Computer Science And Microbiology Research Pays Off For Maryland And Virginia Students With Siemens Competition Regional Win At Massachusetts Institute of Technology
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Months of dedication and hard work in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) paid off tonight for three students named National Finalists in the Siemens Competition in Math, Science & Technology, the nation's premier research competition. Research based on a computer vision approach to geolocating photographs earned top honors and the $3,000 Individual scholarship for Samuel (Sam) Pritt of Walkersville, Maryland. Microbiology research with applications in leishmaniasis vaccine development won the $6,000 Team scholarship for Neil Davey of Gaithersburg, Maryland, and Katie Barufka of Reston, Virginia.
The students presented their research this weekend to a panel of judges from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, host of the Region Five Finals. They are now invited to present their work on a national stage at the National Finals in Washington, DC, December 1-4, 2012, where $500,000 in scholarships will be awarded, including two top prizes of $100,000. The Siemens Competition, a signature program of the Siemens Foundation, is administered by the College Board.
"These students have invested time, energy and talent in tackling challenging scientific research at a young age," said Jeniffer Harper-Taylor, president of the Siemens Foundation. "The recognition they have won today demonstrates that engagement in STEM is an investment well worth making." The Winning Individual Sam Pritt, a home schooled senior, won the individual category and a $3,000 college scholarship for research that addresses an important real-world problem of determining where a photograph was taken. His work has broad potential applications, from tourism and organizing photos on the web to counter-terrorism.
In his project, Geolocation of Photographs by Means of Horizon Matching with Digital Elevation Models, Sam combined his twin passions of computer programming and image processing to develop an algorithm for geolocating photographs by matching the appearance of horizon curves extracted from images to those generated from digital elevation maps (DEMs).
"Sam demonstrated significant initiative and creativity in developing a computer vision approach that uses publicly available DEMs to accomplish 'geo-localization,'" said competition judge Dr. Pawan Sinha, Professor, MIT Department of Brain & Cognitive Sciences. "His initial results are encouraging and he has plans to augment his approach to bring it closer to real-world deployment." Sam is a student intern in the Frederick National Lab for Cancer Research and a student member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). Passionate about playing the piano, he is especially proud of winning the Frederick Regional Youth Orchestra 2012 Concerto Competition. He presented a paper at the IEEE 2012 International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium in Munich, Germany and was a finalist and second place grand award winner at the 2012 International Science and Engineering Fair. Sam plans to major in computer science and pursue a career in chemical or biomedical engineering. He was mentored by his father, Dr. Mark Pritt.
The Winning Team Neil Davey, a junior at Montgomery Blair High School in Silver Spring, Maryland, and Katie Barufka, a senior at Langley High School in McLean, Virginia, won the team category and will share a $6,000 scholarship for research that brings us a step closer to a vaccine for the debilitating infectious disease Leishmaniasis.
In their project, Deletion of Endonuclease G disrupts mitochondrial homeostasis and leads to reduced virulence in the human protozoan parasite Leishmania Mexicana, the team used a technique called "homologous recombination" to 'knock out' the gene EndoG from Leishmania mexicana (the causative agent in cutaneous Leishmaniasis) to reduce the organism's viability. Such an "attenuated" form of Leishmania has the potential to be used as a vaccine.
"Neil and Katie have made an important advance towards the generation of a vaccine for Leishmaniasis," said competition judge Dr. Jagesh V. Shah, Associate Professor of Systems Biology, Harvard Medical School. "Previous attempts at vaccines have suffered from the inability to promote long-lasting immunity or have the effect of causing chronic infection. The team was especially creative in choosing the gene EndoG because they understood that it would cause long-term defects in the organism's viability when in the human host. They were thus able to find a sweet spot where they believe the organism will live long enough to generate an immune response but not long enough to cause an infection." Neil was a finalist at The Indus Entrepreneurs (TIE), a global entrepreneurship competition. He holds two patent applications related to autonomous robots and one protecting the SWAP business plan. Neil tutors students in science, engineering and math and is a member of the varsity tennis team. Fluent in Sanskrit, Gujarat and Hindi, he volunteers and teaches at Samskrita Bharati, a nonprofit organization that promotes spoken Sanskrit. Neil plans to study biochemistry, finance, and/or South Asian Studies. He would like to work in the field of drug and vaccine discovery, and eventually become a CEO of a pharmaceutical company.
Katie has a deeply personal connection to her research. Her mother has struggled with Lyme disease for the past nine years. Similarly to Lyme disease, Leishmaniasis is transferred to humans through an insect bite. Katie's hope was to help towards the goal of developing an effective vaccine. Katie placed first in her high school science fair, earned second place in the regional science fair, and is the winner of a Student Athlete award. She is a member of Science Honor and Leadership Honor Societies and captain of her high school cheer team. She plans to study psychology and nursing in college and is considering becoming a psychologist or nurse.
The team's mentor was Dr. Sreenivas Gannavaram, Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, FDA.
Regional Finalists The remaining regional finalists each received a $1,000 scholarship. Regional Finalists in the individual category were: Amanpreet Kandola, Richmond Hill, New York Jongyoon Lee, Little Neck, New York Aashna Mago, Newtown, Pennsylvania Lijia Xie, Lansdale, Pennsylvania Team Regional Finalists were: Esther Huang and Anna Huang, Houston, Texas Allen Lee and Jason Lee, Short Hills, New Jersey, and David Lu, Henrico, Virginia George Qi and Vinciane Chen, Austin, Texas, and Robert Tung, Plano, Texas Kimberley Yu and Phillip Yu, Plano, Texas The Siemens Competition Launched in 1998, the Siemens Competition is the nation's premier science research competition for high school students. 2,255 students registered to enter the Siemens Competition this year for a total 1,504 projects submitted. 323 students were named semifinalists and 93 were named regional finalists, representing 25 states.

Volume 16 Issue 42 | March 19 - 25, 2004
Koch on Film
By, Ed Koch
Monsieur Ibrahim (+)
The plot is innocuous. A teenage Jewish boy, Momo (Pierre Boulanger), lives with his father, (Gilbert Melki), in a neighborhood replete with ladies of the night. Momo has his rite of passage with one of them, breaking his piggybank to gather the required 35 francs. His father soon abandons him as did his mother when he was an infant. Momos only friend is Monsieur Ibrahim (Omar Sharif), the Arab store keeper across the street who ultimately adopts him and takes him home to Turkey. What befalls the two of them on the way to Turkey makes up the balance of the film. The acting of everyone is impeccable.
It was wonderful to see Omar Sharif on screen, and when he first appears, I definitely heard in my head Laras Theme, from Dr. Zhivago. Regrettably, like the rest of us, time has not stood still for him, and he no longer looks like the handsome Dr. Yuri Zhivago. His eyes are still huge and very luminous, but they are now encased in an old face.
Frankly, you wont miss much if you dont see this flick. But in this current dull period of good new movies, this one is almost heaven sent for someone like me who, as your humble servant, must see at least one movie a week.
Robot Stories (+)
This is a unique four-part film, each segment a separate story.
The first story is about a couple seeking to adopt a baby. The adoption agency gives them a baby robot to take home. Their behavior will be monitored and evaluated at the end of a trial period to determine whether or not they would be suitable parents.
The second tale is of a mother and daughter taking care of the son who is in a coma and whose brain is flat lined. His life had been dominated by robot toys. How this affects his attending mother makes up the central theme.
The third story focuses on the sudden emotion of love between two robots of the opposite sex.
The fourth short centers on the promise of permanent life. Humans, whose brains would be preserved, would continue to function in the bodies of robots.
The stories are intriguing and the acting is excellent. The actors are overwhelmingly Japanese, but the dialogue is in English.

DROID Eris owners holding their breath for a taste of Froyo are sure to be disappointed with Verizon's recent announcement that the latest Android treat will not be making its way to their devices. Though it's always sad to see another Android phones be kicked to the curb by carriers, it's not completely unexpected since Verizon stopped selling the HTC made DROID Eris back in June. We're pretty sure that most enthusiasts who own the Eris will most likely get their Android 2.2 update through XDA-Developers or other online modding communities.
Verizon confirms DROID Eris will be stuck on Android 2.1, no Froyo update in the works

For years nutritionists have been telling us to choose brown rice over white. Well now there's a new player in town – black rice.
Black rice has been consumed in China for centuries. In fact some still call it "forbidden rice" because it was served to the Emperor and was forbidden for anyone else to eat.
The nutritional values in black rice are very similar to those of brown rice, both containing iron and fiber, but black rice also contains anthyocyanins which are plant based pigments that have extremely strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits. Some scientists are even calling black rice the new super food.
Black rice comes in a dark, blackish color but when it is cooked it turns almost a purple-burgundy color because of the presence of the anthocyanins. It is slightly more expensive and takes slightly longer to cook than brown rice but produces the same nutty sweet flavor that is great for serving as a side dish or in stir fries. It is also commonly made into a rice pudding because of its beautiful color. If you cannot find it at your local grocery store – try an Asian market or a reputable online site.
Rice can be such a versatile ingredient, and choosing black rice ensures you get great nutritional value as well as anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits which are fantastic for your body and skin.

Science is not only compatible with spirituality, it is a profound source of spirituality. When we recognize our place in an immensity of light-years and in the passage of ages, when we grasp the intricacy, beauty, and subtlety of life, then that soaring feeling, that sense of elation and humility combined, is surely spiritual. ..Carl Sagan
I'm going with Berdoues Violettes de Toulouse today, and taking Mom out on a mother-daughter "date"-- visiting the local Senior Center to see if they have anything she might like to sign up for, then shopping and lunch.
We're planning to do something together each Tuesday. I also go over briefly each evening to be sure she took her meds. She really needs this; she hasn't really integrated into the community life at her new residence. Being widowed and having to move to a different state at 81 is hard, very hard.
Good Day Everyone. My SOTD is Elizabeth Ardens 'RED DOOR' I always get tons of compliments when I wear this. I try to use a light hand with this scent or it can be a little overwhelming LOL!!
I feel ya, 30 Roses. Right now my mind is on my 95-year-old uncle who entered hospice after the Packer game Sunday. He opted out of treatment, but insisted he not leave ICU until after the game. He's not your typical 95yo -- tough lot this strain of Bohemians. Even after his heart stops, I bet he'll still be chewing the biggest meal ordered from the kitchen on that fateful day. The French call it joie de vivre -- I guess the Germans call it lebensfreude.

Erykah Badu Hits the Beach 42608

The next launch out of Kennedy is on 9/26/2008 at noon Eastern, they're launching the United Launch Alliance Delta 4-Heavy rocket (With a classified spy satellite for the U.S. National Reconnaissance Office as cargo). :3
*takes note of relational discontent*
Well I like the NASA launch idea. It's a ways away so people can plan on that Friday. And more people (searching this fourm) can find out about it and come.
so if people plan on showing, post here, (if we get enough, we may get a group rate ^_^)
I live in Homestead, and i've got four wheels if there's some one car-less and needs a ride, or just wants to car pool to save gas.

Get hype for AOTY 2013 contender number 1. Sunrise really outdid themselves here, with the musical like setup, gorgeous animation and backgrounds, and of course, excellent voice acting work. Episode 1 exceeded my already overhyped expectations. Every scene was well done. Sunrise shock and awe has done it again.
The PV's were all hype. And the anime matched it.
Kotori is the best, of course.

To be quite honest, I only started to watch this show because I wanted to see how its gonna stack up against the other idol show of the season, AKB0048. And one thing that really stood out for me is the voice acting... the seiyuu here are MILES ahead of their counterparts. And with the conflict being started so early and clearly defined, on top of the songs being fun, I think I can go through this show till the end.
Now if only there was a guy so I can ship SOMETHING, it would be perfect.

Well one of the seiyuus does the voice of Aki in Robotics NOTES, the student council president if I'm correct. We got some real good voicework here. This show is already better than AKB0048 for me since I just didn't like that other idol show, but it will never stack up against iDOLM@STER.
It really gave me that Natsuiro Kiseki vibe right away.

That was better than I expected. Decent premise, good voice cast, excellent animation, fun songs. This is shaping up to be a great idol anime.
The three's performance at the end of the episode was quite something. Very random but highly enjoyable.

Don't need a guy to ship just use yuri goggles. I liked episode especially small sprinkles on character traits like small brunette Nico and Maki. I hope Mimorin's character (don't know every name yet) won't end being scapegoat for cheap laughs.
Who did perform the insert song in middle of episode? The beat was suprusingly catchy despite being corny.

OMG they broke out in a song and dance number at the end.......how amazing was that?!!
Been a while since I saw a song and dance break out...hell can't even remember last time I saw one.
Wonder if we'll see different ED for each ep and if they were to be song and dance break out everytime I'd then probably forever praise this as one of the best animes ever!
As far as characters go, Nozomi-chan is still my favorite
Umi-chan became abit of a surprise, rather liking her character alot, along with Kotori-chan as well.
Really liking this atm, might not be as good as Idolm@ster in the end but I think it will be pretty damn good none the less.

IdolM@ster kind of had a few years of games to flesh out the characters and their habits. Love Live has onyl had the music singles and video shorts, so the anime is really the first major thing for this franchise.

The animation for this series is really good, love how the characters all look, and that CGI was awesome.
(the break out at end of ep1 was funny, outta no where, LOL - especially since it doesn't fit how earlier she keeps on falling on her butt practicing)
There sure has been a lot of Idol or Music anime going on the last few seasons (including this season)... LOL
I think is is mostly due to the rise of Idols in Japan (like AKB and such)

I rate this episode 6.5/10, pretty enjoyable but the characters trying too hard to act moe, they also seem to have stereotype moe personality too.
also, I don't understand why some people picking on the dancing ED, I think it just like disney musical scence in their animation movie which didn't really happen and just there to make a nice closure to the episode, do you honestly think they really danced and sing there?

I simply just wandered into the anime one day and loved what I saw from the get go and even to today it is one of the best animes I've watched of recent years, it's got massive entertainment and enjoyment factors for me.
How can you not like song and dance break outs?!!

Well ... um ... hmm.
Not so bad, actually, but somehow I think Idolm@ster has ruined me ... the idols were so alive and real personality wise in that excellent series, and in comparison the other idol based series I have seen since have just plain fallen short.
Series like akb0048 and this one are not "bad" per se, just nowhere near as engaging (or even "convincing" somehow?) for me....
Well, I will give it a try for a few more eps.

Ark. works to reduce prescription drug abuse
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - While prescription drug abuse has declined slightly on a national scale - Arkansas officials say they're working to expand efforts improve public awareness of the danger of addiction and death that can result from such addicitions.
Arkansas Drug Director Fran Flener (FLEE'-ner) says an important element in reducing the potential for abuse is to cut into the supply of available prescription drugs through drug takeback efforts.
Takeback events are regularly held around the state and the state Health Department has purchased 60 secure drop boxes that can provide residents with a way to dispose of unneeded prescription drugs at their convenience.
Flener says Arkansans have turned over more than 32 tons of pills and that education efforts among school-age children are showing signs of succeeding.Copyright 2013 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.

Wouldn't this be Windows CE? That definitely took the world by storm a decade ago.
Thurott is so ingrained in Microsoft-think that even he can't get away from the no compromise/Windows is the most valuable property in tech/just add to it and protect the golden egg thinking that he's recasting the WP8/Win8/Metro schizophrenia problem and coming up with exactly the solution that failed a decade ago (and, sadly, it probably is a better plan than the current one). No wonder Microsoft is nearly irrelevant in this decade.
Edited 2013-02-12 21:24 UTC
Did anybody else notice that Win 8 is just WinCE done backwards? With WinCE you had MSFT trying to force a teeny tiny desktop complete with itty bitty teeny tiny start button on the phone, so when that fails utterly they go "I know, we'll just reverse it!" so now you have a cellphone single tasking OS being jammed onto the desktop...sigh.
Even though I don't own any Apple devices i have to give them credit for realizing that running OSX on the iPhone would have just been dumb so they kept iOS and OSX as two distinct OSes. Sure from what I'm told they work nice together but its not like they just slapped one on the other where the form factor makes no sense for the OS.
Finally MSFT isn't the problem, its Forbes worst CEO Ballmer that is the problem. I mean look at the man's track record, he's had one and a half hits (Win 7 and Xbox 360 is the half as it cost them 2 billion thanks to Ballmer pushing it out the door too early) now look at the failures, Zune, Kin, Sidekick, killing the profitable playsforsure for Zune market, Bing, Vista, that ad company they ended up having to write off billions over, and from the looks of it we can add Surface and Win 8 to that list by the end of the year.
Lets face it, the guy is a trainwreck. No wonder all the old guard like Ozzie and Allchin jumped ship, his entire "strategy" seems to be "What is the other guy doing? Well lets do that but poorly" which is naturally chock full of fail. i swear the longer he is in the big chair the more he reminds me of Dilbert's PHB, following trends he doesn't understand and playing buzzword bingo while not knowing what the buzzwords mean, he is just a disaster.

Leading Edge Productions - Sick Days Review
By Dan Charlesworth
Most kitesurfing videos these days focus on the hardcore moves, the loud music and the quest for adventure. ìSick Daysî is no different in their message but the vision is one of pure power for the addiction of the sport!
Mike Foy in his newest release is able to focus on the soul of the sport, sharing the people, the passion and the evolution of kitesurfing. The video shows the limitless nature of the sport as it progresses through the latest moves, the latest riders and the tropical destinations that they call home. The cinematography combines digital footage and 8mm film, which creates a unique balance sparking visions of epic winds, beautiful people and the freedom of expression that we call kitesurfing.
The crew at Leading Edge Productions uses a unique style in their quest to capture the epic day. By using a vast network of resources they are able to capture top quality footage from all aspects of the industry, highlighting international riders and distant locations from around the globe. The combination of digital footage, 8mm and point of view cameras provide the viewer with a life like experience. Not many of us have been forty plus feet in the air but through the eyes of Foy and his crew we get to join some of the worldís best as they pull off the latest moves and highest jumps.
The sessions in Baja remind me of the old surf classic ìEndless Summerî when Dave Tyburski hits the surf riding a long board, surf trunks and a kite. It appears as if it was shot by Bruce Brown himself during their epic generation changing surf film of the 1960ís. This is by far my favorite part of the film because moments later Tyburski transitions to modern era and is seen charging the shores of Baja. Not your typical scene, but again it strikes a pattern as to where the spirit of this video lies.
Overall a great video featuring the likes of Tyburski, Vari, Koch, Herraiz and Will James! The music provides a mix of funk, rap and rhythm and sets a solid background for the variety of destinations that ìSick Daysî touches on. I think the cover of the DVD says it all:
ìTomorrow is setting up to be epic, only you have to work ñ again. Canít sleep? Restless? Frustrated about not getting any? Your boss doesnít seem to understand? Donít worry, just call in sick and come riding with us ñ weíve got your fix. Maybe you should take the whole week off, just to make it more believableÖî
My only request! More local Canadian footageÖ

There have been plenty of valid concerns regarding the future of computing in regards to UEFI Secure Boot, mainly how it will lock out people wanting to install a Linux distribution. The Linux Foundation has been following the situation, and has decided to take action by purchasing a key from Microsoft, and signing their own small pre-bootloader that will be available to all users of open source.
The Linux Foundation explained their reasoning behind it in a blog post:
"The Linux Foundation is committed to giving users freedom of choice on their platforms. Conforming to this stance, we have already published a variety of tools to permit users to take control of their secure boot platforms by replacing the Platform Key and managing (or replacing) the installed Key Exchange Keys…however, as one of the enablers of the Linux ecosystem, the Foundation recognizes that not everyone is willing (or able) to do this so it was also necessary to find a solution that would enable people to continue to try out Linux and other Open Source Operating Systems in spite of the barriers UEFI Secure boot would place in their way and without requiring that they understand how to take control of their platforms. Therefore, we also formulated a technical plan, which is implemented in this pre-bootloader, to allow distributions to continue functioning in a secure boot environment."
The source code for the pre-bootloader is available at the moment without the key, and you can get using GIT as Loader.c. The Foundation admit that it will take a little time for the key and signature to be obtained, but will update everyone when its been done.

SAO PAULO — Jurgen Klinsmann is confident the return of top American players to Major League Soccer will give a boost to the U.S. national team.
As the U.S. began a 12-day training camp with MLS players in Sao Paulo, where it will be based during the World Cup in June, Klinsmann said the recent returns of Clint Dempsey and Michael Bradley to the league are "exciting" and "huge for football in the United States."
Dempsey joined Seattle in the summer and Bradley signed with Toronto FC this week.
Although Klinsmann indicated in the past he would rather see top American players testing themselves in top leagues overseas, he said Tuesday a stronger MLS benefits the national team.
"We said a couple of years ago that we wanted to be one day in the top 10, top 15 in the world," said Klinsmann, a German who moved to California in 1998. "We have to develop better players, we have to develop better coaches, and it's not going to happen overnight, but we will keep working and the MLS is helping us a lot."
He said MLS is sending a "serious signal" that it wants the best American players back in the United States so it can build a stronger league.
"We are not there yet, and we know that," Klinsmann said. "But it's exciting. The players who are in Europe, many of them some big players, are now back in MLS.
"MLS is getting better every year," he added. "We are working at full pace, hopefully we can prove a lot of good work already this summer."
Klinsmann said it has been crucial for the league to attract strong owners with the financial means to recruit top Americans from Europe.
"People jump in financially, want the best American players in America," Klinsmann said. "Suddenly they bring back a Clint Dempsey from Tottenham, they bring back a Michael Bradley from AS Roma, and they are working on other players as well. This is huge for football in the United States."
Klinsmann is using mostly U.S.-based players in the camp in Sao Paulo, including 10 who helped the Americans qualify for their seventh straight World Cup.
"We can bring more players because the European-based players are not coming in, obviously," Klinsmann said. "So it gives more spots to young players who want to show how good they are. Maybe they can still jump on the train for the World Cup. They all have a point to prove. They all want to prove to me that they deserve to be back during the World Cup."
He said he wants to give the players an early chance to get to know Brazil ahead of the soccer's biggest tournament.
"This is a wonderful opportunity for us," Klinsmann said after the team's first practice session at the training center of Sao Paulo Futebol Clube.
"It gives us the opportunity to be already at the facility we are going to stay in the World Cup, to get to know the hotel we are going to stay at and to get a feeling for the country," Klinsmann said.
He even wants his staff to start learning Portuguese in order to know some basic words by the time the team returns.
The Americans will stay in Brazil until Jan. 25 before heading home for an exhibition against South Korea on Feb. 1 at Carson, Calif., where they began their 11th annual January training camp last week.
The U.S. opens the World Cup against Ghana on June 16, plays Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal six days later and closes the group stage against Germany on June 26.

X-Ring Newsletter
Technical Newsletter From Your Ballistic TechniciansVolume 6, Issue 3
How Accurately Will My Firearm Shoot?
Customers call every day, asking this question - even with our competitor's bullets. Some even get upset when we refuse to jump off of that high cliff. Folks, we don't have a crystal ball and surely you aren't that gullible. There are so many variables involved with interior ballistics that it can boggle the mind of even those who work in this field, let alone the lay person who is hoping to get a respectable shooter. The criteria or perception of accuracy is as varied as the number of shooters.
Nobody can predict what a firearm is capable of before shots are fired, nobody. Not a barrel maker, the factory, or custom gunsmith until it's actually fired.
Get out there and do some shootin', then you will know.
INFINITY Update at www.sierrabullets.com
Sierra's INFINITY Exterior Ballistic Computer Software program has been enhanced with new bullet information from the bullet companies and ammunition manufacturers. You may download the new bullet information from the Sierra Bullets web site beginning August 1, 1999. Please follow the downloading directions carefully to ensure proper application. Owner's of INFINITY v. 1.0 and INFINITY Suite v. 1.2.1 will have all the new bullets added this year.

SEOUL — In the latest sign of heightened tensions on the Korean peninsula, Pyongyang cut off a hotline between North and South Korea and said it had torn up the nations' cease-fire accord, signed in 1953, after the U.S. and South Korea kicked off joint military drills at midnight.
The 11-day drill, dubbed "Key Resolve," is an annual exercise involving more than 13,000 U.S. and South Korean troops who rehearse for a possible conflict in the region. Last week, a North Korean agency in charge of border affairs with the South announced it would void the armistice ending the Korean War and sever the phone link if the drills were carried out as planned.
North and South Korean officials normally exchange telephone calls twice a day via the hotline in the demilitarized zone separating the countries, calling around 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. to mark the beginning and end of work hours. On Monday, South Korea's Unification Ministry confirmed that attempts to contact the North by telephone at 9 a.m. had failed.
The Monday edition of the North Korean party newspaper, Rodong Sinmun, announced the annulment of the cease-fire agreement and said the "time for the final showdown has arrived." The state-run Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea called the drill "the most blatant provocation" and said the area was now "without brakes to stop war."

The hook on this pint-sized video device is that it's a DLP ultra-short-throw pico projector. The company says that it should be able to project images five to 10 times larger than the average pico projector, depending on your distance. As an example, QP Optoelectronics says that the device can deliver a 50-inch image from about 20 inches away.
"Consumers are wanting to have the largest displayed image possible at even the closest distances, such as desk surface, table cloth, or even someone's hand," said James Lupino, QP Optoelectonics' VP of business development. "Our innovations and this product in particular is the first to solve this demand of consumers and we expect that it will appeal to most users who expect pico-projectors to produce a big screen display in close proximity."
QP Optoelectronics plans to start selling CloudView in the second quarter of 2013. The company will have CloudView on display at next month's 2013 International CES. The company also plans to show CloudView with 3D screen technology, although no other info about that option has been announced.

New Details About Deadly Ambush In Niger
By Hector Gonzales
October 12, 2017
A new report says the 4 U.S. soldiers ambushed and killed in Niger last week suspected they were being intentionally delayed by villagers before the attack. The Green Berets had just met with local leaders when they came under fire. CNN reports that the 12-man team was attacked by around 50 ISIS fighters. One of the dead, Sergeant La David Johnson, was at one point separated from the group and his body was missing for 2 days. A Pentagon spokesman said that intelligence reports had said it was unlikely that there was going to be any contact with the enemy the day of the attack.
Otherwise, he said the Army would have devoted more resources ahead of time.

The subject of the work is the abduction of Psyche from her desolate mountaintop by the god of the west wind, Zephyrus, whilst she is lulled into a deep sleep" (7).

Barbados is a coral island, pushed out of sea by volcanic activity in a far away time. On the West Coast, beaches of fine white sand stretch along a blue-green sea. Coral reefs fringe coast providing excellent snorkeling and Scuba Diving. Along the East Coast a lively surf is blown briskly by the strong and constant trade winds and the waves pound against a rocky shore. The constant breeze of the trade winds gives the island a mild and pleasant tropical climate.
When you visit, you will see it is mostly a flat coral island with excellent beaches, but there are also rolling hills and many deep ridges and gullies, with an interesting distribution of flora and fauna. Within the coral core there is a vast array of caves and underground lakes which provide an excellent supply of drinking water that is amongst the purest in the world. Geologically Barbados is unique, being actually two land masses that merged together over the years. This and other anomalies make this Caribbean island quite phenomenal, and there are geological structures that you will find only here.
Our beautiful island offers lots of art, activities, night life, music, history and some of the best restaurants to be found anywhere. But what makes Barbados even more special, and the reason why so many visitors keep returning to the island year after year, is the people.
Barbadians, called Bajans, are warm and friendly souls, always ready to greet you with a sincere smile. Barbadians make you feel welcome and special. You will feel that it is your home and will want to come back again and again. We truly are a unique Caribbean paradise, surprisingly sophisticated, friendly, fun and always Naturally Charming!

Wrapping Up My Weekend At Barber
The Indy Grand Prix of Alabama is now in the books and I came away with a mostly positive experience. First of all, hats off to the promoter of this event. When I was there on Friday, I heard a few fans grumbling about some of the parking situations. By the time we returned on Sunday, the problems had been rectified. For a first time event, things operated very smoothly and the vast amount of volunteers who worked there went out of their way to make sure all the guests were taken care of.
Now for the negative; from my vantage point overlooking turns two and three and based on the glimpses I could get from the TV monitor – it looked as if most people's predictions of a parade came true. At the time of this writing, I have not seen the TV broadcast, but from what I saw live – it seemed to be a race that was decided by the speed of the pit crews as well as pit strategy.
This was my first race as an attendee at a road course. I'm not going to say I didn't like it, but it was a totally different experience from the oval races I have been to. It was a more laid back crowd, as they were content to sit on blankets on the grass and have either a picnic or a few adult beverages while watching the race. However, the crowd in Birmingham certainly seemed to be more schooled in the Izod IndyCar Series drivers and teams than the fans at the oval race in Nashville, which is my closest point of reference to this race. Indy is a whole different animal and cannot be used in a fair comparison to any other event. I was a little surprised that most of them began to pack up their things at around lap 60 of the scheduled 90, but maybe that's the road course way.
The Alabama fans all seemed to know who the drivers were and didn't seem at all bothered with the lack of passing. Plus, they all were dressed in either IndyCar garb or T-shirts emblazoned with the event logo. There were very few NASCAR themed T-shirts from stock car fans who felt the need to make a statement, like we usually got in Nashville. These fans seemed to get what this event was all about. And believe me, this entire weekend was an event. I have business acquaintances in the area that said the race was heavily promoted and the city was very happy to have it.
Yes, I would say the track needs some work. I'm not smart enough to know exactly what track modifications need to be made. I'll defer to others on that, but it doesn't take an engineer to know that better passing zones need to be created. If they can get that squared away, this will become a top stop on the circuit each year. The Izod IndyCar Series needs more venues where they are embraced by the local communities. So many times, an IndyCar race is treated as an inconvenience by some tracks. Here, they were certainly welcomed.
Media Experience: This was my first time to attend an event with media credentials. It was certainly an interesting experience, albeit somewhat intimidating at times. On Friday, I was wandering the pits with all of the hustle and bustle going on. Even though I was totally within my rights to be in there – I felt in the way, because I was not interviewing anyone at the time or "covering" a particular story. I felt that to be hanging around just because I could, would have been abusing the privilege that I had been granted, so I left the pit area.
On Sunday, I was in the pits prior to the race and again felt a little out of place as I saw Curt Cavin, Kevin Lee, Robin Miller and the Versus crew all running around doing their duties. This time I stayed though, until the first lap of the race and then migrated to turns two and three. With about fifteen laps to go, I made my way back to the main straight to take in victory lane. My trusted photographer, Susan Scruggs, got some great shots of winner Helio Castroneves and the entire celebration. I'll post the rest of the weekend camera shots to the flickr account on the home page of this site, later this week.
I must confess to succumbing to the trappings of where I was and committing a bush-league act of a rookie. Shortly after Lindy Thackston's interview with Helio, Jack Arute interviewed Tim Cindric directly behind me. I couldn't resist the temptation. Instead of playing it cool and going about my business, I involuntarily found myself turning around and facing the camera right over Tin Cindric's shoulder. All I could imagine was my family saying "Good God! There he is." I was jarred back to my senses when the cameraman motioned me away and mouthed "Get out of the way", with a look that would kill. Much to my dismay, my brother had recorded the race so I made an idiot out of myself for nothing. But if you recorded it, and you see a sunburned middle-aged guy acting like an adolescent fool – that's me. I hope such a rookie move doesn't get me barred from covering future events.
More name dropping: One of the more flattering things I've had happen to me, occurred on Sunday morning. I was in the media center again helping myself to the free food, when Dave Lewandowski of IndyCar.com walked up and introduced himself to me. I looked at my badge to see if it had my name on it. It didn't. Again, like a rookie – I asked how he knew who I was and he said he recognized me from my blog. Wow! That was pretty heady. It would be easy to let this stuff go to my head, but all I have to do is remember my brain-freeze on Friday with Randy Bernard to bring myself back down to earth.
One person that I certainly wanted to meet Friday was Kevin Lee. He is the only one I had made an effort to e-mail that I wanted to try and meet up with. He and I have swapped many e-mails over the past year and talked on the phone, but had never met. We sent text messages back and forth on Sunday until we finally met up. No disrespect to anyone else I met this weekend, but meeting Kevin just seemed like talking to an extension of his radio show. It was like a couple of friends that knew each other just standing around talking racing. Later, I caught his eye in the pits while he was in the middle of doing his IMS Radio broadcast, and he mouthed "Hi, George" as he walked by. He's truly one of the good guys.
All in all: It was one of the most enjoyable weekends I've ever had. It was almost surreal being in the inner sanctum of the sport I've followed pretty much all of my life. I felt like a kid, and couldn't believe where I was at times. If I ever do this again, I'll go with more of an agenda other than just taking it all in. But I really appreciate the comments I've gotten this weekend as everyone has put up with my self-indulgence. Later this week, I'll come back down to earth, actually discuss the race after I watch the broadcast and things will become normal again. Thanks for following my weekend.

Well, even though I have a ticket to the Barber race in hand, I wasn't able to make it to the race. Sometimes having a job really gets in the way at a very inconvenient time! I forgot to set my DVR and only finished my work for the day after the race started. I was only able to start watching on lap 15. I counted all of the passes that happened on track that I saw on the TV coverage. I didn't count when someone had a spin and got passed like Simona towards the end or a pass when someone had just gotten out of the pits. I did count when a lapped car got passed on the track (yes both cases of Milka getting passed on both sides counted!). There were more than a few times when it looked like a car was going to be passed, then the TV went somewhere else and later I saw that a pass did happen. I didn't count those because I never saw the actual pass on TV. The total number of on track passes I counted starting from lap 15 was 32. Like I said, there were more during the race, but the TV didn't catch all of them and it never will catch them all. All in all, it was a good race. I think if the track was a little wider there would have been more passing, but there was quite a bit of action during the race. It wasn't a parade as MANY people were thinking it was going to be. While the track looked amazing on TV, you can tell it wasn't necessarily designed with car racing in mind. Even though it was first meant for motorcycles, it produced a good race and it'll probably get much better in the future.
I was REALLY hoping Marco would have won this one. Penske has gotten three in a row now. I know George is happy with that, but I just wish they would give someone else a chance before we get to the oval portion of the schedule and they continue to win everything.
Milka doesn't belong in the car. Her performance is laughable. What a joke!
Hi Stephen,
I don't think the circuit needs to widened as such, but if some of the slower corners were tightened a little, there may be more room for passing – but then again it all depends on approach and entry too
The fans were happy to see Helio climb the fence…
The "new look" is still too new and shiny…I like the older vitage stuff..looking forward to Bobby Rahal's Lotus event there-
Mr. Barber is a classic and what a fantastic addition to this series-moving forward.
I thought Scott Dixon had this race and it looked as if he thought so too.
Saw you on TV, after it was pointed out by someone else and I went back to look again. It was the sort of thing where you wouldn't notice if you weren't looking for it.
If you end up watching the TV coverage, you may be surprised at the passing that was picked up. The race turned out to be better than I'd anticipated.
And they even had a pre-race piece about the giant bugs.
I agree with Tom, George. You do a fine job writing from your perspective and that's what makes it unique.
My thoughts: beautiful venue, I like it that the IIRS is there. But I do hope they tweak it a bit before next year. it was funny/scary to see drivers going around Duno on both sides–"the Duno sandwich"–but I really think she and her sponsor should be sent to the minors. I'm disappointed that Versus has dropped coverage of Indy Lights. Good to hear that Bernard is approachable and confident–seems like a good hire. Restarts bug me–are they supposed to be single file or two by two? They just always seem messy. I liked Barber's version of "start your engines." And while it sucks that Penske is so good–it's encouraging that other teams seem to be stepping it up a bit.
George, you wrote an excellent recap and after this past weekend and the work you have put in I would say get used to it. I look forward to the growth of Oilpressure.com and your future observations because of your being closer to the series that we are al so passionate about. In my opinion, there isn't a better scribe.
George, I think you are much too modest. You are a pretty good scribbler. My dad always told me not to spend too much time beating up on myself because there will always be others willing to do it.
Anyway, yeah, great venue, great crowd, but the race was just a parade like too many street and road courses. Why the designers seldom lay out these tracks to allow for more passing is beyond me. The scenery at Barber is beautiful, much like Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, but Road America has many more places to pass. Hopefully Mr. Barber can make some changes to the track to allow more passing next year.
Should have been Marco's race. He appears to be very focused this season and very fast.
When you were wandering around the pits, did you notice how the Penske equipment reflects the captain's precision approach to everything? There is never a speck of dirt on anything. He usually has about five of those little scooters lined up in such a straight row that it appears someone used a surveyor' transit to line them up.
Keep up the good work. If we want to read aging boomers vicariously reliving their drug-addled past through Hobbs we know where to go. (Just kidding Roy) LOL
You should NEVER feel inferior to Robin Miller.
George, you have brought one of the most unique perspectives to a race weekend I have ever read. Not only have you told us what its like being at the track but you have given us all a glimpse into the behind the scenes world without the highbrow opinions of the pro journalists. I hope you get to go to more races this year and give us some more insights. Keep up your good work. I love this blog!!!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts George. I don't always agree with you but I respect your very well thought out opinions and observations. You bring a perspective that isn't seen anywhere else and I really appreciate it.
I saw on tv that a lot of people had left before the end of the race and was very surprised. I wish this race was about 10 laps shorter so it a two stop race for everyone and no fuel saving. I think the end of the race was hurt by Andretti, Helio, and Dixon not really challenging each other because they had to save fuel to make it to the end.
Just looked at "the official" new blog…must say that you do a much better job, George. The new blog is too pretty, too offical, and screams "control".
If you went "official" you would have to do what you were told and write what they told you to write-
How boring is that?
great venue, but no way that was a great race unless you're a fan of pit strategery or qualifying. It is a beautiful race course but they need to make some minor adjustments to add to the competition.
Great write-ups from the track, George. I'm looking forward to more of the same from you in the future.
And don't feel too bad about the victory lane thing. 1) It wasn't that bad. If I weren't looking for you, I'd have thought it was just some guy wandering around back there, unaware that Cindric was being interviewed…which happens about once every four races. Somebody's always in the background of the shot. At least you weren't waving to the camera. 2) You're not alone there. One of the only times I've had pit access for a race, I wandered around behind Wayne Taylor pretty egregiously while drinking a Gatorade, simply because I knew he was being interviewed by ESPN. There's something about a TV camera being present that turns me into an 8 year old. Anyway, the tape of my one and only televised racing appearance is floating around in my basement to this day.
Loved it, George! Keep up the great work! Your perspective is unique and fun!
I would like to see any of the naysayers, especially the ones who make statements like there is no talent involved here, complete one lap at speed at Barber (never mind 90)…. The same armchair quarterbacks many of us must endure listening to every Monday here on the job, who couldn't throw a football 50 feet, (much like many sports commentators) make equally outrageous comments with regard to driving high performance open wheel autos. It's kind of like watching Darrel Waltrip sitting in front of a group of former Daytona 500 winners, some of which were also former Champ car and Formula One champions and saying with a straight face, that NASCAR unequivocally was the most difficult form of auto racing…. Please, give it a rest folks….
Need to make a name change -"BentWickerbill"
very derogatory-
Sounds like GP's syntax but not believable…
Going rogue?
Dear Solar System,
I doubt that you actually even know what a wickerbill is, or it's function for that matter, but I do know that it is high time for you to take the needle out of your arm and place it back on the victrola, I think we would all much rather listen to the music.
Dictionary definition of "whickerbill" is derogatry.
Rather unsophisticated for adult motorsports-
Again, it is best to first remove the needle from your arm to ensure getting the spelling correct.
A wickerbill not a whickerbill is as follows:
The Gurney Flap (or wickerbill) is a small flat tab projecting from the trailing edge of a wing. Typically it is set at a right angle to the pressure side surface of the airfoil,[1] and projects 1% to 2% of the wing chord.[2] This trailing edge device can improve the performance of a simple airfoil to nearly the same level as a complex high-performance design.[3]
The device operates by increasing pressure on the pressure side, decreasing pressure on the suction side, and helping the boundary layer flow stay attached all the way to the trailing edge on the suction side of the airfoil.[4] Common applications occur in auto racing, helicopter horizontal stabilizers, and aircraft where high lift is essential, such as banner-towing airplanes.[5]
Perhaps it's time to put your blogging crayon down and get your mind out of the gutter….
Freudian slip perhaps?
Having to explain what is the obvious
but last years definition-
Sadd at best
A name change is needed-
Also, since Simona was 5th place almost the entire race which the average speed was 105 mph…and she spun out…does that make her a legend in the making?
She is fantastic BTW, just as great as the other fifth place driver-
I've been to several street races at St Pete and Denver. The actual race is just a part of the entertainment. I really enjoy the ability to wander around and watch from different vantage points and move along when the need arises. People watching, teams or spectators, is much better at these events too. The access allowed if you have a paddock pass is great. I have many high-level autographs that I could never hope for during a Nascar or F1 event, which I've also attended. To me, the only benefit of ovals is the ability to see the whole track, but after the lapping of cars begin, it's difficult to know who is exactly in what place.

Melbourne, Australia, Oct 29: Cricket Australia said Saturday that former test opener Simon Katich will face possible sanctions under its code of behavior for making "detrimental public comment" about his strained relationship with captain Michael Clarke.
Cricket Australia chief executive James Sutherland said in a statement he was "surprised and disappointed" to see comments made by Katich after new full-time national selector John Inverarity indicated the door was not closed to Katich for future selection.
On Friday, the 36-year-old Katich said a dressing room altercation he had with then vice-captain Clarke following the Sydney test against South Africa in 2009 would prevent him from ever playing again for Australia. Katich said the incident was a key factor behind his Cricket Australia contract not being renewed in June.
Katich, when asked about Inverarity's comment that "the book is closed on nobody," said: "It's pleasing to hear, but I think you don't have to be Einstein to figure out it's not just the selectors that had a part in sending me on my way, so that's one of those things."
Asked who else played a part, Katich, who had a century for New South Wales in a domestic first-class match Friday, replied: "To be brutally honest, what happened in the dressing room here a few years ago probably didn't help my cause."
Cricket Australia said it "emphatically refutes any suggestion that Michael Clarke influenced the independent selection panel's recommendations for the 2011-12 CA contract players' list. The suggestions made by Katich are completely erroneous, inappropriate and unfair to Clarke, the selectors and to CA."
Sutherland said details of Katich's hearing will be released in the next few days.
Katich said Friday he had not spoken to Clarke about the incident.
Asked if he thought he would be part of the team while Clarke is still there, Katich said: "I wouldn't have thought so, because that's probably why I'm in this position in the first place."
Katich has scored 4,188 runs at an average of 45.03 from 56 tests for Australia.
He was dropped from the national squad for the first time in 2007 and told that his test career was all but over. Katich responded by scoring a record 1,509 runs in the domestic Sheffield Shield, earning a test recall.
