US Mint - VA Center for Women Veterans Collaborate...and Deliver Jobs
Women have served in the United States Armed Forces since the Revolutionary War. Today, there are over two million women veterans across the United States, representing 9.2 percent of the entire living veterans population. Women are one of the fastest growing segments of the overall veteran population. In the past, women accounted for only about 4 percent of the World War II veterans and about 3 percent and 12.5 percent, respectively, of the Korean and Vietnam-era veterans. Women veterans today represent about 30 percent of post 9/11 veterans according to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Today, active duty and recruiting data project the percentage of women veterans to increase to almost 16 percent of the entire veteran population by 2040. Learn More*

More than 38,000 veterans who live in Missouri are women, and that number continues to grow rapidly.

How Can We End Homelessness Among Women Veterans?
A new report offers a four-pronged approach to address homelessness among female veterans.
Researched by the USC Center for Innovation and Research on Veterans & Military Families and the Jonas Center for Nursing and Veterans Healthcare, the report is a pointed call to action for government organizations, non-governmental agencies and philanthropic entities to collaborate and provide resources to fill the gaps that make these women vulnerable to homelessness.
The four key actions are:
- Initiate prevention and early intervention efforts.
- Provide health care/child care support for children of female veterans.
- Broaden definitions of "veteran" and "homeless," thereby increasing eligibility for care and benefits.
- Improve awareness of and dispel myths related to the issue.

Nonprofit Helps Texas Women Veterans
Most of you are probably familiar with the box-office-hit movie "American Sniper," the story of a Navy Seal (Chris Kyle) who spent four tours in the Middle East. While this movie is categorized as a war film, the real point of the story is how Kyle's combat experiences affected his mental state upon returning to civilian life, his relationship with his family, and his efforts to overcome what's now commonly called Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome.
The mental state of soldiers returning to civilian life has been brought to the public's attention in the last few years. What image usually comes to mind when you think about the word "soldiers" with PTSD/family issues/trouble adjusting to civilian life? If you're like me, that image is probably of a male soldier. But, did you know that women soldiers face a lot of the same issues as the men? Learn More*

VA Finds PTSD Manifests Differently in Women than Men
With women now serving on the front lines like never before in our nation's history, the military faces the new challenge of understanding the toll combat takes on the female psyche.
Significant research has been done on the emotional impact of combat on the soldier. The blockbuster film American Sniper did much to raise public awareness of the toll combat can take on soldiers and those they love. In the film, Chris Kyle, played by Bradley Cooper, manifests some of the common symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Learn More*
Veterans Affairs to Hold Women's Recognition Events
The Office of Veterans Affairs is celebrating Women's History Month with Women's Recognition events that will present "Weaving the Stories of Women's Lives." This year's theme presents the opportunity to weave women's stories - individually and collectively - into the essential fabric of the nation's history.
The accounts of the lives of individual women are critically important because they reveal exceptionally strong role models who share a more expansive vi-sion of what a woman can do. The stories of women's lives and the choices they made encourage girls and young women to think larger and bolder, and give boys and men a fuller understanding of the female experience. Learn More*
Connecticut Bill Aims to Connect Women Veterans to Benefits, Services
U.S. Army Sgt. 1st Class Elizabeth Davis saw three combat zones during one tour of duty and dodged bullets just like her male comrades. Still, the Enfield resident says she's never been treated as an equal in her 24 years as a soldier, and she doesn't believe that will change once she retires at the end of this year.
According to a January report released by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Connecticut is home to 16,545 female veterans - a number that is expected to grow. As these women return to Connecticut, they need support, information and access to appropriate, quality care. A measure being considered by state lawmakers would help them. Learn More*
5 Ways Women are Still Marginalized Today

Air Force Veteran's Suicide Sheds Light on Women Soldiers and PTSD
It's a chilling statistic: Twenty-two United States veterans commit suicide a day, according to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. One recent victim: Thirty-year-old Air Force Reserve Capt. Jamie Brunette.
Capt. Brunette, the youngest of five children from Milwaukee, had served two tours of duty in Afghanistan during her 11-year Air Force career. On Feb. 9, police in Tampa, Fla., found her dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. Her family and friends came together this week to honor Brunette's memory and raise awareness about posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), something Brunette's friends say was hard for her to talk about.

Report Finds Serious Shortcomings in How VA Cares for Women Veterans
The Veterans Affairs Department and other government agencies are not doing enough to help women who served in the military, even as their number is rising dramatically, according to a new report.
The report, released Wednesday by the Disabled American Veterans, identified serious gender gaps in virtually every program serving veterans, including health care, job training, finance, housing, social issues and combatting sexual assault.
The advocacy group's report blamed most of the deficiencies on a disregard for the needs of female veterans, saying the VA and other agencies focus on "the 80 percent solution for men who dominate (veterans affairs) in both numbers and public consciousness." Learn More*

State Agency Looking at Number of Women Veterans
From 1995 to 1998, Yvonne Betron served as a U.S. Marine.
But it wasn't until 2012, when she went to work for the Nevada Department of Veterans Services that she realized how many benefits were available for veterans in general and women in particular to help with housing, disability, emergency assistance, tax assistance and other issues.
Betron now is coordinator of the Nevada Women Veterans Advisory Committee and is trying to locate all the women in the state who have served in the armed forces so they can learn about benefits and other help. She hopes Nevada women veterans will fill out a survey the committee has devised to not only count them, but find out how they're doing and what they need. Learn More*

Motivating Women Veterans to Start Businesses
Entrepreneurship often requires a creative approach, breaking new ground and coloring outside the lines. For this reason military veterans, accustomed to a strict chain of command and clear-cut rules and regulations, can find it difficult to make the transition to independent business ownership.
For women, it can be even harder--and their service numbers are significant. Women represent about 15 percent of today's active-duty military, 20 percent of reservists, 16 percent of the National Guard and 20 percent of new recruits, according to Syracuse University's Institute for Veterans and Military Families (IVMF).

Babies at the VA: Lessons Learned from Maternity Care for Veterans
Historically, and with rare exception, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs provides care for veterans only , not their families. So, if a woman veteran gave birth, the VA covered the mom's medical bills, but not her baby's.
It took a lot of lobbying and an Act of Congress, but a few years ago newborns with veteran moms became eligible for up to seven days of hospital care. Learn More*

California to Vote on Veterans Housing Programs
California voters weary of wading through a thicket of confusing state ballot measures in every election will get a welcome respite in the June primary.
A $600-million affordable housing program for veterans and a proposal that would require local governments to pick up the tab for public access to agency meetings and records are the only two statewide measures before voters.
The veterans housing measure — Proposition 41 — would allow the state to provide low-interest loans and other financial assistance to local governments, nonprofits and developers to provide affordable housing to veterans and their families. A portion of the funds would go toward providing transitional housing to homeless veterans. Learn More*

Tapping Hidden Talent Pools: How to Hire Women Veterans into Great Careers
According to U.S. Census data, while women comprise 10 percent of veterans, they comprise 13 percent of veterans in today's civilian workforce. Clearly, women veterans are succeeding in civilian careers despite the fact that they still face higher unemployment than male veterans and female non-veterans. Like their male counterparts, women veterans bring an incredible wealth of leadership, technology skills and experience to the civilian workforce. This is an untapped talent pool from which employers across the U.S can and should benefit.
How can we recruit female veteran job seekers if so many choose to remain incognito?
Create a safe environment for women veterans to share highlights about the skills and experience they attained during their military service.
Showcase photos and testimonials from women veteran employees in recruitment marketing materials. Use terminology such as "military service" in lieu of "veteran" which may resonate better with women who served.
Create communities to connect women veteran employees and engage them as recruitment ambassadors.
Dispel myths that hiring managers may have about the availability and qualifications of female veterans. Now you have the data to overcome the common objection of "but there aren't many women veteran applicants out there!"
Women Veterans to Get Dedicated Assistance

Remember the Women Veterans
This is Army Week, the 239th anniversary of the Army's founding, and it offers an opportunity to recognize the extraordinary service of female veterans such as myself 2.2 million and counting and the unique challenges we face on active duty and after we leave the service. Women in the military services once were limited to support roles and not assigned to front line combat.
But while most women in uniform still occupy support roles — such as critically important jobs in aircraft maintenance, logistics and communications — the fact is that in modern wars like ours in Iraq and Afghanistan, there are no front lines. I am one of many female veterans who have been wounded in firefights and have returned home with physical and psychological injuries. There is nothing unusual about women in combat anymore.

A Force Multiplier for Women Veterans
Local female military veterans will find a venue to air their concerns in September at a retreat geared specifically to their needs.

Co-organized by the Sarasota County Veteran's Commission and nonprofit Professionals Assisting Military, Family, and Friends, the event will be a community effort.
Alfano first noticed a discrepancy in the way male and female veterans were treated when she began bringing her long-time boyfriend to events.
"People would shake his hand and not mine," Alfano said with disbelief. "At first, I didn't say a word, but after too many times, I would tell them, 'I'm the veteran, he never served.' " Learn More*
Veteran Sings Tribute to Women Veterans
I was raised in the small town of Gordon, Texas. I joined the Air Force when I was 17, and went to basic training two weeks after graduating from high school. I started out in law enforcement, but due to a shoulder injury in tech school, I had to cross-train into transportation.
My first duty station was Castle Air Force Base, California, nestled in the beautiful San Joaquin Valley. While at Castle, I served as the fleet analyst, and upon reenlistment, cross-trained into training management. I managed training for the 328th and 34th Bomb Squadrons. I loved seeing those big, beautiful, magnificent bombers take off and return.
As a training manager, I was not in a deployable position, but provided support at the base level. I lost friends in Desert Storm and did what I could to welcome others back home and provide support to the families left behind. While stationed at Castle, I started my little family with two children – a girl and a boy. This gave me such an appreciation and admiration for those who have had to leave their family behind.

York City Legislator Wants Study for Women Veterans
As a Veterans Affairs scandal plays out nationwide, a local lawmaker is among a group that wants to form a task force to study the health care issues unique to women veterans. While soldier health care is the purview of the federal government, Rep. Kevin Schreiber, D-York City, said the state Legislature could work with national legislators to further the findings of the study.
Schreiber plans to introduce a resolution — a counterpart to a Senate resolution — to create a group and issue a report by Nov. 30 on quality and access to health care.
The legislation was one of several initiatives unveiled Tuesday at the Capitol by the legislature's bipartisan Women's Health Caucus. The group announced its first phase of legislation last year, with Tuesday's attention locked on seven new measures that caucus co-chairman Rep. Dan Frankel, D-Allegheny, said focus on the goal of putting women's concerns before politics.Learn More*

Review: Bodhi in SM Makati is the only vegetarian place within a big underground food court. The seating area is shared with all the other eateries and can be quite noisy. It is more a place for a "quick bite" than for an extended meal. During my business trip to Makati I have been here several times. And I loved the place! Most of the times I had (white) rice plus 2 "viands" plus a bottle of water for in total less that 2.50 USD. I tried only the vegan options, but there was enough choice for me. I am not really a fan of mock meat, but this was about the best mock meat I ever had. The vegetables were delicious as well. Not to forget the big good lumpias. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Bodhi, I miss you!

Over the last few weeks, many have commented about Beyoncé and Jay-Z's decision to apply for trademark protection for the name of their newborn child — Blue Ivy Carter. Many have observed that the move will protect Blue Ivy and the family from exploitation, while others have accused the celebrity couple of trying to cash in on their own offspring by making themselves "poised to earn even more thanks to their recent move to trademark their baby's name." But before you make up your mind, let's stop and think about just how famous this baby is.
Celebrity Babies
For starters, it's not just the unique name that makes Blue Ivy famous. After all, plenty of celebrities have kids with bizarre names: Kal-El Cage (Nicolas Cage), Bear Blu Jarecky (Alicia Silverstone), Pilot Inspektor (Jason Lee), Moxie Crimefighter (Penn Jillette), Fifi Trixibelle (Bob Geldof and Paula Yates), Apple (Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin), Kyd Duchovny (David Duchovny and Tea Leoni), Sage Moonblood (Sylvester Stallone), Prince Michael II a/k/a "Blanket" (Michael Jackson), Dweezil and Moon Unit (Frank Zappa) and, of course, Jermajesty Jackson (Jermaine Jackson). But how many people can you name that were truly famous during their infancy? There's Louise Brown — the world's first in-vitro baby. And, of course, Chas Lindbergh (a/k/a the "Lindbergh Baby"). But that's about it.
Blue Ivy, on the other hand, is not just famous for her name and parentage. Within 48 hours of her birth, Jay-Z released the song "Glory," which incorporated Blue Ivy's baby-noises and made her the youngest person ever to appear on a billboard chart. The Huffington Post currently has an entire page dedicated to Blue Ivy, with a tag-line that reads "Some news is so big it needs its own page."

In this paper we propose an interference detection technique for detecting time varying jamming signals in spread spectrum communication systems. The technique is based on discrete polynomial phase transform (DPPT), where the jamming signal is synthesized from the modulated spread spectrum signal using the DPPT. The technique has shown good performance under low interference conditions with 2dB SJR, when correlation coefficient between the synthesized chirp signal and the reference chirp is 0.9. The computational complexity of the proposed technique is low compared to other techniques such as Hough-Radon transform. This interference detection technique can be applied for different interference excision methods in military and wireless communication applications.

I have and use the Yankee tank, so I can't comment on the others. My only comment is that it uses a LOT of chemistry, so I always try to have all 12 slots filled to make the most of it. I haven't noticed any poor quality issues though(yet).
Jdef told me another option that I'm anxious to try though, and that is development by inspection. He uses a very small green light on a footswitch. He developes the negs in a tray, and when he reaches the development time he flips the light on and inspects the neg. If the highlights are there, then he's done. I'm going to try this method using a Kodah No. 13 filter that I just got for panolure printing. I like the idea, we'll see how it works. Did I get that right Jdef?

Browning Billboard Hoodie is rated out of 5 by 6.Rated 4 out of 5 by bjnak from Nice Hoodie Nice LIGHT WEIGHT hoodie, not a typical heavy sweatshirt. Great for cool summer breezes. Didn't realize it has 'browning' written across the back, but that is OK by me.Date published: 2015-08-26Rated 4 out of 5 by dawg of MS from Good top. Good looking and true to size; could have been a little heavier but great for cool temps.Date published: 2015-02-20Rated 5 out of 5 by pete72 from great priceDate published: 2014-11-29Rated 4 out of 5 by Jeremy from not foe people with long arms I like the construction of these garments. The material is a lighter weight than most hoodies, but that makes them more comfortable to wear. The only down fall to them is that the sleeves are too short for my arms.Date published: 2014-11-25Rated 5 out of 5 by TawneyFarm from Nice looking hoodie This is a really nice hoodie. Good quality. Soft inside. Not too heavy or stiff. Looks good with the logos.Date published: 2014-11-07Rated 3 out of 5 by Steveski from Good Looking Hoodie These are a good looking hoodie but they wear smaller then intended. My sons wear a small so I ordered a medium so the could wear them over another shirt. But the medium was to small to wear over another shirt. It has to be worn alone as a small. If you want to wear it over another shirt. Make sure you order two (2) sizes bigger. I wish I have.Date published: 2014-10-25

Please make this last as long as possible, Mysterion has potential to be good and Sandman was brainwashed by Wizard a long time ago. Maybe do the sAme as Otto did to Peter with Vulture, Electro and Chameleon, let their brains be swapped by other people, maybe as part of an us-project or something.

North Korea Adamant on Missile LaunchWritten by Super User
On March 24, the North Korean government warned the UN, the United States, and Japan against issuing sanctions in retaliation for its planned launch of a communications satellite between April 4 and 8. The communist nation's foreign ministry issued a statement published by the Korean Central News Agency that said the imposition of UN sanctions would violate a September 2005 six-nation agreement on mutual respect.
North Korea Detains U.S. JournalistsWritten by Super User
Two journalists for the California-based online media outlet Current TV were taken into custody and detained by North Korean soldiers on March 17. The two women, Laura Ling and Euna Lee, were identified by a missionary who spoke to them earlier that day and later shared his information with the Associated Press.
During a mid-March forum organized by the Pew Center on Global Climate Change in Washington, China's top climate-change negotiator, Li Gao, said his country should not pay for cutting emissions created by producing Chinese goods to satisfy the demands of countries importing Chinese goods. Li had joined envoys from Japan and the EU to engage in preliminary talks in preparation for the December Climate Conference in Copenhagen. The stated purpose of that conference will be to reach an agreement to succeed the Kyoto Protocol before its provisions expire in 2012. Neither the United States nor China ratified the Kyoto agreement.
As many as 50 suspected Taliban militants destroyed 15 trucks at the al-Faisal terminal in Peshawar, Pakistan, early on the morning of March 16. A NATO supply convoy loaded with supplies bound for U.S. forces in Afghanistan was being assembled at the terminal, according to a Peshawar police official.
Will China Dump U.S. Debt?Written by Charles Scaliger
The Chinese government, to which the United States is in debt approximately $1 trillion, is preparing to use its leverage to exact concessions from the U.S. government. "We are concerned about the safety of our assets," Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao said at a news conference March 13. "I would like to call on the United States to honor its words, stay a credible nation and ensure the safety of Chinese assets."

Wednesday, April 20, 2005
© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Shannon JenkinsWhen a local Catholic woman saw the plume of white smoke rise from the Sistine Chapel, she thought, "It's a new day." Meg Atkinson, the parish secretary at Saint James Catholic Church in McDonough, watched on Tuesday as the 265th pope was named. Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger of Germany, now the former dean of the College of Cardinals, was elected the new pope and chose the name Benedict XVI. Atkinson said it was an exciting time as she and other parishioners crowded around a small television in the church's reception area to watch as the new pope was announced. "There's a little bit of sadness on one hand, but moving on with a new leader is also an exciting time," the Hampton woman said. "We're moving on in our faith. We have a new shepherd in town." The youth minister at Saint James was a little surprised that Ratzinger was selected on the second day of voting. "When it was so quick, I figured it was Ratzinger," Dwight Baker said. "It shows the unity of the church that the cardinals came to a quick decision." Atkinson said she wasn't so surprised. "I think it's a logical choice as the successor of John Paul II," she said. Since 1981, Ratzinger served as the head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith for the late pontiff and reportedly gave a "stirring" homily at his funeral. The newly named Benedict XVI is 78, only a few years younger than John Paul II, who died at the age of 84 on April 2. His age doesn't bother Baker and Atkinson. "I don't think it will be a big issue," Baker said. "This is more of a transitional period. He carries a lot of wisdom." "Whatever gifts this man has to share with the world for however long was meant to be," Atkinson said. "All you have is today. Whether he's in there a year or 10, it's part of God's plan. It's not for us to question." Father Gregory Hartmayer, from Saint Philip Benizi Catholic Church in Jonesboro, said the new pope's age is an "indication that this papacy will be somewhat shorter" than his predecessor's. "I think the schedule of the pope is rather demanding," Hartmayer said. "John Paul II changed the image of the papacy in terms of communicating and traveling. We hope (Benedict XVI) would have the good health to meet the demands of a given day and the communication and travel we are so used to with (John Paul II)." Hartmayer said he is looking forward to hearing more about Benedict XVI and seeing what kind of pope he will be. Neal Hightower, 58, a Stockbridge resident who is in the process of confirming as a Catholic, said the pope will have to deal with the moral challenges the church faces, as well as its status as a worldwide business entity. "He's got to have a certain balance a business acumen and he's called to be a great theologian," said Hightower, who hopes to confirm sometime in the fall. Cardinal Ratzinger's spirit, Hightower said, helped him to overcome some of the challenges he faced in the process of confirmation. "His spirit itself represented to me what it was like to be the pope," Hightower said. "Somehow it expanded inside of me what his job was ... so that I had a greater level of compassion." "The most important aspect of the church is the spiritual aspect, and to me, that (is what) he represents what the pope is really all about," he said. Hartmayer and Atkinson said they believe the pope will continue John Paul's legacy of peace. "Unity is always on the plate of the pope," Hartmayer said. Benedict, the first German pope in centuries, faces several issues, including the need for dialogue with Islam, priest sex-abuse scandals and a shortage of priests and nuns in the West. Daily Herald staff writer Michael Davis and The Associated Press contributed to this article.

Montral, December 2, 2013 A bioinformatics expert at the IRCM, Benjamin Haibe-Kains, recently published an article stressing the importance of standardizing drug screening studies in the prestigious scientific journal Nature. The study supports the need for further development and standardization to improve the reproducibility of drug screening studies, as they are important in identifying new therapeutic agents and their potential combinations with existing drugs.
Dr. Haibe-Kains's article investigated results from two large-scale pharmacogenomic studies the Cancer Genome Project (CGP) and the Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia (CCLE) published last year in Nature. The main goal of these studies was to identify genomic biomarkers that could predict patients' response to anticancer drugs. Because cancer patients often exhibit varied responses to anticancer treatments, and evidence indicates that response is determined in part by patient-specific genome alterations, cancer cell line studies have long been used to test the efficacy of therapeutic agents and explore genomic factors associated with drug response. These two studies screened multiple new and approved drugs on nearly 1,000 panels of cancer cell lines, of which 15 drugs and 471 cell lines were common.
"These studies provided us with a unique opportunity to look at the reproducibility of biomarker discovery in preclinical settings," says Dr. Haibe-Kains, Director of the Bioinformatics and Computational Biology research unit at the IRCM. "Our objective was to examine the uniformities and inconsistencies between results from the two independent studies, and assess the potential of building predictive models of drug response on the basis of those results."
Dr. Haibe-Kains and his research team observed overall good consistency of genomic profiles, which contain information about all the genes in the body and can be used to determine response to a drug. However, drug

Nice Condo, pet friendly
March 5, 2015
My wife and I stayed here for the month of Feb. and really enjoyed the condo and the area. The condo was roomy for us and our dog. Condo includes everything you need for a comfortable stay. The price was reasonable for the area. The owners were quick to respond to our questions and checked in once to see if all was well during our stay. Lots for things to do in Fort Myers, don't miss the Edison/Ford Winter Estates museums just a couple miles away. Would recommend to anyone wanting to stay in the Fort Myers area.

Loved the condo! Perfect location..close to downtown, we attended the Art Walk and Miusic Walk. Close to the Ft. Myer Country Club Golf Course and located in a beautiful residential neighborhood. The condo was tastefully furnished and has a new updated bathroom. Had everything we needed for a month's stay. We LOVED the POOL😎

The condo was very clean and well supplied with towels, sheets and kitchen items. The owners are very personable. There is an odor of cigarette smoke which may be from other nearby condos which was an issue for us. The pool was great. Didn't like having to pay for the laundry.

Nice Condo, Reasonable Rate

Rented this condo for two months. Enjoyed the experience. Good value for the money. The condo was very clean and had everything needed to stay there. The pool was enjoyable on the hot days. Close to the golf course was a plus. A nice little park was handy for walking our dog. The shopping was also very close by. Would not hesitate to stay there again.

Last night, the Cash for Clunkers program officially ended at 8 p.m. EST. However, the Department of Transportation has extended the deadline for dealers to file paperwork a second time; they have until 8 p.m. EST tonight to get their forms in order.
As of this morning, the government said that 665,000 deals — totaling $2.77 billion — had been registered. After the $100 million set aside for administrative costs that leaves only $130 million in the pot for the backlog of orders. That's roughly 32,500 more vehicles at an average of $4,000 per clunker credit.
Leading up to this weekend, the average number of sales in a day hovered in the 20,000 range, but an onslaught of last-minute shoppers might mean there could be more deals than money.

Venezuelan gasoline, being 20 times cheaper than in Colombia, is the most wanted smuggling item, followed by food and car parts, while reputable Colombian clothing flow to Venezuela. There are about 25,000 barrels of gasoline crossing illegally the Venezuelan border every day. The risky contraband smuggling, especially during the rainy season when the river rises, makes a living to hundreds of poor families in communities on both sides of the frontier.

Measuring Unconstrained Grasp Forces Using Fingernail Imaging
University of Utah (Stephen Mascaro)
This project develops the technology for unconstrained, multi-fingered measurement of human grasp forces using a fingernail imaging technique. Human subjects freely choose where to place their fingers on objects, allowing for unconstrained multi-finger grasping. The co-robot then detects the individual finger forces of a human partner by ascertaining blood flow, as measured through color change on a fingernail. A co-robot trained with the appropriate calibration data could recognize and emulate or adapt to a human partner's grasp forces, measured using only vision.

Ashes 2013-14: Ian Bell happy to bat at three for England
Ian Bell is willing to step in for his friend Jonathan Trott and bat at three for England in the second Ashes Test.
Joe Root and Gary Ballance are other options for the key position in the Adelaide match, starting on 5 December.
But Bell, who captained as England's final warm-up match tapered off into a draw, says he has already discussed it with the team's management.
Bell said: "We've spoken about it, and I've said I'm absolutely willing to go to number three."
Where should Bell bat?
- At number three, Bell has scored 1,437 runs in 37 innings at an average of 39.91
- In the number five position, Bell has 2,281 runs at 49.58 from 54 knocks
- Bell's most successful position is number six where he averages 59.92, with 1,618 runs in 37 innings
Bell, who was England's player of the series in last summer's Ashes when batting at five, added: "That decision is out of my control. We've obviously got a lot of options with the balance of the side. But I've put my hand up to go up the order, so we'll soon see."
Bell admitted that the departure of Warwickshire team-mate Trott after the 381-run first Test defeat in Brisbane with a stress-related illness had caught him by surprise.
"You could sense that he was a little bit more quiet, things like that," Bell said.
"I wasn't too aware of what was going on in the dressing-room at the time. As a friend I wish him a speedy recovery.
"It's a really sad thing to see him go, because he's been such a key player for us. We all have areas we're monitoring all the time, and you don't always open up to everyone.
"We do have people like (team psychologist) Mark Bawden, who are there to speak to all the time. I wish him all the best now and hope he can get back to normal as quickly as possible."
England's Ashes tour itinerary
31 Oct-2 Nov: drew with Western Australia Chairman's XI, Perth
6-9 Nov: drew with Australia A, Hobart
13-16 Nov: beat Australian Invitational XI, Sydney
21-25 Nov: First Test, Brisbane: lost by 381 runs
29-30 Nov: drew with Chairman's XI, Alice Springs
5-9 Dec: 2nd Test, Adelaide
13-17 Dec: 3rd Test. Perth
26-30 Dec: 4th Test, Melbourne
3-7 Jan 2014: 5th Test, Sydney
Australia coach Darren Lehmann announced earlier on Saturday that his players would desist from mentioning Trott on the field when the second Test begins on 5 December.
While Bell welcomed that news, he downplayed the talk of a serious rift between the two sides.
"I don't think that worries us too much. I think a lot of this talk about sledging has gone over the top - I don't see it as being any different to what it was like in the summer at home, or in series I've played in the past.
"The guys are really excited about the Adelaide Test. We are playing Ashes cricket and it's the most exciting form of the game as an Englishmen or an Australian. Both teams are desperate to win."
England ended the second and final day of their match against a Cricket Australia Chairman's XI on 47-1, having struggled in the field as their inexperienced opposition made 254-8.
Graeme Swann took four wickets and Monty Panesar three, but fast bowlers Steve Finn and Boyd Rankin again both struggled.
Bell, stand-in captain as Alastair Cook was rested, said: "I thought Swanny did really well and held his nerve - four-for is a great effort and Monty supported him really well.
"It didn't go quite as the pace bowlers would have liked, but, on this kind of wicket, the more pace that was on it, the easier it was to bat against."

Comment number 268. Posted by Hairoon 2 Dec 2013 21:12
Usually at times like this, you expect a senior batsmen with very sound technique and real class to take on the responsibility of the number 3 position.
Comment number 267. Posted by BaggiosPonytailon 2 Dec 2013 20:43
@266 battingforbell
Of the two i'd definitely like Bell to be promoted as he is in form. I think Root has a bright future but he needs to settle into the team and moving him up and down the order is not good for consistency. But it looks like he will be moved anyway.
Comment number 266. Posted by battingforbellon 2 Dec 2013 20:17
Bell is a natural No 3 but overlooked because Flower prefers Root. Flower's dilemma is that Root looks under par as he looked last summer - bar one innings. But he'll choose him anyway. Even though Root's been moved down to 6 due to failings. And this is called management.
Comment number 265. Posted by Hairoon 2 Dec 2013 18:27
England are a bit like Tim Henman. They often win against good opposition but they usually do it the hard way rather than put the other side out of the game/series at the first opportunity. This time they've had lots of warning of the problems given the performances against NZ and Aus in the summer. Personally I think it just shows that there is a soft underbelly to a lot of South African cricket.
Comment number 264. Posted by Avalonon 2 Dec 2013 14:51
@263.Kentbred, In part it shows in the inability to win the first test away, however, its not just that there seems to be a general apathy, its almost like 2005/6 after winning the ashes in the summer of 2005,
@262, I dont know I do think some players get bigged up tobe more than they are, and I'm not sure if Moeen is one of them, we can only pick XI players for the field and 16 for a squad.
Comment number 263. Posted by Bondianon 2 Dec 2013 14:29
@256 Agree complacency is part of the problem. This inability to win the 1st test in an away series highlights that as they seem to need a setback to wake up. If they want to be one of the best teams they have to be on it all the time. The selectors haven't helped with a few poor tour choices and insufficient back up in key areas. However, if they don't lose at Adelaide the series is far from over

It looks wonderful - if they get the characters right it could be fantastic.
One thing I would be concerned about is animations scope to do things they couldn't in a live action show. As tempting as it is, it could take the show way too far away from what Trek is about - I don't want the cast forever running away from giant monsters and ludicrous aliens, it should be a little more adult (not meaning 'edgy') than that.
