about this one
This thing looks awful! It's chunky and not that attractive. It looks like a handcuff. They could have at least made it tell the time. I don't like bulky cases, but I would use a Mophie over this any day.
If the bracelet changed from your movement like kinetic watches then this might be worth it, but if the bracelet only will keep its charge for 30 days it's self the likelihood of it being dead that one time you need use it would be pretty high, kinetic energy may actually not ever be enough to power a full smart watch, but to give you a little power to make a call would be useful.
why didn't they make it wireless charging. now that would have been awesome….
oh yea cause iphones don't do wireless charging. but my note3 does.

Placing armed police or security guards in schools in foolhardy and leaves the Board of Education and town open to HUGE lawsuits if a shooting does occur. Also, police give students and parents a FALSE sense of security.
No one could have prevented or stopped the Sandy Hook incident, except Mrs. Lanza, who unfortunately was the "enabler." And I wonder where was the father?
A mentally sick person with a gun will only find armed police even more of a challenge. Police are not a deterrent to a sick person! As a substitute teacher, I've walked the long halls of Marlboro High School many times. There are a least six outside doors and hundreds of ground floor classrooms. One or even two police cannot be at every entrance everyminute of the day.
The layout of every school, with multiple doors and hundreds of ground floor windows, presents too many "entry" points. Multiple entry points would have to be manned by multiple police-- if the supposed theory of security is listened to.
However, having armed guards in schools:
** can lead to huge lawsuits if a killer kills or injures anyone either inside the school or on the grounds. After all, the Board of Education and town officials have promised that the schools are fully secure. This is nonsense as no building is completely secure.
** gives students and parents a false sense of security. Actually, the first to be killed would be the guard.
** increase taxes for already strapped homeowners WITHOUT fulfilling total security.
Part of the solution is to change gun laws and ban assault rifles and multiple clip bullet holders. Also to have a checking up and waiting period for ALL gun sales, including those at shows and by private individuals.
Everyone one should be writing and calling their Congressmen and Senators to stop politicking and protect their people.
The other part is to increase mental health services so families who know a member is off balance can get appropriate help. And families should feel able to contact authorities, whether in the school or township.

Consumer advocate Edgar Dworsky found something peculiar on Sears' website during his Black Friday online shopping experience. After placing a refrigerator in his cart, he noticed that a five-year service contract had been added to the purchase without his consent—which required him to opt-out of the contract he never asked for in the first place, according to an MSN report. After bringing it to the attention of Sears execs, the company agreed to change the way the site operates.
Dworsky added that the service plan charge is easily removed if the customer spots it before clicking the "purchase" button. "How many shoppers have in their mind, 'Oh, I'd better check the cart just to make sure they haven't slipped something in there that I didn't order?' ," Dworsky asked.

returning to old school
I'm wondering whats the general attitude among BJJ instrucors and schools on old students returning. I used to train at a school near where I lived and had to stop because my source of money (work) had ended. I left on good terms ie: I told them I was leaving. I've been gone about 18 months now focusing just on school and maintaing a crappy job. I'm finaly in a position to get back into training. I'm curious as how one would be recieved returning after a long absence. I had been training at different school recently but the monthly price is to much and this school would be about half the price.

I have students dropping in for class, even though I haven't seen them in months. Hell, recently I had a former student drop by to visit even though he hasn't trained with me in at least 10 years.
If you weren't an ass, and there's people there who remember you, then I don't imagine any problems.

press release
The IFP has called on the toughening of legislation so that it will be compulsory to lock away any driver or pedestrian who abuses alcohol.
This the party said in a statement it issued today in reaction to yesterday's statement by the national Minister of Transport, Mr Ben Martin. In his statement, Martin said that according to the Medical Research Council's National Mortality Injury Survey, "between 60% and 75% of all road fatalities, especially at weekends, were a consequence of alcohol abuse by motorists."
IFP Deputy National Spokesperson, Joshua Mazibuko said: "alcohol abuse by motorists and pedestrians alike is a curse that should be faced with the gloves off. If as a country we are seriously committed to making our roads safe for law-abiding citizens, then we must ruthlessly stamp out alcohol abuse.
"Every driver or pedestrian who is found to have abused alcohol must, without exception and without any waste of time, end up behind bars.
If this calls for revisiting the relevant legislation, so be it. We can no longer allow law-abiding citizens to be terrorized by heartless people who abuse alcohol without compunction. In fact the same fate must befall excessive speedsters and reckless drivers."

Locals are very proud of Ocean Park, and rightly so. With so many attractions visitors are hard pressed to choose their favorite. Older children might like white-knuckle rides like the Abyss Turbo Drop and the Eagle; the former hurtles riders towards the ground in a free fall that descends 185 feet (the equivalent of falling from the top of a 20 story building), while the latter spins them around at gravity defying speeds 77 feet above ground. Younger children are better catered to in Whiskers Harbour, where the rides geared towards them include a merry go round and sideshow games, such as basketball, that have been scaled down. In Marine Land visitors thrill at the myriad sharks swimming past in the Atoll Reef. Two of Ocean Park's newest residents, the giant pandas LeLe and YingYing, will enthrall every member of the family. (-) Close

The Summer Olympics returned to the United States for first time since the '1994 Games in Los Angeles and just the second time in the last 64 years. A reocrd 197 nations competed and over 11,000 athletes represented the United States.
However, the 16th Summer Olympiad will best be remembered for what happened outside of the events. The city of Atlanta and the rest of the Olympic community were rocked in the early hours of July 27th. An apparent pipe bomb exploded at Centennial Olympic Park, killing one woman and injuring 111. The pipe bomb was filled with screws and nails.
"The spirit of the Olympic movement mandates that we continue," said Billy Payne, president of the Atlanta Committee for the Olympic Games. President Bill Clinton concurred. "We cannot let terror win."
The Games went on and in grand fashion.
It was the best kept secret in town, as to who would be the final torch bearer to light the Olympic flame. Muhammad Ali, arguably one of the world's best-known athletes, appeared at the top of structure, took the torch from another great US Olympian, Janet Evans, and ignited the flame to begin the Games.
The United States won the most medals with 101, including 44 gold. Track and Field sensation Michael Johnson backed up his talk of a 200-400 double with gold medal performances. Carl Lewis added to his personal glory with a gold medal in the long jump. It was Lewis' 9th career gold medal. In a bit of stunner, the American men lost in the 4x100 relay to Canada. The USA Women's squad collected both gold medals in their relay event.
Team Competition produced many great performances. Gold Medals went to the Men's Basketball squad, whiile the women picked up gold in basketball, softball, and soccer. Cuba won Olympic Gold in Baseball, but the Americans turned in a gutsy tournament and finished with the respectable Bronze Medal. Nigeria was the upset winner in Men's Soccer, with the heavily-favored Brazil taking home the Bronze Medal.
Individually, American Swimmers Amy Van Dyken took home four golds, while Josh Davis was a perfect 3-for-3 in his races. On the international side, Russian Gymnast Alexei Nemov was the big winner with six medals (2-1-3). Canadian Donovan Bailey took home the title as the World's Fastest Human in a record time of 9.84 seconds.
Hometown favorite Cathy Freeman, a native Australian and a proud Aborigine, brought the Stadium crowd to its feet with a second-place finish in the 400 meters.

Mobile device management or MDM was a hot topic a year or two ago, but IT pros are beginning to recognize there's more to mobile security than the device.
You need basic device-level control like password resetting, VPN support, and perhaps even remote wiping capability, but that is only part of the mobile security equation -- and as employees increasingly bring their own devices, they don't necessarily want IT having that much control over their phones.
Perhaps that's why, last week when I was hosting a Twitter chat on mobile security, an interesting point came up about MDM. Brian Katz, who is a frequent contributor to these chats and head of mobility engineering at Sanofi, came straight out and said MDM as a product is dead and it's become just a feature set -- part of a broader mobile security strategy.
Tim Crawford, a former CIO who advises CIOs for Avoa, agreed, saying we needed to get beyond the device. The security paradigm has to start with the data.
Walter Paley, who is marketing manager at Bitzer Mobile, makers of a secure workspace for mobile devices, says that device management is part of an overall security approach now, and suggests we look at the mobile security issue more comprehensively. To him, enterprise mobile management (EMM) starts with the data and works its way up to apps and finally the device.
In this context the device is the least important. As a phone owner, you probably want to be able to track your phone if you lose it or somebody steals it. You also want to be able to be able to prevent people from accessing any content stored on the phone, but what you probably don't want is IT wiping your device and all your personal content in the name of enterprise security --Ah, excuse me, but you just wiped out my vacation pictures from last summer.
But users are accessing work content on that phone. So how do companies secure that content and ensure that outsiders can't gain entry to the work-related content on your phone?
That would mean securing the apps themselves and you can see that would involve a comprehensive strategy that moves beyond the device.
Let's look briefly at the components of a mobile security strategy in order of importance.
Data Security
There seems to be near universal acceptance now that the device is the least important part of the equation. What you want to make sure is that your data is secure at the back end. If you do that, it doesn't matter what device a user has: It could be a tablet, smartphone, wearable, or something we haven't considered yet. If you secure your enterprise data, you are protecting the most important piece of the equation from the enterprise perspective.
Traditional MDM vendors like AirWatch are working on this problem. AirWatch encrypts the data on the way to the app. You can only unencrypt the data inside the app by providing proper credentials in the form of a user name and password.
Another angle is relying on the companies who provide cloud-based data storage and sharing to encrypt and protect the data stored in those services. For instance, Box encrypts the data in transit and at rest using SSL encryption on transit and 256-bit AES encryption at rest, while cloud storage vendor Copy.com provides 256-bit AES encryption at rest and in motion. Some providers, like Watchdox, go even farther, wrapping files in encryption that travels with the file regardless of where it ends up -- even if it's taken outside the cloud service. The right solution depends on how you want to balance usability versus data protection.
App Security
The next layer to protect is the app itself. This involves building a container around the app, so that IT can update the app or remove it. In this scenario, if the phone is lost or stolen, or you leave the company with your BYOD phone, your company can simply unplug you from the enterprise by deleting the app or shutting down your access to it.
A lot of MDM vendors have evolved to support app-level security, including Apperian and Good Technology.
Another approach with this is containerizing the entire enterprise experience, so all your work apps are in a separate area from your personal one. This the approach BlackBerry has taken with BlackBerry 10 and Samsung has taken with Samsung KNOX. This can cause its own set of usability problems, however, negating the benefits of BYOD in the first place -- if users can't design their own workflows and select the apps that are best for them, they're not going to get as much benefit out of working mobile.
Device Security
This is how we've traditionally thought of mobile security. Of course, you should protect access to the phone by requiring a password, and biometrics such as the fingerprint reader on the new iPhone 5S can add additional security. The idea is to limit access to the device as much as possible, and to give IT traditional back-end control over it, up to and including remote wipe.
Nearly every MDM vendor offers at least device-level control. A lot of companies also use Microsoft's Exchange ActiveSync technology, which is supported by most mobile platforms, and lets IT departments control devices through policies set on Microsoft Exchange or Google Apps.
In a BYOD age, this kind of control is becoming less attractive to phone owners because they have their personal content on the device along side the enterprise content, and they don't want IT having access to it. In addition, the device is the weakest link here anyway. If you can control access to the data and apps, securing the device becomes less crucial.
The important thing to remember is that security doesn't start at the hardware. It actually ends there and it's more important to secure the data and the apps than it is to secure the device itself. This may seem counterintuitive to IT pros used to a device-first approach, but in the end this means you can protect your enterprise assets regardless of the device and that's the goal here.

IOWA CITY, Iowa – Riley Dixon gingerly jogged out of Iowa City Regina High School before his team's game against Sigourney-Keota Friday night. The wet asphalt combined with his spikes made for treacherous trek from the locker room to the field for the Regina running back.
Fans called out to the junior, "Don't slip, you've got a game to play," as he tip toed his way to the field. He reached the field without encountering a problem and it might have been his most difficult run of the night.
Regina ran over Sigourney-Keota 49-7 to cap off the season 9-0 and improve its win streak to 37 games overall.
"Each Friday is unique, and now we got to Wednesdays and Mondays and you just try to cherish the day," Regina head coach Marv Cook said. "The great thing about this group of guys is we've told them from day one, if you want to be great, you don't become great the 69th or 83rd days. You become great today."
After making to the field, Regina was just that. They broke out with three touchdowns in their first three drives. All three possessions began in S-K territory. Three of the four Regina scoring drives took just five plays to find the endzone.
The only scare of the game came in the second quarter after the Savage Cobras cut their deficit to 21-7. Sigourney-Keota then stopped Regina on four downs, but its ensuing drive stalled at the Regals 16 yard line.
Sixty-two seconds later it was 28-7, a scoring drive ignited by a 34 yard Dix run. It was capped off by a Mark Ward 26 yard touchdown pass to Matt Streb.
"Our defense came in and shut the door, that was huge for us," Cook said. "And then to get points firth before the half, that as big."
The 21 point halftime cushion sparked a 21-0 third quarter. But the third didn't start off as planned. Dixon fumble the opening kick and Sigourney-Keota took advantage.
It drove the ball deep into Regina's end. Facing first and goal from the ICR 3, a bad snap pushed the Cobras to the 17. Two plays later the Regals' Matt Streb picked off a pass. On the first offensive play of the following drive, Ward fired a 97 yard touchdown pass from Mark to Mike Donovan.
The wheels continued to fall off the Cobras' wagon. They fumbled on the ensuing S-K drive, Ben Osterhaus scopped up a fumble and made it 42-7.
In less than 30 seconds of game time, what looked to be an eminent 14 point game, turned into a 35 point blowout with a running clock.
"Sigourgney-Keota did some great things, I tip my hat off to their staff and kids," Cook said. "I thought they were very, very effective. It challenged us. Fortunately for us we were able to stop that first drive after the turnover and get the scoop and score, which was huge."
The fumbled recovery was one of four plays of 25 yards or more on the game for the Regals. In all Regina had eight plays that went for at least ten yards.
On the other side of the ball, the Savage Cobras didn't muster much offense after the interception in the redzone, with just 22 total yards.
"We've got some athletes," Cook said. "And we want them to make plays."

The official condemned as "reckless" the missile launches, which US officials called an escalation of the 21-month-old Syrian civil war when their use wasfirst spotted last month.
"The use of such indiscriminate weapons shows utter disregard for the lives of the Syrian people," he said.
The official said Nato had detected the launch of an unguided short-range ballistic missile following similar launches on January 2 and 3.
All the missiles have been fired from inside Syria and landed in northern Syria, he said.
The description of the missiles fits the Scuds in the Syrian military's armoury.
The Nato official was responding to a report from a Syrian opposition activist living near the Qaldoun army base, 30 miles north of Dam- ascus, who said four rockets were fired from the base.

Sri Lanka clinched a place in the ICC World Twenty20 semi-finals with a thrilling five-wicket victory over India in St Lucia.
Chamara Kapugedera's sensational six off the last ball made sure inaugural winners India were knocked out of the competition.
Chasing 164 for victory and requiring three off the last ball, Kapugedera (37 not out off 16 balls) dispatched Ashish Nehra over extra cover to clinch victory.
A place in the last four was then secured for Kumar Sangakkara's men when West Indies - their rivals for second spot in Group F - lost to Australia.
Sri Lanka, who will next face England on Thursday, had been put to the sword early on by India, starting with recalled opener Dinesh Karthik smashing the first ball of the match to the boundary.
Karthik, in the side in place of Murali Vijay, lasted just 11 further deliveries though before he presented a simple return catch to Lasith Malinga (2-25).
Suresh Raina then joined Gautam Gambhir in the middle and the pair added 66 runs off 41 balls to set the perfect platform for a late onslaught.
Gambhir fell nine short of his half-century when he became Malinga's second victim, however Raina passed 50 off 37 deliveries to continue his success in St Lucia having struck a century at the same venue against South Africa.
The left-hander eventually perished for 63 - caught in the deep off Thilan Thushara - and the India innings wilted to a disappointing 163 for five thereafter.
The total meant that Sri Lanka needed just 144 from their 20 overs to eliminate Mahendra Singh Dhoni's men.
Their reply got off to a disastrous start though as openers Mahela Jayawardene and Sanath Jayasuriya departed to leave them six for two.
Top tournament run-scorer Jayawardene (four) nicked an Ashish Nehra delivery to Yusuf Pathan at first slip and Jayasuriya (0) gave Vinay Kumar his first wicket in international cricket eight balls later.
But Tillakaratne Dilshan (33) and Sangakkara (46) launched a spirited recovery effort, with the former striking four boundaries from his first 11 balls.
He was eventually caught by Yuvraj Singh off Pathan's bowling with the score on 49-3, but Angelo Mathews helped keep the score ticking over.
Although Sangakkara departed, Kapugedera stepped in as he and Mathews (46 off 37) managed to score 60 from the final five overs against a dispirited India team that knew they would be flying home.
