awesome model and name :D
Like Carmageddon? Love Wheels of War! The Carnage Council demands it! Racing, vehicular carnage, power-ups, (insane stunts, killing zombies, and upgradeable cars - coming soon), and STATS! There will be powerups/powerdowns, a credits system, upgradeable cars (via armour, offensive, and engine characteristics), checkpoint style racing (i.e, ability to roam), destructible cars, and a stunts system.
We reveal our new car, Optimus Crime, along with a glimpse of ingame action! Development is going steady, and a release of our first alpha is nearing...
Posted by Domipheus on Dec 18th, 2007
Say hello to... Optimus Crime...
Again, GW has put his skills to work and come up with this huge gas guzzler. 'Optimus Crime' will prove a hit to those drivers who like a leisurely drive along the highway, scooping up all who dare try to attempt a head-on attack. It's one hell of a car, best not get in its sights!
Optimus Crime again for those interested in modelling fits into our 6,000 triangle budget for vehicle meshes. The high-poly version, from which we source all normal/bump mapping data, comes in at over 2.5 MILLION triangles. Just getting the render above was tough, as it crashed GWs computer a few times :)
Development of Wheels of War (Alpha 0.1) is coming along very well. We can confirm that come the new year, we will have some exciting news for you all concerning an early release. The package will contain your basic racing structure via checkpoints as you would expect; but also include some other more complex aspects of the game mode. Keep in touch as we
leak release this information periodically to you!
Before we sign off, if you think we are deserving, remember to vote for the Mod of the Year 2007 Awards. Also, on our official website, there is currently a poll on what to name GWs previous car model; so give the site a visit and vote for your favourite name!

Boston Modern Orchestra Project
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (February 2015)
The Boston Modern Orchestra Project (BMOP) is a professional orchestra in Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
It was founded in 1996 by artistic director Gil Rose, with a mission to connect contemporary music and contemporary society. In its first twelve seasons, BMOP performed over 80 concerts of contemporary orchestral music, commissioned more than 20 works and presented over 70 world premieres; released 20 CDs, produced the inaugural Ditson Festival of Contemporary Music with the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston and collaborated to produce performances of contemporary operas including the Opera Unlimited festival of contemporary chamber opera. BMOP performs regularly at Boston's Jordan Hall, and has performed in major venues on both the East and West Coasts of the United States. BMOP has appeared at Tanglewood, the Festival of New American Music (Sacramento, CA), and Music on the Edge (Pittsburgh, PA).
The orchestra has won the ASCAP Award for Adventurous Programming of Orchestral Music[citation needed] and recipient of the John S. Edwards Award for Strongest Commitment to New American Music.[citation needed]
In 2008, BMOP launched its record label, BMOP/sound, with John Harbison's ballet "Ulysses". Its composer-centric releases focus on orchestral works that are otherwise unavailable in recorded form. Its five inaugural releases appeared on the "Best of 2008" lists of The New York Times, The Boston Globe, National Public Radio, Time Out New York, Down Beat magazine, and American Record Guide.[citation needed] BMOP/sound has received two Grammy award nominations: in 2009 for its recording of Charles Fussell's "Wilde" symphony for baritone and orchestra (Sanford Sylvan Best Classical Vocal Performance), and in 2010 for its recording of Derek Bermel's "Voices" for solo clarinet and orchestra (Best Instrumental Soloist Performance with Orchestra). The New York Times proclaimed, "BMOP/sound is an example of everything done right."[1]
BMOP has hosted a Composer in Residence each season since 2000. In recognition of the importance of this position, Meet the Composer and the League of American Orchestras awarded BMOP one of six three-year Music Alive grants for a collaboration with composer Lisa Bielawa.[2]
The New York Times said in 2000: "Mr. Rose and his team filled the music with rich, decisive ensemble colors and magnificent solos. These musicians were rapturous - superb instrumentalists at work and play."[3]

Gidgets Ga Ga
gidgets ga ga bonds the razor edge of alternative rock to a radio-ready pop sensibility. Emerging from the frozen avenues of Chicago, the band generates considerable head via a blazing energy of pulse pounding tempos. Guitarist/vocalist Mick Flores' swirling, kaleidoscopic fretwork accompanies husky, sandpaper vocals. He's supported by Zac Zidron's pillar of rhythm and zealous bass lines and Larry Beers' kinetic drumming, as these three players interlock with assertive chemistry.

Roger-Mark De Souza on Population Growth and Sustainable Development
Feb 05, 2015
Population and the environment are clearly linked, but it's not a simple equation of fewer people = fewer problems. Roger-Mark DeSouza, director of population, environmental security, and resilience for the Wilson Center, draws the line between population and every other important issue currently facing humans — climate change, urban development, global politics, poverty, the gender gap, and more — in this in-depth interview.

Roger-Mark De Souza on Population Growth and Climate Change in Newsweek
Dec 19, 2014
As part of its Silver Bullet series, Newsweek Magazine spoke to Roger-Mark De Souza about population growth and climate change. On the one hand, De Souza told Newsweek, population growth inevitably impacts how vulnerable a community, state, or country is to climate change. And yet, he said, climate policies and initiatives rarely take population issues, like voluntary access to reproductive health services and family planning, into consideration.
World Population is Growing, but the Earth is Not: What is the Key to a Sustainable Future?
Dec 05, 2014
Population growth is speeding toward a number between 10 and 12 billion humans by the end of the century. That rate of growth makes the challenge of building a sustainable future a daunting task. But important research presented in a new book, "World Population and Human Capital in the 21st Century," suggests that population growth projections overlook one crucial variable that could prove to be the ultimate game changer

Granville's Russell Seidell pitches against Utica in a sectional final May 15. Seidell is The Advocate's 2008 Baseball Player of the Year. / Eric George, The Advocate
Recent honorees
2008: Russell Seidell, Granville
2007: Dusty Elk, Heath
2006: Ryan Dunlap, Newark
2005: Chris Hoffer, Lakewood
GRANVILLE -- Being the thinking man that he is, there is a lot that could have come to Russell Seidell's mind when he came up to the plate.
But, being the thinking man that he is, the Granville standout long ago figured out it's best not to think.
"When I start hitting a slow point, that's when I start to overthink or overanalyze," Seidell said. "I just usually try to get something stuck in my head like a song or movie clip so I can't think about my swing plane or where I'm stepping.
"But if I don't think about things, it will be fine. I try to take my mind out of it."
Since Seidell was Granville's valedictorian and is headed to Bucknell next year, that might make taking his mind out of the equation impossible.
Then again, the results insist he's done a fairly good job of doing just that.
One year after hitting .500 with 21 RBI, Seidell topped himself in a brilliant senior year, helping Granville turn its record from 9-17 in 2007 to 17-10 and a district semifinal berth. Seidell hit an impressive .602 with 38 RBI and 26 runs, also going 6-2 with a 1.98 ERA and 61 strikeouts in 60 innings of work. Seidell also didn't strike out this season in 83 at-bats, collecting 50 hits in the process.
For that, Seidell is The Advocate's 2008 Baseball Player of the Year.
"He's got a lot of talent and a lot of brains, but he just continues to work all the time," Granville coach Vince Ghiloni said. "He would go to the batting cage after going 3-for-5. There's not a lot of kids like that out there.
"To have a kid like that is just phenomenal."
The random songs and movie clips to block out thinking theory worked well for Seidell, who leaned on movies such as "Dumb and Dumber" -- perhaps fitting in the role it was used -- and "Spaceballs" and songs like "Bitter Sweet Symphony" from The Verve, "Flagpole Sitter" by Harvey Danger and "What I Got" by Sublime.
But it wasn't the only reason Seidell was an almost impossible out.
He dragged friends who didn't even play baseball into the batting cage to throw batting practice -- in this case, classmate John Brockman, who threw hundreds of curveballs this winter -- and dropped 20 pounds in the offseason to help improve his durability and speed.
Seidell also wasn't content with hitting .500.
"I still felt there was a lot of stuff I could do," Seidel said. "Hitting-wise, I had a little trouble hitting off-speed stuff, so I worked on that a lot.
"You just can't ever be satisfied, I guess. Even after you have a good game, you have to refocus and get ready for the next one. You can't stay on a high or low for very long."
Seidell said he learned that long ago after a series of frustrations while playing for a travel team in Asheville, N.C., when he was 10. He admitted to having a temper at that age and said he learned quickly he played better when he was relaxed.
That stayed with him when his family moved to Granville before his seventh-grade year. The strong competition in the baseball-heavy state of North Carolina helped prepare him for every level of baseball in Ohio. That calming demeanor has been evident throughout his banner career, even when Ghiloni told Seidell he expected a superb season this year.
"I expected that from him, but he expected that from himself," Ghiloni said. "He just played very relaxed. He has confidence, but he's not overconfident or arrogant. He just did a really good job."
That included getting hits in precarious two-strike situations, moments Seidell said he enjoyed most as a hitter.
"Just going up there with a 1-2 count and seeing his out pitch and just ripping it was always great," Seidell said.
That happened often, leaving Seidell with a wealth of memories before he heads to Bucknell. From recording the last out in the Babe Ruth 16-year-old World Series in 2006 as a member of the Licking County Junior Athletics to the hit parade he put together this year, Seidell said he can leave Granville with plenty of smiles.
"It's definitely been fulfilling and nothing but fun for all four years," Seidell said. "If you think about it too much, baseball can beat you up emotionally. I've tried to keep it in perspective, and it's been a lot of fun for me.
"I really look forward to the challenge of getting base hits (in college) and testing my skills as a hitter."

Middle School Students Need Strong Organizational Skills
"How do I help my middle schooler who doesn't write down assignments, hand in reports or turn in papers that need to be signed!?" asked a mom out of frustration with her child's recent behavior. Her daughter, Emily, was a strong student all through elementary school so she wasn't prepared for Emily to fall behind on her work in middle school.
In our center we have a number of middle school students with executive functioning difficulties like Emily child. One great resource is the book Executive Skills in Children and Adolescents, A Practical Guide to Assessment and Intervention by Peg Dawson and Richard Guare. I like Dawson and Guare's definition: " Executive Functioning skills enable us to manage our emotions and monitor our thoughts in order to work efficiently. Simply stated, these skills help us regulate our behavior". This book will gives a good overview of executive functioning. I think the authors' explanation of developmental trends and brain development is wonderful. There is a good discussion of executive functioning skills and how to link assessment to intervention
Another great resource is Gaskins & Pressley's chapter on metacognition in Executive Function in Education, 2007. You can also read my blog article on building metacognition skills. Metacognition is thinking about thinking, and taking control over your thought processes. This is the step missing in most students with executive functioning difficulties.
So, how to help the unorganized middle school student who is "not writing down assignments, not handing in reports, not giving notes to parents that need to be signed or not returning the signed note"? I'll give you an example of a plan that was made between a parent and one of our executive functioning coaches just yesterday.
- First, we created a motivational plan for the student. We needed to figure out something that will make him want to complete the checklist that we were going to give him. So, you need to figure out what that will be for your child, something that you can give to him every week if he completes the checklists that are created for him.
- Once we had the reward system that the parents and the child were happy with, we were able to present the child with the checklist. The first part of the list included the items that needed to be in his backpack and taken to school each morning.
- That second part of the checklist included the items that needed to be taken out of his backpack and handed in once he got to school.
- The next part of the checklist was for things that needed to be in his backpack and taken home each night.
- And finally, the last part of the list was the before-bedtime checklist of things that needed to be in his backpack and ready to go to school the next morning.
- Now the most important part of the system is that the checklist needed to be signed by both the parents and teachers daily.
The reward was given for completing these checklists on a weekly basis. It is important to figure out what percent of the time your child is completing these tasks now. If your child is currently doing these things 50% of the time, make the goal that he complete the task 80% of the time to receive the reward. You want to set the system up to succeed, so we don't want it to be overwhelming. You actually want to make it so your child is earning the reward.
This is important: Set your child up for success by implementing a program that is broken down into steps that are achievable. So, pick one thing that you think your child can do and set that as the first goal. For many of our students, the first goal is just to get the checklist signed.
If the goal is just to have the checklist list signed daily, it means the student doesn't have to have everything in the backpack before they take it to get it signed. The parent and the teacher should reward the child for consistently presenting the checklist for their signature. Then the parent and the teacher, can gently remind the student to either write down assignments that are missing from the worksheet, turn in assignments that are missing, or add any materials to the backpack that should be there and aren't. Once the first goal is achieved consistently you can set the next goal.
Children with executive functioning difficulties need to have tasks broken down into manageable parts. That is the goal (being able to break tasks into small achievable steps) for parents and teachers to set in order to help these children achieve. Generally, students that are not organized tend to become overwhelmed by the prospect of the task ahead. This overwhelmed feeling is what stops them from being able to begin the task. By teaching students how to look at a task and mentally, or physically by making a list, and breaking it down, you are teaching your child executive functioning skills.
We have seen so many children with this area of difficulty that we are currently developing a workbook that parents and children can use together to build the skills. Our Executive Functioning Workbook is available through Amazon.com . The most important message is that children cannot do this alone. Building executive functioning skills need to start with an external structure guided by a coach, who can be a parent or a professional, who helps them consistently review the steps needed and follow them, until the external structure becomes an internal monologue. This internal monologue is metacognition in action. I sometimes tell parents they just need to help their children learn the mantra: "Stop, Think, Plan, Do, Check". We find the first step to be the most difficult. Most children with executive functioning issues go straight to DO without taking time to do the other four for steps. So, if you can help your child STOP, THINK, PLAN and CHECK you will be instilling great executive functioning skills which will help him in school and in life.
Here is an example of a checklist from our Executive Functioning Workbook. This checklist is teaching a child to use his/her planner each day. The important thing to remember is to discuss strategies to make using the checklist successful. That is the Stop, Think, Plan, and Do mantra. Stop: What am I doing? Think: Do I have a checklist for this? Think: Yes, I do, because I want to make sure everything I need from homework tonight gets home. Do: Get out the planner and go down the list.
I hope this helps.

Tracy Macfarlane says:
Can you post an example of what the checklist looks like? How many items are included in each part of the checklist, spacing, etc?
Melissa Mullin, Ph.D. says:
I tried to add a copy of a checklist here, but it couldn't insert it. I added an example on the end of the Help with Organization post. You can make the checklist any size you think will work best with your child.
I hope this helps.

Very stiff grips.

Comments about Nashbar Mountain Lock-On Grips:
These install easily and stay put. They provide good grip but are very hard and uncomfortable. My hands ache after riding these for any period of time. They are still on my bike and it is not an emergency to have them switched out immediately.

By Joe D.
from Schenectady, NY
These handlebar grips are well worth the money as a solid, all-around non-slip grip. I cut off 1" to accommodate bar ends, and even with just one screw they locked fine.
Great Grips
By Michael
from New Hampshire
These grips are great. They are almost sticky to touch and they really grip my gloves well as well as bare hands although I would not recommend using them with out gloves for a long ride because they do not provide any padding, but that is fine because I wear gloves. Overall, they are a great grip and the locking feature is really worth it the grips that these replaced did not lock and were a nightmare.

About Me Casual/ Recreational
I ride a single speed 29er in the city and I stand up and ride and put a lot of pressure on the bars and grips. I struggled with regular grips and tried the hairspray trick which didnt hold. These lock-on grips are perfect and are lightweight. There are two allen screws on each end which hold the grips on very tightly.
So far so good...
By J
from Auburn, ca
Good so far. Simple easy to install and functional. Would prefer my grips to be a bit more plush these are a little rigid but good for the price. Beats trying to get the traditional grips on and off.
Easy on / Easy off Well Made Attractive
By MtnBiker
from Minnesota
I just plain dislike friction fit grips after having to change so many as a bike mech. These went on like a charm, will stay in place, and look "finished" with the wider supplied bar ends. The padding is sparse so padded gloved might be needed. I have not had an oppertunity to test the grips durability.(natch on the ability of this review to remove a typeo in the "cons" section.

Ace Grips (emphasis on grip)
By Slapnuts
from Chicago
A solid set of grips. They seriously lock on to your bar and your hands definitely lock on to the grips. No slip anywhere. Just what I wanted.Not much padding, but if you're wearing gloves, they're perfect. They're totally usable without gloves, but if comfort is your main want, I'd look elsewhere. These are for grippin'

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. And, there's no better time than the present to kick off awareness for breast cancer and to begin taking steps to become more informed about how the disease could affect you, your friends or members of your family.
Fort Lauderdale, Florida (PRWEB) October 23, 2008 -- Last year, over 2.3 million women were diagnosed with breast cancer. Next to skin cancer, it's the second most common killer in women. And, it's not restricted to females. In 2007, over 2,000 cases were diagnosed in men.
Breast cancer is called one of the "silent diseases" because by the time a problem is detected, the disease has already advanced. Most breast cancers start out as "benign" tumors, and represent 80% of all cases and are generally the easiest to treat. "Malignant" tumors are far more serious, and can become "metastatic cancer," damaging other tissues by traveling throughout the body, eventually affecting the bones, lungs, liver or brain.
The most common risk factors for developing breast cancer include: the female gender, advancing age, a personal or family history of cancer and having "breast cancer genes."
Other risk factors, that are directly related to the female hormone, estrogen, include early menarche, delayed first pregnancies, having no children and using hormone replacement therapy.
While there's not much that can be done about age, gender, family and personal history, or the genes one inherits, there are numerous things that can be done to lower the likelihood of being diagnosed with breast cancer. One of the best ways is to increase the consumption of fiber, fresh fruits, and vegetables.

Soon-to-be officially divorced HEIDI KLUM wants another crack at being a model wife!
The 39-year-old German beauty plans to wed her bodyguard boyfriend Martin Kirsten as soon as the ink is dry on her divorce from Seal, say insiders.
"Heidi says if Martin doesn't propose to her by Christmas, she's going to propose herself," revealed a friend. "She says he treats her better than any man she's ever had in her life, and they're planning their future together."
The supermodel married 49-year-old Seal in 2005 and together they have two boys and a girl. In addition, the "Kiss From a Rose" singer adopted Heidi's 8-year-old daughter from a previous relationship.
But the couple's once-solid marriage fractured in January when Heidi told pals she could no longer deal with his explosive temper. She filed for divorce in April and began seeing Kirsten, 45, who's been working security for the family for the past four years.
"When Heidi was at her lowest, Martin told her she had a beautiful spirit and that she deserved to be respected and loved," said the friend.
"Their friendship has blossomed into a wonderful love affair."
But Seal could throw a wrench into Heidi's plans. The bitter singer is demanding 50/50 custody of the children, and that threatens to thwart her goal of a finalized divorce by early next year and a spring wedding to Martin.
Still, Heidi remains optimistic about the future.
Divulged the friend: "She believes he's the guy who's going to make her happy for the rest of her life."

What does a robot feel when it touches something? Little or nothing until now. But with the right sensors, actuators and software, robots can be given the sense of feel or at least the ability to identify different materials by touch.
Researchers at the University of Southern California's Viterbi School of Engineering published a study today in Frontiers in Neurorobotics showing that a specially designed robot can outperform humans in identifying a wide range of natural materials according to their textures, paving the way for advancements in prostheses, personal assistive robots and consumer product testing.
The robot was equipped with a new type of tactile sensor built to mimic the human fingertip. It also used a newly designed algorithm to make decisions about how to explore the outside world by imitating human strategies. Capable of other human sensations, the sensor can also tell where and in which direction forces are applied to the fingertip and even the thermal properties of an object being touched.
Like the human finger, the group's BioTac sensor has a soft, flexible skin over a liquid filling. The skin even has fingerprints on its surface, greatly enhancing its sensitivity to vibration. As the finger slides over a textured surface, the skin vibrates in characteristic ways. These vibrations are detected by a hydrophone inside the bone-like core of the finger. The human finger uses similar vibrations to identify textures, but the robot finger is even more sensitive.
When humans try to identify an object by touch, they use a wide range of exploratory movements based on their prior experience with similar objects. A famous theorem by 18th century mathematician Thomas Bayes describes how decisions might be made from the information obtained during these movements. Until now, however, there was no way to decide which exploratory movement to make next. The article, authored by Professor of Biomedical Engineer

To judge by the reaction of some members of the far-right in America, it would seem that the Pope has hit a nerve. By daring to speak a truth, that many so dearly wish to remain hidden, he has potentially begun the revolution so long sought. For too long the Church has been comfortable to wallow in pomp and wealth while focusing displeasure on the activities of consenting adults in bed.
Catholic parishes across England and Wales have celebrating Peace Sunday this weekend, sharing the 2015 peace message of Pope Francis: 'Slaves no more, but brothers and sisters'.
In the worldwide Catholic Church, the World Day of Migrants and Refugees is celebrated in January each year, having been instituted in 1914 by Pope Pius X. In 2015 it falls on 18 January, which is also the Church's World Peace Day (and for many the first Day of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity).

We've got even more 'Star Wars' goodies for you! Director J.J. Abrams is getting in on the action today with a very special "video selfie" with screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan, wishing fans a happy 'Star Wars' day from the set of 'Star Wars: Episode 7' in London, and he seems to be teasing some additional casting.
'Jurassic Park 4' (now officially titled 'Jurassic World') only just began filming in Hawaii, but life finds a way and Universal is already planning sequels to the upcoming, uh, sequel. (Please read previous sentence in your best Jeff Goldblum voice.) The studio has some pretty big plans for the upcoming film, and those plans involve setting the stage to continue the franchise, if they can.
While summer brings the blockbusters to the movie theaters, there's also plenty of great stuff to look forward to taking home to view on your small screen this may, from action and romance to comedy and horror, and everything in between. Read on for our guide to the best new movies hitting DVD and Blu-ray in May 2014.
Not to be outdone by 'Jem and the Holograms,' Barbie will also be getting her own live-action movie -- but of course homegirl has to one-up the competition, so she's getting a franchise because dream homes and matching pink cars aren't cheap, you know.
Maybe you find yourself listening to the 'Game of Thrones' theme song and thinking it's missing something, and if you're a particularly creative individual, maybe you think that something is farm animals. We've heard many variations on the 'Game of Thrones' theme song, from vintage video game recreations to the kid stars of the show singing it themselves, but believe us, you've never heard anything as weird (and hilarious) as the 'Game of Thrones' theme song when it's sung by goats. Ladies and gentlemen, this is 'Game of Goats.'
Disney is getting ready for Ralph to wreck it again, according to the composer of 'Wreck-It Ralph.' The company is reportedly working on a sequel to their hit animated film, but it may be some time before we see the results, as they're still in the early stages.
It's been a while since we reported anything new about the 'Gremlins' reboot over at Warner Bros., but apparently someone's been feeding the execs over there after midnight because sources say it's not only still happening -- it's been put on the fast track. Hide your Mogwais, the 'Gremlins' are coming.
Although it was recently revealed that 'Star Wars: Episode 7' would begin filming in Morocco this month, Disney Studios chairman Alan Horn has dropped a bit of a surprise on all of us: the film is already shooting. But the even more surprising revelation is that most of the casting is already complete. Say what?
If Hollywood can count on anything, it's nostalgia, which is why it shouldn't be a surprise that there's a 'Goonies' sequel on the way -- yes, even 28 years later. Director Richard Donner is planning to reunite the original cast for a sequel to the cult classic film because Goonies never say die and all that.
In what had become an inevitability at this point with the insanely rising box office numbers, Disney's smash hit animated film 'Frozen' has now become the highest grossing animated film of all time, usurping former crown holder 'Toy Story 3,' which held the title since 2010. And judging by these numbers and the love for the film, it doesn't look like 'Frozen' is going to "Let It Go" so easily.
We've been keeping you guys updated on the status of a new Pee-wee Herman movie courtesy of Pee-wee star and creator Paul Reubens over the course of the last couple of years, but now producer Judd Apatow brings us an update himself.

Backup Exec 2010 correct setup / licencing - Exchange 2010 Cluster on Hyper-V
Hi Guys,
i´ve search across the forums, but did not find a sufficent answer.
We´re planing to migrate to Exchange 2010 and use the setup shown in the attachment 2 times, spread across two locations.
2 x Hyper-V Server as the Host, on each a CAS/HT Server + the 1 DAG Mailbox Servers.
My question is here:
- Does it really make sense to backup the Hyper-V Host, which would require 1 BE Win Agent (No Hyper-V Core)
- Do we need for each Exchange Server a separate Exchange Agent + BE Win Agent?
Any suggestions, answers would be apprecitated.
Comments 1 Comment • Jump to latest comment
Depends how critical it is for you. If you want to backup the host then you have to install the remote agent on it. If you want to backup the vms on this then you have to purchase the hyper v license and that license should be installed on BE server
- Do we need for each Exchange Server a separate Exchange Agent + BE Win Agent?
To backup the exchange you should have exchange license with you. Each exchange server requires a license. The license will be installed on the BE server and remote agent needs to be installed on the exchange server to back it up.

Interactive avatar control means a control mechanism using AI techniques to improve user navigation efficiency as well as visual realism in a 3D virtual environment. This paper reports a novel approach to enhancing intelligent navigation interface with a third-person control mechanism. We use the concept of CT-space roadmap to design a new motion planning algorithm that can generate collision-free motions for the upper-body of an avatar walking in a cluttered virtual environment. We have designed a mechanism to allow motion generation and execution to occur in parallel such that collision-free motions can be generated in real time. We believe that this type of intelligent interface can enhance the efficiency of avatar navigation as well as improve the realism of the generated avatar motions. The same techniques can also be applied to the motion control of humanoid robots to avoid obstacles in real time

Northern Technologies International Corporation Reports Record Sales for Fiscal 2012 MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 20, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Northern Technologies International Corporation (Nasdaq:NTIC) today reported its financial results for fiscal 2012. Highlights of NTIC's financial and operating results include: *NTIC's consolidated net sales increased 16.7% during the fiscal 2012 compared to fiscal 2011. This increase was primarily a result of increased sales made by Zerust Brazil and increased sales of Natur-Tec^® products and ZERUST^® rust and corrosion inhibiting packaging products and services. *Net sales of Natur-Tec^® products increased 84.0% during fiscal 2012 compared to fiscal 2011. *NTIC's consolidated net sales for fiscal 2012 included $4,543,982 of sales made by Zerust Brazil, and of those sales, $2,466,000 in sales were made to the oil and gas industry sector in Brazil. *During fiscal 2010, Zerust Brazil received a Phase 1 contract for an initial implementation of $1.4 million (BRL$ 2.5 million) in ZERUST^® products which was delivered in fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2011.During fiscal 2011, Zerust Brazil signed a Phase 2 contract with Petroleo Brasileiro S.A. (Petrobras) to supply $2.4 million (BRL$ 4.21 million) in ZERUST® products.During fiscal 2012, Petrobras expanded this Phase 2 contract to supply an additional $657,000 (BRL$ 1.15 million) in ZERUST® products, bringing the total Phase 2 contract value to $3.1 million (BRL$ 5.36 million) in ZERUST® products.During early fiscal 2013, Zerust Brazil signed a Phase 3 contract with Petrobras to supply $3.7 million (BRL$ 7.5 million) in ZERUST^® products. *Income provided by NTIC's joint venture operations decreased 13.1% or $1,523,515 to $10,142,707 for fiscal 2012, compared to $11,666,222 for the same respective prior fiscal year periods.These decreases were due in part to a 6.2% decrease in total net sales of NTIC's joint ventures to $111,830,961 during fiscal 2012 compared to $119,276,553 for fiscal 2011 and a $452,500 loss associated with the disposal of the Polymer Energy facility in India. *Net income attributable to NTIC decreased 11.6% to $3,448,196, or $0.78 per diluted common share, for fiscal 2012 compared to $3,900,120, or $0.89 per diluted common share, for fiscal 2011. "The March 2012 delivery of over $3 million in ZERUST^® products to Petrobras represented the single largest delivery to a customer in NTIC's history, and given the $3.7 million Phase 3 contract entered into in October 2013 we are confident of the expansion of ZERUST^® technologies at Petrobras in the future. Furthermore, in addition to this continued success in Brazil, after winning two technology innovation awards from NACE, we are seeing increased interest in our storage tank protection and long-term preservation solutions in the United States. At the same time, we are pleased with the healthy sales growth of ZERUST^® products in North America during fiscal 2012 compared to fiscal 2011.Strong sales and earnings growth of industrial ZERUST^® products from other regions, however, have eluded us as the ongoing sovereign debt crises in various European countries have adversely affected the European economies and the value of the EURO and the currency values of other key supplier countries like China and India. We are being exceptionally cautious as we watch for firm signs of industrial recovery in Europe and worldwide." said G. Patrick Lynch, President and Chief Executive Officer of NTIC. During fiscal 2012, 92% of NTIC's consolidated net sales were derived from sales of ZERUST^® products and services, which increased 13.1% to $20,971,275 during fiscal 2012 compared to $18,542,523 during fiscal 2011 due to increased demand from existing customers and the addition of new customers. 7.9% of NTIC's consolidated net sales were derived from sales of Natur-Tec^® products compared to 5.0% during fiscal 2011.Net sales of Natur-Tec^® products increased 84.0% during fiscal 2012 compared to fiscal 2011.This increase was due to increased sales to Natur-Tec^® distributors in the United States. "We have continued to see tremendous opportunities for finished bioplastic products and have continued to strengthen and expand our North American distribution network for finished Natur-Tec® bioplastic products. At the same time, an iconic U.S. brand has continued to expand the implementation of Natur-Tec® bioplastic packaging across more segments of their supply chain as they source finished products from India and other countries in south Asia. Furthermore, while the Italian government has delayed the broader enforcement of its ban on non-biodegradable plastic supermarket bags until the end of 2012, based upon recent market feedback and the receipt of an initial volume order, we remain optimistic about this region and still expect sales to this region to increase starting in second quarter of fiscal 2013," said G. Patrick Lynch, President and Chief Executive Officer of NTIC. NTIC's equity in income of joint ventures decreased 0.3% to $5,519,795 during fiscal 2012 compared to $5,536,243 during fiscal 2011. During fiscal 2012, the shareholders of NTIC's joint venture in India, Harita NTI Limited, waived past due fees for services from both fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2012 in the aggregate amount of $985,204.Since the waiver of fees was taken by all shareholders mutually, such action did not directly impact the earnings of either NTIC or HNTI.However, as a result of such action, NTIC recognized a reversal of fees for services provided to joint ventures of $492,602 and a corresponding increase in equity in income of joint ventures during fiscal 2012.The primary purpose of the waiver of fees was to strengthen HNTI's working capital going forward.In addition, in fiscal 2012, HNTI experienced write downs of an aggregate of $905,000 related to the write down to market value of a Polymer Energy unit that HNTI was previously attempting to sell.As a result, during fiscal 2012, NTIC absorbed 50% of this loss and, accordingly, recognized a decrease in equity in income of $452,500 during fiscal 2012. NTIC recognized a 24.6% decrease in fees for services provided to joint ventures during fiscal 2012 compared to fiscal 2011.This decrease was primarily a result of the waiver of fees by the shareholders of HNTI as described previously and a 6.2% decrease in total net sales of NTIC's joint ventures to $111,830,961 during fiscal 2012 compared to $119,276,553 for fiscal 2011.Total net sales of NTIC's joint ventures were adversely affected in part by the European sovereign debt crises, which NTIC believes adversely affected the net sales of NTIC's European joint ventures as well as certain of NTIC's other non-European joint ventures, and the weakening of the EURO and other currencies compared to the U.S. dollar. NTIC's total operating expenses increased slightly 0.2% or $27,134 to $13,825,806 during fiscal 2012 compared to $13,798,672 for fiscal 2011 primarily as a result of an increase in selling expenses, general and administrative expenses and expenses incurred in support of joint ventures, partially offset by decreases in research and development expenses, and reflected NTIC's efforts to hold expenses stable given the uncertainties in the global economy. NTIC expenses all costs related to product research and development as incurred. NTIC incurred $3,875,581 and $4,364,109 of expense during fiscal 2012 and 2011, respectively, in connection with its research and development activities. These represent net amounts after being reduced by reimbursements related to certain research and development contracts.Such reimbursements totaled $365,940 and $219,175 for fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2011, respectively.NTIC anticipates that it will spend between $3,500,000 and $3,800,000 in total during fiscal 2013 on research and development activities related to its new technologies.This estimate is a net range after being reduced by anticipated reimbursements related to certain research and development contracts. Net income attributable to NTIC decreased 11.6% to $3,448,196, or $0.78 per diluted common share, for fiscal 2012 compared to $3,900,120, or $0.89 per diluted common share, for fiscal 2011.This decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in income from NTIC's joint ventures, partially offset by increased sales and earnings of NTIC's North American businesses as well as an increase in sales and earnings of NTIC's subsidiary in Brazil .NTIC anticipates that its quarterly net income will remain subject to significant volatility primarily due to the financial performance of its joint ventures and sales of its ZERUST^® products and services into the oil and gas industry and Natur-Tec^® bioplastics products, which sales fluctuate more on a quarterly basis than the traditional ZERUST^® business NTIC's working capital was $10,546,163 as of August 31, 2012, including $4,137,547 in cash and cash equivalents compared to $9,085,748 as of August 31, 2011, including $3,266,362 in cash and cash equivalents.With respect to NTIC's joint venture operations, dividends received from joint ventures are reflected in NTIC's cash flows from investing activities and not cash flows from operating activities.Accordingly, NTIC's cash flows from investing activities are typically positive while its cash flows from operating activities are typically negative.Of the $1,351,468 of net cash provided by investing activities during fiscal 2012, $3,060,545 was from dividends received from joint ventures. Outlook For the fiscal year ending August 31, 2013, NTIC expects its net sales to range between $27.0 million and $28 million, inclusive of sales made by NTIC's majority-owned subsidiary in Brazil, and expects net income of between $4.4 million to $4.7 million, or between $1.00 and $1.05 per diluted share. Conference Call and Webcast NTIC will host a conference call today at 8:00 a.m. Central Standard Time to review its results of operations for fiscal 2012 and future outlook, followed by a question and answer session. The conference call will be available to interested parties through a live audio webcast available through NTIC's website at www.ntic.com or http://ir.ntic.com/events.cfm where the webcast will be archived and accessible for at least 12 months.The dial-in number for the conference call is (877) 670-9779 and the confirmation code is 70267468.

Do you hear that? That's the sound of an army of eager fanboys getting their wallets ready for the Nokia Lumia 900 on AT&T. So far we've heard that the current launch date could be either April 8th or April 22nd, with no evidence to discount the other…until now that is.
WPCentral received a tip earlier today from a reader who claims to have gotten his hands on both the black and cyan in-store demo units (seen below). They also spoke to the AT&T representative, who was using a phone for himself and revealed that the device's launch should be April 9th. WPCentral also claims that they've received more tips from AT&T employees and managers corroborating that the device is indeed slated for an April 8th launch online followed by a retail launch on the 9th.
Meanwhile we've also learned that the Lumia 900 was supposed to launch on March 18th thanks to new evidence discovered. ZDNet's Mary Jo Foley shared a small screenshot of an internal roadmap from December 2011 showing that Microsoft had plans to begin TV advertisements as well as paid digital marketing on the rumored date. So it looks like there really was some kind of delay that has pushed it back to the dates we're hearing about now.
It is a little peculiar that a Windows Phone flagship is launching on Easter which is why we're still a bit skeptical about the date. However the evidence seems to be in favor of that date right now and AT&T has a tradition of launching devices on the second or fourth Sundays of a month so it's all beginning to add up.

Hater's Guide to the Modern-Day Super Bowl (Part II)
Editor's Note: This is Part 2-of-2 of Patrick Cannon's "Hater's Guide to the Modern-Day Super Bowl." Read Part I here.
The venue – When you play in New Orleans, the lights go out. When you play in New York, the commute sucks, and weather is the story. No disaster so far from Arizona, but I am fully expecting the retractable field at University of Phoenix Stadium to malfunction and force the game to be played in an empty parking lot. Actually, I'm rooting for this.
The fans at the game – Patriots fans have been diagnosed with something called "Super Bowl fatigue" resulting in tickets this year falling to the lowest price in five years (approximately $2,800 per seat).
The average NFL fan cannot afford to attend the Super Bowl. I'm sure that about 10% of people who attend the game are good old-fashioned folks who saved up or sold their first-born for a ticket, but for the most part the people in the stands are corporate folks who haven't seen the outside of a club-level seat in their lives. This results in a game day atmosphere more similar to Thursday at Augusta than the most important NFL game of the year.
Celebrities – We don't care who they are rooting for, but NBC believes we do. They are already crushing life in every conceivable way. Does their team really need to win the Super Bowl on top of it all? This year it will be the Chris Pratts versus the Ben Afflecks. Unless they show up in character as Burt Macklin and Fred O'Bannion, respectively, I do not want to see them on Sunday.
Kickoff time – 6:30PM EST. Just the right time for all the children of the East Coast to throw tantrums simultaneously as the fourth quarter begins. Throw in the fact that the game will take a cool five hours to play and you can expect to get in bed around midnight.
The Super Bowl should be played on Saturday night.
The game itself – At least the game isn't on Fox this year, otherwise half the camera angles would be drone-operated, plaguing the entire nation with motion sickness. It's only a matter of time before they are strapping GoPros to every player, ref, and pylon.
The Super Bowl always seems like a copy of the game it is meant to be. There are too many TV timeouts and needless delays. Rarely does the excitement seem as genuine as it does during the rest of the playoffs and by the time the confetti drops America is ready to tap out.
The announcers – We could do worse than Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth, who sound like John Madden and Howard Cosell compared to most announcers from other networks. However, the reason I hate the Super Bowl announcers is because they always broadcast as though they just walked out of a week-long brainwashing session in Roger Goodell's basement.
You will never hear one controversial statement or critique of the NFL, only adoration. A bit of grandstanding is to be expected on such a global platform, but I hate the feeling that the announcers are being prodded to sanctify the NFL.
There is also no excitement from the announcers. Until they can find a way to combine Mike Turico and Gus Johnson, we are stuck with emotionless NFL puppets.
BUT, who cares about the announcers because you'll be at a Super Bowl Party – the worst place imaginable to actually enjoy a football game. Your annual cast of characters includes: people who haven't watched a game all season, children, a vegan who is judging you, drunk guy, struggling comedian guy, "we need more pizza" guy, the angry gambler, the person who comments on every commercial, two girls debating which quarterback is cuter, and so many more people who want to do anything other than actually watch the game.
With all that said, the one thing I hate more than the Super Bowl is the day after the Super Bowl. Not because of the heartburn, the grease-stained shirt, or the Tom Brady Disney World commercial; it's because even the most insufferable of NFL Sundays beats a Sunday without football, and for all the next 27 weeks that's what we face. The thought of a return to Sundays at the Farmer's Market and Home Depot sends a shiver up my spine. Oh well, at least we are all undefeated on Monday.
