I wanted to make shure that I dont't bang my head against a digital wall by using this coding approach. So, I wanted to ask you guys for opinion.
I wrote a simple NXT remote controll, that is executed on a pc and communicates via bluetooth with the NXT.
I need direct access to the NXTs Motors, so I wanted to use the LCP approach.
this is the methode that seems to be producing an exception:
Code: Select all
private void connect() {
try {
remoteNxt = new RemoteNXT("00:16:53:00:BE:3A", Bluetooth.getConnector());
} catch (IOException ex) {
System.out.println("no connection established");
System.out.println("connection successful");
System.out.println("#test# remote brick name: " + remoteNxt.getBrickName());
and here is the exceptions stacktrace:
Code: Select all
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: lejos.nxt.NXT.getUserPages()I

Any suggestions to why this fails? Or is there a problem with my approach?

Rockies aren't in active talks about Stubbs
Other clubs are interested in outfielder, and things could heat up next week
By Thomas Harding / MLB.com
DENVER -- The Mariners, who are seeking a right-handed bat as they try to keep pace in the American League postseason race, have shown interest in Rockies outfielder Drew Stubbs. However, multiple Major League sources said Thursday the Rockies are not in active talks with any club about Stubbs.
FOX Sports reported that the Rockies were not sure if they wanted to give up Stubbs, who is having a strong year (.297, .335 OBP, 10 homers, 27 RBIs, 11 stolen bases). The sources told MLB.com that nothing is brewing regarding Stubbs, but things could heat up closer to next Thursday's non-waiver Trade Deadline. The sources said the Rockies, who are 19 games below .500, are more apt to listen on Stubbs or any other player if the other club offers young pitching under club control.
Stubbs, 29, is making $4.1 million this year as a second-year arbitration player and has built his trade value because of spikes in his batting average and on-base percentage. The one concern opposing scouts have is the dramatic split between his numbers at home (.351/.379/.619) and on the road (.229/.277/.343).
The Rockies are believed to be listening on Stubbs, who is part of a deep outfield, veteran reliever LaTroy Hawkins, who has improved as the year has progressed and is healthy and effective at age 41, and left-hander Jorge De La Rosa.
De La Rosa bears watching, since he has high value to the Rockies. He is 42-14 (.750) all time at Coors Field. Since 2008, only Zack Greinke at 57-16 (.781) -- which includes multiple home parks -- has a higher home winning percentage. If the Rockies don't deal De La Rosa, a free agent after this season, they're giving serious consideration to making a qualifying offer to either retain him or at least receive Draft-pick compensation if he were to leave. De La Rosa, 33, has expressed interest in re-signing with the Rockies.
As MLB.com reported earlier this month, the Rockies would need young pitching from the Orioles -- the team most heavily connected to De La Rosa -- to make a trade. The Rockies like Colorado high school product and young Orioles pitcher Kevin Gausman, but he was considered off limits last year and the club has shown no interest in dealing him. Other O's Minor Leaguers the Rockies are interested in are lefty Tim Berry at Double-A Bowie, 2013 top pick Hunter Harvey at Class A Delmarva, and right-handers Mike Wright and Tyler Wilson at Triple-A Norfolk.

Where's burnings and visconti?
Treasury Department Reports $3 Billion Budget Surplus In January, Shrinking Deficit
The federal government reported a rare surplus for January and is on track to run the lowest annual deficit since President Barack Obama took office.
The Treasury Department said Tuesday that the government took in a surplus of $2.9 billion in January, helped by nearly $9 billion more in Social Security taxes. Last month Congress and the White House allowed a temporary cut in Social Security taxes to expire.
The monthly surplus was the first since September.
Through the first four months of the 2013 budget year, the deficit has grown $290.4 billion. That's nearly $60 billion lower than the same period a year ago.
Revenue through those four months is 12.4 percent higher compared with the same period last year, while spending has grown only 3.5 percent.
The budget year began on Oct. 1.
The Congressional Budget Office forecasts that the deficit will total $845 billion when the budget year ends on Sept. 30. If correct, that would be first time the government has run annual deficit below $1 trillion since 2008.
The deficit is the amount the government must borrow when its expenses exceed its revenue. Each month's deficit is volatile and can be affected by calendar quirks that shift government spending or revenue from one month to another.
The annual deficit is projected to be smaller this year because the government is collecting more revenue this year, mainly because of faster job growth and higher taxes.
At the same time, the government is spending less on some programs. That's in part because of spending cuts that were enacted under a 2011 agreement to raise the federal borrowing limit. Also, the improved economy has reduced demand for unemployment benefits and some other government programs.
Last year, the economy grew at a modest 2.2 percent and generated an average of about 180,000 jobs a month. Stronger job growth is forecast for this year

Are these what you call Crinoids?
Thanks for that Mike. I had an idea they were but needed to be sure because some of my Fossils might be loaned to a local Primary School.
Hi Ash - these are the columnals that make up the crinoid stem. Where did you find them? I recognise the cogwheel pattern and am interested. If you would like to know more about how we describe crinoid columnals please see Fig. 2 on page 50 [ probably more information than you want!].
Scripta Geologica, 136 (January 2008) F.E. Fearnhead: Towards a systematic standard approach to describing fossil crinoids, illustrated by the redescription of a Scottish Silurian Pisocrinus de Koninck
Fiona. All my Fossils have been found on Hornsea south Beach, and the Crinoids were found on the Foreshore.
Thanks for the added information it might come in handy , oh and if you want any more shots, higher magnification that's no problem.
Hi Ash - I contacted Prof. S. K. Donovan a crinoid expert in Naturalis Museum, Leiden, The Netherlands who assumes them to be ?Carboniferous crinoids. Although the rocks in Hornsea were formed during the Pleistocene, the features on your columnals are more characteristic of Carboniferous crinoids. I have seen this type of morphology on Silurian crinoids, however, there are no Silurian rocks exposed here, so Carboniferous seems likely.
For more information:
"The cliffs are dominated by deposits of till and boulder clays deposited during the Devensian glaciation period (Pleistocene age). Within these deposits, you will find many erratics, and it is these that contain the Jurassic, Carboniferous and Cretaceous fossils " [http://www.hornsea.ukfossils.co.uk/geology-guide.asp]
I hope this is helpful,
All the best,
Hi Fiona. Thanks for all this detailed information on the Crinoids, it will be very useful. Yes the cliffs here on Hornsea south beach erode very fast and i never know what i'll find next, unlike the north beach cliffs which have'nt eroded since the eighties.
Thanks again.
Your'e welcome, exciting time of exploration, have fun Ash,

House of Representatives Plans To Go Carbon Neutral
WASHINGTON - A new report details plans to move the U.S. House of Representatives to carbon-neutral operation by the end of 2008, to reduce energy consumption in House facilities by 50% from 2006 levels by 2017, and to "make House operations a model of sustainability."
The initiative, headed by Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D""CA) and Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D""MD), calls for the House to achieve carbon neutrality by purchasing electricity from renewable sources, purchasing carbon offsets on the Chicago Climate Exchange, and switching the fuel for the Capitol power plant from coal to natural gas.
The funding for these steps is outlined in an appropriations bill passed by the House and currently making its way through the Senate. In addition to these steps, the report outlines strategies for reducing energy consumption in the House by using more energy-efficient equipment in buildings and improving the efficiency of the Capitol power plant; legislation to fund these actions has yet to be introduced.
The full report is available at www.speaker.gov (click on "greening the capitol").

Suffolk/Essex: Jobs saved as Sports Direct acquires Republic stores
PUBLISHED: 17:12 28 February 2013 | UPDATED: 17:41 28 February 2013
MORE than 2,100 jobs, including nearly 50 in Suffolk and north Essex, have been saved at fashion retailer Republic after the sale by its administrators of 116 stores to Sports Direct International.
The Sports World group, founded by Newcastle United FC owner Mike Ashley, has also taken over the stock, along with the group's head office in Leeds and its websites and brands SoulCal, Fabric and Crafted.
The deal, the value of which has not been disclosed, comes after Republic called in administrators from Ernst & Young earlier this month.
Administrator Hunter Kelly said: "In what has been a very challenging time and volatile climate for retailers, it is particularly pleasing to have completed the successful sale of Republic, saving 2,100 jobs across the UK high street and at its Leeds-based headquarters.
"The brand Republic is well-recognised and well-respected by customers for offering quality, high-fashion goods and it is a testament to its strength that Sports Direct has made this investment to secure its future and high street presence."
Among the Republic stores saved are those in Ipswich (which has 12 employees), Colchester (23) and Chelmsford (14). The only branches not transferring to Sports Direct are five in Scotland which have already been closed.
Around 250 jobs have been lost as a result of Republic's collapse into administration, including nearly 100 at the five stores closed and 150 staff made redundant by the administrators at the group's headquarters.
Following their appointment earlier this month, the administrators said that Republic, which started as a men's denim retailer in 1986 under the Best Jeans brand, had been hit by a "sudden and rapid decline" in sales at the end of January, following a pick-up in sales in the run-up to Christmas after after poor trading results during the autumn.
Republic, which targets the competitive youth fashion market, sells brands including Jack Jones, SoulCal, Diesel and Firetrap.
It was bought by private equity firm TPG in June 2010 in a deal worth around £300million, with the founders understood to have retained a significant stake.

SAS transforms revenue management, price optimization to help managers maximize revenue and profits
Incorporating price elasticity, competitive effects improves pricing decisions amid market complexities
As revenue managers adopt more strategic roles within organizations, tactical revenue management systems fall short. The brand new solution, SAS® Revenue Management and Price Optimization Analytics, is designed specifically for hospitality, travel, sports and entertainment industries to help solve challenging pricing problems. From assessing how competitors' prices affect demand for hotel rooms to making sure sports season-ticket holders get the best deal regardless of win/loss records to strategically dropping prices to fill theater seats, the new software from the leader in business analytics accounts for all the constraints that matter.
"SAS has redefined revenue management. By injecting new analytical techniques, using more data and leveraging faster processing power, SAS magnifies the advantage of forecasting and optimization," said Kelly McGuire, Executive Director, Hospitality and Travel Global Practice at SAS. "This empowers companies to boost revenue lift more than is possible with traditional revenue management analytics."
Available in the US now and worldwide in 2013, SAS Revenue Management and Price Optimization Analytics addresses competitive price effects by automatically incorporating price sensitivity of demand into forecasts. Early adopters are seeing improved competitive positioning and a sustainable revenue stream, helping them become the brand of choice among investors and stakeholders.
"SAS' approach of analytically accounting for competitive price effects, combined with calculating price sensitivity at the segment level, represents a huge leap forward for revenue management," said Bill Carroll, PhD., Senior Lecturer, Cornell University. "Especially with the trend in the hospitality and travel industries towards linked rates, accounting for the relationships between market segments is crucial to profitable pricing decisions. Revenue managers must understand sensitivity at this level or they'll miss out on a huge revenue opportunity."
In addition to providing the competitive advantages that can be achieved with customized revenue management solutions, the flexible and tailored delivery approach can also minimize change management. Companies can choose to phase in a new system or upgrade just the analytics underpinning an existing system, thus preserving current workflows and user interfaces. Off-the-shelf offerings lack such flexibility.
"We're excited about the SAS Revenue Management and Price Optimization Analytics approach," said Bill Nowicki, Vice President of Ticket Operations with the National Hockey League's Carolina Hurricanes. "Optimizing pricing per market segment and knowing the number of promotional tickets we can sell without revenue dilution is a huge win. Analytics cuts through fan data and noisy external variables to help determine the right business mix far better and faster than we can do manually."
Hospitality leader MGM Resorts extends pricing edge
Under a pilot program at its Las Vegas Strip resorts, MGM Resorts International is applying pricing analytics to a revenue stream that hasn't benefited before from such advanced technology. Despite ever-present competition, other Las Vegas entertainment options are not using analytics for pricing. With SAS Revenue Management and Price Optimization Analytics, MGM Resorts automated its approach to managing entertainment revenue and pricing for its resident events.
"Las Vegas is a dynamic market, and the demand for entertainment changes daily," said Geoffrey Waldmiller, Executive Director of Hotel Revenue Analytics for MGM Resorts International. "With SAS Revenue Management and Price Optimization Analytics, we can make better pricing decisions earlier in the booking window. By automating the process, our entertainment revenue management team can spend more time analyzing and providing answers, rather than extracting and manipulating data."
Today's announcement came at The Premier Business Leadership Series event in Las Vegas, a thought-leadership conference presented by SAS that brings together more than 600 senior-level attendees from the public and private sectors to share ideas on critical business issues.

Sunday we went to the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles …. Wow. Seriously. We planned on around an hour or so to see the Elvis at 21 photography exhibit (there til March 28), but we could have easily spent all day at the museum.
Why didn't anyone tell me!!?
I definitely want to go back to the Grammy Museum and spend more than an hour. You could make this an all-day event. Especially as it's on the campus of L.A. Live. Go to an early lunch, and then spend the whole afternoon at the museum.
Who's with me?
{sidenote: we went to lunch at Rosa Mexicano and it was VERY good}
The Grammy Museum has – in addition to the expected displays with photos and text to read – costumes and outfits and TONS of interactive 'exhibits' ….
Below: A listening exhibit where you listen to different songwriters talk about their song-writing process. People like Carole King, Brian Wilson and Ludacris ….
There was an instruments little corner where you could play guitar or drums or other instruments – luckily with headphones so it wasn't a cacophony in there …
There was a whole section on the recording process… they had (I think) 8 different little sound-booth-sized rooms where you watch a short video and interact based on that part of the recording process (recording, mixing, mastering, rapping, etc).
Below, we see Andrew muting every part of the drum section in the mixing activity.
(that one ALONE was about 8 minutes. So if you did all 8 activities, you'd be just in that part of the at 1 floor for over an hour)
But – the REAL reason we decided to go to the Grammy Museum in the first place was for the Elvis at 21 photo exhibit.
Ohmygoodness it was GORGEOUS.
I love me some young Elvis.
I first heard/read about this exhibit in Vanity Fair (also, I love Vanity Fair) … check out an Elvis – Vanity Fair slideshow here. Love.
Alfred Wertheimer – as a young young photographer – was basically hired to just follow Elvis around for a week or 2 in 1956 and document his life and performances.
What an AMAZING opportunity!
I'm absurdly jealous.. …
I guess Elvis basically allowed unprecedented access …. as if he KNEW that he was going to be huge (in 1956 Elvis was still mostly a regional star and hadn't quite yet made it to national fame) and knew that there should be documentation.
There was also a small theatre playing a running loop of footage from Elvis's performances on the Ed Sullivan show.
The photos were just FANTASTIC. All blown up to about 24×36″ …. all these amazing moments of Elvis on stage, back stage, at a restaurant, at home….
I sooo loved it. Totally worth the price of admission just for this photo show.

The exhibition Lines of Control: Partition as a Productive Space explores the 1947 Partition of India. The collection currently on view at the Nasher Museum also includes other cultural identities, but South Asian artists remain central to the exhibition. To further examine the turmoil surrounding the Partition of India and the creation of the modern state of Pakistan, the Nasher Museum is hosting two discussions of the novel Train to Pakistan.
The haunting story of the arrival of civil war to a remote and peaceful town, Train to Pakistan was published in 1956 by renowned Indian author Khushwant Singh. A journalist known for his wit and biting honesty, Khushwant Singh was born in 1915 and spent his lifetime telling stories, both in fiction and non-fiction. He edited The Illustrated Weekly of India for nearly a decade, was a Member of Parliament, and published a provocative weekly column "With Malice Towards One and All." In November, he received the Mumbai LitFest 2013 Landmark Literature Live! Lifetime Achievement Award for "outstanding contribution to the Indian literary space."
Perhaps the best way to understand Khushwant Singh's approach to his writing, his desire to tell the history of India's cultural struggles, and his need to keep the Indian public engaged in thoughtful discussions comes from a 2005 interview in Outlook India Magazine. Asked why he took the job at The Illustrated Weekly, Khushwant Singh replied "I knew what I wanted to do, and it was a three-pronged formula: inform, amuse, and provoke." Staying true to himself, Khushwant Singh unabashedly published stories about controversial topics, often employing humor to make his points. Even now, at age 98, he writes about emerging political, social, and religious issues in India with same honest and fearless confrontation.

Candy Memories
When I was a kid I used to see Mars Bars at our local store, but we were too poor to buy them. When I got married, both my husband and I bought them all the time, when they had a white wrapper. This was our favorite candy bar. We noticed as time went by that they were getting harder and harder to find. We did not know its name had changed to Snickers Almond. Now we look forward to having that candy bar to bring back many wonderful memories. I love almonds in the first place and this made them extra special. Thanks for bringing it back. Tresa in Minnesota
The butternut candy bar was the best candy bar ever made when I was growing up. Wish it was still around. The closes candy bar to it is the snickers. Love the snickers with almonds!! Gloria from Florida

Reality Check: What Must Be the Case if Christianity is True?
18) That although historical reconstructions of the past are are notoriously difficult because they depend on the poor evidence of history, and even though historians must assess that evidence by assuming a natural explanation for it, and even though historical evidence can never establish how to view that evidence, the Christian faith can be established historically anyway. My argument is that when it comes to miraculous claims, yesterday's evidence no longer can hold water for me, for in order to see it as evidence, I must already believe in the framework that allows me to see it as evidence. In other words, in order to see yesterday's evidence as evidence for me, I must already believe the Christian framework that allows me to see yesterday's evidence as evidence for Christianity.

Walk-off losses not a concern for Mills
By AJ Cassavell / MLB.com
Five of Houston's 14 road losses heading into Sunday's series finale against the Dodgers have come in the final at-bat. The most recent episode came Saturday, when Los Angeles catcher A.J. Ellis cranked a three-run homer in the ninth inning.
The losses may be deflating, but Mills is choosing to look at them in a more positive light.
"What does a walk-off loss mean -- No. 1, it means you were in the game all the way until the end," Mills said. "And that's what we want. We want to give ourselves a chance to win games and keep battling all the way until the end."
The Astros have been able to stay in games, but they haven't been able to win those tight contests on the road, posting a 2-8 mark in one-run road games. At home, they're 6-0 in such contests.
Mills emphasized his belief that those stats are purely the results of over-analysis and that they'd even out as the season goes on.
"Whether it's a mental thing or what, more than anything else, we're in that game and giving ourselves a chance to win games, and it's going to happen," Mills said. "These players are too good. We're going to get those hits and we're going to drive those runs in."
Abad placed on DL, Cedeno called up
LOS ANGELES -- Just when it seemed as though Fernando Abad was turning a corner this season, the Astros lefty reliever was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a right intercostal strain.
To replace Abad, the Astros purchased the contract of Xavier Cedeno from Triple-A Oklahoma City, and he'll be available for the club's series finale in Los Angeles on Sunday. The move fills out Houston's 40-man roster.
Abad pitched on Friday and then felt tenderness in his right side afterward that caused him discomfort. After meeting with the training staff again on Saturday, the decision was made to place him on the DL.
"I didn't feel anything before I got in the game, and during the game I didn't feel anything, too," Abad said. "After that, I don't know what happened."
In 15 appearances this season, Abad has a 5.00 ERA. In his past eight outings, however, he has surrendered just one run.
Manager Brad Mills sees the 25-year-old Cedeno, also a lefty reliever, as an adequate replacement for Abad. In 17 appearances with Oklahoma City, Cedeno is 2-0 with an ERA of 0.42. Left-handed hitters are just 1-for-24 against him.
"Because of the way he's pitching, he'll go right into the role that Abad had, and step right in there," Mills said.
That said, Mills noted the loss of Abad is a blow to a bullpen that has been sharp for most of the season. In Abad's last appearance, he recorded a crucial eighth-inning strikeout of James Loney to preserve a Houston victory.
But Mills had to dip into his bullpen early on Saturday night, and with a doubleheader on Monday, he didn't want to be left short-handed in relief.
"It's too bad," Mills said. "Any time you have somebody that's throwing the ball well and you're going to have to do without him for a couple of weeks, that's difficult."
In a brief big league stint last season, Cedeno allowed five runs in just 1 2/3 innings. Mills said not to look too far into that, because the club called Cedeno up in September from his home in Puerto Rico.
Cedeno, whose Minor League season had ended two weeks earlier, came to the big leagues cold, and the ensuing struggles were a result of that, Mills said.
Lyles to start Game 2 of Monday's twin bill
LOS ANGELES -- Jordan Lyles will start for the Astros in the second game of Monday's scheduled doubleheader at Coors Field, manager Brad Mills announced after Sunday's game in Los Angeles.
The move comes as no surprise, as Lyles started Thursday for Triple-A Oklahoma City and was removed after just two innings.
It will be the fourth start of the season for the 21-year-old right-hander. He's 0-1 with a 5.29 ERA. In his most recent start, Lyles allowed six earned runs in five innings against Texas.
Earlier on Sunday, Mills confirmed that lefty ace Wandy Rodriguez (4-4, 2.14 ERA) would get the ball in Game 1 of the twin bill against the Rockies' Juan Nicasio. Lyles will face Alex White in the nightcap.
A new rule this season allows for a 26-man roster on doubleheaders scheduled more than one day in advance. That means Lyles' callup will be only temporary.
"I'd like to have the 26-man rule all the time," Mills kidded. "But yeah, it's real good, definitely for a doubleheader like this."
Still, it might not be long before Lyles is back again. The club will eventually have to make a decision on a starter for their game next Sunday against Cincinnati, which would fall on Lyles' turn in the rotation.

Hugo Boss brown watch from Unbroken seen with Jack O'Connell (Louis Zamperini)
As Seen on Louis Zamperini (Jack O'Connell) in Unbroken
The Unbreakable Hero: Whether in Olympic threads or POW-uniforms, Louis Zamperini (Jack O'Connell) is not a man you can break. Idealistic and eager to serve his country, Louis finds himself encountering hardship after hardship, from 47 days stranded on a raft to brutal mistreatment in a Japanese POW camp. Yet each time, Louis manages to keep hope, uphold his values and stay alive.
Abused as a POW in enemy territory, Louis Zamperini (Jack O'Connell) lives in dirty uniforms and disintegrating outfits while desperately clinging to life. Yet, the dust, sweat and tears that stain his clothes belie the sterling reputation he possessed as a former Olympic athlete and the crisp white suits and track uniforms he once wore with pride.
Scroll down to see more clothes, outfits and products identified from Unbroken.

"Every block of stone has a statue inside it
and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it. – Michelangelo
By Rich Lindbloom
In 1501, Michelangelo was commissioned to sculpt a statue of the famous biblical figure David. He was given a block of damaged marble 19 feet tall, chiseling away at it for almost three years. The finished sculpture was over 17 feet tall! Purportedly, when Michelangelo finished his masterpiece, it was so life like he shouted, "Speak!" I thought about the difficulties a sculptor might encounter when detailing his creation. As I packed the snow to form Frosty on Saturday, chunks would fall out and I'd have to start all over. Can you imagine if Michelangelo hit down a little too hard with that chisel – I'm pretty sure that's what happened to a lot of the sculptures that have missing arms. Continue reading »

Dolores welcomed home a national champion athlete last week.
A party was thrown for three-time national champ and Olympic hopeful cyclist Lauren Hall on Oct. 23.
Hall autographed pictures of herself winning an indoor track national championship recently and was presented a national champion jersey by Dolores Town Manager Ryan Mahoney.
Since then, Hall has been speaking at local schools about her career as a professional cyclist and riding the local roads to stay in shape during the offseason.
The Star caught up with this busy cyclist recently and she answered some questions.
How old are you and where did you come from?
Im 33 and Im from Vicksburg, Miss., ....home of the civil war.
What is your most recent accomplishment on your bike?
My most recent accomplishment is winning two track national championships within 30 minutes of each other. Or even more recent, talking to Dolores schools, and hopefully motivating the older kids and getting the younger ones excited about bikes.
How fast can you ride your bike?
I can average, by myself, around 21-23 mph on the road bike. On the track bike, when I won my national championship, I was averaging around 30 mph for almost four minutes.... OW!
What kind of bike do you ride?
I ride a Specialized SL4 Amira road bike and for my time trial bike, I ride a Specialized Shiv, they are the top of the line womens bikes from that company. My track bike is a Jamis Sonic.
What was your top finishing races in Europe?
Most of the time, I was working for one of my teammates, who was trying to make the Olympic squad but at the end of the season when I had the opportunity to get a result, I was second overall at Giro della Toscana, a race in Italy.
What is your most memorable experience of Europe racing?
My most memorable experience of Europe, would have to be the spring races. They are the hardest of cycling races because, it is the spring, its cold, wet and we are usually racing over some sort of cobblestones. Im also racing against girls that excel that time of year based on their size, meaning most of those girls were a lot taller than me and a lot more intimidating. When I only raced in the US the previous year, I only crashed once the entire year. When I raced in Belgium and Holland for three weeks this past spring, I crashed three times!! Ouch...
Hardest part about racing in Europe?
The hardest part of racing is a culmination of travel, depth of the field sizes and small roads. Traveling to Europe takes at least 3-5 days as an athlete to acclimate to wherever we travel, to get over jet lag, to get the legs moving again after sitting on a plane for eight hours, etc. Then, the depth of the fields are a lot greater in Europe, the girls grew up racing bikes, whereas most US riders came from different sports I came from soccer. On top of those factors, the roads are small, their highways are our 2-lane roads. Most races have up to 180-200 riders racing 25 mph down these muddy, cobblestone, small roads its intense!
What does the future hold? Olympics?
Im hoping in the future, I will win more national championships road and track which will lead to world championships that are held every year. Im also committed for another four years to hopefully make it for the 2016 Olympic games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Why train and live in Dolores?
I live in Dolores because of Michael Engleman. He had a womens development program that was based out of Dolores. So, I moved here to be coached by him directly. Dolores is close enough to Durango for flying or any other needs that Cortez or Dolores may not meet. It is quieter here, a bit less traffic in the summer from all the tourists. I train here because of the altitude and the roads. The ride from Dolores to Telluride is one of the hardest rides Ive ever done, because you have to cross over Lizard Head Pass at 10,000-feet, there isnt a lot of oxygen at that altitude. That helps me when I head to races that are at sea level, because there is plenty of oxygen and I can use less energy than most riders, because Ive trained at altitude.
What other sports do you play?
I grew up playing soccer, basketball, tennis and running track. I enjoy disc golf in Cortez when I can get there. There is also bike polo that some guys play in Cortez during the summer, I would like to try that sometime. I enjoy walking and hiking in the mountains, and seeing places Ive never seen that are right in my backyard.
Do you have any fitness tips for us regular folk?
Start slow! Many people jump into an extensive workout and are too sore to continue, but if you take it a little bit at a time to where it almost feels too easy, you are doing it right. Most important part of staying fit is the food you fuel yourself with and the rest you get at night. Try to get a fruit and/or vegetable in at every meal, drink plenty of water, especially here because it is so dry and high altitude. Try to get as much rest as possible, sleep is the best recovery for your body and muscles.
How should drivers treat cyclists on the road?
Drivers should see cyclists as slow moving cars. A lot of cars get frustrated with cyclists, but I try to ask the drivers, Think of us as tractors. You dont mind slowing down for a tractor and passing when it is safe. This is my office, the roads of Montezuma County, people think it is funny to drive close to a cyclist, but that is my life you are putting in jeopardy. The only protection from a car I have is my jersey and my helmet. Ive had friends and teammates hit by cars and killed, it is very scary. But I love my job and I will do my best to stay to the right of the road as possible for drivers, and I hope in return, they will safely pass me with only a minor interruption in their short drive.
A little known fact about you?
My grandfather played for the first (San Francisco) 49ers (NFL) team and (the then) Cleveland Rams. In 1939, he was the No. 1 draft choice, Player of the Year, Rookie of the Year and was All-Pro. He was also the MVP in the 1939 All-Star game. He is my inspiration to be a professional athlete. I attended Culinary Arts School at Le Cordon Bleu, Austin, Texas, and I worked in child nutrition for MS (multiple sclerosis) for five years. I have a biological sciences (bachelors) degree from Mississippi State University and a masters degree from Belhaven College, Jackson, Miss.
Anything else?
Thank you Dolores for all of your support, please keep your eyes open for me on the road, I usually wave.

I somehow managed to get the toolbar working! YAY! I could get the site status icon, private browsing icon, everything!
But then my PC hung for some reason - no response (task manager wouldn't appear) and I had to do a forced shut-down. That was when it went down hill after that - I couldn't get the site status icon or the private browsing icon to appear in FireFox 4.0.1; I could get the "Z" icon on the left-hand side and it's search box, the little spanner on the right hand side worked (both before the forced shut-down and after), but the two icons decided to not appear after the forced shut-down.
My experience with ZAES (whilst I got the toolbar to work) felt buggy to me still - one such experience is that in FireFox 4.0.1, if you have virtualization enabled and then click on "Private Browsing", a new window appears but the blue strip saying "nothing is being recorded" does not appear - exactly like Sky Soldiers posting.
Also, the security toolbar felt better when using IE8 for some reason than FireFox 4.0.1 - despite the fact that the private browsing (and it's little blue strip) worked in IE8 when virtualization was enabled (unlike FireFox) - I'm not sure if extensive testing was conducted with users using FireFox 4.0.1 but it didn't feel that way as I was using FireFox 4.0.1.
I'm still unsure what my next move is - I currently have ZAISS 9.3 installed and might try to install version 10 and see if that works (if not I'll revert back to 9.3); though I wish Extreme would work, I like using ForceField and I like the concept of it with its virtualization software...

Knicks game New York Knicks at Dallas Mavericks.
All comments, Predictions, and after game discussions go here
Why is Dirk playing? They dont need to play him. They are risking a lot if he gets injuried even more. Oh well not our problem.
DAMN, Marbury is the man
LOOK HOW WELL Marbury, Collins, Balkman play together
This should be the main core.
Look how sucessful this team can be when Curry wants to rebound the basketball. Damn, we can compete if guys like Curry give their effort on the LITTLE THINGS. I'm impressed by Curry, he only has 4 points, but he's been boxing out very well...his defense hasn't been bad either.
Damn, as I'm typing, it looks like Dallas is getting their calls now...I believe we can think this. But whenever I get optimistic, we end up losing. =(
No problem.
Looks like the knicks gotta play 8-5 again tonight. The Refs are #$@(in stupid I would fire each ref AND I WILL Be a ref.
its amazing that we have 20 turnovers so far(3rd 4:20) and we are still right there.
And too many fouls and bad refs and poor FT shooting by us. Excellent FT shooting by them. Oh and What the Hell is Frye DOING!! Oh and Wheres the Defensive Rebounds?
Last edited by nyKnicks126; Mar 30, 2007 at 22:49.
Win or lose the Knicks played hard this game. If they played like this all season we'd be Atlantic Division Champs HANDS DOWN....Do yall see my boy STARBURY? He might get 50.
We should've won that game. If Balkman would've got that rebound we might've won but i'm not mad @ all cause they played the best team in the NBA and almost won. But I do agree with u about Marbury, Collins and Balkman in the same lineup.
heartbreak hotel and i wanna die
I know that game was beautiful n the knicks played their hearts out... but I really wanted that W n that end just made my stomach drop.
i guess well see ya in 08 now... **** that blows but we clearly arent going to the playoffs now
Dont say that... We are playing the Damned Nets twice still they can drop out too. and VC got a injury.
By the way I hate Dirk.
Damn...another one.
how bad did carter get hurt??? i also hate dirk what a smug ugly foreigner.. f him
Didn't carter come back after his injury?

The pizza maker at my local PJ's was very fast in opening a dough ball into a skin.
Norma,If you want to see fast, see the PJ worker in the YouTube video in Reply 1 at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,6758.msg58196.html#msg58196 . It looks like both workers were trained the same way but separated by about five years. Even their outfits, including the PJ shirts and slacks, are similar.Peter
If he drools on my pizza I'm gonna be mad! Jus kidding, I tried them and will never waste money on one of those rubber band pies again.
Bob,I have heard similar complaints from others but that hasn't deterred some of our members from making some pretty decent looking PJ clones, as evidenced below. And I am sure that other members have achieved similar results but were too bashful to post them or they ate the pizzas before they could get their cameras out. Peter
Pete, you state you cook your pizza on the lowest shelf ..... presumably your oven produces heat from the bottom and this helps colour the underside of the pizza? In the UK our ovens typically only go up to 500*f max and the heat generally comes from a gas flame at the rear or electrical heating element on the top. This means that the bottom of the oven is the coolest part. Because of this I have instead been using the highest possible position in my oven as that is the hottest part however im struggling to get colour on the bottom of my pie, Ive also tried the middle shelf with similar results even on a stone that has been heated on the highest gas mark for 1.5h+. Im going to try a screen to see if I get better results but Im unsure whether I should place it lower down to allow for a longer cooking time or whether to keep it on the top shelf. Please could you advise.
the heat source is a gas flame intake at the rear back side, the heat rises up the back to the top of the oven to the top, making the top the hottest part. No heat actually comes from the bottom surface and it tends to be quite a bit cooler than the top. I suspect that as I struggle to get underside colour with a stone then I am also going to struggle with a screen
My other option is to purchase a specialized pizza cooking device such as the one in the link below, do you have any knowledge regarding such contraptions?https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B002VA4CDI/?tag=pmak-20
I am quite happy with one of those contraptions, I have a bestron Dld9016 and got great results.Had a few problems at start because it was getting better cooked in one place of the oven and less in another part, but, I now have a system that ensures even cooking.I preheat the oven as intructions say and then put the pizza for 3 minutes and then rotate the pizza and bake for another 3-4 minutes.One handle on the pizza stone is taken of so I can rotate the pizza without raising the lid, moving the pizza stone.There is on problem, it is a small oven, it can feed one person but if you make for a party then you need a bigger oven.LEPete-zza's oven ( Deni 2300 ) seems it doesn't use a stone, might be why results weren't so good.
Hi Peter. Thanks for this very interesting and well documented post.I have a question for you about the cooking of this pizza. It's possible to bake it in a wood fired oven at high temp as Neapolitan pizza? Thanks in advanceTony Mc Brice

How is a bacterial library created and a gene cloned? A bacterial library is constructed by chopping up the genome of the medicinal plant (the "parent") with a restriction enzyme. Restriction enzymes recognize specific double-stranded DNA sequences and cut each DNA strand, often creating "sticky ends" known as 3' or 5' overhangs. This generates a random assortment of DNA fragments. Some of these DNA fragments from the medicinal plant will contain the gene that encodes the green glowing protein with anticancer properties. When the same restriction enzyme is used to cut (digest) a plasmid (the "destination") it produces an opening in the plasmid with sticky ends that are complementary to the sticky ends of the medicinal plant DNA fragments. Next, the plant DNA fragments are inserted into plasmids by joining (ligating) their sticky ends and covalently bound together by a DNA ligase enzyme. The resulting plasmids contain random assortments of DNA fragments derived from the genome of the medicinal plant. The plasmids are transformed into the bacteria, E. coli. When transformed bacteria divide, the plasmid is also replicated. In the best-case scenario, some of the transformed bacterial cells will contain copies of the plasmid containing the plant gene, which encodes the protein of interest.
Secrets of the Rainforest colonies and GFP separation on a series of hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) columns.
The Secrets of the Rainforest™ Kit provides a biotechnology curriculum that takes students on an adventure starting in the rainforest in the Andes, continuing to a biotechnology company engaged in developing new pharmaceutical compounds, and finally to the Food and Drug Administration.
Features and Benefits
With this kit, students are able to:
How It Works
In the hands-on portion of the exercise, students streak out the bacterial library, grow the bacteria, and select the colonies that have acquired the green glowing trait from a background of nonglowing bacteria. A culture of bacteria is grown to scale up production of the green glowing protein, which is then purified by column chromatography. The actual source of this fluorescent protein is the bioluminescent jellyfish Aequorea victoria.
This practical activity is followed by dry-lab lessons in which the purified green protein is put through the drug discovery process. This includes learning about Food and Drug Administration regulations, animal testing, marketing practices for introducing a new drug, financing, ethical issues, and student presentations. Students examine the needs and viewpoints of advocacy groups, the biotechnology industry, and the FDA. They consider ethical, economic, social, and practical issues, and develop possible strategies for what they feel are the best outcomes.

It is exactly what we were looking for! I love it!
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
We were looking for a wall mount to mount our 64" Samsung plasma TV in a 10" rectangular slot that barely contains the TV - with about 1" gap on all sides. This mount works beautifully. We can pull it straight out of the slot or turn it a bit sideway. Besides, it was very easy to install and it is sturdily built.
Pros: Easy to install, sturdily buit. Can come directly forward.
Cons: None.

The survey is being conducted by the Department of Planning and Community Environment, which is creating an Urban Forest Master Plan to maintain and enhance the canopy.
"Our vision for Palo Alto trees is being developed through the survey in collaboration with the Palo Alto community," Public Works arborist Eric Krebs said.
The results of the brief survey, which closes Jan. 26, will guide recommendations set to be discussed at a City Council study session Saturday, Feb. 7. Results will be considered as the city develops a Master Plan, funded by a CalFire grant to Palo Alto made prior to the controversial 2009 cutting of 63 trees on California Avenue.
"We got the grant before that happened, but it did heighten the need for this," Curtis Williams, director of planning and community environment, said.
When written, procedures for canopy maintenance and interdepartmental collaboration will take into account the questions and concerns community members express in the survey, city officials said.
"We want to develop an ongoing index of trees in Palo Alto and a way to continue to monitor the health of the urban forest. We want to ensure that we have policies and procedures for when we must take trees into account," Williams.
The survey and the plan will mainly be concerned with trees on city property, Williams said.
Merger saves City of Palo Alto employees' credit union
A financially struggling credit union used by City of Palo Alto employees has been taken over by one of the largest credit unions in Silicon Valley, according to a California Department of Financial Institutions filing.
The 70-year-old Palo Alto Community Federal Credit Union, with assets of $11.7 million, merged with the much larger San Mateo Credit Union in November after posting significant losses since the September 2008 stock market and housing crash. Efforts to expand its clientele could not help Palo Alto Credit Union survive on its own, according to Stephen Tabler, San Mateo Credit Union vice president of marketing.
Credit unions are nonprofit cooperative financial institutions controlled by members, often by federal, state, county or municipal workers. Some unions are for large institutions, such as universities, or are community-based. Members pool their assets to provide loans and other financial services to each other, resulting in lower loan rates and dividends and fewer service fees, according to the Credit Union National Association. The institutions are not owned by outside stockholders.
The City of Palo Alto makes transfers to employee accounts through payroll deductions but does not have a banking relationship for other city funding with the credit union, according to Lalo Perez, city administrative services director.
City employees voted in September to accept the merger, Tabler said. The employees started the Palo Alto credit union in 1951. Located at 616 Ramona St., it served 1,553 members, according to National Credit Union Administration.
San Mateo Credit Union has seven branches and a mortgage-loan center, 68,248 members and $605 million in assets, Tabler said.
Mexico president to address Stanford grads June 12
Mexico President Felipe Calderon Hinojosa will be the speaker at Stanford University's 120th commencement June 12, the university announced Jan. 18.
Also highlighting commencement weekend will be Class Day speaker Rob Reich, a Stanford political theorist and former sixth-grade teacher; and Baccalaureate speaker Gail E. Bowman, chaplain at Dillard University in New Orleans.
Calderon, elected in 2006 to a six-year term, "is committed to finding solutions to a number of national and global problems, ranging from combating drug cartels to comprehensive immigration reform and arms control," Stanford President John Hennessy said.
"His views on a life devoted to solving pressing problems and to improving society will be particularly meaningful for our graduates, as will his experience leading a nation so vitally intertwined with the future of California and the United States."
Reich will address seniors, families and friends June 11 in a 30-year "Class Day" tradition of hearing a last lecture from a popular Stanford professor.
He is an associate professor of political science, also teaching in the Philosophy Department and School of Education. He is faculty director of the Program on Ethics in Society.
Bowman, a Harvard-trained lawyer who has been chaplain at Dillard since 1998, is a teacher as well as preacher and a member of the Louisiana Board of Ethics.

Raps Lineups
Raps acquire 2 1st round pick (mid 20 to 30 range), i would target either Dario Saric (backup SF) for this team and one of Trey Burke, Kabongo or Cannan as our future starting PG. Then the offseason, If I'm the GM, i would look to flip DeRozan + Fields for a starting caliber PF or give DeRozan another year, this way, we can see if Ross can develop into a formidable player in this second year then we can trade DeRozan at the deadline by next year. We can sign a backup SG in Reddick or Foye, veteran C in Dalembart, Okafor, or Frye
Our future is
Drafted PG/Lowry/Selby
Ross/Reddick or Foye

"What we are foreseeing is the situation of the market is not going to be fundamentally different than in 2004,"
"The way the East Valley is growing, I foresee a continued steady increase over the next several years here."
"There are no major events foreseeable in the coming days to change the trend. We're expecting sideways markets with a little less volatility."
"Fund managers are asserting that a slowdown in telecom spending is here for foreseeable future. As far as investors needing a dedicated technology fund in their portfolio, it's not essential because many growth funds will give the exposure and diversification they need, without the risk."
"With our guards, I didn't foresee that as a problem coming in. We knew they would come out aggressive. But we kept looking inside. They tried to expose our big guys, but as I've said, they are agile and can move inside or out."

IACP 2103: Point Blank releases new NIJ IIIA body armor
The Alpha Elite Series — announced officially this morning at IACP 2013 — is designed around the Dyneema Force Multiplier Technology by DSM
During my Monday afternoon walkabout among the vendor booths at the Philadelphia Convention Center, I ran into Michael Haynes of Point Blank, who had some information to share on the newest body armor technology from the company.
The Alpha Elite Series — announced officially this morning at IACP 2013 — is designed around the Dyneema Force Multiplier Technology by DSM. I can throw all sorts of stats at you — for example, compared to Point Blank's previous lightest Level IIIA vest, the Alpha Elite Series is 12 percent lighter — but what you really want to know is that it's lightweight, flexible, affordable, and available today.
"It's a big leap forward in ballistic technology," Haynes told me. "What we were able to do is basically offer a level IIIA performance in a size-weight envelope of a really good level II. Not only is the technology a huge leap forward, but it's also affordable."
The company tested about 400 materials before deciding on Dyneema Force Multiplier. The material is so light and thin that it looks a little bit like cheesecloth, but the NIJ .06 compliant vests I saw today have "extraordinarily efficient absorption of impact energy" according to the company, and have proven in testing to exceed FBI protocol in both fragmentation protection and multi-hit performance.
Today the ballistics package hit the streets, and is available now in all of Point Blank's currently existing carriers, both concealable and tactical. At SHOT Show in January, the company will debut dedicated systems for this new technology.
Pricing information, according to a company spokesperson, will soon be forthcoming.

A festival aiming to raise awareness about a healthier environment is taking place today.
The I Love Market Harborough event organised by the Sustainable Harborough group will see a range of activities and presentations to inspire greener practices, taking place around The Square from 9am.
Jo Sharman, community project officer at Sustainable Harborough, said: "While many people are concerned about environmental issues, they often feel powerless to make a difference.
"However, there are many simple changes that people can make which can have a significant impact.
"The day has an important message, but we are also hoping to make it fun."
Activities will include a solar-powered Scalextric racing set on The Square, art and cookery sessions and the launch of Harborough's new Food Map, which addresses food provenance.
George Halls Cycle Centre, of Northampton Road, will be offering free tyre-pressure checks and chain lubrication at its premises, while the HFM roadshow will broadcasting on The Square throughout the event.
There will also be presentations at The Angel Hotel in High Street, where speakers will talk about community gardens, community energy and energy grants at 11.15am, 1.15pm and 2.45pm.
Jo added: "We hope to show people that adopting a more sustainable approach can also save them money."
Sustainable Harborough is a five-year project funded through the Big Lottery Fund's Communities Living Sustainably programme, working with householders, businesses and local producers to raise awareness of sustainability.
"People don't have to commit to a project, just come along to the stalls and talks to find out more about what we are doing – and how we can help them," said Jo.
A drop-in centre is being set up at Harborough Market, in Northampton Road, from 8am to 5pm to offer money saving advice and slots can be booked by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.

Oregon Governor Signs Update of State's Credit Union Act
Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber has signed a bill that will update the state's credit union act, including increasing the cap for lending to a single borrower.
The new provisions in the act, signed into law on Monday by the governor, will take effect on Jan. 1, 2014.
According to the Northwest Credit Union Association, the Oregon Credit Union Act will include the following new provisions:
- Broaden Oregon's parity authority by allowing its credit unions to invoke parity with out-of-state credit unions and streamline the process for invoking parity with federally chartered credit unions.
- Clarify the role of the supervisory committee in governance-related matters.
- Extend additional liability protection to credit union directors and officers.
- Remove the wording in Oregon law that requires the board to "perform other duties as the members of the credit union from time to time direct and perform or authorize any action not inconsistent with this chapter and not specifically reserved by the bylaws for the members."
- Remove language in Oregon law which permits a credit union to employ a chief operating officer/president and a security officer.
- Make the declaring of dividends a delegable power under Oregon law; and increase the loans to one borrower limit to the larger of $100,000 or 15% of a credit union's equity.
Backed by NWCUA, the bill was the result of recommendations by the Oregon State Model Act Subcommittee chaired by Scott Burgess, president/CEO of the $569 million Rivermark Community Credit Union in Beaverton, Ore.
"The sub-committee put a tremendous amount of work and analysis into the legislation signed by the governor, and we're very pleased with the outcome," Burgess said in a league statement.
As the chairman of the sub-committee," he said, :" I know I speak for the group in saying that we're all particularly proud that, in Oregon, we routinely open up the Credit Union Act to seek out legislative changes that will help credit unions better serve their members in these challenging times."


text: Had a chance to get out and attempt some catching today. Met up with forum member Javier AKA Optimum7 at B&M this morning. Loaded up on Fiddlers along with various essentials and made our way to the boat launch. I noticed that we had a 40% chance of rain today but being the guy that has zero faith in weather prediction, i went along with our plan anyways. Got just shy of the base and we were greeted by big rollers and strong easterly wind. Things started looking awful right off the bat. We changed our course and headed for the Little Jetties. Not sure why but the Sheepshead were just not biting. We sat it out for a good hour or so and it appeared that the rough weather in the Inlet may have subsided. We dragged up and headed back out and the inlet was looking like glass(minus the points). Made for the southern point and went to work. The bite was there but very slow. To make matters worse, we were both turning various shades of green and needed to get the hell away from those rollers. We headed over to the north rocks and sat as close to the rocks as possible. The swells were much smaller there and we continued searching for the Sheepshead. Sensing an impending skunking, i went ahead and halved up a Blue Crab and put some lines out to maybe get a Red or Drum bite. The Sheep continued being elusive but luckily, i start hearing thumping noise coming from behind me and sure enough, the Crab rig is completely hunched over getting slammed! A few minutes later and i have a nice little 31" Red in the boat. Snapped a pic and tried for another one. By this time, the rain has really started coming down. We are drenched and freezing our stones off. Im getting my jacket back on and Javier is saying "Fish on, grab the rod"! I look over and we got another nice fish slamming the Crab rig. This time it's Javiers turn. A few minutes later and we have another hefty Red Fish in the boat. Wasn't long before we had enough of the conditions and went back in. We lasted till about noon. I can tell Javier is gonna be a fun guy to fish with. We had some terrible luck today but i think we will get back out there and try it again on Saturday.

Inventor, Author and Entrepreneur Ray Kurzweil Receives Clarkson University Honorary Degree
[A photograph for media use is available at http://www.clarkson.edu/news/photos/kurzweil.jpg ]
Inventor, author and entrepreneur Ray Kurzweil received an honorary doctor of science degree at Clarkson University's 116th Commencement today.
The degree was awarded for his "exceptional career achievements in the fields of optical character recognition, speech recognition technology, music synthesis and other areas of artificial intelligence, and for his lifelong commitment to developing innovative technology that serves humanity."
Kurzweil addressed the Class of 2009, saying, "The power of technology to change the world in every field is growing at an exponential rate. So think about what the world will be like three or four years from now" and plan your projects for that that future world, because the pace of change is growing faster and faster, and your power to change the world and to overcome the world's challenges is growing commensurately."
Kurzweil has been described as "the restless genius" by the Wall Street Journal, and "the ultimate thinking machine" by Forbes. Inc. magazine ranked him #8 among entrepreneurs in the United States, calling him the "rightful heir to Thomas Edison," and PBS included Kurzweil as one of 16 "revolutionaries who made America," along with other inventors of the past two centuries.
As one of the leading inventors of our time, Kurzweil was the principal developer of the first CCD flat-bed scanner, the first omni-font optical character recognition, the first print-to-speech reading machine for the blind, the first text-to-speech synthesizer, the first music synthesizer capable of recreating the grand piano and other orchestral instruments, and the first commercially marketed large-vocabulary speech recognition. Kurzweil's Web site, Kurzweil AI.net, has more than one million readers.
Among Kurzweil's many honors, he is the recipient of the $500,000 MIT-Lemelson Prize, the world's largest for innovation. In 1999, he received the National Medal of Technology, the nation's highest honor in technology, from President Clinton in a White House ceremony. And in 2002, he was inducted into the National Inventor's Hall of Fame, established by the US Patent Office.
He has received 16 honorary doctorates and honors from three U.S. presidents.
Kurzweil has written five books, four of which have been national best sellers. The Age of Spiritual Machines has been translated into nine languages and was the #1 best selling book on Amazon.com in science. Kurzweil's latest book, The Singularity is Near, was a New York Times best seller, and has been the #1 book on Amazon in both science and philosophy.
Clarkson University launches leaders into the global economy. One in six alumni already leads as a CEO, VP or equivalent senior executive of a company. Located just outside the Adirondack Park in Potsdam, N.Y., Clarkson is a nationally recognized research university for undergraduates with select graduate programs in signature areas of academic excellence directed toward the world's pressing issues. Through 50 rigorous programs of study in engineering, business, arts, sciences and health sciences, the entire learning-living community spans boundaries across disciplines, nations and cultures to build powers of observation, challenge the status quo, and connect discovery and engineering innovation with enterprise.

Grapefruit, Eggplant & Montepulciano d' Abruzzo
It is part of the distinct charm of the Italian state of mind to give unlike wine similar names. Or anything for that matter. Anyone who has driven in Italy and tried to find a town starting with the name of Colle, Castello, Rocca or Monte will recognize the dilemma. But, after all, it's Italy and people have been finding their way around, eventually, to the town or the Café or the vineyard. Or not. And then it's merely a matter of "recognizing" that wherever they have landed, either be it for lunch or a wine tasting or a day in the country, is just "perfetto" . One of my dear friends would say "ottimo", most favorable. It's that Italian sense of latitude relative to their compact with happiness.
What did he say? When in Rome…..
So, what's with the fruits and vegetables? Those who speak English (and Italian) know the difference between grapefruit (pompelmo) and grape (uva). Also the English speaking (and Italians) know the difference between eggplant (melanzana) and egg (uovo). The Italians use different words than the English so there is no confusion. All clear?
But this Montepulciano business is really something that keeps coming up. The folks in Abruzzo say the Tuscans should rename their Vino Nobile and some of the Tuscans tell the folks in Abruzzo, "Hey, we were here first! Get your own name!"
Mary Ewing-Mulligan, Ed McCarthy, the authors of Italian Wine For Dummies, say it best in their book, and I quote, "The confusion is understandable, but these two wines are definitely different wines made from different grape varieties. Vino Nobile is a dry red wine made primarily from the Prugnolo Gentile variety (a type of Sangiovese) around the town of Montepulciano in southeastern Tuscany. Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is also a dry red wine, but made mainly from the Montepulciano variety, which grows in the region of Abruzzo on the Adriatic coast, southeast of Tuscany. The Montepulciano variety is believed to be native to the Abruzzo region, and it has no connection to Sangiovese or to the town of Montepulciano in Tuscany." That's as simple and clear an explanation as it gets! Now go and get the book, because there are other nuggets in it.
In trips to Italy I have been really fortunate to spend time in the Abruzzo region and make friends with winemakers there.
There are great memories around the open hearth with vine branches roasting fresh lamb and pork from the macelleria with bottles of Montepulciano d'Abruzzo.
Oh, and the people too. One great wine pioneer, Dino Illuminati and his family, stands out in my heart . It was in the town of Controguerra that Abruzzo made Montepulciano theirs. That's Dino's town and he's their Antinori or Mondavi. And he can eat for all three of them. Great guy. Bigger than life. Historical. The stuff great novels are made of.
Now do we have it all sorted out? Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and Montepulciano d'Abruzzo? Eggs and eggplant? Grapes and grapefruit?
What about this just to mess you up? How do the Italians deal with telling the difference with words like uva (grape) and egg (uovo) when they are growing up? Or what about that Calabrian peasant recipe that has a casserole of eggplant with eggs? You get the picture? Confused again? Good.
And that calls for a glass of wine.What shall it be? Maybe something... Montepulciano? Maybe from a Castello? Or a Poggio? Or a Monte? There is a Monti Montepulciano d' Abruzzo. But dont confuse it with the Montori Montepulciano d' Abruzzo, who also happens to be Dino Illuminati's good friend. But we're way beyond confused again. Pop the cork.
Bona Notte!

Carissimo Alfonso, mi ha fatto enormemente piacere che tra le tue memorie hai inserito me, il mio Montepulciano e tutto il mio staff. Anche per noi sei come uno di famiglia e noi tutti speriamo di rivederti presto. E' passato quasi un anno ed il nostro caro amico e' sempre presente in noi, devo dirti che mi manca molto e tutte le mie memorie oltre oceano sono legate a Lui. Ti ringrazio di vero cuore per tutto quello che fai per noi. Con affetto, Dino Tanti cari saluti da tutta la famiglia e lo Staff

Sono davvero contento che ti sia trovato bene nel nostro caro Abruzzo!! D'altra parte, hai avuto a che fare con una delle famiglie di vitivinicoltori alle quali siamo grati tutti noi abruzzesi!! La confusione tra i montepulciani di toscana e d'abruzzo non vi deve scoraggiare...leggete bene l'etichetta e troverete due prodotti diversi ma entrambi piacevoli!! Buona salute!!
- November 14, 2006 at 1:45 PM
Pierluigi, la confusione giova la riputazione del vino abruzzese, no? La cosa importante e' questo: ABRUZZO. E' una regione molto particolare e la "patria" di tanti italo-americani.
Cmq mi piacciono i vini abruzzesi e gli Illuminati sono leader di qualita' che non possono che fare strada negli USA.

Is a "Fill-in-Boyfriend" Stopping You From Finding Love?
Sometimes when I sit down with a new client, we review how and with whom they are spending their time. What I often see is that women have a "fill-in" boyfriend in their life, meaning a purely platonic guy-friend that they hang out with, laugh with, do activities with, confide in but are not involved with. I've come to learn that this type of closeness can sometimes get in the way of meeting a boyfriend because you are already getting all your needs met by this guy-friend, except for physical intimacy.

-- Robert Preidt
WEDNESDAY, July 10 (HealthDay News) -- Children born as the
result of in vitro fertilization (IVF) and other forms of assisted
reproduction do not have a higher risk of cancer than those
conceived naturally, two new studies have found.
In one study, researchers examined data from more than 106,000
children born with the help of assisted reproductive technology
(ART) in the United Kingdom between 1992 and 2008. During the
17-year study period, 108 cancers were identified in the ART
children, which is comparable to the 109.7 cases that would be
expected among the same number of children in the general
However, six of the ART children developed liver cancer,
compared with the 1.83 cases that would be expected in the general
population. This increased risk of liver cancer among ART children
was also associated with a low birth weight, according to the study
presented Tuesday at the annual meeting of the European Society of
Human Reproduction and Embryology, in London.
Overall, the findings are "reassuring news for couples
considering assisted conception, their subsequent children,
fertility specialists and for the wider public health," the
researchers said in a society news release.
"This is the largest study of its kind to be reported and is unique in that the data are derived from a single country and in a homogeneous population. The absence of cancer in children -- or in adults -- can be considered a measure of long-term health resilience, so we are happy to report that in the country where IVF was first successfully applied there is no convincing evidence that ART children are at any greater risk of cancer than those naturally conceived," study principal investigator Alastair Sutcliffe, from the Institute of Child Health in London, said in the news release.
"It is true that we found increased risks of a few rare cancers, but these would need to be studied across large international datasets to confirm if they were genuine findings or just an effect of their very rareness," he added.
Another study presented at the same meeting produced similar
findings. It looked at nearly 93,000 children conceived through IVF
and a control group of naturally conceived children born in three
Nordic countries between 1982 and 2007.
There were 143 cancer cases (19 per 1,000) among the IVF
children and 626 cancer cases (18 per 1,000) in the control group.
The most common cancer diagnosis was leukemia, which occurred in
six per 1,000 of the IVF children and in five per 1,000 of those in
the control group.
The data and conclusions of research presented at medical
meetings should be viewed as preliminary until published in a
peer-reviewed journal.

For example....I make a program that connects to a server and does something.

Geneva, January 22, 2013 – The World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) today announced that Monsanto Company has joined its membership. Monsanto, a leading global provider of technology-based solutions and agricultural products that aim to improve farm productivity and food quality, joins WBCSD and is offering the WBCSD's Business Ecosystems Training (BET) course globally for employees. The BET course will enhance employees' awareness and understanding of the links between ecosystems and business.
Monsanto is working to help find ways to produce more food within the limits of the world's natural systems. A global population expected to grow to 9 billion people by 2050 will mean rising demand for food coupled with increasing strains on natural resources – such as water, arable land and ecosystem services. This requires new agriculture systems and products that are both more productive and more sustainable.
"In joining the WBCSD, Monsanto is taking an important step along a continuum toward developing a more sustainable agriculture system – one that improves our daily lives, respects our global environment and recognizes the importance of the world's small-holder farmers," said Peter Bakker, President, WBCSD. "We must find new ways to protect soils, enhance ecosystems and optimize land use in ways that are environmentally sound. And we must move toward a future vision for agriculture where absolutes become as out of place as a one-size-fits-all approach to farming."
"At Monsanto, our company vision for sustainable agriculture strives to contribute to meeting the needs of the growing population, to protect and preserve natural resources, and to help improve lives," said Jerry Steiner, Executive Vice President, Sustainability and Corporate Affairs at Monsanto. "We are excited to join the WBCSD and connect with a global coalition of more than 200 companies that advocate for progress on sustainable development."
Hugh Grant, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at Monsanto, will represent the company as a WBCSD Council Member. Jerry Steiner, Executive Vice President of Sustainability and Corporate Affairs at Monsanto, is the WBCSD Liaison Delegate. Gabriela Burian, Director of Sustainable Agriculture Ecosystems at Monsanto, leads the company's integration and implementation of WBCSD ecosystem training and tools.

The court on Thursday denied a hospital's request for rehearing in Patricia Cannady's case.
The court previously ruled Cannady could proceed with a lawsuit claiming outrageous behavior by a hospital and three workers who illegally looked at her daughter's medical files, but the court said an invasion of privacy claim must be dropped.
Cannady's lawyer, Gerry Schulze, said they plan to go forward with the suit against St. Vincent Infirmary Medical Center, where Cannady's daughter, Anne Pressly, spent the last days of her life.
Cannady found Pressly unconscious from a severe beating in 2008. She died a few days later.

Angels Short Hops: Game 6
Season ends as Saunders, bats not up to task in Bronx
By Tim Britton / MLB.com
Joe Saunders couldn't get out of the fourth inning on Sunday, and the Angels couldn't mount another comeback against New York starter Andy Pettitte.
Frozen moment
Kendry Morales had the tying run in scoring position and a 3-0 count with two out in the sixth of a 3-1 game, but he took a strike and grounded sharply back to Pettitte to end the threat.
5 -- After totaling only eight doubles during the entire regular season, Jeff Mathis hit his fifth two-bagger in the ALCS in the third inning. Later in the frame, Mathis came around to score L.A.'s first run on Bobby Abreu's single. Game balls
Darren Oliver
Entering with the bases loaded and one out in the fourth, Oliver kept the Angels in the game by inducing a double play from Jorge Posada on his was to delivering 2 2/3 scoreless innings. It was Oliver's longest relief appearance since April.
Vladimir Guerrero
Guerrero was one of the only Angels to look comfortable at the plate all series, collecting three more hits Sunday. He did, however, get caught too far off first base in the second inning on a fly ball to right field, getting doulbed off to squelch one of the few L.A. scoring chances against Pettitte. Guerrero finished the ALCS with 10 hits in 27 at-bats.
Joe Saunders
Saunders was unable to back up his sterling performance in Game 2, allowing more baserunners (12) than outs he recorded (10). He limited the damage to three runs in his 3 1/3 innings, but that was still too much for the Angels' to overcome.
Sense of October
Guerrero's eighth-inning RBI single off Mariano Rivera was the first earned run the Yankees' closer had allowed in a home postseason game since Oct. 22, 2000, against the Mets.
Chone Figgins
Comment: Figgins never really broke out of his postseason slump, finishing the playoffs with three hits in 35 at-bats. He did, however, lead off the eighth with a bloop single off Rivera, coming around to score on Guerrero's two-out single.
Joe Saunders
Comment: Saunders bent in the first three innings before breaking in the fourth, allowing three runs on three hits and three walks while retiring only one hitter. Saunders struggled to find the strike zone all night, throwing 41 of his 83 pitches for balls.
"They capitalized on every mistake we made. Every time we made an error, they scored runs." -- Center fielder Torii Hunter
Next step
After 102 wins in 2009, the Angels will head home and prepare to defend their division title next year.
