Picture 4 to 5 young developers crammed together in a messy, cramped student apartment with old discarded styrofoam lunch boxes littered around them. They sit for hours and hours behind their screens typing away, coding, and testing their product. Their hair is messy, their clothes wrinkled, and the smell of cola, coffee and cigarettes hangs in the air.
This archetypal image of an early startup company is almost universal whether it's in Silicon Valley in the US or in Beijing's Zhongguancun district. Young entrepreneurs, driven by a dream and a passion to build something monumental remains our image of software startups the whole world over. However, just as most US startups did not emerge from a Harvard dorm room, many Chinese startups also did not come from a group of friends working full-tilt in a cheap apartment somewhere in the city.
The reality is that in both China and the US, startups and founders are as diverse as the ideas they're building. However, for cultural as well as regulatory reasons, there remain many differences between the startup eco-system in the US and its counterpart in China. Although passion for what they build and dreams remain very similar, entrepreneurs in China and those in the US have adapted to the forces in their environment in many different ways. Although its almost impossible to list all of the various differences, we can still examine some of the most salient points.
Founders: The older generation in China, those over 35, still remember the hard times of the past. They put a premium on stability and saving for the future. Many entrepreneurs in China still need to convince their parents, their spouses and even their friends that doing a startup is not a crazy idea (it probably is, but they still cannot admit it). The pressure to take a job with a large prestigious company, or even the government, remains a big hurdle for startups by young Chinese professionals born as the only child of their aging parents. Americans, in contrast, live with the epic stories of Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg dropping out of college to chase their dreams and become billionaires of companies that literally changed the world.
When I hired Chinese male developers in Beijing for my company, I was always puzzled by their disinterest in equity shares and their desire for cash as compensation. One of my friends from China explained it to me this way: " many of your guys want to get married or get girlfriends, in order to do this, they NEED to buy an apartment now so they can get married or to make them more eligible to prospective girlfriends as a stable and responsible spouse. Keep in mind that the gender ratio for young Chinese is heavily skewed towards boys with girls being a smaller and pickier group."
Ideas: One will discover that many of the successful internet companies in China started as clones of Western products. After several iterations, and adaptation to the local market, many of these Internet companies have diverged immensely from the original model they copied. This same still occurs today as Chinese entrepreneurs look for viable ideas and services in the West and try to adapt them to The China market. Taking an idea that works in the West seems less riskier when one launches it in China, sometimes with the same UI, colors and even code than taking a wholly new idea and trying to discover a workable idea, product and even market. Success in China (for now) is gained through execution, not innovation.
In the West, new companies, new ideas and even new business models are expected of entrepreneurs as they add value to already existing market segments or create a whole new one of their own. Although cloning and copying still exists, entrepreneurs are still expected to innovate in some way, even if small, to gain some credibility from the community. Carbon copies are frowned upon and innovation is the buzzword.
Many Chinese entrepreneurs have working experience or, in the past, went to school abroad. These days, most entrepreneurs now come from local Internet companies never having been overseas. For this reason, many of the Chinese entrepreneurs are a little older and more experienced, coming from large companies prior to doing a startup.
Capital: Raising money to do startups continues to be the largest worry for many entrepreneurs on both sides of the Pacific. One of the most significant differences between East and West is not the entrepreneurs, but the investors themselves. While the West has had many generations of technology entrepreneurs becoming investors, China has perhaps only one generation of successful Internet technology leaders that can act as mentors and investors to these startups. Many of the investors in China come from financial as opposed to technical backgrounds. Those who have been successful entrepreneurs have usually done it through more traditional industries: manufacturing, outsourcing and service industries. Their expectations of returns and risk have been formed from their experience of growing their own companies in an emerging market transition. Only now recently do we see some of the original employees of Sina, Baidu, Tencent and other Chinese internet companies leaving to form their own internet companies with seed and angel investment from their former bosses and colleagues. Before this, many of the technology people were coming out of the early Microsoft, HP and IBM local staff of the pre-Internet information technology multinationals.
Even many institutional funds and VCs focused on funding hotels, automobiles and property companies; these were growing rapidly with less of the risk inherent in the internet business. Many of the Silicon Valley VCs in China operate more like franchises that use the name and brand of their US counterpart, but raise funds locally and manage their portfolios more or less with a very local focus and investment size, usually smaller than their US counterparts. Local investors also have a shorter investment horizon and want to see revenue, profit and an exit earlier than their average US counterparts.
Growth: The last difference that I can mention between the US and Chinese startup eco-system is the growing of the business. In many ways, the online revenue for many internet companies came through the sale of virtual items in games. Only in the last few years have we seen the growth of online advertising and transactional fees being a primary business model for Internet companies. The US has had online revenues available as a revenue source for almost a decade. Many online businesses in China still have a large element of offline and traditional industry partnerships. For Chinese startups to grow, they still need to partner and get approval from traditional channels for customers and fulfillment. The western eco-system for online businesses has in many ways become less dependent on offline channels for traffic and revenue.
The most significant partnership for Chinese startups remains, of course, government approval from the various and multiple regulatory bodies in China that oversee the Internet. Whereas in the US, a startup that makes money, complies with generally accepted laws of traditional industries, and builds a growing userbase is on the road to success, Chinese startups that fail to please or comply with the special laws or approval of the regulatory bodies can see themselves shut down almost overnight. Even successful Chinese startups need to continue to remain vigilant year after year lest their license gets revoked.
The bright side is that China's startup ecosystem continues to grow and adapt like a startup itself. Although it may appear to or come close to the ecosystem found in the US, it will probably remain a very different environment for at least another generation. Just like any startup, expect to see a few pivots in the eco-system along the way.

So the dream isn't so much 'change the world', but more like, 'I need some money for couple hours of fun with at the 咖啡吧 with 17号.
It's no 'sugar water' speech, but inspiring nonetheless.

Jul 4th 2008 4:31PM Blizzard entertainment, for purposes of machinima, explicitly allows the use of "video images, footage, music, sounds, speech, or other assets from its copyrighted products, including "World of Warcraft"." There are, of course, restrictions, but these are legal restrictions relating to their copyright of those materials. You can see more detail on their open letter to the machinima community.
The TOS(Terms of 'service') is an entirely separate matter that is only effective within the scope of a person, with an account, playing their game. It covers the wow service.
When Blizzard announced the WWI contest, they used a picture from a Baron Soosdon movie that featured significant and blatant private server use, as well as model editing.

Suzen's Chili with Beans, Steak and Tequila
On Sunday, watching both the Super Bowl and the commercials, Suzen and I wanted food prepared in advance, easy to serve and as spicy as the New Orleans setting.
Suzen had some leftover steak and a friend who had sample the meat said, "Make chili!" Great advice. This recipe cooks for hours but that's good because your kitchen will be totally aromatic.
We used six dried chilies, three of them ancho, and the other three were dried, red and hot. This is a panty-clearing option for you. How do you know if you have enough chilies, the right chilies? It's simple. After you have soaked and blended the chilies into a puree, take a whiff or a taste. If it blasts you off your feet, cures sinus problems, and make you search for a beer, you have succeeded. [That means, if the mixture is not earth shaking yet, you'll need to add another chile, which means you'll want to soak a couple of extra ones. Don't worry. You can always put those extra pods to use. For example, blend the leftover chilies with mayonnaise for a different chip dip.]
Suzen's Chili with Beans, Steak and Tequila
Yield: serves 8
- 1 pound cooked red beans [discussed below]
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 bay leaf
- 3 dried ancho chilies, toasted and seeded
- 3 other dried chilies, toasted and seeded
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano [Mexican variety preferred], crumbled
- 1 28-ounce can tomatoes
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste [very likely you'll use more]
- ½ to 1 pound cooked steak, cut into small, bite-size pieces
- 1 medium white onion, chopped
- 2 tablespoons tequila
- Chopped fresh cilantro for garnish
- Chopped white onion for garnish, optional
- Shredded cheese for garnish, optional
- Sliced avocado for garnish, optional
Prepare the beans by putting them in a large pot and covering with water. Add a teaspoon of Mexican oregano and a bay leaf. Cook over medium heat for 1 ½ hour until the beans are tender, but not falling apart. Remove the bay leaf.
While the beans are cooking, soak the toasted chilies in very hot water for 30 minutes to soften. Only use enough water to just cover the chilies. Put the chilies in a blender and discard the soaking water. Add the oregano and tomatoes. Blend until as smooth as possible. [This is precisely the situation where a Vitamix is preferable to a conventional blender. The Vitamix will produce a perfectly smooth product for you.]
Strain the cooked beans and return to their pot. You may wish to save some of the bean water to thin the dish out as it cooks. Add the pureed chili mixture to the beans. Add the bay leaves, salt and sliced steak. Cover and begin to cook.
In a skillet with a little olive oil, fry the onion until it starts to brown. Add the onion and the tequila to the beans. All to cook for at least 30 minutes so the flavors can blend.
Serve then, with the garnishes. Alternatively, remove from the heat for up to two hours, then reheat and serve.
Left overs can be frozen and delectably desired later.
Serving options include straight in the bowl, over chips, or over rice. White rice flavored with cilantro is an excellent option.

Michael's Pedernales River Chili
Chili or chile? Bean only, meat only, or both?
My son Michael settled on "chili" and has offered this chili recipe at the annual Halloween party for years. It's a great recipe, full of meat and beans. It's easily scaled up for a party size and can be cooked ahead of time. You can even freeze the leftovers, but there won't be any.
The original recipe called for round steak or chuck. Here we are substituting fajita meat. Yes, it comes packaged in plastic bag as is filled with flavoring stuff. Very good for chili.
Make this the morning or afternoon of your party, let it simmer for hours, then crank up the heat and serve hot with sour cream, diced onions and shredded cheese. This recipe is as healthy or unhealthy as you want it to be.
This is one of those infinitely variable recipes. Feel free to add more or less beans. You can make it 2 tablespoons, not teaspoons, of oregano. Let your taste buds guide. Remember this, you can always add some more heat at the end by stirring in more chili powder, green chilies or chili sauce. It is very hard to unheat a dish. Taste test along the way and you won't go wrong.
Michael's Pedernales River Chili
Yield: 10+ servings
- 2 tablespoons of oil for each batch of fajita meat being browned
- 8 pounds of packaged fajita meat
- 2 tablespoons of oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 large cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons minced oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground onion
- 1 tablespoon red chili pepper
- 2 7-ounce cans of diced green chiles, mild
- 3 14-ounces cans of diced tomatoes, drained
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 cups beef stock
- 2 15 -ounce casn kidney beans
- 2 15-ounce cans black beans
- Salt and pepper to taste
Heat the oil in a heavy pan over medium heat and add the fajitas. Cook until lightly browned. The packaged fajitas will release a lot of liquid. Pour off the liquid, allow the meet to cool, then dice to bite size pieces. You will probably need to cook the 8 pounds of fajitas if 4 stages.
If necessary, add some more oil to the pan. Sweat the onions, add the garlic just at the end and cook it lightly. Don't burn the garlic.
Put the cut fajitas, cooked onion and garlic, and all the other ingredients in very large pot. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer for an hour or slightly more. Skim occasionally. Season with salt.
If the party is some time off, turn off the heat and keep the pot covered. Check to make sure the mixture never cools to room temperature and, if necessary, add some heat to get the chili back to hot. Just before serving, crank the heat one last time to have the chili hot enough to melt the grated cheese you will crown it with.

You can file this in the "saw that coming" file, but Lamborghini is going to be making multiple versions of its new Huracán over the next few years, including a rear-wheel-drive model. This news comes courtesy of Autocar, who managed to get a few words with Lamborghini boss Stephan Winkelmann after the reveal of the new Huracán Super Trofeo at Pebble Beach last week. The key phrase Winkelmann uttered was "why should we not do a rear-drive option?"
There was a limited run of RWD Gallardos that started with the special LP550-2 Balboni Edition . After the Balboni came another limited run Bicolore special edition , and finally Lamborghini just began offering a base level RWD car. It makes sense that the Huracán will follow this same tradition, but Autocar expects the RWD model to be a special, high-end creation that will carry a higher price and more limited production numbers.
Before the RWD model arrives, expect a convertible Spyder version to arrive next year, with a higher performance variant a year or two after that. There will inevitably be lightweight versions as well, and this may be where the RWD comes into play. Cutting the AWD system from under the Huracán is likely to save 100 pounds or more.

Status: Bill Porter, director of public works, said the work on the Harmonee Bridge is not done. The mess is still there because the contract has not been closed.
This spring the contractor will work on the streetlights, railings and fencing on the bridge, Porter said. Work will resume once the weather warms up.

Policy Date: 1/1/1991
Policy Number: 9102
9102: Childhood Immunizations: Easy Access versus Requirement for Essential ServicesThe American Public Health Association, Recognizing the importance to the health of children and the nation that all children be fully immunized;1 and Supporting the Year 2000 Objectives to ensure that at least 90 percent of children under age two have received the basic immunizations series;2 and Knowing that through past resolutions (e.g. No. 78053 and No. 87064), the Association has taken a leading role in supporting universal childhood immunization in the United States and abroad; and Being aware that the recent measles epidemic is one indicator of the "failure to deliver vaccine to vulnerable preschool children on schedule;"5 and Being aware of the importance of vaccinating infants against Haemophilus influenzae type b (HIB) disease to prevent death and significant mental retardation;6 and Noting that the proposed expanded funding for immunizations is still not sufficient to meet current and additional recommended dose schedules for vaccines for measles and HIB;7 and Noting that more needs to be done to assure that all preschool children are appropriately immunized, including expanding and improving primary care services which is the most desirable approach to immunization and care of children; and Noting that immunization coverage in developing countries increased from 20 percent to 80 percent between 1980 and 1990, and that WHO, UNICEF and USAID have acquired experience in a number of methods for improving coverage; and Being aware that proposals have been made to make adequate immunization levels a criterion for enrollment of children in Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC), Medicaid, the Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) services that provide basic life support to vulnerable populations;8 and Understanding that the children who are eligible for these programs are among the most vulnerable members of our society who require easy rather than obstructed access to services; and Observing that making immunization a criterion for enrollment is a punitive action which singles out a particular group in the population — which is an inequitable policy; and Noting that such a policy immeasurably complicates access and serves as an additional barrier to already difficult enrollment into WIC, AFDC, and Medicaid; therefore 1. Urges the US Government and the Congress to discontinue any efforts to make AFDC, Medicaid, and WIC-eligibility dependent on immunization status; 2. Urges the US Government, the Congress, and state and local agencies to explore ways of enhancing access to WIC, AFDC, Medicaid, and immunizations through simplified enrollment procedures and improved integration among programs (one-stop shopping);9 and 3. Recommends that CDC, state and local governments and other US-based agencies examine strategies used by WHO, UNICEF and USAID in developing countries to improve immunization coverage in the United States; 4. Supports continued and expanded funding for the immunization program; 5. Supports provision of lower cost vaccines in the public and private sectors and if low cost vaccines cannot be obtained, government production should be considered; 6. Supports continued and expanded funding and universal financial access to make primary care services available and accessible to all children regardless of income status; 7. Supports legislation to mandate coverage to all recommended childhood immunizations by all third party payers; and 8. Urges the Federal Government to provide resources to support local and state data collection efforts to strengthen reinstating national immunization surveillance.References

In case you were wondering how to brew iced tea, we've got you covered!
If you're adding sugar to your tea, you'll want to use the hot method and add the sugar in Step 2. If the sugar doesn't completely dissolve, pour the mixture into a saucepan and heat it up on the stove top until it's all melted.
I make it by sticking a handful of teabags (5-7) in a glass pitcher and then fill it as much as possible with water and...

"In the early '80s, I was sparring butler for Mr. Chuck Norris."A household or personal servant note who acts as a "combat effective" despite their official position having nothing to do with combat. If a Battle Butler is female she will probably wear a suit, even if she is called a maid. If she does wear an appropriate maid outfit, she is a Ninja Maid. If a Battle Butler is also referred to as a bodyguard, you can expect full blown samurai-level abilities; this type of Battle Butler tends to overlap with The Dragon. Will very likely be a Submissive Badass. If they come from a long line of Battle Butlers serving that family, they're in a Legacy of Service. Not to Be Confused with Hayate the Combat Butler, although the eponymous character is definitely an example.

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — Gov. Chris Christie hired a legal team headed by a former federal prosecutor, one day after lawmakers tapped another one to investigate an apparent political payback scandal.
Former federal prosecutor Randy Mastro will lead the team from the firm of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, the administration said in a news release Thursday. The firm will review best practices for office operations and assist with ongoing investigations.
Mastro was an assistant U.S. attorney who specialized in organized crime cases and led the federal government's landmark racketeering suit that compelled the International Brotherhood of Teamsters to hold elections and undergo court supervision, the administration said. He also served as a deputy mayor of New York City.
The U.S. attorney's office in New Jersey and the Legislature are looking into a plot that shut down lanes to the George Washington Bridge for four days in September, causing massive traffic jams in the town of Fort Lee. The plot apparently was hatched by Christie's aides as a political vendetta, possibly because Fort Lee's Democratic mayor wouldn't endorse the Republican governor's re-election.
At a news conference last week, Christie said he would continue interviewing his senior staff to determine if there is any other information he needs to know and take any other action, but he did not indicate his review would go further than that.
Meanwhile, the Legislature on Thursday prepared to issue new subpoenas as part of its investigation.
The subpoenas will be served once the New Jersey Assembly votes to renew its authority to continue the inquiry in the new legislative session. The vote is a formality.
On Wednesday, the Assembly tapped Reid Schar, the federal prosecutor who helped convict former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich of corruption, to aid in the investigation.
Assemblyman John Wisniewski, who is leading the investigation, says the new subpoenas will seek emails and text messages from key Christie aides. Documents that were subpoenaed earlier and released recently showed that a now-fired member of Christie's administration gave the go-ahead to shut down the traffic lanes.
The Republican governor and potential 2016 presidential candidate hasn't been implicated, but the scandal has dogged him. He'll seek to turn the cameras away from the scandal and onto his work as governor when he visits a firehouse Thursday on the Jersey shore, an area devastated by the October 2012 storm. He'll meet there with homeowners midmorning.
The lead prosecutor in the Blagojevich case, Schar has a reputation as a bright, serious-minded workhorse who shuns showmanship and bluster. He co-chairs the white collar defense and investigations practice for the law firm Jenner & Block LLP.
He issued a statement Wednesday saying his firm "understands the importance of this investigation" and will "work diligently" to support the committee.
Blagojevich is serving a 14-year prison term for trying to sell an appointment to President Barack Obama's vacated U.S. Senate seat.

FUSION incites,
celebrates, and inspires community through the art
of story telling. We are dedicated to professional
excellence, the awakening of a new audience, and
the inspiration of our children, the genesis of our
Fusion / n: 1. a merging of diverse,
distinct or separate elements into a unified whole;
2. a political
partnership; 3. the union of atomic nuclei resulting
in the release of enormous quantities of energy
when certain light elements unite.
To that end we will:
1. Produce plays that have immediate audience reference
utilizing universal themes, by playwrights of noted
excellence. Particular focus will be on those playwrights
considered voices of the American experience, i.e.
Great American Plays.
2. Create The Young Artists Festival and Scholarship
Program providing foreign exchange with European
students and an opportunity to perform in professional
venues within and outside of the USA, with emphasis
on economically disadvantaged Native American and
Hispanic populations of New Mexico.
3. Through fundraising, expand our venue, adding
an arts lounge and library where the community may
gather, other arts organizations are publicized and
increased seating capacity for our audiences.
4. Contribute to other performing arts programs,
including those in local schools, by providing rehearsal
facilities, performance venues and technical support.
5. Establish and implement a working manifesto in
accordance with Actors Equity guidelines, insuring
the proper treatment of artists while fostering fastidious
work habits and ideals in rehearsal and performance.
6. Implement a fundraising structure through donations
and grants so as to create an endowment for the financial
provision of our artists and paid positions for working
7. Initiate participation and partnership with local
businesses and government in Albuquerque, promoting
patronage of downtown venues, the geographical heart
of its community.
by Mark Cleveland
Systems Designer by profession
and past President of the FUSION Board of Directors
by avocation
Since its founding in 2001,
FUSION Theatre Company remains New Mexico's only Actors' Equity
theatre. Albuquerque in particular is blessed with
seemingly more theatres per capita than any other
US city, some of which now have ticket prices like
FUSION's, prompting many people to ask us
what being Equity means and why that is important
to this city and state.
The Actors' Equity Association (AEA) is the
union of professional actors and stage managers in
the United States. Because theatre is expensive,
subject to audience whims and therefore risky, actors
have always had to concede earnings just to engage
in their craft. Even on Broadway, the theatrical
heart of the U.S., where shows at least have a good
chance of making money, producers historically have
pressured actors to give up wages in order to land
a part. In the worst days, actors were even expected
to provide their own costumes, no small burden if
you were a chorus girl in a Ziegfeld extravaganza!
FUSION is the only theatre in New Mexico that contracts
with AEA to hire and pay actors. For the professional
actors who work with FUSION, that means they are
paid for every rehearsal and every show, in addition
to having FUSION make the lion's share of payments
that provide them health care and support for retirement
income through the union. FUSION is a vital asset
to professional local actors, all of whom have worked
around the country and have chosen to make their
homes in New Mexico, where they pay taxes, raise
children and support our quality of life in a myriad
of ways, both mundane and unique. Additionally, each
season, FUSION engages several dynamic out-of-town
professionals to supplement the considerable talent
available here.
For our audiences, the designation "Member,
Actors' Equity Association" next to an
actor's name in our programs is assurance that
you're enjoying the work of a highly skilled
professional who has undergone years of training
in the craft and who, by nature of Equity membership
requirements, has proven him or herself to be repeatedly
employed by professional theaters around the nation.
FUSION is dedicated to providing increasing opportunities
for professionals. Throughout our existence, FUSION
has steadily progressed up the "rungs" of
Equity contracts to a level called Small
Professional Theater-Level 4, one notch below the big regional
houses. We are now able to nurture new professionals
by awarding Equity "points" that are
the first steps to full membership. In accord with
our mission and the national recognition we received
this year from the American Theater Wing (producers
of the annual Tony awards) as one of a handful of "Emerging
American Theaters," we recognize the limitations
our lovely but small home, The Cell, places on our
economic growth toward regional status. Our patrons
have noted the moves we're making to break
through that limitation: we've been expanding
offerings in Santa Fe and this year, we're
producing shows at the fabulous Kimo and Lensic Theaters.
With growth comes risk. But, the alternative—stasis—is
unappealing to us and frankly, is not a viable business
option. There are more extremely good Equity actors
in New Mexico than we can currently, regularly employ.
Although many enjoy work as film actors as members
of the sister unions, SAG and AFTRA, having only
one Equity theater in the state—FUSION—is
a present reality we want to expand. In the past,
New Mexico has supported as many as three viable
Equity theatres—one in Albuquerque and two
in Santa Fe. The current recession has quashed others' willingness
to build other fully-fledged Equity theatres; but
FUSION is solidly in the black, supported by a very
strong subscriber base and outstanding local and
national grants.
We're growing and we want our city and state
to grow with us. Take a good look at the outstanding
history FUSION has as one of the premiere theatres
in the nation to produce the best Broadway and the
West End have to offer—and as we frequently
hear, usually at a far higher level than the originals!
Our new season is no exception, bringing four multi-Tony
and Olivier award winners to our knowledgeable and
appreciative patrons. Come see us at our new, exciting
venues, the Kimo and the Lensic! And tell all your
friends what it means to see, hear and enjoy world-class
theatre in our state while ensuring the best professionals
in the field have a first-rate place to work!
We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your
commitment, care and support for this great, odd,
scary, blessed thing called professional theatre!

The 2004 Scarlet Knights will be a highly experienced and competitive team with a roster that boast five seniors, two juniors, four sophomores and only one true freshman. Despite the loss of four-time all-BIG EAST honoree Shayla Bush, RU will be led by an experienced core of players, as four of the five returning starters are seniors.
Dawn Christjaener and Casey Castillo will serve as a source of veteran leadership for the Scarlet Knights in 2004. Castillo, a redshirt senior, is making her return to action after missing the 2003 season due to an injury. Also helping to bolster this group of senior starters are Abbey Martin, Addie Thiry and Stephanie Travioli. In addition, RU will look to juniors Ashleigh Young and Courtney Stout to continue to provide solid contributions on the court.
Abbey Martin will look to duplicate the remarkable season she had in 2003. In just her first season "On the Banks", Martin led the team in assists (1,154) and assists per game (11.10). She tallied double-digit assists in 27 of 28 matches last season and currently holds fifth place on the all-time career list for assists.
Also seeing action at the setter position is sophomore University ofDelaware transfer Jocelyn Greenwald. Greenwald ranked second for the Blue Hens in assists (321) and assists per game (5.18) last year. In 2002, she was named The Record's New Jersey Volleyball Player of the Year.
Providing depth to the position this season will be Tamarie Macon. Named
the team's Most Improved Player in 2003, Macon gained valuable experience
as a
freshman, appearing in eight matches for the Scarlet Knights and recording
3.85 assists per game to rank second on the team.
There will be some new faces at the right side position for the Scarlet Knights, as three players will make the switch this season. Senior Stephanie Travioli, the lone returning player at the right side position, was tied for third on the team with 20 service aces and ranked fourth in kills per game (1.73) and total blocks (53) last year. Joining her will be Macon, redshirt senior Casey Castillo and sophomore Lora Yankauskas.
The middle hitters will be led by senior Addie Thiry and junior Ashleigh Young. Both were dominant forces at that position last season. As the recipient of the team's 2003 Best Defensive Player Award, Young led the Scarlet Knights in total blocks with 133 (22 solo, 111 assists) and blocks per game (1.27). Young also showed her versatility as she ranked third on the team in kills (230) and kills per game (2.19). Thiry will help to anchor the middle hitter position, as last season marked the second consecutive year that she ranked second on the team in total blocks with 104 (20 solo, 84 assists) and blocks per game (1.02).
Adding depth will be freshman Amanda Meyer. The Scarlet Knights' sole incoming freshman was ranked as a top 250 recruit by prepvolleyball.com. As a member of the Naperville North High School volleyball team, Meyer led her squad to four consecutive Dupage Valley Conference titles.
Senior Dawn Christjaener had a standout season in 2003 and she will look to do the same in 2004. Christjaener ranked second on the team in kills (351), kills per game (3.41), and digs (256). Last season she twice recorded a team-high 24 digs (Oregon 9/5, Seton Hall 10/4), and she begins the year sixth on the all-time career digs list with 881.
Joining her is junior Courtney Stout, who is coming off a season in which she split time as the libero. Stout appeared in all 28 matches for the Scarlet Knights and ranked third on the team with 191 digs. Yankauskas will round out an already talented group of outside hitters. She played in 20 matches last season and recorded double-digit kills on three separate occasions.
Also making her return to the outside hitter position is Castillo. She missed the entire 2003 season due to injury, but she is now healthy and expects to have a major impact on the program in 2004.
The libero duties will be handled by sophomore Justine Park. Park saw action in 18 matches for the Scarlet Knights last season, and she recorded a service ace in three consecutive matches against St. Peter's (9/13), Furman (9/19) and FAMU (9/20). Backing up Park will be Stout, who did see action last season as the team's libero.
The Rutgers 2004 schedule is once again highly competitive as RU will play its first 13 matches on the road. Rutgers will compete in five tournaments, including the BIG EAST Challenge, which the Scarlet Knights will host on Oct. 1-2.
RU begins its season with the Penn State Invitational on Sept. 3-4. The Scarlet Knights will open the tournament against 2003 NCAA Tournament Quarterfinalist Penn State, followed by matches against Brigham Young and Quinnipiac on day two. Next up will be the Radisson Invitational on Sept. 10-11. In addition to tournament host Western Michigan, RU will take on Marquette and first-time opponent Maine.
The Scarlet Knights will resume tournament play when they take on Rhode Island, Harvard and New Hampshire at the URI Invitational on Sept. 17-18. This tournament marks the first time RU will face Rhode Island since leaving the Atlantic-10 and joining the BIG EAST in 1995. The Scarlet Knights will then head to Fairfax, VA, to participate in the Patriot Invitational. Rutgers will take on Stony Brook on Sept. 24 and close out the tournament with matches against Towson and 2003 CAA champion George Mason on Sept. 25. The Scarlet Knights will make one final stop at Temple before returning home to host the BIG EAST Challenge. RU is set to take on the 2003 Atlantic-10 Conference champion Owls on Sept. 28.
The Scarlet Knights will host the BIG EAST Challenge on Oct. 1-2. Connecticut and Villanova will kick off the two-day event, followed by Rutgers and Boston College. The consolation and championship rounds will take place on the following day of competition. Although the participating teams are BIG EAST members, the results of these contests will not count toward the individual teams' BIG EAST regular-season records.
BIG EAST Conference play begins for the Scarlet Knights with a three-match home stand against Notre Dame on Oct. 9, Syracuse on Oct. 10 and Seton Hall on Oct. 15. Rutgers will break from its BIG EAST schedule and travel to Manhattan College to take on the Jaspers on Oct. 17, before finishing the season with seven BIG EAST opponents. Rutgers will be on the road for three consecutive BIG EAST contests, first taking on Boston College on Oct. 22, followed by Connecticut on Oct. 24 and St. John's on Oct. 29. The Scarlet Knights return home to face 2003 BIG EAST Conference champion Pittsburgh on Nov. 5, followed by a match against West Virginia on Nov. 7. RU will conclude the regular season with two road matches against Georgetown on Nov. 12 and Villanova on Nov. 14. The BIG EAST Championship will be held on Nov. 20-21 at the Fitzgerald Field House on the campus of the University of Pittsburgh.

If you have kids …
what names do they like? Just wondering since this came up recently with my boys!
Alex wants to have 2 girls and a boy, named Eleanor, Lotto (!) and Isaac.
Will initially wanted to have 10 kids but got tired trying to think of that many names and started paring down his list. He wants to have twin boys named Isaac and Jackson. If he has more, he'll also have William, Jake and Aaron. His naming style seems fairly similar to mine.

An apparent fan of an often overlooked Miss Riley, this time-traveler is an eighteen year-old design junkie who has a habit of overly investing way too much feelings for fictional people. One who enjoys cooping inside the secret recesses of her room (which frankly is lit only by the dim glow of cathode rays), she holds a firm belief that Elizabeth Taylor's eyebrows were the most perfect human parentheses this world has ever seen, and a lifelong dream of one day swimming in a pool of Cheerios. Some fairies and dinosaurs refer to her as dockyard human disaster, but most of the time, she is simply called Pepper.

UK based developer Rare Studios is the creative brain behind popular Kinect based titles such as Kinect Sports, Kinect Sports: Season Two and Kinect Sports Rivals still remains an important part of Microsoft despite Microsoft's decision to unbundle Kinect from Xbox One. Phil Spencer recently said that the studio is independent to chose their next project and they are "evaluating what they want to do next". Today, Eurogamer reported that Rare has experienced layoffs following underwhelming sales of Kinect Sports Rivals and around 16 people have been let go. Microsoft commented the following regarding layoffs, "At Xbox, our goal is to constantly create new fun, social and interactive entertainment experiences. As part of Rare's commitment to this goal, we have made a decision to change our development process and methodology at Rare to best support our future projects, this has led to us reviewing the skills and the makeup of our development ...Read More →

On the surface the Rieju does enough to be considered ahead of bikes from more established brands like Honda – with a fast engine and extras like a quickshifter with the R version - but poor build quality and bad handling can't be ignored.
124cc, 15bhp, mph, Insurance group
At £3999 OTR there are cheaper 125s but then none of those rivals have the same heritage or kudos. Despite making only 15bhp it's great fun to ride - the fact the new four-stroke engine thrives on revs keeps the old RS spirit alive. It handles well, stops well, and most importantly looks the part. What more could a 17-year-old ...
124cc, 13.1bhp, 70mph, Insurance group 6
The CBR125R has been yet another of Honda's success stories. In its seven years of production, the sporty-looking learner 125cc has sold by the ship load all over the world, with good reason. It is easy to ride, comfortable, gives good fuel economy and, above all, it's a Honda… For 2011 the CBR125R has been updated. The mini-emperor has new ...

Cheap Hobbies: Getting Started with Naked-Eye Astronomy
Published on - September 7th, 2006 (by J.D. Roth)
We lived in the country when I was a boy, far from the city lights. My father would take me outside at night and point to the stars. "That's Orion," he'd say, and he would help me trace The Hunter's outline. "That's the Big Dipper. The Big Dipper isn't really a constellation, but it's like one. And do you see that big red star over there? The one that doesn't twinkle? That's the planet Mars."
I was in awe. A life-long love of space grew from this stargazing. Other astronomy highlights from my youth include:
- Sleeping outside to watch meteor showers.
- Viewing the surface of the moon through a telescope.
- Visits to the Kendall Planetarium and its skyshows.
- Watching Carl Sagan's Cosmos.
- Founding a short-lived college astronomy club with two friends — we took people out to nearby farms to look at the stars.
Astronomy is a perfect low-cost hobby to share with children. If you want to introduce a kid to naked-eye astronomy, or if you're curious yourself, find a copy of H.A. Rey's The Stars: A New Way to See Them. Rey — best-known for creating Curious George — published this book in 1952, but it's just as useful today. How good is it? It was one of the texts for my college-level astronomy class. All 45 reviews at Amazon give the book five stars.
Rey writes:
This book is meant for people who want to know just enough about the stars to be able to go out at night and find the major constellations, for the mere pleasure of it.
- A brief introduction to naked-eye astronomy
- Seventeen constellation charts that make it simple to pick out their shapes in the stars.
- A timetable and series of star charts to help you find the constellations in any season.
- A fifty-page survey of more esoteric astronomy topics, such as declination and right ascension, azimuth and the ecliptic, the procession of the equinoxes, and more. This section is at the back of the book, and perfect for adults who want to learn more, or for curious older children.
Normally I'd recommend borrowing this book from your local library, but The Stars: A New Way to See Them is so good and so useful that it's worth spending ten bucks to own it. That one expenditure is all you need to enjoy naked-eye astronomy as a hobby.
Fun and easy astronomy projects include:
- Create a list of the brightest stars and check them off as you see them.
- Learn where the planets are in the sky and attempt to identify them.
- Choose one constellation a week. Learn its shape and its relative position in the sky. Research lore about it and the stars that create its shape.
- Make an astronomy scavenger hunt for your kids or for your spouse.
- Spend a month observing the changing phases of the moon. It can be startling for kids to realize that the moon isn't always out at night. The reasons for this can be difficult to understand, even for adults.
- Read about famous astronomers and what they contributed to the science.
- If you own a pair of binoculars, explore objects like the Pleiades and the Andromeda Galaxy.
A knowledge of the night sky makes camping more enjoyable. It even makes sitting in the back yard on a summer evening more enjoyable!
GRS-reader Fraser, host of the astronomy weblog Universe Today, helped produce a free e-book for astronomy enthusiasts. He writes:
Astronomy is an excellent and cheap hobby. I haven't spent a penny on it in years. Earlier this year, I released a free 400+ page book containing things to see every night of the year. We're working on the 2007 version now, and it'll be free too. There's great advice in the book about how to get started, as well as plenty of links in the back.
Universe Today is a fine source for astronomy information. Other sites that I've found useful or fun include:
- Jack Horkheimer: Stargazer includes video segments for free download (in ugh RealPlayer format)
- NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day
- Nick Strobel's Astronomy Without a Telescope
- This thread at AskMetafilter: What's your favorite astronomy photo?
The news of Pluto's demotion from Planet to Dwarf Planet sent shock-waves among the children I know. "If they can change this, they can change other things," said precocious nine-year-old Lydia. "So why should I bother to learn anything?"
("That's science," said my wife, a scientist. "It's constantly changing as we learn more.")
Six-year-old Antonio is concerned, too. He enters first grade this week, and he's been learning about the solar system at home. He has a book on every planet, including Pluto. But now that it's not a planet any more, what is he to do?
It's great to see kids concerned about the subject. I love that their parents have taken the time to share the planets with them. Astronomy is a fun and inexpensive way to explore the universe around us.
This article is about Frugality, Odds and Ends
We do that here with our 3 boys. I love watching their faces when they have discovered a new constellation.
Free software is a great way to save money too, and there are two great pieces of space/star software:
1) Stellarium: You're in a field looking at the sky. You enter your coordinates, and the sky as it looks at the moment is displayed. You can fast-forward/rewind the time, watching the stars progress and the sun and moon rise and set. You can toggle the constelations outlines. Lots of cool features, short learning curve. Very fun!
2) Celestia: You can zoom arround space, visiting other planets and stars, and even viewing the milky-way from far off. Not exactly good for constelation viewing, but it can give a better perspective on scale in the universe. It's got a slightly longer learning curve, but it's really fun to use.
Both run on Linux, Windows and OSX.
Tip: If you're using stellarium outside at night, get some red plastic paper (like that clear plastic giftwrap) to cover your monitor with so you don't ruin your night vision.
I'll second the Stellarium rec – you can not only toggle outlines of the constellations, but you can toggle pictures of what they represent as well. I could spend hours playing with this program…
I just discovered your blog, and am very eager to poke around — so much interesting material here. You might be interested in my blog project, which sounds a bit like yours: this year, I'm test-driving all tips, rules, scientific studies, and wisdom of the ages about how to be happy, and reporting on what works. Today I wrote about a piece on money and happiness that I did for the Wall Street Journal Online–also an issue of interest to you. Ok, now I'm off to read your survey, "What Does Money Mean to You?" Congrats on a great site — be happy! Gretchen
[...] I'm not sure why I'm writing about the Burning Crusade, or if I'll be able to resist the temptation of playing it at least for a little while. The bar tabs keep adding up, and the fifteen dollar a month fee to play WoW sure was cheaper than going out so much. I tried searching for a cheap hobby, and Google gave me this: Naked Eye Astronomy … at least there is nudity involved. [...]
[...] don't require professional grade equipment, but why would you?), running or hiking, chess, Naked Eye Astronomy, website design, drawing, writing poetry, and the list goes on. I do several of these things [...]

Out of the many possible locations a woman could go into labor, I always figured "on an airplane" to be right up there with "the backseat of a taxi" in terms of comfort and, well, hygiene. Long story short: Not the best place to have a baby. But apparently it was as good a birthing place as any for the woman who delivered a son on a Philippine Airlines flight bound for San Francisco on Tuesday.
Amazingly, mom and baby are both doing well. I mean, at 35 weeks pregnant, 41-year-old Aida Alamillo was definitely pushing her luck by taking a long international trip ... or was she? Turns out some airlines are surprisingly well-prepared for in-flight births, while others might not even have allowed a woman in Alamillo's state to board the plane at all.
It's weird to me that such an important safety regulation isn't consistent from airline to airline. And it's not even like the policies differ only in random details or footnotes about legal responsibility.
Take Delta, for instance. There are no restrictions at all regarding pregnancy and domestic or international travel, though Delta does "advise" that women "consult their doctors."
Over on the other end of the cautionary spectrum, you've got American Airlines and restrictions galore. For domestic travel, a doctor's letter is required if you're travelling within four weeks of your due date; travelling within seven days of your due date requires both the doctor's letter plus clearance by an AA special-assistance coordinator. For international travel, you need a doctor's letter within 30 days of your due date (which must be signed within 48 hours of departure); an additional clearance by a special-assistance coordinator is mandatory for flights within 10 days of your due date.
Accordingly, on some airlines (usually on domestic flights), the only assistance available will be a flight attendant with a first-aid kid; on others, there'll be specially trained attendants and hospital-grade gear like forceps.
Still sounds pretty far from my dream birth experience, even if some babies born in the air get perks like free travel for life!
I've never flown more than around 6-and-a-half months pregnant, so I don't have too much personal experience to draw from on this topic, but I can say that I was fairly uncomfortable flying even that far along. So unless it was for some extremely urgent reason, I personally would probably avoid getting on a plane during my last trimester -- definitely my last month.
Would you fly during your last month of pregnancy?
Image via David Sanz/Flickr
HA! I want free flights for life!
I flew when I was about 6 months pregnant. Can't say I'd do it again if I had a choice. Being scrunched into a coach seat with the baby smushed up against my stomach gave me the heartburn from hell.
I also find it odd that the policies differ so much from airline to airline. I do agree that if they're going to allowe pregnant women that close to their due date to fly, the flight crew should have training in emergency birth procedures and the equipment they'd need. Because if you go into labor in the air - especially if you're over the ocean - you're kind of stuck. But you'd think they'd have a more universal policy, y'know?
Sara-but if there was a medical emergency she would have been screwed, in which case an experienced person would be um...helpful to save baby, not just a doc>
No I would not fly that far long in my pregnancy because it would be uncomfortable. It's not the birthing thing it's that cramped quarters with people I don't want to be with if that were to happen. Plus a plane would absolutely suck, no room.
I wonder what they put for place of birth on the birth certificate?
No, I definitely would not fly the last month of pregnancy. I wouldn't even fly the first month of pregnancy!!
I think flying while pregnant is safer than someone flying with a heart condition or many other health aliments. If you fly pregnant, yes you could give birth on the plane, but if you had a heart attack on the plane, well that just seems pretty risky to me
Unless it was an emergency where I had no choice but to fly then yes. Other than that no. Truth is I hate flying and airplanes, so it would have to be something really important for me to even consider getting on the plane.

Small typo in the header, maybe. It's supremacy, according to dictionary.com, at least.
The mountains are much better, but could still use a tiny bit of mixing up - first thing I zoomed in on was triplets in the lower right corner. I wonder if distorting them a bit could help?

Not bad. I have a couple of concerns.
1] It should appear to be able to be traversed by land if need be.
2] Won't the layer stroke mess that up?
3] How did you achieve that effect?

That said thanks for the idea of having those three called "The Triplets" by the locals since they look so much alike

Can't blame you for hating mountains

Okay here's an idea I had for the Saltmarsh/Floodplain.
I am sure it violates all kinds of river police rules, but I think it conveys what I want it to convey.
Dude, thanks for that link. It's the motherlode! I just might lose myself there for a few days.

Trendy? Check. Flattering silhouettes? Check. Eccentric fabrics for every taste? Check. Eco-concious? HUGE check. Jungle Gurl really has nailed the formula for a progressive up and coming brand. Close friend of Melody Ehsani, founder Natalie Golonka aimed to create a line from the various fabrics she collected during her international travels as a model and actress. Focusing on the eco-friendly concept of reworking vintage fabrics, Natalie upcycles the uniquely textured and patterned fabric into desirable bikinis, cover ups, and dresses. Having spent her formative years in Fiji and Hawaii, an exotic, beachy influence is present in all her pieces. For a deeper look at Natalie's concept and inspiration peep this interview from Vimby!
What does a newbie swimwear maven do when her friend is a jewelry guru? Put together a Limited Edition set of bikinis! The Jungle Gurl x Melody Ehsani collab comes in 2 styles (the Mikaela and the Kelia) in a standout gold foil leopard print fabric. Also part of the collab are a necklace and earrings. Cop both suits at Karmaloop, and pair them with one of Jungle Gurl's signature "beach to boardroom" cover ups such as the Brandy Dress and the Ali Kimono Dress. We look forward to watching this concept develop further!

After a fire broke out early Thursday at St. Rocco's Bakery, residents of surrounding houses were asked to evacuate by .
Det. Christopher Albin, who was assigned to the case, said it was necessary "due to the intensity of the fire and the relationship of the bakery to nearby homes."
Numerous fire departments from surrounding areas responded to assist the in extinguishing the blaze and to prevent it from spreading, said Det. Albin.
Director of the Building Department, Richard Summa, said construction to the new bakery was almost three-quarters of the way finished when the fire occurred.
"It was engulfed," said bakery owner, Lisa. "It's pretty devastating."
She pointed to a wall adjacent to the bakery, covered in black ash, saying it "stopped her [neighbor's] garage from going on fire."
The incident follows an after a fire partially destroyed the building in December, 2007.
Calls reporting the large fire were received at approximately 3:10 a.m., according to Det. Albin. The bakery was scheduled to open this fall.
The fire has been deemed suspicious in nature and is currently under review by the Arson Bomb Squad, the Fire Marshal's Office, and the Glen Cove Police Department. No injuries were reported.
Anyone with information regarding the fire is asked to contact the Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-244-TIPS. All calls will remain anonymous.

Description of project
openQRM is the world's first open source systems management platform. Its plugin architecture manages monitoring systems and virtual servers, and automates common day-to-day tasks in enterprise data centers.
Trove info
Why and how did you get started?
The proprietary world of large-scale systems management was overdue for an open source solution. Businesses clearly needed a freely available, open source licensed systems management solution.
What is the software's intended audience?
System administrators, IT managers
How many people do you believe are using your software?
There are hundreds, but we don't know the actual number since the software doesn't perform any invasive user tracking.
What are a couple of notable examples of how people are using your software?
Primarily, openQRM is used to create high availability environments for applications, perform monitoring through Nagios, and act on alerts.
What gave you an indication that your project was becoming successful?
In the first 90 days of the project being publicly available, we passed 10,000 downloads, added 12 external developers, and broke into the top 25 projects on SourceForge.
What has been your biggest surprise?
The number of users and downloads. This is a systems management tool for data centers, and we didn't expect such quick, widespread adoption.
What has been your biggest challenge?
Supporting the numerous Linux/Unix flavors that are used by the community.
Why do you think your project has been so well received?
We attribute our success to the fact that we're filling a need in the community. The project also has contributors from around the world, so no matter what time it is when you post a question, someone is usually available to answer it.
Where do you see your project going?
Currently, we're expanding the number of plugins available for the project. While we can manage Nagios, Xen, VMware, and others, we receive new requests and contributions from the community on a weekly basis. We also see the number of external developers increasing between now and the end of the year.
What's on your project wish list?
While we're constantly trying to improve support for the various flavors of Unix/Linux, full Windows support for both the server and the nodes is at the top of our list. We're also working on stronger integration with storage devices.
What are you most proud of?
That our team is made up of people from around the world, all with different perspectives on the problems we're trying to solve. It gives the project a unique advantage.
If you could change something about the project, what would it be?
Documentation and testing. We've done a good job on documentation, but there is always room for improvement. On the testing side, we could use additional developers/users to help keep up with the plugins and other submissions we get from the community.
How do you coordinate the project?
We have a list of things that need to be done, and people choose what they want to do. If there are things that are still open, we assign them according to a particular developer's skill set. Bugs are assigned according to the developer who maintains a particular component.
Do you work on the project full-time, or do you have another job?
Half of the developers work for Qlusters (the company that sponsors openQRM), the other half come from the community. Several of the community members are from projects like Nagios and openSIMS. Others actually use and maintain openQRM installations in their day-to-day jobs.
If you work on the project part-time, how much time would you say you spend, per week, on it?
It varies from person to person. We have people working on it only 10% of their time, and others who spend 100% of their time on the project. The people who spend all of their time on the project are sponsored by Qlusters.
What is your development environment like?
Variety of x86 boxes running various Linux distros, Solaris, FreeBSD, etc. We use the gcc compiler, Java, the Eclipse IDE, VI, Bugzilla, kDevelop, and many other common tools.
How can others contribute?
We're always looking for people to contribute to the project. Currently, we're looking for help in the following areas:
