Estadio Jose Antonio Huelga (Sancti Spiritus)
Our visit here was for a night game on a cool evening. Night games are great in Cuba, because it's cooler, people are off from work and are out for a good time. Best of all, this was a well-played game, with plenty of action, controversial plays and arguments over umpire calls, topped off by a walk-off home run.
The park holds about 12,000 fans. Although it looks larger from the outside, there are no outfield seats. There was a lot of activity outside the park, with by far the most variety of concessions. We also had the chance to meet the League Commissioner.
Like other parks, the section behind home plate features ground-level field boxes, about 13 rows of bench seats, and a press box that held about 20 people.
Since this was a rare night game, we were able to check out something new to me at a ballpark -- the foul poles feature full-length florescent lights. We were not able to come to a conclusion as to whether the lights make it easier for the umps to rule a ball fair or foul, and we wondered if these have been tried in any U.S. minor-league park.
Estadio N.Guyen Van-Troi (Guantanamo)
This game and this ballpark really showed how exciting Cuban baseball can be -- a night game, completely packed with 25,000+ fans, for a game against a western rival, Habana. A great band playing a style of hypnotic Cuban jazz had everyone dancing and waving large Cuban flags. The entire upper deck was lined with police and other security officers to maintain order, but this did not seem to limit the fans' excitement. There were several vendors offering sandwiches and snacks, inside and outside the park.
Like some other parks, the Guantanamo ballpark has an enclosed box seat area between the dugouts, right behind home. This area, while protected by chain link fencing, provides a great view of the field and good camera access), especially for plays at the plate, and there were several, including the tying run. To top it off, Guantanamo came from behind and won on a bases-loaded walk-off walk.Estadio Guillermon Moncada (Santiago de Cuba)
Santiago de Cuba is the oldest and second largest city in Cuba (pop. almost 500,000), founded by the Spanish in 1514. It is also the location of Moncada Barracks, where Castro began his movement to overthrow the Batista regime in 1953. Estadio Guillermon Moncadaseats about 25,000.
Like some other Cuban ballparks, an interesting feature is three rows of box seats under the grandstand, at field level, that run from the dugouts to the foul poles. These seats have the benefit of a close view of the infield, as well as a guarantee of shade. Since Santiago is a major ballpark, there was a good selection of sandwiches and snacks, with vendors walking throughout the park.
After the game we encountered a busy market of game hats and jerseys for sale from both teams, including a game-worn World Baseball Classic BP jersey.
Estadio Julio Antonio Mella (Las Tunas)
The ballpark in Las Tunas (home of Los Cocodrilos) is typical of the smaller parks in rural cities in Cuba. Most of the seating is cement, and the grandstands appear to have been built at different times. The first-base and right-field stands are continuous out to center field, but look older than the two separate grandstands on the third-base line. All the stands have a partial roof, providing some shade, depending on the sun.
A colorful feature is the pair of large figures of Cuban National Team players, one on each side of the center field scoreboard. On the center-field wall, two large baseballs are painted with retired players' names and numbers. The park has a few food concessions, and there are some small stands outside as well.
We came home with a wonderful experience of Cuba and Cuban baseball, which will always be in our thoughts when attending games in the US. We love our great new, comfortable ballparks (majors and minors), large food selection and cold microbrews, but games in Cuba seem to present a baseball experience focused completely on the game. Admission to the games is free, and people of all ages gather for the purpose of watching the games and rooting for their team. Despite the scarcity of food and drinks, souvenirs, entertainment and, in some parks, decent rest rooms, these parks were all packed with people watching the baseball game and rooting for their team. Just a great baseball experience.

Ted Talks storytelling techniques: How to Deliver a Great TED talk

how to give a ted talk, how to deliver a ted talk, how to deliver a ted talk pdf, how to give a good ted talk, how to give a great ted talk, how to give ted talks, how to give the perfect ted talk, how to give the talk, how to make a ted talk, how to write a ted talk, i want to give a ted talk, presentation skills coaching, presentation skills tips, presentation skills training, presentation skills training courses, tips on presentation skills
What is the secret to delivering a great TED talk?
What is the magic ingredient that makes a TED talk captivating?
TED talks (www.Ted.com) are some of the most inspiring and amazing talks you'll watch. Each presentation is eighteen minutes long, meaning that speakers on the TED stage have a difficult job. They have to distill their expertise and their life's work into only eighteen minutes. Essentially, they only have time to share one idea, which requires them to ask the question:
"If I could leave my audience with only one single key takeaway message, what would it be? If my audience was to forget everything else I said, what one single idea or lesson would I want them to remember?"
Not only are the ideas that are shared on the TED stage profound, the speakers themselves are some of the best presenters you'll ever see. Unlike the boring, dull, lifeless corporate presentations you hear these days, TED talks are powerful and captivating. They keep you hooked onto every word. The speakers on the TED stage are confident, powerful and persuasive.
So, what is it that makes these TED talks so inspiring?
What are the secrets of delivering a powerful TED talk?
And more importantly, how can you use those secrets to make your presentations more powerful, dynamic and engaging?
To try to answer these questions, I studied over 200 of the best TED talks. I broke each TED talk down in terms of structure, message and delivery.
So, what did I discover?
What was the magic ingredient that made a TED talk captivating?
What was it that made the best TED talks inspiring - which is a word that is often associated with TED talks?
Here's what I discovered. After studying over 200 TED talks, the one commonality among all the great TED talks is that they contain stories. Essentially, the best speakers on the TED stage were the ones who had mastered the art of storytelling. They had mastered how to craft and present their stories in a way that allowed them to share their message with the world without seeming like they were lecturing their audience. That's just one of the advantages of stories - they allow you to share your message without your audience feeling like you're preaching to them, which in turn makes it easier for them to accept your message

zabarte road from SM Fairview is towards the left side bound to ayala terraces and robinson side once you reach sacred heart academy fronting 7-11, BDo and Metrobank its Zabarte Road .. go straight ahead until you saw on the right side the mercury drug and jollibee fronting it is North Olympus Exec Village
This is my first time to comment my experience so i will first apologise on my story…I just went this afternoon to try their medical linggam and it was great…I just got some minor hassle when i arrive because there is no one in the front desk so i just need to call to inform them and they only have one masseur at that time at that moment to accomodate you so i need to wait for a moment there but for me i don't mind those thing…When the massage start at first i'm a bit hesitant if they really going to perform the medical massage like other spa that i went in the past were they will only do some hocus pocus…but here their medical massage is really great they are really professional when they are performing their massage and they will really take their time when they massage you…just what j_dv said this massage is not for those who are easily aroused people because you will not long enough just like me were i only lasted for about 10mins when the main part start…ahaha…even though you have some experience their massage is really great…I will definetly return here to try it again…
I went to Panacea Wellness Spa all the way from Singapore where I work and stay with my family… The place was clearly describe by J_dv and I followed instructions from NAIA and I was able to see the Spa right on its very spot… The spa was popular in Singapore selling this Optrimax and Stem Cell and since I read about Medical Lingam I tried it as well… Oh I'm amazed that they only offer male therapist for male clients to do Lingam at first I'm hesitant but due to curiosity I gave it a try… Wholla its fantastic I never thought I will have erection like that in my entire life… I gonna tell my workmates to try it too when they visit the Philippines. I'm also grateful to meet Dr. Lavaro at the spa. He is the speaker in our Medical Convention last December of 2012. I joined his medical group of practitioners dispensing Jeunesse the Human Adult stem cell derived products…
Tried this yesterday with an ex significant other (talk about post-relationship bonding huh?!)
The place, though far especially for those who will be commuting, is easy to find. Thanks to Google map. Google in Panacea Wellness Spa and your search result will readily give you a map on top right corner. Click on the map to zoom in or out.
Conversely though, just take the whole stretch of Commonwealth Ave., skipping Regalado Ave. where commuter buses and jeepneys normally pass. Instead, go straight to the newly opened Commonwealth Avenue extension until you reached a perpendicular road (that will be Quirino Ave.), right in front of you will be an LTO office. Turn right until you reached a traffic lighted intersection with 7-11 on the left. Take the left turn going to Zabarte Road, then go straight until you see the gate of North Olympus to your left.
At the gate, you will have to leave an ID with the guard. Go straight (that will be Olympus Ave.) until you reached Athena St. Turn right, and then right again until you see Bethlehem St., Panacea will be on your right. All roads of North Olympus are appointed with street signs so it will be easy.
The spa is in a residential complex, so as expected the establishment is a house converted into cubicles and rooms and whatnots. The frontdesk, which is situated into what seems to be a former garage area, is manned by the proprietor himself. I think.
The bestseller is, yes, the medical lingam. We came all the way from east QC, both skipping work, to far-flung residential area of west QC just so we can experience what they are raving about lingam and just for the heck of experiencing it. And I must say… the experience is worth the hassle (and the absence from work haha!)
However, do know that they have limited number of therapist. They have 2 male therapists and 2 female therapists. Though there seems to be on-call staff/facialists/aesthetician as they also have facial/warts removal services. Another client had to wait for his turn for full hour as the 2 therapist are occupied with us. It's better (they say) to book your appointment prior to coming (no pun intended).
The spa is open from 9am to 12mn. But they could extend, depending on appointment, as some of the therapists are living-in the spa.
The lingam is Php800. It was done in deliberate, long and unhurried sensual way. It was gooooodd! But this thing is not for the easily aroused or those who haven't had laid for quite sometime or you will burst halfway thru the routine. (I am speaking for my ex. I can hear deep breath during the session. Nahihiya ako for him, the bastard; can't even contain himself! Lol
I don't see any "medical" about it, may be because I do not have any erection problem. Though my therapist tried to work hard applying the moves on me, I almost told him: it's not you, it's me! I just had one too many these past few nights. Hahaha! Seriously though, for a man who have erection problem – this may actually work and I may very well believe it's "medical".
Man this long! You could have actually skipped the upper part of this comment because what I really just wanted to say is the experience was well worth it. It was done the not sleazy extra service way but professionally. But since the place is way too far.. plan your visit, call ahead, invite a friend who got ride, and most importantly – ENJOY! But try to hold on for a bit. Huwag masyado excited, control and contain at first – and boy you will be in for a new explosive experience. LOL!
Masseur and Masseuse are not allowed to interact with clients… They do the procedure professionally. The package includes therapy massage with points to stimulate reproductive system to conduct the final 10 minutes trial of release but the release is optional. We also ban therapist to talk to client if you experience such please email me ASAP so we can call the attention of the therapist.

I found this spa in the heart of North Olympus as referred by my friends.. I live in Philcoa and with all the spa I have tried the masseur I tried here are professional with a doctor at the reception… Yes a Doctor by profession called my attention by giving information on what type of massage I can avail.. I tried Medical Lingam with additional time for signature massage and it took me two hours of body massage then a rouine of their Lingam Massage and its a great experience… It was one of the best massage I experience and I will surely be coming back specially the effect of their Lingam massage seems to have therapeutic effect really… I will also inform my elder sister to go their because the doctor explain to me about Yoni therapeutic massage for female…

I went to Panacea Wellness Spa last night after going to church….for relaxation and comfort… The place seems to be located within the heart of the village… It seems that their facade is ongoing renovation of their upcoming tea shop and ice cream bar beside its spa reception area… So when I tried their massage services I go for the Prime Leisure Massage because its a Medical Lingam and wow the massage was so perfectly heaven I reach the highest point of what we call heaven and until now I m having such erection… Truly it's a medical Lingam and I recommend it with my friends… Just for 800 pesos

May 14, 2013, 10:44 AM — The Android threat landscape is growing in both size and complexity with cybercriminals adopting new distribution methods and building Android-focused malware services, according to a report from Finnish security vendor F-Secure.
The number of mobile threats has increased by nearly 50 percent during the first three months of 2013, from 100 to 149 families and variants, F-Secure said in its Mobile Threat Report for Q1 2013 that was released on Tuesday. Over 91 percent of those threats target the Android platform and the rest target Symbian.
"While the raw amount of Android malware continues to rise significantly, it is the increased commoditization of those malware that is the more worrying trend," the F-Secure researchers said in the report. "The Android malware ecosystem is beginning to resemble that which surrounds Windows, where highly specialized suppliers provide commoditized malware services."
One example of this is an Android Trojan program dubbed Stels that was distributed through fake Internal Revenue Service emails sent by the Cutwail spam botnet during the first quarter of 2013.
Those spam emails contained links that directed recipients to a website asking them to download and update their Flash Player software. This "fake update" social engineering technique has been used in the past to distribute Windows or Mac malware.
"By installing the so-called 'Flash Player,' the victim unknowingly grants the trojan the permission to make phone calls," the F-Secure researchers said. "Stels will capitalize on this permission to reap profit by placing long-lined (a.k.a. short-stopped) calls while the device owner is asleep."
Traditionally, Android malware writers have tricked mobile users into installing malicious applications on their devices by passing them off as legitimate apps on Google Play or third-party app stores. According to the F-Secure researchers, the new email-based distribution method now extends the risk of malware infection to Android users who are not actively searching for new apps, but are regularly checking email from their phones and tablets.
However, not only financially motivated cybercriminals have started using email to distribute Android malware -- hacker groups behind targeted attacks do it too.

Analytics Driving Transition in Video
The future of video is now.
Image is everything. Marketing people have been telling us that for years, and a popular maker of consumer cameras has even used it as an advertising slogan. It may be a simplistic overstatement, but for the security industry right now, image, if not everything, is "the thing."
The way we capture and analyze video images is rapidly changing the industry and the scope of services provided. We are in the midst of a dramatic transition in video technology and applications, with video analytics as a key driver.
Video analytics bring sophisticated information technology to security solutions and move typical systems beyond basic security. They not only provide information that can help secure people and property; they improve business processes and productivity.
Part of the convergence in the industry is the blending of digital analytic software and firmware with typical security applications such as access control and video monitoring. This merging of technologies is producing a powerful set of business tools that take security solutions to new and higher levels.
Traditionally, electronic security has been reactive, meaning the system waits for a security event to occur. The event trips an alarm and the system reacts. Analytics "see" much more than the standard system and do more than react to security breaches. They use algorithms that can detect behaviors and actions that may lead to security events, and they can help identify security vulnerabilities in the environment. This makes for a proactive system that may prevent certain actions or, at least, allow for a quicker and more effective reaction.
The data gathered from analytics also provides insight that can lead to proactive design improvements in security solutions. With analytics, security professionals can more quickly identify problem areas or trouble spots and work to build in measures to secure these areas.
The evolution of analytics has been dramatic over the last few years. Currently, some applications are more consistent and reliable than others. The more highly refined and proven technologies include the following.
Perimeter Protection. A number of companies offer software that can help detect objects entering a predefined area. The software or the user creates a virtual electronic tripwire. When an object crosses this virtual line, the software starts recording input from cameras focused on the area.
Left Object. Analytic software can accurately identify new static changes to the video field. For example, it can alert operators to a briefcase left unattended in an airport terminal or new graffiti spray painted on a building.
Automated Number Plate Recognition (ANPR). This technology captures vehicle license plate numbers and automatically searches an extensive database to match them with registration information. Law enforcement officials can quickly retrieve vehicle ownership information directly from the software. It also can track movement of assets marked with a number plate, such as shipping containers.
Line (Queue) Analysis. Retailers know that long checkout lines turn away customers. Software that analyzes checkout lines is useful in helping plan staffing levels and in providing better customer service. This technology can also provide a long-queue alert in real time so the store manager can redeploy staff to the registers.
People Counting. Aptly named, this software counts people as they enter a business or area. It provides businesses with valuable information on traffic patterns and timing. Also, when combined with point-of-sale (POS) data, people counting can calculate conversion rates (i.e., sales per customer entering store), which are key metrics for retailers. As people counting is refined to the department level, it will provide even more specific and detailed data.
POS Exception Analysis. Retailers have been analyzing point-of-sale information for a number of years, but the new video analytics provide intelligent monitoring that can recognize activities such as a void or cash return transaction with no one in line. The event is automatically recorded, described and stored.

Ingratiation and Favoritism : Experimental Evidence
AbstractWe provide experimental evidence of worker's ingratiation by opinion conformity and of managers' discrimination in favor of workers with whom they share similar opinions. In our Baseline, managers can observe both workers' performance at a task and opinions before assigning unequal payoffs. In the Ingratiation treatment, workers can change their opinion after learning that held by manager. In the Random treatment, workers can also change opinion but payoffs are assigned randomly, which gives a measure of non-strategic opinion conformism. We find evidence of high ingratiation indices, as overall, ingratiation is effective. Indeed, managers rewards opinion conformity, and even more so when opinions cannot be manipulated. Additional treatments reveal that ingratiation is cost sensitive and that the introduction of performance pay for managers as well as a less noisy measure of performance increase the role of relative performance in the assignment of payoffs, without eliminating the reward of opinion conformity.

He believes it's important to let kids use their phones and other devices in class so they know how to use them appropriately when they enter the real world.
That's why he tries to avoid calling students out during class when he sees them checking their phones. If they can do it and finish their work, great. If not, then he talks with them later.
Innovators profiled in documentary, airing Thursday
Five Utah teachers have been selected for KUED-The Salt Lake Tribune Teacher Innovation Awards, which celebrate their creative use of technology in classrooms.
The awards were given in the categories of arts, math, language arts, science and social studies.
The winners will be profiled in a continuing Tribune series this week and in a half-hour documentary airing Thursday at 7 p.m. on KUED-Channel 7.

Earlier I raised few question on hypocrisy and masquerading. However, as a late entrant in the discussion, I still feel it is non issue for many of the members. The reason may be manifold. May they are quite ashamed to admit their problems. May they have no problem at all. May be it is an academic issue rather than live issue. May be it is an issue for others and not them. Or may in a virtual life, real issues are not favorite subjects.
When the common man shows such attitude, it is easily understood what can be their contribution to the glaring issues. People are more concerned about boosting their artificial image than admitting anything. If grilled, they appear to have no concept about the root of the problem and show their awareness by calling the politicians by foul names. Just look at my questions that I posted today.

BLACK DAISY IN A WHITE LIMOUSINE: 77 POEMS The Art of Life, Love & Family
I feel this deep longing for you
As if you're not there
This space stretching from nowhere to nowhere
So wide and deep
In all directions and dimensions your circle of longing is spreading
Shaping and reshaping
Soft and so weak
Pliant and succumbing
I love you with this wrenching need
Don't you feel it???
Can't you see?
Of what I have no idea
The force of failure?
The force of greed?
The force of nature couldn't compete
As if I have something to prove
Or disprove
But I am good!
I swear…I really am.
Pain go away, quit compounding and rebounding – let me get on with it
I guess this is a time for gratefulness, thankfulness
Bow down to the earthfulness
Everything is as it should be
Apparently so
I am okay
And will let go

War and Peace—The Albuquerque Center for Peace and Justice (202 Harvard SE) will present a pair of war-torn documentaries this week. On Thursday, Feb. 2, at 7 p.m., the People Before Profit Lecture Series will show Occupation Dreamland. This evenhanded documentary follows the soldiers of the 82nd Airborne deployed in the city of Fallujah during the winter of 2004. Invited speakers will be NM Iraq Veterans for Peace. The Panama Deception, which won the 1992 Academy Award for Best Documentary, will be screened Saturday, Feb. 4, at 7 p.m. courtesy of Boletin Latino. This film covers the 1989 invasion of Panama by 26,000 American troops and concentrates on the effects to that nation's poor and disenfranchised. Both films are free and open to the public. For more information, log on to www.peacecenter.home.comcast.net.

If I had a farm--which I don't--I'd bet it that you're going to like The World's Fastest Indian. This misty-eyed, stand-up-and-cheer biopic was quietly and economically assembled in New Zealand by writer/director Roger Donaldson, who made some interesting films Down Under (Smash Palace, The Bounty) before emigrating to America to churn out glossy but generic material (Cocktail, Species, Dante's Peak). Having served for years as a skilled studio hack, Donaldson must have been itching to get his hands on a quality indie product, because he has found it in this unassuming but hard-to-resist labor of love.
The Seattle Seahawks will face off against the Pittsburgh Steelers this weekend in Super Bowl XL. ("Super Bowl Extra Large" for you hipsters in the audience. "Super Bowl 40" for you non-sporting non-Romans in the audience.) The game will take place at Ford Field in Detroit, Mich. Pittsburgh is favored to win by four points. (Which, in the sporting scheme of things, is a pretty tight football game.)

Washington - Cadillac, which is often driven by chauffeurs, has announced that it is developing a technology that could put self-driving cars on the road by the middle of this decade.
The so-called "Super Cruise" system is an advanced version of the adaptive cruise control, crash avoidance and lane departure warning features already available on some of its cars.
Using cameras and radar sensors located around the vehicle, a prototype Cadillac ATS prototype has demonstrated that it is able to follow highway lane markers without any input from the driver, and bring the car to a complete stop if a vehicle ahead slows down.
The automaker is in the process of fine-tuning the human-machine interface, and trying to determine just how much and what type of driver involvement there should be when Super Cruise is active.
One idea currently being tested is pressing an elbow against the seat back to reposition the car within the lane if, for instance, a large truck is riding very closely alongside.
The former head of research and development for General Motors, Larry Burns, recently predicted that fully self-driving cars will be on the road by 2020, and the news from Cadillac seems to point in that direction, but a GM spokesperson stresses that, for now, the new technology is more about improving driver performance than taking the driver completely out of the equation.

Professor Emerita B.J. Seymour, Ph.D.
Randolph-Macon College mourns the loss of beloved Professor Emerita Betty Jean "B.J."
Seymour who passed away on June 6, 2010 after a lengthy illness.
"This is a sad day for the Randolph-Macon family," said R-MC President Robert R.
Lindgren. "Professor Seymour was truly a trailblazer whose life and scholarly work
have inspired generations of students and enriched the lives of countless colleagues
and friends. It is obvious that she was loved and has left an indelible mark in
the hearts of all who knew her. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family."
In her 32 years with Randolph-Macon College, B.J. Seymour forged new ground. In
1971, the college officially became coeducational with the enrollment of 50 women.
Seymour, who taught religious studies, joined the faculty in 1971 as the first full-time
female faculty member. She was also the first woman to attain tenure, chair a department
and be granted the rank of full professor.
Seymour served as the assistant dean of students from 1971-73, working primarily
with the first female students admitted to the college. She also received numerous
awards. In 1975, 1984 and 1993 she received the Thomas Branch Award for Excellence
in Teaching from Randolph-Macon College. In 1993, she received the Samuel Nelson
Gray Distinguished Professor Award, given annually to an outstanding member of the
R-MC faculty or administration. In 2003, Seymour received the prestigious Randolph-Macon
College Faculty Service Certificate of Appreciation from the Society of Alumni and
the Exemplary Teaching Award from the General Board of Higher Education and Campus
Ministry of the United Methodist Church.
In 2004, R-MC established the annual B.J. Seymour Alumna Award, which honors alumnae
of the college who have consistently worked on behalf of issues important to women
and/or girls, and who demonstrate vitality, integrity and leadership. The award
carries an honorarium.
Seymour played a vital role in the campus community. From 1975-77, she was the acting
chair of the Department of Religious Studies, and served as chair of that department
from 1977 until her retirement in 2003. She was a member of numerous search committees;
a member of the Committee on the Faculty; a member of the Athletic Council; an academic
advisor and a member of the Women's Studies Council. In 2009, Seymour was awarded
an honorary degree from Randolph-Macon.
Seymour earned her bachelor's degree at Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina,
her M.R.E. at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, her master's degree from the
University of Richmond and her Ph.D. at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina.

Is there a grace period for expired license plates or California vehicle registration? California
Expired Vehicle Registration
There is no grace period in California for expired license plates or car registration. As soon as the expiration date passes on your license plate sticker, you'll:
- Be subject to receiving a traffic ticket from a police officer.
- Have to pay penalties when you finish registration renewal with the DMV.
The CA DMV charges the following:
- Up to 10 days late: $10
- 15-30 days late: $15
- 30 days-1 year late: $30
- 1-2 years late: $50
- 2 years late: $100
Renew your DMV registration before the expiration date, so you can get new license plate stickers and registration card ahead of time.

Last week, StatCounter was the first to release data showing Bing doing well in its first week. Now, comScore data seems to corroborate that sentiment, albeit not the extreme success in StatCounter's numbers.
comScore compared data from Microsoft's search sites the week before Bing's launch to the first 5 days it was live. Check it out:
Of course, it remains to be seen if this is the beginning of a nice momentum or if it's all out of curiosity.
"These initial data suggest that Microsoft Bing has generated early interest, resulting in a spike in search engagement and an immediate term improvement to Microsoft's position in the search market," said Mike Hurt, comScore senior vice president. "So far it appears that the lifts in searcher penetration and engagement have held relatively steady throughout the five-day period. The ultimate performance of Bing depends on the extent to which it generates more trial through its extensive launch campaign and whether it retains those trial users. It appears it is off to a good start."
What do you think is Bing's fate? Let us know in the comments.

The world of science fiction is not far off into the future, and heading the field is CHARLI (Cognitive Humanoid Autonomous Robot with Learning Intelligence) L and CHARLI 2, the first human-sized robots to walk this earth with help of liner actuators.
Between 2009-2010 VT's Robotics and Mechanisms Laboratory designed CHARLI L (for lightweight'), the precursor to CHARLI 2. This robot is one of the latest constructions in a long line of 'humanoid' robots dating all the way back to 1986 designed to push humanity forward to an age in which robots are an integral part of our everyday lives.
Virginia Tech has since developed the next level of humanoid robot, named CHARLI 2. This design requires the use of 32 actuators for the robot to function. The greatest challenge that exists for robotics researchers is how to enable it to assess its surroundings and make a decision out of the possibilities. This entails the robot communicating with itself effectively between its 32 actuators, the sensors and its processor. It uses a software program designed to give its actuators the instructions on how much and how fast to extend or contract to create any desired motion. Any motion the robot performs, from a hand movement to a waist bend, is accompanied with the help of a linear actuator. Its bipedal feats, an evolutionary trait only exhibited by humans, would not be possible without the use of linear actuators to adjust the thighs, calves, knees and feet.
The design of CHARLI is inspired by human form and the actuators serve as human muscles. They contract and extend, not unlike a human's 640 muscles, so that CHARLI 2 can interact with the world around it.
The military is funding the continued research by VT to create CHARLI robots that are useful in firefighting. Researchers hope that the future for CHARLI is bright, having it aid in elderly care or domestic chores. CHARLI is already able to pick itself up if it falls, hold delicate objects, walks and even maintains balance if given a good shove.
This award-winning robot is a game changer. This is the first life-sized humanoid robot that has such versatile qualities. As time moves forward, those who are continuing to develop CHARLI hope to one day see him folding laundry, greeting guests, answering phones, fetching wayward soccer balls and any other task that the average person would prefer to have a robot do.

Awareness of diseases in African communities frequently correlates with the outward manifestation of the disease process. In ophthalmology, the leukokoria of cataract has given rise to several local terms for this cause of blindness. The second most common cause of blindness in these communities1,2 unfortunately does not have any observable signs to the lay public. A person with glaucoma is frequently unaware of the disease process (progressive visual field loss) until the very last stages. Therapy to prevent blindness from glaucoma has proven effective.3

Lewis and Clark: Rediscovering Their Journey
- Monday, October 14, 2002
William Clark also grew up in Virginia, but at age 14, moved with his family to settle in Kentucky. His older brother, Revolutionary War hero General George Rogers Clark, taught him wilderness skills and natural history. Clark joined the Kentucky militia at age 19, and later joined the regular army, earning the rank of captain. Meriwether Lewis served under him briefly during this time, and the two struck up a life-long friendship. Clark brought to the expedition strong military, navigational, nautical, and cartographic skills.
Journals bring history alive
Journals kept by Lewis and Clark provide marvelous insights into the tragedies and triumphs they met along their incredible journey. Many of the men who traveled with them, though poorly educated, also kept a written record of their experiences. Though their spelling and grammar may be flawed, the journals bring a clear snapshot of life on the trail. Here are a few excerpts (retaining original spelling):
In an entry from May 25, 1805, Lewis describes the first sighting of bighorn sheep: "I saw several gangs of the bighorned Anamals on the face of the steep bluffs and clifts ... these animals bound from rock to rock and stand apparently in the most careless manner on the sides of precipices of many hundred feet. They are very shye and are quick of both sent and sight."
On Aug. 21, 1805, Clark describes the Shoshone Indians: "Those Indians are mild in their disposition, appear Sincere in their friendship, punctial, and decided. Kind with what they have, to spare. They are excessive pore, . . . The women are held more sacred among them than any nation we have seen and appear to have an equal shere in all conversation, which is not the case in any other nation I have seen. Their boys & girls are also admited to speak except in Councels."
Studying Native American cultures
The Lewis and Clark Expedition offers students a great opportunity to study Native American cultures. Sacagawea, the Shoshone Indian wife of the French-Canadian interpreter, Toussaint Charbonneau, provided invaluable assistance to the Lewis and Clark team as guide and interpreter. Around age 11, Sacagawea had been captured by the Hidatsa tribe and taken from her home at the headwaters of the Missouri River, to the Knife River village near Fort Mandan, where the Lewis and Clark team spent the winter of 1804.
Providentially, as the group searched for the Shoshones that spring, hoping to acquire horses to make the passage over the Rockies, they came upon Sacagawea's own brother-now chief-of the Shoshones.
Lewis and Clark met 47 different Indian tribes along their route. Strict instructions were given by Jefferson that all their interactions with the natives must be friendly and conciliatory, showing the United States' wish to be neighborly and peaceful.

open source storage
Open source storage is the phrase used to describe any storage system based on open source platforms or technologies. The phrase is commonly used to mean open source storage software that's used to create the storage system.
Much like proprietary storage products, open source storage software is available for a number of business needs, including array clustering, file and print services, encryption, network-attached storage (NAS) and storage area network (SAN).
Businesses might use open source storage software because upfront costs are typically lower and features are comparable to proprietary storage software. Another benefit to using open source is that the source code is freely available for in-house development.
Open source storage software is typically available as a free download with an investment in a commercial open source product required to obtain additional protection and customer service.
Examples of open source storage software include The FreeNAS Project, OpenStack, Lustre, OpenAFS, and Openfiler.

Roofers have not had to look far to find work this winter.
Still, the Connecticut Roof Repair company from Stafford Springs found the time to volunteer.
"Now we're getting slammed," said Jerry St. Cyr of Connecticut Roof Repair. "Especially with the rain yesterday, a lot of calls."
Even so, St. Cyr and his company donated time Thursday to shoveling off the Willington home of retired couple Mickey and John Bellman.
He said the company has been in high demand over fears of ice dams and even worse, roof collapses.
"Just to help these people out, they're good people," said St. Cyr. "Help out neighbors, family, friends take care of that before we go out and make money."
The Bellmans said they've lived in their home for 50 years. Their neighbor is one of St. Cyr's employees.
"Usually when it gets this heavy, my son-in-law's grandson rakes it off," explained Mickey Bellman. "But we're happy Jesse and his crew asked if they could clean it and we said yes."
St. Cyr said if folks try to clean their own roofs, make sure a plastic shovel is used. Shingles could be damaged otherwise.
He also said that if homeowners hire someone, they should make sure they have insurance. He said if the workers don't know what they are doing, they could end up doing more harm than good.
"People just hire whomever to shovel the roofs," St. Cyr said. "They chop it and it starts leaking and you really have problems. After this we're going to West Hartford to fix a problem with a gutter, because someone went in with a hatchet and now their whole wall is leaking."
After this winter, St. Cyr said that is the last thing homeowners want.

Richard Nixon is not having an easy time of late. The Washington Post alone has run at least three opinion pieces reminding us all that Nixon was a skunk who 40 years ago this month resigned the presidency and flew off to a short-lived exile in California. There the story of Nixon's nefariousness supposedly ends. But it does not. He remains to this day a major political figure.
While reading the first chapter of Jason Riley's new book, "Please Stop Helping Us," I thought about Will Rogers' Prohibition-era observation that "Oklahomans vote dry as long as they can stagger to the polls." Demonstrative of similar dedication, one member of Congress told Vanderbilt University political scientist Carol Swain that "one of the advantages and disadvantages of representing blacks is their shameless loyalty. ... You can almost get away with raping babies and be forgiven. You don't have any vigilance about your performance." In my opinion, there appear to be no standards of performance low enough for blacks to ...
Publisher note:
As I wrote in last week's column about Georgia's U.S. Senate race between Democrat Michelle Nunn and Republican David Perdue, it will all boil down to turnout - who turns out to vote. While the Republican candidates are being fair when they tie the Democratic nominee to the Obama administration, they must do more than hope that Democrats can't persuade voters to go to the polls. The Republican candidates need to create and communicate a clear, compelling message for all voters - that will give them a reason and the passion to turn out and vote Republican this ...
On July 1, 2014, I wrote a syndicated column titled "What If Terrorists Used Infectious Diseases." I postulated that America is being placed in mortal danger as illegal aliens, to which I specifically add the tens of thousands of illegal alien children, are flooding our borders.
The U.S. Senate race this November between Democrat Michelle Nunn and Republican David Perdue will be one of the more unusual campaigns we have witnessed in Georgia. Neither has held public office and both are anxious to portray themselves as the ultimate "outsider."
Recep Tayyip Erdogan's anti-Semitism is getting the better of him. Once again, the Turkish prime minister has trotted out the Hitler analogy in relation to Israel and what it has done in Gaza. "They curse Hitler morning and night," he said of the Israelis. "However, now their barbarism has surpassed even Hitler's."
Following the Hobby Lobby Supreme Court decision, one of the key talking points that emerged from enraged opponents of the ruling was: "My boss shouldn't be involved in my health care decisions." California State Senate candidate Sandra Fluke says on her official website that such a perspective is "common sense."
Earlier this month, the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act was celebrated. During the act's legislative debate, then-Sen. Hubert Humphrey, responding to predictions, promised, "I'll eat my hat if this leads to racial quotas." I don't know whether Humphrey got around to keeping his promise, but here's my question: Is it within the capacity of black Americans to make it in this society without the special favors variously called racial preferences, quotas, affirmative action and race-sensitive policies? What might a "yes" answer to that question assume and imply about blacks? Likewise, what would a "no ...
Israel fought its first war, in 1948, against five Arab nations - Egypt, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria and Jordan - as well as the Palestinians. In the prediction of the fairly new CIA, the outcome was never in doubt: "Without substantial outside aid in terms of manpower and material, they [the Jews] will be able to hold out no longer than two years." It has now been 66 years, but I fear that sooner or later, the CIA's conclusion could turn out to be right.
Only two days before Thanksgiving, there I was with Christmas on my mind, and I set out to scour a few nearby retailers for something new to add to my worn-around-the-edges holiday décor. As I race-walked up and down those aisles, hoping something would catch my eye, it just didn't feel right. The mass-produced Christmas décor - snowmen, tabletop trees, Santas in every shape and size, sparkling deer, boxed ornaments in fuchsia and purple and all made in China - felt soul-less. The look on the faces of the Santas and snowmen was more sober, fixed and shocked than ...
You might wonder about the title of this article if you're anything like me. You see, I struggle with portion control. So Thanksgiving can be a real problem for me. I'm guessing I'm not alone. I'm pretty sure that there are very few people reading this who limited their calorie intake to the recommended daily amount yesterday. And even though I'm writing this before Thanksgiving, I'm pretty confident that this will prove to be a true statement. I ate a lot on Thanksgiving.
My article "Have We Lost Our Civility in Politics," printed on Nov. 18, has drawn some criticism in the form of Letters to the Editor penned by Bob Furnad and Maurice Carter.
Junior E. Lee is one of my most valued associates, but he can be a load to manage and a bit of a know-it-all.
I have a birthday this week. A big one. Reaching this day has caused me to muse about some of the changes that accompany reaching such a milestone.
My parents just had new windows installed in our old house. The original wooden windows had been weathering and wearing since 1968, and the folks decided against scraping and painting them one last time. I saw the new windows this weekend, as I was visiting my old hometown, and as we admired the craftsmanship, we wound up in my old bedroom where a fancy new sliding unit had been installed. It was about a few seconds after I opened the new window that I realized I was falling through it.
Turkey day is approaching and it is a wonder time.
They may just give Dasher, Dancer, Vixen and Rudolph a run for their money.
"What is the meaning of life?" my middle school daughter asked me recently as we were lying on her bed one evening. After a few minutes of contemplation, knowing that the answer was not about acquisition of money, fame or power, and that material items might provide ease in life, but not meaning, I responded that it is "to experience and then to allow God's grace to shine through you to others."
It seems the Christmas holidays arrive a little earlier every year, thanks in part to retailers pushing to get every sale they can. This year we saw Christmas decorations out well before Halloween and a few communities have already put up Christmas decorations and turned on their Christmas lights.
Hallelujah! It's a word we've all heard, probably all used. Hallelujah! It's a word that means "Praise the Lord." You see it all over the place in the Old Testament as the people praised God when they saw one work of his or another. "Hallelujah" is what we're told we'll be shouting for all time in heaven, in the presence of our God we won't be able to keep from praising.
Are you asking yourself every day where has this year gone? It is now the middle of November. Thanksgiving is next week; Christmas, a little more than four weeks later, and New Year's less than a week after that.
We Americans have always been noted for our ability to have opposing political groups playing hardball politics while remaining civil and non-violent. When the campaigning, debating and voting was over, we returned to running the government and moving forward. The night time threats of physical violence to an opponent and his family was reserved for the banana republics and dictatorships. Sadly, some citizens of Newton County have recently displayed banana republic political behavior.
"To you, I lift up my eyes, O you who are enthroned in the heavens!"
My granddaughter in the fourth grade recently had a test over pronouns, and in particular the many different spellings and meanings of "there, their, they're, theirs, there's.

Since my touring buddy Alex is out on the road, on the Pacific Coast, right now, I've been thinking a lot about going touring again. Since I got back, which was closer to two years ago than one now, I've been saying I want to ride the Pacific Coast from Vancouver to San Diego (or something approximating that). Now that Alex is out there, texting me about how great a ride it is, I'm missing the long rides through totally new terrain even more.
I know Chicago's streets too well. Since I got the job at CDOT's Bike Program last summer, I've been to every neighborhood in the city at least once, most more often than that. I've ridden to every corner and along every major street and most minor ones. There isn't really anything new to discover in this place for me. I miss that. Don't get me wrong - I still unequivocally love living here - riding Logan Boulevard on a beautiful Sunday morning, while everyone is out at the Farmer's Market or walking the dog or lounging in the parkways is positively life-affirming, but there is a certain boredom present in riding my bike here. I know where the bike lanes are, which streets are newly paved, which run for miles, and which dead end into the Metra embankment on Ravenswood. And, as long as I continue to live in Chicago, none of that will change quickly enough for riding a bike to be anything close to a novel experience for me.
So, I like the anticipation of the next tour. The next time I'll be able to ride along completely new streets every day for a month or two or three.
