Lapszynski has used graph theory to analyze spectral imagesin a way that integrates the spatial and spectral information. "The graph theory approach allows the data to speak for itself, while in traditional methods you were interpreting the data without having prior knowledge of what it might be," he says. Still, the graduating senior says he is not yet sure how best to construct these graphs. "We have different methods, but we don't know which one is the best. It depends on the application. The math side has been around for hundreds of years, but applying it to this type of data is a recent development."
After critical time spent working on the theoretical problem, Lapszynskiapplied the theoretical work to actual imagery collected with the airborne HyMAP sensor. In one image tile of a scene in high resolution, for example, a river that ran alongside the road popped into view more clearly with the new techniques. "We're not sure why. One guess is that the river is more anomalous than the road. (The spatial imagery) might have considered the road as background because there was a lot of upturned gravel and dirt in the scene," he explains. With the new technique, Lapszynki could better distinguish, for example, between manmade and natural materials. These techniques may eventually be useful for researchers studying deforestation in the Amazon, in the mining industry, or for farmers interesting in analyzing different types of soil.
The John Wiley Jones Award for Outstanding Students in Science is given to students in each of the six departments in the College of Science in recognition of their academic achievements and their contributions to the entire campus as good citizens. Lapszynski, who recently presented his senior project research, says he was surprised to be nominated to receive the award. "It was an honor to receive the award knowing that the faculty and staff chose me to be a recipient of the scholarship, especially since other individuals in my class have dedicated just as much time and effort into their education," he says.
But the Director of the Chester F. Carlson Center for Imaging Science, Stefi Baum, said that Lapszynski was a very deserving choice. In addition to his outstanding research activities, Lapszynski was a very active RIT citizen. During his college career Lapszynski has not shied away from outreach activities. He devoted himself this year to helping the freshman imaging project students in their efforts to calibrate their camera system and in answering any of their questions. As president of the Imaging Science & Technology Society for the past two years, Lapszynski organized weekly colloquia for the student body from industry representatives, CIS staff and even students working on cutting edge technologies related to the field. "Topics ranged from remote sensing, to astronomical, biomedical, visual perception, art preservation/historical manuscripts, digital image processing, and much more."
Lapszynski, who is from Philadelphia, will graduate and move to Dayton, Ohio to work for CACI, a defense contractor, doing work similar to his senior project.

Jeff Tsoutsos Is a Universal Hottie — Hunk of the Day
Jeff Tsoutsos is a fitness model from South Africa who has also starred in a Bollywood film. Know what that means? He's an international hunk. But his hotness and hardbodied look is universal—it knows no cultural or geographical boundaries. No matter where you're from, his smoldering hotness translates.


text: The Lun ekranoplan weighs 380 tons, has a 148-foot wingspan and can launch six anti-ship missiles from flight. Or rather, it could, before it was retired to a forlorn pier in southern Russia. The dilapidated plane is the offspring of an even larger prototype ship that so spooked the CIA in the 1960s that they developed an unmanned drone to spy on it, an alleged program detailed in the new book Area 51: An Uncensored History of America's Top Secret Military Base. Deployed much later, in 1987, the Lun (a more contemporary behemoth) was an improvement over the previous model. It remained in service until the 1990s, when it was mothballed by the Russian military. The once-fearsome Lun will likely never fly again and is now little more than a chunk of aerodynamic scrap metal. Alternately described as an amphibious aircraft or a flying boat, the plane is a feat of engineering that has been reduced to a footnote in aviation history. Read on for a look inside this aging relic and the ambitious program that spawned it.The surviving Lun ekranoplan was built as part of a closely guarded Soviet military program and is one of only two ever completed. As big as it is, its design was preceded by an even larger plane called the KM. In the mid-1960s, when CIA analysts first saw satellite images of the KM, they knew only that something very large and very fast had appeared on the Caspian Sea. The bewildered analysts dubbed it the "Caspian Sea Monster." According to a former CIA officer, the agency was so concerned about the discovery it developed an unmanned reconnaissance drone specifically for spying on the KM. The officer, Gene Poteat, and others claim that the government used the Nevada airbase popularly known as Area 51 to design surveillance technology, including the KM drone known as Aquiline. The official name of the Soviet ship, intelligence officers later learned, was "prototype ship" (abbreviated "KM" from the transliterated Russian). The modest title belied the KM's might. When it first skimmed the waters of the Caspian in 1966, the KM was the largest aircraft on earth. At 295 feet long, capable of flying with a total weight of 600 tons and operating at a cruising speed of 310 miles per hour, it was hardly a mock-up. At a glance the KM looks like it was made to fight Godzilla. Despite its impressive stats, it was never put into production and in 1980, in an accident described as pilot error, the KM crashed and sank. http://www.youtube.com/embed/V8Nu94khHooThe orphaned Lun, a monster of similar design to the KM, shows up nicely on Google Maps. A quick look will help you appreciate the Red October moment the CIA experienced when they came across the KM. At 240 feet long, the Lun is about the size of a 747, not quite as gigantic as the KM. However, unlike its predecessor, the Lun carries six Moskit anti-ship missiles, which it is capable of launching while airborne. http://www.youtube.com/embed/IgtaeRZjWNcFor conventional navy ships, the Lun is a nasty adversary. It's able to creep up undetected and deliver a savage pounding. Its low altitude keeps it below radar and its six supersonic P-270 Moskit anti-ship missiles can reach Mach 3 — more than triple the speed of the subsonic Harpoon missile that is a standard armament for the U.S. Navy. Coming in at such high velocity, the Moskit is within range of a ship's artillery for less than 30 seconds before impact. In comparison, the Harpoon gives defenders two minutes or more. The Lun also had a maximum range of over 1,200 miles, and could sustain its 15-person crew for five days without resupply. While never tested, the plane was theoretically capable of carrying up to 900 soldiers. The Lun's current location is a dock in Kaspiysk, in the Russian-controlled republic of Dagestan. It's a potentially volatile resting place: An Islamic insurgency in Dagestan has been compared a small version of the war that ripped apart neighboring Chechnya. http://www.youtube.com/embed/eVTbi8kWovIThe Lun and similar aircraft are called ekranoplans in Russian or ground effect vehicles (GEVs). The ground effect is a physical phenomenon that occurs whenever an aircraft is close to touching down. In the seconds prior to landing, for example, the wings and the ground below form a funnel for air molecules. The funnel compresses the air flowing beneath the wings, increasing its pressure and generating more lift. The proximity to the ground also decreases the strength of wingtip vortices — ringlets of air that are a major cause of aerodynamic drag. Thanks to this effect, GEVs generate more lift and less drag than a conventional aircraft of equivalent size and speed that fly at higher altitudes. Scientists describe GEVs as riding on a dynamic air cushion that acts like the inflated skirt of a hovercraft. The catch is that the advantages of the ground effect only happen when an ekranoplan is skimming the Earth's surface, so even the massive Lun cruises at just 15 feet of altitude. Since terra firma presents at least an occasional 15-foot obstacle, such as a telephone pole or a mountain, most GEVs operate exclusively over water. Though the Lun and other ekranoplans often relied on the ground effect cushion, they were capable of flying well above their normal cruising altitude.The Soviet Union was by far the most advanced and intrepid designer of ground effect vehicles, funding a series of experimental programs and prototypes. Even so, flying GEVs is no easy task and many models were dogged by accidents and pilot error. When operating at just 15 feet above the surface, if a pilot turns too hard, then the wing is literally in the ground. As military aircraft, ekranoplans offer several standout features. Their low cruising altitudes are below the range of most radar and their extra lift means they can carry heavier cargo than conventional craft of the same size and can be up to 35 percent more fuel-efficient. They can take off and land in the water, obviating the need for runways or docks. And while the lumbering cargo ships are lucky to hit 30 miles per hour, ekranoplans can break 300 mph. The father of the ekranoplan program, Rostislav Alexeyev, was in the cockpit during the first crash of an Orlyonok model GEV. It was 1975 and Alexeyev was flying in rough weather. The plane's tail section fell off in flight, a failure attributed to a weak metal that was used in the fuselage. Miraculously, Alexeyev managed to steer the wounded craft back to its base, but the damage to his credibility was irreparable. Before the accident, Alexeyev had been the pioneering leader of the Central Hydrofoil Design Bureau and oversaw the flourishing Soviet ekranoplan program of the 1960s which had produced the impressive KM. Despite Alexeyev's fall from grace, Soviet authorities did not abandon GEVs entirely. The Lun was built in the late 1980s, and is undoubtedly among the greatest triumphs of the ekranoplan program.The Alexeyev fiasco wasn't the end of the troubles for the Central Hydrofoil Design Bureau. In 1992, an Orlyonok ekranoplan ditched during a flight while preparing for a public demo. One of the crew members was killed, and the remaining nine were badly injured. The exhibition had been intended for foreign investors. After the military draw-down that followed the end of the Soviet Union, the new government had spun off the Central Hydrofoil Design Bureau into a private company, which was then trying to drum up business. The crash was a huge drawback in efforts to develop GEVs for civilian transportation.Outside Russia, the outlook for GEV technology is equally grim. Boeing briefly entertained the idea of building an enormous military cargo plane along the lines of the great Soviet ekranoplans. The aircraft, dubbed the Pelican, got as far as a cheesy 3-D rendering, and, according to a representative, Boeing has no plans to pursue the project further.Though the Lun was never mass-produced, it remains a triumph of innovation and daring. Uncharitable comparisons to the Spruce Goose may leap to mind, but unlike Howard Hughes' monstrosity, the Lun and the other hulking ekranoplans could, and did, fly — hauling huge cargoes, firing supersonic missiles and skimming the waves at 300 miles per hour.The Lun now receives basic maintenance, but is not in flying condition and likely never will be again. Though it now seems like a fad that has run its course, GEV technology still has disciples. True believers say the concept never got a fair shake, and its vast potential has been overlooked. Some have a messianic zeal that recalls people who stuck by their Betamax VCRs, certain of redemption. Then again, until a few years ago, advocates of electric cars sounded that way, too.All photos: Igor KolokovSee Also:- Russia Working on Mysterious Space Plane of Its OwnSuperJet 100 Will Make Russia's Aircraft Industry Relevant Again12 Awesome Airplane Paint JobsWill Israel Sell Russia Its Prized Monster Drone?Exciting New High-Tech Russian T-50 Stealth Fighter Jet

Ghosts of Murdered Kings
In the hills of Ireland's County Tipperary, a laborer harvesting peat from a dried-up bog spots the remnants of a corpse — a headless torso almost perfectly preserved and stained dark brown by the bog. Archaeologists recognize it as one of Europe's rare bog bodies: prehistoric corpses flung into the marshes. The corpse eventually will be dated to the Bronze Age, more than 4,000 years ago. Forensic evidence reveals a shockingly violent death. NOVA follows archaeologists and forensic experts in their hunt for clues to the identity and the circumstances of this and other violent deaths of bog body victims. A new theory emerges that they are ritually murdered kings, slain to assure the fertility of land and people. NOVA's ancient detective story opens a tantalizing window on the beliefs of Europe's long-vanished prehistoric peoples.

| 7.1°C Belfast
Victoria Beckham has apparently decided against a big bash for her 40th birthday.
The Spice Girl-turned-designer will celebrate the milestone on April 17 but wants an intimate dinner with family and close friends rather than a big showbiz party, reported the Daily Mirror.
She has apparently asked two of her best friends, former Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria and hairdresser Ken Paves, to arrange a low-key meal at a restaurant near to her home in Los Angeles.
A source said: "It's a dinner party rather than a full-on lavish party because she made it quite clear she wanted something more low-key.
"Ken and Eva are great friends and have taken charge of organising things - and she's got some other lovely friends who live nearby and are coming along."
The guest list will include Posh's family and friends such as Gordon and Tana Ramsay and Simon Fuller and his wife. The Mirror reported that the rest of the Spice Girls aren't attending.
"It's a far cry from the reports of hundreds of friends and celebrities," added the insider.
"She was almost happy to spend the day with only family, but David wanted to mark the occasion and make her feel special."
Husband David apparently has a special gift planned for his wife's big day, with the Mail Online reporting that it's thought he might be splashing out on a diamond bracelet.

The Slow 'N' Sear turns your grill into a first class smoker and also creates an extremely hot sear zone you can use to create steakhouse steaks.
The Good-One Open Range is dramatically different from a traditional offset smoker. By placing the heat source behind and under the smokebox instead of off to the side, Open Range produces even temperature from left to right, something almost impossible to achieve with a standard barrel shaped offset.
The flat top does the burgers and the fryer does the fries. Use the griddle for bacon, eggs, and home fries. Or pancakes, fajitas, grilled cheese, you name it. Why stink up the house deep frying and spatter all over? Do your fried chicken and calamari outside. Blackstone's Rangetop Combo With Deep Fryer does it all!
The PBC has a rabid cult following for good reason. It is absolutely positively without a doubt the best bargain on a smoker in the world. Period. This baby will cook circles around the cheap offset sideways barrel smokers because temperature control is so much easier.
The Thermoworks Thermapen MK4 is considered by the pros, and our team, to be the single best instant read thermometer. The MK4 includes features that are common on high-end instruments: automatic backlight and rotating display. Don't accept cheap substitutes.
We always liked Grilla. The small 31.5" x 29.5" footprint makes it ideal for use where BBQ space is limited, as on a condo patio.
Delta by Nuke burns wood or charcoal and comes with an adjustable height grill grate. This Argentinian grill will get your flame on!
Weber's Genesis line has long been one of the most popular choices for gas grillers. The new Genesis II E-335 offers solid performance, a sear burner for sizzling heat and an excellent warranty.
GrillGrates(TM) amplify heat, prevent flareups, make flipping foods easier, kill hotspots, flip over to make a fine griddle, and can be easily rmoved from one grill to another. You can even throw wood chips, pellets, or sawdust between the rails and deliver a quick burst of smoke.
The PK-360, with 360 square inches of cooking space, this rust free, cast aluminum charcoal grill is durable and easy to use. Four-way venting means it's easy to set up for two zone cooking with more control than single vent Kamado grills. It is beautifully designed, completely portable, and much easier to set up for 2-zone cooking than any round kamado.
The amazing Karubecue is the most innovative smoker in the world. The quality of meat from this machine is astonishing. At its crux is a patented firebox that burns logs above the cooking chamber and sucks heat and extremely clean blue smoke into the thermostat controlled oven. It is our favorite smoker, period.
This is the first propane smoker with a thermostat, making this baby foolproof. Set ThermoTemp's dial from 175° to 350°F and the thermostat inside will adjust the burner just like an indoor kitchen oven. All you need to do is add wood to the tray above the burner to start smokin'.
A good digital thermometer keeps you from serving dry overcooked food or dangerously undercooked food. They are much faster and much more accurate than dial thermometers. YOU NEED ONE!
FireBoard Drive 2 is an updated version of a well-received product that sets the standard for performance and functionality in the wireless food thermometer/thermostatic controller class.
Napoleon's NK22CK-C Charcoal Kettle Grill puts a few spins on the familiar kettle design. In fact, the hinged lid with a handle on the front, spins in a rotary motion 180 degrees. It's hard to beat a Weber kettle, but Napoleon holds its own and adds some unique features to make the NK22CK-C a viable alternative.
Green Mountain's portable Davy Crockett Pellet Smoker is one mean tailgating and picnic machine. But it's also gaining popularity with people who want to add a small, set it and forget it pellet smoker to their backyard arsenal. And with their WiFi capabilities you can control and monitor Davy Crocket from your smart phone or laptop.

Dental Challenges for Autistic Patients
Autism – a developmental disability that significantly affects communication (both verbal and non verbal) and social interaction, generally evident before age three, that adversely affects educational performance. Other characteristics often associated with autistic people are, engagement in repetitive activities and stereotyped movements, resistance to environmental change or change in daily routines, and unusual responses to sensory experiences.
-1 percent of the population of children in the U.S. ages 3-17 have an autism spectrum disorder.
-Prevalence is estimated at 1 in 88 births.
-1 to 1.5 million Americans live with an autism spectrum disorder.
Autistic patients, as well as patients with similar behavioral and possibly intellectual challenges, present a unique challenge for dentists as well as parents. Most dental procedures involve the use of bright lights, loud noises, and touching of a very sensitive part of the body. Most people in general are uneasy, and apprehensive about dental treatment, imagine what it is like for an autistic child or adult.
Hypersensitivity to one's environment is usually a hallmark trait for most autistic patients. This makes dental care even more challenging, as they may react adversely to the sensory overload. Autistic patients do not like change in their daily schedules, new noises, new people, or new activities. In the past, these challenges would lead to most dentists turning away such patients, but in modern dentistry this is no longer the case. There are many dentists who have training to help them with the special challenges that come with autism.
Dental Issues For Autistic Patients
-Poor Dental Hygiene. While this is not isolated just to Autistic patients, the autistic population has an increased risk of poor maintenance.
-Increased Tooth Decay. Poor dental hygiene and tooth decay go hand in hand but for these patients there is increased risk due to many parents and caregivers use of candy as a reward for good behavior, and a common habit of pocketing of food in the cheek. The increased exposure to sugars, and leaving carbohydrates in direct contact with the tooth surface over prolonged periods an will lead to increase in tooth decay.
-Teeth Grinding or Bruxism. While many people suffer from this, we have seen a higher rate of autistic patients vs the general population exhibiting this behavior.
-Self Injury. Many autistic patients will bite or pick at their gums creating an issue dentally. A mouth guard might be recommended as long as the autistic patient can tolerate it.
-Medication related issues. Many autistic patients suffer from seizures and therefore take medication for it. These medications can lead to decreased saliva production which can lead to dry mouth and subsequent bad breath and tooth decay.
Techniques for Handling Autistic Patients in Dental Chair
1) Set up a Pre-Appointment Tour and Introduction. Parents should talk to the dentist ahead of time to let him/her know a bit about the child, including what helps to soothe and what is an easy set off for behaviors. Let the patient come to the office to tour the facilities and get a feel for the surroundings and the people there. Let them see the trays as well as touch everything that is safe for them to touch. This should include the x ray machine so they are familiar with it when they arrive for the actual appointment. Meeting the entire staff is very important as well.
2) Keep Initial Visit as short as possible. Make the first visit quick and as noninvasive as possible.
3) Always keep Communicating. The dentist and Hygienist needs to explain what is going to happen to the child directly, what instruments are going to be used, what it might feel like, and about how long it is going to take to finish. The child should feel free to ask questions, and be taught hand signals to let the dentist know if they need a break, or if they cannot tolerate any more.
4) Have Parents in Room if Needed. This one becomes a personal choice between parent or caregiver and dentist. Some patients do well with them in room and some do not. It is totally a case by case decision. Never be afraid of insisting that you be present during the dental appointment – your child may require you to be there anyway. Make sure the dental staff is comfortable with this.
5) Possible use of General Anesthesia, Sedatives, restraints. More involved dental procedures like tooth extractions, dental fillings and even radiographs can be done under sedation or general anesthesia if the patient's behavior is likely to create difficulty for the dentist or patient in providing safe dental care. Restraints sound scary to most, but autistic children, especially those with Aspergers are calmed by a tight pediwrap. Aspergers children often squeeze themselves in a hug or wear tight clothing to self soothe in an intense situation.
Conclusion For Autistic Patients Dental Care
Autistic patients are presented with challenges everyday of their lives so it is up to those around them to come up with solutions to make it as seamless as possible for them. The challenge is there, but it can be overcome with patience between dentist, patient, and parent/caregiver. With proper planning, dental care is possible to maintain autistic patients teeth and gums for a lifetime.

MILAN - Casual and colorful is the message sent out by designers of menswear for summer 2013.
After four days of preview shows ending Tuesday, it is clear that the Italian designers — and others showing in Milan — want to project good vibes for next summer, despite European economic gloom.
The current round of menswear had a happy feel to it, whether it was offering suits with Bermuda shorts for the office or a fuchsia summer raincoat to outshine even the darkest cloud.
The myriad of big and brightly colored weekend bags, in materials ranging from simple canvas to precious crocodile, and the abundance of loafers, sneakers and running shoes, show that the designers are into the good life.
Shorts-short as well as knee length are the stars of the season, moving between resort and workplace with incredible ease.
The blazer also makes a huge comeback, cut close to the body, colorful and worn with a pair of shorts or a trouser cropped at the ankle. Lightweight coats are another summer favourite.
Although some designers threw in a tie for old times sake, the more popular piece to go under a suit was a white open-collared shirt or a classic polo shirt.
This round, designers used organza and other see-through materials-usually relegated to womenswear for special transparency on pullovers and patterned jackets.
But no matter what the style, summer 2013 is all about colour, from red to green to yellow to deep blue. Different colours may appear in the same outfit, such as a green lapel on a yellow jacket or blue pockets on a red coat.
Even minimalist designer Jil Sander chose to mark her return to the eponymous label she left eight years ago with a collection dipped in colour. And that should say it all.
For next summer, Giorgio Armani is back to doing what he does best — tailoring gorgeous jackets.
Indeed, it all started with a jacket for the Milanese designer who turns 79 next month. The first was lining-less, but it wasn't long before an Armani suit was a wardrobe must and an Armani tuxedo a red carpet favourite.
The Armani show on Tuesday was an ode to the jacket, from soft cardigan cuts to blazers and more structured city jackets, all in super-refined lightweight fabrics.
The overall look was of a well put-together man whose cut of clothes is casual. A cardigan jacket could be worn with a pair of pleated trousers, while a navy suit had Bermuda shorts but also a shirt and tie.
The season's silhouette is comfy and slightly elongated. The jacket has four or six buttons and the shoulder is unpadded. The pleated trousers are soft around the hips and brush the ankle.
The latest leather jacket — either bomber or blazer — is made of leather worked to look like seersucker, a tribute to Italian craftsmanship.
Armani is not in the habit of following the pack. While most of Milan is screaming colour, Armani quietly stuck to his longtime favourites: sandy beige, pebble grey, coffee brown and ink blue.
The Dsquared2 man is a creature of the night.
Even after dark he wears his "easy rider" shades, and his style is strictly black.
The transgressive 2013 summer menswear collection presented Tuesday by the fun-loving Canadian designing twins Dean and Dan Caten came as a surprise after four days of preview showings characterized by a sporty but conservative look.
High-top animal print shoes with black soles and metal tongues as large as shin guards, abundant use of metal chains and tight-fitting leather scuba jackets all contributed to a very dark look. The only bright light in the collection was a series of white embroidered or studded shirts.
Like many designers showing their summer collections during this round of menswear, the Cates paired Bermuda shorts with jackets for a contemporary suit look. But the DSquared version has a panel across the front, making it the only wraparound Bermuda for men seen to date, and not only in Milan.

The budget-priced smartphone posed a peculiar problem for technology reviewers. Often we need to look closely to spot the parts of a new gadget that demand attention, and perhaps criticism, but with a cheap phone, these elements are plain to see. But for every shortcoming, there is a part of the mind that replies, "yeah, but it's only $150".
So when does that excuse wear out?
It certainly not the first thing you think when you take the Agora 5-inch out of the box. In fact, we were genuinely surprised at how good the phone looks and feels, given how cheap it is.
It also looks a lot like the original Samsung Galaxy Note. Like, a lot. The shape of the handset, the position of the buttons, the fact that it has a rectangular Home button below the screen: everything screams Samsung.
Even the back of the phone looks like the Note, with the same textured plastic battery cover and the same positioning of the camera lens and flash.
This isn't great for Samsung, but it is a boon for those of you who pick up this bad boy for a quarter of what it costs to buy a Galaxy Note.
Screen time
The first letdown comes when you turn the phone on and see the screen's 800 x 600 pixels stretched across the 5-inch display. If you've every connected your computer into a TV, you'll know what we're talking about here. Pixels are more visible and everything looks sort of soft, like it's just out of focus.
Not only, but the colour of this screen is pretty woeful, too. When viewed at the optimal angle, all screen elements look washed out, with an obvious blue hue across the panel. When viewed off-axis, however subtle the angle, the image of screen degrades considerably.
There is also so obvious colour banding in this screen, so that gradients of colour appear as strips of incrementally different colours, rather than one smooth transition in tone.
But, you know, it's only $150, right? Not when you add the cost of the painkillers you'll need to dull the throbbing headache emminating from behind your eyes.

Starting a new weekly group ride isn't easy. Getting the word out is difficult, and then getting people to show up after that can be a challenge, too. The Monday Commuter Convoy is no exception.
Chris and Karen have stuck with me pretty much from the beginning, and now Karen's on vacation for the next few months. I've had a few others come and go, and I've run across people who kind of "accidentally" joined the group en-route. That said, with only two regular riders and a few occasional ones, it's not quite a convoy yet.
The convoy is attracting a little tiny bit of interest in the local media. This started with a post on kcbike.info a while back ago, then with a KC Star letter to the editor and kind of took off from there. I've been contacted via e-mail by commuters in other cities and by other members of the press both local and elsewhere. No other exposure yet, but it's prompted me to try a little bit harder to get more people to show up. This isn't just about getting to work on a bicycle, nor is it just about being up at the crack of dawn to ride. Here are a few reasons I started it, and why I'd like to see more people commute with the convoy on Monday mornings:
- To get other bicyclists introduced to commuting by bike
- To show that almost anyone can do it. Trust me.
- To create visible bicycle traffic with no doubt that we are commuting
- It's fun, healthy, and safer than you may think.
- It's better than 2 cups of coffee at waking you up.
Some push-back I've gotten from would-be participants revolves around the schedule and the temperatures we're seeing here in KC. Let me address those:
There are two reasons I want to hit Merriam Lane no later than 6:05 AM. The first of which is traffic once you get downtown. Traffic starts to really take off around 6:40 or so, and the less time you spend on the arterial roadways after 7:00, the better. The second reason is temperature. the 6 o'clock hour is the coolest hour by far on a normal summer day.
If you don't need to be at work until 8:00 and leaving at 6:00 seems counter-intuitive, it gives you time to relax at a local coffee shop, let the sweat evaporate a bit, and center yourself before work. It's also great "you" time before work if you're into meditation/prayer, reading, devotions, or catching up on the news. You don't need to be at home to do those things. Bring a book, the newspaper, or even your laptop. I do.
As far as temperatures are concerned, I advocate using the bus system to decrease your exposure to the heat and sun. You can get within a few miles of most anywhere in Johnson County using the JO buses. On some hot days, I take the bus halfway home. If I need to or want to, there are 3 other stops I can use ranging from a few blocks away to 3 miles. I'll gladly help you find a bus route to get you close to home, so don't let that get you down.

WASHINGTON — Federal health advisers said Wednesday that a first-of-a-kind drug from Pfizer appears to be safe and effective for patients with rheumatoid arthritis, though they recommended follow-up studies to gauge the pill's long-term side effects.
Don't miss these Health stories
More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Rates of women who are opting for preventive mastectomies, such as Angeline Jolie, have increased by an estimated 50 percent in recent years, experts say. But many doctors are puzzled because the operation doesn't carry a 100 percent guarantee, it's major surgery -- and women have other options, from a once-a-day pill to careful monitoring.
- Larry Page's damaged vocal cords: Treatment comes with trade-offs
- Report questioning salt guidelines riles heart experts
- CDC: 2012 was deadliest year for West Nile in US
- What stresses moms most? Themselves, survey says
- More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
The Food and Drug Administration's panel of arthritis experts voted 8-2 in favor of Pfizer's tofacitinib for patients who have not responded to one or more other drugs. The FDA is not required to follow the group's advice, though it often does. A final decision is expected in August.
Panelists said the drug could be an important option for patients, but voiced concern over reports of lymphoma and infection among patients taking the pill. Assessing the drug's role in those problems is difficult because patients with rheumatoid arthritis are already predisposed to a range of health problems, including cancer.
If approved, tofacitinib would be the first pill for rheumatoid arthritis from a new class of pain medications called JAK inhibitors. The drugs work by interfering with enzymes that contribute to the inflammation process that causes joint pain, particularly in the hands and feet.
Studies conducted by Pfizer showed patients improved 20 percent or more on a medical questionnaire that measures arthritis pain and symptoms. However, the FDA said the company's results were less conclusive on another measure: X-ray images tracking the rate of joint damage.
Despite that shortcoming, panelists said Pfizer's pill could be an important option for patients who haven't responded to other drugs or aren't comfortable with injectable medications.
"I voted yes because I would like to have this drug available for rheumatoid arthritis patients, given that we know a third of them will not respond to available therapies," said Dr. Maria Suarez-Almazor of the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.
For more than a decade, rheumatoid arthritis has been treated with injectable drugs like Humira, which block a messaging protein related to inflammatory diseases. Humira and rival Enbrel were the 10th and 11th best-selling drugs in the U.S. last year, with combined sales of $7 billion, according to IMS Health. The drugs are also prescribed for psoriasis and other diseases of the immune system.
Rheumatoid arthritis occurs when the immune system attacks the body's own joints and tissue. It differs from traditional arthritis, which is caused by long-term deterioration of bones and joints.
The most common side effects of treatment with tofacitinib have included bronchitis, headache, infections, and gastrointestinal symptoms like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. More serious side effects include higher cholesterol levels and increased creatinine levels.
Tofacitinib is a key product in Pfizer's pipeline, following patent expirations on several blockbuster drugs, including the world's best-selling prescription medication, Lipitor. Pfizer is studying tofacitinib as a potential treatment for psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disease, and renal transplant.

Good news for rheumatic disorder patients - Cipla launches the first biosimilar of Etanercept in India under the brand name Etacept
Mumbai: Cipla launched the first biosimilar of Etanercept in India under the brand name, Etacept, indicated for the treatment of rheumatic disorders. Etacept is manufactured by China-based Shanghai CP Guojian Pharmaceutical and will be marketed by Cipla in India. The introduction of Etacept signals Cipla's entry into the biologics segment. Clinical efficacy and the safety of the drug have also been well established in Indian patients.
Etacept contains Etanercept, a biologic produced by recombinant DNA technology. Etacept (Etanercept) binds to TNF-α, a cytokine that plays a very important role in the inflammation and joint damage in rheumatic disorders. It helps in modifying the course of the disease and prevents further damage to the joints. Etacept (Etanercept) is approved in the management of rheumatic disorders like rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, juvenile idiopathic rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis.
Currently there are disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARD), which are considered to be the first line of treatment for rheumatic disorders. However, approximately 40 percent of the patients are not controlled on these drugs. In such cases, biologics like Etanercept play a significant role in controlling the disease activity and make a positive difference in the lives of these patients.
Etacept is available as a lyophilized powder to be given by subcutaneous injection. It is available with stockists across India at $123 (Rs6,150) and the recommended dose for adults is 25mg twice weekly by subcutaneous injection.
Commenting on the launch of Etacept, Dr. Jaideep Gogtay, medical director, Cipla said, "The higher cost of biologics has been a major hindrance, limiting its affordability and accessibility to millions of patients. We believe that introducing Etacept at a lower cost (30 percent lesser as compared to the innovator) will enable access of this drug to a greater number of patients in India. This can be enhanced further if we consider the results of a recent study that showed in patients who were successfully treated with Etanercept for six months, a 50 percent reduced dose worked just as well as continuing the current dose."

This article is a tutorial-style guide to setting up your system correctly, and eliminating any problems to get the best results from your studio. The two most popular home setups are likely to be similar arrangements to the following:
Fig. 1: Setup 1
Fig.1 shows vocals or instruments being processed through a Focusrite channel strip of some kind and being fed to a desk, which is possibly receiving signals from a keyboard or other devices. Additional Focusrite units may be in use, as inserts, with the desk. The desk then sends to monitors and a recording medium of some kind, most likely a hard disk- or analogue/digital tape-based format. The desk and recording medium may be substituted by a digital multitrack in some cases.
Fig.2 is probably the most common configuration, and illustrates a computer-based setup running Pro Tools/Logic or another audio platform. The vocals or instruments are being processed through the Focusrite unit (and possibly being converted by the A/D card) and then going to an interface (Mbox/Digi 002) connecting to a computer. The interface(s) (Audio and MIDI) may be a soundcard within a computer as opposed to an external device. Additional Focusrite units may be in use, as inserts, with the interface. The computer might be sending MIDI information to other equipment (through the same or a separate interface) which is then also feeding the interface. Depending on the front-end Focusrite unit in use, audio may be returning from the interface to the Focusrite device in order to make use of Zero Latency Monitoring.
Fig. 2: Setup 2
The main consideration with either setup is whether audio is to be transmitted in analogue or digital format.
ANALOGUE: If analogue is chosen, then the obvious problems are to do with signal degradation, interference and noise.
Where does noise and interference come from in an analogue system?
Providing the components and circuitry within a studio's equipment produce no unwanted sounds or distortion, the problematic noises on an audio signal are normally caused by inadequate wiring. The main reason for this is that wires are essentially antennas, and are therefore likely to pick up external fields caused by RF sources, electrostatic events or magnetic fields. This effect is reduced by shielding cables with braiding or foil. One of the most irritating interfering currents in larger studios (with long cable runs) comes from the mains supply. These power lines radiate a lot, but fortunately the 50Hz pickup is minimal with small cables, and so shouldn't cause significant problems in most home studios. However, a common annoyance in a variety of audio applications is caused by the use of differing ground sources, which create hum. The cable's shielding that serves to protect against high frequency interference can compound this hum.
All systems need to have a ground reference (0V), which is used to compare with the input signal to amplify and process the difference. This reference, generally connected to the chassis or grounding pin of the mains plug, will have all voltages inside the unit measured against it. Problems occur when two pieces of equipment are linked because their references, that are also joined, must then agree. With the cable shield often picking up hum and/or carrying current that results in a voltage drop (unavoidable if it's part of the signal path - as with unbalanced interconnects), there can be a difference in value between the two references. An input circuit may interpret this variation as the signal and amplify it. You may think this would be insignificant, but although the voltage may be small, the impedance is tiny and this, combined with Ohm's law, can make the current high. The hum that results, despite being at 50Hz, is not easily filtered due to the upper harmonics (100Hz, 150Hz...) generated.
More complex studio arrangements (especially post-production houses) can develop problems as a result of multiple ground paths combining to produce a loop antenna, which picks up 50Hz noise. These "ground loops" can be difficult to solve, as the internal structure of equipment is not always easily worked out.
Balanced cabling was developed in professional audio applications to be immune to these unavoidable occurrences. Probably the most common source of confusion is on the subject of connecting balanced and unbalanced equipment. Many users seem unsure of compatibility and, if compatible, the method of wiring two devices together. So here's a rough guide:
What do the terms 'Balanced' and 'Unbalanced' mean?
The terms 'Balanced' and 'Unbalanced' (or 'single-ended') are used to describe the kind of electrical interface (and hence cabling required) between devices. The balanced circuit has its electrical midpoint grounded whereas one side is grounded in unbalanced. Unbalanced cables only have two contacts and the 'common' conductor (the shield) is used as a return path for the signal. The chassis/ground references of two pieces of equipment are likely to have different voltages (see above), causing a ground noise current to be carried by the shield and hence be added to the audio signal. This produces undesirable noise or hum. (This isn't generally much of a problem in home studio arrangements with shorter cable runs and less equipment/power lines...)
A balanced cable, however, uses two dedicated conductors for the forward (+) and return (-) paths of the signal. The voltages of the two conductors, at any point in the balanced cable, are equal in amplitude and opposite in phase (180 deg out of phase). Any external interference, causing identical noise/distortion in the two signal carrying conductors, will be ignored at the balanced input stage by a differential amplifier, which only processes the difference between signals. With a 'twisted pair' cable, the two conductors are intertwined and wrapped with the shield to further prevent distortion from RF sources, electrostatic discharge or magnetic fields. The two chassis are then linked together using the shield, which may be an antenna for attracting hum but is not a signal-carrying conductor. So, providing the internal grounding of each bit of equipment is properly designed, no undesirable noise is created.
Fig. 3: Balanced cable
Fig. 4: Unbalanced cable
Ideally, the perfect system should have balanced interconnects between all devices, with cable shields tied to the metal chassis on entry at both ends of the cable. This will guarantee hum-free results and the best possible protection from radio frequency interference and noise.
Can Balanced and Unbalanced equipment be connected?
Yes, but it isn't ideal and must be done carefully as "blindly" connecting unbalanced with fully balanced can lead to audible problems. As most Focusrite outputs are balanced, on XLR or TRS jack, the following guidelines relate to these instances (balanced output to unbalanced input).
The main issues regarding the correct cabling procedures are to do with the nature of the balanced output; whether it's transformer or electronic. With an electronic output, the connecting technique is less important but a transformer output will almost certainly require some cable modification to work. Sending the forward signal (+/live) from pin 2 of the XLR, or the tip of the TRS jack, to the tip of the phono plug or mono jack is always necessary. Connecting the return signal (-) from pin 3 of the XLR, or the ring of the TRS jack, to the shield of the phono plug or mono jack, will give a signal if the output is electronically balanced (Fig 5). However, this signal will be reduced by 6dB. If it's a transformer output there'll be no signal at all.
Fig. 5: Balanced (not transformer) to unbalanced
Fig. 6: Balanced (transformer) to unbalanced
As most outputs are cross-coupled electronic or transformer, the best configuration is Fig. 6. Connecting the shield of the TRS jack, or pin 1 of the XLR, to either the ring of the jack or pin 3 of the XLR (as shown) will result in a signal from the transformer output that is reduced by 6dB, and no loss of level from the electronic cross-coupled output.
All TRS Jack balanced outputs of Focusrite gear (which are electronically balanced and cross-coupled) can be connected to an unbalanced jack/phono input of a desk or interface, using a standard mono jack to mono jack/phono cable. This may cause the unbalanced input to be overloaded as the balanced signal output from the Focusrite will be at line level. To overcome this, either :
ï reduce the output level
ï disconnect pin 1 from pin 3
ï use a -10 unbalanced jack output where available
If connecting an unbalanced output to a balanced input, the connections are more straightforward. Simply join the tip of the phono plug or mono jack to pin 2 of the XLR, or the tip of the TRS jack, and then the shield of the unbalanced connector to pin 3 or the ring, as follows:
Fig. 7: Unbalanced to balanced
If the input happens to be transformer balanced, then either the ring of the TRS jack or pin 3 of the XLR should be connected to the shield of the cable.

Celiac disease (also called gluten enteropathy) is an intestinal disorder that results from an abnormal
immunological reaction to gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, rye, and, to a lesser extent, oats.
In addition to damaging the lining of the small intestine, celiac disease can sometimes affect other parts
of the body, such as the pancreas (increasing the risk of diabetes), the thyroid gland (increasing the risk
of thyroid disease), and the nervous system (increasing the risk of peripheral neuropathies and other
neurological disorders). Occasionally, such damage occurs only in one or more of these parts of the body in the absence of damage to the intestines.
Celiac disease may not cause symptoms in some people. However, others may have a history of frequent diarrhea; pale, foul-smelling, bulky stools; abdominal pain, gas, and bloating; weight loss; fatigue; canker sores; muscle cramps; delayed growth or short stature; bone and joint pain; seizures; painful skin rash; or infertility. Microscopic examination of the small-intestinal lining reveals severe damage, especially in the jejunum (the central portion of the small intestines). People with untreated celiac disease may eventually experience malaise and weight loss and have an increased risk of developing anemia, osteoporosis, osteomalacia, and certain types of cancer. In addition to physical symptoms, some people may experience emotional disturbances, including feelings of anxiety and depression.
In one study, children who were breast-fed for less than 30 days were four times more likely to develop celiac disease, compared with children who were breast-fed for more than 30 days.1 Although this study does not prove that breast-feeding prevents the development of celiac disease, it is consistent with other research showing that breast-feeding promotes a healthier gastrointestinal tract than does formula-feeding.2

I'm in.
For the third year in a row, I've won the Leadville lottery and the opportunity to race the Leadville 100 MTB race this August.
In 2009, I raced my heart out, finishing after 11 hours and 24 minutes on the grueling course. I returned last year with one of my best friends, Marcos, for my second buckle – it was not to be. Marcos earned his buckle, but I bailed at the bottom of Powerline (inbound) after 8 ½ hours and 80 miles of racing.
So, here we go. On this crazy adventure to race my bike above 10,000 feet in the Colorado Rockies, just to see if I can.
Stay tuned for lots more adventure…

Poll The moment has arrived for you, our beloved cinemagoing readers, to vote for the worst movie never made.
To recap, we invited submissions for an imaginary nightmare celluloid creation more hideous than this cinematic list of shame - the 10 worst films ever made, according to El Reg readers:
- Battlefield Earth
- The Phantom Menace
- Twilight
- Highlander II
- Avatar
- The Blair Witch Project
- Titanic
- The Matrix Reloaded
- Megashark vs Giant Octopus
- Snakes on a Plane
We've worked our way through your proposals, and selected 15 for the final vote. Before we get to it, though, we'd like to explain that the selection process was based purely on what tickled our personal fancy.
While we would have preferred a more developed plot outline, cast list and so forth, you'll see that some of the finalists provided the barest of details. These made the final cut because it wasn't really necessary, or indeed advisable, to expand on the concept.
Two similarly bare-bones entries which aren't in our poll are The Teletubbies, directed by John Carpenter (proposed by TheOtherHobbes), and Teletubbies vs Predator (anonymous submission).
We did actually ask for the worst film never made, and I'd personally pay good money to see either of the above.
Right, let's get on with it. Here are the 15 finalists' pitches, followed by the poll. The ultimate winner will get DVDs of the aforementioned top 10 worst films. The runner-up will get the top five titles, while third place will get a copy of Battlefield Earth...
Alien-egally Blonde 3: In Space
Submitted by Novafix
Kelly Osbourne (voiced by Joe Pasquale) stars as an entitled teen judge who was never accepted by her peers. She embarks on a cosmic voyage in a the space ship Caterwaul to conduct a sensational trial in the stars. She is tasked with representing herself against herself (voiced by Jeremy Kyle) after a hilarious mix-up with a teleport machine. She is supported by a wise-cracking Spider Monkey called 'Mr Funk' who is a CGI rendition of herself tweaked into Monkey form (voiced by Janet Street Porter).
Heading a long-winded distress call (voiced by William Hague), she lands on Iceland (a planet made from abandoned Iceland supermarkets launched into space). As she works her way through the thousand-year-old Sausage Rolls, over the course of 25 horrific minutes, she is attacked by a tiny crab-like creature with 10 faces (all Kelly Osbourne's) which implants a tiny version of herself into herself (voiced by Salt of Salt 'n' Peppa fame). While on the planet she meets an Ozzy Osbourne lookalike (played by herself, voiced by Morgan Freeman) with whom she has a romantic fling but can never decide if he likes her or the constant smell of mechanically recovered pork meat.
The plot is a rollercoaster ride to acquit Osbourne of a crime she can't remember if she did or not before she hatches from herself in what the ship's Android version of herself (voiced by Chris Rock) has predicted will be 'like a bag of shit exploding from a grotesque Russian Doll'.
The director is Ezio Greggio.

Neon Genesis Evangelion: Live Action Fanservice Edition
Submitted by Susan Y
Director: Alex Cox
Shinji Ikari (Cate Blanchett in drag) is a whiny loser who is bullied at school. Luckily for Shinji, all his bullying problems come to an end when robots from outer space invade Earth and his former classmates are incinerated in an atomic blast. Even better for Shinji, the Christian lady who rescues him from the ruins (Linda Fiorentino) is really foxy, and has an interest in boys his age. It turns out that Shinji's father Gendo (Michael Myers) has a really cool underground hideout with robots and guns and stuff. While there he meets Asuku Langley Soraya (Miranda Richardson), who is really into blowing stuff up, even though she's a girl. But even though he kind of likes Asuka, he really wants Rei Ayanami (Tina Fey) because she's a clone of his mom, and having it off with her would be like doing it with his mom. Sadly, Shinji's luck comes to a end when the Japanese Interior Ministry (not know for their efficiency or competence) finally figure out that Gendo is an Evil Genius, and send in Harry Dean Stanton. More stuff gets blown up, and people get killed.
On a Pale Horse
Submitted by Jon 68
Screenplay by Michael Crichton, as adapted from the Piers Anthony classic. Only a truly epic character actor can fully realise the inner turmoil of Zane, the man who's become the true Incarnation of Death, so for that role we have to stress, no one short of Zak Galifff... however you spell his name...
The other Incarnation would be filled out by a cast of truly epic proportions:
Murphy in a fat suit would play Chronos.
M Night Shamalamadingdong would portray Ares/WAR, in conjunction with his unique ability to do true justice and bring this to the screen as director.
Nature would be portrayed by a scantily clad Whoopi Goldberg. The three Fates, portrayed by Jewel, Paris Hilton, and Britney Spears.
The list goes on and on...
And in an interesting twist, Executive Producer Nicolas Cage (and primary funding source) is completely convinced the only way to accurately represent the deep emotions in the original novel is as a musical, with Skrillex providing the score.

Easy to make. My husband loved it!
May 27, 2016
I've been making this recipe for about 20 years now.. it's my husband's (and my family's) absolute favorite... the first time I made it for him he told me he knew for sure that I loved him... lol. Great recipe!
Jun 25, 2014
This is recipe that goes together quickly and can be on the table in well under an hour, so makes for a great weeknight meal. And it's a good "jumping off point" recipe--you can make adjustments to the ingredients and have a variety of tastes. Tonight, I didn't have sloppy joe sauce or mix, so I went with a more barbecue sauce--ketchup, bottled barbecue sauce, chili powder, onion and garlic powder, black pepper, and basil. I omitted the corn, just because that seemed odd to me in such a dense tomato-ey sauce, and I was out of cheddar cheese so I subbed an Italian blend. It was great! I think any thick tomato-based sauce would be good with the cornmealed-biscuit crust.
Dec 4, 2011
I altered this recipe to use what I had in my cupboard: I used the called for ground beef and onion, but I used canned sloppy joe mix and crushed tortilla chips instead of cornmeal. I also put the extra biscuit dough over the top of the meat mixture. Turned out great and my husband said this recipe is a "keeper."
Apr 6, 2011
This was quick and simple to make .. Loved the twist on bread into cornbread taste for pie crust. This was a good dish made as recipe calls for .. does need a little more umph! for my personal taste. My son and couple co-workers loved this as is ... does yield a large amount & doesn't take much of this hearty pie to fill up! Looking forward to making again and playing w/ingredients just a smidge!
Jul 12, 2010
Delicious and more filling than normal sloppy joes. Was even better tasting as leftovers! My friend who is a VERY picky eater even enjoyed this!
Feb 11, 2010
I'm sorry to say this wasn't enjoyed by my family when I made it in summer, 2009. I threw out the remainder.
