Lebanon Appeals Attorney
We File Appeals in New York and across the Nation
Receiving a verdict or decision in any Court of Criminal Appeals of New York that you do not agree with can be terrifying. From being convicted of a crime or receiving the losing hand in a divorce, nothing is more devastating than hearing the judge announce from his seat that your rights are being taken from you. Even though it might feel like there is no hope, it is not the end.
Many people mistakenly think that when a judge gives a decision, they can't pursue further action. Our experienced trial attorneys and appeallate lawyers at Halscott Megaro PA can help you take additional steps in trial and appellate courts and and assist in continuing to fight for the decision you want.
Legal Representation in Lebanon You Can Rely On
While our office is located in Orlando , we are capable of handling cases in Lebanon and several states throughout the country. Our criminal and civil appeals attorneys have handled approximately 3,000 cases over the past 12 years, and we can use our experience in criminal justice and appellate law to your advantage.
We are able to practice appellate law and criminal justice defense in all 13 of the federal circuits and all military courts includng trial and appellate courts around the country. Our team of appeal attorneys can walk you through your appeal and, if we believe the first court decision was not fair or involved errors, we can explain why. We handle all types of appellate cases, though we tend to center our focus on appellate law and criminal law. We can help people in Lebanon with felony, misdemeanor, or other criminal case convictions in Lebanon who would like to challenge the court on the verdict that was given.
We also help people in Lebanon with appeals for other types of cases,
such as:
- Probate
- Family law
- Juvenile law
- Tort, contract and real property law
- Civil cases
- Revenue or tax issues
- Administrative agency decisions
Often in the practice of criminal law we run into the question of, "Is this something I can do on my own?" However, the truth of the matter is that in the practice of appellate law and criminal law, we often only have one chance to do things and do them correctly.
So while the answer is yes, you do have the right to do things on your own, or "pro se" as it is referred to, the practice of law, and appellate law in particular, is very complex and time sensitive. Each state, including New York, has very specific appellate rules and procedures that you must abide by. Because of this, we always recommend that you choose to go with an appellate attorney that you feel comfortable with. One that will listen to your concerns but will also have the legal experience required to go through each line of transcripts, each exhibit presented and find the crucial errors that could result in your conviction being reversed.
Criminal appeals in Lebanon NY, as well as criminal cases in general are already complex in nature, however if you are facing criminal charges on the federal level that's a whole new ball game with a new set of rules, procedures and deadlines. Our firm has trial attorneys that are not only experienced with criminal trial level cases and criminal appeals, but also have the knowledge and experience to defend you and your loved ones on the federal stage as well.
If you have lost a civil or criminal litigation case in the state of New York, there may be legal and legitimate reasons for filing an appeal in court. Our federal and state appellate attorneys at Halscott Megaro PA, have experience taking criminal cases to a jury trial in New York, we have extensive criminal trial advocacy skills and provide quality representation and legal counsel for residents of Lebanon NY who are either filing for an appeal of the decision of their litigation case, or a party served with a notice of appeal of a civil or criminal case they have won at trial. To get started give a us call today! Case preparation is critical to any successful litigation, in most cases an appeal is started by filing a notice of appeal with the clerk of the trial court no later than 10 days after the judgment becomes final.

DeleGate is a multi-purpose application level gateway or proxy server that mediates communication of various protocols, applying cache and conversion for mediated data, controlling access from clients, and routing toward servers. It translates protocols between clients and servers, converting between IPv4 and IPv6, applying SSL (TLS) to arbitrary protocols, merging several servers into a single server view with aliasing and filtering. It can be used as a simple origin server for some protocols (HTTP, FTP, and NNTP).
Arno's IPTABLES Firewall Script is a secure stateful firewall for both single and multi-homed machines. It supports NAT and SNAT, port forwarding, ADSL ethernet modems with both static and dynamically assigned IPs, MAC address filtering, stealth port scan detection, DMZ support, protection against SYN/ICMP flooding, experimental IPv6 support, multi-interface/aliased-IP support, and extensive user definable logging with rate limiting to prevent log flooding. It has plugin support to add extra features (like SSH Brute Force protection and (Racoon) IPSEC support). It is easy to configure and highly customizable. A filter script that makes your firewall log more readable is also included.
Webfwlog is a Web-based firewall log reporting and analysis tool. It allows users to design reports to use on logged firewall data in whatever configuration they desire. Included are sample reports as a starting point. Reports can be sorted with a single click, or "drilled-down" all the way to the packet level, and saved for later use. Supported log formats are netfilter, ipfilter, ipfw, ipchains, Cisco routers, Snort, and Windows XP. Netfilter support includes ulogd MySQL or PostgreSQL database logs using the iptables ULOG or NFLOG target.
fwknop implements an authorization scheme called Single Packet Authorization that requires only a single encrypted packet to communicate various pieces of information, including desired access through an iptables, ipfw, or pf firewall policy and/or specific commands to execute on the target system. The main application of this program is to protect services such as SSH with an additional layer of security in order to make the exploitation of vulnerabilities much more difficult. The authorization server works by passively monitoring authorization packets via libpcap. Also supported is a robust port knocking implementation based around iptables log messages.
FrazierWall Linux is a single floppy distribution Linux firewall that is based on the Linux Router Project. It is designed for use with ethernet base internet connections (such as cable modems or xDSL lines). It allows you to share such a connection with several other computers on a LAN. It is easy to setup and maintain, and is available in a Linux configurable software version.
XOTcl provides a highly flexible, reflective, component-based object oriented environment that integrates language support for high level object oriented concepts (which are not found in other languages) with reasonable performance. XOTcl is an extension of TCL and was derived from the impressive OTcl language developed by D. Wetherall and C. Lindblad at MIT in 1995 and extended in various ways. XOTcl's language constructs explicitly aim at the complexity in a component gluing layer that is not solved by traditional object orientation in the style of C++ or Java.
Astaro Portscan Detection is a netfilter target which will attempt to detect TCP and UDP port scans and log them to syslog. This target is based upon Solar Designer's scanlogd. It suppports mutliple levels of logging, custom prefixes for entries, weighted total port scan detection, and port scan temporal spread detection.
Harm acts as a four-way socket redirector that allows you to effectively make a TCP connection from the Internet to a host behind a Linux masquerade-style firewall. The server (behind the firewall) makes connections to the client (on the Internet). After a successful connection, it will bounce packets from a telnet client (Windows and Linux) to the Harm client, to the Harm server (Linux only), or to the telnet daemon behind the firewall.

8.2-megapixel CMOS sensor delivers 3,504 x 2,336 pixel images
8.5 frames-per-second for up to 48 frames in one burst
SD/MMC and CompactFlash (Type I and II) compatibility
New larger 2.5 inch LCD screen can be viewed even at extreme angles up to 170 degrees
Many new user-requested features, including RAW + JPEG recording on separate memory cards, easy switching between memory cards and user-set file prefixes
(From company literature)
Canon's new EOS-1D Mark II N can record 8.5 frames-per-second for up to 48 frames in one burst. It features Canon's proven 8.2 Megapixel CMOS sensor with a 1.3x conversion factor, combined with the speed and intelligence of the DIGIC II Image Processor, all in a rock-solid, metal body. Adding the ability to record RAW and JPEG images on different memory cards, a larger 2.5 inch LCD, Canon's "Picture Style" technology and more, the 1D Mark II N's formidable combination of speed and resolution makes it the choice of pros everywhere.
With its continuous shooting speed of approximately 8.5 frames-per-second, the EOS-1D Mark II N is the world's fastest Digital SLR camera*. This record-breaking speed is achieved even when recording in the Large JPEG setting (approx. 3,504 x 2,336 pixels) - a major triumph. 8.5 fps are maintained during maximum bursts of 48 shots (22 shots in RAW). Bursts are first recorded to the cameras internal memory to ensure maximum speed and then transferred to memory cards for storage. The number of shots remaining during a burst is displayed on the right side of the viewfinder.
Photographers can expect an exceptional degree of performance and reliability on par with any film camera they've ever used. Speedy shooting is achieved with lightning-fast 45-point AF, sophisticated tracking and predictive AF technology combined with precise, instant metering, no matter the setting. Shutter lag is a paltry 55 milliseconds. Starting up in 0.2 sec., the EOS-1D Mark II N demonstrates its speed immediately.
Canon's in-house designed single-plate CMOS sensor with 8-channel reading technology delivers exceptional image quality and accelerated continuous shooting. Large and extremely sensitive, with approximately 8.2 million effective pixels (8.5 million total pixels) and a generous 28.7 x 19.1mm image size, it faithfully captures every nuance of your scene from highlights to shadows. Moreover, extensive noise reduction ensures an extremely high S/N ratio. Framing is natural because the sensor's 3:2 aspect ratio is the same as in 35mm cameras, and the sensor's large size realizes an effective angle of view that's just 1.3 times the focal length indicated on Canon EF lenses.
The revolutionary DIGIC II Image Processor complements the EOS-1D Mark II N 's speed in capturing images by processing and saving them with similar speed and precision. Compatible with DDR SDRAM, the DIGIC II processor achieves super high speed processing that results not only in fast shooting, but also accurate processing. This single-chip image processor employs original Canon algorithms to accurately convert signals from the CMOS sensor into crisp, high-quality images with natural colour and rich gradation. By handling larger volumes of image data, DIGIC II even contributes to lower power consumption: approximately 1,200 shots can be taken on a full battery at 68° F/20° C, or around 800 shots at 32° F/0° C.
Designed as a serious tool for professionals, the EOS-1D Mark II N performs reliably in the most demanding shooting conditions. Its handsome body offers the same high durability as the EOS-1Ds Mark II, thanks to rigid magnesium alloy in the chassis and external covers (top, front, rear and memory card slot cover). The magnesium alloy also contributes to effective electromagnetic shielding, a long-lasting luxurious finish, and extremely low body weight that photographers will surely appreciate.
Exceptional durability extends to the inner mechanisms as well, which are shielded from dust and water by protective sealing on all exposed moving parts. Shutter durability of up to 200,000 shutter cycles, ensures the 1D Mark II N will survive almost any situation, for years to come.
The EOS-1D Mark II N features a newly-designed 230,000 pixel, 2.5 inch LCD screen which provides a bigger image for playback and can be viewed 170° from all angles. Advances in playback include zooming from any AF point, an improved magnified view, and more shot information in the display.
The EOS-1D Mark II N incorporates a number of user-requested improvements such as an interchangeable matte focusing screen for critical focus in low light. ISO values can now be changed in the viewfinder, allowing the photographer to change settings without taking the camera from their eye. The 1D Mark II N has two memory card slots, one for CompactFlash (CF) and one for Secure Digital (SD) memory, and has the ability to record JPEG and RAW images on different memory cards, simultaneously. These improvements, plus all the shooting modes of the EOS 1 line and shutter speeds from 1/8000 to 30 sec. and bulb make it clear that the1D Mark II N is an incredibly adaptable photographic tool.
The EOS-1D Mark II N is one of the easiest cameras to customize to a photographer's personal style of shooting. Six "Picture Style" settings simulate the characteristics of different film styles, including Snapshot mode, for punchy, print-from-the-camera colour, Portrait mode, for softer, more natural skin tones; Landscape, for vivid blues and greens and overall sharpness, plus Neutral, Faithful and Monochrome, which can be customized to emulate colour filters with black and white film.
By selecting different sharpening parameters, photographers can further ensure that their images will look exactly as they like, right out of the camera, expediting time-sensitive projects where post-processing is unnecessary or inconvenient.

fast, responsive, solid build, great image quality, what's not to like here???
controls puzzling at first
After spending years with a 30D, I knew what I was going to need. As I had neither money nor real wish to save for a newer body, I went for this one (used but almost pristine).
This is a perfect tool. If there's something wrong with pictures I get, it's me. The 30D was by no means bad, but heck, this one is just a class above everything and anything.
I know just slapping 10/10 on everything is sorta newbie-ish, but I do this wholeheartedly. I would have given it a 20/10.

Build, speed, proformance, IQ, the black box, viewfinder
Man, coming from the DC290, F828, 20D, 30D, 1D this camera is the BOMB. It is so much better than I expected. I thought I was happy when I opened the box, when I saw the first pictures from the "N" I knew this is where I was supposed to be.
I like the bigger screen and the new features for the dual cards. This camera tracks so much better then the 1D or the 30D, my sports keeper rate went up 25%. The buffer on the "N" is great the 1D just didn't have enough room.
I was amazed at the AF speed and the FPS, the 30D is no slouch but this is it. I'm plannig on buying a second one and just using 1-series cameras from here on. I don't have a problem with the size or the weight of this camera it fits me perfectly even with large lenses it's perfectly balanced.
I debate about a MkIII but after hereing about all the AF problems I'm glad I got this one. This is the best camera I've ever owned bar none. Don't try it unless you are ready to buy it, it's just that good.

Here is the different between a VT3-725 and a VT2-625 supercharger setup, both on DCT M3's with meth in SAE correction:
645 wheel for the built motor setup and 586 wheel for the stock internal setup. VT2-650 kits claim to be over 600 wheel on stock internals so one has to ask themselves if it is worth the cost to build a motor for only 50 wheel horsepower? $15,000+ on top of the supercharger kit for 50 wheel? Sure this power will likely be more reliable but one has to scratch their head at this price for performance ratio. It certainly makes sense to upgrade to a VT3 setup if one were to take the stock motor too far though.
The Vortech blower used here is approaching its limit. For a built motor application, it would seem to be a bit undersized as 12 psi is not providing all that much versus the 7.5 psi of the stock internal kit partially due to the lower compression. To really see solid gains a bigger blower is necessary. Gintani has shown up to 16.5 psi with a Vortech YSI thus far and higher dyno results on the lower reading Dyno Dynamics dyno.
Hopefully a comparison of the three major built motor setups will be able to be made soon.

Youth Sports Psychology Session to be held at 2013 US Youth Soccer National Championships
July 16, 2013 01:27 PM
Free session focuses on creating best environment for young players to succeed
Two sessions available to parents, coaches and team managers of Under-13 teams
FRISCO, Texas (July 16, 2013)
— US Youth Soccer is proud to announce it will be hosting a free, innovative youth sports psychology education session for adults associated with the Under-13 age group, added this year, at the 2013 US Youth Soccer National Championships, presented by the National Guard.
The pair of hour-long sessions — which will be hosted by well-regarded Mayo Clinic sports psychologist Max Trenerry and is open to parents, coaches, team managers and administrators — will be held at 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Monday, July 22 in the Leatherwood 3 Room of Sheraton Overland Park Hotel, in Overland Park, Kan.
In youth sports, and especially in the younger age groups, adults have a direct emotional influence on the players who are playing the game. This session will help educate adults on what it takes to keep a fun sports environment and improve motivation for the players while alleviating the anxiety and stress that can come with high-level competition. The ultimate goal of the meeting is to increase the understanding of how to allow kids to have fun and play their best while at the National Championships and beyond.
Dr. Trenerry will guide the session by looking at several components of youth sports and how adults can approach them to benefit the child. These areas include beliefs, components of motivation, cheering, dealing with disappointment and more.

Trenerry is a licensed psychologist, specialist in diagnostic clinical neuropsychology and Associate Professor of Psychology in the Mayo Clinic School of Medicine. He is a sport psychology consultant for US Youth Soccer Region II and lectures for the National Soccer Coaches Association of America. He has provided sport psychology consultation for his local club, Rochester Youth Soccer Association, and has worked with athletes in youth leagues, the Olympic Development Program, College and Junior College soccer players, and soccer players in the Professional Development League.
In soccer, Trenerry holds the U.S. Soccer Federation 'C' License, NSCAA National Diploma, NSCAA Regional Goalkeeping Diploma, and the English Football Association's Psychology for Football Diplomas, Levels 3, 4, and 5. He has served as a board member and president of his local club, Rochester Youth Soccer Association (MN). He served on the Minnesota Youth Soccer Association's Education Committee and provided presentations for parents and coaches through the Notre Dame/Minnesota Youth Soccer's Parents and Coaches Together (PACT) program, and provided workshops for college-bound soccer players. In 2009, he was selected as MYSA's Boys Competitive Coach of the Year.
The adult education sessions are scheduled to occur before and after the Player Luncheon, which kicks off the 2013 US Youth Soccer National Championships. The Under-13 boys and girls age group was added to the National Championships this year and will feature four regional champions in each age group.
Each summer, the US Youth Soccer National Championship Series crowns the boys and girls national champion in seven age groups (Under-13 through Under-19). The finals are a culmination of a year-long series of competitions at the state and regional levels which provides approximately 185,000 players on over 10,000 teams from 55 US Youth Soccer State Associations the opportunity to showcase their soccer skills against the best competition in the nation.

Your location: Home > Adaptation
Parties adopted the Cancun Adaptation Framework (CAF) as part of the Cancun Agreements at the
2010 Climate Change Conference
in Cancun, Mexico (COP 16/ CMP 6). In the Agreements, Parties affirmed that adaptation must be
addressed with the same level of priority as mitigation. The CAF is the result of three years of
negotiations on adaptation under the AWG-LCA that had followed the adoption of the Bali Action Plan at the
2007 Climate Change Conference in Bali, Indonesia (COP 13/ CMP 3).
A chronology
provides an overview of all relevant negotiations, meetings and documents on the Cancun Adaptation
The objective of the Cancun Adaptation
Framework (paras 11-35) is to enhance action on adaptation, including through
international cooperation and coherent consideration of matters relating to adaptation under the
Convention. Ultimately enhanced action on adaptation seeks to reduce vulnerability and build
resilience in developing country Parties, taking into account the urgent and immediate needs of those
developing countries that are particularly vulnerable. At the Durban Climate
Change Conference in November/ December 2011, Parties significantly advanced the implementation of
the Framework.
The Cancun Adaptation Framework includes the following five clusters:
1. Implementation
2. Support
3. Institutions
4. Principles
5. Stakeholder engagement

OAKLAND — Two women were shot to death Sunday morning in East Oakland, police said.
Their names, ages and relationship were not immediately released.
They were found shot about 6 a.m. in the street in the 2600 block of Minna Avenue near Brookdale Avenue, and died later at a hospital, police said.
There is no indication they lived in the area of the shooting and police did not know what the women were doing there.
No motive was released and no arrests have been made, police said.
The two killings bring the total number of homicides in the city this year to 115, five more than all of 2011.
There were also two homicides on Saturday. One was 18-year-old Greysi Morales-Cordon, mother to a 3-year-old boy. She was shot to death on 28th Avenue in East Oakland.
The other was Aaron Marks, 19. He was fatally shot in the 5900 block of San Pablo Avenue in North Oakland.
Police and Crimestoppers of Oakland are offering up to $10,000 in reward money in the homicides. Anyone with information can call police at 510-238-3821 or a tip line at 510-773-2805.

Yes, Yes… I know… plenty of gay men enjoy football, are fans even, and there are lots of LBT fans as well, but if you're like me you greet all the hoopla over the Super Bowl with a resounding "meh."
So if you're looking for a way to avoid a (morning) afternoon (and evening (seriously, how long are football games supposed to be?)) of indecipherable sports jargon, over-hyped commercials and disproportionate passion for the accomplishment of moving dead pig parts 300 feet here are some alternatives with a decidedly queer bent you might enjoy (don't worry, you can Tivo Madonna's half time show):
1. ¡Women Art Revolution at The Museum of Fine Arts
Starting from its roots in 1960s in antiwar and civil rights protests, the film ¡Women Art Revolution details major developments in women's art through the 1970s. The Contemporary Arts Museum of Houston presents this documentary at 5 pm on Sunday at the The Museum of Fine Arts' Brown Auditorium Theater (1001 Bissonnet). Artist Lynn Randolph and U of H art history professor Jenni Sorkin will be on hand to provide insight into the film
!W.A.R. features Miranda July, The Guerilla Girls, Yvonne Rainer, Judy Chicago, Yoko Ono, Cindy Sherman, and countless other groundbreaking figures. Tickets are $7 and are available at mfah.org.
2. The Rape of Lucrecia at Houston Grand Opera
Written by gay composer Benjamin Britten and scored by Ronald Duncan, The Rape of Lucrecia is set during the decline of the Roman Empire. When a group of soldiers unexpectedly returns home to Rome they find that their wives have all been unfaithful, with the excpection of Collatinus' wife Lucretia. Later that night the king's son, Prince Tarquinius, accepts a drunken dare to seduce Lucretia. After she rebuffs his advances Tarquinius forces himself on her spurring Collatinus to rebellion against the king.
The dialogue of the Opera (which is in English by the way) is punctuated by two choruses, one male and one female, who engage the audience in the emotional responses of the male and female characters respectively.
The Rape of Lucretia plays at the Houston Grand Opera (510 Preston) at 2 pm on Sunday. Tickets start at $38 and may be purchased at HoustonGrandOpera.org.
4. The Drunken City at the Rice University, Department of Visual and Dramatic Arts
"The city's like a monster, like a sleeping dragon or some dark creature in the night that cracks open an eye, and whispers dark dangerous dark ideas into your ear."
The Drunken City is populated by thoroughly unpleasant people, the kind of loud sequin-wearing party girls who can immediately turn a hip bar passe and the men who hunt them. Marnie, the alpha-female and soon-to-be bride, has taken her co-worker bridesmaids out on the town for a ladies night. Seriously inebriated, they soon run into Frank and Eddie. Frank quickly takes a shine to Marnie, despite her girlfriends objections. Eddie, on the other hand, isn't interested in any of the girls but seems to know their shared boss quite well (if you catch my drift). The play is sprinkled through with warnings about human desire and the dangers of consumption.
The Drunken City is presented by the Rice University College of Visual and Dramatic Arts at Hamman Hall on the Rice Campus (6100 Main) at 3 pm. Tickets are $10 and are available at the door or by calling 713-348-PLAY .
4. The Temperamentals at Barnvelder Movement/Arts Complex
The off-Broadway hit The Temperamentals, by Jon Marans, explores the events surrounding the founding of the Mattachine Society, one of the first "gay rights" groups in America (although the Society for Human Rights has it beat by a quarter of a century). The story centers on Harry Hay (Steve Bullitt), a communist and Progressive Party activist and his lover Rudi Gerneich (Mitchell Greco), a Viennese refuge and costume designer. Set in the early 1950′s in Los Angeles, the play is an intimate portrayal of two men who created history and the epic struggle they overcame.
Sunday's curtain for the Celebration Theater produced play is at 3 pm at the Barnvelder Movement/Arts Complex. Tickets are $30 and may be purchased at buy.ticketstothecity.com.
5. Closing Night of Bring It On: The Musical at Theater Under the Stars
Bring It On: The Musical finishes up its run at the Hobby Center for the Performing Arts (800 Bagby Suite 300) on Sunday. Theater Under the Stars (TUTS) presents this musical re-imagining of the 2000 film with a matinee at 2 pm and an evening showing at 7 pm.
Two rival cheer-leading squads are out for the national championship, and neither is going to give up without a fight. The ensemble for the show features some of the nation's most skilled competitive cheerleaders led by Taylor Louderman and Adrienne Warren as the leaders of the rival squads.
Tickets start at $24 and are available on-line at TUTS.com, by phone at (713) 558-TUTS (8887), or in person at the Theatre Under The Stars Box Office (800 Bagby).

<h4> Part 2: Installing ros
<h4> Part 2: Installing ros </h4>
Revision as of 08:14, 19 June 2012
On this page I will distill my insights from taking robot lab, so that you might be able to much more quickly make your way to where I am now in terms of understanding robotics simulation. While taking robot lab I focused entirely on the simulation side of the subject.Robotics Simulators can be sepereted into two groups based on their software licence. Currently the most developed and widely used open source simulator is player/stage/gazebo.indeed in general the player/stage/gazebo software package is considered by many to be the most widely used robotics simulation software on the market. While there are other simulators available few compare.
Summary of work
In robot lab I learned to install player, stage, and gazebo. I learned how to create robots for simulation in ros gazebo and stage and lastly how to program them. I also spent a small amount of time looking at the merits of simulators other than player/stage/gazebo
How i spent my time in this class
I spent the first three or four weeks trying to install player, stage, and gazebo as well as looking at some of the other options available to students for simulation of robotics. Once I installed and learned to use ROS i found that it was not necessary to install player, stage, and gazebo if your going to use ros because ros will do the work for you. After I had gazebo working with ros i spent two weeks working on learning urdf to make a simulated robot and then learning xacro to make it easier to alter and add to that simulated robot. After that I spent a week trying to learn how to control a robot in gazebo through ros but my efforts did not find any results so i began learning how to do so through player. As a result of that I learned how to define a world in stage. My last task was to learn to use player to control robots.
Installing Ubuntu
Before you can even consider installing player/stage/gazebo, you need to install ubuntu. whether it be with or without ros, at this point it is very unlikely that you will be able to get it to work on any other operating system other than ubuntu. Luckly for you even if you have a computer running windows or mac os x, you can have a virtulization of ubuntu which will be good enough provided you are not using gazebo.
Follow the following directions to install ubuntu on a virtual machine.
- download and install the most recent version of virtual box
- Now you need to download ubuntu
- Next you need to launch virtual box and choose new to make a new virtual machine. follow the wizard as it has you set up the virtual machine. I suggest that when it is time to choose a hard drive make it dynamically allocated, as it will only gain size as it grows larger and you should give it at least 8 gb but I would suggest 20 as a perfect amount.
- After hitting create you will see a new vertual machine with the name you gave it under the new/settings/start buttons. Before you can start the machine and install ubuntu you need to have a disk available with ubuntu on it. If you are able to mount the disk without burning it then do so now. Otherwise you will need to burn it to a dvd or flash drive. After this is done and you have booted the disk, click on your virtual machine and either press the start button. Now you will see the first run wizard. You will need to choose the disk with the version of ubuntu you downloaded and press continue.
- Next you will be given the option to try ubuntu or install it to your hard drive. Choose install. Overright the harddrive as there will not be anything on it. As ubuntu installs it lets you go through the basic user setup.
- You have now installed ubuntu. Congratulations. The last thing i suggest doing right after finishing installation is to stop the virtual machine and clone your vm. There is an option to take snapshots of what you have been doing but I would rather have a full copy. This may take some time depending on the size of your vm, but it should not be more than 20 minutes at most.
Ubuntu Linux Basics
For those who have not spent much time using command line, using linux can be confusing as many functions can only be done through the command line interface. To bring up a command line prompt either press the keyboard shortcut ctrl +alt+ t. to go to a directory type cd(change directory) and the address of the folder you wish to go to. to create a new directory type mkdir directoryName to change permissions for a file type chmod u(for user. other options are g for group and o for others) + (+ adds permissions - removes) r w x(read write execute)
Player, stage, gazebo Section
Installing Player/stage/gazebo standalone
- player
If you are going to use stage or gazebo you must first install player. Player is essentially software which allows your computer to communicate with your robot, interoperate its sensor output, and give it commands to move. When used with stage or gazebo it allows you to
- stage
- gazebo
Installing Player/Stage/gazebo with ros
Part 1: installing ros on ubuntu 12.04
Installation of ros is comparatively simple. Making sure you know the version of ubuntu you are running and if there is any specific package you wish to use from ros, make sure you are using a distribution of ros which is supported. As with any linux software it is quite possible that the newest version is not yet compatible with the software you wish to use.
if the version that you are installing is still feurte and you are running ubuntu 12.04(Precise) then follow the steps bellow. These instructions are an enhancement to the standard install instructions for those whom are not as familiar with using ubuntu. If you are installing ros on a different system [part2 here] and use the ros tutorial as by this writing my steps may be out of date.
The first thing you need to do before installing ros is to configure your ubuntu repositories to allow restricted, universal, and multiverse. To do this you need to open the ubuntu settings by going to the top right menu bar and choosing the symbol in the rightmost place. In that menu there should be a settings option. If not they may have moved it since I last did this and so your best bet is to look up where to go in google.
Next you need to setup your sources.list. Open a terminal by pressing ctrl+alt+t. Copy this line into the terminal by pressing shift+ctrl+v:
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu precise main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list'
Now press enter to run the command.
Now set up your key by pasting the following command:
wget http://packages.ros.org/ros.key -O - | sudo apt-key add -
Now you need to run apt-get update to re-index the ros.org server. to do this paste and enter this into a command prompt:
sudo apt-get update
Note: sudo will require your administrative password. if you set your password in the ubuntu setup they should be the same.
Now we will do a full installation of ros. Before you start this step you should know that installing ros can take a while. Be prepared for a long wait. Paste the following command into the command prompt and then press enter:
sudo apt-get install ros-fuerte-desktop-full
Now that ros has been installed you need to set up its environment variables so that they will be added to each terminal automaticly. To do so enter the following into a command prompt:
echo "source /opt/ros/fuerte/setup.bash" >> ~/.bashrc
. ~/.bashrc
The last step you need to take is to install some stand alone tools which are needed to use ros.
sudo apt-get install python-setuptools python-pip
sudo pip install -U rosinstall vcstools rosdep
sudo easy_install -U rosinstall vcstools rosdep
Part 2: Installing a different version of ros or installing fuerte on a different version of ubuntu
To install ros for a version of ubuntu other than 12.04 or if you need to install a newer version of ros, It is best that you follow the ros tutorial for installation as i will not be updating this tutorial.
Note: choose a supported operating system. The experimental operating systems are both difficult to install ros on or not worth doing so because many features may not work outside of ubuntu. Also while you follow the installation instructions make sure to only do the actions which are specific for the version of ubuntu you are running. For example if it says Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric) that is only for ubuntu 11.10 and should otherwise be disregarded.
now that you have installed ros you should work through the ros tutorials. These tutorials will help you set up your ros installation and will also teach you all the basic information about how ros itself works and how to use it. after completing the basic ros tutorials you are ready to go ahead and install player, stage and or/gazebo

Programing a Robot for use with Player<p>
Other simulators to look at
In this section I will talk briefly about three other simulators I was able to look at.
Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio
The most recent version of microsoft robotics developer studio is available from their website here.
Microsoft developers studio is not the most intuitive piece of software to install but it is possible for someone with little programming experience to use it by mastering Microsoft's visual programming language. An editor for this is provided with the software, and this allows you to program a robot in simulation or with select hardware by working through the tutorials which are here. I spent most of my time playing with the example simulations provided with the suite, which shows the potential application for the kinect fairly well. The simulation itself looks very nice but It would not be particularly useful since it did not seem to have a point cloud library or support for the pioneer robot we were using.
V-Rep is a new robotics simulation that is currently still in developement. Students and anyone interested in the software can download a demo version which only disables the save function here
V-rep is a Virtual Robot Experimentation platform which provides a wide variety of features which I thought was most impressive. The features are described here. I thought of the most interesting to a student is that you can build the robot in the editor out of primitive shapes and then program the robot in the main editor through the lua scripting language.
In addition to being able to create your own robot in the simulator cad models can be loaded of robots, which clearly provides a level of accuracy that is missing in other simulators. V-rep includes a verity of robot models as well as other objects. All objects in v-rep are added the simulation by dragging and dropping from a list of objects.
The simulation comes with both mobile and fixed robots, so it can be used for a wider range of simulations, particularly since it has a wide range of physics interactions supported. Your robots actions can be programmed entirely within the simulator using a scripting language called lua and the built in api provides a large verity of functions including provides path planning. It has a wide verity of supported sensors and importantly has built in recording and monitoring of sensor data. Lastly v-rep application itself can be customized by either writing a custom main client application or by writing plugins.
Overall I would say the level of user friendly interaction combined with a fairly fully featured robotics simulation environment makes V-rep a very compelling choice of simulation particularly as a student who can easily be bogged down by dealing with getting the simulator installed and working.
Webots can be found here
Webots is the third simulation software I looked at and the one i spent the least amount of time looking at. With only a few mintues use I discovered that it does have some interesting advantages over player/stage/gazebo and microsoft developer studio in that the entire simulation and coding environment are integrated into a single piece of software. While for research purposes this might not be as signficiant as a student learning to program robots has been much harder to begin as one has to master the installation of the software and creating worlds before you can even consider learning to get a robot to do something. Webots allows the user to skip the more time intensive steps and get to learning to program a robot. I did not orginally look at the demo of webots until a week ago as it limits the user to two environments and does not allow the user to save. More importantly the price for the educational edition is $320 which would be fine for a class using it but not as such for a individual student to purchase.

I'm back from Taiwan with lots to report, enough that I'll split it into two posts. We had an extremely productive trip, dozens of meetings with manufacturers at the show and a plethora of new products. After the show we took the high speed train to central Taiwan and visited 11 factories.
Among the new products and projects:
- The final cold forge tooling for the Grand Cru 50.4bcd crank is now being made and we should have cranks in stock around July. We've made some small changes to the chain rings; they'll incorporate the latest "Shimano-style" tooth profiles, ramps, and pins, making shifting performance far superior to the TA and other classic cranks.
- We've also decided to develop a similar 110bcd Grand Cru crank. We hope to have them in production in a month or so.
- The less expensive VO cranks are now in production and should arrive in about 2-3 months.
- We'll soon have new high flange Maxi-Orange hubs in seven speed freewheel, fixie and cassette versions. The only thing left to do is find the very best Japanese stainless steel sealed bearings to use in them. Or are ceramic bearings worth the extra cost?
- We may also have new Grand Cru high-low hubs, still working on specs. Again, are ceramic bearing worth an extra $30-$50.
- A new VO rim is designed and we'll have prototypes soon. It'll be a very high quality medium width triple box section that looks like the old Super Champion but is much stronger.
- We'll soon have wing nuts for track and road hubs.
- The Grand Cru titanium rail saddle is ready for production. It's like the ultimate VO model 3 or Brooks B-17.
- More widths of VO alloy hammered fenders are coming. Should we do 37mm or 55mm first?
- Three new stems are on the way.
- Two inexpensive stainless steel touring racks should arrive in 2-3 months. They are our first Dajia Cycle Works products.

no no, i mean, i was being serious. i wasn't being sarcastic or anything.
i guess i must've been all out of the loop and ****, busy with work and school and whatever.
dang... stuff's a trip
haha its totally understandable. I've been super busy too. I don't think I've been active on here since 2010...
who is ??????
Oh, and that reminded me of an anecdote: some floozy in my class who is supposedly an engineering major asked if it was the right class for her major. Of course it isn't, so the dumb broad spent the last three months signed up for a class that doesn't do her any good, and didn't think to double-check on it until five minutes into the first day. This is the generation that will soon lead the nation.
also yeah, you're right. it'd be nice if i get to play with some crazy *** awesome bands like cursive or titus andronicus or whatever awesome indie band i can come across and play with.
Yeah right now I'm in Physics I. But the professor is awesome...he wore a LotR shirt and cussed in class. I can already tell its gonna be a good one. What I'm dreading now is Calculus II...it seems like witchcraft or something
Yeah my philosophy is nothing worth it comes easy. I'm just looking forward to my 90K salary...
But really, how do you mean? The only thing I can think of is that I don't keep my whereabouts quite so secret, and that was only because I had to discourage an outsider from considering moving here. I think. I can't think of any personal details I've shared that I know about most other people I give a **** about here (like name/age/what-have-you), if that's what you're getting at. Wait a minute... OH MY GOD, I'M OUT OF THE LOOP.
Also, I would totally follow whatever's left of the Grateful Dead, but then again it's only a good idea to take so much acid. Since I'm not up-to-date with trendy music and have no idea who you're talking about, I'd have to recommend Fleetwood Mac. Or follow John Frusciante to the grocery store and stuff.
I am pretty sure I remember ??????.
I have lost track of how many people stopped posting here over the years.

i need to listen to grateful dead, i've been jamming to lots of pretty good indie lately, even though now it just leveled up to the surface an is no longer underground. been going thru some good and bad artists and whatnot.
you should check out dot hacker. they're kinda like a mix of radiohead and muse. the singer plays with the chili peppers.
Man, that's way better than my professor. He's just some Indian dude with an accent and a PowerPoint. Have you taken any chemistry, or will you need to? Because in my experience, most of them are pretty foul-mouthed, and I have no idea why.
I always thought it'd be cool to make that much money, too, but then I realized I wouldn't be able to spend enough of it responsibly, and I'd inevitably take up dangerous habits because of it. JUST PROMISE ME YOU WON'T GO OUT LIKE JIMI, MAN.
ullshit. And, for me, bullshit is personal.
You know, the only Dead song I've ever actually listened to is "Truckin'" or whatever. And I think the only indie group I've ever listened to at length is Say Anything, plus maybe a couple of Mountain Goats songs, if either of those is actually indie I have no idea.
Man I love Josh Klinghoffer's voice. I'll get on that. And that reminds me, I still have to listen to Ataxia at some point.
Hey now, Domino's pizza is bad by pizza standards, but even a bad pizza still is a good meal. C'mon now guys and gals. Ya'll should know that.
Also, I was at Arlington Cemetery two days ago. Really neat experience, though I got all spooked out like I normally do at any burial place. Just something about lots of dead people in one place has always sort of freaked me out a bit. Though Obama and Biden were there the day before the inauguration (I was there too) and their vehicles came within about 15 feet of me, so that was cool.
Dominoes is okay I guess, there's a mom and pop pizza place 10 minutes away from my house and it's much better.
Dominoes is that go-to place if you don't have any good mom and pop joints in your area.

The price for this pile of BMW Marketing is 99,000 Euros or about $130,000. What does this get you? Frozen Black paint, matte black wheels, M stripes across the roof, some decals, and some extra badges on the inside. In other words, a complete joke.
How about taking the M3 GTS to an even higher level similar to how Porsche improves on upon the 911 GT3 with REAL special edition models? Maybe do an M3 GTS-R? I mean call it whatever you want but how about a real special edition to celebrate your awesome victory with something along the lines of a sharpened M3 GTS? Low weight, no-nonsense, with more power and more displacement. Not just some different paint and stickers, Pep Boys could make a special edition M3 by those standards.
The E92 M3 GTS and E90 M3 CRT are real special edition M3's worthy of their price tag. What BMW is giving us here is complete garbage and whatever sucker BMW convinces to pay over $100k for this car should have their head examined. Have some damn self-respect BMW, this is crap and you know it.
Pictures and press release below.
BMW M celebrates DTM triumph with BMW M3 DTM Champion Edition model.
Munich, Germany - December 5, 2012... BMW Motorsport returned to the DTM in 2012 after almost 20 years away, and the results in its comeback year exceeded all expectations. Canadian driver Bruno Spengler won the drivers' title, BMW Team Schnitzer finished in top spot in the team standings, and BMW claimed the manufacturers' honours.
BMW M GmbH is celebrating this success with the unveiling of the BMW M3 DTM Champion Edition. Mimicking the looks of Spengler's racing car, this special-edition model is available exclusively in Frozen Black metallic, while the carbon flaps and gurney, various dark chrome elements, matt black wheels and sections of the race car's livery also betray its close links with the triumphant BMW M3 DTM. The theme is continued by the BMW M stripe design over the CFRP roof and boot lid, BMW M logo to the rear of the front wheel arches and decals in the rear side windows. Inside the car, the door sill strips replicate Spengler's helmet design and the carbon-fibre interior trim strip bears the newly crowned champion's signature and the car's serial number. The special-edition model also contains various exclusive interior additions, such as the Alcantara® steering wheel, handbrake lever embroidered with "M Power" lettering, and extended black Novillo leather trim with features in contrasting Palladium Silver.
Technical elements like the Competition package, M Drive, M DCT Drivelogic and the M Driver's Package underline the car's focus on high performance. Equipment including the Professional navigation system, heated seats and Park Distance Control add more "everyday" ingredients to the model.
BMW M is also offering the 54 new custodians of the BMW M3 DTM Champion Edition which will be available in various international markets a very special extra. Owners of this automotive rarity will have the chance to attend the BMW M Fascination Nordschleife driver training course under the watchful eye of Bruno Spengler. One of the most coveted elements of the BMW Driving Experience programme, the course is held on the Nürburgring's legendary Nordschleife track, where BMW M cars are put through extremely exacting testing sessions and final chassis tuning is carried out.
The BMW M3 DTM Champion Edition will be built at BMW's Regensburg plant and the BMW M GmbH factory from February 2013. Prices in Germany start from 99,000.00 including VAT.
The BMW Group is one of the most successful manufacturers of automobiles and motorcycles in the world with its BMW, MINI, Husqvarna Motorcycles and Rolls-Royce brands. As a global company, the BMW Group operates 29 production and assembly facilities in 14 countries and has a global sales network in more than 140 countries.
In 2011, the BMW Group sold about 1.67 million cars and more than 113,000 motorcycles worldwide. The profit before tax for the financial year 2011 was euro 7.38 billion on revenues amounting to euro 68.82 billion.

By Attorney Scott Schlegel
Special to THELAW.TV
Kim Kardashian, now well versed in the act of divorce, is not letting her newfound love for Kanye West cloud her judgment, as the couple has publicly agreed to draft a prenuptial agreement.
Regardless of whether you are a millionaire rapper, and a millionaire … Kardashian, or simply two grocery cashiers, it is important to sharpen any blurred lines in your financial life before you tie the knot.
There are five main aspects to constructing, finalizing, and binding a prenuptial agreement…
The first aspect would be to involve patience and time-consistency when it comes to drawing up, making modifications, and signing the agreement. A prenuptial agreement can be over-turned if either party feels that the agreement was forced under stress, or untimely pressure. A prenuptial agreement may be a difficult issue, with its direct relation to divorce; however, it should not be stressful due to time constraint or situational pressure.
An example of this aspect: if either party of the prenuptial agreement were to make a modification and then seek approval soon before the wedding; a signature made under duress is almost as good as no signature at all.
The second aspect to most effectively formulating and finalizing a prenuptial agreement would be to understand the legal terminology involved in the contract. Legal terminology will flood the context of this agreement, thus thorough understanding of legal phrasing is imperative. The main point of a prenuptial agreement would be to differentiate between the marital assets and the separate [independent] assets that will be united in matrimony. The pursuit of better understanding of legal jargon is most effectively solved via the fifth aspect.
The third aspect to ensure a successful prenuptial agreement would be a full financial disclosure between each member of the couple. This meaning, before entering marital partnership, each member must be acutely aware of the other's assets, liabilities, and income. This may seem formal, private, and uncomfortable, but a successful marriage is built on honestly and knowledge.
The fourth aspect, dealing most directly with the finalization of the agreement, would be to ensure a valid execution. The agreement should be signed, and sealed in the presence of a witness and a notary. The most secure way to finalize the agreement would be in a professional legal setting. This provides legal accountability to the agreement, and in the unfortunate event, will be a catalyst to a clean divorce.
The last and most important aspect of the formulation and execution of the prenuptial agreement would be to involve a lawyer. The professional training a lawyer undergoes is sure to provide more accuracy and authority than Google or Wikipedia ever could. Having a family law specialized lawyer behind the prenuptial agreement is the most useful aspect a successful prenuptial agreement.
However, not any lawyer will do. You need someone who will put your issue at the forefront of their focus. Finding a law office that is well versed in family law is the most powerful ally to have in the drawing up of a prenuptial agreement, or even mediate a clean divorce.
The author, Scott Schlegel, is an Orlando, Florida divorce lawyer.

Half of the NFL's 32 teams have reached the midway pole of the 2013 regular season, and the other half will hit that mark this weekend. With that being the case, here are 10 stats we find interesting thus far... 1. The single-season completion percentage record is still on track to be broken, but no longer by Peyton Manning. Believe it or not, Philip Rivers leads the league with a completion percentage of 73.9, which is nearly three points up on Manning. Rivers threw 48 interceptions the last three seasons but has only five this year and might record the most accurate campaign in NFL history. Mike McCoy is a genius. 2. Five quarterbacks are on pace to pass for more than 5,000 yards, which is something only six quarterbacks have accomplished in NFL history prior to this season. 3. Jake Locker and Andrew Luck might have only 39 career starts combined under their belt, but those two young quarterbacks have thrown just four interceptions on a combined 376 passes. They're ranked 1-2 atop the league in interception percentage. 4. Tom Brady is one of only four qualifying quarterbacks with a yards-per-attempt number below 6.0. The other three are Brandon Weeden (benched), Josh Freeman (traded) and Mike Glennon (rookie third-round pick). Brady's 74.9 passer rating ranks 27th in the league, behind Glennon, Matt Schaub, Terrelle Pryor, Chad Henne and EJ Manuel. This has been by far and away the worst season of his Hall of Fame career. 5. Only 12 running backs are on pace to hit 1,000 yards. Sixteen backs did so last year. In 2006, 23 backs hit that plateau. And dating back to the turn of the century, we've never had a year in which fewer than 15 players hit the 1,000-yard mark. The league is averaging only 4.0 yards per carry. It hasn't been that low for a full season since 2005. Games are only averaging 214.6 rushing yards, which is the third-lowest total in NFL history. 6. The average game has had 46.2 points, which is up half a point from 45.6 last season. Since the 1970 merger, that was the first time we had surpassed the 45.0 mark. Since 2009, we've literally been adding close to one point per game per season. It's gone from 43.0 in '09 to 44.0 in 2010 to 44.4 in 2011 to 45.6 in 2012 to 46.6 in 2013. It's only a matter of time before we break into the 50s. 7. The Jaguars are on pace to surrender 356 more points than they score, which would be an NFL record. In fact, no team in NFL history has ever been outscored by more than 300 points in a single season. 8. The 32-year-old Robert Mathis is on pace to pick up 26 sacks, shattering the all-time NFL record. The Chiefs as a team are on pace to record 72 sacks, which would tie the all-time NFL record. On the flip side, Ryan Tannehill is on pace to be sacked 73 times, which would be the second-highest total in NFL history, behind only David Carr. 9. Robert Griffin III leads the league with nine fumbles. He has 21 fumbles in 22 games since entering the league at the start of the 2012 season. During that span, only one other player has more than 15 (Tannehill, 17). 10. Kickers are making 86 percent of their field goals, which is actually up 2.1 points from last season. There hasn't been a single miss from inside 30 yards, and kickers are hitting 94 percent of their kicks inside 40 yards. It's not even a challenge anymore. In fact, they're hitting 65 percent of their field goals from beyond 50 yards. That's a mark that had never been reached on field goals of any length until the 1981 season.

Geithner Said to Plan Departure Before Debt Ceiling Deal
Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner finds himself in a familiar position: eager to resume life outside government and facing contentious negotiations with Congress over raising the federal debt ceiling.
The last time he was in this predicament, in June 2011, President Barack Obama persuaded him to stay. This time, Geithner has indicated to White House officials he wants to carry through with his plan to leave the administration by the end of this month, even if a deal on the debt limit isn't in place, according to two people familiar with the matter
Geithner's departure would increase pressure on the president to name his successor at Treasury. White House Chief of Staff Jack Lew remains the leading contender for the Treasury job, according to the people, who requested anonymity to discuss the private talks.
Geithner, 51, is the only remaining member of Obama's original economic team and was a key figure in the taxpayer- funded bailouts during the 2008 financial crisis. He's also had a principal role in negotiations with Congress on the budget deal and in past deliberations over the debt ceiling.
Because Lew's experience in financial markets is thin, Obama may seek to name a Wall Street executive as deputy Treasury secretary, the people said.
While Lew, 57, worked as a managing director for Citigroup from July 2006 until the end of 2008, he's spent most of his career in government. He has served as director of the Office of Management and Budget for both Obama and President Bill Clinton. Prior to that, he was an aide to the late Tip O'Neill, former speaker of the U.S. House.
Administration Approach
Administration officials had approached American Express Co. (AXP) Chief Executive Officer Kenneth Chenault about joining Obama's second-term cabinet, possibly as Treasury secretary. Chenault has indicated to the administration he isn't interested in leaving the private sector, according to one of the people, and a spokesman said he plans to stay at the company.
"Ken has no plans to leave American Express," said Michael O'Neill, a spokesman for New York-based company, declining further comment.
A White House spokeswoman, Amy Brundage, declined to comment on personnel matters. Jenni LeCompte, a Treasury spokeswoman, also declined to comment.
Obama will have several top administration jobs to fill as he begins his second term.
New Cabinet
He's already nominated Senator John Kerry to replace Hillary Clinton as secretary of state. Lisa Jackson, the head of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, announced on Dec. 27 that she will step down. Obama also will be choosing new secretaries of defense and commerce, U.S. trade representative and Central Intelligence Agency director.
The administration's next battle will be over the government's debt limit as soon as next month. After reaching an eleventh-hour budget deal that averted more than $600 billion in tax increases and spending cuts earlier this week, Republicans in Congress have said they will use the debate over raising the $16.4 trillion debt ceiling to force concessions from Obama on spending and entitlement programs.
"This is a pressure point; we should use it," Republican Representative Scott Rigell said on Bloomberg Television today. "I want Democrats to help us on this. We're all in this together. We can't continue to spend at this rate."
Obama on Jan. 1 said he wouldn't bargain over the debt ceiling and warned that the consequences of not raising the government's borrowing authority "would be catastrophic."
Hitting Limit
Geithner told Congress on Dec. 31 that the U.S. hit its statutory debt limit, necessitating emergency steps announced last week to keep funding government operations and avoid default. By relying on the "extraordinary measures," Geithner has said Treasury can create about $200 billion of "headroom" to avoid a possible default.
The next Treasury secretary will have a major role in negotiating the debt limit deal with Congress, said Ann Mathias, director of Washington research for Guggenheim Securities LLC.
"Washington is turning from taxes to spending, which will dominate the view for the next quarter," Mathias said in an e- mail. For the Treasury secretary, completing a deal "will take an enormous amount of his, or her, time and involve the same back and forth between tables that we saw during the tax deal."
Debt Debate
Republicans, as well as some of the president's allies, say Obama will have little choice about the link between the budget and the debt-ceiling debate.
February will bring negotiations over cutting spending and funding the government, along with the debt limit, said Peter Orszag, Obama's first Office of Management and Budget director.
"Whether the debt limit is technically included in the negotiations or not therefore doesn't really matter," he said in an e-mail. "A deal will have to be struck over other spending items anyway, and part of the ultimate deal will have to be an increase in the debt limit."
Geithner told the president in June 2011 that he wanted to leave the administration and return to New York. With the European debt crisis threatening global growth and a fight over the debt ceiling looming, the president persuaded him to stay through the end of his first term.
Since then, Geithner has made no secret of his desire to leave his post as soon as possible.
In a Nov. 16 interview for Bloomberg Television's "Political Capital With Al Hunt," Geithner said he will stay in his post until Obama's inauguration, and he brushed aside suggestions that he might stay longer if a successor isn't confirmed by then.
He said he's "very confident that we're going to get enough done in these next few weeks" and that Obama will "have a successor in place so I'll be able to go off and do some other things."

My goal is to create a physcial and virtual biobot with four legs that walks. This biobot will be low to the ground with big feet to make balancing easy. It will walk by having opposite legs moving in the forward direction at the same time.
The biobot was created with the idea of carrying a handyboard on top of it. Due to this it has a wide short body. It has four legs which were orginally made with bricks and beams. Now they use 'arms' (i like to call them rods) with tires on the end. I put tires on the end once I saw how much the legos slid on the desk top. The tires added a lot more friction and solved this problem - it will be interesting to see if the bot walks on carpet. Each set of legs will be powered by a motor (I believe it may be hard to start the motors are the same time since we are not using the handyboards.)
http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d170/bestisyettocome3/Drexel/DSC01302.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d170/bestisyettocome3/Drexel/DSC01306.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d170/bestisyettocome3/Drexel/DSC01307.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d170/bestisyettocome3/Drexel/DSC01308.jpg
Week 1
Original Concept: I have decided to model my robot after the nara cricket, the link below is a video of it walking. I choose this bug mainly because I wanted to use a 6 legged insect. From my searches it seems that many different bio-inspired lego robots have been modeled after insects.
Week 2
I have been trying to build a six-legged robot and it is getting pretty large, so I may decide to knock it down to four legs. I orginially wanted to use six legs because I thought it would be easier to balance when walking, but now I hope I can manage to do that with just four legs.
Also, I found a researched lego motors since my kit did not have any. I found a site (link below) with different motors including the one that is in our kit. This site just tells you about them, but I have also found places to purchase some of them (ranging from $20-30.) If anyone needs motors (or has extra motors) please let me know so we can figure out if we need to place an order asap.
Week 3
This week I worked more on the physcial model. It is complete except for the parts that I don't have. I obtained a second motor and have sent out emails to see if people have the parts I need. Specifically, I need the lego peices with the wires so that I can connect my motors to the batteries.
I also spent time play with IDEAS what I have figured out so far:
Open the IDEAS 12 program
The model path should be F:\scratch\LegoPartsLibr.mf1, Click OK
Click OK twice, then dismiss
Save As something else before you make any chanages - there will not be enough room on the F drive so you will have to change the location. It is probably best to bring your own storage.
Click on the down arrow next to the Manage Bins icon (two red triangles on opposite corners with square in the middle) and select Get This will bring you to a list of the part, click the one you want and hit OK (will close the window) or Apply (adds the part but does not close the window)
When you add a part it will be removed from the list; if you do not want it any longer you can "put it away", do not delete it
The F keys allow you to change your view (hold them and move the mouse)
F1 – translate
F2 – zoom
F3 – rotation
All the items will come up in the middle of the screen to move them Click the move icon (two squares representing a translation) and follow the prompts in the lower right corner - more detail below.
- Select the part (left click)
- Right Click the part and go to done – a window will pop up
- If you select Move To you have to select another part to move it to
- If you select Slide on screen, you can click and drag it to another location on the screen
- If you select copy sw you can make copies – enter the number of copies you want and then click and drag
I have not been able to get two pieces to connect to each other even when trying to use the move align options.
Week 4
I completed building my physcial robot, but have not been able to test it. I plan to get the wires I need to hook the motors up to the batteries in class today. I also played with IDEAs more, but have not actually started building my virtual model. I am going to explore more tutorials before next week so that I can start to create my viruttal model.
Week 5
I read through some IDEAs tutorials. I am able to follow the tutorial to a certain point, but then the steps do not seem to make sense. I am not sure if they have changed the UI with the different versions, but the buttons it refreneces are not there. I want to look at other tutorials and play around with this more to see if I can mate two lego pieces.
Week 6
This week I was unable to make any progress. I believe I found the sequence of step to mate two lego pieces with IDEAs. However, IDEAs continues to be unstable. It consistantly crashes every time I attempt to make a joint. Since I could do little work there I typed up the notes from the lectures for this week.
I may have to switch to Adams or another tool at this point :/
http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d170/bestisyettocome3/Drexel/DSC01239.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d170/bestisyettocome3/Drexel/DSC01240.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d170/bestisyettocome3/Drexel/DSC01241.jpg
Week 7
This week I finally made some progress. I borrowed a set of wires so I can now power one of the two motors. This allows the bio-bot the walk without me hand-cranking it. The robot often falls apart, I believe it is because the motor spins so fast (it may also be because both motors aren't running.) I am going to either add more legos to the sturcture for support or connect it to a handyboard so that I can control the amount of power that is sent to the motor. I also thought it would be interesting to build a virtual model just like the current physical model and see if it would break at the same points.
As far as my virtual model goes, I have completely given up on IDEAs. I know I said this last week when it kept crashing, but I thought that it might actually work in the MEM lab. I spent some time with it there after Michael setup an account for me and got the license issues corrected; however, it would crash at the same point. Now I am going to use Solid Works to build my assembly. I have tested it out this week and have already gotten further than I ever did in IDEAs. I had two lego pieces and added contrainst to make a joint. I am going to continue working on this next week.
Week 8
This week I redesigned my physical model. I was unable to find two sets of wires. Since I could not power both motors at once, I took one out. I also added more legos to the sides which will keep the frame body from falling apart when it walks.
I have switched to Solid Works instead of IDEAs and things are going much better. I have saved the lego pieces that I need into solidwork parts and added them to some assemblies. I built the leg and the frame pieces that hold the legs in place.
Week 9
I built the virtual main body frame this week in Solid Works.
On Tuesday I met with Dr. Regli for a progress report.
And then Thanksgiving :)
Week 10
Week 11
The following media clips are available in two formats.

I was amused by one recent news story and angered by a recent opinion column. Both stories have just a little to do with bikes.
Numerous papers, magazines, and sites have written about a study by the Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development listing the world's happiest countries. This is obviously difficult to define, but their methodology seems reasonable. The top three countries are Denmark, Finland and the Netherlands. The first thing I noticed is that all three are countries that have above average bike ridership.
Here are the top ten:
- Denmark
- Finland
- Netherlands
- Sweden
- Ireland
- Canada
- Switzerland
- New Zealand
- Norway

On a less optimistic note, did anyone read this piece by George Will where he takes new transportation secretary, Ray LaHood, to task? Here is a bit of it:
Does LaHood really think Americans were not avid drivers before a government highway program "promoted" driving? Does he think 0.01 percent of Americans will ever regularly bike to work? Intercity high-speed rail probably always will be the wave of the future, for cities more than 300 miles apart. And as for Portland ...So even 0.01 percent of Americans riding bikes to work is unrealistic?
Let me say right off that I don't normally read George Will and I certainly have never agreed with him. But as members of the jabbering class go, I once thought he, at least, had some intellectual chops. No more.
