Family legend — and a lost birth certificate — has it that my paternal grandfather, born near Rome in 1889, was the illegitimate offspring of an Italian princess of the Orsini family and a Philip Emanuel Marconi. Supposedly born in a castle, but given away to be raised by a poor family in the countryside near Rome, Giovanni Orsini/Marconi wore rags on his feet instead of shoes. The family who raised him was provided a stipend from the family of the birth mother. Orsini became Osenni in 1907 when Giovanni arrived in New York at Ellis Island to escape the poverty of south central Italy. He promised to come back for his childhood sweetheart, my grandmother, Annunziata Grilli, who lived nearby. Aided by a sponsor, Giovanni landed a job in Teddy Roosevelt's White House where he was employed as a servant. It was where, he told his daughters, he learned to read and write English. Eventually, in 1918, after WWI, my grandmother joined Giovanni, and they were married as soon as she landed at Ellis Island. They raised seven children; my father, John, was next to youngest.

You heard about it in the…oh wait…you didn't hear? Well then, join Steve in this special TWO PART episode of Weekend Extra following the road to good audio. Today we begin with shotgun mics, sound effects, and good habits to have when shooting your next movie. Next Episode?…THE MOON…and free audio programs, making a soundtrack, and tons more!
(via Indy Mogul - DIY filmmaking)
Primetime TV has left us all bored and stupid. So gather the family around the computer and tune into this episode of Q and Erik; you'll learn about ballistics gel, fake mustaches and cool places to find pictures and music for your videos. And if you want to be like our friend Sanity Source and get some screen time on Indy Mogul, then send us a video request!!!!!
(via Indy Mogul - DIY filmmaking)
In this episode of BFX, Erik shows us how to make a miniature spaceship that YOU can fit inside (with a little Indy Mogul magic of course) and fly through space with! And it's all for under $20!! That's less than a set of Little Mermaid Drapes.
(via Indy Mogul - DIY filmmaking)
Always wanted that shot that stays stable on your actor and whacks out the background? Of course you have! Now, thanks to our friends, John and Mark, you can build your very own SnorriCam! (via Indy Mogul - DIY filmmaking)
That's all. I'll start sending sexy iphone pix right HERE!
Sure, the radio is basically dead, but thanks to Indy Mogul, you can still bask in the warmth of the age old fireside chat with Erik Beck in the latest episode of "Q and Erik". Dressing zombies, building swords, running away from bullets? Erik covers it all, he even gives you the inside scoop of who and what's behind BFX!!! (via Indy Mogul - DIY filmmaking)
What can you make with some duct tape, old cothes, a fake head, and some newspaper. If your answer was a pile of old clothes and newspaper with a roll of duct tape and a fake head on the top, then you need to watch this video. Using just those ingredients, Erik builds a life size stunt dummy. (via Indy Mogul - DIY filmmaking)
It's true. DAMN YOU MYSPACE GODS!!!
But seriously. Even though I barely used my myspace account anyways (since facebook lured me away) I can't help but feel violated. You really start to feel like this chunk of digital real estate belongs to you, but apparently we are all just renting. And if you happen to live in the myspace projects, just know your landlord is a real jerk. He'll evict your ass with out giving you any warning or reason.
This is the only email I received:
"Your MySpace account has been deleted for violating our Terms of Service.
This is usually due to one of the following:
* Nude images, sexually suggestive or violent photos
* Covering our banner ads with HTML
* Harassing other users
* You do not meet the minimum age requirement
* Spamming the classifieds, forums, bulletins, or other sections of the site
* Attempting to artificially inflate scores
* Scripting the site
Your account cannot be restored. If you choose to return to MySpace, please follow the rules."
The only thing I can think of is someone hacked my account and started spamming with it. I've had this happen to many friends, but they didn't get their accounts deleted. Just yelled at by there friends to change their password.
I'm not going back. Any myspace exclusive friends can find my on facebook. They are not sell outs and account deleters, and they let me drink beer in their offices.
Did you make the greatest movie ever made…except without any lighting? Well, Steve Nelson has the cure for your darkness disease, build your own light kit for $25. (via Indy Mogul - DIY filmmaking)
Like FDR before him, Erik discusses bald people, shooting in new locations, android masks, clapboards, Dysfunctional films, our upcoming Halloween specials, and what equipment he uses to shoot BFX. Tune in every Thursday for a new episode of "Q and Erik". (via Indy Mogul - DIY filmmaking)
I can't promise that they'll be good, but I've started a daily comic strip diary and now that I have my scanner will be posting them here. We're talking exclusive, semi-regular comics.
Challenged by the dark lords of The Stack, Erik Beck must design a Super Hero Costume for under $50 in order to save the entire Universe!!! (via Indy Mogul - DIY filmmaking)

After a week off from Premiership football, we're back with another Premier League Recap. So here goes nothing…
1. Manchester City vs. Blackburn: City 3 - Rovers 0
Balotelli, Aguero, and Dzeko - Manchester City's top three scorers - all hit their mark on Saturday in a 3-0 win over relegation side Blackburn at home. City displayed complete and utter domination of their opponent, with 78% of the possession and 28 shots to Blackburn's 5. With the win, City remain two points clear of cross-town rivals Manchester United at 63 points, while Blackburn drop to 18th on 21 points. Carlos Tevez has been welcomed back to training, and it should be interesting to see his return to the pitch for City sometime in the near future.
2. Wigan vs. Aston Villa: Wigan 0 - Villa 0
On a day which Wigan dominated possession but it didn't show on the scoreboard and Villa had the better of chances but didn't produce a goal, the squads drew on Saturday each getting a point from the match. The bigger news on the day was the injury of Darren Bent, who was hurt on a challenge in the 79th. With the draw, Villa remain in 15th with 29 points while Wigan remain in last in the table with 20 points.
3. West Brom vs. Sunderland: West Brom 4 - Sunderland 0
Albion dominated from start to finish, scoring four goals on the day thanks to a double by Peter Odemwingie. Both goals were netted three minutes in to each half, as his first goal came early in the third minute, with his second coming just after half time in the 48th. An impressive and rare home win for West Brom moves them to 13th in the table on 32 points. Sunderland remains in 9th place in the table with 33 points.
4. Fulham vs. Queens Park Rangers: Fulham 1 - QPR 0
January transfer window signing Pavel Pogrebnyak paid dividends once again for Fulham, scoring in the 7th minute to grab the three points for Fulham in this clash of London clubs. Fulham was outshot despite dominating possession over QPR. After the result, Fulham pull into 11th place on 33 points while QPR drops to 17th on 21 points.
5. Newcastle vs. Wolverhampton Wanderers: Newcastle 2 - Wolves 2
Wolves eliminated a two goal deficit in the second half after having dug themselves a hole in the first, going down 2-0 off goals in the 6th and 18th minutes. Matthew Jarvis and Kevin Doyle scored in the 50th and 66th minutes respectively to get a point for new Wolves manager Terry Connor in his first match. Newcastle remains in 6th on 43 points and Wolves move to 16th on 22 points. *Interesting Note* I've eaten lunch at Reading Football Club's training ground sitting next to Kevin Doyle a few years back…pretty cool.
6. Chelsea vs. Bolton: Chelsea 3 - Bolton 0
Three goals in the second half fueled Chelsea and quieted talks regarding manager Andres Villas-Boas as Chelsea got a much needed win and three points. Chelsea dominated this one, getting goals from David Luiz, Didier Drogba, and Frank Lampard all after half time. With the win, Chelsea remain in 5th on 46 points, while Bolton remain in 19th on 20 points.
7. Stoke City vs. Swansea City: Stoke 2 - Swansea 0
Two goals in the first half from Matthew Upson and Peter Crouch led Stoke to their first win in four matches. Despite dominating possession, Swansea could not sustain a dangerous attack, getting through legitimate chances on nine shots. With the win, Stoke move to 12th on 33 points while Swansea fall to 14th with 30 points.
8. Norwich City vs. Manchester United: United 2 - Norwich 1
The old fellas bailed out United this week, keeping them on pace in the title run as Ryan Giggs scored in stoppage time to grab the three points. Paul Scholes scored in the 7th minute which held firm until the 83rd, when Norwich's Grant Holt scored the equalizer. It looked like this one was going to end in a draw, until Giggs saved the day in extra time in his 900th appearance for the Reds. United get three points and remain in 2nd place, two points behind City, while Norwich remain in 8th on 35 points.
9. Arsenal vs. Tottenham HotSpurs: Gunners 5 - Spurs 2
Arsenal erased a 2 goal deficit, climbing back to grab two goals before the end of the first half, and getting three more in the second half to total 5 goals on the day. Theo Walcott was the high man, scoring two goals in the 2nd half. With the win, Arsenal remain in 4th on 46 points, and 7 points back of their opponent on the day, Spurs, who are in 3rd with 53 points.
*NOTE: Liverpool vs. Everton was postponed due to Liverpool's Carling Cup Final.

In order for a vehicle with this much power to handle effectively, Factor X set up a Tein RA front and rear suspension system. Also added to the front end are a Comptech anti-sway bar and tie-rods. Rear stiffness is enhanced with an Alex Zanardi Edition anti-sway bar.
Braking is provided by RB 11.7-inch slotted rotors and 1997 NSX calipers paired with Project Mu pads. Goodridge stainless-steel brake lines with Motul fluid pumping through them gets the stopping message to where it needs to be.
Further aiding in the track performance of this NSX are the Volk Racing CE28N wheels which run 17x8 inches in the front and a fat 18x10.5 inches in the rear. This NSX didn't reach the 10-second barrier on the quarter-mile by using inferior tires. It runs Falken FK-451s sized 225/40-17 in the front and 295/35-18 BFGoodrich Drag Radials at the rear.
After initially going with their custom single-turbo setup, Factor X progressed to their current twin-turbo format. The goal for the development of the twin-turbo kit "was to produce in excess of 600 rwhp with smooth power delivery." The NSX is intended "to be a dedicated road course vehicle.
But of course, since Mike [Angel] was involved a small shot of nitrous was installed for those days it goes to the quarter-mile track." On nitrous the power output jumped to a staggering 813 rwhp. Could this be the most powerful street driven NSX in the U.S.? It is a big country so the truth remains a mystery.
Factor X Racing is very satisfied with the results of their 1993 NSX build and has evengreater plans for their 1991 Comptech widebody NSX. You can see them represent at The Strip at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway and many local NHRA events. So far they have run a best of 10.68 at 138 mph.
Finally, a bit of reflection from the guys at Factor X: "The road has been a verylong one and many times we questioned ourselves on what the hell we were doing. We are sure glad we followed our heart instead of our head."

A story in the Feb. 24 issue said Russian mills cannot sell commodity-grade A36 plate below a first-quarter reference price of $437.07 per tonne under the current suspension agreement with the United States. That threshold price is for hot-rolled plate in coil, not for cut-to-length plate.

Economic growth in the Gulf Coast is outstripping the rest of the country, thanks to energy, agriculture and demand from developing economies, according to a Federal Reserve official.
A survey based on interviews with 40 metals business leaders in 20 countries shows executives at the top of the international metals sector are more worried than their counterparts in other market segments about an overall decline in the global economy and decidedly more pessimistic when it comes to the outlook for their own companies.
The shortfall of funds at MF Global Inc. began nearly a week before the New York-based investment bank filed for bankruptcy, the trustee for the liquidation said this week, adding that a small portion of funds have been returned to former customers.

President Obama has asked for authority from Congress to downsize the federal government, starting with merging six trade and business departments.
The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) is scheduling a full five-year review to determine whether revocation of anti-dumping duty orders on welded carbon steel pipe and tube from India, Thailand and Turkey, circular non-alloy steel pipe from Brazil, Mexico, South Korea and Taiwan, and small-diameter carbon steel pipe and tube from Taiwan would likely lead to material injury.
The Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT) has made a preliminary determination in a dumping and subsidy investigation that imports of stainless steel sinks from China are causing material injury to the Canadian industry.
Mexico's iron and steel association has urged the country's government to remain vigilant in the face of steel imports from China.

This was a dream dress designed by myself for a dear friend. The bodice was randomly gathered on angles to give her a good bustline. The skirt was fitted at the front and flowed out to a train at the back. A large soft bow was tied at the base of the V at the back.
The straps blended into the V at the back

Travel Brand Positioning - Twelve Questions To Ask
As you examine where your brand is now, and where you want to be in the future, consider the position you're in.
Ask yourself these twelve questions:
It's a crowded world we live in, and despite recessions, layoffs, and tumbling revenue projections, people will still make time for getting away. A strong position will help you create emotional, evocative connections with the consumer. Those connections are built on insights grounded in the truth, and will help you find meaningful differentiation in your category.
The process is simple, and makes everything else more effective down the road.

I agree with this one ^^^
For you, I like your profile pic the best. Great angle, interesting pespective and your eyes catch my eyes and hold them.
I also find this one deliciously weird (in a good way!)
Thanks! Believe it or not the background on this one is photoshopped. It was a white wall with a framed Ikea photo on it. I had a MM retoucher/DA nail it for me.
For you, I like this one:
I'm torn on whether I want to know why she is there and what she is doing or if I want to be there with her. I feel like part of the story on this. Any photo that makes me think this much is a good shot in my book!
It's unfair of you to ask me to pick one of your photos so I'm going to pick a couple.
The back ground, your pose, this dress, the lighting... I love this:
Ditto on this:
But this might be my favorite, and not just because it has a Lord of the Rings reference. Great lighting, great expression, and the negative space is interesting.
For you, I pick this one. Great framing, good pose from head to toe.
For you, I like your profile pic the best: Great colors, expression and I like the way you flirt with the light. Good job!
I too am a sucker for dramatic lighting. This whole series looks amazing, but if I had to pick one it's this one:
http://www.modelmayhem.com/2763794#30149875 18+
You don't have a lot to choose from right now. I think you have a great look and I hope that you hook up with a good photographer to harness your beauty. If I have to pick from what you have now I choose this one. It tells the best story, is reasonably well lit and your eyes are sharp.
Thank you!
I love this shot of you. It's one of the few shots that grabs your face and sculpts it with light. Great shadow along the cheek line and I find myself curious as to what you are looking at.
Thank you for taking the time to look and critique, Geoff.
It's one of my favorites as well..
I like two of yours:
The second one would be my clear number one choice for you if your face wasn't over exposed. Still, it's a cool shot and I like the light in your hair.
I like this one for you. The light set up is really cool and I like that this could be fitness or fashion. It kind of walks a line.
Wow, that's an amazing port you have. There are a number of shots that I think are way better than average but this one is a clear winner:
I'm going to go with this one. Nice emotion in the shot.
http://www.modelmayhem.com/25455#21973297 18+
Thank you!
I like the concept of this shoot and I love you in it. I think you emote really well. I wish you were a little longer as your pose collapses your body a bit but outside of that you look amazing!
This one is awesome too!
Those redheads are all trouble. ALL TROUBLE!
For you, I like this one.
http://www.modelmayhem.com/781557#VIEWALL 18+
Yes, that link says VIEWALL. You don't have a bad shot. Dick.
THanks! That one seems to be a popular choice.
I like this one the best from you port:
I feel like my first answer was kind of crappy. All of your photos are really good, but the deal was for me to pick my favorite(s).
I don't know why, but I find this one intriguing. Even though I can't see her face there's a story there and I'm dying to know what happens next.
But I think my fav is this one. Nice light, engaging eyes and great negative space.

Thomas' runs broaden scope of Va. Tech's ground game
Source: The Virginian-Pilot - Oct 18, 2011 at 11:46 PM
By Andy Bitter BLACKSBURG Coaches don't let Virginia Tech's defenders hit the quarterback during practice. It might be for their protection. "I guess I'm lucky," cornerback Kyle Fuller said. "I don't have to (tackle) somebody who's 6-6, 250 pounds." That somebody is quarterback Logan Thomas, whose running ability has added another dimension to the offense.

Welcome to the WQS // Azores Islands from Garrett Parkes on Vimeo.
"We went to the Azores Islands off the coast of Portugal for a WQS, before arriving I didnt have a clue about the place, but it didn't take long to realize what a rad joint it is. Located between Europe and mainland USA makes it a key stopover for sailing enthusiast and salty sailor seadogs. We climbed mountains, went to hot spirngs, surfed some fun waves and made the most of this beautiful Island!" – Garrett Parkes

My warm-up doodle got out of hand.
In middle school I had tried to write stories about a girl dragonrider. Couldn't tell you anything about them because I've long forgotten them, but the topic is something that still interests me and is likely to be something I'll pursue further since HTTYD is disappointing in regards to "this setting has no people of color even though it's fantasy and there are dragons so you can't use the historical accuracy excuse".
I'll keep you guys posted on developments.

Can we abolish nationalism and live in a globalized society?
The holocaust is an integral part of education in Israel. And for years Israeli students are attending programs and are going to Poland to learn and go through an emotional process, which usually ends in an educational message. Some messages are Zionist, some talk about democracy and humanity; others grow nationalization in students and encourage them to join the army.
A lot of years have passed since the holocaust and it seems people are starting to forget around the world. The world turns more and more extreme and nationalism grows like a disease. I never truly understood why Palestinians and Jews cant live in the same land [and no, I do not discount this conflict like many people in the world do].
And I assume most of you here are global minded humanists, but don't think racism and hatred is only among us silly Middle Eastrens, your cultures and you and I personally tend to generalize groups with out even noticing.
That's thought led me to a kind of depression. All my family died in the holocaust for what? For the countries to continue hating one another?
I know this banal statement directly leads you to think im some kind of a weirdo not practical hippi, and believe me; im not.
But I would like you to the following question in a creative and original way ["this is human nature and we cant do nothing about it" is not an answer].
Can the world live with out extreme nationalization, with out borders, with out hatred between different groups? Can the world be fully globalized?
P.S this is my first Ted question :) hopes it will lead to an interesting debate.

Dec 20 2011: The real question is, do you feel comfortable placing control of the entire planet in one government. It goes without saying that a one world government would have to be established in order to protect the peace, enforce laws, maintain this world without nations, etc. Can one government be given that much power?

Book apps or ibooks?
A few facts to begin with: Apple's App Store started in 2008 (at that time for iPhone 3GS and iPod) and since 2010 the App Store is also available on the iPad. One of its biggest categories is 'books'. Since 2010 there is an iBookstore as well.
What's the difference and how does that make me feel?
For us, in the Netherlands, making a distinction between these two was very simple. Text e-books were sold on the iBookstore, everything else went to the App Store. As we make digital children's books, we made apps for the App Store, not e-books for the iBookstore.
I'll have to explain this. Normal e-books don't have a fixed layout. It is possible to alter the font size for instance. But by doing so, you also alter the layout of the page and because children's books always have illustrations, these pages turn out looking horrible. The proper combination of text and illustrations, so important in these books, is gone.
But with the invention of ePub3, one could make e-books with fixed layout. Apple was the first to support this on iPhone and iPad. Yes, one could even insert video, audio and some interaction and use Apple's own program iBook Author to make these e-books.
There's a thin line between e-books and book apps.
An enhanced e-book has more features than the more simple book apps we sometimes used to make. So now we too, could choose whether we wanted to make an e-book for the iBookstore or an app for the App Store. And our choice was based on the expected return on investment. The costs to produce an enhanced e-book are lower than those for making an average book app. And not every digital children's book needs all the bells and whistles. In fact sometimes it's better not to have too many features to distract the child's concentration.
So since September 2012 we started selling e-books with a fixed layout in the iBookstore, most of them with audio and interactivity. And the first results weren't bad. We sold more of our e-books on the iBookstore than on any other e-book store. And it also seemed that consumers were willing to spend a little more money on e-books than they do on book apps.
So am I happy with the iBookstore? No, and here's why:
1. It is no longer me who decides which store I will choose, Apple is.
Since a couple of months Apple's demands are as follows: If the features in your digital book are possible on the iBookstore, the book must be sold there.
2. After almost three years the iBookstore is still very much unknown. Every week people ask us where some of our digital books can be found, as they couldn't find them in the book category on the App Store. They don't even know about the other store.
These two points don't really relate to each other. Apple demands that you sell in the iBookstore instead of the App Store but doesn't do anything to make the iBookstore better known. Apple's lack of interest is obvious when you consider that the App Store app is default on iOS devices while the iBookstore isn't and has to be downloaded from… the App Store. Please Apple. How difficult can it be to solve this?
It is as if Apple is refusing to sell your books in a busy shopping mall and instead sends you to an obscure shop in a factory area where nobody will find you. And as a publisher you're not only supposed to promote your book, but also the store.
10 to 30 times as many books sold on the App Store.
I found it difficult to quantify the problem, but recently I read this article. US iPad publisher Open Air tells us about selling its digital books in both the iBookstore and the App Store. The figures show that the App Store sells 10 to 30 times more books than the iBookstore. Even when a book was featured on the iBookstore and not on the App Store, that ratio remained the same. Open Air too, blames this result on the fact that the iBookstore is little known and not default on iPad and iPhone. In a comment on this article Carisa Kluver, founder and CEO of digital-storytime.com says: "iBookstore is a ghost town in comparison to App Store. Why shelf your books in a store with no real traffic?" I fully agree with Carisa, but it isn't me anymore who decides in which store I want my books to be sold.
Quid pro quo, Apple. You can do so much better. Start earning your 30%.
We've published to the iBook Store for a couple of years now, and, echoing what Chris said if it's your only channel, then you're likely to have a big problem. If you're a big name author, Apple push you and/or you give away books for free you'll get the downloads. We gave away 25,000 of an iBook a while ago. But that felt like people picking up a free newspaper outside the station - happy to get it for nothing, never going to pay for it.
If Apple want publishers to embrace the iBook Store rather than the App Store, then they need to throw a lot more resource behind it. Currently there's no commercial incentive to go there, despite the huge technical lead iBA and epub3 in iBooks offer.
I wrote about the things Apple need to fix a while ago, not much has changed: http://bit.ly/12luO2u
Overall though, there's just no mindshare. Kindle has become the "hoover" of the ebook world - a generic term that everyone understands. iBooks could become the Dyson. If Apple want it to.
iBook or app

This article rings true, especially regarding the difficulty readers have finding books in the iBookstore. I witnessed one reader trying to buy my enhanced book, Air Quality. First they got into a loop with an Apple ID password issue. Then they couldn't find it because they needed to download the iBookstore app from the app store. When they got through that, they found AQ, but discovered they needed to download iBooks Author for iPad. This person become very frustrated. They did buy the book, but I suspect they would have given up had I not been there to guide then.

Apple have been very supportive and helpful to me, but I know from feedback that I have lost sales because of the hoops readers have to go through. I don't see why they can't direct traffic to the iBookstore, or why finding Air Qulailty shouldn't trigger automatic download of the iBookstore and iBooks Author. The good news is, once these apps are in place, buying the next enhanced book is easy, at one event I saw someone buy AQ in 15 seconds.

Put Book Apps in the digital book stores!
We'd say take it a step further and get rid of the book app category altogether and let's compete with e-ink books in the same on-line storefronts. As it is, great enhanced digital books must compete for visibility alongside games and productivity apps, instead of the e-reading storefronts where the great majority of the book reading fan bases are
Apple's taxonomy for books is
Apple's taxonomy for books is quite weird. You've got the iTunes store with tabs for Music, Film, TV and Audiobooks but not books; the App store with a Books category; and the separate iBooks store.
It would make much more sense if iBooks wasn't a separate entity, but a special folder that included plain ebooks, enhanced ebooks and ebook apps all in one place. By all means have a tab for books in iTunes, and a category in the appstore, but have somewhere that pulls them together into one place, like Newsstand for magazines. Magazines and newspapers on iPad are at a technical level apps and appear in the app store, but get gathered together in the Newsstand folder and are in the Newsstand store.
On a tablet, it shouldn't matter to the reader whether an ebook is an epub or an app at a technical level. The ebook description should describe any interactive features, but there shouldn't be a sharp separation of interactive and non-interactive ebooks. What really matters isn't the underlying technology, but the reading experience.
iBookstore versus App Store
We are producing interactive non-fiction eBooks using the iBooks Author route and selling them in the iBookstore in 51 countries. Readers love them – if and when they find them.
We can confirm Bert's analysis: some customers don't know the iBookstore exists, and if they hear about an eBook, they look for it first on the App Store.
Apple could help by integrating the search functions between the two. So if a reader searches for an author name in the App Store, they will be shown the books available on the iBookstore.
As creative publishers, we love iBooks Author: it allows editors and designers real control and it's affordable. It allows us to break away from the flat piece of paper and do things with interactive maps and video that we merely dreamed of 25 years ago. To develop apps would put us in the hands of techies and we'd lose control.
But the business side is frustrating: the barriers to discovery of the books are real, and the numbers are discouraging. We have been at the top of the charts in various sectors – and I can only say I am sorry for the people further down the lists...
Come on Apple, make a good solution great!

Kauffman Foundation and TechStars Join Together
to Provide Entrepreneurs Better Access to Seed Accelerators
$200,000 Funding from Kauffman to the TechStars Network will Standardize Seed Accelerator Application and Reporting Processes
The Kauffman Foundation is partnering with TechStars, the premier startup accelerator, to create awareness of and simplify access to the growing number of credible seed accelerator programs globally. As part of the partnership, the Kauffman Foundation is providing TechStars with $200,000 in funding to build software utilized by the TechStars Network.
Funding from the Foundation will be used to build and manage a unified application processing and tracking system for seed accelerator programs across industries, dozens of which are members of the TechStars Network. It also will allow Kauffman and other researchers to track and analyze aggregate data relating to the demand for the programs as well as funding and business performance results for the companies that the accelerators fund over time.

Portable heart monitor plan wins Innovative Idea Competition
Three electrical and computer engineering seniors have been awarded the grand prize in the Ninth Annual Innovative Idea Competition sponsored by the Innovation & Entrepreneurship Institute in the Fox School of Business and Management.
Awardees encompassed five schools and colleges and a wide range of disciplines, underscoring the IEI's emphasis on fostering entrepreneurship across the university.
Corey Floyd, Marcus Kratz and Darryl O'Mara won $500 plus software for their Portable Intelligent Cardio Monitor, which is also their senior design project in the College of Engineering.
Their faculty advisor on the project is electrical and computer engineering professor Robert Yantorno.
PICM is a portable device that would evaluate a person's cardiovascular health, providing them with meaningful information about the state of their cardiovascular system and encourage them to accomplish personalized goals as determined by the system with input for their cardiologist.
Additionally, more specific information would be recorded and transmitted for use by the patient's doctor or rehabilitative physiologist.
The Idea stage is the first level of the Business Innovation Competition, and is open to Temple students, faculty, staff and alumni. The purpose of the idea competition is to stimulate exciting new businesses.
The next stage this academic year is the Business Plan. Due March 16, 2007, the plans must address the creation of a new business in the Philadelphia region and not the expansion of an existing business.
Participation in the Idea stage is not required to participate.

JAMMER ART – Giraffes
Congratulations to Snowflake Snowyspirit, Precious Snowyspirit, Blooming Spiritflower, Expert Happymoon, and Victory Rowdyfriend for being selected for this week's Jammer Art featuring giraffes!
You can submit your artwork at Jammer Central in Jamaa Township. If you are selected your art will be featured in the Daily Explorer and our social media outlets.
Did you know that a giraffe can have up to five horns? Where do they keep them all?
CREATURE FEATURE – Leafcutter Ants
Dr. Brady Barr finds a trail of leafcutter ants in this week's Creature Feature.
Because they carry cut leaves above their heads like little umbrellas, leafcutter ants are also known as parasol ants. And did you know that a leafcutter ant can carry almost ten times its own weight? That would be like the average eight-year-old carrying a cow!
Leafcutter ants carry the leaf pieces they cut back to their underground nests. The leaves are chewed into a pulp, and afterwards a special fungus grows on them. The leafcutter ants use this fungus, not the leaves, as a crop for their colony to eat!
You can also think of these ants as little farmers with five different jobs: foragers, gardeners, choppers, tiny ants that distribute leaf bits to the fungus, and even smaller ants called minimae that tend to the fungus.
RIM – Rare Pirate Beard
There were female pirates, although not very common. The most notable were Anne Bonnie and Mary Read who sailed with 'Calico Jack Rackham' in 1719.
They were known to belt on a sword and a pistol and take to the seas dressed as men. Maybe they had this week's RARE ITEM MONDAY, Rare Blue Pirate Beard. They were also regarded as better fighters than their male shipmates. When Jack's ship 'The Kingston' was captured by the law, Bonnie and Read claimed they were with child to avoid being hanged with the rest of the crew.

NASCAR Fans, This is the Week to Give IndyCar a Chance
8/27/09 in IndyCar | Eric_ | 7716 respect
I know. Most of you may see me as that rabid, insane IndyCar fan. Just hear me out on this one, OK? Great.
I saw that the Sprint Cup is off this week. Given the nearing end of the regular season, that has to be a letdown. What then is a race fan to do to get a fix? For that, I present the IndyCar Series race Saturday night at Chicagoland Speedway.
It's a fact. Indy cars in Chicago produce amazing racing. Of the 10 closest 1-2 finishes in series history, four of them happened at Chicagoland, including the top two. Last year's race ranks #2, with Helio Castroneves defeating Scott Dixon by .0033 seconds. The whole race will be like that, with many instances of 2-wide and even 3-wide racing all throughout the field, inches apart at 210+ mph. As some may know, racing like that, formally IndyCar's calling card, has been lacking much of the season. However, aerodynamic changes made before the Kentucky race appeared to have fixed the problem, and given Chicagoland's history, the racing could easily take another step forward
While this year's race won't have the added significance of being the championship decider, it will be at night for the first time, which can only add to the proceedings aesthetically. The race will also still have an impact on what that has been yet another fantastic championship battle. With three races left, Ryan Briscoe leads Dario Franchitti by just 4 points. Defending champion Dixon is right behind in 3rd place, just 20 points back. The championship lead has changed after 13 of 14 races this year, downright unheard of movement.
Yes, obviously IndyCar is screwed up off-track, as fans can note in great, laborious detail, and yes, a certain driver that rhymes with Banica Matrick will likely receive much more coverage that her placing deserves (although it would be much worse on ESPN than it is on Versus). Still, when it comes to the on-track product, IndyCar doesn't get better than Chicagoland, and in my opinion, racing doesn't get much better than this. I'm not saying watch the series full-time (although I heartily encourage that), but I am saying with NASCAR's top series off for the week, give this one race a try. I guarantee you will enjoy it.

On Friday I made my way in the sunshine to the Tom Dixon pop up exhibition on Bleecker Street, Noho as part of New York Design Week. Titled 'London Underground', it's hidden away in the darkest depths of the Bleecker Street Theatre and is the first ever Tom Dixon satellite show in the USA.
The Luminosity installation showcases the latest lamp and lights by Tom Dixon, fresh from Milan which hang elegantly from the ceiling as you walk around the dark space. It's all very dramatic and very cool.
And if you fancy a coffee there is a pop up Stumptown Coffee House with free coffee (nice!). Plus if you want to shop Fab.com are on hand with some fantastic Tom Dixon products.
It's still open today and tomorrow so head down to check it out. And do let me know what you think below. Which is your fave Tom Dixon light?

I am launching a women pret a porter business in San Francisco. I connect with great designers and suppliers in France and Italy and bring their stylish looks in your San Francisco Home though fashion shows and "Home Parties".
A few reasons make me want to join this group. First, I would love to get involved much more with San Francisco fashion industry and get a good knowledge of San Franciscan women needs as far as their taste in fashion is concerned.

I didn't study fashion at school, but I lived around fashion all my life. I was born and raised in France, near Paris, so I got involved with that industry pretty much everyday. My background is business, and I love fashion. So I decided to become a salesperson in Fashion.
Right now my biggest challenge is to get the word out of my services and product. I also have a hard time to meet people in that field.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Major League Baseball recently nixed a TV deal for the Dodgers that team owner Frank McCourt said would provide financial stability for the team. The bankruptcy filing appears to be a last ditch effort by McCourt to keep baseball from seizing the Dodgers — one of the most storied teams in sports.

Whisky Type
Invergordon 47 Year Old single grain Highland Scotch whiskey. 1965 vintage single refill barrel #9459 bottled 2013 by Douglas Laing for the Clan Denny series.
Full – round – citric and warmly spiced on the nose as it opens – warming to a light oaky and corn quality. Its palate has an opening hint of liquorice – moving onto a complexity of grain, vanilla and brown sugars – all of which are replicated on the – all too short - but typical - finish.
Invergordon Distillery was established by Invergordon Distillers Ltd in 1959 at Invergordon on the Cromarty Firth in Scotland's Highland whisky region. Invergordon opened in 1961 and supports The Invergordon Distillery Pipe Band. A single Coffey Still was increased to three in 1963 and an additional and much larger column still was introduced in 1978 in order to produce neutral spirit. Ben Wyvis malt distillery was built in its grounds in 1965 although it closed in 1976 and was demolished in 1977.

Yes, the rapper who took some time off over the past couple years has returned in a very big way.

Border-Radius Syntax
As it stands with CSS3 border radius we have to type what feels like a lot of code for such a simple thing. It would be nice if the final spec will allow us to type it all in one line.
So instead of typing this:
-webkit-border-top-left-radius: 5px;
-webkit-border-top-right-radius: 5px;
-moz-border-radius-topleft: 5px;
-moz-border-radius-topright: 5px;
border-top-left-radius: 5px;
border-top-right-radius: 5px;
We should be able to type this:
border-radius: 5px 5px 0 0;
Apparently irregular corner support complicates the issue a bit, making my proposed syntax a bit hard to pull off as explained at css3.info and at the W3C site.

Teaming with the Technical University of Darmstadt, German cabin completion and MRO specialist Lufthansa Technik (LHT) is developing new methods for load transmission into carbon-fiber composite aircraft fuselage structures in executive aircraft.
Economy of Germany
Miami-based Aero Turbine, a subsidiary of the International Lease Finance Corp. (ILFC) that markets engines and aircraft parts, and Lufthansa Technik have announced their intention to enter into a partnership. Under the terms of the agreement AeroTurbine will supply Lufthansa Technik with aircraft and engine components, while Lufthansa Technik will provide technical services and supply AeroTurbine with surplus material for resale.
Lufthansa Bombardier Aviation Services (LBAS) opened an additional hangar at its home base at Berlin-Schoenefeld and added 12 jobs, including 10 mechanics, bringing the number of staff currently employed at LBAS to 183. The additional capacity means the MRO can handle one aircraft in the Bombardier Global series and four aircraft up to the size of a Challenger 850. The hangar has been expanded to include a battery shop and a wheel reconditioning workshop, along with offices and recreation rooms.
For the second consecutive year, Airbus has selected Lufthansa Technik as the "best VIP cabin outfitter" for the interior work done at its completion center in Hamburg, Germany, and at BizJet International, its U.S. subsidiary in Tulsa, Okla.
The award recognizes the best of the Airbus-approved outfitting centers in 2012. In accepting it, Dr. Hans Schmitz, Lufthansa Technik senior v-p of VIP and executive jet solutions, made a point of thanking all employees "within our VIP business for their permanent engagement and discipline."
Kellstrom Commercial Aerospace has acquired AirLiance Materials from Lufthansa Technik. Under the terms of the deal, AirLiance's current CEO, Roscoe Musselwhite, will become president and CEO of Kellstrom Commercial Aerospace and a member of Kellstrom's board of directors. His initial responsibility will be to integrate the two commercial operations into a single, integrated organization.
Cabin MRO, completions and refurbishment giant Lufthansa Technik (Booth 1031) is expanding its innovation engineering capability at its base in Hamburg, Germany. This year, according to Andrew Muirhead, who runs the Innovation Business Unit, the 55-person core team will be boosted by seven additional posts, and further staff positions will be required in 2014 and 2015.
At the Aircraft Interiors Expo in Hamburg, Lufthansa Technik and Schott presented a new development in cabin lighting systems for aircraft. For the first time, aircraft owners can take advantage of LED technology while avoiding the color changes that occur when LEDs age. The new Nicemood system, which has already been approved for use in aircraft, mixes and regulates the light output of different diodes, for what the developers call significant cost savings compared with traditional lighting and a dramatic improvement in lighting quality.
Lufthansa Bombardier Aviation Services (LBAS) and tier-one cabin components supplier OHS Aviation Services have delivered their largest-ever single aircraft maintenance and refurbishment project.
The job, for an unidentified Asian client, included the first installation of Honeywell's new Ovation Select cabin management system on a Bombardier airplane outside North America, according to LBAS parent company Lufthansa Technik.
Lufthansa Technik is offering a new product bundle for life-cycle support of large private and business aircraft. The service packages include access to a pool of highly qualified engineers and mechanics, worldwide material support through the Lufthansa Technik logistics network, and assured support in case of AOG incidents and other emergencies.
"Our customers will get 24/7 global free-of-charge troubleshooting hotline support for up to 10 man hours as an airside assistance regardless of where the aircraft operates," said Walter Heerdt, senior v-p of marketing and sales. "This means that after signing a standby support agreement, no further fees or charges will apply until the customer requests additional service at prior agreed-to prices and conditions."
Engineering and troubleshooting questions will be handled by Lufthansa Technik's central maintenance control center.

With the legalization of marijuana in Colorado and Washington, as well as other states considering it, it was only a matter of time before the other aspects of the weed were explored, such as its scent. Already -- as reported by The New York Times -- the U.S. Senate is considering "growing and researching industrial hemp, paving the way for several states to begin pilot growing programs for this variety of the cannabis plant, which can be refined into oil, wax, rope, cloth, pulp and other products." But maybe you don't have any plans to travel to those places . . . are you left out in the cold? No!
Enter cutting edge experts of the senses, Malin+Goetz. Malin is a beauty and style expert, while Goetz brings design and the sensuality of working with food to the table. As a food and travel writer myself, I think he's got a great thing going! I was glad to be hosted to experience their Cannabis Hand+Body Wash.
At first, my eyes widened. After all, I didn't want to smell like I had spent the day at a Bob Marley fest. But it's really not like that! It's described as being subtly scented with their signature Spicy Cannabis scent, with top notes of fresh lemon and orange, middle notes of fig and pepper, with a sophisticated base of oakmoss, sandalwood and amber-patchouli. I find the scent to be intriguing, warm, unisex or masculine. I use men's fragrances occasionally and am attracted to this one. I would be attracted to people wearing it, too.
So, how is the wash itself? It's got a lot of slip; it is probably the very best thing I've ever used for shaving! That's no doubt from the hydrating natural glycerin and protein amino acids.
