NEW YORK (AP) - Police say a Brooklyn man they long suspected of killing his brother in the Bronx three years ago has been charged with murder.
They say 25-year-old Gavin Williams was also charged Saturday with manslaughter and strangulation in the May 2011 death of Alex Williams.
Police say they found 18-year-old Alex Williams unconscious inside the bedroom of a Bronx Boulevard apartment. He was pronounced dead a short time later.
A police spokesman says they initially suspected Gavin Williams but needed time to build their case.

Like most kids I had my sports heroes. In the days before the internet and 24 hour sports channels on cable we mostly read about our heroes in the pages of Sports Illustrated, Sport and the Sporting News. And the daily newspaper, back when the sports section was stuffed with articles and columns. And the radio on an almost nightly basis. I followed the exploits of Hank Aaron and Carl Yazstremski...Bart Starr and Jimmy Taylor...Sweet Lou Hudson,Pistol Pete Maravich & The Big O. I don't remember when I stopped viewing these guys as some kind of perfect human specimen. maybe after I read the book "Ball Four" by former major league pitcher Jim Bouton. It blew the lid off the well kept secret that most of these guys were ordinary with the same human frailities as most of the population. Mickey Mantle was a drunken skirt-chaser who just happened to hit long home runs. We've come a long way from those innocent days and it seems that more and more the sports pages read like the police blotter on way too many days. The latest of course, is former Packer Darren Sharper who is accused of being a serial rapist. How many of you still have a Sharper jersey hanging in you closet? The sad thing is, when I heard the news it didnt shock me. We had a former Packer make an appearance for the radio station a number of years back and he invited one of our female sales people to join him in the mens room.
Since I've worked in this business I have been able to meet and interview a large number of professional athletes both current and retired and my advice to you (as much as it pains me to say it) is to stay away from the hero worship that is so much a part of sports. Many of these guys are stand up guys who are pillars of their communitys...but there are also a bunch you are complete assholes who use their money and fame to prey on those less powerful. Watch the games...enjoy the competition...but remember they guy who you are cheering today, could be the next guy to make an appearance on Americas Most Wanted
I heard on the radio this morning that the Oakland Raiders are considering signing Richie Incognitio to a contract. If there is room in an NFL locker room for Incognito and not Michael Sam, the message will be loud and clear.
What the hell is going on in the Big Ten mens basketball race. Wisconsin looked dead a few weeks ago and have now won four in a row...Nebraska beats Michigan State...the upsets continue to pile up...there is a long way to go before a conference champion will be crowned.
The Milwaukee Brewers begin workouts today in Maryvale. Look at the Central...the Reds and Pirates got worse...the Cubs are the Cubs...and the Cardinals have lineup questions. The Brewers got better with the signing of Matt Garza and with the healthy return of Braun and Ramirez I see no reason why they cant contend this year.
I'll be at the East gym tonight weather permitting for boys basketball as Oshkosh West comes to town...pre game at 7:15 on Foxsports Radio AM1390 & FM 93.9

13406 E. Philadelphia St. Whittier, CA 90608
Whittier College English majors graduate with a wide variety of opportunities before them. Recent alumni have completed advanced degrees at institutions that include:
Graduates of the program have gone on to successful careers as novelists, elementary or high-school teachers, college professors, technical writers, and travel writers, to name a few.
"As an academic, my Whittier education has been invaluable. I was trained to think holistically about my subjects and to take knowledge from any area of study that helps me see the world more clearly. This makes me a better researcher, a better writer, and a better thinker; it helps me make connections that disrupt and reconfigure my assumptions about the world and helps me resist the urge towards myopia and stasis." Read more.
"I knew I wanted to be a writer since elementary school. However, working with the professors of Whittier, taking creative writing courses, and courses that involved the modicum of creative writing, all prompted me to think outside the box and stretch the limits of my creativity. It helped me to really think about the sort of writer I wanted to be, and what method of writing worked for me, personally." Read more.

Acquisition expands GE Healthcare's Home Health business, will accelerate development of technologies for care of seniors
December 1st 2009 - Chalfont St. Giles, UK and New York, New York USA
GE Healthcare, a unit of General Electric Company (NYSE:GE), announced today that it has acquired Living Independently Group, Inc., the provider of QuietCare®, a passive monitoring system used to assist in the care of seniors. The acquisition follows the September 2008 announcement that GE Healthcare had acquired a minority ownership stake in Living Independently Group and that the two companies had agreed to market and co-develop the QuietCare technology globally. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Living Independently Group's product, QuietCare, is a passive activity monitoring system that uses wireless sensors to non-intrusively track the daily patterns of seniors' activities. QuietCare alerts caregivers to behavioral changes that may signal potential health issues or emergency situations, allowing earlier intervention. QuietCare is used in many leading assisted living facilities and senior communities across the United States. GE Healthcare is a world-class provider of advanced technologies for patient monitoring and the diagnosis of disease. The strategic fit between the two businesses, combined with expanded capabilities in product development and marketing, will offer significant long-term customer benefits. In September 2009, QuietCare was independently accredited as a "Healthymagination product", under GE's Healthymagination initiative to increase access, reduce cost and increase quality in healthcare delivery.
"We're very excited about expanding our Home Health business through this acquisition. Since entering into a strategic relationship with Living Independently Group, we've seen that combining the vision and talent of our two companies is helping accelerate the development of new technologies for the care of seniors. Increasing pressure on healthcare budgets worldwide, coupled with demographic changes such as the growing aging population, present enormous healthcare challenges in the care of seniors and the management of patients with chronic disease. The technologies developed by Living Independently Group are ideally placed to help meet these challenges globally. They're also a great fit with our vision of helping people to live longer, healthier and higher quality lives," said Agnes Berzsenyi, General Manager of GE Healthcare's Home Health business.
GE Healthcare has made significant investments in its Home Health business over the past year. In November 2008 the company announced it was leading a consortium of Hungarian companies and universities to develop remote monitoring technologies for seniors and patients with chronic diseases. In April 2009, GE Healthcare and Intel announced an alliance to invest $250 million in the development of new technologies to assist independent living for seniors and patients with chronic diseases. GE Healthcare also markets the Intel® Health Guide in the United States.

Here's the Phillies' spring training roster.
This article says the Phillies' are no closer to signing Kris Benson, but that adding Benson is far more likely than adding Lohse.
This reminds that Ruiz hit 17 home runs at Double-A in 2004 and 16 at Triple-A in 2005 and could see a boost in his power numbers this season. He also slugged .505 at Triple-A in 2006.
Charlie Manuel is losing weight and thinks the Phils could have a "big bullpen." Assuming big is of the good family in this context, I'm not really seeing that one. But I hope he's right. I do agree that the "freakin' Mets" got better.
This article lists Mathieson, Castro, Blackley, Snelling and Rosario as five guys battling for a job this spring. My guess would be that Castro has the best shot of the guys in that group.
The Mets signed Tony Armas, Jr to a minor league contract.

superhero sandwich: captain america
superhero sandwich: thor and loki
superhero sandwich: loki
I admit I painted Thor in part because I really, really wanted to paint Loki.
It's not just Tom Hiddleston's glorious face (although, obviously, that's not an insignificant part of it), or the fact that since I'm not that into long-haired blondes, Loki is my default option. I don't necessarily have a thing for supervillains who enjoy murdering dozens of people or have delusions of ruling the world (but I could, because, well, Tom Hiddleston). I love Loki because I can selfishly empathize with the guy. I bet we could finish each other's sentences. Really. I mean, as long as they were about being the younger, less charismatic child, all-star, golden-boy siblings, and parents with high expectations.
I understand that's the whole point. The Successful Superhero always has flaws that we fall in love with as we watch them save The Girl or Humanity or The World. I remember flipping through my sister's X-Men, Superman, and her Image Comics collection, searching for the empathetic, smoking hot, female superhero. I would have liked for it to have been Jean Gray, Rogue, or Witchblade. Marrow was the only one that came close.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised that I found my identity – nearly two decades later – most closely tied to a jealous, supervillain space Viking. We can't all be perfect. Loki would probably agree.
[I know I kind of screwed this one up because his hair obviously isn't dark enough...but hey, that just means I get to paint him again, right?]

Got stuck in Asgard for a bit. Convinced Stringer Bell to let me go back to Earth in exchange for a couple of portraits.
spreading the love: lucas user
At a massive group dinner in Paris that included most of Sram and some of People for Bikes, I met Ryan van Duzer. Between talking about Japan and eating cured meats, I showed him my Instagram feed and what I'd been up to for most of the year. He seemed impressed. And because I have a hard time understanding why anything I do would be noteworthy, I was confused and flattered.
So when he suggested I paint Lucas Euser - "he's a really nice guy," Ryan said - I wrote it down. Because Ryan's a nice guy, and even though I am fully aware that nice guys can have dick friends, I like to keep hope alive. So I Googled. I Instagram-stalked. I prepared a plate.
It was supposed to be fairly simple, with just a little shading. It was supposed to be my "reward" for wading through a portrait that was supposed to be finished last week but got washed down the drain instead. Instead, I spent twelve hours on Lucas' face, and came up with this.
Thanks, Ryan for the suggestion. And thanks Lucas, for having a pretty nice face.

Attorney General Cuccinelli appeals to U.S. Supreme Court to uphold Virginia law used to prosecute child predators
~If court does not intervene, nearly 90 sexual predators could be dropped from sex offender registry~
** Below:
- Quotes from commonwealth's attorneys about the need for the law
- Contact info for commonwealth's attorneys who can speak to the issue
- Numbers of sexual predators by region to be removed from Virginia's sex offender registry
- The petition to the U.S. Supreme Court
RICHMOND (June 25, 2013) - Today, Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli filed an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court to save a tool law enforcers use regularly to prosecute child predators - Virginia's anti-sodomy law.
Cuccinelli is appealing the two-to-one March 2013 decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit in MacDonald v. Moose. William Scott MacDonald was 47 when he was convicted in 2005 of soliciting oral sex from a minor female. This was his second offense with a minor. The Fourth Circuit's March decision effectively struck down the Virginia law that was used to prosecute him. If the decision is allowed to stand, MacDonald will be released from probation; in addition, nearly 90 sexual predators may be eligible to be dropped from Virginia's sex offender registry.
Judge Albert Diaz, a 2009 Obama appointee, dissented from the Fourth Circuit's decision.
"The Fourth Circuit's decision threatens to undo convictions of child predators that were obtained under this law after 2003. It also takes away an important tool that prosecutors use to put child molesters in jail," Cuccinelli said."This has very real implications for public safety. If the Supreme Court doesn't overturn the Fourth Circuit's decision, nearly 90 sexual predators may be eligible to have their names removed from Virginia's sex offender registry."
"As we said when the Fourth Circuit rendered its decision in March, this has nothing to do with sexual orientation or private acts between consenting adults. In fact, the law can't be used for those purposes. This case is about using current law to protect a minor from a 47 year-old repeat sexual predator," said Cuccinelli. "Prosecutors use this important tool to obtain felony charges against adults who commit or solicit this sex act with minors. The law is only applied to offenses committed against minors, against non-consenting or incapacitated adults, or in public. It is not - and cannot be -- used against consenting adults acting in private."
The attorney general's petition to the Supreme Court notes that the Fourth Circuit's decision conflicts with decisions of other federal and state courts and is based on a flawed interpretation of the 2003 U.S. Supreme Court decision in Lawrence v. Texas. In the Lawrence ruling, the Supreme Court held that Texas's law was unconstitutional as it applied to consenting adults in private. The court expressly noted that its decision did not speak to nonconsensual or public acts, or those acts committed against minors. In the Moose case, the Fourth Circuit ruled that even though the Supreme Court only ruled on one aspect of the law, Virginia's law should be stricken in its entirety.
Virginia courts have ruled that Virginia's law still can be constitutionally applied in cases involving minors. Judge Diaz dissented in the Moose decision, noting that Virginia courts' decisions were entitled to deference in habeas cases such as the Moose case.
Support from commonwealth's attorneys and children's advocate:
Louisa County Commonwealth's Attorney Rusty McGuire:
"The Fourth Circuit's Moose decision puts tools prosecutors need to protect children in jeopardy."
In a May 20, 2013, Richmond Times-Dispatch letter to the editor, McGuire wrote, "Should 47-year-old men be allowed to sexually prey on minors? Of course not - but a few months ago, a federal court overturned a Virginia law to prevent this behavior in MacDonald v. Moose. Without the intervention of the Supreme Court of the United States, a predator will go free. Numerous other laws to protect children are in jeopardy because they rely on the stricken statute. Already, an Internet predator is using the federal case to challenge his conviction in the Virginia Court of Appeals. Not only did the federal opinion overturn Virginia law, but the opinion directly contradicts decisions of Virginia courts that ruled that it is appropriate to prosecute predators under the stricken statute."
Dinwiddie County Commonwealth's Attorney Lisa Caruso:
"Undoubtedly, cases of this nature are horrific and devastating to the victims and their families. Accordingly, it is essential that the Supreme Court clarify the law. As a mother and a prosecutor, I've been using this law to protect minors from predatory adults, and it would be a travesty for this tool to no longer be available to prosecutors to keep our children safe."
Virginia Beach Commonwealth's Attorney Harvey Bryant:
"In the last three years, law enforcement in Virginia`s largest city has used this code section and code sections linked to it 60 times against child sexual predators. This particularly egregious sexual crime against our children will go unpunished unless the Fourth Circuit decision is overturned. All those who care about deterring and punishing predators who pursue our children must support this appeal to the Supreme Court."
Camille Cooper, director of legislative affairs, National Association to PROTECT Children:
"At the heart of the defendant's appeal is an effort to legalize sex acts between adults and children. A crime against a child is still a crime against a child despite what MacDonald and his supporters would have the court believe. For the Fourth Circuit, an inability to distinguish between consensual adult-adult sex and a sex crime committed against a child by an adult is outrageous. For Virginia's children, the result of this case is catastrophic."
These commonwealth's attorneys are willing to speak to the media about how they use Virginia's law to prosecute child predators:

Configuring Bluetooth printing in Linux
Even if your printer vendor doesn't advertise Linux Bluetooth support, there are a few tools that may help you set up your Linux system for Bluetooth printing.
My initial search for a Linux Bluetooth print driver took me to Google and a number of Internet sites. Unfortunately, the drivers I found were several years old, and the documentation included references to "supported" hardware that was no longer even produced. Searching for Bluetooth printers and related hardware brought up quite a few devices, and all of them naturally came with Windows drivers, but none of the devices specifically advertised Linux drivers.
If you read the documentation from printer vendors, you might wonder whether Linux is totally excluded from the world of Bluetooth printing. Luckily, the Linux community has already forged its own solutions to the problems of
Bluetooth printing. This article describes some of the tools you'll need to configure Bluetooth printing in Linux.

The DeKalb County chapter of the NAACP is weighing in on the county's school board controversy.
A federal judge is expected to rule Friday whether Governor Nathan Deal's suspension of six DeKalb County School Board members is unconstitutional, as their lawsuit claims.
Civil rights activists declared their objection to the suspension of six school board members Thursday at the Georgia state Capitol.
"This is about civil and human rights, the right to vote. Some folks can't see it, but it is," said John Evans, the president of the NAACP DeKalb County branch.
Evans says it's about the rights of DeKalb County voters.
"The people should be able to take them out when they want to take them out," Evans said.
Evans calls the state law that gives the governor the power to suspend the elected officials unconstitutional, as the board's federal lawsuit claims.
"Well, if you look at it technically because the voters put them in, the voters are not taking them out," said David Schutten, the president of the Organization of DeKalb Educators.
Schutten says board members put the education of thousands of DeKalb County students in jeopardy when they were placed on probation by the accreditation agency SACS.
"In my mind, the loss of accreditation is far more important than anything else at this point. I think that people need to do the right thing," Schutten said.
Schutten thinks the embattled board members should resign, but Evans says protecting the rights of voters is in the children's best interest.
"It won't be us, it will be them who will not be able to benefit by the gains and the strides that we've had in the past if this kind of oppression is placed before us," Evans said.
The DeKalb NAACP has notified its national office that it wants to file a complaint with the U.S. Justice Department over the suspension of the DeKalb County School Board members.

Time is the biggest reason I hear keeping teachers from trying new methods in the classroom. There's not enough time to create new WebQuests, organize cooperative groups, or set up a wiki. A teacher's times is occupied with deadlines, grade level expectations, behavior issues, parent phone calls…The list goes on and on. There isn't enough…well….time to list all the things teachers have to do.
Time might be the most valuable thing educators have (or don't have enough of). We hoard it. We covet more. There just never is enough.
For this reason, we should value the time we have and choose the instructional methods that will best meet our students' needs. Cooperative learning, inquiry-based teaching, community building, and even our own eMINTS instructional model have research that suggest these are the best ways to use the limited time we have with our students. So, why won't we commit to using our time more wisely? When will we commit to working smarter and not harder (or smarter and harder)?
It seems the answer to our time conundrum is to make the leap from traditional forms of teaching to pedagogy that is research-based and effective. Our time can be used more wisely to achieve the effects we desire. Replacing traditional methods in order to teach non-traditional students is the best way to use our limited time with students.
Besides, we would have more time if we didn't spend so much of it running off copies of another worksheet, writing long lectures, or dealing with the same discipline problems over and over again. It's time to accept the research and reallocate our time toward truly effective teaching practices like those found in the eMINTS instructional model.
Zac Early is an instructional specialist with the eMINTS National Center and appreciates the time you spend reading Networked Teaching & Learning.

KALAMAZOO (WKZO) -- Although candidates participating in a political debate practice extensively before they have to appear, they typically are expected to be extemporaneous; somewhat "off the cuff."
That's where the challenges can be, according to public speaking and political science experts.
Republican GOP nominee Mitt Romney, in trying to illustrate he is interested in making sure women are well represented statistically in the workplace, referred to his tenure as governor of Massachusetts. Romney said he appealed to women's groups and associations in an attempt to encourage female applicants for various positions, and they came back with "binders of women" as possible applicants.
The remark exploded on social media, as Americans responded to various aspects of the debate.
Western Michigan University Associate Professor of Political Science Peter Wielhouwer tells WKZO the results are mixed.
"It was a reasonable answer and I think it actually may have helped him overall with women, with whom he has a problem in the polling," Wielhouwer said. "But the word choice...was very awkward."
Wielhouwer said the remark underscores the importance of debates - and that word choice might be nearly as important as the actual message a speaker is trying to convey.

As a District-5 representative, De Martini has been a regional leader of the West Side for nearly a decade through his farming and government efforts within Stanislaus County. His district-wide representation is bordered within Crows Landing, Grayson, Westley, the City of Patterson, the City of Newman and portions of the City of Ceres.
DeMartini said it was accustomed for the board to rotate the position of Chairman every year in order to promote stability throughout the different districts within Stanislaus County. As Chairman, DeMartini will regulate weekly meetings for the Board of Supervisors, as well as moderate controversial issues should they escalate during those respective meetings.
"Wherever you go, the chairman represents the county, and you need to keep that in mind at all times," said DeMartini. "You have to run an orderly meeting and be sure that everyone who wants a chance to speak will have a fair chance at being heard. We have a fair policy for everything."
DeMartini will also act as a representative of Stanislaus County while visiting other counties, committees, or districts outside Stanislaus, and will provide a County-wide State of Address on Jan. 28. On Monday, he proposed that his speech would encompass the need for a county-wide property sales tax for county roads, and the need for a priority spending plan. Most importantly, DeMartini also relayed that his main concern for 2014 was to see county and city-wide relationships strengthen over the course of the year.
"That is really where our focus needs to be," said De Martini. "We have to work together if we are ever going to have a transportation text."
Big plans are also in the works for the community's West Side, which De Martini attributed to Crows Landing's formal Navy Air Base, which he hopes to see become an airport and industrial park with more than one developer in the works.
DeMartini has a long history in farming and includes more than 1,000 acres of farmland in which he grows walnuts, peaches, grapes, and almonds. He has also served on a number of committees, including the Airport Advisory Committee; Agricultural Advisory Board; Alternate on the CSAC Board of Directors; Central San Joaquin Valley Foreign-Trade Zone Advisory Board; Economic Development Action Committee; Emergency Medical Services Board of Directors; General Plan Update Committee; Local Agency Formation Committee (LAFCO); Retirement Board; San Joaquin Valley Supervisors Board of Directors; San Joaquin Valley Supervisors Endangered Species Committee and the Stanislaus County Disaster Council. He is also a member of the Stanislaus County Farm Bureau, and the Ceres, Newman and Patterson Chamber of Commerce.

ExxonMobil Tops Apple Again
Mark is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
January 25, marked a change at the top of the market cap rankings. The oil and gas giant ExxonMobil (NYSE: XOM) ($218 billion) surpassed tech titan Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) ($213 billion) as the result of the steep (and continuing) drop off in the stock price of the iconic maker of iPhones, iPads and iPods. Apple had held the top spot for exactly one year. The two companies traded positions at numbers one and two several times during 2011.
Apple and ExxonMobil are also the two most profitable companies in America.
Since announcing the first iPhone model in 2007 Apple's market cap increased by a factor of 6:1 before the recent sell off. It is still up by nearly 300%. Over the same time period the market cap of ExxonMobil actually dropped by about 10%.
Apple announced their quarterly results earlier in the week. While revenue was up, analysts expectations for more growth were not realized. And earnings, although falling slightly on a year-over-year basis, beat the Street. The number of iPhones sold was significantly higher than during the same period last year. Sales of iPads doubled. However, probably the most disconcerting news for investors was the relatively low (even for Apple) guidance that the company projected going forward.
Is this the end of the Apple bull run? All of the recent information indicates that the company is in a transitional period away from very high (60% EPS growth is hard to achieve over a long period of time) to somewhat slower growth going forward.
ExxonMobil is expected to announce earnings on Feb. 1. The consensus estimate is for EPS to have grown by about 2.5% and then accelerate to 8% in each of the next two years. The company has a lot going for it. It generates mountains of cash and has little debt. It pays a dividend of $2.28 (yielding about 2.5%) and has increased it every year for more than 25 consecutive years, making it a member of the Dividend Aristocrats. It is poised to take advantage of the oil and natural gas revolution taking place in North America.
The top two have a huge lead over the next group on the market cap list. In fact the value that Apple has lost in the last 4 months is bigger than any other company's total market cap today, except ExxonMobil. The amount, about $249 billion, is even bigger than the GDP of many countries.
At number three in the rankings at $248 billion is the Internet search pioneer Google (NASDAQ: GOOG). The company didn't even show up on any market cap rankings until its IPO in August 2004. Its value was actually about double that of Apple at the time. Apple first surpassed Google in 2009, just before the iPad debuted.
Google announced their latest results in the same week that Apple disappointed. It seems to have reversed a trend and is on the road to recovery from a lull last year. EPS increased by only 5%, but investors were delighted. The stock got a 7% bump after the announcement.
Just below Google on the list is Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK-A) (NYSE: BRK-B) with a valuation of $243 billion. The holding company for such diverse businesses as railroads, utilities, manufacturing and insurance is led by the world's most successful investor and one of the richest people on earth, Warren Buffett.
The company is expected to grown earnings by about 8% during the upcoming fiscal year according to the consensus. However, that is a big drop over the previous year's gain of 23%. Berkshire recently announced plans to buy back some of its own stock from the estate of a large investor, a practice it usually does only under favorable conditions. Mr. Buffett is typically very careful in this area.
So can Apple overtake ExxonMobil (again) at the top of the rankings? It probably will take some sort of catalyst like a share buyback, a dividend increase or a revolutionary new product. However, I'm betting that these two behemoths will continue to battle it out for the title for some time to come.

Lemelson-MIT Invention Index
In January 2011, the Lemelson-MIT Program, a nonprofit program at MIT's School of Engineering that celebrates and recognizes innovators, charged Cone with conducting its annual Invention Index, which measures Americans' perceptions of invention, and spreading the word about the survey findings through a full media relations campaign.
Program Elements
Cone conducted a survey among teens to uncover their attitudes toward STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) and invention. The media relations campaign objectives included:
- Position Lemelson-MIT Program as a thought leader and authority on the invention climate in America, technological invention and fostering youth inventiveness
- Elevate importance of invention and hands-on learning
- Increase awareness of the Lemelson-MIT Program's mission of celebrating innovation and inspiring youth
In fewer than three months, Cone's campaign garnered more than 200MM impressions including coverage from Discovery, Huffington Post, Mashable and TIME, motivating a number of individuals and groups to learn about the importance of invention. Media reception was positive in tone on both the national and local levels, and almost all articles on the Invention Index included Lemelson-MIT Program key messages, survey themes and data points, and the infographic developed by Cone's Creative Services team. The Invention Index is a frequent topic of conversation among the STEM community, reporters and potential collaborators. In 2009, the Lemelson-MIT Invention Index program was the recipient of the PR News NonProfit Award for best Media Relations Campaign.

Tracers: The Great Al Arbour
This is Al Arbour. How a man could play NHL hockey looking exactly like my Grade 10 Science teacher (hi, Mr. Lloyd) is beyond me but he did it.
He played with those things. I mean it's completely unbelieveable except that he did, for many years. LOOK at the EYES. He must have had the poorest eyesight in the history of the game to that point (Andre Racicot was still to come).
In a thread below, Rube Foster posted this:
Oh man you just gotta love those guys from the original six era who were obviously very good hockey players but for what ever reason missed their window of opportunity and never quite got a full run in the show.
I don't think people today truly understand how daunting it was to crack an NHL line-up back in the original six days. From 1958 till the 1970 the Montreal Canadians had the trio of Jean Beliveau, Henri Richard and Ralph Backstrom playing center. Can you imagine the generation of talent that got stuck playing behind those guys?
You can add Larry "The Rock" Zeidel, and probably even a guy like Don Cherry to the long list of very, very good "Jason Smith" type of defensemen who were never quite flashy enough or in the right place at the right the time to establish a career in the original six. I never saw those guys play but I've heard of their reputations and they always struck me as Ed Van Impe kind of guys. Expansion came to the NHL just in time for Evil Ed.
There's not a word out of place by Rube there, so I posted all of it. His examples are excellent, and I'll add one more. Al Arbour. Arbour imo is the ultimate example of exceptional players who spent the heart (or close to) of their careers in the minor leagues and lost much of what should have been a major league career to the 6-team era.
At age 20, Al Arbour spent half a season with the Detroit Red Wings (53-54). He didn't play in the post season, mostly because the team was a stunner, one of the long forgotten "greatest teams ever." They won the Stanley, beginning a long run of winning teams for Arbour. Like the great Reggie Smith, it has gone pretty much unnoticed by fans. Aside from Gordie and Ted Lindsay and Alex Delvecchio up front, the blueline boasted Red Kelly, Marcel Pronovost and Bob Goldham, all outstanding defensemen at that time. Arbour struggled through the 50s to crack that deep Red Wing roster, spending time in the WHL (was on the 2nd All Star team representing the Edmonton Flyers, 54-55).
He finally played a full season with the Red Wings in 57-58. In those days the NHL made every effort to improve poor clubs through the Intra League draft (playoff teams could protect only 16 players, non-playoff teams 18). That's how Chicago got Al Arbour in the summer of 1958, and they played him as a regular for three seasons, highlighted by a tremendous run to the Stanley in 1961 (old timers often say the SC semifinal that season between the Hawks and MTL was the greatest ever. Habs coach Toe Blake was pretty pissed, so it must have been a good one). Arbour on a championship team again, this time a team that had very little pedigree (but a lot of emerging talent).
That summer, fate dealt him a cruel blow as the same Intra League draft saw Arbour get picked up by the emerging Toronto Maple Leafs. It was unfortunate because the Leafs had so much depth Arbour would spend much of the 60s in the minor leagues. He was an NHL regular in 1961-62 though and won the Cup again that spring, this time with the Leafs.
Toronto picked up Kent Douglas that summer, and he won the Calder. Arbour? Back in the AHL although fully qualified to play in the show, he began a run of post-season awards in the AHL:
- AHL First All Star Team (1963, 1964, 1966)
- Won Eddie Shore Award (Outstanding Defenceman, AHL) 1965
Toronto kept protecting him in the Intra League draft and then burying him in the minors. Rochester won a couple of championships in those years, and they probably would have been an outstanding expansion team had they gone as a group to the NHL.
The expansion draft came in 1967, and Al Arbour was among the first picks (by St. Louis). He quickly became the captain and on-ice leader, and after helping them to three straight finals he retired as a player to become coach of the Blues, October 10 1971.
Al Arbour was known as a smart hockey player, a leader and a top quality defenseman. He represents well all those players Rube Foster was talking about: several generations of men who were major league quality but due to the 6-team era played their games in Rochester, in Cleveland, in San Diego.
Arbour's Championships
- Won Stanley Cup: Player 1961, 1962, 1964.
- Won Stanley Cup: Coach 1980, 1981, 1982, 1983.
- WHL champions 1952-53.
- Calder Trophy (AHL champs) 1965, 1966.

The world demanded it and the good people at Universal answered our prayers. I speak of course about "Death Race 3". While nothing has been confirmed there's word around campus that Paul W.S. Anderson will be writing the script for part 3 and Danny Trejo will return. Tanit Phoenix will also be back and that's exciting for all of us because according to IMDB she's played a stripper in about 8 movies and starred in something called "Kamasutra Nights". Let the Oscar buzz begin!
This afternoon I was down at the Manhole for lunch and the rumors flying around there are that none other than Paul Walker, Texas Ranger is in talks to play Kyle Reese in the much anticipated "Terminator 5". Of course that's not his real name but it would be awesome if it was. Anyway Justin Lin, who directed Walker in the last "Fast & Furious" movie is set to direct... I trust my fellow foodies down at The Manhole on this one. The lunch buffet is delicious, don't judge.
Years before Peter Jackson directed a 38 hour trilogy he directed a movie I actually liked called "The Frighteners" starring Michael J. Fox. And while three films that spawned a million pornos have been released in countless formats sadly "The Frighteners" has yet to make its way to Blu-Ray. Well good news kids, come September 13th you can get your grubby little mits on the flick with tons of special features and 0 wizards. Alright in all fairness the porn parodies are pretty decent. The visuals, you wouldn't believe!
Pultizer Prize winning playwright David Lindsay-Abaire is being taken out for a lovely steak dinner by the people at MGM in the hopes that he will write the much discussed "Poltergeist" remake. No word on if he'll accept but if he orders dessert it's pretty much understood he has to, especially if it's the 3rd date.
A 48 year old father in Memphis is under arrest after threatening the host of a birthday party with a gun because she didn't save any ice cream and cake for his kids. Which is stressful for a number of reasons, namely that now I have to add a gun to the list of things I need to buy before I become a parent.
Let this be a lesson to all of you out there. If you're going to bite your girlfriend's ear off during an argument make sure your dentures are in securely. Because this guy in South Carolina who went a bite-in' and lost his chompers must have felt like a real prick when he had to explain the whole thing to a judge.
So last week, I made the suggestion that I was Santana and BGH was Rob Thomas. This was met with derision, of course. I did enjoy the suggestion of me being Michael McDonald and BGH being James Ingram, but, of course, most of you have no idea who either of those guys are because they aren't on Roadrunner. OK, so let's try this: I am Jimmy Buffett and BGH are a large group of middle-aged yuppies who come to my concert to forget their workaday lives of strife. Fins to the left, gang!
Because we did it so well the first time, it looks like Legendary Pictures are in talks to bring back an Americanized version of "Godzilla". While this news is quite maddening, what's really aggravating is how every movie news outlet that has picked up the story has used the headline "GODZILLA ROARS AGAIN!". Seriously, guys? Maybe I expect too much for a guy with the moniker of "Mr. Disgusting".
So, if the "Godzilla" news didn't screw up your morning, well, here you go: MGM has put the remake of "Poltergeist" on the fast track. Here's to hoping that the new Carol Anne lives to be 13!
Even though the movie won't be ready for another 37 years, Universal has released some new stills for The Wolfman. Is it just me or does Benicio Del Toro look like a cross between an almost transformed werewolf and Jet Li?
Is it weird that I've jerked-off to this video twice now?
A South Korean biotechnology firm is opening a "dog cloning center". Suspiciously, the center is named "Super Happy #1 Buffet", so I am suspicious of their intentions...
Remember that Will Smith song "Miami"? That was a great song. You know, now that I think about it, the whole "Big Willie Style" album was pretty good. Either way, some chick in Miami set herself on fire and continue to mosey through a mall. I guess you could say she was "Gettin' Flammable Wit' It!" Na,na, na, na, na, na!

Remember how the acclaimed Swedish vampire film "Let The Right One In" was just released on DVD? Thanks to some sleuthing over at Icons of Fright, it was discovered that the subtitles have been almost criminally changed from the original English subs on the Swedish DVD. The cumulative result, as the writer puts it, could be construed as a "dumbing down" or "watering down" of the subtlety and strange dark humor of the film. At the link, an exhaustive description of the changes including screen caps to illustrate the point.
Producers speak on both remakes of "The Birds" and "Poltergeist". They seem to have a healthy respect for the originals, so I'll at least give these a shot, even if neither one really needs a reboot.
Here's a naughty still from Lars Von Trier's "Antichrist", which is about to make its debut at Cannes. The psychological horror film stars Willem Dafoe and is about a couple who retreat to a cabin in the woods following the death of their child.

CSU policy requires that all study abroad students be insured. Therefore, all IP participants are covered by Accident and Sickness Insurance for CSU Students Studying Abroad, included in your IP program costs.
This insurance is only valid outside the US and is considered a primary medical policy. This means that if you have other insurance coverage with another company outside of IP (e.g. through your parents) the IP insurance carrier is your primary coverage. Carefully study the policy limitations and exclusions provided in the brochure. This policy only covers illnesses associated with pre-existing conditions up to $1,000. For details regarding coverage of medicines or drugs prescribed for outpatient treatment, please refer to the brochure. The policy includes a major medical provsion with a $0 deductible, and an accidental death benefit. We should also mention that many of the host countries require students to purchase local coverage, which provides students with additional coverage.
Please Note: The CSU policy can pay for covered expenses upfront ONLY IF you contact Europ Assistance USA (through ACE travel assistance) at (202) 659-7803 (call collect) and a case is opened for you. If a case number is not provided, you will need to pay for any service or medicine up front and file a claim later.
The required insurance goes into effect the day before you are asked to arrive overseas and remains in effect as long as you are enrolled in classes with IP. No insurance premium refund is given once you depart the US for your study center. If you withdraw or are disenrolled from IP prior to the end of the academic year, you forfeit participation in the health and accident insurance plan effective on the date of withdrawal as established by OIP. Although the health insurance coverage has proven adequate for most IP participants, it is not a comprehensive policy. You should carry your insurance card with you at all times.

Governor Proclaims Wildlife And Sport Fish Restoration Day
PIERRE, S.D. - Gov. Dennis Daugaard has issued an executive proclamation dedicating Saturday, Oct. 20, 2012, as Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Day in South Dakota.
The proclamation honors the 75th anniversary of the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Program and highlights the federal money derived from the program that helps fund wildlife and fish management in South Dakota.
"I think it is appropriate to pay homage to this incredible program on the opening day of South Dakota's traditional pheasant season," Gov. Daugaard said. "South Dakota has some of the finest hunting, and fishing found in the United States and throughout our state's history, hunters and anglers have provided most all of the funds that support management of our state's fish and wildlife resources. This source of federal funding related to hunting and fishing provides additional money and greatly enhances our work."
The Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Program was started in 1937 when Congress, working in cooperation with sportsmen and sporting goods-related businesses, instituted a hunting equipment excise tax paid by manufacturers. A similar tax on fishing equipment was added in 1950. Since its inception, more than $13 billion has been distributed to state game and fish agencies across the nation to help fund management programs.
South Dakota received more than $10.8 million in federal aid last year from the program, which comprised about 22 percent of the Game, Fish and Parks Department operating budget.
"If you've ever purchased firearms or ammunition, bows, arrows, fishing lures, rods and reels, hunting or fishing licenses, you're part of the most successful effort to conserve fish and wildlife in America," Gov. Daugaard said. "The effort has resulted in millions of acres of habitat saved and near-miraculous recoveries of many populations of game and sport fish. We enjoy many hunting, fishing, and wildlife-related recreational opportunities in South Dakota thanks to 75 years of the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration programs."

It's a story that's stirring up controversy. Now, the head of a local police union is calling for a Tucson City Council member's top staffer to resign after arrest.
Councilman Paul Cunningham released an e-mail on Friday evening in which his staffer, Katie Bolger says she apologized to the chief of police two days after getting arrested for obstructing a roadway. But, the Tucson Police Officers Association President says that's not good enough and he still wants her to step down.
Bolger, Cunningham's chief of staff, is seen on video cussing and chastising officers during her arrest. Now Bill Bonanno, the Tucson Police Officers Association President, is calling for her resignation.
"The way she went about it, throwing her title into the whole mix. Me as a police officer, I would potentially lose my job," Bonanno said.
Cunningham says Bolger, whom he calls a friend and employee, made a bad judgment call.
As a former probation officer, as a recovering alcoholic, I just believe in second chances," Cunningham said in a statement. "I know Katie used poor judgment. She definitely acted unprofessionally."
The police officers union wants a public apology. In an e-mail Tucson News Now obtained from Cunningham, Bolger writes she called Tucson Police Chief, Roberto Villasenor two days after the incident and apologized.
She goes on to say she did not want to make her statement to the chief public after it hit the press because she felt it would seem insincere after the fact.
"She's been a 3-year employee. We've never had any other incident," said Cunningham.
Bonanno says he's received e-mails from council members of other districts saying they would have handled the situation much differently.
"I think it's really easy to say what you'd do or would've done if it wasn't happening to you," said Cunningham.
Cunningham says Bolger has taken some time off work and he is taking steps to address the issue internally and does not plan on firing her.

Tallulah, like so many other little ballerinas is longing to toe shoes, the kind that real ballerinas wear when they dance on pointe. Not content to wait, as everyone tries to tell her she must, she takes home a pair of discarded slippers and makes some sad discoveries. Unlike so many ballet stories, this one ends on a hopeful note with a nod to the bigger idea that some things you have to wait for and can't happen instantly.

Good fun here with an optical illusion that goes from duck to rabbit�depending on how you look at it. This is both a funny idea and one that also introduces a big idea about the eye of the beholder. It starts out as a funny little argument and ends on the possibility that other�s point of view just might be true. A big idea! 3 & up.

We need this just to work locally.
The app seems like the remote DVR, where it goes out to Verizon servers and then back you your STB. Why not IP to the router Wifi and then directly to the box. Not to Verizon and back to a gateway not found error. Or STB/DVR not communicating.
Just like the PC remote program that I asked for that could be loaded on your work station or laptop that uses Wifi or hardwired ethernet and would be direct from your computer to the STB or DVR. A user could sit at the couch and do searches with a full size PC, or laptop size keyboard. This would even take load off of the Verizon servers.
Why should Wifi not have a local connect feature where it does not require to be routed through Verizon's servers?
If WiFi is the standard for you, make it work without going out to the Verizon network and back. I tried my iPhone and it did not work without connecting to the verizon network, even though I entered the correct number provided on the screen.
All the apps or programs act like your are tring to do everything from outside your house from another State. NO it should be a simple thing for it to go IP through the router straight to the box. All you would need for the local option is to add the STB ID number and code to scan the local network for the ID. Bing you have it and everyone that wants a local RF remote would have it with just a tweek of your code.
Not part of your media software, but the remote software offered for the phones that could be used via wifi. And if possible the same program compiled for a PC..
This would also allow you to have two boxes sitting side by side and controlled seperately. Where the IR remote does not.
Update. As long as your Remote DVR works, your WiFi Remote works. My Remote DVR is now working, and so is my Wifi Remote.
But the Wifi remote should work regardlesss! It is local, or should be. Thus make the remote feature local just like the IR remote, but just through the router wireless port. The schedule is in the STB and DVR, so why load up the servers with WiFi traffic? I can understand if you are away from home, but the software should see if it is a local connection. Hey I am on the same network as the DVR, I can be faster!!! Smart Wifi Remote.
I know it probably makes to much since and does not fit into Verizon's marketing ideas.

The Nissan Murano SUV is scheduled to be built at Nissan's St. Petersburg production facility in Russia, the Japanese automaker recently announced.
This is good news for Nissan and the employment line in the St. Petersburg plant, which will see an increase in job opportunities sometime in June to accommodate the impending production start of the Murano sometime in 2011. According to Nissan, the decision to produce the Murano SUV in St. Petersburg, which will then be sold exclusively in Russia, will result in a spike in employment from 850 employees to about 1,450 employees. In addition to that, Nissan is planning to add a second shift to expedite the production of all the models being built in St. Petersburg.
As it stands, Nissan has sold around 9,000 Muranos in Russia since the SUV made its debut in the country a little over four years ago and with the production of the car being done in local soil, the company expects to see an upswing in sales in the near future.

New directions in Linux driver management
We have a long way to go before you can insert a new device and have reliable driver discovery, but we'll likely get there in the end. Many people are enthusiastic about the recent developments in driver support. Others worry that these efforts will make it easier for proprietary drivers, or that developers won't have a motivation to get their third-party drivers into the official Linux kernel.
To a certain extent, it is true that such processes will make life easier for those who don't want to play by the established rules of the Linux community, but then, there's no guarantee that they were interested in playing by the rules in the first place. All these efforts offer a means to eliminate binary drivers without placing the onus on the end user.
You might wonder why obtaining and installing drivers is so difficult on Linux, when on Windows and Mac systems it is simply a matter of dropping in a single driver file. The difference is that both Microsoft and Apple have driver development "models," complete with standardized APIs, that allow a developer to write the driver using a kernel interface that will not change. Microsoft calls this the "Windows Driver Model" (WDM). If you have ever used a Microsoft Windows system, you have perhaps seen drivers listed in the Windows Device Manager as being "WDM." There is no equivalent "Linux Driver Model."
Driver development models and APIs are a double-edged sword. On the one hand, they can be great for users who need to install drivers from third-party sources without worrying about their compatibility. Microsoft even has a driver signing program that allows developers to submit their drivers for official certification by Microsoft. Signed drivers will install without any kind of warning and be trusted by Windows to play by the rules. But in return for this driver interface, Microsoft is tied into supporting a "stable" kernel API for a number of years, which in reality means almost indefinitely. Because the API cannot change, Microsoft's Windows kernel developers are limited by what pieces of the kernel they can change and by how much.
Microsoft is forced to make such trade-offs because they work under a proprietary software development model in which source code is not available. But because Linux is open source, and the barrier to entry for getting code into the kernel is reasonable, Linux kernel developers have taken the view that supporting an official "Linux Driver Model" would artificially limit the ability for the kernel to evolve over time. For this reason, compatibility is not, in general, guaranteed between one Linux kernel and the next – even a relatively small change might completely alter the interface used by an installed device driver.
The Linux kernel community has taken remedial steps to make life easier for driver developers to get their drivers into the official kernel. Greg Kroah-Hartman (known within the community as "Greg K-H") created a Linux Drivers Project several years ago to facilitate giving free programming resources to those want to create Linux drivers. In recent times, Greg has also created a special part of the Linux kernel sources where unfinished drivers can live. If distributions want to make these drivers available to users, they need only flip a configuration option. It's not a perfect situation, but it should help to encourage more third-party developers to get their code into the official kernel.
Some finished drivers do not make it into the official kernel for one reason or another. Often, these are proprietary kernel drivers (drivers for which the source is not fully available) that are only available from a particular hardware vendor. But it is not just proprietary drivers that don't make it into the kernel. Some developers aren't ready to submit to the rigorous process of submitting their code to the official kernel.
