MIT's self-propelled robot gets up close and personal with pipes of all types.

Leaky gas, water, and oil pipes cause a whole host of problems, from deadly explosions to steady pollution. The blast that killed eight people and razed an East Harlem block in March 2014 is still complicating the lives of residents living near the site, many of whom are still living without basic utilities.
Meanwhile, damaged water pipelines can waste an enormous amount of water in a municipal system without operators knowing there's a problem. The environmental devastation wreaked by broken oil and gas pipelines is obvious, and it's not at all comforting that some states are repairing these ruptures with trash bags and duct tape.
Clearly, an efficient method for detecting and repairing damaged pipelines is overdue. Engineers based out MIT's Mechatronics Research Laboratory have been developing a concept that might fit the bill.

Normally leaks are detected by acoustic sensors above ground, but the MIT team and their partners at King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals have designed a self-propelled robot that will be able scoot around inside the pipes.
PhD student Dimitrios Chatzigeorgiou has been leading the research on this device. "We are already doing tests in pipelines in our lab environment here at MIT," he told me over email. "Real field tests are scheduled for sometime between the coming 12-18 months."
The robotic scout would be designed to scurry along pipelines at speeds of up to three miles per hour. The apparatus is simple, consisting of a small robot that can either be carried along with a liquid current or self-propelled on wheels through gas pipes.
Mounted on the robot is a sensitive membrane, which forms a seal across the width of the pipeline. If it encountered any leaks, the membrane would be tugged in the direction of the rupture, allowing it to pinpoint exactly where a pipeline's weak spots are located, and how serious they are.
This new method could be a significant improvement over other pipeline diagnostics. The hypersensitive membrane would be able to detect leaks that are up to twenty times smaller than what can be picked up by a ground-level acoustic sensor. It can detect leaks that are only one or two millimeters wide.
And here's the prototype. Image: Chatzigeorgiou/MIT
According to Chatzigeorgiou, the robot could eventually be deployed to search pipelines indefinitely. This might reduce the number of unexpected explosions, such as the one in Harlem, and it would provide much better imagining of plastic pipes, which are more impervious to acoustic imaging than metal pipes.
The mobile robot also has the potential to be much less expensive than traditional detection technology. According to Rached Ben-Mansou, one of Chatzigeorgiou's colleagues at King Fahd University, it costs about $2,500 per year to monitor a kilometer of pipeline. "We're hoping this system will be much more affordable," he said in MIT's statement.
It's still early stages, but if this robot really does turn out to be faster, cheaper, and more precise than our current methods of leak detection, it could solve several public safety problems in one fell swoop. And considering that some areas have allowed their repair technology to devolve into makeshift duct tape band-aids, it's good to know that there's something better coming down the pipeline.

Globalization and Labour Markets Deregulation
We present a model consistent with the stylized fact that "rigid Europe" has witnessed higher unemployment and a more compressed wage structure than "flexible America". A distinguishing feature of the present paper is that it endogenises the labour market regulations that account for this divergent experience. We use our political economy model to investigate the policy responses to globalization, i.e. to an increase in international capital mobility. It turns out that labour market institutions are not necessarily scaled down in the course of globalization; rather, the direction of the globalization-induced policy response is determined by the relative strength of the politically active groups.

Afghanistan Security:
Department of Defense Effort to Train Afghan Police Relies on Contractor Personnel to Fill Skill and Resource Gaps

Additional Materials:

(202) 512-7331
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
What GAO Found
U.S. government (USG), non-USG coalition, and DOD contractor personnel perform various roles in the ANP training program. These roles include: (1) serving as advisors and mentors to build ministerial capacity in areas such as financial and human resource management at the Afghan Ministry of Interior; (2) serving as mentors and trainers to develop Afghan commanders abilities to operate training sites and provide training to ANP recruits in areas such as criminal investigation, weapons, survival skills, and physical fitness; and (3) serving as embedded mentors to help deployed ANP units develop civilian policing skills. DOD contractor personnel also provide maintenance, logistics, and security support at training sites.As of November 2011, about 778 USG, non-USG coalition, and DOD contractor personnel provided ANP training and mentoring at 23 NATO-managed sites. Approximately 66 percent of these trainers and mentors were non-USG coalition personnel, 21 percent were USG personnel, and the remaining 13 percent were DOD contractor personnel. In addition, about 2,825 DOD contractor personnel provided maintenance, logistics, and security services at 12 NATO-managed training sites.
After assuming program responsibility from State in 2009, DOD did not assess the advantages or disadvantages of using USG or contractor personnel for the ANP training program and has not assessed the potential impact of transferring responsibilities to USG personnel for the ANP training program since awarding the contract to DynCorp in 2010. Prior to awarding the DynCorp contract, DOD officials considered the use of government personnel to perform the mission and found that the ANP training program did not include any inherently governmental functions. We did not find any additional information in the contract files underlying their decision. DOD policy officials told us that DOD had implicitly approved States previous decision to use contractor personnel when DOD assumed responsibility. DOD officials told us they did not assess the impact of transferring ANP training responsibilities from contractors to USG personnel because USG agencies do not have sufficient personnel with the needed skills in civilian policing available to provide all the trainers and mentors needed by the ANP training program. DOD officials in Washington, D.C., and Afghanistan agreed that contractor personnel were used to fill skill and resource gaps. For that reason, these officials informed us, the ANP training program cannot fulfill its mission without using contractor personnel.
DOD officials reported that they were not aware of any lessons learned from other DOD-led foreign police training programs that directly address the advantages and disadvantages of using USG or contractor personnel to carry out the ANP training program. While we did not identify any such lessons, we reported in March 2009 that the United States lacked sufficient personnel to carry out the ANP training mission. We also identified several reports that focused on broader issues concerning the use of contractor personnel in a wartime environment. For instance, we reported in April 2011 that DOD faces a number of longstanding and systemic challenges that hinder its ability to achieve more successful acquisition outcomes. In addition, the bipartisan Commission on Wartime Contracting in Iraq and Afghanistan reported on deficiencies in several areas of wartime contracting, including competition, management, and enforcement.
Why GAO Did This Study
The U.S. strategy in Afghanistan depends in part on building that countrys capacity to provide for its own security by training and equipping the Afghan National Security Forces, which includes the Afghan National Army and the Afghan National Police (ANP). Since 2002, the United States has allocated over $43 billion to train, equip, and sustain the Afghan National Security Forces, which includes about $14 billion to train, equip, and sustain the ANP. The ANP training program is intended to create and sustain a professionally-led police force that is accountable to the Afghan people and is capable of enforcing laws and maintaining civil order. Currently, U.S., coalition, and Department of Defense (DOD) civilian contractor personnel assist the Afghan Ministry of Interior in training the ANP at 23 North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) training sites and in mentoring ANP units in the field.
From 2002 through 2010, the Department of State (State) was involved in the ANP training program. During this time, State contracted with DynCorp International (DynCorp) to provide police mentors and trainers and to develop and execute the ANP training program. DOD became involved in ANP training in 2004, working in conjunction with State, DynCorp, and others. In 2009, DOD became the lead U.S. agency for helping Afghanistan reform the ANP and the Afghan Ministry of Interior, which oversees the ANP.
In December 2010, DOD awarded DynCorp a new contract for ANP training, mentoring, maintenance, logistics, and security support. The contract has a potential value over $1 billion, if all options are exercised. In a June 2010 report, the Senate Committee on Armed Services expressed concern about problems with the ANP training program, including lapses in oversight and management of the contract that were identified by the DOD and State Inspectors General. In January 2011, Congress required that we report on the use of U.S. government (USG) personnel, rather than contractor personnel, to train the ANP. In response, this report describes (1) the roles and responsibilities of USG and contractor personnel in the ANP training program; (2) the extent to which DOD has assessed (a) the advantages and disadvantages of using USG or contractor personnel for ANP training and (b) the potential impact of transferring responsibilities for ANP training from contractor to USG personnel; and (3) lessons learned from other DOD foreign police training programs that directly relate to the advantages and disadvantages of using USG personnel or contractors.

'Screwed Cubed' Installation Time Lapse
Audio from Sound Clash (18andCounting, Black Spade, and DJ Needles) performance during the opening reception.
Video by collective documentarian, Jacob Elior Berkowitz.
Screwed Cubed is the Screwed Arts Collective's first foray into a fully three-dimensional exhibition and environment. This exhibition takes the viewer/participant into the Collective's unique method of improvisational drawing and on-site, public space making, resulting in an enhanced experience, both physically and visually.
Screwed Cubed utilizes everyday materials – such as duct tape, corrugated metal, styrofoam, cardboard, and various found objects – which pulls the viewer into a world of makeshift three-dimensional forms and a stereoscopic color palette of cyan and red.
In keeping with the tradition established by the Screwed Arts Collective; members Jacob Berkowitz, Christopher Burch, Daniel Burnett, Stan Chisholm, Cheeraz Gormon, Christopher Harris, Daniel Jefferson, Kris Mosby, Jason Spencer, Justin Tolentino, and Bryan Walsh, work day-and-night over a two-week period of time; exploring techniques, cross-pollinating ideas, challenging notions, reflecting the world back onto itself, enhancing conversations by layering them upon one another, and ultimately making a dope-ass piece of work.
Installation process: Friday, June 28, 2013.
All were invited to view the process as it unfolded.
Opening Reception: Friday, July 12, 6:00 - 9:00 p.m.

What happens to your mortgage when you die?
If your parents' home has been paid off, your only obligation if you inherit the property is to pay the property taxes and homeowners insurance until you sell it. But what if your parents left you a mortgage balance along with the property?
While the mortgage is technically not yours unless you are a cosigner, if you don't make the mortgage payments or sell the house, your parent's lender can start foreclosure proceedings, says Jeff Cutter, a CPA and owner of Cutter Financial Group in Falmouth, Mass.
"The conversation about what will happen to the family home is an emotional one that lots of elderly parents don't want to initiate," says Guy Penn, principal and founder of G. M. Penn Wealth Management in O'Fallon, Mo. The time to discuss how to handle your parent's estate is before they pass away, no matter how difficult that conversation might be, says Penn.
Avoid probate
Mike Piershale, president of Piershale Financial Group in Crystal Lake, Ill., says the most important part of estate planning is to avoid probate so the inherited property can transition smoothly and inexpensively to the heirs.
In general, probate is the legal process by which your estate is administered and processed after you pass away. Specifically, it's the legal process of validating the will.
"It can take nine months to a year before [the] heirs own the house if it goes through probate," says Piershale. "Probate taxes can be 6 percent or more of the home's value."
4 property dispersal options
Here are four options to discuss with a financial advisor about how to handle an aging parent's estate before they pass away:
No. 1: Put the property in a trust. Piershale says the best solution for most homeowners is to put the home in a land trust or a revocable trust.
"If your only asset is your house, then a simple land trust will be enough," he says. "A land trust puts the property title into the name of the trust rather than your name. You establish beneficiaries and then when you pass away the property goes directly to your beneficiaries without going through probate."
Even though the property has been put in a trust, the parents still have complete ownership and can sell the property at any time, says Penn.
"A trust is transparent and establishes an orderly process for transferring property which can also prevent the heirs from arguing," says Penn.
Cutter says some homeowners concerned about estate taxes for their heirs may want to establish a "Qualified Personal Residence Trust," which essentially gives your property to your kids now but allows you to live in it for the period of the trust.
No. 2: Sell the home to the kids while living. Cutter says parents can help their kids by selling them the house and then providing a private mortgage paid by the kids to their parents. The parents can benefit from the income from the mortgage payments. "The kids can improve their credit with a good payment history and the parents can gift the down payment money up to the maximum gift tax exclusion of $14,000 per person," he says. "So if a married couple is giving money to a married couple, they can give as much as $56,000 tax-free."
The downside of this, Cutter points out, is that the parents could be kicked out of their home if their kids decide they want to move in or sell it.
No. 3: Deed the home to the kids while living. Parents can also deed their home to their kids prior to their death in order to avoid probate, but Piershale warns that this can be dangerous. "If the kid gets into a car wreck and someone sues them, then your property is subject to lawsuits and liability," he says. "Another obvious issue is the danger of elder abuse because the parents no longer have control over their home."
Signing over the deed to the property won't impact the mortgage, which stays in the parents' name, says Penn.
No. 4: Will the property. While a will is better than no document at all because it establishes your beneficiaries, says Piershale, a basic will won't keep your property from going through probate.
"Even though the court follows the direction of the will, probate takes time and you'll have to pay probate taxes," says Piershale.
If you're underwater on your home or have very little equity, your heirs can decide not to accept their inheritance. In that case, the bank would take the property and sell it to pay off the remaining mortgage balance.
While talking about what to do with the family home usually isn't the most pleasant conversation, it's important to discuss the financial implications of property disbursement with your parents before they pass away.

The grey suit gives you perceived wisdom. Grey does that. You're a young guy and that's what you want. An older guy would wear navy to make himself look younger.
The yellow/blue striped tie will chisel away at the fullness in your face making you look thinner. The colors depict friendliness, trustworthiness, and energy. The blue shirt is a fair canvas to plant the tie on and the black belt/shoes will bring the whole picture back down to earth and allow you to show some respect to your interviewer.

Many thanks for the reply OTC. Can you help me out and tell me what you mean by the back is short? Would moving down a size cause additional problems in the chest?post #2828 of 70202/13/13 at 12:20pmQuote:
I think I meant to say that the back is LONG, not short. Your actual back is shorter than your front. Consider the midline of your shoulders where your traps are. Travelling down the front of your body, there's more total length than going down the back of your body. It's from the erect-ness of your back posture. It's just a straighter line.
The jacket, however, is long in the back because the back part of it is cut for a longer back which you would find on someone with a more "normal" posture. In the pics you can see this. Just notice how the back seems to be longer than the front.
Moving down a size will definitely cause problems in the chest but the rest of it will fit altogether better. Your best bet is to try different brands on if you can to see which fits in the chest, shoulders, etc while needing the least amount of alterations work. Making the chest bigger isn't possible. Making it smaller is VERY work intensive and doesn't guarantee a great result. Shortening the back is more possible than anything involving chest/shoulders.
If you don't have the option of trying jackets on, you may want to go MTM.
The erect-ness in posture and prominence in your chest will make it very difficult and time consuming to find something that fits well off the rack.post #2829 of 70202/13/13 at 12:27pmQuote:Originally Posted by katabatic
This is the E. Zegna Milano suit that I scored at Nordstrom Rack for a song last week. It's reallly comfy - I could get used to this.
The only thing I've had done so far is get the pants hemmed w/1.75" cuffs, and had the left sleeve shortened about 1/4". I'm wearing it with AE Fifth Street boots in these pictures - the trousers keep catching on the boot laces, so either I'm going to need to get shorter laces, or just wear it with shoes instead.
Yeah, look at my shiny head disappear into the lighting! Please ignore the awful things that are happening with my shirt collar.
Is this evidence of shoulders being a touch wide? This is an EU 52. I know if I go down to an EU 50 it will be way too tight at the button.
Finally, attempting to Do The Spoo. This will take some practice, clearly.
The "divot" at your shoulder is probably from tightness across the blades which we can't tell for lack of a picture. It could also be pressed there. Wouldn't go down a size it'll make it worse.post #2830 of 70202/13/13 at 1:35pm

I'm interested in what your suggestions are for this suit (36S J crew factory thompson) and blazer (36S BR tailored). I am 5' 7'', 143 pounds. Neither have been tailored, so the sleeves have to be shortened on both and the suits pants have to be hemmed for less of a break. Neither have been worn or steamed, hence some of the odd wrinkles.
I just noticed that there is this odd wrinkle around the button. I think that appeared because the jacket is slightly pulled to the side. It isn't usually there.
Same reason why there is that odd wrinkle here.
Here you can see how it is pulled to the side/.
Thanks for any feedback on fit/possible alterations.

Thanks - I couldn't get an over-the-shoulder shot of the back worth a damn :) It's actually much, much less noticeable when I don't have my other arm raised trying to take an awkward iPhone photo. I'll try to get a back photo, but I suspect you're right. I'll see how it settles out after a few wearings.post #2832 of 70202/13/13 at 3:14pmQuote:Thanks for all the advice, solid advice.

It shouldn't unless the suppression is occuring in the chest area. When the side seams or center back seam are accessed and taken in, only the back measures p2p change. It can affect the total fit in the chest, however, especially if those seams are overworked. If it didn't change the chest fit when you were wearing it pinned up then the total chest fit should be the same when it's finished.Return HomeBack to Forum: Classic Menswear

What I Liked: The colour schemes. Great premise. Set design for Ortus. Animation itself was above average (aside from inbetweening - average marks there) and quite stunning. Final episode was engaging, and involved one successfully executed twist.
What I Didn't: Where do I start?! The premise wasn't fulfilled. The Gravekeepers were a let-down. First story arc could've been longer and less full of holes. Logic holes in every simple damn arc. Also invoked the "Pistols have Unlimited Bullets" flaw. The Goran Acedemy arc was a superfluous diversion. The OP and ED. Ai was almost entirely static. Final arc could've been shortened by an entire episode, and was ruined by trying to wring out as much empathy and "feels" as possible. Keiji Fujiwara couldn't stop mumbling his lines as Yuri / Julie. We're supposed to believe that God has abandoned the earth... but is still granting wishes like some genie?
Final Verdict: Despite being quite a beautifully-rendered series, Kamisama no Inai Nichiyoubi discards its intriguing premise early on and unfortunately degrades into a pretty but ultimately vapid series about the fantastical adventures of a little girl. If you want the perfect example of style over substance, this is it.
I'd say you pretty much nailed this series in as few words as you could have. One quick comment though is that God didn't abandon the earth, but started granting wishes, the initial one preventing death. Sadly, this still doesn't make anything make more sense...

Our customer reviews for Mercure Hotel Berlin Zentrum
Reviews collected from customers who booked on AccorHotels.com
I stayed at the Mercure Zentrum for a long weekend in September. The temperature was in the high 20's / low 30's, and my room didn't have air conditioning, despite paying extra for a "superior room". The security window only opened a fraction so didn't let in much breeze, while letting in all the outside noise. Wifi worked very intermittently, and when I highlighted this on a couple of occasions the hotel staff asked what floor I was on and just sort of shrugged. Not great considering it's the 21st century, and that I paid extra for the "business service". I was also really surprised that the room keys were actual keys, attached to large plastic key-fobs, rather than the card access that pretty much everywhere has these days. It's common practice here to leave your key at reception as you go out, and request it again when you come back. It felt like it was the 90's again. Worst of all was the huge price-hike for this specific weekend due to Folsom, meaning that the rate was some 50% higher than normal. With that all said, the staff were friendly and the location is good. Just needs bringing up to spec and brought in line with the kind of hotel/services that you'd expect for over EUR200 per night.
Dear FoodieTW, We are glad to read how you liked our good location and our staff. Luckily the weather was on good terms with our district during your visit at the fair. In summer we always like to recommend our bigger and air conditioned privilege-category, since neither our standard- nor our superior-room-category are equipped with an air-conditioning. We do understand that some recommendations and conditions such as leaving the key at the reception and safety-windows, can be taken as a nuisance but please be ensured these recommendations and services are for the sake of our guests. We hope you had a pleasant trip home and hope to welcome you again in our house. With best regard, Mercure Hotel Berlin Zentrum Marianne Skarupke Assistant Manager Customer Care
Good basic hotel, which I have stayed at previously. Standard rooms at least do not have air conditioning, so are very stuffy in a Berlin summer. No problems other times of the year. Young earring bedecked man at check-in was very rude - needs training. Breakfast staff very friendly.
Dear Asarad We thank you for your detailed feedback and the time you invested. Please be assured that we respect your suggestion of take staff friendliness seriously and pay special attention to it. We are looking forward to welcome you again. Kind regards Mercure Hotel Berlin Zentrum
This hotel is in a gay area of Berlin but is not just for gays it is very clean hotel the staff are very helpful indeed they is plenty of shops near bye the tube is only twenty minutes walk away you can get all over Berlin from here
Dear John Thank you for taking the time to rate us. We are very pleased to receive your recommendation. Many Thanks! We are looking forward to welcome you soon. Mercure Hotel Berlin Zentrum Pia England
it's a good hotel and well located. The only thing that is not fantastic is that the room was not perfectly soundproof and in the afternoon there was a child that ran along the hallway for playing and he was annoying
Very Good location a short walk from KaDeWe and the main shopping street. A quite area with easy access to public transport. Breakfast was okay, difficult for the staf to fill up in the peak breakfast time, but they did a good job. Friendly service and nice rooms considering the price. Will stay there again.
Dear Mercure guest What a nice feedback! We are very pleased about it and we want to thank you for your efforts and your kind words. We are looking forward to welcome you soon. Kind regards Mercure Hotel Berlin Zentrum Pia England Assistant Manager Customer Care
I paid for the premium room and in the comments asked for a quiet room, when checking in, this was not possible and our room was on the top floor next to the lift and the noise of the lift mechanism was a little disruptive to our sleep. Breakfast were pretty basic but nice and did the job. All the staff were friendly and efficient and the rooms were cleaned to the same high standard every day. We were overall happy with our stay and would return.
Dear Mercure Guest Thanks for the review of our hotel. We also recommend our superior rooms, these are facing the quiet courtyard and have about 15 square meter. We are looking forward to your return visit. Kind regards Pia England Mercure Hotel Berlin Zentrum (Assistant Manager Customer Care)
I've stayed here before (all the way back to Castor Vine days) and it delivers. The hotel is centrally located in the middle of the gay district with good ubahn connections (2 stations) and is in easy walking distance of KaDaWe and the start of Ku-damm. Rooms are perhaps on the small side (an issue in Berlin) but well appointed and clean. It has everything you need and the brekkers is well worth it to start you off on your day. I asked for a room at the top away from the lift -- this means that you get as much quiet as you can deal with. First floor front with the window open can be a bit noisey with street noise first thing. I'm a returning visitor and will be back again.
Dear Dion We would like to say it was a pleasure having you as our guest and hopefully many more times! We are looking forward to welcome you soon! Kind regards from our whole team Pia England Mercure Hotel Berlin Zentrum
This hotel is a small hotel near the gay district, the zoo and various other places. The rooms are OK, though a little on the small side. No air conditioning on hot days but a small electric fan is available from Reception which is staffed 24 hours a day. Wide range of choices for breakfast, many small restaurants, hotels, bars and other eating places within a short walk of this hotel. "Rent a bicycle" is available from reception.
Dear Mercure Guest Thank you for your feedback. It´s great to hear that you enjoyed your stay in our hotel. In our privilege rooms we do have air conditioning, so we hope to see you soon. Kind regards Pia England Mercure Hotel Berlin Zentrum (Assistant Manager Customer Care)

Cordell Broadus, the son of rapper Snoop Dogg, has been offered a scholarship by UCLA head coach Jim L. Mora.
The Bruins are the first team to offer a scholarship to Broadus, who just finished his freshman year at Diamond Bar High School in Diamond Bar, California.
The 6-2, 185-pounder played on Diamond Bar's freshman team in 2011, seeing time at both wide receiver and defensive back.
New Orleans Saints safety Jonathan Amaya, New England Patriots safety Bret Lockett and Patriots center Ryan Wendell all graduated from the school.
The Bruins already have a rapper's son on their roster. Justin Combs, son of rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs, will be playing football for the team next season.

Why? That's all I want to know.
Not every show is a hit right out of the box. Not everything can be a ratings juggernaut like American Idol, which I personally cannot stand. Sometimes it takes a little time, a little nurturing. However, it seems like more and more often, if a show is not an instant hit, it disappears in a matter of weeks, sometimes less. Drive is the latest casualty, towed to the garage after a mere three episodes (four if you count the premiere as two). I, for one, was really enjoying the show and the ways each character's story fit into the larger puzzle that was slowly being pieced together.
It feels like it was just yesterday that I was writing down my thoughts on the two-night premiere. I really liked the show, almost from the opening credits. It was a fast paced, action packed show that held a lot of promise for the future. It was an ensemble thrill ride that felt natural right at the start; the characters were all introduced in a nice manner, they were easily delineated, they were all interesting. The cast had a great chemistry among themselves, the writers were weaving an interesting story, creating a larger shadow conspiracy flavored with the smaller personal stories of those who entered the race and those who were coerced. The directors laid out a colorful palette of action, nicely shot driving sequences, fights, character interaction — it just gelled so well.
It's all over now. Fox has decided to close shop on yet another Tim Minear series. Something tells me the guy should try shopping his shows elsewhere. Just take a look at the series he has been involved with, besides Drive:
- Standoff – Consulting producer on the short-lived hostage negotiation series that starred Ron Livingston. Sure it wasn't the best series, but it probably deserved better than it got.
- The Inside – Executive producer on this Peter Coyote series about an up and coming FBI profiler. This series held much promise.
- Wonderfalls – Executive producer on this fun, quirky series about a slacker, played by Caroline Dhavernas, who speaks to inanimate objects that usually try to help her do the right thing. This was a lot of fun, canceled before its time.
- Firefly – Executive producer. Here is the big one, the way this was handled by Fox. They aired episodes out of order, pre-empted episodes, and completely mishandled the show from the get go. Fortunately, we got a DVD set of the series and a big screen movie (Serenity). This had all the makings of a great show.
- Angel – Tim Minear held a few different producer-y titles on this one; it was the longest running, although still cut before its time.
Mark down Drive as the latest casualty. Nathan Fillion was great as the centerpiece of the ensemble — he could get down with the action, be a complete badass, and be sensitive and vulnerable, all in the same scene, the perfect anchor. The other characters were also on their way to filling their positions. All of that cut short by Fox's decision not to continue with it.
Shows are not always going to be hits, and it seems to me that Fox is strictly after the big flashy entrance, never willing to give a show the time it may need to grow an audience. The last show I can remember them growing an audience with is The X-Files, but that was long time ago. Ever since then, I have seen show after show get canned after just a few episodes, never to be seen again. Sure, some of them probably didn't deserve getting on the air in the first place, but, as evidenced above, some of them were quality shows which were not given their due.
Trying to figure out why a good show fails is a hard thing to say, outside of the instant jumping on the network for doing the dirty deed. In retrospect, things have to be examined to find out where missteps may have been made. Could they have cut better commercials? Could they have been better placed? Did they put it in the wrong time slot? Cast more "name" actors? Ahh, who knows… All I know is that we are left in the lurch, never to know what was going to happen during this cross country race, never to know what happened to Alex's wife, or how the half-brothers would get along, or the girl with the baby, or any number of stories that were developing.
Thank you, Fox. Thank you very much for canceling yet another show that I was enjoying.

The most awaited Amarnath Yatra is going to start from 2nd July and will continue till 29th August! And the registration process has already been started through the banks authorized by SASB from 29th Feb 2016. But before applying for registration some extra information may be needed about Amarnath Yatra and the process of registration. So through this article we attempt to give you enough information about how to do registration for the Yatra of Baba Barfani in Kashmir.
How to Register
The Shri Amarnath Ji Shrine Board (SASB) takes care of the holy yatra every year. To regulate the pilgrims, Yatra registration is the first step to get the Yatra permit. No pilgrim making the trek on foot is allowed to complete the holy pilgrimage without registration. Helicopter yatra does not require registration but necessary health certificates. Registration is required to verify the age as no one below the age of 13 years or above the age of 75 years and no lady with more than six weeks pregnancy is allowed the trek. Pilgrims with serious health issues cannot be permitted the yatra as the region is located in high altitudes. The cave and the holy route is very sensitive therefore every year only a limited number of people are allowed the yatra.
Steps for Registration
- The Registration and issue of Yatra Permit (YPs) is done on first-come-first-serve basis.
- Every Yatri has to submit an Application Form along with Compulsory Health Certificate (CHC) to obtain Yatra Permit for the Yatra.
- The Formats of the Application Form for Registration and Compulsory Health Certificate (CHC) are available online.
- The Application Form and Compulsory Health Certificate (CHC) is made available free of cost to the Applicant Yatri by the Registration Branches of the Authorized banks.
To apply for the Yatra Permit, the Applicant-Yatri needs to submit the following documents to the Registration Officer:
- Filled-in prescribed Application Form
- Prescribed Compulsory Health Certificate (CHC) issued on or after 10th February 2016 by the Authorized Doctor/ Medical Institution.
- Four passport sized photographs (three for Yatra Permits and one for the Application form).
If the Application Form and CHC are in order, the Registration Officer shall issue a Yatra Permit to the applicant against a payment of 50 INR per Yatra Permit.
Name of Banks for Registration
- The Jammu and Kashmir Bank
- Punjab National Bank
- Yes Bank.
These three banks are the authorized banks to get registration for your Yatra. The Yatra formalities can be done at any of the 432 branches.
How to avoid registration Process
The registration process is a tiring procedure. Pilgrims can avoid the hassle of lengthy queues and long procedures as Yatra by Helicopter solves the hassle of registration. You do not need to fill forms and walk on foot. The swift and hassle free trip by Helicopter takes you to the 'Abode of Lord Shiva' and back. Time and energy will be saved in registration as well as the Yatra. It is very easy to get helicopter services. Only carry the requisite health checkups certificates and you are fit to make your divine Yatra.

Guillermo del Toro Goes 'inSANE' in 2013
Written Saturday, December 11, 2010 By Richard WalkerView author's profile
Guillermo del Toro has just left the stage at this year's VGAs having revealed his new game being made by THQ and Red Faction developer Volition.
It's a "new terror" called 'inSANE' and it won't be out until 2013, amazingly. And that's all there is to tell unfortunately, as Del Toro wasn't forthcoming with any other new info on the project.
We can tell you that it'll form the first part of a trilogy though, and we've also handily embedded the VGA teaser trailer here for your viewing pleasure.

Java 2D Thrust Game
- Status Closed
- Budget $300 - $1500 USD
- Total Bids 10
Project Description
I'm looking for a Java game programmer with good knowledge in Java 2D.
The game shall be a classic arcade game, very similar to the classic Thrust game.
[url removed, login to view]
It's a 2D space game where you fly with a spaceship through a cave.
But, you don't have to implement all the features of that game. The basic game framework is important thou.
It shall be a Java applet game.
I'm interested in getting a base platform in which I can develop the game further on and do extra programming myself.
Therefore, it's important with thourough documentation in the code with Javadoc. It must be written in well written and easy understandable english. Document as much as you can. Preferable, the documentation is so good that it could be used as a tutorial in Java programming.
It's a multiple sprites game, with a huge amount of sprites with parallell movements. It must have collision detection between the sprites and the game area.
The spaceship should be driven by both a back thrust fire and a thrust from below controlled by the up and down keys on the keyboard. The ship direction should be controlled by the left and right arrow keys.
The game area terrain should be vectorbased and it get its values from an array.
Some small standard PHP scripts for the serverside are required, for example for highscore storing. Therefore it's important that you know how to connect Java applets to PHP scripts. The PHP scripts must be able to be located on a Linux web server with Apache.
It's important that it's a Java applet on clientside and PHP on the serverside. No alternatives there.
I would prefer to get it as a Netbeans-project (NetBeans is free for download at: [url removed, login to view] ).
The game code should at least be 95% bug free when I get it.
I will do the graphics design myself.
Payment is made through escrow.
I want all source code and the copyrights for the game.Get free quotes for a project like this

Some 34 kms southwest of Bern, FRIBOURG (Freiburg in German) is one of Switzerland's best-kept secrets. Its winningly attractive medieval Old Town, almost perfectly preserved, is set on a forested peninsula in a meander of the River Sarine. Steep, cobbled streets, bedecked with wrought-iron lamp standards and ornate inn signs, are picturesque and characterful. Six bridges, from medieval wooden fords to lofty modern valley spans, provide woodcut-pretty views back across the town of the old houses piled up together on the slopes.

What Makes Biology Unique? by Ernst Mayr
Book DescriptionThis book, a collection of essays written by the most eminent evolutionary biologist of the twentieth century, explores biology as an autonomous science, offers insights on the history of evolutionary thought, critiques the contributions of philosophy to the science of biology, and comments on several of the major ongoing issues in evolutionary theory. Notably, Mayr explains that Darwin's theory of evolution is actually five separate theories, each with its own history, trajectory and impact. Natural selection is a separate idea from common descent, and from geographic speciation, and so on. A number of the perennial Darwinian controversies may well have been caused by the confounding of the five separate theories into a single composite. Those interested in evolutionary theory, or the philosophy and history of science will find useful ideas in this book, which should appeal to virtually anyone with a broad curiosity about biology.
