Sample Stories from the Wolverine Venture Fund Alumni
Catherine Lee, MBA '08
Product Marketing Manager
Facebook Inc.
The entrepreneurial, venture-investing and leadership skills Catherine Lee acquired through the Zell Lurie Institute have enabled her to thrive in the rapidly growing corporate environment at Facebook and to advance its $10 million strategic seed fund. "The Fund has doubled in size and evolved from a grant program to an incubator program over the past year, so my role as manager has changed," explains Lee, who helped to select and currently oversees a portfolio of 50 emerging companies. "Now we are taking equity positions and starting to manage our holdings." To meet these new management challenges, Lee created a formal mentoring program and recruited angel investors and entrepreneurs to assist her. Two companies already have been acquired. She credits the Michigan Business Challenge and the Wolverine Venture Fund (WVF) for preparing her to become a successful angel-fund manager within a big corporation. "Participating in the business-plan competition enabled me to see things from the entrepreneur's perspective and to get valuable feedback from venture capitalists and faculty," she says. "As a team facilitator for the WVF, I gained experience in leading a team, conducting due diligence and evaluating the performance of portfolio companies. I am applying all these skills to Fund."
Mekhala Vasthare, MBA '02
Director Product Marketing
Mekhala Vasthare rose to the role of Head of Acquisitions Markets for Adwords at Google before becoming a Director of Product Marketing at LinkedIn. She might have worked for a company that has come to be recognized as the world's best search engine and one that has thousands of employees globally, but in her position as group product marketing manager, she played a very entrepreneurial role. "I am intrigued by new ideas and breakthroughs in technology that lead to new business models," she says. "What excites me the most is building businesses based on these ideas and technological advances. In that sense, I consider myself a very entrepreneurial person. One can be entrepreneurial inside a company of any size, e.g., "intrapreneurial," if one can create a platform to experiment with new ideas, incubate promising ones, and develop outstanding ideas into viable, winning businesses." At Google, Vasthare managed a large, diverse ecosystem of partnerships designed to help the company cultivate new customer-acquisition programs. "These partners came from a variety of industries, so understanding the dynamics of the industries in which they operate was critically important to prospecting for partners, evaluating partnership opportunities and developing those opportunities," she explains. Her two-year stint on the Wolverine Venture Fund at the Ross School of Business laid the foundation for much of her subsequent career activities. "It was a tremendous learning experience that gave me real-world insights into the process of evaluating risk and reward, especially with regard to emerging technologies and new business models in early-stage ventures," Vasthare says. "I could not have asked for more. The opportunity to lead a team in analyzing venture-investment opportunities was truly amazing. My post-MBA jobs have involved business development and management of portfolios of alliance partnerships. My experience on the WVF helped me refine my thinking about the design, development and incubation of early-state ventures and ecosystems." Prior to entering the Ross School, Vasthare worked as a software engineer at IBM and as an e-commerce/mobile-commerce consultant. "Since most of my pre-MBA work experience was on the engineering, product-development and technology side of things, I saw business school as an opportunity to broaden my horizons and to develop a more intuitive understanding of the business landscape, especially in industries driven by computing technologies," she says.
Amy Mecozzi Cho, MBA/ MD '07
Emergency Physicians Professional Association
After I enrolled in the School of Medicine at Michigan, I decided to take advantage of a combined MD/MBA program to earn a graduate degree in business. Having previously worked at a venture-funded software start-up company, I was interested in learning more about venture capital and the process of bringing new medical devices to market. Serving for two years as a student board member of the Wolverine Venture Fund provided real-world experience in evaluating and investing in start-ups and monitoring the progress of portfolio companies, as well as access to experienced venture capitalists who shared a wealth of information. I am now better prepared to combine my career as a practicing physician with a part-time role as a venture capitalist, angel investor or consultant in the medical field.
Paul Habibi, MBA '03
Principal and Co-founder
Habibi Properties
I founded my California-based real-estate development and investment firm, Habibi Properties, before I started my MBA program at the Ross School of Businessl in 2001 and worked remotely from Ann Arbor for two years, sourcing deals and capital. Today the company has several hundred thousand square feet of property under ownership and management. My MBA coursework and entrepreneurial experiences gave me a holistic view of business and enabled me to grasp the big picture much quicker. The Ross School was unique because its action-based learning approach allowed me to continue the momentum of working in the business world while pursuing a traditional classroom education. Thus, even though I left the work force to return to school, I was still heavily involved in real-life business ventures. My participation in the Wolverine Venture Fund and Zell Lurie-sponsored activities exposed me to early-stage companies that faced many of the same issues I encountered in starting my own business. I learned how to position a startup for future growth and to avoid pitfalls, such as insufficient capital or an un-scalable business model, that often arise as a company grows. I honed my research and writing skills by analyzing business plans and pitching investment ideas to the WVF advisory board and by competing against other university students at the Venture Capital Investment Competition. Today I utilize these same skills in my business every time I put together a real-estate feasibility study for a proposed multi-family or mixed-use development and make a presentation to prospective investors or city planners. I gained additional hands-on experience through my MAP assignment, which entailed an analysis of the medical-spa industry and the creation of a development plan for a proposed Spa and Wellness Center. In adjunct lecturer Peter Allen's real-estate development class, I learned how to be a socially responsible developer and how to work with people from other disciplines. In fact, I was so inspired that I started teaching courses in real-estate investment analysis and development at UCLA Extension when I returned to Los Angeles. Recently, I was appointed to Lecturer of Real Estate at the UCLA Anderson School of Management, and I have modeled my teaching after many of the excellent professors I had at the University of Michigan.
Michael Johnson, MBA/MD '11, MIC Fellow '12
Flagship Ventures
In July, Michael Johnson, MBA/MD '11, MIC Fellow '12, accepted a new position, in Ann Arbor, as an associate with Flagship Ventures, a venture-capital firm headquartered in Cambridge, Mass. His investment focus centers on opportunities in medical technologies, therapeutics, and sustainability in Michigan and throughout the Midwest. Johnson says the entrepreneurial exposure, training, networking and coaching he received through the Zell Lurie Institute helped to prepare him for the challenges of the highly competitive venture-capital industry.
"Entrepreneurship and investing go together," he explains. As the student managing director of the Wolverine Venture Fund in 2011, Johnson gained hands-on experience in leadership, deal making and co-investing in early-stage companies alongside local venture-capital firms. He sharpened his skill in evaluating new market entry strategies during a MAP assignment with ReCellular and a Marcel Gani internship with Atlas Digital Solutions.
In 2012, Johnson took the entrepreneurial plunge and launched Converge Medical Technologies − a U-M spin-out focused on developing a new brain-function monitor − while he was a Fellow at the U-M Medical Innovation Center. At the 2012 Michigan Business Challenge, the company received $10,000 as runner-up and $2,000 for outstanding presentation. "Working in a new venture has given me a great perspective on the needs of entrepreneurs and start-ups, and the risk involved in a medical device during the course of its development," Johnson says. "Understanding the challenges of entrepreneurship is essential as an investor."
Daniel Bickley, MD/MBA '13
William Davidson Institute Fellow
The Ihangane Project, Rwanda
The small, rural village of Ruli, Rwanda − a two-hour trek from the East African nation's capital city of Kigali − may seem like a rather strange entrepreneurial outpost. But dual-degree student Dan Bickley, MBA/MD '13, found plenty of opportunities to apply his entrepreneurship skills over the summer during his 12-week Global Impact Internship with a nonprofit health-care organization called The Ihangane Project. Bickley, a William Davidson Institute Fellow, was asked to design and implement an improved referral system for the local hospital that would better utilize its limited medical resources and enhance the quality of care for patients. "I didn't have a large team behind me – it was just me and a translator – so I experienced the challenges and rewards of being self-directed," Bickley says. "I had only 12 weeks to do the research, develop a product, and get it to market. That required rapid prototyping, where I had to evaluate solutions to different problems in a quick and dirty way. The hospital network in Rwanda has an entrepreneurial aspect to it as well, so my goal was to make recommendations compelling enough to be adopted quickly by every hospital and health center in the country." Bickley's venture-investing experience with the Wolverine Venture Fund and coursework with Erik Gordon and Tom Kinnear at the Zell Lurie Institute helped to advance his understanding of entrepreneurship and open up new possibilities for translating research advances into marketable products, entering the venture-capital ecosystem, and internally leading changes in the way medical systems function. "We work in an extremely complex medical system, where having an understanding of how businesses and systems function will be necessary to make positive changes in the future," Bickley explains. "Being able to work entrepreneurially − either in your own venture or in a large organization − will be crucial. Having the ability to use limited resources to find new solutions, be it products or ideas, and then convince others of their utility also will be an indispensable skill set." As a next-generation doctor, Bickley sees broad applications for entrepreneurship in the medical field, ranging from the academic physician who is deeply invested in basic science research to the busy private clinician who is seeking to make his or her practice more competitive. "The world of medicine is changing rapidly, so it makes sense to take advantage of the fantastic resource we have in the Zell Lurie Institute to bolster our knowledge and better prepare us for future challenges," Bickley says. "No matter where I end up, I'm confident that I'll be able to apply the valuable lessons I've learned."
Nicholas Douville, MD/PhD '14
The student-led Wolverine Venture Fund (WVF) turned in another strong year, assessing new investment proposals and participating in a $25 million Series D round investment in Sonitus Medical, a medical-device company focused on advanced hearing solutions. Based in San Mateo, Calif., Sonitus has developed a revolutionary prosthetic device that relies on bone conduction to transmit sound via the teeth. This trademarked SoundBite system holds great promise for patients suffering from hearing disorders. The WVF's recent follow-on investment, announced in May, is its second investment in Sonitus since 2011.
Today, the $5.5 million WVF manages a venture-capital investment portfolio of 14 companies across various industries, ranging from telecommunications, digital marketing, and advanced materials to medical devices, environmental services, and biomedical. While Ross School MBA students constitute the majority of the fund's 24-member student management team, the WVF also attracts graduate students from engineering, law, environment, public policy, medicine, and other disciplines.
"There's a great advantage to this interdisciplinary-team approach," says Erik Gordon, the fund's advisor, and the recently appointed director of the Zell Entrepreneurship And Law program at the U-M Law School. "It reflects the fact that the University, as a whole, is becoming much more active in entrepreneurship, and that the Ross School and Zell Lurie Institute are playing a leading role in this campus-wide expansion, which has top-tier support from U-M President Mary Sue Coleman. It's a very cool time for entrepreneurs all over the University."
Nicholas Douville, MD/Ph.D. '14, a doctoral candidate in biomedical engineering, participated on the due-diligence team that vetted the WVF's follow-on investment in Sonitus. "The composition of our team exemplifies the diverse strengths students bring to the due-diligence process," he explains. "We had students with backgrounds in law, finance, and consulting. I brought a background in science and medicine. By leveraging our skill sets, we performed thorough due diligence on the investment opportunity, while learning a great deal from each other. We also had the unique opportunity to interact with the company's chief executive and high-level management. It was a student fund at its very best."
Douville says his past two years on the WVF have filled in some critical gaps by familiarizing him with the nonmedical factors − leadership, management, finances, intellectual property, and timeline to market entry – that are essential for making scientific innovation practical on a larger commercial scale. "Too often, researchers who make discoveries or invent new products lose control over the development of their technologies because they lack commercialization skills," he explains. "The Wolverine Venture Fund has given me insight into how this is done." Douville plans to apply his experience in his future career. "Ideally, I would like to work in an academic medical center with clinical and basic science thrusts, and help to integrate those two aspects," he says.
Gordon anticipates Douville and other fund members will be able to put their venture-investing skill sets into play, regardless of whether they start a company in their garage, become a venture capitalist or take a job in industry. "Every company leader wants people who can spot a valuable opportunity, shape that opportunity into one that is viable, and deal with risk," he says.

Pet Owner in Evergreen
We are looking for someone to watch our dog August 5-11 . We just rescued him this past Saturday July 17 at eight weeks old. He is sleeping all night in his crate, but needs attention during the day for frequent potty breaks and lap time love. Since he's so young we need some special attention for him . Curious if you have availability during this time, if so would he be around other dogs much, and how much you would charge for this service? Thanks so much! Christine M.

Unfortunately as is, it will work on the Apache Hudson but maybe not on other people's Hudsons or local boxes, right? Would the client-side conf be a lot of work?

I made a video log if anyone is interested about how they ended the show and what I would have liked in season 6, given how they wanted to end it.
summary: they opted to leave mysteries mysteries, and that's fine. So many elements are grabbed from forteana anyway, and are unanswerable, this is simply their take on that issue.
Nevertheless, I got the impression from the first three seasons they'd be tying these enigmas into a narrative whole... and though they didn't, it's still quite possible to do so, and speculate how it might have been done. I would have liked season 6, if this was to be about moving on, to be about the Whisperers. Instead of the dead showing up in LAX/FST, they'd have showed up as whisperers on the island, initially thinking they were living, but eventually figuring out they were not, helping the living (as we've seen) and trying to get to the light.
There is the link above, or if it embedss.

Pittsburgh Modular has announced their Patch Box line of modular effects pedals (and Game System). Initially aimed at psychedelic and progressive guitarists, this combination of both modular synthesis and the stomp box paradigm will certainly pique the interest of live-performance-oriented electronic musicians. Our Technology Editor got a first-hand demo of the system at this year's MusikMesse show, and came away quite impressed with the possibilities (as well as Pittsburgh's mind-boggling Game System sequencer – see below. —Ed).
Pittsburgh Modular's Patch Box redefines modular synthesis around the venerable stomp box by creating a Eurorack-compatible, performance platform with a patchable, system designed for experimentation. The Patch Box enclosure can house five modules integrated into a heavy-duty steel chassis with unique functionality not found in current Eurorack offerings.
The Patch Box features a true BYPASS and a preamp with high headroom in addition to a pair of fully-buffered outputs. Custom-engineered soft-limiting circuitry built into the preamp adds character without unwanted noise at higher gain settings. The pre also has dual, buffered outputs to allow for complex signal routing, in addition to patching a single modulation or audio source into two destinations via the patchable signal splitter. Also known as a MULTIPLE, the signal splitter has one input and two outputs, allowing any signal to be routed to two destinations.
Dual, assignable expression pedal INPUTS allow the Patch Box to easily integrate third-party expression pedals anywhere into the signal path to allow for realtime foot control of any voltage-controllable parameter or split the signal from the foot controller to control two parameters at once. (Very cool in action —Ed.) Dual, assignable A/B foot switches — SWITCH 1 and SWITCH 2 — expand signal routing options. Perfect for use as on/off switches or to flip between two signals, the foot switches can be patched up to enable/disable individual modules or route audio and control voltages. Try patching a modulation source, such as an LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) or external expression pedal, through the foot switch to enable or disable the modulation while playing. Patch the outputs of two effects into one of the foot switches to bounce between effects. With two independent, patchable foot switches to play with, there are countless options for realtime signal routing. The last stage of the Patch Box signal path is a master OUTPUT level control. Adjust the output signal level to connect with a wide range of devices.
The Patch Box is available either empty case, or packed with a number of preconfigured Pittsburgh Modular, Dwarfcraft Devices, or other compatible Eurorack-format modules. Dubbed Complete or Core systems, the preconfigs can be tailored to just the sound you're looking for, but thanks to the Eurorack flexibility, modules can be swapped out as you see fit.
Time Box Complete, dubbed by Pittsburgh as "A Modular Exploration of Time and Space," comes complete with a Patch Box enclosure, Analog Replicator (wide-range analogue delay module), Reverb (voltage-controlled digital reverb module), Lopass Gate (integrated lowpass filter, VCA, and lowpass gate module), LFO2 (dual modulation source module), and Multiple (dual passive signal splitter), plus a 12-pack of patch cables from premier Eurorack modular synthesizer accessory specialist Nazca Audio. Alternatively, Time Box Core comprises Patch Box-housed Analog Replicator and LFO2 modules, plus a six-pack of Nazca Audio patch cables. Jerry Garcia would have soiled his pants had he been around to play through this configuration.
Filter Box Complete addresses the modular filtering and signal-crushing downsampling chain via a Patch Box-housed Filter (multimode state variable filter module), Lopass Gate, Crush (analogue downsampling module), Follow (envelope follower module), LFO2, and Multiple, plus a 12-pack of Nazca Audio patch cables. Filter Box Core offers filter sweeps courtesy of a Patch Box-housed Filter, Follow, and LFO2 modules, plus a six-pack of Nazca Audio patch cables.
Phase Box Complete comes complete with a Patch Box enclosure preconfigured with a Phase Shifter (16-stage analogue phase shifter module), Lopass Gate, LFO2, and Multiple, plus a 12-pack of Nazca Audio patch cables. Phase Box Core features a Patch Box- housed Phase Shifter and LFO2 modules, plus a six-pack of Nazca Audio patch cables.
A collaboration with Eau Claire, WI, USA-based handmade effects pedals and synthesizers specialist Dwarfcraft Devices, Dwarf Box Complete leverages their expertise in sonic destruction by partnering up their Big Distortion Sound Machine (parallel distortion module with two distinctly different fuzz flavors) with Pittsburgh Modular's Filter, Chain Reactor (quadraphonic, voltage-influenced chaotic waveform generator), and Toolbox (multi-purpose slew, noise, sample & hold, and inverter) modules in a Patch Box enclosure, plus a 12-pack of Nazca Audio patch cables. The Dwarf Box Core, contains Patch Box- housed Big Distortion Sound Machine and LFO2 modules, plus a six-pack of Nazca Audio patch cables.
Game System Module
Not officially announced, but on display was Pittsburgh's Game System, described as a Probability Gate Sequencer. It's clear that after ingesting a big bag of mushroomsPsilocybin, founders, Richard Nicol and Michael Johnsen, decided that they needed to infuse retro game concepts into a random, yet beat-synced, sequencer design. The unit consists of five different Games, including "Asteroids," controlled by a probability joystick, which modifies the parameters in real-time.
The Joysticks gate parameters can also be controlled by your synth's LFO, so your synth can "play" the sequencer, which is a good thing since the joystick is positioned at the bottom of the unit and it's full use is encumbered by the patch cables above (we would suggest repositioning the Joystick under the Game display for better functionality —Ed). The results are particularly tweaky – think FutureRetro's Zillion – and should appeal to the Bloops 'n' Bleeps crowd. Release of the Game System is reportedly slated for the summer.
The Patch Box will be available in May 2015 for $349. Time Box Complete will be available in June 2015 for $1,199; Time Box Core will be available in May 2015 for $779. Filter Box Complete will be available in June 2015 for $1,149; Filter Box Core will be available in May 2015 for $739. Phase Box Complete will be available in June 2015 for $1,029; Phase Box Core will be available in May 2015 for $799. Dwarf Box Complete will be available in June 2015 for $1,199; Dwarf Box Core will be available in May 2015 for $689.

My husband Ammon loves to find Healthy Meals and he got this one from one of his friends. (Funny they talk food in between studying) – So we gave it a try and it was So GOOD! Addy my little girl also helped by cleaning out the pumpkin.
- 1 medium pumpkin
- 1 lb lean ground turkey
- 2 cups brown rice
- 2 cans condensed cream of chicken soup
- 1 Tablespoon of Olive Oil
- 1 cup of celery
- 1 cup of onions
- 1/2 cup of mushrooms
- 1/2 cup of sweet potatoes
- 2 Tablespoons soy sauce
- Cut off the top of the pumpkin and thoroughly clean out pulp and seeds
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees - Heat Olive Oil in a large skillet and saute the veggetables for about 5 minutes. Remove the vegetables and set aside. Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook until brown. Add the vegetables to the skillet and mix together.
- Add Soy Sauce, soup, and cooked brown rice into the skillet and mix well.
- Spoon Mixture into cleaned pumpkin shell. Replace pumpkin top and place entire pumpkin on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 1 hour or until inside meat of the pumpkin is tender
- After you scoop out the yummy stuff inside, don't forget to scrape out the insides of the pumpkin! It tastes just like Spaghetti Squash!
- Be sure to check the size of your oven to make sure the pumpkin will fit! We bought a pumpkin that was too big and my oven wasn't big enough!

Might as well get this one started.
Things I don't like about the new site:
* The fonts in the thread list are too large. This means that I can't see more than 10-15 threads per screen, and I am working at a pretty high resolution.
* Building on the previous obvservation, there's a lot of wasted space on each page. The site has a sort of kiddy feel to it.
* Use of newer web technology means the page loads noticably slower than simpler websites (like, in 1 second instead of 0.5 seconds).
* I really wish those responsible had gone with a simple, customizable software like Invision or PHPBB. These interfaces are feature-rich and very familiar to many web users.
The new software has the feel of a feature-driven, or "one-way" type website. Chowhound is not a feature-driven website. It has a few published features but it is not a blog. It is a community forum. The new software feels like it marginalizes the community aspect (by making it more awkward to navigate) while pushing the user toward feature content. For example, the site only takes up 75% of the width of my screen (sitting in a centered column), and of that space, perhaps 25% is used by an ad for the "Tale of Two Chowhounds" feature. It would be nice to see the discussion boards without having features pushed so hard.

One of the biggest decisions you'll need to make as an e-commerce business owner is also the one that could make or break your financial freedom.
How you control and distribute the products you sell through your site is a critical choice you have to make during the outset of your business development. In this post, we're going to find out if the dropshipping method can help you attain financial freedom, or if managing the ebb and flow of supply and demand would be better handled internally.
Managing a profitable e-commerce business is a process that requires strategy, resilience, and a fair bit of trial and error. The day-to-day logistics of your business could change dramatically in the first year, depending on how much you learn and how quickly you learn it. Making changes is scary but necessary—and the more you understand about your options, the fewer changes you'll need to make.#Dropship your way to financial freedom by guest blogger Patrick Foster from @myecommercetips #Unify Click To Tweet
For some creative e-commerce business owners such as artists, musicians, and carpenters— dropshipping doesn't come into play. If you make the product you sell in house, you never need to consider wholesalers. However, if you create digital designs for your products but don't manufacture them, a big decision will be how to cost-effectively manage the manufacture and shipping of your orders.

3D printing is a fast-growing industry with many companies capitalizing on this market, and 3D Systems (NYSE:DDD) has been one of the fastest-growing companies in it. But as the 3D printing industry grows, more companies are coming in to fight for a bigger slice of the market share pie. 3D printing is projected to be a $6.5 billion industry by the end of this decade, and this growth of the 3D printing market, which was worth $1.7 billion in 2011, is attracting new players, such as Hewlett-Packard (NYSE:HPQ). But HP's entry isn't the only reason why you should dump shares of 3D Systems. In fact, there are a total of five reasons why the stock is no longer a buy. Let's take a look at them one by one.
Stronger competition: Bigger players such as Hewlett Packard are now making an entry into the 3D printing market. HP's financial strength will be an important factor that will help it establish its footprint in this industry. HP has been extravagant when it comes to R&D expenses that amount to $800 million, and this policy will further help HP to come up with its own 3D printers which can be more cost effective, apart from providing better printing speeds.
Just recently, HP CEO Meg Whitman announced that the company will lay out its 3D printing blueprint in June this year. According to HP executives, sales of 3D printers and associated software and services should increase to $11 billion by 2021 from just $2.2 billion in 2012. Hence, HP is placing a bigger bet on the industry's prospects than analysts.
Patent expiry: This year, many patents related to 3D printing are expiring. This can hamper revenue of 3D systems in terms of royalty fees for patents. Adding insult to injury, many smaller start-up companies are looking to jump onto the 3D printing bandwagon, as such companies could not have afforded the royalty fees earlier and were waiting for the patents to expire. In fact, financial organizations are keen on investing in "disruptive start-up firms" as venture capitalists. One such company is Harbour Capital Group, which is keen to invest in the 3D printing market. This will again lead to higher competition with start-ups being financially backed by venture capitalists.
Unplanned buying spree: 3D Systems has made aggressive investments to acquire other players, and this has led to profitability concerns among investors. 3D Systems has been overgenerous since December last year in buying various companies. In fact, five companies have been bought by 3D Systems during this time frame and recently, it purchased Digital Playspace for an undisclosed amount. Another major acquisition of 3D System's was Xerox's (NYSE:XRX) Oregon-based solid ink engineering and development team for $32.5 million in cash. In addition, Village Systems and Gentle Giant Studios are other companies that 3D Systems has bought.
The problem with these acquisitions is that 3D Systems has acquired too many companies too fast, and integrating them will take time. But, on the other hand, it is also seen that these acquisitions haven't contributed much to 3D Systems' earnings. In fact, in the previous quarter, 3D Systems' earnings grew just 3% year over year. The company is now looking to invest in research and development, which ultimately nullifies the positive effect that the acquisitions were supposed to have.
So, it can be said that in a bid to expand its reach to as many verticals of the 3D printing market as possible, 3D Systems messed up somewhere and now it is looking at organic growth possibilities.
Price and speed: This is the most important constraint that may lead many users and corporations to refrain from embracing 3D printing for their mainstream operations. While price is the most important factor for general consumers, speed plays an important factor in the industrial arena. High prices and low speeds are a major hindrance that would limit the adoption of 3D printing.
Excessive investments might be needed on various research and development activities before a 3D printer with a lower price and a higher speed comes out. This would affect the bottom line of companies such as 3D Systems. On the contrary, companies such as HP, which have a very high R&D budget and a huge cash position, stand to have a better chance of coming out with a low-priced higher speed 3D printer.
Super speed 3D printers: But, it seems that high speed 3D printers, mainly for industrial usage, would soon be in the market. Cincinnati Inc. has partnered with Oak Ridge National Laboratory to produce super fast 3D printers. The projected printing speed can be 200 to 500 times faster than the existing 3D printers and would be capable of printing components that would be 10 times larger. This can create more trouble for 3D Systems going forward.
It looks like 3D Systems' days of dominance will be a thing of the past going forward. The stock has lost a staggering 40% of its value in 2014, and this downward trend looks set to continue if we look at the reasons stated above. In fact, 3D Systems has a short float of 29.5%, which is very high. This indicates that there are many who are betting against the success of 3D Systems, and this could be the case, since the company is facing a lot of headwinds.

BRENDAN TREMBATH: The Government of the South Pacific nation of Tuvalu says a water crisis is likely to last until at least January, when there's more chance of heavy rain. A state of emergency has been declared across the country's nine, drought-stricken islands.
Despite a relief operation by Australia, New Zealand and the Red Cross, water supplies are still severely limited and crops are dying.
New Zealand correspondent Dominique Schwartz reports from Funafuti, the main island of Tuvalu.
(Sound of Hercules engine)
DOMINIQUE SCHWARTZ: The people of Tuvalu still look to the sky for their water. Only now it comes to them via military planes, rather than clouds. I flew into Funafuti on a New Zealand defence force Hercules delivering more water containers and desalination equipment.
Funafuti is the largest of the nine volcanic islands and handful of coral atolls which make up Tuvalu. At 26 square kilometres, it's one of the smallest nations on earth. There was a three minute shower just before we arrived - the first rain in six months, but only enough to splash the dry water tanks next to every home.
MAJOR TERRY MCDONALD: Absolutely. Absolutely. It's still an emergency situation.
DOMINIQUE SCHWARTZ: Major Terry McDonald is heading the New Zealand Defence Force relief operation in Tuvalu. Soldiers have fixed the country's one desalination plant which had not been working to capacity. They've also installed a temporary unit, transported with the help of the Australian air force. Even so, Funafuti's water supply is still only about half of what's needed and is strictly rationed.
MAJOR TERRY MCDONALD: It was and still is pretty dire. The household allocation is 40 litres per household per day. Some households have two people. Some households have 19 people. So when you're talking about small children, older folks, the water allocation is pretty poor.
(Sound of running water)
DOMINIQUE SCHWARTZ: I found Toma Liveti loading a large bucket of water on to his motorcycle at the water distribution point. It has to last his extended family of 11 for a day. He says it's barely enough to cover the basics.
TOMA LIVETI: Drinking and cooking. Our washing and bathing - the sea. Using the sea water.
DOMINIQUE SCHWARTZ: The hospital almost ran out of water. It's now taking just critically ill patients. Preschools have been shut. Other schools may follow. And food crops are dying.
The head of Tuvalu's disaster management committee Pusinelli La'afai says people are traumatised.
PUSINELLI LA'AFAI: Honestly about two weeks ago and the people really in a sense were traumatised. Because they were asking me, asking friends, and people were asking each other where are we going to get our next bucket of water from? We've got to that situation.
DOMINIQUE SCHWARTZ: He concedes that the Tuvaluan government should have acted sooner. That people got complacent. On the island of Nukulaelae the Red Cross delivered two desalination plants in the nick of time. There were just a few buckets of water left for more than 300 residents.
But there's no doubt in the government's mind that the weather is changing. And why.
PUSINELLI LA'AFAI: This is indeed effects of climate change that we are suffering. Because right now, we know this is usually when we can go out. Because rain will be belting and then strong winds will be striking everything around you and it's really unsafe to go out about this time.
People won't enjoy about this October, November, December. It's wet, hurricane season in a sense. Bad weather, really. We haven't had that kind of trend happen in the last five, ten years.
DOMINIQUE SCHWARTZ: The prime minister of Tuvalu is campaigning in the United Nations for legally binding emissions reduction targets for industrialised countries. Tuvaluans are intent on not going down on a sinking island. But their first priority now is ensuring they have water to drink. And the international assistance to build permanent desalination plants on each of their nine islands.
This is Dominique Schwartz for PM.

BRENDAN TREMBATH: The Government of the South Pacific nation of Tuvalu says a water crisis is likely to last until at least January, when there's more chance of heavy rain. A state of emergency has been declared across the country's nine, drought-stricken islands.

He plays for Cushing Academy (Ashburnham, Mass.), where his father, Ray, is a volunteer assistant. That's the same Ray Bourque just voted into the Hall of Fame after a 22-year career as the NHL's top-scoring defenseman.
Capitals general manager George McPhee liked that Chris has been mentored by his father. "Ray was the perfect player," he says.
The Capitals took Chris, 18, a center scheduled to attend Boston University in the fall, well ahead of projection. Because he's only 5-7, 170, he was ranked the 74th best North American skater by the NHL's Central Scouting.
"Our scouts were convinced he wasn't going to get out of the second round," McPhee says.
The young Bourque bears his fangs on the ice, playing on the outer edge of the rule book.
"He's skilled, smart and plays with an edge," McPhee says. "His interview was impressive. There are other small players like (Theo) Fleury and (Brian) Gionta who have had success."
Chris' birth is part of Boston Bruins lore. Public relations director Heidi Holland recalls Ray was in Hartford when his wife went into labor. He threw $200 to a cab driver to get him to Boston for the delivery. He scored a goal in Hartford that night to celebrate the birth.

Ratings for Dr. Stephen F. Carolan
Excellent Doctor, Dr. Carolan will give you his full attention, he will make sure you understand everything and he will answer all your questions. He really makes you feel so comfortable. I would absolutely recommend him to family and friends.
Excellent surgeon and very caring doctor. Dr. Stephen Carolan sits down and gives you his full attention. He answers all your questions clearly. HE is extremely knowledgeable. He has excellent bedside manners that really make you feel comfortable after surgery. Truly the best OBGYN that I have ever seen.
Very intelligent, careful, gentle. He seems to be very kind.
Always been a wonderful Dr. with myself & my Mother. Was with another Dr where my abdominal pains were brushed off. Went to see Dr. Carolan on a recommendation & after exam and tests, he found a tumor the size of a small football which was surgically removed by him. It was benign, but the pain is gone. I trust him & his assistant Patty is amazing as well. They care about you. Even though part of a large practice, you are a person to them, not just a number
I have been seeing Dr. Carolan for 12 years. He got me through 2 pregnancies and one surgery. He is amazing. Kind, gentle, discrete, and what I love the most is he listens to me and what I notice going on with my body. He is helpful and knowledgable. His private life should be kept private. And quite frankly I dont beleive one word of it. I feel bad for him that someone is doing this to him. Highly recommend this wonderful man as a doctor!!
Fabulolus Doctor. I have been using since 1998. Best bedside manner I've ever had from any doctor. He's seen me through 2 difficult pregnancies and inferitility. Always made me feel like he was available.
An experienced doctor and excellent obstetrician. Unfortunately, other doctors in his practice treated me during my pregnancy as did his staff. When I developed GD I was summoned to the office of a nurse, who treated me like some sort of criminal, tossed some reading material at me and dismissed me without once making eye contact. Likewise, the women doctors each wasted no time making snide remarks about my weight, to my face and to others while I was listening. The only sensitive and respectful treatment I got was from Dr. Carolan and the other male doc in his practice. I gave birth to a healthy full term baby, but will never forget how nasty the other doctors were at a time when I was vulnerable and worried about my pregnancy. If you go to this practice, be sure to insist on Dr. Carolan and if you are sensitive about your weight refuse to be seen by the women doctors. His care supercedes their self-righteous judgmental sarcasm.
I saw Dr. Carolan one day because my regular doctor wasn't available. I was so impressed with how wonderful and caring he was that I switched to him. He is a true gentleman and has one of the best bedside manners I have ever seen in a physician. He is far from creepy and his personal life has nothing to do with his ability to practice medicine. I would and have very strongly recommended him to many people. I have yet to meet a doctor without some bogus lawsuit against him/her . He's kept his license for a reason.
I am a 23 year old female who went to Dr. Carolan for a colposcopy. I think its a shame that issues pertaining to his personal life seem to affect his ratings. He was so sweet, caring, and was very comforting to me while I was getting that very invasive and and uncomfortable feeling. He is a fantastic doctor and I am so sad that I was forced to leave him after moving out of state.
very knowledgeable. always professional. the sexual harassment, scandal has nothing to do with his performance as a doctor. i would recommend him to my friends as i have been. Definitely the best OB GYN out there.

PASADENA, Calif. (AP) David Boudia and Thomas Finchum scored a career-high 464.04 points to win the 10-meter synchronized platform title at the U.S. national diving championships Saturday in their final meet before the Beijing Olympics.
Boudia and Finchum earned three 10s and received at least one 9.0 on all six of their dives as temperatures hit the 90s at the Rose Bowl Aquatic Center. The duo from the Indianapolis area are contenders to win a synchro medal in China.
Andrew Brown of Centennial, Colo., and Cole Young of Overland Park, Kan., were second with 339.93.
With Boudia and Finchum opting to compete only in synchro, Nick McCrory won his first national title with a career-high 521.70 points on individual 10-meter.
McCrory, of Chapel Hill, N.C., finished nearly 100 points ahead of David Colturi of Sylvania, Ohio, who had 426.15.
McCrory earned three 10s in the contest, including two on his reverse 3½ tuck and one on his back 2½ with 1½ twists. He is not on the Olympic team.
Nancilea Foster won the women's 3-meter springboard title with 349.35, edging out her Olympic teammate Christina Loukas, who had 340.95.
They were the only two divers to score more than 60 points on all five of their dives. Foster, of Conroe, Texas, earned 76.50 points on her back 2½ pike and her reverse 2½ pike, with Loukas, of Riverwoods, Ill., also scored 76.50 on her reverse 2½.
Olympians Kelci Bryant and Ariel Rittenhouse won their second straight synchronized 3-meter title with 308.10.
Loukas and Amanda Miller were second at 298.20.

Official News : Show has been cancelled. The soon to air season 5 would be the last season consisting of 7 episodes. Very sad news for the fans of the show including myself. This had become one of my fav shows.

I wasn't too sure about this show at first, but I'm so glad I gave it a chance. After the first couple episodes I started to really get into and I flew through the first 3 seasons. Hopefully they keep it going for a while. It's no Friends, but it'll do. I love Matt Le Blanc :D

Not exactly sure why I took so long to comment on this series. It really is wonderful. Not outstanding. Not outlandish and 'shocking' for ratings. No one is killed, there's no obligatory 'boob shot' each episode. This is no HBO series. It's just a solid script, solid performances, solid comedic timing and solid delivery. It's a satirical 'inside look' at the rediculousness of the television industry in LA. And it's warm and cosy and funny and good. It's like hanging out with a great mate and laughing together and one day waking up and realising you're in love. Nothing special happened in particular, but it's just always there and always good. Not for everyone, especially those who need guns, tits and 'Sorkin-esque', unrealistic, fast-paced dialogue. But for those looking for a well delivered light- satire. Look no further. 7.5/10

Fresh and witty. Surprisingly likable from the first episode. Ironically it has a number of British/Irish/Scottish actors in it which is perhaps why it's a little different. Just enough British quips to be quite hilarious at times. This really is a good show & I hope it keeps going for a lot longer.

This is the show that caused people to utter the previously incredible line: "Hey, Matt LeBlanc is a pretty good actor."

Didn't find the pilot great, but once i was over to the next few episodes, i felt that this show could go somewhere. Had to give it time. And i am so glad i did. This show is really funny. Liked the first season and now off to the next ones.

Thought they had cancelled this! So glad they got their act together and are producing another season. This is a sharp, smart, and different kind of sitcom from all the rest. Really good acting, wonderful scripts, and Joey (Matt LeBlanc) has completely redeemed himself and his acting ability with the tongue in cheek storyline of his character. Kudos to the writers of this very funny comedy.

Les Miz on stage
Peter Jordan and the Chung Ying Theatre Company have a tough act to follow. Mr Jordan, a senior drama lecturer at the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, is directing a local production of the Victor Hugo classic, Les Miserables.
But he insists that it will be completely different from British impresario Cameron Mackintosh's celebrated musical version, which toured Hong Kong to packed audiences in 1998.
The lavish show opened in London 20 years ago and has been touring the world ever since.
Mr Jordan says that while the Chung Ying Theatre presentation has music, it is a drama adapted by British writer Jonathan Holloway from Hugo's epic tale of social injustice in 19th-century France.
'Although we have a lot of music, the players do not sing to build up the story,' he said. 'Instead of a large-scale production, we have only nine actors and actresses. I would say that people can come and enjoy a different version.'
Les Miserables, which was published in 1862, tells the story of Jean Valjean, who is sentenced to 19 years imprisonment after stealing a loaf of bread. Valjean commits a minor crime after his release and is hounded by the police inspector, Javert.
Valjean becomes a successful businessman after changing is name. The law is never far behind and he is soon on the run again.
But he finds meaning and love in his life when he adopts Cosette, the illegitimate daughter of one of his factory workers.
Cosette grows up and falls in love with Marius, who is wounded during a student uprising.
Valjean carries Marius to safety through the sewers of Paris. The two lovers are married and Valjean finally reveals the truth about his past.
'It is a great story about tension, frustration, desire, hope, despair, love - all about human nature,' Mr Jordan said, adding that the themes were still relevant.
'Today in Hong Kong, people still face the problem of poverty, which is perhaps even more concentrated as Hong Kong is such a small city,' he said.
Edmond Lo Chi-sun, who plays the role of Valjean, said he is feeling a bit of pressure, 'because I know that many people, including myself, liked the musical version so much.'
The non-profit Chung Ying Theatre Company promotes the dramatic arts.
Les Miserables will run in Cantonese from August 26 to September 4 at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre. Tickets priced from $100 to $160 are available at URBTIX outlets. For enquiries, visit www.chungying.com or call 25216628.

Maytag ranges have both a stove and an oven. The temperature and functionality of the stove and oven are controlled by the electronic range control board. This control board is housed in the upper control panel of the range and contains the clock and oven controls. If the control board is damage or malfunctions, the oven or burners may not function properly, if they function at all. To resume normal operation, you must remove the rear panel of the oven and examine the electronic range control connections. If the connections have not become detached, you must replace the electronic range control.
Things You'll Need
- Screwdriver
- Pliers
Pull the range away from the wall so that the rear is accessible and then unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. It may be necessary to lift the front of the range while pulling if an anti-tip bracket is installed.
Remove the screws surrounding the top-rear panel, behind the control panel of the range. Remove the rear panel.
Examine the electronic range control board for any loose connections. If a wire connector is loose, plug it securely into the rear of the control and then reassemble the range and test it for functionality. If all connections are secure and the Maytag oven and stove don't function, replace the electronic range control.
Remove the screws securing the electronic range control to the control panel. On some models, retaining tabs may be used in place of screws. To release the retaining tabs, twist them with a pair of pliers. Remove the electronic range control.
Place a new electronic range control in position and secure it using the tabs or screws that were removed.
Transfer the wires from the old electronic range control to the new electronic range control.
Replace the top rear panel of the range, plug the range into the outlet and then push the appliance back against the wall.

text: Posted July 8, 2013 Jeff Taylor is a promising player, but lets not get it twisted guys. He is 24 years old, and averaged 6 ppg last season. He still has some potential left, and I feel like he will be a very good role player in the future and a player that every team covets/needs, but he will not be a starter on a playoff team (unless you have stars around him - ala Thunder, Heat, etc). I see him peaking at around Thabo levels with slightly better scoring and rebounding potential. I'm definitely a big fan of him, because I like good 3 and D role players, but don't get carried away.

Chris Fontaine and the Glenden Enterprises #84 NCWTS team are preparing their #84 NCWTS Toyota Tundra truck for the race at Daytona International Speedway on February 18, 2011.
This will be the first time Fontaine has raced in a NCWTS race at Daytona and his second race at the track. It will be his 25th career start in NCWTS.
In 2004, he drove in the i-Power DASH race at Daytona, starting 17th and finishing 15th.
In the last NCWTS race he ran, Chris Fontaine led the October 2010 race at Talladega three times for a total of 15 laps.
It was his first career race at the track and he says he learned a lot there that he can take to Daytona.
"I learned a lot about drafting, a lot about the side draft, who I can work with, who will work with me and when to go to the outside. I learned a lot about the restarts and a lot about coming to pit road at those speedways," Fontaine said, adding, "So, a lot of the things I didn't know and was nervous about, I don't have to be this time so I can concentrate on doing the best that I can do, and concentrate on what is going on instead of worrying. I feel a lot of confidence going into the race and I am really, really looking forward to it."
When asked if running the DASH race in 2004 will help him at the speedway, Fontaine said, "Not really, the car was completely different than a truck and had maybe one third of the horsepower. That was back on the old track. The track is smooth now, and I have a very competative truck."
About his and the teams plans for running the full NCWTS schedule of races this year, Chris Fontaine said, "We are going to take it one race at a time."

You know the drill: 12 year old David falls into a ravine in the woods and
discovers when he wakes up that he's been missing for eight years. He also
discovers that he's hearing voices that seem to come from a mysterious craft
housed in a NASA hangar.
My two cents worth: In a time when all the live action Disney movies seem to be a variant on "I was normal but just discovered I am/have just been mistaken for royalty/merperson/rock star/leprechaun/etc., this movie from the 1980's is a real breath of fresh air.
The scenario, waking up and discovering that everything except you has changed, and knowing you'll be somebody's idea of a guinea pig for the rest of your life, is instantly relatable and creepy, whether you're a kid or an adult. The kid fainting, the change in the two brother's relationship due to the age flop, parents trying to protect their son, government trying to exploit the kid's knowledge, everyone's reactions to the situation are all logical and believable.
And who hasn't wanted a chance to fly a saucer? Having Max, the ship's pilot, be a robot was another stroke of brilliance. So many movies have the aliens flying all the way here to come visit us face to face. But if we send machines to other planets because it's cheaper than going ourselves, why wouldn't they? And having him learn about Earth courtesy of a 12-year-old's TV polluted brain was hysterical.
The movie seems a little dated today; but it's forgivable because, like Back to the Future, it's set so specifically in a certain frame of time (you expect it to look and sound like 1986 because, hey, they keep telling you that's when it is.)
Recommendations: Back to the Future and Big are the two I can think of that are most along these lines.
I had seen this movie on VHS back in the 80's and I now have children
and just watched this movie with them on DVD. The film still has
presence and the special effects are still quite good even considering
they are now near 20 years old. Very impressive and my children are now
complete fans of the movie.
If you have never seen this film, I would recommend it whole-heartedly for the entire family. If it has been sometime since you watched this film I would say check it out, well worth a return visit.
One thing I have to mention is the joy I was receiving just watching my children (ages 4 through 8) experience this movie for the first time. Even after all of the Hi-tech movies they have seen in recent years this movie was still able to capture their attention, hold it and entertain just as well as anything in recent memory (such as Spiderman, Hulk or even Spy Kids).
My children wanted to re-watch it immediately after it ended, it was that good in their (short attention span) minds.
5 out of 5 stars from me and mine.
**Although regarding the DVD transfer, it could have used some extra's, even a trailer from the original film, however there were none, simple menu access and set-up options only, enjoyable none-the-less.
This film is to blame for my over active imagination. Saw it on TV when
i was at school and watched it over and over ever since! Though the
quality of the film was not something i would have noticed when i was
that age, i did notice the amazing special effects (for that era of
cinematographic effects).
The ship design (Steve Austin) is truly inspired (especially when in 'first class manouvre' mode!!) and stylistically has stood the test of time (it could quite easily pass off as futuristic in new films today. Maybe he should have done some more design work(?).
And my favourite character ... 'Al', the big guy at the service station ('Rusty' Pouch), best bit of acting ever!
The flight scenes and the concept of flying in a cool spaceship caught my young mind most of all. As i watched it time and time again, the many other factors proved to play a major part of the film. The music score for one is great and for me has become a critical part of the film (I love the 80's synth!)
All in all, this piece of cinema was very very well thought out, constructed, produced, acted, all fitting together in a film that many films could never achieve.
Go buy it on DVD!
Flight of the Navigator is one of those terrific adventure films for
kids, even after all these years. It also falls into a long line of fun
80s sci-fi/adventure family movies.
Davey (Joey Cramer) goes into the woods looking for his little brother one evening in 1978. When he wakes up after a brief period of unconsciousness, he turns into a scientific marvel. Nothing is as Davey remembers it, but he can't figure out why because he only fell asleep for a brief period.
Davey is told that his parents reported the young boy missing in 1978, the evening that he went searching in the woods for his younger brother, referring to the incident in the past tense because it is 1985. Only Davey is still exactly the same age and everything he was from 1978, while time has passed for everyone else. His little brother is now his big brother (Matt Adler). His parents are old. Everyone is confused and the scientific world find the situation fascinating.
The scientists turn Davey into their personal guinea pig, running tests and probing him and all that junk. And soon they discover, that Davey was abducted. Davey, understandably a confused little kid, can't figure out what's going on and he sure doesn't want to be locked up in some lab where people prod at him all day long and tell him very little. So, he breaks lose, and hops aboard the spaceship that took him through time before. While it is an escape from the scientists and their security (briefly), it also holds the answers to what happened to him. It is also an opportunity for Davey to learn everything from this spaceship. And a kid's movie isn't complete without personifying inanimate objects. The spaceship is essentially controlled by Max, which is like it's CPU, a CPU with a cool sense of humor who likewise tries to learn about human emotions and condition from his passenger, Davey.
Filmed around Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, it is still a cool movie for kids...teenagers...whatever, having a little bit of something for everyone. Great humor, cool special effects, and the like.
For the fist time I saw Flight of The Navigator when I was a kid,
nearly twenty years ago. I remember young soviet kids flocked into the
theaters to see a strange American movie and somehow taped it but too
many time has passed and all these years it was like a rather unclear
distant memory for me, a distant memory of something pretty good and
even beautiful. Since then I was unable to find it and watch it again
and only recently I caught in on a cable TV channel. Despite being
twenty seven years old now I still liked it a lot.
Flight of The Navigator is a very good Sci-fi family movie despite (or some people could say thanks to) it is not as overloaded by the special effects as most of such modern movies. That left enough place not only for pure entertainment bit also for emotions and some pretty nice scenes with rather good dialogs. It the story of an eleven years old boy, who after a strange and quite inexplicable contact with something looked like an alien ship got moved through the time into future several years ago, which passed for him like a couple of hours. In this future he takes an adventure to find an explanation what really happened with him. Flight of The Navigator is a very enjoyable movie for whole family, which deserves much more appreciation than overwhelming majority of recent family movies.
9 out of 10
This movie is an entertaining fantasy, but there's quite a bit more to it just beneath the surface. The protagonist is a 12-y/o kid raised, as most are in Western culture, to be incompetent, overly dependent on adults, and untrusting of his own judgment. When he finds himself aboard an alien spacecraft, he naturally first attempts to transfer that dependency to the robotic pilot Max, which, all-seeing eye and all, represents the omniscient grown-up. As time goes on, though, David begins to realize that: 1) his own interests do not in fact always coincide with Max's, 2)that therefore he must advocate for himself to achieve a favorable outcome, and 3) that he's the one who has to decide just what outcome will best meet his needs. Much unlike most "kid movies," this character shows real growth, and in the end confronts a real moral and personal dilemma. Whether you agree with his choice or not, you have to respect him for what he has become.
In 1978, in Fort Lauderdale, the twelve years old David Freeman (Joey Cramer) goes through the grove to bring his younger brother back home. He slides, falls in a hole and faints. When he wakes up and goes home, eight years have passed and he has not aged. Meanwhile, NASA scientists find a spacecraft near to a fallen electric tower. David is brought to NASA to be studied and soon he realizes that he can communicate with the UFO. He finds out that he was sent to a distant planet in a very high speed and became the navigator of the spacecraft. In his life, he had lost 4.4 hours. On Earth, eight years have passed. This movie is a delightful entertainment, using good special effects and having a very reasonable story. It is a family entertainment, indicated for all ages. Sarah Jessica Parker, famous presently due to the show `From Sex and the City', has a minor participation as a trainee in NASA. My vote is seven.
'Flight of the Navigator' might have been produced in the mid-Eighties
but it certainly hasn't lost it's charm over the last twenty years and
it does stand up well against more recent family film offerings.
The story begins in 1978 with twelve-year-old David Freeman, a happy all-American kid who lives with his loving parents and typically bratty eight-year-old brother Jeff. One night he sets off into the woods to look for Jeff only to be knocked unconscious when he falls from a ravine. When David awakes in what seems like hours later to him, he discovers actually eight years have passed and it is now 1986. Although he is still twelve years old, the world has moved on and even his little brother is older than he is. NASA are very interested in David when his EEG scan reveal readings in the shape of a UFO they have discovered and other scans of the boy result in star charts of distant galaxies being spewed out from the computers. But our hero is determined to return to his family so he breaks free and hides aboard the UFO which holds the key to everything.
Joey Cramer gives a likable performance as David, a boy who enjoys adventures but ultimately just wants to be with his family. I think anyone watching the film would empathise with his character's anger and sense of helplessness when David discovers NASA have no intention of letting him go home. Matt Adler as sixteen-year-old Jeff is another notable actor in the film in the way he depicts his character's uncertainty of dealing with his little big brother and his developing protectiveness towards David. Also, look out for a younger Sarah Jessica Parker.
For those who watched 'Flight of the Navigator' as children in the Eighties, there is definitely a nostalgic feeling to it. However, I think children of present day would still enjoy the film as it has a little of everything and issues raised as still relevant and/or interesting today such as pre-teen crushes, annoying kid brothers, the thrill of following a hero on his 'quest', a fun mentor for the hero (even if it is metallic!) and arrogant scientist-types. It is important to remember that this is a children's film aimed very much at an eight- to twelve-year-old demography so it doesn't delve too deeply but the plot is quite unique, the characters are interesting and it is a film that is well put-together. Certainly one to enjoy with the whole family.
This film stands out as my favourite childhood movie. I have searched
my brain for the name of it for years, even as I remembered full
scenes, extremely detailed. I just couldn't remember the name of the
film. I started renting anything I recognized from when I was young -
and ended up watching some great films (although most were slower than
I remembered them to be). But, finally, I found this, my favourite
film, and I have to say it is just as exciting and cool and exciting as
I remembered (keep in mind, even as a young person, I had a keen eye
for excellence in film :) ). I recommend this film completely.
Enjoy it!
My boys enjoyed this show, and we loved the ship and the happy ending.
I was surprised he did not continue in show biz. I even saw another
movie called Heartland Ghost and I was so excited because I just knew
it was him but it was another actor names Gabrielle Olds that played
Jeff in that show. I wish I could find a current picture or any picture
of Joey Cramer after that movie. Some of his co-stars are still making
great movies. I just hope he is well and happy with his life.
I had three boys and they ran around the house saying Compliance. It was sooo cute. They even loved how the ships voice changed to pee wee's.
After Joey was able to come back to the way things were with his little alien friend, they wondered how he was going to keep his little friend a secret from his parents. I am just glad I was able to raise my boys without having them get on the roof to shoot off fireworks.
I wonder if Joey has any boys and if they have seen their fathers movies. Young people whose parents were actors have a very unique way to know what their parents were like as kids, beside the normal pictures and home movies.

Digital media: founder, Facebook
The biographies of Zuckerberg aren't exactly spilling over with excited stories about the music he loved while a student at Harvard. But it's worth remembering that in, say, February 2004 there were just 650 people registered on Facebook. Today, there are well in excess of 500 million active users, who share everything – including the music they've loved for years, the music they've only just heard and the music they really want to hear next – with their friends. In reality, then, it is Zuckerberg's creation that is driving people towards new music. Of all the time spent on the internet in the US last year, 4.1% was on Google while 11.6% was on Facebook. This has only just begun.
