PARKLAND, Wash. — Whitman College fell to Pacific Lutheran, 4-1, Saturday despite mounting a late rally in the Northwest Conference baseball game.
The Missionaries rallied to load the bases with two outs in the top of the ninth before the Lutes escaped with the win.
It marked the second time in as many games that Whitman (9-6, 1-3 in conference) pieced together a ninth-inning threat.
The Missionaries lost to the University of Puget Sound on the same field Sunday, 1-3, after bringing the go-ahead run to the plate in their final at-bat.
"We keep putting ourselves in a spot where one hitter can change a game for us," Whitman coach Sean Kinney said. "But we need to do a better job in the early innings."
The Missionaries put early pressure on PLU's pitchers, but to no avail. Whitman had base runners at first and second with no outs in the top of the first and had runners at the corners, no outs, in the top of the second, yet found itself trailing 2-0 entering the third.
"We came out and swung the bats real well," Kinney said. "We had a couple great (at-bats). I really thought we had an opportunity in the first and second.
Kyle Moyes was hit by a pitch leading off the top of the ninth for Whitman, which by then trailed 4-0. Moyes was still at first two outs later when Maclean Harned legged out an infield single.
Kyle Buckham knocked home Moyes with a base hit to left, and Jimmy Madden walked to load the bases, but Connor Young flew out to center to end the rally.
Whitman pitchers Sterling Spilinek and Will Thompson each pitched 1 2/3 scoreless innings in relief of starter Brett Lambert, who struck out seven and gave up three earned runs.
"Our pitchers have really stepped up, especially over the last couple weekends," Kinney said. "They have really been keeping the ball down. Brett kept them off balance. Sterling and Will also both did a really good job coming in with runners on base. I have a lot of confidence putting them in tough situations."
Whitman has allowed four runs or fewer in four of its last seven games, and six runs or fewer in each of its last seven games.
The Missionaries had seven hits and six walks against the Lutes.
Saturday's contest was the first game of a scheduled doubleheader, but game two was postponed by rain. It will be made up as part of a doubleheader here today.
The first game begins at noon.
Pacific Lutheran 4, Whitman 1
Whitman 000 000 001 — 1 7 1
Lambert, Spilinek (5), Thompson (7) and Harned. Mahlum, Otness (8), Konopaski (9) and Wildung.
HR — none.
Hits — Whitman: Buckham 2, Cohen, Moyes, Heywood, Konolige, Harned. PLU: Courcy, Trushinksy, Nilson, Pearson 2, Welch 3, Derouin.

|A society's moral heart can be judged by how well it provides for its weakest and most vulnerable citizens. In recent years significant strides have been made to improve the quality of institutionalized persons' lives. However, because we have not yet fully developed a moral vision of long-term care living, residents do not always receive the basic care that they should. Particularly ignored and inadequately addressed is the complex moral and social issue of residents' sexual lives. Currently there is little support for sexual activity or sexual care in long-term care settings. Society's moral rules are designed for independent people living in their own homes. Professional governance bodies have created moral rules regulating short-term professional interactions and responsibilities but rarely have ones that pertain to longterm care settings. The aim of the present research is to contribute to the development of a moral vision of how long-term care institutions should manage sexual activity and sexual care. A qualitative study was designed to identify the factors that negatively influence sexual activity and sexual care, and the supports that residents and staff respectively need in order to have sexual lives and provide sexual care. Using an exploratory design the investigator conducted in-depth interviews with twenty-four residents and staff and carried out twenty hours of participant observation with two community residents. Six negative influences on residents' sexual lives and nine negative influences on staffs provision of sexual care were identified. The work also explores ethical and legal issues pertaining to the provision o f sexual care. It is argued that residents have moral rights to sexual care which impose duties on institutions to provide that care. Legal barriers to providing such care are then considered, and found not to be insurmountable. The above research and explorations led to three conclusions. First, unless sexual care is available residents cannot have sexual lives. Second, for sexual care to be available institutions must accept that it is their moral responsibility to provide it and ensure that staff are adequately supported. Third, institutions should develop a framework for the delivery of sexual care.

You Know What Makes Studying for the Bar Exam Easier? LOUD BANGING IN THE LIBRARY.
I know that we're not supposed to panic about the bar exam, but some people are panicking, and rightly so. The powers that be at the University of Minnesota Law School are not making it pleasant for recent graduates to study for the bar exam at the school's law library. Apparently, there's a lot of banging going on between the stacks, and not of the variety you'd brag to your friends about.

Re: First Contact vs. Into Darkness
And regarding Wikipedia... it's looked down upon by old fashioned people because it's online and not printed in heavy books. It basically comes down to that. It's up to date, the crowd intelligence principle works, it is a great source to cover the basics and cites the references. You wouldn't cite it as reference because you should never cite a deriving source to begin with. But it's a legitimate source of base knowledge and a good starting point. And on some contemporary subjects it has also become the only source, because all other old fashioned source can't keep up with the pace.
A movie aiming low should not be praised for hitting that target.

I can't count how many times I disagreed with an Ebert review, positive or negative. And while Ebert wasn't checking boxes on a list, there are many reviewers out there that do.

Well RLM is part comedy, part criticism of course, but I find the reviews, especially of the SW prequels to be very insightful when they try to be. And by the way, no less an "establishment" critic than Ebert liked RLM's review of TPM.

Re: First Contact vs. Into Darkness
Why I don't like FC:
- Bad acting/dialogue/script (except for Stewart). James Cromwell is a fantastic actor, but his portrayl of Cochran was so goofy and unbelievable.
- Riker and Troi...the Troi getting drunk scene and Riker's smugness about her being drunk...ugh...hated it. In their defenses though I've never liked Riker.
- Totally unbeliavable to me that Riker and Geordi were in the ship when it was launched and seen by the Vulcans. And the meeting at the end with Cochran trying to to the Vulcan salute...sorry, that was lame.
- Bad sound effects/CGI mainly at the beginning during the battle against the Borg.
- The Borg Queen and Data sexual suggestions...totally unnecessary and goes back to poor writing.
I guess I could go on, but that's all I could think of off the top of my head. Again, only my opinions and not a shot against anyone in the thread or anyone that does like FC.

Re: First Contact vs. Into Darkness
I especially don't know why they had an Ahab reference that didn't work followed by one that did, they should have just had the latter one that did.
And LOL that on the commentary Braga and Moore admit that Picard offering himself fully or as an equal doesn't make much sense (but it's still at least an interesting twist to the original story). Nonetheless, the characters and story mostly work, especially most of the interaction between the 24th and 21st century characters.

Re: First Contact vs. Into Darkness
I've always preferred reviewers to take a more objective, outside viewpoint. Sure, by nature to review something one has to have some degree of personal opinion mixed in there. But the best written/presented reviews (IMO) are ones where the critic simply lays down the pros and cons objectively, then lets the consumer make up their own mind whether this thing will be their cup of tea. The key thing is to be as broad as possible while still offering a personal viewpoint somewhere in there. It's certainly how I've always approached writing my own reviews of things.
The trouble with RLM is he's a talented cuss, and he knows it. But he has also got increasingly more experimental as he has gone along as well, going off on tangents and indulging in elaborate inside jokes, to the point where sometimes the genuine criticisms he expounds get lost along the way. The fact that his earlier reviews were only a fraction of the length of his more recent ones, but were also in a lot of ways more concise and better presented, is very telling.
That, and the fact that it's incredibly easy to just take the "nit-pickers route" when writing these things. It's more challenging, in my view, to try and present both sides of an issue.

Re: First Contact vs. Into Darkness
Look at the way he reacts to Hugh in the first half of "I Borg". Troi even called him out on it, stating the residual effects of his assimilation, even though he had processed it internally. It was still a Big Scar. He's is in a completely safe situation with his ship in BFE on a routine mapping mission and he still nearly looses his shit, and shows the same intensity in I Borg as he did in First Contact. In fact, he came within a hairsbreadth of attempting to introduce a computer virus that would destroy the entire Borg, and it was his idea.
He even went so far as to berate Guinan, "IT NOT A PERSON DAMNIT, ITS A BORG!" Her entire civilization had been decimated by the Borg and she was less hateful to the Borg than he was.
The only reason he relented is because Hugh proved himself to Picard as an individual. Even then, in the briefing afterwards, you can see Picard's uncomfortableness even speaking about the Borg. "To use him in this manner, we'd be(slight pause, deep breath, almost shudders) no better than the enemy we seek to destroy." Showing that he was putting Hugh in the same shoes that the Borg had put him in, IE using him to introduce to destruction upon his entire people.
To quote Kirk:
"As a physician, you of all people should appreciate the danger of re-opening old wounds."
The Borg have assimilated your future and they're overrunning your ship, they're inside your head, and your entire future is at stake, PLUS these are the same beings that essentially raped your entire life and used you to kill over 11,000 people. Yeah, it didnt surprise me that he started down the same path as Maxwell and Decker.

Feel Like an Olympic Athlete – The Skeleton Experience
You know that you're in for a crazy experience when you wake up in the morning with butterflies.
This feeling lasts up until the very moment that you're face to face with a sheet of ice.You start with a short orientation about the safety precautions involved with going 100KM/H on a sled that is half the size of you. A fifteen minute lesson does not seem justified on paper when you think of the dangers involved when riding down an Olympic track, but the experienced guides ease your mind during the training. If you work up the appetite they give you free coffee and snacks before the big slide.
After the orientation in the guest services building, you have a short 10 minute trek to their takeoff point. Although the takeoff point is only half way up the Olympic track, the amount of speed that you get from this point is more than enough to feed your adrenaline.When it's your turn to slide, the Skeleton crew gets you pumped for the run and gives you last minute tips to get the most out of your experience and limit injury. They help you strap on your helmet and guide you to the start position. Then it happens… You are face to face with the ice and waiting for the skeleton crew member to push you down. You feel like an Olympic Athlete as they call your name on the loud speaker to any spectators waiting at the bottom of the track. Hold on tight!!
It's just you, the sled, and the ice. It starts slow and wraps around the first corner. You think to yourself, "This isn't so bad". No more than five seconds later the sound of the ice against the sled tracks increases with the speed. Every few seconds that go by - your sled goes twice as fast. The fear turns to excitement as you wrap around the next corner at what you think is going to be the fastest point. You then hit the corner known as "Shiver", which is not named for the temperature, but for the amount of fear distilled in you as it wraps you around left and then right in a matter of a second. It isn't until you reach Thunderbird Corner that you reach 100 KM/H and a G-Force that makes you weigh 4 x your own body weight. It is near impossible to keep your head up from grazing the ice with your helmet. Before you know it, the sled begins a straight away and starts to slow down.
As the G-Force reduces, most new riders are prone to lifting their weight off the front of the sled forcing them to ping pong for the last 50 meters or so of the track. This is why I strongly recommend wearing the optional elbow pads. I did not and left with very minor cuts and bruises, however I was wearing a skin tight under armor shirt to increase the speed. When you get up from the sled, your adrenaline is pumping and you are ready for the second run. You will hear over the announcements the speed and time of the run. Try to beat your first time! What a rush! I strongly recommend it!
- Wear a skin tight suit if you can – it increases the speed.
- Wear elbow pads
- Get Coast Mountain Photography to take shots of this once in a life time opportunity. You will be sorry if you don't!

Favorite Spot in Whistler
We go to Whistler a ton as a family to bike and have stayed at a ton of spots in the village and the Crystal is definitely our favorite. Can't beat the location and by far they have the best staff and service in town. Going above and beyond to make our family and dog feel welcomed. The one bedroom suites with vaulted ceilings feel very private and spacious. Also during noisy times when the village is going crazy late night, the rooms are extremely quiet which is a must for us.

Calif. burglar's 'selfie' photo leads to arrest
Adam Howe left a camera at the crime scene and detectives soon discovered he'd snapped a picture of himself
Associated Press
CHULA VISTA, Calif. — Authorities say it was a "selfie" that led detectives to a suspect in the burglary of a Southern California church.
U-T San Diego reports that detectives found a phone at the Chula Vista crime scene, where a laptop, cash and watches were stolen.
On the phone was a photo the suspect had apparently snapped of himself.
Residents recognized the man in the photo, and police arrested 26-year-old Adam Howe on Tuesday.
A search of his belongings uncovered property believed to be stolen from the Hilltop Tabernacle Church.
Further investigation led to the arrest of two other people.
Police say they've now linked Howe to thefts at a nearby mobile home park after residents recognized his picture in media reports.
A phone number listed in Howe's name rang without an answer Thursday.

Spencer Pratt always has some strange new ploy for attention up his sleeve – but not his split from wife Heidi Montag.
That, he says, despite the fact that nobody has seen divorce papers and family and Hills castmates are skeptical, is the real deal.
"We love each other but I'm a famewhore and I'll never grow out of it," Pratt tells PEOPLE. "[Heidi] knows that and doesn't want that."
"I want every kind of press," he says. "She believes in bad press. There's no way my love for fame and her love for puppies will ever work out successfully. She just wants to hike and hang out and be calmer."
As for their infamous "Speidi," moniker, Pratt says his estranged wife "doesn t want to be Speidi anymore. She wants to be Heidi Montag: the sex symbol."

International CES 2015 in Las Vegas (January 6-9) Bosch shows smart solutions for a connected world Designed for a convenient, efficient, and secure life
- Smart thermostat and smart home appliances make living more comfortable
- Smart mobility solutions: more safety and convenience on the road
- Assisted driving and eBike demos at the Vehicle Intelligence Marketplace
- Smart devices, software, and sensors as enablers for the internet of things
- Overview of Bosch at CES
Energy conversion is a core Bosch area of expertise. Bosch offers owners of residential and commercial buildings packages that combine technology and services. Bosch solutions intelligently link and control the generation and consumption of power and heat. This will make the power supply even smarter and more efficient, as well as more decentralized. Boschs expertise spans multiple areas here. Its technical systems know-how is the basis of heating and security control systems. The company also offers software and sensor technology as well as services for energy management, remote monitoring, and the handling of business processes. This allows customers to use energy and resources more efficiently, and to reduce costs. The internet of things makes it possible for devices and systems in buildings to communicate with one another.
By 2015, Bosch expects about 75 percent of the world's population to have access to the internet. At the same time, six billion things will be connected to the internet. This development will also bring about major changes in the market for energy and building technology in the coming years, and will pave the way for new services and business models. Bosch already has considerable experience in this realm, for instance with the 50,000 networked heating systems it has already sold. Bosch Security Systems already generates more than half its sales in the video surveillance segment with internet-enabled cameras.
Smart thermostat to control the heating at home via smartphone
Bosch is presenting a wi-fi-enabled remote room controller with a modern touch screen and a corresponding app, which allows users to control their heating systems via their smartphones. Compatible with a wide range of Boschs Greenstar gas and oil-fired boilers, the sophisticated smart thermostat allows heating to be adjusted from a smartphone or tablet using a wireless internet connection. The sleek black glass wall-mounted panel is simple to install and connects to the boiler using a low voltage two-wired connection. Through an easy-to-use free app, homeowners can take complete control of their heating and hot water, whether at home, at work, or on holiday. The app not only allows remote adjustment of heating and hot water settings, but also provides valuable information on gas consumption for both heating and hot water, helping homeowners to manage bills in an era of rising energy costs. And users can rely on the extremely high safety and data security standards Bosch has developed. Since all customer data is stored on the controller at the users home, privacy is assured Bosch itself has no access to the data.
Open software platform for the smart home
For a home to be smart, it is crucial that all the appliances and systems in the home e.g., washing machine, heating units, lamps or window blinds can simply and securely exchange data with each other as well as with smartphones and tablets. ABB, Bosch, and Cisco plan to establish an international joint venture that will develop and operate an open software platform for smart home devices and applications. In addition to developing and operating a software platform, the companies intend to invite appliance electronics manufacturers, home automation vendors, and service providers to join a business ecosystem. The business ecosystem will aim to facilitate collaboration and incorporate a wide range of user requirements when developing the software platform.
Home Connect app connects home appliances from different brands
A common language for all domains is decisive when it comes to the connected home. Bosch is presenting the world's first solution that allows various home appliances from different brands to be controlled and a host of features used with just one app. In addition, Bosch is showcasing the first networked home appliances equipped with this system, including a fridge, an oven, a dishwasher, and a washing machine. The system is designed as an open platform that will keep evolving to cover a growing range of services.
Smart energy system increases efficiency and saves costs
Bosch is demonstrating how smart connectivity can be implemented for electrical and thermal energy using a photovoltaic system combined with the latest in heat pump technology. This solution allows users to consume the lion's share of the electricity they themselves generate from solar power in their own homes which significantly reduces their electricity costs while also powering the heat pump so it can extract heat from the air, water, or ground and convert it into energy that can be used for heating or hot water. The Bosch system features an energy management system that knows when the heat pump requires electricity and provided there has been enough sunshine answers that need with solar power.
At the heart of the smart control system is e.Control, which is connected to the household's electricity meter and monitors power flows within the home. The system is designed to always prioritize supply to any home appliances currently in operation. Should the photovoltaic system connected to a Bosch inverter generate any surplus power, e.Control sends a signal to the heat pump to heat the hot water tank. This means optimum use is made of the household's solar power, since it avoids feeding any surplus electricity into the grid at too cheap a price. What's more, it relieves the public grid.
Smart energy storage solution
Integrating the Bosch Power Tec BPT-S 5 Hybrid storage solution into this energy system boosts the degree to which a household can make use of self-generated electricity from the photovoltaic system. Even when the sky is overcast or after sunset, the storage system continues to provide the heat pump with a reliable supply of electricity. If the storage system has been integrated, any surplus electricity is sent to the powerful lithium-ion batteries before a signal is sent to the heat pump. When the hot water tank is heated, electrical power is converted into thermal energy, which in effect increases the stored energy. So running such a system is a large step toward achieving independence from the public grid.
Smart security systems for enhanced security at home
Another innovation being presented is a way to access surveillance video remotely. Limited bandwidth makes it impossible to stream HD video on mobile devices whereas dynamic transcoding technology delivers both smooth live video streaming and instant access to HD (1080p) images when needed, regardless of available bandwidth. Combined with the Video Security app, users are allowed access to camera controls, live video streams, and HD images via a mobile device anytime and from anywhere. It also enables users to instantly retrieve the correct video data from hours of recorded material.
Bosch is also showcasing burglar alarm systems. The B-Series intrusion control panels provide convenient security monitoring of homes and small businesses. These flexible panels offer customized security and remote operation from smart phones and tablets. B-Series panels can be programmed to control individual rooms or up to four distinct areas of a home or business property. This enables arming or disarming certain areas such as a guest suite, sunroom, kitchen, or detached garage without affecting other rooms. The panels check for open windows and doors, monitor smoke detectors, activate panic devices and perform other services to keep homes and businesses secure. The Remote Security Control app allows system operation from iOS or Android devices. Arm or disarm the system, check status and control monitored devices over the panels cellular connection, the internet, or through a local wireless network using a hand-held device. Event notifications such as alarms or other warnings can also be sent directly to mobile phones to keep owners informed about the status of their homes or businesses while they are away.
In addition, Bosch is presenting the Z-Wave Home Control Gateway. This solution allows Bosch B-Series control panels to be connected with Z-Wave devices including lighting controls, door locks, temperature sensors, IP cameras, and more, in order to provide customers with home automation and remote monitoring capabilities. Programming possibilities include automatically arming the security system when an exterior door is locked or disarming the system when the door is unlocked. When a user leaves home, tapping an away button on a smartphone can also trigger the doors to lock, the security system to arm, interior lights to turn off and the thermostat to adjust to conserve energy and reduce costs. These are just a few of the options available for effortless home control, as the intuitive wizard makes it easy for integrators to program trigger- or schedule-based automation tailored for each customer. A web interface allows the user access to a system dashboard and home control via an iOS or Android smartphone or other web-enabled device.
Smart mobility solutions: more safety and convenience on the road
20 years ago, the internet revolutionized computing. Over the next few years, it will revolutionize the car. At the CES, Bosch is demonstrating how it is making cars an active part of the internet and bringing drivers a range of benefits. Bosch already has extensive know-how in all relevant areas. The company offers hardware that establishes the connection to the outside world, a flexible basic software suite that brings together service providers and users, as well as numerous related services.
The physical enabler for any smart solution is Boschs connectivity control unit. This small box is connected to the in-car network and comprises a GMS module for communication, and usually also a GPS module that provides data on the current position important information for many services. Bosch offers the unit in various configurations for applications in passenger cars, trucks, as well as motorcycles. As early as 2016, for example, Bosch expects every new long-haul commercial vehicle in Europe and the United States to be offered with a networking solution.
The wholly-owned subsidiary Bosch Software Innovations offers a modular software suite that can be flexibly utilized. For example, it has been in use as the basis for a networked and easy-to-use vehicle charging infrastructure in Singapore since 2011 and as the basis for a fleet management service in Germany since 2013. From 2015, it will form the platform for an innovative intermodal transportation concept in Stuttgart.
Boschs new telematics services provide greater transparency and a clearer overview for fleet operators. Via the interface for the on-board diagnosis (OBD) system in the vehicle, journey and service data is sent to Bosch for data analysis. On the basis of this evaluated data, the fleet operator can optimize operating and maintenance times. Thanks to the integration of GPS vehicle tracking, services such as an electronic logbook and a theft warning system are also available. This helps to reduce the overall cost of the vehicle.
A truly lifesaving solution is the in-vehicle emergency notification service eCall. If the system detects that the vehicle has been involved in an accident, this information is sent to a Bosch communication center which is manned around the clock. The centers multilingual associates contact the driver and alert the police as well as emergency services if necessary.
Bosch is pushing connectivity forward in workshops
Connectivity doesnt end when the car has to go in for service or repair. Since vehicle electronics are getting ever more powerful and complex, Bosch has made it possible for workshops to access certain vehicle data helpful for error diagnosis and repair online. Boschs Flex Inspect diagnostic system can automatically read out the fault memory, check the battery, tire inflation pressure, and chassis geometry. On the basis of this, a customer service advisor is able to immediately discuss any necessary repairs with the driver. During the repair work, the technician can make use of augmented reality technology. After focusing the diagnostics tablet computers camera on the engine compartment, relevant information such as repair instructions and necessary tools are superimposed on the image. The time-consuming consultation of service manuals is thus unnecessary. Even parts that are hidden behind covers or the dashboard can be depicted as three-dimensional images. Error diagnosis and repair has never been so easy.
New display techniques and an appealing smartphone integration solution
On one hand, new connected services are leading to an ever increasing amount of information. On the other hand, driver distraction must be minimized. At the CES, Bosch is showcasing technical solutions that help to prioritize information and display it in a highly intuitive way. A particularly attractive approach is display-based instrument clusters. These replace conventional displays and project all of the instrument, navigation, and multimedia information into the driver's field of vision. Depending on the situation and the drivers wishes, they offer different layouts. Two Bosch solutions for fully display-based instrument clusters are already in series production in the BMW i8 and the Audi TT, with more to come. Another cost-effective solution is the Bosch combiner head-up display. The system does not project the information onto the windshield but instead onto a small special plastic screen positioned below it. This image is superimposed on the scenery outside the vehicle in such a way that these appear to merge with one another at a distance of around two meters in front of the vehicle. Since 2014, the system has been installed in a variety of BMW Group vehicles.
Connectivity with the outside world is currently achieved mainly via the smartphone. With its mySPIN solution, Bosch is offering a highly appealing way to integrate Android-based phones as well as iOS-based ones. mySPIN creates a perfect device-vehicle link and ensures much safer and more reliable in-car use. Other Bosch infotainment systems being showcased at the CES demonstrate natural voice input or a navigation system that offers a proactive driving strategy based on real-time traffic info. To keep the new assistance and convenience functions up-to-date, the Bosch subsidiary ESCRYPT is showcasing a solution for secure wireless software updates.
Assisted driving and e-bike demos at the Vehicle Intelligence Marketplace
The mobility of the future is electrified, automated, and connected. At the outdoor area of the vehicle intelligence marketplace, Bosch is showcasing innovations that bring us a step closer to automated driving. A demonstration vehicle featuring the Bosch traffic jam assistant will prove that self-guided driving in heavy traffic already has become reality. The car can brake, accelerate, and steer within its lane completely independently. The driver still has to monitor the vehicle, but the overall burden is much lower. Visitors are also welcome to try out e-bikes of various brands featuring Bosch e-bike drive units on a dedicated course. There will also be an overview of Boschs various sensor technologies as well as its wide range of electromobility solutions, from e-bikes and e-scooters to hybrid and fully-electric vehicles.
Smart devices, software, and sensors
Bosch is the global market leader in the area of microelectromechanical sensors (MEMS), a key technology when it comes to connecting things over the internet. Today, every second smartphone in the world is equipped with Bosch sensors. Bosch's strategic aim is to offer solutions for connected mobility, networked production, as well as for networked energy systems and buildings. Intelligent sensors represent the next level of technical advancement. These are equipped with a radio interface and a microcontroller. As a result, sensors are able to transmit relevant data via the internet, for instance to mobile end devices. Software integration is decisive for the next wave of advancement in micromechanics, which are already widespread in automotive and consumer electronics.
All objects can be fitted with sensors and wi-fi devices and assigned their very own web address for exchanging data. This connectivity is the cornerstone of the internet of things. It is what makes connected living happen. Bosch provides sensors for a wide range of uses in the automotive and consumer electronics applications. Every second smartphone in the world is equipped with a Bosch sensor. Following the technological trend to a greater range of measurable variables and increased intelligence, Bosch Sensortec will unveil a new multi-functional sensor at CES 2015 that integrates four measurands, enabling a new range of applications in areas such as consumer electronics, wearables, and the IoT. Bosch brand Akustica will also highlight its high-performance, HD voice microphone portfolio.
The aim is to transmit only relevant information to the internet, and not raw data. This local data processing calls for the special kind of systems know-how that Bosch brings to the table. But there is practically no limit to what can still be connected via sensors. As a result, things that were free of electronics in the past, such as doors and windows, will be able to transmit data on their status to the internet. In brief, micromechanics make the internet of things possible. With its new company Bosch Connected Devices and Solutions GmbH, Bosch aims to develop new solutions in this realm. The company focuses on the segments Smart Home, Transport, Logistics and Traffic, Smart Activity, and Connected Industry.
A new dimension in charging: Bosch Wireless Charging System
Bosch is the world's first supplier to enable the advantages of inductive energy transfer to be used with cordless tools. With its Wireless Charging System, Bosch is presenting a new dimension in charging technology and providing new ways to make working with cordless tools efficient, cost-saving, and time-saving. The technology, which is used in other areas in devices such as charging stations for electric toothbrushes and recently also in cellphones, is based on contactless energy transfer. An alternating magnetic field is generated in the transmitter using a coil. The receiver also contains a coil which is penetrated by the alternating magnetic field. This induces a voltage and generates a current flow. In the case of Bosch's Wireless Charging System, this means that the charger emits a magnetic field which is received by the battery and transformed into charging current. However, the power transferred is more than 50 times greater than that used in ordinary electric toothbrushes (one watt), in order to reach the same charging times as those provided by conventional power tool battery chargers.
3D printer for creative and functional purposes
The Bosch brand Dremel is presenting the Dremel 3D Idea Builder, the most user-friendly 3D printing experience on the market. This adds a new dimension to the brands robust portfolio of versatile tool systems. The Idea Builder is yet another high-quality, easy-to-use tool from Dremel designed to inspire and empower the end users to build on their own ideas with the support and mentorship of the Dremel Experts. Through a strategic partnership with Autodesk, Dremel will provide free print-ready 3D models and simple design tools, while continuing to release new design tools on www.Dremel3D.com to coach users through the building process.

Bosch heads up research project IT solutions to stabilize connected logistics systems Using real time data from production and logistics to aid decision making
- ProveIT project receives funding from German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy
- Focus on developing a software platform for informed manual interventions in connected logistics systems
- Aim: cost-effective and reliable supply chains
Logistics chains and the butterfly effect
The logistics sector still lacks this sort of decision aid. As supply chains become more and more complex, covering large areas and running according to tight schedules, any disruption as well as any reaction to a disruption has a knock-on effect on the entire logistics network. Without access to a reliable set of data and a high-performance IT platform, it is extremely difficult for logistics employees to assess what corrective action makes sense in any given situation. The ProveIT platform will supply dispatchers with the information they need to respond correctly to disruptions. It is also designed to restore disrupted transport networks to their normal operational state quickly. Reliable logistics networks are also a core component of connected industry (industry 4.0).
Incorporating production data
The project team is drawing on a range of familiar technologies, including vehicle tracking using GPS and software for transport planning. What's new is that production information is also incorporated into the decision making process. How urgently does the auto plant, say, need the materials it ordered? Is it a case of topping up supplies, or will production break down if the materials are not delivered promptly? Big data relating to unit sales of products and the traffic situation can also be incorporated into the platform, which will pool all this information and provide users both companies and logistics service providers with a range of services for planning and managing logistical processes. For instance, if actual data begin to depart from target data, the platform will warn users and display appropriate responses. The responses offered will take into account the implications for the whole transport network, considering actions holistically rather than in isolation. To enable the platform to factor in real-time data such as vehicle position or delivery status, the project partners are also developing an application that truck drivers can use on their mobile devices.
Bringing together partners from industry, IT development, and research
Together, the members of the project consortium possess all the expertise needed to develop and run the ProveIT platform. Robert Bosch GmbH is heading the project and, like ZF Friedrichshafen AG, is an industrial user of the platform. The logistics service provider Geis has assumed responsibility for the planning of transport operations and operational implementation. The IT providers LOCOM and PTV are developing system solutions for transport planning and management, while the Research Center for Information Technology (FZI) at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) is overseeing the components used to manage irregularities and disruptions. Responsibility for the global concept and scientific approach lies with the Institute for Materials Handling and Logistics (IFL) at the KIT. In the first phase of the project, the consortium will build up a common system architecture, which will then be tested and refined in pilot operation.
More efficient logistics
ProveIT won't just benefit industry and its suppliers; commerce and transport companies stand to gain as well. The project provides improved tactical support by stabilizing logistics systems in the event of disruption and bringing them back on schedule. This makes supply chains more cost-effective the project partners anticipate that ProveIT will be able to reduce total mileage by 5 percent for a given transport volume, with all the savings that brings in terms of energy, costs, and CO2 emissions. The project is due to run until fall 2016.

Christmas 2014 High-tech gifts high on wish lists Sophisticated Bosch sensors under the Christmas tree Sensors as electronic sensory organs
- New and in demand: fitness wristbands
- One in every four Germans plans to purchase a tablet PC
- Bosch is the global market leader for micromechanical sensors
include smartphones and tablet PCs. This trend means fascinating sensors
are becoming commonplace. Bosch equips many of these must-have
devices with tiny sensory organs.
Stuttgart This year, many of the Christmas gifts waiting under the tree to be unwrapped will be modern electronic devices. Roughly one in four Germans (26 percent) is planning to purchase a smartphone or give one away as a gift, and just as many people would like to do the same with tablet PCs, according to a representative survey conducted by BITKOM, the major association of the digital industry in Germany. Some of the worlds most sensitive gauges are installed in such devices, thus finding their way into consumers homes. Tiny sensors are responsible for determining the position of cell phones and tablets, which then turn the image on screen in the corresponding direction.
Smaller than the diameter of an atom
The sophisticated detection elements in the sensors (MEMS sensors, microelectromechanical systems), which measure just a few millimeters in length, are manufactured out of silicon. The moving structures created within them are no bigger than a few thousandths of a millimeter. Whenever a sensor is moved, a very small electric current is generated that provides information on position, geomagnetic field, and acceleration all details that make it possible to control and operate cell phones and tablets. The intuitive operation of these devices accounts for a large part of the fascination they have for users.
The finest movements measured in the sensors occur within a space no larger than the diameter of an atom. Bosch is the global market leader in the field of sensors. Approximately three million sensors are manufactured every day and installed in roughly every second smartphone worldwide.
Fitness trackers are new on the list of the most popular high-tech devices, according to the BITKOM survey. The survey reveals that 16 percent of people in Germany would like to purchase a fitness wristband or give one away as a gift. For the first time, these fitness trackers are among the most popular high-tech gifts. MEMS sensors are also used in these devices, for example, to turn the jolts and vibrations measured while the wearer is jogging into a motion profile.
A world record-setting sensor
Bosch has set a world record, creating the worlds smallest and most energy-efficient sensor unit the BMI160 to ensure that all these devices have as long a service life as possible. Among other things, an acceleration sensor and a yaw-rate sensor (gyroscope) are found in the units tiny housing, which measures 2.5 x 3.0 x 0.8 mm. The sensor gauges the position of cell phones with great accuracy. Other devices that benefit from sensors are remote controls, game controls, smart glasses, and head-mounted displays. The latter are worn like ski goggles, and give their wearers the sense of being in a virtual space. When they move their head, the virtual image changes accordingly.
Conventional sensors often consume a lot of power. But even when the BMI160s acceleration sensor and gyroscope are in full operational mode, typical power consumption amounts to a mere 950 microamperes, which is less than half the market standard a world record.
That is why our chip can now run the entire day. It no longer needs to be switched off from time to time to conserve the smartphones battery, says Torsten Ohms, project manager for the development of the chip at Bosch Sensortec. This means that the cell phone can now use the sensors to record all the users activity throughout the day. At the end of the day, it can then show them how much energy they used up going to work, at the office, and walking up and down stairs. Users looking to lose weight, for instance, can choose their evening meal based on how many calories they burned over the course of the day, Ohms says. In the days immediately following Christmas, this may prove to be one feature of the latest high-tech gifts that is in particularly high demand.
Sensors at the 2015 CES
Bosch will be attending the Las Vegas Consumer Electronics Show from January 5-9, 2015, where it will present its smart sensors that facilitate intelligent solutions for a connected world, all designed to make life more comfortable, more efficient, and safer.

Man cited for firing rifleJuly 29,2014
Man cited for firing rifle
BARRE Police say a Plainfield man fired a rifle on Merchants Row in Barre Saturday.
Police say they responded to Gustos Bar on Prospect Street for a reported unwanted customer in the parking lot. Upon arrival, police located Edward Bennett, 40, of Calais, and Justin Grant, 22, of Plainfield. Police say Grant was trying to get Bennett, his uncle, to leave, but the pair did not leave.
Police say Bennett then went and started banging on the hood of someones car. Police started walking over to Bennett when a fight broke out between Bennett and some other unnamed males. When police were investigating the fight, they say Grant grabbed a High-Point, Model 996, 9 mm rifle, walked over to the crowd and fired a shot in the air.
Police then drew their weapons on Grant and told him to put the rifle down. He refused and an officer got close enough to take Grant to the ground and police removed the rifle from him.
Grant was cited for reckless endangerment.MORE IN This Just InIt will be a busy week in gubernatorial politics with two candidates holding formal campaign...

Tillman CB question overhangs Bears' draft, free agency
Didn't the Bears just go through this scenario?
Overhanging the start of the 2013 offseason was the state affairs between the Bears and Brian Urlacher — an aging veteran with skills, health and a value subject to debate. Easily overlooked this offseason is the parallel situation with Charles Tillman — what the Bears will offer him, what his reaction to that will be and what the non-Bears market for him will be.
[RELATED: Free agency may decide whether Bears draft DE over DT]
Whether the Bears can or will offer Tillman a deal in the range of the $2 million Urlacher was offered remains to play out. A veteran starting cornerback of quality is worth every bit of $2 million, if that is how the Bears still regard Tillman.
And they appear to: "From the standpoint that he is man of the year in the National Football League No. 1, it just goes to his character and his personality and his leadership skills," coach Marc Trestman said last week at the NFL Scouting Combine. "He's a terrific football player. He played very well certainly when he was healthy. So he's extremely important."
Tillman is on record wanting to continue playing for the Bears. They're on record wanting him to. But it's not necessarily that simple and projects to have a significant impact on the Bears' draft one way or the other.
The 2014 salary cap is expected to receive a bump of $4-6 million, which gives the Bears some added wiggle room for re-signing their own or pursuing other free agents. But given that every team gets the same $4-6 million added, it doesn't necessarily give the Bears any added cap ammunition that their peers don't also have.
[MORE: Who's the best DB in the 2014 NFL Draft?]
What also hasn't changed is the reality that it isn't possible to "buy" every position, meaning that draft hits are axiomatic to building a team successfully. Finding starters in Kyle Long and Jordan Mills took pressure off the offensive line this offseason; finding Alshon Jeffery in the 2012 draft removed the need to commit major cap resources at the wide-receiver position beyond Brandon Marshall (a looming contract-extension issue this season, but that problem is not on the front of the line just yet).
Drafting Jonathan Bostic and Khaseem Greene and shifting Shea McClellin to linebacker — meaning that three of the current top four linebackers are on their rookie contracts — makes Lance Briggs' 2014 price a non-problem. Paying major dollars for more than one linebacker can be a cap issue without bargains elsewhere.
So when the Bears' committed to Tim Jennings with a four-year contract extension immediately after the season, the money available for Tillman necessarily tightened. The Bears paid Tillman and Nathan Vasher some years back and it meant a cap squeeze elsewhere.
[RELATED: Bears 'D' scheme not the problem, talent and depth are]
GM Phil Emery brought in Isaiah Frey with a sixth-round pick in 2012, and the season-ending preseason leg injury to Kelvin Hayden necessitated moving Frey up to the No. 1 nickelback spot. The results weren't always optimal, but the experience gives the Bears some serviceable depth at a key position under another very manageable rookie contract.
For much of the last decade, the task of the personnel staff was finding a cornerback to play opposite Tillman. It's possible the top Bears question going into free agency is whether the Bears opt to secure Tillman to play opposite Jennings.

A post office building that stood for more than 50 years on Myrtle Street in Stillwater will be torn down this week to make room for Trinity Lutheran Church's latest expansion.
"The popularity of our children's and youth programs has grown significantly in the past few years," said pastor Dan Poffenberger. "We're expanding the church to give everyone a little more elbow room to learn, grow and have fun."
Trinity has owned the post office building for 23 years. The Postal Service moved its retail operations to remodeled Croix Center property on 4th Street, also owned by Trinity, in 2012.
Trinity has hired McGough Construction and Bentz/Thompson/Rietow to design a 14,000-square-foot addition, which will include an accessible entrance and a large outdoor green space.
The demolition is expected to take about a week. Trinity plans to break ground on the addition, subject to final congregational approval, this year. Construction should take about nine months, with a grand opening scheduled for late 2014.
Broken pipe closes Wildwood library
The Wildwood Branch of the Washington County Library in Mahtomedi will be closed this month while repairs are made after a water pipe burst in the library's ceiling.
The building probably won't reopen before Feb. 1, the county said.
The library's books, shelving and other materials have been moved into a conference room, and water was removed from carpeting in the building. The building's carpet will be replaced, as will cabling for computers.
Any library customers awaiting reserved books from the Wildwood Branch now can retrieve them at the Oakdale Branch, 1010 Heron Av. N. If that is not convenient, customers can call the Oakdale library and make arrangements to pick up items at another library, the county said. The telephone number at the Oakdale library is 651-730-0504.
Library returns can be made to any Washington County Library branch, or libraries in Stillwater and Bayport.
